Nov 23, 2017 You could access microsoft access databases from a Mac using other apps than microsoft access. A quick search on google would give you a few results. But if what your actually want is to use and learn access itself, I would recommend setting up a Virtual machine on you Mac, or a Bootcamp partition. For some Mac users, remote access software became a category to consider when Apple removed Back to My Mac from macOS Mojave, and it was completely turned off on July 1 of this year. Wizard for Mac is a superb alternative to Access on Mac that makes it incredibly easy to create databases and analyze data on a Mac. Wizard can import Microsoft Access MDB files along with DBF, Excel XLS/XLSX, Apple Numbers, RData/RDS, JSON, SQLite and text files. It can also connect to and import MySQL and PostgreSQL files and the Pro version can import SPSS, SAS and Stata files. Windows Mac Open any Office application, such as Word or Excel, and select Account. Note: If you don't see Account or you already have a file or document open, choose File from the menu, and then select either Account or Help from the list on the left. If just want to manage your Exchange email account on the Mac, you can use the Mac Mail app to connect to your account using Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or Post Office Protocol (POP). Set up Exchange account access using Outlook for Mac. If you have Outlook for Mac, you can use it to access your Exchange account. Use Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac to connect to a remote PC or virtual apps and desktops made available by your admin. With Microsoft Remote Desktop, you can be productive no matter where you are.

In macOS 10.14 Mojave, Apple introduced new security settings that allow to control what apps can access your camera and microphone. Previous macOS versions allowed you to control only access to your location, contacts, photos, calendar, and reminders.
The first time the application will try to get access to your microphone, you’ll see a prompt from your system:
Note:
You won’t receive notifications from Apple apps like Safari or FaceTime. You can limit access to your microphone only for third-party programs.
Even if you’ve clicked “Don’t Allow,” you can change that later on your Mac. We’ll show you how to see what apps or websites can use your microphone to record audio and how you can adjust the settings.
How to allow microphone access on Mac

Please note that if you allow the apps to use your microphone, any information they receive and collect is governed by their privacy policy. We recommend you to learn it to make sure that your personal data will be secure.
How to deny access to your microphone
If you want to block access to your microphone for some apps, you should follow similar steps:
- Go to the Apple menu.
- Click System Preferences.
- Choose Security & Privacy.
- Select Microphone.
- Deselect the checkbox to turn off access for that app.
You might be asked to quit the app to limit its access to your microphone. You can click “Quit Now” and the program won’t be able to use your mic anymore.
Note:
Some apps won’t work properly if you limit their access to your microphone. For example, if you’re using video chatting in Skype, you’ll have to give the app access to your camera and microphone.
