HippoRemote is a remote control app with better integration with various media players than Mobile Mouse (formerly Air Mouse) and Plex Mobile. Best of all, you can launch Hulu Desktop directly from Plex. Hulu Desktop is a remote-control-friendly app for browsing and watching Hulu videos. You can add your iTunes Media folders to Plex to access your iTunes songs and videos, however neither Plex nor XBMC can play DRM videos purchased from iTunes. Plex Mobile can also be used as a remote control for Plex.
#APPLE REMOTE FOR MAC MINI INSTALL#
On your iOS devices, you can install Plex Mobile to stream your mini's media to the device. If you want to stream to additional Macs or PCs, you can install just the Media Center on those. On your mini you install both the Plex Media Server and Plex Media Center apps. I find Plex to be much easier to set up than XBMC, but where I think Plex really shines is in how easy it is to share your mini's media with other devices. Use Plex as your remote-control-friendly home theatre hub. (I do NOT work for Logmein, just an IT consultant.I would recommend the following setup (which is what I currently use): Plex It is incredibly powerful, and COMPLETELY worth the cost of the annual subscriptions. You can perform various levels of remote boot, and even utilize a scripting type offering called one to many.

The Dashboard for pro subscriptions ALSO gives you things like the top fifteen running processes, all scheduled tasks, the most current 15 lines of the event viewer log, etc. More to the point of Logmein Pro, you can actually perform secure file transfers, and monitor the system in a dashboard. is a $100/yr subscription, to compete with their enterprise version rescue, but again the quality of the remote session is simply limiting and time wasting for the average IT guy who needs to help the user. This SIGNIFICANTLY speeds up the remote session to make sure things work right. The GREAT thing about logmein, even over their product, is you can cut back the color quality or even make it black and white. That requires WAY more bandwidth, and is pointless in most cases. The thing that has always been an issue for me is Logmein wants to boast about their ability to stream the remote desktop as HD, and frankly that is just bells and whistles to me. If the remote access is going to give you an hourly rate or save you time (and time is money) then it is WORTH buying the annual subscription. Then you are given logmein free subscriptions you can then tie into the account.
You can buy an account, and for IT people, you can buy Logmein Central, and then tie a couple of Logmein Pro pay-for machines to the account (easy). Logmein Free isn’t completely free anymore.
You can use other VNC viewer such as TightVNC and UltraVNC to access the RealVNC server. Similarly to LogMeIn, the free version of RealVNC provides a very basic remote access feature without file transfer, chat, session encryption, optimized performance, printing and deployment tool.

Do take note that the file transfer feature is disabled in the free version.Īlthough there are many versions of VNC which are mostly free, RealVNC targets the enterprise users by offering shareware version and cross platform support to Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, HP-UX and AIX. After installation, you are able to access that computer from any other computer by logging in to LogMeIn. 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. LogMeIn Free allows you to conveniently remotely control a Mac computer running OS X from Windows through its web interface or the Firefox plugin.
You can change your password, configure the voice, microphone and phone conferencing, access control and etc. The TeamViewer Host options can be accessed by clicking on the TeamViewer icon at the menu bar and select Preferences. The ID will not change and always stay the same on the machine. Enter the ID followed by the password and you’re able to connect to the OS X machine.

As for the Windows computer that will be controlling the Mac computer, simply download the TeamViewer full version, install and run it. You will need to download and install the “HOST” version of TeamViewer on the Mac computer that you want to remotely control.

Other than that, TeamViewer also works on multiple operating systems where it allows you to control a Mac OS X system from a Windows computer. TeamViewer is one of the most popular remote access software that is commonly used to provide remote support because it is easy to use and comes with really powerful features such as file transfer, switch sides, conference call, VoIP, screen recording and etc.
