Screen sharing works from home to work but can't type shifted characters

hi
i can successfully connect to from my home (using macbook or macmini) to my work mac using screen sharing but it seems that i can't type shifted characters like
@ or _
i can type these characters using screen sharing within the network at work so. any reason why this might be?
best wishes
max

I'm having exactly the same keyboard issue. Certainly nothing has ever enhanced my concentration while coding like suddenly becoming unable to type.
I'm seeing a great many devicemgr and rake errors in my system log. I don't know if they're related. How 'bout you?
If you're unfamiliar with the system log…
Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
If necessary, choose View > Show Log List.
system.log is at the top of the FILES section.
Try searching it for hot words like DEBUG, FATAL, and aborted.
I've found some discussions that would tend to indicate my errors are postGres related – I'm running OS X server.

Enterprise structure -work from home employees

Hi all,
We are in the process of setting up our Enterprise Structure. PA will be set up as 4 physical offices of the company in US. PSA as to be set up as Divisions of the company. We also have work from home employees working at different locations (15 states) in USA. Right now they are tracked statewise. They are categorized by work from home- per state. Also all work from home employees are treated the same way as other employees who work from office locations in terms of benefits and pay. They are considered as Active employees in current legacy system.
I want the advise on how to go ahead for setting up PA, PSA, EG and ESG for thses emplyees. One option is to set up 15 personnal areas as 15 states which will divide the work from home emp (in addition to 4 PAs as offices) or the other is just to set up one PA for all homebase employees in US and then maintain their locations/states somewhere else.
Has anyone come across the same situation ? How the work from home emp. in other companies are categorized? Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

Thanks Manoj and Sikinder.
And how to categorize them under PA? As I said ealier, we have 4 PAs as physical offices and I am confused where to put the work from employees in Enterprise Structure.
Kindly suggest.
Thanks.

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection.

If you're trying to connect to a Bonjour server on the remote network, that won't work over a layer 3 VPN. Use something like Hamachi or one of the SSH-tunnelling Bonjour proxy apps for that.

Does Remote Desktop let you log into a work computer and allow you to work from home?

I want to know if this is a program I shuld purchase where I can log into my computer at work from home & work from home?

http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/
But if all you need is to connect to and from your work computer, whether to take control of the other computer or to access files, ARD would be overkill. You can share files via the built-in file sharing and you can take control via one of the free solutions such as VNC or LogMeIn (assuming your work's network allows such access).

How can I share the work iTunes with my home iTunes so I can work from home? Need to be able to share playlists and files for editing tracks.

I've just started working for a media company that provides the music for sporting events. They use iTunes to create playlists that I have to load into an IR machine with hot keys. I also have to edit tracks to create new stings and intros. As there is a 2.5 hour commute, I want to access the work iTunes library from my home MBP so I can work from home. When I'm at work I can share the work iTunes library, but when I'm back home I can't use it. Any ideas of how I could effectively Home Share over the internet with two seperate iTunes accounts?
The work iMac is running 10.7.5 and my MBP is 10.8.4

In that case, does anybody know of a program or workaround that will make this so?

Hi Wasim,
you probably have a reverse proxy at your data center,
if you have your url: www.company.com:8006/../.../...
try to run your application without the portnumber in the url:
www.company.com/../.../...
the viewer won't work unfortunately

IMac at work, iMac at home. (Latest Yosemite and Apple Remote Desktop updates installed) Need to work from home at night. I don't know how to set my permissions so that I can just control my iMac at work.

If they have set up port forwarding for you already then that is different. In that case, then you could be experiencing the bug with the most recent release of ARD (3.7.2) and in particular ARD 3.7.2 and Yosemite ARD version 3.8 clients. It has been reported numerous times in the forums and to Apple that since 3.7.2, clients are frequently unavailable to connect to despite there being no network issue between the remote computer and client computer. I have not seen anyone report it who was working from outside the LAN to inside the LAN, but I have the same issue with a number of my own computers that are simply on a different subnet, so it stands rot reason that it would happen from a port forwarding location.
I am sometimes able to resolve the issue locally by SSH connecting into the client computer using Terminal on my admin machine and restarting or relaunching the ARD agent on the remote device, then trying to connect to it again after about 30 seconds.
The Terminal commands for this procedure are as follows, though you might need to include a port number from outside the LAN:
First:
ssh ipaddress -l adminusername
(example: ssh 192.168.1.1 -l macadmin)
Second:
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent
After that, waiting about 30 seconds and trying to observe or control usually works, though the computer may still fail to show an online or lit-up status indicator.

I have a disability , can i work from home as an entry level programmer

i get anxiety , bad, in office settings, is it possible for me to work at home once i graduate school as a java programmer? i won't be able to work in an office i get claustrophobic. derek

The issue isn't whether a person can get work done at home (no problem), the real issue is whether a company will hire a new guy right out of college with no work experience to work at home. It seems really unlikely to me; most companies want you to at least start out at the office so you can learn their codebase and procedures around other, experienced co-workers.
One approach would be to develop a specialized and deep skill set. If you were one of the few programmers who really knew how to handle a particular problem, you might be able to get a job as a consultant. Actually I've seen that a lot; you come into the office once a month for meetings and the rest of the time you work remotely. The tricky part is just getting to that position right out of college.
Another thing you can do is try to get an office job, but select a job with an office you don't find so bad. A lot of offices are designed as just one huge room with a lot of desks (no cubicles). If a company likes you, they might have no trouble making special seating arrangements, or letting you work outside or something.
You might also be able to get pick-up work as a programmer and work from home. Again though you'd need to have a proven skill-set to start out with.
What's your graduate work about? Maybe you can use that.

Administer from home and work?

I am the administer of CPS. I work from home and at the
office. My name appears twice as administrator. The drafts sent for
review show on one or the other draft consoles, but not both. Is it
possible to administer from multiple computers using just one
Administrator name? Thanks, Jean

That's a horrible work around and doesn't do what I'd like at all.
I have an iPhone, I have a home computer that I put stuff and sync it to.
I also have a job at a company that produces a TV show and commercials. I'd like to be able to drag and drop copies of those onto my iPhone so I can show people. It doesn't make any sense, nor is it any "fun" to have to drag those to a USB drive, take them home and THEN load them on the iPhone.

Mozilla just updated to Firefox 4 and disabled my F5 access. I can no longer work from home!

I'm trying to connect to my work network from home, but Firefox automatically updated to Firefox 4 on my home computer and disabled my F5 software which was what I was using to remotely login to my work computer. F5 Networks VPN client is standard stuff issued by my Federal Government job to allow me to work from home.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.

For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

Transferring back-and-forth from home and work

I need to transfer my Mail and Address book back-and-forth from home to work.
1. Which files do I export from home?
2. Where is it imported into work?
3. Are there any known issues with the database files becoming corrupt from going back-and-forth like this?
Thanks.

what os are both macs running on?
i would suggest you look at www.mac.com, the .mac service, if you want to sync various data between two macs - works with tiger and leopard os, but not panther.
manually moving folders may be cumbersome and end up with unintended consequences, as in human error or other glitches.
nonethless the folders that contain data for both mail and ab are respectively homefolder/library/mail and homefolder/library/mail downloads for mail and homefolder/library/application support/address book for ab.
you will also have to copy the com.apple.mail.plist and com.apple.mail.searchhistory.plist - for mail - and the com.apple.addressbook.abd.plist and the com.apple.addressbook.plist files - for ab - all four located in homefolder/library/preferences.
hope this helps

I applied for AppleCare work from home 7 days ago and haven't received an email regarding my application status. Anyone know how long this takes or if I shouldn't expect anything?

I have no idea how long it takes. I applied for one several months ago. The position is still posted but I haven't heard a thing.

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both.

How is it best to keep files synced between iMac and Macbook? I work from home on my iMac and then out in meetings on my Macbook and need to have access to the same files on both. The folders are using Microsoft programmes as this is compatiable with 90% of my colleagues, therefore I can't use the Icloud service.

No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.
