Q: Applications on MacBook not working
My MacBook turns out but no applications will open. Some keyboard shortcuts work but not the mouse. Not sure what software version I've got or how to find out when it's not working! Any help appreciated.

If Finder is all that is showing press,
Shift + Command + A to open the Applications window
Use Arrow keys to go down to the Utilities folder,
Move into it and locate and highlight the System Profiler application.
Press Command + O to open it
Use the down arrow, and run down to Software heading and you'll see what the OS version is.
Posting the OS version here will get your question posted in a better forum, that has more traffic and more chance of someone offering a solution.
Back to your main problem, in the meantime if you have a USB wired mouse, plug that in and see if things return to normal.
