Problems with recent security update

Ever since I installed the latest security update, I have had one problem after another. My software programs - Acrobat, QuarkXpress, Firefox, Photoshop - have all frozen and given me the "program not responding" message numerous times. I actually reinstalled Acrobat. Haven't used it much since, so I'm hoping it is fixed. Any suggestions? This is really frustrating.

Start by Verifying, then if necessary, repairing the Drive. Open up Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities. Select the boot Volume that is being used (in most cases it's the same as the Drive listing; it will probably be called Hard Drive or Macintosh Hard Drive. If you only have one Volume, you can select either) and Verify. Repair will be grayed out. If any errors are reported, then you will need to boot from your install disk.

  • Problems with recent software update

    Hey all,
    recently came to check on my intel iMac (leopard) if there were any software updates. Turns out that there was an update for quicktime and a security update.
    Choosing to install said that I had to restart my computer. Restarting the computer lead to a blue screen appearing with the "moving circle" in the lower part of the screen.
    This stayed for around 25 mins before the screen turned black.
    After around 10 mins, I chose to force restart the computer. It restarted as normal and it seems that the updates have installed (they are no longer in the software update list).
    I'm still a little concerned though, as I havent seen this before. Any one else had any problems running updates under leopard??
    Ross

    Thank you for your reply.  I followed your suggestion and restored my iPod to its factory settings.  I then restored it from a backup file.  All the problems have been resolved.  Quite incredible that I had to go through that process to fix it.  I hope Apple will find a solution to the iTunes problem soon. 

  • Printing Problem after recent Security Update

    I've just installed the latest Security Update for 10.5.2 and Safari 3.1 and I now cannot print from Aperture 2.0.1. Prior to the update installation everything was working perfectly in AP! Anyone else had a problem?
    Many thanks

    In many cases, simply reinstalling the Mac OS X 10.5.2 combo updater -- as mentioned above -- resolves this issue.
    Before reinstalling the combo updater, however, you should try to restart CUPS manually: Launch the Terminal (located in /Applications/Utilities) and type the following commands, pressing return after each:
    cupsdisable
    cupsenable
    Failing that, you may need to reinstall CUPS, or revert to an earlier version of the system. Various versions are available from this Web site: http://www.cups.org/software.php,. First you should use the latest file with a .dmg extension, then move to prior iterations if necessary.

  • Problems with recent system update

    All my problems started with the most recent software update. I did the most recent set of updates which required a restart. After restart, I noticed that it was taking a REALLY long time to load up, so I left it over night and came back in the morning. I thought "hmmm 10 hours, maybe it'll take 16", so I went to work. Came home, still hanging at the gray Apple startup screen. Finally, I called Apple and they told me to force shut down, unplug for 15 seconds and retry. Followed these instructions, still got the little logo. Finally the gentleman tells me to force shutdown, and reset the pram (CommandOption+PR). This REALLY screwed things up as now I am stuck at a blank screen with NO Apple logo. I have tried every keyboard shortcut imaginable, to no avail. Anybody else had this problem? "Guess you have to take it to an Apple genius" is the final response of my phone call. Well, 4 hours to the nearest Apple store isn't something I want to do. Also, considering all was well before the System Update, paying for shipping/repair is also not something that I want to swallow. Any suggestions would be great.

    OK you did a SMC reset and then seperatly did a PRAM reset. Now try doing them in this sequence and your system should start OK.
    1. Turn off your iMac and unplug everything from it for 30 seconds.
    2. Plug in the power cord, keyboard and mouse only.
    3. Press the power button and immediately hold down the Option, Command, P & R keys until you hear the second gong then release the keys. Your machine will start up normally, then check for the issues you are having.

  • Problems With Latest Security Update (September)

    I just installed the latest security update on my G5 and now I can't access many of my major applications. The warning "Application Launch Failure" appears with the following text:
    The application "entourage" could not be launced because of a shared lirary error:,.<MicrosoftEntourage><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_SpeechSynthesis>"....
    Holy Crap, what's all this? I've restarted several times and ran the disk utility application.

    Stephen
    I don't know if this MicroSoft KB article will help, but it may get you started:
    You receive a "Shared library" error message when you start Office for Mac programs
    Did you by any chance update iTunes or QuickTime, or both, recently?

  • 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...
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   1.33 GHz, 512 MB, 12-inch

    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.
    http://www.jirkacech.com/files/Tiger-problemy-screeshot.png
    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.

  • HT201250 Problem with recent Excel 2011 update

    I installed an update to Mac Excel 2011 yesterday.  It complete sucessfully but the VBA component is now missing.  All Exel files with VBA code now cannot be opened.  The following message is shown for each:
    Excel could not open xxxx.xlsm because some content is unreadable.  Do you want to open and repair this workbook?
    I attempted to use the Time Machine to restore the Excel applicatiion but it will not run because it says Excel is open when it is not.
    Has anyone had a similar problem with the latest update to Excel?

    I bought a refurb ipad 32gb. I have noticed when itunes via wifi fails to do an app update, it screws the whole ios; thereby forcing ipad to go into recovery mode. I thought Apple learned the hard way not to allow one app to bring down the whole os!! This is the 5th time an app caused this. last time Apple forced me to reinstall Itunes, wasted 2 hrs.
    I worked hard saving up enough funds to get an iPad. Yes, i even paid Applecare too. If this can be fixed, I want a replacement or a full refund.

  • There is a problem with the security certificate of the proxy server. Error code 18 and 38.

    Hi All,
    After several hours and a short night of sleep I'm out of ideas and hopefully someone here can help me trying to solve this one. First of all the situation:
    Exchange 2013 on a remote location with a CA-certificate.
    Outlook 2010 and 2013 on different locations, locally installed and on RDS.
    When I open Outlook on my laptop all is fine, no errors, good sync, no problem. But when I open Outlook on our Remote Desktop Servers with Outlook 2013 I'm getting errors like "There is a problem with the security certificate of the proxy server. The
    name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site. Outlook is unable to connect to this server. (Error code 18)". Opening Outlook 2010 the message is the same, but the error code now is 38.
    After this Outlook opens and is working, there's one more error though. After a while an security warning pops up with the message: "Information you exchange with this site cannot be viewed or changed by others. However, there is a problem with the
    site's security certificate. * The security certificate was issued by a company you have not chosen to trust. View the certificate to determine whether you want to trust the certifying authority. * The security certificate is valid. * The name on the security
    certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site."
    Strangest thing is, it is the certificate of my RDS! It isn't my valid en officially bought certificate from my mailserver. What's going on? I'm out of options, what I've tried so far (in random order):
    - restarting mailserver and AD;
    - restarting switches;
    - restarting routers;
    - restarting RDS, AD and all other servers;
    - bypassed proxyserver for RDS;
    - created a new profile;
    - checked recently installed updates;
    - checked certificate on mailserver;
    - checked RDS on a different location, working fine.
    Nothing helped, what can I do next? Please advice.
    Regards.

    Found a thread that solves half my problem (https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/70d18244-889a-4d95-ac3f-e234672a82b2/there-is-a-problem-with-the-proxy-servers-security-certificate-error-when-starting-outlook?forum=exchangesvrclients).
    The first message can be suppressed by adding this to the Exchange config:
    set-outlookprovider -Identity EXCH -CertprincipalName msstd:webmail.domain.tld
    set-outlookprovider -Identity EXPR -CertprincipalName msstd:webmail.domain.tld
    Giving the command get-outlookprovider, gives me empty information regarding the certprinipalname. Filled
    this and after recreating the profile or deleting the ost-file I still have the second alert with the local certificate of my RDS.
    Not completely where I want to be, any help regarding the second alert is greatly appreciated!

  • Recent Security Update 2014-002 Causing Finder Crash - QuartzComposer Plugin

    Hello,
    Recently updated Mavericks with the Security Update 2014-002 and now getting Finder crashes on login. Seems to relate to the QuartzComposer plugin.
    No task bar at the top of the screen, just desktop wallpaper and looping Finder crash that can't be resolved. I have the crash log, but not posted one before. Is it safe to post the whole thing online?
    Pressing the power button and forcing a restart often fixes the problem but it happening relatively frequently now on each startup and I would like to resolve this. Can't find much on the forums at the moment.
    Please help.
    Many thanks
    Sam

    Is it safe to post the whole thing online?
    Yes, but make sure there is no personal information in it, which there usually isn't.

  • Art Rage 2 crashing after recent security update :(

    3 nights ago i updated my os with the recent security update via software update. The next day when I tried to use Art Rage 2 it crashed (http://www.ambientdesign.com) . I had used it the night before. The only difference was the security upgrade that I'd made. I've put a crash report as of this morning below.
    Art Rage is an application I use regularly I hope you can help.

    Hi Bee,
    Thanks for getting back. I did put the program out and try running it and it continued to crash. The Ambient folks sent me another file which i had to put within the folder. It continues to crash.
    I dont use too many programmes, the few I use are not crashing at least none that I can recall or replicate. The gmail and wordpress.com options page making both safari and firefox crash plagued me for the longest time and was solved recently in this forum.
    I've put below another copy of the crash report.
    Thank you for continuing to work on my problem.
    Regards,
    Ujwala

  • 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
    Sven

    Hi kapteyn,

  • Cannot use emacs after the recent security update

    After the most recent security update (Feb. 2008) for OS X 10.4.11,
    I cannot use emacs anymore. The error message from the computer
    is:
    emacs: execv(/usr/bin/emacs-ppc) failed: Permission denied
    I am using Powerbook 12". Anyone can help me to solve this problem?
    Thanks,
    Jack

    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."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    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...

  • Recent security update causes internet connection to fail

    Ever since the most recent security update last week (2015-003?) my internet connection drops and won't come back until a restart.  It appears to be connected but I cannot reach the web, regardless of the browser I choose.  Any ideas?

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.
