Security update and kernel panic.

After a security update i get this when I try to boot:
A lot of text and at the end:
Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.0: Fri Sep ... . . root:xnu-792.12.6.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC
panic: We are hanging here..
Any tips???

Sometimes the automatic Software Update mechanism built into Mac OS X fails to display appropriate, available updates, or fails to properly apply updates that have been successfully downloaded. It also is sometimes inaccessible via its normal location in the Apple menu.
"Grayed-Out" Software Update menu item Generally, Software Update can be universally accessed via the Apple menu. In some cases however -- sometimes after a major system update -- the Software Update menu item appears in a grey shade indicating that it cannot be selected.
The most consistent workaround for this issue has been clearing of system caches -- a task easily accomplished with a tool like Panther Cache Cleaner.
Unable to apply updates Some users are presented with a permissions error referring to the directory: "/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate." when attempting to check for new updates, install updates, or launch the Software Update application.
There are a number of causes for, and solutions to this issue.
Moved applications First, if you have moved any Apple applications from their original locations inside the "Applications" folder, Software Update may not be able to locate them. Make sure to leave Apple-installed applications where they are originally installed.
Permissions repairs Next, try using Apple's Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities) to repair permissions, then try running Software Update again. This works for a high percentage of afflicted systems. Failing this, try starting up from your Mac OS X CD/DVD and repairing permissions again.
Deleting Receipts In some cases, the issue can be resolved by deleting one or a handful of files inside the Mac OS X Library folder. Try deleting the "receipt(s)" that corresponds to the application or Mac OS X version you are attempting to install (i.e. iPhotoUpdate403.pkg or MacOSXUpdate10.3.8.pkg). The receipts are located in /Library/Receipts, and appear as .pkg files (these files tell Software Update whether or not a specific update has been installed).
Modifying permissions A somewhat more tedious process involves using the tool BatChmod to modify folder permissions for the "/tmp/501" directory implicated by the error message mentioned above. Use the Finder to search for names containing 501 or 502 (depending on your error message) with second criteria both visible and invisible then drag the enclosing invisible Temp folder on to the BatChmod icon and select the 'Apply Ownership and Privileges' then press apply 'Apply' button.
tar missing (Developer Tools uninstalled) In some cases, applications critical to Software update -- in particular tar and pax may be missing from your Mac OS X installation. In order to make sure that these applications to indeed reside on your startup drive, you may want to try an Archive and Install process, restoring these critical components that may have been otherwise damaged.
This problem can occur, for instance, if you previously installed XCode and then used the XCode Tools uninstaller. The uninstaller may mistakenly break the tar utility, causing Software Update to fail. Reinstalling the XCode Tools from the Panther CD can cause this issue.
Logical link broken In other cases, the logical link for the /tmp directory may be broken. Entering the following commands through the Terminal application (located in Applications/Utilities on a standard Mac OS X installation) usually resolves this problem (note that you will be asked for your administrator password):
sudo mv /tmp /tmp_old
sudo ln -s /private/tmp /tmp
Waiting Finally simply waiting and trying the update again at a later time has proved successful for a number of users.
Of course, if the update is available from Apple's software download page, you can obtain the appropriate installers via this route until you can solve the issue with Software Update.

  • 10.4.11 update and kernel panics

    I've had Tiger installed on my old ibook for over a year and it's worked beautifully, but after finally getting dsl I upgraded to 10.4.11. About 5 minutes after rebooting I got a kernel panic, and could never again use it for more than 5 or 10 minutes without it panicking. I tried resetting the power manager and pram, and I noticed the startup disk wasn't selected, so I fixed that, but none of those things solved the problem. It did make it slightly more stable so that I had about 20 minutes before a kernel panic, so I tried reinstalling the update. It crashed just before finishing the installation, so I did a clean install of my original 10.1 disks, then found my Jaguar disks and upgraded to 10.2, then eventually upgraded to 10.4. No such luck - it still panicked, although it seemed for awhile that it was fine if my I disabled my airport card. Tonight though I took it to a genius and it panicked on startup with the airport card disabled. The genius tried installing the 4.11 update again, but once again it crashed just before it completed the install, so I brought it home and started over with a clean installation. Amazingly, it seems to work just fine with jaguar, but now I'm stuck using old applications. I ran the hardware tests and everything seemed just fine. I forgot to mention that I have 384mb of ram, with a third-party 256 card - could that have gone bad? I just can't understand why it will no longer run Tiger. Any insight would be very much appreciated!

    shannonh already has the Tiger Install disk, evidently, since she updated to Tiger 10.4.11, which would only be possible if Tiger were already installed.
    I haven't seen any more problems with the OS X 10.4.11 update than have happened in the past.
    I haven't updated to 10.4.11 from 10.4.10 yet, but it's simply because I'm lazy, not because I'm scared of it. (I always back up at least my Home folder before updating. If you're nervous about it, a clone of the hard drive to an external FireWire drive will allow you to clone back to the iBook if something goes wrong.)

    I didn't go past Panther on my G3 iBook because I didn't want to install a system that could not run with just the logic board RAM.

  • Hard Feezing and Kernel Panics - Early 11 MBP

    Hey just wondering if anyone has any insight into this...
    I've been experiencing hard freezing and kernel panics on my Early 11 Macbook Pro for several months.  The hard freezing only happens when I wake up my system from sleep.  I'll open the lid and when it happens, within seconds, everything locks up.  No spinning wheel, just frozen machine and I have to do a hard reboot.  I also get random kernel panics as well.
    I took it in the the Genius Bar a few weeks ago, they ran tests and said the hardware was all fine and that I should reinstall Lion after a clean format.  Well I did that and still having issues.  Not sure if it's being caused by a 3rd party app...or if I really do have bad hardware after all.
    When they did a diagnostic they said that 'soundflower' was showing up in my kernel panic log and that I should find what that is and delete it, so I did.  In my most recent and only kernel panic, shown below, I don't see any 3rd party language anywhere.
    Anyone have an idea of what might be causing this?

  • Mac freezing and kernel panics

    Please help if anyone can. I'm not much of a computer expert.
    I apologize in advance if I'm not asking this question in the right forum or topic- I haven't ever posted before today.
    I have a PowerMac G5 dual 2 GHz processor machine running 10.4.9. Lately I have had problems with freezing and kernel panics, especially at startup or soon after startup.
    I have 1 GB RAM, 150 GB hard drive with 117 GB free space. I have no peripheral devices hooked to my computer- just an Apple USB mouse and keyboard that came with my computer.
    Panics occur at startup usually, and require a restart using the power button.
    Sometimes the system profiler shows that I have only 1 CPU.
    I've run all the Apple hardware diagnostic stuff, Disk Utility, Disk Warrior, etc, and it comes up clean- no problems. I've run fsck -fy, and I've done a full erase and reinstall, then update to 10.4.9. Problem persists.
    Sometimes I don't get the startup sound, and then everything freezes.
    Sometimes it freezes on the blue screen and shows the prohibitory sign.
    Sometimes when it freezes, the fans go wild and just keep increasing in speed until I force restart.
    Recent kernel panic log reads as follows:

    Based on that info, it sounds like either the optical or hard drive is beginning to go bad and perhaps the CPU on the logicboard. The fact it mentions iostorage, that typically deals with the storage devices on the computer. The fact that the CPU disappears is not good. Backup your data and try to replace the hard drive. See my FAQ* on backing up:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    A G5 takes SATA hard drives, and won't work with the Parallel ATA drives. SATA drives take the connectors shown here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_ATA
    The drive may still be under warranty even if the computer is not. Look on the sticky label on the outside of the drive.

  • CrashPlan and Kernel Panics

    Ever since I updated to 10.7.4 I have been having problems with CrashPlan 3.2 and kernel panics. I use CrashPlan on a MacMini 3,1 w/ 2 GHz Core 2 Duo processor and 8 GB of memory. I have several external drives that contain a large collection of photos and home movies connected to the system. There is also a large external disk that I use as a local CrashPlan backup of other computers on my home lan. The system serves mostly as a backup and file server. There are a total of over 1 million files and over 1.3 TB of data that is backed up from this computer.
    After the 10.7.4 upgrade I started getting regular kernel panics when the system was running only CrashPlan. The crash report usually indicated that java was the active process, pointing to CrashPlan as the culprit. To verify that 10.7.4 was the culprit I did clean installs of 10.7.3 and 10.7.4 on an external disk, installed CrashPlan on each of them, and alternately booted from them. I was able to run 10.7.3 for long periods of time (days/months) without crashes while 10.7.4 resulted in a crash, usually within an hour of enabling CrashPlan but never more than a day or so. The crashes seemed to correspond to CrashPlan having high levels of activity. I verified the file systems of all the external drives. In August I finally got around to updating to ML, and by then 10.8.1 was out. I did a clean install on an external drive, installed CrashPlan, crossed my fingers, and, to my disappointement, ..., crashes continued. It may just be my imagination, but I would say if anything the crashes happened sooner.
    I had a several month running discussion with CrashPlan support, which by the way was very responsive and gave good suggestions. I tried many things including 32 bit Java instead of 64 bit. All of this was to no avail until this past week. It was suggested that I increase the limit on the memory. Instructions fro doing this are to edit /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.crashplan.engine.plist (need root permissions to do this), search for the line that contains -Xmx512m and increase 512 to something larger. It was suggested that I start with 1024, but since I have a lot of memory on the system I used 2048. Of course CrashPlan has to be stopped and restarted for this to take effect.
    Perhaps I am being premature in writing this post, but the backup has been running for over 12 hours and seems to be working fine. I noticed that the java process is using 870 MB of real and 1 GB of virtual memory. So, this could explain why CrashPlan had trouble when it was limited to 512 MB of memory. I do not know why this was not a problem under 10.7.3. I did notice under 10.7.3 that CrashPlan reported using 650 MB of real memory for the same backup set. So, for some reason it uses more under 10.8.1. It may also be that 10.7.4 and 10.8.1 have stronger memory protection, but I am not sure. I am posting this information in the hopes that it will benefit someone else having similar problems.

    When I try to watch any video clip I get this:
    The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.
    I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player.  It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you!

    This did not work

  • The version of "Adobe Flash Player" on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using "Adobe Flash Player", download an updated version from Adobe's website.

    The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.

    You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
    Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

    Probably the reboot used to log into the Guest account and then your account again fixed the problem.  If often will.

  • Temp and kernel panic relation?

    Is there a relationship between temperature and kernel panic?
    I've spent the day restarting the computer trying everything I've found at apple discussions and support to fix the nonstop kernel panic restart requests.
    After I Left the thing off for an hour - I gave up after my husband said my ranting caused Ga Tech to lose the Gator Bowl- I was able to get almost through the OS reinstall, which was about step number 45 in my restarts for the day.
    so is this a temp problem? Is this chance or related to the cool down? Cannot wait for tomorrow to talk to someone at apple!

    After you talk to them be sure to post back ...it may very well be related and if so indicates a hardware issue - meaning you may have to send it in for repairs.
    When you mention it's a week old then I'm assuming it's a Core2Duo and not just a refurbished orig. Macbook.

  • Tiger going crazy on iBook G4 with new security update and Safari 3

    I'm running 10.4.11, 1.42GHz PPC G4 with 1.5GB of SDRAM.
    So I ran software update where I noticed new Security Update and Safari update.
    I tried to run the new Safari - Nothing, it's dead, no action! ( could hear hard drive but no action)
    Today I tried running 'Software Update', it's spinning it's wheels, over and over again.
    I'm sure Apple is working on sending me an email, as they got the skinny when the program crashed I forwarded the system message.
    So a bit frustrated hear, I'm using Safari and getting to know Camino.
    The Biggest frustration is that 'Mail' will not boot up so I use my internet to check mail, bummer.
    So lets hope we get some info soon.

    If you are operating behind a proxy server, maybe this will help.
    With regards to crashes from behind a proxy server, I came up with a work around!
    I have been using Automatic proxy configuration using a .pac file. That seems to be causing the error.
    After inspecting the .pac file, and following the if, ifelse path, at the very bottom is a proxy address and port for unclassified connections. Mine looks like this
    proxy.sun.ac.za Port :####
    I have put this into my System Preferences for all connection types, manually. This is found under, System Preferences: Built-in Ethernet: Configure Manually...
    Then you need to go through the box on the left and check each box. As you do so, paste the default proxy address and port in the open boxes on the right.
    Hope this work around helps. My Quicktime is still not working for my older .avi files.

  • Security Update and It's A Non Starter =)

    Hey,
    Sorry ahead of time in case this makes no sense.
    I attempted to upgrade yo the new Security Update, and it was optimizing the disk when it just seemed to stop. I didn't realise for a while but it was just hanging. I restarted the G4 to try and get it going again but all that's happening is the Apple logo and spinning thing! I've left it running, tried rebooting in safe mode. I've no idea where to start! Oh and to throw an extra spanner in the works, I'd a DVD in the drive and I can't get it out if I've to reinstall discs! =) uh oh..... If anyone has any advice, i'd really really appreciate it!
    Thanks

    Great! We are glad to hear that the problem is sorted.
    Regarding your question - "What exactly was the problem with the update I dowloaded?" - here are my opinions. Most likely, there was nothing wrong with the download. The conventional wisdom, to which I subsribe, is that there is usually a pre-existing condition on the machine which manifests itself in the way that you experienced. For example, there might be some third party software on the machine which is not compatible with the update. The machine works fine before the update, but after the update, there is a software conflict and you have problems. This is certainly not the only scenario for trouble, but it is one possibility.
    Should you use Software Update in the future? My opinion is yes, unless you want the software on your machine to stay at the current level. But, given your recent experience, it would be useful to take a bigger view and think about what happens if you have some other big problem in the future. For instance, a hard drive could go bad and you might have to replace it. Or, you could have another software problem, not necessarily related to an update, and need to reinstall your operating system. In these situations, what happens to your personal files? They probably will be lost unless you have instituted a backup plan. So, if this is something that you are not doing and you really would be upset if you lost a lot of data, you might give this some thought. There are some good discussions of backup strategies at Backup and recovery. You can also enter "backup" into the search box at the upper right and you will find lots of info.
    Cheers,
    Rich

  • Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates

    I would like to find a  document that would help me understand and clarify Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates versions and relationships.
    Things like. Cumulative Updates include old Security Updates. Cumulative Updates do not overwrite applied Security Updates, etc.
    For instance,
    I am upgrading a server from: 10.0.5512 (SQL 2008 SP3, After Security Update MS12-70)  To: 10.0.5861 (SQL 2008 SP3 CU17).
    Would the MS12-70 (2754849) I installed still be present after installing CU17? The reason for doubt was that I saw another version of MS12-70 that includes
    CU 1 to 7(KB2716435). So makes me wonder about it.
    I am probably not able to explain myself right but, the idea is to find a document that can explain how the build information and versioning works. 
    Some how I have the idea that Cumulative updates would not include Security Updates.
    Thanks beforehand

    Hi,
    Below will give you list of Service packs and Cumulative updates for SQL Server
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185
    http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.co.uk/
    Security updates are for Windows not SQL Server. SQL server releases Cumulative updates after that a comprehensive service pack is released which includes all fixes that were done in Cumulative updates.
    Cumulative updates fix only a certain type of problem(for which they are created) and should only be applied if facing issue
    Service packs are more through and Inclusive and should be applied and contains many fixes and sometimes introduces few features as well. SP are more thoroughly tested as compared to CU For Cumulative
    update from Microsoft:
    We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment.
    This cumulative package is intended to correct only the problems that are described in this article. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing these specific problems.
    This cumulative update contains all the hotfixes and all the updates that were included with the previous SQL Server 2014 update release.
    Windows patch has hardly any relation to SQL server SP and CU.
