Tracking internet usage-Flash AS3

I am facing a problem how to track data usage (i.e download & upload rate) as well as to keep track of total size of downloaded content right from the establishment of net connection.Clearly explaining we have developed an application where we want to display internet usage..It would be great if someone would help in this issue....

Thanks a ton! Yeah, I didn't know about any of this until I had reason for legitimate concern. People should be aware of what's available. Someone intent on tracking you won't mind paying bluecava to do it for them...
I'll definitely be updating my browser as well. However, Lawrence, I did find during my research that bluecava DOES NOT operate based on cookies. It uses your IP address to consistently track patterns of behavior, even
within multiple devices of one household, so that deterring the tracking is not as simple as turning off cookies to a site. (See screenshot below from bluecava.com)
If you go to the bluecava site's privacy policy, you can actually opt-out, however, blogs have criticized bluecava for not explaining exactly what happens when a user opts-out. It may be beyond our control...

Is there an app to track internet usage of other apps?

I know you can check your overall usage from your phone. But is there an app which tracks how much I use on specific apps, GPS, Safari, Youtube etc.?

There are some apps in the app store that track data usage, but I don't believe they can track by app, only whether it's cellular data or WiFi. But do a search anyway.

Under my website data (Settings, Safari, Advanced) there are websites using a lot of data which I have never visited before. Several of these listed sites are for tracking internet usage. Has my phone been compromised? Is there any other explanation?

I have recently discovered a website called bluecava operating on my iphone 4s, according to my website data log. I've never been to this site, but according to my data log this site is using a lot of data, along with other sites which I have never visited before. Does anyone know anything about bluecava (I've done my research, but I'm not finding information about individuals using this to track someone), or have any other explanation for seeing un-visited sites on my data log?
Someone recently mentioned phone "cloning" to me, meaning that my iphone may be accessed remotely. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Is there anyway to track our internet usage on the airport?, is there anyway to track our internet usage on the airport?

Hi. We recently have subsriced to Satelite internet connection in North Yorkshire. The satellite connection is limited to a 13gig download limit and was wondering if there was a way to track our usuage as a whole - which are two laptops, i-phones and i-pad - by using the apple airport? Or any other way that people may know of.
Thanks for your time in advance!

I have the same need which I assume is growing for many and thus done some research in this area. Apparently, applications such as NetUse and iNet Network have been able to measure total internet usage on the Airport Extreme, until recently.
Unfortunately, 6.x Airport firmware updates have eliminated something called SNMP Monitoring which has undermined the ability for these apps to measure the traffic. Very frustrating!
To my knowledge, SurplusMeter only tracks internet usage on one computer which is of limited use in a multi-device environment.

Doing a 30 minute video created 15 Gigabyte of Internet usage. Why? And how can I stop this!

Created a small, simple 30 minute video. Burned a few CDs. Downloaded one (1) sound track (a few MB). Internet usage soared to an unbelievable 15 GB!
All data, files, etc on my PC, yet Premiere Elements used the Internet constantly, especially when burning CDs.
Why? There was nothing to upload or download (except 1 sound track). This maxed my Internet allowance, and has cost me a lot of cash for extra capacity.
How can I stop this data gluttony.
Or do I have to junk a new, expensive program? (Premiere Elements 13.

Contacted support.
They say that this is 'impossible'!!!
Went for Option 2. Accept one-time waste of Internet capacity. Write it off to painful experience. Junked Premiere Elements 13.
Problem solved.

3.2 gigs of mobile internet usage in one day?

Hello,
Problem: Got my phone bill. 500 Australia Dollars. Phoned my provider. They say internet usage. On the 30th November, I used 3.2 gigs of internet. That's double my monthly allowance.
So... how is this possible?
First up, I'm not iPhone inept. I'm very cautious with my usage. I have wireless internet at home so I only go on the mobile network when I leave the house. 30th of November I went to work, where I can't use my phone, and came home.
I set everything to not download using mobile networks (podcasts specifically). I've had my phone for 6 months and I've never had a problem with this. I've never downloaded anything more 200megs in a day.
I went to my App history and found the only app I had downloaded that day, was Whatsapp... which I had deleted and reinstalled. (Could it be that?)
My service provider can't give me specific details regarding what was downloaded that day... because they say it would be invading my privacy.
My question is, how do I find out what I was doing that day? My Safari history doesn't go that far back on my phone. And it can't be that.
It must be an app. It can't be location services or anything like that, because it happened in one day... 3.2 gigs in one day. And of that one day I was home for half of it.
Please help me. There must be a way to track exactly what usage was used that day, and from where... 3.2 gigs is madness. It can't be right.
I have an iPhone 4S.
Thanks,
Ryan

Internet Usage Gone Amok!

Hi all (and Tesserax if you're online, you know the history of my problem!). I am posting this here because I can't find another forum which seems appropriate.
Short version: for two weeks we've been aware that our internet usage has been exceeding our use. We have two iMacs networked in a small office, both are running Snow Leopard.
We have tried eliminating what we thought the issue was - namely that someone had hijacked our wireless somehow. So: we installed a new D-Link router (which is WPA encrypted AND then the entire wireless radio disabled), and we have a new cable modem from our ISP, along with a new virus program (Intego Virus Barrier X6). We scanned both computers and Intego found one virus (a file called 1024.dmg which had been on one of our computer's hard drives since 2008!) and one attempted port scan, which was blocked. Other than that, there has been no suspicious activity reported.
I called an Intego technician who assured me that their software would catch anything out of the ordinary and so therefore it can't be anything on our computers. The Intego guy said that only a trojan would be capable of doing something like this, but again, VirusBarrier would catch that. Also Interesting to note: it's the downloads that are extraordinary, while the uploads are consistent with our day to day business.
Even with all of these things up and running, we're still experiencing spikes in our internet use that has us and our ISP puzzled. Two days in the past month we weren't even in the office at all and there were 6 gigabyte spikes on record! However, our computers were on, but in deep sleep mode. Something fishy...could someone be hacking in even with our computers in sleep mode????
My ISP mentioned that they have a client who's son let their bit torrent open and someone was downloading off of their internet access, running up the father's bill to $900. From what I understand, bit torrent is a P2P protocol. We don't do ANY file sharing that isn't between the two computers on our LAN.
is there any way that someone can get in that way? On my computer, I have file sharing, printer sharing and scanner sharing enabled.
Oh - and we thought that maybe our ISP's usage tracking was off, so for three days we unplugged our ethernet cable to test. Then we checked the usage for those three days and there was nothing. So something is definitely happening on our end, but we're beside ourselves trying to figure this out! I am wondering if anyone can assit me here. Tesserax has been very kind in offering suggestions - if you have any more, I'd appreciate it!
thanks
B.

Hi Tesserax.
Already did it: the numbers are a combined total from both computers.
Further to me posting that last note, I did some online research and found scores of complaints on different internet forums commenting on the exact same problem I've had AND with the same ISP. There is a general consensus that their internet meter is faulty.
AND: I found articles where Bell has actually admitted to having faulty metering. So this is nothing new. What irks me is that the earliest post I found is from 2009 and no one at my ISP even mentioned that this could be the issue! Nor does it seem that they're in any hurry to rectify the problem.
In some cases, their numbers are astronomical - 56gb per day even!
At least it's not on my end and that we don't have a hacker, which was my real concern.
But worth posting in case others come across the same issue and think, like me, that someone is stealing their wireless.
Anyway, thanks again for all your help.
B.

Solution to cap/control internet usage per user?

On Mac OS or within Airport, is it possible to cap the internet usage of some of the users connected to an Airport netowrk? Is it easy to control the bandwidth usage or to allocate a specific amount og 'authorised' GB to download per month? Are they utilities to do that? Thanks for your answers!

The only feature that the square 802.11b/g/n AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS) has is the ability to limit connection of specific MAC addresses to certain hours of the day. This is in AirPort Utility under "Access Control".
The AEBS has no feature which allows you to control the bandwidth allocated to each client. Nor does it have any feature which tracks how much data a client has used.
OS X's parental controls also offers some in the area of Internet access. You would need to visit the appropriate OS X discussion area and ask about them specifically.

Internet usage and the CDDB

Hi,
Could anybody please give me an indication of the internet usage of itunes when importing CD's and getting the track names automatically from the CDDB? The reason I ask is that I seem to be using a massive amount of download for very little music. Last year I imported about 8gb of music from CD's on a dial-up connection and I didn't use much of my download, now on a differeent computer I'm looking at 20mb per CD??? Any ideas? I would have thought the whole CD track name thing from CDDB would use very little bandwidth.
Cheers

What does this have to do with JAR's?
Try posing in the Java Programming section of the forum, you will get a better response there.

Internet Usage Limits

I exceeded my internet usage limit last month. Where can I find something to track my usage? (The various widgets available on the apple website all seem to be for specific providers, and BT isn't one of them.)

I've found an answer - SurplusMeter will track usage over a month so you can see where you are in relation to your limit.

Tracking memory usage

I have run to a memory limitation problem with my MIDP 1 application. So I'm trying to track memory usage. However I found out that WTK memory monitor gives me different results then Runtime memory functions (by calling Runtime.getRuntime().freeMemory()). In particular, Runtime.freeMemory shows less available heap dynamic memory than WTK memory monitor.
How can I then find out what is taking up the memory space that WTK memory monitor hides from me?
Also calling Runtime.freeMemory at the very begining at the start of my application shows me that there is roughly 90KBytes of heap memory in use. What is taking up this space?
Thanks for any hints!
Hynek Cihlar

Of course I did that. I wouldn't have gotten correct results with Runtime.freeMemory if I hadn't done that.
But thanks for the reply ;-).

Is there a way to track Admin usage of ANM

Is there a way to track Admin usage of ANM (application network manager)? We have a few servers running the ANM application. Each ANM server points to/manages ACE blades (in the datacenter where the server resides). I would like to understand how much the ANM gui is used for each of the servers. I have looked through the GUI for some sort of report but wasn't able to find one. Cisco ACS has the "Adminstration Audit" report which shows all admin activity of the application per admin user (per ACS server). Is there an equivalent report for ANM?
In addtion I would like to know how much of the ACE config activity is spawned via CLI versus the ANM gui.
thanks in advance,
BB

Just click on:

and enter your ID. When it locates your iPod, it will allow you to turn on an alarm signal on your iPod which should let you find it.

Other problems with loading Captivate files into Flash AS3 project

I have a Captivate file done with Captivate 3, published to
Flash player 9 that is being loaded into Flash AS3. The captivate
is a simple recording of some mouse clicks in a browser. I am
displaying the playbar along the bottom, and its buttons all work
fine except for the progress bar, where you can drag the knob and
scrub back & forth in your presentation.
This progress bar is not working as it should. I see the
mouse cursor change to a hand, but when I click I cannot drag the
knob to control the progress bar. The other buttons in the playbar
do work (replay, pause, play, back, forward).
This is a unique problem in that it is only happening when
viewed in IE (7) when loaded into my Flash AS3 project. When viewed
in Firefox in my project, or as a standalone SWF, or as a SWF
simply embedded onto a plain HTML page, it works just fine.
Does anybody have any insight?
Another thing I notice with loading Captivate files with AS3
is the the amount of output messages it displays. Rather annoying
(unless this is a "feature" I've yet to be aware of - heh)

Hi,
I know exactly how you feel, there is simple answer; replace
Captivate for Camtasia Studio 5 at techsmith.com. The weight on
those shoulders will be gone! You'll smile more, be more
socialable. One Happy Person.
I am very happy person ;)
