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.

Strange behavior in Preps 5 after Security Update 2012-001
After installing Security Update 2012-001 this morning, my Save dialog box no longer appears in Preps 5.0. Another iMac running 10.6.8 that was not updated has no problems. Any ideas how to fix this or a workaround?

- 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.

Rosetta Problems after Security Update 2012-001
My crack team of sys admins and I have devised a method for resolving some of the issues regarding the Security Update 2012-001 and Rosetta.
http://www.educate-it.org/content.php?130-Rosetta-Issue-after-Security-Update-20 12-001
Click this link for an Installer that will revert the files necessary for some Rosetta apps to run after the Security Update. This is a band-aid and is only recommended in emergency situations. Apple is currently working on a fix, but until that happens, we are stuck with reverse-engineering their update. I hope this helps those in distress from this update.Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
If you have TM, or a option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.
If not, c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions, (do not format or erase!!) and simply re--install 10.6 from the disk. Note: Does not touch your files and most programs, but backup your files regardless.
Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8, it should not include the security update at this time (second pass it might show) because it was just released and they might need to pull it. (they need to pull it)
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that installed kext files into OS X, you'll know, they won't work.
If you get gray screen, hold the shift key and update your installed software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

Mail won't open after Security Update 2012-004
At some point, Apple started doing this annoying stupid thing with certain app updates (among them QuickTime Player, and iTunes, and Mail) where if those apps do not reside in /Applications they will not be updated properly. In some cases, a new copy is installed in /Applications, and you just have to manually replace your older copy. Annoying, but doesn't break anything. I installed the latest security update today, after which Mail would not launch, with the error message, "You cannon run this version of Mail on this version of MacOS X." There was a new Mail item in /Applicaitons (my unupdated copy lives in /Applications/Communication) with a generic app icon that doesn't launch at all.
I tried copying the package contents from the new version to the old, but that didn't work. (Maybe if I'd logged out or restarted it would have, but I didn't try that.) I called Apple and they had me download a combo update. That did absolutely nothing except waste my time. I called back, and a Mail Specialist said I would need to archive and install from the original disc that came with my computer.
Bad support is so much worse than no help at all. If you don't know what you're doing are not skilled and just reading from a horrible, unhelpful script, say so, and don't make bad suggestions. What a waste of time A. to call support, B. to follow their suggestions, C. it would have been to follow the last of their suggestions.
Actual solution:
Move unupdated Mail.app (and, if you're like me, QuickTime Player, too) to /Applications
Download the security update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586 (one-fifth the size of the combo update)
Run the installer
That's it. That's what support should have told me to do. Of course, shouldn't have had to do this at all; Software Update should be smart enough to update apps wherever they live.At some point, Apple started doing this annoying stupid thing with certain app updates (among them QuickTime Player, and iTunes, and Mail) where if those apps do not reside in /Applications they will not be updated properly.
Correct. It has always been that way in OS X. Applications, particularly from Apple, belong in the Applications Folder, where update installers can find them and link to associated system files that may be updated as well without you realising it. -
Problems after security update 2012-001, 1.1
Two troubling occurrences after this install. Downloading software upgrade from Canon.com, I got Error 404. Reported it; rep said he had one other report like that. He was interested to hear I'd just installed the latest sec. update. He had me try several other urls, both of which gave error 404. He hasn't gotten back to me. Yet.
Second, I applied for the instant credit card from Barclay in order to buy the new iPad. Completed the application and hit submit. The expected "Processing..." mini-window appeared but disappeared within seconds and I was returned to the application screen with no further activity from their side, and no email from them. The site finally timed out.
Any ideas?casey451 wrote:
I will continue to bug Canon.
Even the Apple KB site had a problem of this sort at one time…
It would be surprising if Barclay's, which is directly linked to the Apple site, would be unprepared to receive applications from people using Safari.
I don't know… Nowadays, when it comes to banks, I'm ready to believe anything.
Anyway, check their on-line banking help or support pages, they must state what browsers are supported.
It's perfectly possible that they do support it and the issue is something else -- you may have cookies disabled, or JavaScript turned off, maybe even something related to the update. Again, it's the kind of stuff you should find on their support or help site. -
Printing problems after security update
Any fixes to the printing problems (for me it is with Quicken) after the security update??
DonThere are several threads popping up over in the Mac OS X v10.6 section of ASC about the Security Update.
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: Mac OS & System Software: Apple Support Communities
It seems that the update has killed printing and other functions for some PowerPC Applications.

After downloading Security update 2012-4 1.0 I cannot use mail 4.5
After downloading 5 software updates I can no longer use my Mail 4.5...I downloaded iTunes 10.7, Safari 5.1.7, HP Printer 2.12, Java for Mac OSX 10.6 11 11.0, and Security Update 2012-4 1.0...What now?
Are you clicking on the Mail in the dock? Does it run Mail 4.6 if you click on Mail in your Applications folder?

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?Howdy,

ITunes 10.7 will not launch after installing the OS 10.6.8 security update 2012-004
This evening I installed the Mac OS 10.6.8 security update 2012-004. I'm posting this to see if others have the same problem, plus to find out if there's a way to uninstall a security update.
All was fine before the update, but now iTunes 10.7 won't launch as it quits unexpectedly and gives me a Problem Report to send to Apple (which was sent).
iTunes will also not launch while logged in under other users. I tried rebooting.
My iMac cannot be updated past OS 10.6.8. I can't live without iTunes.
Let me know If I should post more system info.
Thanks for the help,
Carl.You could try downgrading iTunes to an older version?
Just drag the iTunes.app to the trash and reinstall an older version, you should be able to find one in the Support Downloads, this may fix your problem.
Note, iTunes 10.7 is needed for any devices with iOS 6 -

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.

While I wait for apple to fix this issue, is there an easier fix to this than using Time Machine to restore to an earlier version?
Apple just issued an "update on the update" that seems to have fixed the problem (Security Update 2012.001 v1.1, see: http://tidbits.com/article/12768). All my Word 94 apps now seem to function properly. Haven't checked everything yet, but the ability to print has been restored.
Thanks Apple!!!!
