Cmd-click (hold down the Apple key and press the mouse button) any time you would normally right-click. This will enable you to open the pie menu, contextual menu, and other features which would normally be done with right-clicking.

If you're on a Mac laptop that has a Multi-Touch trackpad, place two fingertips on the trackpad and click the trackpad button to right-click. This can be configured further in the System Preferences window, opened by selecting Apple > System Preferences. Click Trackpad to configure trackpad options.

We highly recommend purchasing a multiple-button mouse, as it makes many commands in Second Life much easier to execute and will greatly enrich your experience. Apple's multi-button Mighty Mouse is standard with current desktop Macs, and there are many affordable 3rd-party alternatives. Nearly all USB mice work cross-platform and can be configured with driver software to meet your needs, so if you have a spare USB mouse from a Windows machine lying around, try it with your Mac.
