A bluetooth device (cellphone?, magic trackpad?) nearby is having issues communicating with your mac, probably because the battery is almost flat, or there is some interference. Turn off the device or replace the batteries (or disable bluetooth on your computer) and your left click should start working again. Right-click in Windows with Boot Camp on Mac. In Windows on an Intel-based Mac, you can do a secondary click, or right-click, using an Apple Mouse, Magic Mouse, or trackpad. Apple Mouse or Magic Mouse: Click the upper-right corner of the mouse. Sometimes this pops up after a computer has been moved physically, some software has been installed, or the Mac has been rebooted, and while it's peeving to not be able to click, it's typically an easy issue to resolve in Mac OS.

I have been reseaching this problem for the past couple hours because I am dealing with the exact same thing.
Internet explorer chrome mac. I have found two solutions and possible causes.
First, try turning off bluetooth completely. Sometimes if you have a paired mouse or paired device it causes the left click to stop working.
Once you try that and its most likely not the problem, well then I think its your battery. When the battery gets old and starts to go, it will expand. The battery expands and puts pressure on the back of the track pad causing it not to work.
I am buying a new battery so I will let you know the result.
My sources and info came from the following forum, well that one and many others. I know this is a late responce but i hope it helps others.
