So it's up. I think that's all he was trying to relate.

Hey, I like these little notifications of software updates. It's handy, and one of the reasons I read MacNN. So go stuff it.

Safari remains v1.1.1 (v100.1) after this update, correct?!?

I like them too... the thing is that it has been on macnn front page for several hours... So I don't see the point of posting again the *same* news.

If you look into the receipt, it doesn't update Safari at all but Foundation framework.

Gotcha, thanks for pointing that out...

I installed this and now cannot get an internet connection via Airport that had been working perfectly before. The system doesn't seem to see my Airport network.

Strange way to achieve Security!

You are the only person I've ever heard of going to the macnn frontpage...

MacNN has a frontpage?

Remind me never to multi-task again.

I downloaded this update and noticed it required a reboot, something to do with it updating webcore i guess. While it was installing I decided to install WMP 9 as well. Since I was rebooting anyway i thought it would be a good idea to reset the PMU on my iBook. A nice way to get a few things I've been needing to do for the past few days out of the way.

After everything had finished installing i set about resetting the PMU, holding in the button on the left side of the iBook for 1 minute and zapping the PRAM, three chimes later I'm greeted with a gray screen with the Apple on it, all well and good. 5 minutes later, still the gray screen. I'm thinking oh dear. I try to boot into single user mode, see if it's fsck thats taking its time, cant get into single user mode. Then I try resetting the Open Firmware...all ok, reboot, still gray apple screen.

So i boot it into target disk mode, hook it up to my desktop machine and the disks mounted. Furthermore the disks checked out ok with Disk Utility. I repaired permissions, still not bootable.

I ended up taking everything i needed off the disk over firewire and am currently reinstalling panther from the cds.

Very annoying.

^ ^ Probably just installing the security update again would have fixed the problem.

ShotgunEd · Dec 5, 2003, 11:38 PM

how would I have done that when i couldn't boot the computer?

Best to do one thing at a time when it comes to installing.

Cheers,

Some of us don't go to the frontpage.

You don't like it, then don't check the damn thread. Peachy?

I don't think so

Chris O'Brien · Dec 6, 2003, 05:49 AM

The update also seems to have fixed the .jpg.jfif thing with mozilla.

That had been bugging me for ages

By booting it into Target Disk Mode.

Excuse me if I'm being retarded but the Security Update was a Software Update install. Are you saying that its possible to install things from software update on one computer onto a different computer whose boot volume is mounted as a disk?

Bear in mind that the computer I mounted the iBook's Hard Disk on was running jaguar and the iBook was running panther.

You can download the package from Apple's site, and then the Installer should allow you to select a disk to install on.

If the Installer is going to be stupid and not let you run it in Jaguar even though there's a Panther system present to install onto, you could use Pacifist to force it to install </shameless plug>.

Why thanks, whatever would I have done without Pacifist?
</apparent setup to plug your app>

No really, thanks, I didn't know you could dl these packages separately, next time it happens (I'm sure it'll happen again) I'll try your way.

"so what?" is from France... give him a break.

However, I did update it on my Macs. It kills my 15 days uptime on my iBook.
