    Since you mention "commercial DVDs" I asume they use some kind of copy-protection.

  • 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?

  • How to remote access a pc from a mac using dyndns?

    Hi
    I am wanting to use my Mac to remotely log into my home pc (windows) I use to us windows remote access from my old laptop using a dyndns. But now having a mac I don't know how to access it. I tried the Microsoft remote access app for mac but couldn't get it to work? I don't understand the settings this required and couldn't find instructions online for setting it up
    Thanks in advance 

    Yes this is possible. Use the Windows XP "remote desktop" feature, and the "Remote Desktop Connection Client" for MacOS X provided by Microsoft.
    You can also use the free versions of VNC, which also allows cross-platform desktop remote control. See http://old.realvnc.com/support-free.html

  • A free way to control a windows PC from a Mac

    Hi all,
    My folks live a few hundred miles away, and I often need to help them with something on their Windows laptop. (Don't worry - their next machine will definitely be a Mac, now that they have played with my iMac!)
    I would like to be able to remotely control their machine from my Mac (similar to how this is achieved where I work using WinVNC)
    Ideally this software would be free, or a few dollars. Again, needs to be able to install on the Mac to control the windows PC. It will never need to operate in the other direction (i.e. they won't need to control my machine!)
    Can anyone help? I would be v grateful for the saved 'over the phone' support, and my parents would definitely appreciate it!!!
    Cheers, Chris

    The PC must be running Windows XP or Vista, and have Remote Assistance turned on. See:
    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/mobility/getstarted/remoteintro.mspx
    In their router (if any), port 3389 will need to be open and forwarded to the PC's internal IP address. See:

  • Remote Printing on 2012 from Mac

    Hi all,
    I'm having an issue trying to setup remote printing from a Mac running OS X 10.6.8 using the 'Remote Desktop Connection' app and connecting to my Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop Services server I have configured.
    The Mac is sitting on a completely different domain and network to the Remote Desktop Services server. I have turned on the 'Use a printer that is connected to this Mac' function within the Mac's Remote Desktop Connection application preferences however I cant
    see the printer on the Remote Server.
    I've made a few changes to Local and Group Policies to try get it working and had no success but perhaps I am not configuring these Policies correctly.
    Is anyone familiar with setting this up? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I've manged to get the printer to actually print however regardless of what I print from the RDS server the printer only printers out,

  • Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA

    Hi
    Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA.
    I have a server 2012 remote access gateway, with remote apps published(which uses single signon), behind a 2FA connection (web based) and want to know if its possible to allow macs to connect to the remote Apps behind it. i cannot permanently remove any
    of the above setup as it is a requirement.
    When i connect from a mac i can login to both the 2FA and remote access web pages and see all the apps but when i click on any app it downloads it to the mac and when i try to run it using Remote Desktop App for MAC i get an error :
    "httpendpointexception: 4, The non-proxy http connection failed to connect with the message: 500 internal Server Error."
    I have tried with 2fa turned off for testing and get the same result.Does it support 2012 TSGW server? does it support Remote desktop apps? as i cant find a definitive answer on either.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    From Error description it seems to be a communication issue between your Mac and your RD gateway server. If you connect from extranet, you may need Remote Desktop Gateway or a VPN/Direct Access connection to your intranet, or forward port 3389 on your router.
    500 Internal Server Error seems to be a HTTP related error. 
    The HTTP status code in IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0
    Also, please double check the settings if you have a RD gateway implemented in you intranet.
    http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/12/24/rd-gateway-in-windows-server.aspx
    In Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway pluggable authentication is also introduced. This allows custom authentication routines to be used with RD Gateway. For example building a two-factor solution on top of RD Gateway is now possible which allows doing token-authentication
    to the RD Gateway which works seamlessly with RD Web Access or RDP file launching.
    Please check below article for more information.
    Windows Server 2012 R2 is coming what does this add to RDS – VDI
    In addition, please provide the log file from the client for further research.

    Hope it helps!

  • Can I edit a project on one Mac remotely from another Mac?

    As far as I know, you can access and control a Mac from another Mac that is not on the same network, say if you are travelling with a MacBook Air and need to access files and applications on your iMac at home.
    I'm wondering if it's possible to work with Final Cut Pro X in this way. So you could access the project on an iMac from a MacBook Air, see the screen of the iMac and enjoy all the power of the iMac for editing and exporting in FCPX while controlling it from your MacBook Air.
    If so, that would be so convenient, whether it be while travelling or even when at home and wanting to make a quick adjustment to something from the MacBook Air resting on your lap.
    Has anyone here ever done this or know if it's possible?
    Thanks!

    There are ways you can access the iMac and the screen and the software but it's not useable as an editing platform. The response time over the Internet is way, way, way to slow. Plus no keyboard shortcuts work. Everything has to be mouse driven.

  • Setting up remote networking from my Mac to my Windows desktop.

    I have a Remote Desktop Client {RDC} for my Mac but have no real clue as to how I set up the Windows machine, any help ?

    There is a tab "Remote" on the Windows system's system properties. Simply enable remote desktop here. The Terminal services need to be running in order to work the remote desktop feature.

  • I can access my time capsule from my mac mini at work but my macbook can only access it from my home network. how do i fix this?

    I have a Mac Mini and a MacBook, both were configured at home to access the time capsule. I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home. The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
    Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow. Accessing the same files from an older HP laptop is as fast as accessing its own hard drive. How can I speed up the accessing of these files from my apple products. One would think they would work fast and the 'windows' computers would take minutes to map the drive each time... 
    Thanks for any help.

    I have since moved the mini to work to use there and it has no issues looking up files on the time capsule which remains at home.
    This cannot happen by magic though.. you must have configured the mini to access the TC remotely.. which method are you using, BTMM and iCloud??
    The macbook whoever can only access the time capsule from within the home network. I can't seem to find what I may have done differently. Can anybody help?
    How is the Macbook configured to access the TC remotely?? If you are trying to use BTMM and iCloud, then it might be a case that with the mini running the connection cannot be done by more than one computer at a time.. this is generally the case although I do not know if that is specifically true of BTMM method. Try turning off the mini and leave it off.. (off not standby)... then reboot the TC when you are at home.. and then try and connect the laptop to the TC the next morning from work. See if it is then able to capture the connection.. if so start up the mini and I suspect it now will not be able to connect.. that will prove that the TC cannot cope with two remote connections.
    There also could be another factor in here. If you are accessing the laptop via the same router as the mini is on.. then actually you cannot have two users mount the same files on a TC.. from the same IP address.. as far as the TC is concerned both devices have identical IP, that is the public IP of the work location router.
    If you happen to not be using BTMM then the situation is even easier.. you cannot make two different devices connect to the same network resource using the same port. That is the failing of the NAT system.. one device uses the port then it cannot be used by a second device. You will need to do some fancy footwork and use a different port.
    Anyhow tell us exactly how you are doing remote access.. otherwise I am just guessing.
    Not sure if your allowed to post two questions, but it's may be related. I find that accessing the files on the time capsule from the mac mini or the macbook is very slow.
    Are you talking about files you are hosting on the TC?? Not Time Machine backups??
    Can you tell me exactly how you are accessing the TC.. please do a test..
    Copy a file to the TC and from the TC using the Laptop.. Use a single very large file, eg 1GB movie file.
    Give me a read and write speed.. you can use activity monitor to give me an aprox average speed as well as peak.
    Do the same test from the same computer with wireless turned off running ethernet.
    Then do the tests from the mini.. same ones.. copy large file to and from the TC by ethernet and by wireless.. when using ethernet make sure wireless is off.
    I strongly recommend you set IPv6 to link local only for your wireless and ethernet setup in the Mac.
    eg
    Now do the test from the HP laptop and give me the results from that.
    Is the issue wireless only.. ??
    Then you might need to spend a bit of time fixing the wireless in the Macs.. you can run wireless diagnostics in Mavericks.

  • Can't Find Server at... error -- only one site, works from non-Macs fine

    Greetings:
    I have been getting a "Can't Find Server at www.teocommunications.com" error in Firefox for over a month now. I thought initially that it was a problem with the DNS entries and maybe the record had not proliferated though the DNS servers of my ISP or something of that nature. This is not the case.
    I have tried to bring my site up in Safari and it yields the same result.
    Did an nslookup, and everything resolves fine. Every once in awhile the site comes up on my Mac, but most of the time it gives the error. At all times, if you try to go to it from a Windows machine or my smart phone it works fine 100% if the time. My wife's Windows Vista machine with Firefox brings it up fine 100% of the time (she is on the very same network). I can get it to work for some reason if I totally reboot the Mac or reset the router (but the router is obviously not the problem)... it has to be something in the Mac OS (10.6 and 10.5) that is going on. I have eliminated all other possible problems. Curiously enough, it seems to also be a Leopard (not just Snow Leopard) issue... I can reproduce the error at my school (which is on a totally different network than my home) on the Mac Pro Intels they have which are still on Leopard.
    I am on the latest version of Snow Leopard on a brand new Mac Mini.
    This problem is only with my site (that I know of) but again it happens ONLY on Macs with Leopard or Snow Leopard. I am very annoyed by this problem and because it is my professional work site, it is imperative that I find the solution and soon.
    Hope someone can help.
    APPLE, please look into possible configuration or DNS issues in Leopard/Snow Leopard, as before I posted here, I did try several 'fixes' for issues like this for Firefox before I noticed that Safari was getting the same issue and ANY OTHER PLATFORM sees my page just fine!

    Hi Guys:
    It sometimes works from my Mac as well. I can get it to load if I reboot the Mac and then in a few reloads it is back to the same error.
    I did try openDNS as well and it did not still load. I can pretty much guarantee that it is not the DNS records, it is something going on between my Mac (or the Pros at school). Other sites from my same host work fine, my domain is setup exactly the same. They do use ISPConfig... and it could be something with that program, but I can not seem to confirm any problems there.
    I reset my router and the site is currently loading again on my Mac, but I can tell you it will be throwing the error in the very near future because that is one fix that worked before and it worked exactly two loads when I switched to a different wireless access point that is not my router.
    SO, the fact that it loads one to up to twenty times on someone's Mac is not enough to reproduce the problem. It takes several reloads and then the problem magically re-appears. This is why the fact that it is working right now on my machine is not good enough to call it fixed.
    Try to reload my site several times and see if it gives you the error.
    I have (as I stated) tried a lot of what is being suggested here and re-tried it, but nothing fixes it for very long
    I appreciate the help and hopefully we can figure out why the situation exists.
    Thanks for the help so far and please feel free to keep suggesting ideas, but for reference I have tried:
    1. modifying settings in Firefox (although it does not matter what browser I use,the result is always the same)
    2. resetting the router and DSL modem
    3. modifying the /etc/hosts file on my Mac
    4. dscacheutil -flushcache
    5. using openDNS instead of my ISP (which is AT&T)
    6. removing the DNS settings and using the router settings
    7. turning off airport and back on after 30 seconds
    8. renewing my DHCP clients
    9. Signning onto a different wireless access point (which is actually a new ISP that I am going with and so they are a totally different network and subnet).. they are setup all over town with wireless access. -- pretty cool actually.
    None of this seems to fix the problem loading only my site. Since I do have access to the hosting provider (I work with them)... I have done some things on the hosting side too. All to no avail.

  • How can I move select photos from my mac to my macbook air?

    I would like to know the best, quickest, easiest way to move photos from my Mac to my macbook air?  I have tried Migration Assistant--was going to take 4 hours and I don't want to share all files, just photos.  I also went into System Pref. on each computer, clicked "Sharing" and attempted to allow access to both computers by setting up a Public folder but only some of the photos transferred.  I also get a message on my mb air telling me I don't have access to the pictures on the other Mac, even though I have granted access to "Everyone" in my network.   Also, I've updated both computers and rebooted them, to no avail. 
    We have a wireless network, if that makes a difference?
    Thanks!--have a client meeting in 25 minutes and need some photos--HELP!!

    1st solution
    One great features is AirDrop if you connect both Mac on the same WiFi.
    Go to finder, on the top of the left list you get : All my files, AirDrop, ...
    Click on AirDrop on both computer, you will see on both computer each other. Then just drag and drop files from one computer to the other.
    2nd solution
    Use an USB drive ... ok physical support are so boring ...
    3rd solution
    Share folders between your computer but with right rights on it ... can take a long time to explain ... ask if you wan't this solution
    4th solution : iPhoto
    if you store your pictures in iPhoto you can share your library between several iPhoto.
    Launch iPhoto on both Mac and on the source's one activate sharing library
    5th solution : iCloud
    If you have iCloud configured on both Mac and you store your photo in iPhoto both will get the last 1000th photos
    6th solution : dropbox
    Store your photo in dropbox and they will synchronize on both Mac
    7 ....
    Ask if you want some more

  • Sony EX XDCAM from FCP MAC cannot be recognized by PC

    Not sure if this is a quick fix, but my CGI guy - who works by remote - cannot get his PC to recognize my XDCAM EX 108024p clips from my MAC - which I have exported as MXFs using the SONY XDCAM export option in Export>using qt conversion. I sent him the link to the driver, and he said it installed fine - but still his computer was not recognizing the MXF file. Does he need a program to convert?
    Basically, I am looking for a lossless way to give him my Sony EX1 files that he can work with on his PC (in studio max) and then export to a lossless format that I don't have to render in FCP.
    Any tips or suggestions most welcome. This is my first time editing a program with EX 1 files in FCP.

    I'm using the Sony XDCAM transfer 2.5.1 to bring in the clips from card into FCP. The clip browser I downloaded yesterday and I tried to get it to recognize an MXF file that I had exported from FCP using the sony xdcam plug-in (but it did not). I guess I can only use the MP4s to convert to MXF? Is there a difference going from FCP compared to Clip Browser? I want to be able to export cut sequences so that the CGI guy can composite...

  • I have no audio from the mac mini to the hdtv via hdmi cable.

    This started immediately after the latest "apple software update"  I updated it automatically on 6/24/2011.  I have an elgato eye tv connected to the mac mini that provides BOTH audio and video through the HDMI to the HDTV.  The elgato eye tv works fine.  I get both audio and video. 
    However, I only get picture and NO sound from the mac mini to the HDTV via the HDMI output.  No streaming audio either - only picture. Ive tried pandora, netflix, hulu, etc.  I even put in a DVD into the mac mini and again I receive a picture through THE HDMI but no audio.
    I've shutdown and rebooted.  I've disconnected power and reconnected power.  I've gone into the system preferences, audo, and highlight the SONY HDTV as the output.  But still nothing.  I do notice when I toggle between the "internal speakers' and the HDMI option, the audio arrow on the lower right is bright blue during the internal speakers option but is grey when the HDMI option is connected. 
    I called apple care.  Since I'm 98 days past my 90 days of coverage there is no help via human being.  They offered me to set an appointment at the local apple store but they suggested I bring down my 60 inch HDTV with me to the store to be sure it is not a "Sony" issue.  I hope someone can help me resolve this without having to put this mac mini on craigslist and taking a $ hit.
    This was not an issue yesterday.  It became an issue after the latest and greatest "update" to prepare our machines for the lovely lion.
    Thanks.

    I have the same issue.  I also have the 2010 mac mine and use hdmi for audio to my receiver.  I get audio from eye tv with no problems, but it seems to lock the path so that only it can use that path for audio.  If I restart the computer and do not start eye tv everything else works with hdmi audio.  I have tried using the system settings and changing the source there but it doesnt seem to matter.
