The difficult parts about running Mac spy software are:

• Users’ access control of Mac
• Obtaining reports

The first one is doable if you are the admin of the target Mac. Some spy software for Mac even do not require admin password or admin privilege for installation or running.

For obtaining reports, generally this involves returning to the computer and then pressing an odd key combination or something and you’re presented with a simple login window. After the password, you’re granted the control panel for settings and reports.

Some Mac spy software will allow you a one-time setup of reporting paths. For example, reports might be sent online every xx minutes/hours to an online destination of your choice via email or FTP. This way, you don’t have to return to the computer and you can read the reports from your office or elsewhere.

Another option is hardware keyloggers.

These are tiny devices that look like simple adapter plugs that go between the keyboard and the computer. They don’t typically capture screenshots or do fancy online reporting, but they are undetectable and they don’t have problems with user access control. The downside is that they are visible and easily unplugged if they are found.

Getting the info off the keylogger device involves returning to the computer at some point and take back the hardware spy keylogger. Or the hardware keylogger requires a key combination to bring up the login and you can get to the data.

For Mac, installing Mac spy software programs is a better way for key logging. They are much more powerful than hardware keyloggers and have less chances to blow their cover.

However, you can rely on Aobo Mac Spy Software to prevent your kids from spy software deactivating due to the rigorous security measures in it, which makes it difficult to encroach on.

• Aobo Mac Spy Software  runs in automatically and stealthily after the installation. There is neither pop-ups nor prompts when it is working on your Mac.
• Aobo Mac Software provides parents with password protection. The password is required for accessing the keylogger interface. Parents have password are the only operators.
• Aobo Mac Spy Software can only be brought up by a hot key that you set for it. As long as you keep it secret, your kids can hardly get into the keylogger.

Tips to make Aobo Mac Spy Software safer:

• Set up guest accounts for your children and keep administrator privileges private.
• Check password protection and define a complicate password for your spy software.
• Change the default hot key to a different and unique one.
• Change keylogger hot key and password timely.

METHOD 1

You can use Parental Controls in Mac OS X 10.5 and 10.6 to help monitor different user activities such as websites, applications and iChat.
The following tips describe how this feature works.

1. Log on to your computer with an administrator account.
2. Open “System Preferences” by clicking on the icon in the dock.
3. Go to the “Parental Controls” control panel underneath the “System” heading.
4. Click on the lock in the lower-left corner of the screen and enter your administrative user name and password.
5. Select the account you want to monitor from the list on the left side of the control panel window.
6. Go to the “Logs” tab at the top of the window. The control panel will now display all of the websites and applications that the account has accessed within the last week.

Note:

1. You have to be the admin of the Mac and Parental Controls cannot be enabled for administrator accounts.
2. Mac OS X 10.4 has no “Logs” feature in its Parental Controls so that this way can only be used in Leopard and Snow Leopard.

METHOD 2

A better approach is to use Mac Spy Software. Aobo Mac Spy Software, which supports Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and later, enables Mac owners to view all keystrokes, websites, passwords, screenshots, applications and chats – monitor all user activities.

It can be installed to any user account you want to monitor, including administrator accounts. Once you set it up on the user account you want to monitor, it works automatically and stealthily with the log in of the user account.

Anyway, if you want to monitor user activities on your Mac, the easy ways mentioned above are your best choices.

There are keyloggers for PC supporting remote installation but Mac Spy Software is NOT remote installation supportive at present. But Aobo Mac Spy Software have the feature of sending log reports so that users can read logs remotely and Aobo is still in developing of the remote version Mac Spy Software.

3. Trial is available only after registering other products.

Some Mac Spy Software vendors will ask you to register its partners’ products to provide the so-called free trial. However, these products are either useless or expensive. Most of vendors who do like this don’t deliver the free trial at all. Even if some of them provide trial for users, it will take a great many moves to finish the free trial application, which wastes a lot of time.

Kids are in the spotlight because they’re spending more and more time online – at home, in schools and at the homes of friends. According to CIC, high school kids spend as much as 5.1 hours a day online when they’re out of school, middle school children spend 4.9 hours daily and elementary school children spend 3.8 hours a day. Experts say kids can be particularly vulnerable to predators when divulging personal information on blogs, social networks or to marketers.

According to a new study from research firm Harris Interactive, roughly a third of parents said they don’t feel confident about teaching kids how to use the Internet safely and responsibly. However, parents are able to choose web filters, monitoring software or other parental control tools to ensure their kids’ online safety.

It can record websites visited, block the web sites you don’t want your kids to see and programs and games you don’t want your kids to use. Its Mac parental control feature prohibits the browsing of disallowed content on the Internet.

It’s important for every parent to learn how to keep kids safety online or at least know and control what they can do online. With these tools for children online security, you are a more responsible parent.

1. If web browser saved the account user name before, the spy software will only log the passwords typed in. And when the browser automatically fills both of the account user name and password, the spy software can’t catch either of them.

2. Find the passwords according to the type of the target account. For example, you want to discover the password of an email account. Find the email account number by searching @, the string after the account is probably the password.

3. If you want accurate passwords, please wait for some more time for the user to put in his/her password for times. Then compare the suspected keystrokes and identify the same strings, those are probably the passwords.

4. When you figure out where is the password but still fail to get the right one, you may need to use command lines to work out whether Shift/Delete/Alt keystrokes are used. Since some keystrokes share one key (such as ! and 1), the password-finding thing will become a little bit complicated. Please Contact us for more command line help.

5.  If you use an Azerty Keyboard (Keyboard for French, Spanish, etc.), please contact us for keyboard layout information for keystroke interpreting.

Note: The keystroke logs will not show up as soon as you type keystrokes. It will take some time to generate the logs after you type more than 100 keystrokes.

1. The function of auto-delete, designed for users who have little future opportunity to access the target Mac, aims at reducing the size of log emails and making sure the log emails are sent successfully.

2. The function of auto-delete will recalculate the auto-delete time when you click “Hide and Go”. That is to say, if you bring up the keylogger interface and then hide and go it, the keylogger will postpone the time of its auto-delete.

3. The logs will not be automatically deleted if no one logs in the user account. Because Mac Spy Software will not work when you log out the account.

4. Only if the keylogger sends out a log email according to the email interval, it will delete the logs automatically. It does so to guarantee that you will not miss any log details.

Tips:

1. If you are able to access the keylogger interface now and again, please delete logs manually.

2. If you are a user who has no access to the keylogger for a long time, please check “Automatically Delete Logs”.

3. If you need to send screenshots by emails, please set a shorter auto-delete interval such as 2 days.

Any other auto-delete problem, please contact the Aobo Mac Spy Software ticket support or live support on http://aobo.cc/support
