I've got a MotoDroid, and Mac (but not an iPhone lol). My buddy with an iPhone and a PC has a free app that lets him completely control his computer, as long as its hooked up to the internet. Like I'll be watchin the mouse move and him typing a document on his comp screen, but across the room on his phone. And I want to be able to do that too. But I haven't found anything like that. I've seen the VLC download ones, but the free servers aren't available for Mac, and I can't find anything else. Does anyone know of an app that will do what I want it to do? I have the RemoteDroid that only controls the mouse and keyboard, but I have to be watching the computer to see what I'm doing. I'd even be willing to pay a small fee if I knew that it would work with no problems, especially on my Mac. Any comment is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Remote Access a Mac Computer?

I use Remote VNC Pro. was like $5 bucks. Just enable screen sharing in system preferences, and set a password in the computer settings button under Screen Sharing: On pane. After you've got that set up, make sure screen sharing is enabled in the firewall. Security > Firewall > Advanced. Then on your droid load your info and connect. You'll get your Mac Desktop and be able to manipulate anything on your mac system remotely.
As a note, i've got the machine that i vnc into in the DMZ in my router. Since my machines firewall is up, its easier to manipulate ports on just the system, than the system and the router.

Now I'm on Leopard with a MacBook Pro. I don't see anywhere in the System Preferences pane about screen sharing, and the advanced tab in firewall just asks me about firewall logging and stealth mode. Do I have to have Apples Remote Desktop? Also, did you have to buy the VNC sever from toremote? because that's what I thought I would have to do when lookin earlier, as well as buying the app for the phone.
Also, I saw someone wrote about androidvnc…*heard of it?

You might be interested in RHUB’s Web Conferencing, Remote Support Software - RHUB Appliances multi-capable remote access product, which unifies four real-time collaboration technologies – web conferencing, remote support, remote access, and webinar - in a single product. It works well on both mac and pc platforms.

I was actually just told about TeamViewer. I can access my work and home computer, both mac and win xp, easily from my phone, and mac to win. It's pretty cool, I don't need to know anything about security measures or IP addresses or anything. It's pretty cool.
But I'll check out the ActyMac program too, thanks!

Try using a R-HUB remote support server and let me know if this what you were looking for.
