I am trying to connect to my work PC from my mac

I currently use the microsoft remote desktop connection for mac but I hate how small the screen is. Does anyone know a better program that would let me view my entire work pc screen from my mac?

You can just login and see everything ...
On the PC enable Sharing for C: and make sure you know a username and password that has at least read access
On the Mac go to System Preferences/Sharing, check File Sharing then hit the Options button
Check the third box 'Share files and folders using SMB (Samba for windows)
Some of your usernames should be showing there check at least one (I have an account created in Accounts called user just for this purpose)
Click Done and close the Sharing panel
On the Desktop go to the top menu bar and select Go/Connect to Server and when that window opens enter smb://name of your PC and enter - when the dialogue opens enter the name of a user account on your PC and it will then mount C:

Newbie question. Trying to connect to my work network from home?

Hi, I need to be able to monitor my work computers from home. Now I have a static IP at work and a dynamic at home. I have Ard3 installed on my laptop which I take to work and I also use it at home ( hopefull to check on renderings at work). When I am at work on the local network I can monitor all the work computers but when I go home I can't. I know that I have to do some configuring but I am not sure what I need to configure. Now the router at work and home are the same model a D-link DI-524. Can anyone help I need to monitor at least but but would also need to monitor 4 others.
Thanks
Anron

I have the Ports 5900 and 3283 fowarding to work computer A and at home I have the Ports forwarded to my laptop. No we have a static ip at work which comes from the the modem into the Dlink Di-524 router. No I we do not use a NAT. At work the flow goes from the modem to the router to a switch to the work Computer A. At home it goes from the modem to the router to a switch to the laptop.
I hope this helps.

You can purchase recovery disks from HP. Here is a webpage showing you how to do that:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=bph07143
If HP no longer supplies your specific recovery disk, you can usually find one from a 3rd party site, such as www.restoredisks.com for between $20 and $30.

I have the same problem. It is only with tv shows and only with programs I have downloaded after the software update.
Apple support sent me the above link too....but it doesn't solve the problem...my computer is authorized and the content is in my library and will play on my Mac air, but it will not sync the tv shows, it keeps saying my computer isn't authorized for it.
No answers here, but you are definitely not alone with this issue.

I was wondering if there's a way to connect to my work server from my home iMac i7. I can't seem to get Share Screen to work. I have tried connecting to server using the vnc but doesn't work.

The easiest way would be to use Back to My Mac, but that will only work if the server is a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later and you have the cooperation of the network administrator.

I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection.

I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection to an external drive so that I don't lose the file before reinstalling the software but I keep on getting a message:
"Restore Failure
Source volume is read-write and cannot be unmounted, so it can't be block copied."
Any advice on how to make a copy of this internal drive?
Thanks!
....also the internal hard drive i am trying to copying run on a mac os x 10.5 and i'm reinstalling the software because the computer is not starting and only shows a grey folder with a question marks inside.

I've had my Maxtor external OneTouch 250GB for about 18 months now and it hasn't skipped a beat. I have hear of people having their Maxtor drive just up and die but you will probably find that goes for all manufacturers.
By the way, Maxtor is, amongst others, an OEM supplier to Apple.

Possibly.
You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

Why do I get "Unknown user name or bad password" on Windows 7 when trying to connect to an SMB share on my Mac?

Before installing the update to 10.7.3 I could connect to an SMB share on my Mac from Windows 7 but I can't any longer. When I try I get the error "Unknown user name or bad password" on the Windows 7 system.
When I try to connect using the "net use..." command I get the error: "System error 86 has occurred".
Does anyone know how to resolve this? What really confuses me is that it was working fine until I installed the update to 10.7.3.

Check the Wins Tab in the Advanced section of Network in system preferences.
If you don't have the same workgroup name and the correct NetBIOS name showing up in the WINS tab you will get the Bad username or password.
I know I deal with this everyday.
There is something wrong with Lion and it does not automatically fill in those entries in the WINS tab.
What I have to do on every reboot/startup is open System preferences go to Sharing and uncheck File Sharing then recheck it. That will fill in the WINS tab entries.

Can't connect remotely to a PC from my Mac

I'm trying to connect remotely to my computer at work which is a PC. I've downloaded the "remote desktop connection for mac" and put in the correct information. I know I've entered in the correct information because I've been able to connect to the computer but only if I'm at work and using their wireless. I haven't been able to connect using my wireless or any other. I get a message saying it could not connect to my computer at work. My co-workers have no problem connecting remotely from home, but with their PC's.

Thanks for your help. I realize it's a microsoft program. I posted the problem in a different forum and someone suggested this forum. In the office, we all have our own computers so it could be a problem with my computer at work. I've followed the instructions for enabling remote access on my work computer and it clearly works since I was able to log in remotely from my laptop but on our office wireless. I considered that it may be a problem with my router. I've looked through my router settings but nothing worked. As for settings on my mac, my firewall is currently off. Not sure where to go from here, I'm assuming it must be a problem with my security settings. Just can't seem to figure out which settings to change. At the office, we operate off the server, could that have something to do with it?

SMB or AFP? Connecting to an XRaid/XSan from a Mac

What's the preferred protocol when connecting from a Mac to a network volume on either a single XRaid or an Xsan volume? Any advantages to AFP? Any known issues? Any reasons to use SMB?

Thanks for input but must disagree, I have several successful installations with 3rd party network-based RAIDs, with dedicated GigE line to each machine. Works great, multiple DV25 streams to 3-4 concurrent Macs. No dropped frames
Struggling with a current setup involving one XRaid and 3 GigE clients. Have seen suggestions that there is differences between SMB and AFP but nothing specific...
