MAC Computers and K201 Student Success

As we start the MS Access part of the class you will need to decide how to run MS Access for WINDOWS on your MAC.  The MAC MS Office Suite does NOT include the Access database application.  MAC computers do NOT have Access available in the MS Office Suite UNLESS you choose to run Windows on your MAC.

There is a document in Canvas, Files, called MAC K201 Student Tips.pdf that gives the best options. We have recently learned that if you run MS Access for Windows from the IUanyWare site, you can SAVE files to your Local Drive. That would likely be your fastest solution. If you choose from IUanyWare the Apps solution and save Local it works pretty well.  Instructions HowToSetupIUanyWareOnMAC
If you have a NEW MacBook you may NOT be able to use the "Local Drive".  We are still testing this.

If you are a business major, it maybe worth the time and energy investment to do option 3 and partition your MAC hard drive so you can install Windows, and then the MS Office for Windows suite. It would then work like in the classroom.

To run IUanyWare please see the steps in the MAC K201 Student Tips.pdf file in Canvas, Files.

To Save Local on your MAC you would follow instructions below AFTER you setup Citrix Receiver and are ready. For help please call 274-HELP (they are FREE technical support help to IUPUI Students). 

Take care,

Your personal computer may not automatically share your local file storage with IUanyWare. If you can't access your local directories and files when using IUanyWare applications, check the following settings in your Citrix Workspace app:

macOS: To allow IUanyWare applications to access local files on a macOS personal computer, while an IUanyWare application is open:
From the Client Viewer menu bar, select Preferences..., then File Access, and then Read and write. Click the Devices tab.
If they are not already selected, check the boxes for both When a session starts, connect devices automatically and When a new device is connected while a session is running, connect the device automatically.
The storage location C$ (\\Client) should now be available in your list of "Computer" storage locations.
You may also configure settings for removable media on your local workstation. These settings will remain in place until you change them.

Note:

Local Disk (C: on...) takes you to the Macintosh HD directory. Local Disk (H: on...) takes you directly to the home directory of your user account.
