A common reason CTRL+click does not work in the old, browser-based RuneScape client on Mac is that some browsers consumed the Control-click as a system/context menu gesture and never passed a true secondary-click to the Java applet. The most reliable fix is to make sure macOS is generating a real secondary click and your hardware is set up to send it. On modern macOS, enable Secondary click in System Settings: for a mouse, go to System Settings > Mouse and turn on Secondary click (choose Right side); for a trackpad, go to System Settings > Trackpad and enable Secondary click (e.g., click with two fingers). Apple documents this workflow in Use secondary click on your Mac.

If you are still trying to play via a legacy Java-in-browser setup, be aware that it is no longer supported, and newer Safari/Chrome won’t load Java applets at all. The current, supported path on macOS is to install the native client via the Jagex Launcher, which handles right-click normally and avoids browser quirks entirely; see Install the Jagex Launcher. For anyone stuck on an old Mac running the Java version and seeing freezes like one poster described, try clearing the Java cache from the Java Control Panel and relaunching the applet (instructions from Oracle: Clear the Java cache on Mac).

Someone update me on this problem but in connection with Beyond Atlantis (Atlantis II) I have tried all the suggestions and can not get the rainbow bridge puzzle pieces to rotate as needed to solve the puzzle.

Ok, I got upset at the keyboard and accidently answered my own earlier post. it might help other MAC users. If Shift-click is not working, nor any of the other suggestions helping, hold down the Apple key or Option key and then type N on the keyboard. It worked fine. Might another keyboard stroke that works on your keyboard, but give it a try. For the record, I use a Logitech optical mouse with left and right clicks as well as the scroll wheel. Nothing helped until I found the N factor.

Problem solved :)
I too had htis problem.
Ingame click on the screwdriver to bring up and options menu, from there you can chose how many buttons your mouse has. If you have it set on one then it automatically right clicks if more that one action is available :)

Not sure how any computer users can even get away without a two buttoned mouse anymore.

The quick solution, IMO, would be to run down to best buy, or your local computer shop, and pickup a cheap 2 buttoned mouse.

click on the lil tool button at the bottom and set it to 1 button instead of 2, so then even if u left click ...it will right click

my imac g5 has a mighty mouse. if you get one of them(they are made by apple), you can go into system prefs and switch it from one mouse button to two. there is a sensor in the mouse that can tell what side of the mouse you are clicking on. it works really good. and for those that can't get runescape to work on your macs, i have no clue what you are doing, because all i did was have to download java and it worked. hope this helps.

You get on the settings on runescape, (the wrench) and click on the mouse, then you can right click. the settings is where the inventory and stuff is

Please spend some money on optical mouse and you can right click just like for any windows system. I too use Logitech optical wireless mouse. :-)
