App To Control Mac Through Iphone
Recently we covered an iPhone app that simulates the iPod interface. Although its creator wasn’t sure about releasing it yet due to the Apple review process, another developer came out ahead and managed to get a similar app approved in the App Store. Created by Louis Anslow, Rewound transforms your iPhone into an iPod Classic.
Update 12/16: Apple has pulled Rewound from the App Store (via The Verge). However, the developers shared in a blog post that they will launch a campaign with the goal of offering the app on the web. Learn more here.
The app used some tricks to get through the App Store review process, which generally prohibits the use of images from Apple products or interfaces. It works just like any other third-party player created for Apple Music and you probably won’t find it in the store as an “iPod Classic simulator”.
That’s because the app comes with normal control buttons by default. The secret is in a function that allows users to add any type of image as a player skin. When you add the iPod Classic theme, which is not included in the app, it hides the buttons so it can be controlled by the virtual Click Wheel.
I tested the app and it really feels like I’m using an old iPod somehow. The navigation in the menus is done by swiping the finger in the Click Wheel. It also uses the iPhone’s haptic feedback system to make the iPod simulation even more realistic. You can browse your music library in the app through albums, artists, songs, and playlists.
Access Mac Desktop Remotely from iPhone. This option is the first among the ways to access Mac desktop remotely from iPhone. And this is through Remote Login.

Sep 10, 2019 Apps to Control your PC or Mac using iPhone: Just like Remote Mouse, there are plenty of iOS remote control apps available on the iOS app store. You can use any of those apps to control your PC or Mac using the iPhone. So, let’s check out some of the best remote control apps for iPhone.
Anslow told The Verge that although the initial idea of the app was to simulate the iPod interface, it was designed to support several other types of themes that should be released in the future. That way, there may be less chance that Apple will remove it from the App Store. The developer also promises to add support for Spotify, as of now, the app requires an Apple Music subscription to work.
You can download Rewound for free, and it’s compatible with any iPhone and iPod touch running iOS 10 or later. Some features can be unlocked with a one-time in-app-purchase.

Messages on the Mac works a lot likes its sibling app for iPhone and iPad, letting you keep in touch with friends and family through standard text messages or iMessage. But the Mac app has something extra to it as well: you can share your screen or view the screen of other Mac users.
You can invite someone to share your screen, or request or be invited to share the screen of another person's Mac, and it's all done through Messages. This is a great way to help troubleshoot problems on a remote Mac, and with a little help from QuickTime, you can even help with issues on an iPhone or iPad, too.
Here's what you need to know about screen sharing on Mac.
How to share screens with another Mac user
- Open Messages from your Dock or Applications folder.
Click on the conversation with the person with whom you want to share screens.
- Click Details.
Click on the Screen Share button.
Click Invite to Share My Screen if you want them to share your screen, or Ask to Share Screen if you want to share their's.
On the other person's Mac, they'll need to accept the request.
To stop screen sharing do one of the following:
- Click the screen sharing icon in the Menu bar if you're sharing your screen.
Click End Screen Sharing.
- Click on Screen Sharing in the Menu bar if you're viewing someone else's screen.
Click on Quit Screen Sharing.
How to control another Mac user's screen
Controlling a remote user's screen lets you fix a problem yourself, even if you're not physically near their computer.
- Click Control in the screen sharing window when viewing someone else's screen.
Wait for the other person to click Accept on their computer. You'll then be able to control the Mac as needed.
Click the Observe button (looks like a pair of binoculars) to stop controlling the other person's screen.
How to help someone fix a problem with their iOS device using Messages screen sharing
If you've got a problem with an iOS device, you can get some remote help with it using Messages screen sharing and QuickTime Player on your Mac. While the person from whom you're seeking help won't be able to remotely control your iOS device, they will be able to watch as you perform the steps necessary to fix it yourself.
- Invite the person you're looking for help from to share your screen.
- Connect your iOS device to your Mac with a Lightning cable.
Open QuickTime from your Dock or Applications folder.
