Oct 14, 2019 When I connect to Mac from a Windows 10 PC, using Teamviewer 14.6.4835, it connects but I only see the top menu in the mac. The rest of the screen is dark grey. I can actually click on the screen and see that menu change when I select a different window in the background, but I cannot see that win.

On a Mac Computer. Select the TeamViewer icon on the top-right of your menu bar, and select Show TeamViewer. In TeamViewer, make note of Your ID. You will need this information to remotely connect to your computer in the future.
Dec 30, 2015 Hi Warp, Welcome to Microsoft Community. Sorry to know that you are unable to connect Mac-mini on Windows 10. I will certainly help you. This issue might occur if the device settings are incorrect, corrupted or incompatible drivers or due to hardware problems.
I have recently installed updates for my computer and not sure if that has anything to do with it, however now I cannot connect onto Teamviewer - it just says connecting and nothing happens past that point, then the program freezes and I have to Force Quit Teamviewer. I tried reinstalling Teamviewer several times but still no luck.
Dec 16, 2016 I am trying to connect to teamviewer.com on my aunt's laptop. I am able to connect to other websites without any problems. I have tried with Firefox, Chrome, and MS Edge. All say unable connect. I know there is nothing wrong with the website, as I can access it on my desktop and my laptop. I have run Ccleaner, Malwarebytes and Superantispyware.

This software that this tutorial is based around is called “TeamViewer”. It’s free to use for non-commercial purposes. Which means you as a “home user” are completely eligible to use it for free, with no features disabled.

In addition, TeamViewer makes it incredibly simple to control a Windows computer via a Mac or a Mac via a Windows computer not just across your home network, but across the Internet. You won’t need to remember numerical IP addresses or configure your router – just install the software, follow this guide and you’ll be done in no time!

Let’s get started!

Head over to the TeamViewer download page for Mac (like will open in a new window/tab) and download Version 11 (eleven) or higher. At the time of this writing, version 11 is in beta, which is fine. Once the download has finished, double-click the .dmg file to open it. Now double-click the Install TeamViewer icon.
The installation is typical – you’ll click Next a few times and enter your password. Once completed, click the Close button.
TeamViewer will launch itself and the Welcome screen will be displayed. Click the Continue
Create a very strong password and enter it in both of the supplied fields. Click the Next button to continue.
Click Finish when prompted.
At this point the TeamViewer screen will appear. In the lower left corner of the “main” window locate the section titled Unattended access. Make sure that Start TeamViewer with System is selected (you can always change this, and all other settings, later). Then click the Assign device to account ‘link’.
Below the email/password sections, locate the link titled Create account and click it.
Your browser will open to the TeamViewer signup page. Create your account by providing the required information and then clicking the Sign Up button. Check the email for the account you used when signing up and there should be a confirmation email from TeamViewer. Locate the ‘confirm my account’ link in that email and give it a click. Another browser tab will open and TeamViewer will have finished creating your account. Close that browser tab (or exit your browser entirely).
Back in the TeamViewer App, enter the email address and password of your newly created and confirmed account, and then click the Assign button.
Back in the Unattended access section, click Grant easy access.
Nothing should have happened other than the Grant easy access line should have now be “checked” (see screenshot below).
On the far-right side of the TeamViewer App, there’s a window titled Computers & Contacts. Sign in to your TeamViewer account here as well.
In that same window, locate the My computers section and then click the “side arrow” (as seen in the screenshot below) to expand it into a menu.
In the My computers list, there should be one entry – probably numerical. Click that entry to select it, then click it again to rename it.
Since this is the name that will be “assigned” to this Mac, give it a more descriptive title. I used “Mac-Laptop” – as I only have one Mac laptop.
Once you’re done, you’ll see that the ‘name’ has changed to the one you just gave it.
You’re finished with the Mac part of this guide! Now it’s time to set up your Windows 10 desktop, laptop or tablet.

&nbsp

On your Windows 10 device, head over to the TeamViewer download page for Windows and download version 11 (eleven) or later. Even if 11 is in “Beta” – which it is at the time of this writing. Once the download has completed, run the installation file.
From the How do you want to proceed? section, make sure that Installation to access this computer remotely (unattended) is selected. From the How do you want to use TeamViewer? section, select Personal / Non-Commercial use. Also make sure that Show advanced settings is checked, and then click the Accept – next button.
Make sure that none of the three items are checked, and then click Finish.
Now it’s time to set up “Unattended Access” (the ability to connect to connect to Windows 10 remotely). Click the Next button to begin.
Give this computer a descriptive name. I opted for Windows10-Laptop since I only have one laptop running Windows 10. Then enter a password in the required fields. Make sure this password is different from all of the other passwords you’ve created in this process (and contains both upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols). Click the Next button when you’re done.
Since you already have a TeamViewer account (you created it way back in step #8) make sure that I already have a TeamViewer account is selected, then enter the email address and password associated with your account. Click Next to continue.
That’s it – you’re done! Click the Finish button.
When TeamViewer launches, locate the Computers & Contacts section. Click the “arrow” next to My computers to expend the menu, if it isn’t already displaying the list. You’ll see two entries – the Windows 10 device you just finished setting up, and the Mac that you set up a few minutes ago.
Now head back over to your Mac. You’ll see that a new entry is listed in My computers – your Windows 10 computer! Double-click it…
And a very large window will open – displaying your Windows 10 computer! You can now completely control your Windows 10 computer/tablet, via your Mac – as if you were sitting right in front of it. Don’t be surprised that your Windows “desktop wallpaper” isn’t displaying – by default, it won’t. This makes working on your Windows 10 device via your Mac seem ‘smoother’ and faster. You can always change this by going to TeamViewer’s Preferences.
As illustrated in the screenshot below, you can open any program, do work – absolutely anything – just as if you were sitting in front of the Windows computer itself, whether it’s in the next room or 3000 miles away.
The one thing that you’ll have to ‘tolerate’ is when you close the TeamViewer app, you’ll get a little reminder that it’s only free if you’re using it for personal (non-commercial) reasons.
With the setup you now have, you can also connect to your Mac from your Windows 10 device. Simply double-click the Mac entry in the “My computers” list from Window. Ta-da! It’s the exact same method to control your Mac from Windows.
At this point, you’re done! Take a look at the Preferences for both the Mac and Windows versions of TeamViewer and customize them to your liking. You can also install TeamViewer on other Windows, OS X or Linux computers, and connect to/control those as well. Head over to the TeamViewer mobile download page to get the iOS (iPhone and iPad), Android, Blackberry and Windows Phone Apps, if you’d like. Those will also allow you to connect to your computers – via your mobile device or tablet!

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.

If you wish to have remote access to your Mac computer from any device in the world at any time, TeamViewer can enable you to connect through a web browser alone. To make use of the Mac remote access feature from your mobile, you simply need to install the app on your iOS device first. 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.

Devices running other operating systems can be connected to your Mac through TeamViewer’s remote access solution. If you wish to have the freedom and flexibility to connect to a Windows or Linux remote desktop from anywhere in the world, then the cross-platform functionality of TeamViewer is your best bet. This remote desktop software is optimised for all operating systems and offers a fully-fledged, secure connection to which you can easily add a host of different client devices.
