Could Security Update 2011-005 have caused WiFi slowdown?

I created this post earlier today:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16156444#16156444
I just realized that both computers have installed Security Update 2011-005 just recently (right before this problem started).
Could that have caused the problem?

Could that have caused the problem?
Very unlikely. Millions of users have updated their Macs. The forum would be flooded with posts about this if there were an issue.
Did you completely power cycle your entire network after the update?

  • Finder restart every two seconds! After install security update 2011-005

    After install security update 2011-005, I rebot my computer and every seemed normal, until I saw that started to restart the finder.
    Help me! please.
    PD: I try to delete the famous "com.apple.finder.plist" but I can't found them.

    You may be able to repair this with 10.4.8 PPC Combo Update
    This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

  • After Security update 2011-005 I my second monitor is black.

    Hi Folks,
    After security update 2011-005, I colud not get my second display working. I tried safe boot, didn't help, tried different resolutions didn't help. Reboot did not help either.

  • After security update 2011-005, iMac fails to shutdown

    Hi All,
    I just upgraded my work computer running OS X 10.6.8 to latest security patch (2011-005), and after that my iMac can't shutdown anymore.
    The process that is hanging is Apache Tomcat 6. Exactly org.apache.catalina.stratup.Bootstrap
    We looked into System diagnostics and there is nothing there!
    It looks to me that it has to do with permissions and dependencies, but I have no clue where to look!
    PLEASE HELP!!!
    Many thanks,
    Sava

  • Security update 2011-011 caused problems for Wacom tablet

    I have Wacom Bamboo Fun (model CTE-650) tablet, which have since worked well after every passed "security updates". However, after I installed new Security update 2011-011, it started to act weird. I can move pen pointer on screen, but cannot select anything and can't move windows etc..
    I checked the disk, verified and repair permissions, and also tried to install most recent Wacom tablet driver but nothing have helped so far. Does anyone experienced this? Any solutions..?

    I too have problem with my Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet (in this case the CTE-450). It acts as normal mouse, it does not map to the screen coordinates, only to up. down, left right movement.
    When I open the Tablet preference pane, it tells me it does not detect any tablet. I restarted, and nothing. I reinstalled the latest driver (Driver 5.2.4-4(RC) for OS X 10.6, 10.5 & 10.4 (PPC & Intel) from 15 Feb 2011) and still does not work.
    Apple... is it you who invalidated my valuable piece of hardware?

  • Security Update 2010-005 Squirrelmail 1.4.20 timezones.cfg

    Was an update to Squirrelmail 1.4.20 included in the Security Update 2010-005?
    Is is just me or is everyone missing /usr/share/squirrelmail/include/timezones.cfg after this update?
    This causes an error when trying to access the Options > Personal Information.

    I manually updated to 1.4.20
    So *Security Update 2010-005* didn't contain an update to SquirrelMail but managed to break my install of SquirrelMail 1.4.20?
    I always use a sym-link so that automatic updates don't break my manual updates. But there must have been a script in the Security Update that erased the timezones.cfg file. Even if there was a SquirrelMail update included, why would it erase the timezones.cfg file?

  • Security Update 2010-005 won't install.

    I have an iMac4,1 with 2gig of RAM and OSX 10.6.5 and when I try to install Security Update 2005-005 I get a message that my volume does not meet requirements for this update. I know my OS is up to date. Could it be that my hardware is too dated? Do I need a newer model?

    Was trying to install Facetime which asks for Security Update 2010-005.
    Welcome to Discussions, BWS3RD
    The Security Update 2010-005 message is common for users who try to install FaceTime on a Leopard (10.5.x) Mac. The Mac FaceTime beta will not run in Leopard.
    Your posted system info shows that you use Mac OS X (10.6.5), but perhaps you are trying to install FaceTime on a Mac that does not meet FaceTime system requirements?
    The FaceTime product page http://www.apple.com/mac/facetime/ shows system requirements:
      "*Requires Mac OS X v10.6.4 Snow Leopard or later.*"
    I always suggest using the latest Snow Leopard version.
    If your posted Mac OS X (10.6.5) is correct, use the following method to apply the 10.6.5 Combo before attempting another FaceTime reinstall:
      • Backup your Mac and turn off Time Machine
      • Disconnect peripherals and restart Mac
      • Use Disk Utility to repair permissions
      • Download and install http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1324
      • Repair permissions again immediately following the restart that finishes the update.
      • Download and install a fresh copy of FaceTime
     (• Turn Time Machine on again when you are satisfied that everything works.)

  • Security update 2007-005 and airport connection

    Please help. I downloaded the security update 2007 005 on my powerbook G4 Friday night. Now I cannot get on my airport. It says there was an error joining the airport network (name of my airport) It gives me 2 options try again
    or ok. i have tried everything. I even tried pinging my pc that I am on now to email this to see if I could connect with anything.But the powerbook fails to send any ping. I have rebooted, both the airport and the powerbook--several times. I have looked for information
    everywhere about this both in Mac Help on my computer and online and have turned up nothing that can fix this unless I want to reinstall the operating system.
    My only conclusion is that the security update did this. I was online (of course) as I downloaded the update and ever since I can not get online with the airport. Thank heavens I have a PC to get email or maybe get help through a forum like this. I have been trying to fix this all weekend. In system preferences /network status it says airport is turned on but not connected to a network when there is one. Any advice?
    powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I have a same problem, everything worked fine until I've downloaded security update. My Airport doesn't allow me to connect to my PASSWORD protected network. My PC is working fine. The only way is to be connected to open source. Called Mac support and they blame router (it is not mac's router). Their suggestion is to reinstall whole system (and lose software I payed for) or buy new router (macs????). So I am stuck. The advice by apple support was NOT to download updates!!!!Why on Earth do they have them????

  • Security Update 2010-005

    I noticed that I updated to the new Security Update 2010-006 BEFORE updating the prior one sent
    which is "2010-005" ( 005 versus 006 ), should I still go ahead and update the previous or is it
    pointless to do so. I worry about causing problems or if I need to go back somehow and redo both in order. Can someone please let me know! Thanks

    Strange I just noticed on the Downloads page http://support.apple.com/en_US/downloads
    that it shows
    *"Security Update 2010-006 (Snow Leopard)"*
    *"Security Update 2010-005 is recommended for all users and improves the security of Mac OS X."*
    But when you click on that link the 005 doesn't show up I guess it's an typo error but this is what
    makes things confusing when trying to update as I didn't notice it before but then noticed it tonight.
    I actually don't even see it in the downloads page anymore I have to actually click on the link from the Software Updater menu only. All I see is *Snow Leopard (Client) Security Update 2010-005*
    the "client" has me boggled are there 3 different Snow leopards (Server, Client, Server-Client)?
    This is cumbersome. I wonder if updating is even really necessary as each update takes more space, perhaps it's their way of making your computer slow so that your forced to keep buying more stuff from them etc.

  • Security Update 2008-005 for Leopard

    Pushed the Security Update 2008-005 packages for 10.4.11 PPC/Intel, and 10.5.4 Leopard systems via ARD 3.2 to appropriate clients. The PPC and Intel pushes went as expected. At the end of the Leopard push caused about 10 systems to black their screen -- the mouse pointer moved and was the only thing visible. These systems had a user currently logged in. The Leopard systems with no user logged in updated and restarted. Had to visit each system and manually restart. The question is: do Leopard updates need to be handled differently than Tiger? Should Install NOT do a restart at the end of the push and then manually restart these systems? I wish Apple would test their security updates to work with ARD a little bit better. If the problem is with ARD, then we need a fixed version.

    Hi Bob,
    I've been looking for work the last 2 months so I can't attest to the SU2008-005 but, can feel your pain.
    Leopard updates do act differently as I'm sure you've noticed. Some log you out while others don't. Most any update can get a little weird if an application is running and decides to hog resources, screensaver starts, even a login or logout occurs. That is why I made it a practice when scheduling updates to push, to Restart the system, then 10 minutes later send the updates out. Of course I would have this happen late evenings when I know nobody would disturb the systems and that I'd be in before most of the system's users would arrive the next day. That way you can check the status of the systems and give them a little extra attention if needed. That is a much rarer occurrence with fresh started systems.

  • Security Update 2007-005 (powerpc) Problems

    I installed the Security Update 2007-005 (PowerPC) on May 31 on my MacBook Pro. I can't be certain, but I think since I installed it I have a spinning ball and can't do much of anything. Like something is bogging it down. It will eventually stop but will start again the minute I do anything... something is just not right. I have tried all troubleshooting techniques but found it is not possible to even try them.
    Safe Boot... It automatically decides to shut down before it gets to the safe boot screen.
    Disk Utility... Restarting off the disk, yes, but when I run the program I get "could not unmount disk"
    Trying to run fsck -y, in single user mode (command s)... I get "Volume is journaled. No checking performed. Use the -f option to force checking.
    I have no idea what to do next. I guess I will try to reinstall my system off my disks. Does anyone have any ideas... please help this is taking up so much time.

    How did you install the Security Update? Did you use Software Update or did you download? Because if you downloaded the PowerPC version, well, you say you have a MacBook Pro which is an Intel machine, not a PowerPC. Software Update would automatically install the correct version for your machine.
    If it dies on Safe Boot my guess is when it runs the Disk Repair function it is encountering problems it can't fix and so it quits.
    To run fsck on a journaled volume you need to use this command:
    fsck -yf
    which forces the file system check. At least this will tell you if it is possible to repair the disk. You might need something stronger, such as Disk Warrior.

  • Security Update 2014-005 1.0 is trying to install a second time

    Security Update 2014-005 1.0 has already been installed and is part of the "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" Above that there is "1 Update Available" but it is the same one I have already installed. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to it at first and tried to finish installing it by hitting the RESTART button..... the iMac tried to restart but stayed doing the spinning circle of death.... I waited for 30mins and nothing happened. I ended up unplugging the power a restarted the iMac and it appears to be running fine. However, 1 available update remains and continues prompting to install. How can I clear this update???

    Then the problem is on your computer or you are running Yosemite. If it's the former then start with:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

  • Unable to Reboot After Latest Apple Updates (SA-2011-06-23-1 and Security Update 2011-004)

    Hi All,
    After applying today's updates (06/23/2011) in APPLE-SA-2011-06-23-1 Mac OS X v10.6.8 and Security Update 2011-004, my MacBook will no longer boot. Prior to updating, the MacBook workked perfectly (except for the occasional error entry in the system and kernel log). The MackBook model number is A1278, with a RAM upgrade (4 GB).
    When booting in NORMAL mode, the grey screen with Apple logo (and spinning wheel) is shown for about 50 seconds. The device never shows the blue background or login window. It simply shuts down like the power was pulled.
    When booting in SAFE mode, the grey screen with Apple logo (and spinning wheel) is shown for about 1 minute 30 seconds. The blue background is shown and quickly transitions to the login windows. About 45 seconds after the login window is shown, the machine shuts down like the power was pulled.
    On the few occassions I logged in to take advantage of the 45 second safe mode window (before shutdown), I was *not* able to copy off my log files (in /log/var) to a thumb drive because the computer would not mount the USB device.
    When I peeked at the system's log file, I caught the tail end of "signature validation failed" for a bunch of hardware - from video to audio. I can only peek because the computer will shutdown before I have an opportunity to study anything in detail. The failed verifications may or may not be related to the shutdown - signature verfication might be disabled in safe mode; I simply don't know.
    It seems the world's most advanced operating system [tm] is performing the world's most epic failure. Any ideas to get this brick working again would be greatly appreciated.

    Here's what I've found:
    (1) I cannot run Disk Utility because I don't have my install disk handy
    (2) I cannot run Repair Permissions because Apple does not make a separate ISO available to fix their mistakes
    (3) There does not appear to be a wat to back out updates (ie, no Add/Remove Programs)
    I was able to boot into safe mode and perform:
        > sudo bash
        $ chmod -R root /
    Amazingly, the command ran to completion. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem. As soon as some spare cycles were available (interesting indeed!), the machine shutdown.
    +1 to Apple engineers for creating a broken patch
    +1 to Apple quality assurance for letting the junk out the door
    +1 to Apple, for not offering an ISO to fix a broken installation
    +1 to Steve, who has managed to keep his anti-trust lock on the hardware and broken software
    Great job, Apple

  • Delay when opening Airport menu bar item following Security Update 2007-005

    When I first got this computer, there was one annoying quirk: when I clicked on the Airport menu bar item at the top right, there would be a roughly 1 second pause before the menu actually appeared. I recall hearing other people having the same experience at the time. Airport worked fine, but this delay was really annoying: since you're not sure if the system registered your click, so you click again, but then it registers the second click which causes the menu to disappear as soon as it appears, and you click again, and fall into this ridiculous cycle of fighting the sluggish menu item.
    Before long, this issue disappeared following some update (I can't remember which).
    After installing Security Update 2007-005, this exact same annoyance has reappeared. (I can confirm that the presence of the 802.11n Enabler update has no effect on the problem.)
    Is anyone else noticing this? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

    Hi
    Can you tell people how you cured the problem, so that those who search looking for answers to a similar problem know how to fix it?
