Ok, so i went to the apple store the other day. And i was on a Mac. Checking my facebook,youtube, etc... And while i was moving my mouse, it was moving on its own. Then "this person who was controlling the mac" they opened up Notepad, And said " I see you, yes you with the gray shirt." How are they controlling it?

[LordHawke13]

Finder > Go to network > "Name of computer" > Share Screen

This shares the screen using the Screen Sharing App in CoreUtils.

[esmall12]

mine only shows a white sceen

[Slimzy12]

Must u be on the same network to do this?

[MacMonsterPro]

could your mom control her mac at the same time

[crackercrumbs]

No. I do not have the sharing abilities enabled.

[Dreceon]

I have al solution on the question, i dont know the password.

1. Set the password on the computer you wanna controll

2. Wait some time

[Kim123miK]

Hey guys, try this, cool trick:

enable screen sharing on both macs, and log from both to each other, guess wht u will see??

That's right! a "mirroring" effect, like when u put two mirrors facing each other..

[crackercrumbs]

That sounds interesting. I will have to try that. Thanks.

[LordHawke13]

Oh no!! Black hole of the VNC!! You can also do that with "localhost" as the host machine in most VNC clients.

[Kim123miK]

And BTW, much smoother...

However, sound is NOT transmitted, BUT, anyhow u can access files with the File Sharing enabled from Sys. Pref's.

[Kim123miK]

Hi all,

I jst want 2 let u know that u do NOT need to install the Chicken of the VNC crap, jst allow Remote Management on System Preferences>Sharing, choose accounts etc AND then tick the box that says"VNC Viewers can control ...with a password", if u want password protection. That's it!

open a finder window on the other mac and go to the mac u jst configured and logon, done!

[crackercrumbs]

You are right, but I use a VNC software because it gives you more options over how to control the computer. I personally use Remote Desktop, but most don't want to spend the money for it.

[Bobberfrank08]

cool folders and dock!

[crackercrumbs]

Thanks, they are a custom design, but the dock is something anyone can get. Open terminal and type this:

defaults write com.apple.dock no-glass -boolean YES; killall Dock

That will reset the dock as the one I have.

To change this, change the YES to a NO.

I also make custom docks that I create in photoshop and change the dock settings using the Dock Library application.

[samanthacapocci]

I'm confused. Before I go through the trouble to find out exactly what your doing, will it work with a mac hacking a pc?

[crackercrumbs]

First off you need to understand it is not hacking and the target computer must be on a wifi. As far as I know this works with Windows. You need to find the IP Address to make this work.

[samanthacapocci]

Thanks!

Can you control a 10.4 machine with 10.5 leopard machine?

[crackercrumbs]

I believe so.

[MrMacintoshGuy]

when i try to go on my brothers mac, a bunch of screens pop up but the screens dont show anything they are just black

[crackercrumbs]

Make sure that your brothers computer isn't asleep. Are you running Leopard? If not it might have something to do with that. Also make sure that he is logged in before trying to control his computer. I hope that helps, if it doesn't send me a detailed message. Thanks for commenting!

[pilouhellsing]

i hate kids ,you should put music on the background instead of ur kid voice

[crackercrumbs]

I know that you are upset because your voice is more girly than I sound. Everyone sounds different on a microphone. Plus I was sick with the flu.

[sulhaq]

Can you control a windows PC from your mac with Chicken of the VNC?

[crackercrumbs]

I think so... You might need Bonjour from Apple or something... I will make a tutorial soon. Thanks for commenting! Rate and Subscribe!

[panfila12]

Sort of. Nothing pops up saying "Someone is remotely controlling your Mac" They can figure out if their cursor is moving or something, otherwise they will never know! Comment rate subscribe! Thanks

[macintoshmadness]

[kieranblacker]

controlling a windows from a mac

[IXCZ]

Anyway, I have to go, I don't think I should comment more on a company like Apple that will be gone in 10 years once Jobs does this year.

[IXCZ]

Jobs dies -> Apple shares worthless, like in 1996 just before Jobs came back to Apple.

Microsoft: 90% market share, 17 billion net income, CEO owns 58 billion and that all because of their crappy service, crappy products...

*** owned again ****

[IXCZ]

When Jobs dies, this is what you get:

In 1996, Michael Spindler was replaced by Gil Amelio as CEO. Gil Amelio made many changes at Apple, including massive layoffs. After multiple failed attempts to improve Mac OS, first with the Taligent project, then later with Copland and Gershwin, Amelio chose to purchase NeXT and its NeXTSTEP operating system, bringing Steve Jobs back to Apple as an advisor

[IXCZ]

The years before Jobs came back: "During this time Apple experimented with a number of other failed consumer targeted products including digital cameras, portable CD audio players, speakers, video consoles, and TV appliances. Enormous resources were also invested in the problem-plagued Newton division based on John Sculley's unrealistic market forecasts. Ultimately, all of this proved be too-little-too-late for Apple as their market share and stock prices continued to slide.

[IXCZ]

*** SUPER owned once Jobs dies ***

(Jobs=Apple=Jobs. Apple will be found guilty for lying to the stockholders about Jobs health)

[crackercrumbs]

Except those who know that Jobs paid a large some of money to fix his Pancreatic Cancer, and now suffers a hormonal imbalance. You keep saying the same thing over and over, what's wrong running out of facts.

Consider yourself PWNED OWNED and Otherwise TOLD.

[IXCZ]

"and now suffers a hormonal imbalance."

"running out of facts."

Do you always believe what people say, especially when there are lots of finances at stake? lol

[crackercrumbs]

Showing Jobs is the brains behind Apple, if Jobs died, Wozniak could come back, or COO Dan Cook would take over.

[IXCZ]

"Wozniak could come back"

Sounds like a sports team hiring a player in the autumn of his sporting career hehehe

[crackercrumbs]

Right, showing Jobs has accomplished more than just Apple.

He founded NeXT, Co-founded Pixar and Apple. Apple also makes video and picture editing software, which takes more of the market than Adobe and Corel.

[IXCZ]

"Apple also makes video and picture editing software, which takes more of the market than Adobe and Corel"

You're funny...lol

[crackercrumbs]

Jobs has a Hormone imbalance from when he had cancer. He is also vegan, a reason why he is skinny. In 1996 COO Dan Cook wasn't there, he is just as genius as Jobs. That was 1996. New technologies are out, Apple learns from their mistakes. Microsoft doesn't seem to get that.

Pwned again.

[IXCZ]

"Jobs has a Hormone imbalance from when he had cancer."

Do you always believe evertthign they say hehehe

"Apple learns from their mistakes."

Steve Jobs came back 13 years ago and in those 13 years Apples gained about 4% market share... wow... impressive

[IXCZ]

People are still using a Mac? lol

[crackercrumbs]

I know, it makes me sad that the low-tech Windows Users of the World still havent realized that Apple created the first Desktop Computer, Mouse and GUI operating software, well before Bill Gates was even 13.

[IXCZ]

Apple: 5% market share, 4.83 billion net income, CEO dying, owns 5.7 billion

Microsoft: 90% market share, 17 billion net income, CEO healthy, owns 58 billion

*** owned ***

[crackercrumbs]

Apple: Around $80/Share, CEO (Not Sick or dying) Smart, all products are successful, before stock market tanked around $180-$200/share. Good Customer service. A few years to make Mac OS X Leopard, it's great. Mac better graphics capabilities

Microsoft: Around $20/Share, CEO is a DUMB-FOOL, before stock market tanked still around $20-$28/share. Don't even get mme going on customer service. Most products are not successful and honestly suck. 7 Years to make Vista and it is screwed up.
