PcAnywhere for Mac? Connect to PC

Does anyone know if there is a OS X software package that can connect to a PC running pcAnywhere? I know I can use VNC but am having trouble going that route over a VPN tunnel.
Any help would be greatl appreciated.

Well I just received my copy of Pcanywhere 12.0.
I
tried to unstall it on my imac G5, I unfortunately
received this error:
Could not create directory /usr/local/lib
I cannot find any support for this type of error.
I
looked to see if everything was updated according to
recommendations. However I cannot proceede past
this. The only option is to exit.
Any help is greatly appreciated..
I was knocking my head on this one for a while.
I solved it by creating the directory in terminal
with this command:
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/pcAnywhere
I then changed the permissions on that directory from
system (read only) to my "user name" (read/write) and
it installed fine then. I left it read/write after
installation as 'thin host' needs it that way to
store config files.
(There was also one other directory /usr/bin that I
had to change to read/write because the install
needed to write a temp file there. I changed that
back after the install completed without errors)
It's a shame that the geniuses at Symantec have no
clue that this is the problem and that there's
NOTHING posted in their support about this issue.
Hope this helps someone.

PowerBook G4 1.67,
MacMini 1.58 Mac OS X (10.4.1)
I had the same problem...
Another way to solve the problem is to set up a "Root" level account and then log in to that account as the admistrator.. once you have a Root level account set up you will find a new log on when you start up computer.. log into the Root account using "root" as the user name and whatever the password you set when you created the root level account... once logged into the root account PC Anywhere will install... then log back into your user account and your program will work... I actually installed PC Anywhere again through the user account after I got it installed from the root level - but I am not sure if I would have needed to do that or not... but anyway all works fine now..
Hope this helps someone...

Remote Desktop Connection for Mac - connection lost after a minute idle

Hi There,
I am trying to connect from a Macbook Pro to my work (XP) machine using the latest Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.
It used to work fine, and recently it has been dropping the connection if I've not been 'active' for a minute or so.
What is confusing is that it is not always like this. Some days, I can leave it inactive for hours over lunch etc, and I'll come back and it will be fine. And just the other day, in the morning it dropped me out ever minute or so I was inactive, and then the afternoon was fine, and the evening was troublsome again.
Our administrators had not changed anything during that time, nor had I changed anything on my XP machine at work, or my Mac at home.
I connect via a wireless connection.
These problems occur when running on battery and when plugged in.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
ThreeIsles

Since RDC is not an Apple product, you should post your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac version of RDC:

Formatted for mac; Connect to PC?

My iPod touch is formatted for mac. Can I safely connect it to a PC and sync from the iTunes on that PC?

Only PC formatted iPods can be dumped music from a PC.
As PC formatted iPod can be synced with both an Mac and a PC, your best bet is to move its contents to your mac with an iPod to Mac software.
Format your iPod to PC.
Put the music back to it from your Mac.
Transfer that music from your iPod to the PC.
Synchronize it with the PC.

Why can't I get Outlook for Mac connected to Network?

I have a friend who recently bought a MacBook Pro after having a pc forever. She had Apple migrate all her data over to the MacBook Pro. We then installed Office for Mac 2011. Her preference was/is to use Outlook for her emal. This only became known to me after I got her email set up and working in Mail. I then proceeded to set up Outlook with the exact same settings that I successfully used for Mail, i.e., incoming and outdgoing servers, ports, SSL, authentication (name and password), etc. There was a brief time when it was up and running, but inexplicably, this is no longer the case. The error message I get continues to point to authentication and her ISP's denial of services. Has anyone else had this problem? I've heard Microsoft's Outlook can be finicky.Any help would be appreciated.

I guess I was hoping that I might find other Mac users who have Office for Mac 2011, encountered the same issue, and had something to offer by way of a solution.
But I will also take your suggestion and post on the forum link you provided.
Thanks, btw, for the link.

Issues connecting Outlook 2011 for Mac to Exchange Server 2013

Could someone help me with the bellow please:
I have a Mac with outlook 2011 on it.
We have recently set up Exchange Server 2013, and all of the Windows Workstation just required the trusted root certificate to be installed and they were working.
However I have spent hours reading different forums trying to get this working on the Mac and no luck.
The auto discover does not work when setting up the exchange email, therefore I have also tried setting up manually but it still will not connect to the server.

Lost connection with Time Capsule (Office for Mac programmes run down)

My colleague and I work at the office with 2 Macbooks. Both are connected wirelessly to the Time Capsule, which we use as a shared hard disk. We use Office 2008 for Mac. Now Word and Excel run down often after of little things like doing a search or cutting and pasting. I get the spinning ball can only do a forced quit to end the program. This is frustrating and time consuming!
A friend told me to change my UID, cause my colleague and I both have the same UID (501) at our Macbooks. He downloaded Server Admin Tools to change my UID into 1001 with Work Group Manager. But when I arrived at the office this morning I didn't have a connection with the Time Capsule. To be able to work I changed the UID back to 501 again (but now I can't open excel document inless I drag them to the hard disk of my Macbook).
The friend is not a Apple professional so he doens’t know how to help me anymore. Does anyone else have a suggestion?

Temporarily, try connecting an Ethenret cable from your Mac to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule
Open AirPort Utility and Click Manual Setup

BE 3000 with Jabber (for Mac) and webex connect integration problems

Hi,
This is my first question on the forum so please be gentle!
I have a customer who has a Business Edition 3000 and they have purchased WebEx connect and Jabber integration to go with it.
My problem is I am having difficulty getting the setup to work and I have a number of questions on how to set this up. Most of the docs on Cisco's website seem to be related to either CUCME or full CUCM, but not a lot on BE 3000. My questions are below:
1. I have been reading the documentation for WebEx connect and it states to set the IP address of the BE 3000 server in the Configuration>Additional Services>Unified Communications>Voicemail tab. This is currently on the network with a 192.168.x.x address however. My predecessor put this IP address in the WebEx configuration page but I'm not sure this will work with a private IP as I don't know how this communicates back. The documentation isn't very clear on this. Does this have to be a public IP address / FQDN for it to work?
2. Are there any SRNDs for this type of setup that could help? Again, looking through the website hasn't turned anything up yet.
Note:
we are using the following software:
Jabber for MAC:
uc-client-mac-8.6.7.20127.fcs.zip
MAC OS:
OSX 10.8.3
BE 3000:
MCS7890C1-BE8
8.6.4.10000-15.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Jason

Hi - I have done this via the admin portal but still cannot get the Jabber client for Mac to register for voice. The Windows version works fine for the same user and CUCM device. Are there any other settings that need to be enabled specific to the Mac client?
Thanks.

Configure Jabber for Mac with local CUCM and WebEx Connect

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has been able to configure the Jabber for Mac 8.6.2 client to use the WebEx Connect presence server with a local CUCM and Unity Connection servers. The preferences accounts tab does not show or allow the addition of the voice services. I have added from a working local CUCM preferences plist file what I believe are the correct entries however I still cannot see the accounts on the preferences tab. We currently do not have a local cisco presence server hence the requirement to trial the WebEx Connect server as I can't get past the first configuration step without it.

paul

How do I connect my online outlook account to Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011

I have been trying to connect them, but it is telling me that my "command is not valid in this state" or my "security settings are not valid"
I am using POP and I am putting in the following:
username
password
pop.outlook.com
smtp.outlook.com

If you are using Outlook that comes with Office 2011 for Mac you should be using MS Exchange settings not trying to connect using POP
In Outlook add a new account and just input your [email protected] and the correct password for that account and let Outlook take care of all the other settings. It is a good idea to make sure all of the Office programs are updated to the newest update.

IPod formatted for windows, connected to mac accidentally

I have an iPod video, 30GB. I formatted it for use with my windows laptop.
Then, my mother hooked it up to her macbook pro. No syncing took place and it didn't show up in iTunes. However, now neither machine will show the iPod in iTunes. The windows machine, on connection to the iPod, brings up an error message saying the iPod is corrupted. When connected to the Mac, the iPod spontaneously crashes iTunes even before it opens.
Through a series of unfortunate events, much of my music is not on hard drives aside from my iPod, so any help resolving this issue without restoring the iPod would be greatly appreciated.

Mac Os X will read Fat 16, Fat32(the windows default for iPod) .
I believe it will read, but not write to NTFS.
Windows can not read or write to HFS(Mac OS X format and iPod for Macs) drives.

HP laserjet P1100 wireless connection for mac

Hoping for a quick response.... I have a Mac with 10.8.5 and I have purchased an HP Laserjet P1100 wireless printer. I have tried installing the drivers to print wireless...ly with no success. I have taken time out to type this message because I have not been able to find someone who has had the same issue in the internet. I need a walk thru because there are many steps where the issue may be occuring. Your written installation documentation conflicts with your User Guide PDF file. Cord or no cord during driver installation for wireless connection??? Was lost after #5 page 18 on the User Guide PDF file.
I figured it out. Your directions are misleading and not up to date. Cord is not an issue but needed for entire install process. At one point I'm in my system prefs then I'm on my web browser where I found Bonjour which added the network to my printer choices so now I can print wirelessly... hopefully I don't have to do that again because I'm not sure of the steps I took. Fairly complex set up.

Hey @matt4,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you have a Mac OS X 10.8.5 and a new HP Laserjet P1100 series printer and are looking for quick and easy wireless configuration steps. I just have one question for you:
Do you have a P1100 or a P1102w?
What's my Model Number?
I'm going to assume that you have a Laserjet P1102w. The steps for wireless configuration of a Laserjet P1102w are a bit confusing on Mac OS X 10.8 as you need to use the generic Apple Airprint driver because there is no 'Full Feature Software and Driver' installation for that Operating System. In saying that, I will try my best to give you easy steps to reference should you need to configure your printer again on the wireless network.
How to Connect the Printer to the Network:
Step 1: Install the Generic Mac Printer Driver:
1. Turn your printer on
2. Plug your USB cable from the printer directly into your Mac
3. Click on the Apple menu, and then click System Preferences
4. Click Print & Scan and make sure your printer is in the list of available devices.
5. If your printer is not listed, click the plus () sign at the bottom left pane, click the name of your USB printer, and then click Add.
Step 2: Connect the Printer to the Wireless Network:
I've added the video above so you can view these step-by-step instructions.
Click the Apple icon (), and then click System Preferences.
Click Print & Scan.
Click Open Print Queue, and then click Printer Setup.
Click the Utility tab, and then click Open Printer Utility.
Click HTMLConfig.
Click the Networking tab, and then click Wireless from the list on the left.
Under Communication Mode, click Infrastructure, select your network SSID from the Available Network Names (SSID) list, and then click the << button.
From the Security Mode pop-up menu under Authentication, click WEP or WPA/WPA2. Your selection depends on the wireless security protocol your network uses.
Note: If your network does not have wireless security, leave the Security Mode set to Open System (No Authentication).
Type your WEP/WPA/WPA2 key in the appropriate field, and then click Apply.
In the confirmation box, click OK, and then close the HTML Config and Print Queue windows.
Step 3: Delete the USB connected printer, and then add the wireless connected printer:
In the Print & Scan window under Printers, click your printer name, and then click the Minus sign () to remove it.
NOTE: This removes the USB connection from the list so that the only entry for your printer is the wireless connection.
Disconnect the USB cable from the printer and the computer.
Under Printers, click the Plus sign ().
Select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add
Once your printer is configured for Bonjour, if you have other Mac OS X computers that you want to use with this network printer you do not have to run all these steps again. You simply make sure that the other Mac computers are all connected to the same network that you have set your printer up on and just open Print & Scan. Under Printers click the () plus sign and select your printer name with Bonjour as the Kind, and then click Add.
You can reference all of this information in: Setting Up the Printer for a Wireless Network for the HP LaserJet Pro P1102w Printer
Let me know if these steps help clear up any confusion for you. Good luck!

I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it?

I have an external hardrive for MAC, I needed to save something from my work computer so I can pass it on to my MAC, it requiered me to re-format my external HD and now when I connected to my MAC I only have "read only rights". How do I fix it? I run my Itnues from this external and now my library is gone. Luckily I have it saved somewhere else, which is not a problem, but I won't be able to write to this HD for right now. I can't see an option to give those permission back.

Unless what you have to transfer is enormous, skip the external HD altogether and use a USB flash drive; you can get them with capacities to 128GB. Format the flash drive as FAT32 or ExFAT as LowLuster suggests so it can be read and written to on both PC's and your Mac.
