Who are these people?

They create forum accounts, ask one or more elementary questions, emphasize they are newbies (it's obvious anyway), declare their project is due for a class within hours, and top it off with a desperate plea for someone to solve their issue for them Right Now! If they'd just mark their questions solved or helpful we could rise quickly up the ladder of Lovable Know-it-all Curmudgeons.
Their handles are all similar: "name12345678". I infer they're all logging in in from the same scholastic environment or have the same book.
I also infer they possess a similar work ethic.

here is a bit of brute force detective work from the premiere forum today:

Netinfo... who are these people?

browsing through my computer, i came upon netinfo and noticed that there are all these aliases and users that aren't me. are these normal functions, or illicit?
thanks,
jamie

Without knowing the specifics of the users it's impossible to say, but the chances are that they're normal. UNIX-based operating systems run a lot of processes as special users. If you want some "light reading", you can read up on the default users in Mac OS X here:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/security/securityintro.html
Other applications and utilities may set up other users in addition to the default ones.

Had phone call call from "LogMeIn Rescue" claiming there is asking attempts on my Mac. Wanted to take control of set to 'fix' it. Are these people legit they are obviously offshore. Thanks

Had an offshore phone call from LogMeIn Rescure claiming they had messages there were hacking attempts on my Mac. Wanted to control myh system's fix' problem. Are these guys legit??

No reputable company will call you for this purpose, they're crooks, trying to steal from you.
Ignore them.

Who are these other people on my network?

Hello all,
I wonder if you can help. I'm a home office user.
I've had my iMac for around six months, but only recently bothered clicking on "Network" in my HD. I found a dozen other users sharing the same network. The number of users varies during the day - it can be up to twenty or so, or as few as ten.
If I double click on the other users, I get an AFP connection status prompt asking if I want to connect as a Guest or a Registered User. I don't want to go any further, obviously, as I don't want to connect my machine to a stranger's.
I can't delete other users from my network. I looked one or two of them up in the telephone directory, and they live nearby. Not in the same street, though in the same neighbourhood.
I understand that ISPs use local loops for high-speed users. However, I didn't expect to see them on my Mac network - or be prompted to connect with them (and, presumably, have them be prompted to connect to my iMac).
I expect this is an internet service provider problem, and I will contact my ISP helpline once I have heard from you guys whether or not this is a common occurence. I'm in France, and according to yesterday's newspaper a local MP has described calling my ISP's helpline as "a Kafkaesque experience"; a sentiment I fully understand - which is why I'm putting it off until I have as much information as possible.
Thanks in advance.
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

In the US, broadband companies learned early on that they needed to filter out traffic between nodes. When broadband users here click Network, they will not see their neighbors' computers.
If you are connected wirelessly, however, you may be seeing other people on your network if you haven't locked it down.
If you're not using a wireless connection, and you're worried about security I would suggest activating the OS X firewall, creating a fairly complex password on your computer, and turning off file sharing. This is about as safe as you can reasonably get without 3rd party software/hardware.
The fact that you are seeing other computers just means that the Mac is aware of them, not that they're doing anything malicious. You can't "delete" them or kick them off because you're all on the same network.
I'm surprised your ISP hasn't filtered out this kind of traffice from node to node.

Apple puts some stock photos in iPhoto on the computers and iPhones in the Apple Stores. Who are these photos of?

For instance, who is this kid? He's on all the iPhones in the apple stores right now. There are about 20 photos of him in an album. Anyone know?

1. If you break your post into paragraphs it is much easier to read.
2. I have no idea what your post is referring to, and how - if at all - it relates to iPhoto.
3. It's a good idea to re-read what you've posted, and ask yourself how it might look to someone who doesn't know you and doesn't know what's going on with your machine.

Who are these discussions for? Seems like a good place for Verizon to figure out who is mad.

I need/want answers to how to STOP being treated (for the most part, there ARE exceptions). If needed how to end my contract without going through the ringer and see what other "actions" others are doing.
Thank you.

AZSALUKI,
But, they continue to tell me that i need to pay the fee, because I signed a "contract". Over the past couple of years, they have replaced phone after phone, etc. and only said sorry. In fact, I just got off the phone with them, and their offer was to ship me out another phone. That is the problem. So, THEY in fact have NOT fulfilled THEIR end of the contract. Thus, I should be able to leave WITHOUT paying them..... Correct?
Onceagain, I am looking to "the group" as to how "we" are going to handle the problem.
Oh, by the way, I did offer up another solution for them this morning. Have a person from the store come to my location (all of 2 miles), and they said "no". So, they are NOT working with me.
So, please enlighten me.

Who are the people with lumia 620 waiting for up...

Eagerly waiting for windows 8.1 update on Lumia 620, black update is awesome, but after reading about the,features of 8.1, anxious about the update as quick as possible, esp the cortona, icons as per wish,

The wait should not be no longer now as the roll out is meant to happen in June itself and depending on the carrier,country and variants the update will come soon. Except for the Cortana specially in India you will be able to enjoy all the features Be Calm and enjoy the windows phone experience.
-Thanks

Who are document managent integration partners?

From the OWF 2.6.2 documentation we can read - "Oracle Workflow provides seamless open integration with Oracles third party document management (DM) integration partners". Who are these partners? Thank you.

Hi Martin
That DM integration feature was reserved for future use. The Workflow and Oracle's Content Management products are integrated. The Content Management SDK, available in 9iAS, integrates with Workflow via the Workflow Business Event System. Oracle Files, which ships with the Oracle Collaboration Suite, is also integrated with Oracle Workflow.
Cheers
Mark

"shared" in finder... who are they, can they access eachother?

When I am at school I see many computers in the shared finder bar. Are these people able to climb in my computer? I would assume not but what the heck is "shared" meaning?
Thanks

Sharing is off by default when you get your mac. You have to turn it on if you want to. If you do, it prompts you with options like setting a password. In any case other people can only look at a folder you nominate which by default is Public which wouldn't have anything in it unless you put it there with the intention of sharing it with others. It's pretty bulletproof really.

Who are Apple's "identified developers?"

In System Preferences, General Security, there is an option to "Allow applications downloaded from: Mac App Store and identified developers."
I wanted to download an app from the Adobe website...Adobe is pretty legit, and it wouldn't let me because of my preference. It's Adobe! I know I can just change my preference in order to do it, but unfortunately I can't remember my password, lol.
So who are these mysterious "identified developers?"

Funny - I just downloaded and installed Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and saw a small 'lock' in the upper right hand corner. Curious, I clicked on the lock and was shown the 'identified developer' certificate. First time I've seen an installer with that - I assume it will become the norm.
I just hold down the Control key and click the app and choose Open if I know that the app is from a legitimate source. And the Adobe download sites are usually secure so I'm assuming that you can safely install anything from there.

Why are you banning all these people?

I do not understand what is going on over here. These are long time people. Who are you that is doing this? It can't be the Adobe I know and love.

Hi Cindy
Viewpoints? It has been obvious that any opinions we might have falls on deaf ears.
I suppose you are referring to Adobe here. No problem
It is obvious that all the powers that be really want is for those who are dis-content to just shut up.
Well, I'm sure Adobe would rather not hear that folks are discontented. But I've not seen anyone saying that anyone should just shut up about issues. If you have an issue, it needs to be stated. Otherwise, how will it ever be known? After all, they are helpless to address issues they are unaware of, no?
It is clear, really clear that the changes that have been made are the way it is.
I'm not sure if you are referring to the new statement made about how things will be or if you are referring to the forums changeover. I suppose either way, you are correct. But then, as I see it, so much of life and your life experience is determined not by what happens, but by how you decide to react to it. That's my philosophy. I always have a choice in how I elect to react to any given situation. I sometimes can't change the situation, but I can choose to allow it to ruin my day or just become something that happened and move on. Then again, that's just me. I don't expect everyone to be like me. What a boring world that would be if we were all the same!
It is clear that the people who are now running these forums are not part of the Adobe community.
As far as I'm aware, the people that run the forums are actual Adobe employees. Aren't employees part of the community?
And you want people to like it?
I personally don't want anyone to like anything. I choose what I like and you choose what you do. All I hope for is open, honest, mature discussion to occur with no personal attacks involved.
Cheers... Rick

Are people who are having prob with iTunes 8.2 & iPhone OS3.0 using Intego?

I am wondering whether people who are having problems with iTunes and iPhone are using Intego's Netbarrier? I couldn't download OS3.0 until I turned off Banner and eventually the whole thing. Is this the cause of my problems? My iPhone is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.2.

I want to withdraw this question as it unfairly associates many problems with this one company and application. The problems are not just related to this software. I apologize to Intego if this appeared accusatory.
I have since found answers to all of the questions posed for the iPhone 3.0 update. Only one was related to Intego and its firewall.
Thanks.

Can i put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

I'm going to be out of the country for a few weeks. I have an iPhone 4s. Can I put an unavailable message as a response to text messages so people who are texting me will know that I am unavailable and for how long?

No. Sorry. Check with your carrier. Perhaps they offer such a service.
