How do I access my iMac remotely when working away from the office?

I work away from the office for much of the time.  How can I access my iMac remotely?

Unless this is critcal for some reason I would not do this.  Unless you understand all the techinolticcal pit falls you can leave your computer dangerusly exposed doing this.  If you are not technical your best bet is going to be to get a wireless router with built in VPN support ($200 - $500) to give you a secure connection home.  And then you will need the Apple Remote Desktop app ($90 I think) and even then it will only work if your work compute is also a Mac.  There are probably other comerial apps that will let you remote into your Mac desktop on windows but will probably be in the $200 price range.

  • How do I access recorded meetings? when I click on the 'meetings' tab it says I don't have permission

    how do I access recorded meetings? when I click on the 'meetings' tab it says I don't have permission

    Meeting recordings will have a direct URL, just like meeting rooms and content within Connect. You likely not a member of the Meeting Host group or Admin group within that Connect account, so you don't have the permissions to access the Meeting Library.
    You will either need the Host of the meeting room that you are looking for the recording of to get you the link, and insure you have the correct permissions to view it, or have them move the recording to the Content Library where it can be placed in a folder that you have permissions to view.

  • Need to stop playback of an FLVPlayback component when navigate away from page!

    I have an movieclip playing as auto start on the first page of my website.  The component continues to play when I navigate away from the page.  How can I stop the playback of the movie if it has not completed when navigation away from the page is invoked.  I have search and am unable to find such an event using an FLVPlayback component.  Presently there is no code in actionscript to display here.
    thanks

    Hi, this is the entire code that is placed on the timeline in frame 1 of the AS line.  There is now an error and the FLVPlayer component, which is also begin in frame 1. At this point there is one method that I thought should work when the vTinesDayBtn is clicked.  However, is not.
    The error is:
    TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    at ewddSite_fla::MainTimeline/vTines()
    ArgumentError: Error #1063: Argument count mismatch on ewddSite_fla::MainTimeline/stoppedVid(). Expected 0, got 1.
    The code is:
    stop();
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.display.*;
    import fl.video.*;
    import fl.video.FLVPlayback;
    function stoppedVid() {
      vidPlay.stop();
    vTinesDayBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, stoppedVid)

  • I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar.  WWhen I start keying in a name, it comes up with the address.  How do I engage the  contact list from the email?

    I've a new account on iMac.  When composing an email the contact list does not show up on the bar, which would allow me to select the persons I want to include on the distribution of the email.  When I start keying in a name in the email, it comes up with the person's address, which shows it is synced.  How do I engage the contact list from the email like I do on my old account (where a contact list icon shows up, along with the "attach" and other icons) ?

    With the New Message window open, go to the View menu and select "Customize Toolbar...".
    In the screen that opens, drag the item labelled "Address" into the Toolbar area of the New Message window, then click the "Done" button.
    That item should be then added to the Toolbar for the New Message window.
    Note that the main Mail window and the New Message window (as well as the separate message window if you open a message that way) use different toolbars - the settings/inclusions for one do not carry over to another.

    If you are using IMAP mail connection (IMAP keeps the  mail on the server), then you just configure the other computer's mail client to access the same account.
    If you are using a POP mail connection, then the mail is generally downloaded to your Mac and deleted from the server.  That is a much more difficult problem to solve.  NOTE:  Google's gmail does have a POP option that does NOT delete the mail on the server, so it is accessible via the gmail web page.
    A lot depends on what you are using for your mail service and whether you are using IMAP or POP protocols.

  • I just bought a new IMAC and i want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?

    I just bought a new IMAC and I want to install the Office Mac 2011, but it doesn´t have a CD unit. How can I do it?

    Howard has the easiest answer. Or at least, cheapest, since you don't need to purchase an external CD/DVD drive.
    The "demo" software from Microsoft's site is exactly the same as what's on the DVD. Install that and activate it with the key in your software box.
    From Microsoft's site:
    How do I install Office for Mac 2011 if my Mac doesn't have a DVD drive?
    There are two options for installing Office for Mac if your Mac doesn't have a DVD drive.
    Option 1: Convert your Office for Mac 2011 trial. To convert a trial version, you must have a valid product key. The product key will convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
    1. Locate the 25-character product key in your product package or confirmation email.
    2. Open any Office for Mac application, like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
    3. On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click Enter your Product Key.
    4. Enter your product key and complete the installation instructions.
    Option 2: If you have not previously installed the trial version, you can download Office for Mac from the Office for Mac website. To download, install, and activate the software you must have a valid Office 2011 product key.
    1. Locate your 25-character product key found in your product package or confirmation email.
    2. Go to www.officeformac.com/download
    3. Click Get Started to start the download process.
    4. When prompted, enter your 25-character product key and select your product language.
    5. When prompted, sign in with your Windows Live ID or sign up and create a new Windows Live ID account.
    6. After you enter your Windows Live ID, you will see a link to download the software. (You will also receive a confirmation email with a link to your My Account page if you prefer to wait and download your software at a later time.)
    7. Click Download Now to start the download.
    8. Save the file to your desktop. Do not change the file name.
    9. When the download is complete, double-click the .dmg file icon on your desktop. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
    10. Follow the instructions in the installer screens to complete your installation.
