Keep Local Machine Locked While Working Remotely

I originated from the PC-way of doing things, so this feature kinda seems like a no-brainer, but not sure how to go about it...
I access my iMac remotely all the time, but I want to keep my screen locked so everyone can't view it while I'm working. How do I go about this? I'm not using a VPN/VNC client or anything like that, just using the built-in screen sharing feature via iCloud.
Can anyone help?

Anyone?

How do you get values of local machine running applet on remote server?

Hi,
I have an applet that runs great running the html file on my local machine from a root directory. I've placed my code(java, class, and html files) on the web server and loaded the applet onto a page. The results are merely:
"Computer Name: localhost"
"IP Address : 127.0.0.1"
Instead of:
"Computer Name: ACTUALNAME"
"IP Address : 189.40.20.211"
etc...
The code is as follows:
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.net.InetAddress;
public class IPFinder extends Applet {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
super.paint(g);
try {
InetAddress localaddr = InetAddress.getLocalHost () ;
g.drawString("Computer Name: " + localaddr.getHostName (), 2, 13);
g.drawString("IP Address : "+localaddr.getHostAddress (), 3, 25);
g.drawString("", 3, 45);
String str = localaddr.getHostName();
InetAddress[] localaddrs = InetAddress.getAllByName ( str ) ;
for ( int i=0 ; i<localaddrs.length ; i++ )
if ( ! localaddrs[ i ].equals( localaddr ) )
// g.drawString("Local hostname : " + localaddrs[ i].getHostName () , 3, (i+0)+50);
g.drawString("Local IP Address("+i+"): " + localaddrs[ i].getHostAddress () , 3, (12*i)+((i+10)+45));
}} } catch (Exception e) {
g.drawString("Can't detect localhost : " + e +". Check Network settings.", 3, 60);
public static void main(String[] args) { new IPFinder(); }
I'm trying to get Real IP Addresses (as the code was setup to do) from a browser running on the web server. I have read some of the threads in this forum and some mention to use NetworkInterface while others recommended using Sockets (not an option since we do not use them), and another to use a signature as a workaround. Anyone know the best direction to get the results expected?
Thanks in advance,
Geoff-

I have an applet that runs great running the html file
on my local machine from a root directory. I've
placed my code(java, class, and html files) on the web
server and loaded the applet onto a page. The results
are merely:
"Computer Name: localhost"
"IP Address : 127.0.0.1"This indicates that your applet when run over a web
server has not the rights to query the local name and
address. Look [url
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/net/InetAd
ress.html#getLocalHost()]here. The so-called
loopback address is 127.0.0.1
Check your documentation for "signed jar" (or search
the forum or the sun website) if you want to give your
applet more rights, but I don't think that this is
worth the effort in this case.
gdsimz, since you already started two new threads based on my suggestion, how about at least saying "thank you" or "sorry, didn't help"?

Why does my iPad 2 keep on automatically locking while using anything ?

While I'm using my iPad, it automatically locks for some reason. Even when I'm just playing apps or swiping the screen , I need help to fix it ?

1. Close all inactive apps in the Task Bar. Double-click the Home button and hold apps down for a second or two. Tap the minus sign to close app.
2. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple Logo.

Word for Mac keeps locking while I'm working on the file

Hello,
I'm not sure if I'm asking this question in the right place.
While working in Word on Mac, the file just locks while working in the file. Once the file locks, no edits can be made and I have to copy and paste it into a new file. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there anyway to fix it?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Using InetAddress for ip of local machine

Hi.
I'm using InetAddress to obtain the IP address of the local machine. This works fine .. however ... I am trying to simulate a loss of IP address. This is done by using ipconfig/release in DOS. According to DOS, my IP address has now been set to 0.0.0.0, however, InetAddress is still returning the old IP address. My code is as follows :
InetAddress localHost;
String localAddress;
localHost = InetAddress.getLocalHost();
localAddress = localHost.getLocalAddress();
Can anyone tell me why this is not now returning 0.0.0.0?
Thanks,
Alison Kakoschke.

I got the same problem. In my case, I want to dynamically detect the IP address of my local machine, which may allocate a new IP address by the DHCP server on the network each time when it is disconnected and then reconnected to the DHCP server. But, the following code:
String localAddress = InetAddress.getLocalHost().getHostAddress();
always return the original IP address of the local machine, rather than the new allocated address after disconnected and then reconnected.
It's emergency! who can help me?!

JDBC/JSP/MySQL Code works from my local machine, but not on server

Hi there!
I've been struggling with this problem for a while.
I have a database from which I need to read and display some data on a browser. (The database is set up for remote access).
I'm using the following JSP/JDBC code to do that.
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
out.println(" Connecting to DB...Pls. Wait ");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("url","user","pwd");
if(con.isClosed())
out.println(" " +"Could NOT connect to MySQL Database...");
else out.println(" CONNECTED !!! ");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
results = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM TableName" );
When I run this of my local machine, it works fine. But when I upload it to a server, it doesn't run through. I dont get either the connected or not connected message.
I tried this piece of code that I found online to check the driver.
/*Driver d = (Driver)Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
out.println(" Got a driver instance. ");
if (d.acceptsURL(url)) out.println(" The driver does accept my URL");
else out.println(" The driver doesn't like the URL I'm trying"); */
I ran it off the server and it worked. I got the outputs --Got a driver instance and The driver does accept my URL
I'm unable to figure out why this code can be run locally from my machine, but not from a different location. The database is NOT on my machine.
Any inouts will be really appreciated.
I'm using an Apache Tomcat container and the database is MySQL.

Just wanted to mention
The database is on another (3rd) machine.
So I have
1. My local machine
2. Database hosted on a 2nd machine
3. Place I'm moving my code to (its basically a hosting account provided by an external company)
I can access the database from my local machine. However, when I move the code over to another machine, it doesn't work.

Local Devices not found while on Remote Session

Hopefully someone in the forum will have an idea where I am failing.
I have an hp laptop (model 15--b123cl) running windows 8.1.
I am Remote Desktop Connecting into my Server running Windows 7 Professional SP1.
Both my hp laptop and the server have all Updates installed (including KB 2830477 for Windows 7 SP1).
I have checked all options in my Remote Desktop Connection (Show Options) Local Resources tab to allow Local Devices and Printers to be available on my laptop (the client) while in a remote session on my server.
(Checked Printers, Clipboards and all options under "more" such as Ports, Drivers, etc.)
The connection works fine but no local devices (printers, thumbdrives, etc.) are visible or accessible while in the remote session. My laptop recognizes the devices being plugged into the USB port (tone sounds), but the device will not show up in the
remote session. (They are shown on my local hp when I minimize the Remote connection.)
My real need is to print to my hp printer while logged onto the remote server. I have an hp Officejet Pro 8600 which I have plugged-in to my laptop USB. I relalize that while in remote connections I won't find wireless devices
on my local (client) network unless mapped to a LPT or COM port, so I hard-plug into my USB. I have also tried mapping my printer to a second port such as LPT2 or COM1 - still no luck.
No matter what I have tried or read about Remote Desktop Sessions, I can not get my Local hp Printer to show up while in my remote session. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi Avi,
Thanks for your reply!
I am using JDeveloper version 9.0.3.1035!
When I say it works in JDeveloper, I do mean the embedded server.
In JDeveloper I have two projects, a) a session bean project and b) an entity bean project.
I can run my code fine against the embedded server.
However once I deploy the two jars to the standalone server things fall apart.
When I reverted back to putting the session beans & entity beans all in one jar everythinh worked fine.
However, I do not want to do this, I want to maintain my entity beans independently ( for maintenance & de- coupling reasons).
So, I guess what I really want, is to see in black and white that local references do or do not traverse different jars on the same server.
thanks,
Kevin

In BI EE 10g, there was no Oracle Client bundled along with BI EE. So, BI EE will use your Oracle DB Home client to connect to the database. So, when you try to connect to the database through the Repository or BI Server, it will try to find the tnsnames entry in the Oracle Client of BI EE 11g instead of your database. There are 2 options to work around this
Copy your tnsnames.ora and Paste it to
1. Drive:Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1}network\admin
2 Drive:Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common\network\admin
TNS File like,
DBName =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = Your Server IP)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = DBName)

Hi baftos,
I tried to telnet remote windows machine from my local machine on port 23, its not connected and given error message like "Connect failed".
As your response, if we can telnet to remote windows machine from local machine then we can connect from Java. Is it correct ?.
Can you please help me to resolve this issue. And also please confirm the port (23) is correct, which I was used to connect remote machine from telnet.
Regards,

TS4006 My Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation was stolen if the thief signed out of my iCloud account on the device will it go away on the web map on my computer and keep me from locking it remotely?

My Apple iPod Touch 4th Generation was stolen if the thief signed out of my iCloud account on the device will it go away on the web map on my computer and keep me from locking it remotely? I was asking my grandmother who works in apple tech support at at&t but she didnt know. so im hoping somebody will come by and say yes to my question because my iPod touch is still appearing in my iCloud.com account.

Yes. If it was signed out from iCloud, it will disappear from the Devices list in Find my iPhone.

Captivate 7 keeps freezing while working/editing courses

Hi,
Every 10 minutes or so Captivate 7 keeps freezing regularly (for about 20 seconds)! This happens while working on courses or editing slides (backend). I used Captivate 4-6 on the same machine without any problems..
Very seldom an error message appears which says that Captivate isn't able to communicate with Windows anymore!
Any ideas?
Many THX in advance;)

Local machine using - expecting remote machine

Any advice on this one? I did modify the security / firewall to except IChat
2009-01-04 19:42:44 -0600: No data has been received for the last 10 seconds.
Audio channel info: local machine using 10.0.1.200:16402, expecting remote machine to send to 68.179.174.46:41078

Ok,
Most Cable Modems do not router.
It means that they pass the Public IP to the Router (Or any computer that might be directly connected if you only have one).
This also means it is not doing DHCP (so no two lots of DHCP in this case most likely)
Telling us the Make and Model of the modem will help to confirm this.
Alternatively you can check if it is in this List (Very new models tend not to be included yet. They work on people sending in info, so not all devices are listed either.)
Also tell us which version and what firmware the Base Station is Running.
The set up pages for this can be accessed with Airport Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder.
This presents you with a list of the Airport Devices it can find in a list on the left.
Click on yours.
Click on the Internet icon.
This pane is essentially in two parts.
The top is how you are getting connected to the Internet.
It normally tells you the IP you are getting.
If it is the same as when you go here the modem is not routing.
At the Bottom is whether the Base Station is set to DHCP (Share an IP) to the computers (LAN).
Tell us what you find out.
If it is a Public IP you see quote it as 90.66.xxx.xxx (Or put some xxx's in somewhere).
Pic of Internet Pane with Public IP
Older firmware and Base Stations have slightly different Access methods where you get a little Pop Up window to log on by IP first.
(I don't have Pics of that at the moment)

JavaMail applet working on local machine - but NOT on my webpage

Hi.
My code works on my machine as an applet run through my Eclipse IDE.
I have the Applet deployed on my website, which is the same server as the email server itself.
public void postMail(String to, String subject,
                            String message , String from) throws MessagingException
    boolean debug = false;
     //Set the host smtp address
     Properties props = new Properties();
     props.put("mail.smtp.host", "mail.completemusician.net");
     props.put("mail.smtp.port", "2626");
     props.put("mail.smtp.auth", "true");
    Authenticator auth = new SMTPAuthenticator();
    Session session = Session.getDefaultInstance(props, auth);
    session.setDebug(debug);
    // create a message
    Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
    // set the from and to address
    InternetAddress addressFrom = new InternetAddress(from);
    msg.setFrom(addressFrom);
    InternetAddress addressTo = new InternetAddress(to);
    msg.setRecipient(Message.RecipientType.TO, addressTo);
    // Setting the Subject and Content Type
    msg.setSubject(subject);
    msg.setContent(message, "text/plain");
    Transport.send(msg);
}1) I know my code works on my local machine - so it's not related to a code bug.
2) I know that all class files are uploaded correctly and working in a single JAR file. The other 3 classes I use work fine in this applet.
3) I receive no errors of any kind - it just appears that my constructor may not be called, or the instant java mail API is mentioned, the applet just refuses to work.
v.setMessage("Attempting to send..");This line never is used in my class constructor - which is troubling.
public SendMailUsingAuthentication(String from, String to, String subject,
          String text, ValidationDialog vd) {
       v = vd;
       v.setMessage("Attempting to send..");
       boolean succeed = true;
       try {
          postMail(to, subject, text, from);
     } catch (Exception e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          v.setMessage("Email delivery has failed. " +
                     "Please check your email address provided and try again." +
                     "\n\n" + e.getMessage());
          e.printStackTrace();
          succeed = false;
     if(succeed)
           v.setMessage("Your request has been submitted successfully.\n\n" +
                     "You may safely navigate away from this page.");
           v.setBlue();
     // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}Feel free to reply - I would appreciate your help. Just keep in mind:
1) Don't tell me to use javascript. I refuse.
2) Don't tell me I need a server application. It's supposed to work according to documentation, without it.

Is your applet signed properly? Note that you have to sign all the jars for the applet -- including the JavaMail jar and the activation jar -- using the same signer.

How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?

How can I convert Pdf from RGB to CMYK, keeping font color 100% K while working in Illustrator?
When I try to open the document in Illustrator and I convert to CMYK the black font converts to rich black, but to set up for Offset printintg I need the text to be only in Black (100%K).
The original source of the document is a Microsoft Word file, I have converted the Word file to Pdf in order to setup for OFfset Printing.
Thanks

I have tried that way, but the downside is that the fonts are set in gray not in a 100%K, also I have to deal with other fonts that are composites and meant to stay Full Color. I could select text by text and convert to gray but, its a 64 page document and I wouldn't want to make a expensive mistake.
