Question about internet security...please help!

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the macbook's internet security.
A few days ago I became aware that my sibling was using a laptop for internet use at my house which he got from a person that I do not trust. He is very computer-savy and we're worried that he may have installed some form of spy ware on that laptop and in turn, may have tried (or succeeded) in accessing my Macbook through some form of spyware. My house is hooked up with a D-Link wireless router, and at the time, it had no internet/access-password.
So my question is, could this person have accessed my computer and personal information remotely by and through the laptop that my sibling got from him. I was under the impression that Mac's have very strong firewalls, but I have also heard that as long as he knew what he was doing, he could have accessed my computer. I don't have a wireless "network" set up at my house, I just simply use the router for internet. But my sibling told me that this guy was his "network administrator" which leads me to believe that he must have had remote access to the laptop.
Can anyone with knowledge on this problem please weigh in and let me know what I need to do to confirm that no one has accessed anything from my macbook.
Thanks!

One option if you want to be extra safe is turning on FileVault (System Preferences -> Security), which will encrypt everything on your computer so that if somehow someone does gain access to your computer they will have a next to zero chance of being able to read anything they get from your computer. You have to have a lot of extra hard drive space on your computer to turn it on though.
Also, a "network" is just a connection between computers, regardless of the internet is involved or not. So when you connect your computer to the router which gives you the internet, you are putting your computer on a network. Now I believe that in order for this person whom you don't trust to gain remote access to your computer, they would have to have more information such as an IP address for your computer, through the router in order to get to it.
One thing I think is very important to consider that isn't on the technical side of things is something called "Social Engineering" which is a form of cracking, or hacking. You can do your own research, but in a nutshell Social Engineering is getting people that have access to something I'm trying to hack to give me information. For instance, this person you don't trust could be giving your brother the computer in the hopes that he will download something through your router to that laptop which could give him IP addresses and other information. And then when he gets that laptop back he could scan it for useful information and your brother wouldn't know he did anything wrong at all. The best way to avoid this is purely education and communication. Even if your brother doesn't share the same suspicions about this person, surely he will understand the need to be careful and smart when it comes to sharing personal information in the digital world.

A question about class and interface? please help me!

the following is program:
interface A{
public class B implements A{
public static void main(String [] args){
A a = new B();
System.out.println(a.toString());
}i want to ask a question, the method toString() is not belong to interface A, why a can call method toString()? the interface call the method that isn't belong to, why? please help me...

because a.toString() call the method toString() of class Object because B implements A, but extends Object and in the class Object there is a method toString(). infact if you override the method toString() in class B, a.toString() call toString() in class B.
try this:
interface A {}
public class B implements A
public String toString()
    return "B";
public static void main(String [] args)
    A a = new B();
    System.out.println(a.toString());

Questions about MBP!!! please help!!!

I'm planning to get a macbook pro and I have a few questions before doing so.
1. It's always nice to have the option of different OS's on the computer, so if I install Vista and Linux on there would the hardware work fine? When I say hardware I mean in terms of both of the graphics cards and if the backlit keyboard would work fine. The people working in the Apple store gave me 2 completely different answers because they're not sure about installing Vista or Linux. This would be using Bootcamp... I don't intend on using Parallel at all.
2. One person from the Apple store said Linux is not support on Bootcamp, but I searched around online and saw people that were able to put Linux onto their macbooks. Can anyone enlighten me? Would everything work fine?
3. This next question is not related to Apple or macbooks. It's just a general question that I've had in mind. Do drivers or settings work properly/ok on different OS? Say if I got a mouse or keyboard that came with a program to change the settings, i.e. speed of mouse and other options, and I switched over to another OS that I dualboot, would the settings stay the same on the other OS?
Thanks for your help.

Parallels 3 was disappointing, but Parallels 4 performs much better. I migrated my windows XP installation from my old Dell Inspiron into a Parallels virtual machine on my new MBP and it actually runs faster in Parallels 4 on the MBP than it did natively on the Dell because of the difference in system power between the two. Parallels 4 supports multiple processors, including the dual-core MBP processor, and greater memory allocations than the previous versions.
You will get better performance from Windows if you run it via Boot Camp, but if you want to use Linux, a virtual machine is the safest way to do it, as you would have to use the Linux boot loader to support a dual-boot OS X/Linux installation. Fortunately, Linux memory management is quite good compared to Windows, so you don't have the same kind of performance issues running Linux in a virtual machine as you do with Windows.

Beginner question about prepared statements...PLEASE help! :-)

First let me say thanks for the assistance. This is probably really easy to do, but I'm new to JSP and can't seem to figure it out.
I want to dynamically populate a table that shows whether a particular person has an appointment at a given date and time with a user. To do this, I want to query the MySQL database for the lastname of the person with the appointment that occurs with the user at the year, month, date, and time, in question.
THE CODE BELOW DOESN'T WORK (obviously) BUT SOMEWHAT ILLUSTRATES WHAT I'M TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH:
<%
Driver DriverTestRecordSet = (Driver)Class.forName(MM_website_DRIVER).newInstance();
Connection ConnTestRecordSet = DriverManager.getConnection(MM_website_STRING,MM_website_USERNAME,MM_website_PASSWORD);
PreparedStatement StatementTestRecordSet = ConnTestRecordSet.prepareStatement("SELECT lastname FROM appts_pid1 WHERE user_id='<%=(((Recordset1_data = Recordset1.getObject(user_id))==null || Recordset1.wasNull())?"":Recordset1_data)%>' AND year='<%= yy %>' AND month='<%= months[mm] %>' AND date='<%= dates[dd] %>' AND appttime='16:15:00'");
ResultSet TestRecordSet = StatementTestRecordSet.executeQuery();
boolean TestRecordSet_isEmpty = !TestRecordSet.next();
boolean TestRecordSet_hasData = !TestRecordSet_isEmpty;
Object TestRecordSet_data;
int TestRecordSet_numRows = 0;
%>
The real problem comes in the prepared statement portion. If I build the prepared statement with static values like below, EVERYTHING WORKS GREAT:
PreparedStatement StatementTestRecordSet = ConnTestRecordSet.prepareStatement("SELECT lastname FROM appts_pid1 WHERE user_id='1' AND year='2002' AND month='October' AND date='31' AND appttime='16:15:00'");
But when I try to use dynamic values, everything falls apart. It's not that the values aren't defined, I use the user_id, year <%= yy %>, month <%= months[mm] %>, etc. elsewhere on the page with no problems. It's just that I can't figure out how to use these dynamic values within the prepared statement.
Thanks for reading this far and thanks in advance for the help!!!!

Hi PhineasGage
You are little bit wrong in your
your preparedStatement.
Expression tag within scriptlet tag is invalid.
Whenever you are appending the statement with
expression tag, append it with "+" and remove
expression tag.
Hopefully it will work
ThanksThanks for the response!
I know that the expression tag within scriptlet tag is invalid. I just need a workaround for what I want to do.
I'm unclear what you mean by "Whenever you are appending the statement with expression tag, append it with a "+" and remove expression tag".
Could you give an example?
In the meantime, I've been trying to digest the docs on prepared statements and have changed the code to look like:
PreparedStatement StatementTestRecordSet = ConnTestRecordSet.prepareStatement("SELECT lastname FROM appts_pid1 WHERE user_id= ? AND year= ? AND month= ? AND date= ? AND appttime='13:15:00'");
StatementTestRecordSet.setInt(1,1);
StatementTestRecordSet.setInt(2,2002);
StatementTestRecordSet.setString(3,"October");
StatementTestRecordSet.setInt(4,31);
Again, WITH THE STATIC VALUES, THIS WORKS FINE...but when I try to use expressions or variables like below, things don't work:
StatementTestRecordSet.setInt(2,<%= yy %>);
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong, but there has to be a way to use variables within the prepared statement.
ALSO, the values are being passed to this page via URL in the form:
samplepage?user_id=1&year=2002&month=October&date=31
Based upon this information, is there another way (outside of stored procedures in the db) to do what I want to do? I'm open to ideas.

Question about my Creative Xtra 40GB Please HELP!!!! Anybody!

Please, I need help with a problem I'm having with my Xtra 40GB. I'm having trouble transfering my songs over to my player. It says that "the player is either not connected or busy, try again later?". What is up with that? The cords are plugged in, it's connected so what is the problem. What is making it "busy"? Any help would be useful. Thank you.Message Edited by K-Mart452 on 0-6-2005 05:7 AM

to completely remove the Acrobat installer files.
Then download Reader 9, install it, and go about reading PDFs for free.

after there being an error in trying to update the software it said i have to restore my phone which i have done but says time remaining is about 24 hours . can you please help ? i just want to switch my phone on again .

Hello lyndsey1430,
From what I can gather, it sounds like you're having issues restoring your device. After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains helpful advice concerning recovery mode:
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Use recovery mode
You might need to use recovery mode to restore your device in these cases:
iTunes doesn't recognize your device or says it's in recovery mode.
You see the Apple logo onscreen for several minutes with no progress bar.
You see the Connect to iTunes screen.
Learn what to do if you see the progress bar onscreen for several minutes.
To put your device into recovery mode, follow these steps:
Turn off your device and leave it off.
Plug in your device's USB cable to a computer with iTunes.
Hold down the Home button on your device as you connect the USB cable. Keep holding down the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
When you see this screen, release the Home button. If you don't see this screen, try steps 1 through 3 again.
When your device is connected, iTunes will open. You'll see a message saying that iTunes has detected an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in recovery mode.
Use iTunes to restore your device. Restoring in recovery mode will erase your device. If you previously synced with iTunes or iCloud, you might be able to restore from your backup.
Get more help
Learn what to do if you don't see your device in iTunes for OS X, or in iTunes for Windows.
If you put your device into recovery mode by mistake, restart it. Or you can wait 15 minutes and your device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

I can't get the leapfrog connect to open. It says something about the Testgen fonts. Please help.

I need help with the leapfrog connect application. It won't open and it keeps saying something about the font Testgen. Please help me if you can.

Considering that the "Most recent updates" link on the Leapfrog Connect homepage is dated November 2009, I wouldn't hold out too much hope that your software is compatible with Lion, released in July 2011.

Multiple questions re iPhone iOS 7. Please help where you can.

Hi,
I've had a Macbook and an iMac before, so am not unfamiliar with Apple products and the OS in general, however I have just got an iPhone 5C, and after years of mobile phone Android, have not found migrating to the iPhone half as straight-forward as I thought it would be, and have a NUMBER of questions. I'm unclear on a number of items that I have attempted to search for, and figure out.
I'm sorry to post all these questions in one discussion! I possibly probably will ask them all individually, but for economy, and in case there's anybody who likes killing more than one bird with a stone, I thought I'd post them all here.
Please answer any that you can. Any help will be much appreciated.
1. App Store / iTunes Store - the Android Play Store houses everything in one, but on the iPhone you have the App Store for apps and games, and the iTunes store for everything else, right?
2. However, where do you search for podcasts?? I can't find podcasts as a category in the iTunes store?
3. And I can find Audiobooks as a category in the iTunes store, but where can I find ebooks? Or does this not exist? (It does on the android play store).
4. When you browse through the Featured apps, or Top Charts on the App Store, it presents the apps in a list format each in small/medium size with icons and a small amount of information displayed. HOWEVER, when you use the search function, it displays the app results full-screen. i.e. browsing through the results each app takes up the whole screen, and you swipe along to see the next app. If there are hundreds or more results, it makes it awful to browse through the results of the app search....
5. is there a way to change the display format of the search results? i.e. in list format and show multiple results on one page, scrolling along or down? I would really, really like to do this.
6. And can you filter the search results at all?? You don't seem to be able to filter the search results by category or price, or anything. Is this right?
I am finding app store pretty horrific to use, so any tips would be much appreciated.
Next questions (and bless your patience if you're still with me here),.....
7. Newsstand. So I can search for newspapers and magazines in newstand, and in the App Store, and then they will automatically be put in Newsstand? However, I downloaded BBC News, and a couple of other newspaper apps, and they are not in Newsstand?
...I can't move anything out of Newsstand onto my phone, i.e. The New York Times, and I can't move anything into Newsstand that's on my phone, i.e. the Guardian app? Is this right?! (I realise I'm giving away all my reading choices here). Surely this can't be right?
8. Notifications. If something is updated/downloaded et cetera, I get a little red circle at the top right of the app with a number in it telling me there's been some *activity* in that app and to go and check it out. That's fine. But I have a had one of these notification bubbles above my Newsstand app for days now, and I don't know what it refers to or how to make it go away. I've opened Newsstand, and I've opened every newspaper/magazine that I've brought into newsstand, and it hasn't disappeared. Is there any place or way to determine what the notification refers to? If I'm calling it a 'notification' in error, please forgive me and correct me . Short of deleting every magazine in my newsstand, I don't know how to get this red bubble gone. Please help bubble-free me.
9. MESSAGES. This has astounded me. There are no drafts whatsoever in iPhone time messages? So if you go to compose a new message, if for any reason you can't or don't want to complete the text message at the time, if you leave whatever you have written is gone?
10. If this is the case, is there an alternative text messaging application that I can use, that would allow this functionality? I'm not talking about whatsapp, which I have, or any kind of messaging platform that uses internet and requires the receiver to have the same app. Just straight text messaging that uses the text allowance given by your service provider. Is there an alternative to this, that allows drafts and the normal functionalities provided for text messages by other phones?
11. Is there a way to search sent messages alone?
12. Sometimes my text messages appear green, and sometimes they appear blue. Is there a reason for this? (This is a minor question, please feel free to pass over it if time is scarce)
Finally, and nearly there.
13. The push button at the bottom of the screen takes you out of apps, and if you push it twice it takes you to all open apps. Is there no way to actually close an open app when you exit it? Or if you want to actually close an app, any and every time, you have to push the iPhone home button once, then you have to push it twice, and then you have to swipe the app to close it. IS that right?
14. Or should I not be worried about multiple apps being open in the background? How much battery/resourches does it actually use?
15. I know that I can close multiple apps simultaneously, or at least three, by swiping three up at the same time. Is there any way to simply close all apps at the same time? Or any app I can download that will do this?
16. Airdrop. I have a Macbook pro that's less than a year old, and the iPhone 5c is brand new. I can't get Airdrop to work. I've put them both as discoverable to everybody or contacts only, I've turned the wifi on and off for both, bluetooth on and off for both, every different combination possible, and there's nothing. Nada. Guidance?
17. Specifically, if I can't get it to work, who do I go to? Can I take my macbook and iphone to an Apple store? Can I get customer support? I want to use the airdrop feature as I've figured I've paid for it, but I don't know who to access the support for doing so, or which would be the most effective.
Really and truly finally:
18. My bluetooth seems to be turning itself on all the time. Even when I've turned it off. Why oh why?
Thank you very much.

1. Yes. App sotre has Apps and Games. Itunes has everything else.
2. Podcasts are also found in the iTunes store. (The Podcast App only plays them, but is not a store) You can search by title, and using the More button at the top filter by type. Select Podcast.
3. Ebooks can be found in the iBooks App. Its a separate App and store.
4, 5 and 6.unfortunately no, no and sadly no.
9. Nope, Messages is treated like a chat as such no drafts.
10. There are many Apps in the store for SMS messaging.
11. Spotlight search searches everything. You can go into Settings->General->Spotlight search and deactivate everything except messages to search for messages only.
12.Yes. Green messages are standard SMS messages. Blue messages are iMessages. Apple's messaging service. If the user is not using an Apple device or is not registered with iMessage it will send an SMS. Otherwise it will use iMessage over the internet to save on SMS costs.
13. When you exit an App most will close. When you get to all open Apps swipe the App screen shot to close it manually.
14. Most Apps in the Multitasking list aren't actually running. As such they don't use battery. Only Apps set to background tasks will continue to run via the Background App refresh setting.
16. Correct Airdrop at this point is only between iDevices. or between Macs. You can't Airdrop between a Mac and an iDevice.
17. You can take your Phone to an Apple Store for support form the Genius bar if required. You also have 90 days phone support.
18. Airdrop uses Bluetooth. and you may have another App that needs it.
You may want to take a look at the manual for specifics:

Question on security in ABAP. Please help!

Hi Experts,
I have a question on security in ABAP program.
I have a ABAP program which has a transaction attached.
I have added authorization check in ABAP program(Progran level security).
I have also attached the authorization object to the transaction.(Transaction level security)
If an end user runs the transactionm, then which authorization check will fire first? Will it be transaction level?
If I have web enabled my ABAP program via SICF (in other words, ITS). Then when I try to run my ITS service in the browser will the transaction level authorization fire? or Will the program level authorization fire?
Please help me understand this security aspect.
Thanks
Gopal

Hi gopalkrishna,
1. if an end user runs the transactionm, then which authorization check will fire first? Will it be transaction level?
Yes, transaction level first !
2. In ITS scenario also,
a) first tcode level,
b) then, program level
