Applications not responding apparently after Security Update 2007-009

Mail, iTunes, Skype, MSN Messenger, MainMenu, Emule, Safari and god know what else aren't responding after Security Update 2007-009.
Hi,
I recently purchased a new phone that does not work with macs, so I bought an application from Feisar to make it work. The application isn't freeware, so I think it is very unlikely that it bogused my system. Anyway, I installed the software, but only afterwards noticed it didn't work for my phone model with the USb interface, only through bluetooth, which I don't have. Moreover, and, in my opinion, more importantly, I also downloaded and installed security update 2007-009. After the update, I mandatorily restarted OS X and instantly noticed Mail, iTunes, Safari, Skype and Messenger not working. I click on them on the dock, they bounce (usually once, but it has occured to be more) and nothing happens. I don't get the little arrow below the icon. I see the applications in the applications folder, so they are not missing. I searched and searched on the internet and, apparently it is, to say the least, herculeanly complicated to downgrade from a software update. I tried to repair permissions and it didn't work. I tried the apple hardware test and everything came out perfect. I restarted many times and the same keeps happening.
So I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
This is the error message I get:
Command: Installer
Path: /Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/Installer

I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack (which reapetedly said that I had a "fan failure!"), I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing.
The most likely line to follow here is the "fan failure" message in apple jack. I looked inside my g5 and all fans except for the one close to the Hard Drives aren't spining. I'm not sure this means they aren't functional or whether the temperature isn't high enough for it to be turned on. Temperature must be around 26-28 degrees Celsius today. There is nothing on the internet about that fan failure that's close enough to my case.
I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

Maybe it is a security update thing! I have had similar troubles with my CS2 and other simple apps like TextEdit not opening, just doing that single bounce... I have tried EVERYTHING and now, after reinstalling my entire system, have lost access to my own user profile.
I'm assuming you have tried starting up with your original system install disk in the computer, while you turn it on, hold the option key, it will allow you to run another hardware check, as well as to do an archive install if it comes down to that.
good luck, please let me know if you find out something else that might be causing the problems... i've noticed that alot of mac threads have similar probs listed.

  • No MS Office apps after Security Update 2007-009 1.1 (10.4.11 Universal)

    On launch all MS Office apps do a "optimizing font menu performance..." at which point they start displaying error messages that "The font [e.g. Adobe Caslon Pro Bold Italic] is corrupt and should be removed. OK". You get an error message font by font for pretty much all the fonts on the Mac.
    I haven't taken the time to let it go through the entire list of fonts to see what happens, as it's quicker to launch Word, etc. on a PC and get back to work.

    Hi Andrew,
    Office will return all kinds of error messages for fonts that aren't really damaged when cache files are corrupt.
    Close all running applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
    ~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
    ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
    Next, go to the /Library/Caches/ folder and delete the subfolder:
    com.apple.ATS
    Always immediately restart your Mac after removing cache files.

  • Security Update 2007-009 will not install

    I ran the Software Update utility and found Security Update 2007-009. When I tried to install it, it gave me the following error message:

  • Cannot install Security Update 2007-009  "could not verify contents ..."

    My system:
    Mac Pro dual Quad-Core 3Ghz 7GB Ram
    Boot ROM Version: MP21.007F.B06
    SMC Version: 1.15f3
    When running software update, I get this notice:
    The update "Security Update 2007-009" can't be installed.
    The Installer could not validate the contents of the "SecUpd2007-009" package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    I have no phone support for this mac, so "contacting software manufacturer" leave me few options. Google search returns nothing, search on this forum returns nothing, so hopefully my issue reaches someone who can advise me on how to solve this problem. Reinstalling the system software, IMO, is not a resolution.
    Thanks for your time

    Welcome to Discussions!
    I would suggest downloading the Security Update file separately and try installing it that way. You can get the Leopard-compatible version HERE. Once installed, Software Update will stop trying to install it and generating the error message.

  • OS X cannot verify Security Update 2007-009, refuses to install

    I keep trying to install the latest Security Update. It tells me to restart, so I do. The computer restarts and it begins to install, then I get a message that reads:
    "The update 'Security Update 2007-009' can't be installed. The installer could not validate the contents of the SecUpt2007-009 package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
    This has happened about 5 times now. Any ideas?

    +The computer restarts and it begins to install+
    The restart happens after the install is complete, not before ... it sounds like you might have a corrupt disc image so I'd just download a fresh copy from here (link below) then mount the .dmg file, then double-click on the installer package.

  • Security Update 2007-009 - Now no sound??

    I just installed the freshly released Security Update 2007-009 through software update. I now have no sound at all.
    System Preferences informs me that I have no Ouput or Input devices attached. System Profiler, however, tells me I do. I hear the chimes upon startup - so I know this isn't a hardware issue.
    Anyone else?? I'm NOT happy!

  • Security Update 2007-009 breaks Rosetta?

    I installed Security Update 2007-009 (10.5.1) two days ago.
    Since then not a single PPC application works.
    I get:
    Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000024.
    This means that I can no longer use Office 2004 for Mac.
    I am assuming that the security update breaks Rosetta since I noticed that only PPC applications are fubar.
    Anyone with similar experience?

    sorry but you obviously have another problem - just read your post and tried several Rosetta Apps including :
    MsOffice Vx
    and Corel photopaint 11 (which I deliberately chose because it has always been a touch wobbly)
    Both run fine - and my machine is fully patched. So perhaps the post title could be slightly misleading - maybe it should have a question mark because in my experience it isn't a fact. It's a theory which actually turns out to have been incorrect.
    One thing I do know is that rosetta is VERY memory intensive. Mine was always a bit wobbly until I put extra memory in the machine but since Leopard it has actually been a lot lot better than it was with Tiger - which is great.

  • Mail 2.0.5 CRASHES ON OPEN after Security Update 2005-009(Tiger Client)

    I'm trying to figure out how to fix this.
    I rebooted into a techtool pro e-drive and repaired permissions (as well as some other repairs to the drive, etc), but it still is crashing.
    I created a new user and opened mail just fine there.
    So... it is something in my account. Not sure exactly what to do next?

    I'm having the same exact problem. (See Mail 2.0.5 crashes when I get new mail). I deleted my preferences & my junk mail settings, to no avail.
    A remarkable number of other people are posting with similar problems, just in the past week or so alone, and as far as I can tell, no one has figured it out. There is definitely a bug here. I have a hunch that it may be related to a recent software update. I'm going to post this to the other threads in hopes of garnering some attention from Apple.
    For posterity's sake, I am connecting to a Gmail account, a POP account, and a .Mac account.

  • Can't Install Security Update 2007-009 With Software Update

    I tried to install Security Update 2007-009 on a 10.5.1 G4 system, but the installation fails with an "unknown error". Here are the details:
    1) Software Update downloads the file and ask to Restart
    2) Get to the blue screen
    3) See these messages "Preparing target volume" and "Configuring installation"
    4) Get this error message:
    The update "Security Update 2007-009" can't be installed.
    The installer encountered an unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
    5) Restart
    I then deleted the "Security Update 2007-009" folder from Library->Updates and tried the update again, but got the same error.
    Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    I installed Security Update 2007-009 via Software Update and received the following error:
    "Security Update 2007-009 can't be installed. The installer could not validate the contents of the SecUpd2007-009 package."
    I ran Disk Utility (twice) to ensure that the permissions were in order and received the following report on both occasions:

    Permissions repair complete
    Regarless, I downloaded the update directly from Apple Support located here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate2007009111051.html
    And 2007-009 installation complete without a hitch. I have no idea what is going on with the permissions (any recommendations) but I have not found any other problems since this update was installed.
    I hope this helps.

  • Security Update 2007-009"

    When I download the Security Update 2007-009 I get the message "Security Update 2007-009 can't be saved. You do not have appropriate access privileges. The installer package has been moved to the trash."
    This is puzzling because I am the administrator of the computer. Does anyone know how to approach fixing this?

    Now I'm worried. Neither Verify nor Repair disk permissions works. When run, the progress bar says "less than 1 minute remaining" but makes no progress.

  • Security update 2007-009, address book and palm

    Since the security update 2007-009 for Leopard all my address have disappeared from my palm. They are still in address book but no longer sync to the palm (nor do they appear in Palm Desktop). I suspect the update has broken the conduit.
    Paul Mackey

    However, as I understand it it is not Palm Desktop that is the problem ( I don't use it just opened it for the first time in about 3 years to see if the data loss was consistent) but the address book conduit which comes from Apple. Was going to use Missing sync (actually looked at doing so last week) but I seem to recall it has yet to be updated for Leopard. Correct?

  • Prey game not launching after Security Update 2007-004

    After applying Apple Security Update 2007-004, Prey (Mac version) is not launching and continuously crashes on my computer. I have uninstalled all game files and reinstalled the game from the original DVD but with no success. Repairing disc permissions, updating prebindings and other usual maintainence meaures are unfortunately not helping. I have an external USB hard disc running Mac OS 10.4.9 without the Security Update applied and Prey works properly when my computer boots up from this external hard drive. It is therefore apparent that Apple Security Update 2007-004 has most probably caused Prey to become non-functional as prior to this the game was working without any problems whatsoever.
    Has anyone else expereinced this problem and are there any suggestions?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Contact the game author's site and report it so they can update it.

  • Mail (and Safari) won't open after Security Update 2007-004

    I have a PowerBook G4 running 10.3.9. The machine was running fine (I was checking mail, browsing the web) when my weekly scheduled update opened. Per it's suggestion, I installed Security Update 2007-004.
    Upon restart, both Mail and Safari will NOT open. The icon for each on the dock simply "bounces" once when clicked then nothing else. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Any thoughts on a fix?

    Installing a system update while you continue using the computer as if nothing was going on there is a really bad idea.
    Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Security Update, which may not have been installed properly. It may also be necessary to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
    Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
    Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
    Troubleshooting installation and software updates
    Installing software updates
    Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.

  • Mail and Safari crashes after Security Update 2007-006 and update 10.4.10

    I just installed Security Update 2007-006 (Universal) and Mac OS X Update (Intel) 10.4.10 and now neither Mail nor Safari (nor sometimes Microsoft Messanger) will start. They just crash immediately after starting. Safari started working for a short while, but now, again, it won't start either, and Mail has not opened once since installing these two updates without immediately crashing. Does anyone have any idea why that might be so or how I can fix it?

    Hi Barry,
    Thank you very much for your quick answer. I never installed Safari 3 beta. I ran the repair disk and repair permissions from my install DVD, and did it did find and fix errors. I also deleted com.apple.safari.plist as suggested, but neither Safari nor Mail will open yet without crashing immediately (I've also rebooted since doing so). Additionally, I found a suggestion on another website to try installing "Mac OSX Update Combo 10.4.10"--Software Update installed the non-combo version, whatever that means, but the Combo installer app also crashes when I try to start it. Do you have any other suggestions? What other information can I give that could help? These problems only occurred after my reboot this morning after installing the OSX and security updates. Anyway, thanks for your help.
