HT1222 my imac won't install security update 2013-001

I keep getting notifications about Security Update 2013-001.  I agree to the installation, my iMac restarts, but later I find that the installation has not happened.  What should I do?  Thanks for help.

Your Tag states you are using Snow Leopard...
Here's the Link to Apples servers for that security update for Snow Leopard...

  • Security update 2013-001 broke my keyboard

    I installed security update 2013-001 (version 1.0) today, and after the reboot, my iMac doesn't recognize my keyboard any more. Neighter the USB hub functionality is working (my trackball needed to be plugged into another USB port directly to the iMac to be recognized.
    Hardware: iMac12,2
    OS: 10.6.8 snow leopard
    Keyboard model no. A1243 (apple full size USB keyboard)
    I tried different USB ports, and also rebooted, but it still doesn't work.
    I borrowed my colleague's A1242 keyboard (apple small size USB keyboard) which works fine.
    All I did was install the software update. The previous update was Java Update 14.
    Does anybody know what's going on? :'(

    For anyone who has a USB (third party) keyboard: after the security update, the iMac will only recognize it if you follow the screen instructions - press the key to the right of the left Shift key once; after that, the key to the left of the right Shift key (that is the default procedure for Mac OS to recognize plug in keyboards).
    So, it doesn't "break" the keyboard, it just needs to be able to recognize it since the firmware settings were most likely reset to factory default. Not sure if this also applies to a wired Apple keyboard, but it definitely applies to third party keyboards, especially if they are plugged in in addition to an Apple bluetooth keyboard, which is the case with my setup.

  • HT201366 CAC readers not working after installing security update 2013-003?

    Is anyone else having problems with CAC readers not working after installing security update 2013-003? CAC required websites are causing safari and chrome to crash.

    For CAC issues, see:

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

  • HT5130 Unable to  install Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8

    Have just tried to install Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8 and get message saying cannot download. Download stalls at Zero kB downloaded. Dialog says an error occurred during download.
    Internet connection is fine and first time denial has occurred.

    Looking at all the posts about the deficiencies of this update, you may have just lucked out, especially if you are, like many of us, still running PowerPC programs under Rosetta.

  • Installed Security Update 2013-003 & now cannot see video

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Security Update 2013-003 is available for Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. You can download the Snow Leopard version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1670
    You don't have enough space to install the update, so you have to delete things from the hard drive or move them to an external drive. See > http://thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html

  • Eudora crashing since installing Security Update 2010-001

    Eudora has been crashing 100% of the time since I installed Security Update 2010-001 for Leopard.
    Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions for a resolution?
    Thanks.

    I see that, like most others, you prefer IMAP. I have used both but I prefer POP. Mixing them on one client can have unfortunate consequences. I don't like any sort of web interface to mail. IMAP is very useful if you need portability but I contend that POP can be more secure if used as I do:
    I access each account from time to time from more than one computer. Each computer acts as mail backup for the other as long as I remember to use each within my 122 day (4 month) setting. Since the computers are at different locations I have good protection from fire, disk failure or any other failure of my computers. A corrupt ISP employee can only access my emails for the last 4 months. To easily keep both clients the same I have a simple flat folder structure - one folder for each of the last 10 years.

  • Can't install Security Update 2009-001

    I was trying to install Safari4 Beta and it wouldn't install stating my volume (hard drive) didn't meet the volume requirements. Then I tried installing Security Update 2009-001 and got the same message. I'm not real computer savvy, what am I doing wrong? Thanks.

    Don't know. Boot with your install disk, select your language, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, and repair the disk and permissions. Try installing again. If still no go, create a new admin user account, log into it, and try installing. If the problem remains, download and install the 10.5.6 COMBO updater, repair permissions, and restart.

  • HT1222 Security Update 2013-001 (Lion) may have disabled the DVI on my 17" MacBook Pro

    It looks like Security Update 2013-001 (Lion) may have disabled the DVI on my 17" MacBook Pro ... 2006 vintage ... it worked fine before the upgrade.  Tested port with HD monitor using an HDMI adapter that worked before. Thanks for the help!

    Thank you for the suggestion ... I repaired the disk ... repaired the permissions ... from the CMD+r restore partition ...
    No changes.
    I'm in the process of doing a Software Update scan ...
    Thanks for the suggestion ... hope there might be more ...
    I know these are supposedly never monitored by Apple ... but I can always hope!

  • No Dock no app switching after security update 2013-001

    Been running 10.6.8 very stably for a long time.  Yesterday SW update found Security Update 2013-001.  The first download didn't succeed, second download went and installed okay, without issue.
    On restart (and multiple restarts since), the desktop pattern has reverted to the default space-theme, the Dock is gone, Cmd-Tab won't show or switch among apps, Spaces and Expose are gone, and System Prefs won't fix these.  I can select a desktop pattern, but it doesn't change, can enable Spaces, but it doesn't 'stick', etc.
    I repaired permissions (a few from an HP printer update a month ago0, and the HD verified without issue.  No change.
    What is the best course of action?  Re-install 10.6.8 updater?   Then what??
    -Paul

    Update.. here are the things I've done, with no change.   I really don't understand #2; since the cloned drive was well before these issues, yet all symptoms remain, suggests it's a HW/FW setting somewhere.  Then I hoped zapping PRAM would straighten it out.  No luck.  What gives?
    1)     Ran 10.6.8 combo updater; no change.
    2)     Booted from a drive cloned a week ago, before Security Update: behavior unchanged
    3)     Reset PRAM -  no change.

  • Mac Book Pro hangs when installing Security Update 2013-002 (ver 1.0) on Lion 10.7.5

    I am running Lion 10.7.5 on a 13" MacBook Pro (late 2011) with the latest software updates and everything has been working perfectly.
    Last night I tried to do a Software Update and it said there is a Security Update 2013-002 (ver 1.0) recommended.  I installed it and the progress bar went to about 50% and then stopped.  I waited more than 2 hours and the mac locked up.  Had to do a hard reboot.  Tried to install this Security update again after rebooting.  The mac froze again (spinning wheel).
    Any ideas?

    OK. Let's try running the computer in Safe Mode then a normal restart. The initial startup into safe mode will take some time so be patient. A progress bar will eventually appear then disappear. Once safe mode is complete you will see a login window. Login with the desired account and password. Wait for the startup to fully complete before restarting. The point here is to clear some caches and other files that may become corrupted.
    If you happen to own a utility such as Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner I would use it to clear out all the user, system, and font caches. An immediate restart is needed upon completion. At least this way we can rule out corrupted caches.

    Kappy's Personal Suggestions About OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utility is: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior for defragmentation of older drives, disk repair, disk scans, formatting, partitioning, disk copy, and benchmarking. 
    Four outstanding sources of information on Mac maintenance are:
    1. OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
    2. Mac maintenance Quick Assist
    3. Maintaining Mac OS X
    4. Mac Maintenance Guide
    Periodic Maintenance
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) See Mac OS X- About background maintenance tasks. If you are running Leopard or later these tasks are run automatically, so there is no need to use any third-party software to force running these tasks.
    If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced after Tiger.  (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
    Defragmentation
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive except when trying to install Boot Camp on a fragmented drive. But you don't need to buy third-party software. All you need is a spare external hard drive and Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Cheap and Easy Defragmentation
    You will have to backup your OS X partition to an external drive, boot from the external drive, use Disk Utility to repartition and reformat your hard drive back to a single volume, then restore your backup to the internal hard drive. You will use Carbon Copy Cloner to create the backup and to restore it.
      1. Get an empty external hard drive and clone your internal drive to the
           external one.
      2. Boot from the external hard drive.
      3. Erase the internal hard drive.
      4. Restore the external clone to the internal hard drive.
    Clone the internal drive to the external drive
      1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
      2. Select the Source volume from the left side dropdown menu.
      3. Select the Destination volume from the left side dropdown menu.
      4. Be sure the Block Copy button is not depressed or is ghosted.
      5. Click on the Clone button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive and click on the upward pointing arrow button.
    After startup do the following:
    Erase internal hard drive
      1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      2. After DU loads select your internal hard drive (this is the entry with the
           mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the
           drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is
           failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be
           reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the
           DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the
           drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
           (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
           GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait
           until the process has completed.
    Restore the clone to the internal hard drive
      1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
      2. Select the Source volume from the left side dropdown menu.
      3. Select the Destination volume from the left side dropdown menu.
      4. Be sure the Block Copy button is not selected or is ghosted.
      5. Click on the Clone button.
    Destination means the internal hard drive. Source means the external startup drive.
    Note that the Source and Destination drives are swapped for this last procedure.
    Malware Protection
    As for malware protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. Starting with Lion Apple has included built-in malware protection that is automatically updated as necessary.
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection:
    1. Mac Malware Guide.
    2. Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware
    3. Macintosh Virus Guide
    For general anti-virus protection I recommend only using ClamXav, but it is not necessary if you are keeping your computer's operating system software up to date. You should avoid any other third-party software advertised as providing anti-malware/virus protection. They are not required and could cause the performance of your computer to drop.
    Cache Clearing
    I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache files can cause slowness, kernel panics, and other issues. Although this is not a frequent nor a recurring problem, when it does happen there are tools such as those above to fix the problem.
    For emergency cleaning install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (AppleJack works with Snow Leopard or earlier.)
    Installing System Updates or Upgrades
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Backup and Restore
    Having a backup and restore strategy is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your computer. Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner.
      2. Deja Vu
      3. SuperDuper!
      4. Synk Pro
      5. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance and backup and restore.
    Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space. Avoid installing utilities that rely on Haxies, SIMBL, or that alter the OS appearance, add features you will rarely if ever need, etc. The more extras you install the greater the probability of having problems. If you install software be sure you know how to uninstall it. Avoid installing multiple new software at the same time. Install one at a time and use it for a while to be sure it's compatible.

    - FOR OS VERSION UPDATES YOU CAN ROLL THEM BACK
    have to trash the UPDATE10.4.?.PKG file that is located in:
    Hard drive> Library> recipts folder> ??.pkg file. (check spotlight search if you cant navigate to the Recipts folder for .pkg files to take out the one for the latest update you have done.
    Basically the only way to "roll back" any applications or drivers that are updated is to do an entire Archive and Install of your OS (can do preserving user and network settings and WILL NOT LOOSE ANY DATA) see knowlege base article 107120 for A&I how to. You can always do the software updates later after the A&I.
    That particular security update may have been faulty so of course, mabye try the DL again to see what happens and by all means CHECK THE SUPPORT TAB of this site for software updates if you want to do them. IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT. most software updates do little or nothing for the application and somtimes they could cause problems LIKE loosing your itunes library when going from 5.0 to 6.0 and so on...

  • Security update 2013-001 broke remote printing

    I installed the 2013-001 update on a MacPro (10.6.8) and printing through a shared printer on another Mac (iMac 20, 10.6.8) is no longer possible. The print job is stopped at the client's print queue with a "On Hold ((Authentication required)" status. I have gone through the usual exorcisms (delete printers and install them again through "Print & Fax" of "System Preferences") in both the client and the "server." I have also installed the update in the "server" and the client's behavior has not been affected.
    There is no way of entering username and password because CUPS' printer.conf has "AuthInfoRequired none" for this printer. Editing printer.conf (of course, after stopping cups via "sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd") to have "AuthInfoRequired username,password" allows the window to pop only once, will not inform the user if the inputs are incorrect, and will revert back to "AuthInfoRequired none" after that one-time use. (Why? Because the printer is being shared by another machine?). BTW, installing the printer through CUPS html interface ("http://localhost:631") does not change this behavior.
    Local printing on the "server" is not affected by the update. Two other Macs (both on 10.6.8) that have not had the update applied have no problems printing through the "server" even though the "server" was updated. This strongly suggests that the update caused enough changes in the network security to break shared printing as we know it.
    Anybody else seeing this out there in the wild? If so, any workarounds? Or do we wait for Apple's engineers to hear about it and fix it? Other than reverting to an earlier version of the OS through TImeMachine, I am out of ideas and the possible solutions appear to be above my pay grade. (BTW, is there an official way of deinstalling an update like this one?)
    Thank you for reading this far and, hopefully, you can contribute a solution.

    If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair,
    Is just one reason to 3rd party utilities which are stronger than Apple's.  When it comes to directory damage, DiskWarrior is the way to go.  No need to use if Disk Utility found "no" errors.  Overkill does not come into play.
    If I wanted to load third-party drivers to solve this type of problems, I'd be running another OS.
    Unless your printer was made specifically by Apple, all printer drivers are third party.  Apple gets them directly from the printer manufacturer.  As a courtesy, Apple supplies them through Software Update.

    I have no idea what is wrong with the script "postinstall".
    Can anyone please help? Is ist safe to kill the update process and try the update again?

    Thanks a lot,

    For anyone who has a USB (third party) keyboard: after the security update, the iMac will only recognize it if you follow the screen instructions - press the key to the right of the left Shift key once; after that, the key to the left of the right Shift key (that is the default procedure for Mac OS to recognize plug in keyboards).
    So, it doesn't "break" the keyboard, it just needs to be able to recognize it since the firmware settings were most likely reset to factory default. Not sure if this also applies to a wired Apple keyboard, but it definitely applies to third party keyboards, especially if they are plugged in in addition to an Apple bluetooth keyboard, which is the case with my setup.

  • Safari 5.1.8 from security update 2013-001, fyi

    It's been awhile since Safari got an update in SL, but I see it went from 5.1.7 to 5.1.8 with this latest Security Update. Can't find any mention of it in the update notes, but at least it isn't totally forgotten..
    I'm just glad Apple is still updating SL (even if minimal)

    Select Help ▹ Installed Plug-ins from the Safari menu bar. Besides the following, what plugins are listed?
