Rosetta crashes after Security Update 2006-003

The other day I installed Security Update 2006-003, and now a number of PowerPC applications crash the machine.
It's a funny crash, the mouse keeps moving and the capslock key goes on and off, but that's it. Nothing on the screen animates or updates. Windows will not move, dock does not do anything. cannot force quit or command-tab. The only option is to do a hard reset or hard shutdown.
I found this article:

I hope it's fixed soon!

Hello!
I'm glad I found your post -- a brand new Intel Core Duo 20" iMac is doing the same for me after Security Update 2006-003.
What I've found on this end so far is that Norton AntiVirus 10 for Macintosh seems to aggravate the problem. I had a system that was running fine (complete with NAV10) before applying the 2006-003 update. At first I thought the problem might be due to user error--maybe NAV wasn't quite ready for Intel Macs, but Symantec says it is after you get version 10.1 from LiveUpdate. (I did.)
I finally had to erase the hard drive and reinstall the entire operating system from the provided restore discs. After I did that and got the latest software updates, I tried again with NAV. It still caused the same problem...a complete lockup.
The first time around, only NAV seemed to cause problems. Other PowerPC-native programs running in Rosetta seemed to be OK. This second time around any PowerPC-native app running in Rosetta (after the install of NAV10) would lock the machine up completely, except for the mouse pointer. (I have also noticed that the machine still responds to being pinged over the network, and that Apple Remote Desktop 3 says it is online. So the crash isn't stopping everything from working.)
So my conclusion is that there is something seriously wrong with Security Update 2006-003 and Rosetta, and it may be made worse by NAV10 for Macintosh. In any case, I'm going to steer clear of this update for now.

PPC-iMac: Black screen on restart after Security Update 2006-003

Did the Security Update 2006-003 this morning. On restart the screen is showing the grey Apple-logo for several seconds. Then it goes black, with the prompt in the upper left corner: "localhost/root:" Vent running in high gear. Entering unix-commands is possible, but no graphic interface coming up. How to fix this? Don't want to reinstall the whole system.
iMac G5 20" PowerPC iSight Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I'm having basically the same problem with my PowerBook 1Ghz Aluminum 17". After running the latest security update and latest iLife patches using SU, my system boots to the local Darwin consol login. I can see my HD and all it's files, but I can't get the machine to boot back into GUI mode. Safe mode doesn't work.
This was a newly refreshed system running 10.4.6 and ONLY iLife installed - nothing funky and no 3rd-party apps other than those pre-installed in 10.4.x.
I've booted with the 10.4 DVD, repaired permissions (again) and repaired the drive (reported not needed). Zapping the PRAM doesn't help.
Perhaps I have a lemon because I have had problems with this machine in the past, but only when installing major system updates between 10.3-10.4 with non-apple RAM. I don't think this is the culprit this time as the machine has been functioning fine since the last fresh 10.4 install (with some OWC RAM).
Any ideas? Anyone have tips for what can be done in the console to repair the system?

Address Book & Mail crash after Security Update 2006 002 1.1

hello,
I recently installed Security Update 2006 002 v1.1 on my iBook G4 and since then Address Book has crashed on launch (also when launching from the Dashboard and from within Mail), and Mail now crashes when pasting text into a new message. I tried repairing permissions with Disk Utility and checking the locations of the apps. So far, nothing's helped.
I've read similar problems on the discussions but haven't found any solutions. If I've missed something, please pass me a link - if not, any ideas?
thank you

Scott:
The best way to preserve your data, preferences and settings it to do an Archive and Install. When you use that method the installer places your User Folder with the data etc. in a Previous Systems Folder and you retrieve them following the installation. Of course, before any major operation like that it is wise to backup those things, anyway, just in case something goes wrong.
Here are some suggestions on installation:
Tiger: Archive and Install (with a Clean Install Option)
If you have the Full Retail Version of Tiger (computer specific disks for your computer) here is what you do.
1. Warning: Although we will use Archive and Install there is always a risk something can go wrong. As a precaution back up your User Folder and any third party applications you can't afford to lose.
2. Check to see if you have the latest Firmware Update. Note: You must be in OS 9 to update firmware
3. Boot from the install disk holding down the C key.
4. Once booted go to the Utilities Menu and open Disk Utility.
To do a clean install see Notes below
5. Run Repair Disk. If there are problems, run it until no problems are reported. If it reports that it can't repair the problems you might need TechTool Pro or Disk Warrior.
6. While still in Disk Utility run Repair Permissions.
7. Quit Disk Utility and open the Installer.
8. Choose the option to Archive and Install. This saves your data in a Previous Systems folder, which you can retrieve after installation.
9. You might want to Customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations and Additional Printer Drivers to save Hard Drive space.
10. Proceed with installation.
11. After installation is complete computer will restart. Follow prompts and set up computer.
12. Open Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility) and Repair Permissions.
13. Go online and download updates, or go to Software Update under the Apple Menu and update your OS.
14. Transfer your User Folder from Previous Systems folder.
NOTE (below):
To do a clean install:
Follow steps 1 through 4 above.
a. In Disk Utility select your HD in left panel and Erase in main panel.
b. Be sure Volume Format is Mac OS Extended and the checkbox Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed is checked.
c. Select Options at bottom left in Erase panel. WARNING! This procedure will erase the contents of your entire HDD. Be sure you back up anything you cannot afford to lose!
Select option to zero all data. Click OK. Click Erase.
This process will take a while, so this is a good time to take a long walk or call your mother
d. After HDD is erased resume at No. 7 above.
Post back with any questions or comments.
Good luck.

Mac CRASHES on restart after Security Update 2006-003 and QuickTime

[ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; Please start a new topic about your technical issue. ]
i've just done TODAY's software update... and now when i boot up in to OS X, it is fine for about 10 seconds, until my Window Partition mounts, and the whole system freezes... does anyone else have this problem...
[ Edited by Apple Discussions Moderator; retitled ]

Similar problem here. I installed the latest security update via software update. It rebooted twice and then the Aqua "starting Mac OS X" splash screen appears, the progress bar jumps to 100% very quickly and then the system goes into what looks like sleep mode (the power buttons dim like when it's asleep). It won't wake up after that or restart by holding the power button. Have to unplug it!
At first, I tried a couple times using the OPT key to try and boot from another disk and it ignored it and went to sleep as above. Then, I tried using the SHIFT key to try and boot into safe mode and the screen stayed black and it didn't seem to be doing anything. After that, I tried OPT again and it booted successfully. Now it seems to be booting normally again. Try booting with SHIFT key held down and then reboot normally to see if that works.
This is very, very bad. I am afraid.

Hi Kirk,
That feed works fine for me. The crash appears to be due to something font related - have you installed/removed any fonts between your last restart and the restart required by the security update?

Skype crashes after security update 2015-003 march...

It crashes immediately after being launched. It happens since I updeted in march 20th and persists after updating to version 10.10.3 on avril 9nt.
Thanks for any advice.

Hi,
When any application crashes in your Mac, this can be addressed pretty much the same way, for example this Apple article may be of interest:
https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18751?locale=en_US
No doubt your system is compatible, I'm using the same system version as you. Can you try to update Skype again, maybe you want to replace the app downloading it from the Skype site: Download Skype
Also you can try to update Skype manually from the Skype Menu Skype > Check for updates.

MacBookPro Freezes after Installing Latest Security Update 2006-003

After downloading and installing the latest security update 2006-003, MacBook Pro freezes when trying to do anything. Seems to do ok in safe mode but did freeze when trying to verify disk with Disk Utility. (did not try to repair as I am out of town at a motel without Tiger disks). Any suggestions before calling apple?
MacBook Pro 15 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Since my post, I think I have solved the problem. At least MyMacBook is working ok so far. What I did is started up in safe mode (for the third time) then I went through the "Library" and looked for stuff that looked like it wouldn't work on a MacBook. This included some Norton Utility things. Also went through preferences and Application Support and did the same thing. By the way I had transferred all this stuff from my old Mac using the transfer app and connecting the two with firewire.
Anyway, it's been working for about an hour. I'll keep this post open for a couple of days to see if it keeps working.

Rosetta Problems after Security Update 2012-001

My crack team of sys admins and I have devised a method for resolving some of the issues regarding the Security Update 2012-001 and Rosetta.
http://www.educate-it.org/content.php?130-Rosetta-Issue-after-Security-Update-20 12-001
Click this link for an Installer that will revert the files necessary for some Rosetta apps to run after the Security Update. This is a band-aid and is only recommended in emergency situations. Apple is currently working on a fix, but until that happens, we are stuck with reverse-engineering their update. I hope this helps those in distress from this update.

Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
If you have TM, or a option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.
If not, c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions, (do not format or erase!!) and simply re--install 10.6 from the disk. Note: Does not touch your files and most programs, but backup your files regardless.
Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8, it should not include the security update at this time (second pass it might show) because it was just released and they might need to pull it. (they need to pull it)
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that installed kext files into OS X, you'll know, they won't work.
If you get gray screen, hold the shift key and update your installed software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

Focus switch to finder after Security Update 2006-001

Just updated with Security Update 2006-001 on PB G4 running 10.4.5.
While running Safari or Mail or any App. and not using the app (like when reading a webpage or mail message) the focus of the OS switches to the Finder after about 10 seconds or so. So in the top menubar right from Apple icon the OS switches from Safari or Mail to Finder.
Moving the mouse does not make any difference. i.e does not prevent or delay the switch.
Clicking on the application window returns focus to that application (Safari or Mail).
Anyone?

thanks for the input. did not resolve the probelm though. finder started to crash every 2 minutes.
but on the bright side: its a user thing. my guest account was not affected.
so i trashed most of my prefs. that resolved the finder problem.
currently working on restoring my prefs & email accounts, oh well

Menu Bar Icons Disappeared and other issues after Security Update 2006-001

Hi,
I was really affraid when i've heard about the Safari vulnerability, so I was really happy to see the Security Update 2006-001.
But after installing it, I'm having regrets:
* mouse speed turned to default settings
* system preferences crashes when i try to access to Mouse & Keyboard
* all the menu bar icons disappeared: Bluetooth, Airport, Time, EVEN Spotlight
* Finder is slower...
I've repaired disk permissions but: nothing happens....
What should I do please?
Should I wait?

How did you fix it? I'm having the same problem
myself.
Mandy,
I'm gonna tell you a secret, just like i said my problem wasn't due to the Security Update but because of Front Row.
How? Because, I've hacked my iMac (without iSight) to install FrontRow (with an update), and i've installed the Security Update at the same time. Restarted my computer, and thought the problem was due to the Security Update.
If you did the same thing, here's the trick to remove Front Row:
Delete Front Row (/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app)
Install/reinstall the the latest Mac OS X Update Combo.
This article assumes you haven’t tried installing Front Row before without the use of Enabler. If you have used one of the very early versions of Front Row (ones installed without Enabler):
Delete Front Row (/System/Library/CoreServices/Front Row.app)
Delete the preference file (/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.frontrow.plist)
Remove any Login Items that launch Front Row (System Preferences >Accounts >User >Login Items)
Disable any shortcuts managed by third-party applications that launched Front Row.
Reboot and reinstall.

System preferences shot after Security Update 2006-008 - no sound any more

All sorts of strange problems after running the 2006-008 security update, yet only affecting one my two MacMini:
System Preferences completely "shot", with the Date&Time item/icon looking very odd.
The little flag for language/keyboard setting and date/time did not show any more in the top menu bar -- basically everything left side of the blue Spotlight magnifying glass icon was gone.
Also Safari much more prone to quit.
Managed to delete some prefs and cached stuff and to replace the System Preferences application with the one from the other (working ok) Mac.
(I wish such components were available on the web!)
However: Currently I get no sound whatsoever. When I check the option to have the little speaker symbol displayed in the menu bar it shows. But as soon as I click it once, it vanishes from the menu bar.
In the Sound window, I have Volume set to full, yet everything is greyed out, "Sound off" is checked without my doing, while "Display sound volume in the menu bar" unchecks itself everytime(!)
And, very odd: While resetting PRAM and the fsck-routine working ok (no problems found) and disk utility claiming to have repaired all permissions, I can not run a reset of Open Firmware/nvram with the O-F-Apple-Alt key combination (I'm using an original Apple USB Keyboard for this, since I'm aware that my 3rd party keyboards from Logitech and Microsoft often refuse to perform such kind of "low level" tasks).

Security Update 2006-008 Special Report: General fixes for common issues
"Re-apply the Mac OS X 10.4.8 combo updater Once again, re-application of the current combination updater (Mac OS X 10.4.8 for PowerPC or Intel) has proven useful in the case of Security Update 2006-008. Doing so overwrites potentially problem-causing files".
while it is widely known that the folks from redmond do release software before all the bugs are removed, i was not aware before that apple is following the same approach: using their customers as guinea pigs when it comes to updates. there is plenty of reports on MacFixIt about all sorts of troubles with previous apple os updates.

Trackpad no longer drags after Security Update 2015-003

I am running Yosemite 10.10.2 on my MacPro 2010. After I installed Security Update 2015-003, I noticed my Apple Trackpad can no longer drag. Here are the symptoms:
I CAN move the cursor around the screen using the trackpad.
I CAN click, and appropriate responses occur.
If I click on a menu in the menu bar, then move (hovering) the cursor with the trackpad down the list of menu choices, they DO NOT highlight. I can click on one, and it WILL BE performed, but a submenu would NOT pop out. I CANNOT drag down the menu and to the side to bring out a submenu using the trackpad.
I CANNOT move a window or other object by tap-dragging on trackpad (double tap, holding the second tap to turn it into a drag)
I CANNOT select a phrase or paragraph by highlighting it by tap-dragging on trackpad
Hover behaviors on web pages DO NOT occur (so links that should highlight, menus on a web page that would normally drop down on their own, do not do so) if cursor is moved by trackpad.
Tool tips or other hover behaviors in web pages or outside of web browser DO NOT occur if cursor is moved by trackpad.
All behaviors are NORMAL if I use my Wacom tablet stylus to perform the same cursor move.
So, if I move the cursor over something using the trackpad, nothing happens. If I then move the cursor over the same thing using the Wacom stylus, highlighting or other hover behavior occurs.
Yes, I've changed the batteries in my trackpad, and it works fine otherwise. It does NOT skip or exhibit symptoms of a poor connection. Three-finger and four-finger drags to go to Previous Page in Safari, or switch desktops, DO work.
Only single-finger dragging is gone.
This issue occurs on my 2010 MacPro running 10.10.2, but does not occur on my 2009 MacPro running 10.10.2 at work.
Both have the Security Update 2015-003 installed, as well as all other current AppStore updates.
So Security Update 2015-003 would not seem to be the issue, but that was the thing which changed on my OS immediately prior to the beginning of the undesired behavior.
There is no setting in the Trackpad control panel that has to do with single-finger dragging. I've also checked the Mouse control panel and the double-click speed is the same between the two computers (the one where Trackpad drag works, the other where Trackpad does not work).

SOLVED:
This issue went away by itself after a reboot for a software installation.

Startup fails after Security Update 2006-007

My eMac hangs at the initial gray startup screen. All I did was to allow Software Update to install Security Update 2006-007. I have waited as long as 60+ minutes, hoping some process would time out - but this is not the case.
My particulars: G4 eMac, 512Mb RAM, 40Gb drive with 15Gb free, 10.3.9 OS X Server (only supports a wireless classroom of 20 ibooks).
Troubleshooting I have done:
* Booted off of Mac OS X install disc. From Disk Utility, repaired permissions (minor fixes) and repaired hard drive (no errors at all).
* Booted into command-V mode. Hangs after only 7 lines. The last line: "BSD root: disk0s3, major 14, minor 2"
Is there any way to undo a Security Update from the Terminal window? I really don't want to do an 'install & archive', with all my user accounts, etc. I have a firewire backup, but as of last week when I got a CCC error it is no longer bootable. I am a high school teacher who knows a bit, but never enough

I seems I'm not the only one experiencing start up problems after the 2006-2007 security update. G-4 Power PC, 466MHZ running OSX 10.3.9
My problems are exasperated by the fact that there was a power outage exactly the same time I did the security update. Now my start up screen goes no further than the whitescreem with the blue bar. IT comes to within 1/4" or 1/16" of the end and stops.
What I've tried:
booted from OSx 10.3.9 Install disk,used disk utilities, Disk First Aid, no major problems found.
Still sticks on start.
Started from Disk Warrior and ran repair no problems. Still sticks on start.
Tried to Safe Boot, with no success.
Zapped the PRAM 4 times. No success.
Tried to start from OSX install disk then bring up my backup disk drive from start up manager. Able to bring up back up, but same problem on start up as built in disk drive. Now I don't know how to unmount the backup disk drive without damage. THIS IS MY MAIN CONCERN AT THIS POINT. IF I LOSE THE BACKUP I'M FRIED!
Please help, I don't know when we will have another power outage and my UPS backup power seems to be compromised also.
Thanks
G-4 466 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

After Security update 2006-002, RAM is halved

Hi,
Right after applying the Security Update 2006-002, I experienced a freeze upon wake-up from sleep. And a general application slowdown.
A fleeting look past the About this Mac window surprisingly revealed that the system now identifies the two additional (trusty for 8 months or so) OWC 1GB RAM modules as 512kb only. Startup memory test is reported as failed - But the modules are still listed as OK.)
I tried putting the modules in another bank. This works, after restart memory is identified correctly and system breezes. Unfortunately, another restart brings things back to the original, 1.5GB state.
Resetting nvram (reset-nvram, set-defaults, reset-all) in OF also mostly has the same effect: First restart restores things back to normal, second restart brings the problem back.
Having read about the recent PB problems where a system update aparently disabled one memory slot, something tells me it's not the RAM modules themselves. (Yes, they check out fine in memory tests.)
Any ideas?
Best,
Ben

Problem disappeared after I caved in and bought new RAM (Kingston Value Ram) as recomended by / from a local dealer. I am inclined to think this in fact was a defect in the RAM modules themselves, OWC has issued a RMA on them and I'm sending them back. Thanks!

Mail & Address Book crash after Security Update

hello,
I recently installed Security Update 2006 002 v1.1 on my iBook G4 and since then Address Book has crashed on launch (also when launching from the Dashboard and from within Mail), and Mail now crashes when pasting text into a new message. I tried repairing permissions with Disk Utility and checking the locations of the apps. So far, nothing's helped.
I've read similar problems on the discussions but haven't found any solutions. If I've missed something, please pass me a link - if not, any ideas?
thank you
scott

also, if a reinstall of this software is required, how can I preserve my mailboxes and address cards?
thanks.
