When using a 2008 MBP (Safari 5.0.6) or a 2005 iMac G5 (TenFourFox 10.0) both running Leopard, I get the version of the updater page sporting 'v.1.1' where Artie says he sees it. This suggests it's not the hardware or an 'unrevision', and shows that 'Artie's' version is still up. That seems to leave location or some such variable.

However, when I attempt to reach that same page on the G5 using Safari 5.0.6 (all using the links posted here), Safari balks and returns the message (note the appendage in red):
Safari can’t open the page. Too many redirects occurred trying to open “http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1489?viewlocale=null&locale=null”. This might occur if you open a page that is redirected to open another page which then is redirected to open the original page.

Reloading Safari or restarting the Mac didn't help, and there are no obvious explanatory items listed by Little Snitch or the hosts file. Odd.

That's the exact behavior i'm seeing now (12:15PM Saturday), with my 2010 (core i7) MBP (10.6.8/Safari 5.1.2).

I must add that many Apple pages have been acting like that for several weeks now.... but refreshing/reloading has always worked in the past.

bizarre


edit/ i note that macintouch for friday has a note mentioning the "1.1" update, but provide no linkage at all (at this time).

I just went to the page using artie's link and only got Version: 2012-001

However I went back again, did a page refresh, and now have Version: 2012-001 v.1.1

For what it's worth, I installed the security update when it first came out and had no problem with Rosetta. However, Software Update today offered to install it again, presumably to give me the 1.1 version.

This-all has got me wondering whether a d/l from an incorrectly labeled page would be the real goods?

I'd try, but I can't get to an incorrect page.

I installed V1.1 this morning (although I downloaded the .dmg rather than using "Software Update....") after making a new SD Clone (suspenders) and a new TM Backup (belt).

I've quickly run through PowerPoint, Excel and Word (including some .docx, .xlsx conversions) and everything seems to be fine.

It finally worked for me today. For anyone who may need "1.1" but still can't get that page to open, the path to initiate a dmg download appears to be the same:

http://support.apple.com/downloads/DL1489/en_US/SecUpd2012-001Snow.dmg

and the digest value is (currently):
SHA1 = 29218a1a28efecd15b3033922d71f0441390490a

when finished downloading, the file i got has a modified date of:
Feb. 3, 15:39:16
(i.e., Friday 3:39 PM)



edit/ To check the digest of any file, use this command:
openssl sha1 /path/to/the/file
where "/path/to/the/file" depends on your file's location
