MBP 2008 Click disabled on trackpad, left click not working on mightymouse & wacom pen tablet.

Hello,
i have a problem with a Macbook pro 2008.
The trackpad click button is not working anymore
(i've already tried to remove the battery underneath and push the wire that's connected to the pad,
nothing changed).
I've managed to sync a mightymouse, left click is disabled as well
(but not right click).
Then i've tried with a wacom tablet. Right click works, but not left.
(also tested switching buttons, yet no left click).
In conclusion :
left click is not functionning with any of the peripherals,
left & right click  are disabled on the trackpad.
I've also tried "tap to click" without success.
Does someone have any idea of what is happening?
And how could a have the left click back?
Regards
F

Since you have a 2014 MBP, by definition it is in the 1 year warranty period.  Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians sort the unit out for you.
Ciao.

  • Cannot open files with a double click !! Trackpad solution does not work, just makes my cursor move slowly. Have not found a solution in forums. Help needed please!!

    I cannot open files by double clicking ... have looked at forums and no solution yet !!! Control click is the only way i can open files
    "If you go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse and Trackpad -  You can set the speed of the double click to be much slower.   Hope this helps someone else with a similar problem. "  this solution did not work it just made my cursor move at a snails pace.
    Thanks for any help forthcoming !!!

    found this on another websites forum .... it worked
    I figured it out. Thanks everyone!
    I had to turn on my wireless mouse... And even though I wasn't using my wireless mouse and just the trackpad...I had to turn on my wireless mouse then adjust those settings...Had to turn down the speed. Then Once I shut the mouse off and started to use the trackpad again it works perfectly.
    I'm not sure why the mouse settings would change the trackpad settings but it did.

  • IPod model A1059, freezes, unresponsive to all click wheel entries.  Reset does not work.  Does not show up in ITunes or on windows explorer.  What is the problem and how do I fix it?

    IPOD model A1059 appears frozen and is unresponsive to all click wheel entries. Reset does not work.  Does not show up in ITunes or in Windows Explorer.  What is the problem and is there a fix?

    If you are unable to reset the iPod (assuming the hold switch is not in the On position either), then you'll have to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then connect it to a charger and leave it to charge for a couple of hours.

  • HT201406 i'm having to double click everything & the slide feature is not working.  What's the problem?

    i'm having to double click everything & the slide feature is not working.  What's the problem?  Resetting fixes it for a couple seconds then it goes right back. 
    i.e. If I go to open my mailbox, i have to 1st select the icon. then double tap it to open.  same thing once I get to an email.

    At a guess, turn off VoiceOver:   Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver.  Use three fingers to scroll.

  • Trackpad scroll function not working in any app - tried everything

    Hello.
    This is my 1st time writing in the forums, and although I have read multiple threads on this issue, nothing has yet solved my problem, including: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1248, & http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1449. SO ANY HELP IS WELCOME! I have a mid-2010 MBP 13" intel-based dual core with Mavericks OSX 10.9.1 installed already a couple of months now. As of last night, my two-finger scroll does not function in any app. It is the ONLY function on my trackpad that does not work. I have tried changing all scroll preferences, restarting the browser (firefox 27.0.1) & computer, as well as opening Preview app 7.0 to see if it affects other apps as well. It does not work even in Finder. I looked in the permissions section of my apps by right-clicking on "get info" & there seems to be a discrepancy between the default users and their permissions. I am wondering if this is perhaps the problem and can be reset somehow to default settings or if there is a terminal command that can reset the trackpad (like the PC function in the device manager of the control panel, diagnose/repair)? I have a screen shot of the different users/permissions that I can send/post you if necessary, but you'll have to explain me how to do this, as this is my 1st post. Thank-you!

    So whoever falls on this issue, I have visited the Apple Genius Bar today & this is what finally solved my problems:
    1. We created a TEST guest account in System Preferences to find out if it was a user-specific related problem, and it was as the 2-finger scroll function was working in the new user account. I was told this means that the problem is due to a setting that was recently added/deleted/changed.
    2. We deleted the new user account.
    3. We deleted the entire user library folder (except the Mail folder), as that is where all preferences are apparently stored.
    4. VOILA! 2-finger scrolling now functions as was intended (only all settings must now be recreated).
    It is tedious, but at least everything functions as normal & nothing needs to be backed up!
    Hope if anyone else has had this problem, they find this post.
    Cheers,
    Leo

  • HT1212 my ipod touch disabled and my p.c not working what do i do

    my ipod touch disabled and my p.c not working what do i do

    Thgen the iPod needs a wifi connection to the internet and yo need another iPod, iPhone or iPad with the FindMyiPhone app. you can also yse any computer too
    Only if:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Via USB with any computer with iTunes and an internet connection
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • The trackpad/gestures is not working correctly on mountain lion

    Hello,
    After I have downloaded Mountain Lion, my trackpad/gestures is not working correctly.  I cannot swipe with the three fingers, etc. and have to reboot and then it works, but will eventually not work over time.  Does anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    I am having the same problem now.
    Was okay when first installed on date of Mountain Lion release.
    Now I have lost function in Spaces.
    Spaces would only work if I used Dock icon to move between Spaces.
    Now just run everything in one Space.

    I have MBP retina 15". My track pad is not working well. It moves by itself, create folders, opens applications and I have to go against to it.

    Do you have BlueTooth device with depleted battery nearby?
    If that is not the case, you have to take the computer to the nearest
    Apple store to have it checked out.
    Best.

    How does your left earbud not work with other earbuds?  Do you mean the left earbud doesn't work with your iPod?

    Hi
    The left click on my trackpad, bluetooth or usb mouse is not working anymore.
    Macbook 2006 core2duo
    OSX 10.6.8 (snow leopard)
    I tried:
    - reset PRAM(apple+option+p+r)
    - without battery
    - boot in safe mode (shift)
    Without succes.
    Also tried to disable The trackpad with:
    - defaults write com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouch.trackpad USBMouseStopsTrackpad 1
    But the trackpad is still enabled also after log out an in again.
    The option in the "Universal Access" settings is not enabled as well.
    How can I enable this option "ignore trackpad when mouse" without a mouse?
    Tab does not work.
    Any other suggestions what I can try to fix?
    ps. I was in the apple store and they want 100euros for sending it to the service center)

    also tried:
    - repair disk (diskutil repairPermissions disk0s2)

  • Trackpad left click stopped working...bluetooth issue?

    I have a new macbook pro 15" i7 for about 2 months, and I have a magic mouse and wireless keyboard too. Everything worked fine until yesterday, when I turned on the pc and the left click on the trackpad wouldn't work! Right click works, the cursor moves...only left click doesn't. I saw on a forum that if I turned off the computer and press optioncmd+rp when it starts it would reset PRAM and could work again, and so it did. But the next day the problem remained when I turned on the computer...just for the experience, I tried to turn off bluetooth, where my mouse and keyboard were connected, and the trackpad now fully works! Is this weird? I didn't have to turn off bluetooth for both mouse and trackpad to work... It must be some software problem, because when it first occurred me, I switched to my windows bootcamp partition and it works there!
    Sorry for the long text

    I had this happen to me all of a sudden on my home iMac (2007) and my work 15" MBP (2010). I think it may be related to the multitouch trackpad in some way (probably/possibly the Magic Trackpad which I have paired both with my iMac and MBP). I started seeing multiple messages like this in Console:
    20-12-2010 11:29:40 kernel AppleUSBMultitouchDriver::_deviceGetReport - DeviceRequest for reportID 0x0 returned with result 0xe000404f - retrying
    I had also seen a forum entry (don't remember where) theorizing that a USB device continually polling the bus might be filling up a buffer in some way and making the left click unresponsive.
    For me, it looks like disconnecting the Magic Trackpad and reconnecting fixed everything without having to reboot. We'll see if it stays fixed. If you aren't using a USB keyboard/trackpad, then I'm not sure what to suggest since I don't think you can disconnect the built-in trackpad via software.
    Anyway, in the mean time, keep System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad > Mouse Keys accessible with the 'press the Option key 5 times' to activate option. This allows you to use the 7, 8, 9, u, o, j, k & l keys to move the cursor, and the i key to left-click. At least that way you can shut things down safely if things go haywire.
    If anyone else is having these problems, please post so we can get to the bottom of it.
    Best of luck!

  • Macbook Pro Trackpad Left Click Hold

    Hello everyone, My MacBook Pro, after doing something to my trackpad my left click is held. This usually happens when I play minecraft and my left click is held. Does anyone know how this happens?
    Thanks

    Update on the situation:
    1) Reboot in Safe Mode (shift-key down at start-up) -- secondary click still shows the application switcher.
    2) Ran Onyx -- Execute the defaults (no others) in the Automation tab and after rebooting the issue still persists.
    3) I removed the Microsoft drivers from my system and all plist files -- and reinstalled the MS drivers. On first use of the right-button on the mouse, I got the same "secondary click" response that I get with the trackpad. Before the uninstall it had worked correctly. I remember looking at the MS Mouse config options and it showed the right button performing a control-click. Now, with the preferences at their defaults from the software removal and reinstallation, I see there is an option -- and it is the default option, that the right-mouse button performs a "secondary click".
    So it isn't a trackpad or mouse issue, it is an issue that somehow the default system behavior for a secondary click has been changed from displaying the alternate menu to showing the application switcher.
    So the question is, what application or utility changed that? I was evaluating the Apple Mighty Mouse a few months ago and decided against it -- the right sensor seemed to fail often. Did that have an option to modify the secondary-click? I have Google and searched for tersm like ["secondary click" setting change modification hack, etc] and haven't seen any mention of that ability -- but clearly on my machine under my main user account, this is happening.
    I hope that helps get one step closer.
    Thanks in advance.
