Can I access work's windows network from home mac?

Can I use my Mac G4 running OS X Tiger to remote connect to my work pc running XP?

Theoretically, yes. However, this depends on how your firm has set up its network. For example, if they have implemented a VPN. You should contact your network administrator to discuss the issue. Some companies prohibit such access for security reasons.
Good luck!

Connecting to windows networks from a mac

I have a G5 with airport card installed which is connected via ethernet to an airport express, and there are several wireless networks provided by my school nearby which I am unable to connect to through either my card or the express. Meanwhile, my friend has a windows laptop (which I'm typing on now) that is able to access these networks correctly, and detects them automatically. Is there any way I can configure my G5 to connect to these? I've tried connecting to the networks in question manually (there's no password), but am unable to do so, as it gives me a generic error 'there was an error joining the Airport network "<network name>".' Is there a specific configuration issue that's preventing me from accessing the networks, or are they only accessable from Windows computers?

The cable connects my computer to my airport express, which I've used in the past to extend my range (especially at home). However, even with the cable disconnected and the express unplugged I am still unable to connect to the school network. Any other thoughts?

Are you talking about an iCloud backup? If so, no, an iCloud backup cannot be viewd, it can only be restored to another iOS device.

Accessing my windows pc from home on my Mac pro

Hi,
I have a new mac pro and have worked out how to connect to works VPN. However I am now stuck. I want to be able to access my work pc (windows) from home (mac). I know how to do this using windows to windows, but would be grateful to know how to do this from a my mac at home to windows pc at work via the vpn.
When I say access my work PC, I mean I would like to be able to have a window on my home mac that shows my work desktop and then access files, applications etc as if I was sitting in front of it in the office.
Many thanks in advance.

Fantastic! many thanks for the info. Im so close I can almost smell it
I am connected to the works vpn and have entered my works computer name in RDC, however when I click connect I get the "the client could not connect to the computer". I have read some destructions regarding putting the domain name in after the computer name etc. However I have no domain name, just a work server address. I have even tried adding the vpn on demand domains to see if that helps but it doesnt. Have I missed something? Is there another step I need to do as its via a vpn?
Many thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Can I update free to Windows 10 from my Aspire ZC-102 All in One desktop from Windows 8.1?

Can I update free to Windows 10 from my Aspire ZC-102 All in One desktop from Windows 8.1?I bought my ACER with Windows 8 on it a year ago thru HSN. Then I upgraded to 8.1 using the Store thing on the computer. I've not been a fan of 8 or 8.1. I'm told that Windows 10 comes out on Friday and that upgrades are free somehow. Maybe that's thru doing the beta testing that I've read about. I don't know. But I'm not in very good shape financially and my computer's operating system is going nuts on me so an upgrade would probably fix things pretty well.
I'd tried to do a Repair Install of 8.1 but was somehow told that since I'd upgraded from 8, a Repair Install couldn't be done thru the Control Panel. I'm clueless and I'm hurting. Can I have some help please?

Thanks. I see that white icon down by the clock that hovered says GET WINDOWS 10. So even though I downloaded Windows 10 yesterday and burned it into being a bootable DVD, I went ahead and just Reserved My Upgrade since the DVD hasn't been cooperating.When I stuck it in and hit any key as the ACER started, it brought me to a screen that I couldn't figure out what to do on. I was clueless and I didn't want to cause myself any grief by just trying anything. I did just backup my28+ GB of Photos, Docs, Desktop, Downloads & Music.
But I don't want to accidentally do a clean install, which I've done before on my XP Tablet pc and that sure isn't any fun for a novice like me.
I only use Office 2013 and an old Paint Shop Pro 6.0 which is really old and isn't their newer v6 so it has to run in Compatibility Mode in 8.1. I'm not an APP guy either. I do use OmniPass software for passwords so I can Save and Restore them if needed, so I had to buy a 64 bit version of that to run on this ACER.
So I guess my next step is to just wait for a Notification from Microsoft that I can now switch to 10 which I think it said will just download so my DVD won't even be needed for anything but as a repair tool.That icon you told me about brought up a screen and on it it said that it found my PC to be compatible with Windows 10. So does that mean that drivers and everything ACER will work as they should or will I need to get anything off the ACER site to make my PC work with Windows 10?

Get info then check permissions then add your curent user name (it was probably different on old Mac) and give your username full read/write permissions.

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

What a crappy design. This is where Android is so much better. It seems to me like you have no control over your iPhone. It does whatever Apple has designed it to do without asking you first. On Android you can actually go in see all folders, document files, photo files etc and you have so much more control of everything. Apple s..cks!
