Security update 2013-001 broke remote printing

I installed the 2013-001 update on a MacPro (10.6.8) and printing through a shared printer on another Mac (iMac 20, 10.6.8) is no longer possible. The print job is stopped at the client's print queue with a "On Hold ((Authentication required)" status. I have gone through the usual exorcisms (delete printers and install them again through "Print & Fax" of "System Preferences") in both the client and the "server." I have also installed the update in the "server" and the client's behavior has not been affected.
There is no way of entering username and password because CUPS' printer.conf has "AuthInfoRequired none" for this printer. Editing printer.conf (of course, after stopping cups via "sudo launchctl stop org.cups.cupsd") to have "AuthInfoRequired username,password" allows the window to pop only once, will not inform the user if the inputs are incorrect, and will revert back to "AuthInfoRequired none" after that one-time use. (Why? Because the printer is being shared by another machine?). BTW, installing the printer through CUPS html interface ("http://localhost:631") does not change this behavior.
Local printing on the "server" is not affected by the update. Two other Macs (both on 10.6.8) that have not had the update applied have no problems printing through the "server" even though the "server" was updated. This strongly suggests that the update caused enough changes in the network security to break shared printing as we know it.
Anybody else seeing this out there in the wild? If so, any workarounds? Or do we wait for Apple's engineers to hear about it and fix it? Other than reverting to an earlier version of the OS through TImeMachine, I am out of ideas and the possible solutions appear to be above my pay grade. (BTW, is there an official way of deinstalling an update like this one?)
Thank you for reading this far and, hopefully, you can contribute a solution.

If Disk Utility is unable to complete the repair,
Is just one reason to 3rd party utilities which are stronger than Apple's.  When it comes to directory damage, DiskWarrior is the way to go.  No need to use if Disk Utility found "no" errors.  Overkill does not come into play.
If I wanted to load third-party drivers to solve this type of problems, I'd be running another OS.
Unless your printer was made specifically by Apple, all printer drivers are third party.  Apple gets them directly from the printer manufacturer.  As a courtesy, Apple supplies them through Software Update.

  • Security update 2013-001 broke my keyboard

    I installed security update 2013-001 (version 1.0) today, and after the reboot, my iMac doesn't recognize my keyboard any more. Neighter the USB hub functionality is working (my trackball needed to be plugged into another USB port directly to the iMac to be recognized.
    Hardware: iMac12,2
    OS: 10.6.8 snow leopard
    Keyboard model no. A1243 (apple full size USB keyboard)
    I tried different USB ports, and also rebooted, but it still doesn't work.
    I borrowed my colleague's A1242 keyboard (apple small size USB keyboard) which works fine.
    All I did was install the software update. The previous update was Java Update 14.
    Does anybody know what's going on? :'(

    For anyone who has a USB (third party) keyboard: after the security update, the iMac will only recognize it if you follow the screen instructions - press the key to the right of the left Shift key once; after that, the key to the left of the right Shift key (that is the default procedure for Mac OS to recognize plug in keyboards).
    So, it doesn't "break" the keyboard, it just needs to be able to recognize it since the firmware settings were most likely reset to factory default. Not sure if this also applies to a wired Apple keyboard, but it definitely applies to third party keyboards, especially if they are plugged in in addition to an Apple bluetooth keyboard, which is the case with my setup.

  • No Dock no app switching after security update 2013-001

    Been running 10.6.8 very stably for a long time.  Yesterday SW update found Security Update 2013-001.  The first download didn't succeed, second download went and installed okay, without issue.
    On restart (and multiple restarts since), the desktop pattern has reverted to the default space-theme, the Dock is gone, Cmd-Tab won't show or switch among apps, Spaces and Expose are gone, and System Prefs won't fix these.  I can select a desktop pattern, but it doesn't change, can enable Spaces, but it doesn't 'stick', etc.
    I repaired permissions (a few from an HP printer update a month ago0, and the HD verified without issue.  No change.
    What is the best course of action?  Re-install 10.6.8 updater?   Then what??
    -Paul

    Update.. here are the things I've done, with no change.   I really don't understand #2; since the cloned drive was well before these issues, yet all symptoms remain, suggests it's a HW/FW setting somewhere.  Then I hoped zapping PRAM would straighten it out.  No luck.  What gives?
    1)     Ran 10.6.8 combo updater; no change.
    2)     Booted from a drive cloned a week ago, before Security Update: behavior unchanged
    3)     Reset PRAM -  no change.

  • HT1222 Security Update 2013-001 (Lion) may have disabled the DVI on my 17" MacBook Pro

    It looks like Security Update 2013-001 (Lion) may have disabled the DVI on my 17" MacBook Pro ... 2006 vintage ... it worked fine before the upgrade.  Tested port with HD monitor using an HDMI adapter that worked before. Thanks for the help!

    Thank you for the suggestion ... I repaired the disk ... repaired the permissions ... from the CMD+r restore partition ...
    No changes.
    I'm in the process of doing a Software Update scan ...
    Thanks for the suggestion ... hope there might be more ...
    I know these are supposedly never monitored by Apple ... but I can always hope!

  • HT1222 my imac won't install security update 2013-001

    I keep getting notifications about Security Update 2013-001.  I agree to the installation, my iMac restarts, but later I find that the installation has not happened.  What should I do?  Thanks for help.

    Your Tag states you are using Snow Leopard...

  • 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

    For anyone who has a USB (third party) keyboard: after the security update, the iMac will only recognize it if you follow the screen instructions - press the key to the right of the left Shift key once; after that, the key to the left of the right Shift key (that is the default procedure for Mac OS to recognize plug in keyboards).
    So, it doesn't "break" the keyboard, it just needs to be able to recognize it since the firmware settings were most likely reset to factory default. Not sure if this also applies to a wired Apple keyboard, but it definitely applies to third party keyboards, especially if they are plugged in in addition to an Apple bluetooth keyboard, which is the case with my setup.

  • Safari 5.1.8 from security update 2013-001, fyi

    It's been awhile since Safari got an update in SL, but I see it went from 5.1.7 to 5.1.8 with this latest Security Update. Can't find any mention of it in the update notes, but at least it isn't totally forgotten..
    I'm just glad Apple is still updating SL (even if minimal)

  • Security Update 2008-002 Broke Cups/Printing

    This may look like a duplicate topic but read on.
    It seems that there were some "fixes" done to Cups that has now created an issue we had to deal with in 10.4 and 10.3. Sending user names and passwords in plain text as authentication will allow users to print but using the authentication box will just return an NTSTATUS_LOGONFAILURE among other things.
    People have been theorizing that it is Audio Hijack Pro or Air Foil. I have neither of those programs. I have already tried using Pacifist to replace a possibly corrupt pstop file in /usr/libexec/cups/filter/, but this has fixed nothing.
    This is an example of a working print pulled from the console. This is where I have put my password name as smb://name:[email protected]/printername. When I am prompted (yes, unlike 10.4, it will prompt you for a name and password) I put in guest. This is a restricted printer, so guest would not work unless I had ALREADY put in my name and password plain text above.

    This is the same crap cups/OSX pulled in 10.3 and 10.4. This is the same crap that required that we have our users put in PLAIN TEXT passwords. Leopard was AWESOME in that it fixed this flaw by allowing authentication, but apparently somebody's flaw is another's working system.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, I will be rolling back to 10.5.2 in the mean time to see if that works.

    Alright, Guest printing does not work. I have not tried it at home, but it certainly does not at work. Printing to my Windows 2k3 box with a printer hooked up to it via USB and shared does not work anymore as well as this problem of not being able to print to any work printers. I get the same errors as before.
    I will have to get back to you on our samba box. The people that deal with it are out at the moment.
    instead of using Guest, what if you had an account on the PC for the Mac and used that, without creating the smb queue with account details?
    I think you will have to elaborate a bit on that, I am unsure if I understand. I have several accounts on the pc and any one I try will not work. I have tried many different users, test accounts. They won't work if I authenticate as guest, unless I have inputted their information in the samba queue. So, it does print, but only if I authenticate as guest while printing to a printer added with the usr:pwd already in the query.
    What tells me that it isn't a samba server issue, is that my macs at home will refuse to print anymore. If it was a windows update, that doesn't hold water, because a few of our print servers are running on nix (I think solaris, but I could be wrong) as well as a windows based print server. I get the same set of errors on everyone. I would test this out on my 12" PB, but software update on it seems to have broken, so I have no way of checking to see if it has the next update.
    Thank you for ideas and help. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you. As far as your question as to what samba server I am running, lets assume that it's a Windows 2k3 box with file and printer sharing turned on. It has no other quirks about it (I am describing my machine at home).

    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.

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.

  • I just wanted to chip in with my complaint that I just downloaded the Security Update 2012-001 10.6.8, and now non of my Office 2004 apps work appropriately.  I can open existing word documents, but they won't print) etc. When will apple issue a fix?

    While I wait for apple to fix this issue, is there an easier fix to this than using Time Machine to restore to an earlier version?

    Apple just issued an "update on the update" that seems to have fixed the problem (Security Update 2012.001 v1.1, see:  http://tidbits.com/article/12768).  All my Word 94 apps now seem to function properly.  Haven't checked everything yet, but the ability to print has been restored.
    Thanks Apple!!!!

  • Security Update 2012-001 Version 1.1 broke Autodesk Mental Ray?

    I ran Security Update 2012-001 Version 1.1 last night. Now, I can't render using the Mental Ray option in Maya 2011 (Hotfix 3 x64). I had just rendered before I ran the update.

    Hopefully this is a coincidence. If not, then our FIX for the FIX is yet another failure.

  • 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.

  • Security Update 2010-001---   So secure I lost Admin Access!

    I am running a Snow Leopard Server on a Mac Mini (I bought into the dual 500GB model) to host some documents and act as a small cross-platform dropbox for any kind of files that need to be shared over a biomedical research-related network. A little overkill but...
    Anyway today I followed the software update prompt and installed Security Update 2010-001. After restart, I can no longer login as the administrator (or anyone else for that matter). Curiously, I can access it using +Server Admin+ and using +screen sharing+, all with the same old username and password as before. I just cannot login on the mini itself. Any thoughts on this issue? Potential was to resolve it? I have the 2nd drive configured as a Time Machine backup, so perhaps I can rewind to yesterday? Not sure how that works but I guess I can figure it out somehow.

    How'd you regain access to the Mac Mini? I have currently locked myself out in the same fashion, and the only thing I can think of is to reinstall the server OS.. Funny thing is, I'm the only one with access at the moment, and all I did was a simple reboot.. I haven't tampered with passwords or anything of the kind. Why the admin password is suddenly not working is beyond me..
    In the remote server access software, somehow I had inadvertently checked the button that allowed only limited access. The way I fixed it was to go to the Access pane of the Server Admin software, then I selected the button "For the selected services" button on the left and selected "Login Window" and finally clicked the button "allow all users and groups" on the right. This is counter intuitive because you don't want to allow access to everyone, but it will still require local management of the server (eg only those already allowed to login will be allowed after you check the button)
    I hope that makes sense. It solved the problem for me and saved me a lot of hassle.

  • IMac wakes from sleep by itself after security update 2010-001

    Since installing last weeks security update 2010-001, my iMac has suddenly started waking up when it should be asleep. Now I've had Auto Sleep problems with my iMac before, but this problem of finding my iMac running when I left it asleep started immediately after the update. Now, one thing additional I've notice since the update is that I often see the message on the screen "Keyboard Connected" when it always was or should have been and I wonder if this is related to my iMac waking up. Anyone else seen this problem since the update or have any ideas?

    Thanks to you both for suggestions, but I still have the same problem after trying them and as I said in my title this only started after the 2010-001 security update. As a test I put my iMac to sleep at 13:35 and it woke up by itself at 13:46. Here is the console log below, does it help at all in finding the root cause?
