My trackpad wont register when i click down on both sides. I have a MBP from 2009.

Just yesterday my mouse was going crazy moving all over the place and clicking everything and so i restarted it. Then when i turned my MBP back on it worked fine for a few minutes and then went crazy after a while.
I left it alone the whole night and woke up this morning to try it out again. The mouse isn't zipping around the screen anymore but i can't click on the left or right of my trackpad.
Please help me out!

Check for a swollen battery. It is under the trackpad and if swollen, it puts upward pressure on it from inside the MacBook causing erratic behavior. I replaced my battery on my 2009 MacBook and it solved the problem. Mine was swollen by almost 3/16" of an inch.

    Improperly seating memory is the curse of everyone, even experts.  No one wants to "break" the memory or the slot by pushing too hard.
    So, try again.  Push maybe *just a twinge* harder to seat the memory (just a twinge).
    As to speed ... memory mainly lets you keep more things active concurrently.  Unless you were severely overtaxing your old memory and causing huge "Page Out" counts, only faster HD makes huge speed increases.

  • The built-in "Notes" apps in my ipad2 wont open, when i click it immedieately it closes...help!

    Try rebooting the iPad by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously until the screen goes blank and you see the apple logo. It should take about 10-15 seconds to reboot. This should clear out whatever is hanging the app.

    Hi to all,
    I tried to update my nephew iphone 4 version 4.3.4 (8k2), I did back-up everything before attempting to update and the result when I click down-load and update, it does not update instead it says,  itunes could not contact the iphone software update server because you are not connected to the internet. I did check my wire-less connections and the connection from my PC to wire-less is hundred percent okay. I did search using google.com to confirm and my connections is good. Is there any problem regardings my firewalls or any help will be appreciated. Thanks

  • I downloaded photoshop, but it wont open when i click it

    I downloaded photoshop, but it wont open when i click it

    That same thing happened to me. I have Windows 8, and I downloaded the Adobe Creative Cloud Download Center, then downloaded Photoshop through it. But then it didn't show up in the Start window, or anywhere else. Then I found it in the Program Files, but when I clicked on it it didn't do anything. But when I downloaded Illustrator the same way, it showed up in the Start menu and it worked.

    Im on ubuntu 12.04 skype version 4.3.0.37 if that helps to know.
    It will show me the call metadata about when called and length of calls for all calls, but only some will play for me.  eg can play one from last July, but 2 recent from 2015 wont play.
    I will try soon on another system to see if my version etc is perhaps the problem.
    I just used linux mint 13 xfce with same skype 4.3.0.37 and messages play perfectly.
    I'll put something on the ubuntu forums abput this I think.

  • Having problems Updating iTunes 10.6.3, iT wont update when I click the update button. How do i fix this problem? And does anyone esle have this same issue?

    Having Problems Updating iTunes 10.6.3, it wont update when I click the download button to update the itunes. What should I do to fix the issue? And does Anyone esle have this problem?

    Just want to update the problem everybody is having downloading  the new update.  If you waited, and didn't try to reinstall or anything, it looks like a "fix" is coming to you.  My previous ITunes was working fine so I decided to just wait it out and see if Apple would fix it. Knew it wasn't my computer because of all the same questions in this forum.  And I want to let all to know that when I signed on to my computer today an Apple Software Update window popped up on my desktop.  (Not the little one we've all been clicking on from the ITunes screen.). This came up right on my desktop.  I clicked on it to download and it worked like a charm.  After it was done downloading I pulled up ITunes and all looked great, all my purchases, songs were still there.  I then plugged in my IPod and then my IPad and they both synced, etc., ....all is well again!  So it you didn't try to re-install or anything, and have just been waiting and using your current version of ITunes, be patient.  Looks like the fix will be coming to you, too.

  • Using OS X 10.6.8 on my IMac, I find that items on my message list no longer "fade" from dark to light when I click on them. I recently switched the font from Arial to Helvetica to permit me to select italics for any word. I am composing in rich text.

    Not sure why it would default to IMAP?  But any how, start the account anew, fill in the first page of info, but before clicking on the Create button, hold down the Option key until the Create button changes to read Continue.  Click continue, and proceed in a more manual process during which you can set the account type as POP.

  • Ver. 9.4.2 error msg when I click Attach to email: "No profiles have been created...

    My Acrobat Ver. 9.4.2 has the following error msg when I click Attach to email: "No profiles have been created.."
    I have created the profile in Windows 7 and it works fine with all of the Microsoft Office programs. I use Thunderbird email.
    I've followed the corrective measures listed by Adobe to no avail. Can anyone offer some help?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    It is possible that even though you are using Thunderbird, Windows might have made outlook your default email client once you installed Microsoft Office. Since there is no email profile set in Outlook, it throws an error "No profiles have been created".
    A work around can be to make create an email profile in Outlook and make sure that it is set as default email client by selecting it as default in "Default Programs".
    Hope that helps.
    PS: Adobe does not officially support Thunderbird.
    Thanks,
    Abhilasha

  • Upgraded iphone 4 to ios5. Apps show but wont open when i click on them??

    I upgraded my i phone 4 to ios5.
    All of my apps are still showing but when i click on them they wont open. Any ideas?

    Did you already try to reset your phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting the phone.

  • App wont launch when i click on it?

    I have downloaded the creative cloud and then installed the 30 day free trial of premier pro, the app says it has installed, however when i click on the icon for premier pro or on the name of the app it wont launch, i have tried uninstalling it and installing it again but have got the same results.

    Premiere pro CC application is not compatible with 32 bit computer , hence you are unable to launch it.
    Apps like After Effects. Premiere pro requires 64 bit support processor.
