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.

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

Jeff2112--2008
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! :-)

teleport ReviewI am so impressed ! - Version: 1.0.2, 8/28/2009 04:12AM PST

I search for such a software since a long time and here it is !
- For PPC, you just must go to the developer web site where you can find a version
- Add the pref.panel only for the current user
... and it simply works ! Even French keyboard works whereas it was transformed into Qwerty one with Apple screen shared...
I hope the developer has a way to get donation easely... he will receive mine !
