Remote support options for iPad?

We're looking at the iPad as a possible solution for a specific business case. However, I'll need some way to provide remote support to the iPad users. I've looked for VNC type apps but everything I've found just enables the iPad to be a client that connects to and remotely controls another system.
Is there a VNC server-like app for iPad that would let me provide remote support TO the device?

Since the OS on the iPad does not allow multitasking there is only one app running at a time. This would not allow a VNC server app to run.
Even with the preview of multitasking in iPhone OS 4 a VNC server would require access out of its sandboxed environment which it would not be allowed to have.
Another issue is that it is a multi-touch device that does not use a mouse cursor. I am not sure VNC can handle this.
Essentially what you are asking would be similar to someone controlling an iPhone remotely, since the iPad is much closer to an iPhone than it is to a computer.
A workaround may be to use video conferencing on a computer so that you can see the screen of the iPad, guiding the user through the steps required.

  • Know more detail about the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One ?

    SAP Business One 9.1 is about to release this year and we can see in the feature enhancements that a significant update is planned in the Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One, more commonly known as RSP. Let’s have a quick look what update is planned for RSP in version 9.1:
    Enhancements planned in Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One 9.1
    RSP is planned to support both SAP Business One on Microsoft SQL Server as well as SAP Business One on HANA Database
    RSP Processes and Reports adapted to SAP HANA Database
    With this plan RSP will help in the areas of Download, Installation, Go-Live Check, Monitoring, Upgrade and Support for SAP Business One both   on SQL Server and HANA.
    But like me (non-SAP B1 Consultant) many of you have the question what is RSP and how it helps in support? Here I have tried to gather all information.
    What is Remote Support Platform for SAP Business One?
    The remote support platform for SAP Business One is designed to protect a SAP Business One installation by providing automated and remote support in a high-volume business.
    The platform monitors the entire SAP Business One environment. By significantly reducing the time between the appearance, identification, and resolution of issues, the remote support platform for SAP Business One minimizes the impact on customer databases and processes.
    Some Key Features of Remote Support Platform:
    Showing alerts to SAP B1 Admin about the events which require their attention, such as low disk space, database backups, etc.
    Incident Reports against the issues identified which require attention of SAP Support
    Company Database Backup and Restore options
    Regular fixes of Company Database inconsistencies
    Check, Download and Install regular updates in SAP Business One
    Upload Logs and required files to SAP Support or to Partner Support on regular basis
    Some details about RSP Backup Management
    Schedule daily, weekly, and monthly backups
    Perform differential and full database backups
    Back up transaction logs
    Back up files to shared folders on a network
    System Status Report through RSP
    From June 1st 2013, it will be mandatory to install, configure and upload the System Status Report (SSR) from Remote Support Platform (RSP) for SAP Business One in order to receive support for messages of a technical nature (upgrades, performance & crashes, etc).
    Database uploads only via RSP
    From June 1st 2013 SAP Business One Support will only accept database uploads to SAP via remote support platform for SAP Business One. In certain exceptional circumstances STFP may be used but this will constitute a minority of cases.
    Microsoft Windows PowerShell Scripting
    In the remote support platform studio, you can create tasks using Microsoft Windows PowerShell scripting. PowerShell enables you to perform remote administrative tasks on customers’ Microsoft Windows operating systems, by providing full access to Component Object Model (COM) and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI).Some Network Prerequisite for RSP
    To achieve the internet connection test, you must allow port 80 for the RSP external communication
    Disabling antivirus firewall or add the RSP to the trusted zone of the antivirus
    Set the correct proxy
    Disabling Windows firewall in the TP_link Wireless Configuration Utility

  • I would like to ask why apple does not support Whatsapp for Ipad

    Dear All,
    As a relatively new apple user, i find it difficult to understand as to why apple doesnt support whatsapp for ipad. I am mostly on the go and carry my ipad for business purpose, and as you know, these days social networking is an intergral part of our lives, i find it perplexing as to why ipad doesnt support whatsapp. Almost all of my collegue's and friend are using this, it becomes increasingly diffcult to multitask between a phone and an ipad.
    Could Apple kindly make it available for users. It would be really convinient, especially for people in the age group 50+ who would like to be in touch with their families regularly.
    Regards
    Bala

    Whatsapp is meant for phones, authenticated via the voice carrier link. That's what the developer (nowadays Facebook, who bought the company) decided to do with their app. Hacking that design sounds dangerously against the TOU for discussion in these forums.
    You can always search in other message boards outside Apple's regulations for what you want. Regardless, you will need an iPhone to authenticate and activate you Whatsapp account.

  • BT Mail has no PUSH option for iPad Air

    I am new to this forum - so sorry if this has been raised before.
    I have just purchased an iPad Air and discover that BT Mail (@btinternet.com) does not have a "PUSH" option for emails to iPad Air - so you have to "Fetch" emails.
    Has this topic been raised before and if so - what was the outcome?
    Clearly not much use having to Fetch your emails from BT Mail, so may need to find an alternative service provider unless there is a solution.
    Thanks...

    I don't have iPad with me but believe the best "Fetch" frequency is every 15 mins.
    However using such a "reactive" approach:  (a) is a drain on the iPad battery and (b) means incoming emails are not alerted to the iPad user for at least 15 mins after they have in fact arrived into your BTMail inbox.
    The "proactive" approach that other service providers offer is "Push" - so you get notified and can view your emails as soon as they arrive into your email inbox.
    Do I take it from your reply that you know for a fact that BTMail has no intention to offer "Push" email?

  • How to disable remote wipe option for mobile devices

    Hi,
    I have integrated environment of SCCM 2012 R2 and Windows Intune. I am managing Windows phone, Android and IOS devices through this setup. I was trying find an option to disable remote wipe option in the SCCM Console. Only selective wipe should be available.
    Can you please help me on how to configure this setting.
    Regards
    Leela

    I got the below response from the micososft intune team.
    "Issue Definition: Cx would like remote wipe disabled
    in the Admin console.
    Scope Agreement: Disable remote wipe feature from account.
    You will not be able to block this feature using Microsoft Intune.  System
    Center Configuration Manager might be able to control this feature.  You
    might consider opening a case with their team.
    The other thing to consider, is to limit the amount of Admin users you have.
    Anyone that is given Admin rights in Microsoft Intune will have the ability to
    use the wipe feature.  "
    I have raised a ticket with SCCM 2012 team, awaiting their response.

  • Best support option for failing Bluetooth?

    In the past few weeks or so, my Macbook has been losing bluetooth connectivity intermittently. I was hoping that somehow the 10.4.8 update would help, but if anything it's only gotten worse. Now it doesn't just happen when the laptop is hot, but also right after a cold boot.
    Anyway, I'm fed up and was wondering what would be the best support option. Should I call Applecare or take it to my local genius bar?

    So the problem was fixed at the Apple Store. They replaced my logic board and the bluetooth board + cable.
    I have to say that I'm impressed with the support I got this time. They ordered the parts and let me keep my laptop until they came in. I called to check in with them after several days when I hadn't heard back from them and was told they were still waiting on a few parts. The guy called me right back after he checked in the days shipment to tell me that the rest of the parts were in. I brought the laptop in that evening and the repair was complete the next morning. Very nice.
    I just wanted to throw that out there as I have posted my share of complaints about my MacBook here.

  • Remote installation option for SAPsetup installation server  removed.

    Hi all,
    I have been using SAPsetup Installation Server for distributing SAPGUI 6.4. Many options with this version, remote installation and Load Balancing to name a couple right within SAPADMIN. I have put the latest version 7.10 on a test server and those options are no longer available. Also I don't even see and upgrade option, am I missing something? Is it possible to use the old installation server to push out the new SAPGUI, if so how?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Hello Jeff,
    the installation software for SAPGUI 7.10is completely new and you can't distribute a SAPGUI 7.10 with an Installation Serrver installed with the SAPGUI 6.40 CD.

  • Lenovo support - options for recovering Windows 8 on new X230

    Hello, I recently purchased x230 with Windows 8.
    I installed Ubuntu 12.0 (attempting to dual boot).  Unfortuantely, Windows 8 is no longer accessible(UEFI error comes up on boot), the restore partition is also corrup ("required partition cannot be found").
    I attempted to install win 8 PRO that I purchased from scratch.  It failes because the Windows 8 key embedded into the EFI doesn't match the new Windows 8 PRO that I have on DVD.
    I chatted with Lenovo support, asking to purchase restore DVDs for my laptop - I was told that it's not possible (after going thorugh a couple of people and wasting 1.5 hours on chat_
    Please provide some support as it is unacceptable that I cannot install clean version of WIndows 8 and the restore disks are not available from Lenovo.
    Thank You.

    Unfortunately, win 8 doesn't support dual boot in native or not tweaked mode.

  • BE6K supported options for voice conferencing

    Hello All,
    Does anyone know or understand why CUCM 8.6.2 on BE6K cannot support MeetingPlace 8.5?   I could understand if its on the same UCS but I understand from Cisco SE the BE6K is not supported on box or off box when intergrated with MeetingPlace.   My only options are to upgrade the BE6K to Full CUCM and CUC at a cost of 11.00(CUCM) + 11.00 (CUC) * number of users (Plus ESW+UCSS).
    Thanks
    Roger....

    The idea behind the BE6000 marketing bundle is that it is designed to support up to 1000 users per system, given the lower cost C220M3 server configuration (SATA drives).  In a Unity Cxn HA cluster running A/A, 500/500 would be ideal.  If you place both Unity Cxn servers in standalone mode with 500 users each, I can't see that offering any different load on the system.  So you should be ok, just realize if you separate the UCM cluster across a WAN, you also have a BW requirement to meet, although this is much less most likey - min 3Mbps but depends on your busy hour calculations.  UCM BW requirement is discussed in the main UC SRND.

  • Is there a curser option for iPad Air 2.

    is there a setting to get a curser forward and back buttons like on the iPhone 6 plus. This is a great feature I hope I can enable it in setying though I have yet to find it.

    I highly recommend Cloud On. It's Excel, Word and Powerpoint in one.
    It also Syncs to Dropbox so you can access the files on any device that has dropbox connected.

  • Which browsers support flash player for ipad?

    Which browsers support Flash for Ipad.

    The iPad does not support Flash.
    Here's why:
    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Remote Enabled Module option for FI_ITEMS_DISPLAY

    Hi,
    We need to Enable the Remote Enable option for function module
    FI_ITEMS_DISPLAY to access the third party system.
    Please suggest wheather we can enable the remote enable option but in
    this function module refernce parameters are used.
    please suggest.

    Hi,
    purpose of this FM is to display ALV with some data which are passed to this function module and therefore it is meaningless to make this FM remote enabled. It is not clear what exactly is your issue. Can You explain it in more detail?
    If you want to get items data from third party system and than to display them in SAP, you do not need to change this FM to remote enabled. You just need to get data from external system before calling this FM for displaying data and pass these data to FM FI_ITEMS_DISPLAY.
    If you want do display ALV in third party system, it is not possible.
    In general, it is possible to make a customer function module which will be remote enabled and will be used as a "wrapper" and call this FM instead of the original one.
    Regards,
    Adrian
