HT203107 Software Update 2014-005 on Mac OS 10.8.5 just fails.

regardless whether I used the App Store or the .dmg file, this update fails at the end!
No reason is given. Where to find the respective entries in the system log?
Users are just told to contact the software provider, which I'm doing now ;-)

Thanks for this clarification.
Meanwhile I found the reason for the installation trouble I had mistakenly reported in this forum - in case anyone is interested:
Having a look at /var/log/install.log, the following error was given there:
PKInstallErrorDomain Code=121 "An error occurred while updating system extension information."
Eventually I found the right hint to cure this problem at
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4188064?start=0&tstart=0 XCode 4.4.1 fail to install Mobiledevice.pkg on the first start
namely to temporarily move away /System/Library/Extensions/{HuaweiDataCardDriver.kext,Vodafone.kext,VodafoneFil ter.kext}
while (manually) installing the update package in question.

Gray spot since Security Update 2014-005 1.0 ?

Hello, yesterday I installed “Security Update 2014-005 1.0” on a Mid 2010 27’’ iMac running Mavericks 10.9.5 and a small gray spot appeared at the upper left corner of the screen, above the Apple logo. I know that dust enters sometimes to the screen but this is something different. It looks as if the pixels of that area were darkened (but not completely turned off). The spot remains the same size when applying the zoom or changing screen resolution. On white backgrounds it almost disappears. It is not reflected on screen captures.
Later on, I upgraded the system to Yosemite but the spot remained.
It’s about half a centimeter so maybe it’s just a coincidence that I noticed it exactly after installing the security update.
Anyone experiencing something similar?

I discovered another problem: Image retention.
The picture is from the menu bar area, it reads “Safari Archivo Edición” (“Safari File Edit” in english). The other spots are just dust from my camera lens.
Image retention only appears around that upper left corner area of the screen. I’m doing tests to see how permanent the retention is. It could be that the screen is physically damaged, but maybe it’s just a software bug since I noticed the gray dark spot only after installing the software updates.

Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Security Update 2014-005 1.0 is trying to install a second time

Security Update 2014-005 1.0 has already been installed and is part of the "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days" Above that there is "1 Update Available" but it is the same one I have already installed. Unfortunately, I didn't pay attention to it at first and tried to finish installing it by hitting the RESTART button..... the iMac tried to restart but stayed doing the spinning circle of death.... I waited for 30mins and nothing happened. I ended up unplugging the power a restarted the iMac and it appears to be running fine. However, 1 available update remains and continues prompting to install. How can I clear this update???

Then the problem is on your computer or you are running Yosemite. If it's the former then start with:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion or Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Lion disables system info and software update in about this mac

hey guys I have problem with lion when I reboot lion,
it disables system info and software update in "about this mac"
actually it says "this button is disabled because there is no system profiler application" or "this button is disabled because there is no software update application"
and also everytime when I reboot my computer it always changes default applicatons. for example
it changes from VLC player to quicktime, from Archive utility to textEdit and so on.
each time i got to reinstall "Afloat application" if i want to use it.
for making them ok I just need to open software updater from system pref. and the button becomes visible again.
it is same with the system info. I gotto search system profiler via spotlight search and I run, button becomes visible again.
for the archieve utility i got to go to coreservices and open Archieve utility then automatically it becomes default app for .zip files again.

Did you just install Lion? If so, you might need to try to reinstall as something got messed up.
Alfoat uses SIMBL which will break at just about every update. The reason you may have to keep installing Afloat is because the Resume feature of Lion is not compatible with SIMBL. See here: http://roaringapps.com/app:383
SIMBL is a low-level system hack and may be causing your problems.

HT6531 Anyone else getting kernel panics after Security update 2014-005?

I have a user with a brand new MBP, running 10.9.5 who installed Security Update 2014-005 on Friday morning. Ever since then, the machine has been crashing with kernel panics. We've done the usual Disk Util, etc. and it keeps happening. It would be terribly disruptive to have to rebuild the entire machine.

I am new to this forum. Just installed adobe iplayer for the numerous time. Then decided to have a software update immediately on my mac computer. Then a a small screen appeared afterwards stating the maleware virus was removed. What do I do now?

Just installed adobe iplayer for the umpteeth time.
Then decided to have a software update immediately on my mac.
Then a small screen appeared afterwards stating maleware virus removed.
What do I do now? Was not aware that I had a virus in the first place.

That latest update is a removal tool for the Flashback trojan.
One of the ways the earlier versions of that trojan were distributed was through fake Adobe Flash downloaders.
Why are you repeatedly installing Adobe Flash Player? (not iPlayer - that's a BBC thing.)
The only place from which to get the Flash Player plug-in is directly from Adobe themselves - Never Trust a Pop Up that says you have a missing plugin!
Also be aware that the Flash Player is not a standalone player; it's a plug-in which installs in the Library and is available for all the browsers to use.
As for what you do now?
Nothing for the moment - you should be clear.
But to be on the safe side, go to the Prefences for each of your browsers and disable Java (not JavaScript - that's a whole different animal). As Java is the vector used by the most recent versions, that should ensure you don't get reinfected.

Cannot connect to; Software Update, iTunes or the Mac App Store.

I updated to Lion on launch day and had problems with Software Update, iTunes and the Mac App Store connecting to the internet.
I was completely connected to the interent, so people told me to wait it out as the servers were probably struggling.
However, it's been two weeks and I still get this message:
It's the same with iTunes as well as the mac app store.
I'm at a loss as I can't update my computer.
Anyone else have the same problem?

This solution work fine with me :
1. Systems Preferences -> Network
2. Under "Wi-Fi", click on the "Advanced" button.
3. Under the "DNS" tab, add the Google Public DNS - 8.8.8.8
4. Click OK, then click Apply.
5. Turn WiFi OFF, then turn it back ON again.

Unable to Reboot After Software Update - Unable to Reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10

Hello,
I just bought a Macmini 9 months ago, and I believe I may need to either erase the HD to reinstall the original Mac OS (10.4.10) or else replace it. However, I am not familiar with Mac and don't know how to reformat the disk. Can anyone help?
Each time there is a software update, I experience problems starting up from the HD. After the last update a few days ago, I am unable to start up from the HD at all. I tried using the original install CD 1 to reinstall Mac OS 10.4.10 with archiving. However, I received an error saying "unable to install because there is a newer version already installed." Therefore, I tried to start up from the HD again by pressing Option key at startup, but the Macmini continously turned off by itself without rebooting. I tried reinstalling Mac OS with the erase option, but it failed. After that, the Mac OS install CD1 only gives me the option to reinstall additional applications, but when I select continue, there is not HD shown to install the applications.
Disk Utility First Aid on CD1 was unable to repair the disk. I received the following messages: "Invalid sibling link", "Volume check failed", "The underlying task reported failure on exit", "1 HFS volume checked", "1 volume could not be repaired because of an error."
At the bottom of the page under Disk Utility, the following information about the disk is available. Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled); Capacity: 111.5 GB (119,690,149,888 Bytes); Available: - ; Used: - ; Number of Files: - ; Owners Enabled: - ; Number of Folders: - .
System Profiler is able to identify type, disk identifier, file system, etc. It shows the volume supports journaling, but is not journaled.
Scan Image for Restore shows Library_Preferences (Empty), and Root applications are all grayed out.
I performed the Apple Hardware Test (ver 3A129) by pressing D at startup. The test ran for 5 minutes and 6 seconds. It reported "No trouble found".
It seems the HD is empty, but the install CD is not offering any options to reinstall the OS, only the additional applications. I believe it is a partition error, but I am not familiar with Mac and hesitate to proceed any further.
How do I reformat the disk so that I can reinstall the original Mac OS 10.4 and 10.5?
Your help is sincerely appreciated. Thanks.

Good news!
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Software update 14 Java for Mac 10.6.8 gave me 27 permissions errorsI found 29 permissions errors.Disk Utility and Onyx cannot repair.

first time I contact Apple Support Communities
I have re-installed Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro(permissions = ok) and each Software update proposed by Apple.
After each software update installation, I have checked the permissions being ok.
But after install update 14 Java for Mac OS X 10.6.8 (proposed by Apple), I found 27 permissions errors. Disk Utility as well as Onyx cannot repair. (in fact they repair and if you check again you still have those 27 permissions errors)
It concern mainly System/library/Java/Java Virtual Machine + System/Library/Framewoks/JavaVM.Framework and System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.Bundle
Do you have an idea how to get rid of those 27 permissions errors.
Thanks in advance

As long as the report ends up with 'Permissions repair complete' then, as far as permissions go, you are fine. You can ignore the various statements in the report:
Permissions you can ignore on 10.5 onwards:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
Using 'should be -rw-r--r-- , they are lrw-r--r--' as an example, you will see the that the permissions are not changed, but the | indicates a different location. This is because an update to Leopard onwards changed the location of a number of system components.

"Unexpected Error" stops all software updates, except for non-mac downloads

Hello,
first of all i have tried to find answers to the question i have by searching through the forums. I searched for a couple days, but i have not found any answers as of yet.
When i go to download anything from software update the download will complete and as it is being installed it will stop and say that "the update 'blah-blah-blah' cant be installed - sorry, an unexpected error occurred."
it then says that what was downloaded was moved to the trash and so on.
i have downloaded a couple updates by themselves manually and they will go all the way till the actual installization and then stop and say there was an error.
i am fairly new to macs and i really have no idea whats going on. i have downloaded various programs, such as AIM, and videos and they all worked fine.
if any one could help it would greatly be appreciated.
thank you very much for your time.

Try the following:
Boot from your OS X Installer. Be sure to use the installer for the version of OS X you have installed. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (or Utilities menu if using Tiger.) After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
For additional info see the following:

What to do after Software Updates... (new mac user)

Greetings, Enjoying my Mac after years of Windows Certifications.
This is a simple question that I feel I already know the answer to, however I would like confirmation.
After doing some recent updates, 2 .app were downloaded per instructions and ran Both the MBAir Firmware update, and Bluetooth Update. However these update applications are still in my Utilities folder. They have been successfully installed. (Confirmed)
Is it safe to move these .app to the trash? Or are they contain possible uninstall/go back information much like Windows does with the hidden NT$ files on the root of the system folder after doing Windows Updates.

I believe you can remove these files once they're installed. They can always be downloaded again if they're needed. Similar to the iPod updates, when you download them they're stored in the Utilities folder, but only the latest one is really needed, and even that can be re-downloaded if needed.
Enjoy your Mac!
