I have a Macbook Pro (Retina, Late 2012) running OS X El Capitan (10.11.13).
What works:
- Secondary click with two fingers
- Feel/sound of trackpad click (no noticeable change in the feel of the trackpad)
- Three/four-finger swipes/gestures
What doesn’t work:
- Primary (i.e. left) click
- One finger tapping to click
What I’ve tried:
- Toggling System Preferences Trackpad settings
- Rebooting
- Toggling Bluetooth even though it’s normally off and I don’t own a bluetooth mouse (Can't click with trackpad or mouse (OS X 10.9, MacBook Pro))
- Using a USB mechanical mouse (right click worked, left click didn’t)
- Switching the Primary mouse button with the USB mechanical mouse connected (Secondary click on the left button worked, Primary click on the right button didn’t)
- Reset SMC and PRAM (http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/reset-macs-smc-pram/)
- Apple Hardware Test (No results found, could not click “Perform extended testing”)
- Booting in Safe Mode
- Checking Battery Health ("Condition: Normal” according to System Report; some people have had trouble with their battery bulging)
- Laying my Macbook Pro on its side and tapping underneath the trackpad area (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3097419?start=15&tstart=0)
I’m confused.
I’ve used the Accessibility Options Shortcut (Fn-⌘-⌥-F5) to turn on mouse keys, which I’ve been using for the past week. As fun as it is to toggle mouse keys on and off, I’d really like to get the clicking working. Please help. I will be happy if this has a stupid easy answer.
