2009-001 Security Update Has Broken Printing From VMWare

Are Apple aware that their latest security patch has affected the ability to print from a guest OS in VMWare Fusion?
I've installed Adobe Reader 8 since the update, and that won't print too, though I can still print PDF's from Preview, perhaps the update has affected CUPS.
Since Apple recommend VMWare (quite rightly) in their online store, I hope that they feel an obligation to help solve this!

Me too!
in my experience Parallels is a lot more twitchy and problematic than VMWare.
I'm not sure about the definition of "twitchy" in this (or any) context.
That doesn't mean that VMWare is perfect; it's not by any means.
I've never seen any software that is prefect and without bugs. I want to sound fair and unbiased, but I can honestly say that I have never experienced any problem, of any kind, in Parallels. It has never failed me.
I cannot say the same for VMWare. I tried it, found numerous problems immediately. The 2.0 version seems better. It doesn't appear to make the Mac itself unstable, even when VMWare isn't running.
But I've found it to be much more stable than Parallels (either v. 3.x or v 4.x).
For all tasks where printing isn't required I assume
It is not my intention to turn this thread into yet another Parallels vs. VMWare flame war. I have seen a great deal of disinformation targeted at Parallels over the past couple of years. I have made it a personal goal to do my part to fight it whenever I get the chance. So that is why I seem a bit testy and defensive - because I am
Neither you nor the original poster have said anything derogatory towards Parallels. Both Parallels and VMWare are fine products. In this case, VMWare has a bug. That is unfortunate for them. I haven't installed the security update myself to see if Parallels is immune. But I'm guessing it is unaffected considering the level of trashing that Parallels gets even when they don't have bugs.
It is unfortunate that the original poster was misinformed about Apple recommending VMWare. Apple will help market just about any Mac software, but I don't think Apple would ever recommend any 3rd party product over another 3rd party product. They sell both VMWare and Parallels in the Apple Store.
I am sure that VMWare will find and fix this bug fairly shortly. I'm sure Apple will help them if they ask.
I am sure that Adobe Reader 8 will not be updated to fix its bug. Adobe Reader 8 is already obsolete. Adobe Reader 9 may not have the same issue. I can't say myself because I don't use Adobe software to read PDFs. I prefer Preview, Skim, or PDFClerkPro.

Another Mac Mini won't boot after applying 2009-001 Security Update

I installed 2009-001 Security Update last night. Now it is stuck at the Apple Logo and Progress Indicator screen. I booted to Single User mode, and ran "/sbin/fsck -fy", it reported no problems. I also booted in verbose mode, which results in:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow: Login Window Appliation Started
It shows this message, waits 5 seconds (or so) shows it again, waits 35 seconds (or so), and repeats this loop ad infinitum.
I am not able to boot into Safe Mode, still gets stuck at Apple Logo and Progress Indicator screen.
I do not have immediate access to my installation media - they are in another state.
Much of this information is already in another thread, but, that one was started by someone else who did resolve there problems, and the thread is marked answered - so I am started a new thread:

No, because it isn't clear what really caused the problem. There's lots of different bits of computer code on your computer from many different programmers and companies and all those people have to interact with their coding. Then too, maybe there was a power flicker at some stage and a file wasn't closed properly and couldn't be replaced by the update so not all the files were replaced. Also, you are one out of maybe a couple of dozen who have posted about this problem, vs. how many million Mac users who haven't had a problem and haven't posted here to say, "No problem!"
Here's my boilerplate post on updating:
Updating
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. This is the easiest way to resolve any problems an update may produce.
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 verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk. Permissions repair can, and is probably best, done when booted from your internal drive.

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.

Mac Mini won't boot after applying 2009-001 Security Update

I'm stuck at the gray startup screen with the Apple logo and the "gear wheel" progress indicator. Still stuck there after 60 minutes of "letting it brood."
How to I fix this?

The easiest way to solve the problem is to restore the drive from the backup you made just before installing any update or software on your computer, then do the installation again following the suggestions at the end of this post. Failing that...
First, try the routine repair disk and repair permissions with Disk Utility on your installer disc. Boot from the installer disk, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and done a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
From BDaqua (couldn't have said it better):
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."
If you don't have an installer disc available you can try effecting repairs using [fsk in Single User Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214].

If the above don't work, two things seemed to be solutions for Security Update 2008-008 problems.
One is Archive and Install which will replace the corrupted system but then requires you reapply all your updates. Select the keep settings and preferences when doing A&I. Make sure you select that option when doing A&I if you want settings and preferences kept. Some third party applications may need reinstalling if they have special components.

The other is to try to re-install the security update on the main drive while booted from a secondary drive or in Single User Mode. This could be from another Mac computer while your first one is in Target Disk Mode, perhaps a bootable backup drive, or possibly from your installer disc. Here's references for those methods:

Another way to confirm that an apple security update has been installed?? i.e 2012-001

Hey Guys,
Do we have another way to confirm that a security update has been installed?
Ways that I can check.
Installed Software tab in software update
Acutally run a software update to see if you can acutally download and install it.
Thanks

Open Terminal and type "softwareupdate -l" without the quotes.
To get a list of available updates, type "sudo softwareupdate -iva" (no quotes; admin password required).
To install recommended updates only, type "sudo softwareupdate -irv" (ditto).
There's more here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/13/install-mac-os-x-software-updates-terminal/
Please note it can take a while for your system to actually display all the updates you've already installed after typing the first command.

Software Update has broken my system

Software Update has broken my system so that I can no longer restart or shutdown normally. All attempts to restart or shutdown hang the system with a grey screen and a Software Update menu on the menu bar. The menus can be pulled down, but the menu items, like "restart", are not functional. I have to use the control/command/power keys to force a restart, and then command-R after the chime to get to a screen where I can shutdown.
I have just done a complete reinstall of the operating system (10.7.5), with no change in this behavior. I have also tried to do a manual installation of the latest security update, but after hitting the restart button, the same Software Update screen appears whether I have actually used Software Update or not. How do I go about nudging my system out of this behavior?

The startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk
If repairs are necessary, restart while holding down the Command + R keys so you can access ML recovery / Disk Utility. OS X: About OS X Recovery
If the startup disk does not need repairing, start up in Safe Mode
Keep in mind a Safe Mode boot takes longer than a normal boot so be patient. When you're in Safe Mode you should see Safe Mode in red top right side of the desktop.
From there click the Apple menu icon top left in the screen. Select Restart from the drop down menu.

10.6.8 update has broken quicktime 7 codecs

Hi there
It seems that the 10.6.8 update has broken the codecs that quicktime 7 uses.
We have users here that need to use quicktime 7 pro to export movs etc, and since the update, they cannot play (so far that we have found) movs that are using the photo-jpeg decompressor.
We're using the version from the optional installs package form the dvd.
We've been able to work around this by copying (from a 10.6.7 install) the following folders, over the top of the 10.6.8 image.
/System/Library/QuickTime
/System/Library/QuickTimaJava
/System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework
/Library/QuickTime
While ive tried to single out which files are affected, it seems copying one of these folders at a time hasnt fixed the problem. Only when (at least) all the /System folders are copied over, then we can start playing the movs that have the broken codecs.
Is this something Apple is aware of? Is there an word of a fix for this? I also hear that optical audio is broken as part of the update - which the solution has been to recopy the kext file back from an older system.
10.6.7 was a show stopper for us - because of the NFS permission problems.. (but QT7 worked)
and now 10.6.8 is a show stopper for us, because QT7 is now broken, but the NFS problems are resolved.
I dont want to have to rebuild our workstations back to 10.6.6 as we had other issues that was fixed with 10.6.7..
Any ideas anyone? Apple dev's?
Cheers

i think ive narrowed it down to a single file...
On my 10.6.8 laptop - with the stock QT files... the affected movs wouldnt play...
I copy this file from a 10.6.7 machine...
/System/Library/QuickTime/QuickTimeComponents.component/Contents/MacOS/QuickTime Components
And i can play the files again...

You will need to post the exact message, although I would guess that the download was corrupted during download. Did you do it over a wireless network? It may be better to connect straight to the ethernet port and download from there or try going to

ITunes 10.1.6.7 update has broken my foreign font display - Asian characters are now squares. How do I fix this?

The iTunes 10.1.6.7 update has broken my foreign font display - Asian characters are now squares.
They are fine on my iPhone, copying to other documents & through the Last FM scrobbler, yet iTunes shows songs incorrectly. I've fiddled with the ID3/Unicode settings - nothing changes.
For example: iTunes shows a bunch of squares, yet when I copy and paste them here it becomes ~ 일렉트로보이즈
This was not a problem earlier - everything was fine in the four years or so I've used iTunes until, I believe, this update. If it was not the update, I'm not sure what else it could be?
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thank you!

Thank you so much! I vigorously searched around these parts and the general internet before posting and found nothing - it's so simple, too
Hahaha, turns out it was Windows, not iTunes, that broke my font

Need to uninstall 2012-001 security update

The update left a software that relies on the Print Dialog unable to select a printer. It is empty.
It has been verified that this update affects all Rosetta applications. Most won't even launch.

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8500A e-all-in-one has stopped printing from my computer

My 8500e has been working fine for months. My computer is an HP HPE Phoenix h9t. I'm running Windows 7. The printer is set up on the wireless network. This week it just quit printing. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, downloaded diagnostics. You name it, I've done it. Nothing in my network or computer setup has changed. I can set up the wireless on the printer itself--it sees my wifi network, I enter the security code, I can print the wireless network test report from the printer itself, everything is pass and excellent.
Then when I install the software on the computer, tell it I have an IP address from the printer, which is connected wirelessly, I put in the IP address from the display screen on the printer and computer searches then says it can't find it. I have also reset the printer to factory defaults. No go.
We are definitely on the same, secure home network. However, now when I enter the IP address that the printer is giving me into IE, to see if I can see it that way, it can't find it. Is that where the problem is? How do I fix that?
I am WAY beyond frustrated, my work is frighteningly behind, and my husband can't airprint from his iPad. I have searched the forum and can't figure this out.
Thanks for reading through my litany of woes...

Download and run this utility: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=mp-104282-2&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en...

My computer has stopped printing from the internet, I used to be able to but not now?

I can no longer print from the internet, I can print my own documents, but not from internet. This has only just started to happen what can be the problem?
Your help would be appreciated.

What mechanism are you using to access the printer remotely? If it's supported directly by the printer, which printer? (It's fairly uncommon to have an openly-accessible printer on the Internet, so there's usually some security involved here; a VPN or other mechanism to protect the traffic, and some authentication. The ISP can also block some of this traffic, and your network firewall is also involved in permitting or denying access.)

Security Update has destroyed my wireless Internet access

Hi,
I am reposting this as a separate question as no one has answered my post from 2 days ago and I am getting desperate.
Ever since I downloaded the latest Apple security update two days ago for my OS Tiger, my wireless connection won't work, I am using a separate wireless stick (Sitecom) as Airport won't get me onto channel 13 here in Europe. I know I am connected to the Linksys router here, as the software of my wireless stick tells me this, but my Mail and Safari now tell me I am not connected to the Internet.
I have checked everything, the wireless stick is at the top of the list of my network connections and the box beside it is checked, and the numbers in the Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the wireless stick are still 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220. So now I am using a network cable as a temporary measure but I can't live like this as the router with the cable is 100 feet away from where I am staying.
It must be something to do with the latest Security Update as I literally was using the wireless perfectly to download the Security Update, then I switched off my computer and switched it on again, and now my wireless connection won't work. What should I do? I tried duplicating the wireless stick connection and then deleting the original but that didn't work. I am afraid to remove the files in my Library as suggested on another thread because I have lots of wireless connections as I travel a lot and I can never replace them all. Help!

Hi,
well, I got it to work by following BDAqua's advice and adapting it for my external wireless stick - i.e. I went to System Preferences - Network - Show Network Port Configurations, and I highlighted my Sitecom wireless stick i.e. Ethernet Adaptor, and I then clicked Delete but I didn't pull the stick out. The listing for the Ethernet Adaptor then went to the bottom of the list but was still visible in pale grey with no checkmark in the box beside it. Then I went to the Keychain access but there was no password listed there for the stick so I didn't do anything there. Then I rebooted. Then I went back to Sys Pref - Network - Show Network Port Configs and then I rechecked the box beside Ethernet Adaptor and dragged it back to the top of the list. Then my Location was at Automatic, I am not sure if I made it go there or if it had automatically gone there - prior to this it was at a separate location I had made for my wireless stick, with the DNS Servers that BDAqua had given me in a prior thread. So now I am functioning on the Automatic Location, so what is happening is that it is taking a long time to find the Internet after rebooting and then it is not using the DNS Servers from the previous wireless stick location, but that DNS Server box is now blank. I have rebooted a couple of times and this system seems to be working for me so I will stick with it and just not turn off my computer very often. Whether or not the location I had made specifically for my wireless stick will ever work again I don't know and don't want to spend hours more agony trying to find out. So I am satisfied with this solution.
Thank you very much indeed, BDAqua, if you are in Berlin in the next 2 months I will buy you an evening full of beers as a thank you!

2009-002 security update start up problems

I have to "coax" my tiger 10.4.11 Macbook pro into starting and I have a recurring permissions error after installing the newest security update. I repair them and it will still stall after entering the login password at that screen. Here are the errors:
Determining correct file permissions.
Permissions differ on ./System/Library/User Template, should be drwx------ , they are drwxr-xr-x
Permissions verification complete
Permissions differ on ./usr/standalone/i386/boot.efi, should be -r--r--r-- , they are -r-xr-xr-x
It will boot into safe mode every time, but its like pulling teeth and takes many hard powerdowns to get it to boot normally. Does anyone know enough about the boot process to help me out? Thanks!

Thanks Dale, I did run the disk utility and the disk checked out fine every time.
Did you actually run the disk repair (not permissions)?
I haven't done the whole verbose mode/fsck thing I've read about, do you think it's worth a shot?
No, If you use Disk Repair it is actually more robust then fsck in Tiger.
The first time this happened I took it to the genius bar and they did an archive and install, but they installed the same security update (2009-002) again, so I'm again having the same bootup issue.
I don't think the security update is the issue....I run 10.4.11 on my G4 , with all updates installed, and have no issues. More likely, there is something weird in your system that the update is bringing forth, or you just have a startup login issue.
+Archive and Installs+ can leave you with problems from the previous install.
Do you have a backup? If not, are there things on the drive that you can't afford to lose?
I'm thinking I just need to save up 150 bucks and bite the Leopard bullet...
Do you really need Leopard? If not the same can be accomplished with an +Erase and+ Install of Tiger. But it will wipe out everything on the drive, hence the backup question. Or you could get a better utility to help. What exactly happens when you try to bootup?

My HP printer has stopped printing from my IPad.

I have an HP photosmart c310. I sometimes get a message that the IPad has connected to the printer but nothing prints. Other times O get no message at all. I haven't made any changes to my network or settings and I can print from other devices.
Any ideas as to what i can do to rectify this problem?

Hi slfiedler, welcome to the Hp forums
This is the main supoprt page of your printer CLICK HERE here you can find useful how to's and even troubleshoothing steps for almost any issue with your printer.
Let's do this;
Set an static Ip address for the printer
Read this article; Click here;
In step 6 it will explain the how to, in the same page you can assign and static DNS server I will recomend using google public DNS servers Which are 8.8.8.8 and alternative or secondary 8.8.4.4

Security update has messed up my computer

installed and kept package for security update a few hours ago
then restarted and now the finder won't load, it just keeps refreshing there is no way to access any function to uninstall or do anything
restarts don't work completely unplugging doesn't work
i'm trying not to freak out

First, I want to thank everybody who wrote this weekend. I awarded helpful points but then it stopped giving me the option and I didn't want to award all the solved points to just one person so if you have suggestions I will follow up on that. (Thanks to whoever took the swear out of my subject line, although it expressed the feeling at the time--you don't think installing a security update is going to be the cause of a meltdown.)
Here is how it ended up. I created another boot drive on an external so I could backup the rest of my files/media and try things from there. I opened in safe mode and even there the finder didn't work. I ran disc utility and then Discwarrior. Rebuilt the directory, repaired permissions, tested the device. Both Discwarrior and Mac disc utility reported the drive is failing. After that, the finder never did return to operation so I did an archive and install, and then restored to 10.4.9. The finder came back, my settings were still there, all my music was stil connected, and so far I haven't had to input a serial number but I haven't tried all the applications yet. The disc is still failing however, and so I am not going to use that computer until I can clone that drive and replace it. Any cloning/ghosting help/links/suggestions would be appreciated.
Oh, one interesting discovery during this. Even though the Finder didn't work, software update came up yesterday and I found I could actually use Safari and that would semi-launch the Finder to get to system preferences (I even tried running Tinker Tool to try and relaunch the Finder with no luck of course). Couldn't launch any other applications though.
In all, I think the drive was going bad first--hard to say though because I wasn't having any issues up to the security update install. It's a good warning to others to do the precautionary steps that all of you suggested. I got too ccomfortable because in the 13 years of owning several Macs and then working with a couple dozen every day (for video editing) I never had a meltdown with the OS--to not see the Finder take hold is disturbing.
I am very happy I still have use of this drive, but I don't trust it and will be replacing it soon.
Thanks again. Can always count on good souls at Apple Discussions to give their best.
