remote access

I am using the Apple Remote Desktop app to connect to an iMac at home while traveling, using Tailscale because I don't have a Public IP (I am behind CGNAT), all works fine. The only issue is that the screen on the remote iMac will always turn ON while connected remotely, is there another...

Hello everyone. I have been long suspicious that my ex (and child’s father, with whom I am in a legal matter with for DV) may have access and is monitoring my devices. I don’t know if it’s one device, or all. My suspicion is he may have access to my texts, internet activity, location, possibly...

Hello, I'm using MacBook Pro 2020. I use VPN to connect to business network. My goal: access files on business network drives and add it to Visual Studio Code workspace. I was able 'mount' a few drives from remote servers using 'Connect to Server..' utility. Now I could see it in 'Finder'. But...

Hi all, Never paid too much attention to the activity monitor but recently I noticed a process called “remoted” (Remote Service Discovery or something similar), under “Network”. Every few seconds it sends and receives small kB sized packets. Since I have disabled ALL sharing options, shouldn’t...

I have been having an issue where i am unable to connect to my external hard drives that are attached to my Mac Mini via my MacBook pro over local network. I have tried removing "com.apple.finder.plist" on both machines with no luck. I have tried rebooting Finder again no luck. I am still...

Hi all, I'm new here, but I see that there are a lot of active users on the forum! I wanted to ask you what tools or applications you use when you need to connect iPhones and iPads over the network? This is a bit of a new topic for me, would appreciate some advice!

Hi everyone. I am new here because I have a specific question related to a confounding situation with my personal Apple devices over the past three months. I have been dealing with very strange behavior and potential remote access on several of my brand new & updated phones, all of which have...

Hi all, I have a 2018(2020?) Intel Mac Mini i5 with 32gb ram. It does everything I need, and hardly ever hangs. If it does it’s usually the app itself that hangs. It’s been a fine setup since I’ve been working from home since I purchased it. However, with things calming down in my country...

Does Apple Remote Desktop allow connections to Mac-Mini-M1's outside! of the same network with login screen access (no monitor connected)? (aka. does it work like teamviewer)? (one time payment of 80usd sounds better to me than 30usd for teamviewer every month)

I have a user who is testing Adobe products (Photoshop 2021 & Illustrator 2021) remotely on 2 community-used Mac Mini's (Running Catalina and Big Sur, respectively) in our remote Data Center. She is connecting from a Catalina (10.5.7) MacBook Pro at her home. For her testing, she needs to use...

Recently teamviewer has been throwing this message everytime I try to connect to my work laptop (on windows), rendering completely useless. I won't paying if there's a 1 time license purchase, but there isn't. Whats the best alternative remote desktop software that works for both mac and...

I recently had an incident where a hacker got access into my Google Authenticator app and into a financial account. He's very savvy and now I think he's remoting into my Mac. I reinstalled the OS and changed my passwords yet I noticed Dashlane, my password manager was using 27% of the CPU. I...

For many years I used Slink to connect to my home network, when I was at work. I have an always-on server at home that runs the Slink server. The client software on my remote Mac connects to the server and then tunnels all Bonjour-related communications through that tunnel. This let’s me open a...

Hello - I bought an iMac from a tech company that was auctioning their computers off after going out of business (through a third party auctioneer). The company is obviously bankrupt so no employees remain. I was told that it was restored to factory settings. When I got it I went through the...

Hi all, I have a new iPad Pro 12.9 2018. I’m a software developer and researcher. It fits perfectly for all my needs, except for coding. I’m really used to PyCharm and Jetbrains IDEs. I could try Coda on iPad with Working Copy but it seems more complicated than just having a remote desktop to...

Hey I have a presentation build mainly on videos and links which I placed above the videos. I want to use my iPhone to control the presentation. for some reason when the presentation reaches a slate that has a transition set to the end of it with a delay, I can't press the links that I placed...

I have a enterprise issued MBP that is managed via an MDM profile. Up until just yesterday I was able to connect to a Mac Pro server running at home for personal, non work related use. Because the Wi-Fi network at work blocked AFP/ARD/VNC and other ports, I used a VPN to circumvent that and then...

Sorry if this has been posted before but I could not find it. I am going to be purchasing a new Mac and iPad Pro shortly and would like some advise so I can decide which is best for my needs. I have an office where my Mac will live but I also sometimes work from home. Ideally, I would like to...
