Port Set-up for Access to office PC from Home Mac

Hello,
I have a G5 at home with a AEBS (g) where I manage my own website via FTP and have a home network.
I just opened a new office where I have a PC (to manage the security cameras), an iBookG4 and will buy a PowerMac in a month. I just set up a new AEBS (n) and it works great to connect to the internet. Since it is a new office I have never had to connect to the office PC from home and I need to do that to see the cameras over the internet.
Also, I want to be able to manage my website from the office via FTP.
I know that these two things are done by setting up port forwarding. However, I have very limited knowledge about Networks and connectivity so I would ask anyone to explain it as if it was "Port Forwarding set-up for Dummies".
I have 5 static IPs that my ISP gave me in case they are useful.
Thanks,
elto

Hi Duane:
Thanks so much for your input. To answer your questions, I have a Netopia Modem (from bellsouth) which is compatible with 802.11g. Also, I have a Netgear Switch for the 3 computers I have on the network (iBook, Dell PC and a new MacPro).
For some reason I am not able to port foward so that I can access a computer from my house. I already assigned a Static IP to the computers and nothing.
Regards,
elto

Need coding support for Accessing MYSQL stored procedure from java

Hi every one,
I need coding support for accessing Mysql stored procedure from java and JSP.
Please help me

You'd better have a recent version of MySQL, because earlier ones didn't support stored procs.
If your MySQL and driver support stored procs, maybe you just need a JDBC stored proc tutorial.

One way of doing this is to use ODBC. Here's an example:
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:<odbc name>", "<login>", "<password>");

Accessing my windows pc from home on my Mac pro

Hi,
I have a new mac pro and have worked out how to connect to works VPN. However I am now stuck. I want to be able to access my work pc (windows) from home (mac). I know how to do this using windows to windows, but would be grateful to know how to do this from a my mac at home to windows pc at work via the vpn.
When I say access my work PC, I mean I would like to be able to have a window on my home mac that shows my work desktop and then access files, applications etc as if I was sitting in front of it in the office.
Many thanks in advance.

Fantastic! many thanks for the info. Im so close I can almost smell it
I am connected to the works vpn and have entered my works computer name in RDC, however when I click connect I get the "the client could not connect to the computer". I have read some destructions regarding putting the domain name in after the computer name etc. However I have no domain name, just a work server address. I have even tried adding the vpn on demand domains to see if that helps but it doesnt. Have I missed something? Is there another step I need to do as its via a vpn?
Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

In which may I am able to copy my office docs from my mac book pro to my ipad?

In which may I am able to copy my office docs from my mac book pro to my ipad?

You can copy word, excel, and powerpoint documents to the iPad, but first you need one or more apps on the iPad that support those document types - unlike a 'normal' computer the iPad doesn't have a file system, and everything on it has to be associated with an app.
The options include :
Apple's Pages app for Word docs : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8
Numbers for Excel spreadhsheets : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8
Keynote for Powerpoint : http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/keynote/id361285480?mt=8
syncing content : http://help.apple.com/pages/ipad/1.4/#tanb5b5c055 (I think Numbers and keynote are similar)

Don't know how to access my email away from home

Somehow I got it to work, a whole lot easier than i thought, kind of scary how easy... but Im not exactly sure what of several things is how I got it. Scariest thing; watching my iBook I wouldn't know that I was accessing it from the MB. It's only me doing it, but still seems so easy.
If I have a WPA2 password protected wireless network do I have to worry that others can access it so easily? (not that I have anything interesting, it's just the general privacy paranoia)

How do I set up remote access so I can access my work iMac from home

I'm sorry, I'm sure I should be able to find the answer to this but so far I can't. I have a G5 Imac at work. I also have one at home. (same model computer) and a G4 powerbook and the new macbook (with the intel processor). Here's my problem. I want to be able to leave my work computer turned on when I go home and access files that are on it from home, or remotely from the macbook wherever I am. Problem is, I have no idea how to set it up to be able to do that. Do I need special software?
Thanks and I apologize if this is covered someplace else. I couldn't find the answer.
George

That is possible. First make sure that this is OK (and allowed) with your IT/computer support at work.
(a) Configuring the work computer...
Is there a router between the work iMac and the internet? If so, the first step is to configure the work iMac to use a static/manual IP address. The next step is to map/forward the appropriate ports through the router to the IP address used by the work iMac.
On the work iMac, open the Sharing preference pane and enable Personal File Sharing.
(b) Accessing the work computer remotely...
You must know the public IP address given by the ISP to your work location. If your ISP gives you an IP address via DHCP this address could periodically change. If your ISP gives you a static/manual IP address the address won't change.
Start/access the file sharing method you want to use and configure it using the IP address from the work computer.

I am using the Good for Enterprise app to synch my outlook email and when I try to turn on ICloud to synch my music in ITunes I get a warning that I will not be able to synch my Iphone 4S with my computer. Does this mean my office PC or home Mac?

I am using Good For Enterprise on my Iphone 4s to connect with my Office PC Outlook email system. I am having trouble synching my Itunes music from my Mac at home with my IPhone 4s. I am considering using ICloud to share the music as I also have an IPad2. When I go to turn on the ICloud application, I get a message that alerts me to the fact I will no longer be able to synch with my computer. Does that mean with my Office PC and my Outlook email, or my Mac and my home email and other applications? I want to use the ICloud but don't want to screw up my Good for Enterprise application and connectivity with my Office PC and Outlook email. What should I do to be able to update all my tunes and photos on my IPhone 4S and IPad2 from my Mac?

I seem to never tire of saying this. It was for Apple when they first announced 10.7 to disclose this. Yes, it was widely reported -- or rather, rumored -- but not by Apple. And many people who have gotten caught by this assumed that Apple itself would have told them beforehand about the loss of this very important feature which they had come to rely on. As far as I know, not even in fine print, does this appear anywhere on the Lion announcement or any of its links.
I am not saying Apple had to continue Rosetta in Lion, or forever, just that if it was going to be dropped, it should have been made known.
As relative "insiders" we should not forget that many people don't have the time, habit or interest to do this kind of research. I think it is a breach of trust that Apple has never directly made this announcement or given people the opportunity to decide beforehand if giving up their PPC apps for a new OS is a worthwhile tradeoff.

HT3771 set up for printing with HP Designjet 500ps (Using Mac os 10.4.11 Printer is set up correctly showing on Mac-Updates installed but still won't print-Printer shows TIME OUT)

Set up for HP Designjet 500ps using Mac os x 10.4.11 Does any one know where to upload
Leopard os x 10.5 The printer will not print until I have the updated software. Ebay sell the
disc on their auction site, but only on disc not a download which is more convenient & faster
to get in a hurry.The software installed in the mac is working the way it should & showing up
as it would but it seems as though there is a driver that's needed. The results in any articals
that I have read suggest you don't need any drivers if you use HP EasyPhotoSoftware installed.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We're users here, not "Apple Inc."
You might have better a response to your questions by posting them in the OS X 10.4 Tiger forums: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.4_tiger
or in the PowerMac forums:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/desktop_computers/power_macof
This forum is for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Since that version won't run on your PowerMac, you're not likely to get many helpful responses here.
In any case, I'll try to offer some basic troubleshooting suggestions:
The PS designation on your printer denotes the PostScript printer language. Is your applications software and current printer driver configured to send PostScript (or HP-GL or HP-PCL or ???)
Does ANY application print anything (even gibberish) to the printer?
HP still shows a DesignJet 500 series raster driver for OS X 10.4 Tiger available to download here:

Does the printer time-out with every program, or just one? Have you tried another cable?
OS X 10.5 Leopard is no longer sold by Apple. It was never sold as a download, sold only on CD/DVD disc. Discs might still be available for purchase on eBay.
OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" is the oldest version of OS X still sold by Apple, and it too is available ONLY on CD/DVD for $20, but it will not run on your PowerMac, because Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor: os x snow leopard requirements
HP DesignJet 500 basic printer documentation is available as a pdf document and downloadable file here: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/public/psi/manualsResults?sp4ts.oid=2 5301&ac.admitted=1391720518005.876444892.199480143
How is the printer connected to the computer? Are you using a USB interface, a Centronics 'Parallel' interface, or a JetDirect network interface?
It appears that the network timeout default for the printer was 30 minutes, but it can apparently be set in the range of anything 30-seconds and longer. The manual notes that some software does not send an 'end of job' postscript marker, so that is the reason for the time-out setting.

How can I retrieve/compute an X509 certificate's thumbprint in Python and then use it for accessing Service Management APIs from Python SDK?

Hello,
I am using Azure Python SDK to perform calls to ServiceManagement APIs.
I have a .publishsettings file generated for my account which includes an encoded version of my X509 certificate and all of my subscription IDs.
How can I retrieve/compute an X509 certificate's thumbprint in Python?
Following is the code snippet that helps us do it in .Net.
Is there a similar approach to do it in Python?
var publishSettingsFile = @"C:\temp\CORP DPE Account-11-16-2011-credentials.publishsettings";
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(publishSettingsFile);
var managementCertbase64string = xdoc.Descendants("PublishProfile").Single().Attribute("ManagementCertificate").Value;
var importedCert = new X509Certificate2(Convert.FromBase64String(managementCertbase64string));
thumbprint = importedCert.Thumbprint;
Once I have the thumbprint, how can I use that thumbprint to access Service Management APIs from Python SDK?
Thank you in Advance!

I can access my time capsule from my mac mini at work but my macbook can only access it from my home network. how do i fix this?

I have a Mac Mini and a MacBook, both were configured at home to access the time capsule. I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home. The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow. Accessing the same files from an older HP laptop is as fast as accessing its own hard drive. How can I speed up the accessing of these files from my apple products. One would think they would work fast and the 'windows' computers would take minutes to map the drive each time...
Thanks for any help.

I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home.
This cannot happen by magic though.. you must have configured the mini to access the TC remotely.. which method are you using, BTMM and iCloud??
The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
How is the Macbook configured to access the TC remotely?? If you are trying to use BTMM and iCloud, then it might be a case that with the mini running the connection cannot be done by more than one computer at a time.. this is generally the case although I do not know if that is specifically true of BTMM method. Try turning off the mini and leave it off.. (off not standby)... then reboot the TC when you are at home.. and then try and connect the laptop to the TC the next morning from work. See if it is then able to capture the connection.. if so start up the mini and I suspect it now will not be able to connect.. that will prove that the TC cannot cope with two remote connections.
There also could be another factor in here. If you are accessing the laptop via the same router as the mini is on.. then actually you cannot have two users mount the same files on a TC.. from the same IP address.. as far as the TC is concerned both devices have identical IP, that is the public IP of the work location router.
If you happen to not be using BTMM then the situation is even easier.. you cannot make two different devices connect to the same network resource using the same port. That is the failing of the NAT system.. one device uses the port then it cannot be used by a second device. You will need to do some fancy footwork and use a different port.
Anyhow tell us exactly how you are doing remote access.. otherwise I am just guessing.
Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow.
Are you talking about files you are hosting on the TC?? Not Time Machine backups??
Can you tell me exactly how you are accessing the TC.. please do a test..
Copy a file to the TC and from the TC using the Laptop.. Use a single very large file, eg 1GB movie file.
Give me a read and write speed.. you can use activity monitor to give me an aprox average speed as well as peak.
Do the same test from the same computer with wireless turned off running ethernet.
Then do the tests from the mini.. same ones.. copy large file to and from the TC by ethernet and by wireless.. when using ethernet make sure wireless is off.
I strongly recommend you set IPv6 to link local only for your wireless and ethernet setup in the Mac.
eg
Now do the test from the HP laptop and give me the results from that.
Is the issue wireless only.. ??
Then you might need to spend a bit of time fixing the wireless in the Macs.. you can run wireless diagnostics in Mavericks.

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.

How do I traspass my photos from my mac pro computer to a new ipad without usb port?, how do I traspass my photos from my mac pro computer to a new ipad without usb port?

I have a Macpro computer and I want to know how to traspass photos or files to a new ipad model since it has no USB port.
Thans for your help!

You can transfer photos or documents to your iPad using iTunes. Connect your iPad to your computer using the cable that came with your iPad and sync it with your computer to copy your photos to it.
With documents, you can use iCloud if you have Pages in your iPad. Go to iCloud > iWork and drag your documents in that page

Can't access a Windows PC from my Mac

Hi ,
I'm having real problems connecting to my PC from my Mac.
I'm using a wireless router, both the pc and my macbook are connected wirelessly to the the router. From the PC I can ping the pc, the router, external web addresses, and the mac. From the mac I can ping the mac, the router, external web addresses but not the pc.
What's really strange is that I can connect to the mac from the pc, transfer files from the pc to the mac, and transfer files from the mac to the pc. However I still can't connect or ping the pc.
I've tried enabling sharing on the pc, I've got the same "workgroup" for the pc and the mac.
I've now run out of ideas, does anyone else have any that might help ?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hi iFelix,
Does the PC have an account with a username and a
password.
yes the pc does have an account with username and password, and for consistency I made them the same as the mac username and password.
I'm still not sure why I can't even ping the pc though ?
I followed your tutorial through, that's when I managed to get the pc to access the mac and transfer files, unfortunately I stll can't see the pc though (Very good tutorial too).
Thanks

I can't access messages or facetime from my mac

I've been using messages and facetime on my macbook air for almost a year now. I am currently running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4. Recently I've had trouble getting onto facetime and messages from my mac. I have no problems getting on either from my iPad, but I can't seem to get on from my mac. When I try to login to messages or facetime, I get this message; "The registering device does not have appropriate credentials". I can still get on the app store from my mac, and everything else is working fine, I just can't get into messages or facetime. Does anybody know a way to fix this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
