Problems after the last Apple Security Update with trackpad/mouse tapping/clicking

Dear All,
I do have a MacBook Pro 15 (early 2008), Mac OS X (10.6.8). The logic board was replaced a couple of years ago under Apple warranty (distorted video problem). I am planning to repalce it after the next apple update on the macbook pro line. Before someone asks, I am using Snow Leopard because I still have some programs that needs Rosetta. I did apply the last security update and after I did shutdown and restarted the computer last night, the trackpad/mouse (mighty mouse, usb mouse) is not working properly. I just cannot do the left click or tap on the trackpad. The mighty mouse works perfectly, except the clicking. The same for the trackpad (tapping). I manage to open a pdf file with some keyboard shortcuts. I can use the mouse/trackpad to scroll and zoom in/out the document. I can use the trackpad to rotate the document, etc. Pressing on the might Just can´t tap/clock on the document to select or open it.
I alread did the obvious thing: command-alt PR, start in safe mode, unplug the power/battery for a few minutes...
Did you have a similar problem with the last security update. Do you have any suggestions.
Thanks,
Carlos

I have resolved the issue! As I mentioned, I am using a Logitech cordless optical mouse. I connected up my Apple keyboard & mouse and disconnected the Logitech. The problem no longer occurred with the Apple mouse.
I removed the batteries from the Logitech mouse and disconnected the USB receiver. Restarted the computer, reconnected the Logitech setup, disconnected the Apple stuff, and now it is working.

Ever Since the Last Apple Security Update...

i loaded the last Apple Security Update on 06/02, and since then i have had OSX quit unexpectedly (twice) and have had FireFox quit as well. i have also had the cursor freeze and have had to force quit and restart my machine. My machine also seems to run a little hotter lately and i have not heard the fan come on for quit some time-- all of this since i downloaded the last update.
Has anyone else seen this in their machine? is this a sign of a coming apocalypse?
Anybody? Bueller?
Thanks for any helpful tips...

Nancy:
If you did not Repair Disk Permissions in Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility before and after installation, go ahead and do so now. Here's how:
While booted from your internal HDD
Go to (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left column and First Aid in main column.
Click Repair Disk Permissions at bottom left.
Next, try starting up in Safe Mode, log in, empty Trash, restart normally and log in. See if this helps before we take any other meansures.
Please post back with update or further questions/comments.
Good luck.

Has anyone else had optical sound output problems since the last Apple software update?

I have just read an article about this problem and it seems that there is an issue with the last software update from Apple which has caused problems with the optical sound driver.
My optical output stopped working a couple of weeks back which would probably coincide with the last update that was installed. Still have a red light at the end of the cable but no sound is transmitted.

here's a thread with a possible solution.

if clearing the system cache doesn't work, a factory reset should (just back up anything you don't want to lose).

Lighting cables and adapters are not working after the last iOS 7 update.

Looking for some help from Apple here. After the last iOS 7 update, some of my lightning cables and adapters have stopped working.
I have an iPhone 5 funning iOS 7.0.2.
I have a car charger/FM RF transmitter that has worked like a charm for years. Because none of these have been made with a lighting connector, I've had a genuine Apple adapter on it since I bought my iPhone 5 a year ago. Never had a problem until the last iOS update. Now when I plug it in, not connection is registered. I've verified the charger is working by removing the adapter and plugging the old iPhone connecting into an iPhone 4 running iOS 6. I've also verified the adapter is working by plugging the charger with adapter into an iPad mini running iOS 6.
I also have a Belkin USB car charger. This came with a black lighting cable. Also worked like a charm until the last update. Now, half the file when I plug it in, no conncetion is registered. The other half of the time, it says this cable is not supported but does not connect my phone or charge it. I've also verified that the cable is working by plugging it into an iPad mini running iOS 6.

I had the same bug. Powering off the phone and back on resolved the issue

Airport Extreme-won't connect after the latest Apple software update

My iBook will no longer connect to the wi-fi provider at our marina since the last two security updates to 10.3.
The iBook works just fine with all other wi-fi signals in fact pulls in one that's a half mile away! Yet, it will not connect nor show signal strength with this one wi-fi provider. They haven't changed their signal and it occured immediately after I installed the latest software updates.
When I shut down the computer today, for just a moment, a message flashed "should I grant permission to allow the marina wi-fi to connect". But it was gone before I could "click" on the button. Haven't been able to get that message again. I've tried to re-connect via "Other" and keying in the wi-fi system name and password but no luck.
How can I restore my connection to this wi-fi?
Thanks,

I had this issue last month after upgrading Quicktime and downloading a security upgrade. For some reason (which Apple couldn't derive), the upgrades for their products screwed up my Keychain, and the only way to fix it was to reset my Keychain. Like you, I run 10.3.9, and this happened with two different upgrades on both my iBook and my iMac.
The reset process is as follows:
Go to Keychain Access in Utilities
Access Keychain First Aid (under Window menu)
Choose Options
Choose "Reset Keychain"
What a pain...I've stopped downloading upgrades from Apple until this gets resolved. Of course, that's not a good "solution" either.

TS1277 In The last Apple Itunes update it deleted the file MSVCR80.DLL, how do I get it back, i have followed all the instructions to remedy this lost file to no avail.

In the last Apple Itunes update it deleted the file Msvcr80.dll, how do get it back so I can download Itunes again?

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

Good day!
This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by.
Also I can not reproduce the issue you claim to have with 14.2 on Mac OS 10.8.5.
What is your OS?

Each time my iMac reboots i am prompted to enter my FaceTime password. This just started occurring after the most recent security update.

Each time my iMac reboots I am prompted to enter my FaceTime password. This just started occurring after the most recent security update. When I put my password in the pop up just comes back, if I press cancle it goes away. Any ideas on how to get rid of this annoying popup?

I had the same problem. Try this. Launch FaceTime. Click the toggle to turn it off; or Command-K. Quit. Do a restart, you shouldn't get the popup. You could then turn FaceTime back on if you wish. Either way, the popup should be gone from then on.

I have this exact same issue!
I was on 2.0.1 running fine until late last week, noticed emails would not show up unless I had opened them in outlook. I thought I ran into a bug so I upgraded to 2.0.2. Now I can sync my email if outlook had them opened previously, but no calendar or contacts at all. I don't think my exchange admins will move me to another server, any other ideas?
I love my iphone but if these features don't work I can't use it. I would appreciate any ideas.

Why did AME stop working after the last Windows 7 update

AME suddenly stopped working after the last Windows 7 update. After the initial splash screen, I get a message saying that AME is not working and the program will be closed. Then I get the windows message that it is searching for a solution, then nothing. I am using the Production CS6. This happens whether I try to start AME directly, or queuing through Premiere Pro. I have tried reinstalling the entire package and have implemented all available updates from Adobe. I have no clue why this happened, but AME is crucial to my workflow.

Try to delete the following folders and then launch AME:
%AppData%\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder
%AppData%\Adobe\Common
Make sure to first make a backup of those folders.

Weird problem after the last upgrade(10.4.8)

Hello all,
I am using a 1.66mhz MacMini with intelcoreduo. After the last upgrade
2weeks ago. I begun to encounter weird behaviors(those does not happen
all the time, but happens..) from my mac. I'll try to list those
behaviors below:
- trash can sometime can not empty, I have to open the thrashbin and
delete manaually by selecting each file to delete
-finder failing to open a new window.
- when i take screenshot, it only appears when i try to find it over spotlight
- and worst of them all, recent files downloaded on my desktop disappearing sometimes and only way to reach them ise search on finder, when spotlight finds it, it appears back again).
These are all so weird kinda behaviors. I am curious if any of you
having the same problems, or rather these problems has been allready
pointed.
Kind Regards,
alper,

I've seen some of those before but on a G4 Tower, so far never on my Intel Mac Mini.
I've seen screenshots not appear on the desktop until much later or when a new file is brought or created on the desktop. Likewise, I've seen the same behaviour with some files I've downloaded (to a specific downloads folder).
I remember stuffit 9 or 10 had a bug similar to this where when you expanded a an archive it was "empty" until you moved a new file into the folder or made a new file/folder in it, then it would show you the files that were actually in the expanded archive.
Try repairing your permissions and booting from your Mac OS X install disc and running disk repair.

The last panther security update....

...appears to have screwed my starup disc preferences.
i have two boot drives in my quicksilver powermac, one for panther, one for tiger, both with the latest versions. until the last security update which i downloaded saturday, i could change the startup disc in the system preferences and things were happy. i've noticed that now when i change the startup disc to tiger, the computer restarts in panther. also, after days of diagnostics like repairing permissions, cocktail cleansing, restarting, the computer will not startup from the panther installation disc even though it sees it in the start up disc preferences; this results in a blue screen hang and i have to force quit.
I am not able to start in either panther or the installation disc using the option key upon a force restart as well or even from the start up disc preference in tiger.
hmmm, looks like i've lost a boot disc and operating system.

I have been having problems with various Macs for the past week. The latest problem occurred today when I installed SU 2006-003 on my G4 Dual 450.
Before installing I ran disk utility and repaired the permissions.
After installing the SU, I restarted the G4 as instructed.
The G4 turned on (no startup chime), the white screen with the apple and spinning gear appeared. Nothing happened after that. It ran for about an hour, still no change.
Since then, I have started the G4 in target mode and connected it via firewire to my G4 iBook. However, the G4 in target mode did not register as a drive on the desktop. A second hard drive that I have in the G4 did show up on the desktop of the G4 iBook, but when I double clicked to open it - all I got was the beachball of death.
I was able to manually open the CD/DVD drive and I tried to update the system software to 10.4 using a Tiger install disk. I was able to reboot holding down the C key and the install window came up fine. When I tried to upgrade, I found that I did not have enough room and I was not able to skinny up the customized install enough to fit the upgrade onto the available space (1.4 GB available).
So, I then tried to run disk utility from the 10.4 install disk. I ran repair disk and it found errors it could not fix.
I rebooted - same white screen with apple and spinning gear. I let it go for a long time - no change
I then inserted Tech Tool Pro CD in the CD/DVD drive and rebooted holding down the C key. I ran all the tests and it found some Volume errors and I had it repair them. During the repair it came up with some changes to the volumes that it indicated were strange, but since I really had no choice i told the software to apply the changes.
Tech Tool Pro also found some minor errors when it teste the Finder, I had it repair those as well
I rebooted - same white screen with apple and spinning gear. I let it go for a long time - no change
I next tried a "safe boot", but since the G4 doesn't have a chime at startup, I simply held dow the shift key from the moment I powered up the G4. Again I got the white screen, apple, spinning gear. However, after a while the screen went black and restarted up only to get to the same white screen, apple, and spinning gear again. That has been going on for a while.
At this point I am out of thoughts and I have gone bleary eyed reading all the comments in the various forums on the Apple Support site.
The biggest thing I want to accomplish at this point is to retrieve a handful of files that my two kids have on the G4 (papers and projects that are due very soon)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Mouse problems after 11/29/05 Security Update?

I installed the 11/29/2005 Security Update 2005-009 via Software Update. Right afterwards (even before the required reboot), I began having mouse oddities. The cursor disappears from the screen, or just stays there and doesn't move. Moving the mouse won't make the cursor move. I must click the mouse before the cursor "wakes up" and responds to the mouse. It's fine after that.
I'm using a Logitech cordless optical mouse. Batteries are fresh and this only begain right after installing the Security Update. Anyone else experiencing this?
[ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; added update ID 2005-009 ]

I have resolved the issue! As I mentioned, I am using a Logitech cordless optical mouse. I connected up my Apple keyboard & mouse and disconnected the Logitech. The problem no longer occurred with the Apple mouse.
