Try, in preferences, resetting 64 bit to 32 bits. Should work fine. the older vidoes, etc will not work with 64 bit. Had the same problem/scare. Let us know if this helps and works!

MacBook with OS X and remote desktop to Windows server

I am curious if an apple MacBook running OS X 10.4 can be used as a remote desk top to access a Windows 2000 server. It is easy to do so with a Windows PC with Windows XP. However this necessitates carrying a Windows machine while travelling. I like the MacBook Pro I have and would like to use it for remote access. I do not want to install Windows on the MAC even though I can do it with my MacBook Pro.
Any thoughts? Or are there sittes addressing this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Install VNC server software on the Windows server and control with ARD, or just use Microsoft's own Remote Desktop Connection for Mac.

I have disabled Silverlight after seeing that suggested somewhere. That didnt help.

Can I use my macbook as a desktop

Can I use my macbook as a desktop in my office, connecting it to bigger screen and with a keyboard?
How it will work. I know IBM laptops have a dock devise, does anything like that exists on Mac?
Thanks

So what you do is close it up let it suspend and then wake it up with the bluetooth device. Its a possibility the one i use, maybe there are better ones.
If left open you can have 2 screens for more desktop space. I use mine this way I have some stuff on one and other stuff on the internal screen.
Other thing i recomend you is to take of the battery if you are going to have all day on. Just connect it to the power and that way the battery doesnt suffer.
Please do not take the battery out. The MacBook is designed to have the battery installed and it will not suffer as long as you calibrate once a month.
If you take the battery out this will happen.

Remote control and remote desktop client in sccm 2012 ?

What is the difference between remote control and remote desktop client in sccm 2012 ?

Remote Control is a built-in feature for SCCM 2012 and uses the RPC protocol. When you use this, the user can still be logged on while helping.
Remote Desktop is a buit-in feature for Windows and uses the RDP protcol. When you use it, the user will be logged off.
Why you would use one over the other depends on your requirements.

A few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.

I have a few questions about MacBooks and Parallels Desktop.
1) I understand I need at least 1GB of RAM to run Parallels Desktop but what about the hard drive, is the stock 60GB drive big enough?
2) Related to question 1, even if it was big enough to allow me to install and run Windows would the 60GB drive be enough if I wanted to install a Linux distribution as well?
3) This has nothing to do with Parallels Desktop but thought I'd ask it here anyway, do Apple Stores carry just the stock MacBooks, or do they carry other configurations?
Thanks
Keith

1. Depend on how intensive you use that HD for saving data on both Mac OS and XP. For standard installation on both OS X and XP, the space of 60 Gb is enough.
2. Same answer as no 1. You can install all three on that HD space, but the extra spacce available will be less and less for your data. You can save your data on external or back up on cd/dvd and erase it from the HD to keep the free space.
Remember to leave at least 2 or 3 Gb for virtual memory usage.
3. Just call them, maybe they don't have it in store stock, but by appointment they might configure one for you before your pick-up date.
Good Luck

How to recognize if application is installed using "Install Application on Remote Desktop" option on Windows Server 2008 R2

How to recognize if application is installed using "Install application on remote desktop..." option in Control Panel in Windows Server 2008 R2?
Basically, as administrator, I can't say if the user installed application using "Install application on remote desktop..." in Control Panel or he just installed it by clicking the .msi executable. I can't find anything that makes any difference.
I could not find anything in the registry. I am quite confused.
Thanks,
Aleksandar9

Hi,
Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
Please make sure that you are using category view of control panel-programs to check the application. And in addition to “install application on Remote Desktop server” user can also use command line also.
change user /install
change user /execute
change user /query
“The first time you run the application, it searches the home directory for its .ini files. If the .ini files are not found in the home directory, but are found in the system directory, Terminal Services copies the .ini files to the home directory, ensuring
that each user has a unique copy of the application .ini files. Each user should have a unique copy of the .ini files for an application. This prevents instances where different users might have incompatible application configurations.” (Quoted formthis
article).
Hope it helps!
Thanks,
Dharmesh

Using iweb/MacBook and connecting wirelessly to internet in remote China

Ok this is a long shot.......
I need to be able to update my website www.greatwalltrek.info whilst in remote areas of China using a MacBook whilst I'm fundraising for charity. I have been told that with a CDMA card I will get access from most places that I will be travelling. I realise that this will likely be a slow connection but would it be sufficient to at least update text sections of the webpage (i.e. diary notes)??
I haven't been able to work out who the best providers of CDMA in China are. Anyone with some local/technical knowledge that can help? Also, will a CDMA card work in a MacBook??
I know that I can use a satellite modem but the cost is approximately $7 per MB and 256K streaming is $20 per minute.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I realise that this will likely be a
slow connection but would it be sufficient to at
least update text sections of the webpage (i.e. diary
notes)??
Even if you somehow decide this might be feasible (I would not think it so myself), I strongly recommend you have a non-iWeb Plan B that involves minimal bandwidth and time requirements.

Using iTunes, MacBook and the external HDD.

Hi there, however much I love iTunes, I absolutely despize the lack of function when it comes to splitting the music library between my MacBook and an external HDD.
I have a rather large Library and it is a real issue when using a HDD limited MacBook.
Why is there no simple function to allow a user to pass data back and forth between these?
iMovie has a very simple and wonderfully easy to use 'drag n drop' function which allows a user to move video between any or multiple external HDD and the HDD on the MacBook.
When connected, the media on the HDD is available to use in iMovie. When it is not connected, only the media on the MacBooks HDD is available.
Would it be conceivable to adopt a similar system whereby iTunes would 'show' an external HDD and allow a user to drag and drop media straight over?
Now THAT would be amazing! Please, it is terribly limiting and self-defeating to have a portable device without being able to EASILY move ones media from a 'home' based large external HDD and the more versatile, smaller portable MacBook HDD.
iMovie does it, can you adapt iTunes to do the same?
Yours,

click here and here for information.
also, peruse this user tip:
In iTunes 9.
iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
Set the iTunes media folder location to the external.
Then select the movie files (or any files in iTunes) and right click Consolidate.
This will copy only the movies to the external location.
After it finishes, iTunes prefs -> Advanced and set the iTunes media folder location back to the internal. This will tell iTunes to use the internal drive for new files.
You can then delete the movies from \Music\iTunes\ on the internal to free up space.
To copy a movie back to the internal, simply right click - Consolidate (since you pointed iTunes back to the internal).
just edit these instructions to meet your needs.

Can implement port forwarding using win2003 routing and remote acccess?

I have a sql server 2005 with a internet ip address b and a computer onwindows 2003 with a internet ip address a .
Now I want to use address "a" 's 14330 port to access sql server 2005 on ip address "b" with port 1433.
I use router and remote access to implement this,but fail.
in every server only have a adaptor and a ip.
How to do it?
Please tell me how to implement it from "routing and remote access" in detail.
I dont want use netsh.

Hi,
I think this will not work. As we know, when a source computer send a request to SQL server, the packet should contain the following information.
Source IP and port number (this port is a randomly generated)
Destination IP and port 1433 (SQL by default)
So we cannot control which port to use when connecting another service.
Hope this helps.

Connecting to Remote Desktop using proxy and Remote Desktop Gateway?

I have setup a Remote Desktop Gateway server using Windows Server 2012 R2. I am using the Remote Desktop Gateway as an intermediary between to provide the remote desktop session over 443 since 3389 is blocked at many client locations.
However, I ran into a problem with a client who's using a web proxy.
Is is possible to configure Remote Desktop to connect via web proxy? If so, how? If not does any one have any suggestions on how to provide a Remote Desktop session via 443 over proxy for situations where you don't control the client's PC or network? Does RemoteApps
allow for access via web proxy when using RD Gateway?
The error message is below:
Your computer can't connect to the remote computer because the web proxy server requires authentication. To allow unauthenticated traffic to an RD Gateway server through your web proxy server, contact your network administrator.
Thanks for any help!

Hi,
My suggestion is to setup a RD Web Access server and make it available for your clients via proxy.

Can two accounts just use one macbook and one iphone.error occurred talking to the iTunes store

I have two accounts(A and B), of course I just use one iphone and one macbook.
but now ,the problem is,
the account A can use xcode organizer to upload App,
and the account B can't upload in the same MAC and Xcode,
the error message is: error occurred talking to the iTunes store
and the console print: *** Error: An error occurred while deserializing the JSON request. Error Message - Invalid JSON character read at index 0
(of course if I change from account B to A, upload success）
it cotinue for three days, of course there are many people have the same problem.
must I buy another iphone ,another macbook,and install another xcode
I am so sad.
thank you

the problem is , .ipa can't upload by(in) account B
I think the bug can be two possible list blow
      1. the .ipa is wrong
      2. the account(B) is wrong.
if   the .ipa is wrong
the .ipa can't upload by any account (account A or account B, just change the identifier and the sigh identity)
but if the .ipa can upload success by account A,
so , the .ipa(program) is right.
then, there is exist only one possible,   the account (B) is wrong,
K T , do you thine my logic for this problem is right

Macbook Pro remote desktop unable to connect to my office PC. Genius Bar told me the only solution was to wipe my Mac. Really??

I work remotely using my Macbook Pro (OS X 10.5.8) to connect to my office PC. I have always had issues using my "computer name" with the RDC but have no problem when using the IP address. Two weeks ago my company upgraded their server and ever since I have been unable to access the server. My coworkers (who use Macs) are not having the same problems as me. My IT guy was able to connect using my Mac, his security clearance and IP address. However, I no longer have the option of using the IP address to log in - per my IT guy. My IT guy is a PC guy so he suggested that I take my computer to Apple to see whats blocking me.
I met with Apple support at the Genius bar yesterday and was told basically it could be a problem with my computer and I needed to wipe it clean and start over. This was the proposed solution to the problem but the Mac guy I spoke with didn't seem completely sure this would solve / is the cause of the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions for figuring out what the root problem is prior to me wiping my Mac? Has anyone had issues working with remote desktop connection from their Mac connecting to a PC?
I appreciate any help possible!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
There are no songs on your iPod, right (since it was restored)?
Make sure the software on your computer is up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Update iPod's Software
Also, try connecting the iPod via a different USB port.
You may want to try putting the iPod in Disk Mode prior to connecting it and see if you are able to restore it (while it is in Disk Mode)...
Putting iPod into Disk Mode
Finally, if you can't get the iPod to restore, then try connecting it and opening My Computer. Does the iPod show up in My Computer? Try right clicking it and going to Format. Does anything happen?
