Ping but little else

I've got a network built around a Verizon-supplied Versalink 327W router at home. Two Linux boxes and my Lombard Powerbook (running) 10.3.9 can connect just fine, but I've got a weird problem with a 'new' 400mhz G3 iMac. It can ping my gateway and perform DNS lookups, but it can't ssh/ftp/http out. ie UDP works but TCP doesn't. It's got a valid and safe IP address. It's physically connected to the router over a known good cable and has been tested with a second one just in case. It's been plugged straight into the router and into an ethernet switch connected thereto.
I don't think there's a physical problem.
This machine did work on the network prior to running the updater, but magically stopped working shortly after.
Aside from the "page cannot be displayed" type errors that I get from TCP not working, the only error message I've gotten is a strange one. The Firewalls tab under System Preferences --> Sharing is all greyed out and says there's another firewall on my system that I have to disable, if I want to use the Apple firewall. However, dig as I might, I haven't been able to find any other firewall software.
Any ideas what could have caused this problem?

Hi MrZaius,
I think I can help you with the second part of your problem.
Your firewall settings are greyed out because something you have installed has altered the firewall rules. Such an application is not necessarily another firewall but could be some piece of software that tries to optimise network throughput. These are usually found in /Library/StartupItems or even in ~/Libray/StartupItems. If in doubt, check your system.log for processes running on boot by opening "Console" in the "Utilities" Folder.
Anyway, in order to gain access to your firewall settings via System Preferences you will have to reset the firewall rules to their default state. To do so, login to your administrator account, open "Terminal" and type:
sudo ipfw flush
You will be asked first for your password and then whether you want to proceed (just answer yes by typing y).

My apple tv stopped working. When I hit a button on the remote I see the signal gets to the Apple TV because the little light flicks but nothing else happens. Anyone know how to fix this??

My Apple TV suddenly stopped working. When I hit a button on the remote the light on the apple tv flickers but nothing else happens. Anyone know how I can fix this?

I had the same problem; Apple TV was working proper then for no reason I got the continuous blinking front LED. The Apple TV has no sound or video output at all. I tried reseting the Apple TV via my Apple remote controller but that didn't do anything for me. I finally called Apple and they told me that the way to fix my box is to reset the Apple TV to factory default. So I had to attach the Apple TV to one of my Apple computers and launch iTunes. Once iTunes was running it recognized my Apple TV and I clicked on the option to restore to factory default. After the restore my Apple TV now works properly. My final action on the Apple TV was to sign into my account and enter my password.

Ping but no client response

I am using ARD 3.3 to manage the Macs in my building. I am having troubles with 11 out of 21 of the MacBook 4,1 model computers that are not showing up on the Scanner / All Computers list with ARD. Those not on the list show up as black icons with IP Addresses signifying that they can be pinged but have no client response from those computers. They are running Client Software v. 3.3.1 and access the network wirelessly, same as the Admin Comp.
I have opened the Sharing system pref and turned ARD on/off, modified the access privileges and restarted all machines to no avail. What else can I try to get these computers to be managed via ARD?

They are running Client Software v. 3.3.1 and access the network wirelessly
Are the appropriate ports open and forwarded in the wireless router to those workstations? You'll need to do some special setup to be able to manage multiple systems behind an NAT (see "Setting Up the Network" in the Remote Desktop Help).

I cannot open itunes on my mac. The Icon jumps, but nothing else happens.

I may have shut my computer off while a new version of Itunes was downloading. Not sure if this would affect it, but I can't open it now. When I click on the icon, it jumps a little, but nothing else happens! Any ideas?? Help! I can still open it on my iphone.

Boot from your Snow Leopard install DVD, run Disk Utility and run Disk First Aid.
Reboot.
Then Apple menu > Software Update.
Then reinstall iTunes.

The defaut correction tool doesn't work on my LR5 on my mac. I clic , the second circle appear but nothing else happens

Hi
i have a Mac book little bit old .and I use LR5
when i want to use the defat correction tool , i open the tool , i choose "correction" and then i clic on the defaut
a second circle appears but nothing else happens . No correction
do i miss something???
Thanx

It's sounds like you're using the Spot Removal tool. What happens depends on the Feather and Opacity controls. If the Opacity is at 0, you won't see any change. 100 will give the full healing or cloning, while feather controls the size of the edge of the healing.

I am trying to install my CS4 Suite onto new PC with Windows 8. It installed Photoshop but nothing else. It is asking me to "Install with 'setup.exe'" Which i dont think is on there. Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance.

Run the cleaner tool and reinstall with sufficient user privileges and security stuff turned off. Your install went wrong because you didn't consider this.

My first gen 3g iphone photos are not recognised by camera wizard - it sees the phone but nothing else no files - it is not locked - ?

I have a new 4g Iphone - Telstra (Australia) disabled my old 3g and enabled the 4g so the 3g is just enabled to show contacts and photos etc.
I want to download my photos and contacts from the 3g. trouble is that my internet is dial up only at home and impossible to use as too slow.
So my itunes is now out of date (not current module 10.5 + etc.) and the 3g phone is also not operating on the latest ios.
BUT the itunes does sync the phone - but it seems to only sync from computer to phone - so my camera roll on the 3g is not on my computer - therein lies the dilemma - I don't know how to download the photos. I cannot update the ios on the 3g and it seems that might be reqired to "back up"
So first question is how do I back up (not sync) my 3g to itunes.
Do I need to updates its ios first and update iteuns first (in which case thats impossible)
So what else could I do.
It seems the other thing is that even if I could back up the 3g the Itunes won't recognise the 4g as the 4g is ios 4 or something and the itunes is not up to date.
SO I thought I should just use camera wizard or a photo package like iphoto or kodak easy share.
But with camera wizard my computer recognises the 3g phone BUT nothing else. It is greyed out for options, and ini Windoes Explorer it shows it as a camera but when you right click it has no "properties" - and no files show up at all...
it is like it seems the camera and then nothing else.
THE CAMERA is not locked.
WHAT shoudl I do?

also - when I use camera wizard it just tells me the phone is busy or in use and I should retry.
If I use it through windoes explorer - it shows me the camera to computer symbols and a line moving between then but bombs out saying camera is busy.

My husband and I share one computer. We want to be able to share the same music on our iPhones, but we don't want to share the same contacts and applications. How can I set this up so we still share music, but everything else is separate on our iPhones?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes and iCloud are different accounts. You can both use the same ID for the store login and share your music etc., and use different ID's to log in to iCloud, thereby keeping your calendars etc separate.

ACE 4710: Possible to allow a user to clear counters but nothing else?

Hello all,
Using an ACE 4710 we have a user setup with the Network-Monitor role which allows the user to view config, interface status, etc. We would also like to allow this user to clear the interface error counters as well, but nothing else. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Hello Brandon-
Network-Monitor only lets you browse outputs, it is a not a role that allows a user to make any changes including clearing stats. You can create custom roles and domains to get closer to what you want, but you cannot zero in on a single command like that.
i.e.
ACE# conif t
ACE(config)# role MyRole
ACE(config-role)# rule 1 permit modify feature ?
AAA             AAA related commands
access-list     ACL related commands
connection      TCP/UDP related commands
fault-tolerant Fault tolerance related commands
inspect         Appln inspection related commands
interface       Interface related commands
loadbalance     Loadbalancing policy and class commands
pki             PKI related commands
probe           Health probe related commands
rserver         Real server related commands
serverfarm      Serverfarm related commands
ssl             SSL related commands
sticky          Sticky related commands
vip             Virtual server related commands
You can create a permit or deny rule, within that, create/debug/modify/monitor each feature seperately.
Domains allow you to create containers for objects. You can place specific rservers, serverfarms, etc. into it - then apply it to a role so that the user assigned to it can only touch those objects.

I can print a test page from my Mac to my HP Officejet Pro 8600 but nothing else will print

Hi - I just recently had a hard drive crash and had to revert to an old Time Machine backup on my new hard drive to get my Mac back. Since getting back up and running I have been unable to get my Officejet Pro 8600 back online. My computer is wired to the wireless router but the printer is running wireless. My computer can see the printer just fine and I can even print a "Print Quality Diagnostic" report from my Mac to the printer from the HP utility. But nothing else will print. The firmware is up to date. I have tried resetting the printing system multiple times, rebooting the machine, etc... Nothing works. Any help would be appreciated.
If it helps, we were using a different printer the last time the time machine was backed up, so when we used that backup the old printer was showing, but I reset the printing system, so it shouldn't matter.
Thanks for your help!

Hello @Ryan221,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see your hard drive recently crashed and now you are not longer able to print to your HP Officejet Pro 8600. I see you have reset the printing system with no success. Let's try a different approach:
Scrub/ Uninstall
• Open the Applications folder > HP or Hewlett Packard folder > HP Uninstaller
• Click continue, click on one of the printers in the list.
• * Only do this step if you do not have any other HP Printers. Hold down Control, Option and Command, While holding the three buttons down,
• Click uninstall.
Reset Printing System
1. Click the Apple icon ( ), and then click System Preferences.
2. In the Hardware section, click Print & Fax/Scan. The Print & Fax/Scan dialog box opens.
3. Right-click (or Ctrl +click) in the left panel, and then click Reset printing system…
4. Click OK to confirm the reset.
5. Type the correct Name and Password.
6. Click OK to reset the printing system. The Print & Fax dialog box shows no printer selected
Note: This will remove all printers in the print and Fax/Scan, any printer removed can be re-added later by clicking the plus (+) symbol..
Repair Disk Permissions
1.On the Dock, click Applications, and then click Utilities.
2.Double-click Disk Utility.
3.Highlight your hard drive/partition on the left (by default this is "Macintosh HD").
4.Click the Repair Disk Permissions button at the bottom of the window.
5.Once the repair is complete, restart the computer.
Restart the printer. Now you can download and install the printer software and install it. Click on the link below to begin the download and follow the on screen instructions:
HP Officejet Pro Full Feature Software and Driver - Mac OS X 10.6, OS X 10.7, OS X 10.8
I hope this helps, please let me know the outcome!

I enabled the backup, but when i went to use the backup, the phone recovered everything except the music.

Of course your music was lost - unless you uncheck sync music, you're syncing with another music library. You'll have to sync your phone with the other/original computer to the music back.
