Free remote control\observe software on 10.6.8 iMacs

Hi,
Does anybody know of any free software similar to Lanschool?
I have a teacher that wants to be able to view\control, etc. a class of iMacs.
Cheers

You can setup a VNC server in Mac OS 10.6
http://www.dssw.co.uk/blog/2010/08/13/setting-up-the-vnc-server-in-mac-os-x-10-6 /
Once the server is setup on each iMacs, you will need a VNC client to access them
Like Chicken of the VNC (silly name but it works great)
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
You can also use a server and a viewer called Vine from Test plant

No Free Remote Controls

Why has Verizon changed their policies on free remote controls? In addition to paying for cable fees, I pay $38 per month for renting FIOS equipment that is 6 years old. They want another $15 for replacing one remote control. This is highway robbery.

Amen dmart.
I called, fully expecting a no hassle customer service experience. It isn't the $15, it is the fact that after spending $3,000 a year for 10 years the CSR is amazed that I think they should replace their broken equipment for free.
Verizon hates its customers. They can, because Comcast hates us too.
As bad as politicians and just as corrupt.

My remote Control doesn't work with my new imac

Of course I already check with my iphone dock and the batteries are OK, So I think it's a bug from the OS.

ITunes on imac G4 flat Panel-Remote Control?

I have a iMac G4 flat panel which I love. I have 10.4.6 OS and I want to use a remote control to use iTunes while I am in the same room using a treadmill I have.
Does anyone know if there is a usb or firewire Remote Control for the imac that will work with itunes on my imac so I can change songs and turn sound up/down without getting off the treadmill?
thanks.
Imac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) bluetooth, wifi

Try using a remote control such as this one; on the iMac, look through these scripts for something you like, and then save it as an application if necessary and set it to be opened by a button on the remote.

IMac Install Discs And Remote Control ?

I have just purchased a 24" 2.8 GHz iMac.
1. The 2 double layer install DVDs appear to be just that .......... are they iMac specific or just normal Leopard installation discs ?
2. Have they stopped using magnets to hold the remote control on the computer ?

they are iMac specific
Yes, no more holding magnets stopped that when they went alu...
if you don't have it at too much o an angel you can rest it on top.. they should have given an alu remote to match it though. that might b why it doesn't stick any more you have to hide the un-matching remote lol

Is there a FREE Parental Controls software for Mac?

Does anyone know of a free parental controls software for Mac? I have OS 10.3.9 and don't want to (or need to) get 10.4 +. Thus I can't run safari 2.0 or later and I want to have parental controls. I suspect it's out there but I can't seem to find it. TIA all.

For Tiger, Workgroup Manager (part of the free Tiger Server Admin Tools) offers greatly expanded account management options than what the built-in Parental Controls offers. OS X Server is not required; it works great on the regular OS X.
There was a version for Panther too, but I never tried it, so I don't know if it will do what you need. But the screen shot on the download page suggests that it might. You might want to download it yourself and try it out:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxserver1034admintools.html
You might also try asking your question in the "OS X 10.3 and earlier" forum here in the discussions. This forum is for Tiger only.

Firewall software & using a remote control for AirTunes?

I recently turned on the built-in firewall on my MacBook Pro. Ever since doing so, every time a run iTunes, get the following message:
Your computer is using firewall software that prevents
you from using a remote control for AirTunes.
To use a remote control for AirTunes, open System Preferences, click
Sharing, then click Firewall, and select "iTunes Music Sharing."
I always tell it to "Ignore" and I am able to play music through my AirPort Express without any trouble. What is the "remote control" to which this message is referring? I have searched Apple's support pages and this forum without any luck. I thought that opening the "iTunes Music Sharing" port in the firewall would allow other people on my local network to see my music if I was sharing it, which I am not. I don't see what this has to do with a remote control.
Thank you for any info you can provide.

Hi,
there is no remote control for AirPortExpress or Air Tunes. Maybe we will see something like this in the futue, who knows.
As AirTunes uses streaming, it probabely needs the same port open as Music Sharing. Because shared music is streamed too.

This was solved by simply allowing "iTunes Music Sharing" in the Firewall tab of the Sharing preference pane.

Remote control software

I am a new owner of a Powerbook so excuse the rookie questions. I need to be able to remotely control a couple of Windows machines. Previous to my Mac I used either gotomypc or logmein. Both work sort of with the mac but not very well at all. Very slow. I would like some recommendations for software that will perform this function better with my new mac. Preferably something web based like I have been using up to this point.
Thanks for your time.

You should be able to use any VNC client/server combination. Install the server on PC, and the client on your Mac.
Numerous titles can be found at versiontracker.com or macupdate.com.

Software needed for Pavilion dv2201ca web cam plus remote control function

HP Pavilion dv2201ca - Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
Replaced hard drive and reloaded software using System Recovery DVD and downloaded SP-1 and SP-2.
The web cam and the remote control features do not function after installing the above software and using online updating for the installed software.
Can someone please direct me to a link that will provide the proper web and remote software?

Didn't find the soft pac for the remote control installation, just instructions for using the TV functions. On a separate forum I found a reference to " sp40139 " to resolve the remote control problem on a different operating system. I downloaded the file (29Mb) but was afraid to install it for my 32 bit Vista Home Premium OS. If I could find the link to the location where this soft pac was located, I could probably find the correct one.
My computer dv2201ca is probably of Canadian origin ..... would there be a different support site for this?

Can I upgrade the software on an old 30GB Ipod so that I can use the functions on a Headset remote control

I've purchased new headphones that has aremote control that operates with latest generation of IPods. Can I upgrade the software on my older IPod to allow the RC to work with it

Additionally, it's not just a matter of software on the iPod. To support the remote control signals on the headphones cord, the newest iPod have a different headphone jack. The hardware is different, compared to your older iPod.

When will Canon start making its' own software for remote control since Pixela is so terrible at it?

It totally sucks that Canon dares sell their camcorder on the fact that YOUR smartphone is the remote control and yet they have ZERO support on the software! At present your chances are far more likely that your smartphone will not work with the Pixela software and that you WILL NOT HAVE A REMOTE CONTROL for your Canon product. Canon seems very uninterested in taking care of this problem.
How many people have bought a Canon product with the promise of your remote control being your smartphone and then not finding that they have a phones that is not “compatible” ?!?!?!? Is Canon expected everyone that buys one of these to then buy a matching phone? This is crazy and it sure puts a terrible light on Canon!
This is my first Canon product and I am NOT impressed! I have the Canon Vixia HF R42 and Android 2.3.4 and I am NOT a happy camper with Canon! Send me my damned remote control for this camera!

Canon should have a complete list of all the phones that do not work with this crappy software maker! Better yet, they should include a real remote with their cameras, but at present Canon needs to advertise that more than likely their camcorders with be remoteLESS for you! This is crazy that you don’t know until AFTER you get the Canon product home that you might have to buy a new phone to have a remote control.
This seriously SUCKS!

Desktop remote control software for iPhones?

Is there any software for desktop pc's to remote control an iPhone? I see numerous apps to control things from the iPhone, but I need one for the other way around.
We are looking to possibly deploy our own in-house app, but need to remote control the devices for troubleshooting/presentation purposes.
Any information is appreciated!

Not as of yet. The only thing that is remotely (no pun intended) close is remote file access, like apps such as Air Sharing.

I am a newer about LabVIEW.How can I realize a remote control in a Web brower.

"To transform your application into a remote laboratory, make sure the VI that you want to publish is loaded into LabVIEW memory. Next, select the Web Publishing Tool option from the Tools menu. This window is the main window for interactively creating and publishing your remote laboratory
The Web publishing tool will automatically load in the Document Title and VI Name text fields. As the sample image in Figure 6 illustrates, the Document Title, Text 1, and Text 2 are all text fields that you can use to customize the Web page created with the publishing tool.
The second step necessary to enable a remote laboratory is to select the Start Web Server button. When pressed, this button activates the built-in LabVIEW Web server, which will publish and control your front panel images from the Internet.
Once the Web server is activated, the actual HTML document needs to be created and saved so it can be accessed remotely. Clicking on Save to Disk places an HTML file called Document Title.htm into the LabVIEW file folder called WWW by default. Saving your Remote Panels HTML documents into this folder will ensure that the LabVIEW Web server can find them. Either keep the default name, or assign a new name and save the file. Once saved, a new panel entitled Document URL pops up with a message box containing the URL address of your enabled LabVIEW application.
Click on OK in the Document URL window and then click on Done in the Web Publishing Tool window. Your lab is now ready for remote visitors
Required Software
To operate a LabVIEW program using remote panels, it is necessary to have the free LabVIEW run-time engine installed on the client computer. When a remote viewer logs onto the lab with the appropriate URL address, the LabVIEW front panel will appear in the browser, or reroute the user to install the run-time engine from the National Instruments Web site.
Application Control
Once connected to the remote laboratory, the client connection will automatically be in a monitor state. If another client is controlling the remote laboratory, the user will be able to monitor the actions of the controlling client. To request control of the program, right click on the front panel and select Request Control. Once selected, one of two possible messages will appear. Either the user will be granted control (Control Granted), or the user will see a message indicating that control is currently granted to another user (Waiting for control: Either the server is locked or another client has control). If another client has control, the controlling client will be notified that control time has now become limited. Once the timeout occurs or the controlling client has released control, application control is automatically switched to the requesting client (Control Granted). Once the user has been granted control, all icons and controls will become active and running the LabVIEW application is exactly like running the application from the local environment.
Releasing Control
When the remote viewer either moves on to a different URL address or relinquishes control by right clicking and selecting (Release Control), or when the remote laboratory times out, the remote laboratory is available to the next visitor."
The above is what I read from a text of ni.com,
but I can not obtain the result.
Thanks a lot!

Hi
I don't see which LV version you are using. It's important to know, that you need the FDS or PDS package of LV 6.1 to work with remote control. This feature is not supported in the LV base package of LV 6.1.
If you have LV 6.1 FDS or PDS, which of the described steps are not working?

Confilicts with XP "Remote Desktop" and ZFD4 "Remote Control"

He have a similar problem like this. Some machines, after installing Zen4
agent, after first login, the WS reboot automatically every time.
He have discovered a conflit with display adapter ( Intel eXtreme graphics
2 ).
Resolution: With workstation at CTRL+ALT+DEL or password prompt, access
the registry of this machine with a remote admin WS. At the
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Run commands, find startup
tools from the display adapter, like HotKeysCmds -> C:\Windows\System32
\hkcmd.exe and remove them from registry.
Logon at the WS and if it run fine, reinstall the display adapter.
I hope this help you.

I'm not sure if Apple Remote can, but
Microsoft offers a free program called Remote Desktop Connection so you can do just that.
