Product Description:

What is it?
teleport is a simple utility to let you use one single mouse and keyboard to control several of your Macs.

Simply reach the edge of your screen, and your mouse teleports to your other Mac! The pasteboard can even be synchronized between the computers.

How do I use it?
Using the convenient Preferences Pane, you configure which hosts you want to control, arrange them graphically like in the Monitors panel, and you're ready! Simply reach an edge of the screen where a slave host is connected, and you take control of the other Mac. The keyboard is acting like if it was connected on the controlled host, and the pasteboard has optionnally been synchronized. On the master computer, a nice notification indicates that it controls another Mac, and shows you the position of your mouse cursor.

To take back control of your main Mac, simply drag the mouse back from where your cursor came, just like when you have several monitors.

Warning: teleport pr3.5 does NOT encrypt data transfers. Therefore, be sure to have a safe network before sending sensitive keystrokes, such as passwords, on a slave computer.

What's new in this version:

  • fixed bug that prevented teleport to correctly handle mouse clicks when controlling from a secondary screen
  • fixed bug that prevented host to appear in the trusted hosts list, also leading to re-authentication
  • now using the "local." bonjour domain name

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.3 or higher

Got Teleport on my Leopard intel 8core Tower.... It also controls my old Dual 2.8 G4 Tower running Tiger Server.. I have all the correct versions.. it worked flawlessly for a year & a few months ago My mouse works fine on the Target Tiger G4 Server but typing I can't use shift or Alt for some reason.. It won't recognize any Modifier Keys I hit..

Any Suggestions

teleport Troubleshooting ReportHow do you switch from an Intel Mac and a PPC? - Version: 1.0.2, 10/22/2009 10:24AM PST

This software is amazing!!!!!!!!

I'm having one issue. My new MacBook Pro (Intel) sees my G5 (PPC) and the cursor moves from my MacBook Pro to my G5 beautifully. However, it can't go back to my MacBook Pro. I've activated the sharing and the my MacBook sees my G5, but my G5 doesn't see my MacBook Pro to activate it in the Teleport Window.

I installed the newer (INTEL) version on my MacBook Pro and the older (PPC) version to work on my G5. Would this be the reason that my G5 would not recognize the new INTEL version or my MacBook Pro?

Please help as this would be a tremendous asset. I'll mak a donation once this is rectified.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

This is one amazing piece of software. Just installed it on my Mac mini and my MacBook Pro, and it worked instantly. I can now forget about VNC or manually plugging/unplugging my keyboard and mouse, just control two machine from one set of peripherals. Very cool.

This guy is gonna get a donation from me... and if he finds the time to introduce a Windows version (for my BootCamp gaming), he'll get one again! :-)
