Can I determine the IP of someone who has hacked into my wireless DSL?

I had all my PCs shut down/unplugged recently to move them but noticed the wireless light on my Actiontec was still lit/flashing. Could this be due to someone hacking into my DSL? I removed the antenna and it stopped. Replaced the antenna and it started again. I have a password on the wireless part but I understand software is out there which allows someone to determine the password. I have not changed the password yet until I ascertain if there is any way to determine the IP of the hacker. Or will any records just show MY IP no matter who connects? I am concerned with someone downloading illegal material or posting messages which will come back to my IP address.
Should I report this to Verizon now in case some legal difficulty should come my way in the future?
I'm not very smart on this stuff so please bear with me. Thanks...

The IP address in this case will be absolutely useless. Because he came in through your wireless access point, he will be assigned an IP address in the 192.168.1.x range. These are non-routable IP addresses, and just about router in the world assigns connected users an IP in that range. So it is absolutely useless.
You may be able to obtain the MAC address from the Wireless router log/statistics, at least that is likely to be unique, but it doesn't tell you where or who the hacker is.
As the other poster suggested, lock down your wireless network. WEP is probably the easiest to use, and will certainly deter the average hacker. MAC filtering also usually works well because very few users understand how to change the MAC address through software. Basically MAC filtering only allows the MAC addresses on your list to utilize the network. WPA may or may not be available on wireless access point. It is more secure than WEP, but probably exacts a small performance price.

I bought an app that can't run on my iPod Touch because it is too old. Can I gift the app to someone else or get a refund?

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation. I didn't even realize the new iPod Touch 5 had come out, or that my device would not support the newest iOS.
Recently, an app came out that I was looking forward to for months: "The Walk" by Six to Start (same folks who did the excellent "Zombies, Run!" app). I'm pregnant and I was hoping to have the app to encourage me to get back into my walking habit once I recovered from childbirth, so I bought it. Unfortunately, there was no warning or indication that this app would NOT work on my iPod Touch 4, and nothing to inform me that iOS 7 wouldn't be supported on my device. The app requires iOS 7 or higher to run, so it won't work on my iPod Touch at all. I didn't realize any of this until I tried to install it.
So now I have this app that I paid for, but have never used, and CAN never use (unless I shell out $300+ for a new device, which I cannot do, as a stay-at-home parent-to-be with no income of my own anymore). I'm annoyed that I can't use this app that I really wanted, but it would help if I could at least get a refund or maybe send the app to someone who CAN use it.
Is there anything I can do at this point, or do I just have to live with the fact that I wasted money on an app that I can't use?

You can't gift it, gifting can only be done from within the store, not from within your library.
Puchases are considered final but you can try the 'report a problem' link to contact iTunes Support and see if they will refund or credit you : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes Support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I have an I pad can I chat with someone who has an Apple Mac computer, if so what do I need to do ??

Hi,
In Messages on the iPad you need to be using an Apple ID (which you probably are)
You can then iMessage (the form of Apple Chat Messaging that is used) to other Apple IDs or iPhone numbers.
They have to be using iOS 5.5 or higher or OS X 10.8 on a Mac. ( A Mac could be up to OS X 10.8.2 if updated iOS devices could be up to iOS 6.0.1)
You then needs either WiFi access or a Data contract and an iPad that can do at least 3G (some have SIM cards)

When_window_closed can't determine the right parent

I have a problem that the when_window_closed can't determine the right parent in de qms$window.when_window_closed procedure of headstart.
In a form I have two windows. One is the parent window and one is a child window. After doing some changes in my parent window I navigate with a button (go_block) to this child window. When I want to close the child window, the child window thinks it's the last window and asks if I want to save my changes. If I say yes my changes are commited and if I say no both the parent and the child window are closed.
A detail about the child window is: the child window has no key_based_link to the blocks on the parent window. I have a similar form with two windows but in this form the blocks are connect by a key_based_link in that form the child window can determine the parent window and does not ask if it has to save any changes.
My question is: Does anyone know how my child window can determine the parent window, even though it's not connected with a key_based_link to the other block, so that when I close the child window I won't be asked to save any changes? In qms$window.when_window_closed the parent is determined but in this case it returns a null for it's parent.

Some additional information, I checked the code of the when_window_closed
and I see the following:
-- this is part of the code in qms$window.when_window_closed who checks if the child window has a parent
if name_in('system.form_status') = 'CHANGED'
then
-- my parent form has been changed so the form_status is changed and I will enter this part of the code
l_group_id := find_group('CGSH$FORM_OBJECTS');
l_parent_id := find_column('CGSH$FORM_OBJECTS.PARENT_NAME');
l_child_id := find_column('CGSH$FORM_OBJECTS.OBJECT_NAME');
l_count := get_group_row_count(l_group_id);
for i in 1..l_count loop
l_child := get_group_char_cell(l_child_id, i);
if upper(l_child) = upper( get_view_property
( get_item_property
( name_in('system.trigger_item')
, item_canvas
, window_name
then
l_parent := get_group_char_cell(l_parent_id, i);
-- l_parent is null ????? Should be a value, cause it's a child window.
-- the only thing I can determine that de parent is null, is that the child window has
-- no key_based_link with the parent window.
l_last_window := (l_parent is null); -- l_last_window becomes true
exit;
end if;
end loop;
if l_last_window -- is true cause the parent id was null
then
if qms$errors.show_message('QMS-00158')
then -- do you want to commit the change
-- if yes then both my child and parent form are commited which I don't want yet
commit_form;
if name_in('system.form_status') <> 'QUERY'
then
go_block('QMS$TRANS_ERRORS');
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
else
-- if no then both my child and parrent form are closed and all the changes are discarded
exit_form(no_validate,full_rollback);
end if; -- show message
end if; -- last window
end if; -- form status 'changed'
How can the child window, have a parent window which is null?
And how can I resolve this problem? So that I have a parent window with a value?

TS2755 Why can't I send messages to someone who does not have an apple product from my new Ipad2?

I just got an Ipad2 and can not figure out why I can't send a message to someone who does not have an apple product. I can from my iPhone. When I enter there name it is shown in red with an ! Behind it and the word send does not light up.

You can text this person from your iPhone because you are using SMS over the voice cell network. There is no access to the voice cell network on the iPad, even if you have the WiFi+3G model.
There are some apps, such as TextFree, that will let you do this.

I have 2 Company ipads. They were set up by someone who has left the company. His email address was deleted when he left - so we cannot send a recovery email request. He connected both iPads to 'find my iphone' - and we cant locate his mobile! help!

If you have the original receipts, you can take them to an Apple Store and they may be able to remove the activation lock. A good lesson learned to have an employee clear a device when leaving.

Only the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Can someone who has NO Apple products get an iCloud account?

Can someone who has NO Apple products get an iCloud account? I cannot find a clear answer.
Now with the just-announced iWorks Beta for iCloud, I'm wondering if non-Apple product users will have access to it, similar to the way that anyone can use Google Docs?
It would make my life easier if anyone could qualify for a limited account and we could share our work. It would probably lead to more Mac, iPhone, and iPad sales as well.

This article gives the minimum system requirements for iCloud: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759. What it doesn't clarify is that you can't create an account on a PC. This is shown in step 2 of this guide: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html, where it says you enter the ID you used to create the account; meaning, it must first be created on an iOS device or Mac. If you don't, when you try to create it on a PC you will get an error message saying you entered a valid Apple ID, but not an iCloud ID.

How can I determine the type of video out connector I need?

Howdy,
I have a white macbook purchased Jun/2008. I want to connect to a TV but don't know what adapter I need. How can I determine the type of video out jack my macbook has?
System Profiler says the model identifier is "MacBook 4,1". Under Graphics/Displays the only thing it says about the "Display Connector" is that no display is connected. Too bad it doesn't tell me what type of connector it is. If I knew the name of the connector I'd probably be home free. But it seems like every macbook model has a different video connector (since the state of the art has advanced over the years) and I haven't been able to keep up with the names.
Now, I have a 6" long adapter that will convert this connector to VGA. And searching the Apple store for VGA adapters, the existence of mine says my connector is might be one of "Mini DisplayPort", "Apple Mini DVI", "Apple DVI", or "Apple Micro-DVI". But then there is also the connector at
http://store.apple.com/us/product/M8639G/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY
and that looks like the one I have. But unlike the other adapters, this one is just called a "VGA Display Adapter". Does the connector have a name? How can I find adapters that have that same connector?
I know I could use the adapter I have, plus a VGA to VGA cable, to hook up to a TV. But the quality of the VGA signal is poor in the digital world. My goal is to hook up to the TV via HDMI. Is this even possible? By which I mean, will my macbook generate the signals necessary to be able to be converted to HDMI?
Thanks for any help,
Zebulon T

Thanks, Ded,
You're right, the cable that I have won't work. I't from my previous, 2004 iBook. This is pretty embarrassing... I looked at the cable but didn't bother to try plugging it in.
Looking at the close-up picture of the Mini-DVI to VGA adapter, that does look like the right connector. So I have Mini-DVI, and the other apter you pointed to can convert this to DVI. I'll take a look to see what makes the most sense, connector wise, downstream from that.
Thanks very much.

How Can I Determine the Size of the 'My Documents' Folder for every user on a local machine using VBScript?

Hello,
I am at my wits end into this. Either I am doing it the wrong way or it is not possible.
Let me explain. I need a vb script for the following scenario:
1. The script is to run on multiple Windows 7 machines (32-Bit & 64-Bit alike).
2. These are shared workstation i.e. different users login to these machines from time to time.
3. The objective of this script is to traverse through each User Profile folder and get the size of the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder. This information is to be written to a
.CSV file located at C:\Temp directory on the machine.
4. This script would be pushed to all workstations from SCCM. It would be configured to execute with
System Rights
I tried the script detailed at:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/heyscriptingguy/archive/2005/03/31/how-can-i-determine-the-size-of-the-my-documents-folder.aspx
Const MY_DOCUMENTS = &H5&
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace(MY_DOCUMENTS)
Set objFolderItem = objFolder.Self
strPath = objFolderItem.Path
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(strPath)
Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size
The Wscript.Echo objFolder.Size command in the script at the above mentioned link returned the value as
'0' (zero) for the current logged on user. Although the actual size was like 30 MB or so.
I then tried the script at:
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Script/Q_27869829.html
This script returns the correct value but only for the current logged-on user.
Const blnShowErrors = False
' Set up filesystem object for usage
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
' Display desired folder sizes
Wscript.Echo "MyDocuments : " & FormatSize(FindFiles(objFSO.GetFolder(objShell.SpecialFolders("MyDocuments"))))
' Recursively tally the size of all files under a folder
' Protect against folders or files that are not accessible
Function FindFiles(objFolder)
On Error Resume Next
' List files
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:01", objFolder.Path
On Error Resume Next
FindFiles = FindFiles + objFile.Size
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:02", objFile.Path
Next
If Err.Number = 0 Then
' Recursively drill down into subfolder
For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders
On Error Resume Next
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:04", objFolder.Path
FindFiles = FindFiles + FindFiles(objSubFolder)
If Err.Number <> 0 Then ShowError "FindFiles:05", objSubFolder.Path
Next
Else
ShowError "FindFiles:03", objFolder.Path
End If
End Function
' Function to format a number into typical size scales
Function FormatSize(iSize)
aLabel = Array("bytes", "KB", "MB", "GB", "TB")
For i = 0 to 4
If iSize > 1024 Then iSize = iSize / 1024 Else Exit For End If
Next
FormatSize = Round(iSize, 2) & " " & aLabel(i)
End Function
Sub ShowError(strLocation, strMessage)
If blnShowErrors Then
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine "==> ERROR at [" & strLocation & "]"
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " Number:[" & Err.Number & "], Source:[" & Err.Source & "], Desc:[" & Err.Description & "]"
WScript.StdErr.WriteLine " " & strMessage
Err.Clear
End If
End Sub
The only part pending, is to achieve this for the 'My Documents' folder within each User Profile folder.
Is this possible?
Please help.

Here are a bunch of scripts to get folder size under all circumstances. Take your pick.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
