Ok so I recently bought Spore on Origins for my Mac and started it up, when I got to the start up screen with the Galaxy and the little planets you can choose from, I tried clicking on a planet to play on but it doesn't do anything, it doesn't even show a preview of the planet. The only thing I can do is spin the galaxy around and press esc but even then I can't log out of the game because the left click doesn't work, I really wanted to play this game but all I did was waste 20 dollars...if anyone knows a solution please tell me.

@Freggi-Liz Ok, something curious just happened. 10 minutes after I wrote the reply, I tried starting up the game once again. All of a sudden the click-function, including my keyboard worked! But now I have trouble AGAIN with the click-functions and the keyboard. Now I found out that the functions all still DO work, but the click-options, for example to submit, is not located ON the box, but right under it. As if my computer/the game is not calibrated.. I do not yet have a solution. Does this occur often on mac computers with this game?
No does not happen often and normally it works perfectly. Try and using ⌘ Return at same time and switch to window mode. Then go under Settings in Spore and change the screen size

@Freggi-Liz Hi,
I have a similar problem. I have a Macbook pro, running Sierra. I just downloaded Spore via Origin. So far, the game launches without any problems, but when it shows the start-up screen, my left-mouse-click doesn't work, and neither does my keyboard. I've jumped into the sticky notes you have send, but I cannot seem to find the solution. Do you perhaps know which specific link on your list could be the solution to this problem?
