Recent History / log question

I am mostly a novice w/computers. Recently some strange things have been occurring. 1st clue was when online, my curser started to move around (I know remote to my office moves my curser at office, so I know someone had remoted to my MAC) while I was using, network settings changed, but not passwords. On a whim checked recent items and there was a server showing up that I did not recognize. I do occasionally work from home, using a remote website to my corp desktop. The server in recent history is not the remote server I use for work. I am connected to a modem / wireless connection at home. Frankly I think I know who the server belongs to and why it may be there, but I am not sure how long this person has been "remoting" in to my computer. Won't go into the history, but surfice to say, this person has worked for IT support for quite a few years, and of course they mainly service MAC's. Also would like to find out what they are accessing and/or "mirroring". I have done some basic research and frankly do not know if I am even looking for the correct software to find, track, ect this hacker. Any direction on how I narrow down when, what, where I can look on computer to document this and also what soft would work best to help in this search and stop it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! TY :~

Thx lan,
I guess that feature on my want list

Question Re: Clear Recent History Options

Navigating to: Clear Recent History > Details > Form & Search History
Question: I deselected all other boxes under details except Form & Search History
Time range was set to: Everything
My original objective for doing so was achieved
However, when I go back to this window, I cannot deselect all options and apply this null selection.
In my opinion, the user should be able to control what is cleared anytime they navigate to this window.
If the last most selection cannot be cleared then an accidental click on clear recent history without choosing the options in the details can lead to an error.
Why isn't there an apply button in the details window?

How can I recover/restore recent history after it's been deleted?

My daughter deleted recent history. My Facebook account has a layer of protection that stored my computer information. When she deleted the history, Facebook no longer is able to detect my computer and I am not able to log into Facebook. How can I recover or restore the history (everything)?

index.dat is not one of the files used by Firefox, that is for Internet Explorer. You may need to contact Facebook to get access to your account again.
Once history and cookies are deleted in Firefox they can not be recovered.

"clear recent history" is not lit up, can't activate; I have an extra blank line under all these editing icons which I do not want?????Yahoo says it is your issue; also when I copy for instance a screenshot (see below)

1)trying to clear cache: when I click tools,options, "clear recent history" is not lit, I do not know what else to say. I tried to copy the screenshot sample, but it wouldn't let me. 
2) On a page: the items appear in this order - 
a)Header line:Firefox symbol Ask question or whatever I am seeking 
b)2nd line: the words: File, Edit, View, etc. 
c) 3rd line:arrows then 7 icons for editing which appeared one day, a small window that tells where I am with a star and then a window with
google's symbol and a small window with a magnifying glass. 
d)4th line: a wide empty line 
e)5th line: a small window telling what I am doing ie Ask a Question etc. then a plus sign in a gray box and then nothing follows. 
Yahoo says that the blank line and the icons are Firefox's issue. 
I never chose to have icons for editing instead of the words. I do not know how they got there. I had some problems for a number of weeks (1/4/11 to 2/5/11 because all of the 2nd line had disappeared and I had no bookmarks. Yahoo was completely ineffective and I got disparate yesterday and started click all over the screen and suddenly the words of that line appeared again as well as all my bookmarks were back.?????odd. So all this maybe related. I just would rather not have that blank line as it lowers my screen.
3) cont'd: to my desktop I cannot retrieve from my desktop. I click to open it and the page opens, but it keeps opening and opening and on and on and won't stop, so I have to close the tab and sign in again. This has happened about ten times recently. I guess that is it.

Apply exakt steps from History log file to another image?

Alright. If you edit an image and the history log option is turned on, you can look at the exakt steps you've made with all the settings for the individual tools and effects used. Also steps you make can be recorded with the actions tool.
My question is, are there any way to "play" the steps listed in the history log file, as if it were an action?
I need to apply alot of steps to several images but I never recorded the steps I've made with the actions tool. However they are "recorded" in the history log file and I could go in and look and recreate all those steps manually, but that would take too much time...
Are there any plug-ins or are there any other way to do what I need to get done?
Cheers
Martin

1. you can set your preferences to record the history to a txt file or the files metadata.
I assumed that is what the OP already did as indicated in
If you edit an image and the history log option is turned on,
wonder why there are no feature in Photoshop to replay all one have done, to any image?
As you know there is, it’s Actions (as with Scripting not all functionality records; Edit: and not all functionality is applicable to all files because of Color Mode and Bit Depth for example). But it is up to you to employ the necessary foresight to know what to record beforehand.
Also a non-destructive workflow can help make many effects/compositions/etc. easily transfer-/recreateable.

Activation of History Log for Material Classification CLASS TYPE 001

Hi All.
I've a question about this object.
We need to launch RCCLUKA2 to activate multiple objects registration and to generate history log for changes in classification of materials (AUSP table).
Reference are sap notes 942691 and 943559.
I FOUND OUT THERE'S a big problem. RCCLUKA2 change AUSP objek key, using internal number range from INOB objects.
There're hundreds of custom reports and other stuff that read AUSP directly with Matnr Code as objek key.
I think that's a serious problem, isn't it? Or is there any solution about ?
Thanks for Help!
_______> old message
This report RCCLUKA2 does 5 steps.
1 step: activation flag for multiple objects in table TCLA and TCLAO only for input class type (in this case 001 -> MATERIAL);
2 step: download of KSSK data and AUSP data in two text files (name defined in input parameters);
3 step: delete all KSSK data and AUSP data for class type 001, 10.000 records every loop;
4 step: create reference object in table INOB for all records inserted in KSSKFILE, inserting all records in KSSK table at END of INOB upgrade;
5 step: inserting record in AUSP table from all records inserted in AUSPFILE, using INOB objectid created in step 4.
DEQUEUE ALL
We think that this process is a little bit dangerous in production system, due to procedures that always run, in background or foreground.
I've found a work around that creates an implicit enhancement for LCLVFF10 form FILL_REDUN.
I think that it's not suggested to create this enhancement because of the missing flags in TCLA/TCLAO and missing reference in INOB and KSSK database.
This enhancement would create records only in CDHDR and CDPOS with a general key object reference (such concatanate matnr(without-letters) mafid and atinn code).
This enhancement couldn't also activate the standard function of reading document changes from standard menu in MM03/MM02/MM01, etc..
Do you have any suggestion about this?
RCCLUKA2 is a very old report. SAP didn't give any advice or upgrades for this need?
Thanks for your help

Dear ,
changes in values for a characteristic can be monitored in CL20N but as for MM02/MM03 transaction only for class type 023.
For class type 001 or 300 the change document isnu2019t available.
Thanks.

Nothing else is checked. If I am ,eg, signed in Yahoo mail, and I clear recent history, I find I have been logged out of Yahoo.
I am using Version 3.6.12

Safari Update deleted recent history, kept things 1+ y old. Help!!!

I recently updated my Safari to 3.0.4 (Yes, I am using older versions) and when I did, it wiped out my history. However, it must have retained information from over a year ago, as when I start to type in a URL, the drop-down menu only offers websites I haven't visited in years.
Is there any way to fix this? I don't understand why very, VERY old history has been retained, but the recent sites, the ones that matter to me, have vanished. I often took advantage of the sites held in the drop-down menu, and it's very inconvenient that they were lost to me (even more inconvenient that random, old sites are appearing).
In short, I would like to get my recent history (within the last year) back, as well as my old drop-down menu.
As a side note, my cache does not seem to have been wiped out entirely, as when I go to sites with fields, they can be filled quickly if I had them in my history. For instance, yesterday I could log into an airline's website by filling in the first box and clicking enter. It was a site I visited several days ago, before I updated, but definitely not more than a year ago, when my history vanished.
It makes little sense and I need all the help I can get. Thank you!
PS - Is there a way for me to 'undo' an update without messing up my favorite places and Safari in general? I don't like this update much anyway... Every time I try to type in an address, it offers me the title of a website, which is very frustrating and I'd rather go back to my earlier version.

HI,
If you are running Tiger v10.4.11 as your profile indicates, the minimum requirements for Safari is version 4. You cannot run 3.0.4 on Tiger.
As for the history. Avoid url's autocompletion: The url's you see when you start typing a web page address are collected from your History and Bookmarks. One way to avoid that is to turn on Private Browsing from the Safari Menu Bar, Safari/Private Browsing. In private browsing, Safari won't remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your autofill information.

Why can't I access "clear recent history" in the tools menu?

When I use the drop down menu for tools, I can't use "clear recent history" or " stop private browsing" because when I click on them nothing happens and they are not in the darker print as the other menu listings. I've been having this problem for a couple of wks and am not real good on fixing my computer. I erased foxfire and downloaded it again, still no good. I have windows 7.

That happens when in Private Browsing or in "permanent" Private Browsing.

I cannot completely Clear Recent History; one url keeps showing up even after clearing. Why?

When I click on the Clear Recent History button, it appears that all categories are cleared. However, when I log back on, the drop-down menu of the URL bar shows that one previous URL from October 3, 2011, has not been cleared--has never been cleared, in fact. It is always the same address, which is: us.mc393.mail.yahoo.com/mc/welcome?gx=/&.tm=1317702807&.rand=42rlbj6nchdgv#_pg=showMessage&sMid=3&&filterBy=&.rand=248392308&midIndex=38...
It is the only item to appear in the drop-down menu.
Why is this happening, and how do I clear the history completely?
Thank you.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

SQL History log

How do you sort the SQL History log entries in ASC or DSC timestamp order?
I've tried clicking on the "Timestamp" column and it changes, but it seems to be a problem with handling dates with a 1 digit day along with a 2 digit day( probably same will happen with 1 and 2 digit months ), for example 4/7, 4/6, 4/5 come before 4/14, 4/13, 4/12.
tia

The SQL History sorts on the text value of the timestamp column, rather than the date value of the timestamp column and has been doing this as long as I have been using it. This issue has been posted several times (not recently from memory), but I don't know how high up the priorities it has ended up.

How do I disable the "Clear Recent History" function in the tools drop menu?

I've figured out how to disable the "Start Private Browsing" function, and would also like to delete the "Clear Recent History" and "Forget this site" options. I have teenaged children and would just like the options gone.

Disabling it in Firefox itself wouldn't help, since the users would still be able to find the files in profile folder and delete them manually. If you want to disable that, you might log in as Administrator on your system and modify the permissions to the history file, but it would end up in Firefox (running at the user account) being unable to add data to the file as well.

I recently posted a question via the apple support medium. I was unable to respond to the utterly pointless and unhelpful response that I received. Anyone else having the same problem

I recently posted a question in the apple forums and received a response that was less than helpful. Unfortunately, due to the options available to me. I was not able to respond to my respondent adequately enough to hope to receive a meaningful answer to my question. is this the norm with apple problems????

If you don't have the reply buttons in the screenshot you might have been timed out. If you started a reply copy it, refresh the page log back in. You get timed out every 30 minutes.
