How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network?

How do I control my mac from another mac not in the same network? Thanks

You can do it manually, but it is much simpler if you use a tool such as Back To My Mac, LogMeIn, or something like that. Those programs enable you to connect to your computer through your router without you having to adjust the router settings manually.

Can I share my library from a computer not on the same network?

Hey!
My family and I have always had our music on iTunes the family Mac computer. I'm moving and just got my first macbook (woo!). Is it possible to share or move the iTunes library from the family Mac onto my computer which will not be on the same network?
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't share music over different networks with homesharing. Put the content on an external drive or USB stick and import it to the other computer.

My wireless printer appears as offline on my Macbook, despite being visible on the network and printable from a Windows laptop on the same network. Was fine previously. Any thoughts?

I have a MacBook Pro running 10.6.8.
I have a wirelessly networked printer (HP PhotoSmart D110).
All worked well until a couple of months ago.
For reasons unknown, I stopped being able to print wirelessly to the printer from the Macbook. It appears as offline on the HP Photosmart utillity that pops up.
I can print to teh same printer from a Windows PC on the same network.
I have also logged onto the printer, using it's IP address and printed its test page, so obvioulsy not a printer fault as such.
The old PowerBook on the same network doesn't print to it either.
Grateful for any thoughts for quick tests or tips.
Paul.

Nice one Ron, you're a star.
That was a complete fix.
My preferences was slightly different, but it was the same approach.
I had 4 printers listed. Some old ones that I no longer had and the one that didn't work. I deleted all of them, then hit '+'.
It came back up, searched for new drivers, then I was able to print as per normal.
Result.

WebI:Creating a minus query from data providers not using the same universe

Hi there. A client of ours wishes to use Combined Query on multiple universes in the same WebI report. So far, I have heard it is not feasible in WebI. I know it is possible in DeskI. Even the sub-query option is limited to just one universe in WebI. So, I am stuck.
Is there a workaround to creating a minus query from data providers not using the same universe in WebI?

Hello Amit,
what are the Datasources ? Usually when you create a Sub Query you can choose a seperate Universe.
Maybe if you only see one Universe you only have the rights for this Universe ?!.
Regards

Is there a way to keep selected apps that you have on your admin account inaccessible and unseen from another admin account on the same Mac?

My sister and I share computers, but it's really her Mac because she got it for her birthday. I'm using it because there is no other place to hold my iTunes library, documents, photos, etc.
She complains that I make the computer too slow after I downloaded/installed too many apps from the Mac App Store using my admin account and my iTunes account. However, they show up on her account as well, and she doesn't want to see them or have her computer slow down, so she deletes them. Is there a way to make certain apps unseen and inaccessible from other admin users on the same machine?

Only by storing them on an encrypted disk image. Anyone who has an administrator password to a Mac can use it to access all unencrypted data on the system.

How to have projectname_edge.js in a subfolder? (not in the same folder as the project file)

Hello,
Is it possible to have the file projectname_edge.js in a subfolder? Not in the same folder with projectname.html.
It seems that edge.5.0.1.min.js looks for dependencies only in the same place as the main file of the project. Moving projectname_edge.js to other folder (js, script, etc) causes the animation not to run. Can I store it in different folder? I would like to put it into "Content" or "Scripts" folder on the server.
I am trying to integrate edge animation into ASP.NET MVC application, and I do not have any index.html file. I am inserting the  section into the view (the .cshtml file stored in subfolder). Having the projectname_edge.js in the main server path require to deal with security settings, so I would like to put it in 'Scripts'.
I found the video showing the solution for the older API: http://www.edgedocks.com/content/edge-animate-publish-files-and-js-folder but it is no longer valid with Edge 5.0 API
Any ideas how to achieve this?
Thank you in advance!
Eric

Thank You! This is exactly what I looked for!
Additionaly having runtime projectname_edge.js in htmlroot in ASP.NET MVC website, is slowing down the animation show up. Now (with subfolder) it working fast and fluid
Many, many thanks!

Do you have a home network?
Personal File Sharing: You can connect Macs on a local network with Tiger’s Personal File Sharing, which allows you to mount folders from the sharing Mac on the master Mac—note that the slave Macs do the sharing; the master Mac doesn’t have to. To turn on Personal File Sharing on the slave Mac, do this:
Open System Preferences.
In the System Preferences window, click Sharing.
In the Sharing pane, click Services.
In the Select a Service to Change Its Settings list, select the Personal File Sharing checkbox.
Now that the slave Mac has sharing turned on, you can mount it on the master Mac’s Desktop:
In the Finder, choose Go -> Network.
In the Network window, select the sharing Mac.
Click Connect.
In the Connect to Server window, click Registered User, enter the user account name and password for the sharing Mac, and then click Connect.
In the window that appears, select the volume that contains the folder you want to sync with, and then click OK.

I need to format my mac from another mac

I have a macbook and a friend has given me a macbook pro to format mine from the latter.
My floppy disk drive does not work and I need to make it like that.
Can someone help me and to explain to me which is the process?
Thank you very much

There is no absolute need to isolate Windows from your Mac.
You do, however, have to protect the Windows side of your computer with antivirus and antimalware software.
You can decide on the level of integration.
You can share a specific folder to move files between the two operating systems.
You can just drag and drop files between OSX and Windows without creating a shared directory.

Try installing SharePoints on the primary Mac, and using it to share the external drives.

How do I prevent a user from opening multiple instances on the same computer?

On the site oldnavyweekly.com there is a .swf that prevents users from opening multiple instances of the site at the same time on the same computer. If you open the site, and try to open it a second time in another window, it won't load. You can't open the site again until the first window is closed. How did they implement this?
From my analysis it is NOT:
1. Cookies - The block still takes place if you try opening it in IE and also try opening it in Firefox simultaneously.
2. Flash Cookies - The block still takes place if I disable flash cookies.
3. IP Based Block - You are not blocked if you open the site on two separate computers with the same outbound IP address. From my analysis, their server does not assist in the block at all.
It seems as if their .swf is creating some kind of global system-wide object that can be detected in other instances of the application on the same machine. How did they implement this?
Thanks!

you're welcome.
actually, unless you take an extra step, the first opened swf will close. if you want the 2nd to close, the initial receiving lc will send a message to sender that causes the sender to close.

How do you stop your phone from creating two albums with the same photos after syncing?

When I first bought my phone I was able to sync my photos by checking the folder I wanted synced under iTunes. This put all those photos on photo library on my phone. I recently added more photos to that folder and tried to sync them it now put them in the photo library album and also created another album with my folder name. So I have two albums with the same photos. I tried in checking that folder in iTunes and of course they're not in my photo library. Please help. I don't want two albums with the same pics

This is how Apple has always handled photos. nothing has changed at all.
Just as your music is in your library and you can access those exact same songs from a playlist, all of your synced pics are in the Photo Library and those exact same photos (NOT duplicates) can be accessed from the album name that you chose to sync.

How can I transfer files between a PC and a Mac NOT on the same network?

I have an iCloud account, a Time Capsule and a Seagate Free Agent portable hard drive. Which ways can I transfer files (any or all three?) and how? Here's my dilemma: I'm a graphic designer and I work on a PC at my office. At home I use my MacBook Pro...same programs, save files. However, I had trouble earlier saving my new documents onto the Free Agent from my MacBook Pro as the Free Agent was Read Only and original files on it were from the PC. The PC is not on my Time Capsule network and not accessible or even close to my MacBook. I simply want to be able to save the files I updated/changed on my Mac to somewhere that I can access them later from that PC...right now they are saved to my Documents folder. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

Can I sync certain itmes from one itunes account and certain items from another itunes account on the same ipad?

I was wondering if an individual would be able to sync certain items from one itunes account and and items from a different itunes account to the same ipad?

You move the song files to /Users/Shared/ and then into iTunes from the other Mac OS X user account.
If you want to change the iTunes Store account associated with them, you need to redownload them from that account.
