PIX logging to syslog on Mac OS X leopard Client - how to make it work?

We just cant seem to make the log entires show up in the syslog or router.log!!!
We have enabled remote logging on the PIX firewall.
On Leopard, we have enabled Stealth Mode. So we get the following message:
+Stealth Mode connection attempt to UDP 192.168.1.22:514 from 192.168.1.11:514+
Which means the Mac (w/leopard 10.5.1) is getting the logging messages. This was separately confirmed with tcpdump too. We think it is either:
a) syslogd config. issue (where UDP/514 messages are not accepted)
b) Or it is a leopard firewall issue. We have set the Firewall to All all incoming connections. But that didnt help.
So we think it is a syslogd issue. So we modified the /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.syslogd.plist.
Tried the following:
1. -n -a srchost_ip/32 - +to limit entires from one specific host+
2. -udp_in 1 - +saw this in specific version of the syslogd man page+
Also added entries via ipfw.
00100 allow udp from 192.168.1.22 to any dst-port 514
33300 deny icmp from any to me in icmptypes 8
65535 allow ip from any to any
We also modified the syslog.conf. And tested entries using logger. That worked.
But we simply haven't been able to log messages from another box/device (cisco pix firewall in this case).
What are we doing wrong? Can anyone help?
Thanks!

I just noticed some of my messages from a remote device are showing up in ipfw.log - not as stealth notifications or any other type of error message, mind you, but the actual full syslog message just as I would expect. No matter what I do to /etc/syslog.conf, remote message show up there.

My mac is OS X 10.6. has not airplay. How to make it work?

OS 10.6 is Snow Leopard, which does not support Air Play. If you upgrade to OS 10.7 Mountain Lion (which is what you list in your category) then you may be able to use Air Play depending on the age of your computer.

My final cut pro 6, is missing some files. because of mac keeper. I think its atom strand.HD. what to do, and how to make it work again?????

I got mac keeper to clean up some files, and now I cant open Final cut pro 6. because of missing files. it is loading, at Atom strand.HD file, before it says that the program suddenly shutted down. the atom strand.HD is a file, that is connected to motion. if I put motion in the garbage can, then final cut works, but if I take motion out of the garbage can again, then it doesn`t. arrrrr. shall I re install final cut or motion. or is there a better way to make it work, again????? !!!!

Well, best bet would be to reinstall FCP. I'd use the FCS REMOVER from digitalrebellion.com (free) to uninstall the app first, then reinstall from the DVD.

.Mac Mail, Yahoo & Leopard Mail - How to get all in sync?

Hi there,
I'm trying to get .mac mail to syncronize my yahoo mail and all the folders to my computer and .mac. However, it appears that .mac webmail is not pulling in what is on Yahoo or my computer. Does anyone know what the settings are?
Thanks!

>>I have Admin credentials[ Username and Password] , by using this i need to Access all user's mail boxes and Contacts.
Admin credentials mean nothing in regards to Mailbox access, so to use delegate access you would need to grant rights to the every Mailbox using Add-MailboxPermission (or if you only want access to the Contacts folder use add-mailboxfolderpermission
to add/change rights on the contacts folder) or you need to setup and use EWS Impersonation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/dd633680(v=exchg.80).aspx .
>>And i read aboutimpersonation that all needs permissions.
By default the only user that can access mailbox content is the owner of the mailbox, you will only be able to access content in a Mailbox if its has been shared with you or you grant youself rights to the mailbox using Exchange Admistrative credentials.
All of this will leave an audit trail.

Use Preview on Device for Android on Mac - how to make it working?

We are using preview on iPad through USB connection on daily basis, but now we need to preview on Android as well.
I've tried setup on following page, but it's not working for me - i have USB Debuging enabled (it's nicely hidden on Jelly Bean 4.2.2 on our Nexus 7), but i can't see device in Folio Builder panel in preview menu (yes, i have Adobe Content viewer as front app)
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS9293e1fb3b977c5c7b1f65ad12f28224932-7f f6.html
any idea, experience?
Thanks
Martin

Neil Enns - Adobe - We have followed these steps exactly.
USB Debugging is enabled... but the device NEVER appears in the dropdown...
We are using the native viewer app, exactly as you have described, and we still cannot get the preview on device to work?? IS there some other process we can use because the instructions in the link you just provided are not working at all.
See my comment above:
"Tried everything suggested in this thread but with no luck.
The mac we are building on is running OSX 10.9.3 and InDesign CC (up to date)
Android tablet is a samsung note, running Android 4.4.2 (developer mode / USB debugging enabled)"

New to MAC from Windows...How to make list view the default global view

Hi Everyone...I know there are several posts already regarding this topic but I still cannot figure it out...I am brand new to Apple as I have used Windows based PC's for most of my life.
My question is...in Finder when I open a folder it displays all the contents in Icon view...which is not a very efficient way to display information.
Is there any way to make all folders (regardless of whether I have previously accessed them or not) display in LIST mode?
Please remember when posting your answer that I am new to MAC's...so please keep your answer in terms that a 5 year old could understand and implement . Thanks everyone...and I really like my new MacBook Pro laptop!!!

I had the same problem when I first used Mac OS X. I wanted to rezize the finder window and alter the view etc. What I did was open up a window and customize it exactly how I wanted it, then hit command-N to get a new window. Usually this turned out to be how it used to be, but sometimes (maybe if you just change one thing at a time with a single drag or click or something) then the new window would be the changed version. Then close the finder windows making sure your changed one is the last one you close.
This is by no means an exact science for doing this, but it seems to work occassionally just by fiddling around changing things then opening/closing windows.
Hope this helps in some way!

Using Mac OS X Leopard

We got a new iMac, naturally with OS 10.5 for Intel. My qustion is how do you use Mac OS X Leopard ?
1) Photoshop does not work.
Note: I mostly use ImageMagic as my photos (hobby/family) mostly need little correction, but once in a while you want to play with layers and selections!
2)GIMPshop does not work
Note: see 1.
3)Printing to OS X 10.3 shared printer does not work
Note: it works from 10.4 laptop and the command >cupsctl BrowseProtocols='"cups dnssd"'< does nothing to me.
4)SogudiBeta does not work
Note: I know it works for some other people with my setup - but not for everyone and not for me.
5) NeoOffice does not work
Note: I wanted to look at a file and grabbed PPC version from my laptop - it opens and stays at the Dock, but no windows/menues is shown. Is it so Rosetta supposed to work?
6)MatLab cannot find java, so the interface and debugging are broken. Graphics works, but X11 has to be freshly started along with MatLab.
Now, i am a power user, and I might solve at least some of this (and other) issues. But am I supposed to @#$% with or to use new computer? Now 10.5.4 looks more like a PublicBeta.
My problem is that before, I had only PPCs, so I have no suitable 10.4 disks to downgrade. Any thoughts?

Thank you for the interest.
1) I use (in 10.4) exaclty the one which does NOT work (in 10.5) - 7. At least I did not find a solution in google. I once solved the same problem with v6 (classic) which did not work in Classical environment of OS X. I found and removed accelerating plugins incompatible with Classics.
2)You see my needs - I am not a graphical designer! I just want to have convenient set of menus I am used to. So I want shop.app, and not just .app.
3)http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2275 - they know about it, but there solution does not work.
4) it is a luck of an obvious functionality AND the drop of support to the Input Managers in 10.5 which drives me crazy.
5)When the same kind of problems appeared in OS9 -> OSX transition it was the extensions that were broken in Classics. Here I am confused as I do not understand what is broken under Rozetta and how to find it to disable.
6)There is only one thing you should know about MatLab - every next version cost to the user 1000$. Matlab R14 works, I know, but I have to use a remote license and update every 24 hours. But why should I break with my local R13 install I do not understand. I mean once again, like with Photoshop - I need a limited set of features, i could go for Octave (free) but it is again just to spend (=waste) time.
My point is, that the only added functionality is the video playback. It plainly works, and works better. The preserved functionality is Office (via Rosetta). The rest is either yet undeveloped or broken. Looks like we should first install Windows/Linux on a separate partition, then get used to it and then forget about OS X. One need no OS X to have Matlab/Firefox/GIMP.
The 10.5 box I got looked more like a web-enabled TVset and electronic typewriter. The other functionalities are to be built from scratch. Or downgrade to 10.4.

Mac os x Leopard for windows

I am downloading windows to my mac. Do I need the Mac os x leopard disk? Or will windows work without it?

The reason they recommend installing Leopard (or OS X in general) is because OS X has Boot Camp Assistant, which makes it easy to set up your Windows partition. However...
You don't actually need Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows. All it really does it create the Windows partition for you, but the Mac is just a computer: you can just boot into the Windows DVD, and make/format the partition yourself.
However, if you want to ensure the best performance, you should have your OS X disc handy when Windows is done installing because the OS X disc contains Windows drivers.

How to make Excel VBA (on Windows OS) to work on Mac

Hi,
I have made an application which uses Excel forms and other features of Excel Form 9like Title, Combo Box, List Box, Buttons etc).
The code works well on Windows OS however when I run it on Mac it fails to work. Can anyone help me how to make this work.
Regards, Hitesh

Hi ExcelUser2507,
To be honest, I do not have much experience about Office for Mac.
>> The code works well on Windows OS however when I run it on Mac it fails to work.
This is possible, MAC and Windows are 2 different platforms and the features of Office System on this 2 platform is also inconsistent (the Office for Windows has more rich features).
>> How to make Excel VBA (on Windows OS) to work on Mac
This forum is mainly for discussing question about the Office on Windows platform.
The thread below may help, and Office for Mac forum should be more appropriate for asking questions about Office for Mac.

Try deleting the cache associated wi the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Now open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy/paste: ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore
Click Go then move the Cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Try the App Store.
