Remote session via RDGW fine with Windows - not possible with Mac ...?

Hi,
I've configured a fresh single RDS Server (all roles on one Server including Gateway) based on Windows Server 2012 R2. Everything works fine when we use Windows 7 with current RDP Client to connect via Gateway/HTTPS.
When we use a Mac (OS X 10.9.3) with current Version of "Microsoft Remote Desktop" (8.0.7), no RDP Connection is established. Error message: "Unable to connect to remote PC. Please verify ...". Login on <external.domain.name>/rdweb
works fine and I'm able to download the .rdp-file and open it with Microsoft Remote Desktop, but after a few seconds the error above appears.
I did some traffic analyzing on our Firewall and it seems that the Mac try to connect on port 3389 on the public ip of the RDS Server, which is blocked. I manually configured a RDP Connection with Gateway - same error. The log of Microsoft Remote Desktop:

I remember that there was an issue to establish SSO based on DNS resolve (external Domain Name to internal ip address via Gateway Connection); but we resolved this with a new DNS Zone. But why is it fine on Windows, but not on Mac OS X with Microsoft
Remote Desktop? I wondering why the MRD is not using the Gateway Connection to resolve the RDP host ... ?
Many thanks,
Erik

I experience the same. IMac 27', bought just 6 weeks ago (2011), then updated from SL to Lion and now the fun begins. Crashes, crashes, crashes.... Repaired volume yesterday, repaired access rights, now even in safe mode it crashes after 2-3 mins and I am in endless loop of boot-crash-boot-..., need to pull the plug.
Brand new hardware, literally unused ( some photos, nothing more), 1.700 €.... Got an iPhone, an iPad as well but I can't tell you how disappointed I am now! As someone said before, I bought an iMac to use it and not read kernel logs, repair volumes, search for help for days....

The remote desktop session host configuration & Remote session shadowing options missing in Windows server 2012.

Hi All,
I am using a Windows server 2012 Standard. When i leave my session idle for more than 20 min it disconnects and post more 20 minutes my session is logged off.
I know this setting can be changed from Remote desktop session host configuration in Windows server 2008 R2. But this option "Remote desktop session host configuration" is not there in Windows server 2012. Does any one have an idea where do i go
and edit these settings in the Server 2012 o/s ?
Also the Remote session shadowing option is also not available when i right click a user in the task manager. Any idea on an alternate method in Windows server 2012 ?

Exactly WHERE are the W2K12 R2 equivalent GPO settings to W2K8 R2 GPO settings of "Set time limit for disconnected sessions" and "set time limit for active but idle Remote Desktop Services
sessions"? Microsoft changed the remote desktop/terminal services around.
Appreciate it.

Error (-45054) for WINDOWS not for a mac

For the past three days i have been trying to download app updates via the iTunes WINDOWS software program without success due to the error -45054. I have done many a search but can only find answers on how to fix the problem on mac computers. I am running windows 8 (yes i know it ***** you don't have to tell me)
There are a total of two users on the computer in question. However the error only occurs in the account of one of the two users. User #1 has no problems whatsoever and is a administrator. User #2, also listed as a administrator always gets the -45054 error.
Files are all set as shared with everyone with full control.
i have tried to remove iTunes and reinstall but still no help. Any suggestions are appreciated as long as they are for WINDOWS not for mac

I tried submitting this same problem as a feature request and/or bug report.
Unfortunately, and somewhat disconcertingly, the Captivate Bug Report form also doesn't work. No matter how thoroughly I entered my request, I got these error messages:

Can load text file in Windows - not on the Mac?

I have some code that loads a text file into an array that works fine in windows, but fails on the Mac I'm sure it's a path issue but I've spent several hours trying to work this out.
Windows code works fine:
    var textPath = "c:\\temp\\textfile.txt";
     try {
        var myFile = File(textPath);
        var mymenuItems=[];
        var menuItems=[];
        myFile.open('r');
        while(!myFile.eof){
            mymenuItems.push(myFile.readln());
        myFile.close();
Mac Code Fails
var textPath = '/User/wizbowes/Desktop/text.txt';
     try {
        var myFile = new File(textPath); //tried both with and without new - same effect
        var mymenuItems=[];
        var menuItems=[];
       myFile.open('r');
   while(!myFile.eof){
            mymenuItems.push(myFile.readln());
When debugging on the mac myFile.eof shows true straight after I open the file and therefore never enters the loop to populate the array
What on earth am I doing wrong?

1. For files on your desktop you can use a shortcut.
var textPath = '~/Desktop/text.txt';
2. Make sure the file object is valid before you open for reading. The new keyword is not really needed it just make clear in the code that you are creating a new file object. However just creating a file object does not means that the file already exists. You could have an invalid path.
try {
        var myFile = new File(textPath);
        if(myFile.exists){
           // rest of the code
3. If you don't want to check that the file exists you could check the return of the file.open() method. It should return true if it opened the file when opening an existing file.
var openSuccess = myFile.open('r');
if(openSuccess){
    // some code that reads from the file here

Cannot output audio via headphone jacks with Mac Mini (2012) and Boot Camp

Hi all,
I have a brand new (2012) Mac Mini with a Boot Camp partition running Windows 7. It's connected directly to an HDTV via HDMI cable. I have external speakers hooked through the headphone jack on the back. The speakers work fine if I'm in the Mac environment, but I cannot get the audio output to go through the headphone jack while in Boot Camp/Windows- it will only go through the speakers on the TV. Any suggestions? I think I've downloaded every driver I can think of, and the installation of Windows on the Boot Camp partition went well otherwise. Thanks.
John

Nevermind, I was missing one driver. Installed it, fixed.

Folders created in Windows not deleting on Mac

Hello,
I recently moved all my windows data to the Mac. After reorganising, when I tried to delete few folder, they are not getting deleted.
I tried dragging them to the TRASH, they are just lying down there and getting deleted even when I try the SECURE DELETE option in Mac.
How do I delete these folders/data.
Ajay.

Try a re-boot.
If that does not work, try:
Force the Trash to empty using the Option key:
This technique uses a hidden feature of Mac OS X to force the Trash to empty.
Perform the following steps in the order specified:
Press and hold the mouse button on the Trash icon in the Dock. The context menu for Trash will display.
Press and hold the Option key or the Shift-Option keyboard combination,
Select Empty Trash from the context menu for Trash.
Release the keys pressed and held in step 2.

Ps version running 13.1.2 windows not 13.05 Mac

I am a CC member on a Mac Just read about latest update decided to check verion running found out I am runnin 13.1.2Windows vers not 13.05 Mac version
Can I switch? is this why a suffer from freezing an quiting problems?

Photoshop 13.0.5 is for the perpetual-license of CS6, not for cloud subscribers.
However, I'm puzzled by your post in which you indicate you are "runnin 13.1.2Windows vers" on your Mac. Do you mean you install it in Parallels or some such Windows environment on your Mac?
In any event, your subscription license allows you to install both the Mac version and a Windows copy.
Personally I don't see any valid reason to want to run a Windows version on a Mac. It boggles the mind.

AirPort Works Fine with Mac OS, but cannot detect Networks on XP

I've used Boot Camp to install XP on my MBP and installed the necessary drivers etc. The Broadcom 802.11n wireless adapter does not detect any wireless networks when it's booted up with Windows XP, but works fine when booted up with OS X. I thought it was a problem with the driver so I reinstalled it but it still cannot detect any wireless networks. The message says "no available wireless networks found in range".
If networks can be detected using the Mac OS, why is it that when i switch to windows it fails? I'm new at this so can someone enlighten me please?

You might want to post this in the Boot Camp forum area:

This is rather amazing in as much as I have read at least 100 posts in the past 6-8 months from users with just the opposite issue complaining about Airport not working on Leopard but on XP.

Windows not Loading on Mac?

Not sure if this is a problem with Windows, Bootcamp or Parallels.
I have had Vista loaded on my MacBook in a separate partition for quite a few months and it all works fine. I went to load it the other day and it gets to the scrolling line on the Windows startup (just before the login screen) and stays there.
It's not frozen - the scrollbar still moves. This happens in Bootcamp and Parallels, so it looks like its a problem with the copy of Windows.
Anyone else had the same experience, and how did you fix it?

I would assume an issue with the HTML5 media player.
If those aren't working on Windows then it is possible that the proper codecs aren't installed.
You can try to disable the HTML5 media player and make Firefox use the Flash plugin.
You can do this by setting these two prefs to false on the <b>about:config</b> page:
*media.windows-media-foundation.enabled
*media.directshow.enabled

Remote control Sony video camera with Mac Mini?

Is it possible to connect an IR transmitter to a mac mini to be able to control a Sony camera from a remote location miles away? Specificaly, I want to be able to point my Sony IR remote control at my Mac Book Pro at home to control a video camera at work via the internet. Control features include focus, zoom, iris, White balance, etc. Is this possible? (The Sony camera comes with a remote control)

I never heard of such a device but there's a bunch of stuff in Google:
"Results 1 - 10 of about 611,000 for "long distance remote control."
Your best bet would probably be a telephone, with the person at the other end in the same room as the camera.

ITunes 11 - multiple open windows not possible?

I usually run iTunes with multiple windows open (double click the playlists and they open as new windows). At any given time I have 3 or 4 playlists open.
... doesn't seem to work any longer, am I overlooking something?

It took me a while, but I finally came up with a solution for this! It's not a perfect one for everybody (since you have to make hotkeys) but it works great if you use something like Alfred or Quicksilver to control iTunes already.
Basically, I wrote an AppleScript that detects if Repeat One is on. If it is, then the script very quickly disables it, skips to the next track, and turns it back on. Skipping then works just like it did with iTunes 10 and iDevices.
I put the scripts up for download here: iTunes 11: Restore track skipping with Repeat One turned on (OSX)
Hope this helps some people.

Task switching (APPLE+TAB) between apps and spotlight window not possible

Hi, I opened a spotlight window to search for some items by pressing ALTCMDSpace and ran my search query. Then I task switched to my other app to look at some info, but when I tried to task switch back to the open Spotlight window I was unable to do so. The only way to get back to it was either to Exposé or to press ALTCMDSpace again. Not a natural flow to the way I and most other people probably work. Is this normal/a feature? I am sure it wouldn't be hard for Apple to add the hook to show the Spotlight window in the Task List (CMD+TAB)

Hi, John.
Unfortunately, that's the way it works: You cannot Command-Tab to the Spotlight window. I see this as a design glitch, aka a "feature." As you note, it can be found using the Exposé "All Windows" (F9) function.
To let Apple know how you feel about this, I suggest you submit a Mac OS X Feedback. All Feedbacks are read and used to prioritize development investments.
Good luck!

Factory cond. restore or reinstall windows not possible

My laptop was running badly so I decided to restore to factory settings. At the finish of the 3 discs being read when restarting I got a fatal error message in VXD. I then tried to reinstall windows but get a message that a hard drive cannot be found. I now don't know what to do, any suggestions please?

Hi, I had this problem and some others here did also. The fix for me was running the battery all the way down so that the CMOS reset itself. One of the threads detailing that fix is here. Once you get the tablet back up, you can update the EFI to the latest firmware and that should hopefully prevent it from happening again.
