Get the control of an iMac through internet

Hello,
I want to get the control of an iMac through internet.
What is the solution ? Perhaps with Messages ? Configuration ?
Thank you

Hi,
iChat and Messages 7 in Mountain Lion could do this as the remote end could be set to automatically accept a video invite.
The basic Auto Accept (Apple)script for this does have words to exclude Screen Sharing from this (but you could edit those out and save the edit and  new Script).
In Messages 8 in Mavericks you no longer have access to the abilities to Auto Accept the Video and Audio invites as Apple removed the Alerts preference pane in the Messages Preferences.
This means that auto Accept can only be linked to the Messages Received option in the General Section of the app's Preferences.
There is a App within the Mac OS that can use the Apple Remote Desktop client engine that all Macs have.
This is the bit in the System Preferences > Sharing that can be set for Screen Sharing.
You then use the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Server and start with VNC://xxx.xxx.x.x
This is simple on your Mac the other computers on your LAN as they all start with IP addresses behind your router.
If the Finder is showing Shares then the option button that says Screen Share also invokes this method.
You can use it over the internet.
The VNC address then has to be the contact's Public IP address and their router set up to forward the data to their computer on their LAN.
This is where apps like TeamViewer come into their own.

  • I continue to get the /.HTML/Rce.Gen3 virus through my mailbox almost daily.  It is picked up by my anti-virus software.  How do I get rid of this permanently so I stop getting it daily?  Is it from a internet cache??

    I use MacKeeper on my MacBook Pro
    Ack! Get rid of that immediately! MacKeeper's bad news. Plus, it does a really awful job of actually detecting malware. See:

    My active accounts are clean, but the On My Mac gmail keeps and continues to repopulate all email, even after I trash them.
    If you're seeing messages remaining in GMail's All Mail folder after deleting them, that's normal. GMail keeps all messages in there, even after deletion, unless you manually delete stuff using GMail's web interface. See Hiding GMail’s “All Mail” from Apple Mail.
    If you're actually having trouble deleting e-mail from an On My Mac mailbox, there's probably something wrong with your mailboxes.

  • Is there any way to get the server app other that through the app store. We do not have our system conneted to a network. I typical downloaded items on a non-apple system.

    is there any way to get the server app other than through the app store. The system that I need it on are not connected to the internet.
    We run a closed-loop network of apple systems and I tipically downloaded updates on a non-apple system that was on the internet.
    Any ideas?

    I did buy the server app, went to the app store to download it. This system I'm using for downloads is Snow Leopard 10.6.8, it shows that I can download it but only as an Install which says I need 10.8. I can't seem to find a way for it to just download as a package or .dmg file so that I can copy it to DVD/CD or flash drive.

  • HT4759 i downloaded the icloud to my pc it says to login with apple id and it says it is a valid apple id but not cloud but i cannot get the control panel for icloud to come up to set it up on my pc which runs windows 8

    i downloaded the icloud to my pc it says to login with apple id and it says it is a valid apple id but not cloud but i cannot get the control panel for icloud to come up to set it up on my pc which runs windows 8

    An update.
    From iCloud Control Panel 2.1.1 for Windows
    "iCloud Control Panel 2.1 and later includes support for Windows 8"
    but you still need to set it up on a Mac or iOS device, "Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later."

  • When I swipe up to get the control center on my iPad I can't find the airdrop option

    When I swipe up to get the control center on my iPad I can't find the airdrop option - I see airplay, but no airdrop

    Pay attention to the models of the ipads. For example, my ipad 2 can't and won't ever have airdrop. So if you have an older one that could be why you can't see it.

  • I cant get the control center to swipe on my iphone 5 with ios 7

    anyone else haveing the same issue.  the notification center works when you swipe down as well as the search iphone feature.

    Yeah, I got fat fingers and have jammed into the most bottom part that the screen will let me touch with the case on and stilll can not get it to work.
    Again works fine with the case off and I start the swipe up off the illuminated part of the screen and it works every time. Just does not work with the case on to get the Control Center swipe to work.
    Not a great big deal but it is a feature that would be nice to have with my favorite Otterbox Defender Case.

  • I can't get the control panel to open on my 4s. Why?

    My Ipad mini works just fine. But my iphone 4s won't open the control panel when I swipe up. I thought that was a feature available on the 4s.

    i have been posting this a few places maybe it will get around.  I have found becuse of my full enclosed iphone case i can not get my figure low enough to get the control panal to work.  maybe apple can move up the control panal access to get it to work better for thos who have full cases.

  • How can I get the Application DVD for IMAC Late 2009?

    How can I get the Application DVD for IMAC Late 2009?

    Disk 2 of the original disks that came with the computer?
    Call Apple, give them your computer serial number, and they will ship you disks for a small charge if disks are available. Go to the Apple Store for your country, then to the bottom of the page//Contact Us for the correct telephone number.
    If that isn't what you ant, can you provide more information?

  • Watching a video; how do I get the controls back up?

    When I am watching a video; how do I get the controls back up?
    I touch and touch the screen, sometimes hard, sometimes soft, sometimes sweeping etc; nothing happens.
    If it double-tap, the video expands and contracts, but no controls appear.
    If it hit the home button, it closes the video and goes to the home screen.

    A single tap when the video is running should bring up the controls. You may have to wait a few seconds. If this doesn't work, try resetting your iPhone by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • I have trouble getting my new Apple TV 2 to work to the internet. I have an Imac with OsX 10.6.8 using a 3G modem to connect to the internet. I have a Time Capsule with Airport. I can't get the Apple TV to see my internet connection

    I have an Imac with OSX 10.6.8 dual intel core.
    Apple TV 2
    Timecapsule
    3G modem connected to iMac for internet access.
    I have tied to get Apple TV2 to see the inernet but it does not seem to see the inernet connection either via the Airport network or even if I connect it directly with a ethernet cable to the Timecapsule or the iMac.
    I have tired to set up Home Sharing but it doen't see the Itunes Store so no go.
    I don't have wired internet but it is probably something to do with using a 3G modem
    Any tips on how I can check if the TV coonect to internet and what to do about this problem?
    I was trying to connect my HD TV earlier using a WiFi USB modem but it could not see my iMac. Apple Support told me to buy an Apple TV but that is not helping as I can't see anything there either.

    Thank you so much Paul_31 for your suggestions, HUGELY appreciate the effort
    I have reset the printing system, a few times for good measure but nadda.
    I have also looked at getting the software from the Apple site after seeing that with Snow Leopard you should let the operating system lead the install not the manufacteurers software as it is most likely out of date.  I too found it wasn't there so I uninstalled the software got up the CLX_3300 series stuff then went from there with the USB cable.  It apparently hasn't worked either
    Unfortunately now after using the print utility to scan for a while that has now gone again on the last restart of the Mac.  I am so completely clueless
    The box says the printer is compatible, the place of purchase said it was compatible, the Samsung site says it is compatible.
    I think it's the set up of my Mac? Our maybe a glitch in the network settings?
    Thanks again
