Apple posts Security Update 2006-002 v1.1

[AppleInsider]

Apple on Thursday released yet another Security Update, labeled Security Update 2006-002 v1.1, for both Mac OS X PPC (13.9MB) and Mac OS X Intel (15.4MB). The update presumably aims to fix issues that remained uncertified following the release of Security Update 2006-002 (1.0).

Come on Apple, we know you can do better than this!

Try repairing permissions. Many times these security updates can mess with certain program settings and even corrupt others. The update could have messed up your safari .plists (preferences) as well? Trashing them and resetting everything from scratch might help too. Good luck!

Hate to sound like an ass but I've never experienced these problems. My iBook really is like a frackin' unstoppable appliance, not a computer.

According to this support document at Apple's site v1.1 is only necessary for people who have moved Safari outside of the Applications folder. It is not intended to be applied by everyone to fix a flaw in v1.0.

This maybe your problem, Hattig. Try applying the update.

Edit: Added link.

Yeah, that describes the situation (I'm a freak and put my applications into subfolders in Applications, like Applications/Internet and Applications/Office).

I'll apply the update of the update.

Bad habits from your old Windows days?

No, that's not something you can do on windows without editing the registry, for most applications anyway.

I just don't like the long list of applications, including less used ones, when you open the Applications folder - I have it on my dock for quick access, it's far nicer to have a heirarchy (which is subjective of course) - I can just go Internet->Adium X or Office->Pages without having to do a large vertical scan of the list of applications.

If anything it's a hang over from my Amiga days.

More like bad habits from pre OS X where you could put programs wherever you wanted with no worries. Wait... is that really a bad habit? Ahhhh well, guess we have to get use to restrictions on a modern OS.

I agree that Apple should update its installers/updaters to accommodate applications that have been moved to sub folders. This is a compromise because you couldn't put them anywhere, but permitting sub-folders should solve 99% of complaints.

I dropped my personal tendency to micromanage my Applications folder when I switched to Mac OS X. Since Spotlight came out I practically never go my Applications folder at all.

I have the same fetish, but I tickled it by installing all non-Apple apps in ~/Applications. That way I can make sub-folders for most stuff, while SWUpdate can still find the iApps. If I were so inclined, I could stick aliases to Safari/iApps/etc into the appropriate sub-folders in ~/Applications. There's no reason you *have* to put apps in /Applications, unless you need to share them between users.
