Updates galore: Security Update 2007-007, Safari 3.03, iPhone 1.01
Today is a busy day in the land of software updates. Apple has released 3 updates today: security update 2007-007, Safari Beta 3.03, and iPhone firmware 1.01. Let's take a look at each in turn.The security update is recommended for all and addresses issues in bzip2, CFNetwork, Core Audio, cscope, gnuzip, Kerberos, mDNSResponder, PDFKit, PHP, Quartz Composer, samba, WebKit, and WebCore. Full details can be found here. It is available now.
The iPhone Firmware 1.01 and Safari beta 3.03 are both security updates that plug various holes in Safari. Sorry, iPhone users, no nifty new features are listed, but it will make your iPhone more secure. Apple does note that the iPhone update will not appear in Software Update on your Mac. You must sync your iPhone using iTunes to get the update. Both are available now.

At least we know that updates for the iphone, will be as easy as updating the other apps. Keep them coming.

What a disappointment. I just got iFuntastic yesterday to put in some custom ringtones. It would appear that a full restore is necessary after this. I wouldn't have expected anything else, but its still a bummer. Anyone else running into this same problem?

I also just got iFuntastic yesterday and just today put on some custom ringtones. I also got the same issue with the iPhone having to be restored. A warning dialogue window said it was in some mode, but can't remember what mode it was placed in. I wonder if iFuntastic will still work with it after the restore and update to 1.01. Anyone know if it does?

Wow,
The iPhone update is great. E-Mail is far, far, far faster than before.

Anyone else find it odd that the Safari update description was in Times, not Lucida Grande?

Word over on iPhoneDev is that this update breaks a lot of what they've done such as iPhoneInterface. It seems that Apple is keeping track of the efforts to unlock the phone and are countering them. Not nice, Apple! Avoid this update if you are interested in customizing your iPhone!

My MacBook Pro's keyboard doesn't light up any more. Wonder if that's just me.

My backlight no longer works either. I can fiddle with the Keyboard Preferences and get it going again but it goes out after a while.

I had iTunes cause the system crash. Damaged my iTunes Library. Empty Podcast content, but drag-drop of the podcast folder to iTunes Podcast restores without the played status. The system seem to be a bit slower now !

Airport still not fixed on my MacBook Pro. Im so disappointed with apple, makes me look a jerk when I cant connect my own wireless router to my computer in my own home! This problem should have been taken care of ages ago.

I'm having problems with this update as well. I had Software Update shutdown my machine after installation, and now it won't come back up. I just get the apple and the spinning wheel...
