Newbie - File Transfer Only!

in General questions

I'm about to smash my mac up. I"ve tried and tried to control other devices remotely, but can't access them from my MAC. 

HOWEVER, my Mac can be access by my iphone. Can someone please tell me what **bleep** mistake I'm clearly making?  When I do access my iphone from my MAC, I get the File Transfer screen only. 

This is the only screen I have access to when I do connect...

Many thanks, 

Pau

    Hi paulreaney,

    Thanks for your post and welcome to the Community!

    First, no need to smash your poor MAC :) You are doing everything correctly.

    Let me provide a little clarification on the compatiilty of TeamViewer and different devices.

    You can connect from MAC to PC and visa versa. You can connect from MAC or PC to most Android devices and remote control them.

    You are not able to remote control any iOS device as this is a limitation from Apple, so this is why you only see the file transfer screen when you connect to the iphone.

    You can view and share screen shots in an active session to an iOS device but the end user will maintain control.

    I hope this provides some clarification and hopefully spare the life of your MAC.

    All the best,

    Jonathan

    Hi,

    I have similar problem but I am trying to conect remotely from PC to PC. I have 2 PC at work and 1 at home and ocasionally do a remote connection when I need to look for something or do a file transfer. It worked perfectly (version 14) but just yesterday I tried to connect to my PC at work and it opens ONLY File Transfer. When I close File Transfer the session closes. 

    How to solve this problem?
