Apple has released Security Update 2007-005 v1.1 which is recommended for all users and improves the security of the following components:
• bind

Security Update 2007-004 has been incorporated into this security update.

• Security Update 2007-005 v1.1 (PPC) – 15.7MB
• Security Update 2007-005 v1.1 (Universal) – 29.2MB
I just figured out what’s going on!
Remember that FAKE corporate email that got sent to Apple Store employees and later given to Engadget quoting a delay in iPhone/Lepoard?
Apple Inc. network has been BREACHED!
Remember when M$ got breached? The hackers messed badly with Windows code before it even was released.
This is what’s happening at Cupertino, I just know it.
Something bad is happening @ Apple.
I say it’s a form of growing pains.
Apple looks like they’re doing a Toyota: i.e. outgrowing their own management and quality-control capabilities, along with picking up the bad habits of their older rivals. Sure it’s relatively minor now, but there’s so much danger of snowballing.
Apple, nip this in the bud. FAST. Don’t let yourself get paralyzed by the Microsoft Syndrome.
The only thing bad is the whiners and nOObs here that can’t make a computer work.
God, no wonder the PeeCee trolls come here – it’s pathetic.
I have two Macs. The Security Update showed on the iMac G5 and updated, but it still hasn’t shown on the PowerBook G4.

Real Player is EVIL – do not support this format or company! You have been warned…
Safari never crashes on me – I use Camino
Note from the support article:
“Note: Security Update 2007-005 v1.1 was released to remove a configuration file that prevented the BIND service from automatically starting after applying the security update. The BIND service is not enabled on default configurations, and is mainly used with a Server system. For systems using BIND which applied Security Update 2007-005, manually re-enabling the BIND service will correct the issue. Security Update 2007-005 v1.1 made no changes to the security content of Security Update 2007-005. Systems that have applied Security Update 2007-005 do not need to apply Security Update 2007-005 v1.1.“
Thanks dude.
My desktop picture is much snappier now!
Safari sucks-if you are using it you deserve crashes and performance issues.
Use firefox for hours everyday-never crashes.
If firefox is crashing on your system-you have issues with more than firefox.
Well I ditched Real player, zapped plist for Safari and for Quicktime, and updated my other plug ins, also cleared history and cache.
Thanks to all for all the advice.
GmcMan – have you called your mother??
” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”wink” style=”border:0;” /> This is probably the main reason you are having Safari crashes. She needs to hear from you!!!
The only suggestion I can offer is try OnyX – latest virigin (pun intended – new beta out) and see ifthat helps. MySafari quite crashing after I called my Mum – so you never know. She told me to use OnyX and quit messing around with guesses.
Sometimes mother’s word is all that is needed

MDN = needed
If the computer is sophisticated the user needn’t be, and vis-versa…..I NEVER use Safari, I don’t have that much time in my life, and I agree that Apple had better watch out or it becomes the big bad guy…..these multi-updates that require the latest OS updates (10.4.9) which report multiple problems in and of themselves……sorry, I need this thing to work, not to work ON it……
Absolutely – do not upgrade to 10.4.9 if it can be avoided. Weird how things can get worse by an upgrade..
Don’t run this update if you have PPC. It has wiped out my ability to connect to the internet. My Macbook is fine. Weird, very weird. Extremely annoying.
Yep Hosed my only machine really good, can’t boot, can’t connect to the internet, can’t use wireless, can’t use the keyboard, can’t use the mouse, can’t option or c boot off a cd, can’t t boot or s boot or boot myself in the ass.
How I got here I haven’t got a clue.
I always use safari, it only crashes when I try to access my uni wifi, and thats just because of a wierd security certificate thing, i just firefox to access the login page, then swithc back to safari.
I used Shiira for a while, but it’s got too many bugs. Safari is the best, so much quicker than Firefox – so much better looking too.
