Apple Security Update - 2009-005

All went well on the update, but I do not care about what is in a security update. I just do it and re-pare permissions. I did before this get Safari coming up with the message “word leaks” and have not since.

I rarely post on VT unless something exceptionally good or bad happens. I've been an exclusive advanced Mac User since 1987... this update on my Intel Core Duo MacBookPro15 went very very smooth as most of these update do (for me). After the update... everything on my Mac has speeded up 10-15%, graphics are clearer and render quicker, all my applications just seem to start-up quicker and close/quit without incident. Typically... this doesn't happen... or there is some minor issue/sluggishness after an update. I always run applejack AUTO before an update... then use Software Update to update... then let the system restart until I get a complete reboot... then restart again and run applejack AUTO (and then clear the user caches)... then restart again. Very very pleased with this update. Daily use of the following applications... WebKit (nightly downloads), FireFox 3.5.2, MicroSoft Office 2008 (mostly Entourage), Skype (latest beta), FileMakerPro9 Advanced, DreamWeaver CS3, Ready-Set-Go 7.8(beta), still use an older version of AppleWorks, AudioHiJack, BBedit, Fetch, several plugins too numerous to mention. By the way... been a loyal daily VersionTracker viewer/user since they first launched... what a great service to the user community.

I downloaded the stand-along for a G4/DP 800/10.4.11. When I attempted to install, I was advised that it could not be installed. Perhaps I had a bad DL, I dunno. But when I attempted the update via Software Update, it installed as advertised.

A subsequent run of Software Update indicated only Safari 3.2.3 was required. I installed that via the stand-alone without issue.

When installed in 10.4.x, previous versions have created an issue that could result in "Your Network Settings have been changed by another Application".

Does anyone know if this problem is now resolved?

I applied the fix, and re-started, and iCal, MacScan and 1Password (and a few others that I cannot remember) would not start, or re-set and re-start. I re-booted into Safe mode (hold down SHIFT key while re-starting), and that seemed to cure the issues. BTW, I had tried to roll back the clock to my nearest earlier snapshot in Time Machine, but the Restore button was grayed out. I guess I am lucky that it was, because the Safe re-boot corrected the issues. But, I wonder why I could not Restore with Time Machine.
