Mac OS X 10.3.9: Using Security Update 2005-002 for miscellaneous issues

by CNET staff

A number of varying Mac OS X 10.3.9 issues can be solved by re-installing Security Update 2005-002 over Mac OS X 10.3.9.

MacFixIt reader Ian writes: "After installing Mac OS X 10.3.9, I was unable to launch MATLAB v.14 or Maple 9.5, which are both common mathematical applications that I use for my studies. But after following your advice ("The far simpler, and equally effective (in most cases) workaround involves re-applying Security Update 2005-002, which made several significant changes to critical Mac OS X Java components."), I was back up and running."

MacFixIt reader Wiz writes: "Re-applying Security Update 2005-002 has fixed the problem with LiveUpdate. It now runs correctly. No other problems that I can find with Norton AntiVirus at this time."

    I'm having trouble downloading software updates from Apple (iPod updater,
    this time). I start the download and halfway through it hangs up with the
    spinning beachball and says it is waiting for "local disks."
