AFP Connection Problems after Server Security Update 2009-006

After installing the Security Update 2009-006 on the Server, we have Problems to mount Shares from two differnt AFP-Servers on the Client.
The Client and the Server have a binding to AD.
The Client can connect to Server1 via AFP.
But after this, the connection to Server2 shows the Volumen List from Server1!
Same Problem when the first Connection mounts Server2 and then Server1.
I tried the second connect with DNS-Name and IP-Adress.
There is no Problem when i am useing SMB.
Have anyone a Idea or the same Problem?
Thanks
Sven

Ical server disclaims after security update 2009-006 (Server)

after i update the leopardserver 10.5.8 to the actual security update 2009-006 (Server), the ical server was not available anymore. the ical client say something like "host disclaims access".

Multiple Errors - G5 Quad/Mac OSX 10.5.8 - After Security Update 2009-006

I'm using a PPC G5 Quad, and after I installed Security Update 2009-006, I began having problems even being able to open project files Final Cut Pro 6. So I had to force quit FCP6, but even that wouldn't close the application.
I figured the issue was probably just with the application, so I manually powered down the computer and only wound up getting two blank blue screens on my monitors when I powered back up.
Powered down again, disconnected power cord for 2 minutes, then powered back up.
Attempted to open FCP6, didn't work, wouldn't quit using "Force Quit."
Opened Motion 3 to create a new project outside of FCP6 - when I selected "Save Project As" the application became unresponsive. Would not quit even when I selected "Force Quit."
To test if there was an issue with other applications besides Final Cut Studio 2, I opened Pages and tried selecting "File->Open." This made the application unresponsive, and would not quit with "Force Quit."
I repeated this test with:
QuickTime Player
Adobe Photoshop CS
Preview
Microsoft Word
Safari
ALL of these applications became unresponsive when I tried using the command "File->Open"
I then decided to try installing Security Update 2009-005 to see if that would help.
Because Safari was locked, I downloaded Security Update 2009-005 using Firefox, then re-downloaded Security Update 2009-006.
After downloading both security updates, I manually powered down the computer, disconnected the power cord for 2 minutes, then re-powered on the computer.
I immediately installed Security Update 2009-005 and restarted the computer.
Once it restarted, I opened up Pages and was successfully able to use the command "File->Open" to open both templates and previously created files.
I then opened FCP6 with no issues, and successfully opened and re-saved an existing project file.
I then re-installed Security Update 2009-006, and re-started the computer according to its prompts.
At first, it appeared that the issues were resolved. I opened Pages and was able to use the command "File->Open" to open an existing template.
I then quit Pages and attempted to open a new Finder window. Immediately I got a spinning rainbow ball and got the message on my screen "System Failure" etc etc, and the last line read something about "Panic" or "System Panic - we're holding here..." or something to that effect. Quite strange.
I'm now in the process of attempting to repair disk permissions using Disk Utility. The permissions that seem to be out of order are with:
private/var/log/secure.log (what and where is this???)
System/Library/CoreServices/Airport Base Station Agent.app/Contents/CodeResources"
various Airport Utilities
Various FrontRow
Various backrow
Several places I don't recognize such as usr/bin and usr/sbin
And internet plugins related to FlashPlayer

How full is the hard drive?

Security Update 2009-006 crashed my Macbook 13" (Intel Core Duo)

Hi all,
After accepted the automatic updates proposed by the OS, I was soon invited to restart the machine.
No files were downloaded (Security Update 2009-006, Itunes and Safari updates as well)
After rebooting the macbook, a grey screen with the apple logo and the turning wheel is showing for 1 to 2 minutes..... and this is repeated forever between the classic chime start up.
I repaired permissions from my DVD OS X Leopard and nothing happens.
Could you pls help to solve this problem ?
Regards to all there,
Daniel - Patagonia Argentina

HI Daniel,
*"I repaired permissions from my DVD OS X Leopard and nothing happens."*
Not the same as making sure the startup disk is ok.
Boot from your install disk and check the startup disk for errors.
Insert Installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu 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
While you have the Disk Utility window open, look at the bottom of the window. Where you see Capacity and Available. *Make sure there is always 10% to 15% free disk space*
If you cannot boot from your install disk, try booting in Safe Mode
What is Safe Mode
Update your system software to 10.5.8 using the Combo update available here.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058comboupdate .html
After updating to 10.5.8, run Sofware Update.
As with any software update(s), repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Will there be a Security Update 2009-006 for Tiger PPC

Apple released Security Update 2009-006 for Leopard today, but not for Tiger.
Is there going to be any more support and updates for Tiger, since Snow Leopard came out?
Thanks

Hahahahah, yeah....
Actually, I just tried to reply to your message using Safari 4.0.4 and repeatedly got this error:
Request Timeout
The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.
Reference #2.4da21160.1258046993.0
It did that with another page too, but is loading others fine. I am wondering if there is an issue. I may have to downgrade to 3 again, if that is possible.
I got used to using Firefox because I just upgraded from OS X 10.3.9 and had to use Safari 2.x, which doesn't work so well with the web anymore.

IMac G5 won't completely start up after failed Security Update 2009-004

The problem:
Last night I attempted to run the latest Security Update (2009-004) on my 2nd Gen iMac G5. The update did not reach completion and I received an error message saying it had been moved to the trash. I attempted to empty the trash and start again. At that point, the trash would not empty, the computer would not shut down, and finder would not relaunch. I had to use the power button to shut it down--have not been able to complete the start up again since. The computer begins to start up, i.e., a bong, and the Apple logo, and spinning wheel (which goes on forever and never progresses to startup login screen).
What I've already done:
-Successfully started up from the install disk
-Run Disk Utility to repair disk and disk permissions; everything checks out okay
-Run Apple Hardware Test; everything checks out okay
-reset PRAM
-unplugged/replugged computer to reset SMU
-backed up some files via Firewire/Target disk mode
My questions:
What is the best, easiest, most logical thing to do next?
Should I reinstall system software from G5 install disk?
What happens when you reinstalll from a disk that has an older version of OS? and how do you get the software back up to date afterward?
Thanks!

I had the same problem though my mac was ok for a couple of days after the update. Tried to boot from original install disk (Tiger, though recently upgraded to Leopard), it didn't boot and disk got stuck. I took my Mac (G5 iMac circa 2005) to a specialist who ran disk warrior - HD ok, he did a few other tests and concluded it was a logic board prblem and uneconomical to repair. On this advice I have purchased (at considerable expense) a new iMac. If this has been a problem with the update that can be fixed I am 1) furious with apple that they have released an update that causes near fatal problems & 2) would like to know if there is any way I can make a claim against anyone (Apple?) for purchasing a new mac that I can ill afford due to the destructive nature of an update.
A friend phoned me earlier with the same Mac problem and I didn't connect my problems to the update but now I've done a search for it, I realise it is a widespread problem. Has apple made any statement about it?

Printing problems after installing Security Update 2015-002

After installing Security Update 2015-002 on three separate computers on two different WiFi networks, printers on the network are losing their connections to the computers that can print to them. We have experienced this on a network running a Canon printer and an HP printer - both have disappeared on the network although the printer suggests it is still connected to the network. The same thing has happened on a separate network I manage with a single HP printer on that network. I have tried removing the printers, resetting the printers etc. Nothing is working. I can get one print out of a printer when I turn the printer off and then on. Three minutes later the printer is no longer connected to the computer - although still connected to the network. Please Help.

I think I have figured out that it is in fact the Apple Extreme Base Station that is losing the printer. It is very odd because the printer is connected to the Wifi. My computer is connected to the WiFi and connecting to the internet. The Router for the internet can see the printer. An Apple Extreme is then connected via a network cable in Bridge mode to the router. When I turned the power off the The Apple Extreme and then restored power it all worked. was still working this morning, but again this afternoon I needed to reboot Apple Extreme. It is quite strange that this is happening on two different Networks in different parts of the country at the same time. Maybe the Security Update is somehow affecting/blocking communication with the printer? I just don't know enough. These networks have been up and running with the same printers and computers for years with zero problems - all of a sudden we have the same problem on both Networks.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

After installing Security Update 2010-006...

Hey guys,

You might try resetting your connection settings using the steps listed in this message:

They're not guaranteed to solve the problem, but they'll only take a minute or so to try.
If those don't help, I'm not sure I have any other advice.

Something happened after install security update 2008-006(PPC)

Hi there,
I have just installed the security update 2008-006(ppc) for my old powerbook, G4 1.5Mhz. Now every time when i go to network in the system preferences, i immediately got this message "Your network setting have been changed by another application" No matter how many "OK" i clicked, this message will kept appeared. I tried to restart my powerbook, but the powerbook responded that the system preferences have cancelled the restart. Can only force quit the system preferences. I can still connect to the network, just that if i go to any new places with new network setting, i will not be able to change the network setup in my powerbook.
Before i install the upgrade patch, this never happened, so i am assuming it was because of the patch. Can anyone help me? thanks.

This seems to work also...

Major problems after latest security update

I did a security update a few daus ago updating my G5.
When started it acts normal when <I log in (using file wault) but when the desktop appears it takes forever. Ati first the harddrives appear on the desktop (after maybe 30 minutes). Then the top menu after a lot longer and then finally documents I have on the desktop. When i diagnose with diskwarrior it crashes. I can open the folders on the hard drive but not the program folder, when trying to open that the computer just starts thinking. Programs and internet connection works but as soon as I try to do anything related to the system the spinning rainbow spinning thing starts and never stops.
I am desoerate for a sollution, any hints on what I can do?

Hi Jason,
tried safe mode yesterday (before reading this post) and the computer acts the same, I also did another security update last night since I saw that one more recent than the one I did previously, so I updated java and security and now the problem is worse.
The computer starts up with the gray screen with the apple and when it is supposed to move on it shuts down again
It is correct that I use file vault, the reason for this is that we had some problems with burglars at my previous job and I have some sensitive data on the computer. I just moved the computer to my home a few weeks ago so if I will only get it started I will disable it. The problem is with moving I can't find my system DVD so I can't start from it.
Is it possible to burn a disk with operating system from my Powerbook 17" G4 or is that not an option? If possible what should I burn to be able to boot?

AirPort problem after installing Security Update 2007-007

Help! I installed the security update 2007-007 on my Mac mini os x and now my AirPort is not detecting any signal. Should I backup the system and then reboot? I'm not really sure what to do. I have tried almost everything I can imagine. I checked through the user logs and all was functioning properly until the update installed. All of the settings for the network and internet connect say that they have failed.
Please help! I am not particularly familiar about backing up -- how do I do this? (please spell out for me, I'm really new to mac!)
Thanks in advance

Can't help with the airport problem, since I don't do wireless. As for backing up, these should get you pointed in the right direction:

Problems after installing Security Update 2008-02

I have a PPC G4 (1.65GHz/512 MB RAM), patched to 10.4.11. Before running the 2008-02 patch yesterday, I cloned my system to an external drive, ran Onyx (run all maintenance scripts/delete caches/repair permissions). I also uninstalled Miro 1.1 (intending to do a clean install of 1.2) and uninstalled Flash (intending a reinstall). I turned off ClamXAV/Clam Sentry. Updated using Software Update. Process seemed to go smoothly. After it completed, I shut the system down, waited a few minutes, then powered back up. System seemed fine.
Doubleclicking on the flash install dmg gave me the following error:
The following disk images failed to mount
Reason: No child processes.
I got the same message trying to install Miro.
Thinking the images were corrupted. I re-downloaded them on a PC, tranferring them via flash drive. Same error. Thinking perhaps the flash drive was corrupted, I tried again with a different flash drive. Same error.
I downloaded the standalone file, thinking to rerun it. Same error.
Logged in via safe mode. Same error.
Reran onyx. Shut down. Same error.
Trying logging in under a different admin profile. It did not recognize the password. I logged back in under my normal admin profile; reset the password on the backup admin profile. Still unable to log in. Back again and created a new backup admin profile. Tried running the Miro dmg under that; same error.
Can the security update be uninstalled? That or any other suggestions greatly appreciated.
TIA,
shn

Sorry for the delay in replying -- I had put the install disks in a safe place -- so safe that it took me a while to find them <g>.
Booted off the install disks and ran repair permissions (there were a few, most involving changes from read-only to execute). Verified the disk. Rebooted.
Problem not solved.
Shut down. Did a few chores <g>.
On restart, I got a message that the system had encountered a problem & I needed to shut down. Powered down. Waited a couple of minutes before powering up (successfully). Thinking that, given the permissions repair, I should rerun the the update manually, I tried rerunning the patch. Same error message.
Shut down & waited a couple of minutes before rebooting into safe mode in backup admin profile. tried rerunning the security patch manually. Same error message.
Further suggestions would be most gratefully accepted...
