Applications :: Remoting Into Mac Via PC And IPhone?
Nov 10, 2010
Just set up my iphone MyNZB app to work with my home MBP. I set up DynDNS to direct the app to my dynamic home IP and I'm hooked. I wanna do more! My computer at work sadly is a PC. If I want to use my mobileme back to my mac option, I've gotta find a Mac to login and do so with. It's great, but it's not convenient. Question is, there's so much VNC and RDC type programs out there, both paid and free. And there's different stuff for the iphone. What's people's recommendations? Is there a good free/cheap option that works on iPhones, PCs, and maybe even other Macs for me to remote into? Something so if I wanted to get some tasks done at home I could use my work computer? Of course any port forwarding that I'd need to do on the work end can't happen. But at home it's no problem of course. Oh, and my home's router is an AEBS.
Before I buy a Mac I need to know whether I will still be able to remote into my home computer (which will become a Mac soon) from work, which is a PC. will this still be possible? will I need to have any software on my home Mac to allow me to do this? Will I continue to be able to work on my work computer without having all of its software installed on my Mac at home?
I used Macthe Ripper to rip my sons chuggington dvd to my macbook pro, then i used handbrake to convert it, i managed to copy the converted file to my itunes library, but when i symc my iphone 3gs, it says it won't copy the file because it can't be played on my iphone.Several forums mention using the iphone/ipod touch preset when converting in Hnadbrake, now i may be a numpty, but i cant find this preset anywhere?! The closest thing i can see is an apple button/setting.when i selected apple and told it to play again, it said it would overwrite the prev converted verison. It took hours to convert the first time, if I do this, will it really work? Or will I waste another 3 hours?!
Has anyone gotten their hands on Outlook for the Mac yet. How does it compare to Apple mail? I am only interested in the email client part. Can this be separated from the rest of outlook?
Can this synch with the iphone? If so how?
Are there alternative email clients for the Mac that are better than apple mail? By this, i mean non web based clients.
an to do list app that has an iphone app and a dashboard widget or mac program that syncs to each other, so i can type something on my iphone and it shows up on my mac and if i type something on my mac it shows on my iphone
I have absolutely had it with this horrible POS program. I don't think they could have made itunes any more complicated for syncing apps and music. The second you want to change something it has to delete everything and resync it. All of a sudden I cant delete my own f**#ing music from my iphone with itunes? I go and right click my library and there is no remove option, nor do I see anywhere else where I can do that. I've had it with this frustrating steaming POS. Everytime I plug in my iphone it has to go through some stupid process that takes forever when all I want to do is sync one f$*(ing song, and if i make any sort of change it has to delete every little thing.
Seeing Peggle and Plants vs Zombies on the presentation caught my eye earlier and I was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind shedding some light on whether those are iPhone apps or the Mac versions of the app?
I have an iPhone 4 as well as a Mac loaded with the new Facetime beta - after all the fun of calling myself from my phone to computer and calling a couple friends from my computer it dawned on me that when someone wants to facetime with me, they have to know where I am at. If they call me via my email address they will get me on my Mac, but if they call me on my phone number they will get my phone...obviously - what I am saying is that by having 2 places to look it makes it difficult to just "call someone".
I understand that this is no different than finding someone at home/cell/office numbers, but there are features for those to locate you - I wonder if Apple has addressed this or will in the final release? I think what is needed is a way for facetime to have "find me" feature. I think that maybe it could "ring" in to the Mac first, then to the iPhone second, or vice vera depending on how you want it set in your preferences.
I have like 5 audiobooks in iTunes, but I only want to sync 1 audiobook with my iPhone. But when I try to sync my audiobook, it only allows me to sync ALL the audiobooks, not just one of them.
Firstly, the video doesnt play with anything except VLC on a Mac... quicktime simply replies with the message "An invalid public movie atom was found in the movie" and refuses to budge.
Secondly, I have a full version of VisualHub and Handbrake. Till date VH has never failed me but all of a sudden it says that 5.1 AAC is not supported.
Using Handbrake and the iPhone preset results in a disastrous transcode with ghastly sound effects like those in a horror movie... I later gathered that it was the same sound but playing at an extremely slow pace.
I've been trying to find some sort of program that would allow me to sync passwords between my Macbook and iPhone. Right now I just have a very basic program that you just have to type in one password for on my Mac--this is all I need--just something really basic that's password protect.
I recently shot a video using the camera on the Iphone 3GS. It was over 7 mins long and its 198 MB! This is not a desirable size since i wish to upload it, so i was wondering if anyone can tell me a FREE software which i can use to compress it and maintain the same quality. By the way i am using the 27" Imac so any software should be for mac.
When you download a movie in the iTunes Store in HD, and you create a iPhone version for it it will "bundle" them (example). I've now got a bunch of movies I've downloaded elsewhere in HD, and when I create a iPhone version for them I now got 2 separate files in my iTunes.
This is a issue that i think iphone users have quite a bit.
I have the 3gs. For some reason whenever i sync to itunes, iphoto doesn't pop up. Problem is that i can't get my photos to sync into iphoto. i have the 10.6.3 software which supposedly fixes this problem but it still won't sync.
I've been looking for a homework planner application for a long time. Right now I'm giving Things a try, because it has a Mac app and a iPhone app that syncs. But it's not specifically for homework so I'm still looking for other apps. I like Schoolhouse, but it's only for Mac (no iPhone app). I really loved iProcrastinate and it DOES have an iPhone app to go with it but it doesn't offer syncing and the author has been promising sync for more than a year and I'm tired of waiting. I've tried a ton and really have been impressed. My favorite by far was iStudiez Pro, but I was heartbroken to find it ONLY was an iPhone app, no Mac app to sync with :-(. My school has an A Day/B Day schedule and I really like the applications that let you put in the schedule for your classes along with times (like iStudiez Pro). I think Schoolhouse used to be able to do that but the newest update took that out in the redesign.
Everything is working except the fact that when I read a mail in gmail on my iPhone it doesnt mark as read in Mail. But, when I clode the application in OS X and re-open it, the mail changes status and is now mark as read.
So I admit to fiddling around with the iPhoto folder in my Pictures section before I knew that was a bad idea. Basically I was trying to move pictures out of my iPhone library into another folder on my computer so they would be out of my iPhone library on my comp and my phone.
Anyway, now for some reason there are duplicates on my iPhone in the Photos app but not in the iPhoto app on my Mac. Any thoughts on what the hell I did?
I upgraded to the new 9.0 version of iTunes and now my iPhone won't sync. Every time I try t it gives me the eternal windmill.... Solutions I've tried include the following:
-Plugging in iPhone while not connected to the airport
Can someone explain why I can setup an exchange account on my iphone and it works flawlessly, (Mail, calendar, appointments, etc...) But the same settings will not work on maill.app in SL. I know my company is NOT using Exchange 2007.
I went out and purchased FCE in hopes of a better editing experience then iMovie '09. I love the way FCE is set up with the timeline and everything else.
All of my material comes from my iPhone 3GS video camera and whenever I press "space" in the timeline to preview the clip it just says unrendered.
I've done some research and found that it is something to do with the project settings. I have tried to figure it out on my own but I cant seem to find which preset I need to use in the easy setup menu.
Can I use a Power Mac G4 to develop iPhone applications? I have a 400 mhz Power Mac with 512 meg of RAM and a 20 gig HD. Is this enough to run the OS that the iPhone SDK requires. I have a .dmg file that is named iphone_sdk_3.1.2_with_xcode_3.1.2_snow_leopard_10m2003.dmg. Will this G4 run Snow Leopard effectively or at all? Am I barking up the wrong tree with this old dog ? I'd rather know now so I don't waste my time chasing my tail and instead get the right hardware and software to get going with this.
