Security Update 2003-12-05

My poor, poor uptime... I think Ill just wait for the 10.3.2 update to go final. I wish Apple would make more of their updates transparent so we dont have to restart constantly...

My impression is that the after the update Safari 1.0.1 (v85.6) is faster than 1.0

Perhaps this is a difference only to 10.2 users?

iChat Problem?

Installed it on 2 powerbook 12" (one 867mhz and one 1ghz)

The 1 ghz has no problem so far but the 867mhz was experiencing freezing ichat everytime an invitation was sent to it.

Anyone got any idea or experiencing the same thing?

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

this is becoming like Windows with almost weekly security updates. Get it together Apple!

My friend just installed the update last night and now all of the diskimages on his 80 gig drive, including the folder they were in has dissapeared. has anyone else noticed this sort of problem with this update?

Apple just released a major new revision of the OS, with lots of under-the-hood changes. This both creates and brings to light new bugs. Such is the way of the software market. I'm tired of armchair security analysts on Mac forums lambasting Apple for releasing security updates. Get a grip, okay? At least they're fixing the bugs. The same can't be said for MS, who "fix" a bug, only to have to fix it several times again as new variants appear.

No one's making you download the updates. If it irks you that much, don't get them.

Ugh.

No offense, but then you realize that the patch was released before the blaster virus AFAIK.

security update

After applying the latest security update I am unable to access Accounts in SysPrefs--it crashes without any other known effect. It's not a permissions problem. There are some other issues reported on the Apple forums.

I hadn't had any problems with upgrading to Panther from Jaguar until this security update. Glad another major update is reportedly not far off and maybe this glitch will mysteriouly be repaired.

Strange, I'm not having any problems (that one included).

Have you tried trashing the .plist file for the system prefs?

Oh, yes, and a number of other things including DW, repairing prefs, periodic maintenance, etc. On Apple forums other people have had similar though not exact same problems with SysPrefs after the update.
