Howdy,


Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.



I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.



You might wish to read:

If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".


Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.

Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427

If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac



With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.

If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:



- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.



- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)



- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers



- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.


If you have TM, or a option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.



If not, c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions, (do not format or erase!!) and simply re--install 10.6 from the disk. Note: Does not touch your files and most programs, but backup your files regardless.


Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.


Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8, it should not include the security update at this time (second pass it might show) because it was just released and they might need to pull it. (they need to pull it)


When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that installed kext files into OS X, you'll know, they won't work.


If you get gray screen, hold the shift key and update your installed software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.
