Locate, identify and delete/disable a remote sharer/user

How can I locate, identify and delete/disable a remote user?
I have already disabled guest account, disabled and locked share files etc.yet I still suspect they are accesssing my hard drive and internet.
I also want to know if it is possible to find a username of the remote user on my hard drive that can possibly identify them?
Thank you

Thanks Eric, i have turned on the firewall recently, and after your advice just checked the terminal. As I had to re-install OS X Ia am the only user in history, But that is Useful to know for the future. At times, when I open security, share or accounts in System Preferences I find the padlock unlocked. Especially of late when I am very mindful of double checking they are locked before I close down that window.
I Suspect an ex friend who is a workmate accessed my computer or took my original start-up disks, then returned without knowing, is there any way of knowing if they have access on their computer from using those discs somehow? I Know it sounds all too 'conspiracy theory', lol, but it is something I've had brought to my attention.
Thanks, your advice is appreciated

How can I identify and delete duplicate photos

is there a way to identify and delete duplicate photo's in I photo?

No one is suggesting that you download third party "crap". What was suggested is that you download a well established and supported 3rd party application. As to why there isn't a "'delete your stupid duplicate photo' option", you'll need to ask Apple that. Apple aren't here. This forum is for Users to help other Users. As to why you import stupid photos, you'll need to ask yourself.

How can I identify and delete duplicates on the latest version of itunes?

How can I identify and delete duplicates on the lastest version of iTunes?

The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library. Note that, as with the iTunes feature, this list makes no distinction between "originals" and "dupes", you have to decide which is which.
There is also my DeDuper script for automatically removing duplicate copies but keeping one remaining copy of each set. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.
If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send the others to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file. Same advice to backup applies.

How to identify and delete objects after failure of registering XML schema

Hi,
I have tried to register a XML schema with many global elements but failed.
I have checked the view DBA_XML_SCHEMA and found that there is an entry for this failed XML schema and the disk spaces would not be freed after the failure of registration as well.
I have tried DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.deleteSchema() with DELETE_CASCADE_FORCE but failed with ORA-31000: Resource is not XDB document.
How can I identify and delete the objects for this failed XML schema and free up the disk space ?
I would not prefer to use 'DROP USER ... CASCADE' since there are other objects owned by this user.
Thanks in advance.

you can get them from user_objects.
but you have to identify them manuallly if your schema has other objects other then created by the xml schema creation process.
Note these objects will be cases senistitive. so you should enclose them with double quotes during deletion.

Here are some general tips to keep your Mac's hard drive trim and slim as possible
You should never, EVER let a computer hard drive, or other main Mac storage medium, get completely full, EVER!
With Macs and OS X, you shouldn't let the hard drive get below 15 GBs or less of free data space.
If it does, it's time for some hard drive housecleaning.
Follow some of my tips for cleaning out, deleting and archiving data from your Mac's internal hard drive.
Have you emptied your Mac's Trash icon in the Dock?
If you use iPhoto or Aperture, both have its own trash that needs to be emptied, also.
If you store images in other locations other than iPhoto, then you will have to weed through these to determine what to archive and what to delete.
If you are an iMovie/Final Cut user, both of these apps have their own individual Trash location that needs to be emptied, too!
If you use Apple Mail app, Apple Mail also has its own trash area that needs to be emptied, too!
Delete any old or no longer needed emails and/or archive to disc, flash drives or external hard drive, older emails you want to save.
Look through your other Mailboxes and other Mail categories to see If there is other mail you can archive and/or delete.
STAY AWAY FROM DELETING ANY FILES FROM OS X SYSTEM FOLDER!
Look through your Documents folder and delete any type of old useless type files like "Read Me" type files.
Again, archive to disc, flash drives, ext. hard drives or delete any old documents you no longer use or immediately need.
Look in your Applications folder, if you have applications you haven't used in a long time, if the app doesn't have a dedicated uninstaller, then you can simply drag it into the OS X Trash icon. IF the application has an uninstaller app, then use it to completely delete the app from your Mac.
To find other large files, download an app called Omni Disk Sweeper.
http://www.omnigroup.com/more
Download an app called OnyX for your version of OS X.
http://www.titanium.free.fr/downloadonyx.php
When you install and launch it, let it do its initial automatic tests, then go to the cleaning and maintenance tabs and run the maintenance tabs that let OnyX clean out all web browser cache files, web browser histories, system cache files, delete old error log files.
Typically, iTunes and iPhoto libraries are the biggest users of HD space.
move these files/data off of your internal drive to the external hard drive and deleted off of the internal hard drive.
If you have any other large folders of personal data or projects, these should be archived or moved, also, to the optical discs, flash drives or external hard drive and then either archived to disc and/or deleted off your internal hard drive.

Command or script to identify and delete the bitlocker partition

I am looking for some command or script to identify the bitlocker partition and delete it. Please let me know if anybody has any suggestions.

Hi,
I just want to know why you want to delete the BitLocker partition? If you mean the system reserved partition, it is not recommended to do like this, this partition contains not only the BitLocker component, but also the boot files. Deleting it would lead
into system startup failure.

In Photos - how do I identify and delete photos only on my iphone after upgrading to photos?

Upgraded to photos yesterday. Connected iphone to mac. IPhone in the sidebar shows 342 photos "already imported". I would like to delete those photos on my iphone (as they are already in photos) but cannot see how to do so on either my mac or phone.
Secondary Q - What does the "open Photos for this device" checkbox do?
Thank you.

I don't see an easy way to delete previously imported items, but these step worked for me. Be careful to make sure you do have copies of all these photos before you decide to delete them again!
1. Check the 'Delete items after import'.
2. REIMPORT all the 'Already imported' items.
3. Open the 'Last Import' album, and delete all those photos.
For your Secondary question, when the "Open Photos for this device" box is checked, that means when you plug in that iPhone, the Photos app will open up automatically.

How do I identify and delete duplicates from itunes?

Try as I might I cant figure it out. Googling tells me nothing.

I understand that i can manually delete duplicates one by one. Is there a way to automate the process? I have an extensive library that is full of duplicates.
The problem you may face with pursuing automated approaches is that the dupicate check occurs on the basis of song title alone. Automating the removal would have it choosing between different versions of the same song - when you may actually want both since they aren't true duplicates.
Examples:
One is "unplugged" and the other is electric
One is the studio version and the other is live
One is the original version and the other is remastered
One approach to delte multiple ones is to change the sort to being a manner that makes true duplicates more evident. (Album by artist, or date, date added, or whatever makes sense for your library.)
Then you could paint multiple ones and delete them at once. (Select the first one, hold the shift key, then select the last one that you want to delete. Then press the delete or backspace key)
You will likely have to do this more than once, but it should/may reduce the amount of manual actions while avoiding the concern of songs misperceived as duplicate being deleted.

How can i set the "Keep the following number of major versions" to a limit suppose 20 and then disable it from the users so that they cannot change the value?

I want to set the value of "Keep the following number of major versions" in the versiong settings of a documnet library to a limit say 20 and then disable the option from the users so that they cannot them. Is it possible thorugh some custom coding?

Hi Moumita10,
Just curious about that how the custom CSS code works in your environment if put it in the “LstSetng.aspx” page.
In my environment, it hides the "Keep the following number of major versions" setting in the “LstSetng.aspx”
page after applying the custom CSS style there.
Thanks

Is there a location aware wifi option (or app) that enables wifi at a specific location (home) and automatically disables it when you are away from the specified location?

I manually turn off my wifi when leaving home for several reasons:
1. I don't want my wifi to be on and constantly scanning wifi networks while I am away from home due to privacy reasons. Many retail stores and airports are now tracking users based on their smartphone's wifi pings. They can then store your phone's MAC address (the unique identifier of your phone) to determine how often you visit the store and where you go within the store. It's just a matter of time before they match up your phone's MAC address with your credit card/payment info and then to your identity. The only way to subvert this is to turn off your phone's wifi.
2. For security reasons: Wifi access points can track devices that broadcast their wifi signal, even if they don't ever actually connect to the access point's network. These access points can then store your device's details including your phone's MAC address. Once your phone's MAC address is discovered, it can be targeted by a hacker. In addition, there are multiple well known hacker tools that can be used to scan for smartphone wifi signals in order to detect and then hack your iphone. Bottom line: if your wifi is discoverable, then your device is hackable.
3. I believe it would save battery life if the iphone's wifi is not on and constantly scanning for networks all the time.
There are other reasons as well, but the above are my 3 main reasons for asking about this.
The reminders app is location aware - you can set reminders to alert you when you are at a specific location. So, why not provide the option (or an app) to only enable wifi when you are at home - or any other location where you have an authorized or trusted wifi?
As it is right now, the iphone's wifi is broadcasting 24/7 everywhere you go. Not great for privacy & security. When I turn off my wifi, the phone uses my 4G plan for data and GPS for location services... so wifi is not needed at all for data or location services while I am away from home (and no, wifi does not improve location accuracy, that is a fallacy... there is nothing within the wifi protocol that could ever improve location accuracy). But the point is, wifi should have a location aware option. Otherwise, it's just a matter of time before there is a headline story about how not having this feature is a huge security/privacy problem.

Understood. However, the point that I'm trying to make is that it's not the WiFi access point's security that's in question, it's having your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode that's in question. It's simple: if your phone's WiFi is on, then it is both discoverable and hackable... even when it's not connected to a WiFi network or access point. Here's an article about a drone in London that was created to hack smartphone WiFi signals (and hackers have been doing what this drone does for years):
http://money.cnn.com/2014/03/20/technology/security/drone-phone/
The point is that it's not secure to have your phone's WiFi in an always-on mode. It would be better for privacy and security if Apple made WiFi location aware so that it is only enabled when you are at a trusted location (e.g. your home or office). Or, at least give us the option of location aware WiFi so that each user can determine the best mode for their phone:
(1) Always-On (current default - not secure and many privacy issues).
(2) Trusted mode (only on at trusted locations).
(3) Off.

Is there a way to delete all duplicates, other than one by one? some free program or does itunes have one to just identify and delete all duplicates in the library?

How do I delete duplicates in my library as a group, rather than one by one?

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here... HT2905: How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

How do you identify and delete constraints

Within my container, i have 3 unique constraints that are not associated to any tables. They remain there after 3 tables were deleted from the repository.
Anyway that asside, I would like to know how I can:
a) find these 3 constraints
and
b) delete them from the repository
Regards
P.S all 3 of them start SYSC00
Duncan

Hi,
I think it should be possible to find these unique key constraints in the view CI_UNIQUE_KEY_CONSTRAINTS (in the scheme of the repository owner).
But, when you see the columns in CI_UNIQUE_KEY_CONSTRAINTS, you'll notice that the reference to a table is mandatory. That means that a unique key is always associated to a table (which sounds quite logical to me).
Hopefully you are able to track down these unique key constraints from the repository.
