Built-in iSight - how do you know for sure it is off?

I have a new iMac with built-in iSight. I have been checking into security software for my iMac and came across the program called Undercover by Orbicule. One of the functions of that program is that is utilizes the built-in iSight camera to take pictures of the room/person who potentially stole your computer. So that caused me to wonder how do I know for sure my built-in iSight camera is turned off and not accessible by some program outside of my control? I know the green light comes on if I use it in iMovie or something like that, but how do I know it isn't being hacked and used without my knowledge?

How do you know when items will fall off your credit reports?

Can anyone tell me how you know what date items will fall off your credit report? Thanks

Each individual type of adverse information has its own exclusion date. They are all set forth in FCRA 605(a). DOFD applies only to a collection or charge-off, which have an exclusion date of no later than 7 years plus 180 days from the DOFD.Monthly account delinquencies are excluded no later than 7 years from their individual dates of occurence.BKs are exluded at 7 or 10 years, depending upon their type.Tax liens become excluded no later than 7 years from date paid.Judgments become excluded on the later of 7 years from date entered, or until the expiration of the statute of limitations on enforceability of the judgment. The credit report exclusion periods are imposed on the CRAs, and set forth the date after which they can no longer include that adverse item in credit reportes they issue.The CRAs are thus required to monitor the relevant date for each type of adverse item. The consumer should no have to request exclusion or remind the CRA of the exclusion date, but it is possible that they could miss a date, so the consumer should monitor.

Out of range...How do I know for sure?

Installed WRT150N wireless router between DSL modem and computer. No problem doing so using setup CD that came with the router. Solid intenet connection. (Wired)
Installed WMP300N wireless card in comp 100 feet away in another frame building. Also used setup CD that came with the card. Card seems to have installed ok. Also used Easy Link Advisor and Wireless Network Monitor - But Monitor Link Info Tab - has message...
"Cannot Associate with the Access Point."
Signal Strength box is blank
Link Quality box is blank
On Profiles Tab -
Profile and wireless network name fields are blank ( Empty)
"Scan" or "Connect" works but produces nothing.
Monitor states adapter is Active; green light on back of card is blinking. (Scanning)
It's like there is no wireless signal anywhere close!?
I don't know what's going on. I used the main wired comp to "try and Add" the computer to the network but that didn't work either.
I can't find a thing wrong and have spent hours reading FAQ's. Woof, no joy.
It looks to me like the comp/wireless card is just too far away from the wireless router to pick up a signal from it or a firefly has more power in his little butt!? Beats me but it's "wireless N" technology ( touting ideal conditions of 1400 feet line of sight ) and its totally out of range at 100 feet ... between two frame buildings?
Any ideas? I would like some sort of prize offered to the person that has actually connected with the most distance between them/their comp and the wireless router. I know 100 feet is no joy. Anybody have a connection at 95 feet? Raise your hand! I'd like to know..I bet a lot of us would!
(Hey linksys, what I gotta do...Load the comp in a wagon towing an extension cord to see how close I can get to the router before the card finds a signal and connects? (Now theres an idea! Makes me wish I had a lappy.) The up side is the security...one might be able to park over this router and not get a connection. Hahaha
( Don't jump on me...respect your elders..I'm 60 with a tricky ticker! Not doing my blood pressure any good...)
Ain't this supposed to be an excellent brand...You don't like "ain't", Ok...arsn't this supposed to be an excellent brand of equipment?
Does this sound like out of range to you? Anyone?
Thanks,
Thu

On router change radio band to standard, and standard channel to 11. Change advanced wireless settings : change beacon interval to 50, fragmentation threshold to 2306, RTS threshold to 2307, DTIM to 2. On computer instead of using linksys WLAN monitor, switch to windows XP's client WZC. It might connect after that.

I think my iPhone has been accessed without my permission. How do I know for sure.?

I have been having issues in my laptops for weeks. They are blatantly being accessed remotely and now it seems like they've gotten into my phone. Just because my wireless network is changing without my permission and my data logs show that programs and apps are being accessed when I haven't accessed them. Does iPhone run through apps daily even if they're not installed? Also . I saw video.toolbox which I understand(correct me if I'm wrong) is used on jailbroken phones. I don't have anything incriminating to hide on my phone or otherwise. But the invasion of privacy is sickening. Also. What about my passwords and financial info??? Please help me block this user and keep my info safe. Unless of course I'm being paranoid because of my laptop.

You are being paranoid because of your laptop.

How can I know for sure its my browser?

At times it wont load the page,and sometimes it says firefox not responding?

The basic steps are to turn off add-ons to see if the problem may be one of the add-ons.
* Firefox -> Help -> Restart with add-ons disabled
You also want to make sure your plug-gins are up to date:

Universal Apps - How do you know?

Is there any clever way to see if an application is universal or not? For example, I would assume Mail is universal, but how can I know for sure?

Under System Profiler --> Applications, you can list every app on your HD and check its architecture (expand window for full column list). This way you can get a quick summary of what's Universal and what's not.
Incidentally, it looks like developers actually had plenty of warning that OS X would end up on Intel...

How do you know if your Iphone app is connecting to the internet?

I'm a brand new Iphone user and I have a question about apps. I only have the smallest data plan. I'm wondering how do you know if your app (or any app you download) once opened connects to the internet?
For instance I have a Netflix subscription. When I hit the Netflix app is that connecting to the internet? When I watch a movie or tv in my own que is that still on the internet?
Or what about the Kindle app or iBooks? Is it on the internet to read?
Those are just two small examples. I'm having a hard time figuring out which apps to download based on if they connect to the internet for their use.

As a general rule, if the app stores all of its data locally on your phone, a data connection is not needed for that app to function properly. If the app does not store data locally on your phone...streaming apps(Netflix), the built in Maps app, etc., a data connection will be required for the app to function properly. You can minimize your cellular data usage by only using such apps when connected to available WiFi. You also have the ability to turn cellular data completely off in settings: Settings>General>Network>Cellular Data>Off. Best to completely read an apps description before installing such on your phone. If a data connection is required for the app to function, it will state such in the app's description.

How do you know what classes to use ?

Hello,
This may sound daft - but how do you know what classes to use to do a particular task ? For example to do password-related stuff - how would I know which classes are all relevant to that ? Am I supposed to buy a book on the classes as the API documentation doesn't really tell you WHEN to use which classes.

If you're using JSP, then your password field is likely going to be implemented in HTML. So that's nothing to do with Java. (And you can't use a JPassword field in a JSP page.) But when that field comes back to your server, you may be using Java to authenticate it. Even there, the question is not yet what Java method you are going to use, but what methodology. You could have a database to authenticate against, or an LDAP directory. Or you could have the web server use its built-in authentication, which means you don't have to do any Java coding at all. And there are other ways.
So the question before yours is, how do you know what methodology to use? Again, that comes down to experience.

Can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

can you have multiple Apple TV's in the same house and network? If so how do you know which one to pick from your Idevice?

Yes, there are even defaults for naming them, such as LivingRoom, Bedroom, etc, or you can even enter your own name with the remote for each AppleTV.

How do you know a hard drive is bad?

how do you know a hard drive is bad?

From the OS X "Help" system:
Check whether a disk is about to fail
You can check the health of many disks in Disk Utility. Many disks include Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T) hardware, which lets a disk test itself for potential problems.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the disk in the list at the left.
If you see a message saying the disk has a fatal hardware error, the disk has an irreparable hardware problem that can’t be fixed by Disk Utility or any other utility that repairs software problems. Back up as much of the data on the disk as possible, and then replace the disk.
If you don’t see a message saying the disk has a hardware error but you still have problems with the disk, you can try to repair it with Disk Utility.

How do you know what view is available to a form?

A customer requirement that we set the a firstlogin attribute on the on one of the resources the first time a user logs into the IDM end user interface, changes their password, and provides answers for their authentication questions. The way I know that a person has done this, it that they are displayed the "End User Menu"
The problem is the accounts portion of the User view is not accessible from the End User Menu. I put the same code in the End User Form and it works.
Is there a way for me to access resource attributes from this form?
Is this the incorrect approach to solving this problem?
How do you know what view is available to a form?

Thanks, that was my problem originally. When using a fieldref I had to set the base context to variables.user i.e.
baseContext=':variables.user'
And in workflow I had to preface variable names with the name of the object I checked the view out into.
What I really wanted to know how to have multiple views open in a form if possible. I'd like to be able to manipulate user and role objects in the same form when editing users in a specific org.
