How do I make Back to My Mac Work on 10.4 Server

How do I set up Server 10.4 to work with Back to my Mac. I am using my mac as a router to the internet. Internal to the Internet and an apple Ethernet card serving the other dozen or so devices. Looking at mobile me it says that I do not support NAT-PMP or UNP. NAT is on. ANy ideas anyone?

You don't say what machine(s) you want to connect to from where.
You could perhaps setup a port forward UDP port 4500 using NATural to a specifik machine on the server LAN.
Or use the VPN server so you can connect from Internet to any machine on the server LAN using remote access instead of screen sharing.
If you don't have Remote Desktop Admin you could use a VNC client like JollysVNC (I haven't really tried Back to my Mac).

Can't make "Back to my mac" work for me.

Hello world
I tried everything! Set routers on UPnP. Updated Firmware. Enabeld sharing. Logged out an in .Mac on all my Computers (same .Mac-account). Nothing! B2MM just won't work. Home mac doesn't show up on office mac and the other way round. I'll be thankfull for any suggestions.

Hi
I did some experimenting with the router settings. I could enable IP-Forward (or so. Difficulty is, my system-language and the one of the router are german - and still: some of the things listed in the menu sound rather chinese to me). For a short moment I could "see" and access my home-mac from the office-mac, but home-mac couldn't "see" office-mac. While the office-mac was connected to the home-mac (screen-sharing!), speed was extremly low. Then - as I was setting the office-router the same way as the home-router was - connection broke down and no further connection was possible, although office-mac still listed the home-mac in the finder. All further changes in the router-settings had no positiv effect. So i'm still trying to get this work for me. At least I had a little success. Still waiting for the netopia support to answer. But, if the speed i had, is what i will get, once this thing works the way it is suposted to, this service would not be very useful.

Getting Back To My Mac working in the UK with ADSL

I live in the UK and would like to use Back To My Mac. My home Mac is connected to the internet via ADSL. I have an apple extreme router connected to my ADSL router.
Has anyone managed to make Back To My Mac work in the UK over ADSL? If so, what hardware did you use?
Many Thanks

HOW CAN I MAKE BACK UP FROM MY IMAC TO MY MACBOOK?

HOW CAN I MAKE BACK UP FROM MY IMAC TO MY MACBOOK?

A couple of things, first could you re-phrase your question? It reads like you want to backup your iMac to your MacBook, if so I'd strongly recommend against even trying to do this. I woudl recommend getting an external HD or better even 2 and creating a Time Machine Backup and on a second HD create a bootable clone.
The next thing please do not type in all caps, this is like shouting....we can "hear" you just fine without the shouting.

How do you connect "back to my mac" from and ipod touch?

Does anyone know how to use the back to my mac function with the iphone or ipod touch? This would be really great to get access to the computer like you can with a laptop when on the road.

Hi kclarke2000,
The Apple official feature *Back to My Mac* is only supported from a Mac computer to another Mac! So, this means you won't be able to use this functionality with your iPhone or iPod Touch yet!
However, you may want to leave feedback for Apple, by using filling out [this form|http://www.apple.com/feedback/mobileme.html].
Hope this helps!

How to make site root-relative links work in DW and Server both?

See details on buggy DW image link behavior, below. My question is:
1) how to make site root-relative links work in DW and Server both? Or…
2) how to reliably automate the change of several hundred legacy root-relative links of the form
/images/image.jpg to document-relative?
That is, to
../images/image.jpg or
../../images/image.jpg or
../../../images/image.jpg etc…depending on where the directory is.
The old format (/images/image.jpg ) used to work fine in my previous DW 8 configuration but appear grey in DW after “upgrading” to DW cs5.5 mac. (they look fine on the server, but it’s hard to edit image-heavy pages locally when they are all grey).
I tried changing the files to how DW creates root relative links now:
/public_html/images/image.jpg, which is a very easy, attractive root flow since there’s a one-to-one mapping. These look great in DW but are broken on the server!
I looked at the “advanced” site setup, and it looked like it might be possible to nuke the /public_html/ part of my server info…but it also looked like there was the potential for doing damage changing these settings, which are automatically generated from our server connection settings, which seem to work.
The “links relative to document/ site root” toggle…does that change how DW interprets existing links, or just change the default when you are adding a link? I have made 80% of the file links document relative…before wondering if root-relative isn’t better?
It sure seems less ambiguous for all those images if theres a way to make root relative work for DW design view, DW link check, and server.
Summary of buggy behavior: (see test with images here)
"old style" site root link
      /images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg
      Design veiw in DW: broken (grey w/ broken icon)
      Link check in DW: "external link" (i.e., uncheckable, + file could appear orphaned)
      Browser: good
      Ease of switching: n/a (existing format)
"new style" site root relative link
      /public_html/images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg
      Design veiw in DW: good
      Link check in DW: good
      Browser: broken
      Ease of switching: easy
Document relative link
      ../../images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg
      Design veiw in DW: good
      Link check in DW: good
      Browser: good
      Ease of switching: hard (how to automate?)
Absolute link
      http://www.oasisdesign.net/images/img_book/WScover120x150_NEW.jpg
      Design veiw in DW: broken (grey w/ broken icon)
      Link check in DW: external (i.e., uncheckable, + file could appear orphaned)
      Browser: good
      Ease of switching: n/a...not a real option
Thanks!

Hello again Jon!
Thanks for jumping on this.
All clear and understood about where publc_html is etc.
No contemplation of nuking the actual public_html directory on the server, just the "/public_html" text string at the start of the DW-generated links.
"/public_html" is automatically added to the front of the link in DW if I create the link with any of the GUI tools, if I have "site root relative" selected. And ""/public_html" ends up in the code, and gets uploaded that way to the server, where it (obviously) doesn't work.
Doesn't sound like it is supposed to work this way. Also, what seems to be the usual root relative format (/images/image.jpg) shows as a broken link in the GUI and an external link in the DW link check. All this togther makes me thinkI have some obscure setting incorrect?
The setting that caught my eye is manage sites/ site setup/ advance settings/ local info/ web url, which is automatically set to http://www.oasisdesign.net/public_html/
it gives an option to change it but it makes every effort to make this NOT look like something users should mess with:
Having gone through the more careful thought process during this post, I'm ready to do the experiment of changing the remote server web URL (why is it wrong by default?)...think I'll eat dinner first so there's 45 min to avert disaster if anyone knows this to be a bad idea!
Art
PS--don't have a local testing server...don't think this will solve the GUI broken link/ link shows as external problems.
Is there an easy, automated way to change links sitewide from document to root relative?

How can I make Adobe Photoshop 5.0LE work on my new PC running Windows 8?

Adobe Photoshop LE is too old. I do not think it will work in compatability mode. It was made circa 1998 before XP. It is time to pony up for new software. Adobe Photoshop Elements is inexpensive and provides a world of capabilities undreamt in 1998.

HT4908 how do I enable back to my mac

I'm not sure how to enable bac to my mac laptop. I'm not sure Icloud set up correctly. I have a mac desktop and a mac laptop and would like to share information. Having trouble with the icloud back to my mac set up.

I am able to use Back to My Mac (BTMM) after obtaining an iCloud account. To get both File Sharing and Screen Sharing to work between my Mac Mini and my Mac Pro (both running Lion 10.7.2), here is what I did:
On both machines (or however many Macs you have), click on System Preferences --> Users & Groups
Make sure that the email address listed next to "Apple ID" is your iCloud ID (i.e. [email protected])
Also go to System Preferences --> Sharing and make sure that File Sharing and Screen Sharing are both checked.
After you have changed these settings on each Mac, start Finder. Your shared Mac icon should be visible in the sidebar under Shared. If not, go into the Finder Preferences and under the Sidebar tab, make sure Back to My Mac is checked under the Shared heading.
If you still have problems, try restarting both Macs.
To use File Sharing, start Finder and click the icon for your shared Mac under Shared. In the top right corner of the window, there is a button labeled, "Connect As..." Click this and enter your iCloud ID and password. To use Screen Sharing, click "Share Screen..." and enter the same information.
I hope this helps,

How can I use Back to my Mac when my ISP blocks port 1900?

I was just forced to switch ISPs (don't ask...) and it turns out that my new ISP (Astound) lied to me and actually does block port 1900, which means that Back to my Mac (on which I rely) does not work.
Has anyone seen this and found a viable workaround? Preferably one that is easy for my non-technical family to use also, but all suggestions are welcome.
Thank you!

So, I convinced my ISP to open port 1900 and they did, but it's still not working.
I get two messages that make no sense to me, but I hope indicated something that someone here can help me undertstand...
When I open the iCloud preference pane in System Preferences, It says just below the Back to my Mac setting "Configure Router for better performance" - My Airport Extreme is configured with Back to my Mac and it looks like my account shows a green indicator.
Second, next to the Back to my Mac setting in the iCloud preference pane, there is a button labeled "Details..." When I click that it tells me that "Back to my Mac is not working properly because the DNS server isnt' responding" and suggests I contact my ISP for a different DNS server.
All other internet services - including iCloud services - are working fine. I even tried changing my DNS servers to Google's public DNS servers and nothing changed.
Any suggestions are very much appreciated! Thank you!

How can I make my PowerPC/Windows programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

In a few months I will be buying a MacBook Pro and I have a lot of old games that I would like to be able to play on it. But those games are Windows/PowerPC only and Mac OS X Lion does not support PowerPC. How can I make my old programs work in Mac OS X Lion?

For porting Windows programs to Mac OS X, you can check out Wineskin. It can be very simple to very hard to do though... its all a case by case basis. The older the game is the more likely you are to get it to work easily though.

How do I use Back to My Mac with other iCloud users?

Under MobileMe, I had a family account. I had the main account, and my mother and father, had email only accounts. Also, as I am the unofficial tech support to some friends, I had their Airport base stations registered under my MobileMe account so I could configure and update them remotely.
I've upgraded myself and my parents to free iCloud accounts. I have an admin account on each of their Macs, but both are set to log into their own accounts on startup.
Now I can't see them in my list of Shared resources in the Finder's sidebar. I have no way of connecting with them, except via iChat, which is (in my experience) less reliable and requires more effort on my parents' part.
Is there a way I can configure iCloud on my Mac or theirs, so that we all appear in each other's Shared list as before?

Unfortunately, Back to My Mac only works across computers using the same iCloud account.

How do I Block Back to My Mac on my router?

How can I use Back to My Mac using my Apple ID

I'm having problems accessing my other computers using Back to My Mac. I've gone into System Prefference>iCloud and turn on Back to My Mac on all mey devices. I've have also gone into my router settings and opened the appropriate ports. I can see my other divices in Finder. When I go to connect I am given a choice of "As a registered user" which works sometimes and not others and also "Using an Apple ID" when I choose this option my Apple ID appears in the drop down box (and is the only option in the drop down box). Howevere, when I click "Connect" it comes up with Authentication failed to JQ MacBook Air.
Any Ideas

Hi,
Are they both using the same iCloud account/ Apple ID?
