A new version of its TeamViewer for Mac is out. The update allows TeamViewer to start upon system boot, allowing users to control unattended Mac OS X computers from an array of devices.

TeamViewer 6.0 has a new user-friendly interface, enhanced security options, and offers fresh connection possibilities for online presentations.

Whether you’re rolling with a Mac, Linux, or Windows, PC, an iPhone, iPad, or an Android device, TeamViewer for Mac accepts input from them all.

The updated solution offers a range of key features which, according to the developers, should make it an attractive solution for home office workers who need access to their work Mac.

TeamViewer enables administration of computers that currently have no users logged on when used for remote system administration in helpdesk environments.

“The promise of working on the go is here,” said Holger Felgner, General Manager at TeamViewer, one of the world’s most popular providers of remote control and online presentation software.

Felgner added that “Whether you’re gaining access to information en route to work, or if your work mostly involves mobility, all you want is an easy-to-use and reliable remote connection to your office.”

“We are therefore happy to announce the latest TeamViewer for Mac software, as it gives home workers and travelling professionals full access to their office, without relying on multiple applications running at the same time. Users are able to check reports, start applications and get data from their office computer, and also remotely reboot their system."

"With TeamViewer working seamlessly with all major operating systems, users can have access to their office Mac from a variety of devices, wherever, whenever they want—with no worries,” Felgner said.

The new TeamViewer for Mac is available immediately and can be used on Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger and newer versions of the Mac OS.

Professional TeamViewer 6 users can update free of charge. TeamViewer for non-business use is otherwise free.
