Out-of-control consumer Internet traffic by apple tv

Out-of-control consumer Internet traffic by apple tv
Greetings
I recently bought an Apple TV, but since then I is the intensity of Internet traffic. Kindly advise me please, why does this happen? Secondly, what is the solution? I only use this machine for Airplay, and I do not want to use the Internet.

What are you talking about?
Please clearly explain what the issue is.

Understanding 5505 firewall-site to site and internet traffic

Hi,
My question is mutli-faceted. I apologize for the lengthy intro here but i think the info is necessary to understand where I am headed in this.
I am new to the cisco 5505. I have had very limited exposure to a 5510 that was preset. I have managed to make modifications to it here and there, but dont completely understand how it was put together. I learn by watching, listening, and gleaning what I can from others. I have had no formal training in CLI, but I have learned some of the commands. I know enough to be dangerous, but I respect my limitations.
That being said, I have been charged with setting up a 5505 at a remote site. I need to accomplish several things. Our ultimate goal is to use this device as a site to site with the 5510 at the corporate office. However, I need to accomplish this in baby steps, test, test real users and then maybe convert in full. Where I could outsource this in its entirety, that would preclude me from learning so I can address this in the future on my own.
We need to have this in place by the end of February 2013.
Currently the remote site is connected via a very slow (by todays standards) T1 line on a MPLS. Stable. Works, but slow. All internet traffic as well as work traffic is routed through that connection. We have added a 50mb cable connection (with static ips) to the office. First we want to set up the 5505 so that it can be used as follows:
1, Internet traffic can be routed out through this device and all other "work" traffic routed through the MPLS.
2, Test using this connection as a route out to the internet AND use it as a site to site VPN connection to the home office. (or anyconnect vpn)
          I need to be able to have users in both environments. IE, some still using step 1 and some starting to use and test step 2.
3, long term, use this as the main connection per number 2, but add the IP address so that if the cable connection drops, the office can access internet via the VoIP T1 line as a life line.
In all cases, I dont want internet going through the home office as it currently is traveling.
I have done a lot of searching but so far have come up empty with answers.
Question 1:     (This one probalby shows my ignorance the worst) - in using the 5505 firewall, will it segregate normal internet traffic from the VPN traffic when used by the workstation? Using the Gui, I didnt see where this was necessarily happening. Do I need to use CLI language (and what) to make this happen? Or is that a basic function that happens during the setup of the firewall using the GUI. Do I need to do some sort of "split tunneling"?
Question 2:     Do I use this device as the Default gateway for both step 1 and 2/3) for normal use and then change the gateway on the Pcs to the VoIP network during emergency use,(that would bypass the firewall though or is there a way to have it route to that router if there is no connection through the Outside port? Or as long as I have some access to the device, can I make a change remotely to help accomplish this failsafe?
Question 3:     We have 25 Anyconnect VPN licenses. Should we use these and not the Static site to site, if so, why or why not? They dont need to be used at all.
Question 4:     In setting up the VoIP line for backup, would using that on the "DMZ" connection help in making this viable so that the device could still ultimately control the internet traffic?
Question 5:     In setting up the VPN connections, unless i am getting the two methods confused, I will need the 5505 to hand out IP addresses for the vpn connection. I see in using a class c schema that i can use 92.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0. So for instance, I could use 101.1.20.0 for the inside network Vpn addresses?? I need to stay away from 192.168.0.0 networks as we use that in our normal structure.
Reasons for setting this up:
Slow speeds over the T1.
increasing demand for Skype, Video conferencing etc that the T1 pipe couldnt adequately handle
Lack of backup pathways for downed connections - ie, backhoe chopping through wire at a construction site).
I read through the Getting started guides on both the 5510 and the 5505 and feel I can likely get the site to site setup (I have a list of all the Ip addresses i need for inside networks and outside networks etc.
additional notes:
I have to email ATT anytime I want a change made on the MPLS router, so doing as little to that as possible would be good.
I will be onsite for testing at the end of February and will have direct access to the home office via other methods to work on the asa5510 if any additional work needs to be done on it once i am onsite.
Thanks for taking the time to read through all of this. please forgive my lack of knowledge...
Dave

Thanks for getting back to me and so quickly!
1) I am not sure if I understand the “ACL” portion of your question, but this is how I want to access info via the VPN tunnel:
192.168.D.0 inside(NJ) to outside 5505 - 12.175.X.X to outside 5510 - 12.200.X.X to inside network (HQ)192.168.X.0. Routes are needed to find subnets 192.168.A.0, 192.168.B.0 and 192.168.C.0. The default gateway to those subnets right now is: 192.168.X.XX4 inside of HQ. This would be so that the NJ office could find resources of the other offices if needed. This will change as we wean off the MPLS. Inside the ASA 5505, the IP addresses are 192.168.D.0 for data, 10.X.X.0 for the Phone system. All other traffic would be sent out through the internet. Phone system uses the XOcomm conection to route phone traffic.
2) I did some reading on SLA. Thanks for pointing that out. For purposes of learning here, I am showing this as 12.175.XXX.XXX for Comcast and 12.200.XXX.XXX for XO comm.
4) I guess I would use an Outside 2 as that makes sense, in description, I would label them “ComCast” for outside 1 and “XOcomm” for outside 2.
5) I am still not sure I understand this part. Are additional IP addresses needed for the Site to site VPN to talk to the local hosts, or will it use the IP addresses assigned by the local server?
Next Steps
1-         Configure the ASA5510 for the 5505 connection
2-         Configure the ASA5505 for the 5510 connection
3-         Configure SLA for Comcast and XOcomm outside connections
4-         For this I need help….I think this is from step 1, but I need help to configure the internet to be segregated via my question from #1. Have I given enough information to do so? Please advise on ACL entries, and route statements needed so that NJ can talk to all the offices when using this connection, not just the Headquarters.
Thanks

It may well be a driver issue but considering the loading: Xorg trying to load different drivers is somewhat normal. @cafe you can see that these are autoconfigured by X above the loading in the log:
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 1
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 2
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 3
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
As long as one of the drivers gets loaded, which it apparently does the failing of the others is fine.
Was there an update maybe ?

VPN 3005 - Reroute Internet traffic out local connection

We have a VPN 3005 concentrator that connects to our backbone switch. We have about 6 sites who have the following subnet:
site A: 172.16.x.x
site B: 172.17.x.x (etc)
When a user is at home, hotel, or directly connected to the Internet and they connect with the VPN client to our network we want all Internet traffic (cnn, google, etc) to route through their local connection and not through our network through our internal Internet connection. How can I setup the VPN Concentrator to allow all internal traffic and reroute all other traffic out their local Internet connection?

split tunneling needs to be configured on the concentrator.
firstly, create a network list.
go configuration>policy management>traffic management>network lists. then put the private lan ip behind concentrator on to the list.
go configuration>user management>groups>client config
you will see "split tunneling policy" and "split tunneling network list"
with option "split tunneling policy", choose "only tunnel networks on the list". with option "split tunneling network list", choose the network list you just created.

Safari out of control in yosemite

Ever since updating imac, the Safari browser is out of control. The advertisements are overwhelming and a new tab constantly opens for mackeeper or other ads. I am also getting a series of adobe flash player errors saying to change settings to 32-bit mode. Not sure what to do.

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You may have installed the "Downlite" or "VSearch" ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it.
Back up all data before making any changes.
Besides the files listed in the support article, you may also need to remove this item in the same way:
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, then you may have one of the other kinds of adware covered by the support article. Follow the rest of the instructions in the article.
The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
This malware is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates
if it's not already checked.

Controlling TV Speakers Indirectly with Apple Remote via System Volume

My Mac Mini is connected to a Sony TV via an HDMI cable. I would like to control the volume of the TV speakers indirectly by controlling the Mac Mini system volume with my Apple remote. But when I attempt to change the volume the speaker icon appears and is grayed out.
What do I need to do in order to control the TV speakers indirectly with my Apple Remote by adjusting the Mac Mini system volume?

As standard Macs do not support controlling the volume of an attached TV connected to the HDMI port. This feature is called CEC (Consumer Electronics Control).
There is at least one adaptor which can 'insert' the CEC commands, see http://www.pulse-eight.com/store/products/104-usb-hdmi-cec-adapter.aspx
This adaptor however requires the software you are using to have support for driving this adaptor, therefore it does not look like the generic Mac volume control in association with the Apple remote would control it. Why you ask did I mentioned it then? Well XBMC (XBox Media Center) for the Mac does supprt this adaptor, you can therefore use XBMC on the Mac to play movies to your TV and control the volume of the TV.
If you can write software, you could also in theory use their library to add a more generic volume control.

Yosemite memory out of control?

Upgraded to Yosemite on MacBook Pro -- memory of kernel_task runs out of control (>6GB) in approx 48 hours after using -- initially did a clean install of Yosemite, and only loaded apps that are needed.
Etrecheck reports the following with many process having to be killed due to me pressure.
Any ideas what is triggering the men usage and eventual swap to death of the Retina?
kernel_task is at 6.8GB RAM although etrecheck doesn't report it, 1.1 GB of swap according to iStat in addition
Huge number of Page Outs -- faulty memory chips perhaps?

One of the above kernel extensions is running wild. All of these, when loaded are part of kernel_task.
With 16GB or RAM, your kernel_task should be hovering around 1GB (plus or minus). My 16GB Macbook Pro has a 1.25GB kernel_task.
You can experiment by booting into Safe Mode, which will not load any of the 3rd party additions, and you can see if your kernel_task remains stable

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv. I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
I've been unable to locate an app that will do this. The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls. PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews. I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV. I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
Am I out of luck?

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

How can I route internet traffic over IPSec point to point?

I have a remote site that connects by IPSEC with the end points on a router and ASA. The connection is working fine and the remote site can access my other networks at the main headquarters. The problem is, currently this remote site is accessing the internet via the same link that is supposed to VPN everything back to headquarters. I need to figure out how to VPN their internet traffic to my main headquarters. There's an IPrism behind the firewall to filter web access so it seems like I need to point the remote sites default gateway to my routing device that's behind my Iprism?
Also, currently the outside interface on the remote site's router does not have an ACL applied, can someone suggest what that ACl should look like? Thank you for your help! Here is a sample configuration of the remote site's router:
crypto isakmp policy 20
(encryption parameters here)
crypto isakmp key password address x.x.x.x (Public ASA IP) no-xauth
crypto ipsec transform-set remotesite (encryption parameters here)
crypto ipsec df-bit clear
crypto map Mainsite 1 ipsec-isakmp
set peer x.x.x.x (Public ASA IP)
set transform-set remotesite
match address 100
interface FastEthernet0/0
description $ETH-LAN$
ip address 10.1.1.1 255.255.0.0
ip nbar protocol-discovery
interface FastEthernet0/1
description ISP Interface
ip address x.x.x.x (public IP) 255.255.255.0
crypto map Mainsite
crypto ipsec df-bit clear
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x (ISP's default gateway)
access-list 100 remark Access list Mainsite Access
access-list 100 permit ip 10.1.0.0 0.0.255.255 10.3.0.0 0.0.255.255
and other various headquarter networks...

Hi Mark, you can modify your crypto acl to permit any any on your remote site which will make all traffic goes through the tunnel. Then on ASA you need to do hairpinning on the outside interface. This will make users on remote site to access internet via HQ. But if you do it this way the internet traffic goes straight to internet without having them filtered by your iPrism.
What I am not sure about is if there is a way to do it if you want those traffics to be filtered by the iPrism before going out to internet.

Its preventing me from re installing the new itunes.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Apple Software Update entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple Website:

Does it go through properly this time?

Mountain Lion Server VPN unable to route internet traffic

Hi! I have set up a VPN server on my home network specifically so that I could connect via a VPN client remotely and tunnel all internet traffic through my home network (It is a long story but I need to be able to access services that are specific to my home IP . . . ) I have been tearing my hair out trying to get it work but can not. The VPN connection happens OK and I can set up the remote client to send all traffic via VPN but any internet traffic just times out . . . In other words I can not get the server to share my home network via the VPN connection.

Hi and thanks for taking the time to answer.
As I am sure you have guessed I don't have much experience or knowledge with this. So I will try to clarify what I am trying to do.
I do not need a VPN server for the conventional reasons of being able to access a private network (i.e my home network) remotely, although this is a nice additional benefit. I need the VPN server so that I can log in remotely (when I am using my mobile broadband or when I am overseas for example) and make it look like the machine I am using is on my home network.
The reason for this is that I have access to web services that are IP specific. That is I can ONLY log in if I am logging in from my registered home IP (which is static for this exact reason).
I have been told on similar support sites that if I route ALL traffic through the VPN, then when I use my browser on the remote machine all web traffic will go through the VPN as well and it will look like the traffic is coming from the subnet of my home IP.
I guess in other words I am trying to use my VPN as an "anonymous" proxy (anonymous in the sense that although the traffic is coming form somewhere else, it still looks like it is coming from my home IP).
I know this will cripple the speed due to the narrow upstream bandwidth but I am willing to pay this price.
Now as for your questions:
I have the server set up on a machine on my home subnet and I have enabled VPN port forwarding on the ADSL router.
I know the connection happens as when I connect the VPN either from my iPhone using 4G or my laptop using my mobile broadband I get the "connecting . . . authenticating . . . connected" messages and when I check in properties it shows it to be connected to my home IP as VPN server and has an IP address that looks like it is on my home subnet.
By internet traffic timing out I meant web traffic.
As I mentioned above, I need all web traffic to go through the VPN. So indeed not ALL traffic but definitely ALL web traffic. The only way I could find to do this is to enable the "Send all traffic" option.
Now I guess the obvious question is why am I not using a proxy. I have tried (and spent ages setting up Squid) but could never get it to "hide" the true origin of the traffic completely.
Now having written all this, I reinstalled mountain lion and server yesterday (out of sheer frustration rather than anything else) and it seems to work this morning. So if I log in via VPN on my mobile or laptop and use an IP checker on the web it comes up with my home IP : ))
The only thing I have now noticed is that if the VPN server stops working (which seems to be as soon as the computer I run it on goes to sleep) web traffic reverts to using the normal channels which is potentially problematic for me.
So my questions now are -
Any ideas what I was doing wrong in the first place?
Any suggestions on how I could set this up better?
Any way to set up the remote device so that it only allows web traffic via VPN (so that if the VPN connection drops, it is unable to use it's own internet connection for continuing web traffic)?
Thanks for any suggestions : )
Cheers

Internet Connection - Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP.

I just bought an Apple TimeCapsule and set it up normally, following instructions to my Arris cable network on the Videotron provider here in Quebec, Canada. The TimeCapsule did appear as a wireless device on my MacBook Pro (after updating the AirPort software from the provided CD - as was instructed). I went through the whole installation process to obtain at the end this error:
Internet Connection - Your Apple wireless device does not have a valid IP.
The only provided instructions were to check the cable and then contact your Internet provider. Well it seems clear to me that if I contact my provider and say that the internet connection works fine directly on my computer, also fine through my "normal" wireless router but not with my new TimeCapsule, I won't get much of a response.
After a lot of research, a friend indicated the solution in my case.
You have to really reset the cable modem to convince it to start giving out IPs again.
To do this:
1. Unplug your TimeCapsule (possibly you might have to reset to factory defaults - see the documentation)
2. Unplug your cable modem
3. Reset your cable modem by pressing the reset button with a pen (or something) for several seconds.
4. Plug your cable modem back in and let it reboot/restart - until the lights are back on.
5. Plug in your TimeCapsule
Everything should now work and you can restart your AirPort set-up on your Mac.
Good luck!

My ISP is AOL. The service is DSL via a broadband modem. Somewhere during the setup process there appears to be a communicatiosn issue between the Airport Extreme Base Station and the DSL modem. When I hook the DSL modem directly to my iMac I can connect to the internet without any issues.
I tried the factory reset and the DSL modem reboot process described in other posts and seemed very close to success...until the internet setup step. That is where this issue first presented itself.

While updating my iphone 4 to 5 I'm getting an error message 'connection is timed out. please check your internet settings' whereas my connection is very much active. Any suggestions!

Check to see if you anti-virus software running, that will at times interfere with the connection with the Apple server.

Safari Spinning Out of Control - Why Doesn't This Get Better?!!

For a very extended period, Safari has been spinnin out of control memory-wise - no other OS I use does this, not does any other browser I use on OSX. This goes on and on and on and on, with no real remidiation coming from Apple. It is maddening and ruiining the usability of using the MAC and OSX. It may be due to Flash, or Flash and Apple's refusal to properly work with Adobe - Flash is out there - it is on a huge number of websites and not just for entertainment - it cannot be avoided - also transactional sites such as StubHub use it. If I have ten or fifteen web pages open, Safari, between Safari Web Content, Safari and Flash, can take three or four gigabytes or even more, and Flash is the least of them. It does not happen with Firefox. With Safari spinning out of control, the entire device slows down. This has been going on for far far far too long. It happen on my MacBook and my iMac. When is this going to get resolved? I am starting to despise using the Mac and OSX.

IMac 20" G5 (gen1) with out of control fans

My iMac's fans are running at speeds that are driving me and my office mate completely out of our minds. Currently, terminal reports:
"location" = "System Fan" | | | | "target-value" = 1240 | | | | "location" = "CPU fan"
| | | | "target-value" = 4343
| | | "location" = "Hard Drive"
| | | "target-value" = 1800
| | | "location" = "sysclk slew"
| | | "target-value" = 1
The CPU is running at an average load of 26.1% and is at 144.3 degrees, with no out of control processes, and the hard drive is at 125.6 degrees. That's with only 5 applications running.
I'm running OS 10.4.3 and the iMac has 2 gigs of RAM. I've run the Apple Hardware Test disk, which reported no problems, and have run an overnight memory test, which also reported no problems and have reverted back to the Apple supplied memory with no positive effect.
I've also (several times):
reset the SMU (PMU for older Mac fans)
cleared the PRAM
run disk utility
repaired the permissions
done a clean software install
Nothing has worked. This is all on a computer whose firewire didn't work out of the box and which I repaired with a refurbed motherboard when it was less than a week old. Nothing like buying a new machine and getting a refurbished one to start you off on the right foot.
Now I'm trying to get this computer, which is under warranty, repaired but can't even find a number that I can call where I won't get charged! I live in Maine, so taking it to an Apple Store, or even a convenient service center is out of the question. Can someone advise?
This has been, without a doubt, my most disappointing Apple experience ever (and I owned a Mac Portable!)

Timothy,
I'm certainly open to another member's disagreement on this, but It appears to me that you have done everything necessary to disqualify software as the cause of your fan issue.
In that case, it's probably worth it to you to go ahead and give Apple your credit card to enable phone support for this issue, as it appears likely to be hardware related, which will cost you nothing (they should only charge you if it turns out to be a software issue.
Phone support will go down a list of things that you need to do to disqualify software, all of which, I believe, you've already tried. The only risk would be if phone support comes up with a software fix that no one on this board thinks to recommend to you. However, on the bright side, if no one on here can come up with another idea to try, and phone support has one that does work, it's going to be worth the cost, what is it - $75, I think?
I suppose your alternatives would be to:
1. buy some books or an AppleCare repair course and become an expert,
or
2. buy AppleCare and get free phone support back for both software and hardware for another two+ years, as well as valuable rights to in-home repairs.
If you have seen your iMac run well at times, and can see keeping it, AppleCare at $169 could be a bargain for what you might get out of it in phone support alone, not to mention another expensive part replacement a year from now. Furthermore, there are times it can be found at a lower price on eBay, usually a bit under $100 delivered. I have bought several, for this one I'm using, for a 17" that I sold, plus as a gift for a relative's iMac.
Best of luck.
