Whoever told you that has no idea what he's talking about. If the idea is that you're going to connect to a remote VNC server, you don't need Remote Desktop for that.

If I remember right there "may" be a problem if you have a proxie settings enabled.
System Preferences/ Network/ Advanced/ Proxies. Can't remember which one or if it was an issue in 10.7 or 10.6. Just make sure their all unchecked and try again.
You might try a search in these forums for more information. Different fix's for different issue's.
Sorry I can't help more.........

Updated my mac to mountain lion 10.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install? Can anyone help me?

updated my mac to mountain lion 10.7.8.3 and now my app store, mail or facetime won't open. Also, I am not longer able to play videos through firefox. I tried downloading the combo for mountain lion and it refuses to install saying that I need to see developer. Whenever I try to open my appstore, mail or facetime it says that the programmes need to be installed and might not be compatible with this version of mac operating system. Can anyone help me?

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

My Mac Hard disk recently broke and was replaced. Now, although my computer is authorised in itunes store, it won't let me re-download purchased items (esp OSX Lion). How can I make computer re-download previous purchases?

Never mind - I didn't realize that I just needed to wait a while for the Cloud stuff to cycle through and load. Solved!

How to authorize other Macs for OSX Lion?

Hello,
My sister bought a refurbished MacBook Pro that came with the former OSX release 10.6 Snow Leopard. I know that I can authorize her Mac to allow the download and installation of OSX Lion. The problem is that she already created a different Apple ID for her, however she does want Lion on her Mac. Is it possible to authorize a Mac that uses a different Apple ID from mine?
Thanks!

Ok... Is that easy?

Need Geforce 9400m driver for OSX lion

Please help, I can't find the driver for the geforce 9400m for OSX lion on the Nvidia's website. There's only the drivers for OSX leopard and snow leopard.

Try turning off bluetooth. I noticed after doing some research and using xbench to test my system, GUI resources almost tripled after turning off bluetooth. I know thats odd but of all the fixes and ideas I have found online, this seems to be the only one which increased gaming performance. Be nice if we could download updated drivers from nvidia though. It will only be a matter of time before we have the ability to get lion drivers through nvidias site. Snow leopard is already there so im sure lion is to follow soon. If this doesnt help, go get yourself an optimization tool like onyx or CleanMyMac. This helped me out a little bit. Not much but enough to get another few FPS. Hope this helps.

How do I disable the back and forward gestures in F9 for OSX Lion?

The new gestures in Firefox 9 for OSX Lion that enable you to browse forward and backward with a two-fingered swipe are driving me crazy.
I like the idea, but it's way too sensitive. Every time I'm trying to scroll up or down a page (which also uses two fingers), I accidentally go back because I apparently don't have the skills to swipe up and down the track pad in a perfectly vertical line.
If the feature was adjusted so that the back and forth swiping wasn't so sensitive, this would be a wonderful feature. But as it currently is, it's destroying my browsing experience in Firefox to the point where I'm considering switching browsers.
I haven't found a way to disable just this feature and only in Firefox. Help?

You can set the related gesture prefs to an empty string value on the about:config page.
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page. 
*Use the Filter bar at the top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
Filter: gesture 
Double-click the line with the gesture pref that you want to disable and clear its value.

Having trouble updating Java Runtime for OSX Lion

Is anyone having problems updating Java Runtime for OSX Lion?

I have the same problem. It is not possible to launch the "Java Preferences" app. When I do, I get the error message:
'To open “Java Preferences,” you need to install a Java runtime, but you are not connected to the Internet.'
I am *most certainly* connected to the internet, since I'm posting to this forum.

Where can I download I movie for osx 10.9.5

where can I download I movie for osx 10.9.5

If you go to the App Store it should offer you the latest iMovie version that is compatible with your operating system. For Mavericks (10.9.5) this is 10.0.5.
If you have iMovie 9 or an earlier version of 10 you should be able to download it free. Otherwise you will have to pay.

My basic content download wont complete for my logic pro?

Same thing is also happening is Logic Pro X... but I have not seen or found links to the new Logic Pro X additional and basic content downloads.
ART OF NOISE helped with Logic 9 by offering up the following :
However, to resolve this... use these external links and download and then install all the essential and additional content instead.

Must I change my entire computer to Spanish to write Spanish documents in pages for OSX-Lion?

Must I change my entire computer to Spanish to write Spanish documents in pages for OSX-Lion?

If part of your issue has to do with Spanish-language accents, here's a guide (works everywhere in the Mac OS, not just within iWork):
OPTION-e and tap a vowel gives you the acute accents á é í ó ú
OPTION-n and tap n gives you the ñ
OPTION-1 gives you the inverted exclamation mark ¡
OPTION-SHIFT- / gives you the inverted question mark ¿

Do I need to buy new programs for osx lion?

Do I need to buy new programs for osx lion?

First you need to make sure you have a supported machine, and all the current updates (Core 2 Duo, i3/5/7 and 10.6.8.)
If you are using Microsoft Office 2004/8, then you will need to buy Office 2011. If you are using older versions of Adobe Photoshop before CS3 that are PPC only, then you will need to buy a newer Adobe CS.
If you are running iWork 08, it will work, but there will be no support for full screen unless you have 09 version. If you use Apple software like Final Cut or Logic Studio, you will also need the latest versions to use full screen support.
Basically, if you have any software installed that is more than 2 years old, you need to check if it is Intel, PPC or Universal. Because anthing that is listed as PPC will not work at all. And most Apple apps older than 2 years do not have any support for the new Full Screen or Versions features.
If you want to see if you have any PPC apps that are not supported at all, simply click the Apple icon at the top, click about this Mac, then click more info. System Profiler will open, on the left side click on "Applications" and you will see a list of every installed app. The far right column will tell you KIND, Intel, Universal or PPC. Anything in the list that says PPC will not work after installing Lion.
