Connect to Mac from iPhone?

There seems to be quite a few programs/services for Windows users to connect to their desktop PC from their iPhone, but I'm yet to see similar for the Mac. The Google 'telekinesis' project seems to be the only one. Are there any solutions further advanced (in terms of development) than that? What about using Apple's Remote Desktop?

Yes, it does, but the application is a native Windows app, so it must be run under boot camp/parallels/fusion.

  • Connect to Mac from Windows Vista issue

    Hi I want to view some files that are on my Mac from my PC (Windows Vista). Here's what I did so far: On my Mac I enabled file sharing, I selected the folders that I want to share.
    Now here's the part that confuses me, it asks me to add the users to share the folder with. but do I enter the username and password for my mac or is it the username and password for my PC? What I did was add all the accounts that are on my mac.
    I then went on my PC, clicked on network, I can see the mac computer, I can also see my username and folder, I click on it, I then see the drop box but when I click on it I get a network error message that says "Windows cannot access Users public folder drop box".
    I don't know what setting I need to enable since I'm very new to this. I can access the files that are on my PC from my Mac just fine. but I can't access the files that are on my Mac from my PC. Do I need to create a new mac account?
    I also noticed that when I click on the mac computer from my PC in Network, it doesn't ask me to enter a username and password, could that be the reason I can't connect? Please help.

    The user names and passwords are the same on both systems. That is not the issue.
    The issue is that each user can only connect to the mac from their windows system when they physically log on as user at the mac.
    Otherwise it will not even show up in their network neighborhood.
    If I boot up the mac and log in as the user, I can connect to the mac from my windows system but the other two users can't.
    Likewise if one of them logs in as the user on the mac, I cannot connect to it from my windows system.

  • Connect to Mac from Windows

    I have three Windows systems and one Mac.
    Currently, to connect to my Mac (OSX Tiger) from Windows I have to be logged into the Mac as that user on the Windows machine.
    I have three users that access the Mac. All are setup on the Mac as users. All are setup on the Windows systems as users.
    But if John logs into the Mac and Betty tries to access the Mac from her computer she cannot. If John tries to access the Mac from his Windows system he can.
    Does anyone know how to setup the Mac so that any of the three users can connect to it from Windows regardless of who is logged in?
    I tried to set the group to staff for all the users public folders but that did not help.

  • I am trying to download photos to mac from iphone 4s and keep getting message (unreadable files:315) which I say (OK).  Then it throws me out of downloading.  What can I do to get my photos downloaded to Mac?

    Trying to download photos from iphone 4S to a MacBook Pro.  The process keeps getting interrupted/stopped with a notice (unreadable files:315).  When I click (OK), thinking it will download all other photos other than the 315, it stops downloading.  I did this thru Image Capture and also Import Photos in iPhotos.  Both did not work.  What can I do?

    Try:
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another USB port
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    If still problem then it appears the photo files on the iPod are corrupted or you have a hardware problem with the iPod

  • Import "Events from Mac" onto Mac from iPhone

    I recently lost all of the data on my Mac due to a faulty backup. At the moment I am trying to transfer photos from my iPhone to my computer, but can only import a small portion of them, excluding the "events from Mac" folder. How can I import these photos into my library? I can access all of them on my phone, but none are present when I connect to my Mac.
    Thanks

    You'll need a thread-party app that can access the photos outside your camera roll.
    iExplorer is one such app, but there are others. Search on MacUpdate
    Be aware that the photos will likely be reduced in size.

  • After interrupting iPhotos import to mac from iPhone, it is not allowing me to shut down computer as it says 'Importing photos from library' i also cannot import photos from phone! Please help, VERY frustrating. Thanks.

    After recently purchasing a mac i decided to upload my photos from my iPhone to iPhoto. I accidentally disconnected the charger and now whenever i click 'import photos' it tells me that iPhoto is 'importing photos to library' which i can tell you it is not. because the phone is not connected and it has been doing it for days now.i tried to force quit and it hasn't work. It won't let me shut the computer down now either as it thinks it is currently importing something so i have to wait for the computers battery to die which is ridiculous. Becoming increasingly frustrated with this problem and not sure where else to turn. Please help. Thanks, Neil.

    If the  ➙ Force Quit method won't let you shutdown iPhoto try this command in the Terminal:
    killall iPhoto
    followed by the Return or Enter key
    It might take more than one go for it to take.
    Failing that close all other applications and hold the power button down until the computer shuts down.  Reboot and try iPhoto again.

  • After upgrade can no longer connect to Mac from Windows

    I have a wireless network (Linksys) with 2 iMacs, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP workstations. I have file sharing between the Windows and Mac computers. After upgrading I can no longer see the shared folders on the upgraded iMac from the Windows box. I cannot even ping the iMac by node name, but I can ping it by IP address so it is recognizable on the network. I cannot connect by IP address, however.
    I have file and printer sharing enabled on the Leopard iMac. What can I do to restore the former connection?

    Thank you! That partially solved the problem. I can now see the Leopard Mac and can open my user folder on it. However, the subfolders give an error saying they are not accessible - permission denied. I have gone through the folders and set all of them to Shared, but this did not make them accessible.

  • When importing  to mac from iPhone, my photos are doubling.  Does this have to do with my photo stream?  How do I stop it?

    To import photos from my iPhone, I plug it into my MacBook Pro's iPhoto program.  I am now also using iCloud photo sharing.  When I import, my photos are DOUBLED. 
    I'm sure I need to change my settings, but I'm not sure which ones to change.  In my Phone?  In my iPhoto Preferences?  Suggestions?

    This is a bug.  Just open the Camera.app on your iPhone before you plug it in and connect it by uSB. That will prevent the Photo Stream photos from showing in the Import panel as well.

  • Accessing Notes on my Mac (from iPhone)

    My iPhone was stolen last night, and I need to get to the Notes that were on the phone.
    Apple customer support just told me there's no way to access the Notes on my iMac, even though they're on the computer in a backup file. They say no way to get to them except buying new iPhone and sync'ing it up.
    Now - this can't be right. In the 1990s I had PalmPilots that sync'd everything to my desktop and all was accessible on desktop.
    Is it true that a company as technically brilliant as Apple in 2009 has made it so that Notes sync up with iMac but cannot be accessed?
    Any ideas anyone? I really need to access those Notes.
    Much as I loved my iPhone, it's way to expensive at this point in the recession to replace it at the prices AT&T gives to existing customers, so I think I'm going to downgrade to cheaper.

    I'm sorry - your comments aren't addressing my question. I'm trying to get to the Notes that were on the iPhone and sync'd up with my iMac. That's all.
    I'm sorry, but yes I did provide information that addresses your question, which I provided at the beginning of my first post in this thread.
    +*Apple does not provide a utility to access notes from your iPhone's backup, but there are 3rd party utilities that do. Here is one.+*

    You're welcome again.
    You didn't post here to discuss prices? The following was copied from your original post, so you certainly fooled me.
    *Much as I loved my iPhone, it's way to expensive at this point in the recession to replace it at the prices AT&T gives to existing customers, so I think I'm going to downgrade to cheaper.*
    Lecture? Good grief. If you don't want to discuss information regarding the price of phones, then don't include anything about price with your post.
    Phones aren't "subsidized" - they're just discounted heavily for new users, which is a slap in the face to existing customers. If you're a customer, you get charged top dollar. Counterintuitive to long-term retention, but whatever.
    FAIL. Phones are "subsidized", which is the term used by cellular providers for the discount they provide for a new phone purchase. Subsidy = Discount with cellular providers. And a subsidy is not provided by cellular providers to new subscribers only. A subsidy is also provided to existing subscribers who qualify for upgrade or subsidized pricing on a new phone - those subscribers who have fulfilled their contract term for a subsidy provided with an existing phone.
    I couldn't care less if you purchase another iPhone. You've got issues.

  • Can I transfer email accounts back to my MAC from Iphone?

    I posted this question in the MAC mail section of the discussion forums but got no response. Thought I would try here.
    Two days ago my Macbook Pro HDD died:(
    I took it into apple and they replaced it. I had LOADS of stuff backed up but somethings I did not. Such as all my email accounts and their respective settings and passwords. However- they are on my iphone. I was able to transfer all my contacts from my iphone to my computer but I cannot seem to figure out how to transfer email accounts. Is it possible? How do you do it?
    Thanks!

    Shoot. Thanks DaVbMan

  • Can no longer send email from my pop accounts or my .mac from iPhone

    My phone won't send any email anymore. In fact, when I compose a message and hit send it just disappears. No record of it anywhere.
    All my mail accounts used to work perfectly! I've checked all my settings and have tried from both wifi and the ATT Edge network. Neither works.
    This is ridiculous.

    First,
    I'd run all availiable software updates. After that, I would try removing all of the accounts from "Mail", and then re-adding them. Be aware that if your folders and such are located on your mac, and not on the mail servers, you may risk lose some information (always have a back-up).
    Sometimes, when you have a number of e-mail account there can be server issues abound. I would go into the server lists and make sure that they are set properly. If you see the "use only this server" box, check it for each of them.
