Can't left click library or playlists!!

I'm using a sony vaio laptop with Windows 7. I downloaded itunes 10 2 days ago from the apple website. I can not left click on the music library, playlists etc...mainly the whole list on the left hand side. When I left click, a red circle with a line through it comes up and allows me to move the playlist. I can only get into it by right clicking, which brings up a list (delete etc). Also the itunes help does not work. A window displaying the message 'not found' opens with this message underneath:
'The requested URL /itunes/win/10.5/ was not found on this server.'
'Apache/2.2.3 (Oracle) Server at help.apple.com Port 80'
Please help!!

Same, I've been having this problem for a while now. I've tried reinstalling itunes, restore my computer to weeks ago, etc but nothing is working. I also used to be able to edit song names, artists, etc by left clicking. But same thing as libraries, it doesn't work. I honestly think that it is a problem with the 10.5 update.

Can't left click on certain folders in iTunes

WIndows 7, iTunes 10.5, iOS 5, iPhone 4
I cannot left click on certain folders in iTunes, such as Music, Movies, any of my Playlists, etc. If I left-click on them I see a red circle with a diagonal line through it. I have to right-click on it first, dismiss the pop-up window and I can access it fine.
This behavior is not exclusive - I can left click on some folders, like Apps, Ringtones, etc. Also I can left click elsewhere in iTunes like the menus at the top (File, Edit, View, etc.). I can also left-click elsewhere in Windows just fine.
Any ideas

Having the same problem with a windows computer.I can only click with the right button on the top folders. The lower folders like playlist work perfectly. I uninstalled Itunes because it had gone through an update and thought that a line of code or directory was missing but the problem persisted.
I have had no poblems with any of my macs which are all new however, when I launched Itunes which had just been updated on those machines, my macbook pro froze.
Looking for a fix...please help

Can't left click music, movies or TV Shows libraries

Windows 7 64bit, Itunes 10.5.0.142
I can't left click on the music, movies, or tv shows libraries.
I have tried running Itunes as administrator, but that did not fix the issue.
I can get to the libraries in question by right clicking and then hitting esc to get out of the menu, or I can use the arrow keys to navigate to the correct library.
So I'm working around the issue, but it is very annoying.
Help!

Can't Left Click in Flash Player Settings Panel - HELP PLEASE

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. Believe me it is a fraction of the time I have wasted trying to resolve this issue.
Basic problem is:
I am trying to stream to Ustream but since downloading AFP11 for my Windows PC when I open the Flash Player Settings panel i can't left click on anything. It is set to deny but I can't click allow, or close or any of the icons.
Right click does work.
I have followed countless instructions in other forums from other posts that have encountered the problem on Mac and older versions of AFP but as yet none of the solutions have proven succesul.
I have tried all of the following but nothing has resolved the problem.
1. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player (although this is impossible using Google Chrome) and restart computer.
2. Unistall flash and install older version. (made no difference on Google Chrome and on IE8 had no flash whatsoever).
5. Uninstall older AFP and reinstall AFP11.
4. Uninstall Google Chrome and restart computer.
5. Uninstall QuickTime (I got this off http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/flash-player-not-working-properly-please-help-1 61552.html) and restart computer
6. Last resort use keyboard shortcuts such as tab, enter and ctrl+arrows. This either didn't highlight the panel at all or if it did I still couln't select allow, or close the panel itself so was no help either.
So now I'm back to square one.
Now here's a really bizarre thing... I am using a shared laptop computer and if I use my colleagues profile where she hasn't updated her AFP to Adobe Flash Player 11 the settings panel is responding just fine. IT'S THE SAME PC!
I know I am alone with this problem but someone out there has an answer. If you can help please let me know how to fix this problem where I can't left click in the Adobe Flash Player settings panel.and I will be eternily grateful.
many thanks

OK the amount I hate myself right now is more than a fat guy's self loathing for raiding the fridge at 2am for Pizza but less than an armed robber who's accidentally shot a pregnant woman in the stomach during a shootout. but not much less.
So after I had miraculously got the Flash Player Setting Panel to work again, (after deleting QuickTime and leaving the window open for abut an hour it just started working again) I then got enticed into downloading the ustream producer software.
While downloading it informed me that it would only work with QuickTime.
Stupidly and Optimistically hoping it would remove the need to use flash player altogether I downloaded and installed both.
I then discovered to my horror that Ustream producer is not a patch on Vidbalster and that it was not capable of delivering the same level of broadcast.
I then opened the flash player settings panel on ustream and... the problem has returned!
This means I am 99% sure that QuickTime IS the cause of the problem so I have uninstalled QT off the PC. I have also uninstalled Ustream Producer.
The thing is though, now no matter how many times I restart, or uninstall and reinstall Adobe, or Google Chrome, I am once again UNABLE TO LEFT CLICK IN THE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS PANEL. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
What did I do? I fixed it and f***ing broke it again!
Now it properly will not come back to life! the problem is not solved and i urgently need help.
Why does Adobe Flash Player Settings Panel and Apple QuickTime hate each other so much that they've got to ruin my life?
Help forum PLEASE!
Regards,
nik

Do you otherwise have problems with the mouse in Firefox?
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline..Need advice

Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline, or drag clips around in timeline.
Can insert into timeline from Source Window but can't drag from source window.
Can cut and paste within timeline.
Restarting cs5 doesn`t help, but restarting computer solves problem for a while.
Tried many mouses, but that didn`t help.
Have no idea how I got the name OLD PRO, must have been drinking champagne years ago, because I am a bumbler par excellence!

Thank you so much for asking
In the Project Panel a left click highlights the asset but ignores the drag.
In the timeline, a left click highlights the panel and when I try to drag it gives a flicker but that's all.
I can cut and paste in the timeline.
A restart of CS5 has no effect. Restarting the computer solves the problem for a while.
Four different mouses--same problem.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Can't left click in some apps! Help!!

After upgrading to Mavericks, i can't left click on multiple apps including mails, maps etc. Even magic mouse cannot help. Any help / idea is greatly appreciated!

@macjack
Thanks for your reply and help. I tried the above, there werent many things in my login items. I have also deleted my startup items but even with logout or restart, the problem persist.
What i noticed when during mail app starts, i was able to left click on one email when the app is loading, but it ceased to function when it fully loads up... strange...
I did a recovery install of maverick and it yield the same results... 2hrs of my time wasted... btw, i upgraded from m lion (which worked great for me)... contemplating a reinstall of m.lion instead of using mvricks.
Seems like every road of a free os is always bumpy...

[SOLVED] Can't left-click with mouse (but I can on a tablet)

On a recent update, I noticed that my desktop would not detect my mouse's left-click. It correctly detects middle-click and right-click, however. On the other hand, I can left-click with a tablet.
How can I make it so that it will detect both the mouse and tablet's left-clicks?
I'm using evdev for the mouse, and linuxwacom-bamboo for tablet drivers.
Edit: My bad, it was a hardware problem! Bought a new mouse to fix it.

Open mouse in system preferences and see if secondary click is on right-click.

I can't left click to select or right click for menus. This works in IE, what do I need to do to get this to work in firefox?

I don't understand why this doesn't work. My OS is vista. The right click for menus stopped working several months ago, so I have been using IE when I need that. The left click to select stopped working 2 days ago. So now firefox is unusable unless I can figure out why it is doing this.

-> click Firefox button and click Exit
-> Start Firefox in Safe Mode (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
-> Firefox Safe Mode window will open. DON'T SELECT ANY OPTIONS, just click Continue in Safe Mode
Check and tell if its working while you are in Safe Mode.

Can't left click on Dock contextual menus?

hello thank you in advance for reading. This problem started a few weeks ago and its been more annoying then problematic, but it seems to me like theres no reason for it to be taking place. When i right/ctrl/secondary/two-finger click on an icon in the dock to pull up a contextual menu, my first reaction is to then left/primary click on whatever item i want. But this doesnt work. left clicking on, say, "quit itunes" just closes the menu the first few trys. only by right clicking a second time on the item in the menu works.. This only happens in the dock. i'm only a year into my mac experience so i don't have much more info. help?

hey thanks for the help, but removing the dock plist just defaulted its size, magnification, ect ect and didn't fix the problem at all. i've tried many difference mice, and different methods of clicking (like holding the mouse button down longer, pressing quicker, waiting a moment before clicking) but each time i right click the dock, the first couple times i left click my selection just closes the menu. which of course means re-right clicking... by this time i've gotten used to right clicking again on my selection.... but this just isn't right.

ENVY Quad Laptop, Windows 8, Can't Left Click While Pressing Another Key

Hello Everyone-
I just received my new laptop last night (ENVY Quad, Windows 8 Pro, 16GB Memory, Intel 7 CPU) and I had similar issues as others while trying to play online games. I was able to go into the touchpad controls and remove the settings that stopped me from using the pad while while pressing another key.
The issue I now have is that while pressing another key to 'walk' in my online game; I cannot get a response from the pad to perform a 'left mouse click'. Essentially I can choose to use my keyboard OR click my mouse.
Also, it seems to take a moment or two to realise I stopped using my keyboard before allowing a mouse click.
Any ideas on a setting I can change to allow simultaneous Mouse-clicks and keyboard usage? or is this a defect in my system?
Thanks!

I understand you are having issue with the mouse click. If you disable the pad it will stop the functions all together.
Here is a document on a TouchPad pointing device with a touch-sensitive surface.

How can you left click anywhere on the screen automatically using applescript

Im trying to create a script that automatically opens up an application and then click on the buttons inside of the application (Note that the buttons that the application uses are not considered buttons by applescript's standards). What I tried so far is this:
tell application "System Events"
click at {724, 490}
end tell
The faults that I can see so far is that I didn't specify whether I wanted to do a left or right click. Please help

Can you left click like on a mouse on an iPad?

Is there a way to mimic a left mouse click on an iPad?

Also for certain functions touch and hold and a menu will appear

Thinkpad S1: Can't left-click some web elements with trackpad/mouse but can click with touchscreen?

Hey so this is a strangely specific problem.
For some websites I cannot click some drop-down menus with my cordless mouse, the trackpad, or trackpoint buttons, but am able to when I press on the touchscreen. Same with some online games I used to play like: http://shape.method.ac/
In the website above, I can't click and drag where it says to "Drag to get started' (For anyone else maybe experiencing the same problem) with my mouse, but pressing and dragging on the touchscreen works just fine.
Stylus doesn't work either.
Other items are still clickable.
I can open and close windows just fine, most links work, but it's these graphic elements that I can't interface with. I can't tell if this is an OS problem, browser, or something like HTML5 causing it.
It happens consistently though. Any help would be most appreciated.

I'm having this exact same problem but it doesn't seem related to sleeping. It just happened randomly, and restarting hasn't helped.
