I didn't see any threads on this but I just ran software update and updated Java for 10.6 update 1. Has anyone had any problems since the update? I rarely have problems in Mac OSX so I'm wondering if there's a connection between my problems and the update.
I'm sorry this is a bit murky but the problems are hit-and-miss, and not one single thing -- things like tapping-to-click isn't always working on certain items (in Safari at least), 4-finger scroll down removes my Dock momentarily on first try then reverts to normal behavior on the next try, and for a little while not all apps appeared when I shift between them with Cmd-Tab (sometimes only one app appears, although it seems to be intermittent), etc.
I have run Repair Permissions and I'm running 10.6.2 on a fairly new MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM. I checked Activity Monitor and Safari's using about 12% of the CPU and the Flash plugin is using 10%. I have about 10 Safari windows and multiple tabs in several of them (but I've been doing that for a while). Don't know if any of that helps, but I thought I'd throw it out there in case.
As I said, I have experienced many OSX problems. Would it be a good idea to re-install the 10.6.2 update from Apple.com or is there something else I should try first?
Thanks in advance!
