Firewall stops ichat from working

I have 2 macs, MacBook and MacBook Pro, both are running leopard.
With the firewall set to "Set access for specific services and applications", for either mac, ichat becomes unreliable.
While chatting via bonjour it frequently drops the connection. It does this by telling one party the other has logged out and telling the other party there has been a connection error. Which party receives which response seems to be random.
Video chat and screen sharing don't work at all, sometimes the request is receive but after accepting says there has been a communication error, other times the request is simply never received by the other party.
Both macs have ichat and ichatagent set to "Allow incoming connections" in the firewall pane.
Anyone have similar problems?
With the firewall set to "Allow all incoming connections" on both macs everything works fine, but I'd rather not have to do that.

The new firewall is built new from the ground up. I'm still deciding whether this was a good idea, but by and large it simply doesn't work the same way as any of the previous firewalls that were based on the bulletproof IPFW. If you're having issues with the new firewall and want to revert to the older Tiger firewall, it's easy, download the free WaterRoof (http://www.hanynet.com/waterroof/) It's a frontend for IPFW, which is still installed on Leopard. Turn off the new leopard firewall, and use waterroof to set up IPFW the way you want it - instead of working on an application basis (which seems to be unpredictable) IPFW works on the usual port basis, which seems to be much more predictable.

Start with the third box in Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
If that doesn't work, use the steps in the second box to repair your iTunes installation. Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Freeze accounts periods stops MRP from working?

Hi
We have been doing some work in Accounts and froze the accounting periods January - September, but it appears this action stopped MRP from working.
Is this behaviour correct by design, or is it possible there is an as yet undefined issue?
Thanks

Hi,
Did you received error message like Period is locked for new data [Message 131-107]?
If yes, then the system behavior is correct.

This content requires hdcp for playback. so I paid $100 for it and now they stop it from working?

I have an atv 2, my tv uses componet, I have used it to rent and watch movies on it for a year at least but now it says this content requires hdcp for playback. so I paid $100 for it and now they stop it from working?
I also have the first atv, I get the same message

lol, I had to go look at the back of that, I've been using it so long with componet. I started getting the hdcp message a few months ago on it. been using it for years with componet now I cant. what I meNt on the AT2 is that when I bought it, I was able to use it, rent moves, etc. since I got it using an adaptor because of my tv. It just recently was rendered incapable along with the componet output on the AT1.
My tv is a 65" Hitachi rear projection, with no hdmi. It's old, but still has a great picture

@Merel, I find it amusing that people have hundreds of blocked senders. I have been using internet mail since late 1980s. I have been actively using some of my mail accounts since before the Millennium. I have no blocked senders.
I used to have blocked senders in MSN messenger and Yahoo messenger as it was the only SPAM control option available, but I have Zero blocked senders in my mail client. I certainly get loads of spam in my Yahoo account, it is something Yahoo appear to be incapable of managing. I get very very little in my other mail accounts, so other providers can mange it.
Thunderbird does an excellent job of managing my spam with only a few each day making it to my inbox.
You appear to think transferring this list from client to client is important. I would really like you to tell me why! Then I would love an explanation why you think syncing of such list has merit.
Most people with lots of blocked senders appear to think a blocklist is a SPAM management tool. It is not.
Either they are using blocked senders for SPAM control, something that is simply not appropriate as it is a slow process. To place each mail in a list and check it against 500 email addresses you don't like simply bogs down the receipt of mail.
Or they are and a particularly unlikable person that just

How do I stop iChat from launching on its own?

This is weird. I have three computers connected over a home network and connected to the net by a DSL modem.
iChat (4.0.2) is installed on all three.
Last night, it was turned off on all three.
This morning I wake to find that iChat has launched on my laptop, is chirping away and showing that window saying AOL has me logged in on two systems at once.
What gives?
Bob

Hi,
Check the System Preferences > Accounts > Your Account > Login Items.
This will list the apps that start up when the Mac does.
If you mean that waking the Mac from sleep shows an attempt to receive an IM when Off line then it is possible. In certain circumstances iChat does seem to do this.
In the General Section of iChat> Preferences makes sure it is set to Log out when iChat is Quit. This setting otherwise only partially logs you out and can be responsible for the Double/two place Login message.
Also check whether each computer if using the same AIM screen name has it set to Allow Multiple Logins. (this is one way to stop the message).
If you want to use the Message you get to log another computer out of AIM then type "1" as a response to it (or 2). Typing "1" will log the first computer that was logged in (or not fully logged out) off line. Typing "2" is likely to log the machine you are using Off Line (for iChat/AIM). It can be useful to check which is which.
The same message will appear if there are two apps on the same computer that are logged in (or not fully logged out) with AIM.
If you are getting Off Line messages then you should also get a AIMSysMessage item saying if you want to continue with this and you should have an option to Stop it. (I am not sure there is a way in iChat to restart it)

How do i stop iChat from showing that i'm idle?

I don't want iChat to show others that i'm "Idle for 10 mins, 17 mins, 1hr10 mins" etc - I just want it to keep showing Available when I'm not actually working on the computer. - I don't particularly like others to see that I'm idle anyway, so how can i make this auto-idle function stop?

Hi,
Also in the General Section of the Preferences tick the box that reads:-
"When iChat is Quit, Set my Status to Off Line."
If this is not set then iChat will leave sort of Partial Login so that you can get Off Line IMs (which will start iChat up if the computer is On)
If you have iChat allowing Off-Line IMs these will still be saved at the Server until you Log in again.
Off Line IMs can be stopped if you reply to the AIMSysMessage Buddy text with a "no"
They can only be reinstated by changing the setting here https://settings.aim.com/
You need to Login first and this can be also done with an @mac.com or @me.com name

Upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 for iPad stopped cable from working

Hey guys, not too long ago I finally decided to upgrade to ios 6.1.3., because a lot of the apps I wanted needed it. After updating it, my cable to connect to the tv (30 pin male to hdmi female cord from Apple store) stopped working, displaying the message 'This accessory is not support by the iPad'. And the T.V. screen remains black. Has anyone else experienced this and/or solved this issue? Can it be solved at all? Because it's a real **** off, especially since I didn't want to upgrade to ios 6 in the first place. My iPad literally just lost half of its usefulness.

That's not possible on a device other than an iPhone 3GS.

/*   */ is a remark? Why deleting it stops query from working?

Dear All,
I recently got the SQL below from one expert and it worked perfecly.
I am now wondering why he sent me this line in green?
/*Select 1 from jdt1 t where t.duedate*/
When I removed this line so that the code at the beginning now reads:
            Declare @d datetime
            set @d = [%1]
the query stops working. Error Msg "Must specify table to select from'.
What is happening here?
I thought   /*   */   means remarks, which can be deleted without effect.
It now seems they are an essential part of the query.
Could you explain the meaning of the command, so that I can use it when building other queries?
- What does 'Select 1' mean and what is its effect?
- Why do we have to put this command to make query work?
- Why do you put it between /*   */?
Thanks
Leon Lai

HI Leonlai
Sorry for my english...I try explain you how work it
This variables
'[%0]' - '[%1]' Etc...
Are from SAP. If you insert this variables in SQL management studio (for example) doesn't work
You must declare variables allowed in SQL, using the @, after insert variables of SAP into variables to SQL.
DECLARE @DATES INT, @BEGIN DATETIME, @END DATETIME
SET @DATES = (SELECT TOP 1 A.DocEntry FROM dbo.OINV A WHERE A.DocDate >= '[%0]' AND A.DocDate <= '[%1]') /*This variable is used for called SAP varibles*/
SET @BEGIN = '[%0]' /*Here Insert SAP variables into SQL variables*/
SET @END = '[%1]'
NOW WRITE your query.
Sometimes when uses variables of SAP into UDF, doesn't work. This is a method for replace it.

Mac: Graphic Update of Snow Leopard (08/19/10) stopped LR3 from working

I wonder if I'm the only one who has a problem with the latest Apple Update named "Graphic Update 1.0 for Snow Leopard" from last night. After I installed the update on my iMac 27" with quad core i5, 8Gb RAM I accidently used LR 3 RC 3.2 when I recognized that the brushes and all other editing tools where really slow. Even after clicking the brush it took sometimes up to 15 sec. until the tool got selected. Using the brush was slow and without any effect on working either.
I recognized that I was usign the RC 3.2 release which I stopped working with as I have had several issues on that release before with long loading times of photos to edit. So I switched back to the normal release 3.0 which was working OK for me before. But now I have the same issues on the official 3.0 release. Even 3.0 is now very, very stringy and tools aren't working, too. Using the loupe, which shows the magnification immediatly takes now 15 sec. to show the magnification and some more sec. until it is sharp. Switching to next photo takes around 25 sec. which was done in around 3 sec. before.
Now idea what happend, but I think I have to reinstall the OS and get the latest data from my TM.

thanks exploded view, you're right, I should try it before. It was so obvious that only the update could have been the matter....
If so normally I expected more people having that problem.
Bert,
Was this specific to the iMac? I just checked for updates on my Macbook Pro and nothing came up about a Graphic update. I went through the process of backing off an update (10.6.4 back to 10.6.3). It wasn't exactly pretty, but not impossible. You may have to do some reinstalls afterward if you find you need to choose that route. In my case I reinstalled Snow Leopard from the DVD first, preserving current user settings and then reinstalled 10.6.3 from a download. A few hours effort, but was back in business, so it is doable.

Quicktime will not install on my PC - also stopping iTunes from working

Quicktime and iTunes will not install on my Vista SP 1 PC, Whenever I try to install either I get the following error message;
Quicktime - "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
iTunes - "The installation of Quicktime did not complete successfully. iTunes requires Quicktime."
From my iTunes error message I hope that by correcting the Quicktime error the iTunes should in turn be fixed.
I am using the latest installers for each and I can't understand why this is happening,
I have tried completely removing my old version of Quicktime and tried to copy my other PC's Quicktime folder into this one however that has not worked. I have also tried using the latest installers multiple times however I always get the same error message.
Please help me fix this error where Quicktime can't install,
Thanks

Preloader stops buttons from working?!

... and the buttons have ceased to function.

function update(e:ProgressEvent):void
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (e.bytesLoaded*100)/e.bytesTotal );
if(preloaderMC is MovieClip){
preloaderMC.gotoAndStop(percent);
if(percent == 100){
play();
loaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, update);
// Extra test for IE
var percent:Number = Math.floor( (this.loaderInfo.bytesLoaded*100)/this.loaderInfo.bytesTotal );
if(percent == 100){
nextFrame();
stop();

Please help me sort this out!
Thanks

If you are getting a 1009 error, the file will not work, so the buttons might not be the problem.
The 1009 error indicates that one of the objects being targeted by your code is out of scope. This could mean that the object....
- is not in the display list
- doesn't have an instance name (or the instance name is mispelled)
- does not exist in the frame where that code is trying to talk to it
- is animated into place but is not assigned instance names in every keyframe for it
- is one of two or more consecutive keyframes of the same objects with no name assigned in the preceding frame(s).
If you go into your Publish Settings Flash section and select the option to Permit debugging, your error message should have a line number following the frame number which will help you isolate which object is involved.

Installing iTunes updates stops iTunes from working in Windows 8.1

Last year after installing Windows 8.1 I had problems with iTunes ( couldn't burn to disc and could not uninstall after being advised by Apple Support that uninstalling was the solution), after assistance from the Windows community my problem was solved. I installed iTunes 12.1, I believe it was.
Then in early January 2015 I received an update notification and installed it but again started getting error messages and could not run iTunes, error was -
"ITunes.exe - entry Point not found"
The procedure entry point "ADadPolicyEngine_DidEnterStation" Could not be located in the dynamic link library C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\iTunes\iTunes.dll.
Then the message
ITunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes
Error 7 (Windows error 127)
Part of last years solution was the correct procedure to uninstall iTunes (remove all Apple programs) this I followed again and reinstalled iTunes. It again worked correctly until 30.1.15. I opened iTunes and was told there was a newer version available which I installed which it completed ok but then it checked for any other updates and foolishly I installed it and got the error message -
GNSDK_MANAGER_DLL. is missing from your computer reinstall
After clicking ok I get the further message
ITunes was not installed correctly, reinstall
Error 7 (Windows error 126)
Whilst I know how to uninstall and reinstall it is a bit of a pain to have to go through quite a long procedure to correct this problem. As this seems to be an ongoing problem does anyone know a solution ?
I believe the suggested update is the same (12.1) that I install from the iTunes site, so why does it tell me to update I ask .
It would appear that this problem relates to the update from iTunes and not Windows
Obviously not installing updates is an option but not the answer.
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks.
