Another way to confirm that an apple security update has been installed?? i.e 2012-001

Hey Guys,
Do we have another way to confirm that a security update has been installed?
Ways that I can check.
Installed Software tab in software update
Acutally run a software update to see if you can acutally download and install it.
Thanks

Open Terminal and type "softwareupdate -l" without the quotes.
To get a list of available updates, type "sudo softwareupdate -iva" (no quotes; admin password required).
To install recommended updates only, type "sudo softwareupdate -irv" (ditto).
There's more here: http://osxdaily.com/2011/01/13/install-mac-os-x-software-updates-terminal/
Please note it can take a while for your system to actually display all the updates you've already installed after typing the first command.

HT6147 If my iPhone and iPad both say I have 7.0.6 and under "General", "Software Update" I receive the message "iOS 7.0.6 Your software is up to date" can I assume that the security patch has been installed and activated?

Yes, you have the Security patch.

You will need to post the exact message, although I would guess that the download was corrupted during download. Did you do it over a wireless network? It may be better to connect straight to the ethernet port and download from there or try going to
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1643
and download directly from there.

Just re-installed itunes and want to down load an app from store.Itunes informs me that my apple I/D has been disabled. Is there any way of re-enabling it, or do I have to create another apple I/D

Just re-installed itunes and want to download app from store. Itunes imforms me that my appleI/D has been disabled. Is there any way that I can keep my I/D by re-enabling it or do I have to create a new apple I/D

Read the tips in this article and see if any of them work for you. You may need to contact iTunes Support in order to get this resolved.

I have had an email saying that my Apple ID password has been reset. This was not by me. Does this mean that someone has accessed my account?

I have received an email saying that my Apple ID has been reset. This wasn't by me!! Does this mean that someone has accessed my account. Tried phoning Apple but they keep sending me emails saying that they have tried but I haven't answered. My number is correct.

Are you sure they say the password has been changed or that *if* you want to change it, then go to a web site and do it there. If the latter, just ignore the email. If the former (and I'm assuming the email is regarding a changed password, but it could mean the security questions have been changed), then using a computer's browser, try logging into icloud.com. If you can do that using the old password, then it's not clear what the email means.

Is there a way to find out if a tracking device has been installed on my phone wiithout my knowledge?

I'm trying to figure out if I have a tracking device (unknowingly) installed on my phone. Is there a way to detect/search and if there is, how do you remove it?

Unless someone had physical access to your iPhone or you jailbroke it, there would be no way anyone could install any sort of tracking app on your iPhone (and without jailbreaking installing any app would require said person to have your Apple ID and password). But if you're really concerned, just restore it. That will remove all applications and data and you can then sync back only the applications and content you wish to have.

Best way to Report on OS and Security Update Status?

Now that our OS X roll-out is nearly complete, we need to be able to get reports on all client mMacs , their OS versions and, more specifically, their security update status.
The "Software Difference" report seems to be falling short on showing the information we're looking for. And the "System Overview" report seems only to show straight OS and point-release level, not security update info.
Can someone recommend a better way to get this information?

I haven't come across a command that can show what updates have been installed, but to see a list of updates that a computer needs, try sending
softwareupdate -l
(that's the lower-case letter L as in "list") through the Send Unix Command (send as root). Here's the full details of the command:
usage: softwareupdate <mode> [<args> ...]
     -l | --list          List all appropriate updates
     -d | --download          Download Only
     -i | --install          Install
          <label> ...     specific updates
          -a | --all          all appropriate updates
          -r | --recommended     only recommended updates
          -u | --url <url> ...     from signed package URLs
     Per-user preferences:
     --ignore <label> ...     Ignore specific updates
     --reset-ignored          Clear all ignored updates

Whenever i try to rent somthing on my apple tv it always askes for my 3 to 4 digit pin number to verify my payment options.it says the code is on my card and i have no idea where that card is or another way to find that code.

It's referring to your credit card, the one associated with your Apple ID in the iTunes Store. The number they want is the rightmost one on the signature strip on the back of the credit card.

I downloaded Lion from the app store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing. Do I have to buy it again to install on my Macbook Pro and iPad or is there another way to do that?

I downloaded Lion from the App Store on to my iMac and did not save it to a thumb before installing. Do I have to buy it again to install it on my Macbook Pro and iPad, or is there another way to do that?
All my electronics are about a year old. iPad is Model MB293LL (4.2.1) only wi-fi - no phone.
MacBook Pro is OSX 10.6.8 Build 10K549. Also have an AT&T iPhone that I basically use as a Palm, since I changed carriers.
Thank you for your help.
ps: I got an error message and it looks like this did not get posted the first time. 2nd try.

Open the Mac App Store on your MacBook Pro
Hold the Option key and click on “Purchases”
Hold the Option key and click on “OS X Lion” from the purchased app list
“Installed’ should now say “Install” which allows you to download OS X Lion.
This assumes you are using the same Apple ID on both computers.
Lion does not get installed on an iPad. It runs iOS.

Action: Apple Security Update / Reaction: System Won't Boot!

Does anyone have an opinion/suggestion about this?
Ever since a failed Security Update, my computer will not boot. I did post my question and listed troubleshooting in a separate post.
Previous Post
I searched and did every suggestion I could find. I can browse my files in Terminal and in disk utility, so my hard drive is spinning, and although I don't dispute the fact that my hard drive could be on its way out (my iMac is 3yrs old), if it was done, I wouldn't be able to see these files.
My question is what is going on with these security updates? Through my searches it is always the same story in that this happens after a failed (and sometimes successful) Security Update. I have also seen the suggestion to restart the computer BEFORE installing the updates, which I should have known and is a great idea, but if this is such a big problem, why doesn't the security update prompt you to restart the computer first?
I am obviously frustrated with this situation. I have backed up my info, so I am not too worried about that, but this issue with the Security Updates seems to happen to a lot of people, and unfortunately, most of them go out and buy new hard drives because some unknowledgeable (or lazy) techie said that their hard drive crashed. There has to be a reason for this. The Security Updates are somehow corrupting files, and I refuse to believe that the only solution to this problem is to either buy a new hard drive or an archive and install the OS. Am I wrong about this? There are enough of us that have this very same issue, to which we deserve a viable solution and not some inevitably useless key strokes during startup.
In my opinion this has everything to do with the Apple Security Update and if it is so important that we, as users, restart our machine before installing these updates, then this should be mentioned or prompted by the Security Update. Apple has dropped the ball with this one. I will continue to search for a solution and will probably end up doing an archive and install. Don't get me wrong, I love my iMac, and for the most part I find the service top notch. It just frustrates me that my problem is not an isolated one, and yet there aren't any feasible solutions.
If anyone has any suggestions and/or comments, I would appreciate all of them.
Thank You.

I have created an Apple ID which has been verified but when I go to download a free app it reverts to an ols (alternate apple ID and not the one that has been verified. I do not know the password for the old Apple ID

I have created an apple ID whiuch has been verified however when I go to download an app mit reverts to an old apple ID and asks for a different password which I do not have. How can I edit or delete the old (alternate) password and ensure that it only refers to the current Apple ID when requesting confirmation. Note the old Apple iD is a gmail account and I read somewhere that you can not edit or delete gmail or me.com apple IDs? Is this the case?

Did you create a brand new account or change an existing Apple ID?

Apple Logic Pro Crashing after Apple Security update

Everytime I try to open up a Logic Project in my 3.0 Ghz Mac Pro Logic will not open and just crashes. This started happening after I updated with the new Apple Security update. Most of the Logic Projects were done when I had the 2.5 Ghz Quad. Not sure if it was the Security update or using the intel mac to open older projects.
My current set-up Apple Mac 3.0 Ghz Xeon chip Configuation. 3 gb of memory.
Any help on this would be a great. I have a performance in three weeks and have to get this sorted out before hand so I can master my instrumentals.

I have the Mac Intel 3.0 as well, and it's working pretty well. I do open up Logic tracks that were created on a G5, with only one big problem, all of the program change boxes become checked. Also, the old environments can cause problems.
I notice your profile says you're running system 10.4.6. If so, you should upgrade to at least 10.4.8. Trashing your preferences is also good, as is repairing permissions. 3 Gig of memory should be fine until you go nuts with plugins.
I've upgraded to 10.4.9, but you have to download the combo install from the Apple web site. The incremental upgrades create problems.
After you've upgraded Logic, try opening up a blank Autoload. If that opens, then the program is working, at least that far. You might have to rebuild your Environment from scratch. No fun, but it will eliminate problems from earlier sequences. Good luck.

Errors after installing Apple security update

I installed the Apple security update released on May 11
(SecUpd2006-003Pan.dmg) last week and started having trouble with
Dreamweaver. I am currently running Mac OS 10.3.9
I receive the following errors when launching the app:
While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, a
JavaScript error occured.
The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
ASP.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
When trying to save a file, I get the following errors and
the file does not save:
While executing onLoad in _beforeSave.htm, the following
JavaScript error(s) occurred: In file _beforeSave: ReferenceError:
beforeSave is not defined.
While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, a
JavaScript error occured.
If I close the file, it will prompt me to save the file and I
get those same errors, but it does save the file before closing it.
I installed the Dreamweaver 8.0.2 updater just to make sure I
had my application up-to-date, but am still getting the
errors.

Kmattingly, welcome, it is a good idea to always Repair Permissions before and after each upgrade. Bootup from the install CD (C key held down) and once the disk mounts (X window) open Disk Utility from the Main Menu under Installer. Choose your drive in the left column then select First Aid, now run the Repair, if it does not repair run it again. Now select the startup volume (with the OS) and run the Repair Permissions, quit Disk Utility.
Now go back up to the Main Menu under Install/Change Startup Disk and select your startup volume then Restart.

HT1222 The Safari update (Dec 3) is still listed on the Apple security updates page.

The Safari update (Dec 3) is still listed on the Apple security updates page, but is not actually available. How will we know when this issue is resolved if Apple does not keep this page current?

Actually that doesn't tell you what the packages are, it just says OS X Security Update as a single item.
It then offers a link for more information which brings us to this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222
The page is very poorly designed. This is what I'm posting about.
I'm seeing Windows Vista updates, Apple TV, Leopard, Lion. Things from 2008.
It would be a trivial matter to instead link directly to the this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5130
that's the actual thing being installed, that's what I want to see.
I mean they might as well just link here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Security+Update+2012-001
LOL, that didn't even work. Google search for the specific package results in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1489
which links back to the HT1222 page which is the list of EVERYTHING.
> If you want more control, there is a unix softwareupdate utility you can use.
Not for these updates. I can update Dovecot or Apache, but these updates are for core Mac services and tweaks like this:
Apache disabled the 'empty fragment' countermeasure which prevented these attacks. This issue is addressed by providing a configuration parameter to control the countermeasure and enabling it by default.

Apple Security Updater 2007-004 1.1

well i hope it didnt mess anything up ? i have applied the Apple Security Updater 2007-004 1.1 not under software update but from a download at macupdate pages i later found out that this update was not for my system as it didnt show up in SU i was wondering if there will be any downfall from from applying it or it just re-applied the same update from the most previous version and the install for other systems was slightly modified ???
thanks for your time and help

I installed the update yesterday, then went home. Today when I booted up the computer I had some weird things happen.
A.) The dual monitor display is reversed. It only straightens out if I physically switch the plugs from each monitor on the back of the G-4. I've never had any problem with dual monitors before on this trusty old work-horse. I'm using old CRT 17" Mags. But I had a Samsung 203B hooked up. That used to work, now it doesn't line up straight, and won't show up as a left monitor either unless I switch the plugs.
B.) In final Cut Pro the program no longer recognizes my player. I use two, a Canon XM1 and a Sony DSR 20. I can control the canon but get no display.
Funny stuff since the upgrade yesterday. But now what do I do?
Thanks
LP
