My computer is being controlled remotely

I bought a Mac Mini, a few months ago. I had this problem initally with my MacBook Pro. My computer behaves completely out of the ordinary, the mouse cursor is not showing what I'd expect. The cursor moves across the screen, I have difficulty clicking on links and scrolling becomes like a bargain, sometimes it does what I want. I haven't installed any other programs, besides the ones on the App Store and I have run a virus scan, with no results.
I believe my computer is being monitored by someone, interrupting me in my work. I think it's some spysystem or regular hack. I'm considering giving up on Apple, if this is the way their Mac's behave. Kinda annoying, I feel like they do this to some folk, not all maybe.

I second the advice gien so far, & it isn't very likely that it's an infection.

What would cause the screen to swith between backgrounds as if it is being controlled remotely? the system had created 7 new folders on it's own.

System is currently switching between mutliple screens without me touching it. The system has created several new folders. The system is performing as if it is being remotely controlled.

How recently did you switch? If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account. The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices. I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices...

OEM GRID CONTROL REMOTE INSTALLATION

Hello Good People,
I am trying to install OEM GRID CONTROL. I have a two RAC node (AIX 5L). I don't have acces to the server so my only option is remote installation.
I was able to ftp the file into a directory on the server but it will not unzip, (error: couldn't find 10g.zp or 10g.ZIP). I uploaded the file as binary.
Okay, I will like to install from my laptop, (xp) using the DVD that I have. I went through the documentation steps below:
1. Make sure that the remote access software is installed and running on the remote and local computers.
2. On the local computer, share the DVD drive.
3. On the remote computer, map a drive letter to the shared DVD drive. You would use the remote access software to do this on the remote computer.
Through the remote access software, run Oracle Universal Installer on the remote computer. You access Oracle Universal Installer from the shared DVD drive.
I am confuse with step 2 downward. How can I map a drive in UNIX or why should I? I am connected to the sever by Telnet.
Any direction or suggestion will be appreciated. Please note that all I want is to remotely install GRID CONTROL on my server from the DVD that I have.
Thanks for your help.......

Based on further researched I discovered that the problem is due to the fact that I don't have an X-Window client install on my local machine. I just install a free trial version (30days). OUI finally started and went through the various checks. Although, the check passed I couldn't continue. It is saying missing some files. I will post the erros messages from the log in a while.
Thanks

You cannot, nor do you need to until you reach the limit of 5. Then you can deauthorize all and authorize only the machines you choose.

How can you tell if your computer is being hacked

We got a call this morning from someone at Microsoft stating that our computer is being hacked. I don't trust this notification.

I'm really glad you didn't fall for it. If you had let them into your computer, they would have stolen all your information. It makes me SO mad.

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps on this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer your questions) then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps on this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5620
Or, if it's available in your country, you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

One of the BizTalk Server processes in the affected computer is being throttled for significant periods because of high database size exceeding the threshold

Hello Experts,
I have complex Biz Talk 2013 farm having 20 servers,15 Hosts. In my production environment even if there is no traffic i am getting throttling errors from SCOM for my all the production hosts.
Error : One of the BizTalk Server processes in the affected computer is being throttled for significant
periods because of high database size exceeding the threshold
I checked following things:
1. MsgBoxDB size 748732 KB
2. Spool table size 53 MB
3. Tracking DB size 26724 KB
4. Host settings -- Message Queue Size = 100, MsgCount = 50000 , Spool MP = 10 , Tracking MP = 10
5. Ran Message Box viewer and did not found any error related to DB size. (which counter i should focus on in MBV)
Note -- for DB i am sharing full backup size because it does not have log file size.
Please suggest where i should focus?
Is SCOM reporting correctly because everything is fine in biztalk ?
Thanks

Hi Yagyam
I remember this error from SCOM when you use the standard SCOM BizTalk pack.
Check the eventlog of the server, do you see any errors in event log, this could give some clue to the root cause. Whenever you have this alert from SCOM, you must have
some entries in eventlog relating to the alert raised by SCOM.
Is your message processing by BizTalk hosts are normal? Run the performance monitor to see the bottleneck. Check if there is really throttling.
As mentioned in this blog, check the state of the SQL Agent on BizTalk's SQL database server, may be try restart the SQL Agent on BizTalk's SQL database server.

Hello Terryfrank,
Congratulations on your new laptop! Also, thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with transferring your iTunes Library to your new computer.
I notice that you are coming from the article “iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer,” and it sounds like you might have used the Home Sharing method outlined in that article.
With Home Sharing, you can stream content from another computer, and it sounds like that is how you have it currently set up. The last step is to import the content to your new computer. Use these steps on the new computer (while the old computer is on) to import the music to your new computer’s hard drive:
Once your new computer sees the Home Share from your old computer, click that Home Share on the left side of iTunes on your new computer.
Select the content in the Home Share that you want to transfer to your iTunes library on your new computer, or choose Edit > Select All to choose all of it. Then, click the Import button in the bottom-right corner of iTunes.
Wait for the content to finish transferring.
Additionally, if you want to transfer your playlists, you can export them from the old computer to the new computer:
Transferring playlists
If you want not only your content but also your playlists to exist on your new computer, you will want to transfer a copy of all your playlists from your old computer. To do this, choose File > Library > Export Library on your old computer. Save the XML file that is created to your desktop.
Send the playlists file to yourself as an e-mail attachment, use an external drive, or use file sharing to move the playlists file to your new computer. Once the file is on your new computer, open iTunes and choose File > Library > Import Playlist. The import process will remove any items from the playlists that you didn't share via Home Sharing.

How do I stop the main volume slider being controlled by external hardware?

Hi
I really want to STOP the main volume slider in Logic 7.2 from being controlled by the main output volume knob of my Novation A-Station (external hardware synth).
How do I just STOP that slider in Logic from responding to ANY midi messages?
Cheers!

Thanks - but i'm not clear on this.
Is there a simple way of just stopping a slider or other control (like PAN for example!) from being controlled by MIDI ? I just want to be able to choose the thing in Logic and tell it "NO!! you will not be controlled by anything other than my mouse!!"
I now notice that another knob on my Edirol Keyboard is controlling the main track PAN in Logic!

Is there any way to control remote and LCD by other app ?

Hi,
I'm still search, how can I control remote and LCD by Girder. Have you any idea ?
Media center III is wery slow, and unstable. I use myHTPC http://myhtpc.net and speed is famous.
Now I use remote keyboard and mouse, but IR remote from MSI is better.

If you find it, let us know:-)
I'm building my own mediacener app. and would like it to support both the remote & the LCD
Its a shame there's no open API for the LCD/remote :-(
MSI please give us an API for the LCD/remote!!!!

You will have to sync it to the new one, erasing the current content from the ipod and replacing it with the content from the new drive.
Make sure you have copied everything from your backup copy of your computer back to the new drive first.
