How do I keep iTunes from accessing the internet? (It's not MiniStore)

I just did a clean upgrade from iTunes 5.0 to 6.0.2. Now, with 6.0.2, however, as soon as it loads up, it tries to access the internet (224.0.0.251 Port 5353).
I realize this is the multicast address, however, I do NOT want iTunes trying to access the internet unless I tell it to. I have already done the following:
1. The MiniStore is hidden
2. Check for updates is turned off
3. Podcasts are set to check for new episodes Manually
I don't want to have to block it at the firewall, because I don't want to lose the ability to have iTunes connect to the internet - I just don't want it doing it without my knowledge and permission.
So, what else can I do to stop this from happening?

It seems, as if me and my client have kind of the same issue. Any suggestions to this: I sent my client an invitation via my iCal from my iMac (using my yahoo calendar as the exchange server). My client accepted the invitation. Now I have deleted this appointment from my iCal and my yahoo calendar. But my client is not able to delete the appointment in his iPhone 4S. What can my client do?
My client already went to the next apple store. There they told him to plug in his iPhone 4S to my iMac. Then he would be able to delete the appointment. Honestly, this does not make any sense to me. Why does my client have to come to me and plug in his iPhone into my iMac to get a meeting deleted. What if my client lived in a different country?????
My client is really upset about this. Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

How to Stop Firefox 18 From Restoring the Previous Session After a Crash

Firefox 18.0.1 running on Windows 7
When Firefox crashes, the next time it opens it tries to restore the previous session. I do not want Firefox to restore the previous session after a crash. How do I prevent Firefox from restoring the previous session after a crash?
Please note:
1- My home page is set to "blank page"
2- I have configured Firefox to NOT remember my browsing history, download history, form fields and passwords.
3- Even in Safe Mode (i.e., with all add-ons disabled), Firefox STILL restores the previous session after a crash.

hello Bulldogger, please try the following in order to switch off sessionrestore completely: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preferences named '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' and '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo'''. double-click on those entries and change both of their values to '''0'''.

I accidentally blocked Firefox from accessing the internet. I love Firefox please help

A box popped up and said a program was trying to access the internet and I hit block instead of allow and now I can't find the area where I can unblock programs.

You can always do without the other security features and choose to enable WPA encryption....that is the safest as of now.....
Simply set everything back to default and choose WPA PSK......type in an 8 digit WPA key then remember that....when you connect other clients to your network, they would need the same key....

Ican't access the internet in that server, i tried to update the LAN drives but no use, I tired t install Adapter drives no use.
What i have to do now,
Thanks in advance,
Surnedra Mannem.

Hi
Is this server in a domain or stand alone?
Are you plugging the server direct in to the Internet Router or via Switches?
What is the status of the Network Adapter Connected, Disconnected or Limited?
Could you please tell us what is the IP address you are getting on the server?
Try turning off the firewall also what browser are you using to access the internet on the server.
Thanks

Using Windows w/ BootCamp doesnt allow me to access the internet on Windows

I can access the internet when on the Mac side, but I cant access the internet on the Windows side. I called my internet service provider, and they were no help. I am pretty new to Mac computers, so if you can help in lamens terms, that'd be great.

Your question is probably better asked in the Boot Camp forums:

How to stop concurrent programs from appearing in the SRS window ?

Hi All,
We have hundreds of custom concurrent programs registered under a custom application.
Except for 3 hidden programs (which will be submitted internally from another concurrent program), all the others should appear in the SRS window. Therefore, instead of individually registering each program in the request group, we have registered the application itself, in the request group.
However by doing this, the 3 hidden concurrent programs are also appearing in the SRS window. The concurrent program define form doesn’t allow us to uncheck the “show in SRS” checkbox if we have parameters define for a concurrent program.
Is there any way that we can prevent these hidden programs from appearing in the SRS window, in our case?

Hi,
Create a new request group and add all but the 3 programs, using a PL/SQL script calling fnd_program.add_to_group.
Regards,
Gareth

Unable to access the internet on windows xp using bootcamp. I installed the bootcamp drivers ( from snow leopard) but it still doesn't work. I have parallels 6 also installed and IT works fine. I am missing a rtl network adapter-thanksr

Hi
I have a new 21 inch imac oct 2011 version. I installed bootcamp and windows xp on my machine and i also installed parallels 6.
Paralleles works great and i can open any program with it. But bootcamp also works EXCEPT it refuses to give me access to the internet. I installed the bootcamp drivers from my snow leopard disk, it did not make a difference. All the drivers installed but still no internet. I then installed the bootcamp drivers from the gray mac osx disk (#1) but it stopped installing with an error number ( 2753) and it said that the package was damaged.
I have tried everything; i opened each disk and trieed installing the files separately. Nothing.
What i see missing in my devices screen in XP is the network adapter.
I have a router (dlink-dr615) and it is connected by ethernet to my imac. I wonder if THIS might have anything to do with the problem. Any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thank you

I'd recommend reposting in the Boot Camp forum, that is where the Boot Camp and Windows gurus hang out.
Good luck.

Possible to tell which programs are accessing the internet? Bandwidth?

I seem to have intermittent, severely limited access to the internet at times.
Is it possible to tell if a particular program running in the background is either downloading or scanning or "online" in some manner...?
Is it possible on a Mac to see how much bandwidth, memory, cpu cycles, etc. particular programs are taking...in a window similar to that which opens on a PC after pressing CTRLALTDEL ?
thank you

Can I stop Time Machine from showing the little status window?

Hello,
I have Time Machine backing up successfully to an attached USB drive. I've only had it for a couple of days, but I noticed it started popping up a small "status" window whenever it's backing up. It's the same style window you get when you're downloading something. Is there an option so that doesn't pop up when TM is active? The icon on the top is enough notification for me. This one is kind of annoying!

Pondini wrote:
There is a small window with a progress bar, when Time Machine is doing it's initial full backup. Surely you're not seeing that every time?
Not every time, but definitely more than once. How could I post a screen shot here? I can if needed. I don't think it was a full backup, since it said it was only about 20 GB in size.
If it's really doing a full backup each time, something is clearly wrong. If in doubt, Click here to download the +Time Machine Buddy+ widget. It shows the messages from your logs for one TM backup run at a time, in a small window. Navigate to the most recent backup that showed the window, then copy and post all the messages for that run here.
Also tell us how much data is on your system (the +Estimated size of full backup+ under the exclusions box in TM Preferences > Options), how large your TM drive is, and how much data is on it (via +Get Info+ on the drive).
Estimated size of full backup 49.37 GB
Size of TM drive 320 GB (it's actually a 1TB USB drive, but I partitioned it)
Data on my MBP drive: 49.54 GB
As I type this it's doing another backup, but no progress bar, and it's only 18.9 MB
Anyway thanks for the tip on the TM Buddy. Here is the log from the last big one it did from when I posted the question...looks like there are a bunch of errors! FYI in the logs below "Time Capsule" is what I called the USB drive partition. It's not "the" Apple Time Capsule.

How to stop a program from automatically starting up at login..

Each of our children has an account on my computer. Recently my son has installed Skype using his account. It starts up everytime he logs in. I tried to disable this auto start up but I think I ran in to a bigger problem.
None of the other accounts are able to configure their own accounts (about half of all the other system preferences are also greyed out) and when I, logged in as the administrator, try to configure their accounts there is no 'Login Items' tab.
I tried it by looking for the 'StartupItems'-folder in all of the Libraries but there are none. The 'LaunchAgent' and 'LaunchDaemon' folders are in the System Library but are empty.
Maybe something is wrong with the preferences...
Anybody any ideas...??

icks and it's done!
The underlaying problem remains though (why can't I find any 'startupitems' folders. and why are two of the accounts not able to configure their own accounts?)
login items that you add from the dock or account preferences are handled differently. they are recorded in the file homedirectory/Library/Preferences/loginwindow.plist
this file is read at the login and items listed there are executed. deleting this file will clear the login items list.

I am running version 10.8.3 on mountain lion, and I'm sure it has something to do with bathe network settings, but have no idea how to fix it.... Everything has been set on automatic, but now doesn't seem to work.
I'm confused.... iPad, iPhone, works just fine on wifi... Just the browsing on iMac

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

HOW TO STOP CS4 INSTALL FROM FREEZING AT 80% ON WINDOWS 7?

After upgrading to the latest version of firefox. I can no longer access the internet and all traces of Mozilla Firefox are gone from my computer. I have no access to the internet, my home page or my e mails. What can be done??

I have been using firefox for years. I downloaded the latest version and at the conclusion of the down load I was refussed access to the internet. Something about Proxy???? I checked my firewalls and security and they said that mozilla was allowed but everytime I attempt to gain access I am refused. I cant access the internet and I cant download another program to access the internet. I uninstalled Firefox and attempted to reinstall but after uninstalling Firefox I have no means to reinstall because there are no traces of it on my computer and I no longer have access to the internet. What do I do? I cant access my e mails, stored messages, favorites etc etc.

No. After I select "Choose" the dialog box expands to provide only three choices. This is a new bug. I have only seen it in the past week or so, but it is maddening. I have observed that, while the Mozilla Foundation focuses on trivialities like which search engine should be the default, the Firefox application becomes buggier and buggier. Most of my family has switched to Chrome, and I will be following shortly. Firefox used to be a great program. Not any more. Getting assistance with a problem has also become very difficult.

TS3304 Problem in Downloading Profile needed in some cases to access the Internet through Wifi

I have an Iphone 4 and Ipad 3. I access the Internet in my hostel with the wifi router. When connected iphone with wifi , It automatically downloads profile needed to run internet. but in case of Ipad 3 , it does not and i am unable to access internet. So Please give me solutions so that i can Access net on my Ipad 3

I would love to have the liberty to block certain applications of my choice from accessing the internet
For example i dont want a game application like subway surf telling me that there is a new shirt my player can wear.... i am happy with the basic application that was there when ever it was downloaded...
The ability for users to restrict an app's ability to access the Internet is a decision left to the app's developer. Presumably, if an app requires an Internet connection to function that choice would not be a logical one to implement. On the other hand if the app developer decides an Internet connection is optional, the choice is easily implemented in Settings.
In the case of free games such as Subway Surfers, nearly all of them rely upon in-app purchases to generate the revenue required for their development and support. In such cases the developer will not be interested in limiting that revenue source. Users with no money to spend do not comprise a successful business plan.
