Macbook won't boot after installing Security Update 2008-007 (Intel)

I installed security update 2008-007 (intel) on my MacBook last night using Software Update, but now my machine won't boot at all. All I get is the gray start-up screen with the dark gray apple, but there's no spinning progress bar or anything. After 5 minutes or so, the machine auto-restarts, but again hangs on the gray start-up screen. It does this over and over again until I shut it off. I tried to boot into safe mode by holding down shift right after the chime, but it still wouldn't boot (again, not even a spinning progress bar). Can anyone please help me? I really don't want to lose my photos/movies, etc. I'll backup everything promptly if I can just get it to boot. Thanks.

Hi jared-lee, and again, a warm welcome to the forums!
First for safety, "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."

This may or may not fix the problem, but may.
Do you have another Mac around?

After installing security update 2008-007

I installed security update 2008-007 yesterday and now several applications refuse to open: adobe acrobat, itunes, and the image capture application for my HP scanner/printer, so far have "closed unexpectedly immediately upon opening. This is my first entry on a discussion board, so let me know if there's a better way to get some good advice

You're doing great for a first post!
Could be many things, we should start with this...

FCE 3.5 wouldn't open after installing Security Update 2008-007

Installed the update from Software Update like a good little girl, then couldn't open FCE, which is my main reason for owning the Mac. Don't remember the details. After it dawned on me that the update or my simpleminded approach to installing it was probably the cause of the malfunction, I rebooted from my Carbon Copy Clone, first time ever for real. After everything was demonstrably back to what passes for normal, I sent CCC another $25 to celebrate!
Now I have checked for updates and SU 2008-007 is still sitting there but I am afraid to try it again. How was I supposed to know about doing disc repairs and god knows what-all else before & after? And what else don't I know that will skunk me? Looks like there have been a number of problems on this forum traceable to SU 2008-007. Kind of like dear old Service Pack 2 on the PC...
What's the downside of NEVER installing the update? Or can somebody clarify for me how to do it safely?
Thanks,
Sharron

Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, 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 again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

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.

OSX cannot boot-up after installing Security Update 2008-008

Hi Everyone.
I'm using a MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz Dual Core Intel Xeon with 3GB RAM with Tiger 10.4.11.
After installing Security Update 2008-008, my OSX was not able to boot-up. The screen shows the Apple Logo and the spinning grey gear wheel. It stayed that way for several hours.
I finally switched it off and re-installed OSX 10.4.8 using the Start-up disk that came with my MacPro.
Now I've updated the OSX, all the software & updates EXCEPT Security Update 2008-08. My MacPro works fine now.
Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
Sincerely,
Azman

Was Security Update 2008-008 the cause of this problem ?
Probably not directly. Very likely something was not quite right on your computer before the update and the update happened to exacerbate that. A number of people feel that optimizing the maintenance of your computer before doing the update and doing the update under controlled conditions minimizes problems.
There's been recent discussions as to what steps are truly necessary in doing a minimal problem update.
I think #1 to which all agree is to make sure you have a backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility.
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.

Finder(?) problem after installing security update 2008-008

I hope someone can help with this problem:
After I installed Security update 2008-008 the finder(?) has begun to behave irratically.
Whenever the mousepad is clicked, the dock slides off to the left and the click is not registered by whichever application I am in. Mostly menus are affected. I now have to click the application and menu item several times before the click is registered.
Safari is particularly badly affected with the pointer jumping around the screen when trying to copy an url (dock keeps sliding to the left), page back/forward doesn't work - url links within web pages are not recognised. Furthermore, when using yahoo mail, menus like 'send' and 'save' are not recognised.
Any suggestions how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Andrew

HI Andrew,
This is most likely caused by some 3rd part APP or kext that is now out of date.
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then test your problem there.
Now reboot in regular mode, if the problem didn't happen in Safe Mode, but does in Regular mode, See if there is anything relevant in...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
Also look in in Your Accounts Pref Pane Login Items window.

Since installing Security Update 2008-004 (Intel) ProTools won't open

Hello,
I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on my mac, and since I installed the Security Update 2008-004 (Intel) every time I try to open ProTools the ProTools icon jumps up and down a few times and then it stops, the program won't open. Are there any similar issues with this update and any other applications? I'm 100% sure the security update is what caused the problem, nothing else out of the ordinary has happened since with my mac.
Thanks for the help.

If you still have this problem, and you're using ProTools 7.3, try this Digidesign update here:
http://www.digidesign.com/index.cfm?langid=1&navid=54&itemid=36872
It worked!

Can't Install Security Update 2008-007

Using Software Update it states that it downloaded Security Update 2008-007 ver 1.0. When I restart my computer it begins the installation process. However, it hangs on "Configuring Installation".
When I try to manually download and install the Security Update it won't allow me to choose my hard drive as the volume. It states that the volume doesn't meet the 'requirements'.
I have a MacBook Air SSD with 12GB of space available. Anyone have any ideas? Is this update not for the MBA? Or do I need to change some settings somewhere to get this to install?

I solved the issue by going to apple's supprt site and downloading the standalone installer.
Take note in Software Update how big the file is that it wants to download. Mine was 31Mb.
So when I went here: http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ I downloaded the 31MB file of the security update.
I then opened the installer, let it install and restart, now the security update doesn't come up when I open Software Update.
Does this work for others? Make sure you are getting the correct file off the apple site. Check the size of the file in Software Update.

G4 won't boot after last Security Update

I have an AGP G4 tower that's been running 10.4.11 fine until today. The last thing I did was Software Update. The only things on the list were an iLife update and a Security Update. I don't know the update number but since I always keep the system updated, I can only assume these two updates were the latest available.
So after the update... I hit the "restart" button but then I get the grey screen with a prohibitory sign and a spinning wheel.
It's not a hardware issue... I can reboot this machine into an alternate hard drive just fine.
I fixed permissions.
I ran disk utility - hard disk checked out ok.
Still can't boot using this drive.
Obviously this last security update broke my system folder because it's as if it can't find a valid system.
So now the question is, what can I do to fix my system folder?
Thank-you.

Simple fix.
I downloaded and installed the 10.4.11 Combo Update onto original drive while booted into the alternate drive. I then downloaded and installed the Security Update 2008-0001 onto the original drive. As a precaution I repaired permissions on the original drive.
Successfully booted into original drive.

System 10.3.9 freezes at startup after installing Security Update 2006-007

I installed the security update 2006-007 this morning and upon restart everything froze once the words "login window starting" appeared.
I tried a bunch of troubleshooting suggestions from the support pages ("Your Mac won't startup in OS X - 10.3.9 or earlier") including starting in safe mode, single user mode and dumping login preferences, network prefs, reset certain priveleges. None of these solved the problem.
Is the only work around for this to re-install the system?
PowerMac g4 dual proc. Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Ed,
I admit to being somewhat perplexed by your experience. But let me ramble a bit here anyway.
My opinion is that problems of the sort that you are experiencing (freeze after a software update) are almost always due to some software problem. (I base this opinion to a large extent on the experiences of other people in these forums.) The fact that your system works okay with Tiger is consistent with this idea.
But, if it is a software problem, why did it not go way when you re-installed Panther? I am wondering how you did the re-install. Was it an Archive and Install? That is the easiest approach and the first one to try, but there are some things it cannot fix. For one, if user settings and preferences are maintained during the A&I and the problem is related to these settings or preferences, then the problem will remain. In that case, an Erase and Install would be needed to clear out everything. Of course, this also deletes all of your data, so it is something you do not want to do unless you have a backup (which you said that you have).
Another thing that an A&I cannot solve is corruption of the filesystem (computer loses track of where some files start and stop on the hard drive). This problem can usually be detected and often repaired by booting off your install CD and using Disk Utility to repair the disk. You said that you used Disk Utility but gave no other details. I take that to imply that you detected no problems. If there are problems and Disk Utility is unable to fix them, a more powerful utility can sometimes do the job, and sometimes there is no solution except to reformat the hard drive and re-install the operating system. This of course destroys all data on the drive.
If there were a hardware problem behind this, the most likely thing in my view would be some bad blocks on the hard drive. I am pretty sure that Disk Utility, as used above, will look for bad blocks and mask them out if any are found. You mentioned something about 1 Gig of RAM. I think that RAM is unlikely to be the culprit. Problems with RAM usually are manifested as more erratic behavior that what you are experiencing.
You have already exhausted many of usual tricks, so what are your options? It sounds like you do not want to buy a copy of Tiger just to fix this and I can understand that. So, you could go to more and more extreme versions of re-installing your software. By this I mean using your Panther install disks to do an Archive and Install, then to do an Erase and Install if the first did not work, then to reformat and do an install if the Erase and Install did not work. Before doing either of these last two step,s you want to be sure that you have backup that you know works. You have said that "re-installing Panther does not fix the problem" and also that you "haven't done a system restore". It is not really clear to me what you mean by re-installing Panther. Was this from a backup or from your install CD?
If you want to avoid a re-install from your install CD as long as possible, then my suggestion is to attempt to troubleshoot the problem further by booting into Single User mode (which I think you have done). Once you get the disk mounted, I would suggest looking in the system.log file for an error message. Once you have mounted the disk, you can look at the end of the system.log file with the command
tail /var/log/system.log
Look to see if any of the messages look like they might be indicative of a problem. If you see nothing, you can print out more lines by doing this:
tail -40 /var/log/system.log
which will cause the last 40 lines to be printed. If you see any message that might be hinting at a problem, post it back here and perhaps someone will get a clue. I should say at the outset that this way of doing things takes a lot of patience and is not guaranteed to provide a solution.
I hope this ramble helps a bit. I know your are frustrated and I hope you get a solution soon.

AirPort problem after installing Security Update 2007-007

Help! I installed the security update 2007-007 on my Mac mini os x and now my AirPort is not detecting any signal. Should I backup the system and then reboot? I'm not really sure what to do. I have tried almost everything I can imagine. I checked through the user logs and all was functioning properly until the update installed. All of the settings for the network and internet connect say that they have failed.
Please help! I am not particularly familiar about backing up -- how do I do this? (please spell out for me, I'm really new to mac!)
Thanks in advance

Can't help with the airport problem, since I don't do wireless. As for backing up, these should get you pointed in the right direction:

Something happened after install security update 2008-006(PPC)

Hi there,
I have just installed the security update 2008-006(ppc) for my old powerbook, G4 1.5Mhz. Now every time when i go to network in the system preferences, i immediately got this message "Your network setting have been changed by another application" No matter how many "OK" i clicked, this message will kept appeared. I tried to restart my powerbook, but the powerbook responded that the system preferences have cancelled the restart. Can only force quit the system preferences. I can still connect to the network, just that if i go to any new places with new network setting, i will not be able to change the network setup in my powerbook.
Before i install the upgrade patch, this never happened, so i am assuming it was because of the patch. Can anyone help me? thanks.

This seems to work also...

Lost a new mailbox after installing Security update 2008-03- 10.4.11

I was organizing my mail, created a new Mailbox in the Saved Folder and moved a lot of mail to it. Then I saw that there was a Security update available so I closed all apps and applied the security update 2008-03. Now in Mail, the new mailbox and its contents are gone. Help ?!?

Couldn't find it in my Library so I'm guessing rebuilding an index won't accomplish much. Could I have tripped myself up with the name I used? I called it .MDance and had created it, I thought, in Saved, so that it would be at the top of the list. None of my other mailboxes are named that way. It's a naming scheme I've used in Windows (ugh), but it worked to keep a current, important folder at the top of a list.
And, yes, I know better than to apply OS changes without a backup. So fooey on me. Luckily the messages I lost aren't completely critical. Many are still out on Bellsouth so I can 'recover' that way.
I'll be more careful about backups, I just have been so happy with Mac that I got lazy.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Mac Pro Won't Start After Installing Security Update Tonight

I just installed the latest security update for Lion on my Mac Pro via software update. The update seemed to install fine. I was about to start work when all of a sudden the system rebooted on its own. Now it just continues to reboot because it can't complete the boot up.
I tried resetting PRAM and SMC, but this didn't help.
I tried booting up from CD using an old SNL disk. I was able to get to disk tools once. I checked my startup volume and disk tools said the volumes is fine. I was checking permissions when once again the system rebooted on its own.
I tried starting up in safe mode, but it only gets so far into the boot process before it reboots.
I tried starting in verbose mode, and noticed several SMC related errors (this is why I tried to reset the SMC). No joy.
If I leave the system sit a few minutes, it gets further into the boot process, but still won't boot completely.
Any suggestions?

Problem with HP Media Centre M7670.UK-a - won't boot after installing an update to Apple Quicktime

I just installed the latest update to Apple Quicktime (after an update message appeared on the screen). When asked if I wanted to re-boot the PC now, I clicked on Yes.
Now the computer won't boot. The power light comes on, then the disk drive light flashes for a moment, then nothing else happens and the PC starts to beep. The beeps are repeating, with 2 short beeps and one long beep. What do the beeps mean?
This question was solved.

Then a clear CMOS would be the next logical troubleshooting step.
Here is a link to your motherboard specifications.
The information on clearing CMOS is at the bottom of the document.
This is usually the last step before giving up on a motherboard.
The problem you are facing is motherboard hardware firmware related.
