FREEZES WHEN FLASH ASKS FOR ALLOW OR DENY
INTEL mac freezes when flash player ask for allow or deny on all browsers, safarrie, chrome , and foxfire? Hellp!
Firefox uses a loop back connection to communicate with the Software Security Device (passwords and secure connections).
Some firewalls interpret that as Firefox being as server.

Firewall repeatedly asking to allow or deny?
Hi
My firewall is set on app-specific permissions.
I've been getting a dialog asking to allow or deny "incoming connections" for a certain app. Every time I click "Deny" and next time I launch the app I get the dialog again. There's no "always deny" option that I can find.
My questions:
1. how do I deny it once and for all?
2. what about "outgoing connections"? are they blocked too if I choose "deny"?
Thanks!I don't consider myself to be a firewall expert, but the System Preferences/Security/Firewall option of "Allow all incoming connections" seems to fit the bill. I do work with a lot of PC's and I've become familiar with many of the firewall programs available for them. PC's really need this badly:)
Leopard doesn't provide you with the ability to block outgoing connections any better than WindowsXP does. In the event that a user actually gets a Trojan Horse or other Spyware, these "incoming only" firewalls are completely useless.
We don't have to worry too much about Malwares yet with Leopard, but if we did, the Leopard firewall would automatically allow an outgoing connection as it would appear to be initiated by the user. - This becomes a worthless "feel good" security, especially when you are at your own home with a hardware firewall available in every NAT router that is already blocking so many ports that you have to punch holes with port forwarding to get many programs to work. Almost all of these routers make a provision for a "Stealth" mode where the router will not answer a ping or respond on the ID port scan. They also have a method of creating a "DMZ" wide open - forward every unsolicited incoming connection - to a specific IP number on the LAN so that you can run a server (I'm running Leopard server using DHCP with Manual Address to match the DMZ IP number) without having to forward all the ports for iChat, iCal, FTP, email, web server or any other service you want to run.
In the coffee house scenario, you wouldn't have the hardware firewall to protect you, but you also will not be able to block outgoing connections either. Still worthless.
If the Leopard firewall is told to just go away, you can use a real firewall program for much finer, enduring control. Little Snitch, and other programs will pop up with a warning, and offer to deny, allow once, or allow always every outgoing connection. The firewall comes with many presets that take into account normal activity like email, web surfing programs and some system initiated connections, but questions just about every other type of connection.
Sorry for the length of this reply, but the comparisons to the worthless WinXP firewall just took over:) -
Hi,
Having problems getting the Time Machine/Base Station set up at Home. When it asks for account info is it asking for the Internet provider account?
It's a stupid question I realize but the thing is remaining invisible to my computer after the set up doesn't work. I tried a factory reset which allowed me to reinput info but now it won't factory reset and it doesn't show up so I can't edit account info.
Any thoughts? Do I need to connet the computer and the Time Machine with a cable? I've been thinking it would work wireless but maybe that's where I'm off.
Thanks,You should be able to setup over wireless. But IMHO only cables offer connections that are real.. that can be used without having to worry about being disconnected by the setup procedure itself.
Do the setup in full network isolation.. a computer with wireless off.. plugged by ethernet into a LAN port of the TC.. do another factory reset.
Make sure when the TC comes up again that the computer gets an ip 10.0.1.2 and then open the airport utility and do the setup of the TC..
The setup sometimes fails because it expects an adsl modem for instance to bridge and wants to use pppoe..this is not always possible.. it is necessary to run the TC in bridge mode if the existing modem is also a router.
Just select bridge.
And then setup the wireless via the wireless tab and create a wireless network.
Otherwise if you have a pure modem like cable.. you can put the TC in DHCP + NAT mode.
But it is unlikely the auto setup would fail in that case. -
I have upgraded to iTunesDropper and now the request for a password to allow iTunesDropper to make changes will not work. How can I resolve this?
There was a typo in the original question which should have read "I have upgraded to Yosemite and now when iTunesDropper asks for permission to make changes the password is accepted but the window does not goes away and the permission does not appear to be granted". How can I resolve this?

when i ask for Authorizeed computer i got the message " make sure your computer' date is set correctly and that it accepts cookies from the itunes stores " how can i solve this problem please .
Ok, so I just worked out that itunes communicates through your browser so it's a cookie in the browser not PC direct that fixes this. Bit of a convoluted route but for me it was IE>Internet setting>privacy>sites, then allow all activity from apple.com/itunes.

ITunes 9 asking to Allow or Deny every time at launch?
Why is iTunes 9 asking to allow or deny incoming connections every time I launch iTunes? Is there a simple way to correct this or a known bug. I have enabled that Home Sharing feature so I think it is that probably.
Hi everyone. I did not have the same problem when I just upgraded to 10.6.1. But I started to have it when I added new iTunes genres artworks. So may be it's something related to changing the original content of the iTunes resources folder like permissions, etc. Did someone make the same change?.

I have a mac OSX desktop version 10.6.8 and all of a sudden I can't get a full screen view in Safari when I ask for help the response is use the arrows on the top right of the screen ... I don't have them ... can anyone help?
Hi Mary,
I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved all the way to the left. Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.

My MacBook Pro shows the logo in a white screen when I ask for a Software Update under the apple. Actually it stays blank on Featured, Top Charts, Categories and Purchases as well. What up? Thanks.
I am having exactly the same problem right now. After some research, it looked like my HD was toast. I replaced it today, that part was easy, but now I cannot seem to use my original Install Disk to format the new HD. I get a grey restart screen, or if I get to the Language Selection screen, my cursor is frozen in left corner and I can't use it.
Very frustrating, hope someone else has some ideas!
PS My MacBook was about same age, and "expired" in exactly the same way as yours. -
When they ask for the gateway numbers on the TV, what number is that or what should I be looking for? I am trying to connect my wifi network on my Samsung smart TV.
The "Gateway" address would be the Private (LAN-side) IP address of your Internet router. If you are using an AirPort base station for that router, the default gateway IP address would be: 10.0.1.1

My daughter was updating her iphone to the iOS6 and everything went great. So, she was going to update mine. She used her itunes acct. instead of mine and it downloaded all her music and apps onto my iphone. Now when it asks for me to enter my password, it has her email address. How can I fix this???
plug your iphone into your computer with your itunes account signed in to update it, (if you want your own apps ect.) if all you want to do is change accounts signed in on the iphone than simply open settings and scroll down until you see itunes and app stores touch the apple id tip top and signout, sign yourself in. any apps she has "purschased" that you have not.. i imagine will just cease to work.
if you both share the same contacts, it won't be a big deal, however if you have work and her shcools numbers ect, and she just has mom/dad/buddies you may have double numbers and apps and what not by doing this, so if it does become a mess.. just get on itunes log into your account by clicking the store menu in itunes and going down to the account id on the bottom of that menu and just restore your phone. -
I own 5. And I own 6. But when I try to open 6 am being prompted for my subscription info.Otherwise am locked out. When I ask for support I get referred to a forum. Remember, two licenses. Oh and since I started the project in 5, It's repeatedly failed to manually save, the audio just disappears, it loses the program monitor, fails to save renders, timecode window burn doesn't work, and that's just for starters.
Thanks Adobe.
