Back to my mac - Any suggestions to make it works ?

Hi there.
Well, before I was with my Airport Express only in bridge mode and all my macs had their own public IP address. This, with dyndns, was really easy to take my mac remotely, accessing files, screen, ftp, ssh, anything...
But now, I changed and started a subnet... and really I hate it lol
But because of "Back to my Mac", I thought it would be easy to manage that.
Thanks to Time Capsule, the DHCP reservation is easy, and the NAT protocol seems to make everything easy and nothing or quite nothing to setup.
Unfortunately, Back to my Mac is not working for me.
I tried to close my .Mac sessions on my two computers, and restart then relogin (and thanks my local iDisk was stopped )... but the problem stays.
When I'm at home, my Finder window shows "Shared" with my computers (Mini (10.5.2), Time Capsule, OldMac (10.3.9). So with OldMac I know it works fine lol...
But when I'm outside... I never have the "Shared" part.
Also I found a tip to activate a "Screen Sharing" browser, I discovered with that that the address for my mac is, for example, Mini.MyMacAccountName.members.mac.com. , but this address did not work, even locally (I mean even if I'm at home, I can use Mini.local. but not the complete address)...
Can you help me on that.
I have to say that I use the french version in my session.
Is that normal that the address is not working locally ? Can someone try...?
Thanks!!

Have you tried holding down the home/power button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.   If that doesn't work, try that step again but with your phone plug into your Mac.

  • I am having trouble installing Adobe flash to my i mac--any suggestions?

    I am having trouble downloading and installing Adobe flash player to my i mac,--any suggestions?

    Two bugs, one affecting Apple's Mac platform and another attacking Microsoft's Windows, exploit certain Flash player vulnerabilities to install malware onto users' systems, reports ArsTechnica. While users of other operating systems like Linux have yet to report attacks, Adobe's advisory notes the exploit affects all platforms.
    Designated as CVE-2013-0634, the first vulnerability targets the Safari and Firefox Web browsers running on OS X, and is also being used as a trojan to deploy Microsoft Word documents containing malware. For Mac users, the flaw affects Adobe Flash Player version 11.5.502.146 or earlier.
    On March 1 Apple again blocked Flash Player for Lion and Mountain Lion:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5660
    The Adobe Flash patch can be found on Adobe’s website, and users can visit this page to check if their software is the most curent version.
    You should uninstall any previous version first, and repair permissions after installing the new version.

    Pull the power cord from the back of the Time Capsule
    Wait a few minutes
    Push the power cord back into the back of the Time Capsule
    See if the Time Capsule will back up now
    If not, see #C12 in this document:

    As an aside: Some people report that their cat will "mark" the MBP/MBA keyboard, and such "marking" is not civered under warranty.   Closing it while unattended may be wise.

  • I need to access a website that uses Safari 5.0. I'm using 5.1 and OS 10.6.8 and would like to install 5.0. I do not have time machine installed so I cannot go back and reinstall. Any Suggestions?

    I need to access a website that uses Safari 5.0. I'm using 5.1 and OS10.6.8. I do not have Time Machine activated - so I cannot go back and reinstall Safari 5.0  that way. Any suggestions?

    Safari 5.1.9 and Java 6 are the latest versions available for OS X 10.6.8. To upgrade any further you would need to upgrade to Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.4) through the Mac App Store.

  • No pdf printer in mac - so No pdf printer available in 'virtual machine' on the mac-any suggestions?

    I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.2 and I installed CS4 on the laptop.  I have Acrobat 9 Pro - and no pdf 'printer' due to Mac's new operating system.  Unfortunately, I also have a virtual machine on my laptop running Windows XP (with VMWare Fusion).  I need the 'pdf printer' in my virtual machine to create pdf's from my Windows programs.   When I bought the Mac version of CS4 (including Acrobat) I didn't know the 'printer' wasn't included and I can't see buying another Acrobat for Windows....does anyone have any suggestions for installing the pdf printer so my virtual machine has access to the printer?

    Hey, guys! be careful, there's a sneaky catch with this "no-pdf-printer" thing.
    The warning, concerns mostly the pros (publishers, editors, typographers....) who are used in CMYK chromatic gamut.
    The catch is this: you get a CMYK archive, all right, but the color tone IS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT than the one you were used to get with the old good method. That's because, when you choose the "save as adobe pdf" option, initially you get an RGB CONVENTIONAL arch (check the "colors" tag: there 's no CONVENTIONAL CMYK option available). Of course, if you choose to Distill it so that your final arch is a PDF CMYK, what you finally get IS a CMYK archive, BUT: THE COLOR TONE IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT! The Reds are pretty much down, and there's a green-ish cast upon it.
    What you can do (and this could be an answer to the dear friend with the difficult onscreen name) is this:
    You can install a virtual PPD PRINTER (an LPD). If you Google "virtual ppd printer for OS 10.6" you get the directions, DIRECTLY from Adobe (anyhow, the link is http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/404/kb404931.html).
    And... VOI LA! You can use this (choosing as a PPD Device the "GENERAL IMAGESETTER") in order to make things the good old way (print it as a PS and after DISTILL it enjoyably!!!).
    I wonder, why Apple want to make our lives difficult, pretending the same moment that it only makes them easier...
    Well, it's pretty much understandable: SNOW LEOPARD is the "prova generalle" before LION is unleashed. They test us, they weigh us, they are watching our reactions, thus validating for FREE their products. They are clever! but being clever just by considering the others (and treat them) as if they were fools, IS NOT HONEST AT ALL!

  • I can type in a chat, but can't read either what I type or what anyone else types back to me. Any suggestions?

    I get a blank box. When I type and hit enter (or send), I still have a blank box. People can type back to me, but I get nothing. I have no problems logging on to iChat from either my husband's Mac or my iPad, only having problems on this Mac. Using iChat 4.0.9. Mac OS.X 10.5.8. It's been this way for about a year now, and the Mac store can't seem to be able to solve it.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    I've tried downloading AOL Instant Messenger directly (that's the screen name I am using) and it doesn't work. Do I need to uninstall iChat and reload it? How would I get it once I delete it?
    I'll take any suggestions.
    Thanks much

    Hi,
    If your AIM valid Screen Name happens to be an Apple ID then it is likely that only if it is one Ending in @mac.com will it work in Leopard and iChat 4.
    This is because when Apple went to iCloud  they also changed the way iChat 6 and later Mesages logs in.
    Both these version also contact Apple and this then allows the AIM Servers to "read" the password.
    This Dual Login does not happing in earlier versions which means the Apple Servers are not contacted and then the AIM servers are blocked from checking the password.
    It also means you cannot use an @me.com or @icloud.com ending name in the AIM for Mac App, the AIM Settings login page or login to AIM express on any Browser on any device.
    For the Text not showing try this test change first.
    Open iChat.
    Go to the View Menu
    Select the Style option and change it from Balloons to anything else.
    Actually Quit iChat and restart the app.
    Does iChat see the text when not using Balloons ?
    If so you need to reinstall the whole App. The Balloons Style is actually run from a  Plugin but you can only get it by reinstalling the whole app.
    See the Users Tips tab at the top of the Discussions list.
    EDIT Direct link
    Basically tick in your Original Install DIsk.
    Select the Option Installs foldder and launch the OptionalInstals.mpkg
    Pick out iChat only  and Install
    Download and Install (over what you have) the COMBO Installer for OS X 10.5.8 (THIS is needed to update iChat to the corerect version of OS X 10.5.8)

  • I downloaded Adobe acrobat and it will not open on my mac - any suggestions?

    I am new to the cloud and downloaded acrobat - which on my old computer I owned a copy - and can not get this to version to open.  Am I suppose to go thru an app to access it? This is real drag - you download something because you need it right away and than it does not work.  Any suggestions would be so helpful - Thanks.

    Delete the app then reinstall. You do not have to re purchase. Press and hold down the app until it jiggles then tap the circle with an x then tap Delete.
    Then tap the App Store icon... re download the game.
    If you continue to have problems, look for contact information on the developers site.

  • TS3700 have done this and reset my ipod, the music still cuts out when the backing light dims? any suggestions

    I have a 6th generation Ipod nano (it is already a replacement after the firsts hold button broke within its warrenty) So now my replacement before it was even a year old has stopped working, the music cuts out when the screen goes dark. I have checked the earphone socket and tried different earphones, I have reset the ipod and still nothing has changed. the music still cuts out when the screen goes dark, any suggestions?

    before it was even a year old
    Call iPod tech support before your warranty runs out.  Hopefully, you purchased AppleCare for the extra 2 years of piece of mind.

    It appears you have the Zoom accessibility feature turned on.  Tap the screen twice with three fingers to get to the normal screen.  Then go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off Zoom.

    I have iPad 2. Just bought Panasonic AF200. I have adapter to upload pictures. My iPad says device not compatible. Any suggestion to get it working

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks
