Plenty of iOS apps let you remotely access your Mac (as well as Windows and Linux PCs), and the iPad is an excellent platform for them: Because the tablet runs all of its programs full-screen, a remote-control app turns your iPad’s screen into your Mac’s. But while there are lots of these apps, one thing differentiates the best from the rest. Virtually all remote access iPad apps rely on Virtual Network Computer (VNC) technology for remote control. VNC is built into Mac OS X (for the past several versions, at least); it’s what makes Screen Sharing possible, among other things.
But while VNC makes it relatively simple to connect to a Mac that’s on the same local network as your iPad, it doesn’t help as much when you need to connect to one that’s not. Most VNC apps discover and connect to computers using Bonjour; once you’re outside the network, Bonjour doesn’t work. That means it’s time to get your hands dirty. To reach a computer on one network from an iPad on other means configuring that distant router to let you in. That means messing with ports, dynamic DNS, and other arcana that make many users uncomfortable.
It’s not only messy, but you may have to do it repeatedly. That’s why I recommend just two remote-access apps for the iPad: (; $30) and (; $25). They might seem expensive compared to most iOS apps, but they’re cheap for what they can do: Both let you connect to a remote Mac on another network with virtually no effort on your part. LogMeIn To use LogMeIn, you need an account (free) and a desktop client.
It uses proprietary technology, not VNC, so you have to install software on whatever Macs or Windows systems you want to reach. That software comes in several flavors; there’s a free desktop version that is quite full-featured. You need to set up an account because LogMeIn uses its own servers to mediate the connections between systems. Once you pay $30 for the app, you can access any number of desktop systems running LogMeIn Free from any of the iOS devices registered to your iTunes account. I’ve used Ignition extensively ever since it was released, and I’ve never had trouble making a connection back to a computer on which LogMeIn was installed. A recent update added file-access capability; that means you can browse machines to which you have access, and view and copy files from them to your iPad.
ITeleport Typing on a remote Mac from iTeleport. ITeleport is a full-featured VNC client, which also takes advantage of Apple’s Screen Sharing extensions for supporting multiple monitors. (Unenhanced VNC clients can only access the monitor on which the menu bar is located.) But while LogMeIn uses its own servers to mediate the connections between machines, iTeleport uses a Gmail account as the glue. It uses Google’s systems to let the two machines negotiate a connection without port mapping or other router fussiness. The connection itself doesn’t pass over Google’s servers, however. It seems to work well.
The company provides free Mac OS X and Windows server software, which you register with a Gmail account’s login name and password and install on the Macs you want to reach. ITeleport will also works with standard VNC clients on any platform, although you then have to configure the connections yourself.
Missing Pieces In some ways, it’s surprising that remote access is still so hard. I’m not alone in wishing Apple would extend either Back to My Mac or iChat screen sharing to iOS. Back to My Mac creates an encrypted tunnel between two computers, even over the Internet, allowing you to reach machines behind routers that otherwise block access. You can then use the standard Screen Sharing program (as well as other services). If Apple baked Back to My Mac into iOS in a manner similar to Find My iDevice, that would alleviate a lot of the complexity. Apple could also create an iChat screen-sharing app. (Add the ( ) to iChat, and it can accept incoming screen-sharing requests automatically.) But unless and until Apple steps in, LogMeIn and iTeleport remain excellent choices.
They let you use your iPad as a roving screen for one or more computers you own or to which you need access, whether you’re a few feet away or in ultima Thule. Both are well worth the price. Glenn Fleishman is a senior contributor to Macworld, and the author of (Take Control Books, 2010).
Remote Desktop App for Android, iPad, and iPhone BeyondTrust is the first remote support software vendor to enable secure remote control from mobile devices. BeyondTrust's mobile representative consoles for iOS and Android devices increase efficiency by allowing support technicians to stay productive while mobile, delivering remote support anytime and from any place.
A technician can control remote desktops and servers with a toolkit similar to the desktop version of the BeyondTrust representative console and configure SAML as a single-sign-on enabler for authentication to the mobile console. Screen Sharing and Advanced Support Tools See the screen on remote computers and control the mouse just as if you were sitting in front of it, all from your Android or iOS device. Multi-Monitor Support - In addition to viewing a remote computer's screen on your mobile device, a support rep can also select alternate remote displays. Special Actions - Quickly perform tasks without having to navigate a remote system's menus. Access Keyboard - Pass keystrokes and commands to the remote machine. Chat - Chat with end-users and other support reps within the support session.
Multi-Session Support - Conduct multiple support sessions simultaneously on your mobile device. Reboot - Restart the remote machine without losing your support session's connection. Use Jump Clients to Access Unattended PCs Installing a Jump Client gives you unattended access to any system BeyondTrust supports anywhere in the world: a user's Mac workstation after hours, a back-office Linux server or interactive, Windows-based kiosks and POS systems. You can deploy the Jump Client from your Android or iOS device during a remote support session, or you can email the client download to multiple computers at once. Once the Jump Client is installed, the technician can Jump to that remote system and provide unattended support anytime. Deploy a BeyondTrust Button Does the end-user have a recurring issue?

Deploy a BeyondTrust Button from your mobile device during a remote support session. BeyondTrust Buttons simplify support, allowing customers to initiate a support session with a single click.
Once installed the BeyondTrust Button requires no download in order to initiate a remote support session. When the user clicks the BeyondTrust Button, the customer client automatically opens and initiates a session with the queue specified by the BeyondTrust Button's profile. It can even direct them to the support technician who helped them the last time.
