Please help! Security update disaster!

Hello,
I have read about the security update doing some ill things to peoples macs with their networks and such but mine seems a little stranger.
After updating to the most recent security update, my mac restarted and had a "aqua" screen for almost 30 mins. With nothing else on the screen, i grew inpatient and restarted by pushing the power button for a few seconds. It restarted to an all black screen saying something about 'darwin kernel'. it asked for a login and password, but in an all black screen (think DOS). after trying different incorrect attempts it restarted and now I have to log in as fast as I can because the login screen only stays up for a few seconds before it dissapears. After I log in, the log in screen never goes away it constantly states that it is still logging in. The login screen is on top of everything and won't go away and cannot be covered.
Everytime I restart I am asked to enter a password to get back on my wireless network. Also, my disk utility does not start up. it tries but it unexpectedly quits. I get a crash report that says ( exception: EXCBADACCESS (0X0001) CODES: KERNPROTECTIOINFAILURE (0X0002) AT 0X0000001c
it seems like the rest of my programs work and my info is still here.
someone please help.

Hi Joseph
The best thing would be to run Repair Disk from your Install Disk.
The startup drive can only be repaired from another drive. Simply loading the install disk is not sufficient. You have to boot from the install disk.
To do this: Insert the Install Disk 1 into the drive and then select Restart, then continue to hold down the C key until the Apple logo appears.
This will take you to the installation software, but you do not want to install.
Select your language, then go up to the top menu bar to Utilities and navigate to the Disk Utilities application.
Select the start up drive, then follow the instructions in the First Aid pane where you can click on Repair Disk.
If it finds errors, repeat the process until it reports no errors.
After these repairs, quit the application, and restart normally.
Once restarted normally run Repair Permissions. from the Disk Utility application found on your hard drive in Application/Utilities.
regards roam

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore, please help, I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!

The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Help please: Combo Security Update 2008-004 Ver.1 and Safari 3.1.2 update

hi, same issues as everyone else after downloading Combo Security Update 2008-004 Ver.1 and Safari 3.1.2 update, just hanging on blue "loading mac osx", no password screen comes up. i did not have an error like some others when downloading except at the end when it said my startup memory was low, i closed that screen and tried to reboot. that's where i meet everyone else's problem.
I DO NOT HAVE A TIGER START-UP DISK. (i bought my mac a year ago on ebay and the software was installed.
i need help from beginning to end because i am not very mac saavy. thank you. ~laura

The next step would be using the Install Disk to either change the Passwords, or do an Archive & Install if you had enough free space, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc...

But it looks like we'll have to take a chance on this, applesetupdone...

"OK, restart your computer, hold down Command-s and type in the following:
/sbin/fsck -y Enter
/sbin/mount -uaw Enter
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone Enter
1. The rm command is the remove command which deletes the file.
2. Robert: I'd rename the file via: mv /var/db/.applesetupdone /var/db/.applesetupdone.old
reboot Enter
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

If we ever get it booted, we just Must Trash/move some files and empty the Trash!

I currently have Mac OS X 10.5.8 and when I click on Software update, it says there are not updates available. I need version 10.6 but do not know what to do. Please help
Thanks!

Hi tmhmql,
You have all the updates you're going to get with OS X 10.5.
OS X 10.6 is an upgrade, not an update. The subtle difference means you have to buy it: call 800-MY-APPLE in the US.

Please help with update for ios 8.1.3

Some one PLEASE HELP ME!!! I just updated my I phone 4s to ios 8.1.3 it was taking a long time then they finally updated and had the Hello screen after that I saw my photos then they would just delete it right in front of me I also lost some of my contacts but my notes still here can someone please help me find my photos are very important to me they have pictures of my relatives who passed away please help!!!

After 4+ months of dealing with this data usage and battery drain problem that included 3 data captures of my wife's iMac, the trigger for us regarding the problems syncing with iCloud, and 5 hours of logs off my iPhone 6 to be analyzed by Apple engineers that included times my wife's computer was both on and off to demonstrate the difference in data usage and battery drain under those conditions, I can say with very reasonable certainty that the iOS 8.3 and corresponding Mac OS 10.10.3 update has solved the problem.
We have now been running for about 2 weeks and data usage with the iCloud Servers attempting to sync has dropped from a rate of 31 GBs to under 15 MBs per month. Yes, you read it right. We were burning 2000 times as much data doing absolutely nothing important on both of our phones, a 5s and a 6. Just imagine what that does to battery life! The 5s would last about 5 hours and the 6 was dead in less than 14.
The distasteful aspect of this process was how the engineers were quietly fixing the problem at the same time sending messages to my contact person within Apple that were dismissive in nature in the face of indisputable unreasonable results. I must say, this experience with the multiple times the engineers' responses were inappropriate put a little tarnish on the old Apple shine of the ‘It just works’ mantra. This was my first experience in 34 years that caused me to stop recommending Apple products without reservations and with a disclaimer.
Since the update solved the problem, then I can only conclude that there was a logic bug regarding the reaction within the process to the incoming data that was corrected. There was noting short of logging out of iCloud that circumvented the problem for us, Gator5000e and probably many others noted on other threads. I am not trying to imply that this is the cause of everyones battery use problem, but it is reasonable that it was a cause for many.

Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes, sync and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

Please Help - LR update wipes out my catalog.

This seems an uncommon problem as I haven't found any other posts on it, but I'm having the issue that LR updates wipe out my catalog?! I've had LR4 for a couple years now. When the 4.4 update first came along awhile back, I accepted the download, and when I did so, to my horror my entire catalog was wiped out. I did a restore point (thus undoing the update) hoping that would restore the catalog, but it did not. I of course still had all of the files and side cars on my hard drive, but had to re-launch my most recent back up which had been a few weeks previous (I know, I know), and lost the history on the work I'd done on images after that.
Just now, when I launched LR, the update notice appeared. I did not accept the update as I felt is was a risk, and instead closed the box. Even so, my catalog was wiped out AGAIN.
My last back up was less than a week ago, but I'd done a lot of work on some images since then. While I know I can re-import the images themselves, I do not know if -- or HOW - I can re-import the side cars with the editing history (which I can see on my hard drive) back into Lightroom?!! Please help if you can. Thanks so much in advance.

Jim, appreciate the reply. What I did after this happened was go to my most recent back up which was five days earlier, and I launched that. I then re-imported the files that had been imported post back up, some of which had been edited. As I'd replied to dj paige, the edits I'd done post-back up were there on the re-imported images, however unfortunately the history on them has been wiped out - or at least it no longer shows up in the catalog. But If I'm understanding you, I should have been able to locate the catalog as it was just before the update? Because I did not see a catalog more recent than what was in the back up folder and dated Sept 1st. Obviously I don't have a clear understanding of how this all works, so will have to do some studying up.
Thanks again.

Please help -installed update from itunes wiped my phone

I just installed an update on itunes and it must have done some sort of factory reset as it wiped everything including my contacts from my phone. I plugged it in again to see if it could install a back up and I can't find anything. Also, it started 'backing up' the new empty phone and asked me to register it.
Please help anyone- I had a lot of music and expensive aps on there not to mention contacts and diary entries. I never had problems with it before but this is an absolute nightmare.
Many thanks

Am really annoyed now- by the number of people viewing this thread this is clearly a big problem and yet nobody at Apple has bothered to help. I would much rather pick up the phone and speak to someone but can't because it's been 90 days since my purchase.
I have spent a lot of money on music and aps and it looks like Apple don't even care- it's a disgrace. I can now see what all the fuss is about in the media and why people are angry at them as well. I won't be buying any of their products again that's for sure.

Please Help Me Update!

I have an 32 GB iPod touch, and I am trying to update to ios 6. I currently have 5.1.1. (9B206). The information inscribed on the back says it is Model # A1367. Under General Settings, it says the capacity is 28.5 GB and have 23.2 GB available. When I try and download and install the update it says that it failed. It doesn't give me any error number or any other information. I have tried updating directly from the iPod and from iTunes, and neither works. Can someone please help me?!

Try a manual install using the instructions here:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Disable the computer's firewall and antivirus during the download and update.
