This forum and firewall.

Why do i have to turn off my firewall and advanced settings to use this forum???
If they are on i cannot post replys or start a thread.
Thank you

It's probably not the firewall but the use of Stealth mode in the Advanced Options for the firewall. Try turning off Stealth mode.
Apple probably requires some information from your system in order to post, such as the incoming IP address. Some IP addresses are blocked, i.e. those from users who have been banned from the Discussions for repeated violations of the Terms of Use. The Discussions also save your Apple ID and password in encrypted cookies to make it easier to log in once you've created an account. Stealth Mode should prevent those cookies from being examined, so the Discussions system doesn't know you have an account, and hence you cannot post.
In the future, please post questions about using the Discussions to the Discussions Feedback Discussion.
Good luck!

  • From reading this forum and my own it experance the HP "eprint" email server is flawed!

    Having read on this forum and from my own experience only a limited number of email providers email addreses will be accepted by the eprint email address it certainly does not accept emails from hotmail.com and hotmail.co.uk they bounce almost before they are sent!!!
    So own up HP I bought in to your sales BS  and there certainly wasn't any caveats saying that you eprint system does it did not work with certain email providers.
    I note that someone calling himself an interested employee of HP  has been suggesting that its the providers fault, well I have been using hotmail for donkeys years and the only time my emails have bounced is when I have incorrectly entered the wrong send address configuration or the attachments were too large!
    I am getting on, but for the life of me I cannot found any eprint support contact email address on their web page, is there one? or is HP hoping that their customers will sort out their problems for them?
    For the record I can see my printer on line via the eprint web site and all the reports are correct so its not a fault at my end .
    So HP if you actually monitor this forum get your act together and give us what your sales blurb said it would!

    For those who are experiencing ongoing issues with their web services, you can attempt to try the following steps that may
    help resolve your problems.
    1.) Completely shut down your printer and restart it
    2.) If you have prints that have not printed, log into ePrint Center (or create an account if you do not have one) and
    then look for your printer status. If printer status is green but you still have pending jobs, delete the pending jobs one at
    a time (Starting with the oldest first). There may be a print job stuck in the queue that further restricts other jobs from
    completing.
    a. If option 1 or 2 above still doesn’t work, removing web services and re-adding web services will cause the printer to
    reattach to the cloud.
    b. Please note that if you attempt option 3, you will get a new eprint email address (and lose your custom one with no
    ability to get it back) furthermore, you will need to re-add your printer back to your ePC account.

  • Hello Everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm pretty igno...

    Hello Everyone, I'm new to this forum and I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to networking so please bear with me. I have a WRT54GS w/SpeedBooster. My family an I recently took a trip. We've been getting a lot of bad weather here in the Midwest so I chose to unplug everything when we left. I fired up my laptop tonight and it did not automatically connect to my network like it usually does so I refreshed the network list and mine will not show up. However, an unsecured network with a really good signal does show up (I'm not sure if it's mine or not). Anyway, this has never happened before so I don't know where to start. Any help would be greatly apprciated. Thanks. Jon

  • I need to de-authorize a previous install in order to reinstall CS5. i asked in this forum and the answer told me to come back to this forum and ask how? I am no further than I was before.

    I need to de-authorize a previous install in order to reinstall CS5. i asked in this forum and the answer told me to come back to this forum and ask how? I am no further than I was before.
    I was told to go to a website to download CS5 software but I already own the CS5 software. Then I was told to go to webchat to get "them" to deathorize the old install. But I was in webchat (as I am now) when I first asked this question. The answer seems circular and gets me no farther toward reinstalling my CS5.

    This is not web chat.  This is the forum, which is an extension of the Adobe Support system, but you need to talk to Adobe Support directly either by chat or by telephone and they can process the deactivation.
    There has been a problem lately with the links for getting into the web chat and for the phone support.  Try the following link and look down the page for a chat option.  If you don't see one, try using a different browser.
    Contact Customer Care
    If you still cannot see it then you might try the phone route, which would be unfindable as well if the chat is not appearing.  But the info for that is...

  • I am new to this forum and a little confused.

    Hello. I am new to this forum and a little confused already.
    I want to get a sound card that will support asio drivers and the SB Audigy 2 ZS is looking good. It supports asio drivers. My question is what is the difference from a recording point of view between the X-FI extreme and the SB Audigy 2ZS. As far as I can see,nothing. Also where do you draw the line between asio supported cards and non asio cards? The most important aspect of a recording card that works/plays well is the asio drivers. Everything else is obviously related to the more money you spend the higher the sampling rates and maybe even DSP effects.
    Anyway the rig I use is used for playing music, gaming and making home DVD.s. The sound quality of a recorded analogue video needs to well recorded and thats where the SB Audigy 2ZS or X-FI Extreme come in.
    Regards
    Peter.

    "Audigy 2 Zs" and "Audigy 4 Pro"
    - ASIO 2.0 drivers for low latency (as low as 2ms) multi-track playback and recording at 16-bit/48kHz or 24-bit/96kHz-.
    "X-Fi"'s
    - ASIO 2.0 support with direct monitoring at 16 and 24-bit at sample rates of 44.1/48/88.22 and 96kHz.
    So, if you record only DVD quality (24-bit/96 kHz) then there are not big differences.

  • First I tried to download Firefox 4 and was refused permission. Then I posted to this forum and received a confirmation link by e-mail, but the link failed.

    I downloaded Firefox 4, but when I tried to move it into the Applications folder, I was refused permission. I tried to post this problem to this forum and received a confirmation link by e-mail, but it failed: I got the message "Something is wrong."

    If you get an error message that you do not have sufficient permissions to update then easiest is to trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
    Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
    * Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded

  • Ok so I am having issues with charging my iPad as well. So I took advice from this forum and yes, if you turn the brightness down my iPad charges. Thanks Apple I just went and spent money on a new charger I didn't need. Really you need to fix this issue.

    Wow. Okay...
    I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
    My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

    To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
    4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.

  • Use Secure HTTPS throughout this Forum and the Meteor Website

    This is not a "Bright Idea", this is a security flaw with the setup of this forum. When registering to use this forum you are asked for these personal sensitive pieces of information: - Password- Email Address- Mobile Number- CUSTOMER SERVICE PIN!- Age Confirmation This forum does not use secure HTTPS TLS anywhere, so when you register with this form, and when you login you are sending this information is clear plain text over the Web. This is extremely insecure especially considering (A) It's a known fact most typical users will use the same account password on multiple sites, so one should assume a user registering for this forum will use the same password that they use for the main MyMeteor account. (B) The Customer Service PIN is one of the pieces of information used when interacting with Meteor either by phone, chat, email, forum or post as a way to verify a persons credentials and valid identity.  So given (A) & (B) if a users password and/or PIN are intercepted on an insecure internet connection, the person gaining access to these credentials could use it to impersonate the customer when communicating with Meteor. The implications are obvious. When an attacker wants to gain access to customer details they will look for the weekest access link. This forum is one of the weekest access links and if comporimised or if user details are intercepted it gives the attacker all the information they need. This forum may be powered by the Lithium service, but it is Meteor's Technical team's responsibilty to setup and secure this forum adequetly. At the moment they have not done this. They are leaving customers at risk of identity theft and are failing in their obligations under Data Protection laws. This needs to be addressed immediatly. On a wider issue it is now considered good practice for public serving websites to use TLS throughout their website and not just for registration and login pages. Contrary to misconception using TLS throughout your site will not greatly reduce the speed or performance of the site if the sys admins have used correct modern server configurations, optimisations and TLS implementation. The major browsers are now blocking out non-secure elements on secure web pages and even Google is going to start using TLS as a signal for traffic ranking. So websites using TLS throughout their site will potentially get better search rankings on Google than those without. I would ask the Meteor Sys admins to at the very least seurce this forum with TLS and then role out TLS across their entire meteor.ie web properties and follow best practise. 

    I have found that there is an SSL certificate installed on the server to cover the forums.meteor.ie domain, however it is not being enforced. Whilst not a perfect solution, for those using the EFF HTTPS Everywhere browser extension, I have written a ruleset that will force the browser to load https://forums.meteor.ie. I have submitted this ruleset to the EFF but you can also add the ruleset yourself with this following these directions, using this code: <ruleset name="Meteor.ie Community Forum">
    <target host="forums.meteor.ie"/>
    <rule from="^http://(www\.)?forums\.meteor\.ie/" to="https://forums.meteor.ie/"/>
    </ruleset> Still waiting on an official response from Meteor.

  • This forum and Safari please tell me what to do!

    I have to Camino just to use this forum, Safari will not work with it any more.
    Please do not move this topic to the safari room because its not safari. Safari is fine on just about every other web page I visit, except apples own!
    Problems:
    Viewing next page threads. Usually you can get the first page up but going to the next page no go.
    Getting to 'your posts' Usually won't load.
    Posting a reply. Easily the most frustrating problem. You can sometimes fly through the fourm to the reply, type your reply and nothing, it refuses to load, either safari bombs out saying it could not connect to server or a new pages loads on the web site saying there was an error. also if you click refresh or stop whilst trying to post the mssage the 'post' button is now disabled. The only way to do anything is to copy the text launch Camino and do it from there where it works every single time.
    It is the most frustrating problem and makes using the forums very difficult.
    If I am the only one fair enough, tell me what I need to do to fix the problem.
    Thanks!

    Gary,
    discussions may sometimes be slow for an hour or so (at which point the opening page of discussions will eventually apologize for the inconvenience, back on line soon...) but your description looks like a cache problem.
    Try OnyX freeware to do some cleanup and see if that helps.

  • Do BT representatives read this forum, and if you ...

    All you read about is the issue where the signal is lost, and you have to reboot to get all of the channels back.
    It is very widespread, and clearly a FIRMWARE issue.
    I myself suffer with this on a regular basis and it is INFURIATING.
    It seems that no representative of BT comments, advises or cares about this issue, or indeed few others? If this is the case, what is the point of this official BT forum?
    Optimistic I know, but a reply would be refreshing.

  • How do you correct Windows 7 "you can't log in because of a server error"?  I have tried all suggestions on this forum and still continues to be a problem.  All my other computers and devices are fine.

    I have reset winsock, I have disabled firwewall, virus program, - tried everything.  Still no luck.  Looks like many people are havoing the same problem.  What IS the problem and how can it be fixed?

    Antonio,
    Show ... it worked ... you are the man! This hint of clicking the right mouse button on the prompt and run as Administrator was perfect.

  • Why is login page (to register to use this forum) and other pages displaying foreign characters (e.g., বাংলা (বাংলাদেশ) when am using English (U.S.) versions of IE6 & Opera 10.6 to contact you (as FF4 hanging computer)?

    FF4 hanging badly, so used IE6 & Opera 10.63 to register with & access Mozilla support site. Some words on those pages displayed in a foreign language (Arabic script?? )-- example, বাংলা (বাংলাদেশ)
    Foreign characters on initial Support registration page, were in lieu of English words asking to select UserID & Password. (Page not entirely in foreign language--only parts. Request to repeat password choice, enter email, were in English).
    I registered (guessing what to enter). Went to Support page [support.mozilla.com/bn-BD/kb/ask]. Greeted by statement: "Our volunteers haven't translated this article into বাংলা (বাংলাদেশ) yet."
    No idea what language that is, or why u think I can read it. Presently logged in from U.S.

    That is Bengali ([http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]). Firefox 4 no longer has the language setting in the user agent and in your case it doesn't seem to work to detect the language.
    You can change the bn-BD in the link(s) to en-US on the Mozilla sites.

  • When updating my Apps on my IPhone, it tells me my password is incorrect and wont let me log in.  I came to this site and redid my password, so I know its right (as I had to put it in here to get into this forum) and it still tells me its wrong.

    When I go to updaye my apps on my IPhone it tells me my passowrd is incorrect and wont let me log in.  I changed my passowrd on this site just to be sure I had it correct and it still wont let me log in and still tells me it is incorrect.  What can I do?

    Updating your Apps is different from the Support Communities and use different passwords. Your best bet is to start with the support links here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/account/ If one of those suggestions doesn't work, then hit the "Contact Support" link from the list to the left for additional options.
