PC2ME iPhone Safari Browser Help
Introduction
Welcome to the PC2Me iPhone Safari Browser Interface.
PC2Me iPhone Safari Browser provides remote control of your desktop* from your iPhone or iPod
touch, using a Safari browser. All you need is a desktop, an iPhone or iPod touch, and the PC2Me Server from 1stWorks.
* Note: if you have multiple monitors, PC2Me provides remote control of
whatever part of your desktop can be reached through your primary monitor,
not your whole desktop, unless you enable the Multi-Monitor option.
The iPhone Safari Browser interface connects to your PC2Me server through Safari. We also offer the PC2Me PLus Native App, which installs as an Native App on the iPhone or iPod touch, and which offers additional capabilities such as audio. Please see PC2Me Plus.
The iPhone Safari Browser is a PC2Me option. This option must be enabled on any computer that you want to access through Safari from an iPhone or iPod Touch. See Options and Buy Now on the PC2Me.net website.
Overview
You install the PC2Me Server software on your desktop PC
computer, and leave it running. Then, you connect to your PC2Me Server from your iPhone or iPod touch, and view or control your desktop
remotely. Note that the PC2Me Plus Native App offers additional capabilities, such as listening to audio from your computer.
Your PC2Me Server has a unique Personal Server Identity that is created when it is installed on your PC. You provide that identity to the PC2Me Plus Native App on your iPhone or iPod touch, so it knows where to connect.
You connect from the iPhone or iPod touch through Safari, with this address: http://your-identity.pc2me.net
For more information, see topics in the PC2Me Guide at PC2Me Guide.

an Intel-based Macintosh under Bootcamp, VMware or Parallels.
PC2Me Safari-on-iPhone and PC2me Plus work with the iPhone and iPod touch. Some features are not
available on the iPod touch.

PC2Me Safari-on-iPhone Main Screen
The Safari-on-iPhone main screen has three buttons:
| Button | What it does |
| Connect | Connects to your PC2Me server, prompts you for the Username and Password you set for the PC2Me server, and then opens your desktop on your primary monitor. |
| Logout | Clears the PC2Me cookies, so that you are prompted again for your Username and Password when you connect. |
| Help | Opens this help file. For more information, see the PC2Me Guide. |
Touchscreen Controls
You control your PC by tapping or sliding with your fingers on the iPhone or iPod touch touchscreen. To use your fingers as a mouse, see the Mouse List, with a description of the Pointers you see. To bring up a Toolbar, tap with two fingers together at the spot you want to work on. See Toolbars.
Note: In the PC2Me Plus native app, the Help button on the PC2Me Plus main screen takes you to Quick Start with a Desktop Control Help walkthrough of touchscreen controls.
