Security Update Issues Solutions Required Please :)

I've been having issues since the latest security update for OS 1.5.8. I want to restore my system to a Time Capsule backup but my OSX install disks are for 1.4 and don't have the option to restore from backup, as far as I can see...Help?

hi Auds77, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
<blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>

one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

HT5228 I am running OS 10.5.8 on an iMac. There is no security update issued for this operating system - it only covers 10.6. Is my comuter vulnerable? Do I need to do anything?

I am running OS 10.5.8 on an iMac. There is no security update issued for this operating system - it only covers 10.6. Is my comuter vulnerable? Do I need to do anything?

I'm still not clear why Apple only issued security updates for 10.6 and later. I assume they think we should all update our operating systems or maybe they are just focusing on the majority of users?
Apple has had a long standing policy of only supporting the current and previous operating system releases. Whether they decide to make an exception for even older releases is anyone's guess.
You can send them feedback to express your opinion.
Or does the new Trojan not affect older OS? I'd like to know , if anyone has information.
As far as is known, it does affect older unsupported releases. Disabling Java in your web browser is the current preventive approach (and that is a community derived approach)

Is there a consensus on how to solve security update issues?

hi,
i'm writing to you from a PPC G4 (AGP graphics) that will self-destruct by the time i switch off and (attempt) to re-start tomorrow. i will then need to do a re-install, just to see if i have gotten any replies (grinds teeth to the root). it will probably be my 8 th re-install in the past month. i just can'st takes no mores, Cap'n
<exasperation>deep breath... each time i have done a clean install, zero-ed all data when erasing (7 times over, on this occasion), repaired permissions before and after each software update, and followed every advice i could find via google to pre-empt another "Error: underlying task reported failure on exit" and the inevitable hanging grey screen; i have earned nothing but another Disk Utility report of the same problem. my HD seems to be OK - Disk Utility and Disk Warrior both say it's "verified" by SMART (although i've read this could be no assurance...). it's 40 GB, nothing else installed but NetBarrier; nothing saved on it (just 3GB of OS).
i've searched this forum over the last weekend and come across a diverse range of methods in resolving software update issues. i have tried downloading the security update and safari 3.2 directly from the site and bypassing Software Update- to no avail (but noticed that they are quite larger in MB than via Software Update??).
the one suggestion the intrigued me was installing the update via Terminal. why would this be any different? the worst thing about this is that there is no universal way that'll work for all, just individual solutions for different macs??? could my problem be exacerbated by using the double layer (double the permissions to fix?) of a Panther OS with Tiger Upgrade disk?
when i last tried to resolve the "error" with safe mode, fsck and DU Repair Disk/Permissions, which initially failed, i resorted to Disk Warrior, which re-built the directory, and "fixed" the HD. when i re-tried fsck it said the HD was "ok", but i still had the "error: underlying task..." on DU?
is there an issue with the Security Update oo8 because it's PRIMARILY for 10.5 and not Tiger? why have some encountered this problem and others escaped any seeming conflicts ? is this problem also caused by JAVA updates (there are, after all, 4 updates!)
more importantly, WHAT CAN I DOOOOOOOO?
thank you

looking at your suggestion to check /Library/Startup items in the concurrent thread ("Help needed after installing Security Update 2008-008"), i recalled that the only thing i have in this file system is 3 folders concerning Intego, NetBarrier and Virus Barrier. one of these contains the NetBarrier x4 daemon which has no image, just the apple "pencil, ruler, pen on paper" "A" image. i don't think it correctly downloaded, but this the case in every instance.
i'm running netbarrier x4 10.4.5 updated and downloaded on installation. intego Support says that there should be nothing in my "Startup/Login items". i thought they meant Login items (users>login items) because when i take the folders out of my "/Library/Startup items", NetBarrier fails to "initialize".
intego is now on newtbarrier x5, but they say x4 is fully compatible with Tiger???
my baby maybe getting on, but it's strong enough, i just need to know what's bugging it!

Recent Security Update Issues

After installing the most recent security update, my mac started experiencing problems with SLEEP - computer would hang when energy saver kicked on, failed wake when prompted, monitor wouldn't turn on after sleep.
The only solution was to force shut down and restart.
Permissions. Yes, usually the first course of action is to repair permissions from the install disk ... here's the issue this time ... my computer locks up as soon as the "choose your language screen" appears. Cursor freezes and the keyboard is locked out so I can't even return past this screen. Nothing happens. I can't repair permissions and have to force restart.
Any thoughts? Or, am I looking at an archive and install?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 8gb ram, airport, bluetooth, 30" flatscreen

Sounds like your optical drive or your installation disk is damaged. Call AppleCare to ask for a replacement disk first to see if it is the disk. You can repair permissions though from the Applications -> Utilities folder. You can't repair disk (which is the directory repair) from the Utilities folder Disk Utility.

BIP Desktop - windows security update issue

Hi Wizards,
My PC has automatically installed Windows 7 security updates yesterday. As a result, the BI Publisher Add-In has disappeared from the ribbon in Word (it is fine in Excel though). A similar situation happened in August, where BIP did not work correctly due to another update.
I have already removed and re-installed BIP Desktop (11.1.1.5.0) with no success at the end.
I urgently need the fix, could someone point me to the right place in this forum or somewhere else, please?
Thank you, Peter Subert

Try following the steps detailed in:

Font Rendering Issues-Help Required Please

In the past week, any Google search on Firefox or Chrome (but not Opera) gives me results where the fonts look gappy. Sometimes there are additional dots above the letters. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox from scratch in case an add-on was at fault but even with a clean install I am still seeing the issue. I checked my font settings and do not have any minimum font size set. I have allow pages to choose their own font ticked.
I've uploaded an image where I can see some correctly rendered text and some gappy looking text (not from a Google search but a Mozilla query). It also happens when commenting online sometimes, during typing it will be gappy but it will show properly once submitted. Any ideas for a fix would be warmly welcomed and I can give more examples if that would help. Although it's not Firefox related, I did restore all defaults in Chrome and it didn't fix the issue there either.
I uninstalled the most recent Windows Update since the problem is recent but it didn't change anything. I'm not sure if browsers would even look to my computers fonts.

Security Update Issues

After updating my iMac Desktop with the latest security update, now I can't connect to the internet. Every other computer can connect to the internet, so it is not my network. Is anyone else having issues and is there anything that can fix it?

Same issue.. my post is here https://discussions.apple.com/message/25032610#25032610.

Security update issues for Dreamweaver 8

I've updated my Dreamweaver 8 to the 8.02, but when I open
Dreamweaver it still says "security update available for the insert
flash video command". I'm a newbie to web design/development as
well as this program, but pretty sure I followed the instructions
accordingly. I also get an error when I try to view my tutorial
page that had flash in it. I still have the Dreamweaver 8 disc.
I've been coming back to this off and on for months. Now I really
need to finish building my website. Should I just
uninstall/reinstall the whole program?
Could I have screwed things up by downloading adobe flash
player active x or shockwave? I also currently use adobe creative
suite 2, if that is relevant. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Kim

The update being described to you is unrelated to the 8.02
update and was released after it. Follow this KB article for your

SCCM 2012- Security updates issue

We are unable to find MS13-053 bulletin ID in our SCCM 2012 meta data list while we have already selected Critical updates and Security updates in classification list for Windows 7 and Windows 8 from products list of Software update point component properties.
Please let me know if i have missed something.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
That’s very strange. How about re-run synchronization? Any changes?
If MS13-053 still cannot show up, you could also
download these updates manually, then deploy them.

Shockwave Security Update *ISSUES*

Following the announcement of the vulnerabilities found in the Shockwave web player (http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2009/3134), I updated all of my lab machines. Following the update, when a student tries to access a Shock embed they are confronted with the query attached below.
I don't allow students to run with Administrative priveleges, but they need to be able to access the learning content. Any help here?
OK, I'll answer my own question.
After installing the update (I used the full standalone version), I simply logged out. When a student came behind me and tried to access Shockwave content, the error presented.
The solution?
Once installed, open the browser and go to a page with a shockwave embed.
The installer performs an additional happy dance and downloads "compatibility ... blah, blah".
Log out.
Now users can log in, go to a page with a shockwave embed and not be hassled with the "Run software as..." query.
Why Adobe® decided that one must visit affected content, as well as simply installing a security patch, is beyond me.
Why they didn't tell anyone they need to take this additional step is a *real* mystery.

Unresponsive, thanks for your reply, but it's too little too late in this situation.
I am going to go out on a limb here, and conjecture that the MSI is available separately as an Adobe Distribution Licensee, yes?
Because, when one goes to the normal update page, you are given no choice other than slim or full, nor is mention made of any other option.
Which I agree would have been a better option, had it been made clear, or available, from the very start.
"Adobe's documentation is awesome. /s"
Really? After downloading and popping the install, there is no Read Me, AJAX-ified instructions that open in a browser, or anything else to let someone who has used Adobe updates in the past, or is unfamiliar with MSI distribution, *know* that they will need, as an administrator on a Windows PC, to open affected content after installation, in order to download additional components, to ultimately make it playable for non-admin accounts.
I don't know about you, but that's hardly awesome documentation in my book.
In fact, it's more like byzantine, totally lazy, and more than marginally sadistic.

Email setup solution required please?

Hi, new to blackberry and done a silly thing when setting the phone up, pressed I want to use a work email with a blackberry Enterprise Server. Ok, I admit it, I am an **bleep**, but the question is how can I reset this email setup please. Any help would be gratefully recieved.
Many thanks.

Well, even if you did press that you were on a Enterprise server, and you are not, nothing should have happened since you can't be activated on one.
You need the Personal Email Setup option icon, do you have that?
Do you have a BlackBerry Data Plan enabled on your account with your carrier or mobile provider?
You must, in order to get the RIM push email functions you are looking for, as well as addtional BlackBerry data services such as the internet browser, Facebook for BlackBerry, BlackBerry Messenger, and much more.
So, call your carrier an inquire about having the BlackBerry Data Plan added to your account.
Good luck.

FYI: Getting installers for Flash Player 9.0.151.0 security update

There are different avenues for getting the Flash Player
9.0.151.0 installers mentioned in the recent security bulletin
APSB08-20 Flash Player update available to address security
vulnerabilities.
Most users may have already updated to Flash Player 10, and
any trip to the Flash Player product download center
(/go/getflashplayer) will only provide Flash Player 10. That site
always delivers the most recent version.
If you have installed Flash Player 10 and do not have any reason
to test or use Flash Player 9 then no action is required.
But, if you require Flash Player 9.0.151.0, how do you get
it?
Regular desktop users should follow the advice of the
security bulletin and obtain the EXE and zipped DMG installers for
9.0.115.0 from “Flash Player 9 for Unsupported Operating
Systems” (
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb406791).
The title might be misleading, but the bits have all been updated.
These same installers are also available in "Archived Flash
Players available for testing purposes"
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14266
Anyone needing a version OTHER than EXE or Mac DMG
(enterprises who distribute Flash Player, folks who need MSI or MSP
installers, etc) will have to get the installers from the free
Adobe players licensing program. Any user completing the program
(which has recently been rebuilt from scratch) will obtain access
to the bits once approved. The approval process is very quick.
http://www.adobe.com/licensing/
The licensing site contains bits for both Flash Player 9 and
Flash Player 10. All have been updated to the most recent versions.
Some customers may be using the old licensing site links, and
they won’t see Flash Player 9 bits. We suggest that all
customers request either a new license or a resend of their
existing license to get the correct URL’s.
Again, if you have installed Flash Player 10 and do not have any
reason to test or use Flash Player 9 then no action is
required.

We are currently using Adobe Flash player 9 on Windows XP operating system. We would like to know if Vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash Player 6 Provided in Windows XP, could Allow Remote Code Execution mentioned in Microsoft Security Advisory (979267), is resolved in Flash Player 9? For more details on vulnerability please refer "Microsoft Security Advisory (979267)". I have been wondering for the answers from a week and I have even logged the same in forum which fetch me no result. Could you let me know regarding this.
Since we have security related issue with this please consider this call at high priority.

Tring to install Security Update for Lync Server 2010 (KB2982388) ...patch failed to install

Hi
Idenitfied the lync security update issue below on server....
Worker process exited prematurely. The process will be automatically restarted.
Process: 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft Lync Server 2010\Server\Core\RtcHost.exe' Exit Code: E0434F4D!_HRX! (No Message Text Found!_HRM!).
The KB2982385 has tried to installed and failed 7 times....and as such my lync edge server is down.
Found solution:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44080&fa43d42b-25b5-4a42-fe9b-1634f450f5ee=True
Downloaded patch and then ran lyncserverupdateinstaller...however it doesnt recognise that there is a patch to be deployed or a component to update.
Further running the msp by itself results in:
The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the windows insteller service because thje program to be upgraded may be missing or the upgrade patch may be a different version...
Please advise how i can get this issue resolved.

Hi,
Did you try to download and install the update manually?
Here is a similar case below, it seems something wrong when updating through Windows Update automatically.

Security Update Install Error

Help!!! Software Update keeps telling me that I need to load Security Update 2009-005 (Intel) ver. 1.0, but every time I try to install it I get all the way to the end and this message pops up:
The update "Security Update 2009-005 (Intel)" can't be installed" Sorry, an unexpected error occurred. The Installer package has been moved to the trash. To try again, open the package from the Finder.
I have tried about 20 times and get the same result every time! I cannot go to the iTunes store in iTunes because it says I need version 4.0.5 of Safari, but I cannot load that Safari version because it says I need the latest security update.
Can someone please help me and tell me how to get my stupid security update installed? Thanks, in advance.

Updating
Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
Number one is to make sure you have a bootable clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk.
[Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214]
[Using Disk Utility in Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672]
[Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
[Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
[What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392]
[Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
Repair permissions again afterward.
It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned (e.g., [Permissons repair|http://www.macworld.com/article/52220-3/2006/08/repairpermissions.html] as to necessity. Probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe?
