Security Update 2007-004 (PPC) - Shuffle No More

I recently installed the Security Update 2007-004 (PowerPC) and immediately upon restart my 2nd Gen Shuffle no longer will mount or appear in iTunes.
The light flashes orange three times when I put it in the dock and then it goes dark and nothing happens. I've checked disk utility to see if it might see it, and it doesn't either.

Was the shuffle attached when you rebooted? Reboot again without shuffle, THEN connect it...

!!! Security Update 2007-004 (PPC) causes crashes !!!

After i downloaded the Security Update 2007-004 (PPC) mail and safari refuse to quit. Only force-quit works for these apps.
Also after downloading and installing the update, the computer restarted and got stuck in a startup loop which i force-quitted after 15 minutes or so. After the forced restart the computer started normally but mail and safari seem te be broken. I ran MainMenu for maintenance.
I read several posts on various locations reporting similar problems.
Anyone a solution for fixing my mail and safari?
Can I revert the last update?
will there be a fix posted?
i use a powerbook G4 15ii OS 10.4.9

Hi Jelle2
Welcome to Discussions.
To answer your questions in reverse:
Will there be a fix?
I don't think there is a problem with that update for Tiger. The problem is avoided when during the optimization phase of Software Update, that process is allowed to run uninterrupted. So if you were using mail and safari whilst also doing the Software Update, then that may be the cause of your current problem.
Can I revert the last Update?
Updates cannot be reversed except by reinstalling the OS, and not doing the Security Update 2007-004. But as I have said there in nothing inherently wrong with that update, just the way it has been installed.
Anyone a solution for fixing my mail and safari?
I would run Repair Disk from the Install DVD as per this guide:
To do this: Insert the Install Disk 1 into the drive and then select Restart, then continue to hold down the C key until the Apple logo appears.
This will take you to the installation software, but you do not want to install.
Select your language, then go up to the top menu bar to Utilities and navigate to the Disk Utilities application.
Select the start up drive, then follow the instructions in the First Aid pane where you can click on Repair Disk .
If it finds errors, repeat the process until it reports no errors.
After these repairs, quit the application, and restart normally.
Once restarted normally run Repair Permissions. from the Disk Utility application found on your hard drive in Application/Utilities.

Security Update 2008-004 (PPC) caused kernel panic

I installed the Security Update 2008-004 (PPC) and Safari Update 3.1.2 and now I can't access my main startup drive +(the problem started immediately after I restarted my G4 after installing the Security Update 2008-004 -- I got the gray screen with the Apple logo, but it froze there and never got to the login screen).+
My G4 PowerBook (laptop) is running the update just fine -- no kernel panics.
I have a 2nd internal HD on my G4 (desktop) that I use for just such emergencies. The only difference is the 2nd HD does NOT have the Security Update 2008-004 (PPC) and Safari 3.1.2 update. +(Last security update was Security Update 2008-003.)+
I did gain access to my main startup HD at one point and it worked fine until I shut it down +(I unplugged all peripherals (FireWire and USB) and, somehow, got it to startup correctly, then I plugged everything back in).+
*But, the next day, I was back to square 1 when I didn't unplug all my peripherals.*
If I have to unplug everything to startup every time, then I'm going to yank my hair out!
The Mac OS Update software is surely to blame for the kernel panic, 'cause I don't have to do it for the 2nd HD without the 2008-004 Security Update.
Plus, once my G4 is up and running on the 2nd HD, I have total access to my main startup HD. TechTool Pro (v.4.1.1) found no problems with any of the files on it, including the Volumes and Finder Info files, which all tested free of any errors.
According to the not-so-helpful advice from "experts," I'll need to reinstall the MAC OS 10.4.x.
HOWEVER, I want to know if I start from my original DVD 10.4.3 install disk, what happens when I start installing all the updates, including the Security Updates?
*Do I STOP at Security Update 2008-003 (PPC)?*
Because I DON'T want to reinstall the OS or my applications over again and AGAIN!
Apple, PLEASE, fix this Security Update!

Hi again!
I'd have been asleep maybe a few hours ago, if not for
the late fireworks (from 3 PM until about 12AM) - so,
I am awake and a bit peeved at the scofflaws blasting
many illegal fireworks near my second home in the city.
(Normally, I live in a mostly quiet and beautiful mountain
area that is very Alaska; the largest city is not so nice.)
Back to your inquiry; if you start up in SafeBoot (hold
shift key down until you get Login screen and it says
SafeBoot; then login) and repair disk permissions
before installing the Combo 10.4.11 update, as a
standalone download file with the package on the
desktop; it should work.
Whether or not it would actually resolve the issue is
yet another matter. There could be an underlying
problem which may be better resolved if you could
make a bootable complete computer drive clone
of the hard disk drive contents, and either see if
a third party utility can scan and fix the hard disk
drive (if it is the problem) or you could get a new
one; and then -either way- clone back the system
onto a new or repaired hard disk drive.

The issues in kernel panics and their resolutions
are generally and more specifically covered in a
few steps that involve troubleshooting; not any
one may be the 'answer' yet the issue may be
solved after trying several things. If the kernel

familiar with the process or need to do this.)
Something to read through & consider carefully:

{There may be some other hardware or ?? cause
behind the kernel panics and so it would be a
good idea to have a clone of your drive's content
on a bootable external FireWire enclosed HDD.
-I like mine, it has its own power supply and is
not reliant on the USB or FireWire to get power
from the computer; which could be faulty...}
Good luck & happy computing!

Security Update 2007-004 will not load

Software updates has encouraged installation of Security update 2007-004 several times. Each time an error message occurs saying a networking error has occurred: timed out (-1001). I am connected to the internet with no problems.
Given that there seems to be so much trouble associated with that particular update, I'm wondering if I can just ignore it, and will I still be notified and able to install future updates?

Hi
I can't explain the network error timeout, but want to reassure you that if you ignore any update, it does not prevent any future update from being offered to you.
You could try an download it separately from
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
and select the third one down, namely,
Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 (PPC) 9.1MB
and when doing the installation allow the process to complete without using any other applications open. Just wait for it to finish.

Prey game not launching after Security Update 2007-004

After applying Apple Security Update 2007-004, Prey (Mac version) is not launching and continuously crashes on my computer. I have uninstalled all game files and reinstalled the game from the original DVD but with no success. Repairing disc permissions, updating prebindings and other usual maintainence meaures are unfortunately not helping. I have an external USB hard disc running Mac OS 10.4.9 without the Security Update applied and Prey works properly when my computer boots up from this external hard drive. It is therefore apparent that Apple Security Update 2007-004 has most probably caused Prey to become non-functional as prior to this the game was working without any problems whatsoever.
Has anyone else expereinced this problem and are there any suggestions?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Contact the game author's site and report it so they can update it.

Airport Problems after Security Update 2007-004

Ever since I've installed Security Update 2007-004 my Airport connection has been dropping about every 15 to 30 minutes. Sometimes Airport will stay connected but will stop working until I renew my DHCP lease (I get the same IP though). When it drops I click on the Airport icon to reconnect but my network doesn't always show up. Sometimes I have to turn Airport off and back on again to make it show up, and a few times I've had to reset my computer to make it show up.
I have a MacBook Pro with an 802.11n card. I'm using two different routers; one at work, and one at home. The work router is a Linksys N router while the one at home is a Linksys G router.
I've tried all the tricks. Repairing Permissions, deleting the extension caches, installing the standalone updater, but nothing is working.

Deleting AppleAirPort2.kext solved the problem for some...

While others had to rollback the AppleAirPort.kext to version...

Installing the Security update 1.0.1 from 5/01/2007 helped others. Reapplying the Combo Update again helped a couple of people.

Security Update 2007-004 v1.1

I thought that I was being a fool after I installed the new v1.1 of the be-deviled Security Update 2007-004. But, IT WORKS JUST FINE on my TiBook G4 running OSX 10.3.9 with a Linksys wireless router.
When I installed the original 2007-004, it trashed my wireless connectivity when waking my book up from sleep, just like it did for thousands of others, as reflected in posts here. I was forced to install and revert to 10.3.9 without any security updates by installing the 10.3.9 comboupdater as suggested by some brilliant users here, in order to restore wireless connectivity.
I called Apple and let them know of the problem (they said that they hadn't heard of any problems......RIGHT......). I kept checking software update until I saw the v1.1 fix was being pushed, and in a blind act of faith, I said a prayer and installed it, figuring I could always go back to 10.3.9 if the new one was still buggy.
I want to tell you that the new one (v1.1) worked like a charm, with a flawless install, and wireless connectivity both on launch as well as on waking up seems better than ever. I DID do a disk permissions repair before installing this updater, this time though.
Though my confidence in Apple has been seriously shaken by this nightmare of the original Security Update 2007-004, this one seems to work just fine in all the tests that I've put my faithful TiBook through since I installed it.

Hi Chuck!
Thank you so much for posting, that the newer version of the SU works so well!
I'm sure it will put a number of users at ease.
I have been holding off on installation, but I will not go ahead with the update.
Thanks Again!
EDIT: I would just like to add that, while installing the update, it is better if one does not use the Mac, for the duration of the install.

Security Update 2007-004 - Won't restart since updating

Like many of you out there I too am having problems with the latest update. (I'm writing this from another computer.) I downloaded the update and restarted my computer. All my start up items crash, finder won't launch, no menu bar at the top of screen, and no desktop items (including my hard drive icon).
Programs appear in the applications bar accross the bottom of screen but when I try to launch any programs they just crash.
Wonder if anyone can help? Would be much appreciated.

Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 Problem

There seems to be a problem in Security Update 2007-004 v1.1
As soon as I installed it my system would no longer shutdown, restart or logout. The finder shuts down, the dock shuts down, the icons on my desktop go away then the system hangs at my desktop picture. It never completes the selected option. I've done the following: reset the PMU, zapped PRAM, reset NVRAM, dumped com.apple.loginwindow.plist (both files), clean installed OSX & all updates, started in safe mode, ran cron scripts, cleared system, local, user and font caches.
I then clean installed 10.4 again from my original DVD. - restart/shut down/log out work.
Installed 10.4.9 combo updater - restart/shut down/log out work
Useed software update to apply ALL patches EXCEPT Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 - restart/shut down/log out work.
Installed Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 - restart/shut down/log out all fail

Let's just clarify the state of things. When you say "clean install", are you telling the truth? Did you wipe the drive - this is a totally vanilla installation, with no third-party applications, nothing in any StartupItems folder, no InputManagers, no Login Items, no nothing?

Security Update - 2007-004 does it Bork iCal?

I have just applied the new Security Update (2007-004) that was released this morning, and since then both my Intel Macs refuse to load iCal, with an exception generated during loading.

I've also downloaded the security update, and when attempting to publish my ICal, I get a little window advising *"Your .Mac account Configuration is not correct. Calendar could not be published. Your .Mac account information is not correct. You cannot publish to .Mac until you have configured your .mac account" and below are 2 buttons marked 'Cancel' and 'Open .Mac Preferences*'.
When I click on 'Open .Mac preferences' I get the System Preferences pane for .Mac accounts which is of no use whatsoever because it gives me the choice of opening an account which I already have.
What I need to know is, how do I configure my account when there are no clues as to how to do it.

Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 did not fix connectivity after sleep

I installed the new security update (2007-004 v1.1) which was supposed to fix airport cards from disconnecting from their wireless network after sleep...but it didn't fix the problem. Is anyone else STILL having trouble?

I was having the same problem with connectivity after sleep, but once I used the Security Update 2007-004 v1.1 I no longer that THAT problem, but now I have another,....
in MAIL, there is definitely a 'long' pause before graphics are displayed. Or while using Safari, the text for a new page will display fairly quickly, but again there is a 'long' pause before the graphics show up. I am comparing the time before the first 2007-004 update and now. Before, the graphics downloaded fairly quickly. In the MAIL program, just clicking on an email caused the graphics to appear, in fact, they were just THERE. But now, again there is that longish pause before they appear.
Has this happened to anyone else? And ideas what I can do?

Security Update 2007-004: Be advised of FTP access turned off

After installing security update 2007-004, I could not get either of my Nikon D2Xs to upload photos to my computer via their WT-1 wireless transmitters. I spent hours troubleshooting the problem. It turned out that FTP access in the Sharing system preferences panel had been turned off which disallowed the camera to transmit the photos to a designated folder on my MBP. I wish I had checked that earlier.

I noticed that too, and it's not limited to MBPs or even Intel Macs: it happened on my dual 1 GHz PowerMac G4. Look on the bright side: at least the update didn't turn on any service you wanted off.

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?

Mail (and Safari) won't open after Security Update 2007-004

I have a PowerBook G4 running 10.3.9. The machine was running fine (I was checking mail, browsing the web) when my weekly scheduled update opened. Per it's suggestion, I installed Security Update 2007-004.
Upon restart, both Mail and Safari will NOT open. The icon for each on the dock simply "bounces" once when clicked then nothing else. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? Any thoughts on a fix?

Installing a system update while you continue using the computer as if nothing was going on there is a really bad idea.
Verify/repair the startup disk (not just permissions), as described here:
The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
After having fixed all the filesystem issues, if any, reinstall the Security Update, which may not have been installed properly. It may also be necessary to reinstall the Combo Update for the type of computer and the version of Mac OS X you’re using, unless this is the version of Mac OS X that came with the computer:
Mac OS X 10.3.9 Combo Update
Take a look at the following articles for guidelines on how to properly install system updates:
Troubleshooting installation and software updates
Installing software updates
Basically, you should verify/repair the startup disk before installing the update, no applications should be running while installing it, and you may experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications (not normal applications) installed.
