- 1). Access your own computer by entering the personal password if necessary and then using the Finder to navigate through files and folders. Your folders will be displayed as either icons or lists, and you can click on the desired folders and the files within. Password protect these individual files to deny others access by opening the folder's preferences and adding a password there.
- 2). Download a remote desktop software program such as LogMeIn or TeamViewer (see "Resources"). Save the software to your hard drive and install it using the onscreen prompt. Customize the settings and preferences to match your specific needs and requirements. Create an online account with a username and password if necessary to use the software.
- 3). Download the mobile application for any mobile devices with which you will be accessing your computer, such as iPads, iPhones or iPods. Install the application, and open it to configure the settings and preferences to match your computer.
- 4). Open and run the software on your computer and ensure that the computer is connected to the Internet. Run the software on your mobile device and access your desktop using the mobile device to check to make sure the system and the software are functioning properly. You may have to use your online account with username and password.
