TS1629 OS 10.8 Firewall is now blocking my 1st gen Apple TV from syncing with my iMac, how do I fix this?

Here is the specific error message:
"The Apple TV "Apple TV" is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689"
I'm not running a 3rd pary firewall and my router is an Airport Extreme.  This worked until I upgraded yesterday to Mountain Lion.

Quiting iTunes and opening it again works for me too but what a pain.  I have my computer set to require a password after the screen saver has been on for more than a minute.  I find that my Apple TV gen 1 will stay connected as long I'm logged in but after my account is locked when my computer goies idle at some point the connection is lost.  Even when I log in again and go to sync the Apple TV I get the firewall message.  I have no firewall enabled and I believe I have the proper port open on my router.

  • I have Windows Professional and I used to be able to move the curser over the Firefox icon in the taskbar and it would give me a telescoped view of all open tabs, now it just shows the tab that I'm currently viewing. How do I fix this?

    Hey MikeDo,
    Do you have the option checked for ''Show Tab Previews in the Windows Taskbar''? If not, just go to ''tools->options->tabs.'' You can find more information on what each of these settings do in the Knowledge Base article [[Options window - Tabs panel]].
    Hopefully this helps!

    Thanks for the link. It is a wealth of good info.  I still haven't been able to determine what caused my crash, but with the link you provided I should be able to track it down.  Hopefully it was just a one time thing.  After using the power button and rebooting all seems ok now.  Thanks again.

    seems like your phone isn't activated properly. try doing a hard reset (hold power+home until phone restarts).
    if you have a CDMA carrier, this might not fix it for you. call the carrier and ask them to reset the activation.

    I just updated my software to Yosemite, and now I cannot access the fonts I need in Illustrator, although they are still in my font library. The problem is just with fonts I've downloaded. How can i fix this?

    emmmoose,
    Did you reinstall after updating to Yosemite? That is normally recommended. Otherwise, strange things may happen, or fail to happen.

    This isn't being caused by your iCloud account.  It's caused by using use the same Apple ID for iMessage.  To fix this you have two choices:
    On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (so both phones are using a different ID for iMessage).  Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
    On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".  Also uncheck anyone else's phone number, if present.

  • My iPad2 now says that it is disabled, that is after i installed ios7, how can i fix this

    I installed ios7 and thought it was an upgrade. When I tried to restart it, it asked for a passcode. I have not used the passcode thingy for over a year so i typed it in and after several tries it says that it is disabled. How can I fix this? I need help, I am now in the middle east and not near any Apple service center. I need my iPad.
    I hope someone from Apple sees this and has a remedy. I have itunes on my PC but I have never backed up the ipad or even connected it to the PC.
    Thanks

    Log out of your account and log in to the admin account. If there is a password, ask him what the password is and tell him to set up an admin account for you.

  • I downloaded a song and now it will only plays the first 2 minutes of the song, how can I fix this?

    I downloaded two songs and they will only play the first 2 minutes of the songs, how do I fix this?

    I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entries, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • I've reinstalled my MacBook Pro (OSX Lion) using a different apple ID, and now I can't install any iLife apps. In the app store it comes up with "Accept" and then tells me It can't accept from my user ID. How can I fix this or get iLife back?

    Mostly explained in the title. My dad gave me his MacBook, and I went ahead and wiped all of his stuff by using the recovery partition to wipe/reinstall OSX Lion. In the setup I used a new apple ID and now I can't get iLife apps. I'm relatively new to how apple works its purchases, so I'm not sure what's up. Is it that my computer has a unique ID set to the first apple ID used on it, and if so, how can I get this reset to my ID? I'm planning to get an iPhone 5 soon so I'd like to be able to use photo stream with iPhoto and try out Guitar Band.
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • My sister changed our primary apple ID email address and now it wont let me log into iTunes on my phone. How can I fix this?

    My sister changed our primary AppleID email address to her email so now I can't log into my iTunes account on my phone. I tired syncing my iphone to my mac and it wont even sync anymore. We share the same account. Is there a way to fix this?

    Hello Alexandra,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with iCloud on your devices after updating your Apple ID.  I recommend the following steps:
    Symptoms
    iOS 7 may ask for the password to your previous Apple ID when you sign out of iCloud.
    Resolution
    1. Use your current Apple ID password
    Trying using your current Apple ID password. If that doesn't work, continue to the next step.
    2. Sign out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are currently signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    If you are not signed in to iMessage or FaceTime
    3. Change your Apple ID temporarily
    If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't work, try these steps:
    Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and try to sign out.
    Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
    Tap Settings > iCloud and sign in with the new Apple ID.

  • My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out and says disabled connect to itunes.  The computer which this ipod was synced has crashed.  How can I fix this?

    My daughter forgot her password and now her ipod has locked her out ir says disabled connect to itunes.  The computer she last synced to has crashed.  How can I unlock this ipod? 

    The device will have to be restored but without the last computer it was synced to, that's not a possibility.
    Take the iPod to an Apple store or Apple certified repair shop.
    You will need a computer in order to sync, restore, and update the iPod in the future.
    "If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it."

  • The address bar used to take me DIRECTLY to a site when i typed one word (facebook, twitter, etc), now it takes me to a google search results page instead. How do I fix this?

    The URL bar used to work almost as an "I'm Feeling Lucky" search, and take me directly to the website. For example, I would type in "facebook" and it would go right to facebook.com, or "twitter" and it would go right to twitter.com.
    Now it goes to a google results page and i have to take the extra step by clicking on the top result, instead of firefox taking me right there.
    I thought this was a feature, but since i upgraded to the newest version of firefox, i can't find it in the settings anywhere and i'm not exactly sure what it's called.
