Safari slow after applying 2006-001 Sec update

After applying 2006-001 my Safari is slow to the point of useless. Same goes for Firefox. In Firefox I can see that name resolution is the killer - takes from 3 to 5 secs even using my own inhouse DNS server. Changing to public DNS server maskes no difference. I have tested ADSL bandwith and name resolution from Windows PC - everything is working perfect.
Tried to test if name resolution has generic problem, but DIG is fast as always.
Tried to reapply 2006-001 manually - made no difference. Has repaired permissions and cleaned caches using Onyx - still no difference.
Anybody got an idea what to do next ?

DivX Doctor is a freeware I had downloaded a few days before applying Security Update 2006-01 (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/4683). It certainly was responsible for my problems with Office X apps because, as I said, they completely disappeared as soon as I got rid of it.
I hadn't the memory problems you mentioned (I've applied also Security update 2006-02 without problems).
Don't know if this can help, but you might want to give a try to Disk inventory X (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/14393) [quote]Disk Inventory X is a disk usage utility for Mac OS X. It shows the sizes of files and folders in a special graphical way called "treemaps".
If you've ever wondered were all your disk space has gone, Disk Inventory X will help you to answer this question.[/quote]
Once DiskWarrior fixed a problem with free hard disk space on my machine, even though a small one.

Another Mac Mini won't boot after applying 2009-001 Security Update

I installed 2009-001 Security Update last night. Now it is stuck at the Apple Logo and Progress Indicator screen. I booted to Single User mode, and ran "/sbin/fsck -fy", it reported no problems. I also booted in verbose mode, which results in:
/System/Library/CoreServices/Loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/loginwindow: Login Window Appliation Started
It shows this message, waits 5 seconds (or so) shows it again, waits 35 seconds (or so), and repeats this loop ad infinitum.
I am not able to boot into Safe Mode, still gets stuck at Apple Logo and Progress Indicator screen.
I do not have immediate access to my installation media - they are in another state.
Much of this information is already in another thread, but, that one was started by someone else who did resolve there problems, and the thread is marked answered - so I am started a new thread:

Thanks,

No, because it isn't clear what really caused the problem. There's lots of different bits of computer code on your computer from many different programmers and companies and all those people have to interact with their coding. Then too, maybe there was a power flicker at some stage and a file wasn't closed properly and couldn't be replaced by the update so not all the files were replaced. Also, you are one out of maybe a couple of dozen who have posted about this problem, vs. how many million Mac users who haven't had a problem and haven't posted here to say, "No problem!"
Here's my boilerplate post on updating:
Updating
There's been recent discussions as to what steps are truly necessary in doing a minimal problem update.
I think #1 to which all agree is to make sure you have a backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the easiest way to resolve any problems an update may produce.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk. Permissions repair can, and is probably best, done when booted from your internal drive.

I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe.

Safari Slow After Yosemite 10.10.3 Update

Hi,
I just updated the software in my iMac to 10.10.3 and suddenly Safari is very slow. I downloaded Google Chrome and it downloads web pages as normal (quickly). Can I know whether there is a fix to this problem.

There are many possible causes for problems with web browsing. Below are some simple steps that may help either to solve the problem or isolate the cause.
Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Restart your router and also your broadband device, if they're separate.
2. If you connect to the the router with Wi-Fi, turn off Wi-Fi and then back on.
3. If you connect with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi.
4. If your browser is Safari, then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If the Downloads button (with the icon of a downward-pointing arrow) is showing in the toolbar, click it and then click Clear in the box that appears. The download history will be removed.
5. Select the Extensions tab in the Preferences window. Turn all extensions OFF and test. If there's an improvement, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
6. If you're running OS X 10.10 or later, select the Search tab. Uncheck the box marked
          Enable Quick Website Search
if it's checked.
7. If you're running OS X 10.9 or later, select the Advanced tab and uncheck the box marked
          Stop plug-ins to save power
Quit and relaunch the browser.
8. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest.
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
9. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they the same? What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
10. If other browsers and Internet applications are also affected, follow these instructions and test.
11. If Parental Controls is active for any user, please turn it off and test.
12. Open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the boxes marked Safari and Photos, if they're checked.
13. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and if so, are they affected?
14. If you can, test Safari on another network.
15. Start up in Recovery mode. In the OS X Utilities screen, select Get Help Online. A clean copy of Safari will launch. No plugins, such as Flash, will be available. While in Recovery, you'll have no access to your saved bookmarks or passwords, so make a note of those before you begin, if they're needed for the test.

Mac Mini won't boot after applying 2009-001 Security Update

I'm stuck at the gray startup screen with the Apple logo and the "gear wheel" progress indicator. Still stuck there after 60 minutes of "letting it brood."
How to I fix this?

The easiest way to solve the problem is to restore the drive from the backup you made just before installing any update or software on your computer, then do the installation again following the suggestions at the end of this post. Failing that...
First, try the routine repair disk and repair permissions with Disk Utility on your installer disc. Boot from the installer disk, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and done a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
From BDaqua (couldn't have said it better):
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), 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.
Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."
If you don't have an installer disc available you can try effecting repairs using [fsk in Single User Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214].

If the above don't work, two things seemed to be solutions for Security Update 2008-008 problems.
One is Archive and Install which will replace the corrupted system but then requires you reapply all your updates. Select the keep settings and preferences when doing A&I. Make sure you select that option when doing A&I if you want settings and preferences kept. Some third party applications may need reinstalling if they have special components.

[How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107297]
The other is to try to re-install the security update on the main drive while booted from a secondary drive or in Single User Mode. This could be from another Mac computer while your first one is in Target Disk Mode, perhaps a bootable backup drive, or possibly from your installer disc. Here's references for those methods:

Safari slow after latest update 1-27-15

After updating my mac on with the new updates released on 1-27-15 Safari is almost unusable. It is so slow and hangs there indefinitely. It is not my internet service as things are running fine with all other devices - just my desktop where I updated. I have had to switch to Firefox for now so I could even write this. Please advise on a solution as Safari is my preferred browser so that all my apple devices can share info.

Security Update 2015 - 001 Ver. 1
Safari - 7.1.3
Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2
Those were the updates that were suggested as released on 1-27-15. After doing so, Safari is just about unusable.

2012R2 Application installation steps after deploying OS from Task sequence is slow after applying hotfix 2910552

We are currently using CM2012r2 for Endpoint protection, and in trying to save licensing costs, I have been given the task of doing imaging and application deployment through CM as well... everything started off well... noticed that imaging took a lot longer
than I remembered when I used CM2007 at my previous employer. Found we needed hotfix 2910522 and what took an hour to download now only takes 5 minutes (yay!) Then started other strange issues. Mostly the fact that in the task sequence, the install application
blocks (we have 3 with 4-8 apps each) suddenly got really slow to execute. (boo!) The application blocks eventually finish, but take about 5 hours and only the last block actually installs. For example: 7zip takes 15 minutes to "install"
but since it isn't in the last block, it doesn't in fact install on the system.
so here is what I know so far:
Updated the boot image after applying the hotfix
Added the hotfix to the Windows and configmgr setup step command line to install the patch
Verified that all applications install correctly outside of the task sequence.
Created a new task sequence just in case the hotfix messed something up.
here is what I've noticed:
Only happens on workstations that have been imaged previously by CM (even if I remove the machine from AD and CM)
New machines image just dandy
not hardware specific (tested on 5 different laptop models and 3 desktop models)
workstations that have the issue, when finished, only installed the applications from the last block (4 apps) and none from the previous 2 blocks (16 applications)
If imaged new (not previously known) it installs the client correctly and it checks in, ones with the issue are in internet only mode and don't see the PKI cert for the machine, and will not check in.
Things I've checked, double checked, verified, and done:
All applications have the box for "allow this application to be installed from the Install Application task sequence action..."
applications are on all distribution points
Distribution points are healthy
One MP/DP was complaining about how it couldn't access a SMS folder. uninstalled the roles, let it sit over the weekend, reinstalled this morning
Verified that the servers were on 10Gb full and were not throwing error on the line
Antivirus scanning was not scanning the store (used the built in template for scep)
Next steps that I am going to try:
create a new task sequence and split up install application blocks to only have single applications in them
recreate the boot wim for the media
Thanks in advance

So this issue of yours is in B&C -task sequence? You're using capture CD for capturing, why? Why not automate the build entirely.
I'd suggest you add this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2775511/en-us to your BUILD image (either online of offline, in the WinPE -phase), it fixes many WMI related problems.
After you've done your golden .wim, deploy it to your clients.
We don't do a build and capture because certain applications require handling on our part. Management has said it needs to be a certain way, therefore this is how we have to build it. (mostly settings, and views that can't be controlled through registry,
Group Policy, etc.) There are users that if they have to click on an accept button or it isn't the right color, or they want a different icon in their lab, then they go to the top and it comes back down to us, and our lives become miserable.
We create the image in audit mode, capture it using boot media, and sequence in things that are updated constantly (flash, shockwave, java, etc.) through the task sequence.
in relation to that KB, why would it work on new machines but not ones that have been touched before?

Logic slow after iLife Support 8.2 update

The main discussion is here entitled Logic 8 WAY slow after 10.5.2 update, but it seems the problem may be caused by the iLife Support 8.2 update.

Once a project is open, it seems that any task will invoke the dreaded coloured beachball for about five minutes at a time. Activity monitor shows 'Logic not responding' during these annoying intermissions.

Folks, I have had some success in fixing this problem.
I followed the following instructions that I found in an old post on another forum, dated in 2007 but gave it a try. Since doing it, Garageband is loading in the usual 20-30 secs again.
1. Create a folder on your desktop called "OLD FONTS"
2. go to the /Users/*/Library/Fonts folder, where "*" is the user that is having the problem loading GB.
3. Move all of the fonts from this folder to the new folder you created in the first step. These are not system fonts, so it is okay to do this.
4. Try to load GB. Thank God and do a happy dance!
5. Put back fonts one letter of the alphabet at a time to find the offending font.
I haven't found the offending Font yet, but wanted to share this info as soon as possible.

Filetransfer Slow after applying Solaris 8 Patch

Hi,
I have applied Solaris 8 Patches on SUNF V240 to upgrade from SunOS 5.8 Generic_117250-22 TO SunOS DSSPDAPPSGO2 5.8 Generic_117350-33.
After applying the patch, the filetransfer between the SUNFV240 & my IBM AIX (Version 5.3 ML09) becomes very slow. (eg. 70 MB file need abt 20-30 min to complete.
Before the PATCH, it only need less than a minute.
These 2 servers are connected via a network hub, and set to 100 Full Duplex on the server end.
Has anyone know what cause this & what is the solution. Thanks
regards,

Yes, I have made the 100 full duplex on both servers (Solaris & AIX), but still does not solved the problem.
The only thing I can't change is the setting at the Hub (DIGI MIL-H3130 ) which connect both servers, because the HUB is autosensing, and looking at the documentation there is no mention to set (fix) 100 Fullduplex on this hub.
If I bypass this Hub, and use UTP crosscable to connect the two servers, then it is OK.
I have tried to use another DIGI MIL-H3130 hub, also face the same problem.
I just wondering which particular patch causing this problem in Solaris, and whether is there any solution for this.

Get error message "GetLogicalProcessorInformation .... kernel32.dll" after applying firefox 36.0 update

i was using firefox 35.0.1 and just applied the 36.0 update few hours ago.
after that, i was unable to run firefox.
when i double clicks on the firefox icon, it bumps out 2 error message.
1 of them is "GetLogicalProcessorInformation ... kernel32.dll"

Hi tenfive,
It sounds like something must have gone wrong during the update.
Could you please try downloading the latest Firefox installer from this page, and use it to reinstall Firefox?

Let us know if this solves the issue! If not, It is possible to download and install Firefox 35 - but there were some security issues fixed in Firefox 36, so it's always better to use the latest version.

Safari slow after installing TalkTalk Fiber Optic Broadband.

Why is my Safari browsing so slow after connecting to TalkTalk's Fiber Optic Broadband connection?

I installed Firefox browser which resolved my problem.
I have a iMac with Safari as my web browser. I recently signed up for Fiber Optic Broadband Connection with TalkTalk who assured me that my internet connection will be at least 30Mb/s - as opposed to my 9Mb/s. So I did the switch and signed up for the Fiber Optic Broadband. To my horror, my web browsing became snails pace when I changed the router to the Supper Fast Router necessary to be on the TalkTalk Fiber Broadband (especially for Google home page and much worse for Youtube). I asked TalkTalk for assistance and they could not help. I then downloaded the latest Firefox browser and found that the slow speed problem was no more! I immediately removed Safari from my Dock and replaced it with Firefox. Problem Solved! :-)

Links to shortcuts not working after applying 8.2.4 update

After the 8.2.4 update was installed on my Vista computer, I can’t invoke links in my PDFs that specify an UNC\\pathname\shortcut.lnk. The hyperlink was originally created in Microsoft Office 2007. The file was then converted to PDF using the Adobe Acrobat add-in “Create PDF”. The error I’m getting is something like “Windows cannot find ‘shortcut.lnk’ could not open file ‘/UNC/pathname/shortcut.lnk’. Please note that these links work as expected on 8.2.3 and lower. Were new registry keys added? Was a bug introduced into the update? I’m lost…

A lot of people have been reporting broken links with the latest update, and it appears to be a bug that Adobe is reported to be working on.

Cannot download podcasts after applying latest Leopard security update

Last night I applied the latest security update to my Mac Mini, running the latest version of iTunes and Leopard. This morning I went to update my iTunes library with the latest podcasts. When I did the refresh, it started to download several podcasts, but then stopped them all with a message stating that I did not have the proper permissions. My iTunes library is on a fireware-connected DROBO that has approx. 1.5 TB free space. I have been using this configuration for over 2 months without problems.

You need to check permissions on the folder that holds your library. Navigate to your music folder, Get Info and make sure permissions are set to READ and WRITE. Then...make sure it's applied to ALL enclosed folders. (Click the Gear for the apply to all option.)

Safari slow after OSX Yosemite 10.3.3 update

Hi, this week I ran the OSX Yosemite 10.3.3 on my MacBook Pro. Since then I note that accessing websites is incredibly slow in the beginning. The progress bar under the Safari address line stops at the 1st third for several minutes . The only thing that helps is to close Safari and restart it again.
I have already rebooted the MacBood and disabled all Safari ad-ins. The network is as fast as usual (6 MBits/s) on my IPAD.
Any ideas
Regards
Andreas

Hi Andreas456,
I'm sorry to hear you are having this issue with Safari after a recent update. If you continue to have slow initial loading of webpages, you may want to check for the issue outlined in the following article:
