Ithaca, NY—Most Mac users are comfortable using the Mac that they are sitting in front of, but sometimes that's not enough. Instead, Mac users want to control a Mac that's down the hall or across the globe, all without leaving their keyboards.
The new Take Control of Screen Sharing in Lion (TidBITS, $10.00 USD), offers the latest advice on screen sharing with iChat, Back to My Mac, the Screen Sharing application in Mac OS X, and Skype, and describes the current versions of iTeleport and LogMeIn, iOS apps that let you run your Mac remotely by tapping and dragging. (Although this new edition has "Lion" in the title, it is also the go-to Take Control ebook for questions about screen sharing with users of 10.5 Leopard and 10.6 Snow Leopard.)
Readers of Take Control of Screen Sharing in Lion will learn how to:
- Set up a Mac so that it can be controlled from an iPhone.
- Use screen sharing to help a confused relative with his Mac.
- Find and launch the built-in Screen Sharing application on a Mac.
- Control an unattended Mac over the Internet.
- Turn on Back to My Mac with MobileMe or iCloud.
- Get set up and begin to share a screen through Skype.
- Give a presentation to a remote location through iChat Theater.
- Wake up a remote Mac in order to control it through screen sharing.
- Copy text from one computer to another while sharing screens.
- Put a shared screen in its own full-screen display in Lion.
- Control a far-away Mac through screen sharing when another user is logged in to that same Mac with a different account.
