Screen sharing drive access problem

I have a Mac Mini I'm using as a media server. This mini has 2 hard drives and Mavericks installed in it. When I access the mini via screen sharing from my MacBook Air, if an no longer access the 2nd hard drive. It appears, and I can open the hard drive, but I can't access the folders on the hard drive. I can't access anything on that drive using applications, either.
This wasn't a problem using Mountain Lion. Any tips on how to fix this? All of my permissions are still set up correctly as they were before.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hey Guys,
I'm having this EXACT same problem, using this exact model of Belkin Wireless G Router: F5D7234-4 v4
We're both running the most current version of OS X, and when the user who is on the Belkin router plugs her MBP directly into her Comcast cable modem, everything works perfectly.
So given that the issue lies within the Belkin, I have remotely logged into the router and tried every possible combination of enabling and disabling:
- UPnP
- WMM
- Firewall
- QoS Monitoring
After doing this, we're still only getting audio whenever we try to screen share. As with the original post, we will start the screen sharing process, the window will say "starting screen sharing with....", but then we will only have audio.
Is my only other option to go through, set a static IP for this user, and setup all of the port forwarding per this article?

Thanks in advance for anyone's help!!

Screen sharing Lion- Lion problem

I am trying to set up screen sharing in my local network.
I am using a MacBook with latest Lion as server to which I am trying to connect.
I am connecting with a Powerbook 12" 10.5.8 without problems and controlling the MacBook via Screen Sharing.
I am unable to connect to the MacBook using a MacBook Pro with same Lion installed.
Before that I used the same setup to try out RealVNC. Again, the Powerbook connected to the MacBook without problems, but the MacBook Pro is unable to connect.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

This thought just occurred to me. Do you have the Macbook Pro Firewall enabled? System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Firewall. Is it enabled? If it is, try disabling it.
Time to ask a question about your network setup. Wild Goose Chase questions.
You mentioned an Airport Extreme. Is that the ONLY router in the house? The reason I ask, is that if you have multiple WiFi routers (for example because your house is so large, you need more than one WiFi router to cover the entire house, or your house has has 4 floors you need to cover and the structure interferes betwen the basement to the converted attic), you could have multiple subnets which could affect the ability to connect to devices on the other subnet. If you do have multiple subnets, there are ways to address this.
I would like you to download and run "Bonjour Browser"
<http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/13388/bonjour-browser>
Run Bonjour Browser on the Macbook Pro (and any other Macs you like). I want you to look for "Remote Frame Buffer" entries (VNC Servers - aka Screen Sharing servers). Click the triangle to show all the systems offering VNC server.
Assuming you see your Macbook listed, click on its triangle to show the IP address and port number. It should be something like 10.0.1.nn:5900. Hopefully you see the same IP address as you think your Macbook has assigned to it (which you can see via Macbook -> System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> TCP/IP.
If you are not seeing your Macbook via Bonjour Browser from your Macbook Pro, then there is something affecting your ablity to see the Macbook.

Shared drive access to SAP system

Hi All,
I have a requirement to map a windows shared drive to SAP system. I have a windows server shared drive path which need to be accessible from SAP. The sap server and the windows server are in a same network. Is there any way to map the drives from SAP.

Yes,
Here are the steps.
First, share your windows directory. (I recommend making it wide open to ge this working and then start limiting the security from there.)
Log in to SAP and go to t-code FILE.
On the left-hand side, click on logical file path and click new entries. You may have to change from display to change mode.
Enter your desired name for your logical destination and save.
Now select your new line and double click on the "ASSIGNMENT OF PHYSICAL PATHS TO LOGICAL PATH." folder under the LOGICAL FILE PATH DEFINITION folder.
click the New Entries button.
In syntax group, select Windows NT.
Then put in the physical path.

Remote shared drive access without Back to My Mac

I recently bought an external high-capacity LaCie drive to store all my media content, photos, etc. It is shared over our Airport Extreme wireless network to my MBP.
I would like to be able to access the drive from my MBP when I am away from home -- whether traveling on business, or working out of another location; in either event, working from somewhere that is NOT on my home's local/wireless network. I know the Airport Extreme can allow the drive to be accessed remotely via a MobileMe account (which I have) and a couple Macs properly configured to use the "Back to My Mac" service. However, if I understand that service correctly, it is designed only for situations in which there are two macs, and one needs to access the other. In my scenario, there's only one Mac -- my MBP which would be with me at whatever remote location. The external drive I want to be able to access, would just be sitting on my home office desk connected to the Airport, as always. Is there any way I can connect directly to that drive while I'm out and about somewhere?
Thanks!
Dan

Well I think it's certainly possible - if you check out the Disks/File sharing tab in the Airport Utility you can enable sharing over the internet via Bonjour.
That's the easy part - the difficult part is how to maintain security yet gain access. You'll need to allow access back via you router, so there will be faffing about with NAT, and of course it will depend on whether you have an external static or dynamic IP address - both can be accommodated but with different actions.
I don't know enough about your network to comment further.

Shared drive access speed: AEBS vs Mac Mini

Quick question - suppose I share the same external HDD from either a) connected directly to an Airport extreme (previous gen n model) via USB or b) from another networked computer (spicifically a Mac Mini - 2.0 dual core, 2GB RAM, hardwired to AEBS) using USB or FireWire. Will one configuration or the other give faster access speeds from other networked computers?

Screen Sharing Problem after Lion Install

Greetings,
After installing Lion on my MacBookPro 17", I am now unable to use screen sharing to access my Mac Mini Server running 10.6.8 server. When I attempt to make the connection, the Screen Sharing application starts, but I never see a desktop of the Mac Mini. In the system.log, I see entries that include:
Screen Sharing[2062]: MVS Codec - bad rectangle size - closing connection
I've tried rebooting both machines and it doesn't make any difference.
I've only been able to find one mention of a similar message from someone trying to use desktop sharing in iChat, but it didn't include a fix.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

Apple appears to have solved the problem for me. :-)
My scenario was a MacBook Pro running Lion attempting to screen share the screen of a Mac Mini Server (My HTPC) running 10.6.8. Apple pushed some updates to the Mac Mini on 10.6.8, including:
Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.1
Safari 5.1
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Supplemental Update 1.0
iTunes 10.4
After these updates, I can once again screen share with the Mac Mini. So, my guess would be something in more likely the Remote Desktop Update or less likely in the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Supplemental Update solved the problem.
Check your Software Update on the machines that you're trying to connect to and see if that solves your problems too.
Thank you Apple!

Screen sharing problems

Hi,
I have a strange problem when I try to connect to another Mac in my home network via screen sharing. Here's what happens in case somebody can help me.
I'm trying to do this via Finder. I go to 'Shared' on the left column of finder and place my cursor on the name of the other computer in the network and I click on the 'Share Screen' button. When I do that, a little screen pops up saying "contacting 'other computer'"
And after a while, the following error message appears:
"Connection failed to 'other computer'"
Please make sure that Screen Sharing (in the Sharing section of System Preferences) is enabled on the computer to which you are attempting to connect. Also make sure your network connection is working properly."
However, Screen Sharing IS enabled in System Preferences (on both computers). I disabled the firewalls on both computers as well in case that was the cause of the problem.
I have been wracking my brain trying to troubleshoot this and I've found some strange things that might be connected to the problem.
I think I must have messed up something changing the name of the other computer. This is a computer that I have in another room of the house (from now on 'Computer 2', 'Computer 1' being my computer, the one I'm trying to connect from). In this computer I have various accounts for my children, for myself and for guests. The thing is that before the computer used to have another name (I don't remember the exact name) and then I changed it to Marta.
Since I did that, when I look at the public folders in Computer 2, things are a bit amiss.
The first thing I notice is that now the public folder looks different from the other folders:
http://img146.imageshack.us/i/computer1mountfinder.png/
View of the folder on the desktop:
http://img717.imageshack.us/i/computer1mountdesktop.png/
i.e it doesn't have the three little guys that mounted folders usually have.
The second thing I notice is that now I can drag files to that public folder but I can only see the files that I have put in there at the moment. If I turn off the computer and turn it on again, I cannot see those files any more. Nevertheless, the files are there. I can see them when I go physically to computer 2 and I look at the contents of the public folder.
Furthermore, I noticed that if I click on 'connect as' and I introduce the login name and password for my daughter's account, then I get to see another folder called 'mfm' (her user's name) which I don't see before doing 'connect as':
http://img163.imageshack.us/i/mfm.png/
Now, what you have to understand is that 'mfm' and 'Marta' are the same. That is, 'Marta' is my daughter and the name that I gave the computer. 'Marta's public folder' and 'mfm' are in fact also the SAME folder. If I do 'connect as' and enter mfm plus password, I can see all the files that I dragged to 'Marta's public' folder.
So my hypothesis is that I have done something (probably when I changed the name of the computer to Marta) that has screwed up the network settings and now the computer is not recognized when I try to do 'Screen sharing'.
If I try to do screen sharing from Computer 2 to Computer 1, things work smoothly. I get a pop up window with two options:
. Enter your name and password to share the screen of Josep M. Fontana's iMac (my computer)
- by asking for permission
- as a registered user
Then I give my user name and password and I can do screen sharing with no problems.
As I said, when I try to do this from computer 1 to computer 2, I am not offered any options: a little screen pops up saying 'contacting "Marta"' and it stays there until I get the error message.
I've wasted a lot of time trying to figure out what the problem is. I would REALLY appreciate any help anyone can give me to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Josep M.

Please, don't tell me my problem can be solved Perhaps I was spoiled with these forums since all my other calls for help were answered very promptly and with lots of good advice. Is this really such a hairy problem to solve? Was my description not clear? Please, if I can provide any more information or describe again something you don't understand, I will do it gladly but I need urgently to be able to do screen sharing with this other computer. I just added a new Mac to my network (a MacBook air) and I connect to and from it via screen sharing without any problems. So there is something screwed up in the configuration of this particular iMac which doesn't allow me to connect to it.
Please, please, please. I implore the Mac experts that hang out in these forums to lend me a hand.

Lion screen sharing over Internet

I'm having some issues setting up screen sharing. The problem is that I set it all up and can see the other computer when we are on the same network. But I cannot see the device when I'm back home and trying to screen share over the internet.
I need to be able to see the screen of my client's Mac while I am at home.
Here is what I've done to set up screen sharing:
Both Macs are running Lion 10.7.3
I have set myself up in the address book of the Mac I want to access.In my address book card I have multiple emails. One of them is the email that I use as my Apple ID.
I turned on screen sharing on the remote computer and added myself to the list of people able to screen share by selecting my address book card that includes my Apple ID.
Access is for all users
I have checked "Anyone can request permission to control screen."
On my computer I have ensured that my Apple ID is included in the Users and Groups control panel.
When I am on their network, in their home, I see their computer in the shared devices section of my Finder window.
I am able to request permission to screen share and am able to gain permission when they accept.
But when I get home, their computer does not show up in my Finder window under shared devices.
What critical step am I missing?
Thanks!

Yes, I didn't say Back to My Mac doesn't let you share the screen over the internet - it does. But it requires you to know the password of the iCloud account that is signed in on the client's computer, as I've said. Your client would be nuts to give you that password, as would you be to sign in your iCloud account on his/her machine. That's not an option.
Here's what Apple says about using Back to My Mac:

Lion Server Screen Sharing for Adminstrator

I'm having difficulty using my Administrator account for remote screen sharing after the upgrade to Lion Server. All other remote access tools work (Server Admin, SSH, file sharing, etc.). I'm also using LogMeIn to get to the server and, if I make an adjustment to standard user account to allow for server administration that account can use screen sharing with no problems. Only my administrator account does not seem to work. Has anyone else seen this?

Hi John, perhaps I did not express myself clearly.
My desktop iMac is set up with multiple desktops (desktop 1 for system stuff, desktop 2 for mail, messages, skype etc, desktop 3 for Safari and desktop 4 for text proessing, VM-Ware and other work).
When I work on that machine I'm logged in as one user and use the three finger swipe left and right or the Cmd-1 thru Cmd-4 keys to switch between those desktops.
I haven't founf how to do that from my a remotely connected MacBook Pro.
Both of which are running Mountain Lion in the mean time. The iMac runs Mountain Lion Server and the MBP has ML Server installed as well, but nut implemented. Just to be able to use the remote screen...
Hope this makes my question a bit mre clear...

PLEASE HELP, SOMEONE REMOTELY VIEWING/SCREEN SHARING MY MACBOOK?

Hi - I urgently need help from anyone who knows about this issue - I am a very basic macbook user, and don't really know about all the different programmes etc. I believe someone ( the guy who sold me the macbook, who told me he was a mac repair person and programmer) has been hacking into the computer, using the remote access - there is a programmed called SCREEN SHARING but I cannot access it - and a bunch of other files such as odsagent etc - not sure if these indicate he is using the screen sharing/ remote access to my mac.
The reason that I believe he is accessing the mac, is that he downloaded all the files, so would clearly have access to passwords etc, there were loads of his old files, that showed pictures of people saying " target", and old files showing he was studying comuter/ mac programming. The first time I went online all of a sudden the computer froze, and two green lights showed on the num lock key and the shift key I think, the two keys were frozen, and the keyboard basically wouldnt respond, but the activity continued on the screen. This has happened a number of times since then, usually just randomly the keyboard freezes, and if you wait a while it goes back to normal - the mouse works fine, then one day it keep sort of freezing/ getting stuck/ pausing for no reason - the next day its fine again. He put in a load of software, which he has obviously been able to get round the need of liscening numbers, as he did not provide me with them. one day I saw a name "macbook pro" suddenly appear, and that it was tryin to connect/ share or something - this has never happened to me before with my old mac- it was like another computer was connecting/ sharing with my computer without my permission - this was when I was online. This has not happened since.
I am scared he is accessing the computer, because these things that happened, and because there is loads and loads of files and programmes, which sound suspicious, i dont know what they do, and I just have this dogey feeling about this guy, and the fact that there is screen viewing/ remote management files etc which I cant access, but I am not sure if they are being accessed.
PLEASE HELP - I FEEL LIKE MY PRIVACY IS BEING INVADED - I was speaking to my family on Skype and the green lights came on/ it froze, I continued with the conversation, but later I felt like he might have been watching.
If anyone can recommend an expert in the London area, that can check the mac to see there is nothing on there that is being used to remotely control/ screen share my mac, I would be very grateful - its just horrible using your computer, and always being worried someone is invading your privacy, and and downloading your files etc.
Sorry if I sould paranoid, but I have a strong feeling something is not right here.
Many thanks for your help in advance.

Since you don't know much about computers, disconnect your internet (wireless or wired) to prevent future unwanted access. While it is smart to contact Apple Communities, this is a criminal matter and you should consider taking the matter to the police. People like this will not stop with you. You need to list the private data that may be stolen and take action (cancel credit cards, change passwords, bank accounts, phone numbers, whatever you have cause to be worried about). If you can afford it, buy a new hard drive, remove the old one, and install OS X from scratch. Give your old hard drive to the cops. Make sure you turn the Firewall on (click the Apple up on the toolbar top left > System Preferences > Security) and uncheck any "Sharing" options (System Prefernces > Sharing). This event you are experiencing is unfortunate, and rare, but with a pro-active attitude you will come through it fine - and wiser.
EDIT
dgambler is right in that by purchasing a Snow Leopard disk (presuming you don't already have one) and performing a fresh install (it is easy) is a sure way to "take back" the controls of your Mac. You will need to study online tutorials for "wiping the drive" rather than a simple install. But you should let the police look at the hard drive before you do that - they will be able to see exactly what this person did.

How can I set up a screen screen sharing VNC at a resolution higher than display?

I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro 13in, and i have set up screen sharing to access over VNC. I want to view my mac on my 1920x1080 display hooked up to my PC. But when i do it is not full screen, it is the same resolution as my MBP. how can i run it at a higher resolution only over VNC?

As Cvid suggests, I create my "frames" in Photoshop. Not sure about all versions, but my PS has several Actions, just for frames, and I have made a few more, with a different "look."
I Save_As PSD, and just Import those as Footage (I do not need the capability to work with the individual Layers).
Good luck,
Hunt

Screen Sharing and Authentication

During deployment, I used this command to bind my clients to the directory server:
yes | dsconfigldap [-fvxsgemSN] -a myservername -n “myservername” -c $computerid -u diradmin -p mydiradminpass -l localadmin -q localadmin's pass
after doing this, I can no longer use screen sharing to access the bound clients. Unable to authenticate.
Is this becuase of the
-s
enforce not using cleartext authentication via policy
flag?
Is there still a way for me to screen share into my clients w/o having to use logmein?
Will ARD do it?

From the menu bar on the Screen Sharing server, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Users & Groups ▹ Login Options
and check the box marked
Allow network users to log in at the login window
If there's a closed padlock icon in the lower left corner of the preference pane, you may need to click it to unlock the settings. Enter your login password when prompted.
Note that this option is only available when the server is bound to a network directory server.

same here on a 2010 macbook pro. i routinely use screen sharing to access that MBP from a 2010 mac pro. but ever since installing lion on the MBP (now 10.7.1), i'm asked for my "Kerberos password" -- and i've never even heard of such a thing.
so far, googling this has not led to anything helpful.
i love my macs, but stuff like this that impedes our productivity is a monumental drag (to say the least).
