Does Itunes open any malicious ports on a pc that can provide hackers a wa?

My supervisor has successfully convinced the company manager that allowing users to have iTunes was against company policy because it opens ports that puts our network at risk. I have not been able to find any documentation that supports him but neither have I found any to dispute him. He is an apple hater and that, I believe is his real reason. I would like to be able to have the real scoop on this, any ideas? Thanks for any input.

There's information on the ports that Apple Software use in the following document:
["Well known" TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1629]
(The iTunes, BonJour and QuickTime information in there is relevant.)
For more information on specific domains and so forth that iTunes uses (under "Configure your security software" in the "Useful information for configuring your security software" section), see the following document:
[iTunes for Windows: Troubleshooting security software issues|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3125]

  • Motion 5 program does not open any more

    It is only the second time that I am using program Motion 5 and I only see the first small screen : does not open any more.
    Is there anubody who can help me ?

    When you say first small screen I assume you are referring to the splash screen. If so you need to double click on a template or new project icon. You can also choose from the list of projects/templates on the left listing or choose a preset on the right. Just double click on what you want or select and choose open at the bottom of the window. Motion will then open for you.

  • Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?

    Does iTunes have any hidden picture controls for video playback (e.g. contrast, brightness) ?
    I haven’t been able to find any.
    Since the .m4v file type appears to prevent any video bought or rented from the iTunes Store from being played using any other program the lack of these picture controls - if indeed they are lacking - make it seriously deficient as a video player.

    Thanks for the rapid response to my enquiry.
    I know that it’s possible to adjust the monitor’s performance via System Preferences but it is rather long-winded and I’d rather not alter the settings for the entire screen (and then have to change them all back once finished) when it’s only the video playback window that needs adjustment.
    Since iTunes provides various options using the Equalizer for adjusting sound playback it seems rather odd that they don’t have a similar panel for video.
    Regarding QuickTime.
    Apparently earlier versions (such as 7) had picture controls but the current version (10.4) does not.
    I assume Apple are phasing out QT whose development seems to have stopped - or rather gone backwards since it now lacks capabilities it once had - and intend in future to treat iTunes as their universal media player which no doubt makes sense from their point of view.
    I wasn’t aware of the .m4v file type when I made my first and probably last video purchase via iTunes yesterday and didn’t realise that it would restrict my options for playback so completely.
    The experience has really put me off buying any additional video from the iTunes Store.
    Back to DVDs.

  • When does d4s get added to the list of camera that can tether on Lightroom

    when does d4s get added to the list of camera that can tether on Lightroom 5?

    Well, I got very tired of waiting for Adobe to support my Nikons so I use a Camranger, their computer and tablet app and tether wirelessly to LR. Yes, there is a bit of a delay amounting to a few seconds but in practice my customers love it and have not complained. I use the few seconds to better connect with them, answer questions, etc. Being wireless gives me more range of movement and I have one less cord. The Camranger goes in an old phone holster that clips to my shirt or pants pocket, connected by a 3 ft cord.
    You need to enable auto import in LR and point it to the folder that Camranger saves the files to. Since it is an import you can use presets if you wish. I've not seen a downside yet and Camranger has support for new cameras very quick like. An added plus is having full wireless functionality for your camera via the Camranger apps. You can change any setting, focus, use live view, etc.. using a phone, tablet or laptop.

  • Is there any limit on Number of items that can be created in SBO2005B

    Is there any limit on Number of items that can be created in SAP Business One 2005B.
    We are working for button manufacturer.
    Each button will have type,color, size, thickness.
    There are about 100 types, 40 colors, 30 sizes, 10 thickness, 500 models.
    It looks to be approximately above 30lacs item codes has to be created.
    Is there any performance issues or any other known issues towards the large item lists.

    Hi,
    There is no real limit on the number of items you can create (well, the item code is a 20 character key so theoretically the limit is the total number of possible combinations of letters and characters in that key).
    Performance can be an issue with a large inventory, as well as database size (particularly if you have a large inventory and a large number of warehouses). Some issues such as the speed of lookups can be avoided by changing system settings but other issues such as the speed of inventory reports are inevitable going to take longer for larger inventories.
    Have you done any research on looking for SBO addons for the clothing industry? It might be worth searching the CPSN for such addons (ie ones that can deal with sizes, colours etc) as these may help greatly in keeping the number of stock items down to a minimum.
    Kind Regards,
    Owen

  • Photoshop Elements 8 does not open any files

    Dear Community,
    today I booted my adobe photoshop elements 8.0 to do some picture editing. But when I try to open a file nothing happens. And I mean nothing. Photoshop just keeps on running but it doesn nothing with the command I gave it. It doesn't show a new image, there isn't even a new file in the open files container, which normally shows you which files you have open. I've tried different images. Jpegs, pngs and I even tried a raw image to check whether the Raw converter starts, this doesn't happen eighter.
    First thing I tried after that was to reset photoshop elements using ctrl-alt-shift, but that didn't help eighter.
    Does anyone have any idea what I could try to fix this???
    Short info on the system:
    Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 on Windows XP with all the latest updates.
    Thanks in advance!

      Can you open a file directly from a folder by right-clicking and choosing Open With.
    Then select PSE8 or navigate to the exe file.
     

  • Adobe Reader does not open any PDF when double clicked/hit enter once.

    Adobe Reader 11 does not open when I double click/hit enter on a PDF document. I need to hit enter multiple times to open a document once. This ends up creating multiple AcroRd32.exe.
    It's very annoying that I need to hit enter multiple times even to open a single PDF file.
    This is how my task manager looks, even after closing any opened PDF file.
    I've tried re-installing adobe reader multiple times, but same issue recurs again and again.
    Please help.
    Thanks,

    It worked. I don't see why the Protected Mode is enabled in the first place, if it were to cause issues.
    Anyways, thanks Sabian,
