Is there a way to configure screen sharing to mirror?

In past versions of OS X, if you used VNC to screen share, it mirrored the display. Now in 10.7, it displays a logon screen. Is there a way to revert it to the old way??

Is there a way to ban screen sharing ips

Hello, Is there a way to block incoming scene sharing requests? I gave my ip to a friend, then unfriended him and he keeps pestering me with requests. Any help is appreciated, Jack

AT T (the phone company).
You can use DynDNS to set up an IP address that always exists, and is associated with whatever ypur ISP decides your IP address will be this round.
When I reset my ATT modem, I get a new external IP address, and whoever knew the old one has to guess who I am now. If my DynDNS account regualrly updates, then that "fixed external" (chosen by me to be for example edward.scissor.dyndns.com) will be the same but associated with new IPS address.
If your family has DSL, reset the modem and the IP address will change.

Configure Screen Sharing via ssh

I have a couple of macs sitting at a remote location that currently has no people there. i need to get into the machines via VNC (have windows at my current location), to see something on the screen. unfortunately, last time i was in front of these machines, i turned on screen sharing, but did not enable the VNC password option. is there a way to configure that option remotely via ssh? I'd really hate to have to drive 2 hours to go hit a simple tick mark on a screen...

You can use the ARDAgent kickstart tool to set the password for VNC access. The command to do this is...
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -activate -configure -clientopts -setvnclegacy -vnclegacy yes -setvncpw -vncpw YOURPASSHERE -restart -agent

Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS

Is there a way to configure NTFS file system on an NSS 324 SmartStorage unit. So far I can setup ext 3 or ext 4 but no option for NTFS. This unit should be joining a Windows Server 2008 R2 network and needs to be shared with all users. This unit will replace a File server running Win 2003 SP2.
Message was edited by: Hermann Koster
Thank you very much for your reply. The idea is to decommission the Windows file server which is running Windows Server 2003 SP2 operating system but is not running as a DC but just a member server. All this server is doing is providing file server services so my idea is to replace it with the NSS 324 box. My only concern is that when my NSS joins the domain all my users would be able to see and access network shares transparently, the same way they saw the former W2003 file server. After I transferred the data from File server I will use the same for NSS that was used for file server as well as same IP address and folders path as before.
Any suggestions or advice?
Once again thank you very much for your reply.
Cheers,

The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS. This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
You can connect to an external HDD via a USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
Hope that helps!!

Is there a way to configure in cucm, something like an ad-hoc conference wherein the Observer will
just call the extension number to be observed?
or something like "service observed" feature in Avaya wherein the Observer will dial a particular
passcode followed by the extension # of the agent, then he is able to observe the on-going call.

You can do continous recording using SPAN ports or DMS with 3rd party products like Verint Impact 360.
not sure about the legalities around that though.

Is there any way to configure storage queue message encoding for Web Job's QueueTrigger?

We have a web job that listens to Azure storage queue via QueueTrigger. The queue messages are not encoded when they are added to the queue:
CloudStorageAccount account = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("...");
CloudQueueClient client = account.CreateCloudQueueClient();
CloudQueue queue = client.GetQueueReference("test1");
queue.EncodeMessage = false;
queue.AddMessage(new CloudQueueMessage("hello world"));
And in the web job, we use the below method to listen to the queue.
public static Task ProcessQueueMessageAsync([QueueTrigger("test1")]string message)
And the web job crashes when it gets a message, with the below output. Unfortunately we cannot control the encode setting of the coming messages. So, our question is, is there any way to configure queue message encoding for Web Job's QueueTrigger?
Thank you for any help and/or suggestion.

Hi,
Thanks for posting here.
I am not too sure if the storage queue messages can be encoded before the webjob listens to it.
I am currently researching to gather more information with regards to your request.
I shall revert back to you with an update at the earliest.
Sincerely appreciate your patience.

Is there a way to configure win 8 Laptop to airport express? I can see the connection to the wireless network, but troubleshooter suggests there's there is no gateway and of course no internet. The connection

Is there a way to configure Mac Mail ...?

I have an IMac desktop, a MacBook & a 4th generation IPod Touch. As it now stands whenever I receive email it goes to all 3 devices necessitating the need to physically read and/or delete the messages from all 3 devices. Is there some way to configure Mac Mail to eliminate these steps or do I just have to keep manually removing mail messages as I'm now doing?
Thanks for any help you may have.

Create your accounts for IMAP instead of POP.
Here's a little youtube explaining the difference (ignore the sales pitch).
imap vs pop - what do they do?
In Apple Mail preferences, Accounts, when you go to set up a new mail account you click the plus in the lower left as usual. When the Add account sheet is displayed if you press the option key while clicking the Continue button you will be given a window to define the account as POP or IMAP.
Alternatively if you enter an invalid email address into the Add Account window and juct click Continue (no option key) you will again be given the IMAP/POP choice. This technique I think will work in the other itoys as well.

HT201060 Is there no way to do Family Sharing without unified billing?

It looks like Family Sharing has some other nice features beyond shared purchases. Is there no way to enable Family Sharing without having a unified billing? I'd love to enable it for my extended family but I don't want to pay for everyone's apps and things.

Making purchases
After you set up your family, any time a family member initiates a new purchase it will be billed directly to your account unless that family member has gift or store credit. First, their store credit will be used to pay the partial or total bill. The remainder will bill to the family organizer. As the family organizer, any receipts generated by the transaction will be sent to you. Learn more about how iTunes Store purchases are billed.

Is there a single click VNC/screen sharing server for OS X?

First, if this is posted in the wrong section then please forgive the error and relocate the post to the appropriate section.
I'm looking for a small distributable single click screen sharing system for tech support purposes. I generally support Windows users but sometimes need to quickly gain access to remote OSX systems from fairly clueless users. Every minute I spend explaining something that the user does not want to know or does not need to know is a waste of our mutual time. Thus I'm looking for something similar to UVNC single click for OSX. That is a distributable VNC server reduced to about 250KB or less that can be configured to automatically connect to a listening viewer on launch.
Is there a program or perhaps an executable script file that will initiate such a connection?

Start with Applications -> Automator. You can have it "Record" the setting up of the VPN server of your choice.
Then there is AppleScript, but for me that generally requires a book and Google searches to find examples close to what I want to do.
It may be possible to do some stuff via Unix shell scripts (sh, bash, awk, perl, python, ruby, etc...) and then invoke this via an Automator action, an AppleScript command, or just wrap the shell script using Platypus (search Platypus at VersionTracker.com).
If you need to configure the customer's Mac OS X firewall, that might also be an Automator action, or since the firewall is really the Unix ipfw (man ipfw), that could be a use for shell scripting.
If you need to fetch stuff from the web as part of your installation, you could use something like /usr/bin/curl in a shell script.
Setting up automation can be difficult and I'm not making light of the task. What might look like a good approach may find that the last 5 inches just can be done and you have to back track and use something else. And then there are the variables created by the fact that every customer will be different and you will find that some expected situation doesn't exist because the customer has customized something.
NOTE: The Vine Server (aka OSXvnc) can be setup to make a reverse connection. It may even be possible to use an Automator script to setup that connection for you, specifying the address.of.your.VNC.client and port number you are using.
Or create an AppleScript (which might be more robust than Automator).
Or establish an example reverse setup, then using "ps -axlww" see what the actual server command line looks like, then create a shell script wrapped by Platypus to do this for the customer.
OK, your turn to go chasing down dead-ends and practice backing out. After all you are the one that is going to get paid, I'm just doing this for fun
However, if you need to configure a customer's router that could be a problem as every darn one of them is different.

Any way to use Screen Sharing in Full Screen mode?

"Back to my Mac" screen sharing works great for me, but my remote screen is small enough as it is for a windowed VNC session... is there any way to switch to Full Screen in the Screen Sharing application?
thanks!

Did you go to the "Screen Sharing" menu and select "Preferences?" I don't see full screen, but there are some view options.

IPhone 5, Is there a way to stop screen rotation for specific apps?

The automatic screen rotation feature is useful - sometimes, and just plain annoying other times. I prefer to read my e-mail in portrait mode, however the slightest movement or rotation while doing so will cause the screen to rotate (with the phone generally still in portrait position). I then have to shake the phone to get it to rotate back. This is very annoying.
I would like to be able to lock the screen rotation for only a single app (e.g. mail) while still keeping it active for the camera, or videos. Many of the book programs that I use, have this feature built-in, however this question is for apps that do not have this built-in.
The built in rotation lock is all-or-nothing, and is generally a pain to use. It adds another step to just about everything I do (If I read mail, then want to view a video, I have to go back and unlock it).
Is there a way to lock the screen rotation for a specific app?

I would have expected this function to be available in settings where the application specific settings are located. (At least for the major applications like e-mail).

Is there a way to configure screen sharing to mirror?
