Can't send cntrl-alt-delete to start PC remotely via Mac

I am using Symantec PC Anywhere software and even when I try the Mac equivalent of cntl-alt-delete the PC I am trying to connect to doesn't recognize the command. (Once I am in, the connection works fine). Any suggestions? Is there a better program out there to connect to a PC remotely via Mac?

Are you running Windows on the Mac (via Boot Camp, or Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion) or is pcAnywhere CrossPlatform Remote (or something similar) used under Mac OS X?
the Mac equivalent of cntl-alt-delete
Just guessing here (I do not know whether the command in question will work at all when used via said remote control program). Would it be correct to assume that you have noticed the difference between the delete keys on a PC and a Mac (the delete key on a Mac is the same as backspace on a PC). You may want to have a look at this article (and perhaps this one).

When working under Mac OS X, could something like this (or maybe one of the programs here) possibly be of interest?

Every page hangs with Firefox 8, there is often no exit, and if there is, clicking on it does nothing. I have to use cntrl, alt, delete to shut down every single time I use Firefox 8.

I couldn't even open Firefox for hours, then realized there was an update to 8. Once updated, the horrors began. I can't exit a single page with Firefox 8. Every page hangs. I have used cntrl, alt, delete like never before. I disabled the container.exe plug in for Firefox, and still have problems. There is no menu bar, there is often not even an exit button, but when there is, it doesn't work. These problems must be fixed, or I'll never use Firefox again.

See "Hang at exit":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
See "Firefox hangs when you quit it":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

HT201628 I tried following the steps in this article. When I attempt to delete iTunes, it says "iTunes" can't be modified or deleted because it's required by Mac OS X. What other steps could I take to get my MacBook Air to recognize my iphone again?

I tried following the steps in this article. When I attempt to delete iTunes, it says “iTunes” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X. What other steps could I take to get my MacBook Air to recognize my iphone again? Neither iTunes nor iPhoto recognize my phone any longer.

iTunes can't be deleted because it comes with OS X. In order to delete it, open Terminal and copy:
sudo rm /Applications/iTunes.app
This will remove iTunes, so then you can reinstall iTunes

Why has my 3G stopped working on my iphone? It is enabled, and I never had problems with it before, but for about 2 months now it has refused to work and as a result I can't send any attachments such as photos or videos via text.

Cellular data is a feature from your phone carrier. Have you contacted them to resolve your issue.

"iCal" can't be modified or deleted because it's required by Mac OS X.

I have tried to restore a previous version of iCal from a time capsule back up, but keep getting the error message
“iCal” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X. can anyone help?

Ah - you mean your calendars rather than the iCal application. It's no good trying to restore the application: the iCal calendars are held in (user)/Library/Calendars and you would need to restore the earlier version of that from a backup such as Time Machine.
Even if you able to do this, syncing will just remove the deleted items again. Are you syncing with MobileMe? - please see this page:

TM error: can't be modified or deleted because it's required by Mac OS X.

I found the TM didn't restore 2 folders which are most important after I reinstall my OS.
namely, the "applications" and "user" folders.
which appeared the "xxxx" can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X error message.
therefore, all my past applications are not restored after the reinstallation.
what happened?

it's strange that those things were not transferred in the first place. they should have. this might indicated that there is a problem with your backup. when you are attempting to restore applications by hand don't restore the whole Applications folder. the message you got indicates that this is what you were doing. restore only the apps themselves. also, you can do it ONLY with applications that were installed by drag and drop into the Applications folder. if an application was installed using an installer you can not restore it this way and should reinstall it from scratch.
what exactly in the user folder are you trying to restore? some folders in your home directory are protected by deny delete ACLs and can not be restored like this. this includes your whole home directory, and all the default folders on it's top level. but you can restore files and folders inside those and any files and folders you created yourself.

"Safari" can't be modified or deleted because it's required by Mac OS X.

Trying to delete Safari I get the message “Safari” can’t be modified or deleted because it’s required by Mac OS X.
Trying to delete through Utilities/Terminal using "sudo rm -rf Safari.app" didn't work as Terminal
froze at the typing in of Password stage.

But I want to use Safari; I have Safari 7.0.4 in Applications which is incompatible with my 10.8.5 system.
Carolyn Samit recommended trashing one copy of Safari so I could use the other (6.0.3) which I have (from a back-up)
If I try to use the 6.0.3 on my desktop it says Safari can't open because of a problem.

There's a workaround. iTunes Gift Cards can be redeemed at the Mac App Store.

I am working on a windows based program thru Chrome on my Mac. It asked me to cont/alt/delete - how do I get the Mac to respond?

I am working on a windows based program thru chrome on my mac - how do I control/alt/delete on the mac?

Control key - Alt (also known as the Option key) and Delete key. However remember Chrome is not an Apple product so if that doesn't work you also might want to seek help on a Google forum that supports Chrome.

I can't send anything over 1024 bytes by using visa via TCPIP

I am trying to use NI-VISA talk to instruments visa TCPIP. The problem is I can not send anything over 1024 bytes using viPrintf or viBufWrite call. A time out will be returned. I tried to use MAX to open a VISA session for my TCPIP device. If I put a string less than 1024 bytes in write buffer, it is fine. Anything longer than that will cause time out and some time the whole MAX crash.

Hi Johnma,
I suggest you check the specs on TCP/IP. I seem to remember a limit on the packet size. TCP is just the transport layer. Higher layers should handle the work of breaking packets into smaller sizes and tracking packet sequencing.
I am relying on memory hear so please verify. (maybe the limit was 4096 and I am full of it).
I also believe there was some discusion of a related topic recently on info-labview where Rolf did a good job explaining what was happening.

How to send STRG+ALT+DELETE throug ARD to a Win 2000 Server

Hello,
Just stuck, how do I send STRGALTDELETE through ARD via VNC-connection to a Win 2000 Server?
Had to restart the machine, but cannot log in now. Thanks for your help.
Jochen

same basic answer, but I'd recommend JollysfastVNC if you go the VNC route:
http://www.jinx.de/JollysFastVNC.html
Or CoRD instead of Microsoft's RDC for Mac
http://cord.sourceforge.net/
The CoRD/RDC is the route I'd go, by the way, since it works very well. It's one thing MS has included with Windows which Apple should have years ago.

If that is possible would i be able to access these items after they are recived.
Thanks.
Any info is apreciated.
Glee_loveer

No, currently you can only gift items to people whose account is based in the same country as yourself - it will appear to go through, but they won't be able to redeem it
