External Interface and Apple OS X Security Updates since 28 July 2010

Ever since the OS X and Safari updates from 28 July onward, we have been unable to send data from Flash player to Javascript and out to Unity 3D. From the alert() statements I have made, it appears as if the communication is being blocked at the Flash level. In other words, the browser is either no longer accepting the external interface calls from Flash, or Flash is blocking them internally. Calls from the browser to Flash are still functional.
The Flash version number is 10.1.82.76 on both old (non updated machines) and newly updated (doesn't work). Our application works on Windows fine. On OS X systems that have not had the updates, it also works fine.
We purchased a new iMac tonight to test and the communication works fine:
Mac OS X 10.6.3
Safari 4.0.5 (6531.22.7)
On another machine the system worked fine a week ago:
Mac OS X 10.6.4
Safari 5.0 (6533.16)
After the update to the following, it does not work:
Mac OS X 10.6.4
Safari 5.0.1 (6533.17.8)
Anyone experiencing anything like this? Anyone experiencing ANY trouble with Flash and those updates?
Any and all information will help.

A number of folks have posted similar crashing-related reports with that same system.

Help! I downloaded and installed the a security update for safari last night and after it rebooted my system quit recognizing my password and quit working, taking me to a utilities window.

I let my system download and install the latest security update for Safari yesterday, 28 Apr 14, and when it rebooted, it wouldn't let me login. Instead it took me to a utilities windown that allowed me to verify my h/d then told me it couldn't be repaired so I would need to save all of my documents (not sure how since it won't boot up) and reinstall OS X. Help!

terrelld,
if you’ve been making regular backups to date, then you could just restore from the last update which you’d made before installing the most recent Safari update. If you haven’t been making regular backups to date, you can try the method provided on this Apple page, in the “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility” section. If you’re not already making regular backups, then I’d highly recommend purchasing an external disk for use as a Time Machine backup destination once you’ve gotten this resolved, so that this sort of problem would be more easily resolved in the future.

Why does Adobe Elements 4.0 suddenly crash about the time Apple has a security update?

Why does Adobe Elements 4.0 suddenly start crashing about the time Apple has a security update?

An ADOBE FORUM "Community Professional" commented:
"Well, I'm not sure any of this is going to work, but go to your username>library>preferences and delete:
com.adobe.Photoshop.Elements.plist
The PSE 4 Paths and Settings folders (can't remember whether they're called Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 Paths or something different, but you want folders with Paths and Elements 4 in their names--you should be able to figure out which they are)
Opera preferences (if you have it)
Repair permissions and try again.
If it still quits, go to the PSE 4 folder in applications and delete the Adobe TWAIN driver from the plug-ins folder (note that you may have trouble with Epson scanners in PSE after doing this).
However, PSE 4 is pretty darned old and it's less compatible with every new OS X update, so what I've suggested may work and may not. FWIW, you probably will not be able to reinstall the program if you ever need to do so--installed versions of PSE 4 keep working in 10.6, but the installer does not."
Hope this helps

Will Apple still provide security updates\patches to iOS 5.1.1?

Can someone please confirm if will Apple still provide security updates and patches to iOS 5 (5.1.1)?
I really really hope the answer is YES because iOS 5 was released less then a year ago (October 12, 2011)... So I truly hope Apple is not throwing us under the bus here? I mean even Microsoft provides OS security patch support for 10 years so please NO fanboys or Apple defenders... just be real.

iOS 6 works perfectly fine for me.
Regarding your maps issue,
Apple is constantly working on improving their new Maps service, but until it reaches the level of finesse necessary to be usable, take a look at some alternatives.
If you would like to send a suggestion to Apple, please go to http://www.apple.com/feedback or you can Report a Problem via the Maps app by tapping the bottom right.
Bing Maps offers a very good maps service with Bird's Eye, a feature similar to Flyover. It's arguably better than Google Maps.

Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV. When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers. Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker. Why?

As far as I know, the Airport Express only transmits sounds via Itunes. So every other sound (internet, but also incoming mail) will be coming out of your mac instead of your external speakers.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:

Hello and welcome to the support community
You only option is to buy a copy of Mac OS X, either the retail disk or system disks.
There are places you can by a copy of Mac OS X, like online vendors, Amazon or eBay.
System disk are gray and come with more than one disk. Retail disk are black with a 'X' on them and often come as one DVD disk.
Not sure what version your going to require as you haven't provided any specification and model details.
I would safely assume being a G4, it would be happy to install Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.
If you could let us know the PowerBook you own, then I am sure we could advise you further.
Best of luck

Yes. Pair using Bluetooth with your MacBook Air.

PogoPossum,
My area of interest is in business and economic history. There is a considerable amount of reading and charting. Until the iPad hit the streets, I only considered stacks of books, journals, and downloaded documents, all marked up with highlighters, underlines, and marginal notes.
Most of my PC based work involved MS Office, Endnote, and MS OneNote.
What I would like to do with the iPad and MacBook are the same things (Office, Endnote, OneNote) and add the ability to read and markup all forms of printed materials from books to pdf to webpages.
I cut my teeth on an iPod Touch and have tried a lot of the note taking and reading apps. Without a camera the standard iPod Notes works for short quick notes and long think pieces. I just emailed the content and downloaded the stuff to my PC. Obviously, I do not want to continue at this "non-integrated" level of work.
Does this help?

External Volumes not Showing up after Security Update

Here are the basics: i have a first generation PPC mac Mini (10.4.11) that has a Ministack external harddrive/hub attached to it. I installed the latest Security Update via Software Update with the drive attached (bad idea, i know) and now the drive won't mount on the desktop, does not show up in System Profiler, and doesn't even show up in Disk Utility. It DOES show up when I do a Volume listing in Terminal, so it appears to me that at some level the computer still recognizes that it's there. Also, I attached another external drive that I have and I get the same results with that.
The additional ports on the hub portion of the drive continue to operate without any problem.
So far I've tried repairing permissions, resetting the PMU and PRAM, even archiving and reinstalling the OS to no avail.
Any ideas?

Hmmm, I've heard about the worry of disconnecting externals during an update, but my Mini/PPC was updated to 10.4.11 with a Ministack v1 connected without trouble!?
Seems you've tried about everything... how about Pulling the RAM, trying to Boot, then reinstalling the RAM?
How about booting off the Install Disk, does it show in DU then?
How about Does it boot into Open Firmware with CMDOption+of ?

Desktop items disappeared after installing Apple OS X security update

I downloaded and installed Apple's new OS X security update (15 Sep 2008) for Power PC that became available via software update feature today.
When I restarted the computer as advised at the end of installation, my hard drive icon and all other desktop files disappeared. Safari works. In Apple menu, the shut down feature only works when Safari is active. Force quit feature shows Safari as the only item while Finder items keeps flashing and disappearing.

Dear BDAqua, Thank you very very much for your advice.
First, I tried the approach of 'safe booting'. The menu items on the top kept flickering and I could not get into either the 'applications' folder or the "users" folder.
Then, I saw your advice to pj3 on another thread about re-running the install disc that came with the computer. I did not have to run all the other steps because re-installing the system with the standard instructions took care of the problem. The hard drive and other desktop files as well as the finder re-appeared.
Thanks again for your kindness.
Cheers!

Can someone tell me if Apple has resolved Security Update 2008-006 Issue?

Hi, I'm running Tiger (10.4.11) on a PowerBook G4. I just upgraded to iTunes 9. Unfortunately, I cannot access the iTunes store unless I upgrade Safari from my current version (3.1.2) to a newer version (4.0.3 or better). I just downloaded the installer for 4.0.4 and I can't install that until I install the latest security update (currently, 2009-005).
Now, I have been reluctant to install security updates ever since 2008-006 proved to be a disaster. You might recall the issue people had with the update screwing up their network settings (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1712387&start=0&tstart=0). When I had this issue the only way that I could solve this was to do a clean install of my OS. I do not want to have to go through this again. Can someone tell me if Apple has resolved this issue? If they haven't, could someone tell me where I can get the previous version of iTunes so I can install that?
I refuse to install another security update until I know that this problem has been solved.
Thank you.

In my humble opinion: yes, they have fixed the problem. As I posted here (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2292768&tstart=30), I had also declined all the updates since 2008-007 (and the following Quicktime update as well) caused a piece of software that I rely on to stop working. I recently did do the install of 2009-005, Quicktime, and all the other updates, and the result was a system that works perfectly. And quite frankly, I was amazed.
Between network settings, Finder crashing, and several other misbehaviors, a couple of the updates right around January 2009 did indeed cause heartburn for a number of people, as documented here- and more than a few of us quit accepting the updates as a result. I'm very happy that whatever the underlying causes for that misbehavior might have been, those problems appear to have been resolved since then...
So I'd have to weigh in with a "do a really good clone backup, and then go for it!" as well, based on my recent experience.

Mail and Safari crashes after Security Update 2007-006 and update 10.4.10

I just installed Security Update 2007-006 (Universal) and Mac OS X Update (Intel) 10.4.10 and now neither Mail nor Safari (nor sometimes Microsoft Messanger) will start. They just crash immediately after starting. Safari started working for a short while, but now, again, it won't start either, and Mail has not opened once since installing these two updates without immediately crashing. Does anyone have any idea why that might be so or how I can fix it?

Hi Barry,
Thank you very much for your quick answer. I never installed Safari 3 beta. I ran the repair disk and repair permissions from my install DVD, and did it did find and fix errors. I also deleted com.apple.safari.plist as suggested, but neither Safari nor Mail will open yet without crashing immediately (I've also rebooted since doing so). Additionally, I found a suggestion on another website to try installing "Mac OSX Update Combo 10.4.10"--Software Update installed the non-combo version, whatever that means, but the Combo installer app also crashes when I try to start it. Do you have any other suggestions? What other information can I give that could help? These problems only occurred after my reboot this morning after installing the OSX and security updates. Anyway, thanks for your help.
