Friday, April 21st, 2017| Author: [Update: ] Have you ever been away from your home or office and suddenly realized that you a) left it on when you meant to shut it down, b) tried to run a report or access a system only available from that machine, or c) want to grab a file that you haven’t yet moved to the cloud? Today we’ll take a look at three ways to remotely access a Mac, something that can save you from making an unnecessary trip as we near. Back to My Mac Back to My Mac is a feature of iCloud that lets you access a network of Mac computers — or just one — from another Mac. If you just need files or folders from the remote Mac, you can drag them to your local Mac. Need to control that remote Mac as if you were sitting right in front of it? Back to My Mac gives you a way to use your local and or to launch apps and edit documents on the remote machine. The best thing about Back to My Mac? There’s no price tag on this solution — it’s part of iCloud and macOS. You’ll just need two or more Macs using the same iCloud account (OS X Lion 10.7.5 or later), an AirPort base station or another Wi-Fi router that supports UPnP or NAT-PMP, AirPort Utility 6.3 or later, a fairly fast Internet connection, and a firewall that allows remote connections. For those who work in offices, be sure to ask permission to use Back to My Mac and check with your network administrator to find out if the firewall will support Back to My Mac connections. Here’s how to set up Back to My Mac on the Mac(s) you wish to access: 1) Launch System Preferences, then click iCloud 2) Sign into iCloud if you haven’t already done so 3) Select Back to My Mac from the list of iCloud services (see image below). The Back to My Mac service is highlighted. Check the box to enable it. 4) You may be asked to follow some setup instructions. If so, be sure to follow those instructions precisely. 5) Apple has that are good to follow when setting up Back to My Mac. 6) Note that you can also set up an AirPort base station with an attached or a Time Capsule for remote access using Back to My Mac. To do this from a Mac on the same network as the AirPort base station, launch AirPort Utility (in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder), select the AirPort or Time Capsule, and then click Edit. Log into the base station with your base station password ( not your iCloud or Mac password), then select the Base Station tab. In the Back to My Mac section, click the + (plus sign) button, then enter the Apple ID and password you’ll use with Back to My Mac. When a green status indicator appears, Back to My Mac is turned on. Click Update to save your changes on the base station. Now, from your Mac, gaining access to the remote Mac or AirPort base station is a snap. 1) From the Finder menu, choose Preferences, then click the Sidebar tab 2) In the Shared section, make sure that Back to My Mac is checked.
