    Hello @Jrb8008,

    I'll try to help you here.

    Firstly, I'd recommend checking if you have installed:

    • TeamViewer Remote Control on your iPad
    • TeamViewer Host on your iMac

    Can you confirm?

    All the best,

    Confirmed that both are installed. Screenshot from my Mac with an email of the screenshot from my iPad.

    Thanks for confirming.

    And now, when you try to connect, what does exactly happen?

    Ok - so when you enter the iMac's ID and click Remote control, nothing happens?

    Any error message? Any visual sign of something not working properly? Or just nothing?

    I have entered the 8digit number into the iPad in the Partner ID.

    Select Remote control and then it spins and black out for one second and then nothing.

    Have you tried to restart the application on both devices?

    They seem to be up-to-date...

    Did you check if you have the latest version of TeamViewer on both devices?

    Its funny you say that because Im not seeing the app in the MacStore.

    Where would I find the most recent version for the Mac?
