Mac trackpad click not working
Trackpad clicks in many cases fail because of tracked clicking setting being off or debris under the pad. Try enabling click, adjust sensitivity, or clean the trackpad.
Mac trackpads can stop clicking if the click setting is disabled, debris is blocking it, or the hardware is damaged. Enabling the click setting in most cases fixes it.
