Security Update 2008-001

Well I did this afternoon's security update like a good little user, and now on the restart all my machine does is sit there and spin on startup. Anyone else? What to do from here? Couldn't have come at a worse time. shannon

I seem to be having a similar problem too ...been searching the forum all day now ....very similar symptom's to those mentioned in this thread and quite a few other threads !!
some have mentioned this problem after installing Leopard , some after Quictime update 7.4.1 then there is this thread and my own ....
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6577383#6577383
This thread appears to be offering a solution ?!

Security Update 2008-001 & iMic

I just installed Security Update 2008-001 and now my iMic isn't working. The iMic is plugged into a USB port. The light in the hub that indicates it is working is off most of the time. Then it flashes on/off for a brief time before going off again.
What should I do to get things working again. Thanks, Fish

fishlips,
You may find the Griffin Product Support site helpful. According to: How do I install the iMic? (Mac)
Turn on your computer and allow it to boot up normally. When the Mac OS has finished loading, plug the iMic into an available USB slot, preferably one of the ports on the computer itself. Don't connect anything to the iMic yet....
;~)

Security Update 2008-001 broke AirPort!

Forgive the lengthy post... I think I already know the answer to this question, but I'm throwing it out there in case others are having difficulty with the same or similar problems.
I have a G3/900 iBook with maxed-out RAM, running 10.4.11. It had all the software updates available in 2007, and was connected to a US Robotics B/G router running in mixed mode. AirPort worked fine under WEP with 128-bit authentication (26 hex digits).
The US Robotics router gave up the ghost and was replaced by a similarly configured Linksys router. Same authentication, same mixed mode. I have two other wireless PC laptops and all were swimming along happily in the sea of data.
Then I updated iBook to Security Update 2008-001. The description in Software Update doesn't say anything about AirPort fixes being included, just a generic "you really need to download this" message.
Now, whenever I restart the machine, my AirPort card connects to my router, but instead of accepting the DHCP settings pushed down by the router, en1 adopts an APIPA (Automated Private Internet Protocol Address). The router's web-based utility shows that it's matched up the MAC address of the AirPort card and assigned it an IP. Doesn't make a difference whether I set it to static or dynamic, I have to restart TWICE, and manually turn AirPort off and back on the second time it boots up, in order for the TCP/IP stack to get it right. The other two Windows PCs, as much of a pain they were to configure initially, have no problem booting right up and connecting to the router.
I have reseated the AirPort card and cable to no avail. When it's connected, the signal is great - I can go down the block with this little white box - so I am relatively sure it's not a short in the AirPort antenna loop. The only configuration item that's changed is SU 2008-001.
Is there anything left I can try but back up my data and do an archive-and-install of Tiger?
Thanks,
Josh R.

I've seen scant evidence of this with some Routers & WEP connections.
Hard to tell which of these files is doing it, but since some files help recreate others, it may be best to drag all of these to the Desktop & reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconnect.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/preferences.plist
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
Then there's the Keychain Access reference to this connection that may need deleting & redoing, and also the plists tied to that MAC addy, which are generally of the form...
~/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.networkConnect.<12 digit number>.plist

Long delays when switching from anything to xterm; Security Update 2008-001

I just updated my computer and rebooted. After it all came up again I opened Safari, selected a url and copied it, clicked on my x-term and it stayed behind my browser! After an excruciating delay of nearly a second, it came up on top. This makes me frequently mark large chunks of text in my xterms by mistake, which of course messes up my cut and paste buffer. I could not believe this so I actually used a stopwatch and it gives me 1.32s between clicking on the xterm until it appears on top.
I can switch just fine between Safari and iTunes, but Safari and xterm gives this behavior. Same with iTunes and xterm. This makes my computer practically useless and I have no idea how to fix it!

Good News!
No OS is perfect, you just get to choose the most important features for you.
PS. Sometimes things do "just work", but we can do little things to increase those odds on our own.

Kernel panic by mini-diplay port caused by 10.8.5 security update 2015-001 10.8.5

After updating Mountain Lion (10.8.5) with Security update 2015-001, my 2008 15" MacBook Pro suffered kernel panic whenever I plugged in a mini-display port to HDMI cable. The issue resolved by reverting to the immediate previous backup, which had Security Update 2014-005 as its most recent update.. I verified that update 2015-001 was the problem by installing in on an archived clean system (10.8.5) which also had Security Update 2014-005 as its most recent update.
Here is a capture of the kernel panic:

Today's Security Update 2012-001 is POISON to PowerPC/Rosetta apps on Snow leopard!

First time I've ever had a routine Security Update cause me problems with OS-X, ever.
Today's Security Update 2012-001 is absolutely crashing my PowerPC/Rosetta apps on Snow Leopard .
Every time to try to OPEN... SAVE or Save as ...PRINT , you will get an instant hard crash.
I still use AppleWorks 6 for all my business correspondence , and have quite a few other PPC apps.
This security update is poison.
Other forums, such as Macintouch , are reporting this. it seems to be affecting almost everyone , regardless of hardware system.
It appears enything and everything PPC will crash , even Apple's own older PPC/Rosetta apps .
SU 2012-001 for Snow Leopard obviously was not tested well, if at all.
Apple MUST fix this ASAP, no matter how much they want to divorce Rosetta and PPC technology for the OS. There is no excuse for dispatching a system software update that has such damaging issues.
I have no need for Lion 10.7 whatsoever , but I do need my Rosetta apps every day... and Apple just crashed them.

Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
If you have TM, or a option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.
If not, c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions, (do not format or erase!!) and simply re--install 10.6
Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8, it should not include the security update at this time (second pass it might show) because it was just released and they might need to pull it. (they need to pull it)
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that installed kext files into OS X, you'll know, they won't work.
If you get gray screen, hold the shift key and update your installed software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

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.

Please help: PPC Tiger 10.4.11, dock crashes after security update 2008-008

I had no problems so far, everything worked great on my iBook G3 PPC 700Mhz 10.4.11 till I installed the latest Apple Security Update 2008-008 through Software Update in System Preferences. After restarting my system is gone crazy. The dock crashes like every three seconds, usually when I click on something, besides that I cant click normally, I have to like click 2 or 3 times to get something opened and also the mouse jumps from one place on the screen to another place on the screen. A security update is ought to fix a problem, not to create a problem. I cant and wont do a new systeminstall, it will take me days to get my iBook back in the state it was a couple of days ago with all the applications and other third party components. Please help me fix this problem to get my iBook back to normal as it was a couple of days ago.
Thanks in advance.

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

Security Update 2008-008 knocks out router

Since installing security update 2008-008 on two computers (MacBook Pro and Power Mac G5, both running OS 10.4.11) earlier this week, my router (Belkin Wireless G model F5D7230-4) no longer connects me to the internet. I also found that my Network preferences had been unlocked and "changed by another application" (or some similar message). It was extremely difficult to get past this message in order to make any changes to these preferences. I was finally able to be quick enough to click on OK on the message and then on Assist Me before the next identical message window returned. From there I could lock Network Preferences. But nothing looks off in the configurations.
Any ideas on getting my router connected again?

Hi CecG, and a warm welcome to the forums!
To stop the pop-up, Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
Try this cure for Security update...

Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Airport Interface...

Mac Mini will not boot after Security Update 2008-007

Hello,
A G4 Mac Mini machine I was asked to take a look at will not boot after the owner (succesfully) installed Security Update 2008-007 from Software Update. Booting always hangs at the blue screen after the Apple logo, and booting in verbose mode reveals that WindowServer is crashing repeatedly. Permissions and filesystems have been repaired, PRAM reset, etc. Safe boot also exhibits the same problem, but it is possible to boot to single user mode. Hardware checks out fine with diagnostic utilities.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Unfortunately, backups are not available (it's not my machine =).

Hi Arkku , and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd certainly give Sig's advice a try first.
If that should fail...

"OK, restart your computer, hold down Command-s and type in the following:
/sbin/fsck -fy Enter
/sbin/mount -uaw Enter
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone Enter
# The rm command is the remove command which deletes the file.
# Robert: I'd rename the file via: mv /var/db/.applesetupdone /var/db/.applesetupdone.old
reboot Enter
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

Leopard Server 10.5.2 hosed after Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 Server

I am running Leopard Server 10.5.2 on a Mac Pro 2x3.2 GHz quad core xeon. I did a software update today which included Security Update 2008-002 v1.1 Server. I did disk verify and permissions repair on as usual before the update. Afterwards, I found that I could not log into my local user account with administrator privileges. I can log in as "root" using the local administrator password. All my users can log in. But all the groups have disappeared, and so have the wikis associated with these groups. The data seems to be there in /Library/Collaborations, however.
This was a simple server configuration with 5 users - I was essentially using only the groups wiki function. The server had no client machines. Its not like I had a complex configuration. I am absolutely mystified - spent an hour on the phone with Apple support and they took all the server logs for analysis. I was wondering if anyone else had this update go wrong in a similar configuration.
I would be very grateful for any advice!

I had the same thing happen. It took me a while to figure out why because I installed the update before the weekend and then came in on Monday and nothing worked. I've searched around quite a bit and found some people had the same problem but haven't found a solution. Right now my server is sitting there useless, even after reverting to a backup before the update.
Did you or anyone else find a solution to this?

Vertical stripes after latest Security Update 2008-004 for OS X Tiger

Hi there,
I'm experiencing vertical stripes and color issues on my PB G4 17 inch screen after the security update 2008-004.
Funny thing is, a screenshot looks fine.
I already resetted PRAM and NVRAM. Didn't help.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks,
Phil

It's probably got nothing to do with the upgrade.
I guess your computer is about 15-20 months old and the serial number starts with W84 or W85.
This is obviously a common problem among these serial numbers, and it starts after about 15 months.
I've got a mint PBG4 17, that's NEVER left the house. Just turned it in on AppleCare repair (32 days left, phew) for this problem.
This number series is assembled in Shanghai in 2005.

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file.

After the latest Security Update 2012-001 (Mac OS X 10.6.8) my Adobe Photoshop CS 8, Dreamweaver 8, and InDesign CS programs crash when I try to save a file. HELP!!!

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

HT5130 Unable to install Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8

Have just tried to install Security Update 2012-001 for Mac OS 10.6.8 and get message saying cannot download. Download stalls at Zero kB downloaded. Dialog says an error occurred during download.
Internet connection is fine and first time denial has occurred.

Looking at all the posts about the deficiencies of this update, you may have just lucked out, especially if you are, like many of us, still running PowerPC programs under Rosetta.
