May 1 security update: Breaks Yahoo games access - Can I uninstall?

Hi there
I clicked on the link to install the latest security update. I have an Intel iMac duo core running 10.4.9.
When I try to log in to a Yahoo games room, I get a message:
Unable to authenticate userid
I have tried clearing caches and used "Cocktail."
I have tried reboots and shutdowns.
I have tried using Safari, Firefox, and Opera.
I am not an expert! I'd like to back out the update if
a. It's possible to do so
b. Someone can explain it clearly
Thanks

Hello sioux:
There is no way to "back out" an update. For future reference, I suggest you have a good backup/retreat strategy. I make bootable clones of my iMacs on an external firewire drive using a little program called SuperDuper ($28 at www.shirt-pocket.com).
I would, I think, clear the cookies that pertain to Yahoo and see if that clears up your situation.

Office 7 security updates will not install and can not uninstall Office 7

I am running Office 7 in Windows 7 Home Premium. I have three security updates that will not install. I tried to uninstall Office, but the uninstall program stops and says it can not continue. I have tried putting the Office 7 DVD in
the computer and reinstall Office 7, but install will not run. I have been working on this for two months.

Hi,
When referring office 7 do you mean office 2007?
For update issue, windowsupdate.log will give us some clue.
But I think the file is corrupt since you cannot uninstall or reinstall it. Kb 928218 may help us here:

Actually, for office issue, post in office forum could be better:

Hope this helps.

2006-007 security update breaks 8192-bit certificates: certtool X509Anchors

Installing the 2006-007 security update has caused Keychain Access and certtool to be unable to use my 8192-bit certificates. This issue hit me severely as it has impacted my entire OS/X Server SSL configuration, including Open Directory and Server Admin.
I have OS/X 10.4.8 clients connected to a 10.4.8 server. All of my server certificates -- including Mail, Open Directory, Apache, and iChat -- are verified by a self-signed X.509 CA certificate with an 8192-bit key.
Now, suddenly, Keychain Access and certtool barf all over the 8192-bit key. In my X509Anchors, the certificate data is now listed as invalid ("Unable to display this certificate"):
CSSMCLCertGetAllFields: CSPINVALID_ATTR_KEYLENGTH
OpenSSL 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 find it to be a valid certificate, and other applications (Firefox, Thunderbird, etc) have no problems.
Not only do Mail and Safari fail to function, I can no longer access the OS/X Server Admin. I now receive the error, "There is no server available at the address you entered. All services failed to access the address you provided for <server>. Check the address and try to log on again or contact your network administrator."
Some server certs have 4096- or 2048-bit keys. Certificates with 4096-bit keys or less are not a problem, but they all tie back to the 8192-bit CA cert.
Recreating and distributing new certs and chains to all client machines would be an administrative nightmare, and I'm not sure that I can change the Server certs and keys without access to Server Admin, anyway.
This is a huge problem, and I am stuck in the water. If anyone knows of a solution, or can get a response from Apple, please post it here!
Thanks,
dkallan
G5 Quad, G5 Dual, G4 PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.8) OS/X Server 10.4.8 with 2006-007 security update

Update: since I never found a fix, I ultimately and reulctantly created new 4096-bit keys for everything, all the way back to a new CA cert. Has anyone had success with 8192-bit keys since the 2006-007 security update?

Feb security update breaks Java 1.5 (again)?

OK so after running the most recent 10.6 security update, it seems that the trusty workaround for Java 1.5 ( described here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11244910#11244910 ) doesn't work any longer.
Here is the error I'm getting:
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file
at java.lang.ClassLoader.findBootstrapClass(Native Method)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.findBootstrapClass0(ClassLoader.java:946)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:308)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:280)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:374)
The application I'm trying to run used to work under the workaround linked above, which is to install the 10.5 Leopard Java 1.5 and use symlinks.
This doesn't make any sense to me - if I'm using the same Java 1.5 install that worked before why am I getting a class version error?

That is probably because Java 1.5 is not even utilized by 10.6. You are lucky you had it running this long. See this article on where Java standards are under 10.5, 10.6, and 10.7:

NEW SECURITY UPDATE BREAKS MAIL

Everything is set as it was before. None of my popmail accounts can connect, getting the error:
"The server returned the error: The attempt to read data from the server “pop.embarqmail.com” failed."
Tried changing the authentication to one account to ALL the various choices, no change.
Tried re-entering the password; no change.
Is this Apple's idea of forcing snow leopard folks to upgrade?
I need reliable e-mail.

Fixed. From my backup, I reinstalled mail, mail preferences, and the entire mail folder in users/mail.
Whatever the "security" update did to my mail, it's now FIXED.
I had no desire to roll back the entire update.
If future updates screw up mail again, I'll always have working backups to restore.

Installed Security Update - Breaks Terminal

G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)
I installed some OSX security updates last night. My terminal now doesn't respond to commands. e.g. ls
I think it's the path setting that got wiped out. How to I fix this in bash?

Yep, the path is screwed up.
Do you configure anything else in your .profile?
If not try this:
/bin/mv .profile profile.old
/bin/echo "export PATH=\"$PATH:/Applications/DevelopmentApps/arduino-0008/tools/avr/bin\"" > .profile
Or your .profile will have to be configured with a text editor by deleting your path entry then add this line
export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/DevelopmentApps/arduino-0008/tools/avr/bin"

Security update breaks kerberos

I use kerberos as a Fermilab user to connect by ssh. Since installing the security update today, it no longer works. Any ideas?

Turns out Fermilab uses and old version of ssh, so to
be compatible and allow kerberos you have to use the
pre update ssh (3.8) instead of 4.2, this is a kluge
but waiting for Fermilab to upgrade to 4.2 is not
much of an option either
I had the same suspect, now I've found someone else with the same problem here at Fermi. But I wasn't sure and I spent about 4 hours trying to troubleshoot ssh, lurking mailing list and forums and finally reading your message
Thanks for the hint, I'm going to downgrade ssh.

Security update zapped Finder, now I can't get to permissions

The security update has screwed up one more item in my Mac: now I can't open Finder.
I had posted two other issues (Dashboard quitting) and inability to see the Apple.
Mike and Nerowolfe had suggested that I fiddle with the permissions from within DU, but I now can't open Finder, even though Finder seems to be open, when I mouse over it on the Dock (it has the little triangle). I right click on it and suggests I hide it or relaunch (a faded "not responding" is on top).
I also lost Mail. A message says The application Mail quit unexpectedly and asks me to relaunch, ignore or report.
How am I going to get to DU without being able to open Finder?
Thanks.

Just a point. Your profile indicates you are running Tiger. Do you also have a box running Leopard or is your profile just out of date?
I assumed you were running Leopard when I posted a reply to your question.

Updated to LR 4.3 can I uninstall the 4.0

I updated from Lightroom 4.0 to 4.3. Can I uninstall the 4.0 without affecting the new 4.3 version?

On a Windows PC, installing a new LR X.something effectively uninstalls the previous X.something-less meaning that after installing LR 4.3, LR4.0 should be gone except maybe the Resources folder which may not have any files, anymore.
On a Mac this didn’t used to happen and both versions remained installed. More recently the Mac install has started to uninstall the old versions, too, to be compatible with how things work from the Apple Store, although I don’t have a Mac so can’t say if the process has changed, again, with the most recent update.
In any case, generally you can uninstall the old version if it still exists and be ok—it won’t hurt your photos or remove your catalog database, but a few people have had issues with their camera lens profiles disappearing, so if that happens after you uninstall LR 4.0, just re-install or do a repair install of LR 4.3 to put the profiles back. If you're on a Mac it also might be that you have a shortcut to the old, now uninstalled version on your dock and it won't do anything when you click on it. The solution is to create a new shortcut to the new version you've just installed.

Security Update Breaks Oracle

I have been using Oracle 10g XE for over 3 years with no problems. My IT department recently updated some security software on the computer and now Oracle doesn't work. Or at least it doesn't communicate. I can access the DB using the SQL*Plus command window, but anything that relies on a browser window is non-functional. The database homepage is browser-based, so it won't function (browser goes into permanent wait state trying to open the home page). My primary job is developing ColdFusion apps, but these won't connect either (CF traps the timeout and reports an error). I have other apps that use SQL Server, and those are not affected, so I know that IIS is actually communicating, just not with Oracle.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled 10g to no avail. I also tried installing 11g but got the same result. Most of the threads I've read on various message boards point to firewall issues. I've added firewall exceptions for ports 1521 and 8080 (and even 1066 because netsh indicates that Oracle is looking at that port). No luck. I've turned the firewall off, again with no effect.
At this point I'm out of ideas. Anyone have any suggestions?

This is not an Oracle issue. I'd recommend you talk to whoever updated systems you don't even name and tell them to fix what they broke.

HT201260 i have 10.5.6 ,i want to install java to play yahoo games ,where can i install it.thanks

how to install java to play games at yahoo

Hello, with 10.5 you're limited to what Apple offers in Software Update.
10.5.8 is the highest 10.5 can go, do so if you haven't...
Repair Permissions afterwords, reboot.
1058 Combo Update, 10.5.8...

Security Update 2007-009 breaks Rosetta?

I installed Security Update 2007-009 (10.5.1) two days ago.
Since then not a single PPC application works.
I get:
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000024.
This means that I can no longer use Office 2004 for Mac.
I am assuming that the security update breaks Rosetta since I noticed that only PPC applications are fubar.
Anyone with similar experience?

sorry but you obviously have another problem - just read your post and tried several Rosetta Apps including :
MsOffice Vx
and Corel photopaint 11 (which I deliberately chose because it has always been a touch wobbly)
Both run fine - and my machine is fully patched. So perhaps the post title could be slightly misleading - maybe it should have a question mark because in my experience it isn't a fact. It's a theory which actually turns out to have been incorrect.
One thing I do know is that rosetta is VERY memory intensive. Mine was always a bit wobbly until I put extra memory in the machine but since Leopard it has actually been a lot lot better than it was with Tiger - which is great.

Java Update Oct 2012 Yahoo games issue

I just updated Java on this MacBook Air and no longer can play online Yahoo Bridge. I can sign in to yahoo games, I can get to the bridge lounge. But if I am invited, the message is "error logging into server" and all the lounge tables listed disappear. Same if I try to "Watch" another table or "Create" a table. My partner can see me, but ne'er the twain can meet. Please help if you can..

I am soooo frustrated. I too have downloaded the Java and now I can get into dominoes and gin, but cannot get into backgammon. It lets me in, shows me the room for about a second, then goes blank with a message saying error downloading room. Can't anyone help with this? I have spent 3 days with apple support and still cannot resolve the problem.
I am having similar problems since updating Java. Yahoo backgammon--opens room briefly, closes, attempting to join game server, error logging into game server. I have no idea what to do! I have tried deleting the Java 7 update and it does nothing different. Is there an answer to this?

Cannot play yahoo games anymore on my mac- java will not update any ideas

i used to play cards on yahoo games, but can't anymore....the games won't load....any ideas? thx!

Also make sure the file type is not of a DivX. That your camera supports. Which QT for Mac also supports, but the Windows version of QT does not support DivX, so you're not purchasing something for the Windows computer that is not needed?
