Any Problems With Security Update 2006-002

Hi a few weeks ago I updated my PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.3.9 to Apple Security Update 2006-001 and instantly my Dock Meny dissappeared after installation and Safari broke. My Dock Menu returned after installation but Safari remained broken.
In the end I simply reinstalled Mac OS X Panther from scratch, recreated my user account and copied my data (I had it saved) back to my Mac.
I don't want to run the risk of something like this happening again. I do not have Apple Security Update 2006-001 installed at this time but I do have Apple Security Updates from 2005 installed and 10.3.9 on my system.
If I install Apple Security Update 2006-002 on my Mac (will be updating from 2005 security updates) - not updating 2006-001 to 2006-002 but installing first 2006 Security Update for the first time could I run into any problems?
Want to hear from other users who have installed this update - have updated from 2006-001 and preferrably anyone who is installing this update directly (not over 2006-001) before updating myself.

Ive got some serious problems with 2006-001 (and they wernt cured by installing 2006-002).
Photoshop and flash mx stopped working and I am unable to reinstall either!
Ive deleted all prefs, caches, everything associated with these apps.
Ive tried installing different versions of both apps - but to no avail.
Ive repaired disk permissions (even in single user mode) - and while that did straighten out a few incorrect permissions and uid's it did'nt fix my problems.
Totally at the end of my tether now, and getting impatient with Apple - this is my livelyhood and I cant afford to have downtime!
The "broken webkit" fiasco at the back end of last year was bad enough, but this just takes the p*!
Not happy - but hopeful that someone has a fix (preferably one that doesn't involve archive and restore)....

  • Problems with Security Update 2006-002

    Hi there,
    I have problems with latest security update. I do not know what went wrong, but after installing "Security Update 2006-002 (PowerPC)" (1.0) on 2006-03-14 15:52:40 +0100: with Software Update from Tiger, my desktop (and probably not only desktop) is damaged.
    The most visible thing is that all .html and .htm documents on my desktop does not have Safari icon anymore, they have some 'blank' icon and doubleclick on them DOES NOT start-up Safari, why?
    See here on the screenshot: http://www.jirkacech.com/files/Tiger-problemy-screeshot.png
    note blank "apple - start.webarchive" also the Safari itself have somehow damaged icon, to same blank thing with triangle, possibly some 'generic app' or 'default.app' icon. It sits in the dock on 5th from left...(dont worry about real safari icon, that's newly added by me)
    Also, on, second screenshot, http://www.jirkacech.com/files/Tiger-problemy-2.png you see that safari itself have some strange icon.
    I am getting crazy, since I do not know what else is broken by last update.
    I have tryed to repair permissions at least 3x, and also run update_prebindings and reboot, delete all system and user caches, and reboot.
    Whole issue is system-wide, not only for one user.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   1.33 GHz, 512 MB, 12-inch

    The first thing you can try, if this is limited only to Safari icons, is to select on such icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select Safari from the dropdown menu as the default app. Then click on the Change All button.
    If this doesn't resolve the problem or if the problem extends to other appicons as well, then you may have some disk corruption resulting from not repairing the hard drive and permissions before doing the update. I suggest you do that:
    Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, 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 click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) 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.

  • Problem with Security Update 2006-002

    I have downloaded and installed the latest security update (2006-002) on my iBook running 10.3.9. As a result apparently all my Keychain related functionality is gone: Keychain Access blocks forever trying to display the password of an entry, and, more annoying, all possibility of connecting to my WiFi network (WEP key) is also gone.
    I recreated a default Keychain, and tried to log on to the wifi network: the password dialog blocks forever here too.
    I tried to track down what are the components changed by 2006-002, and the list is really long (I'm lost in there). The only indice I have about the problem is my Library/<myusername>/console.log where I have entries of the type:
    Keychain Agent [318] NSKeychain is now obsolete!
    Keychain Agent [318] NSKeychainItem is now obsolete!
    Keychain Agent [318] NSKeychainSearch is now obsolete!
    I suspect some libraries have been changed by the update but my keychain software hasn't.
    Does anybody knows of a workaround? I'll backup and reformat/reinstall 10.3 tomorrow (after buying a pack of CDRs) but I'm rather annoyed to have to spend one or two days downloading and reinstalling all the software I need.

    Thierry,
    Great!
    A lot of individuals (myself included) believe that repairing permissions before and after an update will keep problems from ocurring.
    Glad it worked for you!

  • Any problems with security update?

    I don't see any posts about the security updates now available through Software Update. I'm in the middle of a critical project, and was wondering if anybody had any warnings or tips based on their experience.
    I know the usual stuff--permissions, backup, etc.
    Tx!

    I would recommend against it right now, unless it addresses something specifically causing you a problem. I haven't seen anything reported and I haven't had anything act up myself. But a good rule of thumb is never do any upgrades in the middle of a critical project or just before a big deadline. It just doesn't pay to tempt Murphy.

  • Address Book & Mail crash after Security Update 2006 002 1.1

    hello,
    I recently installed Security Update 2006 002 v1.1 on my iBook G4 and since then Address Book has crashed on launch (also when launching from the Dashboard and from within Mail), and Mail now crashes when pasting text into a new message. I tried repairing permissions with Disk Utility and checking the locations of the apps. So far, nothing's helped.
    I've read similar problems on the discussions but haven't found any solutions. If I've missed something, please pass me a link - if not, any ideas?
    thank you
    scott

    Scott:
    The best way to preserve your data, preferences and settings it to do an Archive and Install. When you use that method the installer places your User Folder with the data etc. in a Previous Systems Folder and you retrieve them following the installation. Of course, before any major operation like that it is wise to backup those things, anyway, just in case something goes wrong.
    Here are some suggestions on installation:
    Tiger: Archive and Install (with a Clean Install Option)
    If you have the Full Retail Version of Tiger (computer specific disks for your computer) here is what you do.
    1. Warning: Although we will use Archive and Install there is always a risk something can go wrong. As a precaution back up your User Folder and any third party applications you can't afford to lose.
    2. Check to see if you have the latest Firmware Update. Note: You must be in OS 9 to update firmware
    3. Boot from the install disk holding down the C key.
    4. Once booted go to the Utilities Menu and open Disk Utility.
    To do a clean install see Notes below
    5. Run Repair Disk. If there are problems, run it until no problems are reported. If it reports that it can't repair the problems you might need TechTool Pro or Disk Warrior.
    6. While still in Disk Utility run Repair Permissions.
    7. Quit Disk Utility and open the Installer.
    8. Choose the option to Archive and Install. This saves your data in a Previous Systems folder, which you can retrieve after installation.
    9. You might want to Customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations and Additional Printer Drivers to save Hard Drive space.
    10. Proceed with installation.
    11. After installation is complete computer will restart. Follow prompts and set up computer.
    12. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility) and Repair Permissions.
    13. Go online and download updates, or go to Software Update under the Apple Menu and update your OS.
    14. Transfer your User Folder from Previous Systems folder.
    NOTE (below):
    To do a clean install:
    Follow steps 1 through 4 above.
    a. In Disk Utility select your HD in left panel and Erase in main panel.
    b. Be sure Volume Format is Mac OS Extended and the checkbox Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed is checked.
    c. Select Options at bottom left in Erase panel. WARNING! This procedure will erase the contents of your entire HDD. Be sure you back up anything you cannot afford to lose!
    Select option to zero all data. Click OK. Click Erase.
    This process will take a while, so this is a good time to take a long walk or call your mother
    d. After HDD is erased resume at No. 7 above.
    Post back with any questions or comments.
    Good luck.

  • After Security update 2006-002, RAM is halved

    Hi,
    Right after applying the Security Update 2006-002, I experienced a freeze upon wake-up from sleep. And a general application slowdown.
    A fleeting look past the About this Mac window surprisingly revealed that the system now identifies the two additional (trusty for 8 months or so) OWC 1GB RAM modules as 512kb only. Startup memory test is reported as failed - But the modules are still listed as OK.)
    I tried putting the modules in another bank. This works, after restart memory is identified correctly and system breezes. Unfortunately, another restart brings things back to the original, 1.5GB state.
    Resetting nvram (reset-nvram, set-defaults, reset-all) in OF also mostly has the same effect: First restart restores things back to normal, second restart brings the problem back.
    Having read about the recent PB problems where a system update aparently disabled one memory slot, something tells me it's not the RAM modules themselves. (Yes, they check out fine in memory tests.)
    Any ideas?
    Best,
    Ben

    Problem disappeared after I caved in and bought new RAM (Kingston Value Ram) as recomended by / from a local dealer. I am inclined to think this in fact was a defect in the RAM modules themselves, OWC has issued a RMA on them and I'm sending them back. Thanks!

    The problem I had occurred when trying to start any Office V.x app (Word, Excel, Powerpoint), either by clicking a Dock icon, or double-clicking the app icon.
    Double-clicking a document (.doc, .xls, .ppt) launched the relevant application without problem.
    I didn't find any other application that had the problem while 3ivx D4 v4.5.1 was installed, but did not search very far (e.g., Safari, Internet Explorer, Mail, iTunes, iPhoto all worked, but didn't try much else).
    Any hints in the crash log? That's where I found the line about the 3ivx codec.
    Is your install of Office V.x updated to latest? (which is not terribly recent, iirc, V10.1.6, at http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx#OfficeX).

  • Can't mount movie DVDs after Security Update 2006-002

    I installed Security Update 2006-002 today after all the preparation recommended by MacFixit. Everything came up fine, EXCEPT:
    Movie DVDs (e.g., as rented from Blockbuster) no longer mount.
    Yesterday, there was no problem.
    Dual G5 2.5 GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    The following link describes MacFixit's recommendation for installation of 10.4.6, but it is basically the same recommendation as they have given for quite a while for any significant system update, including security updates:
    http://www.macfixit.com/index.php?date=2006-04-03
    Scroll down until you see "Update process recommendation".
    In my case, I had followed the "more cautious route" of this procedure but still had a problem, and then the problem went away when I did a (presumably extra) pre-binding.
    For system-wide updates (that is, 10.4.x -> 10.4.(x+1)) I've always used combo updaters rather than the supposedly specific-and-therefore-smaller updaters when updating the system. For the security update in question here, I downloaded the updater from the Apple site rather than use Software Update.
    Hope this helps.

  • Font problems post Security Update 2006-02?

    This refers to Security Update 2006-02 v 1.0 as well as the elusive Security Update 2006-02 v 1.1.
    For instance, Symbol dosern't work anymore in Keynote 2, or in fact in Text Edit.
    Anyone else noticed this? If so, any ideas for possible solutions?

    I think I'm wrong about this?
    Apparently, Symbol-like characters have to be entered via the Character Palette, and not via Format > Font > Show Fonts.
    I've managed to avoid knowing this all along, because my use of such symbols has been copy and paste from MathType into maths presentations.
    Sweet understanding at last!

  • Any problem with reinstalling updates?

    Hi. I have a simple question: Is there any problem with reinstalling the OS X updates, or reinstalling the combo update? That is, I'm running 10.4.7 now. Can I (re)install the the combo update over this already updated OS X? Will this mess anything up? Is it something even worth trying when troubleshooting?
    (This is another topic altogether, but FWIW, I'm trying to track down intermittent problems I have logging in, or the system unable to launch apps or shut down.)
    20" Intel iMac Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   1GB ram

    Hi deepermotive, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Yes, you can safely apply the 10.4.7 Combo Updater. It does not matter if you have applied it before. This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing.
    This may help your other issues, if not post back.

  • I need help with the Security Update 2006-002!

    Security update has really screwed up the two systems I've installed it on:
    1) My G4 PowerBook refused to reboot after the update, getting only as far as the initialApple screen. Rebooting with a 10.4 install disk and using Disk Utilities to try to repair the disk either results in an "Unable to unmount disk" error, or if Repair does proceed, it is unable to repair the disk. I get a "Invalid node structure" error message, then a "Rebuilding B-Tree" message, then a "The Voluma Macintosh HD could not be repaird" message, and Repair quits with a "Error: the underlying task reported failure on exit" message.
    2) On my Dual 2 GHz G5 desktop, Safari appears to be unable to load more than six URL:s in 6 tabs; I read about 20 webcomics all organized in a bookmarks folder, and my usual practice is to select "Open in tabs" to open them all at once. Heretofore Safari has opened all the tabs and all the URLs without a hitch. After the update it will open all the ttabs but only about the first six sites load - all the rest just sit there spinning their wheels.
    Also it has hosed iChat on my Dsktop. iChat will open, but will not send or receive chats, and will not open the buddy window.
    Also Also, the system frequently hangs, seizing up anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, then resuming normally. Safari seems to be the culprit, but I can't really tell.
    I need an update to recover from the effects of the last update.

    I'm not very knowledgeable on macs yet being a new user (switcher) However, there appear to have been too many problems for too many people and too many systems associated with this update for it to be co-incidental. Take a look through the topics since the update appeared. My computer is brand new. The update did something that screwed something in the startup file (or whatever) The nice man in India helped me get the computer going by removing all sorts of wonderous things, this after his colleague in Cork had sent me all sorts of stuff to my work address to try out when I got home, like pram and nvram (which only made things worse) and other things. Now my computers fixed. Except that there's now no printer, it won't find the drivers off the install discs and any driver I load from canon isn't recognised or a script isn't recognised. I bought this thing to get away from problems like this on PCs!!!!

  • Any known problems with iPod Updater 2006-06-28?

    I was wondering if anyone's had any issues with their iPods since updating with the iPod Updater 2006-06-28.
    Thanks!

    I was a fool. I refrained from updating because I knew better than to try to fix something that isn't broken, but I was hungover and upset about the fact that whenever the headphones cord wiggles my ipod pauses. I was convinced for the split second in between two throbbing beats in my head that perhaps the new update would give me an option of shutting that aspect of the ipod off. Woe is me.
    Now 10 gb of my music is unavailable. The ipod just skips over it. It didn't delete the files, they're all still there, I just can't play them; not on the ipod nor on the computer (not original computer for ipod). In Itunes an exclamation point shows up in the first column whenever I try to play certain songs, but there is no information about what is wrong. If I go to info on these songs there is no entry for Profile: Channel: or Encoded With:, unlike the rest of my songs that still work.
    Any hope of recovery?

  • HT1222 Has Apple acknowledged the problems with Security Update 2012-001?

    I've read a multitude of user forum comments about this update breaking user software, but have not found a single comment by an Apple representative.

    Howdy,
    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.
    I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
    You might wish to read:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
    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.
    If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
    - You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
    - Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
    - 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.
    Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:

  • Problems with Security Update 2009-005

    I attempted to install this security update on my iBook G4 but got an error message towards the end of the process stating that it had not fully installed. Since then my dock has disappeared so I can only access applications through Go in Finder, the computer wont shut down or restart, Safari opens with an error message -600, it does not recognise my camera so I cant download photos and About this Mac doesnt work. How can I fix this? Can anyone help? Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions (under less than auspicious circumstances, alas). To save me an incredible amount of typing I will refer you to a previous post on this topic: [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10206386#10206386]. You should also browse the last few day's topics in this forum for similar issues. As you will see from my post, there's a range of possible cures from simply booting in Safe Mode and rebooting normally, to having to re-install your operating system.
