Unwanted network connections.

To start, I hope that this post will be in communities to Support Apple > Mac OS & software system > El Capitan...

I am currently using a 13 "Macbook Pro late 2014 RETINA display SSD hard drive with a processor intel i5. However I used the Mac for 10 years and I love them. I'm starting this discussion for the simple and yet the complex issues involved with the activity of the network. What happened to start your system/mac and you "user" is the person who made all of these external connections to the internet. I use Little Snitch as well as iStats. It seems a bit odd to need an app to watch all of your network connections. I was always under the impression that only Windows (including windows 10) was the operating system that has kept and all data sent to Microsoft. Just for the mac user lay, so that we know what most of these demons are trying to connect to the web. A small example is garguillo. I did some research and looked all game Kit frameworks that support this Protocol, in total, in my view, there are 16. I looked at each and decided, I use none of them so why this daemon needs to connect to the outside world automatically? So I decided I would not allow it to connect to the web. Unfortunately, I recently read that el Capitan has 'Protection system integrity' which prevents the root to modify system files. So in summary what it means? Once again as a lay mac user (I'm not an engineer, programmer or computer) why some items need to run, even if I do not use them? Geo-location is another example, probably better than garguillo. I'm under the assumption after searching for a bit, the com.apple.geod.xpc Protocol is essentially a location service. Well what happens if I don't want my site to document constantly using my mac? Why can't I just turn it off. In my view, that it is mainly used for the cards. I have started this thread with the intent to maybe get an answer with a list of protocols/demons/connections that must be why. It seems that every day I'm Googling to see what one of these Apple services are and why I need to be allowing it to connect to the web. Recently, I had a rogue server ovh.net attached to my netstats, and he only received data from my laptop. I don't know if I got a virus on a website or something, but he me enough to wipe my SSD and do a clean reinstall scared. This process is very difficult for me because I keep all my photos and data are stored on external hard drives, and I just wanted to make sure that the server that connected had disappeared me and he took a bit of code that allowed him to connect disappeared with it. In short, I would be really thankful some answers with Apple services that try to connect on startup, but you don't need. I'm trying to run a system with as little as possible expansion. I don't want to use iCloud but it seems almost impossible because I own an iPhone, Macbook and other products Apple who all want to communicate (although I wish they were all only entities). If I can please help with things that I can get rid of without disrupting the integrity of my UNIX-like OS aka OS X El Capitan, I'd be very happy. I would also like to see some answers to see if someone feels the same way I do.

Thank you

In response to this, I would also like to ask about the problem of Sparkle.framework. I downloaded on my VLC mac and would like to know if I need to worry about this.

  • An undesirable network connection is disconnected

    I had a problem with my wireless due to another network card, communicate with her.  I noticed that there are two other networks of communication with my adapter besides the one I put up.  How can I remove the undesirable two networks?

    Hi Rfire39

    You can delete the unwanted connection as follows:

    1. use your mouse to click on the start menu, and then select Control Panel.
    2. click the button on "Network and Internet" Control Panel and select network and sharing Center.
    3. click on the tab "manage network connections".
    4. find the unwanted network connections that you want to remove in the scroll bar. According to the number of connections you currently have in Windows Vista, it is possible that you need to scroll a bit to find the one you want to delete.
    5. click on the unwanted connection you want to remove.
    6. click on the button 'delete '.
    7. confirm your selection by pressing 'Yes' when asked if you are sure you want to remove the connection. You can also choose to press 'Cancel' or 'No' to return to the previous screen and prohibit the removal of the connection.
    Note that you can also change the network through the Network Wizard. Simply click on start, then "Connect To" and "show all connections".
    8. Select the network connection you want to change by clicking right on it and selecting the option you want. You can choose 'Disable' the connection, which would roughly have the same effect that completely removing, making it inactive.
    9. press the button "Delete" after clicking on a network connection in the network connection window. This will completely remove the connection in the same way that detached from the control panel.

  • Network connection, re-directed through microsft

    In network connections, it is said, I am not connected to the internet, but I am. In the taskbar notifications, I right click on the connection icon, and then click on diagnose and repair. It indicates that the connection is routed through another Web site. When I click on connect to this site, it brings me to the Windows Update page. I run spyware scans, restarted the computer and the connection several times and even a system restore for a time before this problem and still the same result. I don't understand, I have an appropriate windows license purchased with Dell computer. What can be the problem?

    Initial contact, your ISP and see if they have an explanation or can solve the problem - it may be a problem they can solve easily.

    If it does not, then it is likely, that you have been infected by malicious software.

  • How can I manually remove a network adapter wireless, hidden and corrupt "Network connections" in Windows 7?

    I need to locate and remove a network hidden in Windows 7 device manually.  The device is called "Wireless network connection" but does not appear in network connections.  The reason why I know that its there is when I try to rename "Wireless Network Connection 2" to "Wireless network connection" I get an error that the connection already exists, even if the device has been uninstalled and is not listed.  I have to remove this connection because it is completely corrupt and preventing any wireless with a red X in the system tray.  The adapter works fine on another machine.  I tried showing hidden devices in device but Manager that has not worked.

    Open a command line window and type the following two lines:

    Set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1
    Start devmgmt.msc

    In this special Device Manager window. in the menu, click view and then Show hidden devices

    Unwanted devices will appear dimmed. You right-click on them from there and uninstall them.

    Then return to your network center and rename your adapters for what you want without the sign #.

  • Sierra periodically drops network connection

    I installed Sierra last night.  For the third time today, I was told that I was not connected to the internet.  The first two times I have recycled my modem and returned.  This time, before that I did, the system which I would put in sleep after that I lost the internet, woke up spontaneously and I was connected. And now, the same thing that happened to me last night also happens to know that after you put the system to sleep, in a few seconds, he wakes up immediately without doing me anything. (Which had itself set last night, but now it is again).  No doubt these two are related?

    No idea what is happening and how to solve this problem, so it doesn't continue to occur?  Thank you.

    Tonight after the system into sleep, I woke it and again, for the fourth time today, I have had no network connection.  I waited a while and was connected again. So I think that there is something of how Sierra handles sleep taking offline or something similar.  I always hope that someone here can help with advice about what to do to fix this problem.  Thank you.

  • Why El Capitan 10.11.6 wonder to accept incoming network connections to iTunes12.5.1?

    WHENEVER I'm starting iTunes12.5.1, I wonder by El Capitan "do you want the application"iTunes.app"to accept incoming network connections?

    "Authorized" it the first time, why is it happen again?

    This isn't a small problem of snitch I deleted all the rules of LS for iTunes. Start iTunes and get two windows permissions. The small window reproduced every time I restart iTunes.

    I reinstalled the OS X 10.11.6 and downloaded iTunes from the iTunes site and reinstalled. I always get the menu 'accept' whenever I start iTunes.

  • Why do block/allow the python network connections?

    Whenever I restart my computer, I get a popup window asking me to deny/allow incoming network connections to python.app. I checked my firewall settings and they are configured to allow incoming network connections. How can I fix so I did not have these messages?

    Create a new account and start in this account. If the problem persists, it may be another application is triggering demand or maybe it's that the firewall application is causing the problem. Function where and how you use your mac OS firewall may not be necessary.

  • TimeCapsule loses network connection

    I have a TimeCapsule (new version of turn 2014) and I noticed that my backups are not being every hour. Utility app showed 'device not found' on the network.  I restarted the time capsule - it connects to the network successfully for about 3 minutes and then "Device Not Found".  I restarted my TimeWarner cable modem then restarted TC even question.  My wifi router is the TimeWarner modem and I have 60MB of speed that I'm guaranteed up to 50MB, so all right from the internet side.

    I did a soft reset... same question.  I did a hard reset and used the previous settings - same issue (3 minutes network, and then click device not found a few moments later).  I guess I can do a default network but since absolutely no changes to the network settings have work probably months (7 + months) I don't see why this would happen.  I don't want to lose my entire backup (s) risk is... I have no other way to save my December 2015 MBP.  * Funny, it is the TC network shows, if I hit him "save now" finds TC but TC for 3 minutes then turns off network; However, the backup actually occurs successfully. But will not back up again until I restart then the TC on the network these 2-3 minutes before losing the connection.  Help.

    I have a MBP 15 mid-2015 "and capital El v10.11.6.  My TC etc are all up to date on the versions of software too!

    Many users have posted on the forum with the same number of "Device not found" in the last days. Looks like almost every new post is about it. This is one of a few minutes there are, for example:

    TimeCapsule loses network connection

    Rumor has it that the 10.11.6 recent update is part or all of the problem, according to the opinion.

    The "fix" of the day is to disable Back to My Mac in AirPort Utility, that seems to work for users who have helped with my Mac. Of course, you lose functionality when you do this.

    No solution yet for users who do not use Back to My Mac, because they cannot turn off something they did not.

    Apple is silent, not so much we can do until Apple recognizes that there is a problem (which they are not since yesterday when I spoke to them).

    Stay tuned.

  • Firefox cannot connect to a local server subdomain if no available network connection.

    Hello

    I have a laptop that is configured as a local server using Apache. On this, I use "localhost" as the domain and have several subdomains.
    Now, if I have no network connection (to any other device) available on this laptop, and then with Firefox I am only able to access the domain 'localhost', but none of the subdomains and get a "Server not found" error on these. If I have a network connection, I can access the domain and subdomains with no problems.

    What it could be and what can I do to make it work without a network connection?
    I also tried with Opera and Chrome, and they can access subdomains anyway.
    Unfortunately however I prefer Firefox, then Yes... I am here.

  • network connection is not available when using the photos on apple tv

    While using Apple TV and pictures, I get a message that says don't: no available network connection.  I check other programs and they have an available network connection and all is well.  This happens intermittently, but once it happens, you will need to restart the apple tv several times and I hope that solves the problem.  I use icloud photo library and I am trying to access my photos.  Is this a known issue?

    This could be one of those cases where the message is just a generic "connection failed" message. So he doesn't mean what he says, just that it cannot connect to the server iCloud.

    Together there is automatic DNS in your network ATV settings?

    Are you sure that there is no interference from WiFi? If there is no interference, a reboot should be enough.

    When photos fails, you can use another application that uses the internet?

    Have you tried to install the application "Fixer WiFi"? I can just guess that your WiFi connection is unstable and station service app download recovery (all?) may not be very robust.

    Personally, I had no problem download & install the update (in addition, there is some messagebox after update).

    #1
    Are you sure, that there is enough free space on your shelf for download? (Shouldn't need more than 1 GB)

    #2
    Optimize your WiFi connection. Put the Tablet next to the router during the download. If this does not help, try to check (i.e. with a laptop and software, or the router can have such a function) what are the channels (2, 4 GHz) have probably never served in your neighborhood and try to reconfigure the router to use a channel of the less/not used.

    It will be useful.
