Need to Remote Connect to Mac at the Office... HELP!

Alright, I've seen topics similar to this one on the Leopard thread but I really, REALLY, need someone to help me. I know about Apple Remote Desktop but I don't have $300. I have downloaded Vine Viewer/ Vine Server VNC and Chicken of the VNC. When I'm at the office and connected to the office network I have no problems being connected and controlling my other Mac. The default port for forwarding is 5900 but is being used by another coworker, so I tried to configure port 6900. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong so if someone could help me step by step that would be awesome. Thanks.

Please check out this thread. You don't need Vine server on the work machine. Set up the office computer like how I told Bruce to set up his Quicksilver. Your home computer is like his iBook. You won't need to deal with forwarding ssh port 22 on your home router, your work IT guy will have to ensure that that port will allow inbound traffic to pass to your work computer. Also, this will give you remote keyboard/screen, but you won't be able to drag&drop files across locations. To get that, tunnel afp as I discussed in a later post in that thread. Then you'll have both encrypted drag & drop and encrypted remote keyboard/screen.

    I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

  • Can not print from my pc using time capsule's printer, but the mac in the office will.  PC sees the network just not the printer connected to the capsule.

    I can't get my pc to see the printer connected to the time capsule, it sees and connect to the network but will not see the printer.  The mac in the office see both the network and the printer connected to the capsule.

    Suggest that you check to make sure that you installed Bonjour Print Services for Windows v2.0.2 on the PC.
    Run the program and hopefully it will find your printer so you can select it and click to get things going.

  • Can't scan to 1 Mac in the office with HP OfficeJet Pro X576dw MFP

    Hi, We recently moved offices, and after getting to the new location all computers have been able to connect to the Network printer in the office for printing and scanning.  We have both PC and Macs in the office and all are working fine. One of the Mac computers is able to print, but none of the scan options are available. Running Mac OS 10.10.4, have run all the Mac updates and have deleted and reinstalled the printer software.  Any help is appreciated.

    Try updating the software by following these steps:
    First ensure the printer is powered on and connected to your Mac or to the same network.
    Click the Apple icon, then select About This Mac.
    Click on Software Update, then click the top Store menu of the shown window and click on Reload Page.
    Be sure to install any HP or Apple update, then check for any difference.
    If the same persists, manually try installing the package below:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl907 Finally, if you are still not able to scan try the HP Easy Scan app and check if that may allow scanning:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hp-easy-scan/id967004861?mt=12 Regards,Shlomi

  • Is there a way to connect remotely to another mac so I can help my parents?

    I need to help my parents setup skype and they can't figure it out.  Does anyone know of a way I can remotely connect to their mac?

    Yup there are many ways. First in both computers you need to got to System Preferences - Sharing - Remote Management. Here is a You Tube video that gives you a pretty good idea on how to set it up. If you need help visit your local Apple Store, speak to a Genius and they should be able to walk you through it.

  • Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected via ethernet all the time?

    Once airport is setup, does it need to be connected to the router with an ethernet cable all the time?

    AirPort Setup....the configuration utility in Mountain Lion...will look at the connection and configure the Express accordingly.
    If you have an Ethernet cable connected during the setup, then you will need to leave the Ethernet cable connected after the setup.
    If you want the Express to connect using wireless only....then you must configure it using wireless only.

  • Connecting two macs for the internet

    I have a powermac G4 with tiger and would like to buy a G5 imac. What is the best way to connect both of them up to my Ethernet ADSL modem so that two users can access the internet at the same time?

    Cheapest way - go to your local computer shop and buy any internet router (will cost you around $30) along with two ethernet cables of the appropriate length. At home:
    - cable the DSL modem to the router's internet or WAN port
    - cable the PowerMac and the iMac each to one of the four ethernet LAN ports provided by most routers
    If you want to have the iMac connect wirelessly with its built in wireless network interface, buy a wireless router at your local computer shop (costs $30-60) and set it up as I described above - only difference is that the iMac connects wirelessly.
    Other options:
    - buy an Apple Airport Express ($129), and a wireless network PCI card for your Powermac ($80). Both Macs will the wirelessly share the internet connection.
    - buy an Apple Airport Extreme Base Station ($199). Cable the Powermac to its LAN port; the iMac connects wirelessly.

  • I continuously get this error: "There was a problem connecting to .mac.  The request timed out"

    I don't have a .mac acct - never have had one.  I have moved my Aperture library to an external harddrive - and changed that to the library.  It seems like I started having this problem around that time but I'm not sure.  When I get the error I click "OK" and it goes away, only to re-pop a minute later.  Tried running the reset permissions thing a few times.  The only response I found in the forums was from a couple years ago where they WERE trying to connect to .mac
    Aperture 3.1.2

    Strange, I got this error for the first time last night.  I have a 27" iMac (late 2010 model); with latest Aperture.  I recently added a Flickr account (have had a Facebook account on there for some time).  I was uploading some to my flickr account, and noticed that even though the "use actual size" setting was used, it was uploading tiny thumbnails and not the full version. 
    It was after this, that I got that error.  I haven't tried it again, as I'm now on my macbook at work.  Will try again tonight.
    I've also, NEVER had a .mac account, so no possibility of it being a legacy account.

  • Do I need trend smart surfing for mac for the macbook pro

    do I need trent smart surfing for mac for my macbook pro?

    That's totally up to you. If you have the need to restrict the web sites that can be visited, then a product such as Trend may be worth the cost. If you are only worried about malware from your own surfing, then I consider the price for Trend excessive and unnecessary. The freeware ClamXav and a bit of common sense - about what you download and from where, not falling for scams and fakes that ask you to provide personal information, and in keeping your operating system up to date -  should be sufficient.
    Regards.

  • How do I access my iMac remotely when working away from the office?

    I work away from the office for much of the time.  How can I access my iMac remotely?

    Unless this is critcal for some reason I would not do this.  Unless you understand all the techinolticcal pit falls you can leave your computer dangerusly exposed doing this.  If you are not technical your best bet is going to be to get a wireless router with built in VPN support ($200 - $500) to give you a secure connection home.  And then you will need the Apple Remote Desktop app ($90 I think) and even then it will only work if your work compute is also a Mac.  There are probably other comerial apps that will let you remote into your Mac desktop on windows but will probably be in the $200 price range. 

  • Trouble connecting using Mac mail for Office 365

    Microsoft says OS 10.9.4 is not supported for an exchange mail account for Mac Mail.  I'm using OSX 10.9.4 and Mac Mail 7.3 and previously had an exchange account but upgraded to Office 365 through my workplace. I was able to send and receive but now the connection doctor is saying the Exchange  account "Could not connect to this Exchange server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, deselect the 'Use SSL' checkbox in the Advanced tab.
    The problem I've having as well is that the emails are not saved in my sent folder. The only settings that haven't been updated are under the 'Advanced' settings which are: Internal Server Path, Internal Port, External Server Path, External Port.

    MobileMe IMAP server “mail.me.com” rejected the password
    This is doing EXACTLY what I would expect it to.
    You need Lion for iCloud which it should warn you when you do the me.com/move routine.
    It's still fixable though:
