Bartosz Bludau Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hi there, I just purchased Synergy and although I know that it only supports MacOs 10.9 or higher I wanted to ask if there is an older version that runs under 10.6.8. I want to connect my Windows 8 PC (Server) with my 10.6.8 MacBook Pro (Client). I also tried v. 1.8.5 which supports 10.7 and 10.8 hoping that it might help and at least I could open it but it still does not connect to my pc. Could you please help me somehow! Thanks a lot.

Paul Suarez Posted May 26, 2017 Share Posted May 26, 2017 Hi @Bartosz Bludau. v1.8.5 could work with MacOS 10.6.x. Are you getting any errors when trying to connect to your PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartosz Bludau Posted May 27, 2017 Author Share Posted May 27, 2017 Hi Paul, I attached a screenshot of the log. That is all I get. Seems like it tries to build up a connection each second. On my PC the mac is recognized directly and I was already able to choose the desktop position but my mac doesn't connect somehow. Thank you for your help. I am so looking forward to using this great tool. Best, Bartosz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 That means that your libcurl version is outdated. Synergy requires libcurl version 7.0.0 and up for it to work. Please update it for you to be able to use Synergy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have somehow tried to update it and now when I check which libcurl version I have my terminal shows me this: bartosz-bludaus-macbook-pro:downloads bartoszbludau$ curl --version curl 7.19.7 (universal-apple-darwin10.0) libcurl/7.19.7 OpenSSL/0.9.8y zlib/1.2.3 Protocols: tftp ftp telnet dict ldap http file https ftps Features: GSS-Negotiate IPv6 Largefile NTLM SSL libz Still the same problem. I cannot connect to my windows server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Can you uncheck the Auto config box on your client machine and click apply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartosz Bludau Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 ok, windows is showing me now "zeroconf client detected: ..." But on the mac side nothing changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartosz Bludau Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 so do you have another idea? Still trying to enable a connection here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Suarez Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Can you rename your Mac machine to something that doesn't have the ".local" and a little bit shorter? then edit the screen name on the server configuration interface to reflect the changes you made.

Bartosz Bludau Posted June 22, 2017 Author Share Posted June 22, 2017 I did, but it had no effect unfortunately. It still does not work. Maybe it has something to do with the rights management under "sharing" in system preferences on the mac? Again thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
