IPad to connect to Mac with Remote Desktop?

Hi all,
I am considering purchasing an iPad and was wondering if it is possible to connect to a share on my Mac to grab files or to connect to the Mac via Remote Desktop or VNC?
Thanks,
Ed

That's great to hear. Since I mainly use the iBook in my family room to browse the web and check email, I am looking to replace the iBook with an iPad.
BTW, do you know if I can redirect the iTunes library on an iPad to a library that is located on a NAS drive that would be connected wirelessly via AirPort?
Thanks for the info!
Ed

Same problem to transfert a file from the Windows Server to my Mac :-( :-(
Can you help me ?
Many thanks in advance

Hi William,
Please make sure that Forward printing devices is checked. This allows you to use the local printer connects to your Mac in a remote desktop session.

Ipad bluetooth keyboard not working with remote desktop

My clients ipad bluetooth keyboard works any other time, just not when connected to his servers via the remote desktop. PC Windows 7 Servers.
I'm trying to get the keyboard information, but any ideas?

Are you using an app like LogMeIn Ignition to access your servers? I believe that LogMeIn Ignition requires you to tap a little keyboard button near the bottom of the screen to activate use of the keyboard (that's how it works in Splashtop Remote, can't be much different in LogMeIn Ignition.)
Are you sure the app you have supports blue tooth keyboard support with remote desktop? (not sure if they have to, I just recall seeing this in Splashtop patch notes awhile ago.)

PC To Mac With Remote Desktop

Is there a program or will remote desktop work for me to install on my PC at home so i can remotely control my Mac Mini at work.

But in order to use VNC, you have to set your Mac to allow it - System Preferences-->Sharing-->Services-->Apple Remote Desktop-->Access Priveleges... --> check mark "VNC viewers may control screen with password" and add a password.
You may also need to have ports opened or forwarded in your router/firewall, but that is beyond the scope of this-- it depends on the setup you're using, and you're best off asking the Network Admin about that, or searching for VNC setup instructions with your particular firewall/router.

Help, when connecting to xserve with remote desktop, lost menu bar

Here is my situation, I have an xserve running 10.5.5, this weekend the server rebooted itself and when it came back up LDAP was not running and had to be restarted. I fixed that problem but now whenever I connect to the server using remote desktop, the menu bar is missing and I cannot open any applications. The server is not located here and can not be rebooted unless absolutely necessary. Is there a way to fix this problem by SSH in the terminal? Sorry if this doesnt make too much sense I am relatively new to mac servers. Thanks in advance

I think your priorities should be first, to get the server on a decent & properly-rated UPS !
If it restarted (undesirably) for a reason other than a power outage/issue, that should get addressed promptly.
Since you have ssh access (hopefully very well secured), I'd suggest you run use diskutil to verify the system-volume as well as run a permissions repair, and then set aside the Preferences folder for your account (whichever one you try to use for ARD),
and you can kickstart the ARD client.

Stuck with Remote Desktop 3 without the serial number:(

I am the new tech assistant for my lab of 35 macs..
The computer used for managing the lab with remote desktop has crashed.
I have found an older model mac with remote desktop. I'd like to transfer that application
to my newer mac...but It will ask me for the serial number of which I do not have.
The old tech assistant has gone..and along with it...the software and document.
I have turned this lab upside down and I've found the box Apple Remote Desktop 3
but nothing else. I thought maybe the serial number would be on it. But I see
only the bar code... I am frustrated to no end. They don't answer my emails for help
Sincerely,
Love using Apple Remote Desktop 3 user but can not anymore:(

IIRC the serial number was never on the outside of the box so have you looked inside the box? Do you see the booklet that came with the box? Is the Serial Number inside? The Serial Number takes this form:
XARD-030-000-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
Who is not answering your emails for help?
Having read the terms and conditions of this forum prior to posting you'll know these are user-to-user forums and Apple are not listening, so it's difficult to see what any of us here can do to help? Perhaps if you find the purchase receipt you might be able to contact your local Apple Rep and ask if they have a record of it?
You can still use Remote Desktop by purchasing it again from the App Store. It costs far, far less than the installer media version and does not require a serial number. All you need is an Apple ID and an associated debit or credit card.

Problem with Remote Desktop on iPad 2 and windows 8.1 pro

I downloaded the Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the App Store on my iPad 2. I typed in the IP address for my windows 8.1 pro computer on my iPad 2 in school to try connecting to my windows 8.1 pro computer at home. I'm having
a hard time doing it. Do I need a rd remote gateway to access my computer from outside my local network. If so, how do I find my gateway server name? Also, I saw somewhere that I have to press accept in a pop up message on the computer your trying to connect
to. Is this true? No one is home during the day and my iPad 2 has to stay in school. Can you please give me a step by step guide with photos to help me connect to my windows 8.1 pro computer from my iPad 2 from school, which is of course outside my local network.

My keyboard doesn't work when I connect to a Windows 7 computer with Remote Desktop.

I got a new computer at work that has Windows 7 Professional 64-bit on it. I set up a Remote Desktop connection from my iMac at home and connected. However, when I tried to use the keyboard, nothing happened. After a little pecking I found that the DELETE key worked. Also, I found that the keyboard would work correctly if I held down the FUNCTION key. Very weird.
My old Windows XP computer was still connected so I connected to it via Remote Desktop. The keyboard works normally there. It has always worked in Windows XP so I was surprised when it didn't work in Windows 7.
I've been searching but haven't found anyone with this same issue. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

1. Did you use Bootcamp Assistant?
2. Did you build a USB with Windows 7 ISO and Bootcamp drivers?
3. You should use a USB2.0 disk, not a USB3.0 disk (flash drive).
4. What year is the Retina MBP?

Easy print not working on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 client with Remote Desktop connection version 8.1

Easy print is not working on a 64 bit Windows 8.1 client with Remote Desktop connection version 8.1 . Printers dont get redirected when you connect to the terminal server. The server we are connecting to has Windows 2008 server. On 32 bit Windows
7 and windows XP clients Easy print is working fine and printers get redirected in terminal server.

I am having the exact same problem. Windows 7 works fine, but 8.1 will not redirect printers. Others said to check local policy terminal services settings and my setting are all set as they should.
I think Windows 8.1 is not telling the terminal server what printers it has.

If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

Problem with remote desktop and lock screen

I know of the easy way to immediately lock a Mac's screen by clicking the menu bar lock icon from KeychainAccess. This works on every system under my control (rMBP running Mavericks, MacMini with 10.5 and Mavericks). However when I control the Macs via Remote Desktop (currently 3.7.2), that lock icon behaviour changes.
Trying to lock a 10.5 system, the screen inside the Remote Desktop window goes black immediately. Moving the mouse activates the password dialog. That is what I want. Doing the same in a remote Mavericks system, the screen goes to a dark blackish semi-transparent state. Moving the mouse immediately restores the normal desktop view, no password asked. Is this a feature or a bug in Remote Desktop? This change in behaviour must have come in around Lion or Mountain Lion.

Hi
Do you use the Intel Proset Utility to configurate the WLan connection?
Try to configure the WLan using this tool and check if the Wlan would disconnect again.
Im also interesting what Wlan driver did you use?
Did you use one from the Intel page?
If not, check the Intel page for the newest WLan driver version.

4150L - Works on web, but can not connect via VPN or Remote Desktop

Recently purchased a 4150L and installed the latest firmware. We have been able to access all public websites without any problems. But, when we try and access our customers computers via VPN (various types) or Remote Desktop, we can't connect. We can sign-in to VPN, but when we try and access the computer, it says "can't connect". Exact same message with Remote Desktop. We are able to connet when use a Verizon phone as a hotspot and from every other internet service that we have tried (i.e. hotels, starbucks, etc.) It appears it is an issue with the 4150L.
Verizon Tech Support has been no help!
All ideas are appreciated!
Thanks,
Skip

Skip,
VPN traffic should be allowed through on the MiFi 4510L by default. I know I do not have any issues with mine on either the Cisco IPSec or Cisco SSL VPN Clients.
If Verizon DNS is interferring then perhaps you could try to connect to your VPN via a direct IP Address instead of a URL. Not sure what VPN client you have but there should be a No DNS option to connect if you know the correct IP. You could also try switching your DNS to one of the free ones such as the one offered by Google or any of the others.
VPN's carry alot of overhead on existing connections in my experience. Its not untypical to have a 3G connection cut in half when a VPN is applied. Try running a speed test to make sure your connection is atleast 1 MB on download before initiating a connection. If the performance of the MiFi is too poor in that area it may never be stable enough to support a connection. Feel free to post some Speedtest.net averages so we can see what you are working with.
Something to note about the MiFi 4510L is that it is on the SIM card network. That means that NAT is always going to be an issue and block your users from providing a truely public IP Address. Directly remoting to them through any means will be nearly impossible.

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

Can connect two Macs with USB2 cable?

Can connect two Macs with USB2 cable?

You can connect two Macs with an ethernet wire, or conect two Macs using Firewire if one is placed in target disk mode, but that is it.
