Problems with Remote Desktop and Back to My Mac

It's impressive how quickly Apple removed my post because of its tone. I hope they respond with equal speed and verve to my concerns.
I need to get Remote Desktop operational. Can someone walk me through the process of getting Remote Desktop to "see" my home computer? The current online video tutorial for Remote Desktop is outdated and no longer resembles the current UI for setting up Remote Desktop.
What about Back to My Mac? Can I get help with that, too? I figure if I can get at least RD or BTMM running properly I'll be able to do what I want to do.

The subject of connecting ARD via the Internet has been covered here many times already (search the forum for "Internet"), but take a look at this web page:
http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm
It should help, though you may have to refer to your router's documentation for specifics on opening and forward ports in that particular unit.
"Back to my Mac" is a different feature of Mac OS X and has it's own forum:

Problem with remote desktop and lock screen

I know of the easy way to immediately lock a Mac's screen by clicking the menu bar lock icon from KeychainAccess. This works on every system under my control (rMBP running Mavericks, MacMini with 10.5 and Mavericks). However when I control the Macs via Remote Desktop (currently 3.7.2), that lock icon behaviour changes.
Trying to lock a 10.5 system, the screen inside the Remote Desktop window goes black immediately. Moving the mouse activates the password dialog. That is what I want. Doing the same in a remote Mavericks system, the screen goes to a dark blackish semi-transparent state. Moving the mouse immediately restores the normal desktop view, no password asked. Is this a feature or a bug in Remote Desktop? This change in behaviour must have come in around Lion or Mountain Lion.

Hi
Do you use the Intel Proset Utility to configurate the WLan connection?
Try to configure the WLan using this tool and check if the Wlan would disconnect again.
Im also interesting what Wlan driver did you use?
Did you use one from the Intel page?
If not, check the Intel page for the newest WLan driver version.

Problem with Remote Desktop on iPad 2 and windows 8.1 pro

I downloaded the Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the App Store on my iPad 2. I typed in the IP address for my windows 8.1 pro computer on my iPad 2 in school to try connecting to my windows 8.1 pro computer at home. I'm having
a hard time doing it. Do I need a rd remote gateway to access my computer from outside my local network. If so, how do I find my gateway server name? Also, I saw somewhere that I have to press accept in a pop up message on the computer your trying to connect
to. Is this true? No one is home during the day and my iPad 2 has to stay in school. Can you please give me a step by step guide with photos to help me connect to my windows 8.1 pro computer from my iPad 2 from school, which is of course outside my local network.

Problems with remote control and user accounts - error 1759?

We're running:
-XP Pro SP2 clients with Zen SP1 IR3a agent, 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
-We are NOT running Middle Tier.
-Novell servers are running Netware 6.5 SP7, E-directory 8.7.3.10b or 8.8.
-Zen server is also SP1 IR3a.
We have no problem using remote control on workstation objects. We are having intermittent issues with remote controlling user objects. When the issue occurs, we receive the following error, "Error 1759: The selected user is not logged in on any workstations" even though the user is in fact logged in. After some more research, it appears that the "networkAddress" attribute of the user object is blank so we feel that this is the root cause. My question is what would cause the networkAddress attribute to randomly not update? For instance we had a user (verified his login) who we could not remote via the user object (workstation object worked). We checked his networkAddress attribute and found that it was empty. User rebooted and logged in again and his networkAddress attribute populated, and then we could remote control him via the user object. Now this isn't always the case after a reboot. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to when the networkAddress attribute does or does not update. In fact, this particular user has a laptop so he boots it up fresh every morning yet he was not showing a network address when he logged in initially today.
We've followed the troubleshooting steps in Novell Documentation without any success. Is there anything else that we might be missing, especially with respect to getting the networkAddress attribute to update? We ran a DSreport on that attribute and found about 500 out of a total of 1500 users had no networkAddress. Some of those are sure to be legitimate but that number is much too high for the number of people that should be in the office.
I've read some older threads on the subject but none of them really provide a firm solution. Also most of the older threads reference Middle Tier which we are not using.
Thanks in advance.

> 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
You could try this TID:
"A user will no longer have an entry in their "Network Address" attribute
even though they are logged into the eDirectory Tree."
http://www.novell.com/support/viewCo...1262&sliceId=1
"Resolution"
"This was fixed in the 4.91 SP3 client. NWFS.SYS was modified so that it
will check the monitor connection on a reconnect and if it is not connected
close the connection and try and get a new monitor connection to the tree.
Prior to the 4.91 SP3 client, the solution is to have the user login again
so that it issues the NDS Finish Login request again that will populate
Network Address again."

Problem with remote control and Windows 7 - HP Pavilion 6301eu

I installed Windows 7 32-bit and my remote control does not work. I have tried all possible drivers and still nothing ... Photo driver attached. Does anyone have a link to the current drivers for the remote control and Windows 7? thank you

Hi John:
Thanks but, I had already done this. I was having THAT problem with Encore (could not even initialize before tanking) when I first installed it and that's when I updated the Roxio engine. I don't know what else there is to update or correct at this point.
There was one thing that occurred to me: When I was using XP, I had to disable Open GL in order to get Encore to stabilize. I've heard one recommendation for Encore that one must disable graphics acceleration. I would like try that here except I can't figure out how to do that in Windows 7.
I've been Googling "Windows 7 Disable Graphics Accel" and have come up with nothing useful.
Thanks for your help though and if you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

Wee Problem with Parallels Desktop and the Westmere Mac Pros

Just got my new Westmere 8-Core Mac Pro last Friday, and spent the last four days in agony.
I used Migration Assistant to transfer over my accounts from my old Mac Pro, but it crashed hard -- so hard that I had to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of the system. So I decided to do a clean install of all of my programs as well, and the Westmere crashed on the Parallels Desktop installation. And, again, it crashed so hard that I had to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of everything all over again.
Today, I read a review of the Westmere Mac Pros in Macworld (http://www.macworld.com/article/153704/2010/08/quad8_core_macpro_2010.html?lsrc=top2), and learned:
We ran into a problem running Parallels on the Westmere-based Mac Pros, so we could not complete the Speedmark 6 suite of tests. When booted into 64-bit mode (as the new Mac Pros do by default) the systems would crash with Parallels installed. Booting into 32-bit mode would allow the systems to start up, but we still couldn’t use Parallels. We eventually tried a complete wipe and reinstall from the Mac Pro’s systems disc and downloaded the very latest version of Parallels to eliminate any other potential problems, and had the same issue. Apple and Parallels are aware of the problem and assure me that Parallels is working diligently on a fix. The application worked just fine on the new quad-core Mac Pro with the Nehalem processor.
Hoped I saved somebody some time.

Hi akapod,
Looks like they may have the fix out.
Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Kernel panic when installing or restarting Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac
Please let me know if it's available and fixes it.
Thanks,

Problems with Edge Animate and back button ios and firefox

I've put a bit of Edge content in a draft webpage:
http://cassidausa.com/indexy
..and am noticing a couple of issues:
1
When viewing in ios, I click through the content (there are links to products within the Edge animation), and then press the back button on mobile safari, only the Edge content is displayed, not the rest of the page.
2
When viewing in firefox, after clicking through a link within the Edge content and pressing the back button on the browser, the animation is paused from the point it was clicked. Other browsers that I've tested this on refresh the animation.
Ideally the edge content would continue to play from where it was.This is what seems to happen when I preview the animation in the browser from Edge animate.
Any help would be appreciated.
I really need to have this working or else I'll have to abandon creating the content in Edge.

This has always been the case for any animation in CP to be on top. Please
file a feature request. Same for communication between OAM and CP, none
for the moment. You van have transparent background and pause/play button
in OAM, could be a workaround.

6500 Slide: problem with micro SD and back cover

Hello everyone,
My name is Shamsul. I live in Malaysia. I just got myself a 6500 Slide a couple of days ago.
I'm having a problem accessing files on my micro SD card.
It seems that when the back cover is opened it deactivates the micro SD by removing pressure on a tiny switch next to the micro SD slot.
My problem, I think, is that my 6500 Slide's back cover doesn't close as tightly as it should that when I'm playing music from the micro SD, the music gets cut off because of the movement of the back cover.
Music from the phone's memory can be played without interruption. Music from the micro SD card will play uninterruptedly if I keep some pressure on the back cover.
Please help.
Thank you.
Regards,
Shamsul Sulaiman

Screen Sharing started acting funny with both iChat and Back-to-my-Mac

For some reason my Screen Sharing, whether via iChat or BTMM, started acting funny: I still connect, but now my cursor shows up about 1" to the right of where it's actually pointing (i.e., if I position the cursor on one icon on the large size Dock, and click, it will start the icon to its left); and when I move the cursor, sometimes it appears followed by a trailing stream of cursors; finally, if I can manage to move a window on the screen, it looks like only half or so of the window moves, and the rest of the window stays put.
Anybody else experiencing this problem? Thanks in advance.

Ralph, you are awesome! Someone on the Remote Mac had done a <ctr>l plus <alt> plus "+" and zoomed up the screen once or twice. When I turned Zoom off in System Preferences Universal Access, things went back to being ok.
Thanks so much for the advice. I live in Texas and the remote iMac (with my octogenarian parents) is in Iowam so you saved me!

Problem with Xperia P and Sony Bridge for Mac

hi there,
I'm trying to update my Xperia P to ICS and, since I've not received any notification, I'm using Sony Bridge for Mac (my phone is not firmware branded).
So, i plug my phone at the mac, starting Bridge and wait for the download... until my phone turn off itself and Bridge advice me that no phone is connected. How can i solve?
Thanks

Unfortunately it's not possible to get back to Android 2.3 if you have updated to Android 4.0 I'm afraid.
To be able to sort it out and get the phone back to the way it should be - now slow or "laggy" - I'd recommend you to try performing a repair of your phone's software first of all.
Just follow the instruction above given by my colleague Samuel and you'll hopefully easily solve the issue. Fingers crossed!

Only Remote-Desktop and Replication with 0.0 Reduction

Hi guys,
I have a solution with 16 WAAS 4.4.3 and I got good numbers in all default applications except Remote-Desktop and Replication
( All Traffic 53% of Reduction).
I can understand not otimize Remote-Desktop Applications cause the customer is using Metaframe with crypto and already compacted and
using too RDP with crypto/compacted.
But in the Replication I would expect some gain in Active Directory and MS-FRS Replication.
I got 0.0, Actually, the optmized traffic is biggest that the Original Traffic.
I have to modify something in the Microsoft servers to be able to got reduction in Replication Application ??
I'm using all the Default Classifiers in Replication Application

As you said, you need to only send the changes over the line.
Java can not tell you what has changed, so you need to either write some JNI, or do a check on the current image, with the last image. (this would eat quite a bit of CPU time on the server).
It might be worth looking at the source for VNC, and other simler products.
The simpliest solution would be to split the image into blocks of x by y pixels, then do a pixel-by-pixel check on that block, and only send the block if it has changed.
Next thing to think about is scrapping RMI, and using raw sockets. RMI has a fair sized overhead.
Zipping a JPEG is unlikely to have any effect. A JPEG is already compressed.
You might want to look at a lossless compression format, like PNG, as the JPEG will have articles. This might be acceptable. If so, changing the compression ratio of the JPEG might be an option.
Finally, the bottle neck might be the call to Robot.createScreenCapture. This is not the fastest method.

Problem with the browse sequence back and browse sequence next widget placed in the screen layout

Hi,
Some basics: We are using Robohelp 10 to generate multiscreen html5 output. We used the pharmaceutical screen layout downloaded from: http://helpx.adobe.com/robohelp/robohelp-screen-profiles-layouts.html but modified it to match our GUI.
We are having a problem with the browse sequence back and browse sequence next buttons placed in the screen layout from the widgets tool bar. We are in no way experts at this part of Robohelp...and the css portion of all this is a bit of mystery but we have managed to get mostly what we need. Now we just need these buttons to work. In the past we used Airhelp and things worked great. Can anyone help us understand why the sequence buttons are not showing up in the output even though it does in the topic preview?
Also
This shows up in the layout.css file:
a.wBSBackButton {
                margin: 0 8pt 0 0;
                padding: 0;
                background-color: transparent;
img.wBSBackButton {
                border: none;
a.wBSNextButton {
                margin: 0 8pt 0 0;
                padding: 0;
                background-color: transparent;
img.wBSNextButton {
                border: none;
Also btw, I forgot to mention that we are linking our FrameMaker files.
Appreciate the help.
Thanks!

Are you using the latest version of Silverkeeper? - v.2.0.2 is stated to be compatible with Snow Leopard.

i had a problem with my iphone and had to restore and now i have lost all music from itunes any way to get it back ?

It should ne in itunes on your computer and included in your regular backup of your computer.
If for some reason you have failed to backup your music, then - in the U.S only - you can get previous itunes purchases from the beta version of icloud. Open itunes store, click Purchased, under Quick Links.
