How can i remotely connect to my mac without sharing my screen

Hi,
I have a Mac at work to which I occasionally connect from another Mac at home. Now I would love to export the applications similar to Linux where I just set the display to another device. Alternatively, I would also use screen sharing if the remote Mac's screen would not turn on and invite everybody around to follow my work (i.e. the workstation should either stay locked, similar to when connecting to a Window machine with MS Remote Desktop) or it should remain blank.
I am using the latest version of Snow Leopard on all machines.
Thanks for any suggestions,
equinox

TO JAISEN.....
not necessarily, every "computing" device (imac, TC, AEBS, pc) has its own separate set of ports. There is a way to achieve what your trying to do as I'm trying to accomplish the same thing, i have not fully gotten it working yet as i'm restricted to my network so any changes i do, i cant test till i go back to work and use their pc. So let me figure out my way and if i get it working ill tell you how i did it (looking for an alternative to mobile me). But back to your question. I'm going to explain the config settings in airport NAT forwarding. Just remember you imac has to have a static IP.
public udp port: "any port you want to use"- 3032
public tcp port: "same port as above" - 3032
private IP address: "the satic IP of you iMac" - 10.0.1.???
private udp and private tcp: 548
that would be equivalent to
"your-external-ip":3032
the way this works is that you router will take those port (3032) and know that you want to access the the port 548 on your imac ( the private ip),, basically the port 3032 is a substitute for port 548 on you imac.
I hope that helped, maybe you can help me.
I'm trying to access my airdisks remotely. im using that free dns thing, i thing its called dynDNS, and it works %100 as I use it to remote monitor my torrent downloads (transmission with clutch), so at work if i go to my server , i can access the remote torrenting easy because it works through the web browser, but i dont get how to access my airdisks. what do i need to do in windows to access is what im asking???
if you dont mind, i could email you my web address ( im kinda cautious of posting it) and maybe you can test it for me. Do you have a windows pc??

How can I delete podcasts from my Mac without them deleting on my iPhone?

I'm trying to free up some space on my office Mac, and there's only one podcast out of several I actually listen to at work. So I deleted one of the other, bigger podcasts from the list in iTunes.
Unfortunately, when I go into the Podcasts app on my iPhone, that podcast has now been deleted from there too. How can I unlink them so that the podcasts I have on my iPhone don't automatically download on my Mac?

when I delete photos in iPhoto will it delete the same ones on my iPhone via iCloud or the next time I plug in my phone?
If you send the photos to your phone using iTunes Photo Sync (iOS: Syncing with iTunes), yes then the albums and photos that are no longer available on your mac, will be remove from your synced IOS device. To keep them permanently on your phone, save them to the Camera Roll.

How can I remote into my home Mac from work windows PC?

I have a Mac G5 at home and a XP pro computer at work. Is there any way I can remote in to my home computer so I can mess with it while at work? I have so much I want to learn to do on my computer at home, but no time. I spend a lot of time at work on the internet and would like to turn it into productive (for me anyway) time.
thanks
Jason

You can install a VNC server on your Mac and a VNC client on your PC. Then you can log in to your Mac. You can see and control the Mac.
If you Mac is connected to a router, you will need to configure the Mac to have a static (local) IP address. You will need to configure the router to forward/map the appropriate ports to the Mac.

How can I remotely connect to VM outside of Internal Network without connecting to Host Machine?

I am running Windows 7 in a VM: The VM was setup using Hyper-V within Windows Server 2012 R2. First, I configured the
Linksys router Port Forwarding for TCP 3389 and 3390. To both IP addresses. I also created Firewall Inbound Rules for Port 3389 and 3390.
To connect within Network, I simply enter the VM IP address or Computer Name, username and password and the connection is successful. I am also able to connect to the Host Machine out of my local Network by using the
Public IP address.
The Problem:
When I attempt to access the VM, lets say at a Caribou or the Library, or any other outside Network, I am landing into the Host Machine instead of the VM.
For example:
To log into the VM outside, I used the same Public IP address, the username and password to the VM but I am landing in the Host machine with an error message that the user is invalid.
I have also tried the following: Computer Name:3389 but not successful.
How do I access the VM so that the connection is not going to the Host?

What I have done in the past for this is to configure different ports on the router. Generally your router will have a single public IP address. Let's just call it 1.1.1.1. Then in my router I configure ports to be forwarded. Let's assume your
Hyper-V host is 192.168.2.100 and your VM is 192.168.2.101. On the router I configure some port, for example 43100 to be forwarded to 192.168.2.100:3389 for the host. For the VM, port 43101 is forwarded to 192.168.2.101:3389.
Then when I access from the public internet, I connect to 1.1.1.1:43100 for the host or 1.1.1.1:43101 for the VM.

How can I automatically connect to the server without having to type the password and click "connect"?

I have a Mac OS X 10.8 and a Time Capsule configurated as server with a name "Servidor" on my home. The discs are protected by Accounts, so, each person can access the server by typing own name and password. The problem is... Every time I start the computer, I see the window below:
So, every time I start I have to type my name and pass. And the box "Remember this password on my keychain" doesn't work because the "Password" is always blank when I see the window, like the image up.
Please, someone help me to automatize it so I don't need to type nothing to connect to the server. I want something that do it automatically for me.
NOTE: Please, explain clear and with details because I'm a new Mac's user.
Thank so +!

Try running KeyChain First Aid if you have not already done so.
Open Keychain Access and click on the KeyChain Access menu at upper left of the screen
Click KeyChain First Aid, then close KeyChain Access
Open System Preferences (gear icon on the dock)
Open Network
Click on AirPort or WiFi on the left
Click Advanced at the lower right
Click to highlight an old network that you no longer need, then click the - (minus) button to delete the listing
Do the same for other neworks that you no longer need
Make sure there is a check mark in the box that reads "Remember networks this computer has joined"
No other boxes should be checked.
Click OK, then click Apply
That is about all that you can do.

How can I remotely disable iMessage on ipad without having to remove from Apple ID

When I moved to the USA I purchased an iPad for my parents who are very technologically challenged so I have them connected to my Apple ID.
Recently my husband and I have been getting a recurring notification that they have signed into iMessage using one of our phone numbers. I have called them and talked them through how to turn it off but somehow they keep turning it back on.
It is at the point I feel like I cant speak freely in text messages because at any point they could be watching.
I have looked under devices and their iPad is not showing up for some reason.
Basically I would like to permanently delete iMessage from their iPad but I do not have physical access to the iPad.
Please help!!!

IMAP is the mail protocol that allows you to delete a message one place and have it delete everywhere else. iCloud uses IMAP, so it should be working. If the messages never delete, then something may be incorrect in the settings. The easiest thing to do with iCloud is to logout of the account on every device, and then login again. (Another common problem with iCloud email is people often have two Apple IDs, and thus may have two iCloud email accounts. If you get confused about which one you're using, you may think you've deleted email when you actually haven't.)
If the iCloud messages do ultimately delete across all devices, then it could be that some devices aren't set to "Push" but are instead set to "Fetch" the newest info from the server. Fetch can be set to as long as an hour between check-ins.
The same holds true for Windstream if she's using an IMAP account there, too. If it's a POP account, then deleting a message one place will never delete it anywhere else—that's the way POP works.

How can I run Worldspan on a mac without using VMware or Parallels?

They have released an app for Iphone, Ipad. But nothing for Mac. (https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/travelport-mobile-agent/id447792568?mt=8)
I currently use VMware, but dont like it.
Please help!

You have a very serious problem and you need to fix it now. And by now I mean it's the very next thing you do on your computer.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do.
Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Both iPhoto and iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.

How can i remote a computer outside of my nextwork and has a dynamic IP

How can i remote a computer outside of my nextwork and has a dynamic IP.
I have have mac set up overseas and will need to remote access it from time to time, but the mac has a dynamic IP, is there anyway around for me to access IT.

The subject of connecting ARD via the Internet has been covered here many times already (search the forum for "Internet"), but take a look at this web page:
http://www.starklmc.com/ard.htm
It should help, though you may have to refer to your router's documentation for specifics on opening and forward ports in that particular unit.
To get a "static IP" use a service like dyndns.com

Can i remotely connect to my external hard disk from my iPhone/iPad?

Hello,
I just bought a new apple time capsule.
Can i remotely connect it with my mac without a static public IP?
I read that i can not reach it remotely anymore for iPhone en iPad since the last update, is that correct?
So than i want to connect my external connected hard disk. Is this possible with my iPhone or iPad?
I heard about filebrowser but it doesn't work well.
And what about apple TV, can i stream from my TC?
Can anybody explain how i can fix this?
Thx
Macbook Pro 2012, iPhone 6, iPad air 2, Apple TV

Apple have no method to connect iOS device to the TC at any time.. LAN or WAN.. so any method you use must come from 3rd party app.
I heard about filebrowser but it doesn't work well.
It works as well as any other app can. Remote access must be based on a network protocol and the only ones supported by Apple are AFP and SMB.
AFAIK people have not been successful getting AFP based file apps on iOS to work remotely although I have not checked closely for a while.
So you have to use SMB.. and at least filebrowser has instructions.
http://www.stratospherix.com/support/gsw_timecapsule.php?page=6remote
It is however unsafe opening SMB at any time. And I suggested people try it with different ports instead of obvious ones.. but that didn't work so why it needs to be 20445 I don't know.. but it does make it fairly obvious.
The alternative method which is really the only safe way to do this is using a different router.. one with built in vpn servers. These used to be expensive but you can buy them now for less than $100.. or use routers with 3rd party. You have to move the TC to being bridged and used as WAP and switch. However that is not a major issue. The vpn router will include a standard ddns client so that fixes not having static IP.
And iOS has good vpn clients built in or app add ons.
VPN is the right way to do this.
And what about apple TV, can i stream from my TC?
TC is a dumb hard disk in a router.. it has no media extensions. Apple TV is not a media player.. it is a streamer. So you must have an application which can stream from TC to the ATV which means you need a computer with iTunes or you need ipad and some software that can read files and stream it.. obviously apple built the system for itunes and itunes pretty much exclusively.
If you get a WD live TV it can play source material directly from TC.. because it is a true media player. Apple TV cannot.

Hello pmarrone,
You may only sign up for an iCloud account via one of the following systems or devices.
You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later. Just follow the setup instructions for your iOS device or Mac.

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad, e.g., mp4 files. Do I have to use iTunes?

How can I transfer files from my mac to my iPad in an easier way? I'd like to put some movies on, and I can use iTunes, but is there another way? I have transferred epub books using Dropbox. Movies eat up a lot of dropbox space and the iPad has trouble getting them.

USB disk. You still have to go through iTunes.
Connect device to computer/mac
Select your device in iTunes menu.
Apps...
At thebottom of the page you will see the app.
Select it and the Add for windows and + for mac
Hope that helped.
In the long run there is no way to access or uplood data on your device without iTunes unless you JailBrake....
