Security Update 2009-002 available for Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger

The updates keep coming from Apple today. Security Update 2009-002 for Tiger is now available, both Intel and PPC. According to Apple, this update "...is recommended for all users and improves the security of Mac OS X. Previous security updates have been incorporated into this security update." It's nice to know what's being installed on your Mac, isn't it?

The Intel download is 165MB while the PPC version is just 75MB. As usual, if you notice anything especially good or bad after installing this update, please let us know.

At the end I recovered my installation by starting in safe mode (command-s at boot time), booting with "sh /etc/rc", installing updates again via command line (with command "sofwareupdate -i -a") and then creating a new user (also with command line, using a script copied from http://www.geektimes.com/macintosh/os/x/10_3/and/add_user_script.html). Now my intel mac-mini is back up running OS X 10.4.11. Hope this can help anyone with similar problems (cfr. my first post).

Hi all!

After installing Security Update 2009-002 on Macbook Intel 2.1 I can't boot, I tried lots of combinations, 1 week dedicated to try and try. Finally I installed Ubuntu but I still can't boot with CD Installation Disk. I had Bootcamp installed with Ubuntu. Maybe this update affects my EFI firmware?

Regards,

Installed combo update 10.5.7 on my Mac Pro and after this my formac screen stays black on restart. Have to re start twice for the screen to come to life. Does anyone have any clues to this problem

I have a black macbook with intel processor and it is taking a super long time, still stuck on installer script. I'm on my father's old dell inspiron now. hopefully it'll be done when I come back from work later on tonight.

Are people being serious here? (Jeffrey your comment is a dead giveaway of facetiousness.)
Were there actually problems? I have a PPC, Tiger G4, and I experienced no problems - but then I don't notice any changes.

yes I am, and still didn't solve the problem.

I restarted in single user mode, mounted an external drive and made a backup of all my data. If nobody shows up with a better solution I'll try to reinstall all from scratch.

When I put my computer to sleep, it goes into a coma.

Hi,

I installed the update in my intel mac-mini running on tiger and now I cannot access the computer anymore...

After bootup the login screen appears but session doesn't start correctly and falls back to the login screen after a while! I re-installed from DVD (keeping user settings and data) but this didn't help.

Did anyone find the same problem and fixed it?

many thanks!
