Cannot click on anything whatsoever in default Mac applications

I'm having a problem where, with most of the default applications (like iMovie, Quicktime, Mail, preview, same Mac Appstore, etc.) I can't click on anything in their breast. I can my mouse hover over the 'x' button and that it appears, but I can't click on it. I can't click on anything that it is in the menu bar when it focuses on the application, so I have to click on another application to be able to force close it. Quickly, he becomes very annoying especially when I can't even check my email. I can still use other applications I downloaded perfectly fine. (My mouse works and all, but it may have started when I turned on my monitor, do not know how well.)

I use El Capitan 10.11. Any advice?

  • Messages that continue to come whenever I click on anything whatsoever

    Whenver, I click on anything on my computer, I receive one of several messages.  Back, forward, except as background, select all, create a shortcut, add to Favorites, encoding, properties.  Another message I get is to restore, move, size, minimize, maximize, close.  Another message I get is Cancel, cut, paste, copy, delete.  Another message ups is op, open in new tab, save, cut, paste, copy.  I press F10 and it goes only to come back when I click on something else.  How can I get rid of these messages?

    Don't right-click on the icons.  I think you describe the context menus.  They are not messages, they are options.  You can do with the file or folder you do right click on things.  Usually you will see those before doing an action, not because of an action.  If you see people randomly without doing you anything, then you have probably a bug or a virus.  But before you do anything else, do a right-click on an icon and see if I'm right.

  • Do not click on anything whatsoever on the Apple online store

    I have recently experienced this extremely strange fault when you browse through the online Apple store. I can't click anything. None of the links, hyperlinks, buttons, images or text can be clicked or highlighted. Everything is visible and seems normal, but I can't click on it. It is only if there is an invisible overlay in the html code that covers the entire page - even the top menu.

    The problem is not there when on the Apple.com regularly browsing iPhone, iMac or something else. But as soon as I click on buy or go to the store looking for a product I have this problem (for example on - http://www.apple.com/dk/shop/product/MLA22LB/A/magic-keyboard-- fransk - usa? e = 9 d fnod). I tried to open the website on Firefox and Chrome and it works fine - but not on Safari. Ironically, I knew only that on the Apple online store and not another site.

    Anyone have any idea what is the problem? It's really annoying because I use default Safari on my iMac and don't like to spend between browsers whenever I'm browsing through the online Apple store.

  • desktop screen flashing cannot click on anything

    Acer aspire e-15 are-511-c665 laptop without cd player. 1 > I updated all my drivers from the acer support. 2-> upgraded to windows 10 after install desktop kept flashing impossible to click or type anything. 3 > restarted went into blue screen try recovery to restore back to out of the box state only option it gave me was to restore with windows 10 & my partition was hiding was still in the computer, if I wanted to install a device driver, I can see him there. 3 > tried to start in safe mode using the cmd window with the blue screen of recovery options. He would not go into safe mode. 5 > turns off the computer for several hours it works once again it starts finally until windows 10 everything went well, does peripheral equipment & was able to go to disk management found all drives in there.

    6-> then ran the updates for windows 10 & norton 360. well once more every time rebooted the screen is returned to Flash, windows Explorer as well as other programs acer kept crashing. 8 > I could find in the settings to return to windows. 8.1.

    I suspect the office flashing & freezing issues is Norton 360 & program UEFI bios between 2 windows not allow 10 to make changes. what I want to do is there any way I can know that hidden partition has my acer recovery so I can put it on a usb key and how to make this usb bootable with it or I can buy an Acer for my laptop? just in case I can't get my windows back 8.1.

    I would like to win 10 to try, I think I might have to uninstall norton 360 & disable UEFI, or just uninstall norton 360 & loose UEFI? here a screenshot of what is in my disk management after that I returned to win 8.1.

    PS. I HAD to GO IN BIOS SELECT the OPTION to RESTORE to DEFAULT SETTINGS & f10 TO SAVE.

    I TRIED TO TRICK WINDOWS 10 SO IT WOULD ALLOW ME TO JOIN THE OFFICE & BEABLE TO CLICK SOMEWHERE THAT IT WORKED, I WAS ABLE TO GO BACK TO WIN 8.1 & EVERYTHING WORKS AGAIN AND ALL MY STUFF WAS BACK.

    I HAD ENTERED ALL THE INFORMATION THAT I SAW WHEN I WAS IN THE ADMIN CMD WINDOW FAR AS DRIVE LETTERS & QUANTITIES AND WHERE HE SAID FAILING THAT, REGAIN THE OBJECT, DISPLAY ORDER & BOOT LOADER INFORMATION IF YOU NEED THIS INFORMATION TO HELP YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WHAT IS PAST.

    I HAVE NOT ANY OTHER INSTALLED PROGRAMS OTHER THAN THAT THE COMPUTER CAME WITH & NRTON 360. IT IS FAIRLY FLAT.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    Hello

    Skype stopped working this morning with no changes to my system. I was running to the latest version of Skype, and whenever I tried to click on any recent event or contact, the error message "Skype has stopped working" appeared. I could only he kill via the Task Manager by putting an end to the skype.exe process, but not by putting an end to the Skype application.

    I tried to uninstall and install and even tried an older version, but it keeps crashing.

    I need Skype I do interviews online, so it's kinda urgent.

    I'm afraid so.

  • NEED HELP FAST - façade freezes when I run my program. I have all the events to the interaction of the façade. I don't have a chance to launch an event that I can't even click on anything whatsoever on the front panel?

    All,

    I'm pragmatic disabling most of the façade with a particular event. This freeze happened when I launched this event and then stopped the program in the middle of the event. While the program has been frozen at all times no matter how many times I turned on my computer and turned off and restarted labview. I tried with pragmatism, allowing some of these objects on the front façade of the loop of events without result. What else could it be? When I select the program stops at the structure of the event and is waiting for him. When I have a finite number of thread for the time terminal timeout the timeout event runs and then waits for the structure of the event and I'm still not allowed to do anything.

    Aaron

    Yenkip,

    OK, the moral of the story when programmatically disabling an object to front panel make sure you have the code that allows very early in the program, changing constantly in the middle of the program changes its active status. I tried enabling some of these objects, but not all. When I tried allowing each of them, I realized that everything in the deactivation of the tab control tab control disables not only the ability to change the tab control. IT WASN'T THE STRUCTURE OF THE EVENT. The guys help OR on the phone told me that the structure of the event was obviously the question. I'm fine now.

    Thank you

  • Cursor may not click on anything whatsoever

    Original title: slider

    I don't know the technical language. I'm having a problem with the cursor. Normally the arrow cursor changes to a form of hand when we need to click somewhere, for example "log" in a site. but my cursor remains in the form of arrow, and nothing happens when I click on a place that I have to. like, I can't sign my email once I connect because the cursor does not change its form. someone can help me.

    Hi aman74,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2 does the problem only occur when access to links?

    3. What is the serial number and model of the mouse?

    4. what web browser do you use?

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See section to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • I can't click on anything. I uninstalled lightroom and downloaded on another drive, but I can not click on anything whatsoever.

    I've been using lightroom for almost a month or two, and it worked very well.

    I guess you can open and close the program normally?

    Close LR, then hold down the ALT and SHIFT while opening the program.

    It must then be asked if you want to reset the preferences - click Yes.

    Maybe this will fix the problem.

    Hi Josh,.

    I don't know how you have that set up. It's weird that it won't let you close the menu, however, I put together a simple demo. Take a look below to see how I implemented the Muse file.

  • Firefox will not open even for a split second, shows the page to update norton toolbar in this time and closes before I can even click on anything whatsoever

    Firefox refuses to stay open for half a second. I deleted everything regarding Firefox on my computer, have run Norton Power erasers, am running a full system scan, and even tried to see if Norton was blocking it somehow. I don't know if it's some sort of error, processing, because the last time it worked he asked to update to firefox, and then he said that it was not compatible with the norton toolbar. After update, it crashes like this. I have re-installed many times off my internet, checked the Task Manager and nothing. I have no idea.

    System: Windows 7 32 bit, running on an eMachines computer. Never had this problem before.

    I actually ran it as administrator and it seemed to invite firefox finally to do whatever the heck he was doing. Thanks for the help!
