Q: Back To My Mac Help

Can't get it to work. Both iMac and MacBook Pro on 10.10 Yosemite. Same AppleID on both computers. Just me and no other accounts.

 

When I'm away, I like to access my iMac from the MBP. But the MBP doesn't see the iMac. It does see my Airport Time Capsule ac and I can login to it. And Back to my Mac is activate within the Airport. Just never for the iMac.

 

The iMac does see the MBP - but won't login to it.

 

I am with both computers right now, but I am logged into a different interest connect - not my in home internet.

 

Any ideas? I have disabled and enabled BTMM on both restarted, repaired permissions

 

Thanks for any input.

    Yes I can always see my iMac on sidebar too. But get the same connection failed. Why the connection works once and the not again is the curious part. When I'm at home with the iMac on the local network I can always connect to it. Which I do a few times a day from my MacBook Pro. 

     

    I'm intrigued why it works once and done so to speak.

    I have a dynamic IP address but I wouldn't have thought that this should make any difference to BTMM.

     

    Just out of interest. How about other people on this thread. Do you have a static or dynamic IP address?

    I too have dynamic, but it hasn't changed for a couple of years. Only when I swap or buy new Airport. And if I put back the one swapped I get that IP that it originally used. But I would interested if someone with a static IP has any better connectivity with BTMM.

    Ditto, music maker.  Screen Sharing works once in a row after reboot.  Then, nothing.

    Just update to 10.10.4 beta on a secondary partition on my Mac Mini.

     

    BTMM still does not wake it once it has been sleeping for a couple of hours.
