Macbook not rebooting after most recent security update

Hi
My rather aged Macbook (1.1 I think) has not responded very well to the latest security update and is refusing to reboot, all I get is the grey screen.
Please help!!!

Shut it down by holding the power button for five seconds. Then boot while holding the Command + S keys. Hold those keys until you see a black screen with text. Allow that screen to load completely then type fsck -yf and hit return. When you see "The disk has been modified" or "The disk appears to be okay" type reboot and hit return.

TextEdit and Stickies not working after most recent security update

Hi,
I recently installed security update 2007-009 (Universal) along with Java for Mac OS X 10.4 Release 6.
Immediately afterwards I had real trouble with some third party apps such as Butler.app, as well as Stickies.
The problem seemed to resolve itself, but it has come back with a vengeance tonight. Neither Stickies nor TextEdit will let me type beyond a few characters before "not responding". Butler has also not loaded.
What is going on? And what can I do to use my most practical writing tools? This is incredibly frustrating.

Hi, I think I need to update my profile because my computer definitely says it has 10.4.11
I managed to solve the stickies and TextEdit issues by removing Butler in the end.

Both iPhoto and Mac Mail not working after most recent security update

Granted I wasn't there to see it happen but I think my mom's computer here is a bit fubar based on something having been changed on her computer prior to the last security update. My guess is that her friends who think they are 'helping' are actually causing some real problems but I'm here now so I'm just trying to fix it with what I can.
Essentially neither her mail or iPhoto seems to be working. I've found a similar error message in other posts but what throws me for a loop is that, when I use the console log and look at the crash files for both applications, they are both telling me the exact same thing. Could they both be pulling the same file for use? I've already run the disk repair stuff, changed the permissions on the file and just about everything else I could think of - do I need to reinstall the application or perhaps the entire operating system?

Systems preferences do not respond....after most recent Security Update...

HELP.........systems preferences do not respond....after most recent Security Update...During the most recent Security update download, near the end of the process,clean turned all graining and seemed to freeze. I waited awhile and then turned the computer.

Eclipse IDE won't start anymore after most recent security update

Hello everybody,
after today's security update the Eclipse IDE won't start anymore on my system, I just receive the following error message:
A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or Java Development Kit (JDK) must be available in order to run Eclipse.
No Java virtual machine was found after searching the following locations: /Applications/eclipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/jre/bin/
java
'java' in your current PATH
Java is installed and Eclipse ran smoothly until I upgraded. Other Java programs like Visual Paradigm still work without problems.
Does anybody have an idea what I can do about this? I have already tried repairing permissions, to no avail.
Best regards,
Björn
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I have narrowed down the problem even more:
Obviously system path variables are not set anymore on my system for UNIX processes that are started in background, whereas starting applications from terminal using the open command ('open Gimp.app' for instance) still works without any problems.
Any ideas where to change this behaviour?

MAC WILL NOT REBOOT AFTER DOWNLOADING LATEST SECURITY UPDATE

I downloaded the latest Security Update to my Mac Mini with Snow Leopard. It downloaded but would not restart. I finally managed to get it to boot to a bootable external drive and using Disk Utility found the HD was OK but the Preferences way out of wack. I patched up what I could but when I tried restarting to the original drive it would not work. I just get the white screen with a circle and stroke through it after a minute with the spinning ball. I have tried the original start up Disk, pressing C on Startup, but it just spits it out. I tried to use an older System Disk, one for Leopard but it will not see it. I tried zapping the PRAM twice to no avail. Now it won't see the bootable drive either.....
To me it sound like a massive hard drive fail, maybe nothing to do with the Security update. Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated though.....
Thanks,
Stephen

Hello
It seems that the update set your preferences to "use PPPOe" while you where using "TCP/IP".
Go to "System Preferences" and enter the pane whose icon is named "Réseau" in french (maybe "Network" in english.
Reset your settings to "TCP/IP".

Office 365 sync problems after most recent security update

Since the security update, mail and calendar are not syncing with an email address at outlook.office365.com. After the update, Mail and Calendar wouldn't open with several tries. Sent reports to Apple. Finally, Mac took longest time to boot with the spinning disc. Then Mail and Calendar would open but they don't sync with my work emails. It doesn't say it didn't sync but it is clear it did not given that I can see the emails on my iPad and through webmail and on my phone. Any ideas? How can I make sure Mail and Calendar didn't get corrupted? How can I fix? How can I make them work so I can work?

I thought that this happened to myself as well, but I just let the computer run at the gray screen, and the apple and loading indicator came up a minute later. It stayed this way for a while, then it restarted itself and all is well.

Samba stopped working again after most recent security update

This is not the first time that Samba has stopped working for me after applying an update to Mac OS X.
I installed an update that 'Software Update' offered to me a day or two ago, and it has caused Samba to stop working again. I can't access the disks on my Powermac from any of my PCs (WinXP and Vista) again.
I tried turning the firewall off. I tried turning SMB file sharing off and turning it back on. I tried disabling and enabling each of the users for SMB access. Still doesn't work.
Under 'Sharing', I have 'File Sharing' enabled. Under its 'Options', I have 'Share files and folders using AFP' and 'Share files and folders using SMB' both enabled. I have my account enabled under 'Share files and folders using SMB'. I also tried disabling it and enabling it. Under Network setup, I have location 'Home' selected, because of previous problems with Samba not working if 'Automatic' was selected.
Ideas?
Thanks,

Each time my iMac reboots i am prompted to enter my FaceTime password. This just started occurring after the most recent security update.

Each time my iMac reboots I am prompted to enter my FaceTime password. This just started occurring after the most recent security update. When I put my password in the pop up just comes back, if I press cancle it goes away. Any ideas on how to get rid of this annoying popup?

I had the same problem. Try this. Launch FaceTime. Click the toggle to turn it off; or Command-K. Quit. Do a restart, you shouldn't get the popup. You could then turn FaceTime back on if you wish. Either way, the popup should be gone from then on.

Welcome to the Forums Jack!
First...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X 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."

Then Repair permissions and try a Safe Boot, hold shift at startup.
If that doesn't work and you have enough space on the HD, then you can try an Archive and Install feature...

IPhoto won't open after most recent automatic update

Hello,
After my most recent software update, iPhoto will not open. I click on the icon on the desktop (Macbook Pro) and nothing happens. Mac OS X (10.6.8) is my operating system.
Any help will be appreciated. I am worried I have lost all of my photos.
Sincerely,
Megan.

If you control-click on your iPhoto Library and select "Show Package Contents" there should be a folder in there named "Masters" - it should have all of your his-res photos in it.
Not certain why you're having problems just opening iPhoto - you may want to take your question to the iPhoto forum - where all of the iPhoto experts hang out.

Is there any fix for the bluetooth connectivity issue after most recent OS update?

Seems to be a common problem particularly with bluetooth headseat connectivity. Any ideas?

There is no bluetooth connectivity issue after the recent OS update. There may be a problem with your phone, which may or may not be related to the update. A "common problem" looks like this in the forums:
I haven't seen any threads on BlueTooth with over 1.4 million views and over 12,000 replies, or even any vaguely close. For any problem that someone has there is bound to be someone else amoung 150 million users who have it. That doesn't make it a "common problem."
If you tell us what the problem is specifically and what you have done so far to try to resolve it someone can probably help you.
