Back to My Mac through iPhone

Is it possible to use Back to My Mac while using my iPhone to connect to the internet from my MacBook Pro.
I am currently away working for several weeks and would like to access some material on my iMac. Back to My Mac was set up on the iMac before I travelled (including the modem), but I am unable to obtain a connection. In fact I can no longer even see shared options in open windows.

Try, if removing this folder
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
from the User Library in your admin acoount will help. Don't delete it, just remove it to the Desktop and restart the system.

HT4907 I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air

I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini. So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

Back to my Mac for iPhone

I'd like to see Apple provide Back to my Mac for the iPhone. Since Apple already provides screen sharing for the Mac, it'd be great to extend this function to the iPhone. Seems like a no-brainer. I have RemoteTap which works some of the time, but if Apple did it, it would likely be more robust since they already have done it for Macs.

Time Capsule remotely using Back To My Mac with iPhone.

I'm connecting my Time Capsule remotely using iCloud - Back To My Mac. It's possible to make the same connection using my iPad 2 or my iPhone?

What is the exact model of your modem?
Do you use pppoe authentication in the modem.. If so you can just bridge it and use pppoe in the TC without any issues.
Apple cannot be expected to fix every modem and every ISP out there. Unfortunately networking is done is so many ways that it is impossible.. the ISP is actually the one who should help but they generally are useless.. or want you to pay for support.
Yes, send pics of the configuration.
Are you getting a public IP from your ISP? If not then none of this will work.
How are you testing access? You cannot test from inside the LAN .. you must use a Mac computer from internet access that is not firewalled.
Remember this is a two way street.. both ends have to have full access.
If the BTMM approaches doesn't work do try it manually..
There is clear instructions on the web to setup access.
See http://gigaom.com/2009/05/14/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
You don't need to do the fancy scripting.. just setup your modem router to forward port 548 to the TC.
You don't give wan access in this case... you are accessing on LAN.
But you do need to use some more security than normal TC password.. ie use disk password.
This is proof of concept.. if this works then BTMM should work if you get all the settings right.

Back to my Mac through Windows Small Business Server 2003

I have been able to use Back to my Mac from my work to access by home Mac. I have an airport extreme base station at my home. At work, I have Windows Small Business Server 2003 functioning as the firewall, DHCP router, basically everything. I cannot access my Mac at work from home. I figure something needs to be opened up in the Windows SBS box, but I can't figure what I need to do nor how to do it. Any ideas?

You don't need to do anything special on the SBS 2003. Simply create shares on the folders you want to access. Then on your Mac use the Network icon which will search your network for any shares (this is similar to the My Network Places in Windows). Once your Mac OS discovers the share and you double click on it, if you have any type of security (NTFS) permissions, Mac OS will prompt you to enter a username/password/domain and the ability to save the credentials.

Can I transfer email accounts back to my MAC from Iphone?

I posted this question in the MAC mail section of the discussion forums but got no response. Thought I would try here.
Two days ago my Macbook Pro HDD died:(
I took it into apple and they replaced it. I had LOADS of stuff backed up but somethings I did not. Such as all my email accounts and their respective settings and passwords. However- they are on my iphone. I was able to transfer all my contacts from my iphone to my computer but I cannot seem to figure out how to transfer email accounts. Is it possible? How do you do it?
Thanks!

Is there a way to move backed .mov FROM Mac TO iPhone Camera Roll?

Hi
I found iOS app drop2Roll to move photos from my computer to the Camera Roll (not any synced album/project from iPhoto). Sadly it seem as if it not supports movies. Does anyone know of a sollution (without jailbreak) to move .mov (shot with iPhone and backed to computer before restore) back to the Camera Roll?
Thankful for any help.
/Erik

Thank you for your quick response.
Are there any apps that can do this, or is there a way to create an app to do this?

No Audio when playing DVD's backed up on mac through Front Row

I have backed up my DVD library to an external hard drive and created an alias so that I can access them through front row. When I play them in the DVD player I have no problems, but when I play them in Front Row, I don't get any audio. Has anyone experienced this before?

Unfortunately, it's against the Terms of Use to post about "ripping" DVDs. It may be legal in your location, but in the United States (where these forums are hosted) it's illegal so you can't post about it. My advice, would be to post your topic again, including the exact details about the files you've saved (what video format they are) but skip the part about them coming from DVDs... If you've saved some VIDEO_TS folders, this may be a little more complicated, but you could say they were your own DVDs from iDVD. This topic will probably be deleted since it violates the ToU.

How to access time capsulewhen connected to other networks using back to my mac and iclous

so i need help on using the back to my mac through iCloud to connect to my time capsule so i can access my time capsule when im connected to other networks like at work, firends house, school so i can get my files and use the timemachine

Is the TC the main router in the network.. if not it doesn't work??
Did you read the instructions Apple give for connection via BTMM?
Most important.. you must have full access to icloud from behind whatever firewall your workplace, school etc has otherwise it won't work.
Finally, don't use TM over BTMM.. it is far too slow and is going to corrupt the backup.. there is a huge amount of checking going back and forth.. the general internet upload speed is not good enough. Just use cloud for backup on the move.. forget try to connect to TM. Or carry a 2.5" drive which are light and portable.

Since update of my MAC my Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my MAC to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud.

Since update of my Mac Book Pro my previously drafted Notes no longer appear on my Mac but are still available through iCloud on my iPhone and iPad. How do I get my Mac to sync with the other devices as e'thing else has synced on my MAC through iCloud. Also since the update Notes no longer appear as a folder in "Mail" but are now a distinct programme-is there any way of returning Notes to the Mail programme?

Thanks, but I've been on the phone with AppleCare US (where I am and live) and AppleCare UK. They continue bouncing me back and forth without helping resolve the problem.
Perhaps someones knows how to further escalate the issue at Apple?

Back To My Mac to a Time Capsule through a 3Com Router not working

I have a Mac Book Pro (10.5.7), Time Capsule (7.4.1), 3Com Office Connect Wireless Router (3CRWDR101A-75), a trial subscription to Mobile Me and a 2.5G iPhone (2.2.1).
I have been unable to get BTTM from my Mac on a remote wireless connection to my Time Capsule working - hence this post.
The set up of the Time Capsule was quite straightforward (as I would have expected from Apple) and I quickly established local and remote iCal / Address Book sync between my Mac, www.me.com and my iPhone. I have enabled and am the 2.4 and 5GHz bands on the Time Capsule and the wireless air interface on the 3Com router has been turned off. All of internet and email services on my Mac work well locally and Time Machine work. So far so good.
However, I am unable to 'see' my Time Capsule in Finder from any WiFi network that is not my home network. When at home I have full access to Time Capsule's disk.
My 3Com Office Router 3CRWDR101A-75 is not on the list of supported routers (nor is any other 3Com Router) but it does provide UPnP and NAT as required according to Mobile Sync notes including http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1552 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1552. Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to find out from Apple's MobileMe support if there are any minimum requirements for any router to work with Back To My Mac so can't check to see if my 3Com router will ever work with BTTM or not.
Does anyone have any similar experience with setting up a 3Com Office Connect router to work with Back to My Mac?
Do I need to check / Can I check if my Time Capsule has been registered with the Mobile Me servers?
Do I need to enable any specific ports on my 3Com Office Connect router?
Basic settings:
Time Capsule: green light - all OK
AirPort Utility>Internet: Connection Sharing: Off (Bridge Mode)
AirPort Utility>Advanced>Mobile me: account set up
AirPort Utility>Advanced>IPv6: IPv6 mode = Node, at the request of Apple Mobile Me support
System Preferences>Mobile Me>BackToMy Mac: On (green light).
3Com Office Connect Router: DCHP server: On
3Com Office Connect Router: Firewall level: High (default)
3Com Office Connect Router: Disable NAT: Off (default)
3Com Office Connect Router: Enable Universal Plug & Play: On
3Com Office Connect Router: Enable IPSEC-NAT pass through: ON, at the request of Apple Mobile me support
Com Office Connect Router: DMZ: enable 1-to-1 NAT: Off (default)
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Quick update on troubleshooting BTTM (or rather Back To My Time Capsule)...
Surprising;y, no 3Com products listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1304. 3Com tech support stated that no OfficeConnect products have been qualified against BTTM and my specific router does not support IPv6 over IPv4 encapsulation.
MobileMe support were not able to help, citing the fact that I had an unsupported router.
I have made no change to my modem/router config since first posted but since an upgrade of my TC to 7.4.2 I have been able to use BTTM with my TC (bridge mode) and my OfficeConnect modem/router (802.11b WiFi disabled).
I have made limited testing from other remote locations from my MBP and also proved that it worked over a 3G/UMTS connection on the UK's 02 network also
MobileMe still reporting uPnP / NAT problem on my MBP when working remotely though.
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9733258 confirms that this has been solved and, apart from the anomalous Mobileme status message, I can agree.
Good news so now do not need to swap out my 3Com router. Also shows that this 3Com product does meet BTTM connectivity requirements.

Hi, susiebroll.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You will need to reset your old Apple ID password via the steps in the first article below to transfer your purchases from your old Apple ID to your Mac. If you do not have access to the email account or are not receiving the password reset link, see the second article.
