Hi Tim, Thanks a lot, I'll give it another try. Obviously I would be a much happier person if it worked 100% reliably, but indeed the hard part is getting the Server app updated, and then restarting it; often it's easier to just remember to bring the keyboard, even when I'm remoting close

Hi Tim, The problem comes when you need an interactive utility, such as Directory Editor, System Preferences or, most frustrating of all, the Mac App Store. Though you may use the softwareupdate command-line tool to fetch software updates, you can't get Mac App Store updates, including to

My understanding from some discussions on the TIDBITS.COM newsletters is that BTMM uses IPv6 protocols and therefore the lack of IPv4 address space should not be a deterrent. Best wishes, Jonathan On Jul 5, 2014, at 7:09 PM, Sabahattin Gucukoglu listse...@me.com wrote: Apple has Apple

Hi Jonathan. BTMM does use IPv6 for the internal cloud addresses (unique-local addressing), but the endpoints are still IPv4. It's entirely possible that Apple has changed their protocol since they last documented it, but at the time the home gateway needed some kind of NAT traversal support,

Hi Sabahattin, Yes, interactive actions are problematic. Many System Prefs are configurable via the command line though, so I often ssh in as root and set things that way. Are you positive that the Server app will not update using the SoftwareUpdate tool through ssh and in as root? My

Tandom is an implementation of the VNC protocol. I expect as long as sound is transferred too, that you might be able to use VNC clients and servers on the Macintosh to accomplish this. Also, Apple provides Back to my Mac services that allow at least sighted individuals to control a computer

Apple has Apple Remote Desktop, for which the client and server parts are already in the operating system, but for which the user interface is exposed fully by the paid ARD application. BTMM (Back To My Mac) is a specific method for accessing services on a remote Mac with the help of Apple's

Hi there, Yes, but it is not nearly as good. You can use iMessage, and setup a screenshare with the person's User ID, and you can hear the audio from the other computer's speakers. It's slow, but it will work. On Jul 4, 2014, at 6:11 AM, Ryan Mann rmann0...@gmail.com wrote: For those that

For those that don't know, Tandom is a feature in the JAWS screen reader that allows a JAWS user to connect to another JAWS user's computer, hear what is going on and even control that person's computer. Neither person needs to know the IP address. Is there a way to do this with VoiceOver?

Team Viewer works well, so long as the controller turns VO off. The only problem is that audio is not transferred, so to hear VO on the target computer, a secondary system must be used. Phones, Skype, FaceTime, or something like that to let the controller hear the audio is a requirement. On Jul
