What is a VNC viewer?

Under Sys Pref> Sharing > Computer setting there is an option for VNC viewer, what does it mean.
I am trying to setup the Back to my Mac feature but I want to make sure that I will be the only one able to use it on my Macs. don't want anybody to access my screen....
Any inputs, suggestions or reading material on the subject.
Thanks

Virtual Network Computing. Now you know as much as I do.
To learn more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VNC
Search Mac help on your computer for "back to my mac" for a couple of articles on screen sharing.
Sorry I can't help more.

Launch Console fails: the vnc viewer is not installed on the manager server and no local vnc viewer is found.

Hello,
I have created and started a VM image and try to configure this image, but when launching the console I get the error:
"the vnc viewer is not installed on the manager server and no local vnc viewer is found."
I've read the vnc console does not rely on a local version of the vnc client, but uses the java vnc. From the java log I get:
Java Web Start 1.6.0_43
Using JRE version 1.6.0_43-b01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\Users\kgraaf
28-jun-2013 10:17:04 com.oracle.ovm.ras.proxy.RasProxyApplet main
INFO: ServiceType : VNC
28-jun-2013 10:17:04 com.oracle.ovm.ras.proxy.external.ViewerLauncherFactory getViewerLauncher
INFO: Os is : windows 7
It is not clear to me yet what is expected to be running where. My configuration is:
- VM Server 3.1 on Linux host A
- VM Manager 3.1 on Linux host B
- Connected via Windows 7 64-bit client via a browser to the Management Server. Let's call this host C
When launching the console it tries to connect to 127.0.0.1:60505 so to localhost and a port#.
- Given this information I would expect it tries to launch the vncviewer from my management server (host B).
- /usr/bin/vncviewer is installed on host B, but this appears not to be used.
- We see java vnc is started on my Windows 7 client (host C) and it tries to connect to 127.0.0.1 (localhost on my Windows client??) and not to the remote management server (host B)!?
Questions:
1 - Can someone explain what exactly is being executed (from where and to which host) when launching the console?
2 - Is this a java version / Windows 7 related configuration issue? How to fix this?
Thanks,
Klaas.

Per Oracle's website - RAN into this a few hours ago...Do it as ROOT on the VM Manager Host
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26996_01/E18548/html/BABFBEIF.html
It is preferred that you install either TightVNC on the Oracle VM Manager host computer. You can get the latest TightVNC package from:
http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/
Install TightVNC with the command:
# rpm -ivh tightvnc-java-version.noarch.rpm

TightVNC (or other windows VNC viewer) connecting to OS LION

Have been using TightVNC viewer on a windows based PC to connect to my iMac without any problems.
Upon upgrading to Lion, I am no longer able to connect to VNC.
When I connect, I get a gray screen with my username, prompting me for a password. I am unable to type or click, etc.
I understand there is a new protocol for connecting to VNC. I have no problems mac-to-mac or even iphone-to-mac , however, I am looking for a solution for pc-to-mac.
Does anyone know how to configure tightVNC to make this work? Can anyone recommend another software that would work?
Thanks for any input
Mike

We are having the same issue with our Lion. With the help of this thread:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1194456
We came up with a workaround:
* Use RealVNC client
- this uses the ZRLE encoding (which is what Lion VNC uses); TightVNC does not use it.
Configure RealVNC client with:
* Misc Tab
Uncheck "Shared connection (do not disconnect other viewers)
Uncheck 'Only use protocol version 3.3
* Default Tab (Load/Save Tab)
Save as default (click Save)
* Now run VNC viewer and enter the password to authenticate.
Caveats:
Screen Sharing seems to work but not remote management
Due to the new multiuser login with Lion, you'll need to log out of OS before disconnecting to VNC. If you don't log out, you can't reconnect in.

What happened to Split View?

I wanted to watch the Macword Keynote today to see what features Steve put out there that we don't currently have.
One is "Split View" email:
This allows us to see the email message in the current window with the email list at the top, and the mail message at the bottom.
I also wanted to put out there that I can confirm there are 2 extra tabs at the top of iTunes that they previewed, the second to last on the right vaguely makes out "ringtones".
Regardless, at the bottom there is an additional green color category that you cannot make out the text to.
Back to the question... What happened to split view on email?!?!?

It's just annoying, he really spent some time on it.
Hopefully in an update.

I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac. The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder

I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac. The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto. I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing. Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??
Mitch

iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread

ICalendar: How do I know what day, in month view, I am working on?

The calendar in Mavericks is so frustrating compared to SL. How do I know what day, in month view, I am working on? There is no highlight or box or anything. Am I missing something? Also I suppose its not possible to just see 1 month anymore like it use to be instead of seeing 6 weeks. Thanks. Sure wish Apple would let us keep our Macs the way WE like it with a classic setting everytime they add something that they think is better. Like those awesome grey icons all over the place instead of color.

What are the tables/view used to Compute Dependecies Report

Hi,
what are the tables/views we have in APEX, which is used to create the Compute Dependecies Report
Home -> Application xxxxx > Application Reports > Shared Components > Database Object Dependencies
thanks,
Deepak

Hi Scott,
thanks for the quick response.
So my question is then...
I want to create a APEX Report which will give me the following information.
1. Application and all the Pages associated with it, which I am getting from apex_applications and
apex_application_pages. This is OK
2. List of all the Database Objects (Table/View) which the individual page is using, I mean relation between Page ID and database object. HOW to get that???.....(I want for each individual page, the list all the database objects (tables/views), which that page is using)
Thanks,
Deepak

what happen if a view have stored data?

I want to know the reason that why querying view is slower then querying a normal table?..Untrue.
For example take a table with 2laks record and a view for that table.
If i make a query like( Select name,address from table) then it works fast then select(name,address)from view..Incorrectly interpreting the results.
A view is a SQL statement. Only difference is that the SQL statement is stored in the database's dictionary. Let's consider the following view:
create or replace view foo_view as select * from empWhen you use the view as follows:
select * from foo_viewOracle sees it as follows:
select * from (select * from emp)This is no slower, or no faster, than providing the following SQL to Oracle:
select * from empSo if you observe a difference in performance between using plain SQL versus using that same SQL via a view, there are other reasons for that difference in performance. The reason is NOT that views are slower.

VNC viewing problem

I'm running 10.5.5 on my 17" MacBook Pro and have VNC enabled (requiring a password). I work in a place full of linux work stations and these guys use VNC all the time. I'm the only Mac guy in the house .
Anyway, I can join in on any of their VNC sessions by bringing up RealVNC's VNCViewer and typing in a specific IP address followed by ":1" and after entering the password I can see their world. The Console says the following when I connect:
11/17/08 3:33:07 PM [0x0-0x42042].com.realvnc.VNCViewer[598] Connected to 10.66.87.15 on port 5901
However, if I do a Connect To Server and enter vnc://10.66.87.15:1 then I immediately get a connection failure dialog box. Similarly, if I ask any of those guys to look at my screen, they type in my IP address (with or without "") into their VNC viewer and they get the password prompt. When they enter the password, my menu bar flashes briefly (nothing reported in the Console) and their application hangs - requiring a force quit. This is usually followed by gratuitous snickering etc...
I'm stumped - any ideas?
Mick.

I just want to make sure I understand. When you say requiring a password, did you use
System Preferences -> Sharing -> Computer Settings
[X] VNC viewers may control screen with password:
You will be using VNC port 5900. Or in their world,
Port 5900 is the standard VNC port. Many VNC servers/viewers use the shorthand , :1, :2, etc... to mean 5900, 5901, 5902, etc...
Your vnc://address.of.Linux.sys:5901 is because a URL is a full address and the : in that address is a generic way to specify a port via a URL, not a special VNC shorthand notation.
If you do not make any progress, you can always install the Vine Server, assign it to port 5901, and let your Linux co-workers use that to view your screen.
Also, you might want to check out JollysFastVNC client and the Chicken of the VNC clients, if for some reason the RealVNC and or the Linux Screen Sharing clients give you problems. Depending on the situation I use different VNC viewers. Some give better remote F8 key control during boot, some a better at low bandwidth performance, some do copy/paste better, etc... Your mileage may vary.

What column diffrentiate v$view to the gv$views and how

Hi ALL,
could u plz explain what column diffrentiate v$view to the gv$views? and how?

In Oracle9i Real Application Clusters, querying a GV$ view retrieves the V$ view information from all qualified instances. In addition to the V$ information, each GV$ view contains an extra column named INST_ID of datatype NUMBER. The INST_ID column displays the instance number from which the associated V$ view information was obtained. The INST_ID column can be used as a filter to retrieve V$ information from a subset of available instances.

Faster Lion to Windows VNC viewer?

I am trying to use my 2011 iMac (running most recent Lion build) to connect and work on my Windows system at work. I have TightVNC server running on my windows system at the office. I can get Lion's built-in VNC to connect, but it is really slow. I am getting tired of watching the constant screen redraw.
Are there any settings I am missing to speed this thing up, or is there a faster VNC viewer out there I should be using?

You may eventually use RDC client for Mac. It works pretty good.

Best VNC viewer?

I like vinagre, but since it's Gnome, it wants the Gnome-keyring-daemon to save my passwords.
Are there any simple vnc-viewer clients that are not DE-specific?

Unfortunately remmina isn't compiling at the moment, after the latest libpng/libjpeg updates.
remmina-svn does compile, but most of the dialog boxes are missing when trying to set up a connection.
We'll have to be patient until this is fixed.
In the meantime, I've found that my old package (for Remmina's predecessor) grdc-0.6.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz works!

Vnc viewer

I'm looking for a VNC viewer to connect to PCs to for screen sharing for tutorial purposes. Can't use Skype due to network restrictions. Any suggestions?

VNC is built into the mac operating system. To connect to a computer hosting VNC connection:
go to the dock
click on finder
go to the menu bar
click on the go menu
chose "connect to server..."
in the address bar type vnc://computerAddress.
click the connect button.
for the computerAddress you can use DNS name *assuming it has one), and or IP address.
you can also do vnc://user@computerAddress and vnc://user:password@computerAddress.
if you want, you can type this in the addressbar of safari, and then drag the url to the desktop to create file you can double click on to connect to the computer quickly.
you can also add the address you type in the address bar of the connect to server dialog box to the favorits list in the dialog box.
