Q: "Back to My Mac" prompting to "Accept" even with same Apple ID!
Hello All,
I have a work macbook pro (10.10) and a personal macbook air (10.10.4) . I'd like sometimes to be able to login into my work laptop remotely from my personal macbook. I've logged both accounts into the same iCloud account. I also synced contacts on both accounts (even though I would've preferred not to sync my contacts on my work macbook). I've enabled "Back to My Mac" on both macbooks as well.
However, whenever I try to initiate a screen sharing session, OS X insists on requiring the user permission to accept the connection. That defeats the purpose for me because I want to be able to login remotely from home when I need to without having to be in front of my work macbook. It seems that I'm only the one who's having this issue. From my understanding, this is only supposed to happened when the 2 computers are not using the same Apple ID. Which is not the case here. So what am I doing wrong? How can I have it allow me to login remotely without manually granting permission?
Thank you!
MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), Mac OS X (10.0.x)
