Do they make such a thing?

Hey all,
This is a shot in the dark but ill ask anyway. Is there a volume control knob that could sit on your desk (next to my computer for example, i think bose uses the volume control thing like what im talking about for their computer speakers) that i could plug into my Onkyo receiver and control the volume without using the remote (since the reciever is not right next to me?
thanks any help is appreciated

It's possible to do something like that, but I don't think anything like that exists off-the-shelf. One could map knob rotation into IR remote control codes using some circuitry (such as an AVR microcontroller) - but while it's possible to build something like this with the right skillset, I don't think it's possible to buy it.

Is there such a thing as a malware keylogger for Macs?

Hi all,
My partner, using the iMac running 10.4.8, is a regular eBay seller. Tonight at around 2300 local time her account was (and is still) hijacked. For those not knowing the workings of eBay it requires a password login just like banking, credit cards, etc. The password has been changed by the hijacker, hence she is now locked out of her account. We are now concerned that, for her account to have been hijacked, her password was gleaned via a keylogger.
Is this possible or is it more likely that a password generator was used? (Or that she was less than cautious in responding to a spoof or phish? - Don't tell her I said that, she'll shout at me!)
How would we know if such a thing was lurking, if they exist?
Many thanks in advance,
Adrian

There are several keyloggers that run on Mac OS X --- logKext, for instance; Google "keylogger Mac OS X" if you want to look over the 1,010,000 hits that returns --- but all keyloggers of which I'm aware require root user access to the Mac to install. You can always check if the roor user is enabled on the Mac and disable it is it is; see About the root User and How to Enable It. You can also check System Preferences> Security and make sure the Firewall is turned on with services tunred off (particularly Apple Remote Desktop and ssh).
Without knowing the details you refer to in your latter post, I'd agree that a password generator or plain old guessing is the more likely source of the vulnerability. Without needing to ask her the details, ask your partner if her various accounts use a password or a passphase. A password , anything based recognizably on a dictionary word (even with intentional misspellings) is vulnerable to guessing. A passphase (taking the first letters of the words in a phase, preferablly one including numbers and/or punctation) is much harder to guess. It's also worth warning her against using the same passphase on all her accounts; that's actually a common response to having to remember 24 different passwords, but it has an obvious problem if one account is broken.

HT201493 How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

How can I add my daughter to Find my friends when we have the same itunes account and that's how they make us log in?

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

Hook the phone to the computer, open the Computer icon and look for the iPhone folder. Copy the images. Not difficult at all. Sync your contacts with Outlook through iTunes. Not really so difficult.

I cant find my purchased ringtones on my itunes account? Anybody know how to find this? It's not popping up under Music in my purchased history. It is soooo frustrating because they make it so hard to find anything ringtone related on the itunes store!!!

They will be wherever you put them.
You only get one download.

For the iPad 2. Why don't they make a recording app just like the iPod or iPhone ?

I have an iPad 2. I want to know why there isn't a recording app that isn't on for factory apps? Can they make an update or something for one?

I'm sure they "can" do it. It's up to Apple if they "will."

My Daughter likes to create Calendars, as a Document, in Mircrosoft Publisher; does Acrobat Pro have a similar feature? do make such a document?

No, but that's not a problem. Acrobat isn't used to "make" documents in the way Word, or Pubisher, or whatever is. Instead, you continue to use Word or Publisher or whatever, and CONVERT the file to PDF. For every change, no matter how small, you change the original and make it again.

Why do they make apps for iPhone and dont make matching apps for the mac?

So I lovvvvveeee my MacBook Pro! I have wanted one for many years and finally got to get it. I have also been a iPhone user for many years, sense the 2nd. one came out. I have a huge issue though! I love all the different types of apps that they both have. I just dont get why it is that you can use a app for the iPhone that doesn't crossover to my Mac. That is so dumb! If they make it for one product say the iPohne then they should make it for all of them! Why don't they do so?????

Hi Jenn,
I see you already had a discussion about this and its really terrible that newsstand isnt there, but i thought I might share a few apps that do exist on both ios and mac in order to sync the two or atleast make your iphone a bit more of a sidekick to your mac or viceversa as I faced the same problems (some of them are stock apple apps but they are the best solution in my opinion).
Calendar: Use the normal reminders and calendar apps on the iphone and mac, they do a neat job syncing up
Browser: Chrome, you do need to have a gmail account for this but icloud for safari isnt as good as chromes syncing for your bookmarks and open tabs and saved passwords.
To Do lists: Wunderlist/Producteev, I suggest two here because both are excellent with the former more aesthetically appealing but the latter allowing for more functionality
Mail: Mail for Mac is generally good, but the syncing here is achieved by setting up as IMAP so make sure you always setup all your accounts as IMAP.
Notes: Dashnote, the stock notes on Mac are a bit inaccessible at times and you often lose them, so i suggest using dashnote, please note that dashnote is a widget in the dashboard on the mac and not a dedicated program but it is an app on ios
Music: Stream to me / itunes match, both of these are paid services but they allow you to share your music across both the iphone and the mac and they seem to be worth it for the price
News articles and interesting weblinks: Pocket, not a lot to say except for that its nice
Storage, and arguably a good way to read pdfs and docs on your iphone: google drive/skydrive
Messaging: Apple messages, skype
There are many more apps but these are just the ones i know and use. Hope you find some of these apps handy.

HT3209 If you buy a movie on the IPad in HD(720p) are you able to download in 1080p resolution? Or do you have to buy the 1080p or is there even such a thing?

If you buy a movie on the IPad in HD(720p) are you able to download in 1080p resolution? Or do you have to buy the 1080p or is there even such a thing?

As far as I can tell, yes. I purchased an HD movie on my old Apple TV 2 (720p) and just upgraded to the Apple TV 3 (1080p) and it displays 1080p on the info sheet and plays in that quality, so I have a feeling the same should go for you with your iPad.

We want to create an online contract form with different options which will determine different prices as they make their choices. We will also require a legally binding e-signature. Is Acrobat the best product or even an option for this?

You need to use form fields. See the Acrobat help section and this site: https://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/
However, that last part (receiving an automatic response when a form is submitted) has nothing to do with Acrobat, or even with the PDF file. This is something you'll need to set up on your web (or email) server.

Keyboard without English - do they make em? Deutsch + Russian wanted

Hi,
Does Apple produce USB keyboards, multilingual, but without English?
My uncle needs a German+Russian one.
Is laser engraving of a pure-Deutsch one the only solution?
Do they make Deutsche keyboard without dupe letters on the keys?

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
the German keyboard looks almost exactly like the US one with the exception of the 'Y' and 'Z' keys switched places (giving QWERTZ in the first row)
To my knowledge there is no Russian (kyrillic) version of th keyboard.
Might be good to conatct Apple Russia http://www.apple.com/ru/

Is there such a thing as a 3D flash file?

I have heard this term thrown around but was sceptical if there was such a thing as a 3D flash file. So....is there?
TIA
Dean

You can create 3D things with the newer versions of Flash and there are third party classes such as PApaervison 3D that also provide 3D capabilities for Flash files. So yes, there is such a thing, but I wouldn't say it is called a "3d Flash file". It is just a Flash file that has 3D features designed into it.

Is there such a thing as to much memory for my macbook pro?

I wanted to buy this caddy and install a SSD where my dvd/cd drive is. just curious is there such a thing as to much memory? I dont want to mess up my motherboard or fry anything. The youtube video i saw has a guy swapping out his Dvd/cd drive with a ssd and his macbook pro (which is same model as mine) had no problems just want a second opinion. Right now I have a 730gb HD
this is the link for the caddy.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004XIUQYA?ie=UTF8&tag=shopfaster0c-20&linkCode =shr&camp=213733&creative=393177&creativeASIN=B004XIUQYA&=electronics&qid=135673 8142&sr=1-9&keywords=optical+drive+adapter

If I were you, since you'll want the SSD to be the boot drive, I would install the SSD in the current HD bay and put the spinning drive in the optical bay. MacBook Pros have a preference for the boot drive to be in the main bay and you're just asking for trouble if you install it in the optical bay.
I didn't look at your Amazon link, but I can recommend OWC's Data Doubler - likely higher in price than your Amazon choice, but I don't know of anyone who has had problems with them.
And, no, there's no such thing as too much storage space!
Good luck,
Clinton

Is there such a thing as a byte array

I have an array of chars in my c code which I need to pass an array to from my Java code. I was just wondering what the equivalent is in Java is there such a thing as a byte[]

You have declared param as an int and therefore the compiler notice that the assignment to that byte array may result in loss of some bits. To prevent the warning you need to do an explicit cast to byte:
m_writeBuffer[0] = (byte)(param>>8);
m_writeBuffer[1] = (byte)(param & 0x00FF);Not that you would have to do the same even if param was declared as byte because java performs all operation on bytes as int.

Do they make such a thing?
