Cannot click on anything

I have Windows 7 32-bit professional, currently using Flash version 10.1.102.64.....On all websites using flash, I cannot click on any of the options or change tabs in the settings menu. Nothing is working, I click and click and no dice. I have un-installed and re-installed a few times now. I am using FF beta 4, please help.

It would appear it's just FF, i tried it on the beta and 3.6.12 and it idnd't work......Tried also in IE andd it works fine in there.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything.

While using a drop-down menu i.e. File, edit, image, or even when saving as and choosing the file type; the list appears and I am able to highlight what i want but cannot click on anything. This is becoming incredibly frustrating. It happens at random time and a restart of the computer is all that helps, then with out any notice it starts to do this again. Mac Book Pro i7 2.2 16 GB 1333 Ram, (2) 450GB SSD both internal to machine. At this point I am losing file because I am unable to save in the file type I need. Does anyone out there know how to solve this issue?
Thanks

I haven't been unify photoshop much in the past month, but I did try your suggestion and it seemed to work for a while. Today when i went to save a document the same thing happened: click on file>save at this point I can not click on save even though it is highlighted. Tryed to use command s that brings up the save dialogue box, but when I try to change file type I again cannot select it from the drop down menu.

Mouse function of trackpad on 13" macbook pro is no longer working. The trackpad is working fine as I can move the pointer around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. The mouse will physically click, but it will not register.

Hello,
My mouse function of the trackpad is no longer registering clicks. The trackpad seems to be normal as I can scroll the arrow around as normal, but I cannot click on anything. I hooked up a logitech usb wireless mouse, and it works fine, so I am assuming it is a hardware problem. Are there any simple solutions, or will I need to replace the trackpad? Thank you very much.

Conclusion: I had an unresponsive trackpad key in addition to other strange user-interface issues. Although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure.
Detailed history: On 3/2/12 I set off for work with my Macbook Air (first generation) in closed-cover sleep mode. When I opened it and tried to select a menu item, I notice that the mouse-point draws rectangular regions on the desktop. Moreover, though I am able to open menus, I could not select menu items because the click key (on the first generation MBA's they still have trackpad keys) does not work. At this time, I recall that even attaching a mouse did not seem to work. Since I was at work I used another computer to go onto the internet print out Apple's shortcut-key dictionary (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343) that allowed me to navigate and select things without my trackpad. Particularly helpful were the following shortcut keys:
'Control-Function-F2' --selects the Finder menu
'Tab' --allows you to hop to the adjacent menu header
'option-o' --opens selected items
'option-w' --closes an open window
This mouse-less navigation was critical for being able to use the internet when I went home from the office. I then began a little online research about my problem. I found nothing that seemed to fit my particular symptom, although I did glean the usual prescriptive advice about safe-mode startup, disk repair, and resetting the PRAM (see http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417). Note that I did each of these without consulting the official procedure in the forgoing link.
Without mouse-like navigation, I was unable to run the disk repair from the disk utility because the navigation shortcut keys don't provide a way to select certain unsupported items in the application window that are critical. I did manage to run a disk repair from the command line at startup using the 'fsck -fy' technique described in the apple support doc (see above). This probably enabled a mouse to now work where it wouldn't before--though I can't be sure--for the next day, I took my laptop into the Apple service desk and the technician hooks a mouse up and to my surprise it works though the trackpad is still ineffective. I even reinstall Snow Leopard which takes several hours. None of the forgoing techniques seems to help (except, perhaps the 'fsck -fy' procedure).
So, as mentioned, I take my laptop to the Genius bar to have it looked at. Since the technician had to remove the mouse to insert his testing gear (my MBA has only one USB port) and could not select anything on the apps windows, he concludes it's a mechanical problem. This was after I suggested that he hook up some sort of USB hub to provide the two ports needed to hook up both a mouse and his test equipment--but what do I know. Unfortunately, I passively listen as he describes that the replacement cost will be $180 for a new top panel with trackpad. Or I could just buy a new mouse for $50. I almost sprung for the panel replacement, but thought I might first do a little research online or just try to get by using a mouse from now on. When I got home, I thought it might be good to now run the disk repair, now that I could use a mouse to select the critical buttons needed to initiate the repair. This apparently did some good, as I now found the trackpad more responsive, though still behaving weird. I then proceeded to update my re-installation of Snow Leopard by initiating the Software update mechanism. This required a very large package for my slow DSL internet connection to handle, so I left my computer on overnight to complete this download. Upon startup, the trackpad key was able to select menu items, however when I selected a file, the file icon would stick to the pointer icon. Not good. What else could I do? I decided to run the disk utility one more time. When I did, some serious errors were spotted and I was told to restart the computer using the original installation disk and choose the disk repair utility from the startup disk. The repairs took place and it showed that the repair was successful. When I rebooted from the hard-drive the trackpad key works perfectly! In hindsight, although I did several things before solving the problem, it may well be that using the installation disk to run disk repair was the essential cure. I will certainly do that first next time I find the trackpad key unresponsive.

Cannot click on anything on web page

Hello - I'm having trouble with my Safari and wondering if anyone can help.
The top of my screen where the web address is has a normal background. I can typ in a web address and it will take me there. However, once the page is loaded, I cannot click on anything on the page, other than putting in another web address. Also, the backgrond below the web address bar is all light grey.
Anyone have or seen this problem before?
Thanks!

Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

My trackpad is not working it moves the arrow but I cannot click on anything or drag anything

My trackpad is not working on my MacBook pro. I can get the arrow to move but I cannot open files or drag files when I click.

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to bare metal from any of them.) Don’t erase the Lion recovery partition, if present.

Hi all, my mac book pro boots up, but my track pad operation is strange, cannot click on anything, although it moves around screen ok. Cannot launch anything, nor close anything. Cannot get task bar to pop up either with the mouse movement.

Hi All,
My mac book pro 13". It boots ok and skype launches on boot up. connects to internet etc. However, whilst the mouse moves around the scren ok, used via the track pad, I cannot open anything, close anything, or get the task bar to pop up.
I can close the laptop down via the power key, and can use some short cut keys, but the track pad operation is iffy, can you suggest how I rectify this.
I have now solved this, for future reference, I have a magic track pad as well and that was connected via bluetooth and sitting else where in the house. It blocked the laptops trackpad operations. When disconnected, my laptop track pad works fine.
Cheers
Jazzy

I can use the tab key to skirt around and enter to choose, but it doesn't work for everything.

Why do I have no cursor and cannot click on anything in Facebook app games?

I use a Mac and updated Firefox to version 3.6. Ever since, I have not been able to click in any facebook app game that I play. The cursor doesn't even show up. I used to love Firefox, but not anymore. Please tell me if there is a way to fix this. Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks for your fast response.
Unfortunately although this should have solved the problem (because the loudspeaker Ringer and Alerts slider sound and the Ringtone sounds are not turned off by having the headphone inserted) it did not.
I changed the headphone jack for a known good one and put the one from my machine in another iPad.
There was no improvement in my machine and the jack works normally in the other iPad.
Any other suggestions ?

Cannot click on anything in Notification Center, Today view. Running Yosemite, MacBook Air 13" '13.

After the Yosemite Beta 4 I was unable to use the Today view in Notification Center. Even after the update, nothing changed. And do not see anyway to add widgets, looks like nothing changed since that update Beta 4. Before upgrade to the official version I had the Beta 6. Everything else still looks the same. Keyboard is not responding at times like it used to be. Don't get what is wrong, and not sure if it even properly installed the original version of Yosemite.

Step 1: uninstall Avast See how it is as that is a known culprit
Step 2: Chrome does not play well with OS X and is also sighted as a leading cause
Step 3: DropBox has been a processor or network hog though less so than the above two.

When I go into iTunes store, the screen flashes and I cannot click on anything. Anyone know what may be going on?

Having trouble selecting music for purchase on iTunes Store because the screen flashes the visual images, then goes blank (white). Does anyone know what the problem could be?

Could also be that as you are an American .. you have an american creditcard, social security and all that...
now you try to log/connect in Germany .. this could be a security conflict as they will see where your IP is coming from ...
All in all, they want to prevent any kind of cardstealing and stuff ... just contact them, explain, and they will prob help you out!! ( cuz they sure doesn't wanna loose those nickels and dimes ppl put into their pockets )!!!!

Then the screen goes gray and I cannot scroll or click on anything

When I google something via safari I get the google options but my screen is gray and I cannot click
on anything or scroll. I have turned it on and off several times.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Cannot click or interact with a certain part of my screen in most apps

This is a weird one that's stumping me. Since probably Tuesday or Wednesday, I've had trouble clicking on certain portions of the screen on my MacBook. I noticed it first in Safari, and I thought that it was just a Safari problem, but now I realize it applies to the whole OS.
When I am in an app, I cannot click on anything or scroll when my mouse is on a certain portion of the screen. The weirdest part to me is that this portion of the screen is standard for every app. It's probably about the middle 50 or 60 percent of my screen in the lower third portion. Imagine cutting my MacBook screen into a Tic-Tac-Toe board... the lower middle box is where I'm having trouble.
This seems to apply to most apps, but for example in iTunes I can still click on items in this portion of the screen but only about every third click will it be responsive. With Safari and Finder and most other apps, I get nothing at all. It's not my mouse itself because it does the same thing if I'm using my Mighty Mouse or my Logitech mouse or just my trackpad. Also, if I navigate using the keyboard, I can interact with that portion of the screen just fine.
I can't recall installing or removing or changing anything significant within the past week that could have caused this, though it's entirely possible. I'm pretty good with my Mac on most things, but as I said, this one is stumping me and I can't find any similar issues by searching.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Got the exact same problem aswell, finally fed up with it now as i just started up firefox and 14 new windows opened because of this bug, luckily my computer can handle them but someone with a slower processor it would have been a nightmare, needs fixing ASAP.
Reverting back to 3.6.3 until this issue is solved. (link for anyone wanting to do the same below)
