players can't click on tokens

I started a new campaign (in pathfinder), created the maps, tokens, etc. When we started playing, my players discovered that they can't click on the tokens of the other players, and not on the monsters tokens. Can someone please point me, how I make my players click on other player-tokens, so they can cast macros and the like. They can't target monsters either, so no macros there either. This is my first campaign as GM, but I've been a player in other campaigns. I've tried to make my old GM co-GM, but he can't find any option either.
The tokens are all in the tokens layer, and the players can click and move their own tokens. I don't want the players to be able to move other players tokens around, so the option of control to all players is out.

What happens when a player tries to use a macro on another player's token?  Players do not need to be able to control tokens to target them with a macro, as long as the tokens in question are on the correct layer, which you've indicated is the case. I'm going to move this over to Bug Reports, and have your group work through our guide to Solving Technical Issues .  Have each affected player follow these steps: Step 1: Make sure to use the right browser Please check if these issues persist when using both Chrome and Firefox. Step 2: Ensure that there are no extensions/addons interfering with Roll20 Please disable all add-ons/extensions and anti-virus programs. Step 3: Clear your cache If none of the above succeeds, please thoroughly work through Step 4 . (Don't forget the complete Console Log!)
@{target| [whatever] } as in: /me "@{selected|token_name}" gestures rudely at "@{target|token_name}" saying "You only have @{target|HP} Hit Points left, loser!"

The @{selected} won't be able to be used on tokens you do not control, because it requires you to be able to be able to have the token selected before running the macro. But, @{target} is able be used against tokens you cannot "select". When you use the macro it goes into "target" mode and asks the player to click on the token they are targeting, and the cursor should change whenever they hover over any token on the token layer showing that they are able to "target" that token. In the example you posted, your players should be able to have their token selected, run the macro, then select the token they wish to target just fine. If this is not working, or is not what you are trying to do, please let me know.
Thanks for al the advices. I may not have been clear in my original post, I hope I can be clearer here: I want my players to be able to select a token (monster or other player) and run a macro on them (fear or heal). The problem is, my players can't select other tokens, except themselves. All tokens are on the token-layer (same as the players' tokens) and I (as GM) can move anyhting freely, select tokens, etc. I can give control over tokens to my players, and then they can select and move them as normal, but I don't want them being able to move monsters around at a whim.

Yeah, that won't work. If you want players to be able to get info from a token they do not control, they have to use the @{target} macro which basically gives the same options as @{selected}, only you pick the token after you run the macro rather than before.
