    Best way to perform Remote Desktop while keeping the screen of the remote OFF

    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...

    Apple Music Why won't my iPhone know where the music is playing to control it ?

    Hi I have been using Spotify for a over a decade and i'm thinking switching to Apple music. I moved all my playlists and I have two month free. I use to put the music on my computer or on my TV and skip, pause, replay songs from my iPhone. The Spotify app always knows where the music is...

    All iPads Remote Control iPad over the Internet

    I'm surprised that one cannot remotely control an iPad over the Internet. I can control my elderly mom's iMac remotely via Screen Sharing initiated from Messages. I'd like to get her an iPad (for reasons I won't get into) but I want to be able to remotely control it over the Internet too when...

    Found a handy VNC server for os9 (apparently works in os8 as well)

    Just sharing, as I thought this was super-handy. os9VNC works really well so that I can run an old os9 powerPC Mac in another room and VNC control it from my modern Intel (and Apple Silicon) Macs via the native VNC "Screen Sharing" client software on those newer machines. A quick google search...

    iPod How can I remotely control iPod classic on a mobile device?

    I have the last generation of iPod classic 160G, and it stores my entire music library. I am using it as a Digital Source device in my home Hi-Fi system. Ipod's scroll-wheel control is quite convenient and fast when browsing music, but I have to hold it in my hand if I want to manipulate it. I...

    Loupedeck-like controls for Ipad?

    It may sound stupid question but I was wondering if there are any apps that can turn an Ipad (sidekick enabled or not) to a control console, in similar way you can use a loupedeck for controlling MacOS and a number of apps. I'm using the unified remote sporadically, that is useful but not very...

    Catalina and Remote Control Music App

    Hi folks, I tried googling and searching this forum, but could not find any solution to this. Am I mistaken, or is the ability to remote control the new Music App, previously iTunes, with your Apple Watch? Both devices are on the latest betas and yet the remote app on the watch can't seem to...

    iPad Control iTunes on an iPad remotely

    Does anyone know of a way to control iTunes on an iPad remotely? I have my iPad connected to my home stereo and I'd like to control iTunes on that iPad with either my iPhone, Mac or Windows computer. I also have an Apple watch if that makes a difference. I'm aware of the Apple Remote app...

    Older (PPC/earlier Intel) Macs and the iPod Universal Dock

    It’s possible my search queries are simply missing the mark on this. Maybe someone here knows (or maybe this is better suited for the iPod forum). I have the 2005 edition of the iPod Universal Dock (and I also have one of the first edition white remotes bundled with early MacBooks and MacBook...

    Remote access solution for cMP?

    What are the options to remotely connect my cMP 5,1 (Mojave) to my Macbook Pro 5,1 (El Capitan) over the internet? I’ve been using Team Viewer but it has become increasingly temperamental. I found an app called Screens on the app store but it won’t support lower than High Sierra. VNC Viewer...

    Hello, I am looking for a way to get a kind of VPN-control over my laptop which is next to the iPad, where from I want to access it. In fact, I want to use the computer and its programms, but actually without need of the screen and keyboard of the laptop. Is there an App for iOS, which allows...
