SNAFU - Installed Security Update from Mar. 16 problem

I just installed the Security update that was released on March 16 '06 for PPC, and now programs are doing odd things. I haven't done a complete run through of all of what's not working, however the thing that was immediatly effected was my AOL AIM for Mac. I'm running a Power Book G4 with 10.3.9, and I've never had problems like this before. It only began after I installed the update.
Because this is the first real screw up I've had in nearly two years, I'm essentially clueless in regard as to how to fix it. Because my computer searches for updates on a daily basis and I normally just respond with a quick 'install program' click, I messed this one up. Because I've never had problems like this, I'm at a loss as to how to fix it and/or get rid of it.
What I assume would be the easiest fix would be to get rid of the update, but I don't know how to do that, what to delete/uninstall, etc. Any advice, help, touble shooting, etc? Anything at all at this point would be appreciated.
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Brittany,
It wouldn't hurt to do another Repair Permissions, but I'm not sure it would help, either...
I'll have to research to see if there's a way to undo security updates (I don't think there is, actually).
You may be able to reinstall your last combined OS X update, and then work via Software Update to work your way back to where you need to be software-wise. If you have been using Software Update to automatically update your mac, you probably don't have the full combined update for 10.3.9. Below is where you can find it at Apple. (Note: the full combined update has everything you need to go from the earllier versions of OS X 10.3 to 10.3.9)

Another option: First off, I'm unfamiliar with AOL. Do you have a way of reinstalling AOL, while keeping all your AOL files intact? You might consider doing that to see if it repairs the problem (I'd probably try to do this before doing the combined update install, mentioned above...)
You might hang back on all of this to see if someone gives an easier fix...
Food for thought, anyway.

Problems After Latest Security Update From March 10, 2015

Is anyone having problems after the latest security update from March 10th?
First my screen went from 16:9 to 4:3 and the resolution turned into a blocky 800 x 600. I managed to find a program
online to correct this problem called SwitchResX. It's unfortunately a pay program for 14 Euro. Here's the link
in case anyone needs it http://www.madrau.com/index.html
Now some alias icons in my dock have disappeared, but are kinda visible when I run my mouse over them, their
names pop up, but have no icons in the dock.
Sometime booting up is clumsy with a lot of hang time and I have to restart my Mac Mini manually by pressing
the button in the back to get a clean bootup to my desktop screen.
Could Apple do a fix real soon for this Security Update blunder?
Any help would be appreciated.

I too experienced problems with the keyboard and mouse on this G5, starting about a week ago when I installed the Java Release 6 and QuickTime 7.3.1 updates. The two symptoms I noticed most were slow, jerky scrolling through topic lists in MT-NewsWatcher (using the arrow keys) and difficulty with selecting text with the mouse in Safari (the selection being anchored several characters away from where I’d begin a click-&-drag).
The latest patch, Security Update 2007-009 (PowerPC) v1.1, seems to have solved the problems for me.

Printing problems after installing Security Update 2015-002

After installing Security Update 2015-002 on three separate computers on two different WiFi networks, printers on the network are losing their connections to the computers that can print to them. We have experienced this on a network running a Canon printer and an HP printer - both have disappeared on the network although the printer suggests it is still connected to the network. The same thing has happened on a separate network I manage with a single HP printer on that network. I have tried removing the printers, resetting the printers etc. Nothing is working. I can get one print out of a printer when I turn the printer off and then on. Three minutes later the printer is no longer connected to the computer - although still connected to the network. Please Help.

I think I have figured out that it is in fact the Apple Extreme Base Station that is losing the printer. It is very odd because the printer is connected to the Wifi. My computer is connected to the WiFi and connecting to the internet. The Router for the internet can see the printer. An Apple Extreme is then connected via a network cable in Bridge mode to the router. When I turned the power off the The Apple Extreme and then restored power it all worked. was still working this morning, but again this afternoon I needed to reboot Apple Extreme. It is quite strange that this is happening on two different Networks in different parts of the country at the same time. Maybe the Security Update is somehow affecting/blocking communication with the printer? I just don't know enough. These networks have been up and running with the same printers and computers for years with zero problems - all of a sudden we have the same problem on both Networks.
Any help will be very much appreciated.

I am using Quicken 2007 (16.1.4) and had no problems before upgrading to OS 10.10 Yosemite. When attempting to download security updates from my financial institutions (UBS and Fidelity), I get the following error OL-290. Any fixes?

I am using Quicken 2007 (16.1.4) and had no problems before upgrading to OS 10.10 Yosemite. When attempting to download security updates from my financial institutions (UBS and Fidelity), I get the following error: Quicken could not connect to the server. Please try again later. [OL-290] I understand this is because of a mismatch between SSL certificates at the financial institutions and Apple's SSL certificate included with OS 10.10 Yosemite. Any fixes to this issue?

I have the same problem but Q for Mac 2015 does not meet my needs. Is there a fix for this problem?

Finder(?) problem after installing security update 2008-008

I hope someone can help with this problem:
After I installed Security update 2008-008 the finder(?) has begun to behave irratically.
Whenever the mousepad is clicked, the dock slides off to the left and the click is not registered by whichever application I am in. Mostly menus are affected. I now have to click the application and menu item several times before the click is registered.
Safari is particularly badly affected with the pointer jumping around the screen when trying to copy an url (dock keeps sliding to the left), page back/forward doesn't work - url links within web pages are not recognised. Furthermore, when using yahoo mail, menus like 'send' and 'save' are not recognised.
Any suggestions how to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Andrew

HI Andrew,
This is most likely caused by some 3rd part APP or kext that is now out of date.
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then test your problem there.
Now reboot in regular mode, if the problem didn't happen in Safe Mode, but does in Regular mode, See if there is anything relevant in...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
Also look in in Your Accounts Pref Pane Login Items window.

After installing security update 10.6.8 I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will permit certain root processes, e.g. configd, to receive unsolicited messages from the internet. What are the consequences of denying these requests?

After installing security update 10.6.8 last night I've seen dialog boxes asking me if I will allow incoming network connections to certain root processes, e.g. configd. I didn't see these dialog boxes prior to installing 10.6.8. How do I make informed decisions? In other words,
(1) Where can I find 25-word summary descriptions of these processes?
(2) Where can I find discussions of the consequences of granting or denying these requests?
Alternatively (and at some risk of revealing metaphysical doubt) why am I being asked for these permissions? And who expects me to make correct decisions?
I have turned on th standard-issue OS X firewall and am running my system in stealth mode.

Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open. Have rstrated but no change, need help to fix, please

Just installed security update 2014-002, now Itunes will not open, I have rebooted twice with no effect, I don't know what else to do to get my itunes back. Need help please

Believe I've firxed my problem, at least, ITunes is now working again. I followed the information provided from a couple of posts on this thread, (1) re restarting with command-s held down; did it twice, made no differerence; (2) manually re-installed the Security update; no difference; each time restarting, no effect; (3) shutdown the computer; I did for 35 minutes, upon restart, ITunes is back to normal, seems to be working fine. Turning the computer off must clear the cache?

All application slow to molasse after Installing Security-Update 2010_007

After installing security update, ALL applications, all commands in X11 had response times ALL key strokes of the order of seconds to minutes with >93% of system CPU idle. Console displays the message below ever 60-70 seconds.
11/11/10 4:25:36 PM updatedyld_sharedcache[12] for arch=i386 failed: read failure copying dylib errno=5 for /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib while copying /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib to shared cache
The solution is a modification of this link
http://www.macosxhints.ch/forums/showthread.php?t=15517
Basically, the offending file /System/.../LibLAPACK.dylib is moved from the system directory to a current directory, e.g.,
sudo mv /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib .
and then back to the original directory, e.g.,
sudo mv libLAPACK.dylib /System/Library/Frameworks/Accelerate.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/vecLib.fr amework/Versions/A/libLAPACK.dylib
Problem solved without reboot as system immediately returns to normal. Why would a security update from Apple cause this?

Andreas, do you have this info in english? I'm having a similar problem, and I want to see if I can solve it; or could you tell me what you did to solve it?
Here's the message I'm getting every minute from the console:

Corrected problem by updating Adobe Flash~ even though I just updated it two days ago~ but that solved the problem.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Security Update 2013-003 is available for Snow Leopard, Lion and Mountain Lion. You can download the Snow Leopard version > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1670
You don't have enough space to install the update, so you have to delete things from the hard drive or move them to an external drive. See > http://thexlab.com/faqs/freeingspace.html

Eudora crashing since installing Security Update 2010-001

Eudora has been crashing 100% of the time since I installed Security Update 2010-001 for Leopard.
Is anyone else having this problem? Any suggestions for a resolution?
Thanks.

I see that, like most others, you prefer IMAP. I have used both but I prefer POP. Mixing them on one client can have unfortunate consequences. I don't like any sort of web interface to mail. IMAP is very useful if you need portability but I contend that POP can be more secure if used as I do:
I access each account from time to time from more than one computer. Each computer acts as mail backup for the other as long as I remember to use each within my 122 day (4 month) setting. Since the computers are at different locations I have good protection from fire, disk failure or any other failure of my computers. A corrupt ISP employee can only access my emails for the last 4 months. To easily keep both clients the same I have a simple flat folder structure - one folder for each of the last 10 years.

Installed Security update 2008-008 ; programs won't work

Hello,
I installed the latest security update, 2008-008, last night on my Macbook Pro version 10.4.11. Now, the majority of programs on my machine quit unexpectedly right when I try and start them up.
iTunes, iCal, VLC media player, Photoshop, Installer, internet connect, activity monitor, directory access... the list goes on.
How do I fix this?
Thanks!

Two things seem to be ultimate solutions for Security Update 2008-008 problems from what I have read.
One is Archive and Install which will replace the corrupted system but then requires you reapply all your updates. Select the keep settings and preferences when doing A&I. Make sure you select that option when doing A&I if you want settings and preferences kept. Some third party applications may need reinstalling if they have special components.
[Mac OS X: About the Archive and Install feature|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710?viewlocale=en_US]

[How to get files from a previous home directory after Archive and Install|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107297]
The other is to try to re-install the security update on the main drive while booted from a secondary drive or in Single User Mode. This could be from another Mac computer while your first one is in Target Disk Mode, perhaps a bootable backup drive, or possibly from your installer disc. Here's references for those methods:

Updating
There's been recent discussions as to what steps are truly necessary in doing a minimal problem update.
I think #1 to which all agree is to make sure you have a backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again.
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. Permissions repair can, and is probably best done, when booted from your internal drive.
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
Using Disk Utility in Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later
Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions
You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)
Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup
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 also helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned as to necessity because 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.
Finally, you could try re-applying the combo updater for 10.4.11, then re-apply the security update carefully. Since it seems to be applications (but not just Apple ones) that are having problems it may be some component used in all of these is broken.
The 10.4.11 combo update links for [PowerPC-based Macs|http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateppc.html] and [Intel Macs|http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html].

Missing SENT & REPLY email msgs after installing Security Update 2006-008

I'm using Mail Version 2.1 (752/752.2) to handle my Mac.com and Comcast email traffic.
Today I realized that I cannot access/find any of my outgoing email messages sent prior to January 2, 2007. Any emails that I sent prior to that date are missing from my "SENT" mailbox(es). Also, whenever I click on the "Reply" icon next to an incoming email that I answered (prior to 1/2/07) a window pops up with the following message:
"Mail was unable to find your response to the message “(fill in the blank)”. You may have deleted the message."
I am 100% certain that I did NOT delete any of these sent messges.
Coincidentally (?) I installed Security Update 2006-008 (PowerPC) on January 2, 2007 as well. Did this update cause my sent messages to be deleted? Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have any suggestions to recover/find my missing emails?
Thanks!

I’ll be out for several ours. If Spotlight cannot find those messages, it probably means that they’ve indeed been deleted for some reason. In that case, if you don’t have a backup, your only option would be to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Stop using your computer right now if you want to try that, as anything you do with the computer may cause the deleted files to be overwritten.

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.
