Microsoft rdc for mac

I have a MacBook Pro (13" new July 2012) and have upgraded to Mountain Lion. Has anyone had success downloading and using Microsoft's Remote Desktop for Mac?

I've know a few people who have had trouble getting CoRD to work correctly with their PPC mac. Personally I've not had any problems. I know the later version seems to work better.
As MS RDC, in an ideal world it would be nice if that could be resolved. I have been playing about with that myself a few times now. At first I thought it was a firewall problem on my Mac. After many hours of fiddling with this, it still had the same problem. This problem is the same for my MacBook pro too.
Many user forums seem to be suggesting config change, but I find it odd how it works fine with Windows XP, but connecting to anything else has problem. Could it be a configuration problem in Windows I wonder? Should you come across a resolution, then let us know here on the Support Community.
Best of Luck.

  • Is there any way to keep Microsoft RDC for Mac OSX from disconnecting when I start typing?

    I am able to login to remote computers using Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection for Mac OS X (version 2.0.1). I can launch applications and open folders on the remote system without any problems. However, anytime I start typing it immediately disconnects me from the remote system.
    I have resorted to using TSClientX, which works, but doesn't have all the great features that RDC for Mac OS X has.
    My PowerBook is running 10.5.8. The remote systems are Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows Server 2008.
    I have tried uninstalling the latest version of RDC for Mac and going back to several older versions, that did not resolve the issue.
    I have tried restoring the keyboard shortcuts, that did not resolve the issue (though, I never made any changes to the configuration anyway).
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
    I'm going to post this on a Microsoft Support forum as well, but thought I'd see if anyone here had any suggestions as well. Thanks in advance!

  • Do i need to setup a VNC to use microsoft rdc for mac?

    I am trying to gain access to my work pc (xp pro) with my intel based mpb at home running snow leopard. I've been told that everything is setup to allow an RDC on my work computer and I have microsoft RDC on my mac. However, I am still running into problems. I'm wondering if I need a VNC setup prior to using the RDC. I would appretiate any help. Thanks.

    VNC & RDC (a.k.a.: RDP) are separate and for the most part have nothing to do with each other.
    Did you mean VPN (virtual private network) instead of VNC? (Virtual network computing protocol.)
    More than likely, you need to configure the firewall at work to allow incoming RDC sessions.  (i.e.: configure port forwarding) or use a VPN.  The VPN connects your remote computer "directly" onto the office's network, bypassing the firewall.  Creating a VPN is not trivial.  But configuring the firewall or VPN will probably require you to contact your network administrator to get the proper settings anyway.

  • RDC for Mac version 8.0.9 audio "input"

    It appears that the recording device is mapping through an RDP session from a Mac to Windows Server 2008 R2 machine (as well as Server 2012 R2) that is configured for both audio input and output, however no sound can be recorded.  In comparison, the
    recording device did not map within the old version 2.1.1 of RDC for Mac.  I am hoping this is 99% of the way there in the 8.0.9 version of the new client and that Microsoft can provide a way to get this running.  Can this happen relatively quickly?
     We have clients in the Healthcare IT space that need to use Dragon for Medical in conjunction with RDP sessions.  Thanks! 

    Hi Todd,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
     I am afraid to inform you that still the function of audio is not supported by MRD MAC OS x 8.0.9.
    Thanks for your understanding and support!

  • Issues with Microsoft Word for mac closing when I try to open old or newly downloaded documents

    When I download a document from my professor, or try to open an older document, my word automatically quits. If it's already closed and I try to open a document, it will show the dot at the bottom of the icon that it's loading to open but it quickly disappears and quits itself. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

  • Can i use microsoft office for mac on windows 7 installed on macbook pro?, can i use microsoft office for mac on windows 7 installed on macbook pro?

    I have recently installed Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro (2011). I have also recently got Microsoft office for Mac 2011. Can somebody please advise if it is possible to use (install) office for mac 2011 on this windows 7 that i have installed. If possible, how to do it?

    No it is not possible.
    You can use office for mac, on OSX, but not on windows.
    You need to use the windows version, on windows 7.

  • I lost my ability to use Microsoft Offic for Mac, when I upgraded my MAC from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion! HELP!

    HELP !
    After I upgraded my operating system on my mac, (from  Snow Leopard (10.6 ? ) to Mountain Lion (10.8.2), virtually ALL of my documents (recipes, update logs, information of untold things), have been denied to me with my Microsoft Word for Mac (which I have used since I purchased my mac in Aug.2008).
          I now get a window that tells me "You can't open the application "Microsoft Word" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." (Needless to say, I cannot use Excel or anything else, either!)
          Yet, I can still access them, fully (read and even print fro them), individually, by dragging a file into my PREVIEW program!
          What gives?
          I am not a savvy programmer, nor do I confess to somehow being warned that this might happen when I upgraded my operating system.
         Is there any reasonable (easier?) way to continue the use of these (to me) very important files? I only upgraded because I upgraded my iPhone to a 4S and wanted everything to conform to  siimilar circumstances!
         What can I DO?

    You need to upgrade your copy of MS Office. You're using a version that is 8 years old (at least). You can buy Office 2011, which will work. You could also get a copy of Pages from the App Store, which is cheaper and will open Word files (though not perfectly). Or you could get a free Office clone, like OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

  • I upgraded my Mac from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  I did have Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 in my applications and now get a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported."

    I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.  When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported.  How can I access all of my save Word documents?  I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004).  If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?

    Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
    Consider
    LibreOffice (donation-supported)
    NeoOffice (free)
    OpenOffice (free)
    In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft.

  • Microsoft Office for Mac open recent File menu option causing AFP to crash

    Hi all,
    We have an Xserve running Mac OS X Server Leopard 10.5.8. The Xserve hosts three file shares for about 60 users. Our network is 99% Mac based running mostly 10.5.8 with a few 10.6.x. We have historically over the past several years had the AFP service become unreliable and crash frequently. Late last week the AFP service crashes constantly. The quick solution to getting it up and running is to delete the AFP.conf file in /etc.
    We have troubleshot one cause of AFP crashing to the Open Recent... File menu option in Microsoft Office for Mac applications. That is, through some amount (haven't been able to narrow it down to how much) of opening documents on the share via the Open Recent menu the AFP service will crash.
    Here's what's happening in the AppleFileServer .crash file:

    Our solution is to have all our users turn off the open recent option in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Not an ideal solution but it may get the AFP service running "good enough."
    Has anyone had an experience like this before or can anyone duplicate the AFP service crashing when trying to open documents on a share via the open recent menu? Any other ideas?
    Thanks

    Update.
    I have been able to consistently reproduce a problem where the AFP service will crash if a file that a user has an alias to is moved to a folder and the user is denied access to .
    1. On your Mac create an alias to a file or folder, that you have access to, that is stored on a share served via AFP. The alias can be in the Places section of a Finder window, on the Desktop, or anywhere an alias can be created. Lets call what the alias points to the target.
    2. Move the target to a folder on the AFP share and deny the user or group Read & Write access to that folder.
    3. Try accessing the target via the alias created in step 1.
    The AFP service should crash.
    Can anyone reproduce this crash scenario too?

  • How to reinstall Microsoft Office for Mac after new hard drive?

         Recently I had a problem with my Macbook Pro, and unfortunately had to purchase a new hard drive and have it installed. This also led to the loss of data and other things, such as Microsoft Office for Mac. I know this is an Apple community, but I get better answers here than at the Microsoft communities so I'm hoping someone can help find out how to reinstall Microsoft Office 2013. I logged onto my Microsft account and it says that there is no record of me purchasing Microsoft Office on that account but I know thats the account that it was purchased on, so i cannot get my product key to reinstall it as directed. Someone please help!!!!

    Try calling MS support and explaining the situation, maybe they will issue a new key.

    Thanks

    Your take shows iOS 6, but I'm assuming you're talking about OS X since this is the Lion forum.
    MS Word does show a somewhat different layout of the print dialogue, but all of the same options are there under the pulldown menu (where it starts at "Copies & Pages").
