I have a Mac Pro running OSX 10.6.8 that I need to control from another location. Don't laugh but it can't be updated due to Rosetta requirement of a several very expensive applications! A Rosetta emulator that runs on 10.10-12 would be nice but there is none that I know of that would make the legacy software run. LogMeIn might work with the legacy version but that is not an option since they tripled the price.
Is Apple Remote Access or something similar still around? The free version of Team Viewer might run on the 10.10 imac at the same location I need to access but will not run on the 10.6.8 mac pro. Could the imac 10.10 control the Mac Pro 10.6.8 on the same LAN and then I remotely control the iMac 10.10 from a Windows 7 PC or a Mac running 10.10 from my location?
Remote Desktop App For Mac 10.6.8
(A) You must have a good working knowledge of private networks (LANs) and public networks (WANs), differences between fixed and dynamically assigned IP addresses, firewalls and probably VPNs depending on how secure you want non-local remote connections to be.
Microsoft provides many different apps for Android and iOS, among which is the Remote Desktop program. It lets you connect remotely to Windows computers at your home or workplace. The latest updates for Microsoft Remote Desktop for iOS and Mac bring tons of fixes and different improvements.
Thanks for the post. I did the uninstall and reinstall as you asked, but it did not work. If I try to scan from the printer it says there is no connection to the computer, and if I try from the computer (HP Scan Pro) it also fails. Is there an updated version for the installation to OS 10.6.8, as the installation CD that came with the printer says its for 10.4 and 10.5?
Quick scripting question...Whats the equivalent command to defaults for 10.6.8?i.e. If I want a key (top level not subkey) out of a plist whats the best way to get it under 10.6.8plistbuddy?
I'm working on remote machines, so I guess the target plist file or value doesn't exist on the 10.6.8 machines.For the record I was looking at the info.plist file for a number of apps for monitoring so not sure why they wouldn't exist.It's not too big a deal as we only have 5 of them left in our environment and a better solution is to eliminate these!Thanks for the quick response guys.
I've seen this working on remote machines before. Remember that this tool assumes you know where the plist file you are trying to access is located and it starts out in the user home directory where you run the tool. So, if you log in as say netadmin then it goes into the prefs library for that user. Which would be cool, but you probably mean to fix the permissions for the user that your trying to help remotely. Give defaults the full path to the plist your trying to edit and you should be just fine. Something like...
A few months back, I saw that I was running out of space on my home theater Mac Mini. This was a 2007 Mac Mini with 2 GBs of RAM running 10.6.8, with a 1 TB drive that held media content and 2 TB backup drive connected via FireWire 400. I also noticed that it was struggling to play the latest HD movies from the iTunes Store.
When I researched the subject, I found a lot of people online trying to run 10.6.8 on 2011 Mac Minis with varying degrees of success. The most common issues were lower performance, video that displayed a very pinkish hue on the screen and Thunderbolt not working. However, I hit pay dirt when I came across this Apple discussion forum thread because someone in the thread named newfoundglory had not only figured out the necessary driver support; they had also been nice enough to package up the drivers into one installer package: the NFG Mac Mini 2011 installer
Why was this? After all, the 2011 Mini never came with an internal DVD player. This should have worked; except for the fact that the 2011 Mini was never supposed to run 10.6.8 either. All of the 2011 Macs that ran 10.6.8 were laptops that came with internal optical drives.
For example, Windows XP "Professional" does, but the "Home" does not. 2X RDP Client for Mac allows you to simply connect, via RDP (Remote. Aimed at computer administrators responsible for large numbers of computers and teachers who need to assist individuals or perform group demonstrations, Apple Remote Desktop allows users to remotely control or monitor. Mac OS X does not support writing to Microsoft Windows formatted NTFS volumes. Not all versions of Microsoft Windows support Remote Desktop Connections. Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) is a Macintosh application produced by Apple Inc., first released on March 14, 2002, that replaced a similar product called Apple Network Assistant.
If you ever need to connect to computers running Windows, this 7.8MB download is a good addition to your toolbox. Microsoft Remote Desktop is one of the best remote desktop clients out there in the market. The release notes don't say much about what is new in this version, and I didn't notice any new features (other than not crashing on Snow Leopard, which is a significant plus). I downloaded the new version, ran the installer (I'm not sure why it needs an installer for what seems like a self-contained application, but it does) and the app launched as expected. I took a quick look around and found that version 2.0.1 had been released in mid-August. Splashtop Remote Desktop eliminates the need to transfer, convert or sync files and multimedia among devices. Being able to access computers from a remote location helps you avoid a lot of hustle: you can offer support, access data. Fixed an issue where the session window may jump to another monitor when auto-reconnect kicks in.
Yup, crashed a third time.Īssuming this wasn't some Halloween prank, I wondered if maybe I had an outdated version of the app, since I hadn't used it since Snow Leopard came out. Wake-on-LAN support Mac OS X Lion compatible. What's new in Microsoft Remote Desktop 10.6.8: Added background refresh for subscribed workspaces.
Description: Multiple issues existed in the directory server's handling of messages from the network. By sending a maliciously crafted message, a remote attacker could cause the directory server to disclose memory from its address space, potentially revealing account credentials or other sensitive information. This issue does not affect OS X Lion systems. The Directory Server is disabled by default in non-server installations of OS X.
Description: Multiple buffer overflows existed in Samba's handling of remote procedure calls. By sending a maliciously crafted packet, an unauthenticated remote attacker could cause a denial of service or arbitrary code execution with system privileges. These issues do not affect OS X Lion systems.
Description: The user may designate a Time Capsule or remote AFP volume attached to an AirPort Base Station to be used for Time Machine backups. Beginning with AirPort Base Station and Time Capsule Firmware Update 7.6, Time Capsules and Base Stations support a secure SRP-based authentication mechanism over AFP. However, Time Machine did not require that the SRP-based authentication mechanism was used for subsequent backup operations, even if Time Machine was initially configured or had ever contacted a Time Capsule or Base Station that supported it. An attacker who is able to spoof the remote volume could gain access to user's Time Capsule credentials, although not backup data, sent by the user's system. This issue is addressed by requiring use of the SRP-based authentication mechanism if the backup destination has ever supported it.
I would like to share a Mac mini (currently running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8) allowing coworkers running Windows XP on their boxes to perform a remote login using their username/password. They should each get a session of their own in which they can use MacOS without interfering with other users.
Will this work to install 10.5 (instead of 10.7) on my 10.6.8 machine? I have an application (Quickbooks Mac 2007) that stopped working properly on 10.6.8 because the company is no longer supporting that application. Please respond on site and with email.
I am having trouble with serving up my rails app on a remote computer after upgrading from Rails 3.0 to 3.1. So I want to take a look at what exactly is going wrong when Apache attempts to start up my app and it fails. How can I find the errors that Apache (or maybe Passenger?) is throwing via the Terminal? 2ff7e9595c
