Remote Device Info


You can control your Mac using iForgot from two types of email accounts, either a Portable Electronic Device (PED) or an alternate email account, like your work email.

Portable Electronic Device Information

You can interact with your Mac using iForgot and a Portable Electronic Device (PED). Valid PEDs include cell phones, BlackBerry™ devices, or handheld computers with wireless email connectivity. Look here for more information:

Default Receiver and Alternate Control Account

Many commands will create search results or responses from your Macintosh. Since you will normally need the information sent to a particular account, you can configure iForgot to always include responses to this same account. Additionally, you can configure iForgot to process commands sent from this same email account.
