Firewall enabled/changed after 10.5.6 update?

I did my 10.5.6 update remotely via SSH this morning. After restarting the server, it is now not responding to remote SMTP connections on either port 25 or 940 (alternate). I can SSH and WWW to the server fine, and from the box itself I can connect to those ports on localhost (so postfix itself is running ok). Did 10.5.6 unhelpfully turn on, modify, or otherwise screw with the firewall settings, and if so how can I disable it? ("tried ipfw disable firewall")? My server is behind a hardware firewall, I don't want the local firewall running.
I wish Apple would document changes like this.

Something would seem to have changed. They updated my MacBook Pro to 10.5.6 at the Genius Bar (right before they shipped it off to replace the logic board), and now the firewall blocks all my local connections—my network printer and all my other computers. Turning off the firewall completely re-establishes the local connections.
If anyone has an idea about how to fix this, let me know. I too have a hardware firewall in the router, but I usually keep the MacBook Pro's local firewall on as well, because I hate to have to remember to turn it on every time I take it out of the house. Before 10.5, this was easy to maintain; now it's a pain in the neck.

Can't enable FIPS after 34.0.5 update

When Firefox updated to the latest version all of my saved passwords disappeared. After a lot of trial and error I found the only way to recover my passwords was to restore Firefox from a backup and disable FIPS before updating. However, now I have updated to 34.0.5 I cannot re-enable FIPS. The instructions to enable it on Mozilla's website are outdated and do not apply to the latest version. The enable FIPS option is still there in security devices but when it is clicked nothing happens, except my passwords disappear again until I restart Firefox, and FIPS remains disabled. Does anyone know of a fix?

After downloading three app updates today, I find that I can no longer rearrange my app icons.
I hold the icon I wish to move and slide my finger once the icons begin to boogie but the image of the icon I'm moving is delayed by a full page distance from my directing finger. Then when I release my touch, the icon I'm trying to move simply snaps back into its previous location.
I've rebooted, reset, and resynced to no avail.
I sure hope I don't have to repeatedly go through the restore cycle to correct this problem.
Also, the backup while resyncing takes forever after this icon problem appeared. Is my iTunes calling home with excessive error reports the cause of this slowness?
Is the app update software is failing to write to disk correctly? There sure seems to be a corrupting influence somewhere in this updating process.
Can anyone offer a cure or even a clue here?

My font totally changed after the last Firefox update. It is a little smaller, less bold and very much less clear. Please tell me how to fix this.

The default font used on websites like Facebook, Craigslist, Google etc. has now become much worse since the last update. It is much less clear, it almost looks choppy and transparent. As if part of the letters are missing. Less bold and just a tad smaller as well. I would like to go back to the way the font used to look like, the way it does in Internet Explorer and Chrome.

hi miked91, this is probably caused by microsoft update kb3013455 which can cause font rendering issues on vista:
<blockquote>After you install security update 3013455, you may notice some text quality degradation in certain scenarios. The problem only occurs on systems that are running Windows Vista SP2 or Windows Server 2003 SP2. Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available. </blockquote>
<sup>reference: https://support.microsoft.com/kb/3013455</sup>
one option may be to [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/remove-update#1TC=windows-vista roll-back this particular update] for now until there is a fix by microsoft or you could also look if there is a [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL|graphics driver update]] available on the website of the vendor (intel/amd/nvidia) which might also resolve this problem in some cases.

Color change after 10.4.8 update

After the update, my eyes are picking up a universally light, bluish tinge (not as in light-blue, but as in a small amount of blue in the white) on my display (which is just the Macbook's LCD display, not an external one). Has anyone encountered this? Does anyone know a solution? I have tried to calibrate, but that didn't change anything. Maybe my eyes have something wrong with them, but the whites don't seem as "white" and the silver displayed on Safari's top toolbar doesn't seem as crisp.

I was able to return the previous color profile by copying a file called Color LCD-4271780.icc from another 10.4.7 system.

Color/Gamma changed after 8.0.2 update (Windows)

After I updated AE to 8.0.2, I noticed that clips are now being rendered a little lighter and sharper than before. Seems as if the color and/or gamma management was changed, but I'm almost certain it wasn't me because I never use those features. Here's how I noticed:
Last week, shortly after updating AE, I opened a project created in January in order to make some minor changes to a 30ss TV spot done entirely on AE. I was in a hurry, so after revising some text and graphics, I rendered only the required segment. Then, I proceeded to insert the partial AVI with the changes on top of the original AVI on a Premiere timeline.
Immediately, I noticed something odd. After doing an A/B comparison between the two at exactly the same point in time, the difference was obvious: Gamma was off. Switching off the revised AVI on track 2 revealed that the original was a bit darker. The new clip looked even a bit sharper, more highlighted. They didn't match so I had to render the whole 30ss spot again, or else, the cut would've been noticeable. It happened again on a second 30ss spot done on an entirely different project, which convinced me that it had to be the latest AE update.
From the beginning I worked both projects at 8 bpc, color management off, OpenGL entirely off and source material unchanged. All clips are rendered as AVI using the Blackmagic MJPEG codec, which I updated last December. Quicktime hasn't been updated either.
Has anyone else experienced this? Does anyone has a suggestion other than resetting preferences? Anything would be helpful.
Neil

In fact, both commercials have Quicktime (PNG) backgrounds from iStockPhoto. A MediaCore bug makes perfect sense to me. I'll check other projects that don't include .MOVs to see what happens. Thanks, Mylenium.

Brightness change after 10.5.8 update

Is it my imagination or did 10.5.8 change the display brightness? On my early 2006 20" core duo iMac I had to crank the screen brightness down to almost the bottom setting to get what I think I had before. Wonder if anyone else feels there was a change.

My Imac 'august 2007', also changed to full brightness.
However I am not able to lower the brightness.... well I can but after a reboot all is back to full brightness.
This is already causing me headaches as I am a professional photographer and was happy with the fact that all was calibrated well (I do this every 4 weeks).
However If I can't restore the brightness back to its lowest position, my calibration is way off!!! and recalibrating doesn't make sense this way!

Speaker Volume changed after 10.4.10 Update

Hi.
I updated to 10.4.10 recently and since then my speaker volume has gone quieter. i can barely hear something for example when i have 3 bars on the built-in onscreen volume meter.
I know that the speakers in my powerbook were better than those in my macbook pro, but this volume thing makes me crazy.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks & Greets, Oli

Hi Oli,
It takes some time but here's how..
Backup your User folder and all other data you want backed up/saved.
Boot from the OSX dvd, erase the drive and re-install a fresh system (probably 10.4.7 or 10.4.8 that came on ur dvd) after installing run all software updates but ignore the 10.4.10 one.
After software update tells you all that remains is the 10.4.10 update go to the apple downloads p-age and download the 10.4.9 (not combo) updater and run it.
Ur now back on 10.4.9, restore your backups and everything should be back to normal.
Use disk utility to verify/repair permissions before and after updates.
It takes a bit of work but downgrading was well worth the effort for me.
Cheers

Has anyone else had a problem with the Artist search buttons search peramiters changing after Apples latest ipod update ? I synced my ipod touch recently and it came up with a message saying a new update was available for the ipod but might take an hour .

Last time I synced my ipod touch it ofered me an update for the pod that could take about an hour , I did it and now it doesnt search properly . When I used the Artist tab at the bottom of my ipod before it would find every single song on the ipod by that artist (ie it searched by TRACK Artist) . Now it only find the songs by any given artist that are on Albums by that Artist (ie it searches by ALBUM Artist) What that means is it wont find any song by any Artist on a Various Artist CD . HAS ANYNOE ELSE GOT THIS PROBLEM OR A SOLUTION?

FYI: DefaultSelect behavior changed after Adobe update

Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard
Version: 8.2.2
Windows 7 64bit
After a recent automatic update, opening Acrobat defaults the selected tool to the Select tool instead of the hand tool. I've tried the following:
a- I've been all over the preferences page to no avail - I cannot find a place to set the default select to the Hand tool.
b- I found some references in the Unix forum about making the Hand tool the default select. Acrobat though doesn't use a .adobe folder.
c- I located the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Selection\aDefaultSelect (yes, aDefaultSelect) which is set to Select. I changed it to Hand, but when acrobat re-starts, it sets it back to Select
d- I tried using grep on my users folder for DefaultSelect to see if there was a file-based setting forcing it to select
Auugh!
After banging my head for a few, I started playing with the registry settings until I hit paydirt. The problem seems to be caused by the setting HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\8.0\Selection\bShowKeyboardSelectionCursor - this was set to 0x1 (boolean true). This setting corresponds to a setting on the Accessibility preferences page "Always display the keyboard selection cursor". When that's on, it forces default select to Select, ignoring the Hand setting.
I must say - that was a frustrating endeavor - I hope others benefit from this little excursion. I don't know how that setting was enabled (I didn't do it), but un-doing it was painful.
Take care,
Marc

Thanks for that tip. I have been frustrated by this change. I really appreciate it.

Re: Macbook Pro 10.6.8 RAM Upgarde to 8 GB
The amount of RAM is not dependant on the operating system. It is all about the model of you Mac.
10.6.8 is the version of OS X that is installed on your system. It has no real baring on the amount of RAM that CAN be installed.
Personally I have never had good luck with Corsair RAM. I have always had good luck with Crucial and Kingston.

After 3.6.4 update, FF will not open with imacros addon enabled.

After 3.6.4 update I can no longer run FF with the imacros addon enabled. Imacros has not released an update yet. How can I revert back to 3.6.3 until they do update? Or are there any other suggestions?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after 3.6.4 upgrade

Mathias,
Thank you for helping me (any so many others) back up and running :)
PS - Allowed my desktop (old pentium 4 running winxp) to update to FF3.6.4 and it worked just fine without the updated iMacros. Not sure what is different between the 2 machines, but figured you might like to have the info.

I'm having a similar problem with After Effects CC, cannot update to version 12.1 from 12.0....tried uninstalling AE, tried reinstalling CC app...no change.
I can install AE-CC 12.1 on a new machine without issue.
Please provide the files to be removed to force update.
I'm using 10.9 - Mavericks and cannot use AE without this update.

Attempted to install update manually but rcvd error listed below. Admin is not suppressing updates, I can confirm as I am the admin. Also, other apps update without issue.

Wallpaper Won't Change After Update to 10.5.8

My brand new MacBook Pro is having a problem. I am a total newbie, this is my first Mac ever.
I installed the update for Mac OSX 10.5.8 using the software update. After this, my desktop background is a plain blue screen. It will not change to any picture from the blue background screen. When I select a picture, it looks like it is applying the picture the background but the picture shown on the desktop does not change. Prior to the update, it was a picture I had taken.
Please help! I searched for answers, but I did not find anything. Please be detailed in your answers as I don't know this operating system yet.

Sounds like a hosed installation. Restore the bootable backup/clone you make of your system before installing the update. Don't have one? Then, restore your Time Machine backup. Don't have one of those either? Tsk, tsk. Get a bootable, external HD, and make a bootable backup/clone before updating. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall everything. Then, peruse these

and adopt the necessary habits to mitigate what happened to you.
On to your issue if you don't have any backup/clone to restore. Download and install the 10.5.8 COMBO update, repair permissions, and try resetting the Desktop picture (no wallpaper on Macs, that's a windoze thingy).
