Hello Haydengs1
To setup the Remote app with your computer to control iTunes, it does need Home Sharing to be setup and turn on.

How do i remote from macbook pro to my iMac desktop?

how do i remote from macbook pro to my iMac desktop?

screenshare. look for your imac in the sidebar of your mbp finder window. right click and choose share screen. or there is an option for it when you click the user. either way, screen share will come up where you can control the desktop of the other computer after you login with the appropriate account.
you'll need to have screen sharing available in system preferences>sharing>screen sharing

Pairing remote with macbook pro

I cannot pair my remote, when I go to setting preferences I cannot see that pairing box to tick ...

I do not know if Mountain Lion is the same as Mavericks, but
System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy tab -> Advanced -> [_] Disable remove control infrared receiver (must be UNCHECKED), and then there should be a "Pair..." button.

search in the list if the phone you have is compatible, then install the little program and you may even have a remote MOUSE by just clicking it on your phone
PS. even if it yoru phone is not in the list there is a big chance that it will work, (mine wasnt in the list and it works like a charm) it is based on java if I understand corectly and most of the phones understand that programing language.

How do I fix my MacBook Pro that continues to abruptly turn off, no matter what I am doing? Even after deleting items/trying resolution methods?

How can I fix my MacBook Pro? I have a relatively recent model of the MacBook Pro. I’ve been running Mavericks.
For the past few days, it has been randomly clicking off by itself, I guess crashing. I would be online or just doings on it, sometimes nothing at all, and the screen would go black, the computer would turn off. Then, I would proceed to try to turn it back on, and it won’t turn on for several minutes, no matter what buttons you push. I tried doing an SMC reset for myself. It did not help much. I deleted all my personal files, including plug-ins, especially flash player. I thought that helped, but the computer proceeded to turn off minutes later. Then, out of frustration, (as I have done twice or so before since having the computer) I did what may be called a factory reset for my computer. I erased the current operating system information/memory in disk utility, and then went on to reinstall OS X. This was working fine, and then, a few minutes into the downloading process, my computer turned off once again.
Now, I have no system to operate on. I keep turning the computer back on to try to do it again. But now, the computer tries to do a remote or internet recovery, and tries to re-download an operating system using my WiFi. I’m sure this would be successful, but the computer can’t function for more than a minute or two without crashing/turning off.
I am fairly certain that my power button is NOT stuck.
I did earlier notice the fan making noise, before doing the SMC reset.
The computer did seem to say there was no batteries available at one point.
(But all of this was okay after some point, and I was just doing the reset to try to correct the turning off the system was still doing)
A week or two ago, I did have a glitch where my desktop picture was flashing and acting weird, and other functions on my computer keyboard not working, like volume, keyboard brightness, etc. But I did fix it.
I have not ever had much on this Macbook pro. I do not download applications. I do not store nearly any files on the computer. I usually only use the flash player plug-in. This computer is only used for doing work/business, and for personal use online.
I can’t see why I would have so many problems.
Is it possible that erasing the memory twice or so before is causing an error or issue in the drive?
What is the root of this problem, and how can I fix it on my own?
I can’t really make any progress on the computer since it turns off after only a minute or two no matter what you are trying to do.
What do I do now?

kapots3v4,
if your MacBook Pro doesn’t stay active long enough to perform an OS X Internet Recovery, then you should make an appointment at your nearest Apple store or Apple-authorized service provider to have them diagnose what’s ailing it.

TS4055 How do I use my MacBook Air to access the Amazon Web Service?

How do I use my MacBook Air to access AWS (Amazon web Service)? The information provided to me by Apple Care seems to be about allowing outside access to my MacBook.

Sorry, but does this relate to Apple Remote Desktop, Apple's software for managing networked Macs, in some way? If so, how are you using ARD in relation to Amazon's services?

Can't pair iphone with macbook (air)

I haven't been able to pair my iphone 3GS with my macbook. I want to pair it via bluetooth to use an app that I purchased to control keynote.
I have had this problem with a macbook and macbook air. Two weeks ago my main computer was an older black macbook and my iphone would not pair with my macbook, I thought maybe because the macbook was just getting on; as my (bad) luck would have it I was foced to purchase a new computer, and purchased a macbook air and I am just finding that it still doesn't work.
When I go to pair it, I can get to the point where I accept the pair but then when I click on pair from the iphone, it says my macbook is not supported.
I have searched these forums and have not found an answer that works for me. Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.

This is a problem with the bluetooth and the macbook air. I mentioned the reason behind my need to pair - as it is not to share music, internet, etc. which I understand may be an issue. I cannot find how to get support from the app maker, which is apple from my understanding. This app, keynote, only controls the keynote app on my mac. I haven't had any problem pairing the iphone and keynote but I need to control my keynote using bluetooth, as I have no garuntee that I will always be in a place with wifi or be able to access the wifi.

How can I remotely take over a PC from my Mac

My father has a new notebook running Vista. I have a new Macbook Pro running Leopard.
He lives 3000 Miles away and regularly calls me for help. Anyone know how I can remotely take over his PC in order to fix problems and help him along.
Thanks

Eric, in reading the posts, it seems you are familiar with Mactopia's RDT. I can connect to my work PC via RDT 1.0.3, but the connection doesn't hold whether I'm directly connected to my router or using Airport. If I bring a work PC laptop home, I can remote connect to my work PC using Microsoft Windows RDT on the laptop with no problems.
Do you know if there is something I need to do via preferences with my VPN and Mactopia RDT on my PowerBook to maintain a good connection to my work PC? I've tried to find support or discussions on this at the Mactopia site (nothing remotely relevant) and I only some meaningful discussion here via your comments to Curious George's questions.
Any hints you could give for a better Mactopia RTC connection to my work PC using my PowerBook is appreciated.
Thanks,
Nancy

Unable to pair Remote with iTunes

Hi, I am unable to pair Remote app to iTunes via both Home Sharing and Add an iTunes Library (via passcode).
I am using Remote version 4.0 (748) on iOS 7.0.4 on iPhone 5s and iTunes version 11.1.3.8 on Windows 8.
Both my iPhone and my Windows computer are connected to the same home network via wifi. I have signed in to the same account (the one used to access iCloud and App Store downloads) on my iPhone's Remote app as the one I used to sign in to iTunes' Home Sharing on Windows.
I have read this support article: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12357. I can neither find the "Remote button" on iTunes on Windows that allows me to type the 4 digit passcode, nor get the link established via signing in to home sharing. I have also taken a conscious effort to allow both inbound and outbound traffic on TCP port 3689 and UDP port 5353.
I have attached some screenshots for clarity:
Thank you.

I have the exact same problem. Have you found a solution?
