Apple Releases Security Update 2007-004

All is not right in Security Update 2007-004 land. My Panther 800mz G3 iBook will connect to the internet on initial boot. However, after wake up from sleep the Airport cannot find local wireless network. Reboot solves issue, but what a pain. Is next fix at least a month away?

Reboot does not solve this issue permanently. As soon as sleep is induced your airport is gone again at wake-up.
That seems to be exactly the problem most are having if they run 10.3. Which I do on a few older (2003) machines. But I seems to be OS related as even g4 powerbook users are having the same problem. I would look for a TON of posts about this as people run the update this weekend.
 
Security Update 2007-004 Problems

Maybe it is Apple's way of telling us G3 Panther owners that it is time to upgrade our software and/or hardware. Sad that such issues were not caught prior to release of the update by a Fortune 500 company.

An additional thought. Maybe the "competent" software engineers are working on the iPhone as opposed to the "core" business.

If after installing Security Update 2007-004 on OS10.3.9 and after waking from Sleep you experience a kernel panic notification (black pane) to reboot with the power button ......... do the following:

Reboot .... then apply /App/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair Permissions .... shut down .... Reboot while holding down Command-Option-P-R keys together until the computer chimes three(3) individual times ... release keys to complete reboot .... Repair Permissions again ... click the soft Restart .... Sleep the computer then wake it up .... the kernel panic pane should be gone.

It worked for me and I never before had a panic pane on a 15"FP iMac!

DIXIE :)

My feeling is if the machiine natively supports the OS's system requirements then it better work. Were not talking about a five year piece of harware or software . The posters with problems are beginning to pile up on the apple discussion group .

Updates get installed with administrator privileges they will not be affected by permission issues. They will write their own permission over it.

At lot of it is myth based on rumor based on misunderstanding... :D

1 - administrator privileges mean a different set of permissions which may get messed up as well;

2 - almost any update (Apple or not) mess up with permissions afterwards; that's why they show up in Disk Utility.

AGAIN: at the very least, Repair Permissions is HARMLESS. Always do it and you're gonna have fewer problems than the "skeptics".

Any solutions that works like how Vienna handles tabs. Doesn't bother the user just keeps them. I tried ForgetMeNot but got very annoyed with it asking me everytime i closed Safari.

I'm not sure what you mean... I don't know what Vienna is. :eek:

I think I use Taboo to get a prompt asking me if I want to close multiple tabs (I want that), but I don't think SafariStand does any prompting. I think it just closes Safari, and when you re-open, you get the workspace back. Let me check.

EDIT: Stand does not prompt you on closing. What it does do, however, is prompt you on re-opening, like this:

Not sure you'll like that. :( Sorry. Might explore PimpMySafari.com to see if there are other options.
 
Just installed on both my Macs. No issues on the iMac G5. MacBook Pro, on the other hand, rebooted twice and wouldn't boot after the second time. Turns out the cause was my iPod. Disconnecting it made the MBP boot. Weird. :confused:

I'm glad to see we're not alone. My wife's G3 iBook (10.3.9) is exhibiting the same behavior: after waking from sleep, no wireless networks can be found, but rebooting solves the problem. (Interestingly, a very quick sleep -- just a few seconds -- didn't cause the networks to go away.)

This is in need of a patch NOW!
 
I hear people are having airport problems, but is anyone having firefox page display problems after installing the update? Safari is just fine, but i uploaded a screen shot of what macrumors looks like on firefox after the security update. Everything was peachy before I installed the update and the reboot went well.

A solution to the 10.3.9 wake-from-sleep Airport problem!

On the Apple Support forums, someone noticed that an error was being generated along the lines of "Airport already loaded." So he looked in /System/Library/Extensions and found more than one .kext file with a name beginning with "AppleAirPort." Removing all but the newest one fixes the problem (after one last restart).

Why would you need a security update for a Mac?? I plan on switching from Windows for, among other reasons, the fact that OSX already is secure. Isn't it??

Rich :confused:

There is no such thing as a secure system :eek:

There is no such thing as a bug free system :eek:

Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying. :D
 
Solution to my kernel panic

I installed security update 2007-004 on an iMac running Mac OS 10.3.9 and got a kernel panic during startup each time after that. The computer was unusable.

Reseting PRAM and NVRAM seems to have fixed the problem for me completely.

Thanks to macweaver.com for the idea.

Has anyone ran across this issue? My wifes Macbook (specs below) got updated with 2007-004. It wouldn't boot into OS X. After trying to boot from the install disc and a few other things (reseting pram etc) it booted. But now every so often (Seems like every couple of days) my wifes Mac sorta freezes. The screen goes black, and the mouse and keyboard are unresponsive. The sleep light is unlit until you close the lid. Then it stays bright (the system doesn't go to sleep). The only way we know of thus far is to Hold the power button down and restart the system (which I assume isn't good for the computer in the long run).

I have cleared her cache, and am now looking to reinstall 10.4.9. Should I just ignore the update? Maybe something went funky with the files. I noticed that she had a bunch of programs running after I had already installed the update, the system looked like it had a hard time closing some of them (Neo Office, Safari, and iChat). Maybe something there had hosed the system stuff.

Anyways, thanks for the help.
 
I just posted this to another thread, but I've had problems with this update, although never any issues with other updates. After restarting the screen was very dark. For some reason it set screen brightness all the way to dark during the update. Now, the camera keeps coming on with a drum like beat. I don't know how to turn the camera off. Help! I tried going to photo booth thinking closing it out there would work, but I can't even open photo booth because the camera is in use. I've restarted to turn it off, but then the drums start back and I'm on display again. HELP!

This is for an iMac purchased just about a year ago.
 
I ran updates last night and installed the 2007-004 security update, and an update for Aperture to 1.5.3..

Now when I turn my MBP on, the system will show the desktop, menu bar, and dock.. but it takes an additional 30-45 seconds to show the desktop icons and the menu items in the upper right hand screen, as well as doesn't allow me to do anything until it shows all this stuff. Just kind of hangs for this time period.

Never did it prior. What is up? What should I do to remedy?
