The mail app on my Mac laptop will not open. This began happening after an upgrade during which "Security UPdate 2012-004" was installed. My mail app has a new icon, and I think i trashed the old program (trying to follow directions). Suggest a fix?

Clamd fails after installing Security Update 2010-004

A few months ago while running clamav-0.96, I began to get "Assertion failed" notices in my system log. But I applied a PowerPC patch available at clamav.net and that solved the problem. Later on, I updated to clamav-0.96.1 and everything continued running fine until yesterday when I installed Apple's Security Update 2010-004. Now I'm seeing the "Assertion failed" messages in my system log again just about every 10 seconds:
Jun 17 07:55:17 nagxserveg5 net.clamav.clamd[686]: Assertion failed: (ResultPtr
= -(1 << 23) && ResultPtr < (1 << 23) && "Relocation out of range!"), function

I tried reinstalling clamav-0.96.1 (configure/make/make install) and
rebooted, but that didn't help. And attempting to reapply PowerPC patch, I just
get the message that the patch is already applied. I have had to turn off virus scanning in ServerAdmin/Mail service in order to send/receive any mail. Otherwise, everything fails in virus scanning and just ends up sitting in my Mail Queue.

Yes, but you also mentioned that you tried to apply the patch which is not needed
Looks like a freshclam update broke things then. Until they reliably sort it, you can safely rebuild ClamAV using --enable-llvm=no or --disable-llvm (don't remember which one is correct off the top of my head).

Security update 2010-004

(not sure this post is in the proper thread - please advise if not)
Today I installed the Security Update 2010-004 onto my iBook G4 (10.5.8) and then Safari would not work as before. I finally thought to check the DSN Server settings and found that my previous settings were no longer there. I set them back to (208.67.222.222,208.67.220.220) and now I am back on-line.

Update: I modified my System Preferences for CD/DVD to open Finder when a blank CD is inserted. Music CD insert was already set to open iTunes. Doing this does get the audio CD to show up on my desktop, but not in the way I want. It creates an "untitled CD.fpbf burn folder", visible on the desktop and the left side of a Finder window - even though this is an audio CD.
Unfortunately, the audio CD still does not appear in iTunes. Why is my Mac treating this like a blank CD when it is not?
If I load it via my internal optical drive it mounts fine and appears in iTunes. Why would the external optical drive make it appear as a blank CD and the internal one as a music CD?

Security Update 2010-001 Client (Leopard)

Where does it show that Security Update 2010-001 Client (Leopard) is installed? I installed this update using <apple>-> Software Update.
It's apparently installed, because <apple>-> Software Update no longer lists it as an update. But <apple>-> About This Mac says I have:
Mac OS X Version 10.5.8.
The Security Update is not mentioned.

"But <apple>-> About This Mac says I have:
Mac OS X Version 10.5.8.
The Security Update is not mentioned."
It won't mention Security Updates. It only gives you the OS version and the build.

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.

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.

Can't boot up after installing 10.4.10 + security update

I got the automatic update yesterday (5/26) and installed the system & security updates onto my G5 as usual. Got the box that says to either shut down or restart. I clicked restart, and now all my computer will do is get to the blue screen that says loading OSX and then it stays on that forever. I've disconnected all peripherals, reset the pram -- no luck. Then I booted up from the disk tools CD and ran the permissions/repairs, but on all of them it stops about 3/4 of the way through the process and won't go any further. Out of desperation I even tried to do an archive/install and it wouldn't complete. My computer was working fine before this. Any suggestions would be MOST appreciated.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

To emdh & the others:
If you hard drive has certain kinds of problems, they will be exacerbated by the updates (any updates, not just these). This can lead to an inability to restart.
These problems can be revealed by running Disk Utility's "Verify Disk" test (not the same as permissions repair). If that test shows any problems, you must restart from another disk with the OS & Disk Utility on it to repair them -- drives must be unmounted for this kind of repair to be made. Typically, people use the installer disk that came with their Mac for this.
Obviously, if your computer will not restart from an already damaged drive, you will have to restart from another one to perform the test or repair.
If the repair fails, you can try a more powerful disk repair utility like DiskWarrior, but some problems are too severe for any repair to succeed. In this case you must erase & reformat the drive, then reinstall the OS from scratch from your Tiger installer disk.
Since some disk problems are caused by failing hardware, it is a good idea to run the Verify Disk test again at this point. If your internal drive supports S.M.A.R.T. self-monitoring (& most do), you can check its status at the bottom of the Disk Utility window as another confirmation of your drive's health.
Assuming everything appears to be working correctly, you are now ready to perform any desired updates. Download a fresh copy of the Combo updater for your model (PPC or Intel) that takes you to the desired version number.
It is important not to install any third party software until this is done: anything that alters the basic operation of the OS can & usually will interfere with the update process, & since developers do not always make it evident their software does this (or sometimes claim incorrectly that it will have no effect), it is best to play it safe & avoid all of it until you can establish that the updated OS is working correctly. Add your third party stuff a little at a time, checking for proper operation after each addition. If you encounter any problems, consult the software's documentation for the best way to remove it, do so, & contact its maker to see if they have a later, compatible version.
Some users feel it is important to verify permissions before & after each install. I do not, but it can't hurt anything so do so if it makes you feel better.
There are other causes for updates to fail, but file system problems are among the most common, so the Verify Disk check is a good place to start.
Good luck!

App store blank after restarting Mac during 'Critical Security Update' for 10.9.2

Hi - this is definitely a self inflicted problem however it took me by suprise, and I wasn't sure if it was an official Apple update or some kind of new virus... I was browsing Safari when the notification came up 'Critical security update' which was weird to me as it didn't look like a standard notification, so I clicked 'later' (or equivalent) but my entire screen faded out to grey and it started updating anyway. So naturally I panicked and force shut down my computer, mainly because it was unlike any update I had encountered. After scouting around online I decided to turn it on again, and everything seems to be working, however my app store is totally blank apart from the main icons (featured, purchases, icons, etc). I now can't update it at all let alone download any new apps. I'd really appreciate any help!

Hi anto321,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your computer was shut down during an update, I recommend first starting up into Safe Mode:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Safe Mode is a way to start up your Mac that performs certain checks and prevents certain software from automatically loading or opening.
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Best,
Jeremy

Desktop items disappeared after installing Apple OS X security update

I downloaded and installed Apple's new OS X security update (15 Sep 2008) for Power PC that became available via software update feature today.
When I restarted the computer as advised at the end of installation, my hard drive icon and all other desktop files disappeared. Safari works. In Apple menu, the shut down feature only works when Safari is active. Force quit feature shows Safari as the only item while Finder items keeps flashing and disappearing.

Dear BDAqua, Thank you very very much for your advice.
First, I tried the approach of 'safe booting'. The menu items on the top kept flickering and I could not get into either the 'applications' folder or the "users" folder.
Then, I saw your advice to pj3 on another thread about re-running the install disc that came with the computer. I did not have to run all the other steps because re-installing the system with the standard instructions took care of the problem. The hard drive and other desktop files as well as the finder re-appeared.
Thanks again for your kindness.
Cheers!

Can't install Security Update 2012-003 for Leopard

I can't install neither Security Update 2012-003 nor Flashback Removal Update. The installer says the software cannot be installed on my machine. I am on a G5 (PPC) iMac running OSX 10.5.8. What's going wrong? By the way, automatic software update did not find any updates for me. I had to download the updates manually from Apple's software support page.

There is no update or removal tool for PPC machines because Flashback won't run or even install on them.
You should still disable Java in your browsers as some other malware may come along that will work.

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

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.

20 inch Aluminum iMac crashes after installing Mac OS X Combo Update 10.5.6

I have a school lab with 22 of the new 20 inch Aluminum iMacs. They all have been having a problem with crashing after someone logs onto my network server, which is still running the 10.4 Tiger version of the Apple server. They run fine if you boot up and log on as a local user, and they seem to run fine when you boot up and log on to with a server account, but when you log off from the server, about five seconds later while the aurora screen is still showing, they crash and give you the Apple version of the "blue screen of death."
I was told that the fix was to download the combo update separately from the Apple website and use that to reinstall and update the operating system.
I downloaded and tried installing with a 10.5.6.dmg file and a 10.5.6.dmg.smi file, but they both crashed.
Where can I find the "fixed" version of this update or is there some other fix?
I have tested this on 9 or 10 different systems.
The first file was MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.6.dmg, which is a disk image file that is 668.8 MB or 684,774 KB.
I looked in the discussion groups on the Apple web site and found some discussions for problems that seemed similar to, but not quite the same as my own. They led me to a file MacOSXUpdCombo10.5.6.dmg.smi, which a self mounting image file that is also 668.8 MB. I tried it and got the same result.
I can install my dvd, which gives me 10.5.1, which will log off and reboot correctly.
I can then install several miscellaneous upgrades:
Pro Apps Update 2006-02 V1.0
AirPort Utility V5.3.2
Remote Desktop Client V3.2.2
QuickTime V7.6
iTunes V8.0.2
and also
Front Row V2.1.6
The system will then log onto the network, log off and reboot correctly.
But, when I install the 10.5.6 combo update from any of my sources, it boots and logs on fine. But, if I log onto the network, it crashes when I log off.
Where do I go from here?
Thanks for your help.

Have you tried starting up with your install disk and doing a disk repair?
Put the install disk that came with the Mac in the DVD/CD drive and restart holding down the 'C' key. You can take your finger off once you hear it making noises from the DVD/CD drive. You'll be presented with a screen where you choose your language. At the next screen on the menu bar select Utilities>Disk Utility you then select your Macintosh HD on the left and click on 'repair disk'. If it makes any changes click on 'repair disk' again and repeat the process until you get a clean pass. Once done select restart from the Apple menu and hopefully the Mac will boot normally.

IMac G5 Stuck While updating to Security Update 2010-001 Client (Leopard)

Pretty much explains everything in the title.
There is a blue screen and my cursor is fading out slowly and then fading in again.
If i power it off and on again it works but the update is not there.
Should i just ignore it?

Did you use Software update or the Apple site? Try the one you didn't use and see if that works.
