How do I set my firewall settings in Avasti to allow communications between my HP 8600 and my comput

How do I set my firewall settings in Avasti to allow communications between my HP 8600 and my computer

Something to Consider:
If you are talking about "Avast!" Security Software, either the free or the paid version, the following may apply to you:
There are three main levels of Security in the Avast! software: Home, Work, and Public
Home is the setting many people use when "at home", that is, connected to the home network. The home network is sometimes defined as the "192.168" network: these are the computers and printers that you have and use in your home environment. The network is (most usually) private and (should be) secured with with a passphrase at your router. The Avast! Software sees the "Home" network as a "safe" environment: devices connected within the "Home" network are allowed to "talk" (communicate) with one another without undue restrictions.
Work is the next setting. The software places some restrictions on this level of communication. Home users can certainly use this setting -- in many (most) cases, the "Work" setting is a solution that provides for communication and a bit more security for the home network and its devices.
Public is the strictest setting and is meant to keep your computer safe in a public place: the library, coffee shop, on a street corner. Outside "prying eyes" are prevented from peeping and outside communications are restricted.
If you have set (or left) your Avast! software set to Public, or even Work (and you do not know how to handle the restrictions), then you may have simply locked out the communication between the printer and the computer(s) on your home network.
Open your Avast! Software and set the security level to either "Home" or "Work".
You can find out more about how to use the software settings at the Avast! website.
Advanced Users Only - You will know if you changed the Rules... this is not something one does by accident.
If you have changed the rules within the settings, you may have locked yourself out. Make sure you have both "in" and "out" traffic settings adjusted correctly for each rule you change / adapt / add.

How can I edit the privacy settings for my daughters Apple ID.

My daughter has forgotten her privacy settings. She has $80 in credit and would like to use them. How can she edit her privacy settings?

What do you mean by 'privacy settings' ?
If you mean the Settings > General > Restrictions passcode on her iPad then was it on the iPad when she last backed up ? If not then she can restore to that backup and it should be removed. If it was on the iPad when she last backed up then the only way to remove it is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults and she can then re-sync your content back to her iPad - she won't be able to restore to the backup as that will keep the code in place.
If you mean the answers to her security questions, then if she has a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on her account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on her account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If she doesn't have a rescue email address (she won't be able to add one until she can answer her questions) then sher will need to contact Support in her country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if she doesn't already have a rescue email address) sher can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620

How do I edit the default settings to always embed fonts?

How do I edit the default settings in Acrobat Pro XI to always embed fonts?

Do not use the Std job settings, but use the Press or Print settings. You can also edit the properties of the Job Settings (best done in Distiller) to not exclude any fonts and embed all as subset fonts. Be sure to check the option to continue if embedding is not possible or your creation will fail if you used a font that is not licensed for embedding (Acrobat will only embed fonts that are legally licensed for embedding -- most are, but not all).
If you edit the Std, you will need to save to a new name. You might use MyStd or such. Then go to the Start>Printers and edit the properties of the Adobe PDF printer to make that settings file the default. If you use PDF Maker, you will have to change the PDF Maker preferences also (PDF Maker seems to use the last selection, not the default in the printer). Hopefully that is clear enough.

How do I change my firewall settings?

I have an account with Active Link, and every time I try to connect, I cannot and I get a message saying: "Please adjust your firewall settings to allow ALconnect to access the Internet. If you aren't sure how to do this, please contact the support team for your firewall software for help."
So that is what I am doing. My cell phone number is XXX if it is easier to contact me by phone.
<sub>edit: removed personal information. we do not provide support via phone, please keep all communications on the public forum. (philipp)</sub>

This is an Active Link issue, not a Firefox issue.

How do I change my firewall settings to allow Spotify?

I get a message pop up that says.... A firewall may be blocking Spotify. Please update your firewall to allow Spotify (error 101)
Please help I am so terrible with anything other then the basics.
I found my firewall settings but I could only figure out how to turn them on and off. This did not help.
I need it explained to me in the most simpilist of ways.
Thank you

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Triple-click the line of text below on this page to select it:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. You can then close the TextEdit window. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that. No typing is involved in this step.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
{ sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix\.cron)|org\.(amav|apac|cups|isc|ntp|postf|x)/{print $3}'; echo; sudo defaults read com.apple.loginwindow LoginHook; echo; sudo crontab -l; } 2> /dev/null | open -ef
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
{ launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'; echo; crontab -l 2> /dev/null; } | open -ef
Step 4
ls -A /e*/{cr,la,mach}* {,/}Lib*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts .la* 2> /dev/null | open -ef
Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of login items' | open -ef
Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

HT5022 How do i access the firewall settings of my airport extreme?

i cant find it when i hit edit airport extreme? I really need help

The NAT firewall is either "on" or "off".
Open AirPort Utility, click the AirPort icon, then click Edit
Click the Network tab at the top of the screen
Look at the setting for Router Mode
If Router Mode is set to DHCP and NAT, then the NAT firewall is automatically enabled.
If Router Mode is set to Off (Bridge Mode), then the NAT firewall is not enabled.

How can I edit the default settings for the Email button?

I saw this question posted for February and as yet still unanswered. So I am now asking it again.
I do not want to use my .mac account email address in my website. I want it linked to my domain. I have found no specific instructions for changing the default. Also my drag down "Link to" menu in the Inspector does not work.
Thanks........

While you can't edit the default email address in iWeb, there is a workaround which may suit.
In Safari, locate a web page which has iWeb's email button on it (if you've already published a site, one of your own web pages is ideal). Control-click on the button and select 'Add Image to iPhoto Library'. Drag this image from the Media Browser to your iWeb page, select the image, and use the Link inspector to enable it as a hyperlink linking to 'An Email Message'. Enter whatever email address you like in the To box and a Subject for the message if you wish.
To make things easier, create an iWeb library in iPhoto and add the email button to it for handy access.

Ilustrator CS6 - How do I edit the output settings?

Hi, its really annoying that I cant change the output settings when I save for web something. I just want to tell Illustrator that I dont want to create a new images folder everytime I save something, and I dont want to add a _N at the end of the file name...
Is there a way to change this?, I couldnt find it.
Thanks.

This feature has been removed from CS6:
As quoted from this Adobe employee blog post on the new CS6 Save for Web feature:
The Output Settings dialog box, used to control HTML file formatting, slice naming, and background image handling, has been removed.
I haven't had any luck figuring out a work-around, but I'll keep poking around.

How to change the firewall settings to provide remorte access to oracle 10g

dear all
I have created the oracle 10g database and it is working properly...but I cant loging with thedata base remotely when the host's firewall is on..when it is off I can connect with the database remotely..how can I change the firewall settings in this case

You need to configure your firewall to allow traffic on the ports listed in ORACLE_HOME\install\portlist.ini.
You do not need to allow all of the ports, just the ports you want to allow traffic. For example if you are not using iSQL Plus you do not have to open port 5560 or the range 5560–5579.
You can find a description of the ports at the following link.

How do I remove "Allow all connections" for Pando in my firewall settings?

In System Information under Firewall Settings - Applications, I see the following: com.pando.pando: Allow all connections. However, when I go to System Preferences and look at the firewall options, this is not listed, nor can I find any trace of Pando anywhere else on my computer. Is this hidden somewhere, and how can I get rid of it?

pirihi,
open Safari’s Preferences, and select its Privacy tab. For the “Block cookies and other website data” set of radio buttons, select “Never”.

How do I edit my alias and name in the new "My Settings" ?

How do I edit my alias (and/or name) in the new "My Settings" panel ? The alias and name are not editable. When using myinfo.apple.com, there is no "alias" field. This seems to be only a feature in Discussions but is no more editable. Please help !

I think that the idea is good, although nothing prevents that a "bad" user can create a new account on each login.
The È is not the only problem. In Spain we use two last name, and in spanish translation of "my info", middle name is translated as first lasts name and english last name as second last name, so my alias is completely wrong (name + second last name).
I think that nothing could happen if "good" users could change the alias once. I tried day after the warning, and I couldn't.

Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie. Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me. I tried turning off all my firewall

Hello MacHeads: I downloaded Handbrake 0.9.1 for Tiger, so I can upload a homemade DVD for editing in imovie. Problem is I can't even access Handbrake Help book, because I think my firewall settings are preventing me. I tried turning off all my firewall settings.? IDK if I'm even doing that right. Can anyone help out here?

You don't need Handbrake for that if it is your own DVD.
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle.
a DVD is in a compresed format called mpeg2, which is standard across all DVDs. This is what is known as a 'final delivery format' and is not suitable for editing. Because is is compressed, a 4.7GB DVD can hold a two hour movie (dual layer DVDs twice that), whereas the DV stream from a video camera, which runs at about 13GB per hour, is not compressed and IS intended for editing.
In other words you have to 'reverse engineer' the DVD back to an uncompressed format in ordfer to edit it. There is a penalty for doing this in terms of slight quality loss, but it is one you can live with.
When you have your DVD as an icon on your desktop, double-click it, and it will open to reveal a TS-Folder containing a number of various files, some called VOB. These are the constituent parts of any video DVD.
When you have downloaded and installed mpegStreamclip, and purchased and installed the Apple mpeg2 plugin, open mpegStreamclip and drag the entire TS Folder into its window. Then using the various menus available to you (just explore them and you will get the hang of it) ask it to convert to DV.
That DV file, which will be many times larger than the original TS Folder, and which can a while to create (be patient - make coffee or prune the roses!) is what you can now import into iMovie for editing etc.
When you have finished doing that, you then have to turn the project back into a DVD.
mpegStreamclip can be downloaded from here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
