Left Click doesn't work in Hotmail or Yahoo

I was running low on disk space and my IT dept said they deleted some "temporary files". Whatever they did hosed IE so that it reverted from v8 to v7. They redid the IE upgrade and installed a bunch of updates from MS and upgraded Java, but I'm still having a problem in FF. Most sites are fine, but when I go to Yahoo or Hotmail email, left click doesn't work. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling FF. I've tried running FF in safe mode and reinstalling some of the plugins that I thought might possibly have an effect. I still can't get it to work. I've used some of the web dev tools in FF, all I can find out is some of the errors that are reported on page load. On Hotmail, one is that a var called "JQuery" is undefined, among others.

Left click doesn't work in calculate fields

We have a Windows 8.1 Pro system. We are using Adobe Acrobat 11.0.07. When editing a for in the calculate field we can Select all or Deselect All
or we can select a field but have to hit the space bar to select the field. The Left mouse button doesn't work. Any ideas? We have can left click the field we want on any other OS just not Windows 8.1.

Click a bit off center of the check-box on the left. It's a known bug in
Acrobat.

Left click DOESN'T work (laptop)

Product: Hp Pavilion g6-2290ev
OS: Windows 8.1
No changes made to the system before the issue occurred
The left click was working perfectly but the next day was like stuck. After plugging in a USB mouse, which worked, the laptop left click stopped responding at all. I did download all the latest synaptics drivers even reinstalled it but nothing. Then i ran an HP PC Hardware Diagnostics UEFI and tested the mouse and gave me the failure ID : RLMXW2-6B76S5-MFPX0K-G2X203
what should i do now?

Likely the touchpad button board has gone bad and would need to be replaced.

You have to replace the whole top cover. Page 21 lists the part numbers by color of the laptop.
Assuming you have black, here is a tested used on on eBay:

Left click will not work

Hi I've been having trouble with my Satellite p755-s5390 (windows 7). It suddenly stopped being able to left click (and tapping to click as well), right click works and the pointer moves but using left click doesn't work at all, I've tried restoring to a previous date, reinstalling the touchpad driver, resetting things to default, fn-f9 solution, I have a button that clicks on and off the touchpad as well but I've tried that and still nothing I have no idea. I'm pretty frustrated and wondering if anyone could help me out?

I would try an external USB mouse. One to verify that it's not some mouse settings problem. If the external mouse's left button works, but not the built-in one, I'd say this was a hardware problem. Call the Call Center and arrange to get it repaired.

Does replugging help? Could you post a full dmesg including the attempt to replug (please annotate).

Spellchecking doesn't work in hotmail

I've recently changed my browser to firefox from internet explorer and now the spellchecker doesn't work in hotmail. It says the browser is checking the spelling automatically but it's not. I found a forum thread that told me to right click make sure there's a tick next to check spelling, but check spelling doesn't come up when I right click, neither does languages. I also went to about:config and there is already a 1 next to layout.spellcheckdefault.
I've pasted the thread I used below
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I started using firefox

Mouse right-click doesn't work while clicking on files in folders

Hi there,
I have an iMac 8,1 with 10.6.8 OS.
Mouse is a Logitech M-BZ105A connected via USB.
About a week ago, I've noticed weird problem with my mouse: nothing happens when I right-click on files in folders. Nothing shows up.
- left-click works (it's set as the main one)
- right-click works when clicking NOT on a file
- right-click works when clicking files ON a Desktop
I tried changing right-click to the main one, but then the left-click wouldn't work.
Very annoying as I can't use many handy functions like Compress, Get info, Trash (of course I can still drag it to remove it, but RCM would be better).
Restarting iMac didn't help.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Good work so far, doesn't sound like the mouse, but maybe a 3rd party app.
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

Clicking doesn't work anymore

I have a 15" MacBook Pro dating from mid 2009. Since the update to Mavericks clicking doesn’t work anymore, at least not properly. Sometimes it doesn’t work at all, sometimes I have to use right-click instead of left-click. Repairing access rights (hope this is the correct translation from German "Zugriffsrechte") helped only partially. Any incompatabilities known in this respect? Or any other suggestions?
Thanks!

my left click does not work on my track pad on my macbook pro 13 inch, is there a fix

I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 It's possible that something is damaged, and Apple Hardware Test will help you finding it. Make sure you tick the option to run an extended test, and connect your Mac to the charger.
If your Mac came with DVDs, you have to insert the Mac OS X DVD to run Apple Hardware Test. As you haven't got the SuperDrive, you will have to buy an external optical drive

Hi Mr.Acevedo329!
I have an article here for you that can help you troubleshoot the issues you are experiencing. That article can be found right here:
iPod troubleshooting basics and service FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1382
Specifically, you will want to take note of this section:
The headphones don't work
If your iPod's headphones don't work or have static or garbled audio, try connecting them to any other 3.5 mm stereo headphone jack, like the one on your computer. If the issue with the headphones persists, replace them. For an iPod under warranty, you can order a replacement online. Otherwise, check out the cool headphones at the Apple Online Store. If the issue appears to be with the iPod, try resetting it. If that doesn't work, then restore iPod with the latest iPod software using iTunes 7 or later.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

My magic mouse behaves erratically with intermittent problems - slows down, right click doesn't work, disconnects for a few seconds then reconnects. Anyone suggest what I could do to fix this?

I just figured out the print quality issue for my wife with her new iMac and new printer.
She replaced both at once and she couldn't understand why her Artisan 730 was lower quality then her Epson R280 when they had the same specs.
Turns out the newer printer had the option to connect via wifi which we used during setup.
The driver options are completely different depending on how you connect.
Once I connected via USB the correct options were available and the print quality was better.
Looking at the R2400 it dies not have wifi, but while researching the problem for my wife someone esle was having an issue updating to the latest printer driver.
If you go into the print utility from the Printer and Scanner system preference and under the general tab you should have driver 5.5.
One user had to delete the old printer driver before Software Update loaded the newer printer driver.

On my MacBook Pro (w Snow Leopard) I always had to reconnect my wifi at home when it woke up. I upgraded my router from an old Netgear to a newer N D-Link and stopped having to do that.
I would be surprised you would have that problem with an Airport Extreme, you might check to see if there is a firmware update for it.

When bluetooth is enabled, my left click won't work on my mouse???

My magic mouse stopped working with my left click. So i rebooted and plugged in a corded mouse. the left click still didnt work so I turned off bluetooth and it started working again.
here are my specs:
Mac Pro
Mid 2012
Processor 2 x 3.06 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 32 GB 1333 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.9.2 (13C64)
what in the bluetooth would cause this?

The following items may use or garbage-up the 2.4GHz band used for WiFi and Bluetooth:
Your neighbors' Routers, especially if there are more than two.
Too many Bluetooth devices nearby.
USB cables that are not rated for at least USB-2 and tagged that they are certified.
USB-3 devices whose cable are near Bluetooth devices.
Recommendations:
Use a Dual-Band Router for your WiFi to get it to use the additional 5GHZ band and get out of the way.
Use only cables that are tagged as certified -- set aside any "lowest bidder" cables that shipped with a drive.
Dress all cables away from your bluetooth devices.

hello jeffsprig, can you try to replicate this behaviour when you launch firefox in safe mode once?

File, edit, etc options no longer at the top of the screen since upgrade. My right-click doesn't work so I need the File, Edit options. How can I bring them back?

I only have Firefox tabs now and have not memorized all the Command keys to use when right clicking doesn't work. How can I access "File", "edit", etc....they used to be at the top of the screen before upgrade. I need to be able to copy/paste easily. Thank you.

The menu toolbar is hidden at default in Vista. You can use F11 to show it temporarily. Please also read this article:

Right-click doesn't work on select boxes, checkboxes & radio buttons. On other elements, there's no"Inspect Element" option

After installing FF 6.0, right-click doesn't work on select boxes, checkboxes & radio buttons, i.e. nothing happens on right-clicking.
The context-menu is available on other elements, but there's no"Inspect Element" option in the context-menu

Regarding the two-button click: just go to the "Sytem Preferences --> Mouse" pop-op and under "One Finger", check the "Secondary Click" box. Problem solved. I don't know how I missed this the first 3 times I went to there. Oh well.
And as for why I had to change the Trackpad settings to get the Magic Mouse zoom feature to work (see original question): I'm still stumped. Your guess is as good as mine.
Hope this helps!
Steve
