RE: Synergy Mac to Window Configuring Mac as Server! Easy! (Indepth version)

[MoveandFire]

Ace, thanks for the pointers, easy when you know how.. ;-)

[PharrellExley]

Thanks so much for your help very straight forward!!!! Everything is working very nice. One question though.... I accidentally downloaded just Synergy for both my PC and Mac alone. Will this be a problem?

[naasik323i]

I'm trying to use the steps described to configure synergy on my Macbook Pro running Mac OSX lion and lenovo thinkpad X220 tablet running windows 7 professional 64-bit. When i click on the turn on button, it seems to have no effect on synergy even though the windows portion seems to be fine. I have carefully followed each of the steps that you have described in the video. Any ideas on what can be done?

[Jeff16681]

Holy shit bro. You are officially my savior. Thank you <3.

[crafty184]

Thank you so much! I've been trying to figure this out for a while. I had it working the other way around (PC server, Mac client) but now it works with my Mac as the server! Whoo hooo!

[biancafterdark]

great video!



[drummerg2]

i get a :cannot read configuration error: ;/ var /folder/yz/  trying to install on mac 10.5??

[supernovasky]

BTW it not going to the same spot is not glitchy. If it didn't something else then it would be glitchy. It is going to the same part of the screen respectively.. but you probably already knew this so hopefully it helped some.

[leebrendalee]

Sweet!! Thank you for your incredible video...nice and easy. Now I can return the 50 dollar stupid kvm cables..that was just crazy...this is wonderful works right away.

[awinca25]

Thanks man, this really helped me out.

[SL1DE5TER]

Thanks so much man!!!Saved me from spending another few hours trying to figure this out :D

[kerron68]

[timoxad]

Thanks alot, worked like a charm. Saved me some time trying to figure out what I did wrong myself. Thumbs up!

[alexh123drum]

[MrThomaswBryan]

Thank you so much, This helped me alot!

[MrDarkSekai]

hey can you use pc to pc?

[noblsht]

Well done, good video good audio clearly explained, life hacker did not say That it requires the entry of the local IP address, I think that it is the problem I'm having after three hours of trying.

[patrick10001]

It keeps saying on my mac:

2011-02-02 21:32:10.044 Synergyd[10229:207] WARNING: failed to connect to server: Connection refused

and windows:

WARNING: failed to connect to server: the attempt to connect was forcefully rejected.

[Domreis7337]

@patrick10001 Either the Host name you entered or the IP for one of the machines is wrong or invalid. Are you on a Work or enterprise network where Sharing is locked down?

[patrick10001]

@Domreis7337 Thx,

i'm quite sure that the info is correct.

But what is a enterprise network?

[patrick10001]

It's not working :(!

[twotrack]

Just what I needed. ThanxKM.

[sldkiulghisuhmoiulh]

i got the right ip and everything but it still isn't working =/ saying it is forcefully rejected!

[patrick10001]

@sldkiulghisuhmoiulh same here.

[cwalker107]

HOLY FUCKIN SHIT FINALLY! Thank you.

[Domreis7337]

[srxshadow]

[jjppppp]

Hi, my PC isn't connected to my wireless network, but can you connect the mac and pc using ethernet instead? at the moment i am getting a "no route to host" error message. Cheers.

[mohgmail]

I was able to connect both Windows 7 and Mac using SynergyKM. The problem is that I always see this error in SynergyKM: Warning: Could not map hotkey id=ef14 mask=0000

Eventhough, they get connected, but in less than 5 seconds, I get this error from SynergyKM: NOTE: Client "client name" is dead

[srprimeaux]

Thanks for the tutorial, man. Worked like a charm. Subscribed.

[adaribros]

Thank you

[kcdstudios]

There are no words for your awesomeness! Thanks for your help!!

[Dousch]

It worked! But I want it to work from my main PC to my Mac. </3

[MeAndNot3]

@Dousch it's possible. i'm working from a MacPro to a Windows PC.

[Dousch]

@MeAndNot3 I figured it out later on that night. :) Great stuff.

[keg84]

Yes! Thank you. Very clear, helped me after and few hours of banging my head against the wall. You making the mistake was perfect, i think thats what i was doing.

[CougarRand]

Thank you for this, now have all my machines working perfectly.

[vandalais]

Thanks so much! I didn't even know of Synergy KM till I saw your video. Been trying for about an hour to figure out the instructions on Synergy and was about to give up. Took just the length of your video to configure.

[moviemaker156]

Thanks it works great

[mdcathell]

Hey, thanks for all the great instructions. I was having a tough time getting this to work, even while following your steps. I found that by turning off the Bonjour option in SynergyKM fixed the problem, whatever it was. I'm using Leopard and XP.

[DriveBii]

brilliant! just what i needed! thanks man!

[lyndonabing]

not bad..

[oilfighter]

Thank you very much for the video. Just exactly what I needed to know since I couldn't figure out exactly what info to pull and where to put it

[awesomeloftus]

thanks so much i was having so many problems and you cleared them all up! thanks a bunch!

[gzadelta]

Like everyone else, thank you very much!! i checked out a vid on cnet but it does not come close to what you have to offer!! thanks a million!!!

[WindowsAndMacintosh]

Thanks for the correct link for Mac, thanks for the for Windows and Linux. Ya know what, I'm gonna rate 5 stars and subscribe.

[Domreis7337]

I am glad it helped you out!

[BOBSTER00001]

[c23ryno]

Is anybody else getting a command prompt on the client that must be up in order to use this correctly. If so, is there any way to hide it, because it's annoying.

[kevsam1090]

Hey man i want to say a big thank you for this tutorial! Keep up the good work

[Pyytte]

Thanks for the vid, I'm trying to do this but vice versa.

I want my vista machine to be the primary computer and the mac as secondary, All connections work fine but my mouse wont go over to the other screen (where the mac is connected). I just did as you did but on pc when you did on the mac. What can be wrong?

[adamjreid]

cheers dude :]

i had synergy configured easily using my windows keyoard to control my mac but couldnt get it going the other way round.

saved me a loada time messing about.

thank you very much

[xeeozees]

Thanks a bunch for this, I had SynergyKM working before, but I was a little rusty.

Vista and Leopard are at one on my desk with only Apple peripherals.

[MissElphabaThropp]

I've been having trouble doing this since I got my first Mac last week - thank you for your in-depth tutorial.

It showed my problem - on the Windows computer I was putting the iMac's server HOSTNAME and not the IP ADDRESS... AS IT STATES ON THE GUI!!!

However, once I followed your guide - everything works.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

[Domreis7337]

Not a problem!

[toldaddy]

Good walk through man, set up my macpro to my dell with no problems. The mouse gets sluggish working in 3d aps, there a way to set this up over firewire for faster response?

[snakefake777]

hey were is the exact adress to download synergy km from

[Domreis7337]

Look in the video description... Download the DMG file!

[PCGAM3RS]

Can you have Synergy run 2 computers on 1 monitor? So its like if you go into my computer and look in there it will show the computer as a drive?

[Domreis7337]

Not a problem!

[feloriene]

Aww this is awesome, thankyou so SO much for doing this :).

[Domreis7337]

Not a problem... I hope it works for you!

[pepmod]

thanks. i downloaded this for my macbook but dident know how to set it up. now i do

[Domreis7337]

Good.. I am Glad you learned something!
