Connecting to my Desktop

I have been trying to connect to my PC at work. I can connect virtually from any PC to my work PC, changing any computer into the desktop of my work computer. I cannot do this with my Powerbook in either Safari or Firefox because they don't have active X control. I read somewhere that I could do it with IE for Mac and so I went and downloaded the last version. But that won't work because we have no security certificate on our server at work and IE for Mac won't let me skip that requirement. Do you know anything I can do?
Thanks,
Randy

There is no ActiveX support on any Mac browser.
Your choice is either Virtual PC or a real PC.

I have forgotten my Password to be able to connect between my desktop Mac and Mac Book on my home network. How can I recover the password or change it?

I have forgotten my Password to be able to connect between my desktop Mac and Mac Book on my home network. How can I recover the password or change it?

The password used to log in to a user account remotely is the same as you would use to log into it locally. You can also use your Apple ID, so try that.
To change your login password read OS X Mavericks: Reset a login password
also OS X Mavericks: If you forget your login password

5th gen ipod does not connect to mac desktop or itunes

My ipod does not connect with my desktop or itunes (ie when I plug the ipod in using the original USB cable nothing happens--no charging no recognition that it has been connected). My nano does work with the same cable so I know it's not that. I've followed the support instructions resetting, downloading the latest software and restarting. I cannot, however, restore since the first step of the instruction is to connect the ipod and wait for it to show in the source list in itunes. It is also interesting that when I use the car charger the ipod does charge and shows the charging icon.
Any suggestions?

I guess i can lend my voice to the conversation. my ipod "locks up" when i connect to my computer also. i just updated itunes and have not been able to connect. there is no ipod folder on my computer when i search through ""finder". i have to "reset" it after i disconnect to continue to play it. i have done everything short of "restoring" due to i have over 3000 songs and i'm unable to back up. the manuel refers to a disk to update. i can only play songs, and recharge. need help to.

HT1386 I was connected to my desktop to upload pictures but I tune activated and sucked up all my phone data and notes. I don't have I tune account, how can i get back those data??

My I phone was connected to my desktop to upload pictures, magically I tune activated and synced all my phone data and notes. I don't have Itune account.

This happened because you had not disabled automatic syncing in iTunes (so your phone synced when you connected it to your computer). If you haven't synced again since this happened you may be able to restore your phone to the backup created at the beginning of the sync process to recover your data. (If you have synced again the backup is already overwritten and your data is lost). To do this do the following:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences. On the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Now connect your phone and import your photos if you haven't already done so (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083).
Now open iTunes and right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Transfer Purchases (to transfer any recent purchases to your iTunes library prior to restore from backup).
Right-click on the name of your phone again and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
When complete, you can go back to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.

How do I connect my Mac Desktop to my work windows

That depends on what you mean by "connect".

Connection to Remote Desktop is keep dropping

Hello everybody,
I use my laptop to remote in to my office work station. So, what I do is I go through a portal, which authenticates me to login to my office work station. When I start working on it, my remote connection drops for every 3 (approx) minutes.
But the actual laptop wont loose WIFI connection.
As an example, If I am listening to Pandora on my laptop and connects to my office work station through a portal, I just looses my connection to portal and automatically it reconnects in in first of its 20 retries. But laptop never stops playing Pandora
music, so It never looses WIFI connection, for some reason it just drops the remote connection.
Laptop: Dell Inspiron 13Z
I never had this problem with my other DELL latitude laptop which runs Windows 7. It never drops connection to remote desktop. I am not sure whether it is IE 11 bug or Windows 8.1 bug or this crappy DELL inspiron 13 Z bug.
What I did so far.
Changed the adapter settings to never save power. Changed settings to never sleeps, hibernate.
Any help is truly appreciated. With out that remote in functionality this laptop is literally a brick.
Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Have you setup the printer redirect in RDP?
If so, please uncheck it for testing this issue.
Meanwhile, if this issue happened while using wireless connections, try to connect to internet via cable to see what’s going on.
For further research, please upload the event log related to your RDP here.
Look forward to your response.

My 8520 Curve wont connect with Blackberry desktop

Hello
when i connect my blackberry 8520 curve with my pc, then it does not connect with blackberry desktop
it just opens like a external hard drive and i can browse the folders and such but it wont sync with
blackberry desktop.
When i connect it it gives a usb error that the drivers are not installed succesfully
are there usb drivers for the blackberry 8520 curve ?
kind regards G.

Have you done a battery pull yet? If not, give that a shot.
Open desktop manager first, then try to connect the phone when it says "connect your device"

Can mac mini work connected to imac desktop

can mac mini work connected to imac desktop. I know its silly question but can i make the mac mini main operating system on my imac after transferring all of my itunes etc?

What is Target Display mode?
But only 27" iMac (Late 2009 or Mid 2010) can do this.
Since you mentioned an Early 2009 iMac I assume that it is a 24" iMac which sadly has not this capability.
If I am correct, you might wanna have a look at ScreenRecycler http://www.screenrecycler.com/ScreenRecycler.html

If I can connect using remote desktop, does it mean I can connect using ftp?

Hello everyone, I have a question about connection using ftp.
Normally when I want to connect through ftp, everything is provided such as the ftp name and username and password by my hosting service. But now I don't have all these details about a local server in my company office because the server is actually not hosting
any sites. It's just a server where documents are stored.
But I need a way to connect to this server through my web application.
All I know are:
It is possible to connect through remote desktop to that server
There is an ip address for that server ( The server machine is in my company office)
I have a username and password that allows me to access network drive on that server (I can do this only by directly plugging the cat5 cable to my laptop)
When I configure my outlook email using microsoft exchange server, this is how my settings look like (example.net.au is just for example sake):
Server: server1.example.net.au
User name: [email protected]
Does the ftp detail exist for this server? How do I find out?

Thanks for the reply, Dave. The problem is the admin is not working here anymore. I wonder if there is a way i could figure that out. Out of curiosity how do ftp details created? If I want to set up FTP details from scratch, what do I need?
Thanks
you need to ask anyone from your company who is familiar in your IT infrastructure.
starting FTP from scratch, is okay but security is one thing.
you might end up an FTP server that is free or open to the internet, make sure you exactly know what you are doing.
even though there's a lot of guide on the internet, make sure also you understand what you are following in the guide.
Please check with someone who is quite familiar on this kind of things.

Error Message trying to connect BB and Desktop Manager

I've had my BB for a few months now, and I used to be able to connect it to my laptop and sync Outlook data. Now it won't connect to the Desktop Manager any more. I always get an error message, and this is the technical data it "Sends" to whomever, in the error reporting:
C:\DOCUME~1\GAYLEE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERc171.dir00\DesktopMgr.exe.mdmp
C:\DOCUME~1\GAYLEE~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WERc171.dir00\appcompat.txt
How do I get BB to connect to DM and start syncing again?
Thanks for help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

i am seeing alot of sync issues lately, the forced windows security update last week looks like it might be the culprit. reinstalling DTM has fixed it for a couple PCs for me. just thinking if you are goign to uninstall 4.3, might as well upgrade on the install.

HT204266 App store icon dissappeared from screen on ipad2, also cannot download or manage my apps in itunes when connected to my desktop

App store icon dissappeared from screen on ipad2, also cannot download or manage my apps in itunes when connected to my desktop. Need help!!

For the App Store icon check Settings>General>Restrictions. You may have restricted the installing of apps and the icon will disappear.
If that's not it, swipe from screen to screen as you may have moved the icon.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.
Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
More information is needed about the apps not syncing or downloading. Are you signed into the same ID on the iPad as your are using in iTunes on your computer and are you talking about iTunes on the computer being the problem?

Macbook air won't stay connected to my desktop

My new book air seems to drop connection from my desktop. I thought the airport connection is sufficiant. Do I need another peripheral?

I'm having this issue, as well. I have 2 MacBooks and they both lose WiFi after waking-up from sleep. Ever since Lion came to town, this has taken a poop in the connectivity bed.
I state a preferred network, yet after waking up it is no longer connected or grabs some random network. I've tried to tell it only preferred, but it keeps doing its own thing.
VERY ANNOYING.... especially when they fixed the iMac for the issue I am describing. Ughhh.

Hey Mari_43,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Since the white screen is still occuring after a reload of the device software, I suggest contacting your network service provider for repair options.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.
