Remote Desktop

Wow! I'm utterly confused by all of this networking stuff, but a step-by-step guide like that sure could help. I only wish something similar was available which explains how to connect two Macs together (I want to show my mom who just got an iMac how to use it, by setting up a remote desktop). I also have a Mac, but have never set anything like that up before and could need a...

My mom just bought an iMac yesterday, but feels pretty clueless. I'm going to get her a good newbie book when I find one, but prior to that I'd like to show her the very basics.

Do you at least have the firewall on your Mac On, and have services like Apple remote desktop and remote login turned off? ...

e and I don't know if there is an easy fix. I have a friend on a windows computer in Canada. She wants to get into my Mac computer in New York. I turned on Apple Remote Desktop and did the password requirement thing. I also turned on my ftp server. When she tries to VNC in with any of her programs, it says she can not connect. ...

According to the official description in http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/User_Management_Admin_v10.4.pdf, the command-line tool should be the non-application tool. When I called those tools in my own application, such as who, wc, and so on. Those commands still could be launched though I disabled the option of "Allow UNIX tools to run". In another...

One other app that you might want to try is Microsoft's Remote Desktop Connection for the Mac. It's basically the same Remote Desktop Client that comes with Windows XP, but for the Mac. ...
