After security update 2013 it takes forever to get internet. What happened?

After the 2013 security update on iMac it takes forever for internet access and for Parallels 7 to complete launching. How can this be fixed?

I would also report this to Lenovo since posting the issue on the forum is not the same as contacting them directly.
You've not indicated which machine, configuration you have. I would boot and go into the bios since it may have changed something. Save and reboot seeing how it is then.

App crashes after Security Update 2013-002

I have installed Security Update 2013-002 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and now certain apps like Safari, Software Update, Mail, Adobe Reader crash with a segmentation fault. Other apps like Photoshop, Google Chrome work fine.
I found a thread on here of someone who was having a similar problem with Chrome crashing and he fixed it by repairing Disk Permissions but thats not made any difference to me.
Any ideas?

Test in Safe Boot to see if the crashes happen there. MIght also try testing from a different account.
Shift key at the startup chime and expect a much longer time to boot up. No Wi-Fi in Safe Boot, so if that's how you connect you won't be able to go anywhere. But you will be able to see if Safari, or Software Update, for example, are still crashing on open.

No Dock no app switching after security update 2013-001

Been running 10.6.8 very stably for a long time. Yesterday SW update found Security Update 2013-001. The first download didn't succeed, second download went and installed okay, without issue.
On restart (and multiple restarts since), the desktop pattern has reverted to the default space-theme, the Dock is gone, Cmd-Tab won't show or switch among apps, Spaces and Expose are gone, and System Prefs won't fix these. I can select a desktop pattern, but it doesn't change, can enable Spaces, but it doesn't 'stick', etc.
I repaired permissions (a few from an HP printer update a month ago0, and the HD verified without issue. No change.
What is the best course of action? Re-install 10.6.8 updater?   Then what??
-Paul

Update.. here are the things I've done, with no change.   I really don't understand #2; since the cloned drive was well before these issues, yet all symptoms remain, suggests it's a HW/FW setting somewhere. Then I hoped zapping PRAM would straighten it out. No luck. What gives?
1)     Ran 10.6.8 combo updater; no change.
2)     Booted from a drive cloned a week ago, before Security Update: behavior unchanged
3)     Reset PRAM - no change.

After Bios Update through thinkvantage, takes forever for PC to be active

Hi ,
I just wanted to say after lenovo update's very useful update, my pc now takes a good minute after boot-up for it to be responsive. Now, after boot, the connecting to internet circle just spins and stops. during this time, nothing else can be opened. when i click on itunes, the win 7 icon shows that it is active and then it goes dim again as if it was closed again. nothing works until the network is connected.
thanks for the update...not
any suggestions to reverse this other than reinstalling win 7? or do i just have to deal with this inconvinence since lenovo doesnt realize their update actually messes up their systems?

After Security update 2011-005 I my second monitor is black.

Hi Folks,
After security update 2011-005, I colud not get my second display working. I tried safe boot, didn't help, tried different resolutions didn't help. Reboot did not help either.
The second display is detected but it is black.
I am currently on MacOs10.6.8 running on my MacBook Pro.
Peace.

Don't remove any screws to do an SMC reset:
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

After Security updation of Windows 7 in Boot Camp (Mac Book Pro with Retina Display) on 13-Nov-2013, Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets are not working properly.

After Security updation of Windows 7 in Boot Camp (Mac Book Pro with Retina Display) on 13-Nov-2013, Windows 7 Desktop Gadgets are not working properly.
This is boot camp problem, because in other normal notebooks (e.g. SONY VAIO, Lenovo with Windows 7) the gadgets are working normally.
I am attaching the screen shot of Desktop Gadgets and Security updates of Windows 7.
Kindly solve this issue ASAP.

My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after new software (security update 2013-003) installation-- hangs at grey screen with "software update" at top. It also intermittently goes to sleep without my asking. What to do?

My Mac 10.7.5 won't shut down after a new software installation (Security Update 2013-003). It just hangs at a grey screen with "Software Update" at the top. I have to force quit, then restart-- but the new software hasn't installed.
My Mac also intermittently goes into Sleep mode, repeatedly, unprompted by me. I suspect a connection between these two problems.
I have tried deleting the /Library/Updates folder. It hasn't helped. The update still won't install, and my Mac won't shut down without my forcing the quit.
Help please!

Hi, I've just come accross the same problem... did you manage to get a resolution??
Cheers, Chris.

"Security Update 2013-004 can't be saved" WHY?

I'm trying to install updates on my MacBook Pro and I get an error message that says "Security Update 2013-004 can't be saved" and tells me to check my internet connection. Obviously my connection is fine since I'm writing this. I'm trying to update iTunes but it won't do that until this updates? I don't understand why it can't be saved.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line on this page to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:

Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.

Mac Book Pro hangs when installing Security Update 2013-002 (ver 1.0) on Lion 10.7.5

I am running Lion 10.7.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro (late 2011) with the latest software updates and everything has been working perfectly.
Last night I tried to do a Software Update and it said there is a Security Update 2013-002 (ver 1.0) recommended. I installed it and the progress bar went to about 50% and then stopped. I waited more than 2 hours and the mac locked up. Had to do a hard reboot. Tried to install this Security update again after rebooting. The mac froze again (spinning wheel).
Any ideas?

OK. Let's try running the computer in Safe Mode then a normal restart. The initial startup into safe mode will take some time so be patient. A progress bar will eventually appear then disappear. Once safe mode is complete you will see a login window. Login with the desired account and password. Wait for the startup to fully complete before restarting. The point here is to clear some caches and other files that may become corrupted.
If you happen to own a utility such as Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner I would use it to clear out all the user, system, and font caches. An immediate restart is needed upon completion. At least this way we can rule out corrupted caches.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions About OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utility is: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior for defragmentation of older drives, disk repair, disk scans, formatting, partitioning, disk copy, and benchmarking.
Four outstanding sources of information on Mac maintenance are:
1. OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
2. Mac maintenance Quick Assist
3. Maintaining Mac OS X
4. Mac Maintenance Guide
Periodic Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) See Mac OS X- About background maintenance tasks. If you are running Leopard or later these tasks are run automatically, so there is no need to use any third-party software to force running these tasks.
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced after Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
Defragmentation
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive except when trying to install Boot Camp on a fragmented drive. But you don't need to buy third-party software. All you need is a spare external hard drive and Carbon Copy Cloner.
Cheap and Easy Defragmentation
You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive. You will use Carbon Copy Cloner to create the backup and to restore it.
1. Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the
       external one.
2. Boot from the external hard drive.
3. Erase the internal hard drive.
4. Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
Clone the internal drive to the external drive
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the left side dropdown menu.
3. Select the Destination volume from the left side dropdown menu.
4. Be sure the Block Copy button is not depressed or is ghosted.
5. Click on the Clone button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears. Select the icon for the external drive and click on the upward pointing arrow button.
After startup do the following:
Erase internal hard drive
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the
       mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the
       drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is
       failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be
       reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the
       DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the
       drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
       (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
       GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait
       until the process has completed.
Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Select the Source volume from the left side dropdown menu.
3. Select the Destination volume from the left side dropdown menu.
4. Be sure the Block Copy button is not selected or is ghosted.
5. Click on the Clone button.
Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.
Malware Protection
As for malware protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. Starting with Lion Apple has included built-in malware protection that is automatically updated as necessary.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection:
1. Mac Malware Guide.
2. Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware
3. Macintosh Virus Guide
For general anti-virus protection I recommend only using ClamXav, but it is not necessary if you are keeping your computer's operating system software up to date. You should avoid any other third-party software advertised as providing anti-malware/virus protection. They are not required and could cause the performance of your computer to drop.
Cache Clearing
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache files can cause slowness, kernel panics, and other issues. Although this is not a frequent nor a recurring problem, when it does happen there are tools such as those above to fix the problem.
For emergency cleaning install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (AppleJack works with Snow Leopard or earlier.)
Installing System Updates or Upgrades
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Backup and Restore
Having a backup and restore strategy is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your computer. Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
2. Deja Vu
3. SuperDuper!
4. Synk Pro
5. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space. Avoid installing utilities that rely on Haxies, SIMBL, or that alter the OS appearance, add features you will rarely if ever need, etc. The more extras you install the greater the probability of having problems. If you install software be sure you know how to uninstall it. Avoid installing multiple new software at the same time. Install one at a time and use it for a while to be sure it's compatible.

HT1222 Cannot download Security Update 2013-01. It always aborts. Why?

Every time I run "Software Update", I get one result: Security Update 2013-01. But when I try to download the update, after telling me it will take 12-14 hours, it aborts and says it may be corrupt. Can I get the update on a disk?

You could try downloading the update directly from Apple's website, outside of Software Update, then applying it. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1642

Applications not responding apparently after Security Update 2007-009

Mail, iTunes, Skype, MSN Messenger, MainMenu, Emule, Safari and god know what else aren't responding after Security Update 2007-009.
Hi,
I recently purchased a new phone that does not work with macs, so I bought an application from Feisar to make it work. The application isn't freeware, so I think it is very unlikely that it bogused my system. Anyway, I installed the software, but only afterwards noticed it didn't work for my phone model with the USb interface, only through bluetooth, which I don't have. Moreover, and, in my opinion, more importantly, I also downloaded and installed security update 2007-009. After the update, I mandatorily restarted OS X and instantly noticed Mail, iTunes, Safari, Skype and Messenger not working. I click on them on the dock, they bounce (usually once, but it has occured to be more) and nothing happens. I don't get the little arrow below the icon. I see the applications in the applications folder, so they are not missing. I searched and searched on the internet and, apparently it is, to say the least, herculeanly complicated to downgrade from a software update. I tried to repair permissions and it didn't work. I tried the apple hardware test and everything came out perfect. I restarted many times and the same keeps happening.
So I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
This is the error message I get:
Command: Installer

I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack (which reapetedly said that I had a "fan failure!"), I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing.
The most likely line to follow here is the "fan failure" message in apple jack. I looked inside my g5 and all fans except for the one close to the Hard Drives aren't spining. I'm not sure this means they aren't functional or whether the temperature isn't high enough for it to be turned on. Temperature must be around 26-28 degrees Celsius today. There is nothing on the internet about that fan failure that's close enough to my case.
I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

Maybe it is a security update thing! I have had similar troubles with my CS2 and other simple apps like TextEdit not opening, just doing that single bounce... I have tried EVERYTHING and now, after reinstalling my entire system, have lost access to my own user profile.
I'm assuming you have tried starting up with your original system install disk in the computer, while you turn it on, hold the option key, it will allow you to run another hardware check, as well as to do an archive install if it comes down to that.
good luck, please let me know if you find out something else that might be causing the problems... i've noticed that alot of mac threads have similar probs listed.

Kdcmond could not launch, after security update Nov 09,OS 10.5,Powerbook g4

Powerbook G4 will not boot past the grey screen with spinning wheel after latest security update from Apple.
In safe mode: kdcmond could not launch is reported.
I DO NOT HAVE EASY ACCESS TO INSTALLATION DISKS.
Please post suggestions that are viable using rm or vi in safe mode.
It will take the IT department weeks to get around to fixing this so I am hoping for usable responses in the short term.
Powerbook G4 1GB os 10.5.7 to 8 Grey Screen/crash with exceptions after security update.
Took corrective actions using Disk Utility then Applejack with no success. Deleted Library/Prefernces/SystemConfiguration files: NetworkInterfaces.plist, com.apple.airport.preferences.plist, and preferences.plist to get them to regenerate. The exception is gone but now, kdcmond could not launch is reported due to no localhost name found.

No suggestions from anyone so I am giving up and returning the PC to IT. I will leave the thread open in case anyone comes up with any ideas for future reference.

Installation error for security update 2013-004 version 1.0

Hi,
I receive a 'unexpected error' message when I try to install security update 2013-004 version 1.0. I have tried updating from computer and manually downloading 'security update 2013-004', but still receive the exact same error message. I'm on a macbook pro mid 2011, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5.

Try verifying your hard disk with Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
After launching Disk Utility, in the left pane, click on the name of your hard disk.
In the right pane, click the First Aid tab and then click the Verify Disk button.
If the result is OK, then click the button to Repair Disk Permissions.
If the Verify Disk test result reports errors, you will need to reboot the computer in Recovery HD and use Disk Utility there to repair the disk. See instructions by Kappy.
Afterwards, try installing the security update again.
As for the cause of the unexpected error, look at the log reports with Console in the Utilities folder.
