Help with privacy on my mac, how to stop prevent people im certain are...

certain individuals are tampering with my comp. and releasing my personal info and its been going on awhile, i just dont know deep into depth with mac how to prevent this, iv noticed when i change a password and think its ok then they will just reset it to no password (mac mail) i believe it has to do with my ip dns proxy settings etc. as im not sure exactly how these should be set up so its only me using my connection, i know also they are in my building that are sharing it, it would be easier if i lived alone lol i know there is a way around this please help! also i have the latest software snow leopard

You're a bit vague on the symptoms of the problem, but there are a few things you should know.
First, if you're using a wireless network, make sure it has WPA encryption (not WEP, and don't even think about no password in your situation!), and make sure that it's protected with a good password. Make it something with a mix of upper and lowercase letters, numbers and even some punctuation. If your wireless network is not protected, there's a lot of data that can be mined from your everyday network traffic by someone nearby who can get access to your network.
Second, does anyone you don't trust have physical access to the machine? If so, you need to run a super-paranoid anti-virus scan. I do not ordinarily recommend [MacScan|http://macscan.securemac.com>, because its paranoid beyond all belief and throws up red flags at some perfectly legit software... but if someone has installed some kind of keylogger or remote access software (something that isn't necessarily classifiable as malware, but is being used for malicious ends), MacScan will probably find it. For the truly paranoid, erasing the hard drive and reinstalling the system from scratch may be a good idea. (Whether this is a good idea or qualifies you for the tin-foil-hat club depends on the maliciousness and technical sophistication of the individual(s) with access to your machine.)
You should also, if someone untrusted has physical access, make sure you use a good password on your admin account and never leave yourself logged in while the machine is unattended. If you come back and your password doesn't work, that person has probably reset your password, and you should immediately consider the machine compromised again. And you should probably encrypt any sensitive data, since an account password can be easily reset and provides no real protection.
Third, make sure that you go to System Preferences -> Sharing and turn everything off. That will ensure there are no doors open for remote attackers.
Finally, with such vague information as you've provided, it's possible the behavior you're seeing may not even involve your Mac at all. If only your online accounts are being compromised, perhaps they have been hacked, and you just need to change the passwords on all of them to something more secure.

I am talking about the icon on the docking row, that's the guy with the smily face. When you click on him it brings up a bunch of files of what I seem to have store/created on my Imac. There are hundreds of emails and some other documents. I tried to delete a few of them when I first got the MS office but it did not like that, it said it have to rebuild oulook. Why cant i delete these files? is this Apple version of Window outlook PST files?
These file extenssions are listed as
olk14_message or even or ccontact. I wish I could send a screen print but I dont see that on the key board. Maybe I should have stuck with windows..
Oh the ...olk14_message's. Do not delete them behind Outlooks back, i.e., from the finder. Those are the various messages that you sent, received, or deleted in Outlook. They are indexed by Outlook so if you delete behind Outlook's back Outlook will get confused trying to access those messages.
You can delete them however using Outlook itself. In outlook select a mailbox (Drafts, Sent Items, Deleted Items, etc.) by clicking on the mailbox on the left. It will show you the messages in that mailbox. You can now select all or selected items in that mailbox. The click the Edit menu and select Delete. You will get a dialog asking if you really want to delete the selections. Answer "Delete" and the messages will get deleted.
The olk14_message's you are seeing are the actual messages shown the Outlook mail boxes. When you actually delete them the way I just described the corresponding olk14_message files will also be deleted.
Note Outlook's Deleted Items mailbox is where all deleted messages go when you click the Delete tool in the Outlook toolbar. Thus using the Delete tool from the toolbar does not permanently delete the messages. So if you been using that for months or years you are going to have a very large Deleted Items mailbox. And every one of those items in there is going to have a corresponding olk14_message file for that message.
So if those olk14_message files you are seeing are from the Deleted Items mailbox you can get rid of all those corresponding olk14_message files by selecting all the messages in Deleted Items and using the Edit menu's Delete.
Alternative ways to the Edit/Delete to do the permanent delete is select (all) the messages to delete and control (right) click to bring up the Outlook contextual menu and select Delete from it.
Finally if you use the Delete tool in the toolbar for messages selected in the Deleted Items mailbox you will be able to permanently delete those too. It's an exception since using the tool on the Deleted Items means there's no place to put those messages except to "oblivion".
So, in summary, using the Delete tool in the toolbar on messages in every mailbox except the Deleted Items mailbox just moves messages to the Deleted Items mailbox. But using the Delete tool on items in them Deleted Items mailbox permanently deletes the selected items in there. And only permanently deleting items removes the corresponding actual ...olk14_message files.

You can make sure that you use Adobe Reader as a PDF Viewer in the browser, although some browsers do not work with Adobe Reader.

After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

After turning an image black and white, how can I color in a certain area?

How did you change it? Did you make your B&W on a separate layer? If so, just erase the part of the layer you don't want, or add a layer mask and paint with black over the parts you want to hide.
If not, then you can copy/paste the original photo (you will need to press ctrl+A/cmd+A to select all before you can copy) into the new image. From there it depends on the relative proportions of B&W. Arrange the two layers so the one with the most area that you want to keep is on top, and either mask out the rest or just erase it away.
For future reference, an easier way to do this when starting from scratch is to use the smart brush. Choose a black and white conversion style, turn on the inverse checkbox and paint over the part you want in color. The rest of the photo turns black and white, leaving what you paint over in the original colors.

Help with OutLook on a Mac

Have a large email trying to go out. It's too large a file I found out. My Outlook for Mac does not have an "OutBox", so I don't know how to cancel or delete. Can you hepl?

if your confused about how i arrived at the 7370.90 is because i have to subtract entries with GCSH on them and i also need to take
entries that are - and applied them to the oldest period if the balance of the period is positive. im inclined to say that i can do this with sql but the only other way i can think of is using plsql?... any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated.
the closest that i have gotten to acomplishing this query without pl is this. i know is lame but i need help.

Hi, Miguel,
I should have mentioned this before: I'm assuming SYSDATE is some point on January 22, 2011, after 00:00. I don't think this has caused any confusion so far, but if the discussion continues for a day or two, let's be clear about that.
I think I see what you want regarding the rows where trraccd+detailcode='GSCH'. If we completly ignored all the GSCH rows, we would get this output:
TRRACC       0-29      30-59      60-89    90-over
400364   ...
400404   19904.97    6625.27    4757.01   67618.68You want GSCH amounts to cancel other amounts in the last column only until that column reaches 0 ; the remaining GSCH amount will cancel amounts in to "60-89" column, again, only until that amount reaches 0 . If there is anything left over, it will cancel amounts in the "30-59" column, and if there is still some left over, the "0-29" column.
To be specific, trraccd_grnt_code=400404 has a total of 72475.69 from GSCH rows. That counts against the "90-over" total.
67618.68 - 72475.69 = -4757.01; you want to dispaly 0 in the "90-over" column, and apply the remaining 4757.01 to the next column to the left.
That column contains 4757.01, which happens to be the exact maount left over from the previous subtraction, so you want to diesplay 0 in the "60-89" column.
The remaining columns to the left should contain their regular totals.
Here's one way to do that:

     SELECT     trraccd_grnt_code

                    WHEN trraccd_detail_code = 'GCSH'     THEN trraccd_amount
                END
              ) OVER (PARTITION BY trraccd_grnt_code)

You can see that it is based on an analytic SUM whose argumenet is an aggregate SUM, all wrapped in LEAST and GREATEST. That can be very hard to underrstand, so break it down. Display the aggregate SUM by itself (period_sum) and also display the analytic SUM, without the GREATEST and LEAST.

would you mind expalining it to me a little.Again, could you be more specific? I don't mind explaining things to you, but I don't want to explain parts you already understand. If something is new, you'll want to read the SQL Language manual, or other sources, anyway, so it's more efficient to do that first, and then post specific questions on this forum.
An example of a more specific question is: "When I looked up "WITH clause" in the SQL Language reference, I found this page:

The query above says ... Is that what the manual is talking about when it says ...?"
Another example of a good question is
"The query you posted says ... I don't understand what that's doing. I looked for ... and ... but that didn't seem to have anything to do with this query. What should I look for?
The Oracle 10 SQL Language manual is indexed pretty poorly. If you can't find something, it may not be your fault.

Help with Gmail IMAP in Mac Mall: Folders transfered from Exchange server

When the account is subsequently imported into Mac Mail it appears that the orgiginal Exhange folder structure holds on the other side, which was my intent. These folders appear in Mail within the Mailboxes>Inbox.
However, there doesn't seem to be a way to insert a new folder into the Gmail IMAP account within the Inbox folder structure. I have successfully created a new "Mailbox" in Mail, but this appears to get inserted into the local version of the Gmail account much lower on the left hand side bar. It seems that I can pick up the "Mailbox" once it is created and move it up into the intended location, but only as a sub-folder. I am not able to promote it to the desired heirarchy or intended location.
Does anyone have any history with this or possibly a fix or suggestion?
Thanks!

My recollection is that unless you are a paid Hotmail account member, you cannot use Mail. Do a search within the discussion group, as I am not an expert, but I recall not getting Hotmail for that very reason.
Perhaps give gmail a try.....
That said....I still need some help with my posting! So please and thank you.

Need help with iMac intel desktop - Mac mail consistently going OFFLINE

I need help with Mac mail - it is frequently going "offline" and requesting me to "take all accounts online". My internet is working. It's been checked, checked and checked. Sometimes it just takes a reboot of the system and the modem to kick it in and make the little triangle symbol go away, but should I have to reboot daily? I have the Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 installed. Is there a bug here or am I supposed to upgrade to Mavericks? Any help is most appreciated.

For me this is an issue caused by my email service provider. When they are slow to respond or to accept the password Mail takes that as a password rejection, and prompts me to reenter password, and eventually goes offline.

When I updated Iphone software and synchronized with MacBook, newest calendar entries were deleted. Other experiences with this? If so, how do I prevent this? I have Iphone 3G

On at least 2 occasions, when I updated Iphone software and synced with MacBook, my newest calendar events were deleted. The information in Ical and on IPhone reverted to an older version of events instead of defaulting to the new information. I know of at least 1 other person who experienced this; is this a common occurrence? What is the reason for it and the remedy? How do I prevent this from happening in the future?

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

Help with privacy

Hello. So my girlfriend and I, well actually just my girlfriend, are having a bit of a privacy problem with Skype. I'm not going to lie but we do use Skype for really really intimate video conversations since we're living far apart at the moment, if you know what I mean. Anyways, this isn't the first time but whenever we do, she gets all these loads of random IM's from random people talking dirty to her and asking her to video chat with them and even calling her. At first, we both thought it was a coincidence and they were just spam bots so I created a new account for her but earlier today, the same thing happened. Oddly enough, the timing was spot on. I had her privacy settings set to the most private; ie she can only receive IM's from contacts, receive calls from contacts, I put her gender as male, input nothing on the information details, etc. Anyways, how are they able to still contact her? Is Skype hacked? Can people see my cam? Please help.
[I'm using a computer to Skype call my girlfriend on her phone.]

It seems that on some Android devices the privacy settings are still not set correctly. We are looking into this right now and hope to come up with a solution.
Meanwhile please double check the privacy settings in your app's settings - best to do this while being logged in from a desktop computer (Windows, Mac, Linux).

Need Help with mysql admin for Mac

Hello all.
I am new to cold fusion and databases all together. Infact I
am doing an online tutorial to get me started, my problem is the
tutorial really just scratches the surface for the mac side and in
some cases sorta explains how to do but no visual help and I am
very visual.
I am searching for software that is really idiot proof to
start my knowledge with then make the transition when I learn more
and more to hard coding. The tutorial suggests Navicat for Mysql
admin and it is nice but he is setting up basic databases in Access
which looks really easy and I am trying to follow along with
navicat but I am just not getting it specifically when it comes to
setting up relationships between tables. Can I use a software like
FileMaker Pro and just convert to mysql or is their other software
that makes it a little more easy to understand how to set up
relationships like access does.
I am totally new to this stuff and I am looking for the
easiest product to use. Thanks again for your help and time.
Chris

As for the database part, before you write your first query,
you should become grounded in the concepts of data modeling. Then
find a good source (book, books-on-line, etc. ) for the particular
"flavor" of SQL used by your database of choice, then start writing
your queries. Data model first (entities, relationships,
attributes), then SQL.
Couple of fairly good online tutorials for data modeling.

Help with elements 11 on mac

im using a mac and elements 11 opens for about 2 seconds then goes away. its in the tool bar on top of the page but no way to edit or organize photots. it's an MAC os x version 10.6.8.
everthing was working fine until recently with leads me to believe i accidently changed a setting on my mac. help please??

How are you starting PSE? The welcome screen, the editor, the organizer? If you were using the welcome screen, even the welcome screen set to open the editor or organizer automatically, don't. Go into the applications folder and launch the component you want from there, then go to the dock once it's running and choose Keep in Dock. Just don't use the welcome screen.
The organizer is easy to find, but the actual editor is hidden away in applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements 11>Support Files:

Need help with flash templates in Mac...

Hello, I did some searches in the forum but found nothing.
I have a problem. I have a Mac and and using Dreamweaver CS5.5.
Recently I download some templates with flash from Hostgator.
The message I get is: "This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them a insert again"
Could you help me please?
Thanks,

Hello,
The support from HostGator.com told me this:
After reading about Adobe Dreamweaver and using the library SWF objects. This seems to be a fairly particular error with Adobe Dreamweaver CS4.
I have read three articles:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2958378?tstart=0
http://www.dreamweaverclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33323
http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=579625
They all concur this error is completely ignorable in some way. If you include the object, and just ignore the message, your content will still upload to your site. This has to do with how adobe has changed the embedding of objects since previous versions.
However, what I can concur from all of this is that you need to simply just re-add the file to your site/library, or just ignore the error message and the embed code should work just fine.
I test a hostgator template with flash on their server, and works fine.
I want to know your opinion. T hanks for your help...

Help with setting up a .mac to aim video chat.

Can anyone tell me how you are to setup your buddy list info, so that a person who's on a AIM account can video chat with a person on a .MAC account. We have tried several ways with AIM address and with .MAC address, but either way they both don't show as available in the buddy list. I though that you should be able to video chat with these accounts. They are compatible, right! Can someone give me the right setup config or the instructions to do so. Thank you very much!
