Nov 04, 2016 Question: Q: How to: Remote assistance - Mac to Mac My mom, wife and I all have Macs running Sierra. I use TeamViewer between my work/home devices however was thinking there might be an easier solution built into Sierra. Although LogMeIn discontinued its free version in 2014, the paid alternative called LogMeIn Pro is one of the best remote desktop tools for Mac on the market. This remote computer access application gives businesses a way to access their desktop files from any device, even mobile devices. Enable or disable remote management using System Preferences. On the client computer, choose Apple menu System Preferences, then click Sharing. If you see a lock icon, click it and enter the name and password of a user with administrator privileges on the computer. Select or deselect the Remote Management checkbox.

LogMeIn Free allows you to conveniently remotely control a Mac computer running OS X from Windows through its web interface or the Firefox plugin. First you will need to create a free account, then login from the Mac computer and click the Add Computer button to download the LogMeIn Installer.

Provide complete technical assistance to all the computers on your network without ever leaving your desk. Apple Remote Desktop gives you screen-sharing and text-messaging capabilities, along with a wide range of powerful remote assistance tools.

Assistance

Thanks to screen sharing, you can observe 1, 10, even 50 screens in action simultaneously, allowing you to closely monitor your network. And that’s your entire network — not just Mac computers. You can also view and control the screens of any Virtual Network Computing (VNC)-enabled computer, including Windows, Linux, and UNIX. When a user needs assistance, you take control of any individual screen and view the remote desktop in full-screen mode.

Remote Drag and Drop

If the situation requires more than just a demonstration, you can easily transfer files and folders between your computer and a user’s computer by a simple drag and drop (or copy and paste). With pinpoint accuracy, you can graphically copy files to a particular location in the Finder, or directly into any application or document window on the remote computer.

System status indicators

System status indicators are perfect for a quick check on all your systems. A summary view gives you insight into the overall health of a system. Detailed views give color-coded status of CPU, disk, and memory usage. Color indicators change from green to yellow to red when usage levels reach a defined threshold.

Curtain Mode

How To Remote Into A Mac

What if you’re doing some fine-tuning but would prefer to keep the work hidden from the outside world? Turn on Curtain Mode and the local user’s view of the desktop is hidden. You can still view and have full control of the remote system’s desktop, but no one else will be able to see what’s happening. This feature is perfect for those managing systems that have public displays, such as in museums or kiosks.

Apple Remote Desktop also lets you send text messages to an individual or to all your clients. So those “mandatory upgrade” announcements will always be seen. And if your clients ever need your attention, they can do the same. For more detailed messages, initiate a private real-time,one-to-one text chat. You can be sure your clients will always get your message.
