Remote Desktop Issues. Works from PC to PC but not Surface to PC.

I have a fully upgraded Surface RT/8.1. I installed the app for remote desktop. I have read all of the installation and setup info that I can find. I have a laptop with windows 7 home premium and my main pc that is Windows 7 Pro. I can
use my laptop's remote desktop to control my desktop fine but I get control my main pc with my Surface. It tries to initiate but then says "Can't connect to the remote PC. There seems to be a problem with the remote PC. Contact technical
support or ask your network administrator for help." "Close".
Controlling Main PC with Laptop = fine.
Controlling Main PC with Surface = not working.
Please help. Thank you.

Exactly my trouble, losing information added, Outlook is overriding phone information.

Is it possible to get Remote Desktop to work from my Surface 2 to a local PC running Vista?

Is it possible to get Remote Desktop to work from my Surface 2 to a local PC running Vista?
I keep getting "cannot find PC" entering IP or PC name
but as a test I have set up my PC to do web hosting, and I can browse to the IP address using desktop IE and see my local web pages.
I've just found a reference that says it has to be Business Vista.
Why would Microsoft put such a STUPID restriction in?
I think this Surface thing is going to go back if so.
What about Win8 64 Pro? Will that work?

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
Yeah, windows 8 pro can connect to surface 2. There is detailed article guide for it, please check below link.

Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection.

JDBC/JSP/MySQL Code works from my local machine, but not on server

Hi there!
I've been struggling with this problem for a while.
I have a database from which I need to read and display some data on a browser. (The database is set up for remote access).
I'm using the following JSP/JDBC code to do that.
Class.forName ("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
out.println(" Connecting to DB...Pls. Wait ");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("url","user","pwd");
if(con.isClosed())
out.println(" " +"Could NOT connect to MySQL Database...");
else out.println(" CONNECTED !!! ");
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
results = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM TableName" );
When I run this of my local machine, it works fine. But when I upload it to a server, it doesn't run through. I dont get either the connected or not connected message.
I tried this piece of code that I found online to check the driver.
/*Driver d = (Driver)Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver").newInstance();
out.println(" Got a driver instance. ");
if (d.acceptsURL(url)) out.println(" The driver does accept my URL");
else out.println(" The driver doesn't like the URL I'm trying"); */
I ran it off the server and it worked. I got the outputs --Got a driver instance and The driver does accept my URL
I'm unable to figure out why this code can be run locally from my machine, but not from a different location. The database is NOT on my machine.
Any inouts will be really appreciated.
I'm using an Apache Tomcat container and the database is MySQL.

Just wanted to mention
The database is on another (3rd) machine.
So I have
1. My local machine
2. Database hosted on a 2nd machine
3. Place I'm moving my code to (its basically a hosting account provided by an external company)
I can access the database from my local machine. However, when I move the code over to another machine, it doesn't work.

X220 tablet - sound suddenly stopped working from speakers and headphone (but not bluetooth)

X220 tablet (about 2.5 yrs old, out of warranty) was working completely fine last night; this morning, no sound is coming from the laptop, either through speakers or through headphones (audio jack). I am, however, able to get sound through a bluetooth-connected speaker.
I had hoped this was a software issue. Tried uninstalling/installing all sound devices, updating BIOS, updating drivers, system restore to previous date, rebooting a million times, etc. No joy.
When I run the sound troubleshooter, it says that no speaker, headset, or headphone appears to be plugged in. The sound icon has a little red circle/white X next to it. When I try to plug in headphones, nothing happens -- does not seem to detect the event. When I press the mute and volume buttons on the tablet, no response.
Also, under Device Manager -> Sound, video and game controllers, it lists only "Bluetooth Hands-free Audio" and "Intel Display Audio". I don't think either of these is the normal X220 audio driver, is it? What else should be there? I downloaded the Conexant Audio Software from Lenovo's site (this is what came up when I searched for audio drivers for the X220 tablet), and tried to install it, but halfway through, it said the install failed because it couldn't locate the device for the driver.
This sounds like it's a hardware problem -- any way to verify? Also, which piece of hardware exactly? Is it the sound card (that's presumably integrated into the motherboard --> no easy fix)? I'm guessing it's not the speakers themselves since the headphone jack is also affected, but what is my best line of testing at this point to confirm that? If it IS the sound card, any suggestions on the best fix?
Many thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was wrong - I did upgrade to a 3 yr warranty (had forgotten about this) so hopefully it's covered!
Thanks for having me double check!

Why does eprint work from my gmail account but not from my hotmail account?

Hi,
i have a photosmart premium C310 series and have a problem with eprint! When I sent a word file (or any other file) from my gmail account all works fine, but when I sent the same file from my hotmail account i get a 'Delivery Status Notification (failure)' and my mail doesn't reach the printer.....!!??
Anyone any idea? Thx
Grtz Erik

Hi schummi737,
Sounds like there are some settings in hotmail which is causing the communication issue. You will need to contact Hotmail technical support to help you make changes to the settings.

HT201335 AirPlay Mirroring is working from iPad and iPhone, but not from Macbook Pro. How to fix?

I can see and activate AirPlay Mirroring from Macbook but nothing displays on the TV when mirroring is activated (screen changes from Apple TV menu to blank screen only). I have 3rd generation Apple TV and a brand new Macbook Pro, so AirPlay Mirroring is supported by both devices. I can display video content on the TV from my MacBook from iTunes by selecting to display on Apple TV instead of my computer, but it does not work for mirroring.
For reference, when I activate AirPlay Mirroring from iPad or iPhone, it works perfectly and content is displayed on my TV.
Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

Handoff works from Macbook to IOS but not the other way

If i open an app on my Macbook Air, i get the handoff to my iPhone 5s no problem. But it doesn't work the other way - when i open an app on my iPhone nothing happens with my Macbook.
So i'm guessing my setup must be OK for it to work one way. What could stop it from working the other way?

must have iOS 8 which releases monday

Mac Mini Losing Wireless - Possible Remote Desktop Issue?

For months I've been using a Mac Mini (1.66 GHz Core Duo, 1Gb Ram, OS 10.4.8) as my wireless access point. I mainly connect to it using my Titanium Powerbook (667 mhz G4, 1Gb Ram, OS 10.4.8) and have had no connection problems. Friends and co-workers also connect without issue. Recently I upgraded to a MacBook Pro (Core Duo 2GHz, 512 MB Ram, OS 10.4.8). After the Migration Assistant was finished transferring my info from the Titanium, I connected to the Mini via Airport and started up Apple Remote Desktop on the MacBook Pro. I was prompted by Remote Desktop to update the client software on the Mini and did so (I don't remember the exact wording of the message, I just clicked on the default ). The 'upgrade' happened wirelessly, with the Administrator on the Macbook Pro uploading a package to the Mini. Immediately thereafter, I lost wireless connectivity with the Mini. When I went to check the Sharing preferences on the Mini, the Sharing preference pane had disappeared. After restarting both machines with no luck, I re-installed the Sharing pane on the Mini using Pacifist. Now, the Sharing preferences have returned, but when I turn on Internet Sharing, I am able to connect, but I loose the wireless connection after about 10 or 15 minutes. The connection just hangs, and although the network (named 'Mini') still appears in the Airport dropdown menu, if I manually disconnect and re-connect, I get the message 'There was an error joining the network "Mini" .' If I stop internet sharing on the Mini and restart it again, I can again connect with no problem, until the connection hangs, and so on. I am left to assume that Remote Desktop as somehow affected the wireless sharing but can't fix it. I have repaired permissions, zapped the pRam, and re-installed the client software. Any ideas?
Mac Mini 1.66 GHz Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I have a laptop with AirRadar and other stumblers, I have a Linksys WET54G bridge which has a "site survey" feature, and on the iPhone I used eWiFi. Everything shows I'm on a clear channel and the signal is strong at the mini's location. (The WET54G is my temp solution to get the mini working, cannibalized from my main computer). The router is in the next room (approx 25' away), and other devices in the same room as the mini can see the router. I've moved the mini several feet with no improvement.
Bottom line, I'm pretty confident that interference or dead zone are not issues.
I have 3 users on the mini, and all experience the problem, but I will try a new user. Thanks for the suggestion.
I Googled some articles that suggested resetting PRAM, the PMU, and/or the System Management Controller (SMC). I haven't had a chance to try this yet, but will post results tonight.

Can't Connect with Remote Desktop, It worked before!

Hello. We currently bought alot of seats of Remote Desktop to connect to computer not located in the office. During the time spent here at this office, all the remote desktop connections worked fine. Once the machines were moved up to the new business location, we tried to connect to the machine. We changed the IP's to the ISP new ip, which the server then port forwarded the correct ports to the specific ip for those machines.
We open up Remote Desktop on the computer, with the scanner, and type in the ip address where the computers are going to be stored. Once the ip is in, we can see the computers have been located on the scanner. When then select a computer we want to observe/control/curtain and typied in the username and password, which are all correct. It then says " connecting to "theipaddress" for about 1 min, then displays an error message saying "Connection failed to ipaddress".
something that ive noticed, is that in the scanner window the icon is grey, instead of its little blue monitor and only displays the ip address in the name field, but not the computer name like it did when we ran it thru the lan. question is what are we doing wrong.
can someone please tell us the correct ports to open on what side
what are the ports on the server side that need to be opened on the router/server?
are there any ports on the client side that need to be opened on the router/server?
please help me.

both udp and tcp, but the problem you're having may be the same one that stumped me for a couple of hours.
You can't communicate with a machine that has gone into deep sleep mode. If the screensaver is running, you're okay ... but once that cuts out and the screen goes blank, it's out of touch.
In ARD 3 you can tell whether or not it's available by the colour of the little 'monitor' icon to the left of the the listing in the Scanner or All Computers windows.

Am I glad I kept Windows desktop as without it I would be scre**ed now
What is going on with this latest update as its like a return to Windows with things crashing or hanging up every few minutes????
On a MacBook Air that has not been updated everything still works so what has 10.6.8 done and why won't the restore to 10.6.7 work?
Steve

None of those things you mentioned were what I suggested.
I'm guessing the "ctrl click in printer preferences" means you Reset the Printing System?
If so, that is what I would have suggested if deleting it by selecting the ( - ) button and then adding it with the ( + ) button.
But, if HP has a fix, it likely needs to update its drivers.

•I have just bought a Toshiba external hard disk to back up all my work from my macbook and its not working! I have checked the hard disk

•I have just bought a Toshiba external hard disk to back up all my work from my macbook and its not working! I have checked the hard disk

its not working: (sorry for being so ambiguous), the computer recognises it, it comes up on my desktop, when i open it and try and drag a file across, it is unable to go into the drive, there is just a symbol indicating 'no' (i've read the instructions from Tosheba and there is no help). I have not partitioned the drive using the GUID partition scheme - i dont know what this means?!

I have Photoshop Elements 9. I downloaded the plug in 6.0 and it works on the RAW files from Canon EOS 60D, but not with Canon EOS 70D. I cannot download higher versions of plug in, because I have Windows Vista and it is not supported.

You could try using the DNG converter 8.7 on Windows vista:
<Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
<Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 8.7>
You then need to watch this video to get hang of it:

Hope this helps.

Remote desktop failure. Have bought the app, but connection failed. Have bought the disable adds, but still getting them. What do I write:

Remote desktop failure. Have bought the app, but connection failed. Have bought the disable adds, but still getting them. What do I write:
in the username field, in the port field and in the password fiels and in the domain field and in the field where 3389 is. Have tried my computer username, my Computer password and the name of the network name (domain). Have also tried the network password.

Are you referring to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs? It sounds to me like you're referring to a remote connect app you purchased for use on your iPhone to connect to a Windows system, and if so you should start by contacting the support resources for the app you purchased, and if you can't get help there try asking in the iPhone forum.
Regards.
