Mac shuts down after security update 2007-005

I installed security update 2007-005 and now after going to sleep the mac just shuts down. I have repaired permissions and run DiskWarrior. It just keeps happening.

Since I have installed security update 2007-003 and 4, DVD player was disabled. now that apple released security update 2007-005, I am now facing more serious issues with the entire system halting (the clock is frozen and the mouse turns into a beach ball... every once in a while)! I am beginning to suspect that the last three security updates need to be avoided at any cost since I have had so many problems with them!
So, in answer to your question, I would just run a clean install of OS 10.3, and never install security update 2007-004 and 5 until apple assures us that there are no more flaws in the security updates again!

  • After Security update 2011-005 I my second monitor is black.

    Hi Folks,
    After security update 2011-005, I colud not get my second display working. I tried safe boot, didn't help, tried different resolutions didn't help. Reboot did not help either.
    The second display is detected but it is black.
    I am currently on MacOs10.6.8 running on my MacBook Pro.
    Peace.

    Don't remove any screws to do an SMC reset:
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
    Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

  • Applications not responding apparently after Security Update 2007-009

    Mail, iTunes, Skype, MSN Messenger, MainMenu, Emule, Safari and god know what else aren't responding after Security Update 2007-009.
    Hi,
    I recently purchased a new phone that does not work with macs, so I bought an application from Feisar to make it work. The application isn't freeware, so I think it is very unlikely that it bogused my system. Anyway, I installed the software, but only afterwards noticed it didn't work for my phone model with the USb interface, only through bluetooth, which I don't have. Moreover, and, in my opinion, more importantly, I also downloaded and installed security update 2007-009. After the update, I mandatorily restarted OS X and instantly noticed Mail, iTunes, Safari, Skype and Messenger not working. I click on them on the dock, they bounce (usually once, but it has occured to be more) and nothing happens. I don't get the little arrow below the icon. I see the applications in the applications folder, so they are not missing. I searched and searched on the internet and, apparently it is, to say the least, herculeanly complicated to downgrade from a software update. I tried to repair permissions and it didn't work. I tried the apple hardware test and everything came out perfect. I restarted many times and the same keeps happening.
    So I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
    This is the error message I get:
    Command: Installer

    I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack (which reapetedly said that I had a "fan failure!"), I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing.
    The most likely line to follow here is the "fan failure" message in apple jack. I looked inside my g5 and all fans except for the one close to the Hard Drives aren't spining. I'm not sure this means they aren't functional or whether the temperature isn't high enough for it to be turned on. Temperature must be around 26-28 degrees Celsius today. There is nothing on the internet about that fan failure that's close enough to my case.
    I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

    Maybe it is a security update thing! I have had similar troubles with my CS2 and other simple apps like TextEdit not opening, just doing that single bounce... I have tried EVERYTHING and now, after reinstalling my entire system, have lost access to my own user profile.
    I'm assuming you have tried starting up with your original system install disk in the computer, while you turn it on, hold the option key, it will allow you to run another hardware check, as well as to do an archive install if it comes down to that.
    good luck, please let me know if you find out something else that might be causing the problems... i've noticed that alot of mac threads have similar probs listed.

  • Mac shuts down after 10 Min.

    My mac shuts down automatically after 10 Min., I must sign in again and the movie or whatever I just watch is still on in the back.
    How can I prefend this cutoff?
    I read all the comments, but no help. Even if I turn off the Mac or unplug it, it does not help.

    No, did not help. I take it to the store. Thanks anyway.

  • Security Update 2007-005 (powerpc) Problems

    I installed the Security Update 2007-005 (PowerPC) on May 31 on my MacBook Pro. I can't be certain, but I think since I installed it I have a spinning ball and can't do much of anything. Like something is bogging it down. It will eventually stop but will start again the minute I do anything... something is just not right. I have tried all troubleshooting techniques but found it is not possible to even try them.
    Safe Boot... It automatically decides to shut down before it gets to the safe boot screen.
    Disk Utility... Restarting off the disk, yes, but when I run the program I get "could not unmount disk"
    Trying to run fsck -y, in single user mode (command s)... I get "Volume is journaled. No checking performed. Use the -f option to force checking.
    I have no idea what to do next. I guess I will try to reinstall my system off my disks. Does anyone have any ideas... please help this is taking up so much time.

    How did you install the Security Update? Did you use Software Update or did you download? Because if you downloaded the PowerPC version, well, you say you have a MacBook Pro which is an Intel machine, not a PowerPC. Software Update would automatically install the correct version for your machine.
    If it dies on Safe Boot my guess is when it runs the Disk Repair function it is encountering problems it can't fix and so it quits.
    To run fsck on a journaled volume you need to use this command:
    fsck -yf
    which forces the file system check. At least this will tell you if it is possible to repair the disk. You might need something stronger, such as Disk Warrior.

  • Security Update 2007-005 - Cannot find Server under Server  Admin

    After I installed Security Update 2007-005 all my machines began to have problems. I was able to get them all running except my server, it is a PowerMac G4 running Mac OSX Server 10.4.9. When I click on my server in Server Admin it acts as though the server does not exist. I am able to boot to the machine and connect to the shared drives from my client computers. However the web server is not working at all.

    However when i disconnect and try to connect
    with the hostname
    When you say ‘hostname’ do you mean its .local name? or its FQDN?
    the server admin buttons show up
    as little padlocks instead of the normal green. It
    does not let me connect.
    This is intersting! Whats described is not mentioned in any Apple Server documentation that I’ve seen – perhaps someone knows different? I’ve never seen a padlock icon in Server Admin Services list. My experience has been you can connect to Server Admin and it shows green against services running, or you can’t connect but have the server left in the list and all services are red. Workgroup Manager shows a padlock if you are not authenticated to Open Directory node, is this what you mean?

  • Delay when opening Airport menu bar item following Security Update 2007-005

    When I first got this computer, there was one annoying quirk: when I clicked on the Airport menu bar item at the top right, there would be a roughly 1 second pause before the menu actually appeared. I recall hearing other people having the same experience at the time. Airport worked fine, but this delay was really annoying: since you're not sure if the system registered your click, so you click again, but then it registers the second click which causes the menu to disappear as soon as it appears, and you click again, and fall into this ridiculous cycle of fighting the sluggish menu item.
    Before long, this issue disappeared following some update (I can't remember which).
    After installing Security Update 2007-005, this exact same annoyance has reappeared. (I can confirm that the presence of the 802.11n Enabler update has no effect on the problem.)
    Is anyone else noticing this? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

    Hi
    Can you tell people how you cured the problem, so that those who search looking for answers to a similar problem know how to fix it?

    I haven't got a problem myself, BTW)

  • Security update 2007-005 and airport connection

    Please help. I downloaded the security update 2007 005 on my powerbook G4 Friday night. Now I cannot get on my airport. It says there was an error joining the airport network (name of my airport) It gives me 2 options try again
    or ok. i have tried everything. I even tried pinging my pc that I am on now to email this to see if I could connect with anything.But the powerbook fails to send any ping. I have rebooted, both the airport and the powerbook--several times. I have looked for information
    everywhere about this both in Mac Help on my computer and online and have turned up nothing that can fix this unless I want to reinstall the operating system.
    My only conclusion is that the security update did this. I was online (of course) as I downloaded the update and ever since I can not get online with the airport. Thank heavens I have a PC to get email or maybe get help through a forum like this. I have been trying to fix this all weekend. In system preferences /network status it says airport is turned on but not connected to a network when there is one. Any advice?
    powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    I have a same problem, everything worked fine until I've downloaded security update. My Airport doesn't allow me to connect to my PASSWORD protected network. My PC is working fine. The only way is to be connected to open source. Called Mac support and they blame router (it is not mac's router). Their suggestion is to reinstall whole system (and lose software I payed for) or buy new router (macs????). So I am stuck. The advice by apple support was NOT to download updates!!!!Why on Earth do they have them????

  • Mac shuts down after boot. Is it the logic board?

    mac shuts down after boot. Doesn't go beyond gray screen with apple.  Is it the logic board?
    I do not have the start up disks to safe boot or check the hardware.
    Any ideas what the problem is or is it junk?  It is 8 years old.

      Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
    is being checked.
        http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
    I'd let the machine sit for awhile in open firmware & see if it stays alive.  Do a few prints.
    Sometimes if volumes don't appear in Startup Manager (what you get when you hold down the Option key at startup), you need to reset the Mac's PRAM, NVRAM, and Open Firmware. Shut down the Mac, then power it up, and before the screen lights up, quickly hold down the Command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac has chimed twice more after the powerup chime. Then, before the screen lights up, hold down Command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware screen appears. Then enter these lines, pressing Return after each one:
    reset-nvram
    set-defaults
    reset-all
    "The reset-all command should restart your Mac. If so, you have successfully reset the Open Firmware settings."

    After having shut down after installing updates, when I restarted and tried to open a word doc, it started opening ALL the word docs and the only way I could stop it was by"force quit"  . This is REALLY annoying!!

    May be it is the Resume feature.

  • Security Update 2007-005 (1.0) Printing & Classic problems

    I installed "Security Update 2007-005" (1.0) on 5/26 and now I can't print on my Brother MFC 9800 Laser Printer or my Canon i960 due to an error. Classic has also frozen. I can't reinstall my drivers due to "errors". I am using OS 10.3.9 on a Dual 2 GHz PowerPV G5. Any ideas?

    Yrag:
    1. Make sure you have a good, up-to-date backup.
    2. Repair Disk Permissions:
    While booted from your internal HDD
    Go to (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left column and First Aid in main column.
    Click Repair Disk Permissions at bottom left.
    3. Download and install stand-alone 10.3.9 Combo Update
    4. Reapir Disk Permissions again.
    Please do post back and let me know how it goes.

  • Security update 2007-005 and Imovie problem

    Yesterday my macbook automatically installed security update 2007-005. I later opened Imovie HD 6 and found a problem - when opening, the program title etc was shown in the desktop menu but then the last movie I worked on started to open, putting the opening picture directly onto the top left of the desktop over everything else including the menu. The Imovie page then opened on top of this, with a blank Imovie screen. To get the movie into the screen I have to start the movie running. Imovie then seems to work OK but this leaves fragments of the first screenshot of the movie still on the desktop until overwritten by other programs or actions. What can I do about it?

  • Mac shuts down? Already updated firmware.

    My MacBook has been fine since I bought it in May 2007. However, today I had left my MacBook on and plugged in, while a read a book. I turned to my MacBook, and Firefox had shut down. I wasn't sure why, but I just opened it back up. I left my MacBook again, positive I left it on, and when I came back, it (my Mac) was off. This happened twice today. Maybe it's Firefox, it was open both times my computer shut down, but I haven't updated it, or my Mac today or yesterday.
    I'll update this post as needed.
    EDIT: Forgot to add that I never saw my Mac shut down. I am almost positive I left it on though.

    Is it plugged in when you do this or running on battery? What firmware update are you talking about?
    Check and see if you have battery update 1.3 installed. You should find it at the location listed. Right click on the bundle and check *Get Info* a window will open and you can check the version there.
    MacBook/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/BatteryUpdater.bundle
    Leopard(10.5.1) and Tiger(10.4.11) installs it. It is the MacBook Pro update.
    If it is 1.3 drag it to the trash and then reboot. After you reboot you will be able to empty the trash. Once you have done that run software update and it should install Battery Update 1.2. You should reset the SMC (System Management Controller) after doing this.

  • Prey game not launching after Security Update 2007-004

    After applying Apple Security Update 2007-004, Prey (Mac version) is not launching and continuously crashes on my computer. I have uninstalled all game files and reinstalled the game from the original DVD but with no success. Repairing disc permissions, updating prebindings and other usual maintainence meaures are unfortunately not helping. I have an external USB hard disc running Mac OS 10.4.9 without the Security Update applied and Prey works properly when my computer boots up from this external hard drive. It is therefore apparent that Apple Security Update 2007-004 has most probably caused Prey to become non-functional as prior to this the game was working without any problems whatsoever.
    Has anyone else expereinced this problem and are there any suggestions?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    Contact the game author's site and report it so they can update it.

  • Mail and Safari crashes after Security Update 2007-006 and update 10.4.10

    I just installed Security Update 2007-006 (Universal) and Mac OS X Update (Intel) 10.4.10 and now neither Mail nor Safari (nor sometimes Microsoft Messanger) will start. They just crash immediately after starting. Safari started working for a short while, but now, again, it won't start either, and Mail has not opened once since installing these two updates without immediately crashing. Does anyone have any idea why that might be so or how I can fix it?

    Hi Barry,
    Thank you very much for your quick answer. I never installed Safari 3 beta. I ran the repair disk and repair permissions from my install DVD, and did it did find and fix errors. I also deleted com.apple.safari.plist as suggested, but neither Safari nor Mail will open yet without crashing immediately (I've also rebooted since doing so). Additionally, I found a suggestion on another website to try installing "Mac OSX Update Combo 10.4.10"--Software Update installed the non-combo version, whatever that means, but the Combo installer app also crashes when I try to start it. Do you have any other suggestions? What other information can I give that could help? These problems only occurred after my reboot this morning after installing the OSX and security updates. Anyway, thanks for your help.
