Firewall port open but not accessible

Hi Folks,
I am trying to open port 587 in OSX server 10.3.9. I've gone to 'Firewall --> Settings --> Advanced', clicked on the 'add' key and set up a new port as follows:
Action: allow
Protocol: tcp
Service: other
Source Address: any; Port: 587
Desintation Address: any; Port 587
Interface: other
Doing this will NOT result in port 587 opening. I know it's not open because if I turn the firewall service 'OFF', I can access that port. However, with the service 'ON', I can't get through.
Any help would be most appreciated.
Regards,
Luke

Your rule is too specific.
You're telling the firewall to allow traffic that is coming from port 587 on the remote machine to port 587 on your machine.
AFP connections only use a destination port of 587. The source port could be any available port number on the remote system, and would probably never be less than 1024.
Change the rule so that 'Source address' is 'any' and you should be fine.

  • Computer says firefox is open but cant be found so I have to close computer and start over. computer says firefox is open but not responding

    computer on,icons showing,open firefox and I get a firefox is open but not responding.Computer tells me to close computer programs and restart. when I go to close, no programs are open. I hit cancel on shutting down and go back to firefox icon and It opens.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • When I open logic express 8 with eyetv open but not active and i close logic express 8 and make eyetv active it won't show closed captioning even though closed captioning is turned on

    when I open logic express 8 with eyetv open but not active and i close logic express 8 and make eyetv active eyetv won't show closed captioning even though closed captioning is turned on.  When I totally close eyetv and reopen eyetv and open a live tv window the closed captioning comes back.  I never noticed this with os leopard, Just after i installed os snow leopard.  All software is up to date only I think, thanks to apple they droped support for logic express.  Thanks for any suggestions.

    Does toggling CC off & back on bring it back?
    "Try Disk Utility

    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

  • ICal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed on alert.

    iCal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed.

    Calendar (not called iCal anymore) does not include that capability any longer, apparently.  What you have to do now is go to Automator and create a Calendar Alert action.  You can add a Run AppleScript object to the action and paste in your script there, then when you save it, it will become available as a choice in the alert menu in Calendar.

  • IPad will open but not display information entered on a form sent as a PDF.

    iPad will open but not display information entered on a PDF file. Same file will open and display all information on my iMac. Anyone had this problem?

    I think that you are trying to view a form fields PDF file and you cannot see the content that was filled in on those fields. Form fields will not show in the mail app or in iBooks. Download Adobe Reader for the iPad. It is free and it offers a lot of features for a free app. Save that PDF to Adobe Reader and see if the text in the fields appear.

  • Itunes opens, but not completely (transparent)

    First, I uploaded iTunes using a CD. Then I tried downloading from the iTunes website. Both times I get the same result...
    When I double-click the iTunes shortcut on my desktop, iTunes opens but not completely. Only the text becomes visible (like File Edit View...across the top. And some text toward the bottom of the program). Everything else seems to be transparent. Any help would be great.

  • Windows Firewall has a port open but when I do a port scan the port is closed

    Hello,
    I have a new door entry device that is being installed that has a internal IP address of say 192.168.200.12 that requires port 3001 to be open. The device is reachable via ping and is plugged into a HP Procurve 2910al switch that is connected or supposed
    to be connected to the the server for the KeyScan software at 192.168.200.13 but even with the TCP/UDP ports opened up on port 3001 the server at 200.13 it can't communicate with the device at 200.12 on the required port of 3001.
    Ironically I ran Zenmap to see if the port was open and it's not even registering the port as being open.
    I'm doubtful it's our Sonicwalls since this is a internal address; we are running a 32 server Windows Server 2008 R2 network that is running perfectly fine.
    What could I do to allow this device to communicate with the server even if the firewall is disabled or has holes poked into it?

    The vendor that was here to install it (CCTV) said that port 3001 needs to be open in order for the key-entry program on the server (a normal Windows 7 fat client) to communicate with the device in question @ 192.168.200.12.
    In my experience for Windows all you would need to do is either disable the windows firewall or poke a hole in the firewall for TCP/UDP on port 3001 for this to work.
    We run a network of purely on HP Procurve switches (that functions perfectly fine for over 1200+ user network) so were not dealing with a Cisco switching security issue so I'm left to think outside of the box or in this sense inside of the box. I'm doubtful
    it's our network but then again I've never had to open a port for a device that you can't physically manage.
    The device in question as stated before is like the hub that all of the key-entry scanners from all 150 doors tied into that then communicates via the IP in question to the key-entry server. in theory it should be simple but lol nothing ever goes smoothly!!!!
    any ideas?

  • Photos visible in iPhoto application but not accessible for upload

    Any help anyone can provide with this is greatly appreciated. I took pictures of a friends wedding and have been trying to order a photobook as a gift. I decided to try to use iPhoto to make the book. I don't use iPhoto very often and at the start of this, my iMac was running on the Tiger OS and an old version of iPhoto (I think 5 or 6). After completing the  first version of my photobook, I tried to place an order, but got a message that my version of iPhoto wasn't supported any longer and I'd  have to upgrade.
    I called the Apple store and ordered the Mac Box Set to upgrade my operating system to Snow Leopard and my iLife to version 11. The woman at the Apple store had me check my system info., available space, etc. and she assured me that my system should be able to handle the upgrade. I went ahead with the upgrade, loading the new operating system first and then iLife. The install seemed to go just fine, I never got any error messages and all the applications appear to function properly. So, I used the new version of iPhoto to create a photobook. I then placed the order the first time. On my end the process went smoothly and the upload completed without interruption. However, I got an e-mail message 4 days later saying my order couldn't be completed because files did not upload properly. So, I tried to place the order again, following the instructions to make sure that all my other applications were closed, etc. Once again the process seemed to be completed without any issues. However, now a week later, I once  again got the error message that my order could not be completed because files did not upload properly.
    So, I decided to try to place an order through a different vendor. Now I have discovered that all my recent photos (despite appearing in the iPhoto) are not accessible when I try to access them for upload to the vendor's site. The icon for iPhoto library is grayed out and there is no longer an option to access my photo rolls through finder. So, now I am unable to place the order for the photobook.
    Can anyone help me figure out how to fix this? Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

    Nothing to be fixed. Just a little learning for you.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • 1 USB port charge but not recognise my iphone the othe one works fine

    Hey guys,
    I have MacBook Air 11-inch, Mid 2012
    1 USB port just charges my phone but not recgnise it. I tried a flash drive and it didn't recgnise it as well
    It was working well but all of a sudden it stopped working
    please help

    Try resetting the PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. If issues persist, your Mac's logic board battery (not a portable Mac's rechargeable battery) may need to be replaced. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down. You can take your Mac to a Mac Genius or Apple Authorized Service Provider to replace the battery on the logic board.

  • Organizer will not open after I tried backing up photos on external hard drive on Mac. Editor opens, but not Organizer. This is a repost of a problem first reported 10 days ago.

    Organizer will not open after I tried backing up photos on an external hard drive on Mac. Editor opens, but will not launch Organizer. Have tried clearing the catalogs, but nothing works. This was first reported 10 days ago. Had to be out of the country for a week - without photoshop working-- and now I'm back with the same problem. Can someone please help, or do I dump this and try to get some help just reloading the program?

    jnrmendonca
    It had 4 years of photos and videos on it.
    To what did your camera record those photos and videos - camera's internal memory, inserted memory card, other?
    Any remote chance that the latter may still exist for you to use to download the camera files to your new external hard drive?

  • Windows not showing. Page source and library windows open but not showing.

    I select View --> Page Source and no window appears. Under the Window menu, the item Source: . . . shows but no window. If I close the main window then the item is ticked but still no actual window.
    I have disable all extensions and plugins, safe mode, revert all preferences.
    the same happens with Show all Bookmarks. This is why I posted this under bookmarks problems originally - see below.
    I now find the same happens to downloads and Error console windows. No problems in Safari or MS Word (usually the worst performer)

    Mac OS 10.6.8 FF 5.01 Show all bookmarks shows no window, even if I close the main window. Under window menu the 'Library' item is ticked but still nothing. I have restarted, and renamed places database. recently installed some of these addons

    The one that solved it was my own last post, which does not have a Solved it.
    I copied the FF profile folder from another login and started with that.
    However. . . the problem is back. I installed extensions, NoScript and MyBookmarks and it seemed OK after that.
    Then I installed Download Youtube videos + 3.3.51, then DownThemAll! 2.0.7, Google Shortcuts 2.1..6, ImTranslator, QuickWiki and Read It later. No Plugins ennabled.
    when I disable all extensions then the windows for downloads, error console and 'open link in new window appear OK, but not the source or Library windows.
    As before they are on the window menu but no way to make them visible.

  • Locking files so they can be opened but not saved in a modified state on another machine

    I'm creating a batch of files for trainees in my work environment to help them learn an application.  I'm trying to lock the files so they always start out in the same state I left them in.  I want the students to be able to open the files, work in them, but NOT accidentally hit "SAVE" before closing out, thereby modifying them, preventing the next student who opens them from having the same clean slate the first one had. 
    I've tried locking the files in "GET INFO", and I've tried changing Privileges from "read & write" to "read" only for all fields.  This works on the computer on which I created the projects, but the locks and privilege changes are gone when I copy the files to students machines, email them or otherwise transport them off the original machine on which they were created.  It's not practical to go to each students machine and manually relock and change privelages there.  These projects have to be distributed to many Macs in many locations. 
    As a fall back position, is there a way of locking, and/or changing the "read & write" option to "read" on multiple files at the same time so it isn't necessary to open each of about 50 files on each students machine and manually lock them?
    Thanks.

    If they don't need to edit them, save them as PDFs.
    If they do need to edit them, mark them as Stationary. When you open a piece of Stationary, you get a new, untitled copy of the original document.  I suppose they might be able to still save over the top of the original stationary, but not without warning.
    You can set the permissions for all the documents within the same folder by using the "Apply to Enclosed" command in the Gear menu in the Get Info dialog. Set the folder to Read Only, then Apply to Enclosed. You could still use the Stationary trick as that would create a new, untitled copy that has to be saved somewhere else, and would likely remove the "you can't edit this file" dialogs.
    I think the command line copy utilities may be able to copy without changing permissions. Look for info on cp or ditto.
