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.

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?

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.

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?

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.

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

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!

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 - 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 2007-004 (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...

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.

AirPort problem after installing Security Update 2007-007

Help! I installed the security update 2007-007 on my Mac mini os x and now my AirPort is not detecting any signal. Should I backup the system and then reboot? I'm not really sure what to do. I have tried almost everything I can imagine. I checked through the user logs and all was functioning properly until the update installed. All of the settings for the network and internet connect say that they have failed.
Please help! I am not particularly familiar about backing up -- how do I do this? (please spell out for me, I'm really new to mac!)
Thanks in advance

Can't help with the airport problem, since I don't do wireless. As for backing up, these should get you pointed in the right direction:

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?

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?

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
Path: /Applications/Utilities/Installer.app/Contents/MacOS/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.

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.
