Security Update Fix

Did Apple's Security Update 2006-003 hose your Mac to the point where all you see is a spinning beach ball of doom (also known as the pizza of doom)? Well you're not alone. Fortunately theres an easy fix for this.

  1. Reboot your Mac.
  2. Hold down the shift key to boot OSX into "safe mode". This stops all startup items from launching.
  3. Once you're in OSX go to: HardDisk > Library > StartupItems. This is NOT the same as your user directory. Be sure to start from your Hard disk first then traverse to your Library and StartupItems folder.
  4. Most likely you'll have Adobe Version Cue installed if you have any Adobe products installed on your Mac. Move this out of your StartupItems folder and onto the Desktop. If you don't see Adobe Version Cue then there is most likely something else in your StartupItems folder causing the problem. Remove the items one by one and reboot to figure out which is causing it.
    1. Not sure if Adobe will fix this soon or not so I guess no Version Cue for now!
