Odd firewall issue, remote management works on 1 server, not the other

I've enabled port forwarding, made sure I mapped address to mac ports in the DHCP client settings (to ensure a "static" address), and choose the correct IP address for port forwarding. Then, I enable remote management on my snow leopard laptop then connect remotely (from outside lan) and it works. To the reverse, my 10.5.8 OS X server set up with the same items (although the menus are slightly different given each are diff versions), change port forwarding IP addresses on router, and try outside the lan from the client to connect to the server. Failed. Of course, remote management works fine on the LAN in both directions, only fails from snow leopard client to 10.5.8 server when not on same lan.
So, to illustrate:
10.5.8 (client) ---> internet --> router --> snow leopard laptop (server) WORKS!!
snow leopard laptop (client) --> internet --> router --> 10.5.8 (server) FAILS!!!
client --> LAN --> server (in either direction) WORKS!!

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

I have CS6 and CC installed on my mac when I'm using CS6 and use bridge CC activates how can I set this to only work on one and not the other

If you want Bridge CS6 to open when using Photoshop CS6, you must quit Bridge CC.
Then File menu > Browse in Bridge will bring up Bridge CS6.
If Bridge CC is already open, The File > Browse in Bridge for Photoshop CS6 will use Bridge CC and Bridge CS6 will not open.
I hope that's the answer you were looking for.

Airdrop works one way but not the other?

There are two Macbook Airs in my house, both new models (one 13" the other 11"). Airdrop appears to work from the 13" to the 11" but not the other way around. The error message in the console is:
29/07/11 11:09:49.684 PM Finder: WormholeClient::didFail(kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork, -1200, "An SSL error has occurred and a secure connection to the server cannot be made.")
I've tried logging in to another (new, clean) user profile to see if there was some kind of conflict going on, but that didn't make a difference.

It's the firewall settings. It seems like a bug, because in the firewall I had Finder set to allow all incoming connections.
Do the following:
- System Preferences, Security, Firewall, Advanced settings
- Remove the entry for Finder by selecting it and press the minus button
- Check allow signed software
- Uncheck block all
It's working for me now.

Continuity only works mac to iPhone not the other way round

I have a 2011 macbook pro and iphone 5. Continuity works perfectly from my mac to iPhone 5 but not the other way round. This did work for a short time then just stopped without me changing any settings. Does anyone have any ideas?

Hello ,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
What aspect of Continuity are you having issues with? Your 2011 MacBook Pro does not meet the requirements to use Handoff and Instant Hotspot between a Mac and iOS device. Take a look at the information in the following article to learn more about using Continuity and how to verify your settings, as well as the requirements for doing so.

Script works on one site, not the other... why?

Could someone tell me why this prototype-based lightbox seems
to work on one
site but not on the other?
I literally took the exact same .js & css files, copied
them over from one
site to the other, but it's only partially working on the new
site.
http://www.vilverset.com/sample.html
And the original fully-functional one :
http://www.roxanacampagiorni.com/
Been troubleshooting this one for days, and I'm stumped.
Script wants
nothing to do with lightboxing HTML files on the new site.
Only straight
JPGs.

That's what I told a helper friend of mine, but he told me
the POST is done
by the server, not the JS files. That's why, according to
him, he couldn't
tell me what code to change in the .js files.
But here they are, if you would be so kind as to tell me WHAT
to replace
with WHAT so the call is made properly. :-)
http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/control.modal.2.2.3.js
http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/effects.js
http://www.vilverset.com/scripts/prototype.js
Those are the 3 files needed for the script.
Should I be banging on Dreamhost's door to fix something, or
not? Because
the exact same 3 files will render an HTML page just fine
over on
roxanacampagiorni.com.
Which is the guilty party? The script, or the server config?

AirDrop and Firewall - works one way, but not the other

This is strange:
I have AirDrop on two computers and each of them 'sees' the other (on the AirDrop radar).
When I drop a file, it tells me that it's waiting for the other computer to accept it.
On the other machine the dialog pops up and asks if I want to save the file.
This ist all good.
When I try this the other way round, I do not get the dialog to save and finally the sending machine expires.
When I switch off the firewall on the receiver that does not accept files, it works flawlessly.
However: the other machine has the firewall enabled all the time, and receiving does work there no matter what.
This is all bad.
Somehow the firewall seems bugged. The gui does not allow for a lot of experimenting and I am not very good at the console.
Can someone tell me how to get the firewall to be on and still be able to accept files via AirDrop?
"ipfw flush" did not help.
Thanks for the help!

It's the firewall settings. It seems like a bug, because in the firewall I had Finder set to allow all incoming connections.

QTSS Works on Mac but not the other

I have a Server running OS X Server 10.5.8. I am running QTSS and Apache on this machine, however I am having issues with Quicktime streaming. One mac here is able to successfully stream but all other macs on our network fail to connect despite the QTSS "Connections" window shows the connection to the machine trying to stream the video. In the end on the client Quicktime X shows "Not Found" however I am able to connect to the server via other services (ARD, AFP, HTTP). I can post any logs that might help.
Thanks in advance

I couldn't remember what the Display Preferences had said when we tried this last spring and again in the summer, so tonight we connected it again, and wouldn't you know - it worked just fine. We didn't do anything different, so I have no clue as to why it worked this time but not before. He's thinking about getting his own big display, but didn't want to waste his money if he couldn't get it to work, so now I guess we're shopping for another 23" display - probably a used one. Thanks!

Capturing webcam works on one computer, not the other.

Step 1 - I did all the JMF stuff and got the JMStudio working on my laptop that has a built in webcam.
Step 2 - I went into the JMF Registry, pulled out the video capture device (vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):0) and edited it into the SwingCapture application posted below and got the custom application working flawless.
Step 3 - Everything worked perfect so I loaded all the JMF/Eclipse stuff onto my uncle's laptop and plugged in his Panasonic PV-GS120 handheld video camera that also has webcam drivers.
Step 4 - Got the JMStudio working perfect with this webcam device and all is well.
Step 5 - Copied over my modified application (SwingCapture) and pulled the appropriate capture device (vfw:Microsoft WDM Image Capture (Win32):1) from JMF Registry and edited it into the right spot in the application.
Step 6 - Tried to run the application and got the following error:
java.io.IOException: Could not connect to capture device

You probably have manually installed JMF on the other system, and you have not placed JMF native system libraries in OS Path.
On Windows place the dll libraries found in JMFHOME\lib\*.dll in Windows System32 dir

2 Lenovo ideatab A2107A, front facing camera works on one but not the other

i just purchased two of the same lenovo ideatab A2107A from best buy and i noticed that when trying to take a picture on one i was able to zoom in and change to the front facing camera. The other i can get into the camera, but i cannot zoom in nor can i switch to front facing camera (the icon is not even there). the other camera works well, zoom, video and all, the other i cannot zoom and i cannot switch, any thoughts besides factory resetting?

hi catfish197621,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
You can try to:
1. Download the latest updates Over The Air (OTA) to get the latest patches and bug fixes on the OS (go to settings > about tablet > check for system update).
2. Download a camera app utility like Camera Zoom FX to see if you can zoom in and out and switch to the front facing camera.
Hope this helps.

23" works on One but not the Other

I have a Powerbook G4 1.25 GHz running 10.3.9 connected to a similar vintage 23" clear plastic case display with a DVI to ADC adapter connection and it works great.
My husband recently bought a used Powerbook G4 1.67 GHz running 10.4.8. We thought sure that when I was out of town with my computer he could hook up and enjoy the use of my big display, but no luck. It just gives him a blank screen.
Any suggestions as to why that would be? Does his machine require a different adapter? Is it possible his port is just not functioning?
Thanks!

USB Headset Works in One Port, Not the Other

When I got my headset (Logitech) it worked perfectly just after plugging it in and using it. It worked while plugged in to either of my USB ports on my laptop. Recently however, it has not worked at all while plugged in to the port on the left, while it still does work when plugged in to the port on the right.
If I open iTunes while plugged in to the non-working left port and make sure to change my system prefs so that the input and output use the Logtech USB Headset, then I hear no sound of any kind. If I then simply plug the USB headset into the other side of the computer without changing any settings, it works fine. This is new behavior as it used to work in both ports.
Another thing to note is that the volume control buttons on the headset still work even when plugged into the USB port that doesn't play sound. Also, I successfully plug in my printer, mouse and other devices to both ports and they all work fine.
I've tried repairing permissions, repairing preferences, and restarting, but nothing has helped so far.
Any ideas on why this would happen with any device?

Which operating system are you running? I have similar problems in a configuration with and iMac and a Macbook, but haven't tried to switch the system around. see this thread:

Printer Sharing Works in One Direction, Not the Other

I recently set up a MacBook for my mom. She also has an older iMac with a Canon Pixma IP90 attached, so I tried to set up printer sharing, which should allow her to print from the MacBook without switching the USB cable around. Printing from the iMac works perfectly. However, the printer refuses to show up on the MacBook's printer list when I try to add it on the MacBook.
The MacBook can use the printer when connected to it via USB, and -- here's the bizarre part -- the MacBook can share the printer with the iMac. But it absolutely refuses to work the other way around.
Printer sharing and AppleTalk are enabled on both machines.
What might explain this problem?

Joystick problem. works for one comp not the other.

Hello all,
I am trying to acquire data from my joystick. it's a simple vi with
initializing joystick vi and acquire input data vi and it works
perfectly flawlessly fine on my office computer windows xp, but once i
try the same vi with the same joystick in my lab, it does not read out
anything but the default values for axis info or direction info. the
only difference i can see is that the lab computer uses windows
2000...both have directX 9.0 installed since i saw that these vis
require directx 8.0 or higher.
from system panel's game controller, i can successfully test my
joystick and it works fine for both computers...but the vi just don't
seem to work in the windows 2000 one.
both comp have labview 8.0.
any suggestion in how i can fix this? what would be the reason to this?
thank you all!

AirTunes works for one Mac, not the other...

Hi all,
I have an AirPort Express that connects to our 2WIRE WiFi network. My mid-2008 MBP running iTunes 9 and OS 10.5.8 connects flawlessly, but I have a mid-2005 iBook G4 that I use as a file server that is now having trouble connecting to the remote speakers. It is also running iTunes 9 and OS 10.5.8, and I encountered the connection troubles right around the time iTunes 9 was released.
Firewall settings are the same on both computers, but is there anything else I should compare between the two machines to see what's allowing the MBP to work while preventing the iBook from working?
Thanks!
Message was edited by: Whoapossum

For anyone that may run into this problem, I went into the 2WIRE router settings and opened up TCP ports 548-554 on my Airport Express. All is running smoothly now!

Odd firewall issue, remote management works on 1 server, not the other
