OS X V10.7 Lion :: "postgres" Allow/deny Message Won't Stop Popping Up
Mar 17, 2012
Brand new MBP 15, 10.7.2, just got today. Migrated old MBP 13 which was 10.6.8. Now at random, a message asking for permission for incoming connections pops up at random for about 1/2 second. It's so fast I can't click on the allow or deny button. I shot video of the screen so I could actually see a frame. It says to fix it in Firewall, but I don't see anything about postgres listed there. But I don't even know what the heck postgres is. How do I stop this.
How do stop the applications from popping up on my screen every time I turn on my Mac? It's been happening ever since a upgraded from Leopard to Lion. Or it has to do with Evernote.
I have 3 email accounts that I have added to my Mac Mail. It seems to have chosen my school email account as the default email so every time I send an email, it says it's coming from this school account. I have a primary gmail account that I would like to use as a default. Is there a way to stop this automatic selection every time I compose a message? Even if I select the account I want to use when I compose a new email message, it still sends it out showing the wrong account as the sender.
I bought my Macbook Pro from my friend but I completely rebooted the system and started off as if the laptop was brand new. But I keep getting this message on a lot of apps from the Mac App Store.
I rely on a program called SoundOn! to stop the popping sound on my Macbook aluminium while using external speakers. But, I seem to have done something (slash OS X seems to have done something) which means that the application now opens in Script Editor rather than a standalone application. When I go to the Get Info window in Finder to change the default application I cannot simply set it as an application and get a choice between TextEdit, Automator and Script Editor. I don't want any of these. How do I go about resetting this so it will work?
Also, maybe if anyone has a Cocoa application for the same purpose of keep-alive for the sound card I'd be really greatful, as this application was made for 10.0.0-10.2.x and hasn't been updated since 2003.
I recently connected my printer to my new Airport Extreme and I print to my HP printer wirelessly. Whenever I print something, this always pops up. What is this and what can I do to stop it from popping up whenever I print something? Is this normal?
I recently downloaded MPlayerx and now whenever I am on a website and click on a tab, an add pops up in a new window. Is this a virus, if so how do I get rid of it? or what do I have to do to get this to stop? I deleted the app and went into applications and deleted that also but it keeps happening.
Mackeeper and oneclickads keep opening when I click on a page anywhere while browsing, even if it is not a hyperlink. How to stop them?
Although when I click on a link, my address bar shows "Pop-up blocked" but it still opens up a new window with Mackeeper or other ads. And then I have to click again on the link for the actual page to open up.
This happens on Safari as well as Chrome browsers.

Every time I go online to check lottery numbers the facebook login page takes over. I have never used facebook but my daughter has used this computer to do her facebook stuff.Â
Even when I close Safari and run ccleaner to get rid of everypart of facebook that I can. The sme thing will happen right after I go back to that web site.Â
I haven't noticed facebook jumping in front of any other site, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't. Can my daughter change anything at facebook to stop this? Can I tell my mac to block facebook?

I have noticed more and more unwanted ads popping up from time to time, I can't hardly do anything! As soon as I start a search on Safari all these ads start coming.
How do I stop/turn-off having all my text messages or phone calls popping up on my laptop? ... Without affecting my iCloud backups, connections, calendar, contacts etc.

Every time I plug in my cell phone to charge up using my Mac, I get the message, �A New Network Interface has been found...� Is there any way to remove/stop this message from popping up as it gets annoying?
When I connect my iPhone to the Mac, the attached image always shows up ( as a window ) . I've looked under the iTunes panel for the iPhone and there isn't even a folder that it should be synced...
So to the issue: I tried to send an email, not knowing it was 25mb, and obviously it did not go through. I deleted it out of my outbox, and since then it's been popping up in recovered messages non stop (current count is 96). I've deleted the files from the mail app, deleted the temporary files in the mac mail folder, deleted the contents of the deleted folder, and yet the application still "recovers" the message non stop.
Since this has happened I have not been able to obtain new messages from mac mail because it is busy with whatever it is doing
so I just booted up my MBP, and I got this message that said that an application called srserviceagent, which is not in my applications, quit unexpectedly. I hit ignore, and the message just popped up again five seconds later. I did this multiple times, before just deciding to click relaunch. Well, all this does is immediately bring the message back up. So I hit report, in which it said that the report couldnt be sent. I have force quit, restarted and shut down already.
Im not sure why but when i first turn on my macbook a very fast pop up comes on and goes away. It has been happening ever since i turned my firewall on last week after realizing it was somehow off.
i have tried to take a picture and video to read the pop up but it fashes so fast i can read it. it looks like a allow/deny request. I was not able to find out what it was online.
I am using the Mail (5.2) app in OS 10.7. I have my Inbox sorted by decending date, i.e. newest mail at the top. When I delete a message, Mail currently selects the message above, i.e. the one that had arrived after the deleted one chronologically. Since I work through my emails from newest to latest (usually), I will already have seen the newer mesage. What I want to see is the next message on the list, i.e. the next one, which arrive before the deleted one. My question there is: How can I advance to the previous message rather than the next one (chronologically) after deleting a message?
I use Google 2-step verification. With my upgrade to Yosemite, all my text messages that previously only went to my iPhone now also appear on my Macbook Pro. In general that's fine, but it's a big security problem.  If anyone gets my computer then they immediately have access to all my 2-step codes because the codes will be sent to my Macbook in addition to my phone. Previously I only had to worry about one device (my phone) and but now there is a big problem with my computer falling into the wrong hands.Â
Is this an attempt by Apple to stop people from using Google 2-step verification?Â
I have a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard, and Windows 7 Premium installed via Boot Camp v3.0 (equal 64GB partitions on a 128GB SSD). Both OS�s are running fast and smoothly without any major issues � except for the following:
-When I am logged into Snow Leopard, I can open and access all the folders and files for all users on the Windows 7 partition (but you cannot write to them).
-When I am logged into Windows 7, I can open and access all the folders and files for all users on the Snow Leopard partition (but you cannot write to them).
I receive a dialog box asking to allow or deny Adobe Flash to install something on my iMac when I run Flash enabled web content. I cannot select the allow or deny buttons and the box stays on screen throughout the video. I have downloaded the latest version of Flash and my software is up to date.
After updating to osx Lion I've been having trouble with a dialog box wanting me to enter my Kerberos user name and password. I have no idea why this happens and what user name / password it is asking for, I just hit cancel and everything else seems to work fine. But the dialog box keeps popping up again and again, it is pretty annoying. Can anyone tell me how to turn it off?
