Addressbooksync wants to connect to strange things

Little Snitch keeps alerting me that addressbooksync wants to connect to all kind of strange things. It looks like anything can request access to this and "spy" to my address book?
I read a number of posts about addressbooksync having problems, but couldn't find any other post about how it tries to access all kind of strange url's. See below picture, the list is much longer then that. It mostly pops up when I am browsing through safari.

Thanks those are helpful - I can also see the activity in my router logs, but this is easier!
I just got another one that's a bit mystic as well since I have NO Microsoft anything on my 2011 Mini... BUT it looks like some kind of System process...
"netbiosd"
wants to connect to 10.xx.1.xx on TCP port 445 (microsoft-ds)
          IP Address          10.xx.1.xx
          Established by          /usr/sbin/netbiosd
          User          _netbios (UID: 222)
Process ID          185"
I am running a Seagate Dockstar (Pogoplug) on the LAN sharing a media drive via SMB.
My router is a Linsys/Cisco E2000 with no Apple hardware on the network other than a couple of iPads and a MacBookPro on the WLAN. Also a couple of TiVos, and AppleTV1 (patched) and sometimes cell phones.
I haven't run down the IDs on all the MAC addresses completely yet - but I've got about 12 devices showing up that I need to identify. 4 are still yet to figue out.
Could an ID like 10.xx.1.xx have something to do with file sharing maybe? Dropbox? Elgato Syncmate? etc. I do have those running.

I want to reinstall CS4 as it has been doing some strange things regarding printing, etc. However, when I did this before, it created a major problem and I ended up buying a new computer because no one could figure out why it kept hanging up during the installation. Hours on the phone, no results. I'm scared to do it on this computer. Should I try? Not even the Adobe support could get it resolved. I believe it was somehow reading a product number that could not be deleted or something, and nothing worked.

Hello, as an addition:
In your case I would download a really new trial version of your program(s) in question and change it/them into a "real" version later, BUT because you said, that you "re-installed" already, so it will become a little bit more complicated. It would be necessary that you have to use "Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool" as Keith wrote.
Here an advice for that (The order varies depending on your individual needs. Please read all my proposals first, so you can better choose the first step:)
1. Maybe you have to activate/deactivate, so please have a look there:
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
2. Sometimes, we know in the meantime, the "opm.db file" is the culprit. In this case you should delete it.
3. Be careful with (de)installing aso. by (de)installing by your own resources. As much as I regret it and as strange as it may seem I fear it's a challenge for Adobe's Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. (A try to uninstall by own resources is not enough!)
I quote: Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html and follow the prescribed sequence of operations
4. If necessary and for further questions click through http://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html and if "open" please use the chat, I for may part - as it seems unlike you - had the best experiences. I quote from Adobe's employee Preran: The chat button is activated as soon as there is an agent available to help.

Strange things when connecting iPod

I have an iPod 30GB, and whenever I want to connect iPod to computer, the windows "Safeley Remove Hardware" tray icon comes up, and sometimes, a windows explorer window will open showing the iPod Drive. Disk use is not enables and music and videos are not managed manually. What could be the prob?

Hey thanks for the help, but it didn't work, still the same problem. In order for me to disconnect my iPod from my computer, I have to eject it using iTunes and then Safely remove it using windows, is that how it is supposed to be? And as i mentioned, sometimes (not all the times) the windows explorer window opens showing me the iPod contents, as if I had disc mode available.

Helpd trying to connect to strange websites

I've got Little Snitch installed and recently helpd have been trying to connect to websites that look strange to say the least. server-54-230-99-152.arn1.r.cloudfront.net and images1.chictopia.com are just some of the hosts.
I understand that helpd fetches manual pages for installed software, but it mostly does this when the computer is otherwise idle and chictopia.com does not sound software-related at all, it appears to be a clothing site.
I've run ClamXav to see if I might have picked up something nasty but it doesn't find anything. Any ideas?

I started this last night, but have way too much going on right now. One of my projects came to an unexpected stop, so I can give you a few minutes now but it will probably be ten days or so before I have time to take it on as a project.

The past few days, I've been getting a number of helpd wants to connect to various sites alerts from Little Snitch. I've read the link you provided from Thomas, but I don't really see how that would be applicable to this helpd thing. I don't see this as being a browser redirect. Possibly adware, but if so, wonder why from helpd?
Yes, I recommended that page without noticing that helpd was involved. After I saw the me too from romad I realized I was on the wrong track.
To my knowledge, I've never even visited software.com.
Maybe you should. It seems to be a clean site with only a couple of tracker cookie from Google and what site doesn't have that. OTOH it's brand new, introducing this product just last month and apparently located in Wilmington, DE. This will give you an idea of what it's features are supposed to be:
So it would appear to be some sort of Cleaner app with MacUpdate like features. I hesitate to speculate like this, but I'm hoping they aren't considering using the MacKeeper partnership advertising model. I don't see any obvious links to how to become an associate/partner, but I think it would behoove us all to watch to see how their advertising campaign runs.
I did download the installer and it seems very clean with no hidden adware installers. It's code-signed with an Apple Developer ID and it would appear to simply install and applications named "Software.com". Pacifist shows:
I'm most mystified by the role that helpd plays here. I can't find any developer documentation on it and I don't understand why Apple needs a daemon running to perform help functions. It would seem that the Help Viewer itself is fully capable of downloading help files that are stored and maintained on the web. From what we've seen here, there are a few developers using the Apple Help framework's helpd process to access and display their help files. I can speculate that there might be ways to utilize this capability to display other things, such as whatever image file it's after in your case (download button perhaps).
Again, I think we should start watching this more closely, but I don't really have much to suggest at this point.

HT4859 I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.
(See also: Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895)

I want to connect my ipad mini to my Apple TV. There isn't a option when I double tap on my ipad button for connecting to the tv and I also can't connect to home sharing from my iTunes settings. Can someone talk to me in simple terms. Thanks

So I have a ipad min. I want to connect it to my Apple TV. There is no option on my ipad for home sharing which my Apple TV is telling me to do.
Can somebody please just explain it to me in simple terms where I can find the home sharing and what I have to do to connect my Apple TV to the ipad or vice versa.
Everything I have bought from apple in the past month has been a complete let down its taking far to long to connect things and the people who sell the products to you lie about what the product does and can do.
Can someone help me please
Thanks

AirPlay isn't anything to do with homesharing. (Home sharing lets you share the iTunes libraries on computers)
Basic AirPlay: Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
Mirroring: When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2 (or better), iPad Mini, iPhone 4S (or better), double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Restart your mobile device.

Lion and Mavericks (strange things going on)

Hello everybody,
I have a 2010 (white) macbook,
I just installed Mavericks and updated it to 10.9.3. The macbook runs both 10.7 Lion (my main and most important partition) and 10.9, it's a dual boot.
My partition with Lion is called ''Macintosh HD'' and the one with Mavericks is called ''OS X Mavericks''. (Mavericks is startup partition)
Now i'm using both together some strange things are happening. First off when i opened Finder in Mavericks it only showed ''Macintosh HD'' like that was the partition Mavericks was installed on, now i've added the right partition in the sidebar of the finder (OS X Mavericks). This was already weird.
When i went back into Lion everything was fine but it stated indexing ( i guess the mavericks partition ) this annoyed me because i want them to be seperate.
So I went to settings > Spotlight > Privacy and added ''OS X Mavericks'' so Lion stopped indexing that part of my harddrive.
When I went into Mavericks again, the spotlight on Mavericks was indexing and then randomly stopped. I went in to Setting > Spotlight and Privacy again.
Only now in Mavericks. Guess what: in privacy ''OS X Mavericks'' partition was added.
Is Mavericks reading from the wrong partition??
Is spotlight running between two OS X versions?
How can i make sure Mavericks is reading info from the right partition?
It would be very nice if someone could tell me more about this..
Thanks in advance !!

I remember when Lion first came out, I installed a second Lion partiton and had issues similar to this. The MAS failed to work at all in the new Lion partition until I removed the original.
I suspect there is something with Lion that only likes one OS X per drive.
You might need to install Mavericks on an external drive rather than the second partition.

Strange things happen: mail disappears/appears/is shown wrong

Strange things happen: mail appears in "drafts"/mail disappears after "send"/title-content doesn't match
I'm having some Problems with mails that get worse and worse
First thing I remember is, that I found mails in "Drafts" that weren't drafts, but just mails I received or mails I sent.
They were kind of aliasses of the original. Deleting them in "Drafts" deleted the original in its Mailbox too.
Re-indexing Mail (removing the envelope.index files etc.) fixes it, but it reappears very soon
Next thing:
When I send an email, it happens sometimes, that it is not send (no sending sound, no copy in the "Sent"-Folder). It just "disappears"
Re-indexing Mail fixes this: When Mail is ready with reindexing, it sends those messages (kind of funny, when I do this reindexing after some weeks... kind of...) - but it will reappear
The third thing happens more seldom:
When I klick on the emails name in the list, I get another Mail shown in the Previewbox. Doubleklicking the mail shows the wrong mail too.
Re-indexing fixes this, - but it will reappear
Well after having re-indexd my Mail library 10 times this week, I want another solution for this...
Mail Version etc:
Mail: Version 3.5 (930.3)
1 Pop account,
1 .mac account (i don't use)
Mail, after being sent, is moved to "Sent"mail never to be deleted
Mails Spam Filter is active (and working fine, by the way)
about 80 Mailboxes for old Mails I got, partially nested
More than 4000 Mails in the whole Database
Things I've already done:
Reindexing mail, as I already wrote (Quit mail, removing the files "Envelope Index" and "Envelope Index-1", and the folder starting with "Mac-", then start Mail again, that tells me to klick "ok" for reimporting the mail)
I deleted a bunch of emails with attachements, so there are just a few with attachment now.
I emptied the "Sent" folder and put those old emails in 3 Folders (each of them is containing about 500 mails now)
Thanks for your help in advance
PS: Yes, I want to keep all these old mails...

This is not a security risk - a setting change you should make.
1. Take a look in settings - i message and see what the 'recieve at' addresses are declared. If you do not want to see phone messages on the pad, clear that number out of there - and just use your e mail address.
2. Since you used to have an i phone, that device is likely still registered go to your i tunes account and de register the device.

OK, Downloaded OSXVCN And Want To Connect To My Neighbor's Mac, How?

Hi folks. I just downloaded OSX VCN for my iBooK G4, OSX 10.4.7 and want to connect to my neighbor's Mac with the same OS. She and I want to experiment and see if we can get this going. Does she download the same app I did? Am I the viewer or server?
Now, where and how do we configure our Macs to link up? Do we go into sys preferences and do all this stuff? She wants to see if I can run her Mac from mine and vice versa. We both have DSL, Wi_Fi, etc. We will use Safari right or Firefox and go to some website. Do we have to have a JAVA applet? Heard this somewhere. Anyway, I went to the VNC support site and I am totally confused on proper configuration. The FAQ and help deal is all over the place.
Now, my roommate has a PC laptop, Windows XP Pro and I want to try to do the same link up after I get the 2 Macs together. All this network stuff is a new thing for me, so I want to learn the proper and fastest way to configure.
Suppose one of my clients in Arizona wants me to check out their computer using VNC or someone wants me to tutor them with MS PowerPoint?
Does anyone have an easy step by step way to link up the computers?
Thanks for any help steve

OSX supports VNC by default. To configure it go to system PReferences>Sharing and check REmote Desktop. Then click on the Access PRivelages button. You may wish to make another user jsut for VNC. If so make that user and then come back here. Choose the user you want to give access and check VNC Viewers may control screen with password. And enter password. Click on ok. Then click the start button to start the service. For someone to connect to you you must now thier ip address or DNS nameYou would enter that into the client along with a username and password.
As for windows you can use VNC but it requires installing a VNC service on the machine to be controlled. Instead you can use Microsoft's REmote Desktop Client and have them enable RDC's on thier computer. However this can only be done with XP Profesional and Server editions of windows.. NOT XP home... Not sure about MEdia Center edition.

What is "ndat", and why does it want to connect to 0.0.0.0 on DIVERT port?

Whenever I connect to any wireless hotspot, LittleSnitch (a program that reports any ingoing/outgoing connections) says: "ndat wants to connect to 0.0.0.0 on DIVERT port 2560 (labrat)". If I click "allow" the connection works fine, if I deny the connection, the internet doesn't work. Does anybody have any idea what this is?
I just want to make sure I'm not inadvertently allowing my data to go through some connection and be vulnerable, etc.

I thought about that, but all that LittleSnitch does is report ingoing/outgoing communications. It doesn't create any. So I'm just trying to figure out what a program called "ndat" does, and what 0.0.0.0 on DIVERT port 2560 (labrat) means.
Has anyone heard of any of these things on OSX?

Automountd wants to connect to barefruit.co.uk

Little snitch intercepted the following request:
"automountd wants to connect to
Backups.backupdb on UDP port 111 (sunrpc)
IP Address 92.242.140.11
Reverse DNS Name unallocated.barefruit.co.uk"
Could this be a routine automountd event? It looks suspicious if not really weird. It happened first thing when I woke the powerbook up in the morning. I denied the request but was in a hurry and didn't have a chance to notice any other unusual signs. Later I looked thru the console logs, but only noticed a lot of attempts to connect to my machine which I posted about in a previous post.
Thanks.

It happened first ever yesterday. And I can't think of any recent installs that might be related. And, BTW, I don't use time machine or any automated backup.

Very strange thing happening

I developed a spreadsheet today and had a very strange thing happen while I was working in Numbers.
Every minute or so Stuffit Expander would open and expand a file and place it on my computer. It started out as a quick flash on the screen and would be gone in an instant. I saw that it was being made by Stuffit so I opened up Stuffit and went into Prefs and told Stuffit to ask before expanding the file. This, then, stopped the process so I could see what was going on.
A folder was make called "[file name].numbersFolder"
Inside the folder are two files called: "buildVersionHistory.plist" and "index.xml". Along with these files is a "QuickLook" folder that has a thumbnail of the spreadsheet I am working on inside.
The xml file is large and has several URL's embedded including the Apple developer site (http://developer.apple.com/namespaces/sfa).
Can anyone tell me what is going on here.
Looks fishy to me!

If I recall, this is StuffIt expanding what it thinks is a ZIP file. It is correct, in a way, but you don't want it to do that. I do not have StuffIt so I do not know what settings it has. Hopefully it has one along the lines of "automatically unzip zip files" and you can turn it off.

My ipad does not want to connect to my home wifi's, worthless. why has this just happened. is apple aware?

In the last 2 days my Ipad does not want to connect to the internet via my home wifi's i have not done anything different so cany understand why this is happeniong. it just wont connect. Its a good job i have my 3g connection otherwise it would be worthless. i have tried resetting my wifi connections on my pad and unplugging the modem and resetting that. nothing is working. i have read several forums about this and seems to be an issue with a lot of ipads, i have read what you can do, however i dont think i should have to reset this, reset that, change this and change that when clearly its an apple issue.
can someone provide me with any simple way of fixing this issue. or can apple spend a little bit of their millions of dollars of profit to fix this little proble.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
