How to get VPN access on my MAC

My new job requires me to have a VPN connection to get to my OWA email and work internet site from my personal computer. The instructions are very simple, but they do not work on a MAC. Please help!!!!

There are multiple VPN implementations available, and what you use on your Mac is dependent on the VPN server your company is using.
Some companies use a dedicated client that you have to get from the company.  Some companies require you to configure the VPN client on your computer.  On the Mac it would be via System Preferences -> Network (see attached image)
However, which flavor of VPN is controlled by your company
And once you create a VPN interface there will be detailed information you have to provide which is specific to your company, that you company will need to supply.
Generally speaking, the easiest thing is when the company provides a pre-configured VPN client, then you just have to download the client, run the client, and enter your VPN username and password.  Configuring your own VPN generally requires a lot more hands on and detailed information from your company.
As Templeton Peck says, you need to talk to your company's IT, or find their web page, or get someone else at the company which has been through this to give you a hand getting setup.

  • How can I regain access to a MAC account? -- Macbook Pro?

    Situation:  My wife has a 13" Mac Book Pro, that we received in May 2011.
    OS: Mac OS X Snow Leopard (not sure which version it came with -- 10.6?)
    My wife's computer had two administrative accounts.  She uses one regularly, and the other is the 'primary' account for downloading updates and such.
    She was unable to figure out how to use Time Machine or any of the other backup software and the like.
    Yesterday, she updated to OS X Lion, and found that a number of the programs that she enjoys using no longer function.
    She wanted to roll-back to Snow Leopard.  After transferring the majority of the 'must-save' files, she put in the install disk again for snow leopard.  This allowed her to start fresh, however, she wants to regain access to those old accounts.  She tried, but, none of the passwords work anymore.  We know what the passwords are; but, they are not working.
    Our ATTEMPTED solution:  She found a site "http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-7339…  This site told her to do something in the boot terminal that allowed her to add a new administrative account.
    She tried going into that new admin account and changing the passwords to the other accounts; no joy.  She changes them, but, they are not retained when she logs off or restarts.
    How can she regain access to her old files?

    Open itunes.  Sign into your account.

  • How to get 10 screens on a Mac Pro

    Hi All:
    I'm trying to figure out how to get 10 screens working together like one big desktop on a Mac Pro.
    Currently I have a 12core 2010 Mac Pro with 2 ATI 5770 cards driving 6 30" cinema displays.  Each of these cards are double wide.
    I want to connect 4 65" LED displays. 
    Does anyone have an idea how I can do this?  The Mac Pro has only 4 slots.  The two 5770s take up 3 spaces (because of their doulbe wide size).  The last slot has a OWC solidstate drive there.  I guess I could remove that and use just a regular SATA SSD if need be, but would love to get this done with just 3 slots.
    So some thoughts. There are two possible ways (ideal, and less ideal) that I can think of:
    IDEAL way:
    The ideal would be to find a single wide card that supports 5 or 6 displays, and use that.  I know that some people have had success flashing single wide cards, but it's not clear if all the ports are usable.  See here for an ATI card with 3 ports, single slot, that's been flashed:
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Apple-Mac-Pro-ATI-Radeon-HD-5770-1GB-Video-Card-Single-S lot-5870-/150928552679?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item23240af2e7
    Also, it's not clear if you could get 4 of those cards working to drive all 10 screens.
    However, there are single wide 5/6 display cards like this:
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150566&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junc tion&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10440897&PID=3332167&SID=u00000687
    Has any seen or know of a 5 port card like the above that has been flashed to work in a Mac Pro?
    LESS ideal way:
    My guess is there are some PCI expansion chasis, and I can just put in 2 more regular ATI 5770s there.  I found this:
    http://www.jmr.com/en/products/14/3-slot-pcie-extender/
    and this
    http://www.magma.com/catalog/classic-pci-expansion
    I'm not sure how well these extenders work.
    EVEN LESS ideal way:
    Perhaps getting another Mac or PC and somehow VNC'ing in is an option, but this likely would be too laggy to run video from one computer to the other.  The ideal is to just treat the system like one giant screen, but I'm open to hearing any experiences/suggestions on getting this to work.
    Thanks so much!

    After reading up on it, it seems that the 6850 supports 3 displays. So perhaps I could do one 6870 (4 displays) in slot one, and then 2 single slot 6850's or 5770's in slots 2 and 3. This would give 10 displays.
    I have 3 questions then:
    (1) What is the quietest 6870 card people have successfully used in a Mac Pro?
    (2) What is quietest single slot 6850 or 5770 card successfully used in a Mac Pro?
    (3) Has anyone gotten thiis 5770 single slot card to work on a Mac Pro, and have they gotten 5 display ports to work?

  • How to get file attribs - on any Mac

    ok so if the Mac in question has Developer / Tools - yeah the GetFileInfo binary will work to get the Type and Creator code and other info.... since most Macs dont have this bulky download... how to get file attribute information via Terminal ? How to change it ?

    Oddly enough I was just now playing around with a getinfo Applescript and studying the event log when I realized that it does return information about at least some of the attributes. I made the ones that it looks like you can get information about bold:
    A Alias file
    B Bundle
    C Custom icon
    D Desktop
    E Hidden extension
    I Inited
    M Shared (can run multiple times)
    N No INIT resources
    L Locked
    S System (name locked)
    T Stationary
    V Invisible
    Z Busy
    If you are interested see this thread:

    The SetFile function is actually available on any Mac that has a recent Tiger updater package installed. Thus I have copies in both the package updaters and the receipts for 10.4.7, .8, .9 and .10 in the /Library/Packages and /Library/Receipts folders. The SetFile command is in the Resources folder:
    "/Library/Packages/MacOSXUpd10.4.10PPC.pkg/Contents/Resources/SetFile"
    Control click on the .pkg file and select Show contents from the Contextual Menu to get there. Unfortunately I don't know of any way to use some other Terminal command to get information on all the attributes, except the GetFileInfo and using the Applescipt get info function.

  • How to get rid of malware on Mac Pro

    I have a Mac Pro with the OS X Yosemite. My computer has malware on it. I keep getting popups and ads on my screen, whether I'm using Safari or Chrome. One of the popups says "Suspicious activity found on your computer, due to pop-up advertisement windows and invasive links. Please contact tech support at 1-866-215-6348." I want to know how to get rid of this malware. Thanks in advance.

    Some are persistent. Force quit Safari again. Disconnect from the Internet by either turning off Wi-Fi in the System Preferences, or unplugging the Ethernet cable from your router/modem. Hold the Shift key and launch Safari again. If the same popup appears, you will be able to dismiss it and navigate away from the page, or close its tab. Reconnect to the Internet.
    Though reading your initial post again, it's sounding more like JimmyCMPIT is correct since you're seeing ads in multiple browsers. It's just rare for one the ads that pops up to be like one of the tech support scams.
    In which case, you can either follow Apple's manual instructions for removing adware, or use the free automated tool, AdwareMedic (as mentioned by, and linked to by Jimmy).
    It should be noted that Apple's manual removal instructions are typically outdated. Sometimes a lot outdated. It depends on when Apple last updated their instructions page. If you would prefer to manually remove the adware on your system, you can find much more up-to-date instructions on The Safe Mac's adware removal page.

  • How to get iTunes 10 back on Mac OS 10.8.x?

    Hello,
    When I upgraded my system, MacOS overwrote my iTunes with 11.04 which for me is a big step back in ease of use.
    Is there anywhere an option to download an older iTunes (10.x) somewhere and overwrite this nasty new one under 10.8.4?
    Any help would be welcome.

    Thanks for your response.
    I know how to get it to act and look like the previous itunes - at least as much as possible.
    However:
    - The search now comes up with this pop-up menu which gets in my way. I would like to turn it off completely.
    When you have a large datase, the fastest way is to type into the search a name followed by other criteria such as album name year or genre. Anything else involves extra clicking and scrolling.
    - The album cover cannot be seen in the lower left corner. I don't want it floating in a separate window, and even floating, it only comes up when the piece is playing. Sometimes I just want to verify a name or something on the cover image and for that reason I just want to click a song name once without starting it.

  • How to get AIM to use my .mac iChat address

    I use a few different accounts for IM (for personal and business), including the primary one that uses my .mac email address. I can set up the AIM ones to use AIM Mobile, but can't find a way to get AIM to recognize my .mac name for that purpose. When I try to login, it says that is a valid name, but when I ask to change the password the response is not sent to my .mac email address.
    Apparently there is another user registered with the same name (minus the .mac suffix). Could AIM just be looking at the part before the .mac and assuming it's the same person? For all I know, I could have registered that name with AOL years ago, but if I did it is sending my password to an email account that I no longer use.

    I am not aware that you can change the @Mac password anywhere but when logged into your account at @mac.com
