The remote control feature in LogMeIn Free means you can view and control your Mac desktop and applications just as if you were sitting at the computer. Just like LogMeIn Free for the PC, Mac users can add an unlimited number of their computers for free.

Ugh.. with Safari 5.0.3 on Mac OS 10.6.6 with latest LogMeIn it asks me EVERY TIME if "do you want to save the password" in Safari every time I log into someone's computer. This is with the Pro version. It ignores whichever response I choose and does it over and over and over.... again... incredibly annoying and time wasting when working on large projects with many computers (as I am now).

There is a more affordable alternative to LogMeIn, that’s called GoSupportNow (http://www.gosupportnow.com). It supports both PC and Mac and also runs on Linux with WINE. It costs just $19.95 per month.

Overall LogMeIn is very stable decent product with only issue - its designed for Windows. You can do remote print, share you local hard drives with remote, manage multiple computers with ease and so on - all of these without headache of installing loads of software and in a blink of an eye...

But....

On Mac its has weakness when it come to control Windows machine from Mac - logmein remote client for Mac STILL using java and this solution consume a lot of system resources and not that stable and fast as ActiveX in Windows version.

Please, remind your developers that current generation of macs have very decent graphics cards as standard - so we all expect some hardware acceleration, QuarzGL, etc

As for now - excellent must have solution for Windows, and potentially useful tool for mac in a future

I have tried Logmein free and was testing to see if it do what it says it seems to, however without my permission they upgraded me to the PRO version (30 day trial) which has now expired and of course now cannot access my account I have emailed "Manny Kalra|Account Manager" at Logmein many times from as far back as 01 December 1009 "NO REPLY" was the loud response I am disappointed Harry

Yesterday a friend suggested LogMeIn as an alternative to VNC for screen sharing. This morning, Macworld Member Benefit delivered a LogMeIn ad to my Inbox. It seemed like the universe was telling to to give it a try.

I downloaded the "latest" version from LogMeIn.com and installed it on my iBook. On the first launch it wanted to updated from 4.0.966 to 4.0.994 -- first small red flag.

I created my account at LogMeIn.com and finished the iBook setup. (Along the way, Little Snitch reported numerous links back to the mothership -- second small red flag.)

Then I switched to my desktop Mac to see what screen sharing was like. When I tried connecting to my iBook, the site encouraged me to install a browser plug-in. Hmmm.

Returning to my browser, I'm at a LogMeIn login screen from https://my-ibook-tlpbyidbfn.app10.logmein.com/ asking me for my iBook user name and password -- HUGE RED FLAG. A website is asking me to provide my iBook admin username and password??? No way.

Now my only question is how to remove every trace of LogMeIn from both of my Macs.

Use the uninstaller. BTW. How do you think you can log into your Mac without using your password?!?!?

I eventually found the uninstaller to remove LogMeIn from my iBook. And I wound up using CleanApp to remove the browser plug-in from my desktop Mac.

> How do you think you can log into your Mac without using your password?!?!?

As I mentioned at the beginning of my review, I was looking at LogMeIn as an alternative to VNC screen sharing. I should have realized from the name that LogMeIn is more than screen sharing.

I've used a variety of screensharing techniques (VNC, TeamViewer, GoToAssist Express, Timbuktu). All offer password-protected access, but none require divulging my account name & password to a public website -- that's my reason for abandoning LogMeIn.

This app is GREAT. My bookkeeper uses it to update my books since my Mac Quickbooks is not really compatible with her PC version. So she logs in & keeps my books up-to-date. She never got around to downloading the Pro version for printing, so, sometimes there's a stack of reports on my printer when I get into office - but, that's ok. Saves me on delivery charges.

I love it when there's something on my desktop that's not on my laptop & I need to email it to myself. It really WOWS the clients.

Now if the iPhone app would just go on special. I just can't see spending 30 bucks on software that I really just use occasionally. I know they need to recoup the free versions, but, it's just too difficult to run my computer from my iPhone for more than just the occasional use. I'd spend $15 in a heartbeat, tho.

They also need a Pro version for Mac - then I'd think about the iPhone app a bit harder, esp. w/Print & Share installed.

Works just as great as back to my mac, but is free! Speed is perhaps not the best, but you get your things done, and like .Mac you don't have to configure firewalls or anything else.

Why do we have to negotiate through a third device each time we wish to connect? Whilst logmein has a page devoted to security, there is no mention made of what data is kept at logmein.com. What does this offer that the OS 10.5. 'share screen' does not offer? Or ARD?

LogMeIn just works with no fuss. It resolves IP address issues for those of us who aren't on a static IP. I believe that it also enables control of multiple computers behind a firewall/router with only one external IP address - no port forwarding required. It also enables control via a web browser, so while I'm at work on a Windows PC I can control my home iMac.

I have always hoped LogMeIn would make it to the mac. The preview version is superb, no issues so far!

At first the menu bar icon was very ugly, but the app updated itself today and lo and behold - we have a nice mac-like menubar icon now :D
