Security Update 2007-001 Blocks Filesharing Software

The recent security update for quicktime, (Security Update 2007-001), completely blocked my aMule filesharing application. Are there any others who are experiencing similar problems with this update?

I can't be sure that it's related to the security update, but I used to share a couple of folders with SharePoints. Then Friday, my hard drive died. I had a clone on an external drive, so I cloned it back to the new hard drive.
I ran the software updates this morning, then configured SharePoints, and now I can't access my shared folders over the network at all. Whenver I try, I get an apple crash report window because "The application SMB unexpectedly quit." on the ibook doing the sharing.
I'm trying a reinstall at the moment to see whether that does anything.

Security Update 2007-001 patch for Windows

Hi, I am having no luck in finding the Security Update 2007-001 for Quicktime security patch for Windows XP.
Can someone please direct me to either the link to directly download the Windows version of the 2007-001 security patch, or a link to the Software Update tool in order to download this patch.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304989
If Software Update was not installed during your QuickTime Player install you'll need to uninstall it, re-install and include Software Update software.
Is that enough install?

Error after Security Update 2007-001

Salut,
After doing the latest airport security update my Macbook doesn't boot anymore (freezes before the login screen):
- "fsck -fy" doesn't fix it
- booting installation DVD + "repair permissions" doesn't fix it
After some seconds I can see launchd in a infinite loop of error msgs blinking frenetically.
Great security update that crashes a system, long live QA.
thanks,

Did you try booting in safe mode (Shift while booting MacOS X ?
If this works, try re-applying Mac OS 10.4.8 combo update for your machine and re-install security updaye.
Oh yep, forgot to say: safe mode hangs too.
If not, it could be a little tricky : boot in single user mode, find a way to copy Mac OS X Combo update and apply in in text mode :-/
Ok, I'm downloading the combo (250mb) hopefully I would be able to mount a pendrive and launch from the cmd line. Btw how ? using "open" ?
Oh, btw, what are those messages ?
I'm working on it (I'm trying to boot in verbose mode)
Et merci for your quick reply

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

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.

Can't Install Security Update 2007-009 With Software Update

I tried to install Security Update 2007-009 on a 10.5.1 G4 system, but the installation fails with an "unknown error". Here are the details:
1) Software Update downloads the file and ask to Restart
2) Get to the blue screen
3) See these messages "Preparing target volume" and "Configuring installation"
4) Get this error message:
The update "Security Update 2007-009" can't be installed.
The installer encountered an unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
5) Restart
I then deleted the "Security Update 2007-009" folder from Library->Updates and tried the update again, but got the same error.
Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks.

I installed Security Update 2007-009 via Software Update and received the following error:
"Security Update 2007-009 can't be installed. The installer could not validate the contents of the SecUpd2007-009 package."
I ran Disk Utility (twice) to ensure that the permissions were in order and received the following report on both occasions:

Permissions repair complete
Regarless, I downloaded the update directly from Apple Support located here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate2007009111051.html
And 2007-009 installation complete without a hitch. I have no idea what is going on with the permissions (any recommendations) but I have not found any other problems since this update was installed.
I hope this helps.

Security Update 2007 02 keep coming back in Software Update

Hi there,
when I install the Security Update 2007 02 and restart the computer, this update should be gone from Software Update but everytime I run Software Update it tells me again to do the Security Update. This problem occurs only with my G5.
Dual 2.3GHz G5 3GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8) iBook G4 1GHz

Airport icon grey after installing software update Security Update 2007-004

Yesterday I installed Security Update 2007-004 (10.3.9 Client)(April 19, 2007) and since then when I wake-up my iBook (which was functioning fine prior to closing it and puting it to sleep) the airport icon is greyed out. The only way to get the airport icon to be black (functioning)is to restart the iBook.
Has anyone else had this issue or does anyone have any ideas. I an running 10.3.9 on a 2 USB port G3 iBook with a snow airport.
Thanks.

Have you tried the simple solution posted by quovadis?

I hope it works for you.

Security Update 2008-001 broke AirPort!

Forgive the lengthy post... I think I already know the answer to this question, but I'm throwing it out there in case others are having difficulty with the same or similar problems.
I have a G3/900 iBook with maxed-out RAM, running 10.4.11. It had all the software updates available in 2007, and was connected to a US Robotics B/G router running in mixed mode. AirPort worked fine under WEP with 128-bit authentication (26 hex digits).
The US Robotics router gave up the ghost and was replaced by a similarly configured Linksys router. Same authentication, same mixed mode. I have two other wireless PC laptops and all were swimming along happily in the sea of data.
Then I updated iBook to Security Update 2008-001. The description in Software Update doesn't say anything about AirPort fixes being included, just a generic "you really need to download this" message.
Now, whenever I restart the machine, my AirPort card connects to my router, but instead of accepting the DHCP settings pushed down by the router, en1 adopts an APIPA (Automated Private Internet Protocol Address). The router's web-based utility shows that it's matched up the MAC address of the AirPort card and assigned it an IP. Doesn't make a difference whether I set it to static or dynamic, I have to restart TWICE, and manually turn AirPort off and back on the second time it boots up, in order for the TCP/IP stack to get it right. The other two Windows PCs, as much of a pain they were to configure initially, have no problem booting right up and connecting to the router.
I have reseated the AirPort card and cable to no avail. When it's connected, the signal is great - I can go down the block with this little white box - so I am relatively sure it's not a short in the AirPort antenna loop. The only configuration item that's changed is SU 2008-001.
Is there anything left I can try but back up my data and do an archive-and-install of Tiger?
Thanks,
Josh R.

I've seen scant evidence of this with some Routers & WEP connections.
Hard to tell which of these files is doing it, but since some files help recreate others, it may be best to drag all of these to the Desktop & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
Then there's the Keychain Access reference to this connection that may need deleting & redoing, and also the plists tied to that MAC addy, which are generally of the form...
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist

Snow Leopard 10.6.2 Security Update 2010-001

I had a MacBook Pro 15" 2006 , core duo 2GHz 100GB with Snow Leopard working fine, until I a) repaired permissions, b) installed single item "Security Update 2010-001" via Software Update c) restarted when I was told "you need to restart to finish this upgrade", restart later I chose to restart now. The MBP1,1 has blocked at a flashing Apple/'No-Entry/'? folder' grey/gray screen.
I have read http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1892?viewlocale=en_US , I have tried advanced repair techniques, PRAM, safeboot, X etc to as yet no avail.
I urge caution before applying this update on mission critical systems, I have read widely and many people have had no problems with Security Update 2010-001, but some have. I am an experienced Apple user - this is an anomaly, hopefully very rare. any other suggestions rather than total system restore?

.... BUT NO ...
I'm still having the problem, but it's getting better and I'm not blaming the Security Update any longer.
I've been rebooting into Safe Mode (Shift while Switch-on) and investigating Library/Startup Items and User Login Items.
I don't know whether it's 10.6.2 or the Security Update, but one of them seems to have made the machine sensitive to the fact (my fault) that I had various old and presumably not-compatible items in Startup. Also, some of the software/drivers/plugins you find in Preferences (eg my Mouse driver, my pen tablet driver) seemed to be outdated. I've now given my collection of old software a bit of a spring clean, and 2 times out of 3 I can now reboot successfully.
... failing which, reboot in Safe Mode and try again.

Security Update 2014-001 Woes

After Security update 2014-001, I can't quicklook any video or audio files (images/text/pdf still work) and when trying to load Facebook or IMDB in Safari, the pages will load, reload three times, then I get a 'Safari Web Content quit unexpectedly' pop-up.
If I open Safari, set cookies to 'never block' then back to my normal setting of 'block third party & advertisers' the pages will load normally. I have to do this every time I start the browser for those pages (and my bank's website) to load properly. I'm using Safari 5.1.7 by the way, because I use RSS everytime I browse the web, I want it built into my browser instead of hassling with another app, and they dropped support for it in 6+.
For video/audio files I no longer get a preview of the file in the icon—just generic movie or mp3 icons—and attempting to quicklook those files gets me a window featuring the icon and a message that 'there was an error with the preview of this file.'
I remember when I used to look forward to updates, now I examine them carefully before installing to see what functionality I use all the time that the 'upgrade' is going to take away. Even after hesitating and reading up on 2014-001 before installing, I still got bit. I'm just about ready to huck the #@!$ computer out the window.
How do I uninstall the security update so I can resume normal web browsing and restore quicklook function?

What a pain. I finally managed to fix things by booting from the Lion recovery disk, reinstalling Windo—oops, I mean Lion, then running Software Update and ignoring the 2014-001 security update.
I then set Software Update to never check for updates again.
Voila! Quicktime player works again! Quicklook previews audio/video files again! Safari works again!

Applications not responding apparently after Security Update 2007-009

Mail, iTunes, Skype, MSN Messenger, MainMenu, Emule, Safari and god know what else aren't responding after Security Update 2007-009.
Hi,
I recently purchased a new phone that does not work with macs, so I bought an application from Feisar to make it work. The application isn't freeware, so I think it is very unlikely that it bogused my system. Anyway, I installed the software, but only afterwards noticed it didn't work for my phone model with the USb interface, only through bluetooth, which I don't have. Moreover, and, in my opinion, more importantly, I also downloaded and installed security update 2007-009. After the update, I mandatorily restarted OS X and instantly noticed Mail, iTunes, Safari, Skype and Messenger not working. I click on them on the dock, they bounce (usually once, but it has occured to be more) and nothing happens. I don't get the little arrow below the icon. I see the applications in the applications folder, so they are not missing. I searched and searched on the internet and, apparently it is, to say the least, herculeanly complicated to downgrade from a software update. I tried to repair permissions and it didn't work. I tried the apple hardware test and everything came out perfect. I restarted many times and the same keeps happening.
So I wasted half my day yesterday trying to fix this, looking into forums and trying to talk to people about it and there it absolutely no answer. Yesterday I installed the programs necessary to sync my phone in my wife's macbook and nothing bad happened. So I'm guessing it isn't about the phone plugins I installed. I've tried to download combo updates but they crash as soon as I try to install them - I even tried to install a 10.4.10 update.
This is the error message I get:
Command: Installer

I put part of in on google to check if there was anybody discussing anything related and someone suggested - bizarrely enough - updating adobe reader. I did it just in case and, of course, it didn't work. I repaired permissions a million times already, I rebooted in safe mode, I scaned the computer with apple jack (which reapetedly said that I had a "fan failure!"), I verified the disk with diskutility - which showed nothing. I tried downloading an anti-virus (ClamXav), but I couldn't open it also, I trashed my prefs, I deleted all internet plugins, but still.... nothing.
The most likely line to follow here is the "fan failure" message in apple jack. I looked inside my g5 and all fans except for the one close to the Hard Drives aren't spining. I'm not sure this means they aren't functional or whether the temperature isn't high enough for it to be turned on. Temperature must be around 26-28 degrees Celsius today. There is nothing on the internet about that fan failure that's close enough to my case.
I'm about to quit and take it to the very expensive - yet reliable - authorized tech support apple has in Rio. Any ideas, anyone?

Maybe it is a security update thing! I have had similar troubles with my CS2 and other simple apps like TextEdit not opening, just doing that single bounce... I have tried EVERYTHING and now, after reinstalling my entire system, have lost access to my own user profile.
I'm assuming you have tried starting up with your original system install disk in the computer, while you turn it on, hold the option key, it will allow you to run another hardware check, as well as to do an archive install if it comes down to that.
good luck, please let me know if you find out something else that might be causing the problems... i've noticed that alot of mac threads have similar probs listed.

HT1222 Security Update 2013-001 (Lion) may have disabled the DVI on my 17" MacBook Pro

It looks like Security Update 2013-001 (Lion) may have disabled the DVI on my 17" MacBook Pro ... 2006 vintage ... it worked fine before the upgrade. Tested port with HD monitor using an HDMI adapter that worked before. Thanks for the help!

Thank you for the suggestion ... I repaired the disk ... repaired the permissions ... from the CMD+r restore partition ...
No changes.
I'm in the process of doing a Software Update scan ...
Thanks for the suggestion ... hope there might be more ...
I know these are supposedly never monitored by Apple ... but I can always hope!

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.

Security Update 2010-001--- So secure I lost Admin Access!

I am running a Snow Leopard Server on a Mac Mini (I bought into the dual 500GB model) to host some documents and act as a small cross-platform dropbox for any kind of files that need to be shared over a biomedical research-related network. A little overkill but...
Anyway today I followed the software update prompt and installed Security Update 2010-001. After restart, I can no longer login as the administrator (or anyone else for that matter). Curiously, I can access it using +Server Admin+ and using +screen sharing+, all with the same old username and password as before. I just cannot login on the mini itself. Any thoughts on this issue? Potential was to resolve it? I have the 2nd drive configured as a Time Machine backup, so perhaps I can rewind to yesterday? Not sure how that works but I guess I can figure it out somehow.

Per Oxfjell wrote:
How'd you regain access to the Mac Mini? I have currently locked myself out in the same fashion, and the only thing I can think of is to reinstall the server OS.. Funny thing is, I'm the only one with access at the moment, and all I did was a simple reboot.. I haven't tampered with passwords or anything of the kind. Why the admin password is suddenly not working is beyond me..
In the remote server access software, somehow I had inadvertently checked the button that allowed only limited access. The way I fixed it was to go to the Access pane of the Server Admin software, then I selected the button "For the selected services" button on the left and selected "Login Window" and finally clicked the button "allow all users and groups" on the right. This is counter intuitive because you don't want to allow access to everyone, but it will still require local management of the server (eg only those already allowed to login will be allowed after you check the button)
I hope that makes sense. It solved the problem for me and saved me a lot of hassle.
