JAZZYGUY I am SO sick of installing these security updates! EVERY single one requires APPLEJACK to fix caches,permissions and virtual memory! Every single one changes permissions from rw,rw ,r to lrw,lr. ENOUGH already! I have updated on all 6 of my Macs and their respective back up Hard drives all with the same volume and all running 10.5.8. To go through this is just TOO much!When will Apple learn to configure an update that doesn't mess with our permissions!

RONL G5 tower would not restart after update.

I never had this happen before and I have used Macs for well over a decade.

Also there was no spinning progress indicator.

I waited around ten minutes and finally did a hard restart.

Makes me wonder how many other things Apple missed.

DRG With this latest security update, both my machines were no longer connected to the internet. I had to restart my router and modem and internet access was restored. Never had this happen before with a security update!

OINCE This update on a g4 imac was NOT able to complete and put into the trash to try later.

I attempted to restart to retry and got stuck on the grey apple screen.

I was able to boot from Tiger install dvd and run disk utility to repair permissions and disk. Still not able to boot from hard drive.

Booted again from Tiger install dvd and set startup drive to os9. Was able to boot os9 and noticed the time was off. Figured the eight year old battery may have given up. Replaced the pram battery.

Startup from HD still stalls at grey apple screen.

Sometimes I can boot from dvd other times it just ejects. Am trying to do a archive and install 10.4.

Is it a bad update?

Any ideas?

Anyone else stuck like this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

SNOWWHITESICKETTE @oince

Unless you are running the version of 10.4 that is on your installation DVD, you should not repair disk permissions while booted from the DVD. The default permissions change with the OS updates, so if you run 10.4.11 and repair permissions using 10.4.3 (for example) your permissions will definitely be incorrect. Use the Disk Utility application from your applications folder for repairing permissions, and use Disk Utility booted from the DVD to repair the disk.

I have updated three G3s running Tiger with the update and had no problems. It did not take as long as the last security update, and generated less hard drive noise than its predecessor. (Thankfully.) Did you get things to work on your G4? Have you run Applejack? Personally, I never bother with archive-and-install. If I am reinstalling, I: download/burn all the needed Apple updates to CD (I don't trust Software Update); backup; test the backup; boot to Tiger DVD; open Disk Utility; zero out the disk; boot OS 9 CD; reinstall OS 9; update to OS 9.2.2; boot Tiger DVD; install Tiger; apply combo update, security update, Quicktime, java, etc.; install latest versions of apps compatible w/Tiger; drag over any wanted data from my backup. I repair permissions in Tiger after installation, combo update, security update, iTunes update and Safari update. Erase/install is faster than archive/install, but it takes a while. I feel this method saves disk space and lessens the chance that any corrupted data will be carried over with the reinstallation. Just my opinion, and this methods works well for me. YMMV.

ESMITH512 I just spent about half an hour enjoying Apple Security Update 2009-001 on several of my Macs. (I always put on my Mac Exorcist hat when I update this stuff anymore.) The stand-alone iBook updates were uneventfully routine, but a G4 Mac mini I use for network and storage services stalled, rebooted a couple times, and commanded the UPS to shut down the system after a very long screen-off delay. After reboot, the ethernet port (en0) shut itself off several times while attempting to connect to the system's DSL modem and was confusing the ISP when the ethernet port (en0) was active. I verified the DSL modem with a Linux notebook, verified the DSL modem, router, and ISP--all worked flawlessly under Linux. All systems are running MacOS 10.4.11 (networks are better on Tiger) and always have been kept up to date. On the Mac mini G4 network/file server, I went to Mac OS's network configuration assistant from the network control panel and re-entered the DSL login information, after which the system resumed normal operation without further incident.

ROBOTANK After installing this and the Java update, I experienced some very strange behaviour when the computer restarted. A couple of my log-in items crashed repeatedly and one was using a huge amount of CPU for no apparent reason. I also noticed that the mdworker process was using about 50-80% CPU. Another restart seems to have fixed the problem. Anyone else experience a similar issue? (2.2GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, OS X 10.5.6)

LEDRETX This update is terrible. Applications quit, windows close without clicking out of them, ... Hopefully they fix this soon. Anyone know of a solution?
