G5 will not restart after installing latest Security Update

I just installed latest Safari Security Update and now my computer will not restart. It will load my background then just spin and spin... with desktop never showing up and no control of computer. I have tried to repair disk but to no avail. HELP!

Hi,
Try Safe Boot Mac OS X
What happens when you try to repair the disk? Are you booting from your restore disk while holding down the C key???

  • Ethernet will not connect after installing latest Security Update.

    I installed the latest security update, restarted my computer, and found that it now will not connect to the internet. I get the message "Could not find a PPPoE server". I have checked all of my settings, restarted the computer again, turned the modem off and on again, etc., but nothing helps. I know that there is nothing wrong with the modem and server because I am connected through the same DSL modem to this computer (a mac mini). It would seem that the security update has done something unhelpful! Any ideas?
    BTW, the ibook does not have a wireless card and I had not installed 2 earlier wireless updates. I only installed this one because it said "recommended for all users".

    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".

  • 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

  • Safari & Software Update crash after installing latest Security Update

    I recently loaded Security Update 2008-007 and now Safari crashes on trying to open. I've also found Software Update crashes. Trying to reload Safari and the downlaoad crashes. I'm running 10.5.5 on my G4 12" Powerbook. Any suggestions, before I permanently turn to Firefox? Which of course won't help with Security update

    I found that reinstalling the system and not opting to install the security update stop the crashing let's hope the next security update doesn't do the same thing

  • Trouble connecting to Airport after installing latest security update

    Hi, I have just spent an hour with a level 2 SBC DSL tech and they could not resolve my problem. The problem is this: After installing the latest security update released on March 13 for OS 10.3.9, I can no longer securely connect to my airport. It may have something to do with the keychain because this has happened several times before, most recently after the previous security update about 2 weeks ago. Usually after much playing around, I get a window asking for permission for my new network settings to access the keychain. Once I say yes, all works fine. This time, I am not getting that prompt. Even though I have a full signal showing I am connected to the base, it will not pick up and IP address. Finally, the SBC tech had me disable the wireless key on the desktop pc that is the primary computer on the system and immediately my connections works. If I enable the wireless security key, I lose the connection. As I am completely open to hackers with the wireless security disabled, this is a big problem. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE can anybody help me?! Thank you so much for your help!

    Hi, my first post here!
    I too experienced this problem this evening, after applying the latest security update to Panther. I had verified that the wireless base station was working correctly and that it's WEP key hadn't become corrupted. There were no error messages after re-starting the Mac, just no IP number via airport.
    The keychain utility would hang if any attempt was made to alter the password for WEP, and the airport utility hung too. I used Disc Utility to verify permissions, which found dozens of errors - haven't done any maintenance for months - and fixed them.
    On re-starting, Airport was 'OFF' so turned it on, was asked to allow access to keychain, and all is working again.
    Thank you to those of you who posted the suggestion about permissions, you certainly saved my evening!

  • Menu items dimmed after installing latest security update

    has anyone else seen this problem? after installing the latest security update 2008-02 on my macbook, file menu and other items are dimmed (grayed out) after a restart. i have to right click on the desktop to bring up the contextual menu before the menu items become available. after that, the machine works as expected. the problem does not exist on my intel imac, which has identical software installed. it's more an annoyance than a big problem, but does anyone have a clue about how to fix it? i've tried trashing preference files for the finder, but that didn't seem to work. thanks in advance.

    well, i couldn't figure it out, so i reinstalled leopard and updated it to 10.5.2 with the latest security update and everything is working normally. something must have been broken in my previous set up.

  • MacBookPro Freezes after Installing Latest Security Update 2006-003

    After downloading and installing the latest security update 2006-003, MacBook Pro freezes when trying to do anything. Seems to do ok in safe mode but did freeze when trying to verify disk with Disk Utility. (did not try to repair as I am out of town at a motel without Tiger disks). Any suggestions before calling apple?
    MacBook Pro 15   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Since my post, I think I have solved the problem. At least MyMacBook is working ok so far. What I did is started up in safe mode (for the third time) then I went through the "Library" and looked for stuff that looked like it wouldn't work on a MacBook. This included some Norton Utility things. Also went through preferences and Application Support and did the same thing. By the way I had transferred all this stuff from my old Mac using the transfer app and connecting the two with firewire.
    Anyway, it's been working for about an hour. I'll keep this post open for a couple of days to see if it keeps working.

  • IMac won't "wake-up" after installing latest security update

    I have a fairly new iMac G5 2GHz, and just installed the latest security update yesterday(4/1/06). Since that update, everytime my computer goes to sleep, I can't wake it up.
    The power light is on and I hear the computer running... I can even hear the error "bonk" when I try and hit a bunch of keys, but still won't wake up. Was NEVER a problem until yesterday and I haven't installed anything else.
    Thanks in advance

  • Windows will not restart after install of itunes & quicktime, what to do?

    I installed itunes and quicktime from the disc provided. After install the installer asked to restart the computer and I clicked yes. It has not booted since. Windows 2000 Pro locks up about 75% through process. I did hear the speakers activate then nothing. I have attempted a hard boot and restart in safe mode without success. My emergency disk did not work. Where should I go next?

  • Firefox will not restart after installing firefox sync under Snow Leopard Mac OS X

    Firefox version 3.6.10

    A similar problem also appeared in Xmarks

    One side effect of all the Java updates that have been issued lately has been that some poorly-maintained Java applets have stopped working.  The only solution, if this is the problem, is to request that the applet be updated.
    Ask your bank's tech support if they support Java 1.6.0_33.  If they don't know what you're talking about, ask to talk to a more senior representative.  Continue this until you get someone who knows what you're talking about and can help you.  If nobody knows what you're talking about, switch banks, because you don't want these people in charge of the electronic security that protects your money! 

  • Cannot login [get Darwin/BSD] after installing latest Security Update?!?

    "Software Update" prompted install of new Apple update - after restart, long startup wait & login at regular User screen then flashes to black "Darwin/BSD" page - then blue screen... I've run Disk Util [off Install CD], run repair & fix permissions [no change]. Performed suggested Single-User "fix" for possible corrupt NetInfo & still, no login available. Need help, other troubleshooting advice? Don't know if my next step is to re-install OS X? [am booting off an external FW drive that's brand new]

    When booted into Single User mode, did you type in reboot and exit, so
    the computer would know you wanted it to get out of Single User and to
    start up in the GUI of your OSX? It may need such a prompt even if you
    did not ask it to be in Single User in the first place.
    Did SafeBoot> repair disk permissions> restart, do anything different?
    The key may likely still be in the single user or fsck mode. Another user
    had a similar issue recently in one of these forum pages.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hello Robert,
    First, Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
    Then move these files to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
    Reboot & test.
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update

    MacBook Pro will not start even in safe boot after installing latest camera update.
    I started my machine and did a software update. Only the camera update needed. So installed and when required I pressed restart. It restarted and did install. Then restarted again. I expected to get to the login screen and it turned itself off. Tried three more times. Each time shutting off. I unplugged everything, and pressed start waiting for log in window. No it shutdown before the log in window. I then tried safe mode and that did not work either on three more occasions.

    I have managed to resolve some issues. I can now restart the machine via a CD boot. If I do cmd C into something like tech tool pro, then restart from that disks menu it restarts every time.
    If I try a safe start it shuts down. If I try a normal start it shuts down. I have managed to repair permissions and that cleared up some start up permissions but with no improvement to the boot problem. The only way to load is via the cmd-C boot option. Any other ideas?
