Playing to DMP100 in Windows 7 - firewall setting issue?
Hi,
I set up my DMP100 today and installed the Cisco media client and media server on my Windows 7 box - I can play to the DMP 100 just fine using that approach. But I really want to use my Windows Media Player instead and use the "Play To" feature. However when I try to do that I get an error that the media server cannot be contacted. I messed around a long time and finally figured out that turning off my Windows Firewall makes this issue go away - the "Play To" in Windows Media Player works. However I don't want to leave my firewall turned off and I can't find anything that tells me what program/port/protocol I need to create a new firewall rule for so I can turn it back on. Does anyone have any ideas about what I should do hear? It looks like the DMP is trying to call the Windows Media Server and failing to punch through the firewall. At least that's my best guess.
Thanks,
Alex
Hi!
Try creating exceptions on the firewall for these three applications on your computer.
WHASetup.exe
AVMediaServer.exe
CiscoMediaPlayer.exe

How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?
How can I see shared pc with firewall set to allow only essential services?
So far if I set it as above then shared does not show up? I have to set the firewall to set access to specific applications and services to get access to my windows based hard drive.
Cheers
Mike ROk I solved it myself. Not an ideal solution as I have to connect it manually each time but it will do... Unless anyone has a way to have it auto connect when I start the mac.

Shared Discovery - Windows 7 Firewall & Defence block Airtunes in iTunes 10
Just sharing my discovery today
When I updated to iTunes 10 a few days ago on a few Windows 7 x64 machines, my airport express speakers and appletv no longer listed in the speaker dropdown in itunes 10
Switched Windows 7 Firewall & Defence off and Comodo Internet Security Firewall & Defence+ on instead (in training mode) and they instantly all came back
Hope this helps someone out thereThank you Steve for your comments
I have been participating in a bunch of threads on the same issue
You are pointing in the right direction, though I am behind a NAT'd modem router with its own defence, Windows ain't as simple as OS X! So I reluctantly use the security software to protect from my own mistakes with rogue sites or files
Here's yesterdays post elsewhere:

iTunes 10 (Windows 7 x64) seems to have problems with remote/multiple speakers over network with airtunes/airplay (Airport Expresses & AppleTV).
I know its not the hardware, as my MacBook Pro on the same network with iTunes 10 works properly with airtunes/airplay to my two airport express speakers and appletv speakers.
Have done many tests with multiple Windows 7 machines (ethernet connected) with firewall/defense security settings off and full itunes and bonjour passthrough (mDNSResponder.exe).
Also when I go into iTunes 10 preferences and switch off and on "Look for remote speakers" the speakers drop down completely disappears never to be seen again on two separate machines (at home network and work network).
Have had very nice Airtunes/play/port Express and Apple TV speaker experience for some time with these machines before iTunes 10 - Hence I have 2 expresses and an appletv at work and an express at home for remote speaker system and windows 7, with my Macbook pro floating between the two locations
I am stumped
It feels like iTunes gives up on looking for remote speakers and changes a windows registry entry for the service to be permanently off (hence the total disappearance of the drop down remote speaker selector)

Just got the functionality back by completely uninstalling Comodo Internet Security (Version 4.1.150349.920 and 5.0) and using Microsoft's own Security Essentials software for Windows 7 instead

Hi,
I'm trying to develop a test application for P2P communication via Cirrus and came up to following problem with my Windows 7 firewall:
How is my app designed to work: The application generates key (initConnection) on one side, then I manually copy the key to the other machine and connect again. Init send stream and receive stream on both of them should make the communication available. Whole code is attached below, it's just some sample code I downloaded somewhere for testing purposes.
#edit: you can check working copy of the application here: http://peskovi.cz/p2ptest/P2Pplugin.html
My setup: I've got two computers in my local network (connected through cable to same switch), Windows and Linux. However it seems I'm having the same trouble connecting to distant computers as swell.
My problem: It seems that Windows 7 is partially blocking my connection. The thing is, when I init the connection on Windows and then copy the generated code to Linux and connects there, connection's not working at all. However, when I do it the other way (init on Linux and copy generated code to Windows), everything works just fine. Also, when I turn off firewall on my Windows it works fine both ways too. I have several reasons to believe there might be something wrong with my app:
1) The sample app on Adobe Labs (http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cirrus/samples/) works just fine both ways.
2) RTMFP should be bidirectional protocol right? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, why would I be able to connect to existing connection, but I wouldn't be able to start a new connection? That should pretty much use the same resources (ports), shouldn't it?
3) If this is just a common thing with Windows 7, it would mean Cirrus is pretty much unusable for me, but I haven't seen any posts about this anywhere, which is suspicious.
I'm new to AS/Cirrus/flash so there might be something really noobie I'm missing, so I'd be very glad if there would be someone wiling to help me with any hints why is it not working, what should I do, or just explain to me that I have to deal with the fact that it simply cannot be done and (mainly) why.
Thank you very much,
Jan

Windows 7 firewall blocking airplay after allowing
Hi guys and gals,
Windows 7 firewall is blocking airplay from my PC (iTunes) to my Apple TV and also stopping me using my iPhone (remote) to control iTunes.
If I turn the firewall off all is well with the world but once I reinstate it everything stops working again.
I've set up incoming and outgoing rules for iTunes and ports TCP 3689 and UDP 5353 as per guides on these forums, i've also selected iTunes in the 'allow a program...' list.
Everything is running the latest version, I've reset and updated Apple TV and re installed iTunes.
Help me please as its driving me mad!Hmm, not sure I completely understand now. What exactly simultaneously should mean in this context? The thing is that it seems there's no chance in getting the connection to work when I first turn on the client on my Windows computer. The other way (starting on my Linux computer) it works just fine, and I am able to connect from my Windows to my Linux anytime.

How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at "Medium" level, not "Low?"
How to get online apps to work with the Verizon DSL modem firewall set at “Medium” level? Xbox 360 Live, FTP, and the Windows sntp Time checker native to Windows XP WON’T WORK unless the Verizon firewall is first reset down to “Low.” Then all works well, but I then risk low firewall protection. Setup: · Westell 6100 DSL modem (Software Version: VER:4.04.03.00 Transceiver Revision: 7.2.3.0 Model Name: C90-610015-06), · D-Link DIR-655 wireless router (Hardware Version: A3, Firmware Version: 1.21), For Xbox 360 Live the “canned” port forwarding rule for provided in Verizon’s drop-down list for the Westell 6100 modem forwards ports 88 and 3074 for both TCP and UDP. This does not meet Microsoft’s forwarding recommendations for Xbox 360 Live stated at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/908874. Instead, for the Verizon modem (Westell) I made a new port forwarding rule to comply with those Microsoft instructions. It forwards ports 53, 80 and 3074 for TCP and ports 53, 88 and 3074 for UDP. These same ports are also forwarded in the D-Link router configuration. For FTP, port 21 is also forwarded for TCP and UDP in both modem and router. But they don’t work until I first cripple the Verizon firewall down to “Low.” How to get them to work with the Verizon firewall up to Medium?
While I do not know the answer to your question, BUT since you have this modem and another router - you could just follow.

Cannot Start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook Window. The set fo folders cannot be opened. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)
OK. This is a new outlook setup on a laptop. The mail account is on a MS Exchange Server 2010. The user can log on to their laptop no problem with their AD login and password. To setup the outlook profile we have checked the name OK. When we click finish
and try to start outlook we get the above error message. It is driving me pots as I have tried also of things. I have tried to connect without catching the files. The error message then says that the Exchange Server is down, yet we checked the name OK and
I can log on to the MS Exchange server and see the setup.
What else is it that I need to look at as I have tried everything. I will add that they one service I see not running is the Exchange RPC service. If I try to start it, it fails saying Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services
or programs.
What can I do?The major cause of this problem is a corrupted Navigation Pane settings file – profilename.xml, where “profilename” is the name of your Outlook profile. A good sign that the
file is corrupted is when the size of the file is shown 0 KB. No one knows the precise reason why this takes place, but all versions of Outlook from 2003 to 2013 may get affected.
Other causes may be when you run Outlook in the compatibility mode, or if you are using a profile generated in an older Outlook version, or if the Outlook data file (.pst or .ost)
was removed or damaged as the result of faulty uninstallation or reinstallation of MS Outlook.
Follow the steps given below to resolve this problem
1. Recover Navigation Pane configuration file
2. Repair your Outlook PST file using Inbox Repair tool
3. Create a new Outlook profil and import data from the old PST file
4. Turn off Compatibility Mode
5. Start Outlook in Safe Mode

I have a client that uses Windows that has recently told me she can no longer open the PDFs I send her. I can't find this elusive "Always Send Windows-Friendly Attachments" setting that I have read may solve my problem. Can someone get me there?
Dear Dan,
It was from InDesign that I was creating the shared pdfs. I was one of two Mac drivers in a corporate sea of Win users and had to make the change I mentioned in order for the Win users to see my pdfs for review. The difference from what you appear to be doing was that were all on an MS Exchange Server so the files were shared over the company's Exchange Server e-mail system. However, some of these files occasionally went to outside users via regular e-mail and those people had no issues either.
So what I did was tested and worked for years.
You might look at the Adobe forums or Knowledge Base to see if that is a reported issue with newer version of CS. I was on CS2 when I was doing this, and the other Mac driver was on CS3 but had no problems either.
Some Win users I've talked to find a problem opening some pdfs (not mine) in general and found they had to open Reader first and them open the file from Reader's File menu. That most often happened if the client was using an outdated version of Reader. -

Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows
I've got a Mac Pro Dual Quad Core won't boot OS/X, but plays fine with Linux/Windows. I've tried all of the following initial tests as suggested on forums:
-Ram swaps
-Alternating video card in PCIe slots
-Trying alternate video card
-resetting pram and smc
-Multiple tests with memtest86+ over 26hrs and no failed ram
-Multiple tests (8-12 cycles) with apple HW diagnostics and no problems
-Firmware is approved firmware for early 2008 model...no new updates.
Gentoo livecd works fine and I even installed to hard drive and it boots fine with it. In addition to above tests I also ran a linux stress test putting all 8 cores at a load of 22 for 2.5hrs with no problems.
Memtest86+ for 24hrs+ yields no problems.
Where problems occur:
Booting off hard drive, DVD or firewire yields an immediate curtain of death and booting off a new snow leopard DVD dies about 25% into the install.
Looking at error log and a quick dmesg shows "Package 0 didn't get an HPET" and complains about AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext. Google turns up illegal uses of this, so doesn't apply to my use case.
I'm a bit stumped since all was working well until one day it was non-stop curtains of death and can't get them to go away.
A logic board replacement at $1100 is not a feasible option for something that works on linux and windows, but not OS/X, is a bit disappointing and somewhat surprising.
Thanks for your help and advice.
Regards,
MarcosSomeone here once thought they knew EFI and Open Firmware a little, and used some commands from OF library that an Intel EFI Apple system didn't like. New logicboard.
Of course to run or boot OS X and see video you need EFI based card. The presence of some PC cards can block OS X from booting.
The fact you get part way through SL DVD, pull all the drives, put in a new drive and format it from SL DVD.
Most of the things you tried are what are more common with PC hardware. Including where people have tried and failed to install OS X on unsupported hardware.
I suppose it is possible something tried and failed to modify the Mac's firmware.
If you have Windows running, and you have WD drives, WD just posted new Lifeguard utility which is what I use to do a good job of stripping a drive down and recertify it for reuse, works wonders. Maybe same for other makes with vendor utility. -
Images appear fine in Photoshop cs6 and cc, but print too dark, and also show too dark in Windows picture viewer. How can I correct this? Is this a Photoshop setting issue or what?
Ok, look at your files in Photoshop. What is the profile assigned to them? You can find this out by going to the Status bar at the bottom, clicking on the right-pointing triangle and choosing document Profile from the list.
Then in Windows, go to your Control Panel > Color Management and add sRGB (if it isn't there) and select it as your default profile.
I hope that will work. -
Windows 7 can´t find the driver for HP Officejet 5510. (Windows Update is set to automatic.)
Hello everyone, I just installed Windows 7 - 64 bit. Supposedly the driver for the HP Officejet 5510 will install automatically in Windows 7 when connected via a USB, which is not happening.
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01796879&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4063&product=311...
I am getting the message that Windows 7 can't find the driver. I don´t understand why?
My Windows Update is set to automatic.
I see the device under printers. But when I click on it it says driver missing.
Is there any solution? Possibility to get the driver some other way? Unfortunately HP doesn't provide a download on their website.
Can anyone help me, pleease?
HonzaI have the same problem. I spent all this money to get more features, not less so Windows 7 should run all of my XP stuff. Now I see that my HP Officejet 5510 all-in-one won't scan and I can't save in pdf format. C'mon HP....give us a driver! If I wind up having to buy another printer, I swear it won't be an HP if I get abandoned on this one. And I'll also switch vendors for all of the printers I'm responsible for replacing at work too.
