My mouse wont left click mac mac os x#

In my situation, the root cause appears to be another blue tooth device in my house. The problem is that because the button was logically stuck in the 'down' position, there was no way for my focus to change to another window. I could still use the right mouse button and if I moved the mouse pointer in the Terminal or Safari app where the 'drag' action was focused, it would highlight and un-highlight text as if I were in that window doing that actual task. Once it happened in a Terminal window, once in a Safari window. My left mouse button would suddenly appear to be stuck in the down position trapping the 'drag' action over a specific window.

What other information may be useful to analyse and resolve this problem?įor what it is worth I was having this same problem. I checked the login items, just in case that there are rogue programs that may be the cause of the trouble, but it's only the itunes helper and the google mail notifier. for information, I just updated the system again (there was an SMC update available), and it works for maybe 10 minutes, or longer if not used, and then for some inexplicable reason doesn't accept left clicks any more (touchpad or USB-connected Logitech bluetooth mouse). The problem suddenly appeared a couple of weeks ago, possibly after some software updates. I've switched from Windows (ahem), and am now slightly bemused to find this kind of problem on a Mac. What are my options here? return it to the shop? have it repared? while these forums are a useful way to find out that I'm not alone, I'd like to know what the official ways are to get this fixed. This problem makes it basically impossible to use the computer.

Same problem here with the new MacBook and Mac OS X (10.5.6).
