Huge problem after Safari 3.1 and new security update

I just installed the new SAFARI 3.1 as well as the security update and I am SCREWED! (unless a genius here can help out).
After the install and restart my desktop picture is sligthy blown up but worse -it essentially floats when I move the mouse. As such, it can obscure the top of the image which "hides" the Apple pull down options AND I canot get the dock to reveal at the bottom of the frame. In a word - screwed.
Any thoughts?
thanks
Theo

looks like I figured this out on my own - it was the zoom function that had somehow been activated.
It all seems to be working fine now once I set that

  • Start up problems after Safari 3.1 and Security update

    Updated safari and security update last night.
    Safari downloaded and installed but there was an error downloading or installing the security update, I forgot.
    After I restarted everything booted up fine, but was stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen.
    Did a fsck and zap the pram, still stuck.
    Today I tried booting up in safe mode, stuck on the gray screen with the apple logo.
    Then I tried booting up from an external firewire dvd drive. Repaired permissions, repaired the disk, but it is still stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen. Help please...
    Thank you

    Ok i had a similar problem, with all the recent updates for Leopard, including the 10.5.2 combo update... the 12" PowerBook G4 kept getting stuck on the grey apple and spinning wheel... if it managed to get past this it would get stuck on the blue screen!!!
    The way i got around this, after trying all these other tips was: Archived & Installed 10.5; restarted, waited; downloaded 10.5.2 Combo update, installed; restarted, waited; waited; waited; after getting back to desktop, restarted, waited; then ran Software Update only installing one at a time, and after each install, restarted, waited; when all Software updates completed, proceeded with iLife updates etc... It took a while (still quicker than the 3 days of failed installs and updates) with a lot of waiting on the blue screen (5-20mins) but we got there in the end. Disks where checked with Leopard Disk Utility before and after, permissions where checked before and after completing all installs, also with a DW 4.1 optimization. Also note worthy is the RAM was upgraded from the initial 256Mb (!!!) with an extra Gb.

  • Problems with sending POP mail since new "Security Update"

    Hi, I seem to be having problems sending mail from POP account - and it started after the latest Security Update that I recently downloaded. From memory it was 110Mb file.
    My ISP and POP account service both say it is nothing to do with them.
    Any ideas?
    This is on my MacBook Pro running 10.4.11

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Use Disk Utility to verify/Repair the HD, then Repair Permissions then reboot, if the problems persist try reinstalling the update...

  • I am having problems with my hotmail email and new software update. It keeps asking me for my password even though the email account has been verified. Please help

    It keeps asking me to re- enter the password. Is there something that I am doing wrong, the account has been verified but as soon as I exit out of settings it will ask me to re-enter my password.

    I have done this and keeps saying the same thing. I have even tried setting my account through Microsoft exchange but no luck

  • Tiger going crazy on iBook G4 with new security update and Safari 3

    I'm running 10.4.11, 1.42GHz PPC G4 with 1.5GB of SDRAM.
    So I ran software update where I noticed new Security Update and Safari update.
    I tried to run the new Safari - Nothing, it's dead, no action! ( could hear hard drive but no action)
    Today I tried running 'Software Update', it's spinning it's wheels, over and over again.
    I'm sure Apple is working on sending me an email, as they got the skinny when the program crashed I forwarded the system message.
    So a bit frustrated hear, I'm using Safari and getting to know Camino.
    The Biggest frustration is that 'Mail' will not boot up so I use my internet to check mail, bummer.
    So lets hope we get some info soon.

    If you are operating behind a proxy server, maybe this will help.
    With regards to crashes from behind a proxy server, I came up with a work around!
    I have been using Automatic proxy configuration using a .pac file. That seems to be causing the error.
    After inspecting the .pac file, and following the if, ifelse path, at the very bottom is a proxy address and port for unclassified connections. Mine looks like this
    proxy.sun.ac.za Port :####
    I have put this into my System Preferences for all connection types, manually. This is found under, System Preferences: Built-in Ethernet: Configure Manually...
    Then you need to go through the box on the left and check each box. As you do so, paste the default proxy address and port in the open boxes on the right.
    Hope this work around helps. My Quicktime is still not working for my older .avi files.

  • New Security Update and now apple based programs will not run

    I recently downloaded and installed the new security update. I also attempted to download the safari 3.1 update, but an error occurred during download. After restart, iTunes, Mail, Safari, Installer and iMovie will not start (Quicktime will start). The applications from bar and from applications folder will not launch. All third party apps seem to work (I used Explorer 5.2-which I found hidden in one of my folders- to download firefox which I am using now)
    I have tried:
    -Reinstalling most recent Leopard Update (10.4.11), which fails to even start because Installer crashes
    -Deleting preference files
    -Using disk utility
    -Booting from safe mode and single user mode
    -Running repair permissions from prompt screen (command-s)
    -"Problem Report for Installer" reads:

  • New Security Update - Airport no longer works. Help ?

    Hey all
    this morning I ran various software updates: itunes, safari and the new security update. From that moment onwards, I cannot access the internet using my MacBook (about a year old, running Mac OS X 10.4.11). I normally use Firefox to access the net, but neither that nor Safari work now.
    I know my internet works as I can access it wirelessly using my work laptop and my desktop.
    But when I try to access my broadband using my macbook:
    a) the "waves" on the airport all remain light-shaded
    b) I receive an error message saying " There was an error joining the Airport network 'Zyxel' " (the router is zyxel).
    If anyone has any thoughts on how to reset the connnection back to how it was, I'd be EXTREMELY grateful.
    thanks

    Having the same problem, but only with my Mac. PC and iPhone continue to work fine. Must be security update related. Is there a way to uninstall the security update?

  • No sleep after installing recent java, daylight savings & security updates

    After installing the recent java, daylight savings, and the security update, my computer would crash and upon startup would act funny showing a b&W screen with typewriter type asking me to keyboard in directions ie. "shut-down".
    I was able to reset the PMU and now it will not sleep on it's own, and when I send it to sleep, it wakes up after a few minutes.

    This is for a Mac that won't sleep.
    First, read things in Apple doc.#25801 on sleep settings.
    Here is Apple doc.#303698 with their tips.
    Mine follow;
    USB devices and hubs often cause Macs to not sleep or wake quickly from sleep (notably HP printers and scanners, HP all in ones, and Cannon scanners). Disconnect all USB except for keyboard and mouse and try. If it sleeps, add one back at a time testing after each one to find the culprit.
    If you've set your Mac to recieve faxes, it may not be able to sleep. It might also have a damaged preferences file.
    If you use your Mac for faxing, open System Preferences. click Print & Fax, click the Faxing tab, and uncheck the Recieve Faxes On This Computer box.
    If that does'nt work or you've never faxed on your Mac, go to Finder/Hard Drive /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and delete the com.apple.PowerManagement.plist and com..apple.AutoWake.plist files (if your Mac asks, type your admin. password).
    If the latter file isn't present in the folder, go to user name(probably your name)/Library/Preferences, delete the com.apple.systemuiserver.plist file, and reboot your Mac.
    Hope this helps!
    P.S. One member here reported this (Michael Gleason);
    "I have had this problem with my IMac G5. It is surprisingly irritating. LaCie's Silverkeeper backup software was the cause. By default it gave itself permission to wake up the computer to check if a backup was needed. Do you have this or a similar program installed which has scheduled activities including wake-up permissions as an option?"
    Dave Hamilton provided this link, xlr8yourmac.com, to a member, which addresses failure of deep sleep with some users that updated and added new FireWire and USB cards.
    tomhorvat adds this; After few days of messing around I found out that I had desktop background (wallpaper) set to change every 1 minute.
    After unchecking "Change picture..." in system preferences (under Desktop/Screen saver), my powerbook went to sleep all by itself.
    Cheers!

  • This is IMPORTANT!!  New Security Update Available Now!

    Gang,
    I think Apple has fixed our problems. There is a new Security Update, and it seems to be working. I've been struggling for weeks with my computer, especially with Safari. Get the update. I think it will make a difference. - R.T.

    the command in terminal
    more /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta. plist
    should bring as a result something like:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
    <plist version="1.0">
    <dict>
            <key>LastModification</key>
            <string>Fri, 03 Jun 2011 00:13:07 GMT</string>
            <key>Version</key>
            <integer>3</integer>
    </dict>
    </plist>
    If it shows version not 3 or grather (<integer>3</integer>) try to force my Mac to update its malware definitions, I launched System Preferences > Security > General, and then unchecked and re-checked the box in front of "Automatically update safe downloads list."
    and tun the command in terminal again to check if it is updated.

  • Is the New Security Update Working on My Computers?

    I have noticed that the XProtect.plist on 2 different computers have never updated since I installed the new Security Update on June 1. I have an Apple Care Product Specialist trying to figure it out.
    But, I ran across this (pasted below) today when checking Console, and if anyone can dechiper logs, maybe some independent analysis will tell me why I'm not getting the "MacDefender" scan this security update was supposed to provide (and why the subject .plist  has never updated since installing the Security Update on 2 10.6.7 Intel iMacs 4 days ago).
    If anyone can dechiper the log and tell me what I might do to correct this problem, kudos!

    which should show something like this (the time might be different):
    If you're not seeing version 5, then manually download and reinstall the update.

  • New Security update ipod touch 4th gen

    I was down loading a few new apps/games for my 32gb 4th gen ipod touch using the ipod it's self  last nite 18-9-2011, after they where down loaded i connected my ipod to my computers itunes i went in the back up stage copying the app's/games to my itunes library, after this was done an message poped up on both my computer and ipod touch saying new Security update ipod touch 4th gen it satrting to download and i could not cancel it, now i know my ipod has the 16 digt passcode set up on it so now everytime i link my ipod to any of my auhorised computer it say itunes can not connect to my ipod as its passcoded which i think is an good thing because if i lose it anybody finding it if i lose it can't restore it. but is there any way of my computer been able to know its pass code with out haveing to enter it in to the ipod its self all the time

    I looked at the descriptions for the last three update and none said they did anything about entering the passcode.  The Apple documentation says you should only have to enterthe passcode the first time you connect to the computer.  Specifically:
    If you protect your iPhone or iPod touch with a passcode, you will be prompted to enter the passcode when you connect to iTunes. Once you successfully enter the passcode, iTunes will recognize that device as authorized and you will not need your passcode to back up or sync.

  • Kernel Panics with new security update

    Anyone else having this problem? Downloaded the new security update, installed, restarted (took a very long time to restart) the computer rebooted itself and then began to kernel panic every time I booted it. Works fine if I boot into windows so seems to be something the new software update broke. Anyone else having similar issues?

    Well I am having a weird problem. This is my first post so I am not sure if I need to make a new post, but here goes.
    I installed the Security Update 2007-005 (PowerPC) on May 31 on my MacBook Pro. I can't be certain but I think since I installed it I have a spinning ball and can't do much of anything. Like something is bogging it down. It will eventually stop but will start again the minute I do anything... something is just not right. I have tried all troubleshooting techniques but found it is not possible to even try them.
    Safe Boot... It automatically decides to shut down before it gets to the safe boot screen.
    Disk Utility... Restarting off the disk, yes, but when I run the program I get "could not unmount disk"
    Trying to run fsck -y, in single user mode (command s)... I get "Volume is journaled. No checking performed. Use the -f option to force checking.
    I have no idea what to do next. I guess I will try to reinstall my system off my disks. Does anyone have any ideas... please help this is taking up so much time.
