Progress bar looping forever after installing Security Update 2007-2009

Hi,
I installed the Security Update 2007-2009 in a MacBook with OS X Tiger 10.4.10 and I'm having a series of issues. First of all after the install it said something about some installers having errors and that they were placed in the trash, and after that it asked for a restart. I did the restart but the laptop froze on a screen with just the desktop background, it stayed there for a long while until I shutdown the computer manually. After that I turned on the laptop and it got stuck in the start-up screen with the Apple logo and the progress bar but in a different screen size.
After a while, I shutdown the laptop. Looked for possible solutions. Tried to boot in safe mode, it didn't work. It stayed in the progress bar loop. I then tried to reset the PRAM, didn't work but now the boot-up screen was in the correct size.
Tried to safe boot a couple of times again. Still not working. I booted from the install disk and did the verify and repair permissions. And then I tried to boot up again, in safe mode too, and it didn't work.
I really don't want to archive & install.
Can anyone help? I know I'm not the only one.

These problems can almost always be avoided by Repairing Permissions before & After every Update.
Single User method might work...

After that, assuming you have enough HD space, looks like an Archive & Install is in order.

  • 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:

    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

  • After installing security update 10.6.8 I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will permit certain root processes, e.g. configd, to receive unsolicited messages from the internet. What are the consequences of denying these requests?

    After installing security update 10.6.8 last night I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will allow incoming network connections to certain root processes, e.g. configd.  I didn't see these dialog boxes prior to installing 10.6.8.  How do I make  informed decisions? In other words,
    (1) Where can I find 25-word summary descriptions of these processes?
    (2) Where can I find discussions of the consequences of granting or denying these requests?
    Alternatively (and at some risk of revealing metaphysical doubt) why am I being asked for these permissions?  And who expects me to make correct decisions?
    I have turned on th standard-issue OS X firewall and am running my system in stealth mode.

  • 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.

    Basically, the offending file /System/.../LibLAPACK.dylib is moved from the system directory to a current directory, e.g.,
    sudo mv /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib .
    and then back to the original directory, e.g.,
    sudo mv libLAPACK.dylib /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib
    Problem solved without reboot as system immediately returns to normal. Why would a security update from Apple cause this?

    Hi all, anyone else having this problem (and found a solution)? After installing security update 2010-003 on snow 10.6.3, entourage, firefox, and even itunes are crashing at launch. Safari seems stable, but haven't tried other apps yet. Verified permissions on my boot disk and repaired it but the problem persists. It started after rebooting after installing the security update. I'll reinstall the OS if needed but hoping this is a bug someone has solved. Thanks!

  • Trouble after installing Security Update 2005-009

    After installing Security Update 2005-009 I experienced some minor problems with Dashboard where some widgets no longer work and a more annoying problem with CodeTek VirtualDesktop Pro, which exits directly after launching the app (the desktop pager and menu appear and then the app quits). Tried repair of permissions, deleting of VirtualDesktop Pro's prefs, reinstalling the app, etc. - so far nothing helped. CodeTek does not answer my support requests. Has anyone experienced similar problems?

    I would completely uninstall all 3rd party widgets. Restart. Then see if the problem goes away.
    It's likely to be an issue with one of your widgets. And possibly a combination of specific one with a specific another.

    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.

  • OSX cannot boot-up after installing Security Update 2008-008

    Hi Everyone.
    I'm using a MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 3GB RAM with Tiger 10.4.11.
    After installing Security Update 2008-008, my OSX was not able to boot-up. The screen shows the Apple Logo and the spinning grey gear wheel. It stayed that way for several hours.
    I finally switched it off and re-installed OSX 10.4.8 using the Start-up disk that came with my MacPro.
    Now I've updated the OSX, all the software & updates EXCEPT Security Update 2008-08. My MacPro works fine now.
    Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
    Sincerely,
    Azman

    Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
    Probably not directly. Very likely something was not quite right on your computer before the update and the update happened to exacerbate that. A number of people feel that optimizing the maintenance of your computer before doing the update and doing the update under controlled conditions minimizes problems.
    There's been recent discussions as to what steps are truly necessary in doing a minimal problem update.
    I think #1 to which all agree is to make sure you have a backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again.
    Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility.
    You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
    I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
    Repair permissions again afterward.
    It also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
    Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.

    Hi,
    After you unstall the two updates, does the black screen issue completely disappear? We should first figure out whether the two updates are the culprits.
    Since the two updates are related with .net as you mentioned, then here's a .NET Framework Repair Tool released by Microsoft, I suggest you try it and check if it cna detect something.

  • 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.
