Allow all incoming connections - will not stick for several apps

10.7.2
I have several apps that continue to ask me on each launch whether to allow or deny incoming connections. I've gone to the firewall pane and removed them from the list of allowed apps and added them back in both manually and using the "automatically add", with no change.
I've done a search through the forums and googled it, and the solutions always seem to be for a specific app like iTunes or iChat. In my case there are three apps for sure that ask every time and the recommended fixes for this aren't really my best options.
Pro Tools (This only started when I upgraded from 10.2 to 10.3, and the usual fix method of deleting the app as suggested for iTunes will be a real hassle for this) There are too many components for me to take out and have a real go at re-installing.
Soundminer 4
iTunes
This is definitely an annoying bug that should not be happening if I manually remove the apps for the allowed list and then allow them again freshly.
Does anyone know of any way to clear this up that doesn't involve deleting apps and re-installing? That would be a huge hassle and I can't take the time for that for several weeks.

i have somehow kind of the same issue.
installed a drobo dashboard update and since then the firewall messages pop up for half a secound and disappear again in a frequenz of around 10sec.
it is impossible to hit allow, so they come back.
also tried to add the app to the firewall list & one service of it, but no success.
messages come back.
do you have any idea where is is coming from?
thx for your help...

Can't Open file--and then ALL backups also will not open. SEVERE BUG

After losing 2 FULL day's work to files that inexplicably and suddenly would not open, I read discussion board questions and rebuilt the entire presentations from Keynote, instead of starting with PowerPoint imports.
However the same thing happened. Worse, when it happens, ALL THE BACKUPS THAT I HAD BEEN SAVING ARE ALSO NOT ABLE TO OPEN. How can that be?
I have had it with Keynote. If I could get my money back I would.
But I'd pay a *lot more* money to have never heard of the program and not have wasted now four full day's work...gone.

I am using Keynote 2.0.2, and after installing Mac OS X 10.4.6, I have been unable to open either of 2 Keynote files I have tried to open since the installation. I am hesitant to try opening any other presentations, though I may copy other presentations to a safe place and then trying. I get a message each time that the file may not be opened "because it is damaged." I tried deleting the Keynote preferences file and reinstalling Keynote, but I could still not open the prior presentations. I don't know if this is a 10.4.6 issue or a Keynote issue, but I thought I would mention it. I am nervous about using Keynote again until I hear what is causing the problem and knowing there is a fix, especially if others are having the same problem...

HT204053 I tried to use a card and it will not work for my App Store

I tried to put a different card on file but it won't let me

By not letting you, you mean ... ?
If you are trying to use a debit card then I don't think that they are still accepted as a valid payment method - they are not listed on this page and there have been a number of posts recently about them being declined
If it's a credit card then is it registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, it was issued by a bank in your country and you are currently in that country ? If it is and it's being declined then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes support and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management
If it's something else then some info as to what happens and when would be useful.

hedger,
How do you expect anyone to help when we don't know a darned thing about the file, abut your setup, exact version of Photoshop and your OS, machine specs, etc.?
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Hi All, My MacBook will not connect to the internet at my apartment.

Hi All, My MacBook will not connect to the internet at my apartment. I live with 5 other people and it works for all of them. It worked for me until about 3 weeks ago. My internet works fine at other places like cafes or other folks' homes. I've tried many things but am having no luck at all. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear them! Thanks!

Some routers (such as my Netgear) seem to work better if you input your device's MAC address manually while on their online site. That site address should be in the manual and usually starts with something like 192.168.x.x Once on that site, input your Mac's address - a series of numbers and letters i.e. 2f.3c.45.2a.xx.xx (go to Network Preference Pane, select Airport, click on Options: at the bottom it shows "airport ID". I have all my devices listed; with that you can create a special IP address i.e.192.168.1.1, .2, .3, and so on. I've never lost connection using that method.

ITunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from an external drive (or streamed from other wireless devices). Any solution in sight?

Video streaming of DRM movies, purchased from iTunes and other vendors, to any iOS device is not working.

I am not sure if you really understand the issue at hand. Possibly that you are just scanning, not reading the whole text, or simply that you just want to close a thread with your last words or derail it for whatever strange reason. So far you have been more destructive than helpful, but again this could be ignorance at best.
If you would have had the decency to read the entire thread you would have come to the conclusion that every manufacturer, I came across, has posted FAQ's to this issue but Apple. Find a short excerpt below:
SeaGate http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US <http://knowledge.seagate.com/articles/en_US/FAQ/006135en?language=en_US> Playing DRM (Digital Rights Management) protected movies in Seagate Media App Information regarding remote streaming of DRM protected movies. Most forms of DRM (Digital Rights Management) will prevent playing movies on unauthorized devices or from remote storage hosted on wireless drives or NAS drives(Seagate Wireless, Seagate Wireless Plus, Seagate Central or Seagate Personal Cloud). Movies purchased from iTunes can be streamed to iOS 6 and iOS 7 devices which were authorized from remote storage (the video could be selected in Seagate Media App and would be played in a Safari browser), however in iOS 8 this has stopped working. A bug has been filed with Apple, however this functionality has not been restored. Therefore, DRM protected movies purchased on iTunes can no longer be played on devices running iOS 8.

Here are the remaining issues that we are aware of in the iOS 8 general release: • Video streaming of DRM movies (purchased from iTunes and other vendors): iTunes purchased videos and all DRM movies will not play on iOS 8 devices when streamed from AirStash (or streamed from other wireless devices). These movies are digitally protected and the AirStash app sends them to the Safari browser to play (which works for all prior iOS versions). However, in iOS 8, Safari will no longer allow DRM movies to play. These movies will play when the video is transferred to the iPhone/iPad and played in the Apple's Video App or the corresponding App from the vendor.

If this is the case and Apple will not address this issue or fix it since Apple believes that movies should be protected this way, you need to let the community know that movies are restricted this way.

Welcome to the support community group.
First, are you sure that your AirPort Extreme has been configured correctly and is properly connected to your modem?
Begin by telling us how you have things connected and if the Airport Extreme is replacing a previously owned router or is this an entirely new installation?
First be sure that your modem is working and properly connects you to the internet using an ethernet cable directly connected to your laptop. Once you're sure that's working, reset the AirPort to factory defaults by disconnecting it from power and pressing and holding in the small reset button on the back for 15 - 20 seconds while you reconnect it to power. Then turn everything off for 5 minutes. Connect the Airport to your modem with and ethernet cable to the Airport WAN port on the back (check the user guide to make sure you connect the cable to the correct port) then connect a second ethernet cable between the laptop and one of the LAN ports on the AirPort Extreme.
Then power up the modem first, wait 5 minutes and then power up the Airport, wait 5 minutes and finally power up your laptop.
Then run the airport configuration utility from your laptop. Since you're not using an Apple computer, be sure that all of your firewall, and virus blocking and checking software is disabled before you run the airport configuration utility. Once you run the utility, it should detect your AirPort and allow you to use the configuration wizard to set things up.
Check back if you're still having problems.

How can i allow multiple incoming connections on my windows 8 vpn server?

Hi eveyone,
Im trying to find out how to allow more than 1 incoming VPN connection into my windows 8.1 PC and no clue how to do it without openVPN or other programs (which i have no clue how to set up either)
Im starting to use my home NAS for work where I store everything on it so when ever I go to a job I can either access it or save a new file to it. The problem is my wife also wants to use it and I dont want to not be allowed to connect when I need to or
not allow her to connect.
Is there any way I can allow 2+ incoming connections on my home PC without getting a seperate software?
If the only option is getting a seperate program can anyone provide something that I can settup to my home router so I can access the NAS by the private IP?
Thank you

Short answer - no. The client OS only allows one incoming VPN connection.

How to add a code so my drag and drop movie clip will not stick once it is dragged to final place o

Hello all and kglad, I have to use the old drag and drop code on my movie clips, but the problem is when I drag the movieclip to the area on my .swf file once i release it, it sticks to the hand mover.
I am encloseing the action script I am using could someone or kglad tell me what is missing from the code so that once it is released it will not stick, see code below
circle.onPress = function(){
startDrag(this);
circle.onRelease = function(){
stopDrag();
I am desparate for help on this must get project ready for this afternoon
Seal55

there's nothing wrong with that code but it would be better to use:
circle.onPress = function(){
this.startDrag();
circle.onRelease = function(){
this.stopDrag();
but that won't solve your problem. there must be something else going on like a depth issue. you may need to use swapDepths() to bring your circle under the mouse when releasing.

Mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account. Exchange server receives/sends OK

mail receives OK but will not send for smtp account. Exchange server receives/sends OK I'm away from home, using a family-member's wireless network that has always worked OK in the past. Today, the same problem occured while waiting in a hospital waiting lounge. Any ideas?

The outgoing mail server may be rejecting mail from your network address. Typically that happens when your mail service provider is also your ISP, and you connect to it from another network. The SMTP server will allow connections without a password from anywhere, but it will only relay mail from within the ISP's network. It could also be that your account on the server has expired or been suspended.
If you need to send mail from outside your ISP's network, use an independent mail service provider. I don't have a specific recommendation.

PSE 9 Preferences:Saving Files will not stick

MacOSX 10.6, Photoshop Elements 9 - I have tried (lots of times) to set the Append File Extension: preference to Always and to check Use Lower Case. It will not stick. The next time I go into Preferences it is back to Never and the check box is unchecked. My other preference changes all seem to be saved correctly. Why does this one not save?

Let me start this with....in OS 9.2.2 I am able to delete files that are not needed from the system folder. For some odd reason when I try this in 10.3.9 it murders my system...needless to say I have printer extensions, scanner estensions,modem stuff and other not needed things living in there.
Recently I did nothing like that but also had to forcequit a program to only find that everything I opened ...might open once then it would tell me that there was an error---spit the number out---and the program would not open.
I had to do an install/archive then update to 10.3.9 again in order to gain the use of my computer and programs.
You may need to do the same thing...it is llike the cleam install of OS 9, where it replaces the system folder and stores your things into a "safe folder" to return when done. Some items may need to be manually moved and lke my printer/scanner, it needed to be reinstalled.
Insert the install cd and boot to it. Use the disk utility to repair the hd (go under the file menu I think), then choose the install and archive option (click the option button to find it). See if that helps.
Edited by MaryW cause she can't type...LOL
