Latest security update and then ... nothing

Hi,
There's been a security update waiting to be downloaded for a few days now. Today, I finally installed it. The Mini asked me to accept a reboot, which I did. That was an hour ago. As I write, the Mac has a black screen with dmesg like contents.
+BSD process name corresponding to current thread: launchd+
+Mac OS version:+
10D573
+Kernel version:+
+Darwin kernel ...+
+System uptime in nanoseconds: 827388646882686+
And that's where it's been for an hour.
Is this one of those long updates, or has something gone wrong? If I cycle the power, is the brown stuff going to hit the fan?
Thanks.

Something has gone wrong.
It sounds like you may be in Single User Mode. Is there a prompt on the screen where you can type?
If so type fsck -fyremember to leave a blank space before the "-fy".
This will run a file system check, like Repair Disk and repair any problems if it can. If you run into errors run fsck multiple times until it reports OK.Then, type rebootreboot to restart to OS X.
If that's not the case, then a hard shutdown would be your only recourse.

I just installed the latest Security update and now I can't open iPhoto. I keep getting a message that it quit unexpectedly because of a problem with the scene kit plugin. I have no access to my photos.

I'm using a Macbook Pro Mavericks Version 10.9.5

Probably the reboot used to log into the Guest account and then your account again fixed the problem. If often will.

I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player. It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
Can anyone help?
Thank you!

You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
* Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

I installed the latest itunes update and now nothing plays

I installed the latest itunes update and now nothing plays. No music, radio etc. Have others experienced a similar problem?

I just tested mine and my music and videos played without a problem. Suggest you re-download iTunes 10.4.

Without know how you exported the slideshow from Aperture and how you are using iDVD and what errors or messages you are getting then no, haven't a clue.

Latest security update and the disappearance of my external drive

I'm sure you're going to tell me that one has nothing to do with the other, but after running the latest security update, the Iomega MiniMax external drive that's been connected to my TiBook for the last 3 years has all of a sudden disappeared from my desktop.
System profiler sees it, Disk Utilities sees it. But there are a couple of things bugging me:
- I'd never paid attention before, but both the System profiler and DU indicated that SMART is not supported
- When I ran DU (off the OSX install disk) to try to repair the HD, I got the following message:
+Invalid node structre+
+Volume check failed+
(these 2 lines in red type)
+Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit+
(this in bold, red type)
+1 HFS volume checked+
+1 volume could not be repaired because of an error+
I think that was in red, too, but can't swear to it, as I'm totally rattled by now.
Now, there is no system on the Iomega, nothing but precious photos and music (since the original HD on this TiBook could only hold 30 Gb), and I'm at a loss as to why all of a sudden I can't access it. Whenever I've come back from a trip, I just plug the external back in (via firewire and usb), and it would just show up, as if nothing had happened.
Any ideas, any help would be, as usual, most appreciated.
Thank you all.

I realize I'm getting 'way off this thread, but wanted to post back. I brought the Iomega to work, plugged it into my iMac and… nothing. Running DU gave me the same results as posted above. Then, for want of a better idea, I pulled out the install disk for the iMac, started up off that and ran DU.
Guess what? It went through its verifications, came up with problems and then proceeded to repair the external. And that wonderful little orange icon was there on my desktop at startup!
There shouldn't be any difference; my guess is it just happened to pick that time to mount. Sometimes a HD with issues will not mount 10+ times in a row, then, for whatever reason, it does on the eleventh try.
There's a new folder in the Iomega now, called "lost+found", weighing in at a little over a Mb and full of files ending with ".nib". Any idea what those are and if I need to keep them?
Hmmm, Google search turns up this from wiki:
Interface Builder is a software development application for Apple's Mac OS X operating system. It is part of Xcode (formerly Project Builder), the Apple Developer Connection developer's toolset. Interface Builder allows Cocoa and Carbon developers to create interfaces for applications using a graphical user interface. The resulting interface is stored as a .nib file, short for NeXT Interface Builder, or more recently, as a .xib file.
Do you use Xcode?
Another hit mentions iPhone, and another Corel. Don't know what to make of it in your case. Can you open any of the files? Any have same name as your data? Creation dates?
I shall now proceed to back up before reformatting.
Good plan.
And check out the cost of a replacement here (they're a good bit higher than in the States.
Ask yourself what your data is worth, and after it's gone, what you would have spent to have retained it. My guess is the answer would be a lot more than the cost of a HD.
Do I want a SATA?
Nope, TiBook doesn't have that interface.
I liked this model because it also worked as a hub… There are so many flavors out there now!
Indeed.
er, ahem, that's a sheepish "yes".
'Nuff said.
A while back, thanks to you and other forum members, I'd gathered up the courage to swap out the original HD for the biggest one the PB could take, and had always meant to to a "backward" backup of the stuff that was on the external — or copying photos onto CDs. Needless to say, the task got put off until this scare. Won't be doing that again.
I considered myself "lucky" the first time I lost data, as it wasn't too, too important, but it taught me a lesson I've never forgotten.
So, once again, thanks for the hand-holding (you had also talked me through/encouraged me to deal with the tight hinges on the TiBook).
You're welcome. Together with RAM and HD, that was the best thing I ever did for my TiBook.
Love this forum!
We aims to please!

Security Update and then...

I downloaded today's security update on 2 Mac's. My 12" Powerbook went fine...
After installing the security update on my 20" iMac ppc, I am stuck at the grey apple screen with the spinning gear.
Things I have tried:
• I unplugged everything external except for the keyboard and mouse.
• I booted from Leopard DMG and repaired the HD.
• Reset the PRAM.
• Tried starting in "Safe Mode".
I am still stuck at the grey Apple screen with spinning gear...
Is the only thing left to re-install OS (archive install, preserve user settings)?
And if so, do I re-download and install the security update?
Please, any help would be appreciated.

Well, you've probably got to do the restore anyway. I think you probably should try the security patch again, only this time download it and then apply instead of using software update. Make sure that all devices except keyboard and mouse are detached from your machine. Repair permissions pre and post if the upgrade works. If you have Disk Warrior or something similar, run it after you restore your machine but before the upgrade.
Good Luck.

Wireless keyboard doesn't work after latest security update

Hi,
I update MacOS 10.6.7 with latest security update and my wirelles keyboard is connected, but keys not work, capslock light doesn't change. I try charge battery, then I replace new battery, but it has no effect. I connect keyboard to another Mac with Leopard system and there's no problem... There's some solution? Thanks

Try repairing permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.
There select First Aid. After that select the hard drive within Disk Utility's window. Finally click on the button that says Repair Permissions. A reboot may be necessary to finish the work when it is done.
Ignore any errors reported.

Did latest security update, now emac won't start

Hello, please help. I'm only have one mac, so I'm desperate. I have an emac running os 10.4. I just performed the latest security update (and itunes and quicktime) now the mac won't start. I get to the apple logo and the spinning/loading icon and it stays there forever. I started from my original disc and did a disc utility check, and everything is allright with the hard drive. It was working perfectly until I installed the update and did the required restart!

Hi OneDayMatt, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I agree, but 3 points...
#1, When was the last time you saw truth in advertising?
#2, 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.
#3, Being in the Right in an accident may not be all you can do to save your behind!

Slow mac after latest security update!!!

So I updated my macbook pro running 10.5.5 to the latest security update and now everything has slowed down! Now I get a beach ball for 5-10 seconds every time I try to open a program, go to a web page, save a file, etc. Is anybody else having this problem???

Hi nerowolfe,
Yes, rest assured you are not alone in your post-update slowdown problems.
I ran back to the steely, solid prowess of Tiger after Leopard indicated it preferred to just sit in the tree sleeping and occasionally falling out. We'll put Leopard down to experience. (The lesson being, if you're embarking on a project, let your developers do the job. Don't re-deploy or scatter your developers mid-way onto more commercial gadgets).
It's a shame but there's now a definite trepidation that comes with OS X software updates. The very rate at which we're being force fed them speaks for itself. Most of the time, I find that they introduce so many other issues that increments in numbers means heartache, searching for fixes, restoration and forgetting the experience. Until the next update, which is the next lap of this downward spiralling track we seem to be on. Do you remember when you could concentrate on your tasks, and not the operating system? (It's becoming difficult).
As for practical solutions nerowolfe, up to now, repairing HD permissions using the OS X inbuilt features or using Onyx has usually done the trick. But neither seem to make a blind bit of difference in the wake of this latest update.
Does anyone else have any practical solutions?
Does anyone know if it's possible to bypass updates or remove installed updates?

Menu items dimmed after installing latest security update

has anyone else seen this problem? after installing the latest security update 2008-02 on my macbook, file menu and other items are dimmed (grayed out) after a restart. i have to right click on the desktop to bring up the contextual menu before the menu items become available. after that, the machine works as expected. the problem does not exist on my intel imac, which has identical software installed. it's more an annoyance than a big problem, but does anyone have a clue about how to fix it? i've tried trashing preference files for the finder, but that didn't seem to work. thanks in advance.

well, i couldn't figure it out, so i reinstalled leopard and updated it to 10.5.2 with the latest security update and everything is working normally. something must have been broken in my previous set up.

IChat no workee after latest Security Update

Just downloaded the latest Security Update and voila, I now have the generic app icon for ichat, software
version 4.0.9, and not working in my Applications folder.
Now what?
Rook

We can get you to Reinstall iChat.
This will still need an Update to be run as the Install Disk version is likely to be several versions behind the OS and they must match.
Instructions
You will need the Easy Way as it is called.
iChat only gets it's Updates when the OS is updated so the version you install will the version that came with the first OS you had. (most likely OS 10.5 base level and therefore iChat version 4.0)
There has not been an iChat Update in every OS update but in OS 10.5.8 it has got to version 4.0.8.
You will need to Download and Install this COMBO version of the Update.
"Doing the COMBO" this way circumvents the fact that Software Updates keeps records of what it has Updated and will not run it again even though iChat needs it.
This should get iChat working again.
I say should as 10.5.8 with the last two updates does report iChat to be at version 4.0.9 in some views.
I have done the basic Reinstall but the Security Update does complicate things a little bit. (I am not sure if in this case we can miss off the last Security Update and have a base iChat 4.0.8 working with what is in effect 10.5.8+)
I hope this helps.

TA21328 I downloaded a security update and now I cannot access my online banking web site. How do I fix it?

Does anyone have a quick fix for this? I downloaded the latest security update and now I cannot access web page for online banking.

It is not asking what part of your country you are in, but what country/region you are in.
Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:
