Connection from Windows PC to Mac os X (snow leopard)

Hello,
I have remote mac which is running almost still , i'm using ssh for remote control but sometimes i need to do something in graphic mode.
Is there any easy way to control remote GUI of mac?I used long time NX nomachine server on linux but unfortunately it is not support mac.
Is there any Apple Remote Desktop client for windows?
Thanks

I'm just wondering that there is no official way to work with mac remotely from different platform with gui.
If by "official" you mean "developed by Apple" for controlling a Macintosh from a Windows computer then no, there isn't. Apple cannot develop every possible application or utility that someone might need, particularly for Windows systems, which Apple doesn't make. But just because Apple doesn't release such a product doesn't mean that the available solutions don't work and work well. VNC works just fine for many thousands of users (and is in fact the protocol that Apple Remote Desktop uses for it's observe and control function).
This sounds for me little like behave which has mainly MS, seams that ignorance flows also trough Apple company, little bit disapointed but what can i do.... only using VNC.
Apple is not "ignorant" in this matter. They just can't be all things to all people. That's why there are thousands of independent developers producing software, to provide for those needs that the major companies cannot find a business case to justify doing on their own.

  • Migration from Windows Small Business Server 2003 to Snow Leopard Server

    Hello,
    I'm going to migrate a Windows Small Business Server 2003 Standard to a Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server 10.6.x in a few weeks.
    I have 2 questions :
    Is there an official process to migrate my Exchange server datas ?
    Snow Leopard Server has it Wizards to help me to muigrate datas to proper services ?
    Thanx
    Regards,
    Gil DERENNE aka --( dB )--

    Thank you for your reply
    My network will be Apple only in a few time (1 server, 1 iMac and 1 Mac Pro).
    Now, I want to replace server and all services installed on it :
    - Active Directory (replaced by Open Directory)
    - Users/Groups/machines
    - NAT/Firewall and Backup (will be replaced by a Time Capsule)
    - VPN for mobile access
    - File and Printer sharing
    - Fax Services with Fax/Modem 56K !oops! (replaced by a free service offer by my ISP)
    - Mail/Calendar/Address book and notes with Exchange (replaced by each service to serv right thing : Mail, iCal, Address book...).
    I know what to do with all things but not for replacing Exchange and transfer datas to each similar service in Snow Leopard.
    In the network, Mail Server will be used by Outlook with IMAP protocol and other services by web interface (Windows computers are not a problem for me, it can be alone and only access web if necessary).
    The number of clients inside the LAN :
    - 2 iPhones
    - 1 iPod Touch
    - 1 PC Windows Vista (for a few time) with some VM (Linux and Windows)
    - 1 iMac 27' with 1 VM (Windows)
    - 1 LAN Printer HP Deskjet 6127 (RJ45 Static IP connection)
    The number of clients outside the LAN :
    - 3 PC Windows XP
    - 2 PC Windows Vista
    - 5 Nokia Smart Phones
    When I'm going to by the Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard Server, is there some support to help me to do it whith them and is it free or do I have to buy AppleCare to access to this service ?

  • TS5202 Cannot connect to app store in mac os X snow leopard

    Have you checked to see if your machine is capable of running Mavericks?

    The Apple figure of 2GB RAM required is only borderline.  4GB or more would be better.

  • Errors connecting from windows

    i try and connect from windows and it gives me this:
    [2006/10/24 21:39:25, 0] pdbods.c:odssamgetsampwnam(2327)
    odssam_getsampwnam: [0]getsam_recordattributes dsRecTypeStandard:Users no account for 'XXXX'!
    funny thing is, if i connect using ADMIN and enter propper password, it works fine
    it seems windows is trying to autofill the username (that is logged into windows) in the XXX field, and it doesn't match the server's account name.
    thanks in advance!!

    We're having something similar to this where Entourage users are apparently handing off the incorrect user name and password and thereby disabling their Apple user account on our mail/webmail OSX server.
    I don't know how to stop the accounts from being disabled, nor do I know when the user has been automatically disabled by the server. We only know when the customer contacts us (which can't be by email).
    This has already cost us some accounts and business.
    Users who are not Windows or who are not using Entourage are having no problem. Since the problem also happens with Mac Entourage users, it may have more to do with Entourage than Windows.
    Anyone know how to set the authentification of OSX or Entourage to be more friendly?

  • Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine

    Can't Print/Connect from Windows 7 64 bit to Shared PSC 1315 on Windows 7 32bit Machine...
    I tried to install driver on connecting PC, i tried to install printer as Local printer with local port - \\WIN7-32bit\HP PSC 1310 Series\ - and  i got access denied, and before i reinstall Windows on 64Bit machine its worked correctly... anyone know how to solve this problem ?
    *Edited*
    When i connect it on 64 Bit machine printer requesting driver *.inf and not specific file...
    i try to install 64bit driver on 32 bit machine in sharing options and they didn't support it...

    More than likely, you are receiving the access denied error because there may not be a HomeGroup in place.
    To handle networks securely with Windows 7, Microsoft took a different approach.  A HomeGroup essentially creates a trust among all the devices in that home group.  If a device is not in that homegroup, then that system will essentially be denied access.

  • Transition from Windows XP to Mac OS X

    I would like information on how to transition my lightroom library and photos from Windows XP to Mac OS X. I am concerned about maintaining my virtual images as well as library settings.

    And Windows is somehow immune from such problems - I don't think so.

  • Migrating browsing history from Windows 7 to Mac.

    I created a Firefox Profile and synced from Windows 7 to Mac.
    Only a small amount of my browsing history was migrated (from 9 July 2013 onwards).
    There are approximately 47 500 entries going back to September 2010.
    I downloaded the History Export add-on and tried exporting my browsing history in the .html format. Firefox kept crashing and I could not complete this.
    Is there any way to migrate my entire browsing history to my Profile and my Mac?
    Many thanks
