Installer unable to validate security update- help please

i keep getting installer unable to install...security updates 2010-03/quicktime updates and so on. Why is this happening and how can i fix it. I have tried Onyx and clean my mac to try and clean up files in hopes it will randomly update and fix. im getting frustrated right now and I need some advise and direction. Onyx says my volume is ok.

Move all the files that have softwareupdate in their title out of your user's /Library/Preferences/ and ByHost subfolder, restart, and try again. If that doesn't do it, then boot with your Leopard install disk and reinstall it, selecting the Archive & Install, saving user and network settings, option. If that fixes the issue, run Software Update and bring the OS back up to 10.5.8. If not, then I'm out of ideas.

Unable to validate security for resource 'EXTRANETLOOK'

We have UCM 10gR3 installed. We have Extranetlook component installed along with WebDAV. Currently when the users take any action that they don't have privilege to, they come accross Unable to validate security for resource 'EXTRANETLOOK'error message. Before it use to give exact error message so that it was easy for us to troubleshoot. Recently due to some changes in the settings in the system, we started seeing this error message instead of actual error message something like Unable to retrieve page. User 'abc ' does not have sufficient privileges. Is there a way to suppress thie Extrenet look error message so that the actual message comes through?
thanks,

Thanks for the response Bernhard. I'd like to address some of the points you mentioned:
possibly you have not the permissions to add resources
-I am an owner of both the PWA and the project subsite
there are no resources inside your project plan (you have to use the "Build Team" in the Ribbon)
-I checked the "Build Team" list and confirmed there are a dozen users in there
not each view allows you to edit each field
-I've tried switching views and noticed that there are other fields that I cannot add values into including: Actual Start, Actual Finish, Baseline Finish, % Work Complete. I am able to change the Task Name, Start, Finish.
Very strange problem. Im still doing development on it but obviously cant roll this into production when users cannot add information to tasks.

Macbook wont install newest Security Update! Please Help.

My mac is running on OS X 10.8.3, but when I try to install the newest security update, I'm told that I need to have OS X 10.7?
Not sure what to do? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

You've installed it already. It's part of the Mac OS X 10.8.3 updater.

Keep beeping, cannot start, after installing security update. Please help.

I just apply the security update today in my MacBook (aluminum), but then the laptop cannot start.
When starting, it beeps 3X, pauses, then beeps 3X, pauses, and so on - never stops.
I press the power button to stop, but when pressing the power button back on, this keeps happening.
Does somebody also have this kind of issue? What should I do?
Sorry if I may have repeated other reports, I just cannot find here. I googled a bit and somebody tells that beeping 3X relates to graphics device problem. What should I do with this?
Thanks

Hi T,
Yes, that is the key we all are getting while the announced shows the key first presented in the update released as 2010-001, back in January. Nothing else reported besides the SHA1 diff.
I am sorry to tell you but this issue would hardly, if not ever, be related to the update. It seams to be the hardware fault in fact, test each memory in each slot, one at a time trying to boot the 4 times, 3 in the case, you are already up with this mem/slot combination.
Good luck.

Manual installation of Flash CS4 security update patch fails

Vista Home Premium
CS4 Design Premium
Am attempting to install Windows flash_player_update2_flash10
using the Admin account. Followed these instructions:
1. Quilt Flash CS4 Professional (NOTE: actually closed all
programs)
2. Right click flash_player_update2_flash10.zip
3. Select Extract All....
4. Extract the contents of the file to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Flash CS4\
5. When asked to replace the existing Players folder, choose
Yes
Shortly after giving administrative okay to the install and
clicking "yes" to the "copy and replace" popup, I get a Windows
popup with this message:
"Windows found that this file is potentially harmful. To help
portect your computer, Windows has blocked access to the file.
Name: FlashPlayer.exe" OK"
No options on the popup except "OK" whichs stops the
installation. I realize this is a Windows issue, but it's also a
CS4 installation issue. (I find it extremely ironic that Windows
detects the installation of a security update as a security issue.)
Any suggestions?

You're going to get a lot more attention in the Flash forum than you
will here.

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.

Cannot open itunes now I've downloaded the update - help please

I launched my itunes and had a message asking did I want to install the updated version. When it finished installing it said it needed to shutdown and restart - which I did. When I tried to reopen itunes from the shortcut it said it cannot open it coz some files are missing. Can anyone help please. I have contacted apple and although i've had my phone for over 90 days they have emailed me steps on how to uninstalled and reinstall safely. However, once I got the email, the first thing it tells me to do is to launch itunes which I can't do. can anyone help please? Many thanks.

Hi,
Try the following
First of all, see if you can uninstall your current version of HP Support Assistant by using the Microsoft 'Fixit' on the following link - this is particularly useful in correcting issues that may prevent reinstallation on machines running a 64bit OS.
http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall
If this completes, restart the PC.
Next download and install the latest version of HP Support Assistant from the page on the link below - the download links are towards the bottom of the page.
http://h18021.www1.hp.com/helpandsupport/hp-support-assistant.html
After the installation, restart the PC again.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Or
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Unable to install Security Update 2008-003 (Intel)

Software update found the security update, but when I tried to install it there was some error and the installer pkg was moved to the trash. Software update recognized this, told me it happened and that I should try to open the pkg manually. Still didn't work. I went to the Apple Downloads page, downloaded the update again, and that one wouldn't install either.
Anyone else having this problem?
Any ideas?

ok, it took me a while to get disk first aid going. found a bunch of incorrect permissions that needed repairing, but otherwise no problems.
I wanted to get my new backup hard drive before I started messing with the install disk, so it's been many steps.
I've got software update trying again now.......
I think it may have worked!
tells me I have to restart. =) Yay!

Installer unable to validate contents of Additional Speech Voices

Trying to upgrade my G5 tower from 10.4.11 to 10.5. I have tried an Upgrade and finally Archive and Install, deselecting Additional Fonts and most of the Printer Drivers that I don't use. It always fails with this similar message. "The installer could not validate the contents of the "AdditionalSpeechVoices" package. Contact the software manufacture for assistance. Please restart and install again.
Any suggestions?

After the language page of the installer pull down the Utilities menu at the top and select System Profiler. In the sidebar on the left, select Memory. It may say a bank of RAM is empty that your know has RAM in it, or some message that the RAM is bad.
If so, try removing the additional RAM chip and installing again. If it installs Leopard, you can replace the RAM (after shutting down, unplugging, etc., of course).

Logging after installation of lthe last Security Update

I have installed the last security update on my Imac. When the system restart instead of opening the logging window for user selection a console start (black screen) and ask for login.
Do you know how i can repair ths problem and re open my Imac
Thanks
I Mac Flower Power Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The same thing is happening to me, and I am a couple of applications I try to use "unexpectedly quit" when I open them--applications that I updated immediately after the Security Update. Also, my computer will not recognize my external La Cie hard drive! Help!

Can't connect to get 2.2 update - Help please!

I'm trying to sync my iPhone. I click "check for updates". My computer is connected to the internet. But I get the message "iTunes could no contact the iPhone software update server because you are not connected to the internet." However, I can access iTunes and buy songs.
Any idea why I can't access the update?
Also - my Exchange email hasn't been able to connect for a week. IT just say s "connecting" at the bttom of the email screen and the dial just keeps going in circles.
Could all of this be related?
Thanks for your help!

If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.1.3. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).
Tip 2 - If you're updating via wifi, place your iPad close to your router to preclude getting a corrupted download.

3GS update help please.

Hi,i updated 3gs through itunes and i thought it worked,however it will not activate neither thru itunes or wifi.i have restored with no success.im now stuck with a phone that i cant go forward or backwards with.any help please before i go mad?
The phone does say connected to itunes sometimes however itunes just says "cannot activate at the moment please try again later"

Sounds to me like the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it. If that's the case, the update has bricked it. It will not be able to activate.
If it was jailbroken or hacked, we can not help you here.
