Install security update

Trying to install the latest security update after downloading, it only gives one option ie (hard dick), however it will not allow it. can anyone please advise

AFAIK, there's no security update available for Snow Leopard. If you downloaded the one for Leopard, you won't be able to install it.

HT1222 My internet speed has slowed to a crawl after installing security update 2015-003. Any ideas on how to fix?

I have a mini mac with 8GB ram and running yosemite OS. I recently installed security update 2015-003 and now my internet connectivity have slowed to a crawl. sometimes if I turn wi-fi off and then back on the speed returns to normal but sometimes it does not. Any ideas what may be causing the slow internet speed?

Please check the speed of your connection on this site.
Then start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. Check again. Then restart as usual and post the results.

After installing security update 10.6.8 I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will permit certain root processes, e.g. configd, to receive unsolicited messages from the internet. What are the consequences of denying these requests?

After installing security update 10.6.8 last night I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will allow incoming network connections to certain root processes, e.g. configd. I didn't see these dialog boxes prior to installing 10.6.8. How do I make informed decisions? In other words,
(1) Where can I find 25-word summary descriptions of these processes?
(2) Where can I find discussions of the consequences of granting or denying these requests?
Alternatively (and at some risk of revealing metaphysical doubt) why am I being asked for these permissions? And who expects me to make correct decisions?
I have turned on th standard-issue OS X firewall and am running my system in stealth mode.

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.

Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open. Have rstrated but no change, need help to fix, please

Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open, I have rebooted twice with no effect, I don't know what else to do to get my itunes back. Need help please

Believe I've firxed my problem, at least, ITunes is now working again. I followed the information provided from a couple of posts on this thread, (1) re restarting with command-s held down; did it twice, made no differerence; (2) manually re-installed the Security update; no difference; each time restarting, no effect; (3) shutdown the computer; I did for 35 minutes, upon restart, ITunes is back to normal, seems to be working fine. Turning the computer off must clear the cache?

Printing problems after installing Security Update 2015-002

After installing Security Update 2015-002 on three separate computers on two different WiFi networks, printers on the network are losing their connections to the computers that can print to them. We have experienced this on a network running a Canon printer and an HP printer - both have disappeared on the network although the printer suggests it is still connected to the network. The same thing has happened on a separate network I manage with a single HP printer on that network. I have tried removing the printers, resetting the printers etc. Nothing is working. I can get one print out of a printer when I turn the printer off and then on. Three minutes later the printer is no longer connected to the computer - although still connected to the network. Please Help.

I think I have figured out that it is in fact the Apple Extreme Base Station that is losing the printer. It is very odd because the printer is connected to the Wifi. My computer is connected to the WiFi and connecting to the internet. The Router for the internet can see the printer. An Apple Extreme is then connected via a network cable in Bridge mode to the router. When I turned the power off the The Apple Extreme and then restored power it all worked. was still working this morning, but again this afternoon I needed to reboot Apple Extreme. It is quite strange that this is happening on two different Networks in different parts of the country at the same time. Maybe the Security Update is somehow affecting/blocking communication with the printer? I just don't know enough. These networks have been up and running with the same printers and computers for years with zero problems - all of a sudden we have the same problem on both Networks.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

All application slow to molasse after Installing Security-Update 2010_007

After installing security update, ALL applications, all commands in X11 had response times ALL key strokes of the order of seconds to minutes with >93% of system CPU idle. Console displays the message below ever 60-70 seconds.
11/11/10 4:25:36 PM updatedyld_sharedcache[12] for arch=i386 failed: read failure copying dylib errno=5 for /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib while copying /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib to shared cache
The solution is a modification of this link
http://www.macosxhints.ch/forums/showthread.php?t=15517
Basically, the offending file /System/.../LibLAPACK.dylib is moved from the system directory to a current directory, e.g.,
sudo mv /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib .
and then back to the original directory, e.g.,
sudo mv libLAPACK.dylib /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib
Problem solved without reboot as system immediately returns to normal. Why would a security update from Apple cause this?

Andreas, do you have this info in english? I'm having a similar problem, and I want to see if I can solve it; or could you tell me what you did to solve it?
Here's the message I'm getting every minute from the console:

Snow Leopard.
Corrected problem by updating Adobe Flash~ even though I just updated it two days ago~ but that solved the problem.

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

HT1338 Unable to install security Update 2012-004

I am unable to update my Mac (OS X Version 10.6.8) with the latest security update 2012-004 despite numerous attempts and even visitng the store and trying to install manually, HELP !
I can check for software updates that are available and click on the install & restart option but when the computer reboots an new software update check produces the exact same results. The software clearly isn't upadating. I initially had 2 updates - the other being Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 11. After fiddling around for ages I managed to get this update installed by going to the downloads page and installing directly. However, I have had no sucess with the Security update. The last Security update installed was 2012-002. I have tried to find and install Security Update 2012-3 without sucess.

Try reinstalling the Snow Leopard combo update (again). If it has already been done it won't hurt to do it again on top of the existing one.
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Restart your machine and then try to download the security update 2012 -004 which I believe is the latest.

HT1338 Hi, I'm trying to load Facetime on my MacBook and it says "You are missing a critical security patch. Please use Software Update to install Security Update 2010-005". I've checked and all my software is updated. What do I do?

First off, iOS 5 will not run on Macs. You need to give us your Mac OS X on your Mac to determine which security update you need. Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac. And then read the link here:

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.

Applications crashing after installing security update 2010-003

Hi all, anyone else having this problem (and found a solution)? After installing security update 2010-003 on snow 10.6.3, entourage, firefox, and even itunes are crashing at launch. Safari seems stable, but haven't tried other apps yet. Verified permissions on my boot disk and repaired it but the problem persists. It started after rebooting after installing the security update. I'll reinstall the OS if needed but hoping this is a bug someone has solved. Thanks!

Missing SENT & REPLY email msgs after installing Security Update 2006-008

I'm using Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2) to handle my Mac.com and Comcast email traffic.
Today I realized that I cannot access/find any of my outgoing email messages sent prior to January 2, 2007. Any emails that I sent prior to that date are missing from my "SENT" mailbox(es). Also, whenever I click on the "Reply" icon next to an incoming email that I answered (prior to 1/2/07) a window pops up with the following message:
"Mail was unable to find your response to the message “(fill in the blank)”. You may have deleted the message."
I am 100% certain that I did NOT delete any of these sent messges.
Coincidentally (?) I installed Security Update 2006-008 (PowerPC) on January 2, 2007 as well. Did this update cause my sent messages to be deleted? Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any suggestions to recover/find my missing emails?
Thanks!

I’ll be out for several ours. If Spotlight cannot find those messages, it probably means that they’ve indeed been deleted for some reason. In that case, if you don’t have a backup, your only option would be to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

Can't Install Security Update 2007-009 With Software Update

I tried to install Security Update 2007-009 on a 10.5.1 G4 system, but the installation fails with an "unknown error". Here are the details:
1) Software Update downloads the file and ask to Restart
2) Get to the blue screen
3) See these messages "Preparing target volume" and "Configuring installation"
4) Get this error message:
The update "Security Update 2007-009" can't be installed.
The installer encountered an unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
5) Restart
I then deleted the "Security Update 2007-009" folder from Library->Updates and tried the update again, but got the same error.
Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks.

I installed Security Update 2007-009 via Software Update and received the following error:
"Security Update 2007-009 can't be installed. The installer could not validate the contents of the SecUpd2007-009 package."
I ran Disk Utility (twice) to ensure that the permissions were in order and received the following report on both occasions:

Permissions repair complete
Regarless, I downloaded the update directly from Apple Support located here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate2007009111051.html
And 2007-009 installation complete without a hitch. I have no idea what is going on with the permissions (any recommendations) but I have not found any other problems since this update was installed.
I hope this helps.
