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!
15" Powerbook G4, 1.5GHz - last revision before the larger resolution screens were released. Running 10.5.1
Help!

chipchipchip,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
I encourage you to start your own thread. We'll try to isolate your problem there. Mention what you have done, which applications you are having trouble with and if you have tried playing through the audio out port. Here's where to start:

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.

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.

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.

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?

It may already be installed.
Go to Software Updates in SysPrefs and check the list of installed updates.

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, 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?

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.

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.

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:

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 2007-5 damaged Powerbook G3-400 Lombard hard drive

Reporting unfortunate, possibly expensive, very time-consuming crash of my Powerbook G3-400 (Lombard) when I installed Apple's Security Update 2007-5 a couple of days ago:
• Logged on as admin user, no other app running (that I remember), but still had USB cables in (they were for iPod - not connected, and for external USB jump drive, connected). OS was 10.3.9, with all updates up to that date. Connected to broadband by Ethernet to switch to cable modem, NOT wireless.
Downloaded, installed, but then during optimization phase got spinning beachball with no progress for over 2 hrs.
• Side comment: HD has 3 partitions: OS X, OS9, and Storage for Users folders. Symlink from OS X's Users folder to actual user folders on the 3rd partition.
• Forced warm boot (Ctrl-Cmd-Pwr), then got nowhere - no OS load.
• Restarted with OS9 CD (no longer have OS X CD, only DVD that does Lombard won't read under OS X): OS X system partition flaky, unable to select it as Startup partition.
• Opened computer, removed hard drive, put it into external case with FW & USB, inspected HD with another FW computer: while OS X partition could be read (at first), running Disk Util showed it was a bad partition, and had to be re-initialized. Lucky I had backed up all non-OS X applications first!
• Re-installed OS X from DVD to the external HD case, applied updates.
• Moved HD back from external case to the PowerBook: now booted OK.
• Disk Util on HD now shows 3rd partition ("Storage") bad.
• However - when went to tighten screws of HD carrier and close Powerbook, lost the HD all over again. Best I can figure out now, somewhere in that process, the orange power/data cable connecting the HD to the IDE/Motherboard quit working (broke?), so I now have a dead Powerbook, until the hardware issue is fixed.
Bottom line: Applying this Security Update led to massive frustrations, frittering of humongous gobs of time (waiting for OS9 to load from CD whenever I tried to test and see if it recognized the internal HDD), and now a dead Powerbook G3. Hopefully a replacement ribbon cable will do the job; although if it's downstream from it (i.e., motherboard connector pins or IDE controller), that's going to be VERY expensive.
Reading this forum and others, perhaps I should have removed the attached USB devices (cable for iPod but without iPod attached, and USB thumbdrive). Also read somewhere that others have had problems with moving Users folders to separate partitions and symlinking to those cause problems with Security Update.
However: wish Apple's Security Updates were better behaved, this experience is making me much more scared of applying any updates in future…

I hear what you are saying.
Let's talk about failure probabilities over large populations. These trends may not apply to your specific case, since you do not have a large sample, you have one.
Of the components you mention, the ones least likely to fail are those that consist only of wires, such as the Hard drive cable. As I recall, it is a flex cable, which is even less likely to die in normal use unless you manage to stretch or pinch it -- it is made to be flexed.
Next least likely to fail is the motherboard electronics. Those drivers and connectors are meant to be plugged and unplugged a few times, but admittedly are not intended for harsh service, and are sometimes subject to zapping by static.
Most likely of all these components to fail is the spinning metal disk whose moveable heads fly much closer to the rapidly spinning surface than a smoke particle, a fingerprint, or a human hair. One good shock, or a few dozen smaller ones, and the head could crash onto the surface of the disk, scrubbing off some of the oxide and spraying it over the inside of the drive to cause more problems later.
If this is the original drive, it was manufactured in about 1999. The manufacturer probably sold the same drive at retail with a one-year warranty. Eight years later it has failed. Even if it is a replacement, it is the most likely the Drives that will fail. Thats why you were wise enough to make a backup.
I expect that the trouble you are having with multiple partitions is an indication that the disk is dying. The way to determine this is to re-write it with known patterns, and read back all those patterns and note which sectors require hardware error correction (to check for errors). A working drive has a number of spare sectors that can be low-level substituted for ones that are found to be bad during this test.
The way to accomplish this feat under Mac OS X is to initialize the drive with the "Zero All Data" option. It will take several hours to complete. If it passes, your disk has all good sectors. If it fails, running the test again sometimes does a second level of substitution and allows the drive to initialize OK.
I do not know your exact situation, but over a large sample, it is more likely that your drive died, and more likely that it is mostly a coincidence that it happened during this update, except that the optimize is known to read and write a lot of data in different parts of the disk.

Security Update 2007-600 killed my Mac...

Hi,
Recently bought my G5, installed Tiger and updated to 10.4.9 without any issues.
This evening I (stupidly?) installed Security Update 2007-006, clicked on 'restart', and have had grief ever since.
My system won't boot. I get the grey apple and spinning gear screen fine...next the 'Starting Mac OS X' with the blue progress bar...then it goes to a blue screen, hangs up for awhile, and suddenly I have a black screen with a Login prompt (Darwin/BSD (localhost) (console)). Is that "verbose" mode? Regardless, I have no clue what to do next.
I have already used the Install disc to repair disc/repair permissions, but i still can't get my system working.
I've even tried booting into safe mode, but for some reason, I can't get safe mode to even work. I've tried dozens of times, and all that it does is attempt a normal startup, and makes its way back to the console screen.
I've reached my wits end, can anyone help me? Thanks.

Yes, all of my 3rd party apps. are there, including iLife, which I installed after I did a clean install of Tiger a week ago.
Also, when I first installed 10.4.6 last week, older versions of Quicktime and iTunes were bundled with it. I immediately updated at the time. After the Archive and Install, the latest versions of iTunes and Quicktime survived the "trip back in time".
The only thing that appears to be different is my monitor settings for some reason...
Now I'm just stuck with a 5 GB file called "Previous Systems". lol
