2014 001 security update

Why is it taking an estimated 20 hours to complete the security update. It has been stuck at 92 mb point for 5 hours. Should I stop and restart the download or is this normal? Is the server overloaded?
Thank you who ever knows.

Yes. Restart your computer and try again.

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:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1904960&tstart=0
Thanks,

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.

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.

2014-002 security update wifi disconnecting

Ever since I installed the 2014-002 security update, every time my macbook display shuts off or I shut the lid, and I log back on, the wifi is disconnected and I have to tell it to connect to my router again. I can't find any settings that may have changed.

Might be corrupted network preferences ...
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration
Click Go then move all the files in the SystemConfiguration folder to the Trash.
See if that makes a difference.
Your Mac will generate a new SystemConfiguration folder for you.

2014-005 Security Update will not install

2014-005 Security Update will not install "encountered unexpected error" message at end of install routine

Thanks for the quick response.
I had already done that when it didn't load install completely from the app store notice. It goes all the way to the final part of the installation including moving things in place etc, but a the very last moment it says "Installation failure - An unexpected error has occurred. Contact your software vendor."
I've never had any kind of situation like this with any installs, updates, or anything. Everything else is completely up to date. Steve.

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.

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.

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:

Latest CC 2014 Acrobat Security update crashed my Macbook (2008, Lion 10.7.5).

A couple days ago, I was notified by CC that I had a security update for Acrobat. While installing, it crashed my computer. When I restarted, I no longer had the notification, my CC dashboard says its “up-to-date” and there is no record in my history that the program was updated. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I delete the current Acrobat app and reinstall?

Please follow the steps mentioned in CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed

Security Update 2014-001 Woes

After Security update 2014-001, I can't quicklook any video or audio files (images/text/pdf still work) and when trying to load Facebook or IMDB in Safari, the pages will load, reload three times, then I get a 'Safari Web Content quit unexpectedly' pop-up.
If I open Safari, set cookies to 'never block' then back to my normal setting of 'block third party & advertisers' the pages will load normally. I have to do this every time I start the browser for those pages (and my bank's website) to load properly. I'm using Safari 5.1.7 by the way, because I use RSS everytime I browse the web, I want it built into my browser instead of hassling with another app, and they dropped support for it in 6+.
For video/audio files I no longer get a preview of the file in the icon—just generic movie or mp3 icons—and attempting to quicklook those files gets me a window featuring the icon and a message that 'there was an error with the preview of this file.'
I remember when I used to look forward to updates, now I examine them carefully before installing to see what functionality I use all the time that the 'upgrade' is going to take away. Even after hesitating and reading up on 2014-001 before installing, I still got bit. I'm just about ready to huck the #@!$ computer out the window.
How do I uninstall the security update so I can resume normal web browsing and restore quicklook function?

What a pain. I finally managed to fix things by booting from the Lion recovery disk, reinstalling Windo—oops, I mean Lion, then running Software Update and ignoring the 2014-001 security update.
I then set Software Update to never check for updates again.
Voila! Quicktime player works again! Quicklook previews audio/video files again! Safari works again!

IMac wakes from sleep by itself after security update 2010-001

Since installing last weeks security update 2010-001, my iMac has suddenly started waking up when it should be asleep. Now I've had Auto Sleep problems with my iMac before, but this problem of finding my iMac running when I left it asleep started immediately after the update. Now, one thing additional I've notice since the update is that I often see the message on the screen "Keyboard Connected" when it always was or should have been and I wonder if this is related to my iMac waking up. Anyone else seen this problem since the update or have any ideas?

Thanks to you both for suggestions, but I still have the same problem after trying them and as I said in my title this only started after the 2010-001 security update. As a test I put my iMac to sleep at 13:35 and it woke up by itself at 13:46. Here is the console log below, does it help at all in finding the root cause?

IMac (Early 2009) always wakes from sleep after Security Update 2010-001

I posted this already in the Snow Leopard section, but wasn't able to get a resolution to the problem:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2309613&tstart=0
I tried all the suggested things, but my iMac still always wakes from sleep and this never happened before the 2010-001 security update. I was asked to paste the console log entry from when this happens, so here it is:
28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel Wake reason = OHC2
28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel System Wake

28/01/2010 08:57:47 kernel USB (OHCI):Port 1 on bus 0x6 has remote wakeup from some device
I'm wondering if others have seen this and if so know of a solution. At the moment I'm stuck with having to shutdown my iMac every time I leave it. Thanks.

Here is a solution that should work:
1. Turn off all Bluetooth devices connected to your computer.
2. Make sure Bluetooth icon in the Menu Bar is black (BT is On) and BT is not connected to anything
3. Plug in a USB mouse
4. Go to System Preferences>Bluetooth>Advanced
5. The option to "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" should now be uncheckable>Uncheck it and click OK
6. Turn on your Bluetooth devices and let them connect to your Mac
7. Try and put your Mac to sleep and then wake with the power button
8. Check if the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option is still unchecked (it should be)
9. Try and restart your Mac and check again if the "Allow Bluetooth devices to wake this computer" option is still unchecked (I had mixed results with this test, depending on the type of the Mac being tested)
Anyhow, this way you should be able to uncheck the option that causes the issue and it should not get checked again by itself unless you restart your computer and maybe even after that. If it does get checked again after reboot, just get used to putting your Mac only to sleep until a fix from Apple is available or repeat the above process after every reboot if necessary.
Hope this helps.

Security Update 2006-001 Killed network preferences

After upgrading with the 2006-001 Security Update, none of my network preferences will set up correctly anymore. DHCP doesn't seem to be doing anything, and when I tell it to use a manual address via the system preferences, it appears that it's not actually doing anything. Mac OS System Preferences will not even detect that I have an ethernet cable plugged in, though if I use ifconfig and route I can get a LITTLE bit of traffic to go out, so I know it's connected and working.
Any one have any ideas on this? Absolutely frustrating because I can no longer work until this is fixed (sitting in an internet cafe trying to figure out what the problem is). I'm running 10.3.9 on a 1.2Ghz 12" Powerbook. I don't remember my Unix days well enough to try to manually set up routes and our DNS settings, nor do I know if the appropriate tools are in Mac OS, but the Apple network preferences are clearly busted.
Is there anyway to uninstall an update?

12" 1.2 Ghz PB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I had the same Network & Airport issue after installing Security Update 2006-001 on my wife's iBook G3 running 10.3.9 Trying to access our Airport base station wirelessly would inevitably hang as I selected the Airport network.
I noticed that every time I shut down the computer there was a brief showing of the keychain window asking to allow keychain access...this right as the computer went down (no chance to hit the allow button).
Spent the better part of an entire afternoon trying to fix this problem. Then read all the posts here (amazing how many people have problems with this update). Tried to reset permissions - didn't work. In the end, I rebooted the Airport...went into the Airport Admin Utility with my PowerBook to fiddle around...removed our Airport network from the keychain in my wife's iBook...explored other aspects via the keychain access utility.
None of that seemed to work. I also figure I reset the permissions about half a dozen times (with subsequent reboot). None of that was working either...until after one permissions reset & reboot things came good. I got the keychain window, allowed access, and hey presto...online. So far it's been OK for over 12 hours (including after reboot).
What exactly worked? I don't know. "It's a mystery".
One thing's for sure...this update is not going on any of my other machines!
Come on Apple...surely you can do better than send us automatic updates that break our computers and sap our time!

After Security update 2012-001 cannot save any Office 2004 file

I installed the Office 2012-001 Security Update on a MacBook Pro running Macos 10.6.8
After that, I opened an attached Excel file from an email (received with Entourage), I performed some formula changes and wanted to save the document with a different name. I saw some changes to the screen as if the File saving Window would appear, but instead the whole program crashed. I could not perform any further changes to the file, basically all of the menus were blank, including the Quit menu. I had to Force quit the program. I thought it was only Excel, but Word also behaves the same. I am able to open any Office file with the corresponding Pages-Numbers program and save the file in the appropriate Office format, but I cannot perform any changes using the Office programs. I am writing this question here on the Apple Support Communities because I am almost sure that this behavior happened after I installed the Security Update 2012-001. After reading some of the latest support questions, I performed a Permissions repair on the StartUp disk but nothing changed.
Any suggestions will be very much appreciated.

Also:
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.

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.

I loaded security update 2015-001; now images don't load

Mavericks 10.9.5
13-inch, Mid 2012 MacBook Pro
Google Chrome 40.0.2214.94 (64-bit)
and Apple Mail Version 7.3
After loading the 2015-001 security update, websites will randomly not load (sometimes the Reload button works, and sometimes not). Same with images in email and on websites.
I've tried reloading the update, restarting the computer, and resetting my cable modem and wireless modem. I've tried Renew DHCP lease, and I've tried switching from wireless to an ethernet connection. This update has made my internet and email nearly unusable. I need suggestions of what else I can try to get this working again.

Here are two Support Articles that may help:

Java for OS X 2014-001 (Java SE 6 to 1.6.0_71) ?

Hello,
couldn't find a special Java section at the Apple Support Community, so I've put it to the Mavericks board.
I know Java 6 is no longer a standard part of OS X and has to be installed manually since some time, but you know some applications and installers need it (Juniper Network Connect, Cisco VPN Client, Adobe Illustrator Installer, ... to name some).
Last week Oracle released some important Java Updates, so Java 7 for OS X is now at version 51.
But the new Update 71 for Java 6 has to be released by Apple, normally it should named like "Java for OS X 2014-001" and update Java SE 6 to v1.6.0_71.
( Like they did before with Java for OS X 2013-005, which updated Java SE 6 to v1.6.0_65 @ http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1572 )
I'am really wondering why Apple is not releasing the Java 6 Update as fast as possible, because it will close some really dangerous security issues!
Maybe anybody at Apple will give us an answer?

Hi Marcel_75,
Don't expect an answer from Apple on this forum, we're all users just like you helping eachother out. Apple put Java support back in the hands of Oracle because of that very reason (amongst other things), they could not push out updates fast enough. By lettings Oracle handle this for every platform every Java user is assured of the latest patches as soon as posible.
In this case, who knows what's taking Apple so long. It has been almost a week.
