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.

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)....

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.

Problems with windows update and fingerprint

HI
My windows was out of date and in the coarse of trying to update it, the system runned into a problem and the only way i could get back my information was to let the system settings go back to its default settings. Following that, i find it difficult to download new updates and the fingerprint is also not working any more. Please what should i do ?

Hi @CLEPRIS ,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome.It is a great site for information and questions. I have looked into your issue about your HP-ENVY m6 Notebook and issues with Windows Updates and the Fingerprint reader software. Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers that might need updating on your system.
It shows me that there seems to be interference with Software task, usually your virus protection.
You might have to disable this software and then run the Windows update.
I would suggest to uninstall HP SimplePass and reinstalled the latest version for Windows 8.1.
I would be happy to assist if needed. How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number?
I hope this fixes things up for you.
Thanks.

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.

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.

Issue with Software updates and Magic Mouse installs

Having the same problem with Magic Mouse install as the Airport Utility Update
My machine: Mac os x; 10.5.8
My Problem: Got Magic Mouse for Xmas. Prior to getting download for Magic Mouse I checked for any software updates. It called for Airport Utility 5.4.2 and MacBook EFI Firmware 1.4. I ran the software update for each, started the install and received the message:
*The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.*
(When I hit OK; or what ever it asked me to do the window closed and then the Software Update window showed w/ the message:
An error occurred during installation) -Duh
This is a shared machine... I am not the administrator so I went over to the ‘administrator side’ and tried to install the update software.
It installed the EFI Firmware 1.4
It DID NOT install the Airport Utility upgrade. It gave the same message:
*The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.*
I then tried to download the Magic Mouse Download. Went to apple.com for download:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/firmware_hardware/wirelessmousesoftw areupdate10forleopard.html
I got the download, then ran the install guide:
Intro/readme/license/destination select / installation type/installation
got to about 87% installed... and got the message:
Install Failed (yellow triangle):
The source media you are installing from is damaged. Try installing from a different copy of the source media or contact the manufacturer for a replacement.
What now?
I don’t understand how the source media can be damaged... it comes right off the apple site. Is there something on my end and if so WHAT?
Any help/direction appreciated.
Karen

I don't have a right arrow key issue but I do have a problem where the center wheel click option gets completely lost. I have hit set to use Expose all windows.
Well, I'll be going around just fine...the I notice I loose center wheel click. If I try and change center wheel click in System Center, then I'm really screwed. Then any thing I left click becomes selected and I have to drag it all of the place.. no way to release. I'll disconnect the usb receiver for the mouse.... a Logitech wireless laser mouse, MX 620.
I never had a problem until the Jan update, then the latest this week seems to have made it even worse.

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.

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.

The problem? It's actually pretty simple: Microsoft implemented their mail processing in a way that has greatly assisted folks using Microsoft products and Microsoft platforms, and established an "export" mechanism when communicating via mail in heterogeneous computing environments. Microsoft tools including Microsoft Exchange Server and their systems running Microsoft Windows are a good and very capable mail environment system, with great scale and very well integrated mail, calendar and related processing, and some exceedingly useful tools including SharePoint that have no real analog with OS X, Unix or Linux systems. But these tools don't necessarily interoperate entirely nicely in heterogeneous environments; with non-Microsoft tools and platforms.
The winmail.dat mechanism is a part of the whole Microsoft infrastructure, and particularly when the information is being "exported" out from the Microsoft environment, and into a non-Windows and non-Exchange environment. The determinate here involves the settings chosen by the various senders. (Possibly also by the defaults chosen by the administrator of the Exchange Server(s) involved, but I haven't checked that.)
Here's the Microsoft knowledge base article that describes the specificss of the winmail.dat file.
There are tools around to read the TNEF-format winmail.dat files on OS X and other platforms, including TNEF's enough for OS X, and likely various other tools. Or get your senders to reconfigure their settings for you when they're sending messages to you, as described in the Microsoft KB article.

Problem with software update and restore section in iTunes

Recently i have had this problem with iTunes. I cannot check for updates or restore. These sections have been greyed out. I have tried everything. Rebooted my device, reinstalled iTunes, downgrade iTunes, i have tried it on other computers. Nothing seems to work. Please help me out here.

For this me workied perfect, hope you get yours updated properly too! I just noticed this: http://discussions.europe.nokia.com/discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&message.id=451 Maybe it's good idea to post your product code here and retry in few days?

Monitor problems with Mac Pro and Leopard

I can't turn energy saver off.I have two LCD monitors connected, one 19" Viewsonic VX924 and one 30" Dell3007WFPHC . I set energy saver:Put the display(s) to sleep when computer is inactive for Never.
Yet I can turn the monitors off and back on later and it's put the Viewsonic to sleep ,but not the Dell.
I then open the energy saver system preferences again and low and behold it's changed itself back to sleep at 26 minutes.Ghost in the machine?Why doesn't it put the Dell to sleep as well?????Why does it keep changing back to 26 minutes regardless of how many times I set it to never and lock it?
I even tried just using the Viewsonic only and setting to never,I also trashed a pref file I thought was energy saver , still same behavior, this is a REALLY big hassle ,because I have to restart every time just to get this monitor back up.
Any clues?
Many thanks!
Hayes
Memphis,Tn.

I think there are some powermanagement prefs in your account and in /Library but I also read of problems with ViewSonic VX back when the Mac Pro came out in 9/06.
I would give the SMC button a good 'kick' and see if that helps.
And when you restart, this is normal safe restart, or forced?
SMC button, this is restart button on the inside of the mac?
It's always a safe restart,the whole computer doesn't go down, it's just the viewsonic power light blinks on and off and there is not much I can do to get back up quickly, but restart. I have played with display settings and got it back before, but that's hit or miss and very time consuming.
Thanks you so so much for your help and suggestions!
