I’m having sensitive mouse click behavior on my iMac. Click once on the top of a window and there it goes into the dock. Highlighting is a nightmare. Single click registers as double click. Go to delete one email and delete two. UGH!!

Having a nightmare since trying to update to 10.5.7. When my pwbk 2core restarted after the download a dialogue box told me it was correcting caches. Since then I cannot access the internet (settings are ok in network), mail crashes.I am wondering how to undo the update. any ideas ?

Disabled Sleep in System Pref/Energy Saver. Just using screen saver, shutting down occasionally. No more freezes, fan noise. Waiting for next update, hoping Apple addresses the issue.

yes, my beautiful new mbp does not allow paste to x11, very frustrating, and limiting. (terminal serves as a work around for my needs of this moment)

Okay, so i DEFINITELY have a big problem with the SLEEP MODE issue after updating to 10.5.7 – and i’m quite worried about what i read concerning the MOTU interface (but haven’t checked mine yet) //// so WHY does this page start by telling everyone to INSTALL the update first? and WHY does apple say NOTHING about these details on their own site? and HOW can i re-install OS 10.5.6 (which worked just fine, btw). sorry bout all the CAPs, but it’s really frustrating…

Same issue. I installed 10.5.7 and on the second sleep attempt it locks up. I have to reboot. Very annoying as I am constantly sleeping my computer as I travel around. Apple this needs to get fixed ASAP!

Well 7 days without my MacBook now. They had to put a new logic
board in it. Lucky I have Apple care. All thanks to Apple updates. I
think the Smu firmware update is what killed mine.

My Mac Pro started up very fast (tens of seconds) before I installed the 10.5.7 update. It now takes about four minutes after the update. Repairing disk permissions had no effect. It just sits there with the blue screen and I cannot hear the disk doing anything.

It seems to be fine once it has started up.

The sleep issue is happening to my business partner. I updated her Apple software via Apple Software Update in System Preferences and this sleep issue happened during the night. Her husband left the MacBook Pro plugged in with the lid closed, presumably sleeping, and went to bed while the MBPro charged all night. When they awoke in the morning the MBPro was extremely hot, almost like it could start on fire.

I cannot say which update caused the problem but I am guessing it is the 10.5.7 that everyone is mentioning.

I updated to 10.5.7 from 10.5.6 – first there was a problem with the automatic updates. Then when I rebooted after the installation, it was cycling through blueish screens, never getting to the login. After an hour of that, I rebooted, now it gets stuck with the “no smoking” sign after briefly showing the apple logo. Using the disk utilities, it shows all my data is still there, but I can’t boot into this “updated” mac. I’ll be taking it in as I just can’t deal with OS problems and infant twins at the same time. Thanks Apple.

Having a nightmare since trying to update to 10.5.7. When I tried to restart it after the download a dialogue box told me it was correcting caches before it could boot up. Six hours later nothing had happened to I unplugged the whole thing. Now it takes ages to boot up and keeps freezing. Is going back to the previous version the best idea? Or should I just wait for an Apple patch? I’m worried about losing stuff.
