Installed Security Update today. No problems on my iMac 24" white, 10.4.11.

Installed it and now apps are crashing

I installed this update and my MacBook 10.4.11 and have since been getting some apps (Mail, Address, iTunes, iCal, etc.) crashing upon launch. Others (Safari, iPhoto, etc.) work fine. This only occurs on my account other accounts work fine.

Any ideas?

Glad to see Apple still cares about us who prefer a fast, stable OS.

Any ideas?

I'm no expert, but you could try some of the following.
I suppose you could try trashing the plists and restarting. Did you repair permissions using Disk Utility after (and hopefully before) the update? Do you have Disk Warrior? If so, run that. I find it works on a multitude of problems. Did you backup your disk before you updated? If so, you can restore your disk and run Onyx and Disk Utility (and Disk Warrior) before you update again, this time in "safe mode". You could, also, delete the troublesome account and start a new one. Do you have a dodgy/old/PPC 3rd party app running in the background? If so, maybe it's incompatible with the latest edition of the Apple apps. Look for anything like that, especially if the other accounts don't have it. To check this, you might have to boot up in "safe mode", which doesn't allow 3rd party start up items to start on start up, if you follow me. Check your Mac's Help for the procedure.

Leopard > Tiger.

I have been experiencing the similar problems since updating. Though for me Safari has been crashing a lot.

 

[dylanschafer]

same issues

having the same problems. anyone figure anything out yet? i can't reinstall the security update because installer is one of the programs that crashes immediately.

and another question: what is a plist and how does one know which ones to trash?

Take it you haven't used Leopard since 10.5.0

 

[wizz0bang]

Installed the Tiger PPC update on my 12" PowerBook... no problems to report after one full day.

 

[PurrBall]

Take it you haven't used Leopard since 10.5.0

Actually, 10.5.5 has still been a nightmare.

 

[Deerskin]

Problem fixed

This took me quite some time to figure out but here is what the problem was.

I had installed FinderPop in my account. FinderPop runs on top of a system hack (I think it is APE from Unsanity) and is therefore at risk when Apple updates it system software. It seems that it is not compatible with this update. As soon as I disabled it everything went back to normal.

(I had removed my entire Preference file which fixed the problem until I reactivated FinderPop and it all started over again.)

It is a shame because Finderpop was incredibly useful for me.

I hope this helps the rest of you too.

Without derailing this topic - what issues have you had...?

Provide details rather than just moaning it is crap.

In addition to being slower overall than Tiger, especially bootup, we have had lots of issues connecting MacBooks running Leopard to OpenDirectory running on Leopard Server (which has a few annoyances also that I won't go into). Much of the time, the MacBook will encounter an error trying to hook up to OpenDirectory. That doesn't sound too bad, but get this: when it fails to hook up, no user account in the system is accessible. The system has to be reimaged every time this happens, and I have to hope that it works the next time.

That's where my psychological scarring occurred. Haven't been back to Leopard since. If it's been sped up a lot for PPC users like myself, then maybe I'd give it another shot.

I find it much faster than Tiger - even 10.5.0 was faster than Tiger, just not as stable. 10.5.6 is extremely stable, and more stable and faster than Tiger.

Can't comment on your other issue though - tried to seek help on that here?

10.5.0 crippled my iBook. It may have been faster for Intel machines, but certainly not for my li'l old PPC iBook.
