fusi0n Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hello all, I am in need of a Mac Remote Desktop solution. I know I can use Teamviewer, LogMeIn, or VNC.. But I was hoping to find one that will lock the screen when I remote in.. So, I need to remote from home I can work privately.. Has anyone else found a good solution for this? Thanks!

Mr.XXIV Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Apple remote desktop does exactly this. Same idea, but of course it's $80, so if you're looking to unlock the Mac specifically, that's the only solution. :) On a Mac Mini, it's more stressful because most are unresponsive when connected by HDMI instead of a Thunderbolt Display. But, maybe ARD can bypass this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of your options that you provided, LMI was/is the only one at the moment that allows for macs to do a black screen/lock the screen when you remote into it. Of course LMI isn't free anymore so that may not be an option for you. It seems that this is a limitation of TV but who knows for how long considering how popular it is now. If you are using a mac to remote into a mac, then ARD is the best option. Of course that isn't free either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
