How to Remotely Control Your iMac with Your Macbook from ANY Internet Connection

doesnt work, i have an external IP I found for my mac on our LAN at home, I have all the data he points out...i get hostname errors

0Nice video, good job. Don't think so, but can the MBP and the iMac be on different OSX? ie: Monterey on iMac and Big Sur on laptop? Think so, just checking

You are the best instructor ever! Nice

Hey is there a way to do this with iPad ?

can you add or make a video for out of local network?

Tyler please guide me how I can login my iMac at home from my MacBook pro on different Network. According to the vedio it works on the same network. Please help me on this matter. Thank you.

Thank you for this!!! Do you know why I can't seem to hear the sound on my MacBook when mirroring? I have tried unplugging my headphones from my iMac but still no sound on my MacBook

Don't waste your time! This only works when you are at the SAME network with the mac that you want to access. NOT ANYWHERE.

This only applies to a local network so unless the coffee shop was within range of your home wifi, you won't be able to connect to your other computer there. The IP address you hid is just a standard LAN IP no need to hide it.

that's not from anywhere on the internet, that's just within your home network

Helpful, but impossible to follow too fast!

can you use browser like safari and chrome on the connected imac or only files are possible? I am currently overseas and some times i need to access websites e.g. credit cards, bank accounts which i cannot access through my own computer. Can I connect my macbook pro to an imac that is sitting in my office in the US warehouse and do all the above through browser?
Thanks in Advance!!

Thanks - just used your clear instructions on my 2014 and 2018 Mac Minis, both running Monterey. In particular, I did not know how to use Screen/File sharing away from home, but now I do.

What is your Mac at home is in sleep mode??

When I went to share screen it asks for a username and password what should I put there

sorry, the video kind of blurred, i know that you open the remote login and saw its "ssh", but just copy the ssh?, no need to have any other command at the end of copy result ? thx in advance

not working for me for some reason...anyone know why? (trying to access my older macbook remotely which on OSX 10.13.6 via my newer Macbook which is on OSX 10.14.6)

Thank you! Odes my computer at home have to be on for this to work? Thanks.

useless tutorial

Can I remotely access my MacBook Air with an usb cable or something like that?

DID NOT WORK

Does it work if my mac is off? If not, how could I wake up my mac remotely?

Thanks so much!!! I can’t wait to use it

is it possible to use this without an internet or wifi connection?
one mac have a wifi connection and the other don't

Amazing! Thanks

Doesn't look like this works anymore for outside network as of 2021

you know what would be easier? teamviewer lol

when i change wifi i dont see the laptop......

It's not only for Macbooks, I changed settings on my iMac and was able to share files with it from Linux.

Hey man, I have a wild thought, I want to remotely turn on a mac,how to do that. this is very interesting, thumb up if you agree with me : )

What about the safety if using the ssh for remote access, does anyone know?

It’s posible with iPad Pro ?

excellent video, served the purpose, keep up the good work and thanks

it works for your home-network, BUT NOT remotely from an another Network!

Try Hoffman0502 on lnsta he’s an expert

i couuld able share the imac screen and files but audio is coming in laptop

will i get audio of a file in imac on to my remote laptop

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

doesn't work external , of course not. wasted my time

how do you copy file on one mac and at the same time send to 2en mac

Just take this video down. It was incomplete at the time and now is totally obsolete. Why are you wasting people's time with this in 2020?

what if your imac pro is on the eternet and the macbook is on wifi how do we connect ? and vice a versa, I would like to copy directly from the macbook to the imac when I am sharing screen how can I do this? thank you for your help

My dad is not very tech savvy. He needs my help using iMovie so he can edit videos. He has an iMac and so do I. Is there a way I can log into his iMac from mine so that I can take control of his mouse. It will be much easier for me to do the work for him instead of telling him to click on this and that the entire time. That’s exhausting. We do not live in the same home. So I am on my network and he is on his own as well. Your thoughts?

how to connect remotely Screen with audio i mac to mac book pro

dude, you have SMB server set and thats why it all works via internet, why didn't you mention a word about it?
