To access a DVD or CD on another computer:
Make sure both computers are on the same network (wired or wireless), and the DVD or CD Sharing software is installed on the computer with the optical drive.
Make sure the computer with the optical drive is set up to share the disc.
On a computer with Mac OS X v10.4.10 or later: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sharing, and then select the “DVD or CD Sharing” checkbox. Select “Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive” if you want to be notified when a computer tries to access the drive.
On a computer with Windows XP or Vista: Open the DVD or CD Sharing control panel and select “Enable Remote DVD or CD.” Select “Ask me before allowing others to use my DVD drive” if you want to be notified when a computer tries to access the drive.
Insert the disc into the optical drive.
On the computer without the optical drive, select Remote Disc under Devices in a Finder window sidebar. If you see the “Ask to use” button, click it.

If you are using two Macs you can try to do this via Target Disk Mode. Info here:

How to access Enterprise manager from another computer

Hi There,
I have Oracle 10g installed on a PC. I can access EM from that PC.
I would like to know how would I access EM Dbconsole from another computer under same LAN.
Thanks
Raf

Opening the web browser, you can specify the hostname and the port configured to listen the incoming call.
For example:
https://hostname:port_number/em
or
https://ip_address:port_number/em
you can get information about the information that you need from the "emctl"
emctl status dbconsole
Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g Database Control Release 11.2.0.1.0
Copyright (c) 1996, 2009 Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
https://hostname:1158/em/console/aboutApplication
Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g is not running.
Best regards !

While on Safari I was into my Facebook account. I checked off something, not sure what the **** it was, but it immediately shut down my Facebook. I'm able to access FB when on another computer or my guest acct. How do I get into my FB acct on Safari?

While on Safari I was into my Facebook account. I checked off something, not sure what the **** it was, but it immediately shut down my Facebook. I'm able to access FB when on another computer or my guest acct. How do I get into my FB acct on Safari again? Each time I type in "facebook", it will not load.

From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click Details then type facebook in the search field then remove all facebook related items.
Now empty the Safari cache. Press Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
Quit and relaunch Safari. Try accessing your Facebook page.
If that didn't help, click History from the Safari menu bar then click Clear History.
Quit and relaunch Safari and try Facebook again.

How to access Time Machine from Another Computer?

My daughter's iBook went down and is in the shop for repair and we want to access her Time Machine back up from another computer. Does anyone know if there is any way to do that?

Time Machine won't do it as far as I can tell.
However, you can access the backups through Finder.
Warning - you *do not* want to do anything but copy out files - no deletes, moves, renames, no nuttin... Doing so will screw up the backups for any future Time Machine use!
If the backups are on an external disk, then just navigate to the folder Backups.backupdb/yourMachineName there you will find each backup by date/time with the contents of the system at that time.
If the backups are to a Time Capsule you need to mount the backups - the sparsebundle file - first then examine the folder Backups.backupdb/yourMachineName.
Time Machine does have a 'Browse Other Time Machine Disks' option, but as far a I can exercise it it only looks at other disks with backups for the same machine.
Again _only copy_ out files. Normally one should only use Time Machine, but here you can't - so be cautious.

Accessing Shared Resources of another computer

Hi,
Im migrating a program in visual basic to java. I need help on a class or functions that views shared resources on another computer just like as windows command "net view".
Someone told me to use Runtime.getRuntime().exec("net view PC"); But I need it also to run in linux and I don't want it to be OS dependent. Is there any existing API for this?
Thanks,
valcaro

Again you can not use a 'shared' resource if you do not have access from the other box.
It doesn't matter what you do in java - it just will not work.
In the same way you can't talk to another computer if there is no link (network) between them.
So do you have that access in the first place?
Windows file sharing is possible from linux. The easiest way to do it is to set it up on the box as an admin. And there are a number of complications with that and I seriously doubt that it is viable to do that via a java app.
If you just want to communicate then do so. And file access is easily done with FTP.
I suppose that you could, yourself, replicate the interface that windows uses for file sharing. It would take a lot of work with an a minimum a very good understanding of how windows does it and which would require you to learn with packet sniffing (since I seriously doubt this is documented.) You could tear apart one of the linux solutions that implement it as well. But regardless a lot of work.

My iphone was lost and I need to access my photos from my computer using icloud. How do I do this?

My iphone was either lost of stolen. I am able to access my contacts from icloud, but I don't know how to access my photos. Is this possible? if so, how?

Hi deekswife,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
If you want to view Photo Stream photos on a Windows computer you will first need the iCloud Control Panel installed. Once installed, there will be an iCloud Photos location selected on your computer. Please review the following article as a reference.
iCloud: Set up My Photo Stream
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13693
On a Windows computer
Install the iCloud Control Panel if it isn’t already installed on your computer.
Open the iCloud Control Panel, then turn on Photos.My Photo Stream is set up by default. To turn it off, click Options, then turn off My Photo Stream.
To change the iCloud Photos location on your computer, click Options. Click Change to choose a folder, then click OK.
Click Apply.
I hope this helps,
-Joe

Need to move lightroom 3 to another computer

I purchased a full version of lightroom and downloaded it from Adobe's web page. I now need to move the full version to a new computer and delete it from the old one. Can anyone please provide instructions on how to move a downloaded version.

Just download another copy. It's the serial number you need and this will be valid for as many installations as you wish to make, no need for activation. Under the license that you purchase you can only have LR installed on two machines at any one time, so you don't need to remove your original instillation. You can only use one copy at a time. This allows you to have an instillation on a laptop and desktop or at home and work or however you choose.
To copy your catalog over just copy the lrcat file.
From LR FAQ
How many computers are covered by a single license of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3?
Subject to the terms of the software license agreement, the primary user of the computer on which Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3 is installed may install a second copy of the software for his or her exclusive use on either a portable computer or a computer located at his or her home, provided that the software on the second computer is not used at the same time as the software on the primary computer. Lightroom is sold as multiplatform software, which means it can be installed on either Mac OS X or Windows.

Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs. When I put the DVD into another computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. What's preventing songs from being ripped?

Hello - I used a Sony DVD to burn 350 songs from my iTunes library to share with a friend. When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes. Anybody know what's preventing me from ripping what's on the DVD?

When I put the DVD into my friend's computer to rip those 350 songs, the 'import songs' button never appeared in the lower right hand corner of iTunes.
The import command only works with audio CDs. So if you burned the files in mp3 format, try instead using the "File > Add file to library" or "File > Add folder to library" commands.

I downloaded a song onto my computer which has now broken, how do I access that song on another computer

I downloaded a song via itunes on my computer and now the hard drive has gone. How do I find that song on my daughters computer. We use the same account but her itunes has different songs on than mine. I have the receipt to show I purchased so can I download it without purchasing it again. It's not a song she wants but just need to get it onto a disk for our Nativity tomorrow.

Is it hidden by Parental Controls? iTunes>Preferences>Parental Controls
Next try using the search feature to try to find it since the Purchased section is saying it is on your computer.

I need to transfer Photoshop CS4 to another computer that I just purchased

I have been using CS4 on my desktop. The computer is 6 years old and I recently purchased an HP Laptop. I want to transfer the CS4 to this Laptop. The Laptop does not have a CD/DVD drive therefore it has to be downloaded from the web. How can I do that.

Burning a DVD through another computer

I have created an iMovie on a laptop that does not have a DVD burner. I also have access to a G4 that does have DVD-burning capabilities. Can I directly burn my iMovie to a DVD via Firewire or USB? Or do I have to move the iMovie from my laptop to the G4 first? Or is there a better alternative?

Welcome to the discussions.
Bring your laptop and a 6-pin to 6-pin firewire cable to the G4. Use Firewire Target Disk Mode to let the G4 use your iBook's hard drive.
