Microsoft's Security Update kills iTunes if on a Domain Server!

Do You Use iTunes at work? Is your computer logged in to a Domain Server? Did you just update your computer with Microsoft’s latest Security Patch (as of 1/6/06)?
Then you might have a problem. I’m sure that Microsoft will probably figure out a way to fix this someday, but for now, iTunes will no longer function for you in this scenario. The problem is that iTunes needs to access your My Music Folder. If your domain server is set up like the one I use, then your My Music folder resides in you’re My Documents folder, which lives on a Domain Server, not on the computer in front of you. This was not a problem before this patch. Now, something that Microsoft’s security patch did has blocked iTunes from being able to access the folder on the Domain Server.
Now, if you were like me, you updated your Computer Friday with the new security patch and shut it down for the weekend to save out planet’s energy resources. Monday, you powered up your computer and started to work. At some point, you thought you might like to hear a tune. You clicked on the iTunes shortcut and BAM! You got a bad message:
No matter what you did, you could not launch iTunes. Don’t even try it, nothing will help, unless you follow the steps below. I should note that these steps were discovered by using Apple’s info at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302398. The problem with their steps is that you can’t even find you’re My Music folder with Tweak UI after the security update if it’s on a Domain Server.
This Discovery is attributed to one R. Crippen. His love for iTunes drove him away from his onus of real work so he could spend time breaking Microsoft’s attempted sabotage of iTunes.
Here we go.
1. Download and install Tweak UI from the Microsoft PowerToys website at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx Note: This utility is for Windows XP only.
2. Launch Tweak UI. In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders. Look in the Folder list in the Right Pane. You will notice that My Music is not in the list. Close Tweak UI.
3. Open Add/Remove Programs and check the box for “Show Updates.” Find the latest Security Update in the list. Select it and click Remove. Reboot after the update is removed.
4. Create a new location where you would like the My Music folder to live. I made an iTunes folder at the root level of my C drive. Put it anywhere you like (not on the Domain Server).
5. Go to your My Documents folder. Copy the My Music folder to the new location you picked for it.
6. Launch Tweak UI. In the column on the left, click on the plus symbol next to My Computer and select Special Folders. Look in the Folder list in the Right Pane. You will notice that My Music is now in the list.
7. Select My Music in the drop-down list. Click the Change Locations button. Select the new location and click OK.
8. OK, now that Windows will be looking in a new location for the My Music folder, Launch iTunes. If everything went well, it works!
9. You’re not done yet. That Security patch was probably put out there for a reason. Update your computer and reinstall the latest security patch again. You can probably find the Windows Update link at the top of your Programs list.
10. Reboot the computer after the update.
11. Launch itunes
12. Everything works! You have an updated computer on the Domain Server and iTunes works again! Yay!
Stupid Microsoft!

I'm still keeping an eye out for more cases like the 2 I've seen myself. I need a bigger testing audience, but I don't think the circumstances are very common.
So, your work computer is on a Domain. Is your "My Documents" folder on your Domain Server or is it on your local computer? That's where the problem arises, when itunes can't access the "My Music" where the itunes folder lives.
Since my "My Music" folder in the My Documents folder was living on a server and not my local computer, something prevented iTunes from communicating with it. I know that the security update was the culprit, because once I uninstalled the update, iTunes worked again.
Hopefully, I can find more cases of the problem just to verify. I just hope that is anyone else runs into the issue, this will help them. If it's a real issue.

Latest Leopard Security Update Kills Photoshop 7?

Yesterday installed the latest security update on iBook G4. Today Photoshop 7.0 won't open, giving an error message that reads, +An unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred because of a program error. Photoshop will now exit+.
Coincidence? It never happened before the update installation. Reinstalled Photoshop...same result. Any ideas anyone? TIA

Apparently, there is a fundamental Leopard/Photoshop conflict, up to and including Photoshop CS2. Here's a thread at Adobe's site:
http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/[email protected]@
This is not a happy situation, and had I known, I would not have gone to Leopard. A message on the above thread indicates Adobe is aware of the problem, but no fixes are imminent.

Recent Security Update Kills Two Finger Scroll

I have been using the two finger scroll option on my Powerbook G4 for quite some time now. After the recent security update I was unable to use it any more. At first I thought it had just reset the settings but when I went to check the box again (under trackpad in settings). I found that the setting had vanished entirely. Does anyone have any idea why this has happened or of any work-arounds that I can use. It seems like another apple attempt at making it's older machines obsolete so that people will by the newer ones. Very frustrating to say the least.
Thanks

iScroll2 might work for you…

Security updates killing a Lombard...

I am currently running 10.3.9 and the last two security updates have instantly caused the machine big issues. I've booted to single user mode and done the fsck -fy a few times and I'm not sure I can come up with the whole history. I think it said "the disk appears to be unrepairable" the first time and then I think "the disk has been altered" and a few more trips around this and Zapping the Pram and resetting open firmware reset-nvram after cmd-option-o-f. After a bunch of this type of stuff... the machine ran fine for 2 weeks until tonight and another "security update" I know... maybe I shouldn't EVER load Apple updates again here? This is old hardware so maybe buying a disk is a good idea... should I do a clean install first?
This is a 333MHz with 384M memory
Ah... while I was getting this info it went down again... This time it chopped into the screen with
System Failure: cpu=0; code=00000001 (Corrupt Stack) I forced quit and then did another fsck and got a Orphaned indirect node temp1522616 then it repaired successfully and booted fine.
There is a non-Apple wireless card in here and the logs seem to mention that last... Lots of stuff... not sure what to tackle first

Hi ZBurnett!
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
Insufficient available space, can cause performance issues, system corruption, and possible loss of data.
Depending on Mac system usage habits, it is a general recommendation, to keep 10% to as much as 20%, of the Total capacity, available at all times.
Review the suggestions, in the documents that I have linked to below.
Authored by Dr Smoke:
Problems From Insufficient RAM And Free Hard Disk Space

Mac OS X 10.3/10.4: System Maintenance, authored by Gulliver
Maintaining Mac OS X, authored by Dr Smoke
Is the Mac shutdown overnight, or does it run 24/7?
Have you ever run any routine Maintenance procedures?
If you turn the PowerBook off nightly, the Background Maintenance Tasks, are never run.
These can also be run, using a Third-Party utility, or manually using Terminal, to run the CRON Commands.
I use MacJanitor, when necessary.
INSTRUCTIONS TO RUN CRON MANUAL COMMANDS
Quit all applications/programs.
Navigate to HD > Applications > Utilities.
Double click on Terminal, to open.
At the prompt, type:
sudo periodic daily
Press Return.
Enter your Admin password when prompted, then press Return.
This will execute the daily script that is sheduled to run every night.
When completed, repeat this procedure, but change the command to:
sudo periodic weekly
This one rebuilds a database or two, and usually takes somewhat longer to complete. It is scheduled to run once a week.
Repeat again, with command:
sudo periodic monthly
Or they can all be run in one pass, which is preferable, with this command:
sudo periodic daily weekly monthly
When the tasks complete, and return to the prompt, you may quit Terminal.
Restart the Mac, and run Repair Permissions.
TO REPAIR PERMISSIONS ON THE STARTUP DISK
1.Open Disk Utility, located in Applications/Utilities, and select the startup disk in the left column.
2.Click First Aid.
3.Click Verify Disk Permissions to test permissions or Repair Disk Permissions to test and repair permissions. (I never "Verify". Just run "Repair".)
When "Repair Permissions" is complete. Quit "Disk Utility".

Security Update killed my mac??

Ok, I ran the update last night that was pushed down, which include a security update I believe. Afterwards, it took many times to get my Mac to even boot up and then Mail would not work, just kept closing and my sound for everything is gone.
I went thru the forums and resurrected my Mail, but my sound is still gone. I have tried all the basic stuff, like mute, power, check cords, etc.
Anyone run into this issue or just know how to fix it?
Please make my screen flash if you respond, since I won't hear you otherwise (gotta keep some humor right?)
Thanks in advance.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Thanks for the star
There's no harm in verifying the disk with Disk Utility (Applications/Utilities) or repairing permissions before doing the update, make sure you repair permissions after it though. Make sure you do the v1.1 Combo Update, here's the link:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx10410comboupdat ev11intel.html (presuming you're Intel)
What about System Preferences>Sound, anything in there that could be the problem?

Security update kills Squirrelmail?

Since installing the security update this AM I cannot read any mail in Squirrelmail on my server. I can log in, but read_body.php fails with a timeout. I suspect it is something in the mod_php module that is listed in the update.
Anyone else having this problem?
Mike

Looks like the newest security update contains a change that might fix the problem.
As a side note, I installed a dev version of 1.5 and the problem went away (previous to Security update 2006 002)(when it failed I was using version 1.45)

Acrobat Security Updates kill Distiller Watched Folders and Font Locations

We are finding that the usual security and other updates for
Acrobat Professional Version 7 and above are causing the Distiller
to lose specific custom settings in Watched Folders and Font
Locations. Does anyone else encounter these problems? If so, does
Adobe know about this? It's quite inconvenient, especially if you
have set up custom Distiller profiles for 50 plus machines.
JohnyB

Hello JohnyBGud!
Thanks for your post, and for your feedback.
Your post is appreciated, but unfortunately not in the proper
place for the right people to listen!
I am not sure if the Acrobat team is aware of this, but would
suggest you place this post somewhere in the Acrobat forums, so
that the Acrobat team can view it.
These forums are specific to the
Acrobat.com website and its set of hosted services, and do
not cover the Acrobat family of desktop products.

Has anyone else seen this? I note from the release notes:
perl
CVE-ID: CVE-2005-4217
Available for: Mac OS X v10.3.9, Mac OS X Server v10.3.9
Impact: Perl programs may fail to drop privileges
Description: When a perl program running as root attempts to switch to another user ID, the operation may fail without notification to the program. This may cause a program to continue to run with root privileges, assuming they have been dropped. This can cause security issues in third-party tools. This update addresses the issue by preventing such applications from continuing if the operation fails. This issue does not affect Mac OS X v10.4 or later systems. Credit to Jason Self for reporting this issue.
Any advice would be most appreciated.
Cheers,

The update prevents spamd to run as the default user "nobody". Running it as root seems to be the only workaround.

Security Update 2006-001 Killed network preferences

After upgrading with the 2006-001 Security Update, none of my network preferences will set up correctly anymore. DHCP doesn't seem to be doing anything, and when I tell it to use a manual address via the system preferences, it appears that it's not actually doing anything. Mac OS System Preferences will not even detect that I have an ethernet cable plugged in, though if I use ifconfig and route I can get a LITTLE bit of traffic to go out, so I know it's connected and working.
Any one have any ideas on this? Absolutely frustrating because I can no longer work until this is fixed (sitting in an internet cafe trying to figure out what the problem is). I'm running 10.3.9 on a 1.2Ghz 12" Powerbook. I don't remember my Unix days well enough to try to manually set up routes and our DNS settings, nor do I know if the appropriate tools are in Mac OS, but the Apple network preferences are clearly busted.
Is there anyway to uninstall an update?

12" 1.2 Ghz PB Mac OS X (10.3.9)

I had the same Network & Airport issue after installing Security Update 2006-001 on my wife's iBook G3 running 10.3.9 Trying to access our Airport base station wirelessly would inevitably hang as I selected the Airport network.
I noticed that every time I shut down the computer there was a brief showing of the keychain window asking to allow keychain access...this right as the computer went down (no chance to hit the allow button).
Spent the better part of an entire afternoon trying to fix this problem. Then read all the posts here (amazing how many people have problems with this update). Tried to reset permissions - didn't work. In the end, I rebooted the Airport...went into the Airport Admin Utility with my PowerBook to fiddle around...removed our Airport network from the keychain in my wife's iBook...explored other aspects via the keychain access utility.
None of that seemed to work. I also figure I reset the permissions about half a dozen times (with subsequent reboot). None of that was working either...until after one permissions reset & reboot things came good. I got the keychain window, allowed access, and hey presto...online. So far it's been OK for over 12 hours (including after reboot).
What exactly worked? I don't know. "It's a mystery".
One thing's for sure...this update is not going on any of my other machines!
Come on Apple...surely you can do better than send us automatic updates that break our computers and sap our time!

Security Update 2013-003 kills Photoshop CS6 with video

Since updating 10.6.8 to Security Update 2013-003, Photoshop CS6's video capabilities are hosed. If I try to export a video to animated GIF, it pinwheels. If I import a video in the first place, it now takes much longer to do so. Making layers from video frames now gets stuck at the Progress bar and I'm forced to cancel it and/or force quit Photoshop.
Just a warning to those who work with video and Photoshop, Security Update 2013-003 may ruin your workflow.

If you have not already done so, you should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product for a work-a-round if any.

Security Update 2007-600 killed my Mac...

Hi,
Recently bought my G5, installed Tiger and updated to 10.4.9 without any issues.
This evening I (stupidly?) installed Security Update 2007-006, clicked on 'restart', and have had grief ever since.
My system won't boot. I get the grey apple and spinning gear screen fine...next the 'Starting Mac OS X' with the blue progress bar...then it goes to a blue screen, hangs up for awhile, and suddenly I have a black screen with a Login prompt (Darwin/BSD (localhost) (console)). Is that "verbose" mode? Regardless, I have no clue what to do next.
I have already used the Install disc to repair disc/repair permissions, but i still can't get my system working.
I've even tried booting into safe mode, but for some reason, I can't get safe mode to even work. I've tried dozens of times, and all that it does is attempt a normal startup, and makes its way back to the console screen.
I've reached my wits end, can anyone help me? Thanks.

Yes, all of my 3rd party apps. are there, including iLife, which I installed after I did a clean install of Tiger a week ago.
Also, when I first installed 10.4.6 last week, older versions of Quicktime and iTunes were bundled with it. I immediately updated at the time. After the Archive and Install, the latest versions of iTunes and Quicktime survived the "trip back in time".
The only thing that appears to be different is my monitor settings for some reason...
Now I'm just stuck with a 5 GB file called "Previous Systems". lol

Security Update Feb 2 2012 Kills save option in Word 04

I downloaded the security update today for snow leopard, and now I can't save my MS Word documents. When I click the save button, nothing happens. Has this happened to anyone else?

Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
If you have TM, or a option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.
If not, c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions, (do not format or erase!!) and simply re--install 10.6 (doesn't touch files or most programs, but backup files off the machine regardless)
Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8, it should not include the security update at this time (second pass it might show) because it was just released and they might need to pull it. (they need to pull it)
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that installed kext files into OS X, you'll know, they won't work.
If you get gray screen, hold the shift key and update your installed software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

Security update 2012-001 kills adobe creative suite

I just did an update:
Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.2
Security Update 2012-001 1.0
And now none of the applications in my Adobe Creative Suite work. I cannot use the "Open" command or the "Savre" command. Tha applications just quit. I make my living with these programs and am not pleased with Apple. Apple knows Mac people use these programs - that's why we'reMac people!!
I created a new prefs file - no luck.
I reinstalled Photoshop - no luck.
I tried a new user profile - no luck.
Anybody got any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks

Same here. I use Photoshop CS Vers 8. Did security update and *poof*. Constantly crashes when I try to save and save as.
Tried completely deleting Photoshop and all related preferences and folders in the Library. Even tried booting in safe mode. NADA, still bonks out. Looking to see if can uninstall update if that's even possible.
Glad (I think) I'm not the only one.
