Accessing data from another computer - a strain on my computer?

My wife has an IBM Thinkpad laptop that is not connected to the internet. My computer is connected to the internet and sometimes she accesses her e-mail on it by clicking on a bookmark that I set up for her that links directly to her e-mail at work. Her entire work e-mail system (microsoft pc based) appears on my computer and she logs in. All of her e-mails (thousands) are on my computer including huge documents and such. I suspect that doing this may be causing my computer to freak out a bit.
I only have 1GB of RAM. I once typed in the name of the bookmark "Ann's e-mail" into "spotlight" and it appears as though all of her work e-mails seem reside on my hard drive. One time she was checking her e-mail and a kernel panic happened. She's stopped checking her e-mail on my computer and the kernel panics no longer happen. Perhaps this is a coincidence but in general, do all her e-mails reside on my hardrive all the time or only when she clicks on the bookmark and logs in. Lately she doesn't even have to log in. All e-mail appears when she clicks on the bookmark. In the past it always asked for her password first. (I find it strange that it no longer asks for her password) ) She's going to be getting her own internet connection soon but does anyone know if bookmark that links to a ton of data on another computer uses up RAM or CPU on my computer?? Should I delete the bookmark?

It sounds like you should be doing Internet Sharing on yours, is that not the case?
Thank you for your reply, BDAqua. I haven't but doing internet sharing.
Upgrade your RAM to 2 or 2.5 GB.
I was told at the Apple store than the model I have will not allow any additional upgrades. When I bought the unit it had 512MB and I had 1GB of memory put in the only other remaining memory slot. So I actually have 1.5 GB RAM. AT some point I'm be getting a new computer in order to get 4GB RAM but can't afford it right now.
What interface do you connect with, what interface does she connect wirh, and what is available on both?
Sorry, don't understand this question. Do you mean how do I get the internet? I have Road Runner from Time Warner Cable. My wife's home laptop isn't connected to anything. She wants to get an Air Card so she can access the internet when she travels.

Receive LV data from another computer

Dear
I would like to write Labview program after receiving some data.
The data(temperature and humidity) are acquisiting in real time by LV from an independent computer(remote com.).
Are there some simple methods to share or extract the data like this situation?
(Hopefully, I don't want to modify much LV code in the remote computer.)
Thank you in advance.

For DataSockets, you have to be running Windows, the DS server doesn't run on other platforms.You have to already have TCP network access between the two machines.
For this little exercise, the data you want must be in a front panel indicator (or control). If you do more coding, you can send DS data programmatically, but for now, let's assume it's on the panel.
On the client side (the one you will monitor with), run the DS Server. {Start - Programs - National Instruments - DataSocket - DataSocket Server.
On the Server side (the one where the data is already there), pop up on the item(s) you want to monitor.
Choose DATA OPERATIONS - DATASOCKET CONNECTION.
In the CONNECT TO box, enter "dstp://192.168.0.101/Value1" (without the quotes). Substitute the client IP # for the IP # shown. Substitute a sensible name for the "Value1" part.
Choose PUBLISH as the connection type, an click ATTACH (or CHANGE if this is not the first time thru).
You should see a small LED next to the item. You can hide it if you want (VISIBLE ITEMS), but for now leave it there.
Run the program. The LED should be GREEN, and on the client side, the DS SERVER should show changing numbers, as packets come in.
On the CLIENT side, you want a similar indicator (same data type) as the one on the server that you are monitoring. You want a WHILE loop with a STOP button and a WAIT function, at least.
On the front panel, pop up on the indicator, and choose DATA OPERATIONS - DATASOCKET CONNECTION.
in the CONNECT TO box, enter "dstp://localhost/Value1". You could enter the IP number, but "localhost" covers it, since the DS server is running on this same machine. The "Value1" part must match the name you gave it on the other (server) end.
Click SUBSCRIBE, and close the dialog.
Run your client program, and the client's indicator should match the server's.
Things to be aware of:
You don't know when the data is updated. When your client program uses the values, it gets the latest values. Maybe they're a mSec old, maybe they're a month old. You don't know.
If you monitor TWO (or more) indicators, they are not necessarily updated at the same time. If you read them on the client, maybe they correspond, and maybe they don't. It's possible that you read them AFTER it updated #1, and BEFORE it updated #2. You just don't know. If that's a problem, put everything into a cluster, and just update the one value.
The server will consume system resources (CPU - network time) and net traffic, whether you are listening or not. If your server updates the display 100 times a second, but you only want a value once a second, that's wasteful because the value gets sent over the net 100 times.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think there's no security with this. Any process with access to the DS server, can ask to be updated and it will be.
You had asked for a minimum-code-change idea. I believe the above meets that challenge (no code change at all, only DS settings).However, it has drawbacks, and if they outweigh the no-code-changes, then you need to consider either programmatic DataSockets or plain TCP. With those you can control every aspect of communication. Consult the examples for those.

Possible? access data from another effects plugin

right this sounds complicated so I'm gonna ask if its even possible before i start trying to build this. Picture this scenario.
Main comp has layer "A" which is a sub-composition, B. The layer A has my filter on it.
In comp B, we have a layer "C" with my filter on it (or another one of my filters on it)
When rendering the main comp, can the filter on A access information held by the filter "C" in comp "B"?
seems weird but what I'm after here is reusability. The filter on C will contain some information that A needs to render correctly. By placing the information in the nested comp "B", B can be reused anywhere in the project. Alternatively if I just did everything inside filter A, this meta information cannot be propagated across all uses of comp B across the project.
phew. confused? I know I am.

That's some scary stuff, but YES, plug-ins can access each others' data. See the Sweetie sample for how a plug-in can expose a function suite that other plug-ins can call. You'll also need a bunch of AEGP_EffectSuite calls to find other plug-in instances, and get at their params.
I strongly recommend against doing this, however; think of the user!

How do I access data from another class?

I have a class RailNetwork which extends Datastore. DataStore contains a vector filelines which I need to access from RailNetwork. How do I do this? What do I put infront of filelines.get(i); ?
public abstract class DataStore
{    Vector<String> fileLines = new Vector<String>(); }
public class RailNetwork extends DataStore
{    ...main(){ .......filelines.get(i);....... }
}

This is the code from RailNetwork class:
public static void main(String[] args) {
          String templine;
          int i = 0;
          int vectorlength = super.filelines.size();
          for( i = 0 ; i < vectorlength ; i++ )
               templine = (String) super.filelines.get(i);
               setStations(templine); }The errors (for both lines, only 1 shown):
RailNetwork.java:49: non-static variable super cannot be referenced from a static context
                        templine = (String) super.filelines.get(i);
                                            ^
RailNetwork.java:49: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable filelines
location: class DataStore
                        templine = (String) super.filelines.get(i);

Best way to transfer data from other computer

I'm wondering what is the fastest, or most reliable way to transfer data from another computer to my G5. I've skimmed through manual for G5 and it seems to list several options, if I'm understanding it correctly.
1. Using Airport Extreme
2. Using Bluetooth
3. Hooking up a local Ethernet connection
4. Setting up a Firewall connection?
I want to be able to transfer a completed iDVD project created on an iMac G3 to my G5 for burning the DVD. And which method (if any) will work with a non-Mac computer?
Anyone know the advantages, disadvantages of the transfer methods?
ccCarol

If you have a high-speed connection, another easy & fast way to transfer files between computers is through AIM (AOL Instant Messenger).
iChat has the same ability of transferring large files as AIM.

How do I get iCloud mail from another computer?

I would like to access my iCloud mail from a friend's computer. How do I do that?

I apologize for making an incorrect assumption. After searching now for about 30 minutes I cannot find one conclusive article from Apple that states in plain terms that you cannot access your iCloud email from another computer. I cannot find anything in the ASC when i do a search either. That really seems absurd to me, and probably another reason why I refuse most of the iCloud services myself.
Anyway, that is of not help to you and I apologize for that. This is the most conclusive evidence that I can find that states that you can't read iCloud email on another computer unless that computer is set up with iCloud.
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2638?viewlocale=en_US
I hope for your sake, that I am missing something and it is possible to access mail from another computer, otherwise it is really pointless to rely on iCloud email. I/we have to be missing something somewhere ... I hope.

How to access Time Machine from Another Computer?

My daughter's iBook went down and is in the shop for repair and we want to access her Time Machine back up from another computer. Does anyone know if there is any way to do that?

Time Machine won't do it as far as I can tell.
However, you can access the backups through Finder.
Warning - you *do not* want to do anything but copy out files - no deletes, moves, renames, no nuttin... Doing so will screw up the backups for any future Time Machine use!
If the backups are on an external disk, then just navigate to the folder Backups.backupdb/yourMachineName there you will find each backup by date/time with the contents of the system at that time.
If the backups are to a Time Capsule you need to mount the backups - the sparsebundle file - first then examine the folder Backups.backupdb/yourMachineName.
Time Machine does have a 'Browse Other Time Machine Disks' option, but as far a I can exercise it it only looks at other disks with backups for the same machine.
Again _only copy_ out files. Normally one should only use Time Machine, but here you can't - so be cautious.

Re:iMac remotely accessed from another computer and location?

Can you access an iMac remotely from another computer and location if there is knowone to switch it on?

Barbara,
Both are legitimate concerns, I'll address each as best I can.
As for the the power issue, well that's going to be the case with any computer. We have many choices, most of them impractical for example take your house off the grid, put in your own power source (solar or wind powered) which clearly for most of us is totally impractical. The next thing would be a backup-generator like a hospital or other mission critical facilities (police & fire houses) have. While this is more practical again it's stretching the limits again for most of us. So the next thing is a healthy battery back up system that can maintain power to a computer for several hours if necessary. While they are still expensive they are far less expensive than the first two solutions. Of course you can set the energy saver settings to power on your computer after the power comes back on if even the UPS battery goes dead. I haven't tried this remotely however I think it might work.
Next is security, DropBox and Logmein both address this themselves so I would recommend looking into their solutions. Personally I find them trust worthy and don't have an issue. Even if you use MobileMe you would still have the same concerns, and how about Google, and all the other major players. To me Google while it's a vast resource and extremely helpful if for some reason they decided to become the Evil Empire they have far more access to your information that anything. Anytime you do a simple search they are collecting information about you. For example let's say you are looking for ATM's in a new city, they can capture your search and if they were evil enough they could track your every step. Is this far fetched and ridiculous, of course it is but it is possible. However this is the case with any Internet based computing, if you use some basic common sense for the most part your data is pretty secure. I'm much more nervous about the minimum wage clerk at Taco Bell taking my credit card information than Google, Apple, Logmein or Dropbox doing so.

Importing calendar data from another [dead] computer

My G5 recently died on me, and I'm currently using an older computer (eMac) that's still running 10.4. But I still have access to my G5's hard drive through a FireWire connection. What I'm trying to find a way to do is to reload all my G5 iCal data into my eMac's iCal app. Obviously, I didn't know my computer was going to die on me, so I didn't export an iCal file beforehand. So, assuming all my old calendar data is still on my G5 hard drive, what files will I need to copy over to my eMac? And will there be any complications bringing iCal info from 10.5 over to 10.4?
Thanks a lot for any help.

How do I access data from one user account to another?

I want to access data from a different user account. How do I make all the files available?

I have another post here in the forum that explains in detail about the rez problem. It was read by a lot of people with no responses. 1 thing that might be important is that I was using a Wacom drawing tablet when this problem started. I removed the Wacom software and no help.
My Apple 23" Cinema display has very large icons but the display prefs says it is at 1920 x 1200. It's not just a low screen rez but the dock and all icons will scroll on the screen when I move the mouse.
The resolution will not change to anything else. The rez is fine on other user names.
I have booted from the Apple DVD and run disk repair, repaired disk permissions. Booted and run Tech Tool.
Booted from the Disk Warrior cd and ran that.
I have zapped the PRAM. I have plugged the display into the other port on the video card.
When I change to the problem user name it is fine for about 1 second and then changes to the "problem". I have never seen this before and I have been using a Mac since 1990.
It's a G-5. Dual 2.0 ghz. 2.5 gb ram. OS 10.5.8. Apple keyboard. Logitech mouse and
Thanks.

I am wanting to put the new firmware on to my iPhone 4 and am wondering if I do this from another computer will I loose all my data - i.e music

No you will not lose any data. However a pop up will come up telling you if you want to sync with this computer, and that if you do, that it will erase the data. Just click "No" and you can still update your phone. I've done this a few times.
