Latest Leopard Security Update Kills Photoshop 7?

Yesterday installed the latest security update on iBook G4. Today Photoshop 7.0 won't open, giving an error message that reads, +An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit+.
Coincidence? It never happened before the update installation. Reinstalled Photoshop...same result. Any ideas anyone? TIA

Apparently, there is a fundamental Leopard/Photoshop conflict, up to and including Photoshop CS2. Here's a thread at Adobe's site:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/[email protected]@
This is not a happy situation, and had I known, I would not have gone to Leopard. A message on the above thread indicates Adobe is aware of the problem, but no fixes are imminent.

Cannot download podcasts after applying latest Leopard security update

Last night I applied the latest security update to my Mac Mini, running the latest version of iTunes and Leopard. This morning I went to update my iTunes library with the latest podcasts. When I did the refresh, it started to download several podcasts, but then stopped them all with a message stating that I did not have the proper permissions. My iTunes library is on a fireware-connected DROBO that has approx. 1.5 TB free space. I have been using this configuration for over 2 months without problems.

You need to check permissions on the folder that holds your library. Navigate to your music folder, Get Info and make sure permissions are set to READ and WRITE. Then...make sure it's applied to ALL enclosed folders. (Click the Gear for the apply to all option.)

I downloaded the latest Firefox security update and my computer will no longer access the internet in any fashion, despite the fact that I'm still connected to the internet. Other browsers no longer work either.

Immediately after I downloaded the latest firefox security update my computer will no longer access the internet. I still have a fine wireless connection but Firefox, Internet Explorer, Itunes, and every other program will no longer access the internet, saying there is a connection error. I even tried restoring my system to a previous date but it said that a security program was preventing it from doing so.

What's the security program called? Is it '''Win 7 Security''' by any chance? There's a rogue AV app that will prevent internet access by that name. It comes in many different flavours, but it's basically the same product with different names depending on the operating system its aimed at. See screenshot.
Do you have another computer you can use to download Malwarebytes? Or can you get a friend to download it for you and copy it to a USB drive? Download from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
You can use the USB drive to transfer the program to your own PC and then install it.

Can't complete Leopard Security Update

I've tried to update to Leopard Security Update 2012-003 through the software update tool and direct download, but in both cases the intallation process is stopped because the intaller insists that Safari is closed in order to finish the process. Safari is closed, though, but it won't recognize this. Note sure how to proceed with this.
Any thoughts?

Great news, great to hear, thanks!
10.5 doesn't require it as often as 10.4 did, but still useful, especially combined with a SAfe Boot that Repairs the Disk & clears many stale caches!

Latest Acrobat X Update Killed Com1

The latest Acrobat X update killed my Com1 port. Yes, I still use Com1 to communicate with my ham radio. So if any Adobe guy is reading the discussions in this form, please fix this bug. BTW, why do I have to call tech support, why can't I send you guys an e-mail.

Bug in Latest Mavericks Security Update???

I just installed the very latest Mavericks Security Update as instructed. It was about 500+ MB and took 20 or so minutes to upload and then required a restart to complete installation, which was done. After restart you are asked if you wanted to login to iCloud, etc. the MacBook worked just fine. I shut down normally.
Several hours later upon boot up I first got a "security" warning about only using Apple software. It asks for acknowledgement = ok.
After rebooting the Apple logo shows as normal and the circular progress wheel spins but it never gets to login screen.
What is going on Apple???
Any suggestion fellow Mac users????

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use either of the techniques in Steps 1b and 1c to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 10. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 10
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 11
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 12
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Leopard Security Update 2012-003 for Mac OSX 10.5.8

I just discovered a Leopard Security Update 2012-003 in reading an article in MacWorld, but when I checked my computer, I found that I did not get it through Software Updates' check for updates. Is there something wrong with my Software Updates? Or is just that this must be manually downloaded by the user? My iMac is an Intel Mac.

Hello Laura,
Could you have SWUPD set to automattically get updates?
Check Library>Reciepts at root of the drive, nit your user Library, & see if it's been installed.
Also, if this is a PPC iMac it only was for Intel iMacs, since PPCs weren't able to get that FlashBack infection for one thing.
If Intel, you coild always get it directly & re-apply it...

AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes after Snow Leopard security update?

I just installed the latest security update for Snow Leopard and now my AppleTV no longer shows up in iTunes. I don't know for sure if the security update is actually the cause, but I was able to connect not even an hour earlier in the evening.
Anyone else seeing this behaviour? I've power cycled the ATV, along with my router with no change.

Could be the same problem others are having with latest version of iTunes. See this thread:

Snow Leopard Security Update Warning

Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet on this forum, for those of us still using Snow Leopard, there is a growing number of reports that the latest security update hoses Rosetta. See the Snow Leopard forum elsewhere in the Apple Support Communities as well as http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012

Since I didn't install the Security Update, I didn't lose Rosetta, so I haven't tried the following, but in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17484448#17484448 there is a discussion of a possible solution. The Google translation of the referenced link here: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.macbidouille.com%2Fin dex.php%3Fshowtopic%3D354758%26st%3D60&tl=en suggests it's an easy fix, at least if you've got a backup or Time Machine backup. Again, I haven't tried this so use at your own risk, but it sure looks easier than reinstalling Snow Leopard.

Microsoft's Security Update kills iTunes if on a Domain Server!

Do You Use iTunes at work? Is your computer logged in to a Domain Server? Did you just update your computer with Microsoft’s latest Security Patch (as of 1/6/06)?
Then you might have a problem. I’m sure that Microsoft will probably figure out a way to fix this someday, but for now, iTunes will no longer function for you in this scenario. The problem is that iTunes needs to access your My Music Folder. If your domain server is set up like the one I use, then your My Music folder resides in you’re My Documents folder, which lives on a Domain Server, not on the computer in front of you. This was not a problem before this patch. Now, something that Microsoft’s security patch did has blocked iTunes from being able to access the folder on the Domain Server.
Now, if you were like me, you updated your Computer Friday with the new security patch and shut it down for the weekend to save out planet’s energy resources. Monday, you powered up your computer and started to work. At some point, you thought you might like to hear a tune. You clicked on the iTunes shortcut and BAM! You got a bad message:
No matter what you did, you could not launch iTunes. Don’t even try it, nothing will help, unless you follow the steps below. I should note that these steps were discovered by using Apple’s info at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398. The problem with their steps is that you can’t even find you’re My Music folder with Tweak UI after the security update if it’s on a Domain Server.
This Discovery is attributed to one R. Crippen. His love for iTunes drove him away from his onus of real work so he could spend time breaking Microsoft’s attempted sabotage of iTunes.
Here we go.
1. Download and install Tweak UI from the Microsoft PowerToys website at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Note: This utility is for Windows XP only.
2. Launch Tweak UI. In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders. Look in the Folder list in the Right Pane. You will notice that My Music is not in the list. Close Tweak UI.
3. Open Add/Remove Programs and check the box for “Show Updates.” Find the latest Security Update in the list. Select it and click Remove. Reboot after the update is removed.
4. Create a new location where you would like the My Music folder to live. I made an iTunes folder at the root level of my C drive. Put it anywhere you like (not on the Domain Server).
5. Go to your My Documents folder. Copy the My Music folder to the new location you picked for it.
6. Launch Tweak UI. In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders. Look in the Folder list in the Right Pane. You will notice that My Music is now in the list.
7. Select My Music in the drop-down list. Click the Change Locations button. Select the new location and click OK.
8. OK, now that Windows will be looking in a new location for the My Music folder, Launch iTunes. If everything went well, it works!
9. You’re not done yet. That Security patch was probably put out there for a reason. Update your computer and reinstall the latest security patch again. You can probably find the Windows Update link at the top of your Programs list.
10. Reboot the computer after the update.
11. Launch itunes
12. Everything works! You have an updated computer on the Domain Server and iTunes works again! Yay!
Stupid Microsoft!

I'm still keeping an eye out for more cases like the 2 I've seen myself. I need a bigger testing audience, but I don't think the circumstances are very common.
So, your work computer is on a Domain. Is your "My Documents" folder on your Domain Server or is it on your local computer? That's where the problem arises, when itunes can't access the "My Music" where the itunes folder lives.
Since my "My Music" folder in the My Documents folder was living on a server and not my local computer, something prevented iTunes from communicating with it. I know that the security update was the culprit, because once I uninstalled the update, iTunes worked again.
Hopefully, I can find more cases of the problem just to verify. I just hope that is anyone else runs into the issue, this will help them. If it's a real issue.

HELP! Can't boot after latest Apple Security Update (Released yesterday?)

The latest security update, which came out yesterday (I think it's this update: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305530 ) has ravaged my Mac.
I have a PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25 MDD.
I installed the update, and rebooted like it said.
Once the computer came up, it got past the grey screen with the spinning wheel, the screen turned blue, right before it should present the login window... and then the grey (translucent) curtain slid down from the top, and a box in the center told me to hold down my power button and restart my computer.
Now this happens EVERY TIME I TURN MY COMPUTER ON.
I HAD a PERFECTLY RUNNING MAC BEFORE I INSTALLED THIS UPDATE. NOW IT'S COMPLETELY UN-USABLE.
HELP! HELP! HELP!
WHAT CAN I DO TO FIX THIS?
I'm searching for bootable discs to try to get the Mac to come up so I can look at it. I haven't tried going in through single-user-mode (command prompt) yet. I came here first, because I need support FAST!!!
By the way, before this update, I was completely up-to-date with my Apple patches/updates. I was running 10.4.9 (I don't remember the Build #, but I was CURRENT).
Thanks in advance for any support (Apple?!?!)

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Sorry for the alarming post. I'm replying to my own post to let everyone know that I don't think the problem is the Security Update alone. For lack of anything better to do, I decided to try troubleshooting this problem by myself... and here's what I did:
I booted the Mac in to Single-User mode, by holding down Command-S. Once in, I forced fsck to pass verification of the drive (fsck -fy). Then I mounted the root partition in Read/Write (mount -uw /). Once I had write access to the drive in the command prompt, I quickly decided to check out what applications and services were starting when my computer boots (/Library/StartupItems ; /Library/LaunchDaemons). From there I removed all third party applications and services. (I maintain a "StartupItems-Disabled" folder, and a "LaunchDaemons-Disabled" in the spirit of pre-OS X machines that had something similar in the System folder for extensions and control panels (if my memory serves me)... so that's where I put all the applications and services that I didn't want to boot (I moved them from the respective folders in to the "-Disabled" folders I had created).
Anyway... after removing all the third-party software and services from Startup, I rebooted, and my Mac came up just fine. I'm going to sift through the logs to see if anything was written about what happened at boot all those times. With any luck I'll figure out which application or service wasn't playing nicely with the OS and/or Security Update.
Good luck with your own endeavors. It's always scary when your Mac doesn't boot, so I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else (especially someone less technically inclined). I'll check the forums later to make sure no one else had similar problems... because I'm sure I could help them get to the bottom of their troubles.
Cheers!

Slide Show Freezes after latest Apple Security Update

Since installing the latest security update to 10.4.6 from Apple, initiating Slide Show causes iPhoto to freeze on my 2 Powerbooks and iBook 500. The only way to get out of it is to Force Quit iPhoto. This happens with iPhoto 4.0.3 and with 2.0. Before the update, the slideshows worked fine. This happens on all slideshows and is not music specific (other music does the same thing).
Any ideas?

If you think it has something to do with system software, create a new user account, log into it, and load some pictures into the new iPhoto Library there. See if you can reproduce the problem. If you can't, then the problem has nothing to do with the security update, but rather something in the original user space.

Installed New Security Updates--Now Photoshop Won't Open(?)

I just installed some mac security updates as prompted. I'm pretty lazy about updating so I'm sure that this was not a brand new update. After restarting my laptop, I found that my copy of Photoshop CS2 will no longer open. The program will begin to launch, but then shut down before opening. The usual "program has unexpectedly quit" prompt pops up.
I have since unistalled and reinstalled Photoshop. Same problem with the fresh installation.
What is going on? The rest of Creative Suite is running fine...
How can I overcome this?

sssboyle,
First of all, Welcome to the  Discussions Forums!
Have you tried Repairing Permissions from Disk Utility found in your Applications folder>Utilities?
When open click on the First Aid tab. Select your HD in the left pane and then click on Repair Permissions.

Wifi: no hardware installed, after latest yosemite security update

I just applied Security Update 2015-002 (at the behest of Software Update), along with the Command Line Tools (OS X 10.10) v6.2 update, and after the mini rebooted, it now says Wifi:No Hardware installed. And when I go to Network and Hardware in System Preferences, it gives a preferences error. I have tried resetting the NVRAM and the SMC, to no avail. Anyone else have this issue?

In some cases, this issue is caused by a hardware fault. A loose connection, a short circuit, or a microscopic break in a solder joint may open and close depending on temperature, making the failure intermittent.
Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Turn off Bluetooth. If you have a desktop Mac, you'll need a wired keyboard and mouse to take this step. Those are useful to have anyway, because Bluetooth is not completely reliable. If Wi-Fi works with Bluetooth turned off but not when you turn it back on, delete all pairings in the Bluetooth preference pane and recreate them. Restart the computer and test again.
2.. There are a few reports that the problem was solved by unchecking the box marked
Wake for Wi-Fi network access
in the Power Adapter tab of the Energy Saver preference pane. I can't confirm.
3. Reset the NVRAM.
4. Reset the System Management Controller.
5. Start up in Recovery mode. In the menu bar of the OS X Utilities screen, there's a Wi-Fi menu. Try to connect.
6. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
