Remote management between MobileMe accounts

I have a separate MobileMe account from my parents. We're both running Lion. Is it possible to get my parents computer to show up under "SHARED" in my finder as a Back to My Mac device? I've created my own account on their computer with my MobileMe id etc. However, their iMac isn't showing up...

  • Managing Multiple Galleries (i.e. multiple MobileMe accounts)

    I have a family MobileMe account and wish to manage some of the family members' galleries from iPhoto. I know that I can have multiple iPhoto libraries if necessary, but have not been able to figure out how to manage multiple MobileMe accounts (and their galleries) via iPhoto. Any tips?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The best approach to managing multiple MMe accounts on one Mac is to have multiple User account on that Mac, one for each MMe account. That also would require multiple libraries unless you will have all of the photos in one. If that's the case you can move the library to the Shared folder and access it there from each account.
    In each account log into the appropriate MMe account via the System/MobileMe preference pane. Then enable fast user switching via the System/Accounts pane to make it easy to switch user account.

  • ICloud, iTunes, MobileMe Account Management HELP

    Hello,
    I am having problems getting my Mac, iPhones, iPad to properly syncronize...
    I am trying to sync my:
    iMac
    iPhone
    Wife's iPhone
    iPad
    Between me and my wife we have 3 accounts:
    Wifes iTunes account : [email protected]
    My iTunes account: [email protected]
    MobileMe: [email protected]
    My iTunes account has been our primary account for most content however iCloud will not let me login using my gmail account, I have to use my mobileme account which I just had a trial of and have never really used.
    So when I updated all our devices to iOS 5 I am having lots of conflicts with: Find my iPhone, iCloud syncing, iTunes store purchases, apps, facetime etc.
    conflicts:
    location not updating in the find my iphone app
    unable to use facetime whatsoever
    unable to make purchases on itunes or app store because my wife's account info got synced to my iphone etc.
    I want to use my gmail account since that is the account that has 99% of all my iTunes purchases. Can I use my gmail account with iCloud??
    Any help very much appreciated, so far this is very confusing and not working as expected.

    Hi,
    Delete around 1,000 tracks so that the limit is reduced below 25k.
    Hold shift key whilst turning off match. Close iTunes then reopen. Turn on match, you will be asked to add this computer, do so. The process may take sometime but if tracks had need previously matched or uploaded, the process will be quicker that a complete new scan.
    Once scan has completed, check that the tracks have been matched, uploaded or purchased. Create a playlist based on iCloud status being matched or uploaded. This will tell you the total number of tracks that count towards the 25k. You can now think about readding the deleted tracks.
    If you go over 25k non iTunes purchased track again, you can use the second library method to manage your main library. When you delete a track from the cloud it does not delete it from your computer. When you go back to your main library you will see the iCloud status as "Removed". Match will ignore in future scans.

  • Difference between remote management and vnc

    Difference between remote management and vnc

    By VNC I will presume you mean 'Screen Sharing'.
    Screen Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing is purely for remote control and is based on the VNC protocol with a few extra features added by Apple.
    Remote Management in System Preferences does everything Screen Sharing does and is fully compatible with another Mac doing just Screen Sharing, i.e. it allows remote control. However it can also do additional things. It is intended for use with Apple's Remote Desktop Administration software which can use this to send files to a Mac, send (Unix) commands to a Mac and ask for a report from the Mac (e.g. how much RAM it has).
    If you don't have Apple Remote Desktop there is no real point enabling Remote Management instead of Screen Sharing.
    Both Screen Sharing and Remote Management can also be configured to allow 100% standard VNC connectivity from say a PC, as standard they only accept connections from Macs.

  • Windows Server 2008 - How to remotely manage account passwords?

    I'm hoping to get direction on how to remotely manage 'user accounts' on Windows Server 2008 machines.  The remote management would be from an automated perspective.  For example, I have a custom application (maybe C#, Java, etc) that runs on one
    server that makes connections to various 'Windows Server 2008' servers; and I want it to be able to do the following.
    Query Windows Server 2008 box for full list of user accounts
    Update password for user account
    Lock account
    Unlock account
    Check policy information to find out when password may expire
    I'm trying to find out what may already be available and running on Windows Server 2008 that I can take advantage to get this done programmatically.

    I agree with Mekac, the gallery should provide a lot of script of what you want to do.

  • What's the difference between Screen Sharing and Remote Management?

    As the title asks. What is the difference between the two?
    Because heres the thing. I set Screen Sharing on in Sharing. Then a few days later I will go back to the Sharing preferences and instead of Screen Sharing being checked. Remote Management is now checked, not Screen Sharing. What's the deal? Is that normal?
    I was wondering if it was because I log into my iMac sometimes using my iPhone with that Mocha VNC program. Its the only program I use to remotely control my computer. Is that it?
    Any help I can get is appreciated! Thanks!

    Remote Management provides support for the additional functionality of Apple Remote Desktop as compared to a standard VNC setup. The options are otherwise identical.

  • Sync Contacts between Exchange account and MobileMe account

    On my iPad I use two different email accounts: one Exchange account with ActiveSync and one MobileMe account.
    How can I consolidate or sync Contacts between the two accounts?
    At least, I would like to be able to move contacts from my MobileMe account to my Exchange account. Is that possible?
    Thanks in advance for any hints or advice.
    --Torben

    You could each add the others iCloud to your devices as a secondary account in mail, contacts, calendars and just enable the services you wish to use.

  • How to remotely manage a Mac not on my network?

    I'd like to remotely manage a Mac over the Internet. Specifically my mother's iMac, so when she loses Dock icons or can't find her Address book or something I can fix it from my location in another state. Simple things, but trying to explain it over the phone is generally unsuccessful. We're both running Snow Leopard. I can set things up initially on her Mac in person, and then I need something that requires no effort on her end for this to work. Thanks.

    As Sijmons suggests, TeamViewer.com might be the easiest solution (and is frequently my suggestion).  This is a secure connection.
    Some alternatives.  You get 2 free AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) accounts.  Setup your iChat client with one AIM account, and then setup your Mom's iChat client with the other.  Then you can use iChat Screen Sharing, as long as your Mom is available to approve the Screen Sharing request.  As a bonus, you can text, audio, or video chat with your Mom over iChat.  An Audio chat while using Screen Sharing will allow you to talk her through things while you demonstrate or watch her and provide feedback and corrections.
    LogMeIn.com can be used free for personal use (secure connections used), but it does not provide file transfers (you could use something like Dropbox or insync (from Google) to do file transfers.
    You could setup a Hamachi VPN (virtual private network) between your Mom's and your Mac (Hamachi.com free for personal use).  Once you have Hamachi setup, you could then just use Mac OS X Screen Sharing.  This is a secure connection.
    A more complex approach is setting up your Mom's home router to port forward port 5900 (see portforward.com), then get a free dynamic DNS name from a service such as No-IP.com or DynDNS.org, and run a dynamic DNS updating client available from the service you get the dynamic DNS name from.  Now you can use Finder -> Go -> Connect to server... -> vnc://your.moms.dynamic.dns.name.  And if you also port forward port 548, you can do file sharing via afp://your.moms.dynamic.dns.name (down side is that this approach is not as secure, and it opens well known ports that might be attacked).
    And for the really hardcore, you can port forward port 22 (ssh) and then create secure ssh tunnels that you use for screen and file sharing across the Internet.

  • How can I launch a site that I designed for a client using their MobileMe account? Can they 'open' my iWeb files on their iWeb software?

    How can I launch a site that I designed for a client using their MobileMe account? Can they 'open' my iWeb files on their iWeb software?

    If you give them the Domain.sites2 file that iWeb used to create the site  they will be able to open it with iWeb application (it has to be the same version as you have) and make changes.  But if you're expected to also make changes you'll need a way to send that file back and forth between the two. 
    Also there's an online MacWorld article that describes a way that both of you could manage the site using Dropbox.  Look at Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.

  • How can I disable my MobileMe account as sender in the iOS Mail app?

    Ever since I logged on to iCloud in OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.0, 10.8.1), I've noticed that in Gmail (using the Mail app for iOS), on my iPhone running iOS 5.1.1, the sender appears to be my MobileMe account (an account I had to use a while back when I first got started using iCloud, but haven't actually used).
    Besides flooding my iCloud account mail information with sent mail and the fact that I don't want people associating my email address with the wrong address, it's very annoying that when I choose my regular Gmail address as the sender mail, the next time I send an email, the MobileMe address is the default address yet again.
    The problem persists even though I have:
    Disabled the iCloud email account (@me.com) in the Mail app in OS X Mountain Lion (the OS in which, by all accounts—no pun intended—it all started).
    Disabled iCloud to use and sync Mail.
    This is the settings for Gmail in Mountain Lion, in which disabling Mail and the MobileMe account for use, should be the only email address associated with my iCloud account (excepts it obviously isn't as MobileMe is tied to my AppleID for whatever purpose Apple saw fit back in the day):
    I saw a thread here discussing the posibility of deleting the iCloud account on the iPhone, powering it off and then, when powered back on, simply signing in again with iCloud. I'm nor sure this is a "solution" as much as a way around something I cannot understand is happening in spite of the changed I have made already.
    Surely, someone must be able to tell me what I can do to simply not have my @me.com email address set to the default From address in Mail in iOS. Other than that, I have no real problem with the @me email address being used, at all.
    It's just so annyoing when trying to send a quick reply to a colleague or something.
    Please discuss below.

    I feel funny replying to myself; I cannot remove this discussion and at any rate, I guess if someone else has this problem, they'll be pleased it has not been deleted.
    So, I managed to fix this all on my own. Obviously the difficulty-level is about as low as it gets:
    After updating to iOS 6 last night, I was playing around in the settings of my phone, when I came across this, the iCloud for Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calandars > Accounts > iCloud:
    All I had to do was to turn Mail off. This leaves the Cc/Bcc, From field empty in my phone's Mail app--just the way I wanted it!

  • I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    I've an apple ID used to buy off iTunes and a mobileme account for the calendars and contacts. How can I move the calendars and contacts to the older apple ID and use it for iCloud?

    If you remeber the password to that Apple ID then follow these steps
    1 - Make sure you have an email address that is NOT an Apple ID
    2 - Go to AppleID.Apple.com
    3 - Where it reads Manage Apple ID - Sign in
    Once you are signed in want to make sure the email address you are wanting to use is NOT set up as a "Recovery/Rescue" email for this account.
    [To check this - Main page where you see Primary ID - below do you see the email address you want to use listed towards the bottom? Yes - Delete / No - Good ./. If made any adjustments "Save" Next on the left select "Password & Security" - Answer your security questions you set up "if you have any" then scroll towards the bottom and check to see if you see the email address you want to use. Yes - Delete / No - Good] <-> Also you can change your password on this page as well. Any adjustments made "Save"
    Once this is done go back to the main page where you should read "Primary ID" and change the email address that is showing to the new email address youo want. "Save" Done
    I learned this not to long ago and worked for me. Hope this helps you!

  • How do I use Back to My Mac with a new Time Capsule if I don't have a MobileMe account?

    I just got a new time capsule and I'm trying to set it up so that I can remotely access the files when I'm at work/on the go etc. Now I have an iCloud account, but I don't have a MobileMe account. I do have an @me.com address because I enabled Mail thru the iCloud pref pane and I setup the @me.com email address but I'm still not able to use back to my mac.

  • Two mobileme accounts on one ipod

    Hi all, what I'm going to ask got an airing here : http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2620155&tstart=0 but that was iPad, not iPod. I want to use 2 mobileme accounts on the same iPod. One's mine, the other is my spouse's, which is a - don't know what you'd call it, sub-account??, i.e. there's only one mobileme membership. This all works fine on our Mac computers Mail client. When we can't get to that, we can still access our mails via the mobileme website, but using the same password. Password's not an issue. Not sure how the ipod mail client will behave or how to set up 2 accounts. Any advice? TIA, Terry.

    Well, there is a differene between cabled syncing (over iTunes in regular data syncing) and OTA syncing (latter one used by MobileMe to use Push Sync).
    Mail does not copy actual mails to the device and back, that is done via the mail server (if supported, what is done by MobileMe with IMAP).
    What I don't know is stuff like MobileMe calendars and contacts and so on.
    Maybe it keeps the data separate while syncing (so your cals are synced to your account and the 2nd cal to the 2nd account); but maybe they're shared.
    It's all based on the fact that the iPod is a single-user device and not meant to support multiple users... quite ironic considering that iOS technically supports multiple users as a UNIX system

  • Questions about syncing multiple MobileMe accounts on one iPad

    You can set up multiple MobileMe accounts; however, only one MobileMe account at a time can be used for Find My iPad and for syncing contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes. (iPad User Guide p. 32)
    Okay.
    If you've done this already (created multiple MobileMe accounts on your iPad), can you please tell me how syncing two accounts to one device works in practice?
    What prevents the merging of contacts and calendars between two MobileMe accounts and one instance of the Calendar and Contacts apps?
    As a matter of functionality, and assuming there is a way to avoid merging this information, how does one access separate calendars and contacts from separate MobileMe accounts in the Calendar and Contact apps?
    Thanks!

  • Mountain Lion Server: add network user to remote management

    Hi,
    So recently I have upgraded from Lion Server to ML Server. A little disappointing, but whatever, I've moved on and got everything almost back to where I had it with Lion.
    My last few issues I believe are related but can't quite figure it out. In Lion I have an admin profile and then a network user profile that I used on my MBP bound with AD. I'm at the stage where my nre network user can log in on the server machine but I can't log in as the network user via screen sharing. I can't add a network user to Remote Management, and with Remote Management enabled Screen Sharing is greyed out. I'd really like this to work.
    My second problem is that I can't bind my MBP to the server but even when bound the network user account can't log in.
    Any body have  any ideas?
    Thanks!

    I had this problem on a clean install.
    The solution was incredibly simple for me, but only  after I saw Ross.M's note about opening the Users & Groups settings panel (in the OS System Prefs, not in server) and rebinding to OD server under Login Options.
    That was not the solution for me, but under Login Options I discovered a previously unnoticed pref for "Allow network users to login at login window."  I had this option set (apparently by default) to "Only these network users:"  but with an empty list.  Adding my users to the list made it work perfectly.
