Multiple speakers don't work after upgrade to 10.5.1 because of firewall

It looks like in OS X10.5.1 something changed in the firewall that doesn't allow commo with multiple airport expresses. I have the firewall configured to "allow only essential services" which in 10.5.0 allowed airtunes to work properly with multiple airport speakers now under OS X10.5.1 iTunes (7.5) gives me error-3256 and the firewall log says Nov 17 12:53:01 powerbook Firewall[37]: Deny iTunes data in from xxx::xxx:xxx:xxx:xxx:6002 uid = 0 proto=17 (where I think the xxx's are the MAC address of one of the airport base stations which i didn't include here)... what to do?

I went to the Security tab in Systems Preferences. Chose Firewall, and deselected "Allow only essential services" and instead selected "Set access for specific services and applications." I then chose the + sign at the bottom left corner of the list widow underneath. There I chose iTunes and added it to the list of allowed incoming connections. I am ow able to play iTunes at multiple locations (at the computer and through my AirPort Express using AirTunes.
What a pain. And frankly I don't yet understand what this means for my security. I'm not sure I'm liking this new firewall setup as much as I did in 10.4, which seemed easier.
Don't quote me on this, but I am beginning to wonder if this setting accomplishes the same thing that Lil Snitch used to do. And if so, well bravo Apple for building it in. That being said, this was neither easy nor intuitive. I'm going to have to read up on this feature to fully understand it and determine if my firewall is even on or not with this setting chosen. I have no idea. I am hardwired to a Router/firewall, so I'm somewhat secure, but what this means for my AirPort connection... well I have no idea.
But, by gosh, my AirTunes works in multiple locations now. Sheesh.

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion. They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my imac

On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

Hi,
When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

My Creative SBS250 speakers no londer work after upgrading to Snow leopard. Where can I find the driverinstalling

My Creative SBS250 speakers no longer work after upgrading to Snow Leopard. Where can I find the driver? Thanks

Everyone in my household who has upgraded to Snow Leopard has had the same problems with program crashes and the computer "forgetting" registration codes.
In fact, after re-entering codes, and then upgrading to 10.6.1, we had to re-enter them again because it forgot (again) that we had bought/registered the software. It was a lot of fun digging through old emails and such looking for the codes, let me tell you.
I'm pulling a Vista and downgrading my computer back to 10.5.x. That was stable and remembered my software, at least.

Bookmarks don't work after upgrading to Firefox 5.0

My bookmarks don't work after upgrading to Firefox 5.o. Please help! The icons no longer show and instead there is a blank paper with the top right corner folded. I can't even bookmark new pages! I tried reinstalling the program and that didn't work. Please help!

Your bookmarks file may be corrupt. Navigate to /[UserName]/AppData/Local/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/[profile_name]. Either rename places.sqlite to places.sqlite.corrupt (or whatever) in case this isn't the problem, or delete places.sqlite. Start/Restart Firefox. The icons for sites that have a favicon should return after you visit each site.

External UCube speakers don't work after awakening from sleep mode since 10.7.5 upgrade

Ever since I upgraded to 10.7.5 when I wake my computer from sleep mode...my external UCube speakers don't work unless I unplug them and plug them back in. I've already tried resetting the SMC. It recognizes and shows the speakers in the sound preferences...but no sound unless I reconnect the usb cable. Worked fine in 10.7.4
Any ideas? Its ridiculous all the audio problems being reported.

I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
My solution:
Cold start with Command-v pressed.
This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
Anyway: my mac mini works again.

Macbook pro 13inch,mid2010 qwertyu keys don't work after upgrade os x Yosemite

macbook pro 13inch,mid2010 qwertyu keys don't work after I upgrade os x 10.10 Yosemite. but it works on keyboard viewer. I'm not sure if it's hardware or software problem, how can I fix it?

Hello there, kipolo.
Great job using the Keyboard viewer to troubleshoot your issue so far. The following Knowledge Base article provides a great checklists of steps to pinpoint the issue a bit further:
One or more keys on the keyboard do not respond - Apple Support
Some keys don't work as expected
From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
From the View menu, choose Speech.
Click the Text to Speech tab.
If "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" is enabled, the key or key combination set to speak text cannot be used for other purposes or used to type text--click Set Key and change it to a less-commonly used key combination (try to use modifier keys such as Shift, Command, Option, and Control). Or, disable the "Speak selected text when the key is pressed" option.
Click the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane in System Preferences, then click the Keyboard tab.
Make sure that Slow Keys is turned off. With Slow Keys on, you need to press a key for a longer period of time for it to be recognized.
In the Accessibilty or Universal Access pane, click the Mouse tab, and make sure Mouse Keys is turned off. With Mouse Keys enabled, you cannot use the Numeric Keypad to enter numbers--instead the keypad moves the pointer (cursor). (There is an option to enable Mouse Keys with five presses of the Option key; you may want to turn that option off to avoid accidentally enabling it.) If Mouse Keys is enabled and you are using a keyboard with no numeric keypad or Num Lock function, see Unable to type while Mouse Keys is enabled in Mac OS X.
If the function keys on the top row of the keyboard are not working as expected, see Mac OS X: How to change the behavior of function keys.
If the issue persists, use Keyboard Viewer to help isolate the issue:
Click the Language & Text pane (Mac OS X v10.6) or International pane (Mac OS X v10.5.8 or earlier) in System Preferences.
Click the Input Sources tab (or Input Menu tab in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
Click the Keyboard & Character Viewer "On" checkbox to select it (click the Keyboard Viewer "On" checkbox in Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier).
From the Input (flag) menu, choose Show Keyboard Viewer.
If the keyboard is connected and detected by OS X, the keys you type will highlight in the Keyboard Viewer window. Open TextEdit (or any text application), and try to type something using the keys that were previously not responding to see if they highlight in Keyboard Viewer.
Start from the Mac OS X Install Disc, choose Terminal from the Utilities menu and test the keys which were previously not working. If the keys work while started from the Install disc, then the keyboard itself is working correctly. Use How to troubleshoot a software issue to isolate the software issue that may be causing the keys to not respond.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

My iPhone 4S speakers no longer work after upgrading to 5.1.1

Everything was working fine for a week or so after upgrading to 5.1.1 and then sounds started to getty buzzy from the speakers and now have gone totally. Every now and then the sound will work for a brief second, but then stop. I can't use the speaker phone anymore either. I have tried turning the phone off and then on again. I have tried hard resets. I have tried restoring it through iTunes and none of this works. Anyone have a know good solution for this?

Scheduling scenarios don't work after upgrading 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.6...

Hello~
I upgraded ODI version 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.6 without any error.
However although I restart agent, scheduling scenarios don't work on time.
So I regenerated one of scenario using ODI studio menu and then this scenario worked successfully on scheduled time.
After upgrading, do I have to regenrate whole scenarios?
Isn't there any other workaround?

Hi, I have copied the jar file in users/appdata/.../userlib also. But let me go through this document and see what it says. I will get back to you. Thank you very much.
But tell me if I understood this correclty:
Inorder to upgrade from 10.1.3.5 to 11.1.1.6, I have executed the following steps so far:
1) I ran the RCC on my old repositories to check if they are consistent to migrate and it was successful.
2) Copied the E*,M*,W* xml files that RCC created into the oracledi.common\...\sqlserver\patch\ and oracledi.sdk\...\sqlserver\patch folders.
3) Cloned the existing master and work reps of 10g.
4) Installed the ODI 11g, but did not create the master rep and Work rep in 11g hoping that I would upgrade the existing cloned 10g repositories.
Now my understanding after going through some documents online is that UA uses the cloned repository details (master and from there it gets the work rep details) and 10g supervisor details that we provide and connects to cloned master and work reps and upgrades them. I do not know what this jdbc error is? Because I tried and could also create a brand new master repository in the 11g using ODI studio, now if 11g could not connect to DB using the jdbc how could it have created the repository. If 11g connects to DB I am assuming that UA should also be able to connect right?
Please correct me if my assumptions are wrong.
Thanks

The location services on my MacPro don't work after upgrading software

AFter upgrading to OSX 10.9.5 on my MacbookPro from 2013, I cannot make Location services work. It's turned on in "Settings>Security &Privacy enabeling Maps, Calendar, Safari and Evernote. what can I do?

You can try the following:
1 Udate all the applications on the app store
2 Creat a backup and do a restore
3 figure it out which applications are failing, by removing them and reinstalling them they should work again
Probably the most secure woudl be #2
Good luck!

Screensavers don't work after upgrade from 10.3.9

After upgrading from 10.3.9 my screensavers have not been working. Apple screensavers say looking for slides, and computer name is showing a folder icon and when selected an open file window pops up. All installed 3rd party savers working fine-

Search for "com.apple.screencapture.plist", and toss it. Restart.
In the same folder, if the above fails, look for the "ByHost" folder. Look for all the files similar to "com.apple.screensaver.000a27ae9f06.plist" that do not mention any other application. Toss those. Restart

Multiple Speakers don't work

Can anyone suggest a solution?

Some mailboxes don't work after upgrade to IOS7

I have 3 gmail mailboxes on my ipad. Two of them are corporate (google apps) and one is ordinary gmail. After upgrading to ios7 only one of them is working (one of the corporates). Other two look like inactive in the panel on the left (grey color). I can't open them. But I can see new messages for these boxes in notification center and it's possible to open and read them. But, i can't do anything with them, for example, move to specific folder.
I tried to restart device and tried to reconfigure them. It didn't help.

I've had the same problem in the past. Pulled my hair out trying to trouble shoot it. I just had the same things, and came on here to see if anyone had figured it out.
I was able to fix it the last time. It seemed as though the page had become corrupted somehow. I started fresh and rebuilt the same page, then deleted the original page. The links eventually worked.
It'd be more simple if Apple could just prevent iWeb from arbitrarily changing text color.
