Leopard 10.5.3 and iTunes syncing with atv turn firewall off?

Ok so I just updated to Leopard, and with the firewall on, Itunes cannot communicate with my ATV. Itunes states that port 3689 is blocked and I have to allow communication with this port through my firewall. Now how can I set my firewall to accept communication on this port without me having to disable the firewall altogether like I am doing right now? I am very nervous right now. I tried adding iTunes to the apps selection of the firewall, did not work. Guess I need more info on Leopard firewall settings. But I cannot for the life of me find port settings anywhere?!?

Doh, and I was sooo hopeful that would work, I still get messages like this from my log
Firewall[57]: Deny iTunes connecting from 10.0.1.197:63516 uid = 0 proto=6
Nuts!
On another note, just found out how to fix that annoying help window ontop of everything in Loepard, type this into terminal.
defaults write com.apple.helpviewer NormalWindow -bool true
if you like help to be on top, change "true" to "false" gotta love macworld for that little nugget. Here is the article link

    Hello, lustige luka. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    The Personal Hotspot feature using USB  should be as simple as connecting the device to your Mac via the USB cable when Hotspot is enabled.  Here is some more information regarding this feature and an article that will provide some troubleshooting steps if you are experiencing an issue.

  • I purchased some films on my ipad and since syncing with my itunes, I have lost all my films, can anyone help?

    I purchased some films on my ipad and since syncing with my itunes, I have lost all my films, can anyone help?

    There is some troubleshooting for 0xE8 error codes on this page : iOS: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting to a Windows PC
    For the charging via USB, a lot of computers don't provide enough power to their USB ports to charge an iPad at a sufficient rate (it may still be charging, especially if the iPad's is locked and the screen is off), the iPad's own wall charger is generally the best way to charge it.

  • Home sharing does not work after update to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9

    I am using home sharing since about a year without any problems. After updating to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 it suddenly does not work anymore.
    On my iMac and my Mac Book Pro I get error code 3259 and it tells me to check my firewall and to enable Port 3689.
    I did not change anything in the firewall settings, itunes on both allows data traffic in both directions. I also do not find any option to activate a port ( also wondering why this is suddenly now necessary)
    I deactivated home sharing on both machines and enabled it again. It still does not work.
    On both machines iTunes displays the the library on the left side but like said it is not accessable
    With Finder I can access the other computer from both machines without any problem.
    Any help to solve this would be very much appreciated

    first of all, if you are behind a router firewall, and have your network secured (WPA2 and a long, non-dictionary password made up of letters and numbers), you don't need the software firewall on your Mac(s).
    @ least turned if off for troubleshooting purposes.
    turn home sharing off on both computers, and make sure
    (a) both Macs have access to the internet
    (b) iTunes on both machines is authorized for the same iTunes account.
    turn home sharing back on on both Macs.
    does it work ?

  • ITunes sync with Outlook 2013 preparing to sync runs forever

    iTunes sync with Outlook 2013 preparing to sync runs forever, what is the problem?

    I have updated addresses and names in the iPhone. When I sync with Outlook it takes the updated name portion, but does not pick up the address from the iPhone. The Whitepages app (pretty handy app) will update my iPhone contact list, but I cannot then transfer that information over to my Outlook contact list. This all needs to work together. Solutions?

  • Itune sync with outlook calendar

    everytime itune sync with outlook calendar,
    a calendar folder under Outlook calendar is created.
    iphone only sync with the newly created blank folder
    therefore, nothing.

    Answer Jbieber16:
    Normally, when I sync my HTC (Pocket PC) with my notebook, I just plug USB cord to HTC (micro USB head) and notebook (regular USB head).  Microsoft Mobile Device Center will automatically start and then sync data between HTC and notebook (sync Microsoft Outlook data, musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in designated folder).
    When sync completed, Microsoft Outlook's contacts, calendar, notes, emails as well as musics, photo, and Microsoft Office files in HTC and Notebook will be identical and updated.
    Without USB cord, it can be synced via Bluetooth (cordless).
    Note: I posted this question because some of my friends using iPhone told me that "data of Microsoft Outlook will partially sync to iPhone via iTune, not all data".  So I check before sync Microsoft Outlook data with my new iPad2.

  • ITunes Sync with iPad restores deleted apps

    I've thought I've locked this down, but I guess I am not understanding settings or such things. I have an iPad2 updated to latest iOS, and iTunes also with most recent update. I do not sync wirelessly. When I plug my iPad into my PC it automatically starts to sync with no problems. The part that I am trying to avoid is that it automatically reinstalls anything that I've manually deleted off the iPad whether it be apps, songs, documents, etc. . .
    I am looking for iTunes to back these sorts of things up and to add changes on the iPad to the PC side of things, but NOT for iTunes to automatically restore things that have been removed from the iPad since the last sync. I've deleted a bunch of apps that I don't use and take up too much space. Same with songs and documents, but today when I plugged it into my PC, iTunes restored everything until I had out of space errors. That being said it created new pages to add all the restored apps to and now I have to go through and delete all those again. My fear is that after all the work I put into make these changes is that next sync it will repeat the same problem. Like I said earier, I thought I had made the proper setting changes, but apparently not.
    Any help is appreciated,
    Thanks!

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer/files/docs/music/pics/etc.
    Use this to put everything back on the hard drive.
    The ipad syncs with one library. When you installed a new hard drive, the it became a new library. The ipads content will be erased and replaced with content from the new library. That is the way it works. Another reason why you should use your backup copy to put everything back on your new hard drive.

  • IPod Touch upgrade to use iMessage and it syncs with Dad's iPhone info!!! Using family pack Mobile Me. HELP???

    I have three children that use iPod Touches. They are all iOS5 capable. I upgraded the first one this morning and it synced with my iPhone profile on iCloud. It asked for the iTunes account information which is what I believe caused this. We use Mobile Me Family Pack and each of the children have a unique @me.com account. How do I fix this problem so that each iPod has it's own unique login so that iMessage will work? I don't really want to open them up to any further exposure  on the Web though... . As it stands I am able "micromanage" their contact list via Mobile Me. Is there any way to make the iPods behave correctly and still maintain parental control as well as allow them to keep their unique profiles and contact lists???
    ...and for some reason, after upgrading my son's iPod Touch... his apps all disappeared from the device??? Strange, as this worked perfectly when I upgraded my iPhone yesterday.
    PS. All my upgrades are current. iOS5 on iPhone 4, iTunes 10.5 on MBP.

    I spent about 2 hours on the phone with Apple Support... had to restore both devices! Arrrgggghhh!!! Thankfully the iPhone had a Backup from yesterday. The iPod wasn't too tough to get back up and running either... although we had to completely reload it as if it were new. Then we found out that Apple won't let the device login with my son's @me.com email because he's too young (10). Quick work-around for now until Apple fixes this was to lie about his age in the setup. I don't like the work around, but it worked.

    So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks.  I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
    On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
    Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

  • Catalog partially and randomly synced with disc. Have to find and sync A LOT.  Help!  :(

    I am just getting started with LR4.  After installation, the catalog is only partially and randomly synced with my hard drive. (Windows 7)  It seems I have to find and sync way too many files.  There are some files which don't appear in the catalog at all.  So I uninstalled and reinstalled the program and the problem is the same.  Did I miss something or do I have a corrupt program?  Can I find and sync my entire pictures file at once?

    Well, that's a clear indication that the files in question indeed are alreaday somewhere in your catalog; Lightroom is usually right about that. They might not be in the place you expect them to be though.
    You might want to look carefully through the folder structure in Lightroom and see if there are any strange folders you don't remember creating.
    One thing that might have happened during one of the imports is that instead of choosing 'add' in the import window, you had 'copy' selected. When doing that, files end up in the place defined in the right hand column of the import window. Depending on what was selected (or what was there as default), LR has created a folder e.g. with the date of the pictures as name, inside an other folder, etc.
    I encountered this kind of problem myself. An example of what happened:I have my files in folders named by date, in hierarchical year-month-day structure. Using the 'Import' function, I wanted to 'add' the '2011-05-12' to my '2011-05' folder, but erroneously selected 'copy'. Due to the selection I made last time I 'copied' files on import, the folder ended up in the folder '2011-04' - which I didn't notice at first. After the import, I couldn't find the 2011-05-12 folder, and when trying to import the whole 2011 folder with all of its subfolders, it told me that there are no pictures to import as all were already in the catalog. Like in your case, only unchecking 'don't include suspected duplicates' let me see the missing files.
    So try to see if you can find folders where they shouldn't be or folders with unusual names. If that's the case, remove them from the catalog, and your problems will disappear.
