Ksurl - Found w/ Little Snitch after Google Voice

i just wanted to go on record to say that i too found that ksurl was connecting and only cropped up after i installed Google Voice/Chat/Talk on a Mac.
i still am not clear about what it does or why it's connecting (or trying to, i stop the thing) but here is the best/most simple explanation: http://themacxperts.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/mactec/20090526111503/

here is my connection history... (from Little Snitch)

Just for general information, these are user to user forums, so until someone sees your post who has some actual information, it may take a while for someone to respond.
+I also found some unprepared disk permissions just a few mins ago+
+It says in 12 pages a lot of bad permissions. They all have to do with my Airport.+
+I don't want to repair them though because I'm using Little Snitch on some of my files for security.+
If you have a problem with permissions, you should repair those. I don't know why you'd think it would mess up things - repairing permissions fixes them.
+Update 3: BTW, I just went into software update. It can't check updates because of a "network problem". I never had this error before. Any ideas?+
I don't use Little Snitch, but I would suspect that you have a setting there that is preventing your uploads as well as your communication with the Apple server. Hopefully someone using that app will chime in here on that.
So, until someone using Little Snitch can chime in, I would suggest you try turning it off for a short while; repairing your permissions, and then try to upload your videos. If it works, then you'll know the culprit and will need to adjust some settings there. If it doesn't, at least we've eliminated it as a source of the problem.

  • Mid 2011 Macbook Air won't boot after installing Little Snitch 3. Grey Screen.

    Hi all
    I think the answer is probably that my SSD is toast but here's the symptoms in case anyone else has experienced this.
    I installed Adobe Lightroom and also got round to upgrading my Little Snitch license and finally putting it on my 11" Air (mid 2011, latest version of Lion) as I use the computer more often than my Pro. After restarting as LS requires I was met with the grey Apple logo screen with no spinning gear. I forced a shut down and started again, again the logo screen, no spinning gear. I tried booting in to safe mode and got only a grey screen, then I tried booting in to recovery mode and got the Apple Logo again. I also tried cmd + C and alt/option with an external DVD drive and Snow Leopard with no luck
    Then I tried a SMC reset, after that I started up and only got the Logo again. I reset the PRAM and the main effect of that was to reset the system volume to max so now I can hear the POST chime but also since the PRAM reset I get only the grey screen and no further. I tried to boot from a USB Lion recovery but only the grey screen. I have also tried booting with cmd +S with no luck either. Internet recovery doesn't work either.
    The keyboard seems to be completely unresponsive, the caps lock key doesn't light up at all and I've a feeling that it's either something as simple as a problem with the keyboard or the SSD is kaput. I think that Little Snitch is a coincidence as there's nothing like this anywhere on the web as far as I can tell with Google and there doesn't appear to be anything on these forums that quite matches, especially the part about not being able to use and alternative boot method.
    Anyone out there got any ideas?
    Cheers
    John

    Hi and thank you for your response.
    The fans only kick in when the machine freezes.
    I updated from Snow Leopard to Lion using the App Store. The install was successful and worked for about 30 mins then the unresponsive behavior started. Once I rebooted, I received the issue previously stated above (i.e., the trackpad and keyboard is unresponsive).
    I've also tried booting using the Option key and choosing the Recovery Mode. Once in Recovery Mode the same crash happens  (i.e., the trackpad and keyboard is unresponsive)

  • Google Voice Won't Work With Bluetooth Headset After Jelly Bean

    I am SO frustrated. I had no idea I was installing the Jelly Bean update when I updated the software on my phone. Note to Verizon Communications team: PLEASE do a better job of communicating significant software updates. I would not have installed Jelly Bean. I learned long ago to stick with factory OS on my phones.
    Since the update, I noticed that I could no longer dictate texts and emails. Also, my call recording app no longer worked. I switched to Swype and it would work for a few minutes and then stop.  I could still use my bluetooth headset to make calls and S voice worked (although, like others here, I noticed that it's now worse--it doesn't recognize any contact names I request anymore). After trolling Android forums I found that the problem is with the bluetooth headset. You can still dictate when the phone's bluetooth is on, but when a device is connected, all bets are off.
    I almost did a factory reset, but then I read that a hard reset will not restore ICS, nor did it resolve this bluetooth Google Voice issue for the few people who tried it already. In fact, resetting caused more problems (eg., more battery drain and removal of Adobe Flash, etc.).
    Does anyone know how I can go back to ICS? Bluetooth and Google Voice are the two features I value most in my phones. This is a NIGHTMARE.

    rcschnoor -
    The Bluetooth/Voice Search/Dictation issue is a valid issue for the OP, a valid issue for me and oh yeah, the hundreds of other people affected by the, "Google Voice Search stuck on "Initializing" bug filed here on the Google Android Project page.  Here is yet another reference to the same issue from Android Central.
    The "Google Music freezing after Jelly Bean Update on Galaxy S3" is also a valid and documented bug located here also on the Google Android Project page.
    So I ask, how does sharing with these people that do have these issues, and are affected by them, that you are not experiencing these issues help in any way?  Isn't that the whole purpose of a community forum to help others?

  • Can't use keyboard with google voice after 1.3.1 update

    Prior to 1.3.1, when I received a call via Google Voice, when prompted with the option to "1 take the call, 2 send to voicemail etc" I could just slide out the keyboard and hit which ever number I wanted. Now, (after 1.3.1) the keyboard seems unresponsive, and I must manually: 1) switch to keypad view 2) select the key I want.
    Is anybody else experiencing this? Or has anybody already filed a grievance under the feature request section of the Palm site?
    Thanks!
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Hi there,
    I am getting voice prompts to: "press 1 to take the call, press 2 to send to voice mail etc". My "1" key works just fine. It is more the delay in my ability to use it that is different between 1.2.1 and 1.3.1
    Previously, I could press the key and it would work right away. I could pick up the call, or send to voicemail, etc.
    Now, I press it and nothing happens, however, by the time the voice prompt returns to repeat my options, my keyboard starts to work..
    I hope that's more clear!
    Thanks!

  • Mail crashing after install Little Snitch

    My Mail app has started crashing every time I try to do something with it. AFAIK, the only difference in my set up from when Mail worked smoothly is that I just yesterday installed Little Snitch. Crashing began then. I have now uninstalled Little Snitch (per its UnInstaller), but I am continuing to experience Mail crashes. Any suggestions or thoughts?
    Many thanks,

    When an application crashes (i.e. quits unexpectedly), the system writes information about the state of the application at the moment of the crash into a log file. That information is called a crash report and it makes troubleshooting much easier because it makes possible to properly identify the exact cause of the crash without having to follow trial-and-error procedures. In order to find and paste the relevant part of the crash report here, do the following:
    1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    2. From the View menu, choose Show Log List -- if Hide Log List is displayed instead, skip this step.
    3. On the left pane of the Console window, expand ~/Library/Logs by either double-clicking on it or clicking on the triangle to the left. Expand CrashReporter as well.
    4. Select Mail.crash.log. The whole Mail crash log appears on the right pane of the Console window. It may contain many crash reports. We only want the latest, which is located at the bottom of the file.
    5. Look for a line that begins with "Date/Time:" as close to the bottom as possible, and another that says "Thread N Crashed:", where N is a number. Select everything from the "Date/Time:" line to the lines immediately following "Thread N Crashed:". Copy that text and paste it here. Do not post the whole crash log, and do not include anything beyond the lines immediately following "Thread N Crashed:" either, just the relevant part.
    There was a "crash-fest" not too long ago. You may want to take a look at it for examples of what a crash report looks like and what to do in each case:

    Don't hesitate to post the relevant part of your crash report here if you are not sure which of the cases discussed in that thread applies to you.

  • Little Snitch Upload Problems?

    **The following was posted on another forum**
    **Maybe you can help?**
    I have a IMac Core 2 Duo 3.06ghz. It runs programs such as Final Cut Pro. A few months after I got it, I started having this file upload error, where whenever I upload a photo or doc to my Yahoo Mail or Youtube or any other site, it says file upload error on each site or another canned message. However, If I try and upload something on Windows Live Mail or Facebook, I have no problems. I'm assuming because this is flash. Any ideas?
    Update 1: All my software is up-to-date date. I'm using Safari. Same error in Google Chrome.
    I also found some unprepared disk permissions just a few mins ago
    It says in 12 pages a lot of bad permissions. They all have to do with my Airport.
    I don't want to repair them though because I'm using Little Snitch on some of my files for security. I'm afraid it will mess with some of these settings.
    It is crucial I have these in tact.
    Update 3: BTW, I just went into software update. It can't check updates because of a "network problem". I never had this error before. Any ideas?
    Update 4: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2394357&tstart=0
    Will the tips in this thread disable my little snitch?
    Thanks so much!

  • Verizon Mms support for Google voice

    Google voice now supports mms, albeit not in the most graceful fashion.  I ported my number to Google voice as I was a user previously when I was a Sprint customer.  Sprint had native Google voice integration and it is great!  I was simply fed up with their lack of 4g data coverage so I moved to Verizon.  I found out after porting my number to Google voice that AT&T and Verizon selectively decline to participate with Google on mms support.  Why is this? Are there any plans to change this situation?   If I could switch everyone I knew to hangouts I would it is a great service, but isn't feasible, so I need the ability to receive mms through my Google voice number.

    Going to side with Justin here as well (and those of us who have been here for a while know, like ourselves, that he isn't a Verizon employee)  ... the issues being described are indicative of a local inside wiring problem (poor cabling, loose connections, unterminated/noise introducing cable outlets, etc.).   Since the TV is indicating problems, it's likely also interfering with the MoCA signal to the modem which would result in internet issues as well.
    I can second my experience with Chrome as well ... it works just fine with Verizon webmail.  Just tried it again to be sure.
    If you are encountering problems, it would be helpful if you could be more specific.  I suspect the you have an anti-virus / malware product that is probably set to block certain kinds of traffic (like Javascript, etc.) that is potentially interfering.   The solution in such cases is to whitelist the Verizon site as a known location -- how to do that however is a function of your anti-virus/anti-malware product.
    As for cost, I've been a customer for several years now.  My rate went up by $10 once in that time and I ended up rebundling my STB's and essentially negating that increase.  Compared to my cable provider -- who I continue to evaluate every year for cost/speed (while I like FiOS, I believe in fair competition and the best price / speed will always win my business) -- they are still the best deal for my money (don't get me wrong, cheaper or more bundle optons would be better!).  YMMV. 

  • Google Voice integration problem

    Greetings,
    I wanted to see if we could get a response from Verizon on this issue of Google Voice not correctly integrating with the Thunderbolt.  I've noticed two main issues with GV for Thunderbolt.  
    When trying to go through the steps to set up voicemail, using the Android method of sending the text message from the phone does NOT work.  You must instead set up the phone on the Google voice website, then do the *71XXX-XXX-XXXX (the X being your area code and phone number) in order for voicemail to be set up.
    When dialing a number using the keypad, it will display the google voice local trunk number instead of the number you called.  When dialing a contact, it will show the contact name, but it will display the city in which the Google Voice trunk number resides.  
    HTC/Verizon/Google need to figure this out as it is an integral component to making Android and Google Voice work well together. 
    Thanks!
    GB

    Perhaps I haven't explained the situation properly.  I agree, number one isn't an issue, as there is a solid workaround, even though it doesn't properaly allow users to set up voicemail.  For number 2, it is a real problem that is NOT evident in any of the other Android devices I have tried.  I have tried Google Voice integration with the OG Droid, Facsinate, Inspire, Droid 2, Atrix and the Thunderblot.  The Thunderbolt is the only one that exhibits this issue.  Usually when you dial a number on Android, it will bring up the little bubble window on top with the Google Trunk number and then show the number or contact you were calling once the bubble disappears.  The Thunderbolt, while it brings up the bubble window with the Trunk number, it still shows the Trunk number after the bubble disappears in the dialer.  This does NOT occur in any of the other devices I have tested.  It is a bug. 

  • ISight conflict when installing Google Voice and Video driver

    After installing Google Voice and Video driver, the iSight stops working on Flash based applications or websites.
    Two camera drivers are installed: Google camera 0 and Google camera 1.
    Even if I go to Settings and choose the correct driver (iSight Integrated), it does't works.
    The only way I found to solve this issue is removing those Google's drivers (Library/Application Support/Google/GoogleVoiceAndVideoUnistaller).
    However, this is not a solution since I can't use GTalk anymore.
    Does Flash Player 10.2 fixes this conflict?

  • How to sync contacts with Google Voice?

    Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the Desktop Software and need a little help.  I have had my bb for over 2 years now, but I have never used the DT software for anything but a full back up do a full reset of my phone.
    So he is the situation.  I just signed up for a Google Voice account and replaced my sprint voicemail with the google voicemail.  I want to add all my bb contacts to my gmail/google account but I don't want to do it manually.  To sum things up, here are my questions (the ones that I think would solve my problem, but feel free to let me know if I'm venturing down the wrong path at anytime)
    1) Is there a way to set the DT software to use Gmail/google as the application for Address Book?  Right now I'm just using the Windows 7 Contacts.
    2) If I can't use Gmail directly, is there another application that the DT software can link to that will save all the contacts as CSV files, and then I import them to Gmail that way?  I believe Windows 7 saves them as a .contact file and Gmail says the format is invalid?
    3) How do I add applications to the DT software that are available to sync the organizer data with?  Currently the only options I have are Yahoo, Windows 7 Contacts, ASCII, and a 4th that I don't remember at the moment.
    The usb port on my phone is going bad, so I have to do a balancing act it the cable in order to get the computer to even recognize that the phone is connected, so I really would like to get all my contacts into my Gmail account in case I have to get a different type of phone.... My patience is running thin waiting on the new Bold LOL
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hey dcdarrencrosby,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    You will not be able to use the BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize your contacts from BB to Google.
    However if you have a Gmail account added on the BlackBerry, there is a wireless sync option that can bring your contacts over.

  • Google Voice APP and Google Voice will use cell phone minutes.

    My Verizon contract has 1400 minutes shared with 3 cell phones. I noticed that my cell number was using minutes from the calling plan. I normally call the other two cell phones, and my home number (which is on my friends of family calling list). My original intention was to be able to hide behind Google Voice and not allow my cell phone number to be broadcast. Google Voice would use whatever phone number was available on their server, make the call, then connect with my cell phone to complete the connection. I didn't notice that my minutes were being used until after someone else reported that they had exceeded their plan minutes after switching their cell phone to use their Google Voice number for outgoing calls.
    I called Verizon concerning this issue, and their only response was to contact the third party.
    I have now, and informed my friends, to only use their number and change the Google Voice APP, Making Calls setting to "Do not use Google Voice to make any calls".
    Just thought others would like to know.

    As an example of the comparison: http://searchunifiedcommunications.techtarget.com/feature/Skype-vs-Google-Voice-Feature-by-feature-s...
