USB audio gone with security update - why "soundflower"?

Help - since my software update today I can't use my USB headset anymore on my iMac PPC!
What has gone wrong along with the latest security update?
Both in Skype settings and in the main System Preferences panel, I see only 2 "soundflower" options, now USB anymore for In- and output as before. But nothing has changed on my MacBook in spite of a similar security update (i.e. Skype and System Preferences do show the USB headset as usual).
I've never used or seen soundflower before - what or who put that onto my computer?

de-installation of "soundflower" and then of "iShowU" did the trick!

  • Why ship Google Chrome with security updates to Flash Player

    I do not want it, I will not install it, it wastes time downloading. Stop sending it to me.

    I remember the European Competition authorities made a judgement against Microsoft for only shipping Internet Explorer with Windows. How can you only ship the Chrome option with Adobe updates, why do you not give users the option to download other browsers?

    I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).  It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates.  I am running Mac OS 10.6.8.  I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001".  I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word.  When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else.  I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph.  As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
    Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond.  I have to force quit.  After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
    Any similar problems?

    Howdy,
    Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
    I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
    You might wish to read:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
    If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
    Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
    Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
    With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
    If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
    - You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
    - Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
    - Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
    - Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

  • Can i use my usb audio interface with apple tv? For example Focusrite 2i2

    can i use my usb audio interface with apple tv? For example Focusrite 2i2

    Afraid not - AppleTV does not support USB audio devices.
    I assume you don't mean using the device as an optical input for the computer, connecting AppleTV's optical out to it.

  • Sound gone after security update!

    I just ran the latest security update (2006-2) on my wife's Intel Core Duo Mini and the sound device is no longer available. No start up chime. No sound what so ever. The volume level does not even appear in the menu bar and the volume keys on the keyboard do nothing.
    The Sound pane (under the output tab) in System preferences says:
    No output devices found
    Is this a known issue with the update or has something gone wrong with the computer (it is only four days old).
    Mac Mini Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    One of the few settings that Mac OS X saves in the PRAM is the system volume. If you're system volume was set to mute when you shut down, you won't hear the chime at startup. But it was odd you couldn't change the volume with the keys or the menubar.
    By resetting the PRAM, the system will forget if it's been muted, turned very low or very high and reset to the middle. Usually you hold all four keys down at the same time until you hear the startup chime for the third time and then let go. Thanks for sharing what you've found, someone else may come by with the same question.

  • Problems with Security Update 2006-002

    Hi there,
    I have problems with latest security update. I do not know what went wrong, but after installing "Security Update 2006-002 (PowerPC)" (1.0) on 2006-03-14 15:52:40 +0100: with Software Update from Tiger, my desktop (and probably not only desktop) is damaged.
    The most visible thing is that all .html and .htm documents on my desktop does not have Safari icon anymore, they have some 'blank' icon and doubleclick on them DOES NOT start-up Safari, why?
    See here on the screenshot: http://www.jirkacech.com/files/Tiger-problemy-screeshot.png
    note blank "apple - start.webarchive" also the Safari itself have somehow damaged icon, to same blank thing with triangle, possibly some 'generic app' or 'default.app' icon. It sits in the dock on 5th from left...(dont worry about real safari icon, that's newly added by me)
    Also, on, second screenshot, http://www.jirkacech.com/files/Tiger-problemy-2.png you see that safari itself have some strange icon.
    I am getting crazy, since I do not know what else is broken by last update.
    I have tryed to repair permissions at least 3x, and also run update_prebindings and reboot, delete all system and user caches, and reboot.
    Whole issue is system-wide, not only for one user.
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)   1.33 GHz, 512 MB, 12-inch

    The first thing you can try, if this is limited only to Safari icons, is to select on such icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Open With section select Safari from the dropdown menu as the default app. Then click on the Change All button.
    If this doesn't resolve the problem or if the problem extends to other appicons as well, then you may have some disk corruption resulting from not repairing the hard drive and permissions before doing the update. I suggest you do that:
    Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • USB Audio Interface with bad latency problems under bootcamp

    Hi everyone,
    I am currently running an Edirol UA-25 USB audio interface under Mac OS X for my normal music-listening needs. Everything works fine, and there is next to no latency when messing around in Garageband .
    However, when I switch into bootcamp to use Cubase SX 3 for audio production and sequencing (has all my windows-only VST instruments), the interface pops and crackles extremely. It's almost as if the USB interface is losing sync..?
    When I turn the buffer up on the drivers, this stops, but it is annoying as I like to have low latency when recording for direct monitoring.
    Can anyone give me any insight into why this might be happening?
    I know this is an audiophile-type question, but I thought I might as well give it a go. Or heck, if you wanna direct me somewhere where they might be able to help me!
    Cheers!
    Chris
    P.S. Using a MBP 2.5GHZ 2GB RAM

    when you select , lets say the USB device in your audio preferences, it will be used as the input and output device. You can use the USB interface's audio outs plugged into your mixer, and use speakers or the headphone jack. When you create an aggregate device, using the USB device and your built in audio, and choose it in your audio preferences, this allows you to use the inputs and outputs of both the USB interface and your built in audio from your mac. So now you can record from one device while listening back on another. meaning you can record the audio from the USB device and listen back using your Mac speakers or from headphones plugged into your mac.
    if you get a better audio interface, one with mic inputs, you will still need to connect it to speakers or plug in headphones to it to hear audio. If you have the budget, a dedicated firewire audio interface will usually give better results, in audio quality, than a behringer mixer and a usb interface.

  • Anyone updated system running OS X Server 2.2.2 with Security Update 2014-001 (Mountain Lion)?

    Has anyone updated your system running OS X Server 2.2.2 with the Security Update 2014-001 (Mountain Lion)? If you have, may I know if you have any issues?
    Also, does anyone know if a Apache HTTP module that was compiled with version HTTP 2.2.24 will work under HTTP 2.2.26 (updated by Security Update 2014-001)? I am asking because the module mod_jk.so is not available in the stock Mountain Lion but only in /Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/libexec/apache2/ (inside the OS X Server 2.2.2 app), and I am using the module for my Tomcat installation interface to HTTP server.

    Actually, the university I work for is having tons of issues with our Mountain Lion computer (all models) booting and it seems to be tied to this update.  After installing this update, the computer starts booting, gets to the grey screen with the Apple logo and then won't go any further and the cursor changes to the spinning color wheel thing.  A permissions repair resolves the issue temporarily, but it always seems to come back.

  • ClamAV and DNS Failure with Security Update 2010-005

    Hey everyone, got a bit of an issue.
    I'm running Leopard Server 10.5.8 and I've noticed a very odd issue with the latest security update, (2010-005).
    Since the update, whenever ClamAV goes out to check for new definitions and database updates, all of my DNS clients lose connection during the few minutes that it's working. I've verified this by watching the logs as the updates happen. Everything is fine, and the second that ClamAV starts running, DNS fails on all the clients, then starts again after the update process.
    Anyone else notice this? And more importantly, how should I go about disabling ClamAV, since I don't run a mail server off this particular server.
    Thanks!

    The System Info below your post indicates that you are running OS X 10.5.8. The FaceTime Beta requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.4.

  • HTTPS connections timeout with Security Update 2010-001

    I recently installed Security Update 2010-001 onto Snow Leopard and have difficulty accessing certain web sites from my browser (I have tried with both Safari and Firefox and they have the same problem). The issue in common with the problem sites is that they use akamai mirror servers to deliver their content over HTTPS connections. I can see from the Activity window that the redirected HTTPS connections to the akamai sites just hang and eventually timeout. This is new behaviour since installing the security patch and I was wondering if the Open SLL update in the security patch may have caused these connections to hang? Anyone have any idea (or where I could find out?)

  • Any Problems With Security Update 2006-002

    Hi a few weeks ago I updated my PowerBook G4 running Mac OS 10.3.9 to Apple Security Update 2006-001 and instantly my Dock Meny dissappeared after installation and Safari broke. My Dock Menu returned after installation but Safari remained broken.
    In the end I simply reinstalled Mac OS X Panther from scratch, recreated my user account and copied my data (I had it saved) back to my Mac.
    I don't want to run the risk of something like this happening again. I do not have Apple Security Update 2006-001 installed at this time but I do have Apple Security Updates from 2005 installed and 10.3.9 on my system.
    If I install Apple Security Update 2006-002 on my Mac (will be updating from 2005 security updates) - not updating 2006-001 to 2006-002 but installing first 2006 Security Update for the first time could I run into any problems?
    Want to hear from other users who have installed this update - have updated from 2006-001 and preferrably anyone who is installing this update directly (not over 2006-001) before updating myself.

    Ive got some serious problems with 2006-001 (and they wernt cured by installing 2006-002).
    Photoshop and flash mx stopped working and I am unable to reinstall either!
    Ive deleted all prefs, caches, everything associated with these apps.
    Ive tried installing different versions of both apps - but to no avail.
    Ive repaired disk permissions (even in single user mode) - and while that did straighten out a few incorrect permissions and uid's it did'nt fix my problems.
    Totally at the end of my tether now, and getting impatient with Apple - this is my livelyhood and I cant afford to have downtime!
    The "broken webkit" fiasco at the back end of last year was bad enough, but this just takes the p*!
    Not happy - but hopeful that someone has a fix (preferably one that doesn't involve archive and restore)....

  • After updating with Security Update 2010-001, Quicken will not auto update.  Auto update function in Preferences are also inop.  Numerous posts in Macbook discussions about similar problems with other apps.
