Security update 2007-005 and airport connection

Please help. I downloaded the security update 2007 005 on my powerbook G4 Friday night. Now I cannot get on my airport. It says there was an error joining the airport network (name of my airport) It gives me 2 options try again
or ok. i have tried everything. I even tried pinging my pc that I am on now to email this to see if I could connect with anything.But the powerbook fails to send any ping. I have rebooted, both the airport and the powerbook--several times. I have looked for information
everywhere about this both in Mac Help on my computer and online and have turned up nothing that can fix this unless I want to reinstall the operating system.
My only conclusion is that the security update did this. I was online (of course) as I downloaded the update and ever since I can not get online with the airport. Thank heavens I have a PC to get email or maybe get help through a forum like this. I have been trying to fix this all weekend. In system preferences /network status it says airport is turned on but not connected to a network when there is one. Any advice?
powerbook g4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

I have a same problem, everything worked fine until I've downloaded security update. My Airport doesn't allow me to connect to my PASSWORD protected network. My PC is working fine. The only way is to be connected to open source. Called Mac support and they blame router (it is not mac's router). Their suggestion is to reinstall whole system (and lose software I payed for) or buy new router (macs????). So I am stuck. The advice by apple support was NOT to download updates!!!!Why on Earth do they have them????

  • Security update 2007-005 and Imovie problem

    Yesterday my macbook automatically installed security update 2007-005. I later opened Imovie HD 6 and found a problem - when opening, the program title etc was shown in the desktop menu but then the last movie I worked on started to open, putting the opening picture directly onto the top left of the desktop over everything else including the menu. The Imovie page then opened on top of this, with a blank Imovie screen. To get the movie into the screen I have to start the movie running. Imovie then seems to work OK but this leaves fragments of the first screenshot of the movie still on the desktop until overwritten by other programs or actions. What can I do about it?

    Hi
    Can you tell people how you cured the problem, so that those who search looking for answers to a similar problem know how to fix it?

  • Mac shuts down after security update 2007-005

    I installed security update 2007-005 and now after going to sleep the mac just shuts down. I have repaired permissions and run DiskWarrior. It just keeps happening.

    Since I have installed security update 2007-003 and 4, DVD player was disabled. now that apple released security update 2007-005, I am now facing more serious issues with the entire system halting (the clock is frozen and the mouse turns into a beach ball... every once in a while)! I am beginning to suspect that the last three security updates need to be avoided at any cost since I have had so many problems with them!
    So, in answer to your question, I would just run a clean install of OS 10.3, and never install security update 2007-004 and 5 until apple assures us that there are no more flaws in the security updates again!

  • Delay when opening Airport menu bar item following Security Update 2007-005

    When I first got this computer, there was one annoying quirk: when I clicked on the Airport menu bar item at the top right, there would be a roughly 1 second pause before the menu actually appeared. I recall hearing other people having the same experience at the time. Airport worked fine, but this delay was really annoying: since you're not sure if the system registered your click, so you click again, but then it registers the second click which causes the menu to disappear as soon as it appears, and you click again, and fall into this ridiculous cycle of fighting the sluggish menu item.
    Before long, this issue disappeared following some update (I can't remember which).
    After installing Security Update 2007-005, this exact same annoyance has reappeared. (I can confirm that the presence of the 802.11n Enabler update has no effect on the problem.)
    Is anyone else noticing this? Is there anything I can do to fix it?

  • Security Update 2007-005 - Cannot find Server under Server  Admin

    After I installed Security Update 2007-005 all my machines began to have problems. I was able to get them all running except my server, it is a PowerMac G4 running Mac OSX Server 10.4.9. When I click on my server in Server Admin it acts as though the server does not exist. I am able to boot to the machine and connect to the shared drives from my client computers. However the web server is not working at all.

    However when i disconnect and try to connect
    with the hostname
    When you say ‘hostname’ do you mean its .local name? or its FQDN?
    the server admin buttons show up
    as little padlocks instead of the normal green. It
    does not let me connect.
    This is intersting! Whats described is not mentioned in any Apple Server documentation that I’ve seen – perhaps someone knows different? I’ve never seen a padlock icon in Server Admin Services list. My experience has been you can connect to Server Admin and it shows green against services running, or you can’t connect but have the server left in the list and all services are red. Workgroup Manager shows a padlock if you are not authenticated to Open Directory node, is this what you mean?

  • Security Update 2007-005 (1.0) Printing & Classic problems

    I installed "Security Update 2007-005" (1.0) on 5/26 and now I can't print on my Brother MFC 9800 Laser Printer or my Canon i960 due to an error. Classic has also frozen. I can't reinstall my drivers due to "errors". I am using OS 10.3.9 on a Dual 2 GHz PowerPV G5. Any ideas?

    Yrag:
    1. Make sure you have a good, up-to-date backup.
    2. Repair Disk Permissions:
    While booted from your internal HDD
    Go to (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility.
    Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left column and First Aid in main column.
    Click Repair Disk Permissions at bottom left.
    3. Download and install stand-alone 10.3.9 Combo Update
    4. Reapir Disk Permissions again.
    Please do post back and let me know how it goes.
    Good luck.

  • Security Update 2007-005 (powerpc) Problems

    I installed the Security Update 2007-005 (PowerPC) on May 31 on my MacBook Pro. I can't be certain, but I think since I installed it I have a spinning ball and can't do much of anything. Like something is bogging it down. It will eventually stop but will start again the minute I do anything... something is just not right. I have tried all troubleshooting techniques but found it is not possible to even try them.
    Safe Boot... It automatically decides to shut down before it gets to the safe boot screen.
    Disk Utility... Restarting off the disk, yes, but when I run the program I get "could not unmount disk"
    Trying to run fsck -y, in single user mode (command s)... I get "Volume is journaled. No checking performed. Use the -f option to force checking.
    I have no idea what to do next. I guess I will try to reinstall my system off my disks. Does anyone have any ideas... please help this is taking up so much time.

    How did you install the Security Update? Did you use Software Update or did you download? Because if you downloaded the PowerPC version, well, you say you have a MacBook Pro which is an Intel machine, not a PowerPC. Software Update would automatically install the correct version for your machine.
    If it dies on Safe Boot my guess is when it runs the Disk Repair function it is encountering problems it can't fix and so it quits.
    To run fsck on a journaled volume you need to use this command:
    fsck -yf
    which forces the file system check. At least this will tell you if it is possible to repair the disk. You might need something stronger, such as Disk Warrior.

  • Question Regarding Security Updates 2006-005 and 2006-006?

    Okay I just noticed Apple Security Update 2006-005 and 2006-006 are available for download. Has anyone had any problems with these updates? I remember the Security Update 2006-001 was a nightmare for me -- Safari was broken after that update I had to do a complete OS reinstall then re-update to Mac OSZ 10.3.9 Panther and I only want to update if the likelihood of any problems occuring is very slim. Anyone running Mac OS X on PowerPC chips (i.e. using a PowerBook, an older iMac, Mac Mini, PowerMac etc) or on Intel chips (i.e. MacBook Pro, the new iMacs, new Mac Mini's etc) with Mac OS X Panther, Mac OS X Tiger etc having any problems with either update?

    (10.3.9 Client) seems to have broken my CS2 Version Cue after loading Security Update 2006-006 via Software Update - 27MB or something.
    Though afterwards all apps (Illustrator 12.0.1, Acrobat 7.0.8, PS 9.0.1 and InDesign 4.0.4) open and run fine, Version Cue disappeared from the Desktop Menu and System Preferences and says it's no longer installed, all this immediately after loading the Update and restarting.
    Two restarts and a Repair Permissions haven't resolved the issue. I've downloaded the stand alone Update and have run that but without any luck. I'd had no history of any trouble with any Security Update prior to this, and have run good maintenance schedules.
    I've not seen any other posts or related issues to mine, so maybe it's just my isolated event?

  • Security Update 2010-005 and WiFi

    After installing the latest security update, I am unable to connect to by my WiFi (LinkSys). I enter the password (which I verified using my MacBook G4 which runs 10.5 and did not receive the update), but the password is not accepted.

  • Mail and Safari crashes after Security Update 2007-006 and update 10.4.10

    I just installed Security Update 2007-006 (Universal) and Mac OS X Update (Intel) 10.4.10 and now neither Mail nor Safari (nor sometimes Microsoft Messanger) will start. They just crash immediately after starting. Safari started working for a short while, but now, again, it won't start either, and Mail has not opened once since installing these two updates without immediately crashing. Does anyone have any idea why that might be so or how I can fix it?

    Hi Barry,
    Thank you very much for your quick answer. I never installed Safari 3 beta. I ran the repair disk and repair permissions from my install DVD, and did it did find and fix errors. I also deleted com.apple.safari.plist as suggested, but neither Safari nor Mail will open yet without crashing immediately (I've also rebooted since doing so). Additionally, I found a suggestion on another website to try installing "Mac OSX Update Combo 10.4.10"--Software Update installed the non-combo version, whatever that means, but the Combo installer app also crashes when I try to start it. Do you have any other suggestions? What other information can I give that could help? These problems only occurred after my reboot this morning after installing the OSX and security updates. Anyway, thanks for your help.

  • Security update 2007-007 and smbd (still version 3.0.10???)

    Security update 2007-007 says it fixes CVE-2007-2446, 2447, and 2407. Yet after installation smbd -V still shows it running version 3.0.10. Does Apple maintain it's own version of the source than Samba.org? I would have thought this version would be at least 3.0.25b ?
    thanks for any insight.

    pdmazz:
    Welcome, again, to Apple Discussions.
    I don't use TextEdit myself, or work much in RTF, so some of your more technical descriptions are lost on me. However, here are a couple of suggestions:
    Try starting up in Safe Mode. Here is what Safe Booting does: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)
    My second suggestion is to use Pacifist to extract TextEdit from the install disk and install it on your computer.
    Please post back with update or further questions.
    Good luck.

  • Latest software update - security update 2006-005 and iTunes7.0.1

    So I installed this one last night and ran repair permissions, but today iPhoto is crashing every time I try to import a JPG file and Safari also just randomly crashed on me. Have reported the bugs to the gods at Apple so let's see. Anyone else?

    I have a different symptom after the latest security update (along with a few other app. updates)
    after update, on restart my screen froze with the grey apple shifted off to the right, the fan started going beserk so I switched off.
    restarted with no display connected and waited until I thought it had got the the end of the boot cycle and reconnected the display (23" apple cinema dispay) and all (so far) seems fine. A bit weird though. Anyone have any thoughts?

  • 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...

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

  • Unable to see PC's on network after Security Update 2008-005

    I just updated our Tiger server with the latest security update 2008-005 and now none of the PC's can see the Workgroup or the server. In addition, the Macs can no longer see the PC's on the network. The PC's can connect to other computers if it was previously mapped. However if we try to connect to the Workgroup, it is denied. Previously one PC's with the Windows Firewall turned on blocked all the PC's from seeing the Workgroup however it did not block Macs. This time viewing PC's is blocked completely and there are no PC's windows firewalls running. The macs can still see other macs and the servers (all Xserve's).

    Issue resolved. It had nothing to do with the update. When I restarted the server it chose an NT computer on the network as the Master Browser. The resolution was to turn off the NT computer, restart the computer and let it pick up one of the 2000 or XP computers as the Master Browser. That worked.
