I installed v1.1 of the security update on top of a 10.6.8 system that had the original version of the update installed and had problems because of it. Superficial result is that Rosetta-dependent programs seem ok now, including printing in Quicken 2007. Haven't tested it extensively though.

The 1.1 fix appears to have fixed all my PPC apps, but what a disaster for a few days during tax-prep time. Since Snow Leopard, which we all purchased, officially supported Rosetta, breaking it with any kind of update is unforgivable. I've been a user since my early-80s Lisa, but I'm losing faith in the arrogant, happy iOS-[focussed] people at Apple.

Doug White and others suggest that Apple was trying to 'assassinate' Rosetta with the latest security update, but more likely those ill effects are due to the company's growing apathy towards non-Lion users. Snow Leopard, after all, is last year's operating system. It behooves us Snow Leopard stalwarts to regard forthcoming updates with some caution. Indeed, the last system update (10.6.8) was largely a precursor to upgrading to Lion. I recently re-installed Snow Leopard on both a Mac Mini and a unibody MacBook Pro and I've decided to draw a line in the sand at 10.6.4. Regardless, all 'security updates' should be treated with caution, since they are a kind of Trojan Horse that may include changes to the operating system that have nothing to do with security. Maybe that's paranoid, but it seems to me that Apple has taken an increasingly cavalier attitude towards its customers lately. You early adopters do perform a valuable service for the rest of us though.

Re:

This seems odd to me because Apple is one of the larger companies that has NOT had a major privacy violation occur.

I don't trust Facebook's security. We know for a fact that Sony's cloud security has been breached. Google's too. To my memory, there's never been a confirmed incident involving a breach at Apple.

Or has there?

I also had quite a few problems, but I have such a mixture of old and new applications on my newish iMac (10.6.8) that I thought this was the problem. I have had to resort to using my iMac G4 running 10.4 just to get some work done.
Meanwhile, for whatever reason I was not able to get Suitcase to open after the update. Also could not get Quark 4.11 to open, and versions of Word X and Word 2011 crashed. As did Photoshop 5.
But after going on forums and reading things here, I realise I am not so Apple-smart as I once was (I've been using Macs since early '90s), as I don't really understand much of what many posters are suggesting in terms of solutions.
As there have been some positive reports of the most recent update, I may try that and if that fails, have to start over and do a clean install. I have never done any of this before so wish me luck. If any of you have some (extremely) simple advice I would be grateful!
I miss how wonderful Macs used to be.

[You couild try re-installing Security Update 2012-001, which now has been updated after its initial, disastrous release to a new version. Before *any* update, you should make a full and complete clone backup of your system (e.g. using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner). -MacInTouch]

Try shutting down your Mac and then emptying Trash after restarting.

If that doesn't work, do a Get Info on the file and check its Sharing & Permissions. Unlock the file if the lock icon in the lower right is closed. (You'll need to use and admin name and password.) Set the Privilege under your account name to 'Read and Write.' If your account name is not listed, then click the + icon in the lower left corner. Double-click on your account name in the list, then change the Privilege to 'Read and Write.' Close the Get Info window and empty the Trash.

If that doesn't work, there are utilities that can force delete files. I recommend TinkerTool System.You can download it and use it for free five times in Evaluation Mode. To get rid of the file, click the Files icon under File Operations. Click the tab 'Force Delete,' drag the file's icon from the Trash to the TinkerTool System window, and click the 'Delete' button.

That's Apple's 'fix' for everything now. Whether you go to a genius bar or talk to Apple Tech Support over the phone. Re-install your system and see if that fixes the problem. My advice as a former Mac Tech is to NEVER update or upgrade until you've had a good week to evaluate/review the software you intend on installing.

This Security Update was an embarrassment on Apple's behalf. It appears as though all Apple is focused on now is their 'forced upgrade' policy and seeing to it that everyone hurry up and dash out and upgrade to Lion.

Lion was released on July 20, 2011. Here were are now -- February 6, 2012. Six and a half months and Snow Leopard users like myself are already getting shafted (no Safari 5.1.3 for us, only for Lion). Look in the App Store and see how much software already requires 10.7.

I don't understand -- but I'm becoming really frustrated with Apple. More so now than ever before in 20+ years. I can't afford to upgrade to Lion because of Rosetta (which has been broken once already due to some 'Objective C whiz' being rushed).

Re:

Does the same problem occur when you hold down the Option key while choosing 'Empty Trash'? That's the Old School way to solve it.

item.151871

Dimmer

On removing a 'stuck' alias in the Trash, a crude but usually effective solution is to make a new folder on the Desktop, move the stuck file into this; make a new folder/document/whatever with the exact same name as the troublesome file; drag this new item into the same folder; Finder will ask if you want to overwrite the existing file, confirm this. You should now be able to place the new folder in the Trash and empty it.

There may be more elegant solutions: I think some of the Cocktail / Onyx type system utilities can assist here; and possibly repairing permissions may help.

As regards Apple's apparent apathy toward non-Lion users, the first AppleCare rep I spoke with did not even know what Rosetta was! (He thought I was referring to the language learning program Rosetta Stone.) His supervisor spoke as if I were a Luddite for wanting to downgrade to Snow Leopard.

For anything that doesn't want to empty from the trash:

rm -rf filename
exit

Quit Terminal

You can also use wildcards, in your case:

rm -rf s?*

I was lucky in seeing this thread before I noticed the Security Update was available.

I've taken the precaution of disabling 'Software Update' on all my Macs.

I bought a new iMac last July while models with Snow Leopard were still available. Having brought that one and my venerable MacBook up to 10.6.8 with the latest software upgrades as of roughly last September, I elected to stop right there, figuring every update -- be it for iWhatever, Safari, etc. -- would be Lion-centric and likely to do more harm than good.

Which is where I plan to stay for the foreseeable future. I too am a one-person office and can't afford all the horsing around, let alone breaking my core mission-critical software.

I prefer a lack of 'security' to a lack of productivity.

re: EFI Firmware update 2.7

After the recent security update debacle (wiping out Rosetta) I'm once again cautious about applying new Apple updates. As a Mac user since Mac OS 3.. it's not the first time something like this has happened. I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro that came with Snow Leopard and am still happily running with it. Software Update reports I should install this firmware update, yet when I go to Apple's download page it reports the update requires Lion, 10.7.3.

This seems like a clear conflict and I'm not going to install this update until I get a clear resolution from Apple. (I called their support line yesterday and the tech wasn't at all concerned about the conflict, just told me I didn't really need to install it if I wasn't having problems..)

Install it. The 1.1 version fixed the issues with the original one.

item.153585

Ethan Benson

I have read that the way the 1.1 security update 'fixes' Rosetta is by entirely reverting the security fix to ImageLib or whatever it is called. If this is so then installing 1.1 trades working Rosetta for vulnerable system.. I don't use Rosetta so I have installed the original version and not 1.1. At least until I know whether 1.1 still properly closes the security vulnerabilities. Anyone know a definitive answer on this?

item.153604

Michael K

That is correct, the 1.1 update removes those fixes. The release notes no longer mention CVE-2011-0241, CVE-2011-1167 and CVE-2011-3328 for 10.6.8, thus Snow Leopard with the Security Update 2012-001 v1.1 is vulnerable to them, while Snow Leopard with v1.0 is not vulnerable.

Apple really should make this clearer. From the current version of the release notes, it sounds like only Lion is vulnerable to these CVEs, which really isn't true as the original version of the release notes (still available at http://lists.apple.com/archives/security-announce/2012/Feb/msg00000.html ) mentioned Snow Leopard for these CVEs as well.
Also Apple really needs to supply a new Security Update that does actually fix these CVEs: Snow Leopard is still covered under Apple's usual security update policy (updates for 10.6 until 10.8 is released).

item.153760

Ethan Benson

That is the impression I got. More evidence that Apple does not take security seriously. I have been expecting a 1.2 update to fix the security and keep Rosetta compatibility. The more time passes, the more it seems Apple is just going to ignore the issue.

The next time they release a security update how are we supposed to know if they didn't stuff these vulnerabilities back in?

I'm running the same Snow Leopard + update as you, and I'm not seeing that particular bug listed in my Console log. However..

Console normally shows a gazillion 'errors' and 'bugs.' That's a major part of what it does, and is actually normal.

A few years ago, scientists reported that the human brain is no longer the most complex known object in the universe: it's now an Intel processor! I suspect a corollary point is that in today's computers (hardware + software), a steady stream of 'errors' has to be considered normal -- there's no such thing as perfect interactions in such a complex system. Typically, the system can recover or compensate for such errors, or the errors are so minor that they don't really matter, which is why the stuff works most of the time.

That's why, for example, even much more advanced JavaScript coders than I am will use error-trapping code; if their code is complex enough, they can't possibly anticipate or prevent every possible problem that might arise, so they plan to handle the problems gracefully when they do arise.

I know nothing about the bugs your Console is reporting, and I'm not saying they don't matter. But unless you're actually having problems, they probably don't.

There seems to be some discussion on this: Security Update 2011-006 Server (Snow Leopard) - BUG in libdispatch

Looks like it may be related to a bad install of the Security Update or problems related to xCode. So the first line of attack would be to (re)download the standalone installer and run it, and if that doesn't work deinstall xCode and see if the issue remains. Not very helpful I know.

Raj Gurdwara

Further to my post earlier today about the the BUG in libdispatch errors, I downloaded the Security Update 2012-001 (Snow Leopard) v1.1 manually from:

Repaired permissions before installing the update, then re-installed the update and repaired permissions after the update. No more BUG in libdispatch errors to be seen. What a problematic update this one has been.

I'm not sure what's happening down at the Apple Software Update Farm lately but I won't be using Software Update anymore. From now on, any updates I install will be the ones I download manually from Apple's site and install myself.

I've seen this happen too many times to Mac users over the past couple of months (I think it was the Mac OS X 10.7.3 Delta Update which was causing everyone grief not long ago).

Regarding the problems Sugi Fox had with Security Update 2012-001 (Snow Leopard) v1.1:

I'm not sure why this worked for me but not for you. You're obviously running 10.6.8 since that's the minimum requirement for the update. I'd be tempted to try it once more, doing a permissions repair before the update and once again, after the update (after your computer has restarted).

I get dozens and dozens of RemoteManagement messages in my console system log. Here's a link to the list of Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions from Apple which you can safely ignore:

I think this is a rather incomplete list. Look at the very bottom of the above link and you'll see that Apple notes the following:
