MAC OS weird behavior after last patch update

Hello all,
I don't know if this is the right place to address this discussion. If not can anyone point me the right direction ?
3 days ago I installed the OS update for Leopard (the ~720mb one) and yesterday the OS start to act weird.
- It started to lock the mouse clicks randomly
- if I leave the mouse alone very frequently it starts calling the expose functions
- expose stops working from nothing, and together the dock magnifying stops working as well
So, I tried to test some configurations to see if I could find out what was causing the problem.
- Tried different mouses/keyboards - problem persists
- turned off expose functions one by one till turning them off completly - reduced the problem.
Doing those tests I found out that the option in expose where you can assign keys to the expose functions were causing the major problem. Again, the mouse behavior was still making me angry, mainly because I play WoW and that was happening very often when I was playing the game.
I finally decided to reinstall Mac OS. I chose the option to make backup of existing system and install a new one.
All done, installed, let's try it. Problem persists! I just can't belive it!
Ok, let's try the other option, erase entire hd and install everything again. Made my 100g backup files, did the instalation, and the problem persists!
Anyone has any idea what could it be ? hardware problem maybe ?
ty vm in advance.
Davi.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*"let's try the other option, erase entire hd and install everything again. Made my 100g backup files, did the instalation, and the problem persists!"*
I wonder if you reinstalled a file that's causing these problems.
Might be a good time to boot from your install disk and check the hard drive.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(*Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)*
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
Hopefully Disk Utility will say the disk appears to be ok.

  • Way weird behavior since last software update...

    I have had my machine 3years and never experienced issues like this... First of all I just had to re-set my password to get in here... The secret question I set for myself was not the one I set for myself... Dig? nor was it my mac.com address in the window when it came time for me to have it emailed... Second time I have had to reset my password in 72hrs... Mail has gone nutz too! deleted mail reappears... drafts multiply then dont go away after being sent... mail moved to created folders shows back up in inbox... Then acts like its sending when there is nothing in drafts or outbox... Almost always have to force quit... All of this started about a week ago with latest software update... Checked permissions... ran thru disk utility... gettin more nutty every 6-8 hours..***???

    I am having very similar difficulties. Is this a symptom of the dreaded virus or malware attacks I have heard of. Anyone with insight please help. My Mail is completely useless in this state.

  • Cannot start mac mini coreduo after last security update

    Hi,
    after last security update mac mini cannot see anymore the new 7200 rpm hddisk which worked like a charm since that…
    When try to boot now I see only a question mark folder…
    I can fix permissions via dvd, I can see the mac mini disk if i connet via firewire to another mac,
    but cannot boot from it…
    tried a kind of tech tool test: it seems that I've got a huge amount of corrupted .plist files…
    How could that happen?
    does it mean that it's not an hardware issue?
    should I reinstall snow?
    help me please

    I thought that erasing was formatting as well;
    no, it's not. there is probably something wrong with the partition map of the drive which is why your mac firmware does not recognize it as a boot drive when you restart. simply erasing the drive won't fix it. reformatting might.
    anyway I'm reinstalling now, if doesn't work will try reformatting too…

  • CD Tray open automatically after last Security Update

    when I start up or restart Mymac Pro CD Tray open automatically after last Security Update. Also I could not reinstall Mac OS Tiger because CD Tray open automatically every start up or restart. What's happen? Somebody help me! Please~

    Hi.
    If you have a USB keyboard and mouse, try unplugging them and then restart. If you have a Bluetooth set, remove the batteries and restart.
    See what happens.
    Good Luck.

  • Unknown Error (-53) after last "Patch Tuesday"

    I'm unable to sync my iPod Touch since the day after last "Patch Tuesday". I get an alert referencing an "unknown error (-53)" every time I try to sync. I've tried the usual windows steps; uninstall and reinstall, reboot multiple times, disable all anti-virus, anti-spam, firewall, curse, pray, etc. I've done a search here and Googled but haven't seen any discussions.
    Is anybody else having this problem or is it just another windows anomaly requiring a format and clean install?

  • Firefox extension: "TrueSuite 5.2.500.16" stopped working after last firefox update (30.0), even though about:plugin says it's enabled. Any fix to make it work?

    Firefox extension: "TrueSuite 5.2.500.16" stopped working after last firefox update (30.0), even though about:plugin says it's enabled.
    i tried resetting firefox and look for similar problems, unfortunately didn't find anything.
    also there's weird blank space before address in address bar
    other extensions and addons seem to be running fine.

    jscher2000, i tried that, i thought it didnt work before, it's just that this time i accidentally closed (and thus restarted) firefox and it worked, thanks man

    any body an idea what i can do to fix it?

    hi - i think you should not use 'xhost +' - it's not secure and you shouldn't need it....
    in your .bashrc or .cshrc or whatever, you should have setenv DISPLAY .0 or the equivalent export...
    then ssh -Y hostname should be all you need... no xhost, and not setting DISPLAY every time...
    could you enter the following command from a terminal window and post back the results?
    grep X11 /etc/ssh*_config

  • Cannot access internet through itunes after last itunes update. Cannot get to itunes store or itunes help. Everything else works fine.

    After last itunes update I cannot get to the internet through itunes. Cannot get to itunes store, itunes help, etc. Also, now when I sync everything syncs properly but I get message at end that tells me that my phone cannot be backed up on the laptop.

    Something may be corrupt in your iTunes installation. The backup problem may or may not be related. The first step is reboot your system, disable your antivirus and firewall and try again. The next thing to try is completely removing iTunes and reinstalling: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.
    Also, if you used TinyUmbrella or Recboot as unauthorized apps to help with the update they corrupted your network settings on your computer. You will have to edit your hosts file and remove all references to Apple servers.

  • HT4623 Bad Iphone 4S Performance after last OSi update

    Last year my wife & I upgraded from 3GS' to 4S';  We have really been happy with the units, but after the last OSi update, the phone performance took a nose-dive and has not recovered.... I keep trying to update, thinking that a patch or something would appear, but it always says that we're up-to-date....
    Our service is through AT&T and I was given a "micro-cell" unit to install at the house, which boosted the signal up to the time of the update and now both phones drop calls in the kitchen about 20' from the room with the "micro-cell" in it.... I'm really disgusted with the poor performance.... I updated my wife's first and she noticed the change almost immediately; I updated my phone about 2 weeks later, and then my phone started performing poorly too; Does anyone know what I can do to at least get the old performance back????iOS 6.1.3 is what the phone says I have... and it tells me that I am up-to-date.

    Nope. I waited until next day when its battery ran out, I couldn't do much that day. Then, after recharging, I connected it to the Mac again. It didn't recognize my iPhone. iTunes could only reset and update it. But, when it was about 60-70% of the update, came Error 3194. I'm going to a technical assistance once again.
