Best Way To Manage 1 Computer from Another

I got my mom a MacBook and I have a MacBook Pro. She's new to Mac and is very unfamiliar with it. Every now and then she runs across issues she can't resolve herself. I'd like to be able to access her computer from my computer while we are in different cities.
What's the best way to do this? VPN?

I do that with the previously mentioned LogMeIn (which is free.) I also use OSX's Screen Sharing with a VNC client on the PC, although some PC VNC clients do not work correctly with Screen Sharing. Most of the time I just use LogMeIn since I don't have to worry about firewalls and routers, or worrying about VPN compatibility with whatever router is being used at a friends house or Wi-Fi hotspot.

What is the best way to manage Videos from the iPhone 3GS

I want manage videos like pictures.
All vids is stored in my iPhoto Library.
What is the best way to sync them ?

iPhoto supports importing photos and videos from a digital camera that supports capturing video as well as photos.
If the videos were deleted from your iPhone after the iPhoto import process was complete, and you want to transfer a video or videos back to your iPhone for viewing, you need to transfer the videos to iTunes that you want transfered to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process as with any other video.

Best way To get data from another application using NDDE lbrary

My vb.net application gets data from another application using NDDE Library. I got stocks prices (open,high,low,close,volume,change......(about 15 records for each stock)) (about 200 stocks) . I don't know if there is a problem in my code.
This is my code:
l : is the list of stocks.
This Sub connects to server and requests the data :
Public Shared Sub GetQuotes()
Try
client1 = New DdeClient(server, topic)
client1.Connect()
For i As Integer = 0 To l.Count - 1
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$last", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$open", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$high", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$low", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$pclose", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$volume", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$date", 1, True, 60000)
client1.StartAdvise("QO." & l(i).t & ".TAD$time", 1, True, 60000)
Next
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox(ex.Message)
End Try
End Sub
and then I get the data from Client_advise sub (called each time a value changed )and fill the list. What I know is that client advise gets only one record for single stock each time is called..
Example: for stock AAPL. 1st time enters client_Advise I get open price for AAPL, 2nd time I get high price for AAPL,3rd time I get low price..... and I update the value in the List (l)
This the client_Advise Sub:
Private Shared Sub client1_Advise(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As NDde.Client.DdeAdviseEventArgs) Handles client1.Advise
For q As Integer = 0 To l.Count - 1
If l(q).t = w(1) Then
Dim item() As String = e.Item.Split("$")
If l(q).Open = "#" Then
l(q).Open = "0"
End If
If l(q).hi = "#" Then
l(q).hi = "0"
End If
If l(q).lo = "#" Then
l(q).lo = "0"
End If
If l(q).Close = "" Or l(q).Close = "#" Then
l(q).Close = "0"
End If
If l(q).pclose = "#" Then
l(q).pclose = "0"
End If
If item(1) = "open" Then
l(q).Open = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "last" Then
l(q).Close = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "high" Then
l(q).hi = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "volume" Then
l(q).Volume = Val(e.Text)
ElseIf item(1) = "low" Then
l(q).lo = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
ElseIf item(1) = "pclose" Then
l(q).pclose = Format(Val(e.Text), "0.00")
If l(q).pclose <> "" And l(q).pclose <> "#" And l(q).Close <> "" And l(q).Close <> "#" Then
l(q).c = Format(l(q).Close - l(q).pclose, "0.00")
l(q).cp = Format(((l(q).Close - l(q).pclose) / l(q).pclose) * 100, "0.00")
End If
l(q).flag1 = 2
ElseIf item(1) = "date" Then
l(q).Date1 = e.Text
ElseIf item(1) = "time" Then
l(q).Time = e.Text
End If
Exit For
End If
Next
End Sub
Am I doing something wrong which inreases CPU usage to 80 or 90 % ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi MikeHammadi,
According to your description, you'd like to get data from another app using NDDE library.
When using the NDDE library, the CPU usage is high. As the NDDE library is third-party library, it is not supported here. I suggest you checking if the problem is caused by the NDDE library.
If you'd like to get data from another app. I suggest you could save the data in the dataBase, and then read it in another application if necessary.
If you have any other concern regarding this issue, please feel free to let me know.
Best regards,

Whats the best way to manage 100s of thumbnails?

I'm trying to build a simple photo management app in java, like Picasa2. I want to be able to scroll through 100s of thumbnails. Whats the best way to manage them from a memory standpoint?
a) can I load up 100s of thumbnails into a JScrollPane? If so, will it do anything special to manage memory for the thumbnails that are offscreen?
b) should I just draw up a grid of JLabels and page through them like you would in html?
Is there another approach? Is there any special way to manage the thumbnails that are offscreen (besides loading them all in memory ) and still get a fast response time?
BTW, if anyone wants to join me in this project, I'm happy to opensource and share.

Because for some of us, it takes a lot longer than 5 mins. Besides, I was on someone else's computer.
Regardless, I've implemented JList for images, and it works really well. For those of you who are following in my footsteps, the answer is:
JList renders ImageIcons by default.
If you want to render a JLabel with an ImageIcon set to an image, you need to write a custom ListCellRenderer, but it turns out that is not too hard. But here is a follow-up problem:
My app has JLabels that subscribe to an ImageLoader that loads images in the background. On init() the JLabel just has the ImageIcon set to a placeholder image:
          myJLabel.imgIcon = new ImageIcon();
          myJLabel.imgIcon.setImage( myPlaceholderImage );
However, once the actual image is loaded, I call a refresh method to set the ImageIcon to a new image:
          myJLabel.imgIcon.setImage( myLoadedBufferedImage );
My problem is getting the JList to render the updated JLabel. Right now, I keep a reference to the JList with myJLabel and call revalidate() on refresh, but that doesn't seem very clean.
Is there an easy/natural place to get the JList to revalidate()?
Can I easily know which JLabels are in the viewport of the JList scrollpane? That way I could revalidate only the visible JLabels or when scrolling.

Best way to manage multiple iTunes accounts (from different countries)

Ok, wasn't sure if this was the best community to ask this question, but here goes.
My wife and I have two iTunes accounts, one originally from the United States, the other originally from Australia. Over the years content has been purchased using both accounts.
We currently reside in Australia and primarily view our content on Apple TV. So far we’ve had no problems logging into either account and accessing all our content.
Now, I have a fear (perhaps an irrational one) that if we choose to permanently reside in one country (Australia, the US, somewhere else) that at some point Apple may cancel/restrict one of these accounts. Since there is no way for me to merge all our purchased digital content into the one digital library, we’re now wondering the best way to manage this?
I see there is a new "family sharing" feature soon to be launched, so that may be half the solution (assuming it will work with family members in different continents). If so, the other half of the question is, will we be able to still purchase content on both accounts? While in Australia since April we have rented movies on both accounts, but have only purchased movies etc on the Australian account (we can still do this on the US account, but we haven't risked it in case it gets cancelled because Apple decides we're no longer in the US - in other words, we don't want to spend $$$ on movies we may not be able to access in future).
What do others think? What is the best way for us to manage our scenario? Or am I worried about nothing and we can continue purchasing content on either account without fear of “losing” it later?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I did try and ring Apple, but the guy refused to give me advice until I provided my details and I did't want to do that at this stage.
Thanks everyone for your help!
MM

You may lose the ability to purchase content from the USA, but any content you've already bought will remain accessible. Back everything up.

What is the best way to manage tasks? I have moved from outlook and only have mail and ical

What is the best way to manage tasks. I have moved from a pc with outlook and have lost 'tasks' in that programme. Do I have to rely on ical or can I download an app to manage business tasks?

iCal does have reminders but its implementation of tasks is pretty wimpy. There are a number of programs that are better geared to the job. I was a level 4 procrastinator until I discovered Getting Things Done and for me Things is perfect. It lets me handle projects which are dependent upon multiple tasks in a no-nonsense easy fashion. Much less expensive and really not much more than a list maker is Wunderlist. Thankfully there's a ton of shareware offerings - check out MacUpdate.com and see what works for you.

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?

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.

What is the best way to manage multiple devices with one iMac - different users with seperate itunes accounts or one mac user with different itune logons and libraries?

Hello
I have just purchased an imac which I am very happy with. In our household we also have two iphones (one mine and one husbands) and one ipod (my sons). We all have individual itunes accounts set up on our previous computer (not a mac). We have sepereate apps and music, although there may be the odd occasion where we would like to share a song (if this is possible) across devices.
I am just wondering the best way to manage these devices using the new imac. Should I create individual accounts to logon to the imac, then from within these launch our own itunes accounts and sync our devices with these. Or should I be using one version of itunes, logging on to this with our different itunes usernames and storing things in libraries.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I am presuming that we cannot share downloaded apps and music between accounts because of the copyright issue,
Though I'm no copyright lawyer, as long as it's within a household, you can share content among users. Such sharing is, absent specific language preventing it not present in the iTunes Store terms of use, generally considered to be "personal use". So you can share apps and music amongst your users on your computer and with their devices. You just can't give any of that content to friends or relatives who don't live with you.
What I am not clear on, it making sure that this appears in each itunes account - is it easy to find the file storage folders that match the itunes accounts and what would these be?
The iTunes library and files are by default in a user's Home/Music folder. But you don't have to find the folder; in fact putting a file into the folder yourself won't add the file to iTunes. Just drag the file into the iTunes window. iTunes will copy it to the correct location.

What is the best way to manage photos - Dropbox (with sync), Facebook (with sync), iPhoto, etc.?

With so many cloud based and wireless syncing services, I'm lost as to the simplest way to keep photos sync'd as well as backed up. My dropbox is currently syncing all photos I take with my iphone, but in an overall folder called CAMERA UPLOADS, so they are uncategorized. I upload pics to facebook, which facebook also has a sync photos feature, but I don't necessarily want all photos uploaded to facebook. What has worked best for everyone so that there aren't a ton of dupicate photos everywhere, and multiple syncs of the same photos?
Also, what is the best way to manage my iPhone photos generally? I'm never sure if I delete a photo from my phone, does it delete it on my computer via iCloud? Sometimes I just take a picture to send to a friend that I don't need to keep, while others are ones I want to sync to my computer. Can I control when deleting that it be deleted everywhere or just on the device? And alternately, can I choose certain photos not to sync via iCloud?
iCloud makes me nervous. Once when I wanted to place all photos of my pup into a folder, I selected the photos on my iPhone and accidentally clicked delete instead of move. No big deal, I figured they'd be at home sync'd on the cloud. But since I'd deleted them on my phone, the cloud deleted them on my home computer too and the photos were lost.

What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone?

What is the best way of putting music onto another iphone for a different itunes account user and different phone carrier? multiple user accounts on my mac? or home sharing to put the music on? then they have their own itunes account for apps etc?

Hi DVX100Shooter,
Congratulations on getting your son a new iPad, I am sure he will enjoy it.
Family Sharing is one way of managing both purchases and content between members of a related group of people. Each member must have their own Apple ID. You can choose what music you wish to share with the family from your own account. See this article -
OS X Yosemite: Share purchases with your family
In particular the section titled Hide a purchase from other family members
The music library on your son's iPad is separate from yours, but under Family Sharing you agree to pay for all purchases made through the iTunes store. If you wish to control what is purchased you can set up the Ask to Buy option for any family member under adult age in your location. See this article for details -
Request and make purchases with Ask to Buy - Apple Support
Gift cards may not be used for billing of purchases under family sharing, with the exception that a family member may use gift cards to purchase their own content. See this article for information about Family Sharing billing policies -
Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
The shared family photo album is available to all family members.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Best way to manage 8i and 9i databases?

Hi,
I'm looking for the best way to manage 8i, 9i, 10g and 11g databases with EM (of course, upgrading the 8i databases is not an option). I successfully installed OMS 12c, but the 12.1 agent will not connect to the 8i databases. What are the alternatives?
-The 10g agent can manage 8i, but will it be able to connect to 12.1 OMS?
-If this doesn't work, I guess I would need a 12.1 OMS for 9i, 10g and 11g databases, and a 10g OMS for the 8i databases. Is this a viable solution? Can 10g and 12.1 OMS coexist within the same environment?
I'm looking for the best scenario that actually works, I understand that anything that connects to 8i will not be supported.
Thanks.

Hi.
I'm afraid you got it right.
Let's distinguish between MONITORING- which is done by the agent and MANAGEMENT (administration, maintenance, performance management etc) - which is done directly from the OMS.
According to my experience:
OEM 10G is the last version that can fully MANAGE 8i databases.
OEM 11G can MONITOR 8i databases (via a 10G agent) but cannot MANAGE them (or in other words ,the 11G OMS cannot connect to 8i databases).
OEM 12C cannot MONITOR nor MANAGE 8i databases.
If you use OEM to fully manage your 8i databases (and plan to continue doing so) I suggest you keep a dedicated OEM 10G installation for those databases.
There's no problem using 2 different OMS installations and many organizations choose to do so for various reasons.
The downsides are that you'll need to duplicate your OEM configurations (monitoring templates, rules etc) and of course- you won't be able to manage all databases in a single console...
If you use OEM to only monitor the 8i databases, you can create a set of user defined metrics that will run against a 9i database and will connect to the 8i databases via DB Link.
This solution is far from ideal but it might eliminate the need for maintaining another OMS installation if all you need is monitoring the 8i databases.
Erez.

What is the best way to manage photo's with multiple login accounts?

There are three people in my household and each has their own login into the computer. I also have and external drive. Space is becoming short on the computer, so I want to move all my photos and music to the external drive. I have moved all the music files and folders to the external drive and then each user has just updated their individual iTunes folders, pointing to the external drive.
However, what is the best way to manage photo's? Do I do this same process or is there another way? I don't want any music or photo files on the computer's hard drive at all if it can be avoided.

What is the best way to manage tabIndex

Hallo. I am trying to understand what is the best way to manage the taborder inside flex. If, in my application there are several account and thus several states (1 for each account) i can prepare my states so that some components are visible and some not.. The problem is that, for each state the taborder can change even if the objects are the same.. What is the best way to manage tabIndex relatively to the different states in which the objects are?
Thx
Max

I liked tab order very much (top to bottom, left to right) ..but because of the problem i had and you answered here:
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/971994?tstart=0
I cannot use tab order because, in that group that focus goes from object n to 1 and the only way to solve the issue is to set tabIndex manually.. Is there another way??.. It seems like tabIndex setted manually has precedence on native taborder so i think i have to manage all the state with manual tabIndex isnt'it??.. Or maybe ia have another way?
Thx for the answer

Same content, two books each with its own page size -- best way to manage?

Does anyone have any suggestions for producing two FrameMaker books that:
Contain identical content that must also be periodically updated
Must be delivered as two separate PDF books, each book having a different page size
I'm familiar with migrating FrameMaker content from one page size to another: Create a new chapter template of the desired size, then import styles, etc., and content into that new template.
But IF one must deliver the same content in two different books, AND each book using a different page size (U.S. Letter and B5), AND the content is periodically updated and maintained, THEN what's the best way to manage that same content, two different page-sizes delivery problem?
PDFs are generated from FrameMaker 7 or 8 (we have both) via Adobe Distiller 9.
Cheers & thanks for your help,
Riley

Use three directories - one for the master FM document, and one "build" directory for each of the formats you need. When it's time to build, copy all the files into the relevant build directory and do your stylesheet applying, book regenerating, and printing in the build directory.
If you decide to handle it in FrameMaker (rather than Acrobat), then use two stylesheets - one with all the formats you need and letter-sized pages, and one with no formats and with B5 sized pages. This way you only need to manage one stylesheet for most formatting controls (except page layouts), and you only need to import the page layouts when you want to build a document or "toggle" it between different page sizes. How similar these two stylesheets are to each other (on the master pages) depends on how much you think you can get away with:
If the page sizes are similar, use different pages sizes but identical text frames on the master pages if you can. This would give you identical pagination although the margins would be different. You might be able to find an optimum "compromise" text frame size that fits both page sizes reasonably well.
If you can't use the same text frame sizes on the master pages, then of course your pagination is going to change, but at least try to use text frames that are the same WIDTH. This avoids needing to manually adjust side-head areas, pictures, and table widths every time you change the page size.

What's the best way to manage Apple IDs for multiple devices?

Hi,
We have
a shared Macbook air
a shared iPad
my iPhone
his iPhone
We want to put one ID on the Macbook and iPad that we can use to have the same iMessage on both and that we can put a card on and use in the iTunes store etc.
We also want to have our own iMessages on our iPhones, plus be able to use the account with the cards on them to purchase and share across devices...
What's the best way to manage them all?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iTunes is straight forward, just use the same ID on all of them.
What exactly do you want to see in messages on the Mac and iPad, messages combined from each of your phones or a different account just for both of you.
You should think about what you want in calendars, contacts etc, on your shared devices.

How is the best way to manage the stats table?

Hello!
I have the Integration 2.1 working with an Oracle 8.1.7 db. I noticed that the table
STATS is growing pretty fast.
How is the best way to manage this table?... I haven't found something related with
this issue in the documentation, but at least I want to know how to safely delete
records from this table.
For example, if I know the minimal time I have to keep in the table, is quite simple
to create a shell script and/or Oracle pl/sql job to trim the table.
I hope somebody can help me!!!!
Thank you!
