Computer Support - Macintosh

This page is for those who would like to know more about the use of Apple's Macintosh at CSU, and more specifically on the Engineering network.

The best place for general information and news is the Apple web site. Apple also has a very good knowledge base and discussions list that will probably help you find an answer to a problem or question.

If you are a CSU faculty or student, take advantage of the specialized pricing and academic discounts available through AppleRockies Higher Education or the Software Cellar.

Read these ACNS pages for information on how to connect to the CSU modem pool for Mac OS 8-9 and OS X.

Wireless on Campus

ACNS has installed a Virtual Private Network (VPN) server to support the campus wireless network. Because wireless networks are inherently insecure, ENS and ACNS encourages everyone to use a VPN client to connect to the wireless network. Set up wireless on your Mac.
