Accede to windows from mac, out of home....

Well!, I need to use some programs from windows in mac, but i don't want to make a partition with boot camp or use parallels desktop, so I decided to install remote desktop. I have a router in my home so i connect the pc and the mac to the same network. When i accede from my house i can connect with the remote desktop and i watch my pc on the mac, but... When i try to accede from the university i just can't do it... Please i need help...

Are you referring to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's product (which you have to purchase) for managing network Mac systems? Or are you referring to Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection Client for Mac? If you're referring to Microsoft's product, you probably should take this up in Microsoft's own forum. Most likely you either need to open and forward the port(s) Microsoft's software uses in your router, or your university is blocking the port(s).
If you're indeed using Apple Remote Desktop, you need to install, or have installed, a VNC client on your Windows system. Then, again, you need to have the appropriate port (usually 5900) open and forwarded in your router and it will need to be open in your university's firewall as well.

Encoding for Premiere in Windows from Mac FCP

Hi,
I'm a Final Cut Pro user. I have a client who sent us a drive with the complaint that "they can't read or copy the files" onto their Windows computer with Premiere CS6 installed. The problem as I see it is twofold: one, it's a Mac-formatted drive; and two, the files are Quicktime ProRes and XDCam-EX videos. These came from a third-party shooter, BTW.
I'm trying to find an easy solution that will let me return the drive to the client as something they can plug in and work with. I figure I'll pull the files off, reformat the drive as NTFS, and dump back. Here's the thing: I understand that it's possible to edit in ProRes and in XDCam-EX in Premiere, in Windows...but I have little confidence that the client will be able to figure out how to do it. I can convert these files - just need to know what to convert to, to make it easy. They are 1080i at 29.97 fps.   What's a good format that lets a Premiere user basically plug-and-edit...? Or am I off-base, and it will be easy for my client to grab and use these files?
Any help appreciated!
Thanks,
Jesse

To easily move HDDs between Windows and Mac, use ExFat instead of NTFS. It's supported by both OSs and can use large files (unlike FAT32).
Installing the ProRes codec (read only) on Windows is trivial. Install Quicktime and you are done. However, lots ofpeople here will pour scorn on using *anything* encoded in a Quicktime wrapper because it's (currently) a 32 bit platform so is perhaps not running as fast as the native 64 bit codecs.
Personally, I use ProRes quite happily on both Windows and Mac.    Another alternative is Avid's DNxHD (free download for both Mac & Windows).

Restart in Windows from Mac OS X

In Windows, in the bottom right of the screen when you first start up, there is a little boot camp icon. When you click it, it gives you the option to restart in Mac OS X. Something like this is needed in Mac OS X, except to offer starting up in Windows. Normally, I would have to click on the Apple in the top left corner of the screen, click "Restart...", then a box shows up offering "Restart" or "Cancel". Here would be the perfect place to offer the option of restarting in Windows. Either that, or something optional in the menu bar (like Time Machine).
My question is: Is there any simple way to restart from Mac OS X into Windows without the minor inconvenience of waiting at the computer while everything closes and shuts down then holding the Option key?

There is a simple way of doing what you want. Go to: http://www.kainjow.com/ and download Bootchamp.
Blurb from website: BootChamp is a small utility that when launched, will boot your computer into your Windows partition. It requires authentication in order to properly set your Windows partition as the startup disk.
How is this different than selecting your Windows volume from within Startup Disk in System Preferences? Well, using Startup Disk actually changes your startup disk permanently so that each time you restart, it boots into whatever you have selected. Essentially what my program is doing is what happens when you hold down Option at startup and select Windows. However, the app only requires a click to launch and your admin password, and then it restarts your computer into Windows without further input from you. It will not actually change your startup disk.

Transfer Windows from Mac to Mac

Just upgraded my macbook pro to a new model and trying to copy Parallels and windows to new mac? Parallels transporter agent not working for me. Can I install from Time Machine backup?

Unless you've set the Parallels drive to be backed-up, it usually excludes itself from normal a Time Machine backup. Check in ~/Documents>Parallels to see if the Parallels is backed up to your TM drive.

Control Office G5 from Mac Book at home?

Assuming that I leave my G5 2x2 at my office powered on and connected online via my LAN, is there a way to view/copy files I need, maybe even load program files so they're ready when I walk into my office from home on my mac book?
The G5 is on 10.4.9, mac book is 10.4.10

Hello Nathan,
Do you have an IT dept. at your job. If so you can ask them to open up a network port for file sharing at work. You will need the outside Network IP address, or you can sign up for a DNS service.
With the port open you would be able to send data files to your work computer.

How to switch to windows from Mac?

I purchased my first Mac today, the MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion. It is primarily for school, and need to be able to switch to Windows for certain classes. How do I go about purchasing/Downloading the right program?
Thank you!
firsttimemac

Ha. I thought you wanted to switch computers from using a Mac to using Windows.
Well you have two choices and you can use both:
Easy and more secure, but not as powerful : Virtual Machine Software - runs Windows in OS X itself.
Less easy and secure, but full hardware capability: Apple's BootCamp - direct boot into Windows itself.
BootCamp for 3D games / 3D or high CPU needs - Virtual Machine software for everything else - web to email, word processing, malware control etc.
Virtual machine software uses "Snapshots" so it's a cinch to eliminate malware off your virtual machine, just transfer any latest files to a USB thumb drive and click a button, a few seconds you just skipped back to a clean verison.
Windows 7 can be downloaded from Microsoft's web site.
Here is the pro's and con's of each and your choices + links.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?

Present movie on Windows from Mac

I am making a QT on my Mac and I applied the applescript so that when it opens it plays in present mode and shuts off later. My question is since I am doing all this on a Mac will the QT do the same thing when played on a Windows machine?
v

The "Presentation" droplets edit the movie playback on both Mac and PC's. This property "travels" with the file.
In version 7 of QuickTime it is now part of the Movie Properties window so no AppleScripts are required.
It allows you to set the "full screen" and automatically play, close or quit the QT Player.

How to boot to Windows XP from Mac Desktop

Hi
I have just installed Lepard/BootCamp/Windows XP and am wondering how to get to Windows from Mac when I'm logged on to Mac. I can access it via System Preferences but end up resetting my start up preferences to Windows in order to reboot from there. When I installed Windows it put a folder on my Mac Desktop that has the windows info -- does anyone know how to quickly reboot to Windows? On the XP side, there is a boot camp icon in system tray that allows you to choose to boot over to Mac from there. But not on the Mac side. Apple Tech Support told me there must be an easier way than going through the Sys Pref startup options but he was unable to find it. Suggested I try here. Any hep appreciated!

I know about the Option key ... when I power on the computer and hold that down, it gives me the option to choose one OS or the other, instead of going to the one I've set in Sys Pref startup ...
My question is when I have the Mac OS running and want to go to Windows ... the only way I seem to be able to do it is go back into Sys Pref and change the startup OS to windows. It will then give me the option to restart and go there right now, which will get me into Windows but at the cost of resetting the preferred startup OS.
On the Windows side there is the option to set the start up OS as well, so maybe that's the key? I wondered why you would need to set it on both sides, or have the ability. Maybe that's it! There has to be a better way to go from Mac to Windows than via the Sys Pref option.

Mapping fonts from Mac to Windows in CS4

What is the most efficient process to map fonts in multiple documents opened from Mac to Windows?
Currently we are working on 600+ documents that we need to convert to Windows from Mac. Every time we open a new document, the missing fonts dialog comes up. We replace the fonts. However, it appears there's no provision to automatically do this for every new opened document without manually going through this process each time!
Couldn't find any reference to this issue in Help, KB, forum. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

OK guys, here's where we are now: apparently there's no way to batch process multiple documents without going each time through the "missing fonts" dialog. However, we were able to make this process as short as possible by using "load character styles" for each document when opened.
And it's possible to do this across the network.
Going through "load character styles" and synchronizing two documents [the saved one and the latest opened one], we are able to at least map the fonts consistently from doc to doc. This operation is still time consuming, especially considering the large number of docs we have to process.
I'm going to look into the scripting option if there's a way to automate this process.
The same synchronization process could be done by using the "book" option. But that involves again manually adding documents to the book one-by-one.

Start Windows in Mac OS X

Is it possible to restart in windows from mac os x using boot camp? just like when you restart to mac os x while in windows.

*"Is it possible to restart in windows from mac os x using boot camp?"*
Yes. Of course. Otherwise, how would you be able to use Windows if you can't startup the computer into it?

Cannot open one site I used to be able to open from Mac

Cannot open www.capps-mi.org from mac computer at home. Opens elsewhere from PCs. Cannot open through other browsers either.

I have unistalled adobe and then reinstalled as a first measure, but that did not work. So i decided to use my back up (yes it is a good thing i have a back up system) so I am sorry, but i had to go on,. took me some time and i also had to find and save work between the date of the virus and the back up, but after some work it is all fine now.
In other words the files were corrupted by the virus. I checked my trash, but i did not put any corrupted files in the trash, i just put my my back up over a large portion on my disk (luckily i have a partitioned disk, and teh kind og work i use pdf for is a separate part) . I checked older pdf's i know were corrupted in my folders, andi got through email. They were ok in my email (outlook 2007). So i will not be able to get u corrupted files sorry
