Hello, How would I connect to a Mac Snow Leopard

from a Windows7 via Remote Desktop, please? I am a home user with my own ISP, while the Snow Leopard user is on a university network and presumably behind the university firewall.
Thanks

Have you turned on File Sharing in Sytem Prefs in all computers?

There is AirDrop which comes with Lion. The Snow Leopard machines would need a hack but it can be made to work on any Mac with an Airport card.
Also there is a 3rd party app called DropCopy in the App Store. It is free and I use it with no problems.

How can I connect iCloud with iCal (Snow Leopard)?

There are some hacks to using iCloud with Snow Leopard. One of the keys is you must use iCloud as your primary source for Contacts and Calendars. That is, when you want to make additions or changes to either your calendar or contacts you really MUST do it from the web interface to iCloud. Otherwise you may wind up with duplicates.

How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?

Goal
- I am trying to share both my PC and Mac through my Apple TV2 on the "Computers" home sharing menu.
- These are 2 seperate iTunes accounts as they are 2 different owners of the PC and Macbook.
- However, home sharing only allows me to have one at a time, can I not have 2 computers connected?
(The menu is in fact plural and says "Computers" not "Computer")
Attempt
-I turn on home sharing on my PC with my PC iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as PC
-I turn on home sharing on my Mac with my Mac iTunes account, it then shows up on the "Computers" list as Mac, but it deletes the PC share
Troubleshoot
-So I started from scatch and connected the PC share with my PC itunes account, it shows up,
-Then I connect the Mac home sharing with the same iTunes login as my PC, but it also erases my PC from the "Computers" list and just displays the Mac.
Question
-How do I connect both a Mac and PC to Apple TV Home Sharing?
-I want them both to show up in the "Computers" list.
-So the final result will look like this on my Apple TV menu:
Computers
-PC
-Mac
whew... I'm out of breath... I hope there is an Apple Genius out there that can help.
Thanks!

After retrying the home share with the SAME ITUNES ACCOUNT ON HOME SHARING I finally got it to work.

how can i connect my 2008 mac book pro to a tv?

The Mini-DVI to DVI adapter is designed for the iMac (Intel Core Duo), MacBook, and 12-inch PowerBook G4 — allowing you to connect to an external DVI monitor. It can also be used in combination with the Apple DVI to ADC adapter to support older Apple flat panel Studio or Cinema Displays.

How do i connect my new mac mini to the thunderbolt display

how do i connect my new mac mini to the thunderbolt displa, It arrives tomorrow?

It has a built-in Thunderbolt cable, see here: http://www.apple.com/displays/specs.html
So assuming your mini has a thunderbolt port (you said it's new so I assume it does), you'd just plug the display's thunderbolt cable into the mini's Thunderbolt port.

Composite is analogue with one connector. That is why it is called composite
Component is analogue with three connections. I think one for each color
Here is the one for component. I misread composite for component

How to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

how to set adobe acrobat 9 pro as pdf default program on mac snow leopard OS?

I say to highlight more than one if you can because if the PDF you highlight was made by using Acrobat, it will change all PDF's made by Acrobat but if you have one made by some other product, it may not change them to open with Acrobat.
So in other words, at some point you may have to do it to a PDF made by some other product.

How to fix bookmark icons from reappearing in new browser windows despite having bookmark deiconizer enabled (Mac Snow Leopard/Firefox 20.0).

Ever since Firefox upgraded to 20.0, my enabled deiconizer doesn't work when I open a new browser window. Using Mac/Snow Leopard.
I want those bookmark toolbar icons to disappear permanently! They are nothing but clutter.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think my next move is to contact Mozilla/FireFox to complain about this change and see if it can be fixed. If not, then I'll probably just switch to Safari. I lose patience with companies/programmers who do things like this. When I had programmers reporting to me (before I retired a few years ago), I would never let them get away with this sort of nonsense. User flexibility was a requirement.

How can i reinstall os one Imac Snow leopard 10,6,4

i have to reinstall my i-mac, snow leopard OS. the problem i have is that the mac dont takes the install cd, no matter what i try. the only thing what happens is that i can see the apple and i can hear that its working, but the cd becomes throw out after some seconds. im not able to start it at all, no matter what i do. after i let run the hardware-test i get the message that nothing is wrong, but still i can not install or start the mac. i have no idea what i should do or how i should do it. it was now 2 times in a service, the only thing i was told that everything is ok and i only have to reinstall it....i try my best, but it still will not do anything!! also the company info-care norge which has the mac-service tells me only to install all new and that it has nothing to do with my guaranty.

Report the company to AppleCare directly:
http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
Obviously they don't know some basic troubleshooting steps and need to either lose their service provider agreement or get better training.
Some of those basic steps are to:
1. Determine if your machine is too new to use the 10.6.3 retail, and then determine if you were using the prebundled disc that came with your Mac. Look at your Mac's serial number. The 5 alphanumeric characters that start it tell you how new it is.
xx013 or greater to xx111 can't use anything other than the prebundled discs.
xx935 to xx952 and xx001 to xx012 can use the 10.6.3 retail and prebundled discs that came with the Mac.
xx602 to xx934 can use any Snow Leopard retail and the prebundled discs, as long as 1 GB of RAM or more is installed.
xx601 and less can't use Snow Leopard at all.
Retail discs must look like * and not say Upgrade Dropin, or OEM.
x can be any letter or number.
2. Make sure the Mac is less than 4 years old. If it is more than 4 years old, to check if the PRAM battery is aging.
3. Determine if any of their discs that meet qualifications of #1 work. If they do, then ask Apple ship you replacement discs. If they don't, they should test an external optical bootable DVD drive to see if that works. And if that doesn't work to determine if the machine is stuck in a firmware upgrade loop, or firmware password reset loop, or if the hard drive is dying, or if one of your connected peripherals might not be compatible with the installer.

How Come the iMac Can't Boot Snow Leopard DVDs Anymore Under Lion and ML?

Hi. I'm using ML as my main OS but I noticed when after installing Mountain Lion it doesn't recognize and just ejects the Snow Leopard DVD installers that came with my Mac (you could boot to it when the iMac had Snow Leopard). It doesn't see it as bootable anymore (it doesn't appear as bootable when you boot then press option nor does Startup in System Preferences see it as bootable. The DVD's are in good condition coz' it's not used that often):
Windows 7 Ultimate & Windows 8 Release Preview installer on a DVD-RW which is sees as blank (but it works find on a PC).
Only Snow Leopard that's in a USB (not sure how they made that but it was made for me by Apple repair center). I did back the SL DVDs years ago as .cdr (Master). I'm not sure if the .cdr images of the original SL DVDs can be burned into dual layer DVDs and work like the original (how do you go about that? Do you just burn .cdr like you would with .iso or .dmg?)
I think the hidden recovery partition starting with Lion is actually preventing DVDs from SL to lower versions from being recognized as bootable. Same with bootable Windows DVD-RW as Apple and the rest of the industry (I noticed netbooks now have recovery partitions too) switch to hidden partition and USB installers instead of medias like DVDs and CDs. I would guess if you could install Snow Leopard using an SL USB installer and complete erase the main hardisk along with the hidden recovery partition, install Snow Leopard it'll recognize Windows burned in DVD-RW again.
I can't install Bootcamp coz' it sees Windows 7 & 8 installers as blank drives, even Windows USB installers are not bootable (both USB and DVD-RW installers work fine on the PC). I'm thinking of disabling the iMac's Superdrive by moving in a folder or renaming its driver/extension IOSDVDStorageFamily.kext maybe tomorrow so hopefully when BootCamp sees that the iMac doesn't have an optical drive it'll show the Create USB Installer option (now it only show 2 options) so that it'll create the installers into the Flash drive.
I'm anxious of booting the USB Snow Leopard Installer and erasing the drive completely along with ML's recovery partition then installing SL in the hardisk because my Time Machine backup could get messed up. It might not restore the ones backedup by Lion and ML, although I could manually copy paste the documents but that'll defeat the main purpose of having a Time Machine backup.
Has anyone experienced this too with their Snow Leopard DVDs and Windows USB installers? Any solutions?
Thank you in advance.
God bless.

Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

I just installed Mountain Lion on my iMac that was previously running Snow Leopard. Bugt I found that some key applications no longer work, so I would like to go back to snow Leopard. I can't use time machine backups for this. what can I do?

I just installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. But In was dismayed to find that my Canon scanner software (Canoscan LIDE500F)no longer works. Nor do any of my MS offce applications. I tried to use time machine to reinstall Snow Leopard (my previous operating system), but unfortunately my time machine backups did not include system software. Also, the original system install disk that came with my iMac would not allow me to install Snow Leopard in place of Mountain Lion. I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me how to solve this problem.

The reason your Office doesn't work is because it is PowerPC code. If you will upgrade the 2004 Office to 2011 Office then that will work.
I don't understand how you managed to get your Time Machine backup to not backup the system.
Now if you still what to downgrade you will have to erase the disk and reinstall Snow Leopard. Most likely all of your application and then restore your data from Time Machine.
To me it sounds like it would be easier to upgrade your software and stay with Mountain Lion instead.
