I have a disability , can i work from home as an entry level programmer
i get anxiety , bad, in office settings, is it possible for me to work at home once i graduate school as a java programmer? i won't be able to work in an office i get claustrophobic. derek
The issue isn't whether a person can get work done at home (no problem), the real issue is whether a company will hire a new guy right out of college with no work experience to work at home. It seems really unlikely to me; most companies want you to at least start out at the office so you can learn their codebase and procedures around other, experienced co-workers.
One approach would be to develop a specialized and deep skill set. If you were one of the few programmers who really knew how to handle a particular problem, you might be able to get a job as a consultant. Actually I've seen that a lot; you come into the office once a month for meetings and the rest of the time you work remotely. The tricky part is just getting to that position right out of college.
Another thing you can do is try to get an office job, but select a job with an office you don't find so bad. A lot of offices are designed as just one huge room with a lot of desks (no cubicles). If a company likes you, they might have no trouble making special seating arrangements, or letting you work outside or something.
You might also be able to get pick-up work as a programmer and work from home. Again though you'd need to have a proven skill-set to start out with.
What's your graduate work about? Maybe you can use that.

Hi
I have a Mac at home and a fast internet connection.
We have a LAN at work where my (work) Mac and a file server plus a couple of digital printer reside.
Where do I start to access the LAN from home? Are there any tutorials/advice resources on the web that will help me? Does anyone here have such a set-up as the one I describe?First you have to ask your boss...
If the network at work is behind a router (this is typically the case) you will need to forward the appropriate ports through the router to the device that you want to connect to.
Many employers only allow this access through a secure VPN connection to ensure that only valid users are accessing the network and to ensure that the transferred data isn't viewed or stolen when it crosses the Internet. -

Mozilla just updated to Firefox 4 and disabled my F5 access. I can no longer work from home!
I'm trying to connect to my work network from home, but Firefox automatically updated to Firefox 4 on my home computer and disabled my F5 software which was what I was using to remotely login to my work computer. F5 Networks VPN client is standard stuff issued by my Federal Government job to allow me to work from home.
Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/4.0/system-requirements/
For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Firefox 3.6.x (Mac OS X 10.4 and later) can be found here:

Can it be possible to disable outlook anywhere for some few users who are working from home ?
One of my customer wants to disable outlook anywhere for some of the users who are working from home.They have exchange server 2013 in their premises and also have outlook 2010/2013 on their clients machine.Please advice?
Hi,
In Exchange 2013, all Outlook connectivity (Internal and External) are using Outlook Anywhere anyways. It is not recommended to use the following command to disable Outlook Anywhere for a specific user:
Set-CASMailbox UserA -MAPIBlockOutlookRpcHttp $True
If you disable it, the UserA would not be able to access the mailbox from both Internal Outlook client (Office) and external Outlook client (Home).
For your requirement about disable Outlook anywhere for some few users instead of all external users, there seems to be no method to achieve it directly in Exchange server. Sorry for any inconvenience.
Regards,
Winnie Liang

I've just started working for a media company that provides the music for sporting events. They use iTunes to create playlists that I have to load into an IR machine with hot keys. I also have to edit tracks to create new stings and intros. As there is a 2.5 hour commute, I want to access the work iTunes library from my home MBP so I can work from home. When I'm at work I can share the work iTunes library, but when I'm back home I can't use it. Any ideas of how I could effectively Home Share over the internet with two seperate iTunes accounts?
The work iMac is running 10.7.5 and my MBP is 10.8.4In that case, does anybody know of a program or workaround that will make this so?

iMac at work, iMac at home. (Latest Yosemite and Apple Remote Desktop updates installed) Need to work from home at night. I don't know how to set my permissions so that I can just control my iMac at work.
If they have set up port forwarding for you already then that is different. In that case, then you could be experiencing the bug with the most recent release of ARD (3.7.2) and in particular ARD 3.7.2 and Yosemite ARD version 3.8 clients. It has been reported numerous times in the forums and to Apple that since 3.7.2, clients are frequently unavailable to connect to despite there being no network issue between the remote computer and client computer. I have not seen anyone report it who was working from outside the LAN to inside the LAN, but I have the same issue with a number of my own computers that are simply on a different subnet, so it stands rot reason that it would happen from a port forwarding location.
I am sometimes able to resolve the issue locally by SSH connecting into the client computer using Terminal on my admin machine and restarting or relaunching the ARD agent on the remote device, then trying to connect to it again after about 30 seconds.
The Terminal commands for this procedure are as follows, though you might need to include a port number from outside the LAN:
First:
ssh ipaddress -l adminusername
(example: ssh 192.168.1.1 -l macadmin)
Second:
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent
After that, waiting about 30 seconds and trying to observe or control usually works, though the computer may still fail to show an online or lit-up status indicator. -
How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both. The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.
No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom. -

Creative ideas for Remote Backups and Working from Home??
Here's my problem in a nutshell:
My primary workstation is at my office where all my important files are stored. I backup once a month onto an external firewire drive which I (usually) keep off location in case of fire/theft etc.
In the future I'm going to need to conduct about 75% of my work from my office and the remainder from home. I'd like to be able to work on a file at my office. Go home. Sleep. And be able to work on the same file from home the next morning.
Any ideas for how I should do this? One solution I had was to run a nightly backup of my office computer (a tower) to a remote firewire drive at home (basically a clone). I could then plugin into the firewire drive with my laptop. This would also serve as a remote backup of my client's files.
Does this make sense? And if so, does anyone have any suggestions or pointers in terms of easy-to-use backup software. And how complicated would it be to set this up to a remote drive? And will there be problems with remotely backing us, say, a 500 MB file?
Cheers!What O/Ss are involved; are they both OS X? Home OS X, work Windows?
Many people telecommute by running the applications remotely, with a display server connecting their application to the system they're using. For instance, my work system is Linux; all applications use X windows as their display interface. My home system is OS X, which includes an optional X windows display server. Most of the time, when I need to work from home, I run a VPN client and use 'ssh -X' from an xterm under X on OS X to log in to my office system; and then I can run any application on my office system and have it display on my OS X system.
Similar solutions exist for most common OSs. Windows systems can run VNC or Citrix to export their display to clients that can run on OS X, Linux, or Windows; OS X can run Remote Desktop to export their display to clients that can run on Linux or OS X; etc. -
Freelancer jobs in abap to work from home from India
Hi, can any one tell me will there be any freelancer jobs for abap to work from home in INDIA. If any of know any information about that please let me know as iam looking for such type of jobs.
It all depends on what vpn appliance / software is being used. For some the administrator must specifically enable OS X to connect - if they have not done that, you are toast.
Your best bet absent giving us an info dump on your set up is to try a forum for that VPN. -
