Apple to end Back to My Mac support in macOS Mojave has begun sending alerts to users stating that ‘Back to My Mac’ support will not be available in macOS Mojave. Back to My Mac feature is basically designed to allow Mac users to connect their system with another for transferring files and ‘screen sharing’ purposes. Apple is now sending notifications to use services like iCloud, screen sharing and Apple Remote Desktop.

The company is directing users to a support document describing how to transition to these alternatives for file access, screen sharing and remote desktop access. Advertising Apple in its notification stated that ‘Back to My Mac ends soon’ and that Mac users can ‘continue to use iCloud Drive to access files’ across their devices. Notably, Apple provides Mac users 5GB of free iCloud storage, following which, users need to pay for the additional storage capacity. According to MacRumors report, Back to My Mac was not present in the first developer beta of macOS Mojave, and it was not released in any subsequent beta. Also Read: Apple in the support document notes that users can access all of their files across devices with iCloud Drive and manage Macs remotely with Apple Remote Desktop. The Remote Desktop software is available on Mac App Store for $79.99.

However, Brian Stucki, Head of Qualtrics in his tweet (via 9to5Mac) cited that Apple Remote Desktop app has not been updated since February 2017. According to 9to5 Mac, macOS Mojave will be the last version to support 32-bit apps, besides the discontinuation of Back to My Mac support.

Microsoft today reminded customers running Office for Mac 2008 that support for the suite ends next Tuesday. 'Support for Office for Mac 2008 will end April 9, 2013,' Microsoft's Mac Business Unit (MacBU), the firm's OS X development arm, said in a Thursday. According to the, all versions of the 2008 suite will be retired next week. Office for Mac 2008 launched Jan. 15, 2008, or about five years and three months ago. Related: The MacBU's note was yet another reminder that Microsoft shortchanges customers running OS X.

Microsoft supports the Windows versions of Office, even those that target consumers, for 10 years, or twice as long as it does Office for the Mac. Office Home and Student 2007, for example, which launched in late January 2007, a full year before Office for Mac 2008 appeared, will be supported until October 2017, more than four years from now. The older Office Student and Teacher 2003 retires down the road, too, in April 2014, alongside Windows XP. Even the Mac suite that's clearly business-oriented, Office 2008 for Mac Business Edition, loses support in a few days. Office for Mac 2008 will not suddenly stop working next week; it will launch, and let users create, edit and print documents.

But it will not be served with security updates after April 9. For some reason, Microsoft considers all editions of Office for Windows as business products, no matter that some - like Home and Student - cannot be used for commercial purposes. At the same time it categorizes all editions of Office on OS X as consumer products. That's clear from Microsoft's policies. On its, Microsoft explains support for business and consumer software.

'Microsoft will offer a minimum of 10 years of support for Business and Developer products,' the company says. For consumer software, meanwhile, it states: 'Microsoft will offer Mainstream Support for either a minimum of 5 years from the date of a product's general availability, or for 2 years after the successor product (N+1) is released, whichever is longer.' The speedy retirement of Office for Mac 2008 is not new: for Office for Mac 2004, which was shut down in January 2012. Admittedly, that was over two years later than the original deadline.

But Microsoft's of Office for Mac 2004 was a one-time deal, as the MacBU made plain at the time. 'This extension does not change the five-year support policy for other Office for Mac products, including future versions,' a senior product manager said then. Microsoft extended support for Office for Mac 2004 to allow its users, many of whom relied on Visual Basic-based macros, time to migrate to the impending Office for Mac 2011, which launched in October 2010. Office for Mac 2008 dropped support for Visual Basic macros, but that support was restored in Office for Mac 2011. Yesterday, MacBU recommended that customers running Office for Mac 2004 migrate to Office 365, the line of subscription plans that lets users install Office for Mac Home & Business 2011 on up to five Macs.

They can also opt for a 'perpetual' license of Office for Mac 2011, the traditional kind that is paid for once, but can be used as long as wanted. Office for Mac Home and Student lists for $140, while the for-commercial-use Home and Business sells for $220. Customers, however, have less than three more years before Office for Mac 2011 falls off Microsoft's support list.
