setting up remote access (mac)

I know this is probably a real basic thing for most of you out there but I am stumped. Can anyone help me set up remote access so I can wake up a sleeping mac and access my work desktop remotley from my phone or other laptop?

The sleeping mac is an imac desktop running 10.11.3, 4GHz itel core i7, 32 GB.

I want to be able to access it from one of 2 different macbook pros or iphones.

I've installed the relevant software and have been round in circles with instructions getting nowhere! Would really appreciate some guidance. Thank you.

You need to select both TeamViewer and TeamViewer_Desktop in
--> Settings,
--> security & privacy settings,
--> Accessibility

on MacBook pro (Mojave) then it will grant remote access.

Hi Scotty,

Thanks for getting back to me.

Yes, I need to connect from outside my network (i.e. I want to set it up so my partner and I to be able to access our studio computer from our laptops or phones from home or on the road). I already have the wake-on LAN manual but thanks anyway. I have been through it extensively and had no joy.

Many thanks for your help and advice.

Hi nickcohenkog,

Thanks for your post!

Could you let us know if you are trying to connect from inside your network or outside your network? I ask as connecting outside your network requires a form of public address and also some port forwarding that can get quite complicated.

We do have a manual for Wake-on_LAN here as well: https://www.teamviewer.com/docs/en/TeamViewer-Manual-Wake-on-LAN-en.pdf

Thanks again,
