Opening the firewall for programs you can't access via the dialog?

I have a server program located in /usr/var/ (cumulus) and I need to open the firewall for it. Because Leopard seems to block access to the / directory how can I add that application to the firewall? I can't seem to browse to it...
Better question still, how can I browse to / directory in the Finder?
Thanks all!

You cannot browse these hidden system directories using Finder.
You need to use the Terminal.
There are free firewall add-ons for Leopard that give you a better control over the firewall. There are also stand-alone firewall replacements. You can google for them, but be careful when you modify the OS. Be sure it is fully backed up, preferably with a bootable clone, just in case.

  • While trying to open iPhoto this message coming-You can't the application "iPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac

    I recently upgraded my MacBook from Moutain Lion to Maverick.After upgrading I can not open the iPhoto.Whenever I try to open I get the message --You can't open the application "iPhoto" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.Tell me how to solve the problem?

    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
    For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
    2a: On 10.5:  Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows:  In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
    /private/var/db/receipts
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
    *Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

    Why did you mark your post as solved?
    You will be better off posting in either the Lion or the iPhoto forum areas as this area is for Macbook Pro issues.  You are having software issues.

  • I just bought Lion from the app store and I was wondering how long it will be there for because you can't buy a hard copy of it and I was told they were fazing it out so if my computer crashes and I need to install it again will it still be there??

    FWIW, your profile shows that you are already on Lion - did you buy Mountain Lion?
    If you purchase an OS from the Mac App Store, it will be listed under your Purchases and will be available to download again if you need it. Note: the license is only for you and is not transferable; if you sell your Mac, you must uninstall it and reinstall the original system.
    If you did buy Lion - out of curiosity - since it is no longer showing in the app store, how did you buy it there? Or did you call Apple and they sent you a redemption code?

  • Can you see which apps are open and/or running like you can on an android phone by going to settings applications running services?

    can you see which apps are open and/or running (like you can on an android phone by going to settings>applications>running services)?

    Hi wjosten,
    thank you for the help.  I should have said I had a iphone 3.  A friend has the same phone and she showed me how she can see what web pages are open when she double taps the home button.  Mine is set to bring up favourites when I double tap (chosen from settings>general>home button).. BUT my choices are only HOME; SEARCH; PHONE FAVORITES; CAMERA or IPOD.  I changed my choice to HOME but that just defeats the purpose as when I am at the home page and double tap nothing happens.  Am I making sense?

    Hi Mark
    Was just looking for the answer to this exact question and I just found something that worked for me so don't know if it might be of use to you or you might have already solved your problem!  Basically when I was in iMovie and I clicked to import movies from the computer into iMovie and I found the clip I wanted to import, there are a few options.  I think it asked which Event I wanted to add it to but most importantly it asked me what file size I wanted...I had originally been clicking Large because it advised me to because it reduces the file size...but just on a chance there I selected 'Full - Original' for size and it imported perfectly into iMovie in it's original vertical form!
    Hope this helps!

  • FAQ: Are there rules for what you can access or target with interactions?

    Here are rules for what you can access/target for interactions:
    1. You can always target any page/state of your main application
    2. You can target the current component (the one you are editing in Edit-In-Place)
    3. You can target any component instances in the current component. If your current component contains 2 custom components, then you can target either.
    Keep in mind, transitions in Catalyst can only exist between different states of the same component.

    I have a lot of code that doesn't need to be checked for errors, so I don't know if I should pull that code out and do multiple try catch statements or just leave it like this...if this makes sense for the program logic you are going for then yes it is ok. I would say though the there should only be one try-catch block per thrower because theoretically each exception thrown has a different meaning for what your program should do in response.

  • 'IGN' doesn't work in firefox properly . For eg. you can't see previous reviewed games earlier than 1 month.

    For eg. you can't see previous reviewed games earlier than 1 month.

    Ok, I solved it now. The problem was the Adblock plus Add-on which blocked all facebook contents.
    I just tweaked the filter to allow all akamai.net content, then it worked.
    So to sum it up Adblock Plus was the reason why noting worked, I don't know why the videos crashed though, but this issue seems to be fixed, too so I don't have any other complains.
    So what did I do to come to this conclusion?
    Disabled all Add-Ons
    See if the problem still occurs
    Activate Add-Ons one by one to see which one causes the problem
    Look up why the Add-On is causing the problem and how to fix this
    That's it. Thanks for reading my post

  • "Sorry you can't access the BT Sport App and onlin...

    I've been trying to login to the BT Sport app and keep getting told that I haven't activated it yet. I'm shown an activate button and when I press it I'm taken to a site where I have to log in using my My BT credentials. Upon logging in I'm shown the following message:
    "Sorry you can't access the BT Sport App and online content because a BT ID created by Stephen is the account holder."
    The message is completely nonsensical as I the account holder and I've logged in with valid credentials. I tried calling the helpline and am still waiting for someone to call me back, even though I called them two hours ago. What awful service.

    Hi W0035521,
    Welcome to the community forum. Do you have more than 1 BT ID? It sounds like you have another ID that has been set up with account holder status. I can take a look at this for you. Please send me in your details using the "Contact The Mods" link found in my profile.

  • Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer. I prefer Firefox. Help!

    Firefox opens up, but, this morning, I can't access any links via Firefox. I can via Explorer.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • Using ExcelExport without opening the dialog box to select all the channels in portal by default

    Hi,
        I need to export all the data in the Data portal to an Excel file without opening the Dialog for channels selection. In the ExcelExport command, it asks for a Config (*.stp) file as one of the parameters. Is there need to create a new stp file for selecting all channels or can the same file (Example_ASC.stp ) be reused ? If so, do I need to change any content in the system stp file ?
    Thanks

  • I tried to add my Planner Plus to my calendar and it gave me a message that says "This app does not have access to your calendars."  You can enable access in Privacy Settings.  But when I go to Privacy Seettings, there are no apps listed under Calendar.

    I am trying to access my calender in the app Planner Plus and I get the message. "This app does not have access to your calendars."  You can enable access in Privacy Settings.  But when I go to Privacy Settings, there are no apps listed under Calendar.  Anyone?

    Oh my gosh. This worked perfectly!!!
    After allowing the changes, I just had to open the apps again (such as Instagram), then the pop-up asking to allow access to Photos appeared!
    And I thought I was going to get rid of my iPhone 4 already because of the issue.

  • My daughter will be leaving for college. Can she access our account on her computer and sync her ipod to that computer?

    My daughter will be leaving for college. Can she access our account on her computer and sync her ipod to that computer?

    She cannot sync to that computer unless she has access to it, or is on the same wifi subnet as it is.
    I think you mean can she access your iTunes account from another computer?  As long as she has your AppleID and password, she can access your accounts in iTunes so you can continue to share purchased products.
    I imagine she will want her own iCloud accounts and iMessage accounts, so you and she are not sharing the same emails, contacts, messages and so forth.  To do that, just have her create her own AppleID to use when creating her iCloud account and her iMessage login account.  These services are completely separate from the iTunes or App store, so having different AppleIDs for purchased content and other services is fine on a device (lets your family share purchases, but keep everything else separate).
