The table below lists the commands for clearing the DNS cache on most macOS and Mac OS X versions. For example: sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder say dns cleared successfully Flush DNS Commands on Older macOS and Mac OS X Versions Mac 911 can’t reply to-nor publish an answer to-every question, and we don’t provide direct troubleshooting advice.Note: If you want to hear an audio notification after the DNS flush is complete, type say some text after the first command. If not, we’re always looking for new problems to solve! Email yours to including screen captures as appropriate. We’ve compiled a list of the questions we get asked most frequently along with answers and links to columns: read our super FAQ to see if your question is covered. If you don’t own an Apple TV, that bumps up the total cost quite a bit. But remote access requires either a 3rd or 4th generation Apple TV. You can find a number of such items, including the roughly $40 iHome SmartPlug, reviewed at TechHive.

The $76 ezOutlet single-outlet remote power switch has generally positive reviews, and can be controlled via an iOS or Android app.Īnother option would be to set up HomeKit with remote access, and use a HomeKit-compatible smart outlet. Unfortunately, these devices tend to cost a lot, but they’re designed to be robust and connect via ethernet to increase reliability. But creating a remote Terminal session via SSH, a secure protocol that’s trustworthy over the Internet, requires setting up port mapping on a router or Wi-Fi base station using DHCP reservation (so your Mac has the same private IP address all the time) and NAT port forwarding (so an Internet-reachable network cubbyhole maps to the Mac you want it to).ĮzOutlet is an affordable way to have Internet-connected remote power cycling.īut we have the Internet now, and you can purchase the same kind of item that works over IP instead of a voice line. For business users without big budgets, I recommend LogMeIn, which is $250 a year for two devices.Ĭhris Breen’s 2012 directions on using SSH to reboot or shutdown a Mac via a Terminal session remain accurate, so I refer you there.
#Mac restart license#
The company charges a pretty hefty rate if you’re using it for business purposes, starting at $850 for a perpetual license for remotely accessing up to three devices. It can punch through a double NAT, and it’s my preferred tool as if works on practically every platform, including macOS and iOS.

TeamViewer remains the exception, being still continuously developed and free for personal, non-commercial use.
TeamViewer can punch through a double NAT. Instead of relying on macOS, you can turn to third-party remote access software, although my favorites have faded away and left active development, while ones that used to have free or affordable flavors have gone commercial and expensive. (In my case, the provided modem has some obscure networking features used by CenturyLink’s fiber-optic network.) All outbound connections work fine, but inbound ones can be a mess. If you connect, say, an AirPort Extreme with DHCP and NAT enabled to a LAN port on the ISP’s modem, you’re creating a NAT inside a NAT. A double NAT happens typically when an ISP provides a modem that also acts as a router, and which has features you can’t replicate or turn off.
#Mac restart password#
Warning! Always set a strong password for VNC, as it’s easy for attackers to scan for VNC and find yours if it’s reachable from the Internet.īack to My Mac fails with “double NAT” situations, which I unfortunately have and which aren’t entirely rare. Third-party macOS and iOS apps let you access any VNC-capable system.Įnable screen sharing in the Sharing system preference pane, and click the Computer Settings buttons to turn on VNC. (Just to be more confusing, Apple’s Screen Sharing app is based on VNC, but not identical.) VNC can work over Back to My Mac, but doesn’t always, as it’s not a supported feature. Instead of Back to My Mac and the Screen Sharing app, you can use the generic screen-sharing protocol VNC.
Screen Sharing in macOS lets you use the built-in version as well as enable VNC.
