Security update and mail

hello all,
when i was doing the lastest security update (005), it didnt seem to download properly. I had to click quite a few times, and even had to manually click the restart option at the toolbar to get the computer to restart (recall that this update requires restart?). upon restarting, the screen seemed to indicate that the update was being downloaded. when checking with the software update, it indicates that the update has been downloaded. am i just bring paranoid?
secondly, i am having problems sending emails from my yahoo account to hotmail accounts and some domains. I can send the mails successfully from my iphone using the Mail app but not using Safari to access yahoo website to send. I received spamcop reports twice when i was emailing a local boutique with their own domain but that was in early april. i believe subsequent emails simply disappeared, no mailer daemons, but no replies either. similarly, in this case, the hotmail accounts had no traces of the email, not in their trash or junk or inbox. It's driving me mad because i'm in the midst of sending out resumes. my internet service provider only provides dynamic ips for home broadband. im not sure if the problem is with my Mac, or with the dynamic ips, or the filters that hotmail/other domains have in place to protect spam. i also sometimes cannot view web caches from google because of "suspected" activity.

okay, i've figured out that the mail problem is probably a yahoo problem. but the part about the security update still stands. please??
and by the way, i realise that the os version indicated is wrong, yes it is updated to 10.6.8

    Claudius,either you didn't read my post, or you jumped to conclusions. I had a skype account that was created using a microsoft account (NOT THE ACCOUNT I AM USING NOW). PURE MICROSOFT ACCOUNT NO OTHER ACCOUNT LINKING.I had to change the primary mail of that account.I was told "no can do" by skype support.I found that if I went to account settings and clicked on the link on the line below the one that said "MICROSOFT etc" (labeled something along the lines of "TV or Device") I got the opportunity to set the password of the "live:username" account (WHICH YOU COINCIDENTALLY HAVE TO DO IF YOU WANT TO USE SMART TVs ETC).Once that was done, I COULD SUCCESSFULLY DO WHAT SKYPE SUPPORT SAID WAS IMPOSSIBLE- I could change the primary mail address. once that was done, and NOT BEFORE, I linked the account to a facebook account as well, just to be sure I have more than one way to access the skype account. What caused you to get the impression that I was writing something else? furthermore this sentence - "The solution you described in your initial message isn't actually once since all the time you were operating on different account that weren't actually linked" does not make sense, I think you mis-edited it.and I need to point out that you are incorrect. I WAS NOT OPERATING ON DIFFERENT ACCOUNTS I WAS OPERATING ON ONE SKYPE ACCOUNT, THAT WAS CREATED USING A MICROSOFT ACCOUNT just like you say you recommend. I still don't know how you can misread my initial entry like that.  If you have a better solution to my initial problem - changing the primary mail of a skype account created throuth either a microsoft account or a facebook account, Please write a sticky to explain how to do it, and please inform skype support that Yes it can be done, and this is the way it is done. So far my "lucky shot" seems to be the only way to do it.     

  • Tiger going crazy on iBook G4 with new security update and Safari 3

    I'm running 10.4.11, 1.42GHz PPC G4 with 1.5GB of SDRAM.
    So I ran software update where I noticed new Security Update and Safari update.
    I tried to run the new Safari - Nothing, it's dead, no action! ( could hear hard drive but no action)
    Today I tried running 'Software Update', it's spinning it's wheels, over and over again.
    I'm sure Apple is working on sending me an email, as they got the skinny when the program crashed I forwarded the system message.
    So a bit frustrated hear, I'm using Safari and getting to know Camino.
    The Biggest frustration is that 'Mail' will not boot up so I use my internet to check mail, bummer.
    So lets hope we get some info soon.

    If you are operating behind a proxy server, maybe this will help.
    With regards to crashes from behind a proxy server, I came up with a work around!
    I have been using Automatic proxy configuration using a .pac file. That seems to be causing the error.
    After inspecting the .pac file, and following the if, ifelse path, at the very bottom is a proxy address and port for unclassified connections. Mine looks like this
    proxy.sun.ac.za Port :####
    I have put this into my System Preferences for all connection types, manually. This is found under, System Preferences: Built-in Ethernet: Configure Manually...
    Then you need to go through the box on the left and check each box. As you do so, paste the default proxy address and port in the open boxes on the right.
    Hope this work around helps. My Quicktime is still not working for my older .avi files.

  • Adobe Security Update e-mail

    I have at least one user that has received an "Adobe Security Updates" e-mail from Adobe stating, "A critical vulnerability has been identiied in Adobe Flash Player and Adobe Reader".  I say at least one user because only one user has forwarded this message to my CIO.
    Now I know that my user is not running the latest version of these two applications.  I can fix that.  What I want to know is, why is he getting this e-mail?  Anyone know who at Adobe I should contact to find out why?  Is this because Adobe somehow knows that he's not running the most current version?  Or is it just something that Adobe sent out because it seemed like a good idea at the time.
    I push Adobe Flash Player, Adobe Shockware Player, and Adobe Reader when I install Windows 7, and autoupdates are disabled as part of the installation process.  I'd rather handle the patching myself so I have a better feel for what is going on across my network.
    This user was upgraded from Adobe Acrobat 9.x to 10.x.  That upgrade was performed manually be someone else.  I wonder if THAT is why my uses is receiving this email?

    AHA!  You might be right.  The links in the e-mail point to a page on  adobeupdates<dot>net (I don't want anyone trying to click on the link and getting infected).
    Is that a bona-fide Adobe web site?  I doubt it.  I didn't want to go to the specified page, for fear of infection, but if I tried to go to the main page, I couldn't connect.

    When I try to watch any video clip I get this:
    The version of “Adobe Flash Player” on your system does not include the latest security updates and has been blocked. To continue using “Adobe Flash Player”, download an updated version from Adobe’s website.
    I tried clicking on the Adobe Flash Player.  It said it accepted it but it did not make a difference.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you!

    This did not work

    You haven't actually asked a question, but as stated you should only download Flash Player directy from Adobe.
    Nor have you said what version of OS X and Safari you are running.
    You can check here:  http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/  to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS. Note that version 10,1,102,64 is the last version available to PPC Mac users*. The latest version,10.3 or later, is for Intel Macs only, as Adobe no longer support the PPC platform. Version 11.0.1.152 is for Lion.
    * Unhelpfully, if you want the last version for PPC Macs, you need to go here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html  and scroll down to 'Archived Versions/Older Archives'. Flash Player 10.1.102.64 is the one you download. More information here:  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/838/cpsid_83808.html
    You should first uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/909/cpsid_90906.html
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • I just installed the latest Security update and now I can't open iPhoto. I keep getting a message that it quit unexpectedly because of a problem with the scene kit plugin. I have no access to my photos.

    I just installed the latest security update and now I cannot access iPhoto. I keep getting a message that it quit unexpectedly due to some conflict with the Scene Kit plugin.
    I'm using a Macbook Pro  Mavericks Version 10.9.5

    Probably the reboot used to log into the Guest account and then your account again fixed the problem.  If often will.

  • Have been running version 4 for a week without problems. Today, downloaded MS live security update, and have had problems since. when I click on a favorite site, it takes 20 to 40 seconds before the page load's and the same if I click a link on the page.

  • Security Update and It's A Non Starter =)

    Hey,
    Sorry ahead of time in case this makes no sense.
    I attempted to upgrade yo the new Security Update, and it was optimizing the disk when it just seemed to stop. I didn't realise for a while but it was just hanging. I restarted the G4 to try and get it going again but all that's happening is the Apple logo and spinning thing! I've left it running, tried rebooting in safe mode. I've no idea where to start! Oh and to throw an extra spanner in the works, I'd a DVD in the drive and I can't get it out if I've to reinstall discs! =) uh oh..... If anyone has any advice, i'd really really appreciate it!
    Thanks

    Great! We are glad to hear that the problem is sorted.
    Regarding your question - "What exactly was the problem with the update I dowloaded?" - here are my opinions. Most likely, there was nothing wrong with the download. The conventional wisdom, to which I subsribe, is that there is usually a pre-existing condition on the machine which manifests itself in the way that you experienced. For example, there might be some third party software on the machine which is not compatible with the update. The machine works fine before the update, but after the update, there is a software conflict and you have problems. This is certainly not the only scenario for trouble, but it is one possibility.
    Should you use Software Update in the future? My opinion is yes, unless you want the software on your machine to stay at the current level. But, given your recent experience, it would be useful to take a bigger view and think about what happens if you have some other big problem in the future. For instance, a hard drive could go bad and you might have to replace it. Or, you could have another software problem, not necessarily related to an update, and need to reinstall your operating system. In these situations, what happens to your personal files? They probably will be lost unless you have instituted a backup plan. So, if this is something that you are not doing and you really would be upset if you lost a lot of data, you might give this some thought. There are some good discussions of backup strategies at Backup and recovery. You can also enter "backup" into the search box at the upper right and you will find lots of info.

  • Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates

    I would like to find a  document that would help me understand and clarify Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates versions and relationships.
    Things like. Cumulative Updates include old Security Updates. Cumulative Updates do not overwrite applied Security Updates, etc.
    For instance,
    I am upgrading a server from: 10.0.5512 (SQL 2008 SP3, After Security Update MS12-70)  To: 10.0.5861 (SQL 2008 SP3 CU17).
    Would the MS12-70 (2754849) I installed still be present after installing CU17? The reason for doubt was that I saw another version of MS12-70 that includes
    CU 1 to 7(KB2716435). So makes me wonder about it.
    I am probably not able to explain myself right but, the idea is to find a document that can explain how the build information and versioning works. 
    Some how I have the idea that Cumulative updates would not include Security Updates.
    Thanks beforehand

    Hi,
    Below will give you list of Service packs and Cumulative updates for SQL Server
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185
    http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.co.uk/
    Security updates are for Windows not SQL Server. SQL server releases Cumulative updates after that a comprehensive service pack is released which includes all fixes that were done in Cumulative updates.
    Cumulative updates fix only a certain type of problem(for which they are created) and should only be applied if facing issue
    Service packs are more through and Inclusive and should be applied and contains many fixes and sometimes introduces few features as well. SP are more thoroughly tested as compared to CU For Cumulative
    update from Microsoft:
    We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment.
    This cumulative package is intended to correct only the problems that are described in this article. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing these specific problems.
    This cumulative update contains all the hotfixes and all the updates that were included with the previous SQL Server 2014 update release.
    Windows patch has hardly any relation to SQL server SP and CU.

  • TA21328 I downloaded a security update and now I cannot access my online banking web site.  How do I fix it?

    Does anyone have a quick fix for this?  I downloaded the latest security update and now I cannot access  web page for online banking. 

    It is not asking what part of your country you are in, but what country/region you are in.
    Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
    Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
    Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

  • TS4424 I still can't get my mail to work.I have reinstalled Security update and combo 3 times. About ready to call Apple but mI don't think I should pay for it!!!!

    I can't my Apple mail to work.  It started when I did an up date.  When I went to use mail  (the little stamp at bottom)  it said, "you can't use this version of mail with this version of OS X.  I looked on support and was told to solve the problem  by downloading combo package and security update. Did it 3 times.  I did everything.  Still doesn't work.  I even took everything mail out of applications and the library and did those two updates and still can't get it.  Could I reinstall OS X Snow Leopard and would that affect any of my documents like i photo or i tunes?  I don't want to loose anything!  I have spent way too long on this problem.  I feel like I own  PC with windows again.  Please help!!!!!!    Frustated

    No need to reinstall Snow. Try trashing all the Mail.apps you have. (But don't empty the trash yet!) Do a search for those. Reinstall Mail from the DVD in Optional Installs. This will put Mail 4.2 in Applications, then run the Combo Update, which will update Mail to 4.5, and then the Security Update again, in that order.
