10.5.5 update problems with firewall and permissions

Hello, I have a small office (4 people) with one server that has both leopard server (standard install) and filemaker server installed on it. I'm hosting our website, running ical services, file sharing and Firewall. I avoided doing any updates because everything was working well and I didn't want it to get screwed up. Well our website was hacked into so I went ahead and ran the combined update and restarted. Everything booted up fine and is working with the exception of Filemaker Server database access and webdav access to our site folder.
The Filemaker access is a firewall issue but I'm not sure about how to proceed. In order to open the appropriate port it seems I need to use server admin (instead of server prefs) and run the firewall from there. If I allow the Filemaker server service for "Any" doesn't that leave me vulnerable from the outside? if so how would I go about allowing it only to the internal file services?
For the webdav services when using Dreamweaver to upload files to our server I receive a permissions error not allowing me to upload any files. I have repaired permissions and still get the same error. My question is 2 part:
Any ideas on what to do about the permissions?
Would it be more secure to turn off webdav and create a share point ( I am local ) for the site folder with "others" read only privileges and my web designer read and write privileges?
If I continue to use webdav should I secure the folder using realms and give "Everyone" browse only privileges and my web designer Browse and Read/wright privileges?
Thanks in advance
Steve

Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.
If anyone could lend some light on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

When i donload your browser do i click on save or open?

Well... good; when we help each other here, we can't
assume that any step has been taken, unless it's been
specifically identified. I'm sure that makes it all
the more frustrating, since you are a very experienced
user.
Now, then:
-- since you have reinstalled the Java Update; and
-- if you open your Help >> Installed Plug-ins, and
scroll down the list and find these three items:
Java Plug-in for Cocoa -- Java 1.4.2 "JavaPluginCocoa.bundle"
Java Plug-in (CFM) -- Java 1.3.1 "Java Applet Plugin Enabler"
Java Plug-in "Java Applet.plugin"
-- and if Enable Java and Enable JavaScript are checked in:
Safari >> Preferences >> Security, as you say they are; and
-- if Enable Plug-ins is checked in the same section,
as you say it is; and
-- you have repaired permissions, as you say you have; and
-- you have emptied your Cache; and
-- your Icons folder ({YOU}/Library/Safari/Icons) has been
trashed if it is over 750 KB; and
-- you have Quit, then relaunched Safari after all this,
as you say you have; and
-- your {YOU}/Library/Caches and {YOU}/Library/Caches/Safari
folders have read and write permissions
...then, I'm currently at a loss as to what else to suggest.

IOS 7.1 Update problems with text and imessage

SInce I did the latest updates I've had problems with my text and iMessage. First I've never used iMessage in the past and always got my text messages and sent text just fine. Now it seems at though I can only have one or the other. If I have friends using iMessage and I have my iMesage turned off they wont get my message and if I have my iMessage turned on and I send to someone with and android they wont get my message either. It's like it can't figure out if it's and iMessage or a normal text. I have it set to send as SMS when iMessage is unavailbe but it doesnt sent as a text message.
So at this point I wont be ablet to get my messages from both iMessges and SMS..
Anyone else have this problems.

Problems with access and permissions

Hi,
I installed the 10.5.3 update, well software update installed 10.5.3, and it managed to completely bugger up my system. I could not boot up, nor could i safe boot. A verbose boot revealed it was stuck in some form of loop, loading something, which then quit due to an error and it continued to try and load it. I resorted to reinstalling os x with an archive and install due to my external disk breaking i could not restore from a time machine back up. BAsically the install managed to go wrong, and i ended up having to reinstall again. When i finally got to my desktop none of my settings had been carried over and they were in a previous system folder. I fired up migration assistant to copy it over because of the access and permissions stopping me from doing it manually. Migration assistant told me i needed a huge amount of terabytes to perform the migration! So i tried to do it manually.
Basically all my stuff is in my home folder but none of it is set to my new user name, all the rights are set to _Unknown which is, im guessing, my old user account. Is there any way to mass set the access and permissions to my new account, including that of all the subfolders and contents?
Any help would be appreciated, im at the end of my tether here! This is the 3rd time ive had problems with a leopard upgrade. Why does software update always fail to perform an upgrade?

From your account, open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal, and copy the blue text in, and press enter (you'll have to provide your admin password, which you won't see. That's normal.)
sudo chown -R `id -u`:`id -g` ~
After that finishes, the prompt with Computername:~ username$ will come back, and you can quit Terminal.
To be sure, you should log out and log in again.
Good luck!

Software Update Problems with Internet and links xperia L

Since the last Update my xperia L has Problems
Google chrome can not be opend via Icon
Google search is possible but if you want to Open any link it cannot be opend (no New window)
Internet is only available via wifi but not with the smart phone supplier (tmobile) - resulting in no access to Internet

Strange! Try to remove the battery from the phone for a while and then try again. You can also start your phone in safe mode to see if the problem may be related to any 3rd party apps installed in your phone:

T420 - Installed updates - problems with OSD and UltraNav

Hello,
I have just reveived my T420 and installed all updates - first MS Winows 7, then Lenovo. The effect is that...
OSD is not working (I did not find any setting that would turn it on/off)
Ultranav middle button works like any mouse middle button - previously I used it for scroling, now it is just a normal mouse button
I cannot use mouse settings in windows. When I try to enter them, windows asks me to unsintall Synaptic driver for some reason. Then mouse setting window appears, but it is frozen.
Anybody had simillar problems?

The OSD-problem appears very often the last days after running System Update.
Install the hotkey-features manually
If Ultranav still does problems then remove it from Control panel - Programs and functions and install it again manually.

IOS5 update problems with iphone and ipad

I first tried to update my iphone 4, with zero success. All software updated on my macbook pro, then when i began to update the iphone, i got stuck on "contacting iphone activation server". I can still manage my iphone and eject it, but no update. This was yesterday and 24 hours later whenver i turn on my ituens, it still says "contacting iphone activation server". iTunes is mostly functional still, but it won't connect to the iTunes store. Next I tried my iPad (1) which successfully updated, but even though I synced from a backup to iTunes, none of my apps or data is on the iPad other than my email. Now when I plug in my iPad I cannot manually manage it. The screen in iTunes when I click my iPad is just a grey screen that says iPad. No info, or buttons to choose manual or automatic update. And the iTunes bar at the top still says "accessing iTunes store", "contacting iphone activation server" and also "genius accessing iTunes store". I get that I'm obviously not connnecting to sites, but why is my ipad not responding in iTunes? I dont think that being connected to iTunes is that important to managing your iPad since I've done it several times with no internet connection.
Please help! I really dont want to have to email myself all of my documents that I want on my iPad, or try to sync them over my webdav.
Cheers

I found a bit of a work around that is working for me, strange but it works.
Adding the photo album sub folders 1 at a time and syncing. Then when it completes, add another one, confirm the pics are there and continue process. I now have over 35k photos and no gaps or empty albums but if I do more than 2 or 3 they show up empty.
If empty, unsync them, and add 1 at a time.

I have problems with firewall and sync my iPhone with iTunes through wi-fi connection.

My iTunes can't find the iPhone when the firewall is turn on. I tried to permit the apples applications in the firewall but nothing happens. My computer and iPhone are on the same wi-fi network. When I turn off my firewall, I can see my iPhone in iTunes.

10.4.6 update problems with isync and idisk, and shutting down.

I downloaded the 10.4.6 update and my Idisk no longer mounts automatically after logging in. I can make it mount if I do a search for it, and then double click on the icon. Once it does mount, it will not sync when I add new files to it.
I have repaired permissions a couple of times, but it still doesn't work. I also can't shut down until I see an error message about "mirror agent". What should I do?

I am have a problem with ACLs and permissions

How come my Public folder that is shared and has some shared folders has certain users and groups with permissions, like (ACLs) workgroup, _spotlight, (POSIX) system, wheel, everyone, but when they are on a client machine, they say (POSIX) <username>, staff, everyone.
Basically I don't get why they don't carryover to the Client side. Is feature? or something that has to be enabled? that I am missing...? Any help would be great full.
Thanks

I have a iphone 5, purchased dec 2013. Had no problems with downloads and syncing until yesterday. I updated to the latest 7.1.1 and now my purchased ringtones have bern deleted from my library and my phone, Where are they ????
I have gone to download again and told i can purchase them again
But there is no option to download all ready purchased items..
Can you provide an explanation and solution .

Are you using the same Apple id as used to originally purchase them
and are you using iTunes on a PC/Mac

Problem with installing and running some applications or drivers

When installing and installing some items, towards the end of the installation I get this message:
/System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
*was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update*
The end result is that some things do not seem to work properly, such as my HP printer. Would anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thank you for your response. Originally, I had a problem with Airport and ended up reinstalling Snow Leopard. Since then, when downloading upgrades etc, such as HP printer drivers, iTunes etc., towards the end of the download when its running the script, I get this message: /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
+was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update+
Sometimes, the download hangs and is unable to complete. The main problem I've encountered so far with an application is when I use the printer to scan an image via Preview, it's blank: there's nothing there.
