Lastest security update hosed my G5 PM

Background: I have a dual G5 PM with two on board drives (one connected into a Seritek adaptor). In the past I have had issues with it waking from sleep (it would shut off at the gray apple revolving circle) and after rebooting, it would sometimes quit during boot, especially after updates.
*Current condition:* After restart with this new security update the primary drive would quit during boot as described above. Then, after resetting pram and PMU, I booted into the secondary backup drive and checked the primary HD for permissions and verified it. All reported was OK.
So then I tried to boot into the primary hd again. But again it continued to quit at the gray screen. So I went back to the secondary drive and verified the the first HD. This time it came up with errors that DU and DriveGenius could not fix. I then decided to wipe it clean and reinstall/clone. At this time I also installed the update to the second drive. The Primary drive install went OK using the Tiger disk, but, when it finished and I tried to boot the primary again to install settings and files, but then I discovered that neither HDs would boot.
Most recently I tried resetting the firmware and running the Apple hardware test, but that crashes the PM during the logic board test.
Any suggestions, other than get a new Mac, would be appreciated.

Well it turns out that I have mercifully been spared logic board problems...this time. It turns out that the last security update screwed up my hardrive's Seritek PCI adaptor. Firmtek's webssite had several methods to get back up and running again, but it sure took a while reinstalling everything.

No wireless Internet after the lastest security update

Everything was working fine,but since i did the latest security update,...i noticed my wireless internet connection was getting weaker and weaker and now i can't connect anymore.
I'm using a Belkin PCcard in my Powerbook G4 Titanium 867 GHZ
Connected to a Belkin Wireless router.My Belkin Card is recognized as airport express in the system profiler.
We also have a Ibook G4 800GHZ with an orginal airport extreme card , same problems too, no connection to our Belkin router.
As i wrote earlier everything was working fine.....
internet works fine with the standard UTP rj45 cable..
What i did , Repaired all the permission, restarted the router, removed the airportkext2 file as suggested on some postings etc etc (later put it back ofcourse)... but no solution...
Must be something with the latest, update I hope Apple solves this issue soon, any help from you Macwizards really appreciated.

Has the lastest security update caused problems for anyone else?

Since the latest security update things have been a little weird with my MBP. Within 5 hours of udating the computer there were two kernal panics. At least I think the second one was a kernal panic. I had closed the lid and it wouldnt sleep or turn back on and it had no response to the power button or any keys so I eventually pulled the battery. Then on restart it acted as if recovering from a panic.
Since then I have had other problems such as long waking time from sleep, dim screen after restarts, and itunes opening for no reason at all. After the latest restart things seem more 'normal.'
Has anyone else had this problem? If it continues, what should I do?

And here was I thinking it was my own imagination! After installing that annoying update, my MBP has not been the same.
I also had two kernal panics exactly as you have described.
My MBP seems to me to be extremely sluggish compared to what it was, and I am seriously condsidering reinstalling OS x and not installing that update.
At one point I decided to run disk check and it said I needed to repair my hard drive, something about the actual size and recorded size being different, so I repaired that last night so I will have to see how that goes.
I am very careful with my comp so i know that it is nothing I did that could cause thes problems.
And of course to add another problem to the list, My battery life is nothing like it used to be. I am a college student and up until i installed that update i could easily go 4 hours in lecs using the laptop to take notes, but now after about half an hour the battery indicator says i have an hour left. It is very annoying!

Lastest Security Update fixes Vulnerabilities...

It looks as though Apple has indeed fixed the latest issues posted on the web over the last two weeks.
I tested the vulnerability as below, and it now fails:

Yes, you're right - I don't know what else they can do besides disable the auto-launch and offer a warning that a "jpg" is an application!

Windows Vista 32 bit security updates

After lastest security updates from Microsoft for Vista, 32 bit, the PC checks for system errors and restores to point before updates. Tried doing one update at an time and again get system reset before updates.
Sometimes get no signal to TV and PC hangs and have to do a forced shutdown. Today get blue screen and message that Windows did not shut down normally press enter for start up Windows normally. Enter password and repeat. Also booted with emergency CD today and then get same results after diaganostics run: blue screen, start up Windows normally, repeat. Staring in safe mode did nothing either. Several days ago ran disk clean up. Defrag did not run because the drive was only 1% framented.
Started using an HDMI cable instead of VGA to TV about the same time this problem started and wonder if I should switch back to VGA. Do not believe that could be a problem unless there is somthing wrong with the HDMI port on video card.
This question was solved.

Hi Flustered,
You are having some issues!
Could you provide your PC's product number?
Well, you have to start troubleshooting somewhere, so I would restore the PC to a point prior to the potentially troublesome Microsoft updates and temporarily stop automatic updates.
I would also go back to VGA graphics and then run the PC and see if it stabilizes.
You are blue screening when running diagnostics? What diagnostics are you using? Have you ever been able to complete the diagnostic tests and obtain results without blue screening?

Security update and mail

hello all,
when i was doing the lastest security update (005), it didnt seem to download properly. I had to click quite a few times, and even had to manually click the restart option at the toolbar to get the computer to restart (recall that this update requires restart?). upon restarting, the screen seemed to indicate that the update was being downloaded. when checking with the software update, it indicates that the update has been downloaded. am i just bring paranoid?
secondly, i am having problems sending emails from my yahoo account to hotmail accounts and some domains. I can send the mails successfully from my iphone using the Mail app but not using Safari to access yahoo website to send. I received spamcop reports twice when i was emailing a local boutique with their own domain but that was in early april. i believe subsequent emails simply disappeared, no mailer daemons, but no replies either. similarly, in this case, the hotmail accounts had no traces of the email, not in their trash or junk or inbox. It's driving me mad because i'm in the midst of sending out resumes. my internet service provider only provides dynamic ips for home broadband. im not sure if the problem is with my Mac, or with the dynamic ips, or the filters that hotmail/other domains have in place to protect spam. i also sometimes cannot view web caches from google because of "suspected" activity.

okay, i've figured out that the mail problem is probably a yahoo problem. but the part about the security update still stands. please??
and by the way, i realise that the os version indicated is wrong, yes it is updated to 10.6.8

Leopard Server 10.5.2 hosed after Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 Server

I am running Leopard Server 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro 2x3.2 GHz quad core xeon. I did a software update today which included Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 Server. I did disk verify and permissions repair on as usual before the update. Afterwards, I found that I could not log into my local user account with administrator privileges. I can log in as "root" using the local administrator password. All my users can log in. But all the groups have disappeared, and so have the wikis associated with these groups. The data seems to be there in /Library/Collaborations, however.
This was a simple server configuration with 5 users - I was essentially using only the groups wiki function. The server had no client machines. Its not like I had a complex configuration. I am absolutely mystified - spent an hour on the phone with Apple support and they took all the server logs for analysis. I was wondering if anyone else had this update go wrong in a similar configuration.
I would be very grateful for any advice!

I had the same thing happen. It took me a while to figure out why because I installed the update before the weekend and then came in on Monday and nothing worked. I've searched around quite a bit and found some people had the same problem but haven't found a solution. Right now my server is sitting there useless, even after reverting to a backup before the update.
Did you or anyone else find a solution to this?

Security update on 2/13 hosed something?

On Feb 13 I installed the latest security update along with the iTunes/Quicktime updates. Since then Adobe Photoshop won't start unless I reboot and other computers that share the Mac's folders & peripherals can't see them. Has anyone experienced any thing similar?

In a situation like this the people who know anything have signed a non disclosure agreement not to talke about what they are doing and know. As frustrating as it is you'll have to be patient. Bumps like this have happened in the past and Apple has responded with an update to fix it. How long it takes will depend entirely on how difficult it is to find the cause.
This is why I always make sure I have a current backup before I apply any kind of an updater. Most times no disaster occurs but when it does....

I need help with the Security Update 2006-002!

Security update has really screwed up the two systems I've installed it on:
1) My G4 PowerBook refused to reboot after the update, getting only as far as the initialApple screen. Rebooting with a 10.4 install disk and using Disk Utilities to try to repair the disk either results in an "Unable to unmount disk" error, or if Repair does proceed, it is unable to repair the disk. I get a "Invalid node structure" error message, then a "Rebuilding B-Tree" message, then a "The Voluma Macintosh HD could not be repaird" message, and Repair quits with a "Error: the underlying task reported failure on exit" message.
2) On my Dual 2 GHz G5 desktop, Safari appears to be unable to load more than six URL:s in 6 tabs; I read about 20 webcomics all organized in a bookmarks folder, and my usual practice is to select "Open in tabs" to open them all at once. Heretofore Safari has opened all the tabs and all the URLs without a hitch. After the update it will open all the ttabs but only about the first six sites load - all the rest just sit there spinning their wheels.
Also it has hosed iChat on my Dsktop. iChat will open, but will not send or receive chats, and will not open the buddy window.
Also Also, the system frequently hangs, seizing up anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, then resuming normally. Safari seems to be the culprit, but I can't really tell.
I need an update to recover from the effects of the last update.

I'm not very knowledgeable on macs yet being a new user (switcher) However, there appear to have been too many problems for too many people and too many systems associated with this update for it to be co-incidental. Take a look through the topics since the update appeared. My computer is brand new. The update did something that screwed something in the startup file (or whatever) The nice man in India helped me get the computer going by removing all sorts of wonderous things, this after his colleague in Cork had sent me all sorts of stuff to my work address to try out when I got home, like pram and nvram (which only made things worse) and other things. Now my computers fixed. Except that there's now no printer, it won't find the drivers off the install discs and any driver I load from canon isn't recognised or a script isn't recognised. I bought this thing to get away from problems like this on PCs!!!!

HELP: Latest Security Update hangs during startup

I did two updates, the latest Security Updates for Tiger OSX on my G4, mirror door and also the latest iTunes. After all the downloads it asked me to reboot. Now I get the gray Apple with an endless spinning clock.
I did repair disk permissions via holding down "C" button and also did the fsck or whatever command in terminal mode. Still it hangs.
I'm desperate need of help here. I'm posting this on my iPhone, as my only computer now won't boot.
Can I go back to another version (Tiger only DVD) or how I run off the CD without asking for installation?
To make matters worse, my external HD took a dump and I lost all my iTunes library. All I wanted to do was update my iPhone to 3.0, and now Im just hosed.
Does anyone know if this update does this and what to do? Or am I just unlucky? weeping.....
please post solutions that I can easily access on my small iPhone screen. thanks.

Hi applrob, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Does anyone know if this update does this and what to do? Or am I just unlucky?
99.9% of the time it means there was some pre-existinng corruption. I'll mention all the steps, but I thing the bolded end section is what we'll end up needing.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
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.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
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.
*If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...*
*http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120*
*Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.*

Security update 2015-002

Hi there
I recently installed the lastest update entitled Security update 2015-002.
So all seemed fine till I opened Mac Mail and it asks me for my password as there is no icloud mail account set up. It may be a bit stupid of me but I keep my password hidden in an email so firstly had to find my ipad to retrieve my password. Put that in and it all set up fine - or so it seemed.
My other accounts (also on mac mail) seemed ok - I have a pop and gmail account set up with their own additional mailbox folders.
However when i go to Mail preferences accounts there are no accounts in there except for my icloud account. I then sent a test email to the pop account and nothing comes through. I still have all the old emails in those accounts but cannot receive.
Also in the drop down box (From) when composing it only lists my icloud email and not my pop or gmail email (which it was doing an hour ago).
Is this supposed to happen and if not how do I get my accounts back. (I can't even remember the details of setting them up)
Any help appreciated

Add the accounts back. If you fill in the e-mail address and password, Mail will normally automatically configure the account.

Security Update 2013-003 kills Photoshop CS6 with video

Since updating 10.6.8 to Security Update 2013-003, Photoshop CS6's video capabilities are hosed. If I try to export a video to animated GIF, it pinwheels. If I import a video in the first place, it now takes much longer to do so. Making layers from video frames now gets stuck at the Progress bar and I'm forced to cancel it and/or force quit Photoshop.
Just a warning to those who work with video and Photoshop, Security Update 2013-003 may ruin your workflow.

If you have not already done so, you should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product for a work-a-round if any.

Security Update 2008-007 causing troubles

Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong forum.
Since Security Update 2008-007 was released, I could not install the update through Software Update as it could not save the file. I located the 131MB installer on the Apple Downloads site and proceeded to install it once downloaded. The install was successful and my computer rebooted, a little slowly and operations weren't as fast as usual. Then the problems began...
I launched Safari and tried to view my Gmail, which then crashed my Safari and my computer. I got a blue screen and then the desktop appeared and all applications were closed [not including Finder]. I opened Safari > Preferences > Security and turned off Java, plug-ins and JavaScript which seemed to solve the problem, although I had to turn JavaScript back on to log-in to this site.
After this, I tried to download the 10.5.5 Combo Update, as I read somewhere that this might fix my problems, but Installer keeps quitting "unexpectedly" and I can't run the install. Also, many of the programs in my dock won't launch; the same happens when I try to launch them from the Applications folder in Finder.

If anyone can help in this issue, it would be much appreciated, as it appears that Security Update 2008-007 is playing havoc with my system!

It would help to know exactly what you mean by this, like if you got an error message & if so, what it said. If not, what indication was there that the file could not be saved?
I have not read the log part of your post carefully, but my guess would be that you have some corruption of your file system. To check for & correct this, boot from your Leopard installer disk & run its copy of Disk Utility (in the "Utilities" menu item you will see when the installer screen opens) & do a "Repair Disk" step. If any repairs are made, you can try the combo update again, but it is possible that corruption hosed some essential files & you will have to reinstall the OS.
If no repairs are made, this is not the root of the problem & something else will have to be done to find it.

Mail fails at check via IMAP after latest security update?

I check my work email via IMAP, and have not recently changed any settings. Between Wednesday night and Thursday afternoon, Mail (v.4.5) suddenly became unable to pick up new mail. It just spins its little "checking" wheel icon endlessly when I launch the program.
The only thing that is different is that I went ahead and accepted the lastest Snow Leopard security update.
I can send mail (which goes through my ISP's SMTP server) fine. Just can't pick up.
I've talk to IT at work and they did everything they could on their end but could not diagnose any problem. They confirmed that other users are picking up mail fine via IMAP. We changed my password, swapped my username for my email address and back again (both should work), and relaunched Mail numerous times to no avail. I can see that I have new messages via work's webmail interface and have sent myself test messages from my Gmail account. Nada.
Since Mail doesn't really return error messages, work IT was unable to go any further with helping me. I can't get in at the local Genius bar until tomorrow afternoon. Any ideas?

The Backup likely would only help if it were a full Backup of the OS.

After today's security update, my macbook pro is failing to boot: error 19

Update 2012-002 on macbook pro. When rebooting,after 'successful' install, I now see a repeating cycle of Error = 19, unable to mount root. From my *nix perspective I fear the worst - that the boot sector (at a minimum) is hosed. I tried (running Lion 10.7.x) booting with the command key down - no joy. do not currently have my install disk (sadly, it's in storage, somewhere).
I'm concerned about this. this is VERY unusual for an update. This is a relatively new drive (750GB drive installed about 8 months ago). At no point have I seen errors, and believe me, I look.
Assuming the worst case is repartitioning? (ah for hte days of 'fdisk /mbr')

yes. Apologies for being unclear. command--R does nothing but report the same error (note, I have verbose boot enabled).I was an apple tech long ago, I tried myriad key options, just for grins.
Shift key while powering up will bring the expected 'grey' background, with the dark grey apple. After a period of searching, the apple is replaced by the 'no sign'.
an addendum: I believe I know where the issue is, and while I cannot nail it, it's quite likely it is because of a failed filevault2 startup. I went through the process of enabling filevault2, got the key, restarted and when I went to look at the progress of the encryption - it had not 'taken'. I was at the option to enable it again. I didn't think much of that at the time (though I know from working in the past with full drive encryption) that the reboot was invovling a rewrite of the boot sector. However it DID reboot, and more than once. I was able to use the system for a couple of weeks, until today's update. I personally don't feel it had to do with the security update - more it had to do with the failed filevault2 enabling.

Lastest security update hosed my G5 PM
