Security update 2007-009, address book and palm

Since the security update 2007-009 for Leopard all my address have disappeared from my palm. They are still in address book but no longer sync to the palm (nor do they appear in Palm Desktop). I suspect the update has broken the conduit.
Paul Mackey

However, as I understand it it is not Palm Desktop that is the problem ( I don't use it just opened it for the first time in about 3 years to see if the data loss was consistent) but the address book conduit which comes from Apple. Was going to use Missing sync (actually looked at doing so last week) but I seem to recall it has yet to be updated for Leopard. Correct?

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:

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.

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 2007-009 will not install

I ran the Software Update utility and found Security Update 2007-009. When I tried to install it, it gave me the following error message:
The update "Security Update 2007-009" can't be saved.
You do not have appropriate access privileges.
The Installer package has been moved to the Trash.
To try again, open the package from the Finder.
I am logged in as an Administrator level user, and I tried to re-run the updater, but got the same result. This also happened on my MacBook.
Anyone else having this error? Any resolutions?

Which version? 1.0 or 1.1??
It may already be installed.
Go to Software Updates in SysPrefs and check the list of installed updates.

OS X cannot verify Security Update 2007-009, refuses to install

I keep trying to install the latest Security Update. It tells me to restart, so I do. The computer restarts and it begins to install, then I get a message that reads:
"The update 'Security Update 2007-009' can't be installed. The installer could not validate the contents of the SecUpt2007-009 package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
This has happened about 5 times now. Any ideas?

+The computer restarts and it begins to install+
The restart happens after the install is complete, not before ... it sounds like you might have a corrupt disc image so I'd just download a fresh copy from here (link below) then mount the .dmg file, then double-click on the installer package.

Security Update 2007-009 - Now no sound??

I just installed the freshly released Security Update 2007-009 through software update. I now have no sound at all.
System Preferences informs me that I have no Ouput or Input devices attached. System Profiler, however, tells me I do. I hear the chimes upon startup - so I know this isn't a hardware issue.
Anyone else?? I'm NOT happy!

Security Update 2007-009 breaks Rosetta?

I installed Security Update 2007-009 (10.5.1) two days ago.
Since then not a single PPC application works.
I get:
Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGBUS)
Exception Codes: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE at 0x0000000000000024.
This means that I can no longer use Office 2004 for Mac.
I am assuming that the security update breaks Rosetta since I noticed that only PPC applications are fubar.
Anyone with similar experience?

sorry but you obviously have another problem - just read your post and tried several Rosetta Apps including :
MsOffice Vx
and Corel photopaint 11 (which I deliberately chose because it has always been a touch wobbly)
Both run fine - and my machine is fully patched. So perhaps the post title could be slightly misleading - maybe it should have a question mark because in my experience it isn't a fact. It's a theory which actually turns out to have been incorrect.
One thing I do know is that rosetta is VERY memory intensive. Mine was always a bit wobbly until I put extra memory in the machine but since Leopard it has actually been a lot lot better than it was with Tiger - which is great.

Security Update 2007-009 v1.1 solves crashing

Security Update 2007-009 v1.1 solves my Safari crashing problems. Everything is back to normal.
Happy Holidays everyone!

Safari was randowly crashing on me prior to the 1.1 update. It seemed to happen mostly when clicking on the Back buttom. I installed 1.1 and was researching cars for about a hourat www.kbb.com and Safari crashed again. I've been surfing the same site with Firefox without issue.

Cannot install Security Update 2007-009 "could not verify contents ..."

My system:
Mac Pro dual Quad-Core 3Ghz 7GB Ram
Boot ROM Version: MP21.007F.B06
SMC Version: 1.15f3
When running software update, I get this notice:
The update "Security Update 2007-009" can't be installed.
The Installer could not validate the contents of the "SecUpd2007-009" package. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
I have no phone support for this mac, so "contacting software manufacturer" leave me few options. Google search returns nothing, search on this forum returns nothing, so hopefully my issue reaches someone who can advise me on how to solve this problem. Reinstalling the system software, IMO, is not a resolution.
Thanks for your time

Welcome to Discussions!
I would suggest downloading the Security Update file separately and try installing it that way. You can get the Leopard-compatible version HERE. Once installed, Software Update will stop trying to install it and generating the error message.

Security Update 2007-009"

When I download the Security Update 2007-009 I get the message "Security Update 2007-009 can't be saved. You do not have appropriate access privileges. The installer package has been moved to the trash."
This is puzzling because I am the administrator of the computer. Does anyone know how to approach fixing this?

Now I'm worried. Neither Verify nor Repair disk permissions works. When run, the progress bar says "less than 1 minute remaining" but makes no progress.

Security Update 2005-009(Panther Client) and TextPander conflict

For those of you using Peter Maurer's excellent TextPander, a word of caution. If TextPander is in your Startup Items, when you install the latest security update, there seems to be a conflict. I was caught in a loop after the required restart and couldn't access my account through System Preferences to pull the program from my Startup Items.
I finally got things to work after logging out of my account, logging in another Admin user account I keep in case things get ugly like this, logged out of the second account and logged back in my primary account. This back and forth logging in and out enabled me to access, finally, the Accounts and disable TextPander from my Startup Items.
I have posted in my blog the process for anyone caring to read it in detail.
It could also be the order in which TextPander loaded in my Startup Items that wasn't correct after this latest update but I'm not about to experiment with that! I will load it manually instead. I will also try to email Peter Maurer tomorrow and let him know of the conflict.
Hope this helps someone else.

One thing I forgot to mention: like after each OS software install, I tried running Disk Utility to repair disk permissions. It would not start and I kept having the Beach Ball of Death. It was rather late, so I went to bed last night after I got Mail.app and Safari to work again.
This morning, it's back to not behaving again, even though TextPander is not running. Mail.app doesn't open a window and does not appear in the menubar but Finder says it is running. Safari can't connect.
I did the old log out trick. Ran Disk Utility from the other account, logged out and logged in my primary account and now Mail. app and Safari respond.
I will now run Preferential Treatment to see if it can't spot any corrupted pref files.
Another thing: sorry I didn't post this in the appropriate Panther subforum. It isn't an Installation & Setup problem at all. I was too tired last night to notice where I posted this. So I would appreciate if a moderator could move this topic in the right sub-forum. Thank you.
This might not be a TextPander problem after all...

No MS Office apps after Security Update 2007-009 1.1 (10.4.11 Universal)

On launch all MS Office apps do a "optimizing font menu performance..." at which point they start displaying error messages that "The font [e.g. Adobe Caslon Pro Bold Italic] is corrupt and should be removed. OK". You get an error message font by font for pretty much all the fonts on the Mac.
I haven't taken the time to let it go through the entire list of fonts to see what happens, as it's quicker to launch Word, etc. on a PC and get back to work.

Hi Andrew,
Office will return all kinds of error messages for fonts that aren't really damaged when cache files are corrupt.
Close all running applications. Remove the following files. The tilde (~) indicates your home account.
~/Library/Caches/com.microsoft.browserfont.cache
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office Font Cache (11)
Next, go to the /Library/Caches/ folder and delete the subfolder:
com.apple.ATS
Always immediately restart your Mac after removing cache files.

!!! 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.

Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.

Fields from palm won't go into Address book and vice versa

Hi there,
I'm still adapting to 10.5.5 (I was using 10.2.8 for a long time) and there are little things that throw me off.
The latest bug I've found is that any contacts I've added to my Address Book since I made the switch aren't properly being synchronized to my Palm Pilot.
For instance -- I've added a contact with name, company name, work phone, mobile phone, work email and work address to Address Book.
My palm pilot isn't getting the work address.
Any advice?

If you have selected the Address Book and iCal under the Info tab for your iPhone 3G sync preferences to sync contact info and calendars with and this is not working, try resetting the sync history on your Mac, which is done via iSync preferences with the iSync application located in your Applications folder.
Quit iTunes, the Address Book, and iCal first. Launch iSync and to to iSync preferences. After selecting reset sync history, restart your Mac and try syncing this data again.
When creating a new calendar event, there is a selection for which calendar you want to place the new event in if you have multiple calendars.
If you have multiple calendars, you can select the calendar you want to create the new event in. After launching Calendar, there is a Calendars selection at the top to view all calendars. You can select a calendar to view all entries for that calendar only and for entering a new event for that calendar. Or select All Calendars to view the events for all calendars. When creating a new event with All Calendars selected, you can choose which calendar with the new event entry.
