How to set up remote access to my old Powerbook?

Hello.
I would like to access some files from my old Powerbook from my new Macbook, as I always forget files I wind up needing later (I just recently bought the Macbook) , and don;t want to load everythign which was on my Powerbbok onto my new computer. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Start up the powerbook and immediately hold down the T key, until you see the Firewire logo moving on the screen. This will place your powerbook in "Target Disk Mode". Using a firewire cable plug the powerbook into the Macbook, the powerbooks disk will then mount on the Macbooks desktop and you can copy any files you want across.
Hope this helps.

How to set up remote access on wvc80n without using TZO

Just purchased the WVC80N, but how do you set it up for remote access without using TZO? I can not get TZO to work w/ my Uverse 2wire 3800-hgv-b router. Please help as the uverse customer support has not been helpful with port forwarding either.

Hi, I'm a newbie at this, so pls be patient with my terminology... I want to install 2 or 3 of these cameras in my mother's home, and I will have AT&T DSL service (one dynamic IP address) there with only a modem/wireless router. I want to access the cameras from my laptop or from my Blackberry Tour when I am traveling. Also want to allow access for my other relatives. I do not have another home computer to serve as a WHS, and my laptop is obviously not connected to the internet all of the time. Can I use the DDNS setup with DynDNS to provide access? The instructions that I read seemed to imply that I needed a WHS in order to forward ports, etc. Thanks in advance for your help.. Garry

Set up Remote Access for Mac Mini

I recently bought a Mac Mini and set it up at home. It is running on Mac OS X 10.8.3, and runs on Server 2.2.1 and Airport Utilities 6.2. I would like to be able to access the Mac Mini server from outside my home. Does anyone know the procedure of setting up remote access (through SSH or VPN) without creating an internet domain name? Thanks!
I'm quite new to many of the Apple products, so it would be good if the answers are clearer and more detailed. Thanks!

As Barney-15E says, Back-to-My-Mac is the best option.
After that, try TeamViewer.com
ssh can be done, but there are setup details with respect to your home router to allow port 22 from the Internet side to your Mac mini <http://portforward.com>. And then you will need a dynamic DNS name from someone like No-IP.com or DynDNS.org so you can find your home router. Once you have that setup, you should make sure you use a good strong password, as you have now exposed a known port to the internet <http://xkcd.com/936/> and <https://www.grc.com/haystack.htm>. Don't forget to enable System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login. So now you can ssh, but what do you want to do with that? You can create ssh tunnels for VNC screen sharing and AFP file sharing.
ssh -L 22590:localhost:5900 -L 22548:localhost:548 [email protected]
Now you have logged in and you have 2 tunnels. How to use them.
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> vnc://localhost:22590
Finder -> Go -> Connect to server -> afp://localhost:22548
Back-to-My-Mac and/or TeamViewer.com are easier

How do I transfer my contacts from my old Powerbook G4 to my new Macbook Pro?

how do I transfer my contacts from my old Powerbook G4 to my new one Macbook Pro?
new Macbook Pro is operating on OSX 10.8.2
When I save it as an export then try to open it on the new computer it wants me to delete all my current contacts before it will import.
What happened to MERGING?

On the PowerBook G4, open Address Book and choose File > Back up Address Book...
Save it to your Desktop or directly to the MBP if it is already connected. Otherwise copy the Address Book backup file to the MacBook Pro. Email is also an option.
On the MacBook Pro, open (double-click) the Address Book Backup (abbu) file:
Contacts will launch and display the following:
Click Replace All which will do what it says.

How do I set up remote access so I can access my work iMac from home

I'm sorry, I'm sure I should be able to find the answer to this but so far I can't. I have a G5 Imac at work. I also have one at home. (same model computer) and a G4 powerbook and the new macbook (with the intel processor). Here's my problem. I want to be able to leave my work computer turned on when I go home and access files that are on it from home, or remotely from the macbook wherever I am. Problem is, I have no idea how to set it up to be able to do that. Do I need special software?
Thanks and I apologize if this is covered someplace else. I couldn't find the answer.
George

That is possible. First make sure that this is OK (and allowed) with your IT/computer support at work.
(a) Configuring the work computer...
Is there a router between the work iMac and the internet? If so, the first step is to configure the work iMac to use a static/manual IP address. The next step is to map/forward the appropriate ports through the router to the IP address used by the work iMac.
On the work iMac, open the Sharing preference pane and enable Personal File Sharing.
(b) Accessing the work computer remotely...
You must know the public IP address given by the ISP to your work location. If your ISP gives you an IP address via DHCP this address could periodically change. If your ISP gives you a static/manual IP address the address won't change.
Start/access the file sharing method you want to use and configure it using the IP address from the work computer.

How do I set up remote access to my HD thats hooked to New Airport Extreme

Hi Everyone,
I want to have remote access to my hard drive which is hooked up to the USB Port on the back of the Airport Extreme. I have tried many different configurations and watched youtube videos to help me, to no avail. Apparently there are many ways to do this, but no luck!
Thanks for your help and if you have screen shots even more helpful.
I know I can't be the only one with this question and Apple doesn't make it easy since I called them and they want me to sign up for Mobile Me for $99/yr,
Thanks in Advance,
Robert

I should mention that its the only router I have which is hard wired via cable to modem.

How to set up full access and limited access wireless networks to laptops

Dear Apple,
I just received my Apple 1 TB Time Capsule. Can someone please help me with a network configuration I want to set up?
I have a cable modem, and, three computers: a G4 iMAC (system 10.5.5), an Apple MacBook (system 10.5.5), and, a PC laptop.
The Time Capsule is connect directly to the cable modem.
Regarding the computers:
(1) I want the G4 iMAC to connect directly, via an Ethernet cable, to the Time Capsule, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature, and, with allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
(2) I also want the MacBook laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule via the Airport utility on the laptop, and, WITH FULL ALLOWED ACCESS to the Time Capsule and to the back-up function of the Time Machine feature (using WPA/WPA2 security, and, without the network name visible to third parties), and, WITH allowed access to my HP inkjet printer (class 6110);
(3) I want the PC laptop to wirelessly link to the Time Capsule (using WEP security), but WITHOUT ACCESS to the Time Machine, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the iMAC, WITHOUT access to the back-ups on the MacBook, and, WITHOUT access to the inkjet printer --- I only want the PC to use the Time Capsule as a WIRELESS ROUTER so that the PC laptop can access the internet.
(4) And, finally, I want to specify (Time-Capsule/Time-Machine/server ) access ONLY to the iMAC and the MacBook, so that others cannot gain any access.
I specifically need help to set up and configure the Time Capsule so that the PC laptop, as stated above, should have limited access to the Time Capsule --- namely, only to access the internet, and, not even be aware of stored data on the Time Capsule, not even be aware of the inkjet printer, and, not even see my WPA network name when the PC scans for wireless devices.
I also want the iMAC and the MacBook to have access to each other’s data stored on the Time Capsule (like a common server).
I have an old D-Link DI-624 wireless router that I used before buying the Time Capsule, which is available, if needed. Hopefully, I can configure the Time Capsule so that I would not need the old D-Link.
Thank you in advance,
David.

The basic method for remote access is not changed.
http://gigaom.com/apple/access-your-time-capsule-over-the-internet/
You have a few issues.
The really big one.. the school firewall should not let you connect to home.
Check the IT admin at your school but if they allow anything but a few protocols like http and https through, they are not doing their job. You cannot afford in a large network to have every Tom Dick and Harry access any open device.. that can introduce viruses and trojans into the network behind the firewall.
The general method for remote access on large networks is vpn and the TC offers no vpn connection.. just AFP.
If you intend using 3G wireless stick or the like then you can get access.
The next issue is static public IP or how to find the TC.. you need some way to find the IP if your ISP does not offer static ip, and the tc has no dyndns client. Since Apple shut down new users for mobileme and will close that service there is no method to find the TC IP without owning your own domain. You would be better placing the TC in bridge behind a router that does offer dyndns and port forward AFP (TCP 548) to it.

Setting up remote access from PC to Mac using DynDNS

Hi Guys,
I'm hoping someone can help out, I'm quite desperate here.
I am about to head overseas for three weeks, and need to leave my Mac running, so that I can log into it remotely using a PC. My Mac, is a MacBook Pro, and the PC I will be using is an Asus EEE PC. I will need to do simple things like grab files, open PDFs and run a few applications from time to time on the Mac.
I have a billion 7404VGP router that my Mac will be plugged into, using an ADSL connection. I have a dynamic IP address so I have setup a DynDNS account.
I have read countless tutorials, and posted to a few different sites, but I can not get any consistency in responses or guidance on how to set this up properly. It's killing me.
Am I correct in understanding that VNC is the best method to do this? I'm being told that I also need to open all sorts of ports on the router. Some say I need to 'SSH', others say I need to 'VPN'. I'm quite technically literate but I'm lost in all the protocols and variations people are saying I need to use.
So far, I have setup the following:
*On the Mac:*
- Enabled 'Screen Sharing' in OS X System Preferences > Screen Sharing
- Specified a password for 'VNC viewers may control the screen' within Screen Sharing settings
- Setup a DynDNS account, and created a custom name (ie myname.dyndns.org)
*On the Billion Router*
- Setup the DynDNS configuration so that when the IP address changes it tells the server
- Under Virtual Server, I have added a port forwarding entry as follows:
Schedule: Always On
Application: DynDNS
Protocol: TCP
External Port: 80 to 80
Redirect Port 80 to 80
Internal IP Address: This is where I think I need guidance. I have to select the IP associated with my MAC address, so the IP is 192.168.1.4.
This is as far as I have gotten. I have installed a VNC viewer on the PC, and tried to login using the IP address that shows up in my DynDNS account, but nothing is working.
What am I doing wrong? Can somebody kindly explain (or direct me to), a straight english step by step process of how I can get this going? Any guidance is appreciate it.
Thanks so much.

The grabbing of files is going to complicate things a little bit, as now you want 2 things, not just one.

VNC is a way to control the Mac remotely. But grabbing files will require something else, which is most likely why you got some suggestions for ssh, and/or VPN.
I'm going to suggest TeamViewer Screen Sharing and File Transfer utility (free for personal use).
<http://teamviewer.com/index.aspx>
The advantage of TeamView is that you can both control the screen and you can grab files all in one package.
Just make sure you fully test your setup before leaving.
However, if you want to pursue VNC, I'll add comments below.
So far, I have setup the following:
*On the Mac:*
- Enabled 'Screen Sharing' in OS X System Preferences > Screen Sharing
- Specified a password for 'VNC viewers may control the screen' within Screen Sharing settings
This should be a strong password.
- Setup a DynDNS account, and created a custom name (ie myname.dyndns.org)
So far so good
*On the Billion Router*
- Setup the DynDNS configuration so that when the IP address changes it tells the server
- Under Virtual Server, I have added a port forwarding entry as follows:
Schedule: Always On
Application: DynDNS
Protocol: TCP
External Port: 80 to 80
Redirect Port 80 to 80
Internal IP Address: This is where I think I need guidance. I have to select the IP associated with my MAC address, so the IP is 192.168.1.4.
The port numbers are wrong. Port 80 is for a web server. VNC uses port 5900.
Did you have to manually enter that IP address when you setup the port forwarding? Or does the router have some way of locking into your Mac?
I ask, because of your Mac's IP address is assigned via DHCP, then it is possible the router could change the address it gives to the Mac on a power failure restart, but the port forwarding might be locked into 192.168.1.4.
So if the router needs to have a stable IP address for port forwarding, then you might want to configure the Mac with a fixed IP address (preferably one outside of the routers DHCP assignment range), then use that fixed IP address with port forwarding (always test any configuration change such as this).
Oh yea, you are configuring your Mac to automatically reboot when power is restored (System Preferences -> Energy Saver -> Options -> Restart automatically after power failure
This is as far as I have gotten. I have installed a VNC viewer on the PC, and tried to login using the IP address that shows up in my DynDNS account, but nothing is working.
As mentioned, you need to forward port 5900 for VNC.
What am I doing wrong? Can somebody kindly explain (or direct me to), a straight english step by step process of how I can get this going? Any guidance is appreciate it.
Port forwarding port 5900 should do the trick.
However, at this point you only have screen sharing. You can do stuff to your Mac, but you can not transfer files via this connection.
This is where suggestions for ssh come in (or you could go back to my TeamViewer idea ).
Ssh can offer remote terminal login (PuTTY is a very good Windows Terminal emulator). Ssh can also offer scp (ssh cp) and sftp (ssh ftp) services, both of which can be used to transfer files to and from the Mac securely over the internet.
The easiest PC/Mac file transfer while traveling, would be to find a good Windows sftp GUI application. There are a bunch of them for the Mac so there must be 4 or 5 times as many Windows GUI sftp clients. A Google "windows sftp gui client" search should come up with a few.
OK, getting ssh working.
Enable System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Login.
Now on your router, Port Foward port 22, the ssh port.
Now you should be able to fire up a Windows sftp GUI client, and access your Mac via your DynDNS.org name. The username and password will be your Mac's account short name and password. If you do not know your short name, you can find this via System Preferences -> Accounts
Summary:
o Forward port 5900 for VNC
o Forward port 22 for ssh
o Enable Remote Login on the Mac
o You have already enabled Screen Sharing, and specified a VNC password (goodness).
o Configure the Mac so it will reboot in case of a power failure.
o Make sure the router will still be able to port foward 5900 and 22 after a power failure, either because it locks into the Mac, or because you have given the Mac a fixed IP address.
Now test the heck out of this, from a coffee shop or a friends house.
Even if you configure VNC and ssh, I would suggest also trying TeamView so you have a "Plan B".

How to set up email access on N95 8GB?

Hi
I have an N95 8GB.
I have recently added a data bolt on for accessing work email from my phone and would like to receive a text/message when I receive a new email.
Problem is I can't find any information on how to set this up.
This link looked perfect:
http://www.knowyourmobile.com/nokia/nokian95/nokian95internet/2533/setting_up_email_on_the_nokia_n95...
but following it through on my phone doesn't come up with the same options etc.
So far I have gone to 'messaging', selected 'change me', then - Options - Email Settings - Connection Settings - Incoming e-mail.
Here I am stuck.
Is my username my email address?
Is my password my email account password?
What is my incoming mail server?
What is my access point in use?
What setting should security ports be on?
The settings also say that I cannot have email notifications and email retrieval together. What does this mean?
I would really appreciate it if anyone out there can help.
Thank you

How can I disable remote access connection window ?

When I try to connect (via TCP/IP) with a VI in another PC (in my local network) it appears the remote access connection window.
How can I disable this (programmatically if possible) ?
A big thanks for your answers.
Linus

Randy,
attached the image of the Remote Access Connection Window that appears when I connect to the VI.
It is the Operating System (Windows) classical panel for Remote Access connections using a modem.
Many thanks.
