Accessing Mac or PC machines remotely from Apple devices


Our busy lives and fast changing schedules prohibits us from carrying our computer wherever we go. This is the very reason why portable mobile devices have gained so much popularity. All the necessary functions that computers perform can easily be done from these mobile devices, and with 4 to 10 inch devices, life has become extremely easy for all. Desktop applications of remote nature are always there to help you out, because they allow you access to important data and files from your iPad or iPhone on to your computer. No amount of setup is involved in this, and you will be relieved from all the stress of work related issues that you need to take care of for a client meeting, or when you need to access someone else’s machine remotely to fix any errors.

In certain situations, these PC related issues can be dealt with by simply uploading certain files to the cloud account well in advance, but this uploading will not prove to be much helpful if you ultimately need to remote access a PC or Mac. That being said, we will now be looking at certain ways by which you can quite easily remote access your PC or Mac from your iPad and iPhone devices. It may be for personal use, or for professional.

TeamViewer for devices

The main function to remotely access your desktop at your home, or your work PC at your office.  This application cannot be used to remotely access a family member’s or a friend’s machine, as the application is exclusively for personal files and documents.
