Connect to Home Computer using Mail / iChat / Automator / Script Editor

http://screenerschoice.com/video_tutorials/ScreenSharing/ScreenSharing.html
1. Start with Automator > Choose Custom Workflow
2. Drag Launch Application into the window and choose iChat
3. With whatever account you have signed at home (you need 2 accounts), make sure it is logged on. On automator, hit the Record button and Watch Me Do will start recording. (You have to do it in this sequence and no shortcuts or it can get hung up and not continue with the script.)
4. Choose the Finder > Applications > Type iChat > Hit Apple O (for open)
5. In the iChat window for your buddy list click once on the name you want to share with
6. Then on the top menu, go to Buddies > Share my screen with ....

7. Save this workflow as an application
8. Open Applications > Applescript > Script Editor
9. Hit Record
10. Go to Finder > Then keep going through until you find the application you just created and double click on it. Then hit stop on Script Editor.
11. Save this as an application as well. Mail will run these apps, but not the Automator apps.
12. Go to mail and go to rules
13. Create a rule with a few stipulations that will trigger the script. This way, not just anyone can send a script to your computer to control it. It would have to meet all the criteria you set it. Then in the action list in the rule, go to run applescript and choose the file you created with Script Editor.
14. In mail at the other computer, it needs to be set to check mail every so often. I do mine every minute.
15. Also on that computer, the finder window needs to be open. If it is not, the script will not run properly. I don't have time to figure out a workaround for that, so in the meantime, I just open the finder window and minimize it to my dock.

Haven't tired it yet, but a thought would be to create an alias of iChat and place it on the desktop. Then save your scripts on the desktop as well. When you run everything from the desktop, you shouldn't have to have a Finder window open.

Trying to connect a home computer using Outlook 2013 to my business Exchange server 2010.

I have a new Dell XPS with Outlook 2013 installed and the native email client installed. I was able to enter in my exchange 2010 credentials to the native email client and it worked. when I try to enter the credentials for Outlook 2013 I received an error
message.
"the name cannot be resolved. the connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable.
outlook must be online or connected to complete this action"

Hi,
To narrow down the cause, I’d like to recommend the following troubleshooting:
Check if you can connect to your Exchange server externally with another account.
Double confirm the error message when test your RPC over HTTP connectivity.
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,

Is it possible to connect my home computer to files stored on my running osx server mac via VPN

Is it possible to connect my home computer to files stored on my running osx server mac via VPN. I have VPN set up and can access the Calendar and Contacts via a web browser, however I want to be able to access data files store on the hard drive and shared external drives connected to it. The MacPro runs OSX Server Lion. Any Ideas if this is even possible or how to do it!

Yeah, that's what I kinda figured. Maybe there is another solution - here is my situation:
I have internet and cable service through Telus. Telus' system consists of a modem/set-top-box that provides internet (ethernet and wifi) and TV signal (corded) for one TV and another set top box that provides internet (ethernet only) and TV signal (corded) for my other TV in the basement.
I have an Airport Extreme connected to the modem upstairs which I am using as my home network wifi. I also have an external hard drive (USB) connected to it on which my iTunes library is shared with all Apple machines in my home network.
My upstairs ATV, connected to my APE, works fine and streams internet (Netflix), iTunes Store and my shared iTunes drive just fine - the APE is 3 feet away with a great signal.
My downstairs ATV, also connected to my APE via wifi, does not stream so well, particularly the media from the shared drive. I suspect that this is the case because of signal degredation.
Any suggestions on how to reconstruct my home network to enable my downstairs ATV to work properly?

My 5th gen Ipod won't do anything but show the " Connect to your computer, use itunes to restore" screen. However my computer nor anyone else's will recognize my ipod. What can I do?

My ipod will not do anything but show a screen that asks to "connect ipod to computer, use itunes to restore" My computer however will not recognize my ipod at all so there is no way to restore my ipod. I am not skilled in computers but if anyone has a step by step that would be great.

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
B-rock

My ipod says "connect to your computer. use itunes to restore."

My ipod says "connect to your computer. use itunes to restore."
So I plug it into the computer and itunes says it needs to restore, so I click restore, everything seems to go fine, and it says the ipod needs to restart, it does, has a lil progress bar go across the ipod screen, then itunes detects the ipod again and says it needs to be restored again. This is an endless loop, anyone have any idea how to solve this problem?

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? Have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if restoring doesn't work, it may be of some help: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore

"Connect to your computer, use iTunes to restore" loop! Please help!!

Everytime I try to turn on my iPod, it gives me the "Connect to your computer, use iTunes to restore" message so I use iTunes to restore but once it's "done" restoring, it tells me the iPod is still in Recovery Mode and needs to be restored. Someone told me to change the file to a Fat32 file but it's already a Fat32. Someone else suggested to change the drive letter but , unless I'm not doing it right, that's not working either. Any other suggestions?? Thanks!

Yes, it does need to recognize the iPod in order for you to do something like this.
Have you first tried working through these troubleshooting steps to get your iPod recognized in iTunes?

Development on SharePoint on-line using JavaScript in an Script Editor

Hi,
I’m doing a SharePoint development on SharePoint on-line using JavaScript in a Script Editor. I've changed the Calendar NewForm.aspx in SharePoint designer and I should check the Start Date and End date and I should change the procedure of Save button.
The problem is I cannot have the component ID’s. I even tried to create new components and rebuild the form but my script sometimes working and sometimes not working.
I've also tried SharePoint Apps in Visual Studio 2013 and Napa but I have problems accessing SP lists.
Could you please advise me?

Hi Sachin,
Before I read you reply, I had a "Eureka" moment that I was about to write about. I got my Javascipt to read my the value that was set in the Filterdropdown! However, you somewhat burst my balloon with the revelation about how re-sizing
window changes their size (i.e., Large to Medium, etc)? It is true, my function does not work when I click the "restore down" icon on the upper right corner of my window, then it works again when I maximize the window. That sucks : (
Oh, well. Thanks just the same!
For what it is worth, here is the script I wrote:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
//This function reads the digest using /contextinfo.
function ShowAlert()
alert(document.getElementById("Ribbon.ContextualTabs.MyWork.Home.Data-Large-2-1").textContent);
</script>
</head>
<body>
What filter am I set to? Click the Button snd I will tell you... <input type="button" value="Button" onclick="ShowAlert()";/>

Need help connecting to home computer on Aiport from work with afp://

My computer at home has File Sharing enabled and is connected to a wireless network.
I want to connect to my computer at home from work using afp://
It is my experience I would connect to the computer with this format afp://[email protected] if it is not connected to the Aiport. But since it is using the airport, that IP address only connects to the router. How can I then tell the router which 10.0.1.* computer to connect to?
Is there a afp:// format to use ?!?: afp://[email protected] (just an example?)

And that is what evern other forum and webiste tells me. But no one or nothing tells me how. This iks the closest I have found:
to implement inbound port mapping of port 548 (AFP file sharing), to the private IP address of the Mac you are trying to access
Can you give me a step by step how to do or a link with more details.
If I translate my french system -> Admin Airport -> Port Mapping
Public port : ?
Private address : 10.0.1.X
Private port : ?

Unable to connect to home network using a Linksys WRT110 router

I recently had to upgrade from a Linksys G router to a new router--the Linksys WRT110. I was able to connect to the WiFi using my Palm TX prior to doing a firmware update to the Linksys WRT110. Now, my Palm TX doesn't even recognize that there is a network. I put the network name in manually and it still won't connect. I don't know what else to do! Incidentally, my home computer and my laptop connect to the router wirelessly just fine. I appreciate any help that i can get to enable me to use my WiFi on my Palm TX at home.
Thanks.
