Is there any software that I could install on my work computer and my Mac so when I go home I could remotely access my PC through my Mac easily and efficiently? The software that my job uses is PC only so I was wondering if I could do the same thing with software that works with both windows and the Mac.
I've bought a new mac mini (2.53ghz model) and used these instructions to put windows 7 64 bit on:half way down the page it give you a link on putting 64bit on non support macs.Why doesn't the new mac mini support 64bit win 7??!I usually remotely access the mini from my laptop. How can I remotely restart from osx into win 7? I've gone to startup disks but win 7 isn't there even though BOOTCAMP is on my desktop.
I have always connected to my server remotely through an IP address.I have not been able to do this with my Macbook pro OS X 10.5.6.Apparently something about not being able to use active X on Mac.Anyone have any insight? Can't believe I am the only person trying to do this!
I just got the new 15" Macbook Pro a few days ago. My first Mac
Anyway, when I plugged my external speakers into the headphone jack of the MBP, the volume control (both in the Apple bar thing on the top of the screen and the F10/F11 buttons) switched so it would control the external speakers, as it should. The problem started when I unplugged the speakers and went to use the internal speakers again.
And the volume control doesn't work. If I push F11 for volume up, the little screen appears and it looks like the volume is going up, complete with the little water drop sounds, but it doesn't actually adjust the volume. If I plug the speakers back in, it will control the speakers properly, but I can't figure out how to make it control the internal speakers again
I'm sure that if I restarted it would fix itself (probably), but that's a real pain as I am frequently plugging in and unplugging speakers to my laptop.
I currently have 2 mac. I am using the second mac as a webserver and just want to be able to connect to it remotely so I don't need a monitor. What is the best program to use to remotely connect to my second mac?
I was wondering if there is any built in or simple way to control my desktop pc (which is running vista 32bit) via my macbook running on OSX 10.5.6? I have heard of LogMeIn but I feel like there should be an easier built in way, I know on Windows you have a program to connect to other computers remotely.
I confess, Windows 7 is a good OS, even though 90% of its "features" you could find hidden in either WinXP or Vista, but the usability feature for me that fits in this 10% "new features" category was definitely Aero Snap and up to date there was no 1:1 Mac solution.Now I was extatic to download that handy Cinch tool fro And yes, in my opinion it looks even more elegant and feels more natural on Mac OS X than Windows but that is my highly biased opinion.
I want to see the screen of a Tiger machine on my Leopard machine - the Tiger machine is not on a local network but is on the internet. I have Apple remote Desktop 3.2, maybe leopards ichat will do it?
just trying to get back into Windows 7 after installing it via Boot Camp. Only thing is that holding down the option key during restart does nothing, and although the partition in which Windows 7 is installed under shows up in finder, I am unable to view it in system preferences so that I can boot from it. Any advice?
I installed Windows Vista, and Vista boots up fine. However, I hold down the command keys when starting my computer up again, and it won't let me select Mac OS X. It just starts Vista.
On "My Computer" in Vista I see "Bootcamp (C" and "Macintosh HD (E in my Hard Disks Drives. Also, whenever I start up Vista it tells me something about a wrongly formatted drive. My files are still all in the Mactintosh HD drive, but I don't know how to start up Mac OS X.
On windows there is a remote desktop feature that I use for work and it is pretty cool. I am wondering if there is a way to do that on the mac? My parents are up there in the years and have 0 clue how to do almost anything on their computer. Everytime they call me out of their other 4 kids for help it feels like someone is hitting me in the head with a steel chair with every question that they give. I like to be able to sign into their imac from my macbook pro and show them exactly what to do while I guide them. I keep telling them to go to iphoto and they keep saying facebook.
My in-laws bought a Macbook Air and I would like to be able remotely control their Mac. Can I do this inexpensively? I saw the remote desktop - but that looks like it is for net administrators.
I am looking for a program or a way of taking control of a mac. I would be at home and the computer I would be working with would be at my job. I work for a print company and I would work with adobe cs4, quark and suitcase remotely. First of all is this possible and if yes how to do it. The company will pay for the software necessary to accomplish this.
I have installed 'Remote Desktop Connection for Mac' on my MacBook as I am looking into being able to remotely control my Windows PC which is in the same house. I don't have a physical network setup, however I wondered if I could control the PC via the WWW on my Mac?
Is it possible to do this? Just my brother has a habit of leaving the desktop PC, the big energy guzzler, on overnight. Is there anyway to shut it down remotely? FTP or whatever? All'st I know is the Mac technician at uni can shut all the machines down in a block from one machine.
How can I remotely wake a sleeping Mac? For example, if I have .mac/Mobile-Me "Back to My Mac" set up on my home iMac and work MacBook, and I am on the road, is there a way for me to wake the sleeping iMac remotely, either via "Back to My Mac", or a Terminal command?
I'll be moving away for university in a month but will occasionally need to access my family PC at home (remotely) to transfer files to my Mac and manage those files (mainly deleting them afterwards). I've been doing some research and have found remote desktop access applications like LogMeIn and VNC freeware, and I seem to gather that VPN networks can somehow accomplish what I'm trying to do here. Problem is, the easy-to-use apps like LogMeIn are awfully expensive for what they do, and I'm looking for something free or relatively cheap that can handle my problem properly. But the freeware VNC clients are extremely confusing to me, and I'm having trouble understanding the concept of VPNs, how they work and how they can possibly solve my problem here.
memory, the reasons for why I'm planning an upgrade is because of the Parallels. The start up of Windows is not as fast as I want as it blocks all others application for a couple of moments, then it works pretty well on programs that dont require much memory. If it would make a significant difference I would upgrade to 4GB.The problem: I believe my Mac has 2*1GB memories, making it hard to upgrade to lets say 4GB, even if I buy a 2GB, (hope its working mounting different sizes in the the slots), still makes me sell the other 1GB left free, waste of time or money. Is there un upgrade solution or how could I do it to have 2* 2GB ?
Just setting up all my sweet new mac product. I am wanting to access my files that are shared on my pc remotely on my MacBook. Im just not sure what application to use to do so. Basically just want access to all my music and video.
I am doing a project in iMovie. I have it all finished and ready to go. I'm going to integrate it with iDVD to make it look nice and I would like to burn it onto DVD.
Now, I have no SuperDrive with my MacBook Air. However, I have desktop computer that has Windows on it that the MacBook Air uses as a Remote Disk.
Now, will my MacBook Air be able to burn a DVD remotely? If not, could I just copy the file over to my Window's desktop computer and burn it from there, or will that be a compatibility issue?
I am trying to access my computer remotely via Logmein however it is either in sleep/suspend mode and the remote software is not active as a result. Anyway I can wake it up and prevent from happening in future?
