[SOLVED] Can't left-click with mouse (but I can on a tablet)

On a recent update, I noticed that my desktop would not detect my mouse's left-click. It correctly detects middle-click and right-click, however. On the other hand, I can left-click with a tablet.
How can I make it so that it will detect both the mouse and tablet's left-clicks?
I'm using evdev for the mouse, and linuxwacom-bamboo for tablet drivers.
Edit: My bad, it was a hardware problem! Bought a new mouse to fix it.
My xorg.conf.d configurations are:
# Catch-all evdev loader for udev-based systems
# We don't simply match on any device since that also adds accelerometers
# and other devices that we don't really want to use. The list below
# matches everything but joysticks.

Open mouse in system preferences and see if secondary click is on right-click.

Can not communicate any with Server, BUT I CAN CONNECT SUCCESS FROM "MANAGE SITES"

I can NOT see Server Files in dw cs6 , so i can NOT upload/download or communicate any with Server, BUT I CAN CONNECT SUCCESS FROM "MANAGE SITES"...WELL WHERE THE PROBLEM?

From the File view pop-up menu, choose Remote server

Firefox suddenly doesn't load ( can still do stuff with mouse but pages won't load further) at random?

So I noticed this after the first update. I will be browsing on sites ( sometimes with more than one tab open, different sites each time) and suddenly the internet will go 'dead'. I can still do stuff with the mouse e.g; close firefox, click the tabs etc but the pages just stop loading.
This is not a problem with the modem, as other things like msn are still running fine.
This started about two weeks ago, the only way to solve it is to close firefox and open it again.
This seems to only happen on my account on the computer, the other accounts don't seem to have the problem.

The default of the pref network.http.max-connections has been increased from 30 to 256 in Firefox 6+ versions.
Try to decrease the value of the pref <b>network.http.max-connections</b> from 255 to a setting like 30 as used in Firefox 3 versions.

Can't send pictures with Messages, but I can receive them.

While chatting with a friend I was trying to send him a picture using the native Mountain Lion chat client Messages.
If he sends me a picture I first see a large grey rectangle with a progress indicator which gets replaced by the sent picture once it finished loading.
If I try to send a picture it appears in the chat immediately but then gets replaced by the file name. He only sees the file name the whole time.
Both of us have Mountain Lion installed and use Messages with firewalls disabled.
We both have a googletalk account and were using that as our Jabber Messages account.
Audiochat and Videochat works without problems. Text messaging works without problems.
The only issue is me not being able to send pictures using Messages, no matter if I drag the picture into the client with finder or with iPhoto.
Is Messages using any special ports that need to get routed through?

HI,
Both of you should use the Window Menu to open the File Transfer Window.
You may list the item as "Failed"
Uploaded with Skitch!
The other end may say "Waiting".
If they do say "waiting" then your Buddy should open Activity Monitor (Applications/Utilities) and find the IMTransferAgent and Quit it from inside Activity Monitor
The four lower items were testing between a Jabber account and a Google ID ( File appears twice as the "To" and "From" in this case)
I do find my Google account tends to be the most unreliable in File Transfers or Pics-in-Chats

Yes, the iPhone 5S is a global phone. However, Sprint will only unlock phones for use on GSM networks outside of the U.S. In the U.S., that phone can only be used on Sprint's network.

My Left-click on mouse is not working on mac os 10.8.2 mac mini. Please help ?

Thank you for reading and helping out !
All of a sudden, my left click on microsoft optical mouse stopped working. Then it worked for sometime then permanently stopped working after an hour. (its been 24 hours now). It was working fine before.
Here is what I have tried so far.
Tried Replacement optical mouse, which was not detected. so can't even use a replacement mouse.. it only seems to recognize original mouse and respond to it only.
I have turned Bluetooth off so that shouldn't be a cause.
unplugged keyboard and still left click on mouse not working.
unplugged computer and all cables for more than 6 hours.. still not working...
couldn't zap pram (for some reason being a microsoft keyboard ?? would you have proper instructions on how to to do this in windows keyboard??? )
My Specs: mac mini 10.8.2 with microsoft ergnomic keyboard and basic microsoft optical mouse.
i appreciate any help you would provide to get this solved!
Thank you.

Can't Left Click in Flash Player Settings Panel - HELP PLEASE

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. Believe me it is a fraction of the time I have wasted trying to resolve this issue.
Basic problem is:
I am trying to stream to Ustream but since downloading AFP11 for my Windows PC when I open the Flash Player Settings panel i can't left click on anything. It is set to deny but I can't click allow, or close or any of the icons.
Right click does work.
I have followed countless instructions in other forums from other posts that have encountered the problem on Mac and older versions of AFP but as yet none of the solutions have proven succesul.
I have tried all of the following but nothing has resolved the problem.
1. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player (although this is impossible using Google Chrome) and restart computer.
2. Unistall flash and install older version. (made no difference on Google Chrome and on IE8 had no flash whatsoever).
5. Uninstall older AFP and reinstall AFP11.
4. Uninstall Google Chrome and restart computer.
5. Uninstall QuickTime (I got this off http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/flash-player-not-working-properly-please-help-1 61552.html) and restart computer
6. Last resort use keyboard shortcuts such as tab, enter and ctrl+arrows. This either didn't highlight the panel at all or if it did I still couln't select allow, or close the panel itself so was no help either.
So now I'm back to square one.
Now here's a really bizarre thing... I am using a shared laptop computer and if I use my colleagues profile where she hasn't updated her AFP to Adobe Flash Player 11 the settings panel is responding just fine. IT'S THE SAME PC!
I know I am alone with this problem but someone out there has an answer. If you can help please let me know how to fix this problem where I can't left click in the Adobe Flash Player settings panel.and I will be eternily grateful.
many thanks
nik

OK the amount I hate myself right now is more than a fat guy's self loathing for raiding the fridge at 2am for Pizza but less than an armed robber who's accidentally shot a pregnant woman in the stomach during a shootout. but not much less.
So after I had miraculously got the Flash Player Setting Panel to work again, (after deleting QuickTime and leaving the window open for abut an hour it just started working again) I then got enticed into downloading the ustream producer software.
While downloading it informed me that it would only work with QuickTime.
Stupidly and Optimistically hoping it would remove the need to use flash player altogether I downloaded and installed both.
I then discovered to my horror that Ustream producer is not a patch on Vidbalster and that it was not capable of delivering the same level of broadcast.
I then opened the flash player settings panel on ustream and... the problem has returned!
This means I am 99% sure that QuickTime IS the cause of the problem so I have uninstalled QT off the PC. I have also uninstalled Ustream Producer.
The thing is though, now no matter how many times I restart, or uninstall and reinstall Adobe, or Google Chrome, I am once again UNABLE TO LEFT CLICK IN THE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS PANEL. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
What did I do? I fixed it and f***ing broke it again!
Now it properly will not come back to life! the problem is not solved and i urgently need help.
Why does Adobe Flash Player Settings Panel and Apple QuickTime hate each other so much that they've got to ruin my life?
Help forum PLEASE!
Regards,
nik

Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline..Need advice

Can`t left click and drag clip into timeline, or drag clips around in timeline.
Can insert into timeline from Source Window but can't drag from source window.
Can cut and paste within timeline.
Restarting cs5 doesn`t help, but restarting computer solves problem for a while.
Tried many mouses, but that didn`t help.
Have no idea how I got the name OLD PRO, must have been drinking champagne years ago, because I am a bumbler par excellence!

Thank you so much for asking
In the Project Panel a left click highlights the asset but ignores the drag.
In the timeline, a left click highlights the panel and when I try to drag it gives a flicker but that's all.
I can cut and paste in the timeline.
A restart of CS5 has no effect. Restarting the computer solves the problem for a while.
Four different mouses--same problem.

Can't left click in some apps! Help!!

After upgrading to Mavericks, i can't left click on multiple apps including mails, maps etc. Even magic mouse cannot help. Any help / idea is greatly appreciated!

@macjack
Thanks for your reply and help. I tried the above, there werent many things in my login items. I have also deleted my startup items but even with logout or restart, the problem persist.
What i noticed when during mail app starts, i was able to left click on one email when the app is loading, but it ceased to function when it fully loads up... strange...
I did a recovery install of maverick and it yield the same results... 2hrs of my time wasted... btw, i upgraded from m lion (which worked great for me)... contemplating a reinstall of m.lion instead of using mvricks.
Seems like every road of a free os is always bumpy...

Can't left click on certain folders in iTunes

WIndows 7, iTunes 10.5, iOS 5, iPhone 4
I cannot left click on certain folders in iTunes, such as Music, Movies, any of my Playlists, etc. If I left-click on them I see a red circle with a diagonal line through it. I have to right-click on it first, dismiss the pop-up window and I can access it fine.
This behavior is not exclusive - I can left click on some folders, like Apps, Ringtones, etc. Also I can left click elsewhere in iTunes like the menus at the top (File, Edit, View, etc.). I can also left-click elsewhere in Windows just fine.
Any ideas

Having the same problem with a windows computer.I can only click with the right button on the top folders. The lower folders like playlist work perfectly. I uninstalled Itunes because it had gone through an update and thought that a line of code or directory was missing but the problem persisted.
I have had no poblems with any of my macs which are all new however, when I launched Itunes which had just been updated on those machines, my macbook pro froze.
Looking for a fix...please help

Do you otherwise have problems with the mouse in Firefox?
You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

I'm trying to sync my ipad over wifi, with my MAC, I have the updated software on my MAC, the ipad is up to dat 6.1.2. I can follow all of the steps, but I can't find a SUMMARY button on the toolbar, nor do I receive the option to sync. What am I doing wrong or what should I look for? Thank You

To sync your iPad over Wifi:
First ensure you're running iTunes 11.0.2. And you already have your iPad up to date, good.
Plug your iPad into the Mac via USB. Click your iPad in the top toolbar (under the search bar). Click the Summary tab if it isn't already selected. Check the box to "Sync with this iPad over Wi-Fi" (you may have to scroll down to see it). And now click the Apply button at the bottom right.
You should be able to unplug your iPad from the Mac and it should still remain in iTunes. (If not, try Quitting and relaunching iTunes and waiting, restarting iPad, etc).
To initiate a sync over Wifi, click your iPad in the toolbar in iTunes then click Sync. Or on your iPad, go to Settings > General > iTunes Wifi Sync and tap "Sync Now."
If this didn't solve your problem, please let me know with a more detailed explanation of what you're experiencing so I can try to help you get up and syncing wirelessly!

Can't left click music, movies or TV Shows libraries

Windows 7 64bit, Itunes 10.5.0.142
I can't left click on the music, movies, or tv shows libraries.
I have tried running Itunes as administrator, but that did not fix the issue.
I can get to the libraries in question by right clicking and then hitting esc to get out of the menu, or I can use the arrow keys to navigate to the correct library.
So I'm working around the issue, but it is very annoying.
Help!

Same, I've been having this problem for a while now. I've tried reinstalling itunes, restore my computer to weeks ago, etc but nothing is working. I also used to be able to edit song names, artists, etc by left clicking. But same thing as libraries, it doesn't work. I honestly think that it is a problem with the 10.5 update.
