A way to tell how many hours a computer has run

Is there any way to tell approximately how many hours (like a car has an odometer) my PowerMac G4 1GHZ MDD has been run in total?
Thanks,
Awfers

Old World ROM Macs used to hold that info, along with the manufacturing date, in PRAM. It could be viewed with an old Demo version of TechTools and probably a couple of other freeware utilities. The problem was that, if you ever flushed PRAM via a CUDA reset or removed the PRAM battery, the info was lost.
Older versions of Techtools (v3 and earlier for pre-OSX systems) had an option to save that PRAM data before zapping the PRAM or replacing the battery. The function to reload the saved data was labeled "Restore Mandate" if you want to search further.

    Is there a way to know how many hours of work did a project demanded (even if it was on multiple days, sessions or cross-working other projects)?
    I am using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 on windows 7.

    There is no feature for that in Premiere Pro.  I suggest that you keep a project log either in a spreadsheet, database, Notepad or Wordpad file, or a hand written one.

  • Any way to tell how many GB's an iPhone 4S has without setting it up?

    I just got a new iphone 4S (with no box) as a replacement for a broken one from the Apple store.  I have a new iphone 5C that is already set up on my account.  Is there any way to tell how many GB's the 4S has without setting it up since I just want to sell it and want to know how many GB's it has before I list it.

    The same as the one replaced. What does it say on the receipt?

  • How to find out how many hours an iMac has been running!

    Is there a way to find out how many hours an iMac has been running? I am thinking of buying a second hand iMac 20' or 21.5' as for space reasons, the actual 27' versions are too big. And of course, all adverts state "hardly never used"!!

    Hi, I think in later OSes I've seen total Machine hours in System Report or such, but on 10.4.11 right know.

    No idea what you'd find interesting. Any book on BSD Unix would list a plethora of useful commands. There are also some books on UNIX specifically for Mac OS X. You can also find a number of sites by searching the web for something like "mac unix commands".

    From the Finder, click the Apple logo at top left, choose About This Mac and then from the window that opens choose System Report.
    Scroll down to the Software heading and in the System Siftware overview, you'll see Time since boot.

  • Corporate Sync - way to tell how many people using it?

    Hello,
    Is there any way to create a report to find out how many users are using Corporate Sync? This is with Corporate Time 5.3.
    Thank you,
    Mike

    One possibility is the "act.log" found among the unison log files. It has entries for each signon that also describe the client used. Example:
    DATE = Tue Oct 21 07:52:51 2003
    PID = 4907
    SIGNON: Doe, John,NA (1000,1587)
    CLIENT: Name = "CorporateSync/WINDOWS/CorporateSync for Palm[Lexasaurus Native]"
    Version = "03.00.07.1803 [03.00.07.1803 ]"
    UniapiVersion = "A.04.00"
    Other = "CHARSET=UTF-8"
    From = "xxxx.xxxx.uic.edu" (131.193.xxx.xxx)

  • How to tell how many times a method has executed?

    Hi, all
    I've got a main class (Model.java) that repeatedly calls a step() method in a sub class (Ocean.java). I want Ocean.java to execute its step() method following one set of rules for the first time it is called by Model.java, and a different set of rules for all executions 2++. I was just going to use an if/else in Ocean.java's step() method to make it switch based on a boolean haveIExecutedThisStepOnce, or something like that. Is there some way to tell Ocean.java how many times it has executed the step() method? I'm using the RePast code libraries; Model.java uses a method called getTickCount(). It returns a double value of number of times Model.java's step() method has been executed, in which Model.java tells Ocean.java to execute its step() method. Should I pry that getTickCount() value out of Model.java and get it over to Ocean.java's step() method--and if so, how? Or, is there a better way to do this that I'm not aware of?

    Why do you think that this field has to be public?
    Arguably if there's some functionality that is tightly associated with this counted method, then it should be part of the same class.
    Alternatively, think about the counting variable. It should be with the thing that uses it.
    So if class A wants to invoke class B method c once, do something else, and then invoke c some more, then that counting is really more an aspect of A than of B, and in that case the state should be in A. In that case the field really counts the number of times that A has invoked B.c, not the number of times that B.c has been invoked overall. Maybe that's what you want.
    On the other hand if you really want to count the number of times that B.c has been invoked overall, then it's an aspect of B (or more likely an instance of B). In that case, rather than expose the counting state and the counted method, it would probably be better to create a new method d(). d() would invoke c(), doing something extra depending on the counting state. Make c() private. Like this:
    class B {
      private boolean c_has_been_called = false;
      public void d() {
        c();
        if (!c_has_been_called) {
          doWhateverYouNeedInThisCase();
          c_has_been_called = true;
      private void c() {
        // and c() does whatever it normally does
    }

  • Any way of telling how many subscribers my show has?

    I'm just curious to know how many of my podcast subscribers subscribe via iTunes. Is there any way of telling? My podcasting host provides me with stats that tell me the number of downloads of my show, but I'd like to know how many are coming from the iTunes store.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi - maybe I don't understand exactly what you are doing but if you were able to create a wireless network, you should have been able to password protect it so that no one else can connect to it - am I missing something?

  • How Many times the report has run

    Dear All,
    I am trying to find out if there is any standard report which shows me as to how many times the Z or Y repor has been used.
    This is really needed for me decide.
    with regards
    Ranjith Singh

    we created a solution that reads the information from STAT and stores it in a custom table for later retreival. we can then more closely monitor the amount of statistics kept without basis involvement. the function module to read the STAT information is:
      call function 'SAPWL_STATREC_READ_FILE'
           destination servers-rfcdest
           exporting
                read_client                 = sy-mandt
                read_end_date               = pstop
                read_end_time               = pstopt
                read_exclude_username       = 'SAPSYS'
                read_start_date             = pstart
                read_start_time             = pstartt
           tables
                v2_normal_records           = stats
           exceptions
                wrong_parameter_combination = 1
                others                      = 2.
    it takes some time to develop history, but we can now go back over a year to look at run time and execution trends by program, both ours and SAPs.

  • Obvious Way to Tell How Many Files are Selected?

    I’ve been trying my best to love Lightroom, and I get close, but there’s one problem that I just can’t get past.
    Five minutes ago, I tried to export one photo, and I ended up exporting 52 photos.  This happens all the time. If I had a dime for every time I exported 500 photos instead of 1 photo, moved 500 photos instead of one photo, etc, I’d have a lot of dimes.
    Anyway, I deleted the 51 extra exports, synced the folder, got everything where I wanted it, then … exported 52 photos again.
    Sigh.
    The only way I’ve been able to avoid this is in the past is by obsessively pressing Command+D.  When I’m trying to do anything, I pound these two keys like there’s no tomorrow, but of course, I have to re-select the files I do want to perform actions on.
    I kept thinking I’d get used to it, but I’m still having problems to no end.  Unless I look very, very closely, I can’t tell if photos are selected or not, and if an entire screen full of photos are selected, they all look the same, so I really can’t tell.
    That’s the background, now my questions if I may:
    Is there any way to get a dialog box before performing actions on multiple photos?  Something that says, “this action will be performed on 1,871 photos, do you want to proceed?” or something to that effect?
    Ironically, it already does this when I want to delete something, which is great, but no such luck for any other actions.
    By any chance, is there something I can do to make the number of photos I have selected, more obvious?
    I know this is not a bug or program flaw, it’s a flaw with how my brain works with the program, but if I could figure out a way to make them work together , this application would be pretty awesome.  As it is, I spend more time undoing mistakes than I do organizing and editing photos.
    Thank you very much for any help.

    I am so pleased to read your post and realize I'm not the only one that gets tripped up by this! I've bee using LR extensively for more than two years now and even today, just now, I wanted to export ONE file, and the highlighting onscreen appeared to indicate I've selected one file, but turned out it was dozens of files. Now... when I'm simply exporting copies of files to another folder it's not a dangerous situation. BUT! It is very dangerous if one wishes to delete a file or several files and you think those are the only files you're deleting. Many, many times I have caught this in time, fortunately. To me this is one example of how the experience of software designers do not well understand how the end user will understand a program. Professional photographers are very specific with everything they do and don't want a program tripping them up continually. This obvious confusion over which files are actually "selected" needs cleared up.
    I read the responses to your post and find them dissatisfying. Please, Adobe, test your software with actual working photographers and not just Adobe engineers who may also happen to be amateur photographers.
