Security Update 2006-001; iTunes 6.0.4; iPhoto Update 6.0.2

Bonjour

PS: Do you guys think that, if no wireless network is available, that doing a computer-to-computer wireless connection would allow the shared music to show up in front row?
Click to expand...

Bonjour in general doesn't care whether a connection is wireless or wired.
It's true at least for iTunes-to-iTunes sharing, which I can test.
Unfortunately I don't have Macs with Front Row:( so I can't test for it.
 
Having problems downloading updates...

I'm a UK user and I'm having problems downloading the new updates. I got 10.4.5 just fine, but I'm wondering if something is wrong, considering my Podcasts havn't been able to update for a while either...

Anyone got any ideas? I've tried clearing the cache in Safari, but it's not worked...

PS. I would download the update staight from the Apple site, but I wouldn't know where to save it to...

EDIT: I've downloaded the update, but the restart time was very quick, making me wonder if it is installed properly, considering how long it has taken for others. And it still hadn't come up when I clicked on Software Update...

I suggest downloading it straight from Apple. When you download a disk image, it doesn't matter where you put it on your disk.
 
Improved Front Row

Just downloaded the updates - working fine. :)

The improvements to Front Row are great: it feels faster, scrolling song titles, little blue glow next to unplayed podcasts, etc...

I'm happy ;)
 
Mail is broken

Mail seems to have broken after this update was installed. Immediately crashes upon opening or just sits with SBOD. Anyone else got these problems?
I'll try a reboot
 
Since installing these last updates on my iMac Safari's built in spell-checker doesn't appear to be working. Anybody else find this or is it just me/unrelated to the update?
 
Glad to see Apple has released the security update, it should reassure some users and hopefully keep the media quiet for a while.

Sorted. No issues here.

Is it me, or is Safari snappier??!! ;) :D

And I suppose you're also expecting a Powerbook G5 next Tuesday, too....

Same happens to me, that's what I get for reading Macrumors threads about updates too often. :D
 
broke my final cut pro

everything was working great until I installed the secuirty update and ilife 06 update
now my final cut pro 4.5 (on panther) give me an error on opening and doesnt load

did all the steps to fix

(permissions, log on as diff user, re-intsall application, trash prefs)

called tech support they were impressed I did it all right and in the right order (not listed correct here)

his fix, erase os and reinstall everything...
thanks apple, I edit for a living...

I am going to install panther, FCP4.5 and DVD SP 3, A pac, motion and few other things and never ever upgrade again
 
Updated using software update from Apple menu, repaired permissions before, did sudo periodic jobs before, repaired permissions after.

All is good. Thanks, Apple - ThApple.

mine still opens up terminal and lists my directory. I get warned it looks bad, and Safari doesn't auto open it. But if I double click it, it runs.

Just need something so that if I'm launching an app, I know I'm launching an app; and if I'm launching something that opens terminal/actionscript/automator, I get told that too. Just in case I didn't know I was doing this. Once a file/app has been run, it's added to a 'safe' list or something, that way I don't get asked again.

^^^I just re-read some of your post - the bit about having to have the .app extension, that's good and addresses most of the problem.

It is a bit of a pain and it would be nice not to have dialogue boxes popping up, but how many times do you stick a new app on? If you know it's an app, it's one click to ok it - if you didn't know it was an app, then you're now safe.

I feel this update is a stopgap to the problem.

Does anyone know how to clear the supposed 'safe list' - I applied the security patch, rebooted, repaired permissions, checked 'Open safe files after download' and downloaded the www.heise.de example for a second time. I wasn't warned.

Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

If there is a 'safe list', what is used as a key to identify a piece of malware? I don't want to be tricked into downloading something nasty that my system thinks it has seen before which was harmless - e.g. the www.heise.de example.
 
front row is definitely running much better and smoother. I just noticed something that i hadn't seen before (it may be new, it may be not). When watching a movie, if i pause and exit the movie, the next time i go to watch it, front row asks me if i want to start from where i watched it last or start from the beginning , much like a dvd. Like i said, i hadn't noticed it before the update, but, then again, maybe i had never stopped watching a clip in the middle either. :p
 
Network shot

Patrick Bateman said:
Did the update. Took usual amount of time...but now it's all messed up. I thing I did before any problems were noticed was repair disk permisions. Then I tried to get on my wireless network. Airport icon shows a great signal and the network shows I'm connected but there is no IP address and of course I can't get on. Went into keychain and it won't let me make any changes, it just locks up on me. When I've gone up to select other wireless networks, it locks up on me. Beachball galore. Somebody help a brutha out...

edit: Oh and internet connect going all beachballs on me too.

Patrick,

I'm having the same problem, none of my network preferences will set up correctly anymore. Mac OS will not even detect that I have an ethernet cable plugged in, though if use ifconfig and route I can get a LITTLE bit of traffic to go out, so I know it's connected and working.

Any one have any ideas on this? Absolutely frustrating because I can longer work until this is fixed (sitting in an internet cafe trying to figure out what the problem is). I'm running 10.3.9 on a 1.2Ghz 12" Powerbook. I don't remember my Unix days well enough to try to manually set up routes and our DNS settings, nor do I know if the appropriate tools are in Mac OS, but the Apple network preferences are clearly busted.

It's alive!

All right,

I decided to follow peoples' suggestions for other problems and ran the Disk Utility to repair permissions. After finishing, I rebooted and everything seemed to come up fine.

So if you're having problems with your network after the upgrade, try repairing the file permissions.

To answer my own question: no, there's no evidence of a 'safe list'. It looks as if I merely forgot to tick the 'Open safe files after download' box under Safari Preferences, even though I thought I had done so. With it ticked I get the warning every time, with it unticked I never get the warning. This is all exactly as I'd expect. As people have said, we're all responsible for what we run on our systems. As it's not possible to read the source of every program we run, choose carefully who one trusts.

I guess I spoke too soon. I am no longer able to connect to my Airport Express, either getting an IP address using Airport or connecting to the basestation via the Airport admin utilities.

The built-in ethernet connection is now also a little flakey, if I unplug and plug it back in, I have the same problem I had before, Mac OS doesn't detect even that the cable is plugged in. Rebooting allows the cable to be recognized again. I've got a thread open on the apple support forums about this problem, though no replies yet.

i dunno.. i applied the update and itunes froze when browsing the music store.. also safari crashed with itunes in the background of that application at one point in time.. hrm....
 
More woes

To add to my list of funky woes, after updating with 2006-001, my Mac OS no longer seems to be detecting when the power cable is unplugged either. The power icon remains at 99% with the little plugged in icon, even after it's been off for hours.

I'm a little at a loss of what to do, it's very dissappointing that a security update would cause so many problems and lost productivity.

i wish they'd add a detailed track info screen for viewing on an ipod... can it be done with a simple download update? sometimes i want to know what bitrate a song is ripped at from my ipod screen (slide it in between the 'rating' and 'artwork' screens or something) that'd be neat. please!
Click to expand...
Possibly a good idea but not in my opinion. Don't most people know what bitrate their songs are in before transfering them to their iPod?

Quick now: try to change a background piccie.

I can't -- anymore! :(

----

One hour later... Rebooted, and now everything is fine.

I had rebooted after installing the osX update, then installed iTunes after without rebooting, which then caused the "bug". (How odd!)
Click to expand...
Exactly the same problem I had. When I tried to change my Desktop Picture, the System became completely unresponsive to the keyboard or Mouse clicks and the System Preferences never opened. I hit the power button on the front of my Mac and it was fine after it Rebooted. That was on a G4 Digital Audio with 10.4.5 but on a B&W G3 with 10.4.5 and a G3 MT with 10.3.9 everything was fine.

Strange. I just installed the Security Update, repaired permissions afterwards, and all the Pro Apps, (FCP HD, Motion, DVDSP3, Adobe CS2 and Macromedia Apps run fine. Will your FCP HD just not open, or is there an error message?
 
Something in this update killed my computer dead. It's flatlined. I installed these, then shut the computer down. I came home, turned it on, used it for a while, then it went to sleep. It wouldn't wake up. So I had to hold the power button in...10 seconds...15 seconds...nope. So I unplugged the box. Now it's dead as a doornail.

PowerMac G5 2 x 2Ghz.
Anyone?
