Trackpad not working after Security Update 2010-005

I just bought a new MacBook last week (white plastic one). After doing the Software Update last night for the security update the track pad no longer works. I have tried restarting holding the cmd + option + p + r and still no track pad. Any ideas? Is there a way to back out the update?
I connected a mouse via USB and that works. I tried changing some of the options under system preferences for the trackpad but still no luck.
Thanks,
Jeff

First run the hardware test from the original installer discs:

If your data is backed up, just restore your backup.
If your data is not backed up, see this user tip:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1308817&tstart=0
Note, if that still doesn't work, your machine is likely still under the return/exchange period for most stores. You may want to just get an exchange if troubleshooting this issue takes too long.

  • PHP/MySQL issue after security update 2010-005

    Hello,
    I run Apache/PHP/MySQL on my MBP for testing Web sites.
    After the 2010-005 security update I can't connect to my databases anymore.
    I don't know how to fix this, I even don't know where to start looking.
    Ideas, anyone?

    etresoft, thanks for sharing this ... I decided to go with the TriangleJuice suggestion instead for two reasons ... first is that I wasn't sure where to find this launchd file.
    There is nothing wrong with TriangleJuice's suggestion. My only issue with creating a php.ini file is that now I have to worry about all those other settings in the ini file. If something else in PHP breaks, I have to figure out if I am the one who broke it.
    Apple ships MySQL with MacOS X Server. They probably adjusted the PHP settings to match how they have MySQL setup in MacOS X Server.
    For MySQL's, no, Sun's - drat! no, Oracle's part, they still haven't acknowledged the fact that Apple has shipped MacOS X 10.4. MySQL still ships with a Startup Item. If you don't know where the launchd file is, it is because you don't have one. You probably have a MySQL entry in /Library/StartupItems or maybe /System/Library/StartupItems. Startup Items were deprecated in 10.4. Oracle should be creating a file named com.mysql.mysqld.plist in /Library/LaunchDaemons.
    Here is what mine looks like now:

    I also don't have a /var/mysql directory and wasn't sure whether I should just create one or if this meant my configuration was different. If you feel like explaining any of this, I'd be curious to know.
    You have to create one. Such a directory probably already exists on MacOS X Server. Just make sure it is owned by mysql.
    sudo mkdir /var/mysql
    sudo chown _mysql:staff /var/mysql
    sudo chmod 0755 /var/mysql
    [jdaniel@Pele:516] /var $ ls -al /private/var | grep mysql
    drwxr-xr-x 3 _mysql staff 102 Aug 26 20:03 mysql
    Of course, /var is a symbolic link to /private/var. Long story there.

  • Wireless trackpad not working after lion update on May 15, 2012

    Right after OSX update on May 15, 2012, the pairing of my wireless trackpad to the desktop is no longer working.
    First the bluetooth found my trackpad.  After clicking "continue", the box showed: "No trackpad found  The pariing attempt was unsuccessful, click "continue" to try again. 
    I've been trying for several times.  Still not working!!

    Yes, I did replaced a new set of batteries!!  The computer keeps finding new wireless trackpad but once I click on continue, the box showed "the pairing was unsuccessful".  Again, this happend when I updated my OSX this morning.
    I clicked on the bluetooth set up box.  It shows a green light (connected) but sometimes turned red (disconnected) for no reason.  Then I clicked on "Monitor connection RSSI.  As I played with the trackpad, there seemed to be signals being detected by the desktop.
    Still, the mouse cursor cannot be moved by the wireless trackpad and the pairing is still unsuccessful.

  • Canon pixma mp600R not working after security update

    Hi,
    yesterday apple software update installed the last updates for my intel imac with 10.4.11. After that my canon printer is not working via airport. USB works fine. the networking utility sends and receive pings to the printer.
    Tried to reinstall with the canon network tool. after checking of the airport signal (good) the printer utility open but I cannot add my printer, because its not shown.
    does have anyone a idea to get the printer working wireless again?

  • VPN broken after 10.6.4 Update / Security Update 2010-005

    I have a MacMini Server that was running 10.6.3 in use as a gateway for the last 3 or 4 months and everything has been working just fine. However, after applying 10.6.4 and Security Update 2010-005 the iChat and VPN services broke.
    I was able to fix the iChat service by using serveradmin in Terminal - Server Admin was showing the correct name of the iChat server, but serveradmin reported a different (incorrect) name. My only guess is that one of the updates somehow changed that setting behind the scenes.
    I have yet to be able to fix the VPN (L2TP) issue, though. I can connect internally (to 10.0.1.1) with no problem. I can connect with via iPhone over 3G no problem. I cannot connect externally from a 10.5.8 or a 10.6.4 client - any attempt always fails with a timeout. The VPN log shows nothing, but the system log shows:

    Which seems to be correct to me.
    As with the iChat problem, everything seems to be correct as reported by Server Admin. I have been hunting for the incorrect setting using serveradmin, but so far everything there seems to be correct as well.
    One last item that I just discovered today, and which is probably a huge hint (and I just don't know how to connect the dots), is that when I stop the VPN service (it's running on the gateway server), the entire office loses it's connection to the internet. Turn VPN back on, and the internet is back.
    I think my server is deeply, deeply disturbed, but I am not ready to wipe it clean and start over again. I sure would appreciate any insights on this one....

  • ClamAV and DNS Failure with Security Update 2010-005

    Hey everyone, got a bit of an issue.
    I'm running Leopard Server 10.5.8 and I've noticed a very odd issue with the latest security update, (2010-005).
    Since the update, whenever ClamAV goes out to check for new definitions and database updates, all of my DNS clients lose connection during the few minutes that it's working. I've verified this by watching the logs as the updates happen. Everything is fine, and the second that ClamAV starts running, DNS fails on all the clients, then starts again after the update process.
    Anyone else notice this? And more importantly, how should I go about disabling ClamAV, since I don't run a mail server off this particular server.
    Thanks!

    The System Info below your post indicates that you are running OS X 10.5.8. The FaceTime Beta requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.4.

    I have an iMac4,1 with 2gig of RAM and OSX 10.6.5 and when I try to install Security Update 2005-005 I get a message that my volume does not meet requirements for this update. I know my OS is up to date. Could it be that my hardware is too dated? Do I need a newer model?

    Welcome to Discussions, BWS3RD
    The Security Update 2010-005 message is common for users who try to install FaceTime on a Leopard (10.5.x) Mac. The Mac FaceTime beta will not run in Leopard.
    Your posted system info shows that you use Mac OS X (10.6.5), but perhaps you are trying to install FaceTime on a Mac that does not meet FaceTime system requirements?
    The FaceTime product page http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime/ shows system requirements:
      "*Requires Mac OS X v10.6.4 Snow Leopard or later.*"
    I always suggest using the latest Snow Leopard version.
    If your posted Mac OS X (10.6.5) is correct, use the following method to apply the 10.6.5 Combo before attempting another FaceTime reinstall:
      • Backup your Mac and turn off Time Machine
      • Disconnect peripherals and restart Mac
      • Use Disk Utility to repair permissions
      • Download and install http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324
      • Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that finishes the update.
      • Download and install a fresh copy of FaceTime
     (• Turn Time Machine on again when you are satisfied that everything works.)

    Hi Folks,
    After security update 2011-005, I colud not get my second display working. I tried safe boot, didn't help, tried different resolutions didn't help. Reboot did not help either.
    The second display is detected but it is black.
    I am currently on MacOs10.6.8 running on my MacBook Pro.
    Peace.

    Don't remove any screws to do an SMC reset:
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Security Update 2010-005 for Facetime

    Hi,
    I have downloaded Face-time Beta to be installed on my iMac OS 10.5.8.
    During Installation i get a message that I need to install first "Security Update 2010-005 using software update"
    My software update shows no update required. Nevertheless, I have downloaded all 5 security updates and installed them one after the other, with no problems.
    Still i get the same message that Security Update 2010-005 needed when I try to install the Facetime.
    Can anybody knows a way out of this loop ? or how do I "Inform" the software update that the Security update 2010-005 is already installed ?
    thanks,

    Yes, you'd need to buy it - it's available widely for $29 (Apple store or resellers); you can then update to 10.6.4 - use the combo updater available here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
    (updates for an OS are available for free, but you do have to pay for the initial upgrade to another OS).
    Edit: And when you're doing the updates to 10.6.4, don't forget to repair permissions after each update.

  • Security Update 2010-005 Squirrelmail 1.4.20 timezones.cfg

    Was an update to Squirrelmail 1.4.20 included in the Security Update 2010-005?
    Is is just me or is everyone missing /usr/share/squirrelmail/include/timezones.cfg after this update?
    This causes an error when trying to access the Options > Personal Information.

    I manually updated to 1.4.20
    So *Security Update 2010-005* didn't contain an update to SquirrelMail but managed to break my install of SquirrelMail 1.4.20?
    I always use a sym-link so that automatic updates don't break my manual updates. But there must have been a script in the Security Update that erased the timezones.cfg file. Even if there was a SquirrelMail update included, why would it erase the timezones.cfg file?

  • Usb hard drive not loading after security update

    usb hard drive not loading after security update
    I can't seem to find any other posts about this problem.
    I have three external hard rives connect by a USB hub to my iMac.
    Problem is that if I turn on the hard drive(s) AFTER start up I get a message that the drive either was not recognized by the OS or that it was ejected unexpectedly. 
    I get the same issue but not all the time if I turn them on before I boot the iMac.
    I used the disk drive utility to "repair" the drives but they always come back as "probably ok". 
    If I restart the iMac with the drives connected (on), it seems to work but not all the time.
    A bit annoying as I am wondering if the drives are OK or not.
    I don't always need the drives as they are for backing up images from my camera using Apreture.
    This all began after i did the latest security update.
    is the update to blame?
    mahalo.

    Yes, you can still use those instructions to reset the PRAM.
    You said that you booted to your install disk and that your primary drive did not show up at the Select a Destination screen? That usually means that the computer is either not recognizing your partition, or it's not recognizing the hard drive itself.
    Start with this article and follow all the steps even if you already tried them. I suspect that you'll get to step 4 and you'll end up having to call Applecare. If you haven't done those steps, they're most likely going to make you do them anyway, so you might as well get them done before the call.
