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!

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.

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.

Little Snitch Problems / Trail software Problems

Hello all, I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question but it's the best I could find.
I recently downloaded two trial softwares. Little Snitch, and AstoundStereo, both from the Apple site. I decided against using both of them and deleted them before the trail ran out. Problem is, I'm still receiving annoying alerts from both programs, even though no trace of them (that I can see) remains on my computer.
Little Snitch will pop up and tell me my 3 hour trial has expired (it expired a few weeks ago) and AstoundStereo is still counting down the days left in its trial, despite both these applications being uninstalled.
Anybody know how I can fix this problem?
Any help greatly appreciated thank you

Hi
AstoundStereo - per the developer, run the uninstall program located in the AstoundStereo Expander folder, which is within the Applications folder. If you deleted that folder, download another copy of the software and open the installer. Either you'll be able to uninstall it from there, or you'll need to install the app. again so you can uninstall it.

Facetime Error, Little Snitch to blame?

I had LittleSnitch for about a month and then decided that it was really annoying. I deleted the program, every single little file I can find for it, I deleted. However, I think it has blocked some connection that is causing my Facetime error because I can't figure out any other problem. I'm pretty sure I denied some connection when I had facetime on Snow Leopard and joy, no more facetime for me.
Error I get:
"The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
This has been happening from Day 1 of getting Lion and I got Lion as soon as it came out. Help? Someone? Please?

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)

Apple remote desktop can click little snitch

I have set up apple remote desktop over the net and I am trying to admin the computer but when I am trying to run a program, I can not control little snitch firewall and click to let the program connect to the internet. why cant apple remote desktop click the settings in little snitch that pop up when an app wants to connect to the internet? I thought we were suppose to have total control?

I have observed the same problem with Little Snitch on the client Mac. Everything else on the client is responsive except the LS dialog box. To get around this, I have opened System Preferences -> Little Snitch and turned it off on the client. You just have to remember to turn it back on when your done.
It's not a solution, just a workaround...

Little Snitch how to leave apps call home?

I love Little Snitch but I am wondering are you able to leave certain applications called home with out constantly asking for your permission? I use Kaspersky and it has Web Anti-Virus and what's happening is Kaspersky is calling home to see if the web pages I am going to is safe every that happens Little snitch thing kicks in and ask for permission to leave it do so. I trust Kaspersky is there a way to just leave it do its own thing I'm not to be asking me for constantly asking permissions?

You need to read the Little Snitch documentation. It is very easy to tell it to always allow certain applications to communicate, I just don't remember exactly how to do it. (It's been a while since I used Little Snitch.) I would have to say, though, that if you haven't read the documentation far enough to learn how to do this, you probably shouldn't be using Little Snitch. It's a powerful tool that can cause problems if not used properly.
I also would recommend that you use something other than Kaspersky. It's just okay at detecting Mac malware, and there are far better tools that won't cost you any money. See:
http://www.thesafemac.com/mac-anti-virus-testing-01-2013/
As to which to use, and whether you should use one at all, see my Mac Malware Guide.

A different uploading problem

I have read through the discussions and see that a lot of people are having an uploading problem. I am too, but my problem is a little different. When I upload my photos, everything seems to be fine, all the pages turn from blue to red, and it appears to be done. But, if I quit iWeb, it says it hasn't finished uploading. When I go to the site on the web, everything is there. So, it seems to not be finalizing the last little part where it marks the files as uploaded.
I am using iWeb 1.1.1.
I have tried deleting the files from my iDisk and uploading again.
I have repaired permissions.
I have deleted the file com.apple.iWeb.plist
It's not that I'm trying to quit too soon, I have left it for hours, even overnight, and it doesn't complete.
There's a small circle to the right of the word site that fills in to show progress as it's finishing, and that gets to the point where there's only a small sliver of white.
Any ideas? Thanks for the help!

Have you tried "Publish ALL to .Mac"?

Firewall or Little Snitch

Re. Firewall 10.5.1 sync problem.
If you have Little Snitch 2.01 running, do you need to have the Firewall as well. Do they do the same job.

Yes, you need the firewall. Little Snitch will alert you when applications try to access the Internet, but it does nothing to block port scans and other intrusion attempts. The firewall is a necessity, Little Snitch is an enhancement.

Little Snitch and Leopard

Apparently, Leopard's firewall looks at outbound traffic as well as inbound. Is anyone using Little Snitch with Leopard? Any problems?
Thanks

Check this out: Leopard's firewall, by contrast, allows (or denies) access to specific applications on your Mac. And this works in both directions — not only does it filter out incoming traffic, but when a Mac application tries to access the network for the first time, Leopard asks you if it should be given access. This stops "phone-home" type programs in their tracks.

This article is incorrect. The firewall deals only with incoming connections.

Need a fix for Muse upload problems to GoDaddy???? I found one!

GoDaddy now has a new cpanel named "Plesk". In that panel you will find File Manager. (I use the Windows version). In the left panel of File Manager, you will see the root directory and all of its subfolders. When you click on any of these folders, you will see their contents in the right panel. You will also see a folder labelled "httpdocs". This is the default folder that is set up in GoDaddy to be your "home" folder. So, to fix your upload problems, do these steps:
1. Click on the httpdocs folder to see it open in the right panel. In the toolbar above the right panel, you will see a green plus sign with the word "New". Click on this drop-down menu.
2. Choose "directory"
3. Type in the name of one of the folders that your site will need, e.g. images, css, assets, scripts, etc. This basically creates a subfolder within the httpdocs folder, right? (There is a way to see how your Muse site sets up these folders prior to publish or upload. You do this by choosing "Export as HTML" in the File menu of Muse, creating a folder on your desktop (or wherever) for the HTML export, then inspecting its contents after your save it.)
4. Continue to create all the subfolders within httpdocs that you will need. Unfortunately, you have to do this one folder at a time.
5. After you have them set up, begin the process of uploading your site, like this:
6. In the File menu in Muse, you'll of course see "Upload to FTP Host ...". Click on it.
7. A dialog box will open. In the top text field, type in your website name ... you must use www. with your entry
8. In the "FTP Host" field, type in your domain name again like this ... "ftp.yourdomain.com" ... NO FORWARD SLASHES!!! (even if you find instructions to the contrary, like in Filezilla) (Also, your domain might be a .org or .net, instead of a .com)
9. In the "Host directory" field, YOU MUST ENTER "httpdocs"!!!! Despite what you learn, DO NOT LEAVE THIS FIELD BLANK!!!
10. Then enter your GoDaddy username and password. (If you set up a different username for your GoDaddy account and your Plesk account, like I did, then use your Plesk username and password.)
11. Click on "Upload: All Files"
The next few steps are tedious, but necessary to keep your site organized on GoDaddy and to keep from confusing things. You can probably get away with it, but, if your site doesn't load properly in a browser after doing the above steps, you'll need to click on each folder in the root directory that you copied as a subfolder in the "httpdocs" folder and delete the files. For example, in the left panel of File Manager, you'll see the root directory. Click on the "images" folder. If there are any images that you need for your site in that folder, delete them. Remember ... you've already copied them over to the images subfolder in httpdocs during your last upload described in the instructions above. If you don't trust that you can delete them, click on the "httpdocs" folder, then click on the "images" folder and check the files. Same files, right? So, go ahead and delete the site files that you find in the appropriate folders in the root directory, making sure that you don't delete the ones that are NOT duplicated within the "httpdocs" folder. Also remember that your .html pages will not require a subfolder to be set up in the "httpsdocs" folder. They can just sit there, looking pretty. But you will have to delete them from the root directory to keep things tidy. Just click on the folder icon next to "root directory", and you'll see those html pages in the right panel. Again, delete them.
REMEMBER: To keep your Muse uploads to your GoDaddy site error free, you must ALWAYS make sure that "httpdocs" appears in the "Host directory" field in the "Upload to FTP Host ..." dialog box in Muse. And all files and folders that your site needs MUST go in the "httpdocs" folder in the root directory of your site in GoDaddy's File Manager (now found in your Plesk Panel).
I hope this wasn't too confusing. If so, call GoDaddy. I called them with this fix and they are using it in their phone support.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I was going out of my mind. And GoDaddy was no help (although they're usually really good.) I put all the folders in "httpdocs" and the website worked perfectly!

Little snitch and dashboardadvisoryd

I installed little snitch and i get this message that dahsboardadvisoryd wants to connect to www.apple.com.edgekey.net
so I want to know what is dashboardadvisoryd and should I allow it to connect forever

It checks to see if updates are available for your Dashboard widgets. If you think that's useful, allow it to connect when it wants.

SystemUIServer wants to connect to Port 192 via Little Snitch

Hey everyone...
Over the past couple of days my Little Snitch program has been reporting that "SystemUIServer" wants to make a UDP Connection to my router (192.168.2.1) via port 192.
This message only appears after I've booted up the computer and only has been coming up recently.
I installed the latest version of Little Snitch (2.1.4) last week but am not sure why the "SystemUIServer" process wants to connect to my router via port 192 just now out-of-the-blue.
Am I okay in putting a new rule into Little Snitch to allow this request "Forever" or should I be worried?
Message was edited by: dingdong2u

Is that the IP of your router? If so, it's most likely normal.
It may be some kind of data transfer between your router and the computer.
Does it happen with a direct Ethernet connection and WiFi or only one?
It's listed as OSU Network Monitoring System.
You might block it and see what happens.
Just click on the yellow triangular menu item for LS and turn it off forever and see if you notice anything not working correctly.

Does anyone know what is Little Snitch and is it safe to use

I had an email from a friend who mentioned about Little Snitch to prevent keyloggers, is it safe to use. If it is not I can relay this information back to my friend
who was just about to install this software. Prevention is better than cure
Thanks

The way to prevent keyloggers is to not allow anybody else admin access to your Mac, since that's about the only way a keylogger could get there.
What Little Snitch will do is prevent a keylogger that is installed on your Mac from communicating to the outside world over your network.
I've been using it since v1.0, I believe and it's very safe as long as you know what you are doing. I would also mention that it's a bit of a PITA to initially set up as it will ask your permission for almost every appication and process that needs to communicate over your network. You will find some processes that you aren't aware of that must be given permission or they won't work. You will probalby need to Google some of them to find out exactly what they are before making a decision.
