How to use iMac to work with windows computers like pcAnywhere?

I just bought my first iMac, and love it. I run pcAnywhere (version 12.1) on a few windows computers for work, but need to connect to them via my new iMac and using a phone line modem. How do I do this; and I am fairly new to Mac. I have tried to install the pcAnywhere on my Mac, using pcAnywhere Cross Platform, but it will not connect at all and the error code I get is below:
You can't open the application "pcAnywhere CrossPlatform" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
It took me over an hour to get it installed, via java downloads. I connect on my old PC's with a phone number to connect via the modem because where I am connecting to has no Internet other than a phone line.
Please help!!

The PCAnywhere application you are trying to run is too old to be supported on a Mac running Lion, Mountain Lion, or any newer MacOS. I would check to see if PCAnywhere has released an updated version of the application that you can use. If not, you will probably need to go the route of virtualization (or keep an old PC around for supporting work).
If you have to use virtualization, then you might want to consider using Virtual Box (a free app) to install Windows 7 on a virtual PC, then just run the PC version of your PCAnywhere software just like you would on any other PC. You could use Virtual Box to install a MacOS 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) instance and run your existing Mac version of the PCAnywhere software, but you would probably be better off to just use the Windows version.

How do i get new imac to work with windows

I'm new to the imac world, how do I get it to work with windows

If you are talking about MS Windows then you need to launch either Boot Camp or run it in Virtualization app such as Parallels or VM Fusion. You also need a valid license of MS Windows.However if that is not what you mean then you must be much more specific. For example:
"I want to share some files between my PC running Windows 7 and my new iMac running 10.9.3, how do I go about that?"

How to use the FP 3000 with windows XP?

Hi to all,
Actually I have a problem using My FP-3000 nifbus with a windows xp proffetional station.
previously I was using it with nifbus configurator and communication manager, both of version 2.3 and then I upgraded to 2.3.6 (using windows 2000) and now I am trying to use it with windows xp, but the configurator does not communicate with fp-3000 and it doesn't show any function blocks.
I started by installing the 2.3 configurator and manager, but the PCMCIA fbus/2 card that I'm using was not recognised by windows.
so I upgraded to 2.3.6, the pcmcia card was now recognised by windows but the communication manager kept giving a communication error.
so I installed the communication manager version 3.0, which started successfu
lly and the configurator started but the fp-3000 was not present.
I tried updating the firmware, but the upgrade.exe did not disfunctioned and gave strange module names in the window, and it did not download the firmware.
I also tried resetting the fp-3000 but still no luck.
so any one can tell me what software and what versions should I use to overcome this problem?

It sounds like a problem of advanced network parameter settings.
You can start "Interface Configuration Utility", choose the port and select "Edit", then choose "Advanced..." button to have "Advanced Stack Configuration" dialog.
Change values to:
T1 0x40000,
T2 0x40000,
T3 0x30000,
Slot Time 5
Click OK to close "Interface Configuration Utility", and run NI-FBUS CM or Configurator to check whether it helps.
If you have 3.0 or 3.1 version, you just choose the "Old Default" button to set the values automatically.

How to use airport time capsule with multiple computers?

I'm sure there are some thread about this but i couldn't find it... so sorry for that but hear me out! =)
I bought the AirPort Time Capsule to back up my MBP
And so i did.
then i thought "let give this one a fresh start" so i erased all of it with the disk utility and re-installed the MBP from the recovery disk.
I dont want all of the stuff i backed up just a few files and some pictures so i brought that back.. so far so good.
Now i want to do a new back up of my MBP so i open time machine settings, pick the drive on the time capsule and then "Choose" i wait for the beck up to begin, and then it fails. It says (sorry for my bad english, im swedish haha) "the mount /Volume/Data-1/StiflersMBP.sparsebundle is already in use for back up.
this is what i want:
i want the "StiflersMBP.sparsebundle" to just be so i can get some stuf when i need them. it's never to be erased.
i want to make a new back up of my MBP as if it's a second computer...
so guys and girls, what is the easiest and best solution?
Best regards!

TM does not work like that.
If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.

Use a clone or different software for a permanent backup.

How do i share my server with windows computers on my network

I just got my mac mini server not long ago, and i am trying to slowly convert my office from pc to MAC. But i am having trouble sharing files, sharing my MAC's screen with a pc, and connecting my MAC to the router. Does anyone know what to do? and last question, is there any way for my mac to use its mail service on a pc (i.e. mail to outlook)? Thanks!!!!

You're going to have to be more specific with the issues, errors and diagnostic messages that you are encountering, and what particular configuration you are seeing to establish.
Screen sharing is available from Mac to Mac, and from Windows once you load a VNC client on the Windows box such as TightVNC or some other VNC client, and configure and connect it.
Here are some notes on getting Windows file clients to connect to a Mac OS X Server SMB Samba file server; you have to drop some of the Windows security requirements to allow it to connect to the Mac OS X Server box.
Microsoft Office Outlook isn't traditionally used with mail servers other than Microsoft Exchange Server. (While Outlook was good with Exchange Server and has likely gotten better over the years, it was classically rather poor when working with SMTP servers.) More commonly, Outlook Express (and now called Windows Mail) is used for this, or Mozilla Thunderbird, or another SMTP-capable mail client.
One of the first things you will want to ensure here is correct and functional DNS on your LAN; other services are entirely dependent on DNS, and your ISP DNS cannot provide valid DNS for a LAN behind a NAT device. Launch Terminal.app and issue the command sudo changeip -checkhostname and see if you get an indication that DNS is correct and no changes are required, or that there are DNS errors. (You will need to enter an administrative password for the sudo command to be accepted.)
To connect and use a mail server on the Internet, you'll need to have a public static IP address and a correct public DNS configuration, or (far less desirably, and rather more complex) a way to tunnel from a non-static IP address over to a mail gateway service of some sort. Having static IP and correct DNS is the usual approach.

How to use my time capsule with windows vista

i have a 2tb time capsule iphone 3gs appple tv and a ipad 2 the wife and kids have iphone 3gs and 4 and id like to set up a home network for us all to use and share music and photos is this possible

Sorry the title never gets into detail at any point.. no vista computer is listed.
Access the vista computer to TC turn on the guest network and allow full read write access. Make sure you have the workgroup set correctly. There are issues sometimes on the windows side but try that.
As for using the TC as a file store.. well it isn't a good idea. It is a backup device.. which has no ability to back up itself. There is no mirrored disks and one day it will die and you can say bye bye to your precious photos and music. You can work your way around the issue.. sure.. in the end you will need an alternative backup on a computer.. that alternative backup will then be backed up to where??
If you must run your itunes and iphoto library on the TC just read about how to set up the libraries in network location. Google will find the posts.

You perhaps should read all the other posts about why not.. as well as how to.

How to use an external display with Windows 7 and a Macbook Pro (Unibody)

I just set up my new Macbook Pro 15 inch with the Windows 7 beta, and noticed that I couldn't get the external monitor to be seen using Windows 7 only. I am using my Dell 30 inch monitor and it was only seeing the laptop's main display. The fix was to download the Nvidia video drivers for the 9 series (e.g. the GeForce 9600/9400), after which it was maically able to see the display.
The driver can be found here. Enjoy.

Getting old Laserjet printers to work with Windows 7

Hi Everyone,
For those of you, like me, that may have an old Laserjet 4, 5, or 6 I figured out how to get it to work with Windows 7!
First, new computers do not have LPTx ports. So, when you first set up your Laserjet you MUST select a USB port - this is the main problem with getting your old laserject to work on a new computer. MY computer dispalyed USB001 and USB002. Since I have another HP printer installed using USB001, I selected USB002. You will also need a Pararellel to USB adapter cable - you can buy one on Amazon (I paid just $11.87).
Next, when selecting a printer driver you MUST select HP, NOT Hewlett Packard. Scroll down until you find Laserjet 4,5, or 6. NOTE, if you don't see these models, click on the Windows update button in the dialog box. NOTE: This may take a few minutes to display the updated list. Again, select HP and scroll down the list of drivers until you find your model Laserjet (Laserjet 4, 5, or 6).
At this point you should be good. Just finish the install process and make sure to print out a test page.
Good luck !

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/hpeb/
I hope this helps.

Adobe 6.0 won't work with windows 98

I bought 6.0 without reading the fine print. When I tried to install it, I found out that I need Windows 2000 or higher. I can't upgrade to windows 2000 due to conflicts with other programs I'm running. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make 6.0 work with WIndows 98, or how to get an older version of Adobe?
Thanks!

Will Acrobat Pro 7 Work with Windows 7?    It did NOT with Vista.

I create fillable forms using Pro and have never had any problem getting Acrobat Pro to install the PDF driver with Windows 6 or XP.
However, I have tried every "solution" offered by Adobe to get the driver to install on my new notebook which runs on Vista. I have also downloaded and installed both Vista service packs. The driver still will not install,
Without the converter driver, I cannot do a substantial portion of my work on the new computer.
I was going to upgrade to Acrobat Pro 8 but found out from other irritated users that Pro 8 also failed to install the driver using Vista.
   Am I the only customer who thinks there is really shoddy support from Adobe on this issue?
I am willing to upgrade to Windows 7. However, if Pro fails to work with Windows 7 like it did with Vista then the upgrade would be another waste of my money. If we cannot depend on Acrobat Pro to work on the Windows platform, my company (5000+ employees) is going to have to find other software.
Has anyone had success getting Acrobat Pro (7, 8, OR 9) to install the PDF converter driver with Windows 7 ?
Thanks!

What is the "method" to get around issues with Windows 7 64bit? My XP machine failed and I've bought a new one running Windows 7 64bit. I'm trying to get a credit card statement, but I can't read it because the downloaded Acrobat 9 I'm trying to install - won't install. Something about it not being "compatible" with Windows Vista and 7 operating 64bit. How long has Vista been around?? - at least a couple years. Why hasn't Acrobat been able to get "compatable" in all this time?? Right now it seems I'm screwed because I unknowiing bought a 64bit machine.
I've been told at work that the answer is to get some sort of similated 32bit operation going that Acrobat can handle. Can you please tell me how to do that? I'd really appreciate your help.

As a temporary workaround, I believe this Adobe management page allows you to clear your "Flash cookies": [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html Adobe - Flash Player : Settings Manager - Website Storage Settings panel] (hosted on macromedia.com -- Macromedia was the original developer of Flash).
Regarding the script error, if I'm reading the script correctly, it is related to accessing your Flash cookies directory. It seems the publisher's support forum is not currently available for searching, but that might be a good next step.
In the meantime, could you check whether the script has the correct location for your Flash cookies directory? If you can't access Tool > BetterPrivacy, you could check here:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''bpr''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) There should be a bolded setting named '''extensions.bprivacy.DataDir''' which looks approximately like the following:
C:\Users\''yourWindowsUsername''\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia
Do you have a similar value? If you paste the path used by BetterPrivacy into a Windows Explorer window, does it open? Also, click a couple levels in the folder, can you see:
Flash Player \ #SharedObjects
If the value is wrong, right-click the wrong value and choose Reset. BetterPrivacy should update the value the next time you try to access it.
If the value is blank, you could try inserting a sensible value and see whether that helps.
Any luck?

How can I get my iMac to work with scanners?

How can I get my iMac to work with scanners? The scanners scan just fine, but not to my iMac. I've tried Epson and HP all-in-ones; it makes no diffference. I'm becoming extremely displeased, but don't know at whom I should be displeased, the printer guys or Apple. Help?

My Epson is able to do scans using Image Capture without any problems at all.

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

I have downloaded MAMP for Mac and want to use it for working with Wordpress. I'm on an Imac with Maverick OS 10.9. I had mysql installed before this and would like to uninstall it and use MAMP. It was easy to turn off Apache and PHP but don't know how to uninstall mysql. Please help!!

It depends on how you installed it. You have to shutdown the MySQL service first. If you used the standard, but obsolete Startup Item, you can do that with the Startup Item. If you created a launchd script, you can do it with launchctl. Once MySQL is no longer running, you can delete the Startup Item or launchd script and the rest of MySQL.
