Security Update 2006-002 (Server 10.3.9) (http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/securityupdate20060021039server.html)

That's good to know, but this shouldn't be in the “Help Requests” area.

Yes, you're right, should be in the New and Review section.
If the person with the power wouldn't mind?

I take that back...Now it's a help request. I just finished installing the update and upon reboot, I have lost my dock. It's not there. SpotLight doesn't work and Finder Menu is grayed out.
Force Relaunch of Finder did nothing. I haven't tried any of the other steps yet, but wanted to port my "luck" here to let you know. So I'm off to try the normal array of things and I'll let you know how I make out. I was able to launch Safari in the Recent Items menu.

Strange, but I'll take what I can get...
The issue seemed to clear itself all on it's own.
I only things I did were:
Tried to access Finder Menu, at first was grayed out.
Tried to Force Quit/Relanch Finder, didn't work.
Played with Dock settings in System Preferences, couldn't change settings.
Was able to delete three files off desktop by using ⌘+⌫
And then empty Trash with ⇧+⌘+⌫
...Then I was able to access the Finder Menu,

My only thought is perhaps the update reset my Dock Settings to auto hide.
I don't use this feature as I like to always see the dock.
Dock still worked after a second reboot and everything seems to be fine now.

My sound icon no longer displays on the upper-right portion of my task bar, nor does my SwitchResX Icon. When I click on the sound icon in system preferences, sys preferences crashes. When I run a repair permisions, it repairs the drive, and still nothing. If I run the repair permissions twice in a row, it repairs the exact same errors twice.

Any ideas?

DocDVD:
I merged your thread with this existing one.
It is normal for some messages to repeat each time you do permission repair.
Note that repairing permission is not "repairing the drive" - to do that you need to restart from the Install CD/DVD and use Disk Utility's "Repair Disk":

You should remove 3rd-party menu items and then log out and in again. Then put back the 3rd-party software one at a time.

How do I remove my menu items??

FYI, the two sys pref icons that crash when clicked upon are sound and security.

1) Usually 3rd-party menu items are from a program that gets started when you log in because it is in the list of Login Items in your Accounts preferences. So remove (not just uncheck) the program from that list in Accounts prefs.

2) Try logging in as a different user to see if the problem exists there. If not, it must be something under your home folder. Suspect the relevant plist files under ~/Library/Preferences or the relevant files in ~/Library/Caches or /Library/Caches

This actually is the security update having a negative effect on my Front Row I enabled with Front Row enabler. I removed it, and it is fine now.

Hi there,

I have problems with latest security update. I do not know what went wrong, but after installing "Security Update 2006-002 (PowerPC)" (1.0) on 2006-03-14 15:52:40 +0100: with Software Update from Tiger, my desktop (and probably not only desktop) is damaged.

The most visible thing is that all .html and .htm documents on my desktop does not have Safari icon anymore, they have some 'blank' icon and doubleclick on them DOES NOT start-up Safari, why?

See here on the screenshot: http://www.jirkacech.com/files/Tiger-problemy-screeshot.png
note blank "apple - start.webarchive" also the Safari itself have somehow damaged icon, to same blank thing with triangle, possibly some 'generic app' or 'default.app' icon. It sits in the dock on 5th from left...(dont worry about real safari icon, that's newly added by me)

Also, on, second screenshot, http://www.jirkacech.com/files/Tiger-problemy-2.png you see that safari itself have some strange icon.

I am getting crazy, since I do not know what else is broken by last update.
I have tryed to repair permissions at least 3x, and also run update_prebindings and reboot, delete all system and user caches, and reboot.

Whole issue is system-wide, not only for one user.

It is probably the LaunchServices database that has been corrupted somehow.

You can rebuild the database as shown in this Macosxhints article. (http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031215144430486#comments)

...and doubleclick on them DOES NOT start-up Safari, why?
Your second .png you posted shows that Camino is the default app to open html files and not Safari. Try changing to default with Safari.

bluemountain:
I merged your thread into this existing one on the security update.
Your problem seems to be specific to HTML files and Safari.
I see that some PDF files on your Desktop are showing the ".pdf" suffix but the HTML files that you mention as not working do not show the ".html" suffix.
Do you have "show all file extensions" checked in the Advanced section of Finder preferences? If not, try turning that on and see what happens - you might need to log out and in again.

Have you tried deleting the cache files that belong to your user under /Library/Caches (the Library folder at the top of the drive) ?
Especially the "com.apple.LaunchServices" ones.

I've changed it to Camino myself, just to test if I fix the problem when I change it back to Safari. The whole safari thing is strange, because on left click (in file info, open-with) is some broken icon of safari, if you noticed...

I've tried to create brand new user, only to find out that the problem persist.
But I've noticed, that now I have 2 Safari applications. Now I am getting REALLY confused. There is something going terribly wrong with Tiger, after that SU I have 2 Safaries, one is newly (with wrong icon) created, in /Applications sized 1 MB, second is where it should be, sized 20MB in
/Applications/Internet/, together with my other internet applications...

see the screenshot: http://www.jirkacech.com/files/two-safaries.png

I would assume that some truly incompetent programer at Infinity Loop (or in india?) just let the update to copy something to /Applications regardless where the application Safari really is. Any hint?

Yeah, looks like when you run the update it was applied to the default location of Safari (/Applications) and not to where you moved it.
Have you tried moving Safari back to its original spot and then reapplying the update. If all works well, move Safari back to where you want it.

Ah - there's the problem.
You must not move the Apple-supplied apps from their original locations (under /Applications or /Applications/Utilities) or else Software Update (and permission repair) will not work properly.

You should put all Apple apps back into their original locations and then download the updater from the Apple site and run it.

Make an alias of the app you want placed in a different location.
I assume you had the 'internet' subfolder for a easy location to find internet application. Copy an alias of the files you want there instead of the actaul location.

But that is really incompetent from Apple. Locating the actual Safari App is 1 line command in bash, and copying update to some hardwired location where it 'might' be - without even testing if there is an application - Sorry, but that reminds me of habbits of Windows "programmers" copying their stuff to 'C:/windows/temp' because they naively 'think' that if they they have windows on C and temp is in system dir, everyone else has the same situation....

But that is really incompetent from Apple

So file a bug report: http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/bugrptform.html
Or just send feedback: http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/

But in the meantime, you know what to do to make your system work - leave the Apple-supplied apps in their original locations.

I also have an issue after my Security update last night.:mad:

I started the update and left it running over night and closed my laptop. (I have done this before) This morning my machine would not wake up. The cd would spin and then it would go back to sleep. After a few tries I did a hard restart. Now many apps in my system are hosed.

- No time in the top top left
- When I got to System Preferences I get in the console:
dyld: /Applications/System Preferences.app/Contents/MacOS/System Preferences truncated or malformed library: /System/Library/Frameworks/PreferencePanes.framework/Versions/A/PreferencePanes (file is empty)
- Also cannot run terminal, Activity monitor and several other apps.

So far I have run the disk utility and fixed the permissions. Then I reinstalled the SU both with no luck.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I started the update and left it running over night and closed my laptop.
I don't see how that could work. When you close your laptop it would normally go to sleep. When asleep, nothing is running.
If you interrupted the update like this, I wouldn't be surprised to get severe problems.

You should start by doing "Repair Disk" (different from "Repair Disk Permissions"!) in Disk Utility when booted from the Install CD/DVD. I.e. you restart from the Install CD/DVD, then run the version of Disk Utility that is available from one of the menus there.
See this Apple doc:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214

Then try reinstalling the update again.
If that doesn't fix things, try running the latest "combo" updater from the Apple site.

If you still have trouble, you may have to reinstall OS X - doing an "archive & install" won't be much hassle if you choose the option to preserve users.

Ok, I will try that in a bit. I have a dvd in there right now and my system is not recognizing it so hopefully I will be able to eject it and put the OS cd in.

Will let you know once I have done it. Thanks.

Holding down the mouse button at restart should eject DVDs/CDs that otherwise are hard to eject.
