Problems installing Windows Security Update

Is anyone else having problems getting the new 'critical'
security update from Microsoft to install? I have downloaded the
update from Microsoft's website manually by going:
HERE
When I go to install the update I get the error: 'The version
of Macromedia Flash you have installed does not match the update
you are trying to install.'
Here are the steps I have already taken:
Completely removed flash player using the uninstall utility
found on Macromedia's website.[/li]
Reinstalled the latest version (which appears to be
8.0.24.0)[/li]
I went into the c:/windows/system32/macromed/flash/ folder and
ran the UpdateFlash.exe application to ensure that I had all the
latest updates. This .exe tells me that there is an update
available, it acts like it is downloading it and installs it. When
finished it says that the new version will install when I reboot. I
reboot, run the UpdateFlash.exe app again, and the same update is
available again and again.[/li]
I am still unable to install the latest security update after
running the UpdateFlash.exe app which supposedly gives me the
latest version of flash.

I've tryed to repair permissions at least 3x, and also run update_prebindings
Problem prevails, even if I log in as other/new user, indicating that issue is system-wide not user wide.

note 'empty' icon at newly saved webarchive, as well as fact that Safari is now 2x in dock, once I newly add it (with correct icon) second time original with silly icon with document and triangles....
I am getting desperate.

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Problems after installing new security update-help?

Hi, how can I verify what I recently downloaded on my mac. I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine. I have doubts as my machine runs like **** now. Apps take forever to open, screensaver comes on when its set to never, printer won't work, etc. Also, if it was just a bad download, can I just try loading it again over the last one? First, I'd love to see what i downloaded. Thanks. In a bind. Never had this happen before. Running 10.3.9

Hi Matthew,
First of all, you should be able to check in your HD/Library/Receipts folder to see what has been installed by looking for the .pkg of it.
re: "I installed the security update from software update, and i want to make sure I downloaded something intended for my machine"
You should not be offered updates that are not intended for your System through Software Update. Software Update, as far as I know, reads the .pkg files in your Receipts folder and will offer what you need from that. (I believe that is correct....perhaps someone will correct me if I'm wrong)
Did you Repair Permissions from Disk Utility before and after the update?
If not I would try running Repair Permissions (HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions).
I've found that with Security Updates that it is very important to Repair Permissions before and after updating.

After installing the Security Update 2015-002 many system app icons have switched. How can I fix this?

I Installed the Security Update 2015-002 on March 13 on my 13-inch Macbook Pro (mid 2010) running Yosemite. However after it rebooted many of the system app icons have switched places. For instance: The delete button in finder has the icon for Full Screen (while others are just plain white). And the button for New Message in Mail now shows a search icon. Please see screengrab below.
IS there a way to fix this mess without having to manually change all this?

I have some new info on the issueI thought I'd share with you.
First of all, I've installed Photoshop CC on my SurfacePro (Windows 8) and do not have the lag issue there. It's very similar hardware to my MacBook Pro. So the issue must have something to do with my MacBook.
After a lot of tinkering I discovered that it is my 27" Thunderbolt Display that is causing the brush lag. When I unplug it and only use my built in 13" screen the brush lag is gone. Aha!
I tried every available option in the Performance section but nothing helped. Again, Photoshop CS5 with attached Thunderbolt Display doesn't have a brush lag issue.
I'd be interested to know everyone else's setup who is experiencing this problem.

Problems with latest security update

Hi there,
After I've installed latest security update via Software Update in MAC OS X some problems emerged.
First and mos visible thing .html and .htm documents on my desktop does not have safari icon anymore, they have some blank icon and doubleclick on them does not start-up Safari, why?
Second, how can I found out what else was(is) changed or modified in my system?
Third, as first aid I've run daily, weekly and monthly maintenance scripts as well as permissions repair (2x).
Does not help! I know, that running daily, weekly and
monthly and perm repair is like opening window because water tap is leaking but that was first thing I did...

Problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1

I run into problem install windows on mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13 with 10.9.1. Boot Camp Assistant shows error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.". So what is the problem and how can I work around it? I also tried to only chose "Install Windows 7" option, but it could not recognize my windows dvd (which I created from ISO). Any help is appreciated.

Installed todays security update, computer will not boot, down

I installed todays security update. now my G3 600mhz 14" iBook, running 10.3.9, will not boot.
I have had several symptoms throughout the day. A couple of times it sat there for about an hour with a blank screen. It came up several times with the message to type "mac-boot" ( I may be remembering the syntax wrong) I tried that, I also tried typing "shut-down" at that point.
Later it came up to my background screen bout would do nothing and go no further. Now it is siting there with a OS 9 folder icon in the middle of the screen and sometimes the icon alternates between a face and a question mark in the middle of the icon.

Robert,
I sympathize with your plight. I had a similar problem with my G4 AGP (Sawtooth). Like a dummy, I installed Security Update 2006-004. Upon reading posts about Apple updates on this board, it seem that the knlowledgeable ones wait until the unsuspecting ones walk on the landmines that Apple builds into the upgrades before trying it themselves.
I had exactly the same problems that you describe. Since I believe that my G4 has an extended warrantee, I called Apple Phone Support. The gentleman after listining to my plight, told me that he could not help me because my Mac was a "VINTAGE" model, no longer supported by Apple. How is that for an answer. I guess that now that Apple switched to Intel, all Motorola chips become "persona non-grata".
Anyway, I remember that something like this happened to me some years back with another "upgrade". I believe that basically, the problem is due to the fact that Apple does not make provisions for third party products installed in a Mac. Last time, it was the video card (ATI) that had to be removed in order for the upgrade to work. This time, I had to remove my 2 GHz. Giga Design CPU and put back the measly 400 MHz. Apple CPU. Then I was able to boot normally. I then re-installed the Giga drivers and everything went back to normal. Since I am getting old, and it is recommended for persons of my age to engage in mental exercises, I believe Apple is trying to help me by having my brain work overtime (not to mention the 5 terror-filled hours I spent to resolve the problem.
I suspect the update writes to or resets your PRAM or other non-volatile memory. Does your G3 iBook have any non-Apple components? If so, I suggest you remove it or them. Beyond that, I cannot help you, except to suggest that you reset the PRAM.
I now have transferred most of my data to a fast, trouble-free (relatively) PC. Since in the future, all Macs with have Intel chips, there will be no reason for me, after about 30+ "vintage" years to buy Apple. Of course, just as Apple touts that its OS can run on a PC, PC owners will (are already) running Mac OS on their PC.

BIP Desktop - windows security update issue

Hi Wizards,
My PC has automatically installed Windows 7 security updates yesterday. As a result, the BI Publisher Add-In has disappeared from the ribbon in Word (it is fine in Excel though). A similar situation happened in August, where BIP did not work correctly due to another update.
I have already removed and re-installed BIP Desktop (11.1.1.5.0) with no success at the end.
I urgently need the fix, could someone point me to the right place in this forum or somewhere else, please?
Thank you, Peter Subert

Try following the steps detailed in:

Problems installing Windows 7 on new iMac?

I've heard from users on other forums that there are some problems installing Windows 7 on the new iMacs, mainly that the display goes blank partway through installation due to some kind of driver issue. Can anyone confirm this or elaborate? I've heard there is a workaround but it sounds a bit complicated and I'm wondering if I should just wait until Apple patches Boot Camp with full Win7 support.

I would wait until Apple updates Boot Camp to officially support Windows 7.

AFP Connection Problems after Server Security Update 2009-006

After installing the Security Update 2009-006 on the Server, we have Problems to mount Shares from two differnt AFP-Servers on the Client.
The Client and the Server have a binding to AD.
The Client can connect to Server1 via AFP.
But after this, the connection to Server2 shows the Volumen List from Server1!
Same Problem when the first Connection mounts Server2 and then Server1.
I tried the second connect with DNS-Name and IP-Adress.
There is no Problem when i am useing SMB.
Have anyone a Idea or the same Problem?
Thanks

Kernel panics after install of Security Update 2006-007

I also installed the security update, had a kernel panic when the install was 60% through the optimization. Tried to reboot and now only get the Apple logo screen which then goes to the following command lines:
init: can't exec /bin/sh for single user: Exec format error
init: can't exec /bin/sh for singer user: Exec format error
init: can't exec /bin/sh for /etc/rc: Exec format error
I booted from the OSX 10.3 disk, ran disk repair which found no problems. Tried repair disk permissions which hung up 1/3 the way through saying "Disk Utility has lost its connection with the Disk Management Tool and cannot continue."
I tried to reinstall 10.3 but get the message I cannot install on my hard drive since it says it could not find an earlier version of OS X (I had since updated to 10.3.9). I have about 3 months of photos in iPhoto I haven't backed up (my bad)and would rather not reformat and reinstall the entire operating system. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hi Larry
First off, Dr. Smoke has some good advice regarding kernel panics here:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
but It could be that your system is screwed at a fundamental level. If you can't do an archive and install from your system CD, then your HD may need formatting as a last resort. Do you have 2 macs, or a mate with a mac book? If so, you can connect them up using a firewire cable, and start you mac holding down the 'T' key to restart your mac in target disk mode. You'll see the firewire icon on your screen when it starts, and the other mac will get your HD pop up on it's desktop.
This gives you the ability to remove the data files you need (like all your photos) BEFORE formatting your HD.

You have run into Activation Lock, which is a new security feature in iOS 7. You
need the AppleID and passcode used to originally activate the iPad. Either ask
the seller to unlock the iPad or return it for a refund. There is no workaround
for Activation Lock.

Problems since last security update (macbook pro)

Hi,
I ran the security update. Since then I got the following problems:
- wont wake up after sleep, only pushing the start button for a few secs will restart the system.
- mail crashes, by now and then
please any clues.
Tineke

Odd that you're running 10.4.2 and you installed the security update. Did you manually install it or was it installed using Software Update? Are you running 10.4.2 or 10.4.8? If you are running 10.4.8 try downloading the combo updater and run that. Do repair permissions before and after.

Having problems installing Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro w/Boot Camp

Having a problem installing Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit) on my Macbook Pro (mid-2010) 13". I use the Boot Camp Assistant, download the necessary drivers and burn them to a disc. I insert my legit Windows 7 install disc, and the process begins but once I get to 'Completing installation', my mac freezes and I have to restart it and delete the partition. This has happened twice. I have contacted Apple and Microsoft and neither of them said that they could help me with the problem so if someone has had a similar issue and found a solution to it, I would really appreciate the help.

Hi S,
You may want to post in the Boot Camp forum where more of those experts hang out: https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
