Problems with Security Update 2009-005

I attempted to install this security update on my iBook G4 but got an error message towards the end of the process stating that it had not fully installed. Since then my dock has disappeared so I can only access applications through Go in Finder, the computer wont shut down or restart, Safari opens with an error message -600, it does not recognise my camera so I cant download photos and About this Mac doesnt work. How can I fix this? Can anyone help? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions (under less than auspicious circumstances, alas). To save me an incredible amount of typing I will refer you to a previous post on this topic: [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10206386#10206386]. You should also browse the last few day's topics in this forum for similar issues. As you will see from my post, there's a range of possible cures from simply booting in Safe Mode and rebooting normally, to having to re-install your operating system.

Bootcamp issue with Security Update 2014-005.

My MacBook Pro with Bootcamp won't boot in Windows 8.1 mode after the recent Security Update 2014-005. Any suggestions on how to diagnose and repair the startup.
I am using a MacBook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2012) with a 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 with a Macintosh HD.

ClamAV and DNS Failure with Security Update 2010-005

Hey everyone, got a bit of an issue.
I'm running Leopard Server 10.5.8 and I've noticed a very odd issue with the latest security update, (2010-005).
Since the update, whenever ClamAV goes out to check for new definitions and database updates, all of my DNS clients lose connection during the few minutes that it's working. I've verified this by watching the logs as the updates happen. Everything is fine, and the second that ClamAV starts running, DNS fails on all the clients, then starts again after the update process.
Anyone else notice this? And more importantly, how should I go about disabling ClamAV, since I don't run a mail server off this particular server.
Thanks!

The System Info below your post indicates that you are running OS X 10.5.8. The FaceTime Beta requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.4.

Any Problems With Security Update 2006-002

Hi a few weeks ago I updated my PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.3.9 to Apple Security Update 2006-001 and instantly my Dock Meny dissappeared after installation and Safari broke. My Dock Menu returned after installation but Safari remained broken.
In the end I simply reinstalled Mac OS X Panther from scratch, recreated my user account and copied my data (I had it saved) back to my Mac.
I don't want to run the risk of something like this happening again. I do not have Apple Security Update 2006-001 installed at this time but I do have Apple Security Updates from 2005 installed and 10.3.9 on my system.
If I install Apple Security Update 2006-002 on my Mac (will be updating from 2005 security updates) - not updating 2006-001 to 2006-002 but installing first 2006 Security Update for the first time could I run into any problems?
Want to hear from other users who have installed this update - have updated from 2006-001 and preferrably anyone who is installing this update directly (not over 2006-001) before updating myself.

Ive got some serious problems with 2006-001 (and they wernt cured by installing 2006-002).
Photoshop and flash mx stopped working and I am unable to reinstall either!
Ive deleted all prefs, caches, everything associated with these apps.
Ive tried installing different versions of both apps - but to no avail.
Ive repaired disk permissions (even in single user mode) - and while that did straighten out a few incorrect permissions and uid's it did'nt fix my problems.
Totally at the end of my tether now, and getting impatient with Apple - this is my livelyhood and I cant afford to have downtime!
The "broken webkit" fiasco at the back end of last year was bad enough, but this just takes the p*!
Not happy - but hopeful that someone has a fix (preferably one that doesn't involve archive and restore)....

Problems with Security Update 2006-002

Hi there,
I have problems with latest security update. I do not know what went wrong, but after installing "Security Update 2006-002 (PowerPC)" (1.0) on 2006-03-14 15:52:40 +0100: with Software Update from Tiger, my desktop (and probably not only desktop) is damaged.
The most visible thing is that all .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?
See here on the screenshot: http://www.jirkacech.com/files/Tiger-problemy-screeshot.png
note blank "apple - start.webarchive" also the Safari itself have somehow damaged icon, to same blank thing with triangle, possibly some 'generic app' or 'default.app' icon. It sits in the dock on 5th from left...(dont worry about real safari icon, that's newly added by me)
Also, on, second screenshot, http://www.jirkacech.com/files/Tiger-problemy-2.png you see that safari itself have some strange icon.
I am getting crazy, since I do not know what else is broken by last update.
I have tryed to repair permissions at least 3x, and also run update_prebindings and reboot, delete all system and user caches, and reboot.
Whole issue is system-wide, not only for one user.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1.33 GHz, 512 MB, 12-inch

The first thing you can try, if this is limited only to Safari icons, is to select on such icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select Safari from the dropdown menu as the default app. Then click on the Change All button.
If this doesn't resolve the problem or if the problem extends to other appicons as well, then you may have some disk corruption resulting from not repairing the hard drive and permissions before doing the update. I suggest you do that:
Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Problem with Security update 1.0

Hi-
I just installed the security update and I am having the same problem as outlined by another post shown below.
I tried to click to the fix but a blank page is all that opens up. Would it be possible to repost the fix for this?
Thanks!!
... I installed a security update. Now whatever program I am working in, even if I am just viewing a finder window, every two minutes, my screen jumps to the desktop. I have to click back on the program or what I am doing (such as typing this question) and then continue. This is so annoying. What can I do to uninstall this update or fix the problem
I believe your fix is here 0">http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1873700&tstart=0"

That wasn't a Security Update problem but an incompatibility between third party plugins and Quicktime update.
Check for incompatible third party applications.

HT1222 Has Apple acknowledged the problems with Security Update 2012-001?

I've read a multitude of user forum comments about this update breaking user software, but have not found a single comment by an Apple representative.

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

Problem with Security Update 2006-002

I have downloaded and installed the latest security update (2006-002) on my iBook running 10.3.9. As a result apparently all my Keychain related functionality is gone: Keychain Access blocks forever trying to display the password of an entry, and, more annoying, all possibility of connecting to my WiFi network (WEP key) is also gone.
I recreated a default Keychain, and tried to log on to the wifi network: the password dialog blocks forever here too.
I tried to track down what are the components changed by 2006-002, and the list is really long (I'm lost in there). The only indice I have about the problem is my Library/<myusername>/console.log where I have entries of the type:
Keychain Agent [318] NSKeychain is now obsolete!
Keychain Agent [318] NSKeychainItem is now obsolete!
Keychain Agent [318] NSKeychainSearch is now obsolete!
I suspect some libraries have been changed by the update but my keychain software hasn't.
Does anybody knows of a workaround? I'll backup and reformat/reinstall 10.3 tomorrow (after buying a pack of CDRs) but I'm rather annoyed to have to spend one or two days downloading and reinstalling all the software I need.

Thierry,
Great!
A lot of individuals (myself included) believe that repairing permissions before and after an update will keep problems from ocurring.
Glad it worked for you!
Bob

Any problems with security update?

I don't see any posts about the security updates now available through Software Update. I'm in the middle of a critical project, and was wondering if anybody had any warnings or tips based on their experience.
I know the usual stuff--permissions, backup, etc.
Tx!

I would recommend against it right now, unless it addresses something specifically causing you a problem. I haven't seen anything reported and I haven't had anything act up myself. But a good rule of thumb is never do any upgrades in the middle of a critical project or just before a big deadline. It just doesn't pay to tempt Murphy.

Problems with Security Update and Leopard Re-Installation

I downloaded the new software update onto my Powerbook. When I restarted my computer, it got stuck at the loading screen. I did an Archive and Install and reverted back to Panther. Now I am trying to re-install Leopard, but the download will not start (it just says "calculating" but nothing happens). I think the security update messed up my system and I want to know what I should do.

I presume you were not using TimeMachine.

What "download" are you referring to? A Leopard update? Which one.

More problems with security update 2007-008 for 10.3.9 not solved by reboot

I did this update and now even though airport says it's connected to my network safari will not connect to the internet. Also, internet connect and the keychain application both go to "application not responding". Any help is appreciated. Can I uninstall it?

Okay, so it was keychain that was the problem... it needed access but it took like 5-6 restarts to get the program to ask for permission, weird...
Also, sorry for topping other post as it does now seem that it was the same problem after all.

Multiple Errors - G5 Quad/Mac OSX 10.5.8 - After Security Update 2009-006

I'm using a PPC G5 Quad, and after I installed Security Update 2009-006, I began having problems even being able to open project files Final Cut Pro 6. So I had to force quit FCP6, but even that wouldn't close the application.
I figured the issue was probably just with the application, so I manually powered down the computer and only wound up getting two blank blue screens on my monitors when I powered back up.
Powered down again, disconnected power cord for 2 minutes, then powered back up.
Attempted to open FCP6, didn't work, wouldn't quit using "Force Quit."
Opened Motion 3 to create a new project outside of FCP6 - when I selected "Save Project As" the application became unresponsive. Would not quit even when I selected "Force Quit."
To test if there was an issue with other applications besides Final Cut Studio 2, I opened Pages and tried selecting "File->Open." This made the application unresponsive, and would not quit with "Force Quit."
I repeated this test with:
QuickTime Player
Adobe Photoshop CS
Preview
Microsoft Word
Safari
ALL of these applications became unresponsive when I tried using the command "File->Open"
I then decided to try installing Security Update 2009-005 to see if that would help.
Because Safari was locked, I downloaded Security Update 2009-005 using Firefox, then re-downloaded Security Update 2009-006.
After downloading both security updates, I manually powered down the computer, disconnected the power cord for 2 minutes, then re-powered on the computer.
I immediately installed Security Update 2009-005 and restarted the computer.
Once it restarted, I opened up Pages and was successfully able to use the command "File->Open" to open both templates and previously created files.
I then opened FCP6 with no issues, and successfully opened and re-saved an existing project file.
I then re-installed Security Update 2009-006, and re-started the computer according to its prompts.
At first, it appeared that the issues were resolved. I opened Pages and was able to use the command "File->Open" to open an existing template.
I then quit Pages and attempted to open a new Finder window. Immediately I got a spinning rainbow ball and got the message on my screen "System Failure" etc etc, and the last line read something about "Panic" or "System Panic - we're holding here..." or something to that effect. Quite strange.
I'm now in the process of attempting to repair disk permissions using Disk Utility. The permissions that seem to be out of order are with:
private/var/log/secure.log (what and where is this???)
System/Library/CoreServices/Airport Base Station Agent.app/Contents/CodeResources"
various Airport Utilities
Various FrontRow
Various backrow
Several places I don't recognize such as usr/bin and usr/sbin
And internet plugins related to FlashPlayer

How full is the hard drive?

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.

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

Security update 2007-005 and Imovie problem

Yesterday my macbook automatically installed security update 2007-005. I later opened Imovie HD 6 and found a problem - when opening, the program title etc was shown in the desktop menu but then the last movie I worked on started to open, putting the opening picture directly onto the top left of the desktop over everything else including the menu. The Imovie page then opened on top of this, with a blank Imovie screen. To get the movie into the screen I have to start the movie running. Imovie then seems to work OK but this leaves fragments of the first screenshot of the movie still on the desktop until overwritten by other programs or actions. What can I do about it?

Hi
Can you tell people how you cured the problem, so that those who search looking for answers to a similar problem know how to fix it?

I haven't got a problem myself, BTW)
