HT4528 Iphone hacked and remotely controlled on yahoo mobile site

I went to the yahoo mobile site on my iphone 4S through safari and someone took over the key board and started typing into the yahoo search field a message really fast. My i phone is not jail broken that I know of. I have not seen any sms with square text.
What can I do?

Thanks KiltedTim,
I shut off my phone before I saw the end of the ad. I am glad you responded because I would not have turned on my phone and gone back to yahoo's mobile site.
My first reaction to seeing someone take over my phone was hacker,,, not ghost.
It seems obvious to me that many others will react the same way to that ad. Unfortunatly, others might jump to the conclusion they need to protect their identities and take drastic and damaging actions like clearing their phones, and changing credit information bacause of an ad that (in my opinion) was not thought out very well.
This seems like something bound to end up in a lawsuit.

Use 2nd gen apple tv and remote control app on iphones and ipad. We can control some functions on the apple tv but unable to purchase, access such controls as reset, restart, turn off home sharing, etc. Home sharing stuck on old apple ID. Please help.

That is why I said to restore via iTunes, did you check the link?
This will put it back to factory settings and you can set it up with the new ID once you reconnect with your HDTV. This is not done via ethernet, as per the link you need to connect to the computer via micro usb. You cannot bypass home sharing.
FYI: An Apple ID cannot be deleted so the old one would still exist (even if you no longer use the email account it is associated with).

Hacker achieved remote control using Trojan

A few days ago a hacker took remote control of my MacBook Pro. The person was closing windows and trying to navigate to other areas. Fortunately I caught it, disabled my network connection. I'm running OS X 10.5.6. I read about this as a known vulnerability, where the Trojan is included in a download file, and a hole in AppleScript security allows them to take control as root. I did the recommended work around, which is:
Go to System Preferences
Enable Remote Management
Go to Options and disable all items
I also changed my root password, just in case they already had this.
I wanted to let others know about this, as it was very real and could affect others.

The explanation may be more banal than it appears. You were on a network and somebody else was accessing your computer. You probably had "Sharing" turned on, or some of things you can set in "Sharing" (System Preferences). The other person was probably on the same network as you, and was playing around to see who else's computer he could see, and then trying out a few things.
I would discount the idea that this was a remote hacker or a Trojan, more like a neighbour, a kid, or a co-worker.
I play around myself sometimes to see who else's computer is visible on a network, and what I can do. You'd be surprised how careless some people are.
The thing that puzzles me is why Apple seems to leave "sharing" on by default. This is surely a dangerous thing to do?

Unplugging all network devices from Fios router prevents DVR freezing and remote control lock ups.

All,
I recently had a Verizon tech visit my house due to constant DVR and remote control freezing. TV content was freezing whether it was locally recorded, pulled from another DVR in the house, or On Demand. On a hunch after the tech tested everything and was about to leave, he unplugged my gigabit switch from the Fios router. Lo and behold everything started running perfectly. Since to the tech, the problem was solved, he closed the case and was on his way. The probem is of course I have more devices than the built in router switch provides ports for. My network is compised of an 8 port Netgear gigabit switch downstream from the Fios router with two wireless access points (with their own built in gigbait switches) connecting to the Netgear gigabit switch. There are no loops in the switch topology. I've tried changing out the router, the gigabit switch, removing the wireless acces points individually as well as plugging the access points directly into the Fios router switch (one at a time with no Netgear switch in the middle) and all scenarious cause the DVR/remote control freeezing to come back. The only devices I can plug into the Fios router without causing freezes are PC's....anything with it's own switch essentially brings the network to it's knees. If anyone has an idea how to get my network back in one piece AND make the DVR's/remotes behave, I'd greatly appreciate the help!
My Fios equipment:
MI-424WR GEN-3I rev I (eye) running firmware 40.19.36
5 Motorola HD-DVRs all QIP 7232-2 running software release 1.9.1 platform build 25.39 (Oct. 22, 2012)
Specific config:
75/35 Fios connecting via ethernet from ONT. Set-top boxes connect to Fios router coax port via powered splitter.
*All SNR/dB mesasurements taken by the tech from the set-top boxes and router are well within spec.
Fios router provides DHCP addressing. Wireless N access points are configured for roaming with the same SSID and non-overlapping channels. Access points are not providing routing or IP adressing...all layer 3 and up services still provided by Fios router

I am inclined to echo several of the "tns" comments, particularly with respect to your splitter. My layout is based on a standard 8-port splitter of the type usually supplied in a VZ install. In addition I do have a ChannelPlus device that functions as a powered splitter, but its use is limited to distribution of secondary TV signals to older analog TVs. My first point then is that this may be an offender as "tns" has suggested.
In addition, I'd describe your wiring as "non-standard" (red-colored items in the above diagram)  As you're no doubt aware, with 75/35 you don't really need Cat5e from the ONT (your original diagram). It seems the highest tiers do require it, but in "standard" installations this run is coax directly to an 8-port non-powered splitter (below diagram), then from that splitter via coax to all STBs and CableCards, other TVs, et.), and also to the Actiontec.   Subsequent feeds from the Actiontec to wired devices (including WAPs) are via Ethernet (typically Cat 5e).
In fact I don't immediately see how your STBs get additional services such as On Demand and IMG with the wiring shown in your diagram (perhaps someone can help me out here). In "standard" installs the Actiontec must be connected via coax to the ONT to provide such services to other network clients. I don't see that requirement being met here.
For starters I'd recommend that you change your service from WAN Ethernet to WAN coax. This can easily be accomplished over the telephone. Then I'd run coax directly from the ONT to the Actiontec as in my revised diagram below (blue-colored items). If your setup can manage with this arrangement, I think it will help greatly with the "freezing" issue.

Subsequent Note: You provided additional info while I was composing a response, and I'd like to offer another comment. Structured wiring "panels" of the type usually available are pre-configured to provide data, phone and video. This usually means that one is in certain respects limited by the ideas of the panel designer. I have what can be called a structured wiring layout, but it really is composed of individual small custom networks for each service (automation, security, video, data, telco, etc.), configured so that all wiring terminates in "home run" fashion at a central panel (a few details here: http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Home-Networking/Cmon-Show-Us-Your-Network/m-p/481733#M765 ). This layout makes it easier to make adjustments (and there have been quite a few over the intervening years). I'm thinking that in your case you may have to abandon the powered splitter (presumably) built into the panel in order to avoid your present fix.
Subsequent Subsequent Note:   From your description it seems that you are using more than a single "whole house" DVR to supply programming to other devices. This is a bit puzzling to me because somewhere along the line I recall reading that only a single whole house DVR was allowed on the network. Can you elaborate a bit?

Fingerprint and remote control supported on Satellite P100-387

Does p100-387 have a fingerprint and remote control? Please, somebody answer me.
Thanks.

Hi
In my knowledge the Satellite P100-387 does not support the fingerprint reader and is not delivered with remote control.
But you are right.
The fingerprint and remote control are optional and some notebooks from the P100 series support the fingerprint reader and are delivered with remote control.
I found also this site with the hardware specification of P100-387:

After updating my iphone 3G and my ipodtouch 3G ios5, universal dock and remote control doesn´t work

After updating my iphone 3G and my ipotouch 3G with ios5, the apple remote controls (the white and the aluminium one) doesn´t react when iphone or ipod are docked at the universal dock. The remote controls both still work with my Macbook, therefore it must be a problem with the dock. I have tried to connect both with the dock (Menu + left for 6 seconds) but it doesn´t help. Further the volume control doesn´t react on the iphone and the ipod when they are docked. Neither the one on the touchscreen nor the buttons. The day before the update everything was fine. Anyone any idea?
Thanks!

Look at the previous posts on the right under the heading: "More Like This". I appears that others are having the same problem.

How can I use my Iphone as a remote control?

How can I use my Iphone 6 as a remote control?

If you are referring to an Apple TV or iTunes remote control then download the "Remote" app from the app store.
If you are referring to a remote control for your TV, Cable box, DVD Player etc then you cannot use your iPhone as a remote for these things unless they are wifi connected and have a remote control app on the app store.

Can I use iphone as tv remote control

Device not working after updating from 8 to 8.1: SMK Ehome Infrared Transceiver and remote control (usb)

Hi all,
An excellent 2015 to you all.
I wonder whether it's possible to get my (USB) SMK Ehome Infrared transceiver (which serves to connect my PC to a remote control) to work again. It functioned okay under Windows 8, but when I upgraded my system to Windows 8.1 it didn't respond anymore.
How's that possible? And do you have any ideas how I can resolve this?
I use the remote control to start and stop videos and to adjust the sound volume.
What I have done already:
-disabled and enabled the consumer IR devices under 'HID devices' in device management.
-disabled and enabled the USB controller for the Ehome Infrared Receiver.
No luck so far. Anybody knows what to do?
Cheers,
Peter

Hi,
What is the driver status in device manager? Have you tried to manually download the right version driver for Windows 8.1 from the transceiver's manufacture website and install it in your system?
Meanwhile, please run services.msc to launch services manager, then scroll down to "Human Interface Device Access service", make sure the service is "started" to "manual" or "automatic", test the issue again.
Yolanda Zhu
TechNet Community Support
Thanks, Yolanda Zhu. There is no driver on the manufacturer's website, but the driver is included from Windows versions XP to 8 and the device responds as expected under these OS Versions. In Windows 8.1 it seems also to be included, and device manager
indicates under Human Interface Devices that the 'Microsoft eHome infra transceiver' driver functions correctly and under
Universal Serial Bus controllers that 'eHome infrared receiver' (USBCIR) functions correctly as well. But when I press the remote, the red LED blinks, but nothing else happens.
The "Human Interface Device Service" is set to automatic and is being executed.
Can it be that the mapping ('action on remote' to 'action on PC') is lost somehow?
Cheers,
Peter AKA Django

BT Vision Box and Remote Control not working prope...

Hi,
Can anybody help me please?
I have a black BT Vision Box. The remote control had increasingly been sticking so tonight I just turned the power off tonight, left it off for 20 seconds and turned it back on.
It seemed to turn back on and reboot itself normally, it took the amount of time it normally does on a couple of occasions when it froze a few months back. However since I rebooted it approximately 3 hours ago it has been turning itself off and rebooting itself every 10 minutes or so. On one occasion when I turned it off on the front of the machine and left it for a few minutes, it turned itself on and started rebooting itself again.
The remote control is worse than when it was sticking, now there is a delay of up to 30 seconds after I press a button. Sometimes it does not work at all, when that happens it just becomes stuck and eventually reboots itself.
So far I have tried turning it off and on again, I have also tried rebooting the internet connection (which is working fine). I have tried pressing the off button on the actual box for 10 seconds and resetting it that way. I have put new batteries in the remote. Nothing has worked. If anyone can help me that would be great.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi,
Unfortunately I can't get that far now.
I turned all TV related systems off last night in an effort to see if it would work properly today.
I came home from work and turned everything on. The system boots itself up until it gets to a grey screen that says "Nearly there..." with the BT logo in the bottom right corner. It stays like that for approximately one minute. Then it turns itself off and starts rebooting itself again.
I have tried pressing the on/off button on the front of the box and holding it in for 10 secs or so until the box turns itself off and reboots but the effect is still the same as above.
Do you have any other suggestions pleaase, aside from throwing it in the bin?

Can't adust the volume using keyboard and remote control

Hi
i have macbook Pro like two weeks and a strange thing happened today. I just can not adjust volume up or down using the F3 F4 F5 keys, must go to preferences and adjust manually. The apple remote control does not change the volme neither. When pressing the relevant key the pop up window appears but nothing happens it does not react and a small not available - restricted icon appears in the bottom of pop up. Please help.

Reset PRAM:
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound (bong) for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

Memory and Remote Control Troubles Encore CS4

Hi again After a week I have not seen any solution (or cause to my problem and hope perhaps someone will have some tips for me. So I copy my last new post and keep my fingers crossed! ( I think I read somewhere this is the way to go about - reposting)
I just finished reading threads re memory problem with encore. Some from 2008! I'm using files I have created in PPcs4 with AVCHD clips exported as media to give me .avi files that I use to make a dvd in Encore. Usually it goes all well only for one thing my remote control end product does not work as it should at all, yes I still can play back the whole DVD and even go from one chapter to the next but not really choose and not with the menu on screen.
So that is where the next trouble arises as I try to get the remote control in the pannel preview to work. After only a few changes in the button routing trying the preview will get me the insufficient memory warning. It does not really crash, the preview may freeze but I can terminate it and try again. But from then on it's "go slow" to no where I read Bill H's entry about page filing and tried a few things I have 8gb ram so used one of my TB and allocated this x3 in virtual memory. I don't really understand what I'm doing, just tried to follow some instructions. but this did not make any difference at all. I also have asked my system (W7 4gb ram i5 intel and plenty of HD realestate) to optimise for best performance. So my Desktop is now looking a little pale! Still to no joy.
My other trouble which seems related is this darn remote control. I can't get it working I used it in pp2 suite I can't quite remember how it was but it worked. Here in CS 4 all I can see is a slight highlight when I hover over it but it does not seem to respond. I've been to so many searches but none seem to respond to "enable preview remote control" or anything around this meaning. So as long as I can't use it in the pgr as long it will not be correct on my dvd!
I have not used Mpg and can see my Audio timeline the same length as my Video
I just imported such a file in a new project chose a preset menu (Before I used a blank menu and created buttons on a jpeg), made 3 chapters linked correctly (my Build /check did not return any error) but still unable to use the remote control, It's ok with the mouse till I try a little more and I get a memory problem.
PS I always had a memory problem but not related to computers! I feel a little embarrassed that I have not been able to solve this after so much time spent on it and hope some one may have an answer. Thank you
I have not been through defrag and turning everything else off as I worked in PP with nil such problem and thought I gave PP a harder job with my hd clips, titles, added audio. Perhaps I'm quite wrong.
I also remember reading about someone who's remote control would work ok on 4:3 ratio but not on wide, so I tried both to no avail in my case.
Ok I'll go quiet
PS: I also added that i did go through defrag and found it was not needed. as I suspected I had lots of room. (i5 8gb ram, 2X1tb hd external 1/2 tb )
I'm aware and do appreciate that people who give help on forum are doing it on a voluntary basis using their own time and am very thankful for it.

Thank you Stan. It's not going too well, first I tried to capture the screen (I have 2 monitors) and it gave me a lot of trouble unlike yesterday, (it kept capturing the wrong screen although Encore was the one activated) and I ended with a black and white screen?
Then my memory error became worse. I turned the internet off and lots of processes with no improvement. Anyway here is what I got about routing.I wonder why it's a gif image I saved it for the web. Actually these buttons weren't routed anymore and had a zero on most branches (arrows) - Hmm I can see "Sunpeak" with such zeros here! I don't know what happened but even "play All" was routed to "Banff" at the bottom right that is 1 to 2. before I took the screen shot. I might have to try with a conventional lay out menu button. This is difficult with all my memory crashes. I looked at quite a few threads to optimise but many relate more to AE that has a memory setting in Preferences. (actually, as a trial, I even allocated 5 gb ram for other application from AE that I don't even use, but to no avail)
I definitely routed each button 1to 8 but here it's not anymore the way it was! And I'm sure I save it after doing so.
I'll give it another go but not sure when.

pls help

Yes i used the cocktail compaitble with leopard. the system appears to be working fine now but before that it displayed temp madness.
i tried to reset the system with cmdopt+PR, it took 2 mins for it to realize i was even pressing the keyboard when it finally did the fan went full power for a couple of seconds (the ambient light still on) and the system shut down. i tried to start it up again it will make the startup noise then shutdown i did that 5 times until i removed all the cables connected to it before it came back on. it started got to the desktop but 2 hardware's were disabled, USB's ports and the audio driver had to restart again.
now i am afraid to shut it down.

PDA and remote control

Hello,
I am attempting to use a PDA to remotely control a computer. However I am getting errors such as "property node 'Property Node': Not supported for current target".
Another error I am running into the the inability to execute subVIs.
Let me know if I should provide additional information.

Hi Thejoeblack,
Thanks for contacting National Instruments. I've been looking into your question about using a PDA and I have a suggestion for you. First off, are you just getting started with the PDA? If so, then I would suggest searching in Help>>Find Examples for "PDA." Here you can find some good examples that I think will help you out. One in particular is entitled "PDA Tutorial-Pocket PC." I would suggest looking at this example and the Getting Started Guide located on your computer under Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>LabVIEW>>LabVIEW Manuals. I hope some of this helps and please feel free to reply if you still have some questions. Thanks!
