Security Update 2008-003 Intel not installing

I installed MacOS 10.5.3 update successully but the security update2008-003 did not work. I downloaded the intel update and it starts ok until the HD chosen to be installed apperars. Even the Macintosh HD apperas with the red and X circle. What could have happened? Is there an error with the installer?

Security Update 2008-003 is included in 10.5.3. If you have 10.5.3 installed then you have all the contents of the 2008-003 security update already.

  • Unable to install Security Update 2008-003 (Intel)

    Software update found the security update, but when I tried to install it there was some error and the installer pkg was moved to the trash. Software update recognized this, told me it happened and that I should try to open the pkg manually. Still didn't work. I went to the Apple Downloads page, downloaded the update again, and that one wouldn't install either.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Any ideas?

    ok, it took me a while to get disk first aid going. found a bunch of incorrect permissions that needed repairing, but otherwise no problems.
    I wanted to get my new backup hard drive before I started messing with the install disk, so it's been many steps.
    I've got software update trying again now.......
    I think it may have worked!
    tells me I have to restart. =) Yay!

  • Macbook won't boot after installing Security Update 2008-007 (Intel)

    I installed security update 2008-007 (intel) on my MacBook last night using Software Update, but now my machine won't boot at all. All I get is the gray start-up screen with the dark gray apple, but there's no spinning progress bar or anything. After 5 minutes or so, the machine auto-restarts, but again hangs on the gray start-up screen. It does this over and over again until I shut it off. I tried to boot into safe mode by holding down shift right after the chime, but it still wouldn't boot (again, not even a spinning progress bar). Can anyone please help me? I really don't want to lose my photos/movies, etc. I'll backup everything promptly if I can just get it to boot. Thanks.

    Hi jared-lee, and again, a warm welcome to the forums!
    First for safety, "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

    This may or may not fix the problem, but may.
    Do you have another Mac around?

  • Help needed: system crash during instalation of security update 2008-003

    after beginning instalation of security update 2008-003, at the "optimizing system stage", the computer started heating up (to extreme levels) and became stuck completely - except entering and leaving sleep mode when i shut the lid, there is no response i can get.
    what can be the reason of this and what can i do about this?

    Welcome to the Forums.
    Did you repair disk and permissions, before doing the Security Update?... If not.
    Boot from Install Disc,and select your language. From the Menu Bar Select Utilities>Disk Utility
    After selecting your Mac OS X Repair Disk and reboot.
    Then, from Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility, Repair Disk Permissions.

  • Since installing Security Update 2008-004 (Intel) ProTools won't open

    Hello,
    I'm running Tiger 10.4.11 on my mac, and since I installed the Security Update 2008-004 (Intel) every time I try to open ProTools the ProTools icon jumps up and down a few times and then it stops, the program won't open. Are there any similar issues with this update and any other applications? I'm 100% sure the security update is what caused the problem, nothing else out of the ordinary has happened since with my mac.
    Thanks for the help.

    If you still have this problem, and you're using ProTools 7.3, try this Digidesign update here:

    It worked!

  • What next.... (Security Update 2008-003)

    Greetings all,
    I know that there are numerous threads here already about this problem that many of us seem to be having. Mine is similar so I will try to explain with as much detail as I can. Please read the whole post because I have followed most if not all of the advice I've found in replies to this topic and nothing has worked thus far. My desktop (Gigabit Ethernet G4 running 10.4.11) is the unit with the problems, my laptop (15" Powerbook running 10.4) is running fine and has pulled field medic duty in trying to fix this. I've been able to successfully Target Disk the desktop from the laptop and all my files are still there, the bugger just won't finish starting up. I explain in detail below.
    So the other night I downloaded and installed the Security Update 2008-003 via the Software Update pane. All went well, no error messages or hiccups. I restarted the computer as necessary and it gets all the way to the end of the blue progress bar on the "Starting up Mac OS..." stage and hangs. I waited a long time and it still just hung. Sound familiar?
    I know many people have said that this is due to pre-existing problems or messy systems but I run maintenance on mine fairly regularly and it was working strong before the update.
    Here's what I have tried so far:
    • started in safe mode or at least I tried to, i held shift but it still got to the same place and hung up so maybe I didn't hold it at the right time? I held it after the chime until I saw the grey apple screen with the progress clock
    • put my desktop into Target Disk mode and connected to my laptop, I ran Disk Utility and repaired the disk until everything came out clean. Repair/Verify Permissions, however, was grayed out (more on this in a second).
    • Ran Disk Warrior from the laptop on the Target Disk desktop drive. It recognized it and attempted to run a clean up but I kept getting an error message saying it is too severely damaged and can't be repaired. This even after I had run Disk Utility with a clean bill of health.
    • I tried resetting the PRAM several times but it didn't help.
    • started in single-user mode and ran "fsck -fy" per some unix commands I found on the forums. it came back clean numerous times. I also tried running repair permissions via the same screen but the cursor would just jump down to a blank line and nothing I input would do anything.
    • held option during startup to bring up the startup disk selection screen. It loaded but the little stopwatch just spun and wouldn't let me select my second hard-drive as my startup. That would've solved a ton of problems right there as the second drive never got the update and I've used that to fix the first in the past.
    • with the desktop targeted I ran terminal in the laptop and tried the unix repair permissions command from there but it gave me some jargon about the command and a line about ownership of the drive and wouldn't do it.
    • finally, I put my desktop into target disk mode, and started the laptop from the OS installer CD. I ran Disk Utility from the laptop on the desktop and I was able to do both Repair Disk AND Repair Permissions. The disk was fine, the permissions had some fixes but came back clean on a second pass. I figured this would fix it all but, alas, no dice. Still hanging at the end of "Starting Mac OS...".
    Is there something I am missing or anything else I can try? As I said all the files and info are still there because I can get to them just fine via the Target Disk mode, it just won't finish loading the OS. My other issue is that I have a second hard drive in the desktop and the Target Disk mode only mounts the primary drive. The second drive is my backup drive and I need to be able to access it.
    Any help would be greatly greatly appreciated folks, thanks so much!!

    Update:
    I also looked in the system.log file and found this repeated numerous times at the end:
    launchd: /system/library/coreservices/loginwindow.app/contents/macos/loginwindow port /dev/console exited abnormally: segmentation fault
    Below it, this:
    launchd: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping
    Interspersed among the lines about the loginwindow were other inputs, most notably these:
    The following startupitems failed to properly start:
    /library/startupitems/symdcinit
    -execution of startup script failed
    system/library/startupitems/fibrechannel
    -execution of startup script failed
    Again, are any of these files ones that can be trashed and will be rebuilt by the OS when it starts? Or can copies be dragged from my healthy system to the failing one to overwrite them?
    IF you are fully backed up AND the two systems are running the same version of the OS on the same architecture (e.g. both PPC or both Intel) then you could try dragging items from the laptop to replace. Alternatively, you could use Pacifist to extract them from the install disk or from a later OS update where available.
    I would create a directory /Library/StartupItems.disabled and drag the contents of /Library/StartupItems into that folder. Nothing there is critical so disable all of that stuff for now. I would do the same with /Library/LaunchDaemons.disabled and /Library/LaunchAgents.disabled if applicable. Then do the same with any corresponding folders in your user Library.
    You'll still need to replace the FibreChannel item because that's system and presumably important.
    I'm thinking, though, that the number of errors you're seeing probably indicates an archive and install would be the best option.

  • Security Update 2008-005 (Intel) -- DNS Hole patch

    Is it alright to use this update (Security Update 2008-005 (Intel)--DNS hole patch) on an Intel iMac running OS X Ver. 10.4.9 even thought it states the requirement as being 10.4.11?
    Yes I know I can update to 10.4.11 for free, but I have some issues with it and prefer to stay on a very stable 10.4.9 installation.
    Thanks in advance for any insight on this.
    WW
    PS--"Security Update 2008-005 (Intel)" doesn't appear when software update is run, so I would have to manually apply it, which I'm assuming is an option.
    Message was edited by: admonished

    Hi, I'm not certain on this, but I really think if it doesn't show in SWU, then likely it needs something higher first. Usually though, when you try to install it it will stop you if you can't/shouldn't.
    Like iTunes 7.7.1 can't be installed unless you already have iTunes 7.7.0 installed, you can get it, but it doesn't shoew in SWU, nor will it install.

  • Mouse probs in 10.4.11 ppc since Security Update 2008-003

    I have the Logitech S530 mac wireless keyboard/mouse combo running on my Cube with 10.4.11. Its worked perfectly right up until I installed the latest updates:
    2008-05-28 20:34:40 -0500: Installed "Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update" (2.1)
    2008-05-28 20:37:29 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2008-003 (PowerPC)" (1.0)
    Now the mouse rapidly becomes unresponsive, it also will suddenly start acting like you "grabbed" something and start dragging it around the screen, moving the mouse to a spot and clicking in say a web form or something and clicking will not result in the cursor appearing in the box. I wiggle my mouse like mad a few times and it will suddenly start to work again for a few, then out of the blue it will start acting up again.
    I tried reinstalling the Logitech Control Center, and thought it had fixed the problem, but it started up again a little while later.
    Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas on how I can fix this problem?

    Have you tried the usual Disk Utility maintenance?

  • Uninstall Security Update 2008-003

    One of my iMacs (G4) is crashing repeatedly now after installing the Security Update 2008-003. (My employee installed it against my orders, mistakenly).
    Is there any way to un-install this update?
    Thanks

    Have you booted from the installer disc and run Disk Utility to verify, and if necessary repair, the drive? Also repair permissions (can be done when booted from the hard drive). Probably most problems with the security updates can be avoided by performing this maintenance before and after installing the updater.
    It is also a very good idea to back-up your computer before installing updates and even before running maintenance utilities just in case something goes wrong.

  • Security Update 2008-007 Error When Installing...

    I am running a MacBook with OS 10.4.11 and since it's release, I have not been able to install security update 2008-007. It downloads no problem but at the end of the installation process a message reads "an error occured while installing." No details or further info are displayed. I have tried the different links in the forum, auto software update, apple.com, and all multiple times. I've tried the permissions repair, restarting, etc and now I am out of patience and options. Is this a user error, computer error, or program error? Is this update worth the trouble or just wait until the next one? Thank you in advance for any help.

    Try installing while booted in Safe Mode. Maybe something else is running that is interfering.

  • Security Update 2008 007 failed to install

    I just attempted to install Security Update 2008 007 but it reported installation failure. Do I try again or wait for another version?

    How did you try to install it? Via Software Update or from a direct download?
    About Security Update 2008-007
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3216
    It can be downloaded from here:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/security_updates/
    Make sure you choose the correct version for your system!
    Try re-installing it again, but repair permissions first, and don't forget that it requires a re-start.

  • Security Update 2007 006 will not install!

    I downloaded the newly released Security update (Intel) and tried to install it on my 24" Intel iMac. I was immediately informed that my volume "does not meet the requirements for this update" and it refused to go farther.
    Has anyone an idea what is going on here?
    Griff

    Here is what worked for me.
    Run Safari 3.0 installer and choose uninstall. Then, after a restart, either use the Apple software program in Tiger or download the updater for your machine. Either should install.
    Evidently, the Safari installer had already put the fix on my computer, but since I have a lot of time to kill, this gave me the peace of mind that the whole fix is installed.
    Then you can reinstal Safari Beta, if you really want it.
    Personally I am going to wait until Fall and get 10.5.

  • Security Update 2007-009 will not install

    When I try runnng Software Update to install Security Update 2012-001 I get "An unexpected error has occured." at the end of the installation process.  I tried downloading the standalone installer but that fails too.

    I tried an re-install of 10.6 from my system disk and upgrading that.  The combo update fails too.
    I tried wiping the partition and doing a complete restore from a Time Machine backup.  Still same error.
    When I have time I could try wiping the parition, reinstalling 10.6 and using Migration Assistant instead of a straight restore.
    One more thing.  I installed a Boot Camp partition about a month ago.  Could that have something to do with this?
    Thanks.
    Possible some  corruption occured to the MBR section of your GPT,  boot sector virus on Windows?
    Bad Bootcamp updated the GPT wrong perhaps?
    Could be OS X on TM is hosed too, can't trust that then.
    Fresh install it is then, cures all ills. Follow on.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility there to select your entire internal drive on the far left (you got backups right? because all is going bye bye including Windows)
    Next chose Erase and Security option Zero All Data, come back after lunch. this will check the drive really good for bad bits/sectors, takes a bit of time though.
    Next chose Partiton and Option: GUID, format OS X Extended (J) and give it the same name, click apply. This will rebuilt the GPT in case it was corrupted.
    Install 10.6, reboot and update to 10.6.8., c boot off the 10.6 disk and Repair Disk just in case.
    Prefereably you should clone your pristine 10.6.8 install first to a blank external drive, you can always option boot off of it.
    http://www.bombich.com/get_ready_for_lion.html
    You can then  try restore from TM or just go ahead and install programs from fresh sources and just use Migration Assistant to bring your user back.
    If your problems continue after migration assistant, then option boot and reverse clone. how to cherry pick your files off a corrupt TM drive is no easy matter, may need DataRescue $99.
    Far as cloning Windows bootcamp later when you reinstall it, you need the free WinClone on Macupdate.com.
    you should be fully armed now.
    Good Luck.
