Security update 2008-005 for OSX 10.4.

My mate has an intel iMac running OSX Tiger 10.4. which is now not starting up. This problem occurred as he was downloading the 2008-005 security update yesterday. Any suggestions or solutions on how to get his iMac up and running again please? He didn't run disc utility before-hand. I am sure he will do so in the future , assuming he can the Mac going again.

  • 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 2008-005 (Intel) -- DNS Hole patch

    Is it alright to use this update (Security Update 2008-005 (Intel)--DNS hole patch) on an Intel iMac running OS X Ver. 10.4.9 even thought it states the requirement as being 10.4.11?
    Yes I know I can update to 10.4.11 for free, but I have some issues with it and prefer to stay on a very stable 10.4.9 installation.
    Thanks in advance for any insight on this.
    WW
    PS--"Security Update 2008-005 (Intel)" doesn't appear when software update is run, so I would have to manually apply it, which I'm assuming is an option.

    Hi, I'm not certain on this, but I really think if it doesn't show in SWU, then likely it needs something higher first. Usually though, when you try to install it it will stop you if you can't/shouldn't.
    Like iTunes 7.7.1 can't be installed unless you already have iTunes 7.7.0 installed, you can get it, but it doesn't shoew in SWU, nor will it install.

  • Unable to see PC's on network after Security Update 2008-005

    I just updated our Tiger server with the latest security update 2008-005 and now none of the PC's can see the Workgroup or the server. In addition, the Macs can no longer see the PC's on the network. The PC's can connect to other computers if it was previously mapped. However if we try to connect to the Workgroup, it is denied. Previously one PC's with the Windows Firewall turned on blocked all the PC's from seeing the Workgroup however it did not block Macs. This time viewing PC's is blocked completely and there are no PC's windows firewalls running. The macs can still see other macs and the servers (all Xserve's).

    Issue resolved. It had nothing to do with the update. When I restarted the server it chose an NT computer on the network as the Master Browser. The resolution was to turn off the NT computer, restart the computer and let it pick up one of the 2000 or XP computers as the Master Browser. That worked.

  • Security Update 2008 005 PPC - found "alreay exists" items

    I found these entries in the "install.log":
    ./System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework (version 523.12.2.45231202) was not installed because a newer version (4525.18.0.45251800) already exists.

    ./Applications/Safari.app (version 3.0.4.45231202) was not installed because a newer version (3.0.4.45252200) already exists.
    after installing Security Update 2008 005 PPC. I installed iTunes 7.7.1 at the same time but was otherwise current with Tiger 10.4.11.
    Should I be concerned with these messages or just ignore them?
    Should I install Security Update 2008 005 PPC again but move these files to the trash prior to the install?

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I don't think you need to worry. Most likely those Security things were taken care of by you installing more recent Safari updates than some might have on their installs.

  • Vertical stripes after latest Security Update 2008-004 for OS X Tiger

    Hi there,
    I'm experiencing vertical stripes and color issues on my PB G4 17 inch screen after the security update 2008-004.
    Funny thing is, a screenshot looks fine.
    I already resetted PRAM and NVRAM. Didn't help.
    Does anyone know a solution?
    Thanks,
    Phil

    It's probably got nothing to do with the upgrade.
    I guess your computer is about 15-20 months old and the serial number starts with W84 or W85.
    This is obviously a common problem among these serial numbers, and it starts after about 15 months.
    I've got a mint PBG4 17, that's NEVER left the house. Just turned it in on AppleCare repair (32 days left, phew) for this problem.
    This number series is assembled in Shanghai in 2005.

  • Security Update 2010-005 for Facetime

    Hi,
    I have downloaded Face-time Beta to be installed on my iMac OS 10.5.8.
    During Installation i get a message that I need to install first "Security Update 2010-005 using software update"
    My software update shows no update required. Nevertheless, I have downloaded all 5 security updates and installed them one after the other, with no problems.
    Still i get the same message that Security Update 2010-005 needed when I try to install the Facetime.
    Can anybody knows a way out of this loop ? or how do I "Inform" the software update that the Security update 2010-005 is already installed ?
    thanks,

    Yes, you'd need to buy it - it's available widely for $29 (Apple store or resellers); you can then update to 10.6.4 - use the combo updater available here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
    (updates for an OS are available for free, but you do have to pay for the initial upgrade to another OS).
    Edit: And when you're doing the updates to 10.6.4, don't forget to repair permissions after each update.

  • Problem with Entourage after installing Security Update 2008-005

    Since installing the update I can no longer access the mail on my server using its required SSL settings in Entourage 2008. I can use Mail without problem, and I can access mail from my other servers (which don't require secure settings).
    Any advice?
    Thanks,

    Hello, i have the same problem. After security update the Mailprogram is polling my imap accounts (which requires SSL) endless. My workarround was to install Thunderbird. TB did the job. Any solution?

  • Security Update 2008-005 PPC won't unpack

    Hey all,
    I've tried both the command line and the GUI versions of software update. No luck. The update downloads and gets as far as a .DMG file, but when unzipping the .DMG there is an error and the image never mounts. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone else get the update to work? Thanks.

    You don't 'upzip' a disk image, you double click it to open the installer.

  • 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.

  • Security update 2008-007: not installing

    I used 'software update' from the apple menu to download this security update of 31 MB yesterday.
    It got downloaded and while installing (during shut down), there was an error message saying i need to contact the manufacturer.
    Also in the window that asks to restart now or later - the enter/return button is not working for selection and it is working only while using the track pad.
    next time when i use the software update, it does not start downloading (looks like the previous downloaded file is still in the buffer) and it straight goes to window asking for restart now or later.
    and the same problem continues.
    should i have change some setting?
    also i tried to download the security update 2008-007 for client INTEL from apple downloads site (around 139 MB). this too indicated an error after downloading.
    the last security update had changed the keyboard backlight set to off. i did not notice it initially.
    later i noticed and wondered if the keyboard is damaged. after going thro the discussion forums, i went to the preferences and found the keyboard backlight not selected. after selecting it, it was okay.
    any soultions please?

    Whoa - slow down there. That update is for Tiger. DO NOT attempt to use it with Leopard. You have to read the large print:

    Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger

    If you are remiss in applying the wrong updates, anything can happen and usually does.
    Be very careful when doing things manually.
    First, boot into Safe mode and at login screen select restart and let system reboot normally.
    Down the CORRECT security update and install it.
    I believe this is the one for you:

  • Security Update 2008-008 installs old version of Shockwave plugin

    It appears that the recent Security Update 2008-008 for 10.4.x does not properly check to see if a newer version of Shockwave plugin is installed.
    We have Shockwave 11.0.3r470 installed, but the Security Update 2008-008 has installed version 10.1.1.r116
    This results in two version of Shockwave being installed on the system.

    BDAqua wrote:
    Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Thanks BD Aqua, Hello to all.
    What locations are those two please?
    The Shockwave Plugin is at:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/DirectorShockwave.plugin (for Shockwave 11.x)
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave (for Shockwave 10.x and earlier)
    Support files for Shockwave 11 are at:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Shockwave 11
    while support files for Shockwave 10 are located:
    /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Shockwave 10
    The issue here is that the SecurityUpdate 2008-008 will install Shockwave 10 even if Shockwave 11 is already present. This results in having two different version installed simultaneously.
    Safari even reports both in the "Installed Plug-ins" report.
    My guess would be that it is not good to have both installed at the same time!

    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

    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?

    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.)
