How to get my apple computer to let me log into it remotely

how do I get my apple computer to let me log into it remotely from another computer?

First, you should be asking this question is the Mac OS X forum associated with the version of Mac OS X you are running (Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite).  If you tell use the version of Mac OS X you are using, we can ask the moderators to move this post to that forum.
Back-to-My-Mac is what you would use if both Macs are yours using the same Apple iCloud account.

<Set up and use Back to My Mac - Apple Support>
If you are trying to connect to someone else's Mac (a family member, or friend), then you can use iChat (older versions of Mac OS X) or Messages to initiate Screen Sharing.
<Messages (Mavericks): Share your screen>
You could also use TeamViewer.com which is very good at connecting to a remote Mac (or Windows, as it is cross-platform) across the internet and navigating through home routers.
<http://TeamViewer.com>
The next level of complexity would involve opening ports in the destination home router.  This is non-trivial, and hopefully one of the above 3 methods will do the job.  PortForward.com has documents providing step-by-step guides on how to setup port forwarding for a huge list of routers

Again, hopefully, you do not need this level of complexity.  But if you do please let us know.

  • I'm trying to verify my apple id but when i log into icloud to get the email it says 'the apple id has not been verifed.' So how do i verify my account if it wont let me log into to icloud mail?

    I'm trying to verify my apple id but when i log into icloud to get the email it says 'the apple id has not been verifed.' So how do i verify my account if it wont let me log into to icloud mail? stressing me out please help me

    You have to respond to the verification email that Apple should have sent to you by clicking the Verify Now link.  Make sure you check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account.  This would not normally be an @icloud.com email address.  Also make sure you check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox.  If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

    After you change the account settings as I described below hold your finger on any app until they all wriggle, then tap the "-" on each purchased with her Apple ID. Press the HOME button when done. Then go to the App Store and buy or download the apps you want.

  • HT204034 How to get an Apple App store account without a credit card?

    Does anyone know how to get an Apple App store account without a credit card?
    When I sign in with my Apple ID it says I did not have an account with the App store, but in order to create one it requires a credit card.
    There is NO None option as some articles show when selecting a credit card.

    Hello SandraLAVixen,
    I understand you would like information on how to use an Apple ID without a credit card. The following article may help:
    Create an iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store account without a credit card or other payment method - Apple Support
    If you already have an Apple ID
    If you've already created your Apple ID, you'll need to add a payment method when you first use it to sign in to the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. But you can optionally remove the payment method after you sign in to the store. You won't be asked for a payment method again until you make your first purchase.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Bobby_D

  • How to get from Apple (officially) details on my iphone 5 (knowing the serial number): model, date of sale, the date of activation, etc.

    How to get from Apple (officially) details on my iphone 5 (knowing the serial number): model, date of sale, the date of activation, etc. I bought a new iphone 5 on ebay.com - he was used. For a decision on my case ebay asks for this information ...

    Apple will never reveal that info to you, since you were not the originally purchaser. However, you can get the date of sale by entering the SN here:
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Warranty starts on the date of sale, which is most likely the date of activation, but not necessarily so.

  • I just installed lion on my macbook pro it doesn't let me log into my username. so what im going to do is to restore it and reinstall lion any help on how to do it correctly tho??

    Chuck
    Without knowing what exactly has gone wrong it is difficult to be precise, but it sounds a bit like you are attempting to install YOUR copy of Lion on your friend's machine?
    I'm not sure the licence allows you to do that.
    IF you are attempting to install a legitimate copy of Lion on his machine, then I would suggest you try again. That sometimes works.
    Do you / he have a backup?
    Have you tried starting from the recovery disk and repairing the hard drive etc.?

  • HT5422 How to get an better screen-update? The view on the remote Mac is nearly static.

    How to get an better screen-update? The view on the remote Mac is nearly static.

    You can try reducing the bit depth of the screen image  via the slider in the upper-right of the Control window. If that doesn't help, you may just not have a sufficiently fast network connection to correctly handle the data transfer necessary. This is often the case if you're connecting across the Internet. What is your network speed between the administration system and the client?
