Have I been invaded?

Was checking on my MBP's Security> Firewall settings which I had set to "Set access for specific services and applications". Noticed that Safari and System Preferences have been added. I don't remember adding them. So I checked the log and found maybe 3 pages of entries just for today and yesterday with the first entry saying "logfile turned over due to size>100K".
Why would Safari and System Prefs be allowing incoming connections?
Also, that seemed like a lot of entries for just two days. Then I noticed that the entires are from only two sources. Both report that someone or something is listening, with a slight variation in the wording.
I hope I'm not providing secure info here but here are examples of the entries from each of the listeners:
Nov 13 22:09:25 Eds-MacBook-Pro Firewall[48]: cupsd is listening from fe80::1:631 uid = 0 proto=6
Nov 13 22:09:27 Eds-MacBook-Pro Firewall[48]: krb5kdc is listening from :::88 uid = 0 proto=6
Nov 13 22:09:27 Eds-MacBook-Pro Firewall[48]: krb5kdc is listening from 0.0.0.0:88 uid = 0 proto=6
The "cupsd" entires are all the same and except for the variations shown above so are the "krb5kdc".
So, am I in trouble? Who are these listeners and what are they listening for?
I have now blocked Safari and System Prefs from receiving incoming connections.
Thanks,
Ed

I wouldn't worry about either, and I'd unblock them too or you may find things start to not work.
cupsd is part of the printing system (are you attaching to a network printer at all?)
krb5kdc...

I have just been invaded by csomething called CONDUIT which I do not want. How can I get rid of it? It is sneaky in hiding any uninstall option.

there is a whole bar above my tabs bar with a plus sign at the extreme right. when I click this it opens this CONDUIT thing and all kinds of other access to apps, which again I do not want.
I use windows XP on a dell laptop.

You copy them from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The iphone is not a backup/storage device.

You need to get the owner's manual for your Ford's bluetooth system to see how to put your system into discovery mode for the iPhone as well as the appropriate steps to take.
In addition, you should see if the iPhone is supported.

How do I find all the purchased items on my iPhone? When I try to update the iPhone iOS while connected to my MacBook it says there are purchased items on the phone that have not been transferred to my iTunes library and that I should transfer them.

Thanks. This seems to have worked easily.

i cannot sync my iphone music, i had used my i phone on another pc, which died. Ive managed to save the hard drive and transfer stuff across. I ended up smashing my phone and could update all other stuff on restore but cant sync any music. It is all grey at the top of the screen. Ive re installed itunes and cleared all phone data. Now when i bought a song on this computer from the apple store, i have just been sent an email that says Your Apple ID, was just used to purchase (a song ) by a computer that had not been previously associated with that apple id. So do i have to tell apple now somehow i am using itunes on this pc, and if so how? Because i authorised it and it said this pc was one of 5 aujthorised. if anyone can be of assistance then great!

I'm having a similar problem. I had previously (over a year ago) purchased 2 episodes of Law & Order. Then about 2 months ago, I purchased the 3rd season of Sons of Anarchy. When I downloaded these episodes to my iPad, about a dozen full seasons of various shows popped up, too. No money was removed from my iTunes account & theses particular shows aren't in my iTunes library on my desktop. I've tried every which way to delete them from my ipad, but can't. I went to the Apple store & they suggested I contact expresslane.apple.com for help. I submitted my problem, via email Friday, as they asked, but have not received any response. Any suggestions on how to get rid of these "phantoms?".

I have bought itunes songs on an ipad with my daughter apple id. i would like to back them up on the same computer I sync my iphone with using my apple id but they will not transfer. Both iphone and ipad have only been synced on the computer mentioned since they were purchased. Is there any way to get the ipad music transferred to the computer?

And they were definitely purchased from the iTunes store, they show on the account's purchase history (Store > View Account on a computer's iTunes, or you can view the last 90 days purchases via http://reportaproblem.apple.com) ?
You could potentially log into the account on that computer's iTunes (Store > Sign Out to log out of your account, that will then change to a Store > Sign In option) and redownload them by clicking on the id towards the top right of the iTunes screen and Purchased on the popup :
But that will potentially tie that computer to that account for 90 days : Manage your associated devices in iTunes - Apple Support
Or do you have a different computer that you could redownload them on and then copy them over to that computer via a flash drive or memory card, and then add them to its iTunes via File > Add To Library ?

We need a bit more information to help.
Are you trying to update your iPhone using iTunes on your computer? If so, did you make purchases through the iTunes Store or App Store on your iPhone, and fail to sync them with your computer? That is the likely meaning of what you are seeing. If this is true, the purchases would be added to iTunes in your computer before the upgrade proceeds.

I have not been able to use iTunes for several months. Every time I open iTunes, it freezes by computer such that there is about a minutes between each action. I am running iTunes 11 on Mac OS 10.6.8 and have a computer with maxed out memory.

When I try to login it doesn't recognise my birthdate - I forget passwords, but not my birthday! And it used to work just fine. Have I been hijacked??

When I try to access my password (which I'm sure is correct - I wrote it down naughty gran!) it doesnt recognise my birthday! So I tried via 'send me an email' twice and I don't get one (I tried twice). Have I been hijacked?? (BTW I accessed the forum via another account, but I'm annoyed cos I cant access photostream and anxious cos the other one is linked to my credit card)

Start with the most basic thing that you can try. Unplug the router from power for about 30 seconds, and restart the printer and the iPad and plug the router back into power.

Hi! I purchased my ATV in Miami, but I live in Argentina. I have not been able to get the device running on any TVs. When I plug it in, it briefly shows the apple logo, then a sign saying no signal, check power cords and power source or sthg like that.

Hi!
I purchased my AppleTV in Miami, but I live in Argentina.
I have not been able to get my device running correctly, and altough I've read tons of things online, I still have no solution to my problem.
Here's the thing: after everything's plugged in and ON, I see the Apple logo briefly, then the TV displays a sign that says no signal, check pwoer cords and power source.
But everything is plugged in and connected properly, otherwise, I doubt I'd be seeing the apple logo, right?
I tried changing the HDMI cable, reversing the ends, switching ports, hard resetting the ATV, and trying a different TV. No luck.
I read there is some issue with Samsung TVs, and most LED and LCD tvs down here are Samsung.
On the other hand, I cannot return it or exchange it, since I bought it in the states.
Oh! One of the tvs I tried it on displays a little sign that reads "connected at 1280x720 @60hz", and only THEN, goes to the "no signal" sign.
Please!!! I am being driven up the walls here.... HELP!!

Try this:
Change the Apple TV resolution:
Press and hold the Menu and Up button on your Apple Remote for six seconds.
The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals.
Press Play on the Apple Remote to keep the current resolution or Select to manually cycle to the next resolution.

I have an old iPhone 3Gs with software version 4.3.5, I am trying to use it again, and it works fine, but I have not been able to update the software. Every time I try, I get the following message:
"there was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone, the network connection could not be established". This happens even though I have a working internet connection.
Besides that, all the other functions work properly, even synchronize apps and library.
Will I be able to update the software?

look around the forum tons of people repport that they can't update
makes you suspect that apples update servers can't meet the depand of too many users

HT1364 All the cd's I have bought over the years, have all been uploaded into iTunes on a Windows PC. I have just bought an iMac and want to transfer my library across. What is the best way?

All the cd's I have bought over the years, have all been uploaded into iTunes on my Windows PC. I have tried just copying my iTunes folder across to my new iMac, but it doesn't recognise all of the music (but it does recognise some?). Can someone please tell me the best way to transfer my iTunes library from my PC to my iMac?
Thanks, Caroline

Copy the entire /My Music/iTunes/ folder from your PC to /Music/ on your Mac.

Have I been invaded?
