Wireless network will not connect after Security update 2006 06

Downloaded recent security update. Ran Disc Utility before and after. Unable to connect to my wireless network (Netgear ) which always works without a problem. After trying to connect using Internet Connection Utility I tried Key Chain First Aid and also reset the key chain. No help. Finally trashed the update packages and had to log off before it connected. Any one run into this problem and a fix? Thanks.

I had the same thing happen to me! Except with a different security update..? No fixes? what's going on? How do I "trash" the update packages?

Mac Mini will not boot after Security Update 2008-007

Hello,
A G4 Mac Mini machine I was asked to take a look at will not boot after the owner (succesfully) installed Security Update 2008-007 from Software Update. Booting always hangs at the blue screen after the Apple logo, and booting in verbose mode reveals that WindowServer is crashing repeatedly. Permissions and filesystems have been repaired, PRAM reset, etc. Safe boot also exhibits the same problem, but it is possible to boot to single user mode. Hardware checks out fine with diagnostic utilities.
Any suggestions on how to fix this? Unfortunately, backups are not available (it's not my machine =).

Hi Arkku , and a warm welcome to the forums!
I'd certainly give Sig's advice a try first.
If that should fail...

"OK, restart your computer, hold down Command-s and type in the following:
/sbin/fsck -fy Enter
/sbin/mount -uaw Enter
rm /var/db/.applesetupdone Enter
# The rm command is the remove command which deletes the file.
# Robert: I'd rename the file via: mv /var/db/.applesetupdone /var/db/.applesetupdone.old
reboot Enter
Once you've done that the computer reboots and it's like the first time you used the machine. Your old accounts are all safe. From there you just change all other account passwords in the account preferences!!

MacBook Pro will not reboot after Security update or boot from disc

I recently downloaded the latest security update and instead of immediately restarting I chose to shut down the system. The next day I booted up and ran into a problem with the start up stalling on the gray screen with the Apple logo and the spinning gears.
After searching through many topics on this issues I have determined that I can likely repair permissions to resolve this issue or try a number of other options. However I can not seem to boot up from the Install disc or in Safe Mode. Booting up holding down the Option key doesn't give me any other option than the hard drive.
Does anyone else have any ideas on how I can get past this increasingly annoying spinning gear mode so that I can try to repair the damage?

This is what worked for me:
Situation: After installing OS X 10.5.6, my mid 2007 MBP began to freeze, and eventually wouldn't reboot normally, nor in safe-mode or from a disk. Also tried resetting SMC and PRAM, still would boot from disk.
Tried fysk, which worked for a while, but eventually the computer wouldn't reboot again.
Connected it to another mac via firewire in target mode and erased all the data (yes I had a time machine back-up), but still wouldn't reboot from disk.
Solution: A friend of mine tried resetting the PRAM again (command, Option P,R) but this time, he continued pressing the start button until the third chime (rather than the second as per apple instruction).
All of a sudden we were able to reboot from disk, reintall the OS X 10.4.9 and then do a regular update to 10.5.6. My MBP has been working fine ever since.
Hope this helps someone.

How come my Wi-Fi network will not work after I updated my iMac to OS X Mavericks?

I just updated the OS on my iMac (late 2009) to OS X Mavericks and now the Wi-Fi network that I had previously set up and used for internet access for my iPad mini and my Nintendo Wii U will not work. It worked fine before with Snow Leopard.

Begin by restarting the computer, if that does not help then do 2-3 SMC and PRAM resets (instructions below) and if those do not work reset your modem and router (I don't care if other devices work) and ensure the Router is has the most up-to-date firmware installed.

My iPod touch 5th generation will not connect to secure WiFi networks.

My 5th gen iPod touch will not connect to Secure wifi networks. It always says incorrect passcode. I have checked the passcode over and over again and I am sure it's correct. it's not just happening with my home network, also at work it never works. It is fine connecting to unsecure networks though. please help me.

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Usb hard drive not loading after security update

usb hard drive not loading after security update
I can't seem to find any other posts about this problem.
I have three external hard rives connect by a USB hub to my iMac.
Problem is that if I turn on the hard drive(s) AFTER start up I get a message that the drive either was not recognized by the OS or that it was ejected unexpectedly.
I get the same issue but not all the time if I turn them on before I boot the iMac.
I used the disk drive utility to "repair" the drives but they always come back as "probably ok".
If I restart the iMac with the drives connected (on), it seems to work but not all the time.
A bit annoying as I am wondering if the drives are OK or not.
I don't always need the drives as they are for backing up images from my camera using Apreture.
This all began after i did the latest security update.
is the update to blame?
mahalo.

Yes, you can still use those instructions to reset the PRAM.
You said that you booted to your install disk and that your primary drive did not show up at the Select a Destination screen? That usually means that the computer is either not recognizing your partition, or it's not recognizing the hard drive itself.
Start with this article and follow all the steps even if you already tried them. I suspect that you'll get to step 4 and you'll end up having to call Applecare. If you haven't done those steps, they're most likely going to make you do them anyway, so you might as well get them done before the call.

Aperture crashed and will not open after last update. Anyone else have this problem?

Yes. See this very forum for 50 threads on it, that explain the solution.

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

My iPad will not connect to the update section under the app store?

My iPad will not connect to the update section under the app store I've tried everything what do I do?

Can you download new apps? If you can, go to the App Store featured tab and do a search for one of the apps that tells you it needs an update. When the app appears in the search, tap on the app icon and the description window for the app will pop up. Try updating the app from there and see if that works.
Have you tried rebooting your router? Unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again?
Look at this article and see the section about the DNS settings on the iPad.

Uggh, it's so frustrating! I've googled every search phrase I can think of and this seems to be the only thread describing this exact issue. I'm always automatically logged into Facebook on my MBP but just to be sure I logged out and back in and it worked fine.
I gotta say, I wasn't a fan of the Droid I had preceding this iPhone, and from what I hear the iPhone app for FB is a thousand times better - not that I'd know personally because I can't log in!! - but I could always access my FB account on the droid. Just sayin...

Rosetta crashes after Security Update 2006-003

The other day I installed Security Update 2006-003, and now a number of PowerPC applications crash the machine.
It's a funny crash, the mouse keeps moving and the capslock key goes on and off, but that's it. Nothing on the screen animates or updates. Windows will not move, dock does not do anything. cannot force quit or command-tab. The only option is to do a hard reset or hard shutdown.
I found this article:

I hope it's fixed soon!

Hello!
I'm glad I found your post -- a brand new Intel Core Duo 20" iMac is doing the same for me after Security Update 2006-003.
What I've found on this end so far is that Norton AntiVirus 10 for Macintosh seems to aggravate the problem. I had a system that was running fine (complete with NAV10) before applying the 2006-003 update. At first I thought the problem might be due to user error--maybe NAV wasn't quite ready for Intel Macs, but Symantec says it is after you get version 10.1 from LiveUpdate. (I did.)
I finally had to erase the hard drive and reinstall the entire operating system from the provided restore discs. After I did that and got the latest software updates, I tried again with NAV. It still caused the same problem...a complete lockup.
The first time around, only NAV seemed to cause problems. Other PowerPC-native programs running in Rosetta seemed to be OK. This second time around any PowerPC-native app running in Rosetta (after the install of NAV10) would lock the machine up completely, except for the mouse pointer. (I have also noticed that the machine still responds to being pinged over the network, and that Apple Remote Desktop 3 says it is online. So the crash isn't stopping everything from working.)
So my conclusion is that there is something seriously wrong with Security Update 2006-003 and Rosetta, and it may be made worse by NAV10 for Macintosh. In any case, I'm going to steer clear of this update for now.

Ethernet will not connect after installing latest Security Update.

I installed the latest security update, restarted my computer, and found that it now will not connect to the internet. I get the message "Could not find a PPPoE server". I have checked all of my settings, restarted the computer again, turned the modem off and on again, etc., but nothing helps. I know that there is nothing wrong with the modem and server because I am connected through the same DSL modem to this computer (a mac mini). It would seem that the security update has done something unhelpful! Any ideas?
BTW, the ibook does not have a wireless card and I had not installed 2 earlier wireless updates. I only installed this one because it said "recommended for all users".
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello
It seems that the update set your preferences to "use PPPOe" while you where using "TCP/IP".
Go to "System Preferences" and enter the pane whose icon is named "Réseau" in french (maybe "Network" in english.
Reset your settings to "TCP/IP".

K210 will not connect to secured network

My Lenovo K210 system running Vista will not connect to a secured wireless network. I added a Tenda, and Netgear USB wifi stick as well as a Rosewell PCI card (removing each before proceeding to the next element.). It will see the secured network, and will allow for input of the PSK key, but it will not connect saying "Windows cannot connec tto <SSID>" with "Diagnose the problem" or "connect to another network". Diagnose the problem results the same. I end up connecting to an unsecured router I have set up on an old broadband connection. The PCI adapter will handle WEP, WPA and WPA2.
Is there something that could be changed to allow for connection to a secured network?
Thank you,
WIlliam

It sees the network, there is no error message just showing the circular emblem and not the check next to the network. I do not know about other networks since I am at home and just started this morning. I can connect to my MacBook Pro with Bluetooth.
