How Can I Share a Screen Remotely?

I know how to do it on a local network. I have a AirPort Extreme and am wanting to set it up where If I am away from home on my MacBook I can access the house and help the family with problems they often run into.
I figured out how to forward my ports correctly but I am lost on logging into my router remotely. How do I know what to type in?

So I should be able to go into any router and enter http://70.178.2xx.xxx...
Go into a router? I'm not sure what you mean by that.
To access your computer remotely, you would use the same viewing utility (like a VNC client) you normally use to view the screen. You would enter the public IP address of the computer that you want to view into that client.
I use either Chicken of the VNC or the VNC app on my iPod touch.

    By enabling Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Both computers need to be connected to your local network, preferably by Ethernet.

  • How can i share my screen with my tv

    how can i display my laptop screen on a tv for a presentation?

    You can get an adapter from the output port of your Mac to the input port of your TV.
    Depends on what inputs are on your TV. {VGA, HDMI, Composite Video, S-Video}
    Depends on what output is on your Mac. {Mini DVI, Mini DisplayPort, Thunderbolt}

  • HT201317 I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    I have a MobileMe account and have shared many MobileMe Galleries.  MobileMe Galleries are going away in June.  How can I share a photo album with others using iCloud?

    The new ios version of iPhoto allows sharing.  Here's a blurb from Apple's web site:
    There’s the old way of creating photo galleries, then there’s the iPhoto way. Select a group of photos and iPhoto automatically flows them into a beautiful journal that’s fun to personalize and share online. Touch a photo to make it bigger or smaller. Or drag it to a different spot on the screen. iPhoto adjusts the page around whatever you’re doing, so your journal always looks great. You can even add captions, maps, dates, and weather — giving family and friends the big picture at a glance.
    More things you can do:
    With iPhoto, there’s more than one way to share a photo. Post pictures directly to Facebook, Flickr, or Twitter. Play an impromptu slideshow on your iPad or iPhone. Or stream photos to your HDTV to give your big moments room to shine.
    I have not used ios version of iPhoto to share "journals" and I'm not sure this is part of iCloud or not.  You'll have to do a google search on "ios iphoto" and read up of this journal thing.  As far as I know, this is the only way of sharing photos.  I'm not sure whether other friends use a browser to view these journals or whether they need something special.  Any way - search around to find answers.

  • Can't share my screen or access audio

    I keep getting the message that "Adobe Connect quit unexpectedly" when trying to connect to a meeting. I get that when I dial in. If I just wait, it connects anyway even though I get that message. However, I can't share my screen or hear/share audio. When I try to share my screen I get the unexpectedly quit message again. And this time it really never just starts to work. I am using a Mac OS 10.7.5. Any ideas? This worked fine until a few months ago.

    Correct, the ~ should be where your username is. You may have to enable hidden folders to get to the Macromedia folder. Here is a more indepth description: Having problems with the Adobe Connect add-in on OS X? Here is how to uninstall it. | Puppies, Flowers, Rainbows and Kit…
    However, you can get the latest add-in here: Adobe Connect Downloads and Updates
    If the meeting room launches in your web browser, then you don't have the add-in. If the meeting room launches in a stand alone window, then you have the add in. That is the easiest way to tell.

  • How can i share my ITunes library with 2 IPhones?

    My wife and i each have administrator rights on our accounts and both have an IPhone 3G. How can i share the single ITunes library on our MacBook so that the music is synced when we connect our IPhones.
    I have checked other posts but to no avail.
    Thanks

    Drag your \Music\iTunes\ folder to the Shared directory.In the Finder, right click - get info.
    Go to *Sharing & Permissions* tab and make sure everyone has Read/Write permissions and click the Gear and *Apply to enclosed items*.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library file_ in the \Shared\iTunes\ folder.
    Log out and your wife logs in.
    Hold Option and launch iTunes.
    Select *Choose library* and select the _iTunes library file_ in the \Shared\iTunes\ folder.
    If hse has music in her iTunes library that was not in your , sh eFile -> Add to library and select those items in her \Music\iTunes\iTunes media folder.
    Then she can delete \Music\iTunes\ folder.

  • How can I share my iTunes library with 2 iTunes accounts?

    How can I share my iTunes library between me and my wife?
    I do not want to set-up 2 seperate accounts on my mac. Do not want to do home sharing or anything like this. 
    I just would like to connect my iPad to ONE itunes library and at the same time connect my wifes iPad to the SAME itunes library. Can this be done? How? Thanks! Maybe the answer is something really easy like "just connect both to the computer and sync them".
    Thanks!

    Plug them in and use them.
    That is all you need to do.
    In the answer from Apple I do not find anything about how the 2 exisiting iTunes accounts will be handled.
    They will be handled fine.
    All purchases from both iTunes accounts can be sync'd to both/either iPads with no problem.
    I have three iTunes accounts (me and two daughters), 3 iPhones, an iPad and a few iPods.
    Any/all content can be sync'd to any device, no problems.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
    Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud.
    You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
    The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photosstream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
    To avoid confusion when discussing your problem, when I mention iCloud, I am referring to the services under the iCloud login, Whereas I will refer to the whole cloud thing as The Cloud.
    If only one of you purchases content from iTunes (this includes Books and apps too) then I suggest you use that account for each of you for iTunes only.

  • Have original iPad and just got iPad2 in same household with same email ID but with different interests.  How can we share purchased items, email and yet keep our own separate interests?

    We have iPad and ipad2 with one email address but two owners.  How can we share purchases, receive same email messages but have individual accounts at the same time?  Can we have same Apple User ID with different passwords?  Hepl!

    Aside from the fact that we have hijacked this thread - which we really shouldn't do - you would probably be better off posting questions or seeking advice in the iCloud portion of the Apple Support Communities. I'm sure that there are a lot of more experienced iCloud users on that site than I am.
    I'm not a big believer in iCloud at this point, so my experience with it - other than downloading past purchases - is really pretty limited. I would not want to steer you down the wrong path.
    However, here is the Apple iCloud support website that is loaded with all sorts of information and links to even more information. This will get you started anyway ....

  • How can I share between 2 different accounts.  we have a clinic that serves pediatics and unfortunately, they set up two different accounts within our agency.

    How can we share between two different accounts on the same iPad?  We have a therapy clinic with 2 devices and want to share apps. I did not set up the second one, but how can we fix this ?

         Hi Rosdy, to get the most out of iCloud it is recommended that you use the same account between devices. Thus whenever you buy something on your phone it becomes accessible from your laptop regardless of whether your synced it over usb or not. *
         For more information on iCloud usage please click here.
    * This feature requires that both devices be on the same WiFi network.

  • How can I share two differents Itunes accounts in my Apple TV ? I have one and my wife has another account and we want to share both in our apple tv. How can I do this ???

    I assume you have different iTunes collections on different PC's, or on different logins on the same PC?  If that's the case then just enable "Home Sharing" in each iTunes using the SAME iTunes username and password as you enabled home sharing on the Apple TV with. The account used for home sharing is NOT the same as the account used to access the iTunes store, so as long as you use the same account (pick one, doesn't matter which) then you should see both of yor iTunes libraries on the Apple TV. Note - each iTunes has ti be running in order for the Apple TV to see the library.
    Here's some details on how to do it:
