I forgot: yes, that's ignorant! To update things is not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of strength.Abstract said:people always make fun of MS about the number of security updates they get, which is just ignorant.

Hooray!
Trying to play Podcasts (especially podiobooks) on a shuffle is a total nightmare: it refuses to place them in the right order, gets stuck on chapter markers and often won't load at all. Any update to the Shuffle has got to be a good thing!

Off-topic posts...
Sorry guys, but the topic is on SECURITY UPDATE FOR MAC OS X...not for the iPod...so we're wasting almost 2 pages for useless discussions about something that doesn't concern Mac OS (yep, the usual whining about "why my Shuffle can't have the same features as the iPod Photo" and so on) ...you could start a new thread, really.
As for THIS TOPIC, the update was installed with no problems at all, as usual.
But Safari still fails the Acid2 test...

Since arn didn't think the threads needed to be separated (tacking the iPod update onto the Security update thread) who are we to argue with the boss? We're all just sheep and follow the leader and sheep bleat, we don't whine.
So as for THESE TOPICS, it good to see Apple keeping things rolling and fixing issues across the board.
After installation, my computer posted "OS X needs keychain password for SYSTEM" and asked me to enter it. I have no idea what my system keychain password is. I had this the first time I installed Tiger because I wanted to see what my WEP key was set to and it asked me what I set that keychain password to... I tried every password I could think of and none worked so I did a fresh reinstall and that fixed it. I hope this doesn't mean I have to format and reinstall again to fix this security update...
Anyone else come across this?
I swear... We Single G5 1.8 late-2004's are catching everything from Apple in a bad way it seems like... I'm starting to really hate my computer and of course Apple says they'll only replace it with another late 2004 G5 1.8.... How stupid since the problem is -with- the late 2004 g5 1.8's.
I wonder if I should even bother buying another mac once I ebay this thing in the next couple of months out of frustration.

Has anyone else noticed how these Security Update threads are essentially nothing more than "free post count increasing threads" for some people. If there is a problem with the update, by all means, share, warn and educate others, but if it installs fine, why say so? Is there a real benefit to saying, "Just installed it, everything seems fine! "
And there's my early morning rant for today. Carry on.

At least one person should claim it works okay, if only for original thread starter rdowns's benefit.

I'll give you that, mad jew - but it has to be you who posts that - then it's okay.
Edit: Oh, and I never congratulated you on joining our exclusive "Macrumors 601 Club" - well done!
So you read the original thread then? Yeah, apparently the mods disagree with me then.
And thanks for the congratulations. I wonder how many of those 5000 posts were made confirming the compatibility of security updates.

Seems to have fixed
Seems to have fixed a hang in Safari when I upload pictures to my website.
Took a long time to optimize though ... I thought it had hung at the end, but eventually made it through after 10 minutes.
Don't forget (everyone) to run permissions repair after updates like this!

Actualy, those posts do serve a purpose. It helps people get a better sence of how safe an install it. If nobody said, "installed, seems fine" and only people with problems posted it would discourage others from installing the update when they should. We don't want people not installing a security update because they think it will break things when in fact it is fine now do we?
I'll be installing it later today (not at my comp to do it now).
Well, it finally downloaded and installed today.
Just goes to show you that a Mac user takes security updates very serious and updates as soon as possible. It odd however I believe that Mac users actually get excited in regards to ANY update.
Windows users are always confused since they are not sure if the PC will start-up or just blow up.

Same here -- it asked for it after the required restart. I thought I knew my keychain password, but it didn't work. It soon told me I had entered the wrong password too many times and I'd have to wait to try again later. The password request mentioned airport, so I figured I wouldn't have access to my wireless network, but everything came up and connected just fine.iMThomas said:

Actually this is a good point. I just needed something to rant about this morning, so thought I'd pick on this thread. You're right though, it does help give people a greater sense of confidence.

I, too, was happy to see this update for Panther as well. I honestly don't know if I'll be moving to Tiger or not, and perhaps even just waiting for Leopard, so it's nice to know Apple isn't forgetting about me. Now when they start releasing security updates a year from now and I'm still on Panther, I guess we'll see if this is still the case.
I installed both updates and now the mac won't boot, applejack won't fix the problem either! Its stuck on the loading screen.
