Once you enter the AppleID or IP address and press Connect, the person whose machine you’re trying to share with will get a pop-up notification. If you do need to find your IP address, you can do so at Google, with the key phrase “ what is my IP address,” or some variation. Either works, but I’ve had greater success with the latter, and it’s often easier for the person on the other end of the tech support equation - who might not know what an IP address is, or where to find theirs. Okay, from here you’ll just need to open the app, and then type in the IP address or the Apple ID of the person you’re trying to connect to. System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Screen Sharing.appĪpple, of course, could have made all of our lives simpler by including it in the Applications folder, but such is life when you’re an Apple user. And if you can’t find it, you can go folder digging. I’m using Alfred - a Finder alternative - but your search window and results should look similar. Fire up a Finder window and search “screen sharing.” This should bring up the built-in Screen Sharing application by default.
