Security Update 2008-005 for Leopard

Pushed the Security Update 2008-005 packages for 10.4.11 PPC/Intel, and 10.5.4 Leopard systems via ARD 3.2 to appropriate clients. The PPC and Intel pushes went as expected. At the end of the Leopard push caused about 10 systems to black their screen -- the mouse pointer moved and was the only thing visible. These systems had a user currently logged in. The Leopard systems with no user logged in updated and restarted. Had to visit each system and manually restart. The question is: do Leopard updates need to be handled differently than Tiger? Should Install NOT do a restart at the end of the push and then manually restart these systems? I wish Apple would test their security updates to work with ARD a little bit better. If the problem is with ARD, then we need a fixed version.

Hi Bob,
I've been looking for work the last 2 months so I can't attest to the SU2008-005 but, can feel your pain.
Leopard updates do act differently as I'm sure you've noticed. Some log you out while others don't. Most any update can get a little weird if an application is running and decides to hog resources, screensaver starts, even a login or logout occurs. That is why I made it a practice when scheduling updates to push, to Restart the system, then 10 minutes later send the updates out. Of course I would have this happen late evenings when I know nobody would disturb the systems and that I'd be in before most of the system's users would arrive the next day. That way you can check the status of the systems and give them a little extra attention if needed. That is a much rarer occurrence with fresh started systems.

  • Security update 2008-005 for OSX 10.4.

    My mate has an intel iMac running OSX Tiger 10.4. which is now not starting up. This problem occurred as he was downloading the 2008-005 security update yesterday. Any suggestions or solutions on how to get his iMac up and running again please? He didn't run disc utility before-hand. I am sure he will do so in the future , assuming he can the Mac going again.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • Security Update 2008 005 PPC - found "alreay exists" items

    I found these entries in the "install.log":

    ./Applications/Safari.app (version 3.0.4.45231202) was not installed because a newer version (3.0.4.45252200) already exists.
    after installing Security Update 2008 005 PPC. I installed iTunes 7.7.1 at the same time but was otherwise current with Tiger 10.4.11.
    Should I be concerned with these messages or just ignore them?
    Should I install Security Update 2008 005 PPC again but move these files to the trash prior to the install?

    Hi, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I don't think you need to worry. Most likely those Security things were taken care of by you installing more recent Safari updates than some might have on their installs.

  • 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.

  • Security Update 2010-005 for Facetime

    Hi,
    I have downloaded Face-time Beta to be installed on my iMac OS 10.5.8.
    During Installation i get a message that I need to install first "Security Update 2010-005 using software update"
    My software update shows no update required. Nevertheless, I have downloaded all 5 security updates and installed them one after the other, with no problems.
    Still i get the same message that Security Update 2010-005 needed when I try to install the Facetime.
    Can anybody knows a way out of this loop ? or how do I "Inform" the software update that the Security update 2010-005 is already installed ?
    thanks,

    Yes, you'd need to buy it - it's available widely for $29 (Apple store or resellers); you can then update to 10.6.4 - use the combo updater available here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1048
    (updates for an OS are available for free, but you do have to pay for the initial upgrade to another OS).
    Edit: And when you're doing the updates to 10.6.4, don't forget to repair permissions after each update.

  • Can't install Security Update 2012-003 for Leopard

    I can't install neither Security Update 2012-003 nor Flashback Removal Update. The installer says the software cannot be installed on my machine. I am on a G5 (PPC) iMac running OSX 10.5.8. What's going wrong? By the way, automatic software update did not find any updates for me. I had to download the updates manually from Apple's software support page.

    There is no update or removal tool for PPC machines because Flashback won't run or even install on them.
    You should still disable Java in your browsers as some other malware may come along that will work.

    Hey all,
    I've tried both the command line and the GUI versions of software update. No luck. The update downloads and gets as far as a .DMG file, but when unzipping the .DMG there is an error and the image never mounts. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone else get the update to work? Thanks.

    You don't 'upzip' a disk image, you double click it to open the installer.

  • Security update 2008-007: not installing

    I used 'software update' from the apple menu to download this security update of 31 MB yesterday.
    It got downloaded and while installing (during shut down), there was an error message saying i need to contact the manufacturer.
    Also in the window that asks to restart now or later - the enter/return button is not working for selection and it is working only while using the track pad.
    next time when i use the software update, it does not start downloading (looks like the previous downloaded file is still in the buffer) and it straight goes to window asking for restart now or later.
    and the same problem continues.
    should i have change some setting?
    also i tried to download the security update 2008-007 for client INTEL from apple downloads site (around 139 MB). this too indicated an error after downloading.
    the last security update had changed the keyboard backlight set to off. i did not notice it initially.
    later i noticed and wondered if the keyboard is damaged. after going thro the discussion forums, i went to the preferences and found the keyboard backlight not selected. after selecting it, it was okay.
    any soultions please?

    Whoa - slow down there. That update is for Tiger. DO NOT attempt to use it with Leopard. You have to read the large print:

    If you are remiss in applying the wrong updates, anything can happen and usually does.
    Be very careful when doing things manually.
    First, boot into Safe mode and at login screen select restart and let system reboot normally.
    Down the CORRECT security update and install it.
    I believe this is the one for you:

    The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.

    It did that with another page too, but is loading others fine. I am wondering if there is an issue. I may have to downgrade to 3 again, if that is possible.
    I got used to using Firefox because I just upgraded from OS X 10.3.9 and had to use Safari 2.x, which doesn't work so well with the web anymore.

  • Security Update 2008-008 installs old version of Shockwave plugin

    It appears that the recent Security Update 2008-008 for 10.4.x does not properly check to see if a newer version of Shockwave plugin is installed.
    We have Shockwave 11.0.3r470 installed, but the Security Update 2008-008 has installed version 10.1.1.r116
    This results in two version of Shockwave being installed on the system.

    BDAqua wrote:
    Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Thanks BD Aqua, Hello to all.
    What locations are those two please?
    The Shockwave Plugin is at:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/DirectorShockwave.plugin (for Shockwave 11.x)
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/NP-PPC-Dir-Shockwave (for Shockwave 10.x and earlier)
    Support files for Shockwave 11 are at:
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Shockwave 11
    while support files for Shockwave 10 are located:
    /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Shockwave 10
    The issue here is that the SecurityUpdate 2008-008 will install Shockwave 10 even if Shockwave 11 is already present. This results in having two different version installed simultaneously.
    Safari even reports both in the "Installed Plug-ins" report.
    My guess would be that it is not good to have both installed at the same time!
