Exception for syslogd in com.apple.alf.plist doesn't work after 10.5.6 upgd

(This is cross-posted from the 10.5 Ins and Setup forum [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8902103#8902103], per the suggestion of a reader.)
In 10.5.4, I added /usr/sbin/syslogd to the exception list in /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/com.apple.alf.plist.
This allowed me to keep the mediocre application firewall set to "allow only essential services" and still allow my router to send syslog messages to a log on my Mac.
I upgraded to 10.5.6 (straight from 10.5.4). Since the upgrade, it appears that the application firewall ignores the additional exception entry I added.
I've tried moving the exception entry up (replacing the one for configd), but it doesn't matter. I already know about /Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist, so you don't need to suggest that I delete it. It's re-created (as a binary) each time you unload/load the launchctl for syslogd, and it does appear to use the file in /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/com.apple.alf.plist.
The only two ways I've found to allow syslogd through are:
1. disable the app firewall (choose "allow all incoming connections" (not my preferred solution)
2. choose "set access for specific services and applications", which unfortunately allows all the specified applications (and probably allows Apple's hidden list of exceptions that includes things like World of Warcraft and Skype). The hidden list opens the machine to a greater number of attacks from trojan software, and I'd rather have the system locked down, not opened up.
Does anyone know how I can recover the 10.5.4 functionality, which allowed me to add syslogd as an exception, instead of adding it to the GUI list of applications?

I also want to receive log information from my Draytek Router I found a reference in the Draytek forum see:
http://www.forum.draytek.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=12009&highlight=syslog+mac
however when I updated the
com.apple.syslogd.plist
the required information did not get thru to the Draytek Syslog program.
I am also using 10.5.6

Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist---Should be 80, group is 0

I am new to the Mac world, so please bear with me. I have freeze up issues with beachballs delux on my mid 2011 21.5 iMac with 2.5 GHz Intel Core I5 processor. When I run repairing permissions, it resolves the problem for a few days, but then returns back to the same problem. It says "Library/Preferences?Com.apple.alf.plist. Should be 80, group is 0
Can anyone tell me how to resolve this freeze up problems? I origiginally had Lion operating system and when I upgraded to Mountain Lion the issue was better, but did not totally cure this.

The next time you have the problem, note the exact times when it starts and ends: hour, minute, second.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Scroll back in the log to the time you noted above. Post any messages timestamped during that interval – the text, please, not a screenshot.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

Group differs on "Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist";

As the title suggests I got this issue which is annoying because it is causing high inactive memory & this obstacles all the rest . Means I must do 2-3 times a day repair permissions with Disk Utility .
Group differs on “Library/Preferences/com.apple.alf.plist”;
It gets repaired & then all over again . So far I could not find a solution . I have already sent feedback to Apple .
That's all folks , if anyone knows how to handle this it would be nice , at least until there is an official response .
Thank you , have a nice day .

I actually have this all the time. com.apple.alf.plist is always repaired whenever Disk Utility repairs permissions.
I also came across somewhere that it was included in the solution for a problem about iTunes requesting permission to access internet everytime it is launched. And I had that issue as well. (iTunes asks for my permission for internet access everytime I launch it.) And the solution proposed for this included the deletion of this "com.apple.alf.plist" regarding a firewall issue. Although I deleted the file, Disk Utility still repairs this file (though iTunes haven't yet asked for internet permissions.) everytime I run the permission repair.
I suppose there has got to be a solution to keep the file stable, like without causing the repair.
Not a big issue, as mentioned in the thread title; but still, this may be the cause or result of something going on in the computer; so any suggestions are welcome.
Cheers!

Missing com.apple.alf.plist, and can't re-create it

All of my browsers are blocking content I believe due to a missing com.apple.alf.plist file. I've ran Repair Disk and Repair permissions, but it doesn't bring it back. Is there a manual way I can re-create the file?

OK, Since I haven't gotten any responses about this it must be a complicated issue. Just as a quick check could some of you good people out there look at the "Get Info" window for the systempreferences.app and see if your permissions look like mine? I'm still having trouble with the firewall settings not acting as expected such as apps and processes that I have approved/denid connection access not showing up in the firewall pane of system preferences and having to reapprove each startup. Thank you in advance for any help on this.

Com.apple.alf.plist file keeps changing group membership

Hey All, I've read several discussions about this issue. The com.apple.alf.plist file keeps changing group membership from admin to wheel. Disk Utility repair changes the group membership to admin but it will change back to wheel during normal use of the computer, it seems that accessing systempreferences.app and security preferences will change the group to wheel.
I don't really want to get into a discussion about the wheel account, unless necessary, but since this is a very important system settings file I'd like it to work correctly. I have noticed several issues with the firewall not responding as expected such as turning off by itself, and app settings changing or disappearing from the security preference pane. So, I have deleted the plist file and restarted as recommended on other discussions but the issue always returns during normal use. I think it might be the application owning the plist file causing the issue, but I am not sure which one owns the plist file. I assume it would be systempreference.app since I think it is a firewall plist file. The permissions for systempreferences.app is strange also;
- everyone - custom
- system    - read/write
- wheel      - read/write
- everyone -read
This may be the culprit but I tried to make a minor change, so as not to mess up the operating system, and disk utility repair permissions just puts it back the way it was.   Any ideas about this would be very appreciated.
Note: I have done a complete system reinstall and the issue still returns.

Apple Universal Dock doesn't work after full charge

last night, I put my ipod nano into the Apple Universal Dock.
I worked just find with the apple remote.
I stopped the music using the remote, then watched TV about 2 hours.
After that, I saw my ipod was full charged, and the dock station hasn't worked any more.
Also, the remote doesn't work as well.
I can use the play button on the ipod, but no sound out anyway.
There is another archive thread with the similar problem to me, but no answer yet.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7734050

Anyone used to face this problem before, and got any idea/solution? help please?
or do I need to send it to the store where I bought?

Apple mail.app doesn't work after joining google+

I use apple's mail.app to manage my multiple emails. on my main personal gmail i joined google+. ever since joining google+, mail.app no longer imports any email from that account. i can still send email through mail.app but no new received emails import into mail.app
any help resolving this issue?

I found some solutions I find unacceptable in this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1596183&tstart=0
For some people just restarting the phone seems to fix it. For others they have to do a complete factory reset and set up the phone as a new phone it appears as if something is corrupted in the backup, so restoing from backup will bring back the same issue.
This stinks because it means that you lose all your backed up information (except calendar and contacts, which are stored separately)
I'm still looking for an alternate solution.

Apple BT keyboard doesn't work after OS update

When I booted up a day after installing the latest Maverick update, my Apple BT keyboard no longer pairs with my iMac. It paired with a laptop at the Apple store, and the BT mouse still works. A clean reinstall of the OS hasn't helped.

This is sort of basic stuff, but maybe it will help:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2662
If that does not help, I would (pain, I know) bundle everything up and take it to an Apple store genius bar for diagnosis.
FWIW, I have not seen posts that indicate any Bluetooth connectivity problems with OS X 10.9.2...

HT4362 How do I fix my Apple TV, it doesn't work after 2013 upgrade. I only have a blinking white light . What is bricking?

How do i fix my Apple TV after the sept 2013 upgrade? Can I get it back to the way it was? I shouldn't have to buy a USB cord for it apple did this to my applet tv not me!

No you shouldn't have to buy a USB to microUSB cable I agree, it should have been in the box.
Unfortunately though that's what you need.
Personally I would take it to a nearby Apple store, if you don;t have one contact support and complain.

New apple wireless keyboard doesn't work after upgrade to leopard on mini

I am posting this because I have not seen anybody else post this issue, but it is fixed at this point.
I installed the new apple ultra slim wireless keyboard on my mac mini about a month ago...was working great...until I upgraded to Leopard. The keyboard would connect, and the esc, function, and arrow keys would work great. However, none of the letter, number, or enter keys would work. This was all observed using the 'show keyboard viewer', which is accessible by allowing 'show input menu in menu bar' from the 'international' system preference pane.
I rebooted many times and even updated to the latest leopard patch set.
During this whole time, the wireless mighty mouse has worked without issue.
I removed the device and added several times with no change. I even moved the wireless keyboard to my G5 and it worked great over there.
After a few days of trying various things to no avail, I was finally able to get the keys to work, but I am not sure why. I had a wired keyboard connected and kept going back and forth between the wireless and wired keyboard and all of a sudden it started working. Very strange.

this problem is fixed, but if anybody has an idea what happened, I would like to know.

System files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.

ICal refusing to open (com.apple.ical.plist file missing)

I have tried opening iCal and it refuses to open. The icon bounces on the dock, then asks if I want to report the issue to Apple. I have reported multiple times but I don't know how reporting it will help my iCal work again. (See below the dashed line for the error report.)
Since then, I have tried to replace iCal, but the software claims it cannot be installed on this machine.
I have tried to update my current iCal, but no updates are available.
I have browsed the forums and saw that some solutions were if HelveticaNeue was missing from my fonts. Got it.
And then I saw some threads about refreshing the com.apple.ical.plist... That's a problem. I don't have that file in my library at all. I can't seem to find any way to get it either. What can I do?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I would suggest using optional install to reload iCal from your installation disks, then download the combo update for your machine and run. Then see will iCal start. If it doesn't, use console.app to see what error messages it reports.
com.apple.ical.plist... That's a problem. I don't have that file in my library at all. I can't seem to find any way to get it either.
It is created by iCal when it runs.

Any wise wisdom?
Thanks, Chris.

The .plist files are almost always preferences. I believe "plist" is short for "property list". It contains a list of keys (configuration options) and settings for each key, similar in some respects to the way the Windows Registry works, except that there is a separate file for each set of settings, instead of a single registry file as in Windows. In this case it's a shared settings file for Mail, but I couldn't tell you anything more about the contents.
You were smart to back it up. Usually .plist files can be deleted without signicant loss, because they will be recreated automatically with default settings. But sometimes they contain important settings that may be hard to set up again, especially if you had help setting up your computer in the first place, or have lost important details that you'd need for setting up an app, such as Mail. But sometimes the settings are trivial, for example the position and size of windows, etc., and do not contain settings you'd care about, which may be in another .plist file or in some other kind of file/database.

Missing com.apple.dashboard.plist files

Just upgraded (Tiger 10.4.12 to Leopard 10.5.2). Everything groovy except for Dashboard which will not launch because there is no com.apple.dashboard.plist file in my Library.
Any remedies? Or am I going to have to start again and reinstall Leopard to get Dashboard working?

I did a complete ERASE and INSTALL upgrade, so all the former Tiger settings were wiped, or should have been.
Prior to the install I backed up my own files to an external.
The very first thing I did after the install was to run Time Machine and back up the whole system to a second external. This initial backup does not contain any dashboard plist files either, so it looks like they didn't install!

HT5149 Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found. Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard

Hi, I still have problems reinstalling Final Cut Pro even though I followed these steps.
Reason why I have to reinstall is because I have repaired my Macbook Pro hard drive at a Mac Authorized Repair.
Short history of repair and my Final Cut Pro installation:
1. Macbook Pro stopped working, sendt it for repair. Had the Final Cut Pro installed,
2. Desided to try a MiniMac and recovered my backup with Time Machine, got the Final Cut Pro working.
3. Got my Macbook Pro back from repair, did backup on this one as well. But this time only the files not the Applications.
4. Removed the files as mentioned in HT5149. Didn´t find "com.apple.motionapp.plist" to remove though, but the others I found.
5. When I try to install Final Cut Pro from App Store, it downloads the application as planned. But after download it won´t show in the Application folder nor in the downloads folder, nor will it start an installation prosess. If I pause the installation in App Store, I can see the Final Cut Pro icon in my Dock. (But, as mentioned, after installation it won´t show neither here or in the Applications folder).
Any suggestions on what I should try now?
Thanks for any reply, I´m in deep water here...

Sounds like there is a file you're not getting. Never do a removal manually. It's so time consuming and a pain. There's a very easy and fast way to do this, safely, properly.
Get the free "Final Cut Remover" app from Digital Rebellion (dot com), use this to remove FCP X.
Reboot the Mac.
Download from scratch.
If you're not seeing FCP X in your app folder, run Disk Utility to Repair all drives.
If that doesn't help, try running Disk Warrior from Altsoft to repair the directories on all drives.

Exception for syslogd in com.apple.alf.plist doesn't work after 10.5.6 upgd
