Discover the different ways in which you can access a Mac remotely. Free for private use.

For RealVNC you NEED to use their proprietary viewer. (It may be possible to use the macOS screen sharing with additional software, but X11 has not been included on the Mac for some years.). You can use tightvncserver; I use this and start session with open vnc://pi@10.1.1.41:5901 on the Mac (change to your IP or use raspberrypi.local). Oct 18, 2011  I was trying to find an EASY way to remote connect between my home (Linux) and work (MacBook) Easier than the built in screen share app in Mac. Just pre-authorized VNC on my Linux input the IP address on the Mac and BAM. Done and done. Fast connection, too.

Mac Remote Desktop Connection: Manage Mac Devices on Your Network

Remote desktop functionalities are increasingly commonplace as individuals and organisations alike leverage their power to remotely access computers for maintenance work, monitoring from afar, and to facilitate seamless real-time collaboration between colleagues across the world. As such, it is becoming more and more important to have devices aligned, ensuring that remote connections can be established between machines irrespective of the operating system they are running. TeamViewer is designed to let you seamlessly access a Mac remotely from all kinds of devices including Linux, Windows and OS X remote desktops, so you can enjoy uninterrupted working.

When it comes to options for establishing a Mac remote desktop connection, Mac users have two choices: using Apple software or third party software, such as TeamViewer. There are two Mac options: the Apple Remote Desktop that comes at a cost, or the free screen sharing solution that requires forwarding ports and a VNC to be set up in order to connect with Windows or Linux devices. TeamViewer, on the other hand, offers an all-in-one solution for Mac remote desktop access, suitable for both private and commercial use. The private version is free of charge, while the paid-for business version offers a comprehensive solution and committed assistance for all your business’s remote access needs.

These connections offer airtight security and guarantee easy remoting to your desired system. Once you are connected, you can access a number of high performance features, such as screen sharing, screen recording, file transfers and VoIP calls. With TeamViewer’s Mac remote desktop connection, users can avoid complicated port forwarding and other configuration issues and bring full performance power to their fingertips.

There are a whole bunch of questions about very slow performance of VNC when using it to login to a Mac. Among them:

Msi ms 7360 drivers for mac.

I had the problem also. I've gotten around it, as described below.

First, my situation:

• Near computer (the one I'm sitting at): iMac 20'. Native screen res: 1680 x 1050. (2007 vintage) Running 10.11.1 El Capitan
• Far computer (the one I'm trying to see by VNC): Mac Pro with 24-inch Cinema display. Native screen res: 1920 x 1200 (early 2009) Running 10.11.1 El Capitan
• Connection: VPN from home to work over Junos Pulse Secure. Ping shows an average round-trip time of 24 ms.
• Using: Native VNC built into OS X: Finder: Go: Connect to Server.. vnc://[remoteMacAddress]. Running in 'Full Screen' mode with 'Adaptive Quality'.

With the native setup, I figure I was getting about 1 sec from clicking on something to seeing the change on my screen.

My workaround:

1. On the far computer, open System Preferences / Displays. Change Resolution from 'Default for display' to 'Scaled'. In the list below, select: 1600 x 1000. This change alone got me most of the improvement I see.
2. In the 'Screen Sharing' menu on the near computer, under 'View, uncheck 'Turn Scaling On'. This may have gotten me a bit more performance, but it's hard to tell.

Note: I think the key is, in step 1, to select a resolution that is Smaller than the native resolution of the near computer's display. Turning Scaling off just simplifies the situation a bit more.

Hope this helps.

Mac Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1), Cinema display 1920 x 1200
