Security update 2014-001 will not update

I have a MacBook Pro Retna with a SSD drive running OSX 10.8.5. Software update says I have security update 2014-001 1.0 available for my Mac. When I try to install, it downloads, says to restart, which I do, and then gives me an error message saying the update can't be installed and to contact apple. I have done this several times, with the same result. The system will not accept the update? Checking the updates, the update listed is 2013-003. What can I do. I've even tried running the update from a manual download, with the same result.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main screen.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.
*The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

Security Update 2012-001 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.
Any ideas?

Tried the above suggestions and none of them worked.
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.

Reminder app not working correctly, issue started around Sept. 1,2014. Will not allow me to set date and time for a reminder.

Today I noticed an issue with my Reminder app on my IPhone 5s. Using OS 7.1.2. I called Apple, and the tech didn't know what he was doing and just trying different things.The reminder app will not let me set a date and time for reminder. Finally he escalated the call to a senior advisor who was rude, arrogant and unprofessional. He insisted the Reminder App was updated with the new update of IOS September/October 2013. Not true, the issue just started about 5 days ago August 31,2014. Now there is an additional reminder line for reminder entries that I have to use and have to transfer all my reminders manually from the other part of the app. The feature does exist; if I try to set a date and time for the reminder it appears for 1-2 seconds and then disappears.
Has anyone else noticed this issue?

He insisted the Reminder App was updated with the new update of IOS September/October 2013. Not true
Yes, it is true.
iOS 7 was released 18 Sep 2013. At this time, the Reminders app was updated (with most everything else).
the issue just started about 5 days ago August 31,2014.
Your issue just started but the app was not updated 5 days ago.
Now there is an additional reminder line for reminder entries that I have to use
I don’t understand what this means...
Open Reminders, type the reminder, tap the i at the end, turn on Remind me on a day and enter the date/time.

Media Encoder 2014.1 Will Not Que

Since the recent update to Media Encoder 2014.1 and Yosemite media encoder will not render premiere sequences. Here's what I'm doing.
Opening Media Encoder
Add Premiere Pro Sequence
Click Render
... Nothing happens, it gives me the option to stop, but never actually starts.
I can't quit the application. I must force quit.
When I export from premiere and choose to add to media encoder que nothing happens. Media encoder starts but I have to force quit.
Exporting from premiere works fine.

Ok, I let it run for about 6 hours. This is what it looked like the whole time:
It was working though. When finished:
So that's good, but why won't it show me the progression of the task? I like to know how much time I have remaining and see the preview at the bottom like I used to. I have "Show Que Elapsed Recording Time" checked in pref.
And finally, I still have to force quit.
Further help would be greatly appreciated.

Adobe Muse CC 2014.2 - Will not open a new site or load an existing one, unable to use the program.

Hey - I'm trying to build a new site using the updated Adobe Muse (2014.2 CC). I was able to use it without issue up until this update. Now when I start the program, nothing loads when I select a "New Site". When I choose to load an older file, the program encounters an error and crashes. Currently, the program is not usable at all and I need it to have it functioning. Please help. Thanks

A screenshot of the error when a site is opened. I've reinstalled, restarted.. etc. Thanks! J

SpeedGrade 2014.2 will not send output via BlackMagic Intensity Pro HDMI to my external monitor.

I occasionally can get a few pixels near the left side of the monitor, and 2014.1 would display the lower half of the frame, but now, after the 2014.2 update, I can't even get that much. Premiere is monitoring perfectly. Any suggestions welcome!

I am having the same problem. I am on Speedgrade version 2014.1 currently and it won't output to either of the monitors I've tried. Both are connected via HDMI.
One is a 22' ASUS monitor, which reads "Out of Range" when I connect it to my blackmagic Intensity Pro output. From what I've read this has to do with the frame size coming out of SP being too large for the monitor.
Next I tried to output to a 50' HD TV. I don't get the "Out of Range" message on this one, instead the monitor is black with an occasional flicker when I hover over a clip or an option in Speedgrade. By flicker I mean the screen flashes a garbled purple mess for less than a second, then goes black again.
I'm running the Creative Cloud Suite on a Mid 2012 Mac Desktop with a 2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon processor, 52GB of RAM, and ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB graphics card. OSX version 10.8.5.
Been waiting for this capability for a while, any advice would be much appreciated.

Adobe Premier Pro 2014.1 will not download

I have 4 identical MacPros. RAM, processors, video cards are all identical.
When I ran the update from the Creative Cloud app, all computers updated to 2014.1, except 1 machine. it still had the previous version of Premier Pro.
Thinking that it may be an ID, or preference thing, I completely uninstalled all apps using the Creative Cloud app, and then ran AdobeCreativeCloudCleanerTool to find any left overs.
I restarted the machine, then reinstalled Creative Cloud app, and then used it to download Premier Pro, and it still downloaded the previous version!
I then completely wiped the machine, did a clean install of the OS, Downloaded an installed CC app, then downloaded Premier Pro, and again it downloaded the previous version!!
I know there is probably a very simple answer to this problem I'm having, I hope. I need all 4 machines running the same flavor of Premier Pro. Any Ideas?

Hi Skwent,

Please revert in case the problem still persists.

HT5312 I forgot a security question. and it will not let me use my $15.00 gift card I bought today.

I am trying to use my $15.00 gift card I bought today and it wont let me, because I do not remember 1 of my security questions.

Read the HT5312 page that you posted from, it has instructions for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address on your account then steps 1 to 5 half-way down that page should give you a reset link.
If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use
