Hi all,
I've had my mac for awhile and never had a problem that a good old reboot couldn't fix, until now. My trackpad recognizes when i put my finger on it and the cursor moves and all but I can't click. If I reboot my computer I can click once but it doesn't "unclick" as if I click and hold down to drag. Does anybody know how to fix this or am I going to have to go to Apple?

Thank you in advanced.

How are the batteries? I had this same problem a few months ago. I replaced the batteries and all was good! Hope this helps!

If you're up to it, you can remove the top case and get at the trackpad adjustments. Some of our forum members have done this with success. Take a look at the instructions for removing the case: (have your model number on hand first)
