How To Remotely Control a PC

Could somebody please explain how I can take control of my sister's laptop as she is unable to download an anti-virus programme. I would like to do it with my Mac (she has Windows). It may make no difference but if so I have Windows on a partition anyway.
Thank you in anticipation.
Tony

Many thanks Arthur. In fact I found a tutorial that was a help but ideally I need to practise how to show my sister how to set up her laptop first so will do that with an old laptop I have. It's good I can work in Windows with both because of your good advice on the question of infections.
I believe she has made a connection before so that may be a help.

How to remotely control WebAS

Hi,
I'm using NetWeaver 2004S, NewYork 711 and NewYork 720, I want to find a solution to remotely control the server, such as remotely re-start WebAS or a specified service, (these WebAS cover windows, Linux, and unix platforms), it would be better if just a command, and I onlyneed to provide the connection parameters.
I know there must be a solution, but I haven't idea how to do this, anyone can help me?
thanks in advance!

Hi,
maybe a standard webservice could help you, with this address :
http://<hostname>:port+13/?wsdl
it provides several monitoring function, and also a "restart" one.
Also you can use the Visual Administrator to connect to a distant server, and reboot from here, also a SAP MMC can be used to reference differents servers.

How to remotely control my Mac at home?

I'm at work on a Mac Pro.
I want to control my iMac at home.
Both of the Macs are running OS Lion (10.7.5).
I just bought Apple Remote Desktop software.
How do I connect & control my Mac at home?
Thanks,
Wayne

You need something different since Remote Desktop only works on the same network. You were not clear.
You need one of these:
Set up and use Back to My Mac - Apple Support
Commercial products like
TeamViewer, free for non-commercial use

How to remotely control objects from transport request

Hi all,
I have to perform some task but can't find the way to get it done. What I have to do is:
a) get list of transport requests for given SAP system (i.e. its import queue)
b) let the user choose transport requests from the list
c) get list of all objects from chosen transport requests
d) control these objects in source and destination (from point a) ) SAP system.
Points a) to c) are easy and already done (using appropriate function modules and ALV objects). But I have no idea how to do things from point d). Control means comparison of dates (i.e. last modified) of objects in source and destination SAP system. The main goal of this approach is to avoid transportation of older objects from source system (DEV) and overwritting newer versions of the objects in destination system (PRD). I tried to use SAP versioning system to check versions remotely (the same way as it can be done from standard SAP transactions, e.g. SE38 for program source) with RFC and it worked fine (see function module SVRS_DISPLAY_REMOTE_DIR). But what about other objects not covered with versioning system? There are 932 objects that can be transported (at least TR_OBJECT_TABLE function module says so). Versions management system covers about 30 (program source, function module, object methods, table definitions, lock objects, and so on) of them. The problem is with the rest (900 transportable objects).
How can I check their dates remotely in source and destination SAP system. Any clues? Manual retrieval of the information about dates of 900 various SAP elements must be very difficult (if possible at all) because so many objects must be spreaded out in many tables. Is there any universal or standard way (report, RFC function module) to get required information?
Thanx in advance,
Jacek Witczak

Hi
There is no automatic way to delete the unnecessary objects from the transport reqeust.
1. Go to Tcode se09 and select the request which contains the unnecessary objects.
2. Select the unnecessary objects and delete manually.
Also if you want to delete the entire request then unlock the request in the tcode SE03 and then delete the request completely.
Also note that if the request is released then you will not be able to delete the objects in that request.
Hope it helps.

How can Remote control my volume??

I see in the pic on the itunes page showing the ability to control the volume on apple TV. how do I get this functionality? I can not find it anywhere!
Thanks, Mark

Well there is another way to control the volume of your reciever using the apple remote app with your second gen apple tv...you can turn on remote speakers setting in itunes, then make sure you select the apple tv as one of your speakers(this should appear as an airplay icon on the bottom right of itunes screan, just click and select apple tv as a speaker), you might have to enable this on apple tv device as well, then in the apple remote software select the itunes library for control instead of apple tv, now you can play your music thru the app and control volume. The kick is that you wont get all the functionality control(see your playlists on the screen, album art etc...you still get a small notification on your tv of what is playing) that you get when selecting apple tv as the library to control. Also if you dont want it to play out of your computure speakers as the same time then you need to only select apple tv as the speaker to control

How to remotely control an instrument?

Hello,
I have an instrument(TDS Oscillscop) hich is connected to a host computer through GPIB, so how can I do to control this instrument at home? thanks,
Mike

You could configure the host computer to use VISA Server, then access the instrument as if it was connected to your computer at home.
The concept is simple, but things like firewalls, routers and port number filtering often get in the way when trying to do this sort of thing over the internet.

How to remote control EyeTV being streamed to ATV3 via AirParrot?

Hi.
I use AirParrot to stream full-screen EyeTV to my ATV3. The ATV is in the living room and the desktop which runs EyeTV is in my office. I'd like to be able to pause, rewind and fast-forward stuff while watching tv in the living room.
EyeTV has an iPhone app called, surprise, surprise, "EyeTV" -- but that app seems to be geared more toward streaming EyeTV content from one's desktop onto the iPhone. I need simple remote functions on the Iphone to control the EyeTV software running on the desktop.
Does anyone have experience with this particular setup? Or any tips what remote app could be used on the iPhone for this?
All best,
Tench

Hi there,
You can do this across any network, as long as you have access on that network. I would recommend setting a static IP address for your Real-Time controller, as the poster above indicated. It would probably be a good idea for you to set this up with your IT administrator, as he/she may have dedicated IP addresses for you.
Other things to watch out for, especially in a company office, are firewalls and anti-virus software on your computer, which may inhibit the ability to communicate with the device in Measurement & Automation Explorer.
Talk to your IT department to make sure that you can be granted access to the network. This also applies to foreign networks; it is possible to connect to your controller on any other network, but you will have to work with your IT department in order to obtain access remotely. For example, you may need to set up VPN.

You can't, you will need to get a new remote.

Specifically:
Set up Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation)
On Apple TV, select Settings from the main menu.
Select General > Remotes > Remote App. If Home Sharing isn't set up on your Apple TV, you should turn it on.
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation) uses Home Sharing to stream content from your iTunes library on your computer to your HDTV.

You can also use Remote to select between available speakers to enhance your audio and video experience.

How to prevent others use their iDevices to remote control apple tv?

Hi All,
I'm wondering that does anyone know how to prevent others use their iDevices to remote control my apple tv?
settings
1. the apple tv is in the school.
2. all students could access the Internet
3. The apple tv is sharing the same Internet with students.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The remote app uses homesharing, therefore anyone wanting to control an Apple TV with the remote app would need to know the home sharing ID and password.

Creative Megaworks 250D 2.1 THX: How can I find a new remote control & spare satellite(s)?

Hi all,
For years, we have owned and used one remarkable speaker set from Creative:
The Creative Megaworks (Cambridge Soundworks) 250D 2.1 THX-certified speakers!
I have no complaints. The sound this small 2.1 set produces is amazing! The 300 watts (RMS) power can shake the whole house - x50W + 2x75W are more than enough! Movies, music, games, everything sounds great - bass is deep and clear, mid-range is good, high frequences are clear! There's no noise and no distortion (I have connected the system to an SPDIF digital connector on my sound card), the Signal-to-Noise ratio is 99 dB, and the frequency response of the set is extremely good, too!
But I have a problem, now. We have broken, by accident, one of the satellites. Now I have only one satellite, and the bass/amplifier with the remote control... Looks like a . system... ;-)
This system was a present for us. Maybe we were lucky, but I am very happy with the build quality of this Creative spaker set. Until we have broken one of the satellites ourselves, yesterday, everything was OK, and the sound it produced was amazing all these years...
I tried to contact a Creative representative, asking if we can maybe order one (or two) spare satellites fot this set, but the only reply (up to now) was:
"You are out of warranty period. Buy a new speaker set."
Well, we could, I guess...
But:
First: Creative does not have (at present) a similar model, 2.1, THX certified, with digital (SPDIF input), 300W+ RMS, 99 dB Signal-to-Noise.
Second, to throw away such an amazing set just because there's one satellite broken? That would be such pity! :-(
I'd like to buy one (or two) new 250D satellites. I was thinking even that, in the worst case, I can maybe try to order 2 satellites from a Creative Gigaworks S750 set. They have very similar characteristics, 70W rms power, 8 ohms, so maybe this'll work. I was trying to check today if two satellites can be ordered, but with no luck up to now... :-(
Does anyone have any similar experience? What do you do if you accidentally have broken up one satellite from a 2./5./7. expensi've speaker set? Should you throw away the whole set? Try to find similar satellites?
I hope Creative support will help, but I don't have much hope, at present...
Does anyone have experience connecting an S750 satellite to a 250D system? Can I expect any problems? Or it'll work?
Finally, just one more question:
The remote control.
Currently, the remote control unit on our 250D model works OK. But I am a bit worried, if anything happens, that the speaker set can become useless. So I'd like to order one spare new remote control for this model, just in case. Can someone help?
Maybe, even if this speaker set is not produced anymore, a new remote control can be ordered from Creative?
I'd really like to make these 250D speakers produce great sound again!? I am a big Creative fan and Creative 250D 2.1 THX is one of the best sound systems I have ever owned (or heard) and I'd like to do everyting to fix things up...
Thanks for all the help!
Cheers! :-)
PS The satellites of the 250D look very much like these. But these Cambridge Soundworks satellites are more powerful (20W RMS); I was even thinking to order a pair of them, but not sure if they'll fit well. Maybe a pair of S750 satellites (70W RMS) is a better idea? But in any case, if I can find a new pair of satellites, what to do with the remote control?... Please, help!

After exchanging several messages with official Creative Support, I feel a bit disappointed... For years, I have believed that Creative is a company that makes amazing audio products. They probably still do, but now that I am a customer who owns an expensive product of theirs, but with expired warranty, they don't want even to suggest a solution that can work for both parties!
Why is Creative Support so un-supportive? :-( I am still a Creative customer, after all, right?
My communication with Support went nowhere. After it was established that our 250D system is out of warranty period (it is only 2 years, btw), they refused to sell me a replacement satellite (even if they still may have some left in stock, for such cases)!
Finally, I found S700 satellites on ebay and I hope that 2 of them will fit well with the 250D system. Impedance of 250D satellites is 8 ohms (S700 satellites are 8 ohms, too), power is almost the same (250D satellites are 75W rms, and S700 are 70W rms), Signal-to-Noise of both systems is 99 dB, and frequency response is similar, too (250D satellites should be around 50Hz - 8 kHz, I think, and S700 should be around 50Hz - 20 kHz).
Well, my final 'point of worry' was that if anything happens with the remote control, we won't be able to switch on/off the system, even if the sub/amplifier works. So, I tried to ask Support just to sell me one new remote control, if they can. To sell, not to give for free, mind this! ;-)
They refused!
My e-mails are either left un-answered, or the only kind of reply I get is 'We can offer you 10% off our new products'. Well, I don't want to buy a whole new expensi've system, if I can just get 1-2 replacement parts for my old one, and have it working for years! :-)
(Imagine you buy an expensive DSLR camera, you break the LCD screen, and imagine how Canon or Nikon refuse to sell you a replacement LCD, because you're out of warranty! I can't imagine that!)
Well, with Creative it looks like this works only this way: Buy a new system. While speaker system is within its warranty period, Creative may replace defecti've and/or broken parts. Once system is out of warranty period, you can simply throw the system away, as Creative will not sell you replacement parts, no matter how politely you ask (and no matter if such parts are available at Creative or not)!
I hope I will be able to use our 250D system for some more time (after the satellites arrive). I don't know how I can find a new remote control, just to be on the safe side.
And I am not sure I will buy Creative product next time. I will carefully look around and maybe will pick up a product from a company which will offer me not only warranty support, but out-of-warranty support, too. That would be wise.
I like how the high-end Creative speaker systems sound. I simply cannot understand how this company can be successful, if they make such great products, but then refuse to help its customers, when they have problems... :-(
