Using Back to my MAC as a Support Tool. - Once of the coolest pieces of software that Apple included with iCloud, and essentially has been around for quite a while is Back to my MAC.. This software application allows you to remotely control your other MACs on you account. Share Screen, Transfer Files, etc as if they were on the same network with you. The thing is, in a support role we need to be able to at times remote control another individuals computer from a long distance to help fix a problem. The dilemna is that you can't easily plug in another account into your iCloud configuration. If you do, you lose everything. So as a simple quick fix you can build another account on your machine to log into, then configure that "Tech Support" account with credentials of the use's iCloud account your wanting to utilize. Yes this is breaking the rule of never give out your password, so make sure the person supporting your machine is trustworthy, or just reset your password after the fix is complete. Once this occurs, you should then be able to access the other parties resources from your current MAC. Baring all network configurations are correct, etc. - Have fun.. - Justin

Why not IT? One of the fast projected growth fields from 2008 - 2018 - With the Bureau of Labor Statistics stating, "Overall employment of computer network, systems, and database administrators is projected to increase by 30 percent from 2008 to 2018, much faster than the average for all occupations. In addition, this occupation will add 286,600 new jobs over that period. Growth, however, will vary by specialty." And that variance means that, "Employment of network systems and data communications analysts is projected to increase by 53 percent", in that period. Pretty amazing project growth by the US Government. If you'd like to read more and look at other fields for comparison check out, "http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos305.htm". It will give you a good idea on which career path one should choose for the future. And pay is just a great benefit from bottom 10% around $41k, and the top 10 over $100k a year. With the mean ranging between 50 to 90k/yr. Best of all Rasmussen College has your back the entire way to get you prepared for excellent career opportunities such as Network Administration.
