OSX Updates behind an "Astaro" Firewall

I work at a school that has just recently put in an astaro firewall. We need to findout what sites that Apple Software Updates us in order unblock them for our systems to bypass the firewall's virus scan utility. The firewall scans every packet that comes through and causes the updates to fail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

The easiest way to obtain software updates is to wait for them to appear on http://www.apple.com/swupdates/
I basically look for updates I need in Software Update, and then download them from the website once they become available there. They don't always happen simultaneously.

Setting up a VPN on OSX lion behind a openbsd firewall

Hello All,
I've been trying to get a VPN up and running on OSX Lion (10.7.4) behind an openbsd firewall.
I'm currently using L2TP only.
From what I've read I think I have the correct ports being forwarded:
udp 500,1701,4500
tcp 1723
From an IPhone I am able to connect and authenticate but traffic does not get routed through the VPN.
Is there anything obvious I'm missing?
Thanks in advance.

more information:
I was attempting to get an iphone set up to use this VPN. It was able to authenticate but it seems it would not route any traffic through the VPN.
I was just able to get my linux laptop configured to use the OSX VPN via openswan, which I think was slightly more difficult due to NAT on both ends.
Any tips for getting IOS working with this OSX VPN behind the firewall? Thanks.

Another port question - multiple Macs behind the same firewall

I've searched for this issue, but I can't seem to find a topic directly on point. I know how to forward the right points for this to work, but...
I'm coming from outside the network, and I need to control multiple machines that are behind the same firewall. I can't forward a port to more than one machine. How do I control all these machines?

To be able to connect to a workstation from outside it's network, the ports that ARD uses must be open on both ends of the connection. ARD uses ports 3293 and 5900 so those must be open.
If your workstations get their addresses from an NAT device rather than being "real", as seems to be the case from your description, the ports also need to be forwarded in the router to the workstation's internal IP address. ARD uses port 3283 for the reporting and updating function, so if your Macs are getting their IP addresses through NAT, since you can only forward a port to a single workstation, you can only get reports, push package/files to etc. for a single workstation.
ARD uses the VNC protocol for observation and control, though, and there are a range of IP addresses for that protocol, starting with 5900. ARD uses 5900 by default, so that port would be forwarded to the first workstation. You would, I believe, need to install VNC servers on the systems (since the ARD client cannot listen on any port other than 5900 while VNC servers can be set for other ports such as 5901, 5902, etc. You would then forward 5901 to the second workstation (and on to 5902, 5903, etc.). You can then use the following information:
Remote Desktop 2: How to specify a port number for a VNC client
to connect.
Hope this helps.

OSX Update Failed To Install. Now Mail and App Store won't open

I'm currently running Mountain Lion on my unibody Macbook Pro. Last night I got a notification that there was an update (10.8.3 I beleive), so I opened up the App store and proceeded with the install process. The update details mentioned that this update would require a restart of the computer--it seemed pretty typical. Unfortunatly the update did not go smoothly and the computer froze while the progress bar read "just a few more seconds." It hung there for an hour. I did a hard shut down of the computer and when I booted back into Mountain Lion I found that I could not open the Mail or App Store applications. So now I cannot restart the OSX update that failed in the first place.
It looks like I have the same problem as the people on this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4888648?tstart=0
Help me please.

Sometimes, the version you an get from the App Store fails during the installation, making some applications unusable. Just download and reinstall OS X 10.8.3 with the Combo installer to get the Mac working > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640

ITunes won't open after latest OSX update

AFter latest OSX update iTunes won't open. Reinstalled iTunes. Reinstalled OSX update. When I click on icon in applications or in finder nothing happens.

This is what worked for me and others--original post found on this thread: Yosemite slow opening and cannot open itunes
This solved my question by Linc Davis.......
According to multiple reports on this site, Apple Support has given the following instructions to others who had a similar problem. I can't confirm that this procedure works or that it's necessary, but it won't leave you any worse off than you are now.
First, back up all data.
Select the iTunes icon in the Applications folder and open the Info window. Click the padlock icon in the lower right corner to unlock the settings.
In the Sharing & Permissions section, change the Privilege setting for each Name in the list to Read & Write. Close the window. If the settings aren't visible, click the disclosure triangle on the left so that it points down.
You should now be able to drag the iTunes application to the Trash and empty. Your iTunes data won't be affected.
Click the iTunes link at the top of this page, download the installer package and run it.
If iTunes still doesn't launch, or if you can't complete the procedure, reinstall the OS.

OSX update 10.10.2 causes mouse to jump around and text to be highlighted randomly in Dreamweaver CC 2014

OSX update 10.10.2 causes mouse to jump around and text to be highlighted randomly in Dreamweaver CC. When trying to click on a specific line of code in a js file the cursor ends up in a different place in the script and several lines of code highlighted. Clicking again jumps the mouse to a different position and even more lines of code highlighted and some characters rearranged, breaking the lines of code. Very frustrating.

Preran,
I am having the same issue. I have a MBP connected to 2 x Dell 27" monitors over Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cables. Once I updated to OS X 10.10.2 this cursor highlight/jumping around issue only occurs on the connected monitors. If I move the program to the main laptop display the issue goes away. It does not require me to restart the program or the machine to make it work correctly. One way I am able to identify the issue is if I go to the line numbers in code like I wanted to select multiple lines - in the one that works correctly, the cursor turns into a white version where the tip of the cursor points to the right. When it is wrong, the cursor stays black and will only have the tip point to the left. Its just another way I identified if it was working cause I tried uninstalling DW and reinstalling - didn't work. Reset preferences as you discussed - no go. And I used other editors like IntelliJ and Adobe Edge Code - all of which work fine and don't display this issue.
I tried the preferences reset you suggest and it doesn't work. I have another machine with OS X 10.10.1 on it and this issue is not there on any monitor. Any help with this ASAP as it pretty much stops you from being able to do any editing especially with longer pages as it consistently wants to page up when you select anything and if you then click again in another area it tries to move the highlighted code to that new spot.
Update: I have a USB Microsoft Arch touch mouse connected (always worked just fine). When I go to place my cursor at some point in the code it causes the highlight flicker. If I switch over and use the built in trackpad, then I can place the cursor without the highlight issue. When trying to select multiple lines or sections of code, that still see's the highlight, page up and move of code issues regardless of input type.

Embed iCal into iWeb through HTML snippet after Lion OSX update

How do I embed my published iCal calendar into iWeb through an HTML snippet AFTER the Lion OSX update last month? I use iWeb to create my classroom website but it no longer has my interactive calendar for my students. Help!

I am curious about this too, does anyone know how to embed a Lion iCal Calendar into iWeb?
I found an old walkthrough of how to do it, but on the published site it just opens ical and offers a subscription, you cannot actually see the calendar on the web page it is embedded on.
Thanks!

Apple Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works after OSX update

After installing the latest OSX update yesterday (something about iChat encryption), Apple Bluetooth Keyboard no longer works with my iMac.
When I restarted the iMac after installation was completed, the iMac would no longer recognise my Bluetooth Apple wireless keyboard. I've tried with 2 other Apple wireless keyboards as well, but to no avail. None of them work with the iMac any longer. All 3 keyboards work with my PowerMac Quad G5 though.
The iMac "sees" the keyboards, but the pairing doesn't go through because the iMac doesn't seem to recognise the keystrokes when entering the pairing code.
I had to go out and buy myself a Microsoft wired keyboard to be able to restart the iMac (couldn't enter the login password without a keyboard).
My bluetooth mighty mouse works flawlessly though.
Very frustrating. Can anyone help?

OSX updates, but one of the updates (iPhoto 9.4.3) asks for Apple ID that no longer exist?

Like topic.
OSX announced that there was available software updates, I started App Store and selected "Update all". OSX carried out the OSX update aswell as a few other updates, but left the iPhoto update.
When I manually try to update iPhoto, App Store give me the message "There is updates available for other accounts. Log in with [email protected] if you wish to update the program" (translated from swedish, so it might not be a 100% accurate to the english text).
The Apple ID that's on display is a Apple ID that used to belong to one of my former employees. The Apple ID is no more, it's deleted and the mailadress (not a me.com adress) that is the actual Apple ID is also deleted and not existing.
Furthermore, the update has greyed out the Apple ID, it's not possible for me to choose another for this particular update which seems very weird, any ideas?
Oh, if it's to any assistance I'm on a 2012 MB Pro, 2,6 GHz Intel Core i7, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, OSX 10.8.3
Best Regards / E

Apple IDs can't be deleted. If an application's associated with an inaccessible Apple ID, it needs to be deleted and redownloaded from a different one.

The latest osx update has caused keychain errors on my macbook pro...what should I do?

I downloaded and installed the latest osx update last night (10.9.2) and now I'm getting login errors when trying to download emails and keychain errors when using Google Chrome or Safari. I have no idea how to solve the problems caused by this update. My macbook pro is older - 2008. Help, please? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

I should have clarified above....."keychain errors", not just login errors. Thanks again.

I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad?

I was 3-4 updates behind on ipad. Did back-up, installed update to ipad now how do I get my purchased apps back on my ipad? I assume they didn't back up to cloud since that came with this update. I can see all my purchased apps but no way to transfer them back to my ipad from whereever they are. Wish itunes was more user friendly. Help please.

If you are running iTunes 11 and if you didn't figure this out yet, when you launch iTunes - go to View>Show Sidebar from the menu at the top of the screen. Once you can see the sidebar, iTunes looks so much more familiar.
The "new look" iTunes doesn't appeal all that much to me, I just want the functionality that I have always had. It's still there, its just been hidden with a lot of fluff and visual wow that I really don't care about .... Just my opinion.

OSX update wont install

The new OSX update (10.6.6) would not finishing "writing" files even if i leave the MacBook Pro running for days.!!
what shall I do.?

Details in the following.
Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. That allows you to revert to the previous good state without having to reinstall or reset anything. See these for details:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106941
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/installswupdates.html
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/backuprecovery.html
If you only have a Time Machine backup, ensure that you can reliably restore it to another disk/volume/partition before updating/upgrading.

Scanner not saving or mailing correctly after recent OSX update

I have a photosmart D110a. Since my last Apple OSX update to 10.9.2, When I scan pics or documents, the scan shows up correctly on the screen, but when I save it or email it, it comes up a black screen. How do I fix this?

Welcome to the forums shoppingshauna
I understand you are having some scanning issues since upgrading to 10.9.2. There is actually no available HP scanning software for the Photosmart D110a on Mavericks. There are however, work around options for scanning.
I would like for you to click the link and then choose "How do I scan with the driver from Apple Software Update?" and from there you will see your 3 methods for options to scan.
