I tried everything to connect to my mac but it does not work. In the Preferences of GM - MacOSX tab, I click Check Mac Connection - always the same message Unable to connect to Mac check host name AND user name (with password) are valid.

By the way, I tried everything suggested in the "Unable to conenct to my mac" topic in Studio - Mac thread.
I see my Mac from the file sharing Windows. When I select Create Application, I can even locate the Mac from file sharing to save the IPA. Then it compiles and at the end I get this error message FATAL ERROR: Network error: Connection refused. My Windows can connect to my Mac, why not GM witht the same settings? I changed my Mac name to remove the space, I activated the SMB file sharing for that user, I used the IP address, I tried using the name of the computer shown in the Windows file sharing... I use Parallel for Mac to run GM Studio. I tried to connect to two different Mac. Same result.

What can I do? And why can't I just save my IPA file on my windows and move it to my mac after?

Thank you for your help in advance!

Thank you for the tip policejohn99.

I JUST FOUND THE SOLUTION and it was on my Mac settings !!!

I am using Mac OS X Lion, it may be the same solution for other OSX version. You have to go to Preferences - Sharing - then click the Checkbox "Remote Login" ("Session à distance" in French). Then is suddenly and mysteriously started to work.

Thnaks so much for this. This should be added to the wiki guide. I'm using Mountain Lion.
