| 1420703 | 2016-05-19 00:31:00 | Hi there, so I have a iMac late 2011 model 27 inch and a desktop pc stored away at present however would love to use it without having to put a extra screen on my desk.. Question. Would it possible to access the Windows desktop pc from the Apple iMac? If so...how?? Thanks all in advance | mark1978 (13845) | ||

| 1420706 | 2016-05-19 02:48:00 | Remote desktop will definitely work, I've set that up a few times. Think you'll need to use the IP address of the windows box rather than the name. itunes.apple.com |
