Teamviewer Mac Remote Control Not Working

Posted on by

May 11, 2015  Learn how to get started using TeamViewer to remote control any PC, Mac and Linux computer. MacOS Mojave (10.14) employs more stringent security which requires a human using a computer to allow remote control; This same phenomenon affects other remote solutions (like TeamViewer), this is due to the nature of remote control in macOS and not a shortcoming in the remote software itself.

Sep 09, 2011  I have the same issue with a 2011 iMac 27' i5 and a network instruments guitar rig mobile i/o interface. Latency builds up over time and need to exit and relaunch garageband to get it to revert to normal. Interface works fine with Guitar Rig 4 and Ableton live with no apparent lag/latency. Ipad garageband guitar latency. Whether you’re using your iOS device’s touchscreen or a MIDI controller of any kind to record music on your iPad or iPhone, one issue you often have to deal with is called latency. Latency is the split-second delay between when you touch the screen to play a note (or press a key or any other note trigger on an external MIDI controller), and when the note actually sounds. If you’re experiencing latency problems with your MIDI keyboard into GarageBand, try the simplest solutions first. Solution #1: 1) Disconnect all of your gear from your computer and restart it. 2) After you’ve turned it back on and re-booted GarageBand, reconnect all of your gear and try it again.
