===Linux Client===

There is a open source linux view client available on the following page.

http://code.google.com/p/vmware-view-open-client/

'''Note:''' Since this is not officially supported by VMware, there is very limited support available for this client.

===Printing===

The virtual lab client will automatically add the default printer that is installed on your machine to the virtual lab machine. This will become the default printer for the virtual lab machine. Ensure you have a printer installed on your machine and set it as the default printer for it to show up on the virtual lab machine.

Visit the following page for instructions on how to add on-campus printers to your machine: [/gts/Printing#Print_locations.2Fadding_a_printer Print locations/adding a printer]

===Android/iPad Mobile Devices===

In the Market/App Store, download the "VMware View" client to access virtual labs from these mobile devices. Ensure the app is created by VMware.

===Troubleshooting===

If you are experiencing difficulties connecting, please try the following:

*If your password is being denied, try to login to [http://webmail.gac.edu Webmail] and log back out. This will ensure your password is synced with the remote apps server. After logging into webmail, try to login to the Remote App again.

==Additional remote access options==
[[Remote Apps]] is an alternative to the Virtual lab. [[Remote Apps]] offers access to a single application remotely instead of a full virtual desktop.

==Using Virtual Lab on Lab Machines==
[[File:Windows-logo.png|left|150px]]
On lab machines, there is a Windows icon in the dock. Click this, a window will appear to login using your credentials.

Kplatt: /* Creating a backup for iOS devices in iTunes */

[[Image:ITunes1.png|thumb|The iTunes interface]]
'''iTunes''' is a piece of [[software]] created for media organization, purchase and playback. iTunes is integrated into the [[iLife]] media suite and is available for [[Macintosh]] and [[Windows]] machines. iTunes is also integrated with the Apple [[iPod]] and contains an easy to use interface for downloading music, video and podcasts for use either on a computer or iPod. iTunes is available for free download at: http://www.apple.com/itunes/
<div class="clear"></div>

===Building an iTunes Music Library===
Your iTunes music library contains all the files you play through iTunes. To get to the library in iTunes, click on the library link on the left side of the program interface, this should open the library in the main frame. You can also get to this folder outside of the program. On a mac, open '''Finder''' and click on the '''Music''' link of the left, then open the file labeled '''iTunes''' and then the file labeled '''iTunes Music'''. Inside that folder you will find a group of folders which organize your music files based on artist. Open any of these folder to access the music files of that artist.

To add music files to your library, open iTunes, go to the '''File''' menu and choose '''Add to library'''. A box will open which will allow you to search through your computer to find the files you wish to add to your library. You may also use this method to add files from a CD. Note: you may add more than one file at a time by selecting an entire folder or holding down the shift key and using your keyboard arrows to select multiple songs.

===Using the iTunes Music Store===
You can also add files to your library by downloading them from the iTunes Music Store. To use the iTunes Music Store, click on the '''Music Store''' link on the left side of the iTune program. Note: you will need to be connected ot the internet in order to access the Music Store. In the store, most commercial music costs $.99 per song or $9.99 per album. There are also many free downloads available.

===Subscribing to Podcasts===
There are many podcasts available online nowadays. With iTunes there are two basic ways to subscribe to a podcast. The first is to use the iTunes Music Store (see above for details) to find and subscribe to podcasts. In the music store, use the '''Choose Genre''' drop down menu to select '''Podcasts'''. You may then browse the different types of podcasts and select the one you are interested in. Most podcasts are free and once you have subscribed updates will be automatically downloaded to your iTunes library every time you open the program.

The second way to get podcasts is to enter the xml address (a type or URL) directly into iTunes. Most websites which produce podcasts will have a link to the xml, you need to right-click (or control+click) on the file and choose '''Copy link location'''. Then open iTunes, go to the '''Advanced''' menu and choose '''Subscribe to podcast'''. A box will open up, paste the URL in the box then click '''Ok'''. You will now be subscribed to the podcast and it will auto-update just as if you had subscribed to it through the Music Store.

===Creating Specialized Playlists===
To create a specialized playlist, start by going to the '''File''' menu and choosing '''New Playlist'''. This will create a playlist which will appear on the left side of the program. Name your playlist. Then go to the Music Library and click on any files you want in the playlist and drag them in. The files you add to the playlist will remain in the library as well as the playlist. This way you can access the song from multiple paths.

===Syncing Your iPod with iTunes===
Syncing an iPod should be a very simple task. All you need to do is plug your iPod into your computer with the cable provided, and open iTunes. The computer may want to run updates, but barring those the computer will sync your iPod automatically. Remember, syncing your iPod means that all the music and playlists from iTunes will be copied onto the iPod exactly as it is. If there was a song on your iPod what is not currently in your iTunes library, it will no longer be on your iPod when syncing is complete. Also, you are limited in the number of computers you can sync with, so keep that in mind when working with multiple machines!

===Creating a backup for iOS devices in iTunes===
Apple's family of iOS devices consist of the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad. These devices sync and back themselves up via iTunes. This allows you to manage the data on the device and create a backup incase the device is lost or the data is erased. To start, you need to have iTunes downloaded and installed on your machine. An iOS device can only sync with one iTunes library, so be sure that you sync it with a computer that you will have continued access to. Next, plug in your device and iTunes will automatically launch and begin the syncing process. Durring the sync process, your iOS device will automatically backup.

Home directory

2011-09-16T14:47:11Z

Kplatt:

A '''home directory''' (often referred to as a '''Z-drive''', since "Z" is the default network drive letter on [[Windows]]) is a networked personal storage space for all students, faculty, staff, and administrators. This space can be used to save papers, syllabi, pictures, [[e-mail]], and other documents. Home directories are also used to store user's [[personal homepages]].

As of the 2008-2009 school year, students have '''1''' [[Gigabyte|GB]] worth of storage space for files. Students have '''250''' [[megabytes|MB]] worth of storage space for their [[e-mail]]. If more space is needed, students can request additional storage space.

You are able to access your files stored in your MyData folder from anywhere, granted that you have an Internet connection.

===Via Webmail===
To access your [[Home Directory]] via [[Webmail]] perform the following tasks:
# Log on to the �鶹��Ƶ [[Webmail]] service. [https://webmail.gac.edu]
# On the left side of the Webmail interface, click on "My Account."
# Click on "File Manager."

You then will be able to browse your Home Directory and MyData files. You can download these files by clicking the little picture of a disk with a red arrow pointing down.

===Via FTP===
All [[FTP]] programs are different, but they all require the same information. To connect to the �鶹��Ƶ FTP server, you'll need to supply the following information to your favorite FTP program.

*'''Server:''' ftp.gac.edu
*'''Username:''' your [[�鶹��Ƶ username]] (the part of your [[e-mail address]] before @gustavus.edu)
*'''Password:''' your [[�鶹��Ƶ password]]
*'''Path:''' you can leave this blank; the FTP server will put you in your home directory. If you're trying to make a website and want to connect directly to your www-docs folder, supply "www-docs/" (sans quotes) for the path.
