Safari update 4.02 corruption

I downloaded 4.02 and installed it. My boot drive is now unbootable. I have run DiskUtility, TechTool Pro 5, Drive Genius 2, and Diskwarrior 4.1.1 to no avail. What is the story with the update? It trashed my system.

I did a rebuild with Diskwarrior 4.1.1 and Drive Genius 2 and TechTool Pro 5. The drive is not completely corrupted. There is clearly a corruption in the boot software since that partition will not boot in safe mode. The only change that was made was the installation of the Safari update. No other bootable drive or partition has been compromised, however I have not attempted an upgrade of Safari on those drives. I have no confidence that the 4.0.2 upgrade will install on my system without further damage. If you can give me a clue to diagnosing what happened I will run the traps to locate the issue, but as of this time I see no reason to assume that the problem was caused by anything other than the update process.
Assume that what I have told you about the result of the update is true, what is the next step to resolving the problem. Incidentally, all systems tests come up clean. NO ISSUES. You have seen the list of tools that I used to test that boot drive.
Suppose that there were corrupted permissions before I ran the update. What would happen if the updater encountered those corrupted permissions? Would there be no effect? Would other files become corrupted by the update process? What is the stream of changes that the updater would make and how might those changes impact the boot process? Does the Safari updater have any involvement with the boot sequence and commands?
This is not a minor issue on my system. I do not have a current clone that I can use to replace the damaged drive. Shame on me, however, I don't expect a Microsoft result from an Apple update.

If not that, please include a crash report & test in a new or Guest user account.

Software Updates keep getting corrupted?

I am trying to download OS X Update 10.10.1 however whenever I try to restart my mac in order to finish installing the update it tells me that some part of the update has been corrupted (either Safari 8.0.2 or iTunes 12.0.1 any of the four parts). I don't understand how I can wait for the entire update to load only to have it all be corrupted. This is a 11" 2013 Macbook Air that is BRAND NEW.

Upon safari update now locks up

upon safari update now locks up

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
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 personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; 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. Same problem?
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.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Installed latest Safari update, now iMac won't boot?

OK, I'm baffled. This has never happened before. I was using my machine just fine this afternoon. I got a notification that new software was available and I checked and it said it was a safari update. So I downloaded and chose to reboot later when I finished all my work and closed a bunch of items down.
I went upstairs to eat dinner, and came back down expecting to see the machine up and running. Uh-Uh. So I held the side button down until it beeped and then released it. Heard the "ta-da" and the black screen turned light gray but no slotted pinwheel. It stays right there. I tried pulling the plug for 10-15 seconds, same deal. It stops after the musical intro on the gray screen and never gos further.
Is there any way to force-boot the system? Is this what some people refer to as "freezing" or planned obsolescence? I bought an iMac because I was tired of fighting with PC hardware, OS's, and viruses. I would hate to believe that Apple has sunken so low so as to plan the early death of this marvelous machine. Its shameful that I have to use an old PC to get on an Apple Support site and ask about what's wrong with my Mac. At least with the PCs you can easily rip them apart and replace bad components. Here I'm trapped in Apple's all-in-one don't you dare take it apart design.
Hopefully there's a easy way out and maybe someone will clue me in.
Doc

No, Apple is not out to get you.
What is most likely is simply the physics of magnetic media. From your description I'd say something untoward happened during the Safari install. Whether that was corruption of your directory or a physical failure of your hard drive or something else I can't say, but the first step should be to locate your Install DVD and see if you can boot from it. Insert the disk while the screen is grey; the iMac should still "eat" it. If not you'll need to find an external DVD drive and use that.
Assuming you have a DVD loaded and the machine boots from it the first thing I would do is run Disk Repair on your internal hard drive. You will find this in the menu options on screen, upper left hand side... I can't remember the exact sequence, but poke around, you'll find Disk Utilities, one of which is Disk Repair. Run that and hopefully your problem will be solved. If not you can resort to stronger medicine like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro, but those are 3rd party apps that costs quite a bit of $$$. If you don't want to try repairing and your Mac boots from the Install disk you can (hopefully you've kept a backup of your data) try a fresh install of OS X, or drop into an Apple Store and see what they can do for you at the Genius Bar. Good luck!

Since Safari update, ichat, itunes, safari and update don't work.

I've got a weird one . . .
I ran the software update this morning for the new Safari, as well as iTunes. At the end of the download, I got an error message saying iTunes worked, but the Safari update was not successful. It then made me restart. After restart, software update refuses to open, as do Safari, mail, iChat, and iTunes. Third party programs run fine, as do iCal, iPhoto, etc. Firefox works fine. I downloaded the Safari update package off Apple's site via Firefox, but the package "unexpectedly quits." I'm thinking the failed update screwed everything up, but if I can't open a package installer OR the software update program, how the heck am I supposed to fix it?
I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on a Powerbook G4.

Not so weird, Travis.
It is happening to many of us. G5 tower 10.4.11
So the update killed iChat, Mail, itunes, safari, dictionary any apple installer, software update, as well as programs like cocktail, onyx and many others too numerous to name here.
My update didn't have an error message.
Here is what I have done:
Dumped all the prefs, tried to find corrupted fonts=none, cleaned font cache, repaired permissions (I always do this before I install any apple stuff), repaired disk, did that from the main drive and from a laptop with the G5 as a target disk. Made new users=nothing.
Started in safe mode and used terminal to fsk the HD.
NOw I will try to install safari from the laptop to see if safari is the rascal.
Disappointed in the whole thing, basically I am stuck with no mail, no apple Tv, and although there are work arounds, this is not what I need, Thanks Apple!

Hi mcclausky, you may need to manually remove a policy setting from the registry. You also should scan for malware that might have created this problem.
This article lists scanning and cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
To check your Windows registry for policy settings that might affect Firefox or other programs, I suggest consulting a Windows forum or Microsoft's forums. For example:

Since I made my Safari update yesterday, safari doesn't open my chosen webpage anymore at the start... Frustrating ! What can I do to have my opening page again ?

Go to Preferences-> general and change 3 settings there:
1. "Safari opens with" = "A new window:
2. "New windows open with" = "Homepage"
3. "Homepage" = <your chosen webpage>

Don't panic. OS X 10.5.8 is the most popular PowerPC OS out there. People run it everyday without security breaches, including myself. It isn't Windows!
If you're really that worried, I highly recommend Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition. Supports PowerPC & Intel and Mac OS X 10.4-10.7.

Hello
My system version 10.5.8
I have installed Safari update - 5.0.6 and the browser stopped working. At openingit shows the following icon:
"Safari has suddenly finished working. Possible problem is in the action of the plugin "TastyAppsAVPlugin".
After deleting all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin", Safari worked again no problem, BUT all sites with flash content (e.g.YouTube) did not work.
I then tried the following experimental steps:
a) Moved all plugins from the folder "Internet Plugin" into a temporary folder.
b) Downloaded and istalled Adobe Flash Player version 10.3.181.34
c) Started Safari and it did not work ( same message"TastyAppsAVPlugin")
d) Deleted Adobe Flash Player from the folder "Internet Plugin". Safari worked.
e) Moved back all plugins, except Adobe Flash Player, from the temporary folder to "Internet Plugin" folder. Safari works... But Flash won't work!!! Before update to Safari 5.0.6 , ev erything worked perfectly well.
Guys, please solve the problem

There are many threads on this. I typed "Uninstalling TastyApps" in the Google search, and came up with these:
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Uninstalling+tastyapps&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8
I do not know which of the many TastyApps haxies you have. Perhaps it would be better to contact them directly, once you know which of their products you have.

I can no longer get my complete bank statements online, and my bank blames the Safari update and tells me to switch to Firefox. Is there no other solution?

I would feel dreadful If I thought had caused you a problem. The warnings about Java are fully justified but providing you are communicating with a known source, and as I said, you disable it the moment you have finished, you should be safe.
It might also be worth asking your bank what problem they have and would it be the same if you were using Firefox, for example.
Like you, I am very security minded, in fact I won't even put my bank details on my Mac let alone run my account that way.

My daughter downloaded the new safari update on her iMac and now it won't open without new os update

We downloaded the new safari update on my daughter's iMac and one it won't open without the new os. How do we go back to the previous safari? Thanks!

Which OS X is installed on your Mac ?
Click the Apple () menu top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac.

MacBook will not boot after iTunes 10.5.2, iPhoto, and Safari update

My MacBook (mid 2007) will no longer boot after the iTunes 10.5.2, iPhoto and Safari update. It will load Lion but will no open any applications. After running Repair Disk Permissions and Repair Disk in the Recovery HD, Lion will ask for my password, log in, then display the menu bar and a grey background and remain unresponsive. I tried downloading a new copy of Lion in Recovery HD but it will not get past about 1/8 of the download bar before freezing and becoming unresponsive. Any ideas?

Any ideas?? I really need to see if this is fixable! Thanks!

Safari Update 8.14.14 causing fan to run loud?

I just did the update for Safari 7.0.6 on 8.14.14 and now it appears that my computer fan is running a lot louder after I did this update. I know that it is not the fan not working correctly or the vent is clogged because I am using Chrome right now to type this message and the fan is running normally. I am wondering if others are having problems with this new update and/or how to solve the problem of the latest Safari update causing the fan to run louder.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Extensions and plug-ins can increase fan speeds not just the browser itself.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
Check the fan noise. If it decreases, turn extensions back one at a time to test until you find the culprit.
If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect: Allow all other plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
