Firewall resets rules on every reboot

Hello folks!
Not so long time ago, I had a problem with my FW, which I solved by flushing the rules from the console - solved my issue temporarily.
Whether the FW is turn on or off, when I run nmap, it renders all my running services as being 'filtered'. So, what I do on every reboot is to first start the console and run the ipfw flush, in order to fix this - on every reboot.
Once again - the state of the FW is of no difference.
No third party FW app running, such as waterroof etc; everything updated. Haven't played with the kext files, basically absolutely nothing. Cant remember the last time I installed something new - I am just using it as it is and found out about this when a need arose to access my stuff remotely, as well as sharing in an ethernet network.
Hope someone can see why s this happening. Thank you for reading.

The problem was solved.
What happened is that my iPhoto Folder is located on an external hard drive, nad it seems that by the time the computer OS X loads the external hard Drive is not running yet (differentely from the previous OS version).
To solve the problem, I copied the picture I wanted to use as background into my local hard drive, and then I loaded it as background !
Thanks for the help.

Have to reset PRAM on every reboot. Help

Hello,
I have a new to me Mac Pro 3,1. I did a fresh install of Yosemite. I'm having a big issue. Every time I restart the machine, it boots to a blank grey screen. Then I have to reset the pram and it boots into the OS X Utility. When I select the correct partition it boots correctly.
Everything operates correctly when it's booted up. I'm going to replace the system battery to see if that's why it's not holding the information.
The hard drive does pass smart status.
Any ideas? I'm out of ideas.
Thanks,

Have you set the startup disk in Startup Disk preferences? Give that a try.
Mac OS X- Gray screen appears during startup
That it sometimes boots into the Recovery HD suggests there is a problem with the system installation on the startup volume. Perhaps you might consider erasing the drive and reinstalling from scratch and remove everything that came from the previous owner. This is something you should do.
Install OS X Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

[solved'ish] volume levels reset to max every reboot...

hi, i have done some reading and alsa-store and alsa-restore and meant to run at startup and shutdown, obviously to store and resume alsa level settings, but every boot my levels are at max.... i have alsa-utils installed incase anyone asks.
Last edited by ninjaprawn (2012-11-23 16:02:14)

just trying to work through this issue myself... ran systemctl --all to see if I could see anything "odd" and found this;
alsa-restore.service loaded inactive dead Restore Sound Card State
alsa-store.service loaded inactive dead Store Sound Card State
I can understand the restore being dead, but surely store should be "waiting"? i will do some more playing... hopefully post a solution incase anyone else has this issue...
EDIT - in fact scrap that idea.... just checked the following;
systemctl show -p WantedBy alsa-store
WantedBy=shutdown.target
obviously, store is only meant to come alive at shutdown.... so either shutdown isnt starting it, or the service is failing..... more digging required....

SB X-Fi Notebook reset settings at every reboot

Hi,
Does anyone have an answer to this? Some magic button somewhere?

Ok, I'm going by the desktop Fatalty version, but the screeshots look similar so maybe it will help anyway...
If you start from the main screen under entertainment mode, click here:
[img"]http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/2/22/775483/Creative/Main.JPG" alt="">
That will take you to speaker set up. When you get there, click on the drop-down box and select 5. or 7. depending on the speaker setup you have:
<img height="248" src="http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/2/22/775483/Creative/Speakers.JPG" alt="" width="544" style="width: 544px; height: 248px">
(If you also check the "Synchronize with Control Panel" box, then whatever you have selected in THIS screen will also change your PCs speaker settings in your PCs control panel and vice versa. This may make life easier for you.)
Then click the "Main Display" button to the lower left of the display and click the X-Fi CMSS-3D button shown here...
<img height="247" src="http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/2/22/775483/Creative/3D.JPG" alt="" width="544" style="width: 544px; height: 247px">
You should see 5 speakers on the speaker display on the right:
<img height="248" src="http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/2/22/775483/Creative/Surround.JPG" alt="" width="544" style="width: 544px; height: 248px">
Even if there is something wrong with your setup, it should still show 5 speakers as the audio card doesn't detect your set up. Meaning that even if it can't play 5. speakers of surround sound, it will still DISPLAY 5. speakers. This is why I think your speaker settings are?set up wrong.
I hope this helps!

When dual-booting with Windows 7, Mac OSX time settings reset every reboot.

I have recently installed Windows 7 Professional on my mid 2010 MacBook Pro via BootCamp (Running Mavericks BTW). Everything runs grean and have not experienced any problems on the Windows side, but I have a problem with Mac OSX now. When I am using Windows 7, and I reboot into Mac OSX, I find that my time settings are wrong. It seems like my time zone has changed, because the date is correct, as well as the minutes, but the hour is always wrong. When I go to Date & Time in System Preferences, and my time zone is correct, but I still have to chage the hour in the time. Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to stop it would be greatly appreciated.

If you dual boot your Windows PC with OS X or Linux, you may have experienced a problem in which your clocks reset themselves incorrectly every time you boot into Windows. Here's a simple registry edit to fix that.
Essentially, the incorrect clock setting happens because OS X and Linux use GMT time while Windows tries to synchronize with your local time zone, getting confused when you reboot between the two. Apple's own Boot Camp drivers for Windows are supposed to fix this problem, though some users have noticed that it still happens even with the drivers installed, and some Linux users are left out in the cold. Furthermore, if you have a Hackintosh, you can't install the Boot Camp drivers, so you'll need to find another way around the problem.
To fix it, just hit Start and type regedit.exe in the search box. Hit Enter and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation. Right click anywhere in the right pane and hit New > DWORD (32-bit) Value. Name it RealTimeIsUniversal, then double click on it and give it a value of 1.
Lastly, reboot into OS X, then reboot back into Windows. You should now notice that your clock actually displays the correct time.

Gnome resets all panel settings on every reboot

Hi guys,
Ive been running Arch with gnome for a few months now, linux in general for a couple years, and I've come across this issue today.
Upon starting up the computer, gnome panel is completely reset (my applets and icons are all gone, and in its place is the default setup of the panels on a fresh install). So i thought this was odd, reconfigured it to how i like it, and on next restart, its back to default again.
If there is any log files or conf's that may be helpful to you smart folks, please let me know ill supply them.
Thanks!

Thanks for taking a stab,
I checked the permissions and i own everything in ~/.gconf
Today as i booted up, the panels didnt go their defaults, but actually disappeared!. the bottom panel is gone, and the top panel is shrunk to just the gnome menu. When i right click and go to the properties, it does say "these properties are locked down"... however my user name is the owner of conf files.
How is it possible that I'm getting random settings for the panels on every reboot?

WSAECONNRESET Connection reset by peer every 10 min

We are getting an error WSAECONNRESET Connection reset by peer every 10 min. We are running SAP on windows Small Business Server.
If I log in on server or within LAN it is working file without any problem. When we use WAN or outside network and connect SAP using SAP router it is giving an error of Connection reset by peer every 10 min.
I have reviewed OSS 155147 - WinNT: Connection reset by peer, 107407 - Win95: Connection Reset by Peer and 500235 - Network Diagnosis with NIPING without any success. I have played with registry parameters as per OSS 413330.
Could any one explain how to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance...

> But the consistency is It reset exactly every 10 min.
Maybe you connection (whatever technical kind it is) resets connections all 10 minutes, maybe a firewall tears down the connection after that time... without knowing anything about the infrastructure I can just guess.
If the system is running internally fine without any interruptions then it's not a problem of the SAP system.

Synaptics Touchpad Tap Scroll settings changed back to defaults on every reboot. Windows 10

After the Windows 10 upgrade my Synaptics Touchpad setings seem to be reset to factory defaults on every reboot. I go in and change to deselect Tap and Scroll gesture options, save, and everything works as expected. If I reboot my pc... all of my changes are erased. I go to Start >Settings > Mouse and Touchpad > Additional Mouse Options > Device Settings > Settings Right after boot: MultiFinger Gestures (selected) Scrolling (deselected) Tapping (selected) Buttons (selected) After change manually and saved:
MultiFinger Gestures (deselected) Scrolling (deselected) Tapping (deselected) Buttons (selected) Rebooted again... and back to initial defaults (Arg!!!) Can anyone suggest a fix?

Hello! I just wanted to share a solution to this issue. I've been having this issue ever since I started the Windows 10 insider program so it's sad that Microsoft didn't fix it before release. Anyway let's get started! The first thing you will want to do is uninstall the Synaptics Driver. Right click on the start button and click programs and features. Find the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver and uninstall it. You will eventually need to restart your PC but do not do that yet otherwise it will just reinstall itself. Next your going to want to Hide the update from Windows Update. To do this on Windows 10 you need to download a tool which can be found here. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930 Run the tool it will begin detecting problems and searching for updates. You will get two options, Hide Updates or Show hidden updates. Click on Hide updates and on the list you will see the Synaptics Driver, place a checkmark on it and then click next. Let the wizard finish and you've successfully hidden the Synaptics pointing device driver. Next open settings and click on Update & security, click recovery on your left, and then click restart now under advanced startup. Next click on troubleshoot. Then at the choose an option screen, click advanced options, click on startup settings, and click restart. Once your computer restarts you'll see startup settings. Press the number 7 to disable driver signature enforcement. Your computer will now boot up. Login and open your web browser and go to this link http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php Download the latest synaptic's driver for Windows 8 and install it. Once installed, you maybe prompted to reboot so go ahead and reboot the computer. After that, go into your mouse settings and configure your touchpad to your liking. You will not have to worry about losing your settings after restarting the pc anymore. I suggest keeping the tool that allows you to hide or show hidden updates as it is quite handy.
Summary:
1.) Uninstall the Synaptics Driver
2.) Hide the Driver Update for Synaptics using this tool: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3073930
3.) Go to Settings, Update & security, recovery, advanced start [restart now]
4.) Click troubleshoot, advanced options, startup settings [restart now]
5.) Press the number 7 to disable driver signature enforcement
6.) Download the latest synaptic's driver for Windows 8 from the website. http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php
7.) Reboot the computer if necessary.
8.) Configure your mouse settings to your liking.

Is 'SQLCMD.EXE' the SQL Server 2008 executable to be added to a Firewall 'Inbound Rule' to allow remote access?

I would like to add a new Firewall 'Inbound Rule' to allow remote access by
SQL Server 2008.
SQL Server Management Studio shows two TCP/IP instances, both of which are Enabled.
One uses port 1433 and the other uses ‘TCP Dynamic Ports’.
In SQL Server, the server has ‘Allow remote connections to this server’ checked.
My Firewall allows port 1433 for the one TCP/IP instance.
Since the other instance is dynamic, I would like to add a new
Firewall 'Inbound Rule' to allow the SQL Server executable to run.
I’ve read that the SQL Server executable is commonly named SQLSERVR.EXE, but there is no such file on my laptop.
I’m assuming the executable that needs to be added to the Firewall 'Inbound Rule'
is SQLCMD.EXE (in the path C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn).
Can anyone please confirm this? (I'm running Windows 7). Thanks.

Hi Bontrager,
Firstly, please run
Discovery Report to the detect the existing SQL Server 2008 instance. If SQL Server 2008 is installed properly on your machine, the sqlservr.exe should exists in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10.<instance_name>\MSSQL\Binn.
Secondly, if SQL Server 2008 is configured to use dynamic port, it is difficult to configure the firewall to enable access to the correct port number because the port selected might change every time that the Database Engine is started.
Therefore, if a firewall is used, please reconfigure the SQL Server 2008 to use the static TCP port by using SQL Server 2008 Configuration Manager.
For more information, please review this
article. After that, you can add the port number in firewall inbound rule.
Thirdly, if you want to connect to SQL Server 2008 from outside the firewall by instance name, SQL Server Browser should be turned on and you'll have to allow the SQL Server Browser through the firewall, which is UDP port 1434.

After upgrading to Firefox 9.0.1, on first run after every reboot, the following warning apears for every installed Add-on. "Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on"

After upgrading to Firefox 9.0.1, on first run after every reboot, the following warning appears for every installed Add-on.
"Another program on your computer would like to modify Firefox with the following add-on"
So, i have to "Enable" my installed Add-ons on each reboot.
Would you please help me !
P.S.: I found that these files (and some others) will be deleted on each reboot, and it happens on computer start up (not at shut down)!
extensions.ini
extensions.sqlite
extensions.sqlite-journal
And as i mentioned, i have the same anti virus on my laptop and desktop, but i have not any problem on laptop.

Do you have security software that acts like a sandbox or uses virtualization to restore files on a next boot?
See also:

It is possible that there is a problem with the file(s) that store the extensions registry.
Delete the files extensions.* (e.g. extensions.sqlite, extensions.ini, extensions.cache) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox profile folder to reset the extensions registry.

New files will be created when required.

Iphone stuck at apple logo after every reboot?

I came to know d solution of first holding home and sleep button then press + button but why is it happening after every reboot i am doing?help

Hi kstbespoo,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPhone won't get past the Apple Logo even after a reset.
If so, you may need to restore the iPhone with iTunes. Note you should have a good backup.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
5. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more about restoring iOS software.
If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
6. If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

Have to reinstall Flash after every reboot.

Windows 7 - IE9 - Flash version 11.0.1.152 - Plugins and OS up to date - ESET Smart Securty 4
I get prompted to install new version of Flash after a reboot, so it happens at least once a day.
I install Flash and it installs just fine and works until the PC boots up again.
I tried some of the following:
- Use Adobe Flash Uninstall program before installing
- Using standalone install program
- Checked ActiveX Filter and it was off...turning it on causes
   this same behavior, but the problem I have has nothing to do with the filter
Not sure when this started, but the user didn't have this problem until recently.
I am using ESET Smart Security 4. On all our systems, and his PC is the only
one that is having a problem. Need some pretty hard evidence before I bother
with uninstalling ESET just to see if that would help.
The part that is really strange...if I go to manage add-on's while it is working,
I see the Flash player there and Adobe's name there and that it is enabled.
After I reboot and go into the add-on manager, Flash is still there and still
enabled, but it now says "Unknown" instead of "Adobe" and is no longer
listed near the other Adobe programs. But then, when I reinstall it, that gets
"fixed" and now says Adobe again. So it almost seems like an IE9 problem
and possibly a corruption problem. No known problems with the PC. I suppose
that reloading the PC from scratch would fix the problem...at least I hope it would,
but I'm also not ready to do major surgery if there is an easier fix.

I also downloaded that Nirsoft tool, and on my (64-bit) system I also only see the ocx and exe registered. But everything works well on my system. So I currently have no other ideas. Hopefully someone from the Adobe team will have a look at this topic.

My wifi wasn't working for more than 10 minutes at a time after updating to IOS8 and resetting network settings. I turned off google drive, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings and rebooted my iPad4. So far so good.

I have an ipad4. Wifi keeps cutting out after the upgrade even after I forget the network and resign on or reset all network settings. I deleted iCloud drive from my iPad, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings, and rebooted my iPad. Since I upgraded to IOS8 this is the longest wifi has consistently been working for me. Which is approximately an hour now. Anyone else find that this worked or have figured out if this or anything out there is a permanent fix?

Hi CollinGCC78,
It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are still having issues, you may want to double-check the steps outlined in the following article, in order if possible (apologies for replicating any steps you have already taken):
