How can I proxy into my dad's computer to give him technical help?

I need to proxy into my dad's computer (to see what he is seeing) to help him with his almost weekly technical problems. We are both running 10.4.X. Is there an easy (or somewhat easy) way to do this or are there third party downloads to deal with? Assuming both parties are willing to share passwords (as necessary) and give the required access, what apps/process will make this possible? Recommendations?

You can also look into Timbuktu or Chicken of the VNC. For Chicken of the VNC, your dad will need to have the Apple Remote Desktop service running in System Preferences->Sharing. He will also need to click on the Access Privileges button. Then, enable VNC control with a password and type the password to use in the corresponding field.
Good luck,
TK

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • If I imported a CD into my iTunes library from one computer how can I listen to it from another computer?

    If I imported a CD into my iTunes library from one computer how can I listen to it from another computer?  I imported music from a CD into my compter at work and when I got home and went to my iTunes account none of the songs were in my library.  I also noticed that on my Work computer there were a couple songs that I had to click on the little 'cloud' icon before I could listen to them (these were not songs I imported they were songs that were already in my library).  Not sure if this makes semse...help.

    Only if you have iTunes Match or of the computers are on the same local network.

  • How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a databae?

    How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a database using LabVIEW Database Toolkit? I am using Ms Access. Suppose I have three columns in a table, I write 1st row of 1st column, then 1st row of 3rd column. The problem I am having is after writing the 1st row 1st column, the reference goes to second row and if I write into 3rd column, it goes to 2nd row 3rd column. Any suggestion? 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When you do a SQL INSERT command, you create a new row. If you want to change an existing row, you have to use the UPDATE command (i.e. UPDATE tablename SET column = value WHERE some_column=some_value). The some_column could be the unique ID of each row, a date/time, etc.
    I have no idea what function to use in the toolkit to execute a SQL command since I don't use the toolkit. I also don't understand why you just don't do a single INSERT. It would be much faster.

  • Email Password box stays on, forgot password. How can I get into the setup to reset??

    On iPad, the Email Password box appears and will not go away.
    We have reset password, but it will not sync.
    How can I get into Setup, when the Email Password Box will not go away to allow me to get into setup??

    Did you try rebooting the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen?
    If that doesn't work and If the email password screen is preventing you from unlocking the iPad ... Meaning that you cannot access the iPad at all ... You will have to restore the device in order to get rid of the passcode. This situation is very similar to being locked out of the iPad because of a forgotten device passcode.
