Home Forums Mac Software Mac Operating Systems Security Update 2014-004 (Lion)

Although the above-captioned appears on Apple's Support-Downloads website (as of Sep. 17), any attempt to download the update goes to a blank screen with the URL http://images.apple.com/support/not_found.html .

Attempts at acquiring same from other sources which link to Apple have the same result.

Last night it wouldn't even show up on Software Update; this morning it did. Unfortunately, the disk image file is 144.5 MB. With dial-up access it would take ca 10 hours to download (at ca 4 KB/s), even if one could justify tying up the phone line for that amount of time. (Ergo, non-viable solution.)

Security Update 2014-004 Server (Lion) on the other hand is alive.

Edit: Security Update 2014-004 (Mountain Lion) seems to be functional.

Does anybody know what's going on? Apple sure doesn't.

Two significantly different code bases. OS X server is an application that runs on the Lion OS, not an OS itself.

Just in the past few minutes Security Update 2014-004 (Lion) seems to have been fixed by Apple on the Support-Downloads site:
support.apple.com/downloads/DL1764/en_US/SecUpd2014-004Lion.dmg

Given the 'new' file size of 138 MB, I'll have to wait until I have access to broadband in order to attempt a download.

EDIT: Got it. Installed it. Case closed.

Now is not a particularly good time to download anything from Apple. Their servers are being hammered by all the new upgrades and updates. You are probably better off waiting until at least some time next week.

Too late. But no harm, no foul.
You must have missed the edit addendum, posted ca 3 hours before your 'warning'.
