Best Remote Desktop Apps for OS X Mavericks 10.9

macosremote desktop

I have tried CoRD, Microsoft Remote Desktop and RDC but all three are not compatible with Mavericks 10.9

Can someone recommend how I can connect to my Windows 7 computer from my mac?

Remote Desktop should be enabled on the remote win7 under

System Properties=>Remote=>Remote Desktop

enter image description here

The firewall rules will normally automatically be setup for you - if "Remote Desktop" access is enabled.

If it is enabled, then you also need to check if it uses the default port 3389 - if not, you need to check that this port is allowed pass through in the win7 firewall.
