I find it helpful to set the mouse speed almost to the max, otherwise it seems to take a long time to cross my iPod’s screen. I don’t know if/how any multi-touch gestures are implemented, so please bear that in mind. You can imagine that the cursor is your finger on the touch screen, you can “tap”, “push/hold down” or “swipe” with the mouse as if you were touching the screen. On the lock screen – You can move the mouse, when your iDevice is locked, to unlock it. Scroll wheel down- Activate/Deactivate music (Play/Pause) Left Click and Drag – Swipe (distance is a factor) Left Click – Tap the screen at the cursor position When using a mouse with Veency you have the following abilities with the mouse: I did however found this ( source), I hope this is useful: I have no setup to test this right now (no jailbroken phone at the moment). Controlling your remote computer takes a little getting used to, but it most certainly works. LogMeIn however, I would recommend if you more often remotely control your own computers.īoth LogMeIn and Team Viewer have clients for mobile devices as well, like for the iPhone, iPad and Android devices – allowing you to remotely control your home computer from your phone or tablet. I would recommend Team Viewer for those of you who use remote control to assist others frequently. But once you’re familiar with it, Team Viewer offers a very good service as well. Personally I prefer LogMeIn, as it seems less complicated to get started. No need for Port Forwading or putzing with your firewalls. Like I said: it is possible … but I wouldn’t recommend going through the hassle when you can use easier, free and much more secure services like LogMeIn and Team Viewer. It is possible to use VNC remotely – meaning for example while traveling control your computer at home, or control the computer of your mom helping her with her computer. Press ENTER when done and the Screen Sharing app opens. Simply open Safari and enter “vnc://” followed by the IP Address of the VNC Server, for example: “vnc://192.168.1.109”. This is probably the easiest way to open the VNC Client called Screen Sharing. It’s tucked away pretty good though – not sure why Apple did that. MacOS X, if I’m not mistaken since 10.4, has a VNC Client installed already. Note : RealVNC is free and has a very suitable VNC Client, but why install more software if you don’t really need to?

There are lots of VNC Clients out there, and strangely enough … they charge money for something you already have on your computer. It’s main purpose is to display the “screenshots” of the controlled computer, as send by the VNC Server, and to send mouse moves and keyboard strokes to the VNC Server on the computer that is being controlled. It is the program on the computer that is controlling the other computer. Screen Sharing for regular VNC clients VNC ClientĪ VNC Client is the otherside of the story.
