Leopard 10.5.4 update and security patches

I am new to macs and I have a question regarding OS updates and security patches. I installed the 10.5.4 update. Do I need to install the 2008-004 security update?
Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions and welcome to Mac
The easiest way to find out exactly what your Mac needs is to go to your Apple menu and choose Software Update.
EDIT: It should include it but I had to check because I used the Combo Update.

  • Difference between Maintenance update and recommended patches.

    Hello
    What is the difference between "Maintenance Update" and "Recommended patches" ?
    Can we install the OS from the distribution, then install the recommended patches and have a decent system. Or we do need to install the maintenance update before the recommended patches ?

    Hi,
    What do you mean of Manual Update.
    Simulation means , it will not upload into the data to the datatarget,It just explore you about how the system goes through update rules,Transfer rules .
    real upload/Update manually means the data will reach the datatarget and sits there with out explore you about how the system goes through update rules,Transfer rules .

  • Is Acrobat 8 still being updated for security patches?

    Hi,
    Noticed that Acrobat 9 had a new patch released on 7/31/2009 but there was no Acrobat 8 patch.
    Does this mean that Acrobat 8 isn't vulnerable to the authplay.dll vulnerability or does that mean that Acrobat 8 is no longer supported?
    Thanks.

    Adobe still releases security patches for older versions of Acrobat, but only back to AA6 think. The latest one for AA8 is
    Version 8.1.6

  • Airport and security patch?

    Last night, after I install the latest security patch I have a problem with airport.
    I am able to connect to wireless network after rebooting/power-up. However, when I try to connect to wireless networks after putting it to sleep (as in closing the computer for a minute or longer) it's not able to see any wireless network. I try to connect by turning on and off the airport. It can't "see" any wireless network. Then I try to connect it manually by typing in the network name and password. It cannot connect to it and cannot see any available wireless network out there. I have to reboot to get it to "see" and connect to wireless network.
    Does anyone has the similar issue? What is the solution to this?

    Hi!
    I read all the airport issues of it not working after being asleep. it wakes up and will not see any airport at all..but will work fine on restart. I was fortunate to have installed it on just one the ibook 366
    after all the reading I decided to try a reinstall of the march security update.
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate20070031039client.html
    so far it is working fine and reawakes resetting the airport connection too.
    hope it helps till apple reconfigures the update for april.

  • XE and Security Patches

    We have a group of SOA Suite developers uisng Oracle XE 10 locally on laptops. We are getting advised by IT security that securiy patches are needed.
    We are looking at following options - Apply security patches to XE 10 , upgrade to XE 11 or move to Oracle Standard DB.
    A couple of questions:
    1. Are security patches available for XE 10? If so, where do you get the patches?
    2. Would moving to XE 11 include security patches?
    Appreciate any input.
    Thanks

    1) No, XE cannot be patched.
    2) For 11g, same answer, there are no security patch sets available for any XE.
    11g might have security patches up to the time it was released but there have been several patches released since. If the security patches are needed a different edition is required.

  • Running Windows 7 on a Mac: updates and security

    I will be purchasing a new MacBook Pro soon and will need to run Windows in order to access some corporate applications and to use Internet Explorer (for Microsoft's Share Point application, Live Meeting, etc.) for my work - fairly limited Windows applications.  I have been reading some comparisons of Fusion vs. Parallels and superficially understand the difference between the virtual machine approach and Boot Camp.  If I want to enjoy the benefits of doing most of my personal computing on a Mac, it only makes sense for me to have Windows running as an OSX application rather than have to restart to get to Windows via Boot Camp.  If I'm going to do the latter, I might as well buy a Windows PC, at least for work.
    Despite searching around on the web and talking to various Apple folks on the phone and in stores, I have not been able to find clear answers about 2 issues that seem crucial in running Windows via Parallels or Fusion: (1) how does one install Windows updates, which seem to come out every few days, some of which are major fixes; and (2) what are the security concerns in running Windows as an OSX application - are there any? If there are security issues in running WIndows via Fusion or Parallels, what are the best ways to protect oneself?
    A related set of questions is: (3) is it sensible to install Windows in a Boot Camp partition as well as to install it via Fusion or Parallels, or does it work to just install via the virtual machine method, at least for my purposes? If I were to install Windows both ways, would I run into licensing issues with Microsoft, where it might look to them like I was installing Windows on more than one machine?  And, if I were to install Windows natively via Boot Camp, what are the best options for security?
    Thank you anyone out there who can provide answers or point me to answers.

    1.  Run Windows Update like you would on any other PC.
    2.  Windows is Windows no matter how it's installed so it's susceptable to the same viruses you could get by running it on any other PC.
    3.  Both Parallels and Fusion can boot from an installation of Boot Camp. you don't nee to install Windows twice.

  • Leopard 10.5.2 Update and Powerpoint 2008 performance

    Anyone having performace problems with Powerpoint 2008 under 10.5.2?
    I updated to 10.5.2 with no problems (that I know of) and everything seems to work fine except it now takes 10-15 seconds to open Powerpoint 2008 from the time that is displays the intro splash for Powerpoint. There is no performance problem with either Word or Excel - they open as fast as before 10.5.2. I'm wondering if it was something in the update or perhaps the subsequent Leopard Graphics update.
    Any ideas or help??

    Just an update, but no solution - I decided to try a reinstall of Office 2008 to see if that fixed the problem. I even went as far as restarting between deleting the old install and beginning the new one. I also did a custom install and chose not to install Microsoft fonts, since they are already installed and I wanted to make sure I did not create any duplicate font problems.
    Result was the same performance problem when starting up Powerpoint. What makes it really frustrating is that I'm not even opening an existing presentation. I'm just starting the program and waiting for a blank, untitled presentation.
    Hopefully we'll hear something soon...

  • Quicktime 7.1 update and Security Update 2006-003 (Intel)

    I have been avoiding these software updates after reading the threads about the problems. Should I wait for the next update or will I eventually have to do these updates? Anybody else avoiding these?

    Mark-
    It seems my problem was Adobes Version Que update, not my security update. If you have Version Que and run into booting problems after your updates, boot in Safe Mode and delete the sucker.
    This problem drove me crazy because I'm on the eve of a huge job tomorrow, and my MBP is key in it.
    Thanks for all those support postings out there guys.

  • Updated to Snow Leopard (Got all software updates) and dock randomly disappears?

    Extra info: Cannot minimise things as there is nowhere to minimise them to
    Havn't seen any part of the dock since updated from Leo to S-Leo
    PLEASE HELP!

    Go to System Preferences, select Dock.
    For the sliders, put them in the middle, about halfway between min/max and small/large. Make sure the "automatically hide and show the dock" is UNCHECKED.
    If you still have the problem after doing that, check to see if other users/logins on the computer have the same issue. If they show the dock ok, and it is only your login that has the problem, then go to your username/Library folder, and open the Preferences folder inside of it. Move all files that are com.apple.dock.* to the desktop and restart. If the problem is fixed, then put those files in the trash, otherwise move them back to where they were.
    If all users have the problem, go to your hard drive Library folder (not the one inside a user's folder) and open it, then open Preferences folder, then move all com.apple.dock*.* files to the desktop, restart, and see if the problem is fixed. If it is, put those files in the trash, otherwise restore them to where they were.

  • Safari 3.1 and Security update on PowerPC G5 dual 2.5 now super slow HELP !

    I installed the safari update and security update today and now my Mac is running Slower then it ever has. I have a PowerPC G5 Dual 2.5 liquid cooled 2.5gigs of ram. I ran the hardware test disk and all checked out fine I really have no idea what to do and this machine is running like a hog. I would appreciate any help anyone might have for me.

    If your Safari keeps crashing, or if you are updating Safari (or just have):
    Input Managers and other plug-ins from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If Safari is crashing, the very first thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
    So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
    Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party ad-on. Add-on that have been frequently mentioned here, among others, for causing such problems are Piclens, Saft, AcidSearch and Pithhelmet. If you have them, trash them and go the developer's sites to see if new versions are available for Safari 3.1.
    You should also ensure, if you are running Tiger 10.4.11, that you have downloaded and installed the correct version for your Mac of Security Update 2008-002. Like all security updates, this requires a restart and a permission repair.
    As Leopard also uses Safari 3.1, much of the above may well also apply to Leopard, but is not guaranteed. Moreover:
    Some users have mentioned that the latest Flash Player (v.9.0.115.0) conflicts with Safari in Leopard, and that they have needed to revert to v. 9.0.47. This can be downloaded from here:
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1
    To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
    Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
    • /Library/InputManagers
    • ~/Library/InputManagers
    especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).
    Additionally try this:
    Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
    form values
    download.plist
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Repair permissions.
    Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.
    If not, MacFixit have published a very detailed (very!) article on speeding up a slow Safari, here:

  • Arch and security updates

    Hi all,
    I was thinking about security updates and wondered how Arch deals with them.
    For example:
    Gentoo has a huge repo and security patches are applied when needed.
    Ubuntu has a huge repo only if you enable the universe and multiverse repos, but they don't get security updates from the Ubuntu devs
    How does Arch handle security updates? What about the packages in community? I'm guessing that they are based on when the maintainers update them?
    Thanks

    well when i used it or maintained packages for it most security "patches" came in the form of upgrading to the newest version. For the rare times that a new version of a insecure appp was not released patches would be applied and the arch version woud go up.
    God only knows what they do now though.

  • Security update and strange behavior

    First, let me say that most of the recent 10.4.X updates and security updates have casued me a lot of headache. It started somewhere around 10.4.7, and it seems that most of the updates since then have caused my iMac G5 to act up. An update would install and the computer wouldn't start back up afterward...it would hang on the gray logo screen. I have reinstalled OS X many times since then. I do not want to do it again since I may be getting a new iMac soon. Anyway, my current problem came after the recent security update 2009-005PPC - a lot of applications just won't start anymore. iTunes, iPhoto, Disk Utility, and a few others just won't start. Safari, Mail, Firefox all start fine. I can't open any .dmg files to reinstall the security update. Permissions have been repaired and I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions? I'm really frustrated and disappointed that this iMac has had so many struggles with OS updates over the years. No, I won't install Leopard because I've read that it will run on a G5 but it doesn't do it well.

    Hi Rodney, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Permissions have been repaired and I'm not sure what else to do.
    Very important, before repairing Permissions or doing any updating, Verify the Hard Drive & Repair if needed.
    "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. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. 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.
    What does Disk Utility say if you try to Verify it?
