How can I keep track of which users use which machines

Hello!
I'm notice that we have one machine in our labs that is constantly getting the keyboard damaged by one of the students. We use an Open Directory system to allow the students to log into any available machine, but how can I log which users are using that particular machine??
Thanks!

How can I keep tracks playing when I'm browsing?

There must be an obvious answer to this question, but I don't know what it is.
If I'm playing an album, but then start to browse somewhere else (as one would do if listening to a CD), the music will stop after the track has finished, and not go on to the next track. (because the tracks are no longer in the browser window)
How can I keep playing what I want, in the order that I want, while I am browsing other music?
Thanks

I find this to be a problem as well, especially since I know I was able to work with iTunes this way before I installed iTunes 7.3?
I'm reading some other posts which suggest that being able to play tracks from an library subset (genre, album, artist) AND browse other playlists at the same time was never a feature of iTunes.
Since I know I'm not imagining that I used to use iTunes quite happily, I'm wondering is there an option in 7.3 that I'm not paying attention to?
It seems crazy not to be able to do this.

I couldn't find the "Reload Page" icon and went to "Customize" found it and moved it to the top tool bar but when I clicked "Done" it dissapeared. It won't stay visible. How can I keep it there for my use?

I have V6 of Firefox and never had to worry about the "Reload Page" icon before so when I upgraded to V6 I was sorry to see that it was gone. Also the "Page Back" arrow isn't lit up and won't work. I have to go to the history and go back using that.. what happened to the back arrow? Now there are 2 clicks instead of one?
I went to the "customize Toolbar" and moved the "reload Page" icon back to the top and it disappeared when I was done. How can I keep the "Reload Page" visible and useful?

You see the orange (on Linux gray) Firefox button if the Menu Bar is hidden (View > Toolbars > Customize or right-click a toolbar).<br />
If you need to access the hidden Menu bar then press F10 or hold down the Alt key to make the Menu Bar appear temporarily.<br />
You only see the Bookmarks menu button if the Menu bar is hidden.

How to determine which user uses which database-object

Hi,
currently we are in the process of consolidating our databases. One of the neccessary steps is to figure out which user connects to the database at all. That's easy, we implemented a logon-trigger and log the collected information into a separate table.
If a user with objects (e.g. tables, views, procedures) exists - but this user never connects to the database - does that automatically mean that these objects are not used at all? No need to say that this is not true. But how can we figure out if a connected user has selected an object of this user?
Our porblem is that we have alot of schemas in our database - but the developers don't know if this schema is not used by an application or not (sad but true).
To enable auditing would be one choice to figure out if an object was ever used or not.
Are there any other possibilities?
Any help will be appricated

Even though audit may have a footprint on performance, that would probably be less costly than any custom solution.

How can I keep windows in front while using other apps?

I want to keep a Preview window in front of all windows while I work in photoshop, how can I do that? I know it is possible, because I saw an artist do it on youtube. He had his references opened up in Preview, while working photohsop, and the Preview window some how stays above the Photoshop window. I know I can just have them side by side by using photoshop in window mode, and shtinking it into a half sized window, but I have porblem rotating the canvas and it is just to small to work when it is like that. He mangaed to use phoshop in full window mode (fills the whole screen) and still have his preview window stay in front. I asked him but I got no reply. So I was hoping some here would know.

Yeah, I was also using Afloat before updating to Lion, but now it seems it is not compatible anymore. Mac should have that function (keep a window on top) built in - such an easy thing and so helpful, much more than all claimed "productivity" apps etc. Linux has it since always...

How can i restore an iphoto library without using time machine

I somehow created a new iphoto library and my old one was deleted and wasn't saved using time machine. Is there any way i can get my old library back. Please help!!!

The dock icon always enters the last IPHOTO library opened - so all may not be lost ..
Look in Macintosh HD/Users/*your name on your mac/Pictures
iPhoto Library is the default - if you have another iPhoto library with some extension that may be the new one -- so simply click on iPhoto to reset the dock icon.
If you use time machine - and the Iphoto library is empty - Enter time machine while in this folder and back up through time until you find the last one with pictures.

How can I back up only selected files using Time Machine?

I'm a graphic designer, I use a number of Time Capsules to periodically back up my entire computer. But I also want to set up another Time Capsule (bus powered external hard drive) that will continually run as I work and only back up a single folder and all it's sub folders - in this case a folder called 'Client Files'.
QUESTION: How do I use Time Machine to back up only my 'Client Files' folder and all it's sub folders?

Frankly, this is probably not worth the time and trouble that it will take to set it up.
Time Machine backs up your entire Mac by default.
Time Machine Preferences / Options gives you the ability to Exclude items from backup, so to do what you want, you basically will have to Exclude everything else on the Mac from being backed up. That is going to be quite a task depending on where your Client Files folder resides and you have your Finder files set up.
It will not be that difficult to Exclude major folders..... things like Applicatons, Pictures, Music, Documents, etc.....but to get to the point where you want may not be that easy.
Take a look at things by opening Time Machine Preferences, then click on Options
Since you will be adding items to be Excluded, you would need to click the + button at the bottom of the window and then navigate to find the general folder that you want to Exclude.
Unfortunately, you cannot simply tell Time Machine to only back up the items that you want.....you have to tell Time Machine what NOT to back up.....which is going to be most of your Mac.
And.....whatever you set up in Time Machine /Options to be Excluded will apply to all backups to all Time Capsules. You cannot specify what is Excluded on one Time Capsule and not another. It's all or nothing. Not what you want to do, I am sure.
Good luck

Hi user,
As long as youhave access to the linux sever from your windows server, you're good to go. Open your admin tool, go to File --> Open --> Offline.
The Open window pops up. On the "File Name" field, enter the path of rpd file in the linux server (Ex: \\Server_Name\local\MyRpd.rpd). Select the file, and voilà!
I hope this helps.

How can you keep the file name when using "Download Linked File As..."?

I'm a longtime PC user finally making the transition to Mac. Some of the tasks that seemed so simple in Windows have really stumped me! One of the tasks I do frequently is download files into specific folders. After much looking, I finally found the "Download Linked File As..." option if I right-click on the download link. The problem is, when I choose this option, I lose the file name. I get a window in which I can choose the desired folder, but the filename is always "0". If I want to keep the filename (and I usually do), I have to type it in manually. Is there anyway around this?

You can post a screen shot by clicking on the liitle Camera icon above your reply. :)
Just checked on 10.7.4+, still the same, something is borked about your install, to see if we need to re-install...
To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
Open System Preferences>Accounts, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
Does it work in the new account?

How can I keep pages from scrolling when using keyboard page-down

The bottom of the pages window has a gear. You can select "Page" in the drop down menu and click the arrow, to perform a page down. The new page is positioned exactly like the previous page. But when I type fn+down-arrow or cmd+down arrow the new page view is either higher or lower than the previous page. Resizing the window makes it almost possible to get a consistent page display but not quite. It's awkward trying to read a document when each new page jumps to a new position. The arrow next to the gear is the only solution I've found.
Does anyone know a way to achieve this page down view using just the keyboard. I'm using the iMac wireless keyboard?
Thanks,
Mark

It is an annoyance, due to the 2 meaning two different things.
The page down key means the whole window view which is not the physical page that you see in Pages.
Apple could have clarified it by labelling the key +window down/up.+

How do I keep track of stats and subscriptions of my podcast? Mine was just added today.

My podcast, The Big Seance Podcast, was just added to iTunes today. Other than keeping track of stats through my host (Libsyn), how can I keep track of subscriptions, ratings, and downloads through itunes? Thanks!

Hi Patrick,
You will not get any stats from Apple / iTunes. You need to get that info from your libsyn account.
If you want to see the number of people consuming via iTunes or the Podcasts App (AppleCoreMedia) - you will need to have the advanced stats - App 400 or greater level account in Libsyn.
That is the only way to get the info you are looking for.

How to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in

Hi All,
I have basic knowledge of Session and Servlets. I am wondering how to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in. There should be some way of achieving it.
I thought of it and come up with having an Application variable that hold it when ever a user successfully logged in.
Thanks in advance for any reply.

You can do this by keeping data in a static veriable in a some class of yours. The variable will need to be a collection.
Whenever a user loogs in to the site a servlet/jsp should put the users information in to the collection and when logs off or when the session expires the entry should be take off.
You can achive this by storing the velues in a some sort of a week collection where the entries are automaticaly removed when all the other refferences to the entry goes out of scope.
You might need to read bit about java.lang.ref package and WeekReference
Or you can make the entry in the collection contain the last time that the user visited any of the pages and a thread can run time to time and clean up the older entries which have timed out
