MS Access for Mac

I have a small business and I was thinking about converting over to Mac's for the office! We currently have a PC with XP set-up! But I had just finished putting an Access database together and really like the layout, I spent alot of time putting it together. I have an iMac at home but have yet to try to open the DB there. But I just noticed last night that I don't even have Access for Mac at home and I have looked at Mactopia and there isn't a listing for Access! So is there another way to open this DB? with another program?

NeoOffice does have a database component which is similar to Microsoft Access, however is is not compatible with Microsoft Access.
NeoOffice databases use a standard dbase file format, which offers limited database functionality. It will not open a MS Access database file.
This format is proprietary to Microsoft.

How do you disable remote access for mac routers

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

Access for Mac?

ITunes access for Mac users outside of the USA

We are Mac users both for business and personal. We buy all Apple products and hardware and purchase photo books etc. We purchase all our equipment online and ship. Yet, I have no access to the iTunes free downloads nor am I able to purchase any songs because we do not have a US Billing Address for our Credit Cards! We have international cards and use it for everything else world-wide. Yet no itune!! I buy all Apple products using my card - yet no itunes! Not having access to even download the free songs is not fair, as I am being hindered from creating iMovies because I cannot upload a song. This is an application that comes with my Mac yet I am not able to use it. Come on, you have to help me out here! I need to make some iMovies and post! What can I do? Please help? Debra

Sorry, but there's nothing anyone here can do to help as far as the iTunes Store is concerned. Apple has not, for legal and/or business reasons, been able to open iTunes Stores in every country. If there's no iTunes Store in your country, you'll need to look to other sources of music.
I am being hindered from creating iMovies because I cannot upload a song.
You're not being hindered; iMovie doesn't need the iTunes Store to be completely functional. There are lots of sources for music, such as an imported CDs (you need legal permission to use any copyrighted music, of course, if you intend these movies for other than personal use). You don't need to be a able to purchase from the iTunes Store to have music for your movies.
Regards.

Can I set up Internet access for Mac book air

I am able to set up wireless for my Mac book air but I am looking to set up internet (same as I have with my iPad). Is it possible?

Have you got Home Sharing set up (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819) ? i.e. he may be viewing the content from your computer, not on the actual iPad. If that is the case (which would explain to me him being able to access the videos via the iPod app), then the Restrictions settings that I've already mentioned should also work on that 'remote' content.
Edit : your last reply appeared whilst I was typing/checking this. And no, the Videos/iPod apps can't be passcode protected, you will need to go back into Restrictions and remove the restriction, or if the films are only on your computer and not on the iPad itself you could turn off home sharing on the iPad whilst he's playing the games : Settings > iPod and tap on your account id and/or password on the right under Home Sharing and delete it/ them (re-enter them when you want to re-enable it).

Outlook and Access for Mac (business user)

i bought Office for the mac primarily to get Excel and i am realizing i may have a need for Outlook to manage email and perhaps Access to manage a very large database. before i spend the money to upgrade from Office mac 2011 to business to get Outlook or upgrade to 365 to also get Access i am wondering if there are other business mac users that find this software/workflow to be really important for them.
thanks in advance for any help

Office 365 gives you the option to install either Mac or PC versions of Office. You could install Parallels or VMware and run Access on Windows.
The Office 2011 version you bought is the exact same version in Office 365. The big difference is how many installs and you automatically get upgraded with the O365 version but not the boxed version.
Office 365 Home Premium 1yr Subscription Key Card
Regular List Price: $99.99 Price: $67.15
Licensed for one user to install on up to five devices. Box includes one Product Key Card - No Disc.
You can get Exchange for an additional $4/month. Outlook is not recommended for POP accounts and does not sync Contacts or Calendars to iCloud. Exchange is the only way currently to get sync for all your items in Outlook.

Read/write access for mac mini server

I am having issues that users on my network have read/write permission, but if one saves a file to the network others can't open the file until I go to the mac mini to reset and allow all users to have these permissions again. How can I set this so that I am not going to the server anytime a user creates a new file.

Sounds like you are not using ACLs. When you set up your shares, there are three permission sets by default. They are the owner, the group, and other. These are the POSIX permissions and they do not inherit. You need to edit your share and add at least one more permission entry. This one will be your ACL (Access Control List). Use a group and set the group to the permission you want, likely read/write.
Now once this is done, you will need to propagate these permissions through the existing files. To do this, you need to open Server.app > choose your server from the left sidebar > select the Storage tab > drill down to your shared folder > use the Gear menu to use propagate. Then send all the ACLs through all your files.
Unmount all shares on workstations and connect again.

eDirectory 8.8 shouldn't be the cause.
Since you haven't noted the version of AFPTCP in play or mentioned Mac
OS X Snow Leopard or Lion I'll just note that if you have any Mac
clients running 10.6 you'll need to install the N65NSS8c patch.
Additionally if you have any 10.7 clients please see TID 7008683.

Is there a version of Microsoft Access for the Mac computer

I was wondering if there was a version of Microsoft Access for the Mac computer. Most of the databases I have on my old computer are in Access and I need to be able to open them on my new Mac Book.

Full Disclosure as per Apple Support Communities terms and Conditions: I am affiliated with the site linked to in this response.
Although Access for Mac isn't available, there are some apps which allow you to open Access databases on Mac. They don't allow you to access forms, reports and VBA modules but they do allow you to visualize the data. Although this isn't perfect, they're far easier and cheaper than having to install Windows on your Mac and then install Access if you only need to view Access databases.
Which one you use really depends on what you need to do. They can be summarized as:
MDDB ACB Viewer - Probably the best of the lot as it open both old and new Access files and exports to Apple Numbers
MDB Tool - Very simple to use but not for Access 2010+
MDB Explorer - Exports to SQLLite but requires an upgrade for Access 2007+ files
ACCDB MDB Explorer - Very limited editing of databases but supports multiple ACCDB databases
MDB Lite - Only works with Access 2003 files but very easy to use
Hope this helps as a basic overview of the main tools available but if you you can find a more in-depth look at Access for Mac software here.

Yep, two of the most popular apps are "LogMeIn Ignition" and "iTeleport." Check them out, they'll both set you back by about 30$ though.

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I do not have a Mac but I want to give a software program for a Mac as a gift. I am not able to access the Mac store. Do I just get an iTunes card?

"Gift Card" is sometimes called a tacky gift, but if it allows the other person to get whatever they want it works.
Besides, anything purchased through App Store is usually "All Sales Final", so I think iTunes card is a good idea.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
