Anything for OS X like ShieldsUP?

For many of the years I had been using PCs running Windows, I was able to check the security of my firewall by using the Gibson Research on-line tool "ShieldsUP!". This tries to access various ports and reports whether any are visible, etc., to the outside world. (My combination of the firewall in my router and ZoneAlarm software firewall blocked all visibility outside.)
Is there anything for OS X like this?

If you are behind a router you do not need to worry. If no Router, make sure your firewall is on. Enable stealth mode.
You can look at little snitch, this monitors outgoing connections

Hi shldr2thewheel,
it has been a while since we have last spoke, I would like to let you know, I am still working on getting used to the switch from windows to a Mac/Apple system. I do have a new question for you, I did purchase In Design CS5.5 through journeyed.com through Cuyahoga Community College of which I attend as a student, is there a way to purchase an online book through iTunes to learn that as well? Also, you know me, the struggling student, I would also, when and if the book can be purchased through the iTunes, would need to know if you do know of a much easier book for struggling students like myself and at a reasonable price as well for the In Design CS5.5 program. Our campus bookstore had closed early, and, so did the colleges library and our local library here where I do live, so, I cannot go to either place to purchase a book or to take out a book, plus cash funds are low at this moment as well but, I do have money left on the iTunes account to use, if it can be used. So, can it be used, the iTunes money, towards finding a low priced online book? I am in great need of assistance as I have a project due for my one course for this Tuesday, September 4, 2012.
Sincerely in need of help once again,
Kim

My ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but won't run anything that uses it like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it

Can anyone help me? my ipod touch says it is connected to wifi, but it won't run anything that uses wifi like safari or itunes, and I don't know how to fix it

You didn't indicate if it ever worked. If it NEVER did, the problem could be caused by a firewall in the router. For reasons that I do not understand, that will affect IOS (iPod/iPad) communication but will not affect computers or other devices.
You will need administrative access to the router. If a firewall is present, turn it off and test the iPod again. If it works, turn the firewall back on but weaken it a notch and test the iPod again. Repeat as required.

When I turn on firefox the sound of an alarm begins and keeps going. I did not download or add or open anything. A sound like the old pacman game initiates the never ending alarm. It does not occur with safari and ends if I close firefox.

dont have google open in a tab!!!!!!!!
(if you are one who opens FF and it opens google then immediately open another tab to go to a site then just visit the site from the page that opened without opening a new tab)
OR
if you have cool preview then disable that
(the sound is for the celebration of 30 years of pacman and you can play the game on google's homepage)

Changing your iTunes Store country:
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. If already signed in to an account, from Settings, choose Store and then View Account.
Tap "Change Country of Region" and follow the on screen process of changing your region. Agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.
This is from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
If you get an error, then contact: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/

I have had a dot mac account for years. Do is still have to pay anything for this?

I have had a dot mac account for years, with my family also having .mac email addresses and me having to pay for it each year. It then changed to me.com and then icloud? Do i still have to pay anything for this if i just want the email addresses? Or do i only have to pay when i want extra icloud storage?

Thanks Csound. For storing stuff like Imovie (using the Theatre service) Is the icloud storage the best, most cost effective way or are there other (cheaper/better) palces to store movies in the 'Cloud'? thanks again

The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that wifi network

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

Hi, why can't I use the iMessage on my iPhone? I've already had my apple id email on it but it keeps saying "waiting for activation" always like that. No progress. Could anybody help me on this? Cheers

I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
iOS version 6.1.6
I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
Here is what finally worked:
1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

It seems Apple is having some issues at their end. There have been hundreds of posts on the forum with the same problem.

How can I search for a string like a partial IP address in the global search

When searching for a string like "10.255." the global search finds messages containing "255" or "10" and both.
This happens no matter whether quotation is used or not.
When quotation is used it probably will match on the given order as well, but beeing in the timezone '+0100' the string "10" is always found first (in the email headers...).
Is there a way to tell the global search not to use '.' or any other character as whitespace?

I have 2 point security for AppleID. My iPhone 4S is listed as my trusted phone to text. No tel. no. is given. I am updating to iPhone 6Plus with same tel. no. Do I need to change anything for the sign in verification?

Of course You can also add your iPhone telephone # as a trusted device.
This way when you insert your SIM card into any phone, Apple will automatically recognize your cell phone # as a
trusted device (may be handy if iphone breaks but you insert SIM card into another phone).
HOWEVER:
Having also your iPhone as a trusted device, is convenient if you travel and use a different SIM card
at destination. This way you can still use the iphone for verification, even though you are using a different
phone #.

Automated build server for Arch? (like the sourceforge build system)

Has someone considered some kind of automated build system for Arch?
Something that would work like this:
- It'd have every library and dependency possible installed.
- It'd intelligently read the makefiles produced to see what libraries they used and compare them against a lookup table to see what Arch dependencies they then required. Failing that, it could use ldd and a second lookup table that matched libraries to packages.
- It'd attempt to figure out the target binary to run (again, from the makefiles produced), and then run it. If it worked, it'd be marked as usable. If it didn't work, it'd be marked as needing fixing.
All of these points can fail, especially in the parsing of the makefiles; in each case, this would be noted by the system and user action could be taken.
In operation, it wouldn't take away from users managing their own packages. It'd just provide a secure environment to build packages in, and attempt to automate some of the process. In the best cases, the system would theoretically be capable enough to download a package's sourcecode, ./configure it, make it, make a package out of it, get the package verified as usable, then update the repo with it.
Note the verification step in the previous paragraph: I would never want this to be an automated system. Sure, it sound amazing on paper, and might even work for a little while, but sooner or later something would come crashing down and since repo management is quite a trust-based issue, everyone would freak out and they wouldn't want the build server anymore.

Who would have access to upload to such a build server? If it's the general public, then this is a security nightmare, as well as a growth curve nightmare. The monetary investment for a project like this would need to come from somewhere.
And yeah, something like this has been considered, and a working proof-of-concept has been sitting around for years. http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=pacbuild.git;a=summary . What this kind of project really needs is someone with some distributed computing smarts and dedication (and time) to get it off the ground in a form that will survive past a proof-of-concept barebones implementation.
One of the largest design challenges would be dependency resolution for batch upgrades. For instance, let's say we update libfoobar, which is depended upon by foo, bar, baz, and batman, the system needs to know that libfoobar needs to be built and installed in order to compile the rest of them against it.
