What to do if your computer is "Unavailable" or "Offline"

If you log in to your GoToMyPC account and see that one of your computers is either "Unavailable" or "Offline", then there is a connection problem at the host computer that is preventing you from establishing a session. You will need to physically go to this computer to resolve this issue.

Why is my computer "unavailable" or "offline"?

List of computers in GoToMyPC, showing one of the computers as offline.

  • The host computer is powered off or in sleep mode.
  • The host computer is not connected to the Internet.
  • The GoToMyPC host software is not running.

Get your computer back online

You will need to physically be at your host PC or Mac and ensure that the following conditions are met:

  • The host computer is turned on (you do not need to be logged in, and for security reasons the computer should be locked).
  • The host computer is connected to the internet.
  • The GoToMyPC host PC software is running.

If you still experience issues, call us by selecting Contact Support.

GoToMyPC is able to turn off sleep mode on your Mac, but putting your host Mac to sleep manually through the Apple menu icon or closing the lid can cause GoToMyPC to go offline. If you see the GoToMyPC icon in the top menu bar but your computer is still offline, reboot your host Mac.
