im new here and just bought a new macbook! so im new to mac as well.
i work for 24 hours, and i leave my macbook at home...now my roommate has people over all the time, and i know they try and use my macbook to play music. but they always deny it.
is there a program or way i can use the isight to take a pic, and see what password they are trying to type when they try and login?
I started up my Intel Core 2 Duo Mac Mini (10.7.3) this morning and software update told me I had 7 updates to install. When it got to the "installing 7 Items" stage, an installation alert popped up telling me to close iPhoto to continue with the installation. The problem is that iPhoto isn't open. Perhaps another family member has it open but if I try to log out it gets cancelled by software update.so, it is currently hung on "running package scripts" and won't move until I close iPhoto. I'm loath to force shut down and force quit isn't highlighted.

I know that this error in the Console Log has been around for a while, but I've spent all day searching and I can't find the answer. It's the last, and only, error that I have in my log now. Here it is:

I just heard about Flashback and wonder if my computer (or possibly iPhone) is infected. My iTunes account was recently hacked and I received over $70 in charges for purchases I did not make. I was told that Flashback can and does hijack usernames and passwords. I installed and ran iAntiVirus but it didn't pick up anything. I also have an iPhone and an iPad that I access my iTunes store from quite frequently.

I have a mac pro running 10.6, and i'm trying to set up sharing only acconts.
I followed the apple KB article, and created a network sharing only account with a password, and selected a folder to be shared... here's the problem, no one can log into that account!
For example, account tilted Media is listed as a sharing only account, and has read access to "Array 1", however if i try to AFP in, SSH, or SFTP in, nothing will accept that username and password! (however I can do all of those with the actual admin account)
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to Apple Mail, and I was wonderingwhether it's possible to have multiple logins for Mail on a single Mac. Here is my situation:
I have a small company with 5 employees who need to access their website e-mail using IMAP on a single iMac. We've been using the Horde web client which is horrendously slow and ugly. I would like for each employee to be able to use Mail to login to their e-mail account and then logout once done. This way employees won't be able to read each other's e-mails. I don't want to have different OS X root level login ID's because then my employees won't have access to all the files on the main admin ID.
i'm trying to setup isight to take pictures whenever there is an invalid login.
i've searched around and there seemed to be a pretty decent guide from a year ago but the authsight program link is dead.
i've looked into other programs like ialertu but i'm looking for a program that will take a picture(s) at invalid logins and email them to me. ialertu just attracts attention with the alarm noise and i've had trouble with receiving the picture in my email.
With any other browser automatic logins can be set for forums, homepage, etc. I have not been able to do this with Firefox...I have gone through every Preference page. The only setting I can find is under Security which has a checkbox for 'Remember passwords for site'. I have checked this but it don't seem to work.

Is there a way to create user logins or some other grouping for a set of applications to use (memory) resources optimally -- for example only mail and Safari and Word in one grouping and another for Safari and an audio recording application, etc.?

For class evaluation purposes, I would like that one user could only establish one SSH connection o a OS X 10.4 server.
It linux I could mess with the /etc/security/limits.conf, but it does not seem available in OS X.
Also, in sysctl I could not see any suitable variable to set.

is there a way of making the last few accounts that have logged in to be stored on the client computer temporarily, just incase the server ever went down? There is such a setting in Windows Server 2003, I'm just wondering if Apple has anything that does that.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI was just doing a superduper backup which failed halfway through because i didnt realise my wd passport drive that was plugged in was auto backing stuff up and there must have been a conflict. Now, I dont know what to do. Email accounts.gone. Any registered apps, still there but reg details gone, any and all system preferences (like trackpad setup just came to mind) gone. Dock and all the items in it and crap I made to ,make it look fancy. gone. Stuff that loads at the stuff...gone.
I know this must have to do with my user directory but wtf? I know my timemachine backup is fine as i did one before all the problems, but is my superduperbackup screwed? I cant stress how screwed I am, I got reports due right before xmas and im like at square 1 now.

This is the first time I've tried using my built-in iSight since the 10.6.5 update, and on any site I've tried it, it doesn't show USB Video Class Video, the correct option, as a selectable option. Nor is DV Video and option. Only Built-In iSight, and two "Google" cams, none of which work. Actually, on Tinychat, Built-In iSight works for the thumbnail for picking the cam option, but won't work once selected. But that's always been the case; the proper option won't show as a thumb but works fine once selected. I hope I'm making sense.
Any solutions? Adobe says I'm running version 10,1,102,64.
Update: It seem either uninstalling Google's video and audio adapters </Library/Application Support/Google/GoogleVoiceandVideoUninstaller.app> or installing a beta version of Flash [URL] solves the issue.
I am trying to disable my Isight on a couple of computers used at our library. Under MacHints I found out that, when a program from OS X (Tiger at least) needs to access the integrated iSight camera, it has to call the QuickTimeUSBVDCDIgitizer.component. This file is located in the /System � Library � QuickTime folder.
How can I find this folder? When I search for it does not come up.
Or did anybody else figure out a way to disable this.
Oh, yeah, taping over it is a good suggestion but clever people just removed.
He has a stock white 2.2GHz MacBook, the 2.2GHz SR, with 1GB RAM. Now, recently, he noticed that the green indicator light next to his iSight camera, is always on, even if he just started up his 'Book. If he tries to open Photo Booth, all he gets is not a picture on the Photo Booth window, but in fact, just plain black inside the window, with no error message. Does anyone know what is going on?

i keep reading stories as i've been googling about how people catch thieves etc from remote viewing isight camera etc. but how do you do it? i should also mention i am a mobileme subscriber which hypothetically should make it easier.
