Security Update 2003-12-05

10.3.1 rolled in the previous security updates. I'm hoping 10.3.2 does the same. I feel reasonably safe waiting a few extra days or even weeks.
 
Fixed - Autofill in Safari

Does this update fix the Auto Fill Forms in Safari. (It stop working for most web sites after the last sec. update..)

Only weirdness I encountered was that iChat, Address Book and Sherlock reappeared in my Dock after I restarted. Other than that, everything is fine.

That happened to me a few times in Jaguar. I'll see if it happens when I do this update.
 
Disclaimer: I'm a switcher newbie. After installing this update, the installer said "optimizing volume HD" and it took a few minutes. I've never seen this happen after installing a software update before (at least I don't think I have). Enlighten me?

It is updating the prebindings to improve application launch time. You'll probably see this a lot when installing a software update or installing an application that uses a package for its installer.

Google AdSense creates those ads based on the GoogleBot indexing of the page. Since this page probably did not exist the last time GoogleBot indexed this site, it puts up generic (non-paying) ads instead. The webmaster can choose to display alternate (paying) ads instead of the default ads, which is useful for new content on a site, and keeps the money coming in. If you come back to this page in a day or so, I bet the Google ad will list all kinds of Apple stuff.

(And to keep this on-topic) - I installed the security update, and everything works fine. :D

this will typically on my machine take longer than it says it will too, no biggie though.
 
i wonder

why one has to restart the computer after installing a safari security update...

shouldnt it be enough to restart safari?
 
its a security update..not an application update..whatever was broken should by the most part still be broken after u apply the update

No, the new update did nothing to make Auto Fill Forms work in Safari

Haven't installed the update yet but no problems with auto-fill in Safari and have all other updates installed. Damn glad given all the holiday shopping I'm doing online.
 
I just wish they would update Safari itself. I find it much more useless in Panther than the last Jag version. The caching problems are actually worse. Don't even bother going to a page with frames because the frame will not update, I constantly have to open a frame in a new window and then refresh... good times it is.

Sorry for being off topic, I love Safari, but damn there are some serious messed up things that make it really hard to use.

The update actually appears to update the Foundation framework, not just Safari, so to get the changes to be recognised, the simplest thing is to restart.
 
I'm fine with security updates, but another bloody reboot? Having used GNU/Linux for a year (swithching to Mac OS X a month ago as Linux doesn't have sufficient iBook G4 support yet) I became used to having ten applications open simultaneously and not having to worry about some update forcing me to reboot and lose my context in each of those programs--virtually no updates required a reboot. I thought I'd escaped having to do that, but now it's starting to feel like I've switched back to the reboot-a-thon that is Windows XP.

And I thought the "just restart" attitude, as if it's some routine triviality, was exclusive to the Windows camp. Looks like I'll be seeking to make another "switch" sooner than I'd intended :mad:

Common misconception. ;)
 
i just woke up and looking to my garage i don't see a Pagani Zonda :( oh well... maybe my powers are only good for updates... wishing that 10.3.2 will have a super car of your choice feature a press of a button and BOOM you have a new car! :p

Thanks

Oh man! This is like my child hood all over again!!! I love it!!! And after playing with the different kids games for 5 minutes I remember something a friend of mine showed me. It was a picture of a Apple mouse and some baby toys that said "Apple, simple computers for simple minds."

*sigh, oh well the Ernie game was a blast. I FOUND HIM!:D

The flaw lets random sites on the Internet rummage through your cookies, even if they aren't the ones who put them there. I suppose that if you have no secrets, there's no reason to fix it.
