Hi Jesse, Your video produced 3 years ago helped me a lot today!!! I bought a Mac Mini M1 from Costco to host a ROON Core music management software tied in with a Bluesound Node streamer for my stereo gear. You demo and instructions were spot on so I say a BIG THANK YOU for helping me to set up a headless mac mini with our iMac. Best to you👍👍
Virgil thank you and your setup sounds awesome! Just note that if your Mac Mini reboots there is a chance that it will not get the same IP. So what I do usually is use my router software on my phone which list all my devices with IP addresses. If you do not have that capability then you can use terminal app and look at your IP of Mac you are on and just start pinging other addresses. So if yours is 192.168.1.2, then type: ping 192.168.1.3 and so on till you find the correct device. You can also install the command line utility called nmap which is great at gathering info from devices on your network. Cheers bud and have a great night and enjoy the sweet setup😁.
I appreciate the straight forward videos. Thank you. I am new to the Apple ecosystem and this was useful for remote management instead of constantly going to a users desk.
My parents are considering buying their first Mac by getting one of the new M1 MacBook Airs. They are a 5 hour drive away and even if I did want to see them I can’t because of COVID. Could I do this from my house and access their new MacBook? Thanks so much for the video👍
I am really surprised! Is it possible to connect via USB to MacB Pro 3 mini Spy cameras, that the video or pictures would save on my HD please? Are you located in Ontario, Toronto perhaps please?
ohhh wow.. I was waiting for my hdmi to vga cable from online store.. and my mac mini M1 was useless without display.. Now that is in use from my other macbook :-) Thank you very much.
This is perfect for my use case. I have a mac mini on a stage taking a multitrack recording from a digital mixer (StudioLive Series III 24R) via the USB, but the tech booth is about 100ft away. So this will allow me to create a LAN where I can control the mac on stage from the mac in the tech booth. I was stressing myself out looking into Extenders, repeaters etc, when I could just use another Mac to control it.
so basically when we go to golden time in school its basically where you get 10mins extra play there are 30 computers in our ict suite so i always used to use this trick
The Apple Ninja hello sir. What if I want to do this process but I am overseas for a few days. Can I still connect to one of my devices at home while I am overseas.
@@AppleNinja There is one more technique which I discovered, in iMessage if you click on the Buddies Tab, it directly gives you the option to ask for screen share
Hi, thank you very much for this video, just what i needed with my boy. Just wondering though if this would work using a different internet connection? Thanks and regards
@@AppleNinja Is it works file sharing external drive recognition streaming a home mac to a windows laptop? Also does touch support works on for mac an touch screen windows laptop? Thanks n advance!
@@AppleNinja hy ! Is it work with data input on the computer you share the source to , if so how much slower is to connect for ex. An sd card than natively to the computer that you are sharing? Thanks in advance¡
I just posted a new remote Mac video with those steps you are looking for. Remote Desktop Mac - Screen Share Mac from ANYWHERE! czcams.com/video/4rAD3DyBnKo/video.html
This is very helpful, i thank you for this!, now i have a 2 questions. 1 - It is possible to connect a Mac Mini (without keyboard, mouse, and screen) to a Macbook Pro and use the screen sharing in the Macbook Pro so i can use the monitor, keyboard and mouse trackpad of the Macbook Pro for the Mac Mini? 2 - It is possible to power up a Macbook Pro, make the screen sharing program automaticly engage when the O.S is starting and loading, and then connect automaticly to the Mac Mini?, so it could be use like the way i describe in the 1st question without doing it manual everytime. Thank you very much!.
You would need to have port forwarding capabilities on your internet router at your house. You would need to login to your router and port forward any traffic coming in on port 5900 to the Mac you want to control, using either a Hostname (URL) or IP address. To get the IP address of the Mac: 1. Open Terminal Application (Command + Spacebar and type Terminal hit enter). 2. Type ifconfig and hit enter. To get the HostName (URL) of the Mac: 1. Open Terminal Application (Command + Spacebar and type Terminal hit enter). 2. Type hostname and hit enter.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been trying to get this to work for months. I was able to access a remote mac with full control by using the steps you outlined in this video and port forwarding.
There is a way to remote and share the screen by using Messages. In my case a technical used this option one time just asking me the iCloud account associate to my computer, and that's all, he can control my computer from another part of the world. But when I try to do the same with a friend of mine, the option is not appear available for me, I can not understand why.
Nice, but while my iMac is in place at home, but want to use it from my MacBook Air any place I am going. DOn't think this allows me to do that. Perhaps I need a static IP address? as that would change when My laptop is out in the field and also the iMac might have a different IP out side the home office. Ideas? thanks, Carl
Thank you Sir, one quick question, What if the Maclady computer was in a sleep mode? Does it send a wake a lan signal to the sleep computer to connect?? Thanks
This is great! I want to use my iMac as an external monitor for my MacBook Air M2, I can get the MacBook Air screen shared on the iMac but how to resize it? I have tried it all, the format is never the right one "/
by the way, i have no wifi on the 1rst computer, so i used a Ethernet cable and used the IP adress that it's on SystemPreferences/Network/Ethernet and worked right away. cool
I have a Mack book air and Mac mini. Can I set up the mini to boot up without a monitor connected and have the Air remote control it like this? I want to take the mini in my camper and record live music without having to bring a monitor with me. IF possible.
@@AppleNinja - I teach a guy, who is losing his sight, how to multitrack record with Pro Tools on his mac and your tutorial is gonna be a huge help as I can't go to his house anymore with the Virus crisis. I watch a lot of CZcams tutorials and yours is excellent! Again, big thank you.

Thanks for your outstanding videos! I hope you can help me with my question about screen sharing. So call computer 1 the one in which we set "screen sharing" and computer 2 the one in which we set "remote management". I currently have 2 screens that I use on computer 1. I guess I will need to temporarily disconnect one of the screens and use that screen to boot up and set "remote management" on computer 2. After I have done that, can I then disconnect the screen from computer 2, and reconnect the screen to computer 1, so now computer 1 has 2 screens as I normally do, and computer 2 has no screens? That is, computer 2 does not need its own screen as I can see computer 2 through the shared screen on computer 1? ____________ Another question - Do both computers need to be physically connected to my modem/router using an ethernet cable, or is it possible for computer 2 to be part of the network some other way, like through wi-fi (my modem/router has limited number of ethernet ports). If I do connect through wi-fi, is that a lot slower data transfer than connecting through an ethernet cable?
Hey Barry, Yes you can disconnect the monitor and reconnect to your main Mac 1 which will be using the Screen Sharing app on. Just keep in mind that if the Mac restarts from an update the IP address might change, which if you have an app for your router then you should be able to find the new IP without reconnecting the monitor to Mac 2. This video here is my latest Remote Mac video and shows how to setup port forwarding to access the Mac from outside your home network. czcams.com/video/4rAD3DyBnKo/video.html The difference between WiFi and Ethernet connected has a lot of factors, like router type, Ethernet cable type, distance of WiFi and surrounding walls. The best way to find out is to test both scenarios and see which works best for you with your current setup and configuration. Good luck and hope this helps! Cheers!
You sir, should charge for this. $1.00 a view - I'd happily pay. This just made my life so freaking easy - trying to help my 75 year old grandma from another state. Honestly, Thank You!

Hello Apple Ninja, Thank you for your detailed tutorial in enabling the Screen Sharing on Mac. Could you tell us if it is possible for the computer that we are connecting to remotely to have the screen locked? In other words, we are trying to work on the computer remotely in private. Apple technical support is telling us that it is not possible. Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection locks the host computer during the connection automatically. Thank you and have a joyful rest of the week! :)
The only way I know of is to use the Apple Remote Desktop application and use Curtain Mode, which puts a black background with a custom message of your choice. Have not seen that feature in any other apps that I am aware of. Hope this helps and you have an amazing week as well :)
Here is a video to help you with that. I use my iPhone and iPad Pro to control my Macs. Have an awesome day! Control Mac With iPhone Remote Mac Desktop and Screen Share Mac To iPhone - Remote Mac Access! czcams.com/video/nlEFPapIj_s/video.html

How can I go into incognito mode? I followed the instructions and it showed "being observed" on the laptop that was screen sharing. I can't seem to turn this off and it pops up at the upper right corner of the screen next to the wifi bar. It looks like 2 squares overlapping.
Hey Mee Siam, Can you open System Preferences -> Sharing -> Select Remote Management and then click the options button on right side and confirm all options are selected. Are you able to copy files either direction? So can you copy to the remote Mac or copy from the remote Mac to your Mac? What versions of Mac OS are you running on both Macs?
@@AppleNinja - I have all the options turn-on but still could not drag and drop files between the 2 computers both on same wifi. My remote is a Mac mini on OS 10.6.8 and the other is macbook pro OS 10.13.6. I appreciate any help available. Thank you Apple Ninja.
Can I use this method to remote work with my new Mac Mini using a 2017 Mac Pro? I want to the M1 and 16GB but don't want to spend so much for a Mac Pro 14. Thanks.
Yes you can, but note that audio does not go over the remote connection, so you cannot hear what is playing on the remote Mac. Here is my latest video that shows how to do it when not on the same network. Remote Desktop Mac - Screen Share Mac from ANYWHERE! czcams.com/video/4rAD3DyBnKo/video.html Good luck!
You would need an app like ARD (Apple Remote Desktop), which has curtain mode which allows you to use a custom message. ARD is not free though. Hope this helps. Take care
what is the story to assist a friend where they need to share their screen with you while sitting behind a typical households broadband modem/router firewall, i.e. the macos equivalent of windows "quick assist"?
myusrn olk There are Apps like Screens or Bomgar that you can use to remote control a Mac from afar. If the user has a router that does port forwarding, then they can forward port 5900 to the IP of the Mac to control. When you use screen sharing to the outside IP of the router it will forward your request to the Mac and allow a screen sharing session. The screen sharing session is not encrypted so it is advised to put that SS session into an SSH Tunnel. I hope this helps.
@@AppleNinja thanks for the reply. so if the person at the other end isn't technical enough to create tcp/5900 port forwarding entry in their broadband router then sounds like macOS teamviewer host and the person helping them using teamviewer winOS/macOS client and no port forwarding setups would be necessary, agree?
myusrn olk I have never used TeamViewer, but it looks like a great option. You might be able to just use the TeamViewer QuickSupport option as well. Will you let me know how this works for you?
hi nice, question, I have started using two macbook airs, to hold my zoom one on one meetings. I used anydesk. However, looking at this this maye be better. If I want to use a webcam on the 'other' mac, so I can place it a bit further away, and control the zoom meeting off the one closest to me, how would you set it up? I use a logitech webcam and usb logitech headphones. Which ones do I plug those into? lastly, i record the sessions for the clients, so which one am I recording off ? many thanks, this would help thanks
I think I understand what you are trying to do. The main issue is going to be the audio, because no audio transfers over the screen sharing session. You could record the meeting on the remote Mac with QuickTime player Screen Recording, but you’d need to have your headset and webcam plugged in there as well. Let me know what you try and what works for ya. Have a great weekend!
This not work in all the Mac, I try to connect with another Mac in the other part of the world and it is imposible, it never connect. How can I add another user? I can not understand how something that appear simple it is very complicate...

Such a great video, I've used the "spy" option thru the lockdown on my kids' computers. But something has changed recently... now when I spy using screen sharing and all the settings you suggest, my kids' screen announces "your screen is being observed" - so I'm caught red handed. Any tips for me? Was this an OS update change that caught me off guard? Thank you so much!
I was trying to log in my Imac and it wouldn't allow me to login using my apple watch because it says it was being screen shared? I don't share my screen... have I been compromised?
Did you remote into the mac with another mac while trying to unlock with Apple Watch? I have not seen this message before, so I can try to replicate. If you have the menu bar item that shows screen sharing status it changes when someone is screen sharing to the mac. To enable the Remote Management menu bar item: open System Preferences -> Sharing -> Select Remote Management and select Computer Settings button. Within this pane select Show Remote Management status in menu bar. When no one is connected it will be binoculars and when someone is connected it changes to 2 small screen squares.
@@AppleNinja no, didn’t even know it was possible. I was trying to log in my iMac and it wouldn’t log me in and it had a message on the screen that says I can’t log in with my Apple Watch because my screen was being shared

Hi Jesse,
Your video produced 3 years ago helped me a lot today!!! I bought a Mac Mini M1 from Costco to host a ROON Core music management software tied in with a Bluesound Node streamer for my stereo gear. You demo and instructions were spot on so I say a BIG THANK YOU for helping me to set up a headless mac mini with our iMac. Best to you👍👍
Virgil thank you and your setup sounds awesome! Just note that if your Mac Mini reboots there is a chance that it will not get the same IP. So what I do usually is use my router software on my phone which list all my devices with IP addresses. If you do not have that capability then you can use terminal app and look at your IP of Mac you are on and just start pinging other addresses. So if yours is 192.168.1.2, then type: ping 192.168.1.3 and so on till you find the correct device. You can also install the command line utility called nmap which is great at gathering info from devices on your network.
Cheers bud and have a great night and enjoy the sweet setup😁.

They are a 5 hour drive away and even if I did want to see them I can’t because of COVID. Could I do this from my house and access their new MacBook?
Thanks so much for the video👍
I am really surprised! Is it possible to connect via USB to MacB Pro 3 mini Spy cameras, that the video or pictures would save on my HD please? Are you located in Ontario, Toronto perhaps please?
Thank you! Really helped us, especially during these times of isolation!
Thank you! This really helped for what I was looking for. And love how simple, easy and straightforward you explained...! 😃
Thanks for the positive feedback 😁
Does this work with different OSX? And will I be able to run any applications once I'm in? Like turn on the spotify on the computer, etc...
ohhh wow.. I was waiting for my hdmi to vga cable from online store.. and my mac mini M1 was useless without display.. Now that is in use from my other macbook :-)
Thank you very much.
This is perfect for my use case.
I have a mac mini on a stage taking a multitrack recording from a digital mixer (StudioLive Series III 24R) via the USB, but the tech booth is about 100ft away. So this will allow me to create a LAN where I can control the mac on stage from the mac in the tech booth.
I was stressing myself out looking into Extenders, repeaters etc, when I could just use another Mac to control it.
Heck yeah this is perfect for that! We use to do this same type of remote control back when I worked in television. Glad it works for ya!
so basically when we go to golden time in school its basically where you get 10mins extra play there are 30 computers in our ict suite so i always used to use this trick
useful stuff!
I almost bought some paid apps just to connect between my macs. Thank you!
Great job and simple to follow. That just made my life so much easier, thanks for posting.

1 - It is possible to connect a Mac Mini (without keyboard, mouse, and screen) to a Macbook Pro and use the screen sharing in the Macbook Pro so i can use the monitor, keyboard and mouse trackpad of the Macbook Pro for the Mac Mini?
2 - It is possible to power up a Macbook Pro, make the screen sharing program automaticly engage when the O.S is starting and loading, and then connect automaticly to the Mac Mini?, so it could be use like the way i describe in the 1st question without doing it manual everytime.
Thank you very much!.

Your information is 2 years old. Some of us have a macOS 12.0 (Monterey) as December 2021. Is the setting different now?
Do both have to be on the same network? Or can you follow this process to a mac in a whole other town?
Thanks. Can this be done without being on the same network?
You would need to have port forwarding capabilities on your internet router at your house. You would need to login to your router and port forward any traffic coming in on port 5900 to the Mac you want to control, using either a Hostname (URL) or IP address.
To get the IP address of the Mac:

Great video, thanks very much for sharing, best wishes...
Thanks Philip! Have an amazing day.
while working remotely like this can you also do voip calls?
Thanks for your outstanding videos! I hope you can help me with my question about screen sharing.
So call computer 1 the one in which we set "screen sharing" and computer 2 the one in which we set "remote management".
I currently have 2 screens that I use on computer 1. I guess I will need to temporarily disconnect one of the screens and use that screen to boot up and set "remote management" on computer 2.
After I have done that, can I then disconnect the screen from computer 2, and reconnect the screen to computer 1, so now computer 1 has 2 screens as I normally do, and computer 2 has no screens? That is, computer 2 does not need its own screen as I can see computer 2 through the shared screen on computer 1?
____________
Another question - Do both computers need to be physically connected to my modem/router using an ethernet cable, or is it possible for computer 2 to be part of the network some other way, like through wi-fi (my modem/router has limited number of ethernet ports).
If I do connect through wi-fi, is that a lot slower data transfer than connecting through an ethernet cable?
Hey Barry,
Yes you can disconnect the monitor and reconnect to your main Mac 1 which will be using the Screen Sharing app on. Just keep in mind that if the Mac restarts from an update the IP address might change, which if you have an app for your router then you should be able to find the new IP without reconnecting the monitor to Mac 2.
This video here is my latest Remote Mac video and shows how to setup port forwarding to access the Mac from outside your home network. czcams.com/video/4rAD3DyBnKo/video.html
The difference between WiFi and Ethernet connected has a lot of factors, like router type, Ethernet cable type, distance of WiFi and surrounding walls. The best way to find out is to test both scenarios and see which works best for you with your current setup and configuration.
Good luck and hope this helps! Cheers!

Hello Apple Ninja,
Thank you for your detailed tutorial in enabling the Screen Sharing on Mac.
Could you tell us if it is possible for the computer that we are connecting to remotely to have the screen locked? In other words, we are trying to work on the computer remotely in private. Apple technical support is telling us that it is not possible. Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection locks the host computer during the connection automatically.
Thank you and have a joyful rest of the week! :)
The only way I know of is to use the Apple Remote Desktop application and use Curtain Mode, which puts a black background with a custom message of your choice. Have not seen that feature in any other apps that I am aware of.
Hope this helps and you have an amazing week as well :)

Thanks a lot. This helped
Glad it worked for ya! Have a great day!
Fantastic 😊
Thank you so much. Can I also share the audio with this method?
Unfortunately it does not share audio over the remote session.
Screen Sharing requires both macs to be on the same local network, right? That makes it less-than-useful for many remote control applications.
I am planning to release a video Friday that shows how to configure your home router to allow remote access.
what is the story to assist a friend where they need to share their screen with you while sitting behind a typical households broadband modem/router firewall, i.e. the macos equivalent of windows "quick assist"?
myusrn olk There are Apps like Screens or Bomgar that you can use to remote control a Mac from afar. If the user has a router that does port forwarding, then they can forward port 5900 to the IP of the Mac to control. When you use screen sharing to the outside IP of the router it will forward your request to the Mac and allow a screen sharing session. The screen sharing session is not encrypted so it is advised to put that SS session into an SSH Tunnel. I hope this helps.
@@AppleNinja thanks for the reply. so if the person at the other end isn't technical enough to create tcp/5900 port forwarding entry in their broadband router then sounds like macOS teamviewer host and the person helping them using teamviewer winOS/macOS client and no port forwarding setups would be necessary, agree?
myusrn olk I have never used TeamViewer, but it looks like a great option. You might be able to just use the TeamViewer QuickSupport option as well. Will you let me know how this works for you?
do you just know to username and password for the (mac lady) or did you mean you have to create a new used on teh ( mac lady ) computer
That's a great question. I assume he knew Maclady's password. Many people, understandably, won't want to give out their password.
is it possible to do this without wifi connection?
Thanks in advance
How do I do this over the internet? Can you make video how to please.
thank you much!
How do you get into the incognito mode?

hi nice, question, I have started using two macbook airs, to hold my zoom one on one meetings. I used anydesk. However, looking at this this maye be better. If I want to use a webcam on the 'other' mac, so I can place it a bit further away, and control the zoom meeting off the one closest to me, how would you set it up? I use a logitech webcam and usb logitech headphones. Which ones do I plug those into? lastly, i record the sessions for the clients, so which one am I recording off ? many thanks, this would help thanks
I think I understand what you are trying to do. The main issue is going to be the audio, because no audio transfers over the screen sharing session. You could record the meeting on the remote Mac with QuickTime player Screen Recording, but you’d need to have your headset and webcam plugged in there as well. Let me know what you try and what works for ya. Have a great weekend!

Do they have to be on the same network, can I access my sons Mac in a different location to see his screen when he needs help installing stuff, or even install stuff for him remotely
I created another video to show how to do it off network: czcams.com/video/4rAD3DyBnKo/video.html
why doesn't my macair show up in the userlist on my imac... do i need to be on the same OS version?? cuz my imac can only go up to catalina but my macair is in big sur. does anyone know?!
Hey mate, quick question, can you listen to the audio of the remote computer from your mac?
Eg: remote mac is playing video, and you wan to listen
Unfortunately you cannot. We should get that in as a feature request for Apple to add it. Have an awesome Saturday bud.
I think a key piece is missing here - how do you define a "User?" - where did 'MacLady' come from?
He added it for the purpose of this video to show how to link two different computers. He added it from System Prefs/Users and Groups
What do you do if the macs aren’t on the same network? Looking to remote into my mother’s Mac from my house to her house
You would need to have port forwarding capabilities on your mom’s internet router at her house. You would need to login to her router and port forward any traffic coming in on port 5900 to the Mac you want to control, using either a Hostname (URL) or IP address.
To get the IP address of the Mac:
1. Open Terminal Application (Command + Spacebar and type Terminal hit enter).
2. Type ifconfig and hit enter.
To get the HostName (URL) of the Mac:
1. Open Terminal Application (Command + Spacebar and type Terminal hit enter).
2. Type hostname and hit enter.
Here are a few options that would allow the ability when not on the same network without configuring Port Forwarding on your Router:

Very good but I need to remote in from a different location !
is ther a way to do it with MDM managenet ON THE DEVICE?
Yes you can with either built-in functionality or by deploying a script to enable, but not with just an MDM Management Profile. Jamf has the Jamf Remote Application which allows the same functionality for Screen Sharing into a Jamf Managed Mac.
@@AppleNinja thanks I will look into Jamf.
Thank you my friend codos to you :-)
Hey Lawrence thank you! Here is my latest remote mac video which shows how to setup port forwarding for remote access from outside your network. Have an awesome day bud!

@@AppleNinja Nice1 matey :-) Subs!! 4 your channel 4 sure!
anyway to do this with a mac and a cromebook?
Adin you can, but I have not done it, so I do not know exact steps. Here is an article that might help ya. support.google.com/chromebook/answer/1649523?hl=en&co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop#zippy=
trying to find out if this is possible with the new M1 Macs?
Yes, it works same for Intel and M1. Cheers!
Such a great video, I've used the "spy" option thru the lockdown on my kids' computers. But something has changed recently... now when I spy using screen sharing and all the settings you suggest, my kids' screen announces "your screen is being observed" - so I'm caught red handed. Any tips for me? Was this an OS update change that caught me off guard? Thank you so much!
Or! Do my kids' machines have to be "standard" user account (vs. administrator)? Thanks
is there anyway to get rid off someone remotely managing my mac? thanks
I was trying to log in my Imac and it wouldn't allow me to login using my apple watch because it says it was being screen shared? I don't share my screen... have I been compromised?
Did you remote into the mac with another mac while trying to unlock with Apple Watch? I have not seen this message before, so I can try to replicate. If you have the menu bar item that shows screen sharing status it changes when someone is screen sharing to the mac.
To enable the Remote Management menu bar item: open System Preferences -> Sharing -> Select Remote Management and select Computer Settings button. Within this pane select Show Remote Management status in menu bar.
When no one is connected it will be binoculars and when someone is connected it changes to 2 small screen squares.
@@AppleNinja no, didn’t even know it was possible. I was trying to log in my iMac and it wouldn’t log me in and it had a message on the screen that says I can’t log in with my Apple Watch because my screen was being shared
And it had this icon on the top right of my screen that looked it like two squares on top of each other
Copy paste is not working while we use remote access in zoom mac and Windows 2 devices
this is just f******g amazing cool man，appreciate for sharing.
Thanks Byron! Have an awesome weekend bud!
