Epson PictureMate Shows "Stopped" After Last Java and Security Updates

Hi,
After installing the following updates ("Final Cut Pro Update" (5.1.3), "Java for Mac OS X 10.4, Release 5" (5.0), "Security Update 2007-002 (PowerPC)" (1.0), "Security Update 2007-001" (1.0) and "Daylight Saving Time Update" (1.0)). My Epson PictureMate started showing the dreaded "Printer Stopped" issue noted y many other on many other printers.
I've tried the Printer Setup Utility "reset printing system", removing and adding back the printer etc. The Epson Photo 820 still works fine. The PictureMate will also work fine from any other account. The account I'm using it in is not an admin acocunt, but a Standard account. The other family accounts can also use the printer, so the issue is local to my 1 main user.
I've downloaded and tried the "PSR" utility from www.fixamac.com. The utility doesn't find anything wrong, but it does complain about CUPS permissions (as did Apple's Disk Utility). I'm thinking the resetting of the printer system deletes a number of directories and when they are recreated they seem to come back with permissions the system (and PSR) doesn't like. Both utilities repair and don't find the issues again, but no joy on the printing.
I've also dumped the preferences with no change.
Since other users can print fine, I'm assuming CUPS and the printer drivers are OK. Any idea what other secret files in my User folder could be messed up and affecting the single printer?
Thanks in advance.

There are a LOT of Java based exploits, so even 3.6.11 isn't fully patched, there are cross-platform exploits, and bots running wild.
Did you also remove your cache folders?
Firefox: I use 4.0 betas, NoScript I feel is a must.
From MacIntouch:
Security software vendors warn of an active, Java-based Trojan Horse that affects Mac users. Disabling Java in your web brower is a highly-recommended counter-measure. Also flushing DNS cache.

Adobe, Oracle, Nvidia.... but actually leaving it to users to get the latest Java on their own is the same as what happens with Windows.
Mozilla group urged its users to immediately:
Disable JavaScript in Firefox.
Using NoScript Add-on.

IMac G5 freezes on start up after ITunes, Quicktime and Security update

On June 2nd, the following event occurred on my IMac G5 (model year 2005) equipped Mac OS 10.4.9
Upon completion of the automatic update for Itunes, Quicktime and a security update, the computer restarted.
However, the start-up sequence freezes on a grey screen with the logo for the power button displayed in the middle and a message inviting to hold down the poer button down for 5 sec to re-start.
the only way to complete the start up sequence is to hold down the apple key while pressing the power button.
Does anyone have any suggestions to regain control of my computer ?thank you in advance.

Welcome to Discussions - Hopefully, you repaired permissions both before and after updating, if not, it might be a good thing to do now. Also, you are not alone in having problems with the update, take a look at this.
Generally, it's better to install updates one by one, so that if you have problems, you know which one caused them.

Status of my application is showing Stopping from last 6 hrs

Hi,
I am not able to start my application "Planet" in "p1940097444trial account"
From eclipse and cockpit it is showing Stopping from last 6 hours.
I am not able to even kill the process.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Harshith.

Hi Harshith,
I happened with me too! However, you can easily stop this process and retry. Go to processes and close all processes specific to your application. This should make your server in stopped status. Now, login to HCP and refresh the page. Manually stop the application. Now again try to deploy application from Eclipse on HCP Server connected to your trial account. This should get throug successfully. I am not sure why the process gets stuck randomly, but I am sure doing this would resolve your problem. I was able to.
Best Regards,
Ameya

Start up problems after Safari 3.1 and Security update

Updated safari and security update last night.
Safari downloaded and installed but there was an error downloading or installing the security update, I forgot.
After I restarted everything booted up fine, but was stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen.
Did a fsck and zap the pram, still stuck.
Today I tried booting up in safe mode, stuck on the gray screen with the apple logo.
Then I tried booting up from an external firewire dvd drive. Repaired permissions, repaired the disk, but it is still stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen. Help please...
Thank you

Ok i had a similar problem, with all the recent updates for Leopard, including the 10.5.2 combo update... the 12" PowerBook G4 kept getting stuck on the grey apple and spinning wheel... if it managed to get past this it would get stuck on the blue screen!!!
The way i got around this, after trying all these other tips was: Archived & Installed 10.5; restarted, waited; downloaded 10.5.2 Combo update, installed; restarted, waited; waited; waited; after getting back to desktop, restarted, waited; then ran Software Update only installing one at a time, and after each install, restarted, waited; when all Software updates completed, proceeded with iLife updates etc... It took a while (still quicker than the 3 days of failed installs and updates) with a lot of waiting on the blue screen (5-20mins) but we got there in the end. Disks where checked with Leopard Disk Utility before and after, permissions where checked before and after completing all installs, also with a DW 4.1 optimization. Also note worthy is the RAM was upgraded from the initial 256Mb (!!!) with an extra Gb.

Unable to Reboot After Latest Apple Updates (SA-2011-06-23-1 and Security Update 2011-004)

Hi All,
After applying today's updates (06/23/2011) in APPLE-SA-2011-06-23-1 Mac OS X v10.6.8 and Security Update 2011-004, my MacBook will no longer boot. Prior to updating, the MacBook workked perfectly (except for the occasional error entry in the system and kernel log). The MackBook model number is A1278, with a RAM upgrade (4 GB).
When booting in NORMAL mode, the grey screen with Apple logo (and spinning wheel) is shown for about 50 seconds. The device never shows the blue background or login window. It simply shuts down like the power was pulled.
When booting in SAFE mode, the grey screen with Apple logo (and spinning wheel) is shown for about 1 minute 30 seconds. The blue background is shown and quickly transitions to the login windows. About 45 seconds after the login window is shown, the machine shuts down like the power was pulled.
On the few occassions I logged in to take advantage of the 45 second safe mode window (before shutdown), I was *not* able to copy off my log files (in /log/var) to a thumb drive because the computer would not mount the USB device.
When I peeked at the system's log file, I caught the tail end of "signature validation failed" for a bunch of hardware - from video to audio. I can only peek because the computer will shutdown before I have an opportunity to study anything in detail. The failed verifications may or may not be related to the shutdown - signature verfication might be disabled in safe mode; I simply don't know.
It seems the world's most advanced operating system [tm] is performing the world's most epic failure. Any ideas to get this brick working again would be greatly appreciated.

Here's what I've found:
(1) I cannot run Disk Utility because I don't have my install disk handy
(2) I cannot run Repair Permissions because Apple does not make a separate ISO available to fix their mistakes
(3) There does not appear to be a wat to back out updates (ie, no Add/Remove Programs)
I was able to boot into safe mode and perform:
> sudo bash
$ chmod -R root /
Amazingly, the command ran to completion. Unfortunately, it did not fix the problem. As soon as some spare cycles were available (interesting indeed!), the machine shutdown.
+1 to Apple engineers for creating a broken patch
+1 to Apple quality assurance for letting the junk out the door
+1 to Apple, for not offering an ISO to fix a broken installation
+1 to Steve, who has managed to keep his anti-trust lock on the hardware and broken software
Great job, Apple

Airport problems after 8/12 airport and security update

My MacBook Pro which had been working flawlessly since I got it last year received the airport and security updates distributed today. After the reboot my airport turns itself off after a few minutes and will not come back on and the computer seems to be running hotter than usual. Booting from a recent clone of the drive without the updates did not fix the problem and the card turned itself off a few minutes after the reboot and will not come back on.
Anyone having similar problems after the update?

Does your problem occur only when unplugged. If so, then maybe this update is for you: http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortClient_Update_for_MacBook_and_MacBookPro. Check it out, but use your own judgment in installing; not much info is provided.

I really need help on reseting my security questions i tried sending in my rescue email but the rescue email is not showing up on the password and security tab and i'm positive i don't know the answers this is really getting annoying _

If your rescue email is not working and you cannot remember even one answer, then you only have one option - call Apple.

HT5281 Update to Lion 10.7.4 and Security update 02/2012 upped Ruby load to the ceiling

After updating our home Mac mini server to Lion 10.7.4 and Security update 02/2012, with the machine now just sitting idle, no user logged-in, network cable unplugged, Ruby is generating 96% load on the CPU at all times, with processor temperature running near its limit and fans blowing full-blast.
Switching off the Wiki server cut the load back to normal, Ruby process went behind the curtain, and things appear back to normal, but of course this is no cure, it's just a temporary fix-up.
Any other user is experiencing anything similar?
Any possible solution in form of a next update coming soon, for the graphic-shell-only illiterate users like me?

Yesterday I applied the latest Lion Server Update to my Mac Mini Server (not sure about the update's number).
I also experienced the "fans blowing full-blast" symptom for no apparent reason (no heavy apps running - Mac almost idle- and CPU, HDD, Network monitors flatlining). As well as a minor issue on the screen-sharing side: it didn't display the initial grey-background login page, but after I logged in blindly it was fine.
The update did a restart but no power-off, so I thought the issues might occur because the hardware hadn't properly reset (yep, I had to use Windows at work...)
Dunno if that was the cause, but after a shutdown, power-off and restart, the symptoms disappeared. Will see... so far so good.

Safari 3.1 and Security update on PowerPC G5 dual 2.5 now super slow HELP !

I installed the safari update and security update today and now my Mac is running Slower then it ever has. I have a PowerPC G5 Dual 2.5 liquid cooled 2.5gigs of ram. I ran the hardware test disk and all checked out fine I really have no idea what to do and this machine is running like a hog. I would appreciate any help anyone might have for me.

If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have):
Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-on that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.1.
You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2008-002. Like all security updates, this requires a restart and a permission repair.
As Leopard also uses Safari 3.1, much of the above may well also apply to Leopard, but is not guaranteed. Moreover:
Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Safari in Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
• /Library/InputManagers
• ~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
Additionally try this:
Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
form values
download.plist
Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
com.apple.Safari.plist
Repair permissions.
Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

Loss of FN-Keys after installation of Microsoft security updates on L500

I'm using a satellite L500-19U
After installation of Microsoft security updates the FN keys lost their functin except the Brightness + / - function.
also the soft keys which appear at the upper monitor border by pressing the FN key didn't appear after the security packages were installed.
I solved The problem by removing the update by means of the roll-back function (Wiederherstellungs punkt) of W7.
The following security packages are selected to be installed:
Security update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB978601)
Security update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB979309)
Security update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB979683)
Security update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB980232)

I have checked the history of updates on my computer and all of them are installed except for Windows MRT x64 - April 2010 (KB890830) (malicoius software removal tool). Everything works fine, try to remove this update.
