Security Updates and QuickTime 7.0.2 - Good idea?

I was about to have Software Update update all of my software such as Security Updates 2005-007 and 008, QuickTime 7.0.2, iTunes 5.0.1, Java 1.3.1, and Safari 2.0.1. But I thought that I should check with this forum first before I did this.
My system is working well right now, will updating things change this?
I've been burned before, if you can't tell.
Thanks,
Sharpstick

I had serious problems with the quicktime 7.0.2upgrade which were solved only when i downgraded to 6.5.2. I basically lost all quicktime functioning after the update. I lost mail & safari function after the 2005-007 update but there is a solution available in the discussions. I have not yet tried the other updates as I too have become very cautious. It's beginning to seem like pcs get viruses & macs get updates.
Good luck

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

Reset everything.. did you do this?
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
If you're already been there, done that, could be a third party app preventing Safari from accessing the web.
Re sync your apps 5 at a time, then test the iPad.

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

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:

Additional Info - after working on this problem for 4 hours, I shut my laptop in frustration and took a break. 1 hour later I opened my mac and the cursor had magically returned. No restart, no power on/off - nothing. Frustration. If anyone else has had this happen and has actually fixed the problem let me know. I'm sure it will reoccur.

I downloaded QuickTime 7.x security update (recommended by my VP), but I cannot run. I am getting the message 'Unknown Publisher', but when I click run, nothing happens?

Hello,
Seems someone from Apple corrected the problem.
I just downloaded a new version, again, due to upgrade to a larger HDD, and the new installer does have Apple name identified.
So try it again.
Good luck.

New Security Update and now apple based programs will not run

I recently downloaded and installed the new security update. I also attempted to download the safari 3.1 update, but an error occurred during download. After restart, iTunes, Mail, Safari, Installer and iMovie will not start (Quicktime will start). The applications from bar and from applications folder will not launch. All third party apps seem to work (I used Explorer 5.2-which I found hidden in one of my folders- to download firefox which I am using now)
I have tried:
-Reinstalling most recent Leopard Update (10.4.11), which fails to even start because Installer crashes
-Deleting preference files
-Using disk utility
-Booting from safe mode and single user mode
-Running repair permissions from prompt screen (command-s)

Latest security update and the disappearance of my external drive

I'm sure you're going to tell me that one has nothing to do with the other, but after running the latest security update, the Iomega MiniMax external drive that's been connected to my TiBook for the last 3 years has all of a sudden disappeared from my desktop.
System profiler sees it, Disk Utilities sees it. But there are a couple of things bugging me:
- I'd never paid attention before, but both the System profiler and DU indicated that SMART is not supported
- When I ran DU (off the OSX install disk) to try to repair the HD, I got the following message:
+Invalid node structre+
+Volume check failed+
(these 2 lines in red type)
+Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit+
(this in bold, red type)
+1 HFS volume checked+
+1 volume could not be repaired because of an error+
I think that was in red, too, but can't swear to it, as I'm totally rattled by now.
Now, there is no system on the Iomega, nothing but precious photos and music (since the original HD on this TiBook could only hold 30 Gb), and I'm at a loss as to why all of a sudden I can't access it. Whenever I've come back from a trip, I just plug the external back in (via firewire and usb), and it would just show up, as if nothing had happened.
Any ideas, any help would be, as usual, most appreciated.
Thank you all.

I realize I'm getting 'way off this thread, but wanted to post back. I brought the Iomega to work, plugged it into my iMac and… nothing. Running DU gave me the same results as posted above. Then, for want of a better idea, I pulled out the install disk for the iMac, started up off that and ran DU.
Guess what? It went through its verifications, came up with problems and then proceeded to repair the external. And that wonderful little orange icon was there on my desktop at startup!
There shouldn't be any difference; my guess is it just happened to pick that time to mount. Sometimes a HD with issues will not mount 10+ times in a row, then, for whatever reason, it does on the eleventh try.
There's a new folder in the Iomega now, called "lost+found", weighing in at a little over a Mb and full of files ending with ".nib". Any idea what those are and if I need to keep them?
Hmmm, Google search turns up this from wiki:
Interface Builder is a software development application for Apple's Mac OS X operating system. It is part of Xcode (formerly Project Builder), the Apple Developer Connection developer's toolset. Interface Builder allows Cocoa and Carbon developers to create interfaces for applications using a graphical user interface. The resulting interface is stored as a .nib file, short for NeXT Interface Builder, or more recently, as a .xib file.
Do you use Xcode?
Another hit mentions iPhone, and another Corel. Don't know what to make of it in your case. Can you open any of the files? Any have same name as your data? Creation dates?
I shall now proceed to back up before reformatting.
Good plan.
And check out the cost of a replacement here (they're a good bit higher than in the States.
Ask yourself what your data is worth, and after it's gone, what you would have spent to have retained it. My guess is the answer would be a lot more than the cost of a HD.
Do I want a SATA?
Nope, TiBook doesn't have that interface.
I liked this model because it also worked as a hub… There are so many flavors out there now!
Indeed.
er, ahem, that's a sheepish "yes".
'Nuff said.
A while back, thanks to you and other forum members, I'd gathered up the courage to swap out the original HD for the biggest one the PB could take, and had always meant to to a "backward" backup of the stuff that was on the external — or copying photos onto CDs. Needless to say, the task got put off until this scare. Won't be doing that again.
I considered myself "lucky" the first time I lost data, as it wasn't too, too important, but it taught me a lesson I've never forgotten.
So, once again, thanks for the hand-holding (you had also talked me through/encouraged me to deal with the tight hinges on the TiBook).
You're welcome. Together with RAM and HD, that was the best thing I ever did for my TiBook.
Love this forum!
We aims to please!

Security Update and then...

I downloaded today's security update on 2 Mac's. My 12" Powerbook went fine...
After installing the security update on my 20" iMac ppc, I am stuck at the grey apple screen with the spinning gear.
Things I have tried:
• I unplugged everything external except for the keyboard and mouse.
• I booted from Leopard DMG and repaired the HD.
• Reset the PRAM.
• Tried starting in "Safe Mode".
I am still stuck at the grey Apple screen with spinning gear...
Is the only thing left to re-install OS (archive install, preserve user settings)?
And if so, do I re-download and install the security update?
Please, any help would be appreciated.

Well, you've probably got to do the restore anyway. I think you probably should try the security patch again, only this time download it and then apply instead of using software update. Make sure that all devices except keyboard and mouse are detached from your machine. Repair permissions pre and post if the upgrade works. If you have Disk Warrior or something similar, run it after you restore your machine but before the upgrade.
Good Luck.
