Could someone help clarify how MAC security updates work?

hi, I'm using an application that is only supported on safari version 3.x - and I'm told if I accept the automatic updates from apple it will automagically update me to safari 4 without me being able to choose not to upgrade safari (but accept all the other patches/updates) can this be true ??
thanks.

J.Eaton -
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
We're all other Mac users, helping each other.
Glad you've found us.
So, to find what OS you're using
click on the desktop screen, click on the Apple menu (top left)
Down to About This Mac. It will tell you what OS you're on.
When you're using Safari, go up to the main Safari menu next to the Apple icon,
and "About Safari" will tell you what version Safari you're using.
Report back what you find, OK?

    Hello Carpets,
    Thanks for the question. You can reset your security questions with your rescue email address, as outlined with this article:
    Apple ID: All about Apple ID security questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5665
    If you do not see the option for resetting your questions with a rescue email address, see this excerpt:
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

    Hi Shirley,
    Long shot, but...
    Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Could someone help me out how to insert a Node properly into a DOM?

    I am trying to insert a Node built from a String to a DOM.
    Here is how I created the Node
                   Detail = "<Detail><Msg>Detail Message</Msg></Detail>";
                   prolog = "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>";
                   Node DetailNode = null;
                   Document DetailDoc = null;
                   if( Detail != null ){
                        Detail = prolog + BiometricDetail;
                        DetailDoc = xp.XML2DOM( BiometricDetail ); // transform a XML String into a DOM.
                        DetailNode = BiometricDetailDoc.getDocumentElement();                    
    Here is how I created the DOM
                   javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory factory = javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                   javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                   Document document = builder.newDocument();
                   Element beeE = document.createElement("BeeSets");
                   Element grpE = document.createElement("Group");          
                   bioE.appendChild( grpE );
                   // the document looks like "<BeeSets><Group></Group><BeeSets>";
                   // After inserting the Node DetailNode, I want it to look like
                   // "<BeeSets><Group><Detail><Msg>Detail Message</Msg></Detail></Group><BeeSets>";
    Now when I tried to insert the node DetailNode to the DOM document, I tried
    1) document.importNode( DetailNode, true );               
    No exception was thrown. But when I transformed the DOM document back to a String, I could not see the information from the newly imported Node DetailNode.
    When I tried
              grpE.insertBefore( BiometricDetailNode, dataE );
    I got the following exception.
         org.w3c.dom.DOMException: WRONG_DOCUMENT_ERR: A node is used in a different document than the one that created it.
         at org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode.internalInsertBefore(Unknown Source)
         at org.apache.xerces.dom.ParentNode.insertBefore(Unknown Source)
         at com.jadcs.bioidentity.role.base.RP.getNodes(RP.java:497)
    2) document.adoptNode( DetailNode );
    I got the following exception.
         java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl
         at org.apache.xerces.dom.DeferredTextImpl.synchronizeData(Unknown Source)

         at org.apache.xerces.dom.ElementImpl.setOwnerDocument(Unknown Source)
         at org.apache.xerces.dom.CoreDocumentImpl.adoptNode(Unknown Source)
         at com.jadcs.bioidentity.role.base.RP.getNodes(RP.java:509)
    3) detailStr = "<Detail><Msg>Detail Message</Msg></Detail>";
    Element detailE = document.createElement("Detail");
    detailE.setTextContent( detailStr );
    grpE.appendChild( detailE );
    This way gives result like "<BeeSets><Group><Detail><Detail><Flash>On</Flash></Detail></Detail></Group><BeeSets>";
    The content is messed up.
    Could someone help me out at how to insert a Node properly into a DOM? Thank you very much.

    Said another way, importNode actually only makes and returns a copy of the node you gave it (it will be a deep copy only if you pased true as the second parameter), but where the new dom you called import on is owner.
    So what you need to do is more like this:
    Node tempNode = domYouAreAddingTheNodeTo.importNode(node2copy,true); //true if you want a deep copy
    domYouAreAddingTheNodeTo.appendNode(tempNode);You can also traverse to any point in the DOM and insert the node there with the same method, but you always have to import first so that the DOM has a copy of the node that it owns.
