306MB security update for Skype for Business

Hi Microsoft or Community,
I went through a list of updates being shown by WIndows update (I'm on 8.1) and was stunned to see this
Security update for Skype for Business(KB3039779) 64Bit: 306MB
Security update for Skype for Business(KB3054946) 64Bit: 100.1MB
What's going on? What happened to the small and light messaging clients? I mean the above update is about 400MB that too, just security. Are you intending to update just skype or is this going to write all over the Windows 8 binaries.  I believe the messaging client has to be/can be less that 50MB in total. Use the media, networking and security layers of the host OS, don't rewrite these in the messaging client. In fact the design philosphy from mobiles should carry over.
The biggest advantage MS has here is that you write the OS too where the security and multi-media capabilities should logically be added. If the 400MB above is updating those capabilities then call it a windows update.
For now I will uncheck the update box, so I don't install the above two patches. Please escalate this to MS product management and add to your product roadmap to design and release a compact skype.
Thanks and regards,
A Samel

  • HT5130 Unable to  install Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8

    Have just tried to install Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8 and get message saying cannot download. Download stalls at Zero kB downloaded. Dialog says an error occurred during download.
    Internet connection is fine and first time denial has occurred.

    Looking at all the posts about the deficiencies of this update, you may have just lucked out, especially if you are, like many of us, still running PowerPC programs under Rosetta.

  • Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac no longer able to save or save as documents;  program freezes after clicking save

    Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac 2004 is no longer able to Save or Save As documents.  After clicking Save or Save As, the program ceases to respond and must be Force Quit.  Any tips on making Word functional again?

    There was a second Security Update (v1.1).  Did you download that one.  It was supposed to have fixed the problems created by the prior update.  At least is solved my problems with Quicken 2007 for Mac and AppleWorks 6.

    Looks like Apple did the same thing with Lion that Microsoft did with Vista. Brought it on the market before it was ready.
    I run a MacBook Pro and upgrading to Lion caused me two days of trouble and computer crash. Router settings removed and router blocked. Dongle not recognised, you name it.
    In the end, I gave up and using my Snow Leopard installation disk and a Time Machine Backup finally got my computer up and running again. Thanks to Lion, I think I'll stay with OS X 10.6.8 at least it's reliable.

  • Will there be a Security Update 2009-006 for Tiger PPC

    Apple released Security Update 2009-006 for Leopard today, but not for Tiger.
    Is there going to be any more support and updates for Tiger, since Snow Leopard came out?
    Thanks

    Actually, I just tried to reply to your message using Safari 4.0.4 and repeatedly got this error:
    Request Timeout
    The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.
    Reference #2.4da21160.1258046993.0
    It did that with another page too, but is loading others fine. I am wondering if there is an issue. I may have to downgrade to 3 again, if that is possible.
    I got used to using Firefox because I just upgraded from OS X 10.3.9 and had to use Safari 2.x, which doesn't work so well with the web anymore.

  • Will the security update be available for IOS 6?

    Will the security update be available for IOS 6?

    linrey wrote:
    Not so - Apple says they have release iOS 6.1.6 to address the security problem. However no one seems to know how to get it since every request for an update only offers iOS 7. Very strange...
    Nothing strange about it.  iOS update only allows the installation of the latest release based on the hardware it detects you are using.  The 6.1.6 update is only available to those devices that CANNOT run iOS 7, like the iPhone 3Gs.  For any device capable of running iOS 7, the iOS update system will ONLY offer the option of updating to iOS 7.0.6, regardless of whether the device is still running iOS 6 at the time you try to update it.
    That is how the iOS update system has always worked - you simply cannot update to a lesser iOS release then the most recent for your particular hardware.

  • Security update Flash version for Mac OSX 10.5.8 won't install

    I lost my ability to view Ustream live streaming and recorded videos on Sept. 12, 2013, in both Safari and Firefox. The screen is solid black, and if I right click I get "Movie not loaded..." I read about the Sept.10 Security Update for Flash Player, so I uninstalled version fp_10.3.183.90 and attempted to install version fp_11.7.700.242. The installation failed every time, so I returned to the older one. On Sept. 13 I downloaded Google Chrome and it worked, but today, Sept. 14, I see the message "Flash is out of date," and no video.
    I have a Macmini2,1 with 1 Intel Processor and 2 Cores, made in 2007, I think. OS Leopard, 10.5.8 (64-bit). My Safari is version 5.0.6, Firefox 9.0.1 and Chrome 21.0.1180.90.
    I spend a lot of time on Ustream, so this is a big setback... please help!

    Firefox is on version 23.1 now (I believe it WILL run on Leopard), and Chrome is on 29 (I can't be sure of that because I've uninstalled it from EVERY LAST machine I own and will NEVER use it again).
    THAT may have something to do with it. Safari 5 is the newest that will run on 10.5, and unfortunately the LATEST Flash Player WON'T run on Leopard.
    The reason is that OS 10.5 was the LAST Universal Binary OS Mac released (it runs on Intel or Power PC Macs) Becaue of that, it uses a different acrhitecture and the Flash Player is different from an "Intel only" build. Websites will continue to update, requiring the latest Player, and that will lead to obsolescence of your Flash Player (and your OS). THAT'S the bad news.
    The GOOD news is: Because your Mac is Intel powered, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (OS 10.6.8) for $20 through Apple (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard), and THAT will allow you to run a LOAD of software that requires 10.6 or newer.

  • 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.

  • Security Update 2013-004 for Snow Leopard Failing

    I've been trying to download this new security update for almost 2 weeks now.  Every time I try to do it, it says the updates have failed.  I've tried doing it with all my updates at once.  I've tried doing it as a single update.  Each time, it goes through almost the entire process and then says that it couldn't be updated.  I'm now encountering other problems as a result of it.  I'm trying to backup my iPhone to my computer and it keeps giving me an error, saying that all my software must be up to date... (which I can't have if it keeps failing).
    Anyone else having this issue / know of a fix???

    Try going to disk utilities and repair permissions, and verify disk, if verify disk comes back with errors (they wil be RED)
    Use your install disc, boot holding the C key, select language, next page select utilities from the menu /disk utilities, repair disk.
    Log out trya again, use an ehthernet connection rather than wireless, it is less prone interference.
    Try settig Ssfari preferences to "save downloaded files to" desktop and then download the stande alone installer, run the installer pkg

  • Has the lastest security update caused problems for anyone else?

    Since the latest security update things have been a little weird with my MBP. Within 5 hours of udating the computer there were two kernal panics. At least I think the second one was a kernal panic. I had closed the lid and it wouldnt sleep or turn back on and it had no response to the power button or any keys so I eventually pulled the battery. Then on restart it acted as if recovering from a panic.
    Since then I have had other problems such as long waking time from sleep, dim screen after restarts, and itunes opening for no reason at all. After the latest restart things seem more 'normal.'
    Has anyone else had this problem? If it continues, what should I do?

    And here was I thinking it was my own imagination! After installing that annoying update, my MBP has not been the same.
    I also had two kernal panics exactly as you have described.
    My MBP seems to me to be extremely sluggish compared to what it was, and I am seriously condsidering reinstalling OS x and not installing that update.
    At one point I decided to run disk check and it said I needed to repair my hard drive, something about the actual size and recorded size being different, so I repaired that last night so I will have to see how that goes.
    I am very careful with my comp so i know that it is nothing I did that could cause thes problems.
    And of course to add another problem to the list, My battery life is nothing like it used to be. I am a college student and up until i installed that update i could easily go 4 hours in lecs using the laptop to take notes, but now after about half an hour the battery indicator says i have an hour left. It is very annoying!
