MBP not turning on and only right clicking?

Hello all!
I own a MBP purchased in November 2009. Yesterday after it had been closed for maybe an hour after use it would only right click when I used the trackpad. No matter where I clicked, and later we plugged in a mouse and it would still only right click. I then decided to re-start the computer as most problems I have are fixed when I restart. After it was turned off it would not turn back on, the battery was quite low. I took it to my friend and she got it to turn on (I guess after we pressed the power button enough times it just worked) once it was on we tried clicking and it still only right clicked. Since it was running on reserve battery power (which it does often, 95% of the time I run it down to reserve then charge it back up fully or almost fully) we plugged it in for the night. I realized that the fan was not turning off, as when I usually shut it, the fan will turn off almost instantly and even doing a lot of things at once it would only take a minute or too. I waited at least 10 minutes and the fan was still running and it was plugged in. In the morning the fan was not on because it had turned itself off. It was almost like the computer thought that the lid was still open and maybe it wasn't charging (but the battery lights say it is full) Does anyone know what I can do about this?

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.

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.

  • My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode

    My iPhone 4s is stuck on a black screen that shows a USB cable connecting to iTunes. The phone will not turn on and the iTunes logo as I described only shows up when I plug the phone into the charger or my computer. I have tried the reset in restore mode as well as the DFU? mode and it still will not work. I have the latest version of iTunes on my Mac. My error code was 2002. I also tried it on my laptop (windows 8.1) and none of the above worked. My error code on my laptop was 02. The phone is through Verizon and it has absolutely no damage. It was working fine up until this and I have been trying to fix it for 2 days. Please help! I am unsure of what version the phone was currently running on before this because I have another iphone that's my primary phone and have not used this one in about a month. I do not believe it was updated to IOS 7.

    Your iPhone is in recoverty mode at the moment so to possibly get it back up and running you would need to do a restore as you have been trying. Follow the steps in the article below for the specific error messages you have been receiving. If after following all steps the issue remains book an appointment at a local Apple Retail Store to have the iPhone evaluated.

  • IMac won't turn on. Only a clicking sound and a grey folder with flashing question mark.

    iMac won't turn on. Only a clicking sound and a grey folder with flashing question mark.
    Help.

    Your iMac is actually turning ON as proven by the grey folder with the flashing question mark.
    The flashing question mark indicates that your system is unable to find a bootable volume. The clicking sound that you hear is probably coming from your hard drive while it tries to recalibrate. I suspect your hard drive has failed.
    What model imac do you have? If it's under warranty I suggest taking it in for service. Hopefully you've been maintaining a regular backup of your data as all users should. I lost my data once and it was a valuable lesson. I back up regularily now.
    If your iMac came with install disks then you can boot from them, choose your language when asked, then pull down the Utilities menu to launch the Disk Utility application. The Disk Utility application will allow you to verify whether your hard drive has an issue. Usually a clicking sound, assuming it's coming from the hard drive, is a sign of a bad hard drive.
    If your system has Lion installed then you can hold down the Command and R keys when you restart the system, then launch the Disk Utility application from the menu that appears.

  • My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what do i do?

    Hello my name is Leslie and i would like to ask you guys a question on how to fix my ipod or what is wrong with it. My ipod touch 5th generation will not turn on and the home button doesn't work. what can i do to fix it ?

    Has the home button worked in the past, or is this been something that hasn't worked for some time? The only way to reset the device is with the sleep/wake (power) and home buttons together. Without it, you would have to wait until the battery dies and then plug it in to try and reset it. The Home button is used for several user troubleshooting steps. Without it, you cannot perform a reset, put the device into recovery mode, or place it in DFU mode. You need to get the home button repaired.

  • Is it possible to flag e-mails and/or right click an e-mail to mark as read/unread, etc. when using Microsoft Outlook Web Access in Firefox on a Mac?

    Is it possible to flag e-mails and/or right click an e-mail to mark as read/unread, etc. when using Microsoft Outlook Web Access in Firefox on a Mac?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I've never been able to figure out how to do those things in Firefox.

    When you use OWA in something other than IE, you're using OWA lite and no--it is not possible to do either in OWA lite (well, new Exchange stuff makes my answer a little less emphatic but still: pretty much no). Thanks Microsoft. But this guy made it possible to mark unread/read and select all/none:

  • Everything is very small, text, pics, programs dont even fill 1/4 of a page I can not read it and if i click apple plus things overlap each other so now what???

    everything is very small, text, pics, programs dont even fill 1/4 of a page I can not read it and if i click apple plus things overlap each other so now what???

    Can you think of any recent changes on your computer or in Firefox, new programs, add-ons, etc.?
    Have any cats walked across your keyboard recently?
    My first guess is the same as yours, which is a "zoom" issue. Holding down the Command key and pressing 0 (zero) should reset the zoom level of the current site to the standard level. Is that still too small?
    Regarding content overlapping, this can occur for a few different reasons. Please check on these:
    (1) "Text Only" zoom
    If View menu > Zoom > Zoom Text Only has a checkmark, click it again to unselect it.
    (2) Manually setting font sizes
    In the Preferences dialog (either the "3-bar" menu button or the Firefox menu) > Content > "Advanced" button
    If the Minimum font size is set to a number larger than 9, change it to 9 or None. A large minimum font size often will wreck the layout.
    At the top, there is "Fonts for" drop-down that usually will say Latin or Other Writing Systems. You will want to make the same change for both of those, so select whichever one isn't currently displayed.
    Finally, make sure the checkbox for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" is checked and OK out of the dialog.
    Any difference so far?

  • My mouse only right clicks

    I am having a problem with my mouse it seems to only right click. I checked in the setting menu but doesn't work the only solution I can figure out is to restart but mouse messes up after a few minutes. with the mouse problems I cannot do anything to the point I am posting this on my macbook. any help would be great.
    thanks

    It's not an ideal solution but one thing you can try is System Preferences > Mouse > uncheck Secondary click.
    This will disable the right click function.  When you want to do a "right click" you can hold down the Control key as you left click.  This will create the secondary click function.

  • My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in.

    My old 1st gen ipod touch wont turn on and makes a clicking sound when I plug it in. The ipod doesnt turn on when I plug it into the wall, even if I let it charge, and itunes won't recognize it. I have tried to reset it with the home and power buttons. Whats wrong and how can I fix it? I think it might be the memory or the battery. What could the clicking sound be related to? Thanks

    Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    After that I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPod does not turn on and it is not recognized by my laptop in iTunes... What can I do?

    My iPod does not turn on and it is not recognized by my laptop in iTunes... What can I do?
    Model iPod 2 Touch, 8G, It stoped working less than a month after it was purchased but I never sent it back for repairs or warranty to Apple.. Is there still a way to repair it on my own. It just simply does not turn on or charge and it is not recognized by iTunes when I plug it in to my MacBook Pro.
    Please advise...

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                 
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.
