Clicking noise after downloading the security update...

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone else's MacBook has a clicking noise after they did the system update for the security,sounds like it is coming from the top right hand corner.
If anyone knows what might be causing this problem, do let me know.
Thanks,
Sam

Could the noise be coming from the hard drive (lower right corner?)
And, is the 'click' the same sound that the HDD makes once, normally, just before the whole computer turns off during shut down or sleep?
My clicking HDD began right after downloading the last Security Update (the one released in May), but I concluded that was just a coincidence. Nevertheless, when I installed yesterday's security update I couldn't help but secretly hope it might stop the clicks. No such luck... I still doubt it has anything to do wuth it. Just thought I'd ask...

What do I do after I got an error after trying to download the security update?

What do I do next when I got an error after trying to download the security update?

Thank you for providing these details. It makes helping you much easier.
You have a 16GB iPad, but have only 2.4GB available. This is likely contributing to the issue. This amount, 15% of the iPad's storage capacity, is the minimum free space you should have. But when updating iOS, you should expect the new version to use somewhat more space than the old. I believe going to Settings > General > Usage and freeing space will help with your issue.
Another recommendation would be to use iTunes on your computer to do the update instead of over-the-air.
I believe either one of these would help you. Both would be at least as good.

Built in Audio missing after downloading latest Security Update

Hi everyone,
My Built-in audio is missing!
Under System Profiler, it says "No built-in audio" under the Audio (built in). In System Preferences, (under Sound) no devices are available to select. When I click "Show volume in menu bar" the speaker icon appears, but as soon as I click on it, it disappears.
I've been trying different solutions I've found in the various audio posts, but nothing seems to work.
I tried CTRL OPT P R, but that didn't work. I looked in my Library -> Preferences and I don't have any sort of com.apple.audio file.
I've been putting off downloading the latest Quicktime update, because everything was working fine. I downloaded the Security Update, thought it would be "safe", restarted, and my audio disappeared. I figured what can be worse, so I updated Quicktime as well along with all the Final Cut Studio 2 updates.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Erik

Thanks for your troubleshooting tips- I tried to re-install and create an archive so I wouldn't have to wipe the main drive, but there was an error creating an archive and the computer wouldn't do it. I've had the computer since October 2003 and have never had to re-install, so I decided to backup important stuff and just do a clean install.
After installing everything, I have lots of extra space on my drive and the system runs nice and quick once again.
... and audio is back too.

After downloading the new update for Firefox I can no longer get Firefox to respond. I can only get it to respond in safe mode. Why?

After downloading the new update to Firefox I cannot get Firefox to respond. The only way I can use Firefox is in Safe Mode.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated to new version of Firefox

Cannot believe NO ONE from Firefox is responding to this issue; particularly since I don't seem to be the only one with the problem!!!!

After downloading the latest update, my playlists now go into shuffle mode everytime I try to play. I have turn6ed off shuffle on both my computer and ipod, and even tried recreating a new list, to no avail. Any ideas as to what may be causing this?

After downloading the latest update for my Ipod touch, my playlists now go into "shuffle" mode everytime I try to play. I have turned off shuffle on both itunes and my ipod and even tried recreating the playlist and syncing with no luck. I don't know what is causing this, because before the last download, it never happened. Any ideas on how to fix?

Since this is an XP machine, which version of iTunes do you have installed? Is it the latest version?
Have you tried starting iTunes, attach the USB end of the cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod...that is the recovery mode but also should make iTunes see the iPod.
If that doesn't work you may need to take the iPod back and have it tested by the genius bar techs to make sure the connector is not bad.

After downloading the latest update I get "an unknown error occurred (-42110) does anyone have a clue? I can get to the store just fine. Everything seems to be playing fine. The error comes up everytime I load iTunes.

Removing the SC Info folder as per the "Error 3001," "-42110," or "5103" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document seems to help most folks reporting the iTunes launch 42110s:

After downloading the lastest update, IOS 6, my iphone will not download apps.

after downloading the lastest update, IOS 6, my iphone will not download apps. help

I'm having the same problems. Can't even find out if Apple is working on it. Tried to downgrade but is not supported by apple so error 3194 comes up which is verifying with the apple web site. Which then stops everything. I understand you can modify the "hosts" file to by pass the issue, but hate doing that as it gets involved. May try it if I can't get any satisfaction from apple.

After installing the security update from 21.04.2015 my Phone does not start any more

Hi everybody,

Hi Chris, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I think your choices are to...
Reapply the Security update...
http://support.apple.com/downloads/SecurityUpdate_2008_008__Client_PPC
Reapply the Combo update...
The combo update for PowerPC-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html
Repair Permissions afterwards, reboot.
If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if the Disk Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows what could happen!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

MAC WILL NOT REBOOT AFTER DOWNLOADING LATEST SECURITY UPDATE

I downloaded the latest Security Update to my Mac Mini with Snow Leopard. It downloaded but would not restart. I finally managed to get it to boot to a bootable external drive and using Disk Utility found the HD was OK but the Preferences way out of wack. I patched up what I could but when I tried restarting to the original drive it would not work. I just get the white screen with a circle and stroke through it after a minute with the spinning ball. I have tried the original start up Disk, pressing C on Startup, but it just spits it out. I tried to use an older System Disk, one for Leopard but it will not see it. I tried zapping the PRAM twice to no avail. Now it won't see the bootable drive either.....
To me it sound like a massive hard drive fail, maybe nothing to do with the Security update. Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated though.....
Thanks,
Stephen

Hello
It seems that the update set your preferences to "use PPPOe" while you where using "TCP/IP".
Go to "System Preferences" and enter the pane whose icon is named "Réseau" in french (maybe "Network" in english.
Reset your settings to "TCP/IP".

HT5228 i cannot download the security update because it says it cant be found?

i tried to download the secirity update for my mac, but it says it cannot be found? is this spam? or a virus? or what? i dont understand why i cannot, update or download my security update from my mac?

I'm assuming that you are talking about downloading Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 7? (Your profile indicates that you are running 10.6.4, but that's probably not correct as 10.6.4 is quite badly outdated. Further, the forum you posted in does not provide any clues as to the system you are actually running.)
Where are you downloading this from? What says it cannot be found? What is the precise error message?
