Macbook Pro Will 'Tap to Click' but not 'Normally Click'

Hello, my Macbook Pro is not allowing me to click at all now. I can only 'Tap to Click' but when i physically press down on the Touchpad, the Mac doesn't accept it.
I don't know what i should do.
Is my only option to take it to the Genius Bar?
Thanks,
--André

Hi,
I think I have the same issue (new mbpro 15'' jan 2009), the normal "physical" click behaves very strangely, sometimes works sporadically, then doesn't work anymore at all. I had to enable the "tap to click" in order to be able to click :/
I can remember there was a firmware update at the very beginning for this glass trackpad because of those missing clicks and it seemed to be solved. But now, several months after, this seems to be worst than before: I sometimes enter this state with no physical click at all !
André, could you please keep us informed about the feedback you get from Apple if any ? Thanks a lot (I keep on trying finding something about it on the web but unfortunatly I always get articles from Nov 2008 about the 1st missing click issue that leaded to the firmware update... :/)

    No.
    Power Adapter/ cord wattage
    “Power adapters for Intel-based Apple notebooks are available in 45W, 60W, and 85W varieties. Although you should always use the proper wattage adapter for your Apple notebook, you can use an adapter of a higher wattage without issue.”

  • My MacBook Pro will connect to WiFi but will not work in one location but will at others. I have the same issue with my IPhone 4S at the same location.

    My MacBook Pro will connect to Wifi at one location (this is a secure location) but will not allow access to the internet.  I will put in the password but will not display page.  Other wifi capable devises do not have this issue but my Mac and my Iphone 4S will not work.  I have tried restarting the router.  All other wifi locations I have been to have not had this issue.  Any suggestions? I am realtively new to Apple products (less than a year) so any advise is greatly appreciated.

    The other devices that are working got on with the same password.  It says it is connected.  Just nothing works on the internet.

  • Can't get iCloud mail on my MacBook Pro. I used to, but not now.

    I have been traveling, and using all sorts of servers to get my mail through the mail program on my MacBook Pro (Blue stamp icon). But now I am home, and the problem that started while over the road is continuing.
    Under iCloud, the mail icon is checked. Under accounts, the only place blank is the IMAP Path Prefix. Port is 143, and SSL is checked. Authentication is Apple Token.  Checked are also "include when automatically checking for new messages" and "compact mailboxes automatically"
    Any help to get my mail up and running again?
    Thanks in advance.

    You're going to have to give us more info than "I can't get net flix to work."
    What have you done to try to get it to work?
    Have you installed Silverlight?
    Have you activated you Mac with NetFlix?
    How are you accessing NetFlix? (Browser, Boxee....)
    Exactly what is happening?

  • WiFi on my MacBook Pro works in one room but not in others

    If I bring my MacBook Pro next to an iMac in one room it will connect (albeit slowly) to the internet. When I walk 2 metres into my own bedroom it simply disconnects and stops working, while my phone stays connected and at a similar speed.
    The MacBook will recognise my WiFi, and will ask me for the password, even though it's been entered dozens of times. When  I enter this password it says it's incorrect. If I then walk back into the other room WiFi rrconnects.
    What's wrong here?
    My MacBook Pro is a late 2011 13" model.

    Wireless interference, probably, but Apple's Wireless Diagnostics may supply some additional helpful information.
    To use it, hold an option key while you click your Mac's Wi-Fi icon, and choose Open Wireless Diagnostics...
    The following authentication dialog will appear:
    Authenticate with your Admin password, then click the Continue button in the following:
    The network analysis and diagnostic tests will take several minutes to complete:
    When it completes, if your wireless network is functioning properly the following will result:
    If something is amiss, supposedly the results will be different and you will be presented with helpful information.
    Assuming your connection is "working as expected" select Continue to summary and click Continue:
    Ignore the pre-populated text field, which is provided as a place for you to type in additional information should Apple ask for it in the course of obtaining technical assistance from them. Apple has no way of knowing where your router is located in your home, and certainly doesn't know if you even have an upstairs bedroom closet.
    Click Continue.
    The next step will also take a few minutes:
    When it finishes, you will be presented with a summary that may or may not be useful to you:
    The above result is uninteresting, but if there are additional actions for you to consider they would be included in the screenshot above.
    The WirelessDiagnostics-xxx.tar.gz file deposited on your Desktop can be dragged to the Trash, or you may wish to expand it and examine its contents. It's up to you.

    I was typing on my macbook pro when all of a sudden the keyboard stopped working. It makes a type sound that it didn't make before, but it won't type any letters. However, when I did a restart, I could type in my password. What's wrong with the keyboard?

    Would like to get Messages on Macbook Pro OSX 10.7.5 so that I can sync with iMessages from my iPhone 3GS. Not sure if this is possible though. Or do you  have to have Mountain Lion to get Messages? It seems that I only have iChat on my Macbook.
    Thank you!!

    You need to have Mountain Lion to get it.

  • My Macbook Pro will recognize my network but will not connect to the internet

    My macbook will not connect to the internet at home.  It works fine on other networks, but at home it will recognize my network name but says it will not be able to connect to the internet.  This issue just sort of came up randomly.  I have shut the router off (I use Verizon Vios) and reset it and that doesn't work.  The little Wifi status at the top of the screen just has an exclamation point over it.  I haven't changed any of the default network settings.  It just stopped working.  When I take it to work and use their network or free wifi available at stores etc...it connects just fine.  A few weeks ago upgraded my operating system to Mavericks, but it has worked up until this morning.

    Do this. Go to Apple menu / System Preferences / Network.
    In the left column, click Wi-Fi. Next click Assist me, then Assistant. Follow the on screen instructions.

  • Mac Pro will connect to internet but not network with other systems

    I have an iMac in my studio reception and a Mac pro and Macbook in my office. All three systems can connect to the internet but the Mac Pro has stopped networking with the iMac. However the iMac can network with the Pro. I have an ethernet cable connection to the Pro (no wi fi card) and I have a wireless router on the iMac which has enabled me to connect the Pro to other systems through wi fi. I also have a PC laptop and the Pro can connect to it via wi fi. Everything was networking properly several weeks ago and as far as I am aware I have not changed any settings. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this annoying little problem.
