Airport icon grey after installing software update Security Update 2007-004

Yesterday I installed Security Update 2007-004 (10.3.9 Client)(April 19, 2007) and since then when I wake-up my iBook (which was functioning fine prior to closing it and puting it to sleep) the airport icon is greyed out. The only way to get the airport icon to be black (functioning)is to restart the iBook.
Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone have any ideas. I an running 10.3.9 on a 2 USB port G3 iBook with a snow airport.
Thanks.

Have you tried the simple solution posted by quovadis?

  • After Software Update 2007-004 airport card stopped working after wakeup

    Hi,
    I have a powerbook G4 - DVI running 10.3.9. After I have installed Software Update 2007-003, when my computer goes to sleep and then wakes up, airport card stops working. I had to open the back of the computer, unplug and plug the airport card, then it starts working again. But next time the computer goes to sleep, it stops working again.
    Does anyone have a similar problem? Any work arounds?
    Thanks in advance.
    Also following is the logs from Software Update. Looks suspicious:

  • MacBook Pro hanging with blue screen and spinner after installing Software Update

    Hi I was wondering if someone could help me with this current issue. Just a few hours ago I finished reinstalling Mac OS X Snow Leopard in my MacBook Pro. I performed a clean installation as part of a yearly spring cleaning that I do on all my systems to keep them optimized. So there was I downloading some software updates which included the combo update of OSX 10.6.8 and others. The updates finished downloading and the system logged out to install the updates, when the updates finished installing my MacBook proceeded by logging out into a blue screen and show a gray spinner similar to the one seen when you start your Mac. Here's the problem after 2 hours the system is showing the spinner and the blue screen, I think that my computer has just hanged in the reboot process.
    I was wondering what should I do? Do a force restart? Or leave it overnight?
    Also, where can I find any information on what error is causing this issue?
    I appreciate your responses and help.
    By the way, I installed Mac OS X from a USB stick that has the original image of the disk installer that came bundled with my computer.

    Force a shutdown. Do not restart yet, but first do the following:
    Repair the Hard Drive
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Next, boot into Safe Mode then restart normally.
    Hi Kappy,
    Checked the hard drive after forcing a shutdown and booting from my Snow Leopard Installer USB Key and the status of the HDD says "Verified". I ran the repair and the volume was repaired successfully. Clicked on "Verify Disk" and it says "Macintosh HD appears to be OK". So I ran a second repair and again no errors were reported.
    As suggested I booted back again in Safe Mode and restarted normally. All software appears to have been installed successfully. But I don't understand why my computer hanged and showed the spinner after installing the updates in the blue screen that appears just before rebooting. I am aware that the system shows that spinner after a OS update but the longest it lasts is 30 seconds at the most in my previous cases.

  • Time capsule stopped working after installing software update, no lights and reset did nothing.  What do I do?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Freepisces
    I have all the latest updates on my Macs, and I have no problem at all.
    If you applied the latest (7.4.1) QT update, your problem may be due to the fact that the System Requirements for QuickTime 7.4.1 for Tiger include Mac OS X 10.4.9 or later, and you show that you are using Mac OS X (10.4.3). You can check which QT version you have installed using the QuickTime Player > About QuickTime Player menu command.
    If your QT version is an older one that is compatible with your Mac OS, and if you have not done so since you applied the QT update, repairing permissions may help you.
    If the problem is somehow related to your iSight rather than to your QT software, Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight may help you identify and fix your problem.
    Unless you have a compelling reason for not doing so, you should consider updating to the latest version of Tiger (10.4.11). To find out what improvements you are missing by staying with 10.4.3, see some of the "About the Mac OS X 10.4.xx Update" documents for updates later than 10.4.3. A couple of examples are:
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.6 Update (combo) and
    • About the Mac OS X 10.4.11 Update
    If you are interested, other "About..." documents are linked in this search list.
    Because System Requirements for the latest combo applicable to your MacBook, Mac OS X 10.4.11 Combo Update (Intel), are for Mac OS X 10.4.4 or later, you will need at least two steps to upgrade from your Mac OS X (10.4.3), so pay careful attention to the System Requirements of any updates you plan to apply.

  • Safari Hangs After Installing Software Update

    I did a software update a few days ago, which included a security update (PowerMac G5 2.0GHz running Leopard). After that, I was having trouble connecting to the internet (everything said I was connected except that I couldn't actually connect). That seems to be fixed, but now Safari launches and hangs when trying to load the home page (Apple's start page), requiring me to force quit it.
    I tried changing firewall setting and deleting the plist file, but nothing seems to work. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance

    Ok, I tried using OnyX, and no change. I am, however, not able to connect at all to the internet. This problem also started right after the software update, but it seemed to only last for a little while. Now, whenever trying to connect to my iDisk, I get an error code -5016, saying I can't connect to the server.
    It was working fine before the software update, and my iBook G4 also had problems after it (but it was only a check in the firewall settings), so I suspect some settings were changed in the security update, but I don't know what.

  • After installing software update and restart, mail no longer opens.

    After I installed a software update on 9-20-12, I got a message that "this version of Mail doesn't work with Mac OS X...open Mail from the applications folder."  I tried this, but nothing happens when I click on the different looking mail icon.  I dragged it to the desktop, was asked if I wanted to replace an older copy, so I said yes...now the icon is there to click on--nothing happens.  This was not a major software update, just the updates that pop up periodically for software already installed.  I have had 10.6.8 since computer was purchased...just a software update, no new version of anything, yet now my mail won't open.  Any ideas?  I have a backup from about 3 weeks ago...can I use this to uninstall this terrible update?  It was a security update...secured my mail (from me!!).

    Your Apple-installed Applications need to stay in the top-level Applications folder. If you have moved them, they will not be updated properly and may even be disabled or trashed.
    Find the Mail Application, and be sure it is back in /Applications folder. Make sure there are no duplicates in other folders.
    If it is still not working, you will need to run the Security Update (manually).
    If it is gone, you will need to run the Combo update to install it again.

  • Starting Problems after installing Software Update SecUpd2009-001ppc.pkg

    Hey Guys,
    After installing the SecureUpdate from January 2009 today my iMac just seems to freeze at startup. Only thing appears is the grey apple and the loading animation.
    *Already tried Disk Utility, fsck, and Safe Startup.*
    +-Disk Utility doesn't find any problems+
    +-fsck doesn't find any problems either+
    +-Safe Startup just doesn't work+
    What i found here in the discussion forum is the solution with the terminal. Only thing is that I won't get further till following point 6:
    *(post from nleoncavallo )*
    0. Use a second computer to download the update to a USB drive. (in theory, I imagine the update is somewhere on the hard drive, but I don't know where)
    1. Boot from the original install CD (pressing the "C" key while the computer starts)
    2. Get up to the point of the installation screen, then start Terminal
    3. type "mount" to see a list of the volumes
    4. type "find /Volumes/thenameoftheUSB/*.dmg" to get the full path of the update file (so you can copy it and paste it in step 5).
    5. type "hdiutil attach /Volumes/thenameoftheUSBdrive/pathoftheupdate/SecUpd2008-008Intel.dmg" (now you have mounted the update file)
    *6. type "/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Security\ Update\ 2008-008/SecUpd2008-008Intel.pkg -target /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD"*
    7. Exit Terminal and select "Startup Disk" and reboot.
    I _already checked Typo_ and i am really going crazy about this. What terminal replys:
    +"-bash: /Volumes/Macintosh HD/usr/sbin/installer: No such file or directory"+
    Can somebody help me?

    Thank you for your fast reply!
    Maybe I should have made it clearer. This problem I've got adheres with the software update I've installed. I tried the solutions out you send me with your link but they didn't help me out. Thing is, that i forgot to say:
    After a while the grey screen disappears and instead a blue screen comes to vision. But thats it. Then nothing happens anymore.
    So far, the terminal thing gives me the most trustful feeling in this. So I still need help!

  • After installing software updates, PB won't boot up completlely HELP!

    I posted earlier about my problem but on the wrong forum. I'm new to this forum and I'm a new mac owner in desperate need of your help!!
    Yesterday a few software updates needed to be installed so I did, they were minor- iTunes, iTunes Phone Driver, Microsoft Office, and a security update. I installed all the software with no problems until it wanted to restart. I let it do its thing, but after 10 or 15 minutes it would not boot up so I held down the power button and shut it off. It wasn't making any peculiar sounds except that after 10 minutes the crunching noise that the hard drive makes became sort of sporadic and lost consistency.
    Since then I have rest the PRAM, ran disk utility off my OS X installation disk and repaired the disk and permissions all with no progress. The repairs came back "appears to be ok." I also ran the hardware test and the results, once again, came back "ok."
    I've been reading through forums for the past day or so and haven't found anything quite like my situation. If someone could talk me through some other options to fix this, I would really appreciate it. I'm stumped and in a bit of a pickle. I really need my PB for school and am over 4 hours away from the nearest mac store.
    Whoever reads this will cringe when I say I haven't backed anything up... I'm not worried about losing music or pictures or other documents but I am concerned about losing my apps- I'm an art major and I really need all my photoshop, illustrator, flash, etc... I don't have the original disks for those programs since the computer belonged to my mom who is a graphic designer and got those programs through her work.
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me. You're a saint if you can offer any helpful advice.
    Thanks so much,
    Scurvie :0)

    Hi s,
    Was the PB working without any issues before this?
    Exactly what happens when you try to boot normally?
    I'm wondering if you did a hard shutdown (last resort) in the middle of your PB installing/arranging tens of thousands of files, so now there is software and potentially firmware corruption (something like a brain surgeon sewing your head up only halfway through the operation).
    Have you tried booting into Safe Mode?
    If you get the PB booted again, repair permissions (not from the install disc).
    Run Software Update, but never let it install more than one update at a time, and repair permissions before and after each update. If you want to be safer yet, go to Apple Downloads and download the update from there, then install it. Enough people have reported issues using SU that I never install from there. Also, if you're really running 10.4.1, that should be your first order of business; you should update to 10.4.11.
    If you have another Mac available to you, see if yours will boot into FireWire Target Disk Mode.
    Now that you've learned about backing up, I'm sure you'll go out and buy a FireWire external HD, and if you get the PB working properly again, clone the PB's internal HD to the external. If you ever have software issues again, you can simply clone the latest backup back onto the PB's HD and be ready to go from that point.

  • Brand New 27" iMac i5 will not boot after installing software updates

    I just purchased my new iMac 2 nights ago. I have been getting it setup with my apps, mobile me account, etc, and luckily just setup time machine and let it do a full backup.
    I just ran Software Update for the first time, and now the machine will not boot. It hangs on the grey screen for about 1 minute before the Apple logo comes up. About 30 seconds after the Apple logo comes up, the grey spinning gear shows up, and about 1 minute after that I get the grey screen of death (You must restart your computer).
    Any suggestions? A little frustrated here....

    If you mean did I receive error messages, No, I didn't. However, the desktop reverted to the default purple night-sky looking thing, my applications and such all disappeared from the dock, and I couldn't open any files or folders (you don't have permission to ...), etc. I tried signing out and back in, rebooting, using a second admin account on the computer, creating a new admin account, etc. I ran Disk Utility, hardware checker, etc. No errors were found, and nothing changed. I could see all my files and folders, but they had a small red circle in the corner, indicating "locked" or "no permission".
    I'll find the lines from the console log if that will help. The error showed up immediately and is in the computer's attempt to access the user/library/application support/sync services and same path to user/library/logs/sync services/log. (or something reasonably close to this. If you can use the exact path, I will get it) The link between my settings and files, and a password is apparently corrupted or something, so that the computer won't even let me change the desktop or any file, so I can't save, edit or discard anything, and can't drag files to another computer on the home network.
    At least I'm still under the 90 day warranty, so I can call tomorrow. At this point, the SMART check says the drive is good, so I assume it's software. The only things new are the three auto Apple software updates I installed yesterday, so I immediately suspect them. But who knows?
    Does this help you at all?

  • Newbie: Macbook unresponsive after installing software updates

    Hi y'all.
    So, this macbook is my first Mac ever, so please bear with me if I'm asking an obvious question.
    My problem is that I just got my macbook home, went through the registration, and began installing the software updates. After updating, the computer wanted to restart. After restarting, I cannot get the pointer or the keyboard to respond. I tried booting up and running the Install Disk #1 to try running disk utilities, however, I don't think my holding down the "D" or "C" keys is registering. Since there's no pinhole to forcibly eject the CD, that's now stuck in my CD/DVD drive.
    Any ideas? Or is there somewhere else on this board I should look for the answer? Unfortunately, since I'm so new to Macs, I'm not sure what to do at this point.
    Thanks so much for your help.
    Emily

    hello, dark horse.
    thank you for the suggestion. the problem is/was that the keyboard was completely frozen. i couldn't boot into safe mode, i couldn't type in a password, or type anything else for that matter and have it recognized. i attached an external USB mouse and restarted and THAT worked, but i didn't have a USB keyboard.
    so i took the machine back to apple. they said my macbook definitely shouldn't have been acting up like that, especially on it's very first day, so they replaced it with the new one i'm using right now.
    not sure what the problem was with it. i'll give apple a second chance and see how this macbook behaves. it seems like this one is running cooler, too...

  • Imac 11,2 running slower after installing software updates

    I purchased my imac 11,2 Sept. 2010. I recently downloaded my software updates that included airport utility, itunes and canon printer software update. Since these downloads, the imac has been very slow. Does anybody have any suggestions why my imac runs slower after software updates and what can be done to get my imac back to previous speed.

    isis24680,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Did you run Disk Utility> Repair Permissions? Do you have your eMac in display-only sleep overnight, or use a utility such as OnyX, or otherwise ensure the Unix crom maintenenace scripts run? OS X 10.4.2 (in 7/05) included provision to force the maintenance scripts when sufficiently oberdue; it's possible you're seeing the Mac trying to catch up on a year-plus worth of maintenance.
    Do you have anything showing in System Preferences> Others, especially anything that adds to the menu bar? You'll need to check that any add-on system utilities or background programs are updated to run properly under 10.4.6; a quick way to check is to Start Up in Safe Mode and see if performance returns to normal.
    Open Applications> Utilities> Activity Monitor, show all tasks, and sort the list by CPU. Is their anything regularly showing up at more than say 15% of the CPU usage?

  • MacBook (Mid 2009) won't turn on after installing software updates.

    My macbook white (mid 2009) won't turn on. I was going to install mountain lion so I performed a software update. I click install and reboot. It installed within a few minutes, but when it was rebooting the apple logo and the buffering sign popped up, and that went on over night. So I held down the power button to turn it off. It did the same thing, what should I do?

    Not the right time to update and go to sleep. What updates? How much free space was on the hard drive?
    Try inserting the OS installer disk in the optical drive and powering up holding down the c key.

  • Motion 3 still freezing after after MBP Software Update 1.1

    I have just started to use Motion 3 with my new Hi Rez 17" MBP and had a couple of occasions where Motion would freeze completely with the only option being to turn off the MBP and reboot it. I checked the Motion discussions and found that a lot of people had been having trouble with Intel MBP's and Motion after software update 1.0. I was pleased to hear that software update 1.1 was supposed to fix the issues and duely downloaded and installed it.
    However, in the past 3 hours I have been trying to work on a motion project (a pretty simple one at that) and motion would have FROZEN AT LEAST 6 TIMES. Disappointed to say the least!
    Has anyone else with a similar MBP experienced the same issues with Motion 3 after installing software update 1.1? As it is Motion is next to impossible to use and because the app is not crashing I can't even send off a report to Apple.
    Cheers
    Pete

    Hi Jose,
    Although we don't seem to be any closer to a fix, its good to know I'm not the 'Lone Ranger' on this issue.
    A bit more info, in case somebody has any ideas. Since my post, at the suggestion from the guys I bought the MBP from I ran the Extended Hardware Test on the OSX install CD in case I might have some issues with something like the MBP's memory (I am running the full 4GB of RAM by the way). It came up completely fine.
    Another thing is that I noticed today that there is a new software update available - the 'MacBook MacBook Pro Software Update 1.0'. It doesn't say in the notes that it has anything to do with any motion fixes but I found the naming convention a bit strange. Maybe this is normal but just because they stick 'MacBook' in front I would have thought Apple would have given a different version number considering MacBook Pros have already had a software update 1.0. I was wondering if I try to run software update 1.1 again whether this might have the desired effect but I think I am probably clutching at straws.
    Any other feedback is greatly appreciated.
    Cheers
    Pete

  • 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??

  • Airport Problems after Security Update 2007-004

    Ever since I've installed Security Update 2007-004 my Airport connection has been dropping about every 15 to 30 minutes. Sometimes Airport will stay connected but will stop working until I renew my DHCP lease (I get the same IP though). When it drops I click on the Airport icon to reconnect but my network doesn't always show up. Sometimes I have to turn Airport off and back on again to make it show up, and a few times I've had to reset my computer to make it show up.
    I have a MacBook Pro with an 802.11n card. I'm using two different routers; one at work, and one at home. The work router is a Linksys N router while the one at home is a Linksys G router.
    I've tried all the tricks. Repairing Permissions, deleting the extension caches, installing the standalone updater, but nothing is working.
