Security updates 3.6.16, 3.6.17, 3.6.18 failed for unknown reasons
security updates 3.6.16(5/13/11),3.6.17(6/21/11),3.6.18(7/3/11)
failed for unknown reasons. When "details" selected- referred to
Firefox Help.
cor-el...For some reason, my last attempt to update,after posting question & talking with Apple Support-altho no immediate help-seemed to have worked
and the Firefox system says that I am now up to date with 3.6.18. Mozilla-
Firefox said I also needed to update Adobe Flash, which took another hour or
so fumbling around between Firefox system recommendation to download a
version which Adobe said was outdated and Adobe's current update, which is
configured to Mac OSX Snow Leopard 3.6.8, contrary to Mozilla note in front
of outdated recommended patch. Some confusion here.
I had earlier (2 months-approx)uploaded a beta version of
Firefox 4, which was unusable because it ditched all header bars at top of
screens. So I reloaded Firefox 3.6 from a disc made from a friend's computer.
So what is the story now with Firefox 5?
Please accept my grateful thanks for offering a pathway to solve the problem
that I encountered with the failed updates. I will hang on to that email, in
case the system changes its mind on the success of the last download.
Are you recommending that I do a fresh reload regardless? The guy at Apple
Support has recommended that I reload OSX Snow Leopard from scratch- I
have just ordered the discs- since not included when I purchased computer
2nd hand. If I am to consider Firefox 5, how do I get a peek at how it is
configured, how it looks, works, etc.?
Again, many thanks for the timely response. My secondary question is not
quite as urgent, but if you are able to answer it, it would be helpful.

Trying to update iphone 4s to ios 8. Install failed for "unknown reasons". Trying to restore I phone from I tunes, asked for password to complete restore. I enter ITunes password and then iphone lock password and neither is accepted. What password is required?
I think the password it asked is the one that you used to encrypt iPhone backup.

When updating my IOS 5.1.1 to IOS 6 and after the download completed the updating of the iphone couldn't be completed for unknown error and the device froze and all i have now is a black screen with an apple and a meter that shows no progress I can't switch off my iphone or do anything!!!
Hi,
I had a similar problem last week with my nice shiny 3 week old iPhone 6. I noticed the Apple logo was on the screen, but it did not progress like a normal boot up. I restarted the phone, and it showed the Apple logo, then a red screen then cycled back to the logo and kept looping. I got the phone to the iTunes connection stage by keeping hold of the power button and the home button until the apple logo appeared then kept holding the home button. iTunes recognised the phone, and wanted to restore, but this was unsuccessful because the phone would keep looping to the red screen and iTunes failed. After loads of Apple support, I was told it was a hardware failure, and like you I live more than an hour away from the store. None the less, I made an appointment with the Genius bods, and they replaced the phone. They said they had never heard of the problem, but really, take a look at these forums and you will see that it is a common problem and I suspect they are keeping it under wraps...
My issue is that as a disappointed customer with faulty goods, why should i have to stick to an appointment to get it replaced? What other store would you have to do this?
The "Genius" didn't even want to see the phone powered up before offering a replacement... Oh, and it turned out they didn't have the exact same model as a replacement so they were going to send me out of the store empty handed.... I kicked off BIG time, and they very reluctantly gave me a phone from the sales stock, rather than the repairs stock..
Not a happy Apple customer anymore, and I feel the more people who know about the lack of service and customer care the better. They need to get off there high horse and join the real world! -
Firefox stopped updating a while (couple of years) ago for some unknown reason. The button is checked for automatic updates. It was a while before I noticed, so now I've been stuck at v 2.0.0.20 for some time, and trying to manually update from your site doesn't work.
No update available will work, since I missed some. I can't even see what most of the buttons are on these pages of your site. Do I need to reinstall Firefox, as some people have suggested to me, and if so, how do I go about doing that? I'm not particularly computer program savvy.
Thanks,
TaavWhich version of Mac OS are you running?<br />
Is that a OS X 10.2 or 10.3 version?<br />
The last Firefox version that works on OS X 10.2 and 10.3 is 2.0.0.20.
*https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/en-US/
The last Firefox version that runs on Mac OS X 10.4 is Firefox 3.6.28.
*https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest-3.6/
*http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/3.6.28/system-requirements/
Current Firefox versions require a Mac with an Intel processor and OS X 10.6 (Firefox 16 runs on Intel Mac OS X 10.5).

For an unofficial Firefox 17.0.8 ESR compatible version that runs on a PowerPC Mac with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at TenFourFox. -
I got a pop up telling me Firefox 11.0 was available for update. Closed Firefox (10.0.2) and clicked OK. I then got a pop up telling me that the update had failed for "Unknown reason".
I then started Firefox, clicked Help/About and clicked the check for updates button. Result was Firefox is up to date.
What gives?!? Was I punked by a virus or something? I am running Win XP SP3.Updates have been turned off.

Computer will not start after update. Won't boot. Security Update. Grey.
This is a fix that worked for me. 2 times in the past Automatic Software update has corrupted my hard drive.
When installing using SOFTWARE UPDATE the installer for the security update fails, says it has been moved to trash and to try again. Well if you restart, you get a system hang and much sadness.
I tried the usual stuff, booting from CD(osx) and selecting the disk utility from the top menu. But that didn't fix it. Then I ran DiskWarrior, which usually fixes anything, but it didn't this time.
Here is what did work. I checked my other mac to see what the last security update was, and it had the 2009-001 update (worked on that mac). So I knew now that the one that screwed up was that update.
I downloaded that update to my laptop.
I started my iMac (the one that crashed after update) in "target disk mode" - this treats the whole computer as an external firewire disk drive (it's totally safe as long as you don't erase anything) - you start into target mode by holding down "T" key while turning on, leave it pressed until you see a symbol on the screen that looks like a "Y".
I hooked up a firewire cable from the iMac to my laptop and waited until the iMacs Hard drive appeared on the laptop desktop.
Now you can browse the corrupt drive just like a regular external drive.
If you have an external drive with room, this is a good time to back up the entire corrupt drive to a folder on the other external just in case...
But what I have found is that when the installer for the security update failed, it corrupted the file that mac osx needs to read during boot, so it is an isolated failure, but it is always better to be safe.
at this point you are ready to attempt the repair..
On my laptop I ran the installer for the security update I had manually downloaded from apples site. When asked for destination for the install I select the HD for the iMac (or whatever unit has the no boot situation that got corrupted). (note that if you have not renamed your main hard drives, you will have a choice of 2 with the same name). Usually the drive on the computer you are using will be first in line. Rename the drive on the computer you are using before running the install if you want to be sure there are no mistakes..)
Select the disk you want to (re)install to, and let it go. It is a long update, so be patient and let it finish. It should say preparing install, installing, finishing, and optimizing system performance...
When it says that the installation completed successfully you can eject the corrupt hard drive by dragging to the trash to dismount it. Then unplug the firewire cable.
Shut down the repaired (hopefully) machine by holding the power button until it turns of.
Count to ten.
Prepare a celebratory or misery soothing beverage (but keep it in the other room).
Some people like to start in safe mode by holding down shift key while turning on, but I couldn't get it to work on mine...
Turn the computer back on and wait. The boot process will take longer than usual the first time.
If and when you get to login or desktop, go in and run apple disk utility and repair the disk, and repair the permissions.
If it worked, breathe a sigh, do a happy dance. And from now on when mac os says there are updates available, write them down, then go to apples site, download them manually, and install them manually, one at a time from now on, to avoid hassles.
Hope this helps!
Enjoy!Thanks for the post/tips newfocus, hope it helps somebody!

Slow Sleep Wake-Up after Security Update 2014-002 MacBook Air
Hello! I have a 2013 August MacBook Air. I experienced the "screen goes black, hard restart" issue for many months until one of the updates cured that issues, thank goodness. I just updated with Security Update 2014-002 and just noticed it took about 20 seconds for my MacBook Air to wake-up from sleep mode. I was fearful it was back to the "black screen, no wake-up" issue with this update, however when it finally came back up I was relieved albeit very cautious now. Anyone else have this same issue?
Hello macforme
If you are having issues with waking from sleep and slow startup times, then check out the article below. The main thing to try is to reset the SMC and NVRAM as a starting point sort the issue out.

Multiple Errors - G5 Quad/Mac OSX 10.5.8 - After Security Update 2009-006
I'm using a PPC G5 Quad, and after I installed Security Update 2009-006, I began having problems even being able to open project files Final Cut Pro 6. So I had to force quit FCP6, but even that wouldn't close the application.
I figured the issue was probably just with the application, so I manually powered down the computer and only wound up getting two blank blue screens on my monitors when I powered back up.
Powered down again, disconnected power cord for 2 minutes, then powered back up.
Attempted to open FCP6, didn't work, wouldn't quit using "Force Quit."
Opened Motion 3 to create a new project outside of FCP6 - when I selected "Save Project As" the application became unresponsive. Would not quit even when I selected "Force Quit."
To test if there was an issue with other applications besides Final Cut Studio 2, I opened Pages and tried selecting "File->Open." This made the application unresponsive, and would not quit with "Force Quit."
I repeated this test with:
QuickTime Player
Adobe Photoshop CS
Preview
Microsoft Word
Safari
ALL of these applications became unresponsive when I tried using the command "File->Open"
I then decided to try installing Security Update 2009-005 to see if that would help.
Because Safari was locked, I downloaded Security Update 2009-005 using Firefox, then re-downloaded Security Update 2009-006.
After downloading both security updates, I manually powered down the computer, disconnected the power cord for 2 minutes, then re-powered on the computer.
I immediately installed Security Update 2009-005 and restarted the computer.
Once it restarted, I opened up Pages and was successfully able to use the command "File->Open" to open both templates and previously created files.
I then opened FCP6 with no issues, and successfully opened and re-saved an existing project file.
I then re-installed Security Update 2009-006, and re-started the computer according to its prompts.
At first, it appeared that the issues were resolved. I opened Pages and was able to use the command "File->Open" to open an existing template.
I then quit Pages and attempted to open a new Finder window. Immediately I got a spinning rainbow ball and got the message on my screen "System Failure" etc etc, and the last line read something about "Panic" or "System Panic - we're holding here..." or something to that effect. Quite strange.
I'm now in the process of attempting to repair disk permissions using Disk Utility. The permissions that seem to be out of order are with:
private/var/log/secure.log (what and where is this???)
System/Library/CoreServices/Airport Base Station Agent.app/Contents/CodeResources"
various Airport Utilities
Various FrontRow
Various backrow
Several places I don't recognize such as usr/bin and usr/sbin
And internet plugins related to FlashPlayerHow full is the hard drive?

Custom Report - Show Deployed, But Not Installed, Security Updates
I'm trying to create a custom report that will show all patches that have been deployed, but have not been installed for a particular collection. Any ideas?

Clamd fails after installing Security Update 2010-004
A few months ago while running clamav-0.96, I began to get "Assertion failed" notices in my system log. But I applied a PowerPC patch available at clamav.net and that solved the problem. Later on, I updated to clamav-0.96.1 and everything continued running fine until yesterday when I installed Apple's Security Update 2010-004. Now I'm seeing the "Assertion failed" messages in my system log again just about every 10 seconds:
Jun 17 07:55:17 nagxserveg5 net.clamav.clamd[686]: Assertion failed: (ResultPtr

I tried reinstalling clamav-0.96.1 (configure/make/make install) and
rebooted, but that didn't help. And attempting to reapply PowerPC patch, I just
get the message that the patch is already applied. I have had to turn off virus scanning in ServerAdmin/Mail service in order to send/receive any mail. Otherwise, everything fails in virus scanning and just ends up sitting in my Mail Queue.Yes, but you also mentioned that you tried to apply the patch which is not needed
Looks like a freshclam update broke things then. Until they reliably sort it, you can safely rebuild ClamAV using --enable-llvm=no or --disable-llvm (don't remember which one is correct off the top of my head). -
Today, was prompted to install new security update. Did so. Now when click on + to open new tab the words New Tab appear in the tab. But, no dialog boxes appear to type in wanted new URL and no google dialog box appears in the tab area.
Every thing was fine before installed this new security update 20110811165603 into Mac OS 10.6 snow leopard computer.Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delayed response - have been away for a few days over the holidays.
I understand your point about backups and disk permissions. I do have a back up copy and will adopt using the 'verify disk' step in future; so, for me the loss shouldn't amount to any more than the time I have spent, as frustrating as that is. However, I think the point I'd like to make is that doing a disk permissions check is fine for those like me [or others on this forum] since I work in a hi-tech industry, and have worked in a Unix/Linux environment for the last ~20 years so understand about permissions etc. , but I know people with Macs for whom the key advantage is that the they largely 'manage themselves' seamlessly. So, if the verify step is simply a pushbutton check-then-repair step and omitting it can lead to such fatal errors, then why can't it be built into the update script as the first automatic step ? What I mean is; my computer reached this unusable state simply by pressing 'ok' on a planned update, so to the average-Joe user it looks like a 'stop and catch fire mode'.
For info: I have now used Disk Warrior, which is reporting a disk malfunction, but can recover the user data. It seems to be a remarkable coincidence though, because there were no system problems exhibited before the update. -
HT1222 The Safari update (Dec 3) is still listed on the Apple security updates page.
The Safari update (Dec 3) is still listed on the Apple security updates page, but is not actually available. How will we know when this issue is resolved if Apple does not keep this page current?
Actually that doesn't tell you what the packages are, it just says OS X Security Update as a single item.
It then offers a link for more information which brings us to this page:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1222
The page is very poorly designed. This is what I'm posting about.
I'm seeing Windows Vista updates, Apple TV, Leopard, Lion. Things from 2008.
It would be a trivial matter to instead link directly to the this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5130
that's the actual thing being installed, that's what I want to see.
I mean they might as well just link here: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Security+Update+2012-001
LOL, that didn't even work. Google search for the specific package results in:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1489
which links back to the HT1222 page which is the list of EVERYTHING.
> If you want more control, there is a unix softwareupdate utility you can use.
Not for these updates. I can update Dovecot or Apache, but these updates are for core Mac services and tweaks like this:
Apache disabled the 'empty fragment' countermeasure which prevented these attacks. This issue is addressed by providing a configuration parameter to control the countermeasure and enabling it by default. -
Can't Install Security Update 2007-009 With Software Update
I tried to install Security Update 2007-009 on a 10.5.1 G4 system, but the installation fails with an "unknown error". Here are the details:
1) Software Update downloads the file and ask to Restart
2) Get to the blue screen
3) See these messages "Preparing target volume" and "Configuring installation"
4) Get this error message:
The update "Security Update 2007-009" can't be installed.
The installer encountered an unknown error that failed the install. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.
5) Restart
I then deleted the "Security Update 2007-009" folder from Library->Updates and tried the update again, but got the same error.
Any idea what's wrong and how to fix it?
Thanks.I installed Security Update 2007-009 via Software Update and received the following error:
"Security Update 2007-009 can't be installed. The installer could not validate the contents of the SecUpd2007-009 package."
I ran Disk Utility (twice) to ensure that the permissions were in order and received the following report on both occasions:

Permissions repair complete
Regarless, I downloaded the update directly from Apple Support located here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate2007009111051.html
And 2007-009 installation complete without a hitch. I have no idea what is going on with the permissions (any recommendations) but I have not found any other problems since this update was installed.
I hope this helps. -
Security Update 2009-01 Fails to Install

Should I be asking here? I'm not sure if I'm eligible to talk to a Apple representative directly.
Thanks all!I figured it out. I had sym-linked my /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5 to the macports version of Python. Restoring this back to the original 2.5.1 version fixed the problem.
If anyone else is having issues installing this update, make sure you restore anything you've modified (listed here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3438) to the stock versions.
Cheers. -
Security update 2008-007: not installing
I used 'software update' from the apple menu to download this security update of 31 MB yesterday.
It got downloaded and while installing (during shut down), there was an error message saying i need to contact the manufacturer.
Also in the window that asks to restart now or later - the enter/return button is not working for selection and it is working only while using the track pad.
next time when i use the software update, it does not start downloading (looks like the previous downloaded file is still in the buffer) and it straight goes to window asking for restart now or later.
and the same problem continues.
should i have change some setting?
also i tried to download the security update 2008-007 for client INTEL from apple downloads site (around 139 MB). this too indicated an error after downloading.
the last security update had changed the keyboard backlight set to off. i did not notice it initially.
later i noticed and wondered if the keyboard is damaged. after going thro the discussion forums, i went to the preferences and found the keyboard backlight not selected. after selecting it, it was okay.
any soultions please?Q8MacNewbie wrote:

Whoa - slow down there. That update is for Tiger. DO NOT attempt to use it with Leopard. You have to read the large print:
System Requirements
Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger
the last security update had changed the keyboard backlight set to off. i did not notice it initially.
later i noticed and wondered if the keyboard is damaged. after going thro the discussion forums, i went to the preferences and found the keyboard backlight not selected. after selecting it, it was okay.
any soultions please?

First, boot into Safe mode and at login screen select restart and let system reboot normally.
Down the CORRECT security update and install it.
I believe this is the one for you:
