any help would be very appreciated..

I've never tried using LogMeIn.com on a Mac, but it says it works with OS X. It works pretty well, it's super easy to use and it's free.

Thanks SeanTeam ...that should help! and it looks simple and easier to use..

I use it all the time. Works great.

I used this everyday last year to connect to my work computer so I could stay home and still get all my stuff done. Easy to use and the basic version is Free. Can't beat that.

yeah, the main difference between the free and paid versions is file transfer. you can set up a dropbox account and put the clients on both computers and share individual files up to 2gb in the free version (expandable to 10gb with referrals). let me know if you want a dropbox account so I can use my referrals and get more space. head over to dropbox.com and check out the video.

You can use any VNC Client to access the Mac display if you turn on Screen Sharing (Sharing Preference Pane) and enable VNC in the Computer Settings of that preference.

Any remote control app?

Are there any PC remote control app? Something similar to the team viewer app for iphone or another one?
Thanks!

Gmote 2.0 is kind of a remote app, mainly for media though.
It allows you to search through your files of your pc, from your phone,
and either play them on your pc, or on your phone. Has normal, play pause volume settings.
I.e. if i have an episode of family guy on my pc, i can use my phone to play it on my pc, which means i can be lazy and not move off my bed and watch it.
Also if i fancy doing it the other way round, i can stream the episode to my phone.
Only works over a local wi-fi though.

Thanks for this Phil, it's incredible and free!
It works perfectly on my Desire and Windows 7 PC (even though the installation instructions say XP/Vista).

No problemo
Only annoying thing is i cant stream most of my videos to my phone , buts that not the app fault, its fact there mostly .avi .
Great little app for us lazy people! Very useful when your watch a series of something with 20 mins episodes and you cant cant be bothered to get up and go the next one!

If any of you use MCE try myRemote, its awesome!

GRemote Pro is also awesome, not free though...

Thanks for your suggestions but I was looking for something more than just file browsing and running applications, more like having my PC desktop displayed and the mouse controllable on my desire's display.

GRemote Pro will allow you to control your mouse cursor and type etc, but won't display your PC desktop, you're talking about remote desktop software, not remote software.
For that try the LogMeIn free beta, or PhoneMyPC.

I'm sure there's a VNC client about on Android

TeamViewer and LogMeIn are both working on an android app I believe

I can Highly recommend Gmote.
Tried it today on Ubuntu desktop machine and It's awesome!

Logmein is already available. Teamviewer is still in dev.

phonemypc is awesome. The execute Actions feature allows me (with the help of the app developer), to open a MS Access database on my pc with one button press. When that database is opened it automatically runs macros within Access.
I then press another button from my Android to close the MS Access database on my PC. You can of course remotely control your PC from your android. However, as mentioned above it is the ability to one button press an action that can be a bat file on your PC.
Excellent and well worth the money IMHO

If it's a remote desktop app you're after, have you tried RDP Client or PocketCloud?

UnifiedRemote looks pretty good.

Hi @all!
Teamviewer beta is out.
Can't giva a link, but it's on there side to download and not yet in the market.

Here's the official link : http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer.apk
It's an awesome app, I must admit. It works really good.

TeamViewer beta 6.x both for desktop and phone work excellent! Pretty much exactly what I was after for months.
Initially, their front page ad scared me. Some Indian and Philippine fraudsters were using the same ad on their websites with a different edited product name which looks very similar overall (and the same blue website theme). They were phoning UK/US homes disguised as a legit business trying to get you to install such a product on your PC with lofty offers in return (free software, movies, etc). The product allowed them to basically take over your Windows machine without you realizing.

Best mouse / keyboard app?

Anyone use anyone of those apps that let you run a server on your desktop / open up an app on your xoom and control your mouse and keyboard via the touch screen?
if so which is the best one optimized for the xoom? thanks!

PRemoteDroid. The server doesnt need to be installed, just a few files and you run the program. I keep a copy on my phone and Xoom incase I need to use it elsewhere.

If you are referring to accessing your computer remotely via Remote Desktop then I would suggest Remote RDP. It was free and works well on the Xoom. I am out of town quite a bit and access an office computer with it now. My laptop stays at home!!

[Q] How can I control my pc from my tablet like teamviewer but over wifi?

I recently tried vlc direct and vlc remote app on my tab, and it is awesome! Now I want the full power! I want to full access to my pc with pc interface( like team viewer or log me in) but over wifi. The reason I choose wifi because my internet connection isnt fast enough to make it smooth. So is there an app for that?

I personally use Splashtop. It's fast enough for me to play racing games using a ps3 controller over the wifi.

I use splashtop.if you have a static IP from your provider you can log into your desktop from anywhere in the world with internet-including tethered to 3g.just some configuring in router needed.

I didn't like Spashtop so I went with 2X Client. Works great! Also you do not need a static IP if you don't feel like paying for it. Go to http://www.no-ip.com/ and get a free dyndns account. Also some routers (like my Cisco) have built in DynDNS.org capabilities.

Splashtop HD works fine for me.

I use "Unified Remote"
Find it amazing for controlling my PC, tons of preset remotes, custom remotes, free version available.

2x works flawlessly and is free.

I actually had not tried Splashtop, it was a different prog. Going to try it out from when I am home. When not at home, i'll use 2X.
Edit: Tried it and it doesn't support multiple monitors! Doesn't really need to buy it should deactivate the others like RDP does. Also it unlocks your computer, so anyone sitting there can see what your doing and could take control if they wish. Needs more work but good concept cause it's fast!

I choose Remote RDP, easy and fast

bought splashtop twice once for my phone and once for my acer a500... (hd) love them... can use it over the web too with cable modem

Splashtop HD works great inside the house and out. Even connected over tethering through my cellphone's 3g. Best $10 I've spent. HD is different (better for iconia) from the normal version. Although the normal one is free at GetJar.com right now (save $5 - works good on the Dell Streak 7). Very easy to control my computer just like sitting in front of it, and even though it has to change the resolution settings on my pc it doesn't screw up my desktop either (It changes the resolution so there's no scolling on the tablet 16:9 screen even though my desktop is 4:3).

Maybe I am lost on what you mean, but Team Viewer works for me over Wifi.
I can do IP connections at home, and non-ip based connections away from home.
The only thing is on the client, you need to enable Incoming LAN connections in the General options.
Or...Is there some feature that I am missing?

Teamviewer has an android app. works great over wifi or 3g. Put it on your PC and you can control any device from any other device, even wifi tethered.
you could even use your pc through your tablet through your phone.

Doesn't 2x need to have a windows with RDP server enabled ?
Not the case for 7 premium :/

I use Teamviewer universally on everything, phone, tablet and PC2PC then I use Splashtop and Pocketcloud as my phone/tablet to PC backup.
Teamviewer can be configured to use internal ips, so if your internet connection doesn't work well it can jump to the internal network instead.

Dropbox style sharing for my PC?

Hi, I access my main computer from my netbook and galaxy note 10.1 quite a bit. I use an ftp server, samba/windows sharing, splashtop, vnc, and lately even teamviewer quite a bit to do a variety of tasks. I mostly do this from inside the network, but I open up a port when I need to... course that can be annoying and questionably secure.
Teamviewer seems to handle the remote control aspect quite well from outside my network and I don't have to open up ports.
I'm starting to think there must be a better way to share my files from my main pc other then samba or ftp. I'd like to just have the whole drive on my main pc as a mapped drive on my tablet and have it sync two ways just like dropbox does. And I'd like to do that securely, and as easily as possible. There must be a (free) application that does this? Anyone know of any?

Have you tried dropsync?
Or do you just don't want to use dropbox..?

I actually want the shared drive to be the one on my computer (that's always on)

Sugarsync is my favorite out of all the services

One option that may work for you is using a router with VPN server. That is the direction I went so I could still use regular sharing and still be secure.

There's also an app and service called Tonido.
You can select drives and access them remotely.

Www.box.com
Like dropbox. But you will get 50gb free
