HT1222 Why has Apple not either removed Security Update 2012-002 or updated it?

It hosed my iMac and a Mac Mini; kernal panic on the first, freeze on startup on the second. iMac is a 2 ghz Core 2 Duo, the Mac Mini a 1.83 ghz Core 2 Duo. I get tired of getting notices to update when I know my system will be brought to its knees if I do.

It had no such effect on mine. There are always some problems with updates that hit some users randomly. And sometimes Apple really screws up, but I don't remember hearing too much about this one here. Seemed, for the most part, rather problem free.
See my recommendations for updating. You could try re-applying it. Might help.

  • Why can't I open iTunes or apps on ipad1? And why do apple not support the latest update for ipad1 when it's less than 2 years old. I am sick of huge corporations ripping off joe public!

    And the processor limitations.
    iPad: RAM - 256MB, Processor - 1 GHz Apple A4
    iPad 2: RAM - 512MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5
    iPad 3: RAM 1024MB, Processor - 1GHz dual-core Apple A5X
    Similarily, the iPad 2 did not get Siri and some other features in iOS 6.

  • Why has apple not made ios 7 available for iPod touch 4th gen?! Ughh

    Why have apple not made ios 7 available for iPod touch 4th gen?! How annoying!

    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB

  • Why has Apple not offered something like "Free Safe Text" as part of the iOS?

    I just saw a story on TV about a new app called "Free Safe Text".  I have been looking for something like that.  It is not currently offered in The Apple App store.  I have even asked our business insurance carrier for something like it.  Apple obviously has become the leader in the smart phone market.  I don't understand why they are not demonstrating a concern for safety by offering a similar app or by building it into their iOS.  I believe that the insurance community, as well as the public should demand that this be done now.  Distracted driving is killing thousands of everyone's friends, neighbors, and loved ones.  Apple should act more responsibly in this area!

    All I am saying is that the improper and unsafe use of smart phones has become a public safety issue.  I don't believe that any law or our elected public officials will ever be successful in controlling this problem.  I do not mean to imply that Apple is responsible for the irresponsible use of their devices.  I do believe that Apple, as well as all other smart phone manufacturers, should work diligently, hand and arm with the insurance industry, to build hardware and software features into their devices to solve this problem.  Ultimately, it will be the insurance community that will demand that the mobile phone industry build the necessary safety features into their products.  As the industry leader, it would be nice to see Apple at the forefront of these efforts.  I am a long term and loyal Apple product user.  They have obviously been very successful.  I want them to continue to be!  Apple should lead the industry down the road to solving this problem long term.  The responsible thing for us all to do is to encourage Apple, and the entire mobile phone industry to move quickly down this path to save as many lives as possible.  If this includes disabling smart phones entirely while in a moving vehicle, so be it.  The best solution would be to take vehicle control out of human hands.  Unfortunately, technology is not far enough along to make that feasible.

  • HT4972 Why will apple not allow an ISO update above 5.1 on a first generation I-Pad? I am finding a lot of apps requiring 6.0.  If this is a way of getting more money out of the consumer, it angers me greatly!

    I am very angry that my I- Pad first generation will not update to ISO 6.1. Is this Apple's attempt to get more money from the consumer? I am finding a lot of apps require the 6.0 and will not load. I am a retired senior and purchasing a new I- Pad is not a priority.  Because of this Apple may lose my future business.

  • Why Has Apple Not Fixed Bluetooth!!!!!!!!!

    I know this has been discussed over and over again but all I wish to do is connect my iPhone 4S to any other Bluetooth device PC, MAC, handset ect this can’t be that hard its only Bluetooth every other handset set I’ve had never had an issue so why Apple!!!!!!!!! I love the iPhone and was a devoted Android user till not long ago thinking of going back as I need Bluetooth. Sad that such a technologically advanced company has not fixed this small issue.

    "Apple should build in this feature into the iPhone"
    You can leave feedback for Apple at:  http://www.apple.com/feedback
    " i cant understand why they havent "
    You do not need to understand it.  Apple has made the decision.  Your understanding has nothing to do with it.
    Leave feedback for Apple.  There is nothing more you can do.

  • Why has Apple NOT fixed the bug on iphone 4s on Meteor?

    My phone has never worked since i bought it.. It is not fit for purpose. it constantly keeps searching for network..  both my Texts and Calls fail on almost every attempt.  ive been bounced from Apple to Meteor, back to Apple and still i have a dud phone!!! I have restored it 4 times. sent it bake to meteor, changed sims and still it does not work.
    this issue is know to both Apple and Meteor, yet both companies seem happy to allow customers to have this outrageous experience.
    Apple what are you doing to fix this?

    Your not speaking to Apple here just user to user like you and I.
    have you tried resetting your network in settings.
    Apple doesn't control networks, that would be your carrier they activate your service, so your anger you be towards meteor not apple.

  • Why has Apple not addressed the problems with its own software?

    Since I seem to have made the fatal mistake of upgrading my lovely iMac to Snow Leopard, most of my iLife 09 products have ceased working. In particular iDVD, where as before on faithful Leopard it did its job 100% it now decides to crash whenever it feels like it, leaving me with a third party application to use. Myself, along with approx 2000 other users have the same problem, so come on Apple, why the problems with your own software?? and why are we still waiting??

    Hi hipster36
    Welcome to apple discussions. Question for you: Is your mac intel based?
    If not, what's the objective in upgrading to Snow Leopard as opposed to continuing to work perfectly within Leopard? What added features were you considering to upgrade to? Are there any benefits in doing this for your own mac (even if it is intel based)?
    It's wise to approach all upgrades with caution (meaning always back up your current / working HD).
    Frankly, the way I upgrade is to clone my existing hard drive and then boot to the clone. Thereafter, I install the latest upgrade or OS (assuming it works well on the clone). I guess what I'm saying is to never upgrade without backing up and performing a test drive of the latest OS before you opt to alter your main hard drive. One can't assume that the latest and greatest Mac OS will continue to work fine on a mac which didn't first ship with this particular OS.
    This latest Mac OS /Snow Leopard is a bold step forward for apple. It's bold step forward in that it excludes all non-intel based macs.

  • HT2509 Why has apple not ditch font book yet? The software causes more problems than it is worth using.

    How can I ditch font book and remove from my computer? It causes nothing but problems and I prefer to use Font Reserve which runs smooth on my Macbook Pro with Retina.

    iOS4 has been working fine for me.
    What troubleshooting have you done?
    As far as the app, have you contacted the developer to let them know that their game crashes in iOS4?

  • HT6065 Why has Apple not fixed Mavericks breaking AuthenTec USB Fingerprint readers?

    Apple bought AuthenTec and shut it down to gain the technology for the iPhone. Later, they released Mavericks and broke the drivers that allow AuthenTec Eikon Fingerprint readers on Macs, despite having ample resources and time to do so.
    Do the right thing and fix the driver or the OS- no other entity can do so.

    I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
    The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.

  • Why has apple not made a 9 key function on existing iPhones and ipad touch screen keyboards?

    Does anyone else think this is a good idea for business and education?

    I can see its usefulness in certain conditions, please let apple know your opinion.

  • Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo

    Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo - it takes over the Safari browser even with extensions turned off - firefox works fine but the malware is still alive and kicking on my mac.  Should I just uninstall safari and hope the malware is not doing more damage in the background?

    Hi Sickof --
    Apple has never had anything to do with Genio.  It is sneakily installed with other apps you think would be helpful. It is very sickening, IMHO. 
    Here's a thread here -- It's long, I know, but it's got great information for you.

    Keep reading.  It's worth it.

  • Why does Apple not give a list of error messages and possible solutions? I have the (-54) error continually that has suddenly appeared and cannot find a solution, even though other users seem to have the same problem.

    This is a user to user forum.  Apple isn't here and won't answer you.  You need to contact Apple directly.  You can use the Contact button at the bottom of the screen.

  • Why has apple dumbed pages down.

    why has apple dumbed pages down. It is now useful for school kids and maybe party invitations, not for professional work. Now I have to use Word to do my work. This is very disappointing.
    How long will it take for them to realize that some of us depended upon the utility in pages, numbers and many of the other apps.
    Who are they appealing to?
    If they Tonka Toy their hardware, it will be time for me to move on.

    This forum is not really public and is mediated by Apple.
    Pages 5 has over 90 other features removed:
    http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=b14426a2c5af2 65f2213d98ee45f08d7&mforum=iworktipsntrick
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Export your Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx and trash/archive Pages 5.
    Then rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store where other users might see it before committing.
    I also suggest you let your disappontment be known wherever Pages 5 is reviewed. There is an unfortunate tendency for people who never use Pages or barely use it to parrot the old line that if Apple removed it nobody was using the features.
    This is the same asinine thinking that suggests if you never live in or vist any part of your city that it is OK for it to be bulldozed overnight.

  • Why will Apple notes will not sync. with iPod or iPad

    Why will Apple notes not sysc with iPod or IPad from Mountain Lion?

    IMAP is a type of e-mail account.
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/imap
    Apple says you can use an IMAP account to sync notes, but I haven't yet spotted how you set this up. iCloud is easy and free, though, and for me at least has worked quite well to sync my notes among all my devices.
