Can I access my windows computer from mu ipad?

am wanting to buy an ipad2, but I have a Windows based computer at home that I take college classes on.  Can I access my home work from my ipad ?

Do you mean seize control remotely? There are a variety of apps that will let you do that - I use Splashtop, which recently rolled out a way to access and control the PC over the Internet. If you just mean copy docs over to your iPad, then also yes - through cloud storage (such as DropBox) or productivity apps such as Goodreader or the many office suite apps.

  • I can't access my university VPN with my iPad or iPhone but I can access it with my Mac. I was wondering if there is a simple way so that I can remotely access my home computer from the iPad, turn on the Mac VPN and then access the school network?

    The iosx and open VPN app on the iPad/phone aren't compatible w my school's VPN, but my Mac is via tunnelblick. I would really like to have VPN access from my tablet so I can access journals without undergoing a tedious process.
    Has anyone encountered this and found a remedy? I'm imagining an app from the tablet that can access the Mac at home to turn on the VPN to the school and then have access.. But then I'm thinking id be reading through 2 screens then formatting/resolution could be a problem.
    Another thought was setting up a VPN at home so that my iPad can connect to my computer at home via VPN which would then allow me easy access to journals. But I'm lacking experience in this, especially a security issue as I'm going from point A to point C to get back to point B.
    I'm open to any suggestions.
    Thanks

    You should be able to use the OpenVPN Connect app running on your iPad to connect your iPad to the VPN directly. It is an official OpenVPN client for iOS devices.
    In what way is it "not compatible"? Have you tried it? Tunnelblick is an OpenVPN client, so your school's VPN is using the OpenVPN protocol. That means any OpenVPN client should be able to access it. (It is possible, but unlikely, that your school uses encryption that is not available on the iPad, but that would be very unusual.)
    Otherwise, a remote control app on your iPad would let you control your Mac at home. "Back to My Mac", for example, would allow you to control your Mac remotely. The tricky part of this is that usually a VPN is set up to send all Internet traffic via the VPN server, and I'm not sure how that would work with "Back to My Mac".

  • I can't access my forms central from my iPad, please help!

    ive been using adobe forms central from my PC for a while now and I love it! But when I'm on the go I take my iPad with me and I can't access from there. why does this happens? And how can I fix it?

    A lot of people have been unable to access Yahoo e-mail on their iPhones or iPads. My wife’s iPad was not downloading Yahoo mail, although her iPhone was. Both used IOS 8.2. We tried deleting the account several times and troubleshooting all of the other settings. The problem appears to have been that allowing the IOS to automatically create the account on the iPad resulted in the wrong settings for the incoming server. The following procedure, pieced together from two websites, fixed the problem for us. So far, so good.
    https://portal.smartertools.com/kb/a2659/configure-imap-for-iphone-or-ipad.aspx
    https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mobile-mail/imap-server-settings-sln4075.html
    On the iPhone, tap Settings.
    Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Tap your Yahoo account, then delete it.
    Tap Add Account.
    Tap Other.
    Tap Add Mail Account.
    Complete the Name, Address (email address), Password and Description fields.
    Click Next.
    Ensure IMAP is selected.
    Enter the following incoming mail server information:
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: imap.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 993
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Hostname is mail.yahoo.com.
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail.
    Enter the following outgoing mail server information:
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - Requires SSL
    Server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
    Port: 465 or 587
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Requires authentication: Yes
    Username is your full email address
    Password is the same password used to access webmail. It may have been entered for you.
    Tap Next.
    The iPhone will establish an SSL connection to your IMAP and SMTP servers.
    That’s all!

  • Can't access to Windows xp from 10.4 G4 digital audio **Troubleshooting**?

    Hello everyone! I have a home wireless network a G4 desktop running 10.4 and I have been trying to shares files with my laptop (windows XP)*(I can access the mac from the windows XP).* I already click on the sharing and i tried this approach *http://www.ifelix.co.uk/tech/3020.html*

    Yes indeed, after a few recent Windows® security patches, connecting from a Mac was slow to impossible, even when it did work, it could take more than 45 minutes for a PC to show up on the Network.
    After installing Bonjour for Windows® and learning to right click on the connection in Windows to access Bonjour, the connection was almost instant.

  • Can't access a Windows PC from my Mac

    Hi ,
    I'm having real problems connecting to my PC from my Mac.
    I'm using a wireless router, both the pc and my macbook are connected wirelessly to the the router. From the PC I can ping the pc, the router, external web addresses, and the mac. From the mac I can ping the mac, the router, external web addresses but not the pc.
    What's really strange is that I can connect to the mac from the pc, transfer files from the pc to the mac, and transfer files from the mac to the pc. However I still can't connect or ping the pc.
    I've tried enabling sharing on the pc, I've got the same "workgroup" for the pc and the mac.
    I've now run out of ideas, does anyone else have any that might help ?

    Hi iFelix,
    Does the PC have an account with a username and a
    password.
    yes the pc does have an account with username and password, and for consistency I made them the same as the mac username and password.
    I'm still not sure why I can't even ping the pc though ?
    I followed your tutorial through, that's when I managed to get the pc to access the mac and transfer files, unfortunately I stll can't see the pc though (Very good tutorial too).
    Thanks

  • Can I access Ext Windows HD from my PB

    Hi
    My past neighbors are moving and gave me their 2 old PC towers to look after and repair if I can.
    None of them start, but they would like to recover some files on them.
    One shows a XP Pro loading screen at some point, and I remember the other is a 98 (DK which version). Apparently one of them is infected by a virus that stopped it working.
    I have put one HD in an enclosure. It shows in DU.
    Volume format is MSDOS (FAT)
    and I can eject. That's about it.
    I tried to verify but says Unrecognised Filesystem.
    Is there an equivalent of MacDrive?
    Thanks

    there is no need for an equivalent of Mac Drive with FAT formatted drives. OS X can read and write to FAT formatted drives without any software. if it doesn't work for you the file system on that drive is likely damaged or the drive is defective. if it's a file system problem it should be fixed from windows. you can try mac data recovery software like Filesalvage or Data rescue II but it costs money and is not guaranteed to work.

  • How can I access my Itunes account from my ipad if it was set up on an old PC I no longer have?

    Several years ago I signed up for an itunes account with my Dell laptop. That laptop no longer works and I have an ipad now that I use for most things. I want to access my old account I set up originally with my PC on my ipad but am not sure how to do it? I can not use the PC to "turn on" the ipad with this account. Is there a way to do this or do I have to set up another account? How do I access the apps etc. that are already on my original account?
    Thanks

    You should be able to log into the account via Settings > Store (if an account is currently logged in then you can tap on it to log out of it), and the content that you bought/downloaded with it which is still in the store, and which is possible to re-download (music, films and tv shows can't be re-downloaded in all countries) should show in the Purchased tabs in the App Store and iTunes store apps. Re-downloading an account's past purchases may tie the iPad to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    All content from iTunes is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so creating a new account won't allow you to access a previous account's downloads.

  • HT2954 How can I access my imac mail from a different computer other than Apple?

    How can i access my imac email from a differnt computer other than
    apple?

    If you are using IMAP mail connection (IMAP keeps the  mail on the server), then you just configure the other computer's mail client to access the same account.
    If you are using a POP mail connection, then the mail is generally downloaded to your Mac and deleted from the server.  That is a much more difficult problem to solve.  NOTE:  Google's gmail does have a POP option that does NOT delete the mail on the server, so it is accessible via the gmail web page.
    A lot depends on what you are using for your mail service and whether you are using IMAP or POP protocols.
