How to get Back To My Mac 'like' features with Dynamic DNS

Hi folks. I recently purchased a new NetGear ProSafe Gigabit VPN Firewall (FVS318G) that theoretically supports UPnP (but clearly it does not). I know it does not work because even other applications that make use of UPnP don't work and believe me I've tried EVERYTHING including punching holes for all the right ports through the FireWall... ZIPPO! BTW their (NetGear's) technical support is abysmal. They really don't care... AT ALL.
Even if I make all the correct ports available through the firewall B2MM just says NAT-PNP / UPnP is not available and that B2MM won't work. I suppose it does not even try to see if the ports are available and open despite UPnP not responding. Kinda dumb if that is how Apple has it programmed.
So I'm wondering if it's possible to get access to my home network close to the same way B2MM would give me via assignment of a dynamic DNS name through maybe and some programming of the ports and services on my FireWall.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for this. I think I have all the pieces I just need to know how to assemble them.

If you have gotten a free dyndns domain name and have installed the dyndns updater application, then you need to enable file sharing in your Mac and port forward port 548 through your router to your Mac. I'm not on Snowie at the moment, so don't know if the security stuff in Sys Prefs Firewall is the same -- if so make sure that "allow only essential applications" is NOT selected. Then from a computer outside your home network, in Finder under Go, and select Connect to Server afp://yourPersonal.dyndns.com
Your home computer should then mount as a remote drive on your "outside-the-home-network" computer. I am pretty sure that username and password are encrypted during negotiation of the afp connection, but I don't think subsequent data transfers are. It is possible to "tunnel" the afp connection through an encrypted secure shell tunnel for total security, but that can be a "step two"
once you have demonstrated afp through the router.

How to Get Back my Deleted Mac Mail ???

I need serious help ... !!! I accidentally deleted a folder (with lots of folders inside!) of very important e-mail containing years of research ... !!!
Is there any possible way to get it back? I was trying to change the names of folders, from lower case to upper case, and I got a message telling me that I couldn't do that, because there was already a folder like that.
I saw an extra folder, and clicked on it, but there appeared to be nothing in it, so I chose Delete from the menu. Only to find out it was the real folder with many other folders inside.
I’m using Mac Mail, OS X 10.4.11 -- I did NOT choose Erase Deleted Messages from the menu yet ... !!! Is there still hope to recover all those deleted messages .... ???
I need to get that e-mail back somehow ....
Any suggestions ... ??? Help !!!

Not very likely, but It's possible, but you must quit using the Computer immediately.
Either boot this one in Target mode...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
And recovering from another Mac, or booting this Mac from another HDD, then using Data Rescue II...
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
Or professional Data Recovery Services.
BUT, every second you use that Mac the chances will be slimmer.

How to get back "on my mac" in Notes?

Had an "on my mac" account/section in the Folders List in Notes but deleted the only folder in it which caused "on my mac" to disappear altogether. But I want to have an "on my mac" account/section so that I can keep some notes only for the computer and not for iCloud. How can I restore it. Thanks.

HT1338 I have WIndows on my MACbook Pro which opens when I turn on the laptop. I can't remember what buttons to push to get back to the Mac side. Can Anyone help me remember that?

I have a Macbook Pro that has Windows loaded. I use that most often and it opens immediately upon opening the computer. I can't remember how to get back to the Mac side of the computer and want to begin to use it as well. Can anyone help me remember the buttons to push ?
Thank you

Hold down the Option key when starting up, or restarting. You'll be presented with the Startup Manager, which is a simple graphic of the drives you can boot to. Double click the drive which has OS X on it. Once in OS X, go to the System Preferences and click on Startup Disk. Choose the drive you always want the Mac to boot to first.

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (os x snow leopard) using bootcamp. I can't get back to my mac now. I've tried logging off of windows and shutting it down. when i restart it comes back on in windows. How do I get back to my os x?

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (Mac OS X Snow Leopard) using bootcamp. Windows 7 works great, but I can't get back to my Snow Leopard. When I log off or shut down Windows and try to start up again, all I get is Windows. How do I get back to my mac operating system?

If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

How to get back into Mac OS X Leopard after installin Bootcamp

OK have finally installed Bootcamp and now want to get back to the safe world of Mac again, however although I have been following the instructions in the manual which tell me either to...
a) set the default operating system in Windows by clicking on the Boot Camp system tray item (which doesn't seem to exist) or if it does is so hidden that I cannot find it, or,
b) select an operating system during startup by holding down the option key (which is impossible as I don't have such a key on my non mac wired keyboard)
neither of them seem to work. Whatever I do I cannot get back into my Mac operating system.
If anyone has any ideas as to what I can try I would appreciate your help.
Thanks

Hello:
I believe the following should help. In Windows XP, make your way to C:\Program Files\Bootcamp. You should see an icon labeled "kbdMgr". Double click that and look for the tab labeled "Startup Disk". Click your Mac OS volume as the startup disk. By now, you should also see the gray diamond for the Bootcamp manager in your system tray. Clicking that brings up a menu that allows you to restart in Mac OSX or enter the Bootcamp control panel where you can select a startup disk.

How to get back to regular arrange view after double clicking on a rex file

Hi. How do I get back to the regular arrange view where I can see all of my tracks in the arrange window. I had double clicked on one of the tracks which was a rex file.

How to get back into Time Machine after restore?

I have a MacBook. I had to take it in for repairs. Fry's gave me a loaner Macbook. I successfully used the Migration Assistant to copy all my backups onto the loaner Macbook. All my apps and docs seem to be here.
But now I want to be able to "mount" to my old Time Machine backup "stream". I tried the control-click on Time Machine in the dock to connect to a previous backup, but when I enter Time Machine I can't find any history. I should have like 2 years worth of backups.
Any hints on how to "get back on" an old time machine sequence after a restore?

TM keeps the backups for each Mac separate, and normally only shows the ones for the Mac it's running on, even if there are other Macs' backups on the same disk/partition.
Also, sometimes TM will start a new "sequence" of backups, as if they were from a different Mac.
To see these "other" backups, you need the (badly named) +Browse Other Time Machine Disks+ option. It's available by holding down the Option key while selecting the TM icon in your Menubar, or by control-clicking (right-clicking) the TM icon in your Dock.
You'll see a selection screen showing all the disks/partitions that have TM backups on them. Select the one you want, and you'll be taken to the normal TM "Star Wars" interface, where you should see all the backups on that disk/partition.

How to get mackeeper off my mac?

How to get mackeeper off my mac?

A
"MacKeeper" is a scam with only one useful feature: it deletes itself.
First, back up all data.
Note: These instructions apply to the version of the product that I downloaded and tested in early 2012. I can't be sure that they apply to other versions.
If you have incompletely removed MacKeeper—for example, by dragging the application to the Trash and immediately emptying—then you'll have to reinstall it and start over.
IMPORTANT: "MacKeeper" has what the developer calls an “encryption” feature. In my tests, I didn't try to verify what this feature really does. If you used it to “encrypt” any of your files, “decrypt” them before you uninstall, or (preferably) restore the files from backups made before they were “encrypted.” As the developer is not trustworthy, you should assume that the "decrypted" files are corrupt unless proven otherwise.
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Applications
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A. The "MacKeeper" application is in the folder that opens. Quit it if it's running, then drag it to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your login password. Click the Uninstall MacKeeper button in the dialog that appears. All the other functional components of the software will be deleted. Restart the computer and empty the Trash.
☞ Quit MacKeeper before dragging it to the Trash.
☞ Let MacKeeper delete its other components before you empty the Trash.
☞ Don't try to drag MacKeeper from the Dock or the Launchpad to the Trash.
☞ Don't try to remove MacKeeper while running in safe mode.
B
If you see popup ads for MacKeeper on websites where you haven't seen them before, see below.
You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
          Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
          Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.
