RMBP/Mountain Lion - Not able to click anything on restart, mouse moves but can't interact with any elements

I started having this issue a couple days ago and it goes something like this. I was doing several things online with several things open. I clicked a picture to drag to my desktop to drop it there but when I released, the picture simply stuck to the end of my mouse, not moving. So I restarted. When I was given the account screen I tried clicking on my username but the software didn't respond. The issue happens every  10 minutes or so and doesn't depend on what applications are running. It always happens at restart. How do I fix this?

Uninstall or update "Air Display."

  • Pages Crashes Mouse moves but can't click

    Anyone ever have this problem. My mouse stops being able to click. I can move it. And the keyboard seems to work. I can switch applications with apple tab and close them out. But pages never comes back. I have to reboot. This has happen two days in a row on my mac book air.
    thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    Are you getting the spinning color wheel when the mouse won't click? If so, it could just be that Pages is working. How long have you waited for Pages to "come back"? Depending on what Pages is trying to do, it could be awhile. I do think Pages & Numbers both take more time than they should sometimes, but, unfortunately, I'm not sure what to do about that.
    If waiting doesn't do it, it could be Pages has corrupt preferences. Go to HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences, delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist, empty the Trash & then restart Pages. Another test is to see if Pages does this in another user account.
    The simple step of restarting your Mac can often clear up some issues as it clears some caches. You could also restart in Safe Mode (hold down the shift key after the "bong" until the grey Apple appears) then restart again normally. This will clear even more caches. While in Safe Mode, you can test Pages as well. Safe Mode will disable third-party add-ons & other non-essential system features (like my Magic Mouse! so I keep a wired mouse handy).

  • Why is it that my firefox has an unresponsive section?? i wasn't able to click anything on the first upper 3rd of the screen at any site i intended to access? it is like a paralyzed part but when i use chrome, it is not like that?

    i have a complete yahoo toolbar, then, the section below that was inaccessible of any action, even right-click or with the use of mouse wheel if your pointer was at this part....

    Recently both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • Why am I not able to click on certain things anymore and how can I fix this?

    I am on fubar and I cannot rate people or open shoutboxes. I believe it is a flash or java issue. It worked before on firefox 3.6, but now that I upgraded it won't.

    Hi,
    ( I search for iChat questions when I have finished in the iChat Forum)
    So the menu bar reads iChat, File,  Edit,  View, Buddies, Video, Window and Help
    There is no Buddy List open.
    There is no other window for iChat open.
    In the iChat Menu you only have access to Status.
    Is an item ticked in the list ?
    Is this a green (Available item) or  Red ( an Away one) ?
    Can you access the Accounts option ?  (Sitll in the iChat Menu)
    Is anything in here ticked ?
    In the Window menu any Logged in account should appear in the list  (Between the Next Chat and File Transfer items)
    It would be useful to know which version of iChat this is.
    If no account is ticked (iChat Menu > Accounts) or not showing in the Window Menu, plus you cannot determine the Status and you cannot access the Preferences then you need to access your Home Folder/Library/Preferences
    As the Library in the Home Holder is Invisible in Lion you will need the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Folder option  (you can use it in earlier OS versions if you want)
    Type in:-
    ~/Library/Preferences
    Find the file called com.apple.ichat.plist
    Drag it to the Trash and Restart iChat.
    This will lose all the settings in iChat that you have changed from Defaults but there is no way around this.

  • When i start my itunes, it start immediately but than i am not able to click on anything for at-least 20 minutes.

    When i start my itunes, it start immediately but than i am not able to click on anything for at-least 20 minutes.
    I have a lot of songs on there from my local drive and also a network drive which is connected to my local hhome network.
    Now before when i use to load itunes while it get frozen it used to collect information on 3 songs and i knew their names so went ahead and deleted them but now i dont see it collecting any information and just frozen.
    I just got an iphone and also noticed that once i am syncing my iphone and than i cancel the sync it will again freeze.
    What could be causing this, please tell me a way where i dont have to erase my library and re scan it.
    One important note - My iTunes Media folder location is on my Network Drive. Can that be the reason?
    Let me know.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Jay

    The "tap to click" function isn't enabled until a user logs on.  You should be able to use the "physical click" (push down on the front left of the trackpad) in the login screen.

  • IMac G5 freezes and mouse will move but not able to click on anything.

    iMac G5 frequently freezes where I am not able to click on anything. The mouse arrow will move around but I get no response when trying to click on anything.
    Also, at times the mouse arrow will dissapear when I'm moving it around. Are these two problems connected?
    I've already tried moving the mouse usb from the keyboard to the back of monitor. That doesn't help.
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    These are the iMac (early 2006) forum. For better informed responses to your question try posting in the appropriate IMAC G5 Forum here: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=881
    Although from what you say (freezing up randomly, inability to click mouse), it sounds like a bad memory stick. Did you, by any chance, put additional RAM on your machine? Check the memory in system profiler to make sure they are all ok.
    As for the mouse pointer moving around uncontrollably, try a solid colored mousepad, as some mousepads with stripes and intricately colored designs tend to "throw off' or confuse the optical lens of your mouse.

  • I am not able to click on anything in the top one inch of every browser page??

    On page like facebook... I am not able to click on any links that are in the top one inch of the browser... including the main menu bar

    Recently, the Yahoo Toolbar and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause that problem. They seem to overlap invisibly over the top of the web page display. If you have either or both, uninstall or disable them/it, or see if an update is available that solves the problem.

  • I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP

    Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
    If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office.

  • I bought a book on iTunes (pamphlet on upgrading to Mountain Lion) and I double click on it and nothing happens.

    I bought a book on iTunes (a small pamphlet on upgrading to Mountain Lion) and I double click on it and nothing happens. iTunes store does indicate that the file was downloaded.

    I am not a hundred per cent sure but my guess is that you have to sync that pamphlet to an iPhone or iPad to read it just like ebooks

  • I followed everything I need to do to enable my Apple ID account multiple times. Yet I still am not able to purchase anything. Not even with apple credits I have already stored in my account. Is there something I'm missing or doing wrong.

    What happens when you try to buy something ? If you are still getting the disabled message then since resetting your password have you logged out of your account on your device (by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store) or computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out menu option) and then logged back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it ?
