Can't screen or file share since Yosemite upgrade

I upgraded my 27" iMac and my Macbook Pro Retina Display to Yosemite yesterday. Today I neither screen sharing nor file sharing will work. I have tried everything I know to connect the two computers, and nothing works for me.
No devices show up in my sidebar. Before the Yosemite upgrade both Macs were there, as well as a PC that my wife uses. Now there are no shared devices showing at all.

I just tried to delete this. Seems my problem was that for some reason my Macbook was connected to a free wifi hotspot instead of my home network. Everything works now. I feel so stoo-pid.

  • How can i fix Connection issues with back to my mac since yosemite upgrade.

    Ok I have been having nothing but problems with back to my mac since the upgrade. both machines are using yosemite and I have even reinstalled yosemite on both still having connection issues. anyone else know how I can fix this? I get one of 2 error messages one that says there is a problem connecting and i should make sure screen sharing is active and then another that says the server does not exist. So far to get it working it involves restarting back to my mac or both macs. This is not a good fix since once I disconnect and try to reconnect a few hours later it does it all over again. I am currently in France and needless to say my parents are starting to get really annoyed with constantly having to do things on there end so I can remote into my iMac.Before the yosemite upgrade I maybe had to do this once or twice.

    What I have done is open Disk Utility, Repair Permissions, and do that more than once if it returns a lot of errors in the permissions.  Then Restart the Mac.
    Also, go to System Preferences > Spotlight and try turning off a couple settings such as search suggestions...these things are taking a lot of resources now.

  • Can't view messages on website after Yosemite upgrade

    A friend built me a website some time ago and people can leave me messages.  After the Yosemite upgrade, I can still see a new message has come in but when I click the "view" button, nothing happens.  I can't open the message to read it.  I wondered if it was just my mac so I tried to view them on hubby's macbook.  Same thing.  We do both have adblock on our macs.
    I dug out our old, Sony laptop and fired it up....running XP.  I logged into the website and clicked the view button on the messages.....they opened right up.  Does anyone have an idea what settings I need to change in Yosemite to be able to view my website messages?  Thanks

    Once connected to the PC.. you will have to Sync the messages to see them on PC..
    Open OVI Suite..Goto Sync-->Sync Now-->Messages...when the process is over, you will be able to see them in the OVI Suite.. Just syncing the messages may not show you senders' / receivers' name but only the numbers... so sync the contacts too...

  • Hi, I am having trouble MacBook Air crashing since Yosemite upgrade. I ran an Etresoft check but I don't know what it means... my system runs slowly and crashes. I have to force shutdown. Sometimes screen is black for a split second b/w webmail pages

    Hello,
    I am having trouble with my MacBook Air 13 inch June 2012 MacBook Air5, 2 4GB RAM  details below in Etresoft report. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and am having system trouble. My computer crashes and I have to force quit to restart. When using webmail there is a black screen for a split second between pages. This did not happen before. I am worried that it is not running properly and perhaps I need to revert to the previous operating system. I only have a MacBook Air and no need to share images between a tablet or phone so I did not need the new photo sharing software of Yosemite. I wonder if I don't have enough RAM to run it? I did not run time machine before I made the upgrade as I did not realise the significance of an upgrade as not very Mac literate. Any advice on whether my system is in danger... most appreciated! I am writing a book and making a back up but this machine is my lifeline and my work is conducted through it. It ran perfectly before... the Yosemite upgrade has perhaps highlighted some problems and it has unnerved me!
    Thanks ever so much for your advice!
    Lillibet

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • Cannot connect to file share since upgrading to Lion

    Since i updated my desktop Mac Pro from the snow cat to Lion, i can no longer connect remotely to file shares (from two different MacBook, both also running Lion). The Mac Pro shows up in Finder ok and automatically, but when i try to connect, via Connect As and specifying the proper login, it fails with a vague error. The same if i try connection via Apple ID. If i try to connect via Cmd+K and entering afp://MyMacPro.local, i get asked for a password, then shown the proper list of available shares (i don't get that far when connecting via the Finder's sidebar!), but after selecting one, it still fails, with the same vague ("there was a problem connecting") error.
    if i try to connect from terminal with mount_afp, i get an error -1069:
    MyMacBook:~ mh$ mount_afp afp://MyUser:[email protected]/MyShare /Volumes/test
    mount_afp: AFPMountURL returned error -1069, errno is -1069
    i have of course tripple-checked that file sharing is still enabled on my Mac Pro, and that the firewall is disabled. i *can* connect in the oposite direction, frommy Mac Pro to the laptops.
    Any ideas or suggestions?
    thanx,
    marc

    I have the same issue. I can't find anything on here that works to fix it. Worked just fine this morning before I had to install the upgrade. Grr. Any other ideas?

  • Cannot  connect to file shares on Yosemite server v4.0

    I have a fairly new installation of a Mac Mini Server.  As a Linux specialist I find some of the things frustrating but the rest of the office has a much easier life as things just work. Except for file sharing. If I use finder, use the shared section of the to display the network, find my server and double click to open up file share options, it refuses and says it cannot connect. I then use Finder>Go>Connect to Server and enter the SMB Server name as smb://[SERVER_NAME]/ and it immediately connects and I can connect to all drives successfully.
    When I check the system.log after after the unsuccessful connect attemt using Finder, The following is in the log:

    If I connect using Finder>Go> Connect to Sever I get the same error but the difference is the file shares are visible in the "Select the volumes you want to mount box" and I can mount the shares with no additional errors successfully. Please excuse me I am not very graphically savvy with OS-X (or OS-X for that mater). (Happy with Solaris, OpenBSD or Linux) I am a command line junkie (deep linux dude). Struggling to find my way around some of the things Apple DO. I am not sure I like people taking some of my toys and levers away.
    Any clue how to solve this issue?

    I am using fully qualified domain names for all servers on my network.  I have multiple domains untold virtual machines etc and services everywhere as it is a dev environment.  I use smb://brtsrv00.identitylabs.uk/ and it works without fault. Still no authentication from the Finder discovery.  Sorry I am a bit knew to to OS-X even though I have used different MacBook's for over 7 years.  DO a lot of VMware Fusion server development so don't touch OS-X much.  By the way, the name is provided by DNS and both the forward reverse lookup is correct. (dig brtsrv00.identitylabs.uk and dig -x 10.0.1.3)

  • Mavericks CPU can't open pdf files created on Yosemite

    I've looked around for this issue, but I haven't seen any questions similar to mine.
    My wife and I have identical MacBook Pros. Hers is running Mavericks, while I've updated mine to Yosemite.
    By chance, we realized that if I email her files created on my laptop, she can't open them. I've sent her Pages files, and the same files converted to PDF. So, either on Preview or Pages, she cannot open those files I've sent her.
    I know that the easy answer is "update your wife's laptop to Yosemite," but I'm rather curious whether there's a bug in the system that hasn't been discovered. Besides, my wife is quite happy with Mavericks, and that's fine by me.
    Any help or suggestion in this regard will be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    BK

    I just tested opening a Pages v5.5.1 file on Yosemite and Exporting it to a PDF file. Then I copied the PDF and Pages files over to another Mac running Mavericks and I was able to open and view the PDF file. I can't open the actual Pages file in Mavericks created in Yosemite because the Pages app is a different version in Mavericks (v5.2.2) and not compatible with the Yosemite version. But, PDFs definitely work fine and I can also open/view the same PDF file on a Mac running Mountain Lion. So, Preview in Mavericks and Mountain Lion, for me, open and view PDF files created from Yosemite/Pages without issue.
    Have you tried opening your PDF file on another Mac running Mavericks?
    You might try reinstalling Mavericks on top of itself. Maybe Preview in Mavericks is somehow corrupt. On the Mavericks Mac, you can redownload/reinstall Mavericks from the App Store using the same Apple ID that originally downloaded it. Or restart the Mavericks Mac into the Recovery HD (Command+R) and Reinstall OS X from there. Back up before you do the reinstall. The reinstall won't harm any data or apps. It just installs the OS over itself.

  • How can I stop the ripple across the screen when scrolling down since I upgraded my Mac to Firefox 4 ?

    Since I upgraded to Firefox 4 I am getting a horizontal ripple across the data when scrolling down, which is very disruptive and uncomfortable. How can this be corrected. I am using an IMac with Mac OS X 10.6.7 ?

    Same problem on Imac with updated software. Had problem in earlier versions and changed key : <key>CGDisableCoalescedUpdates</key>
    <true/> to false and that resolved the problem. It helps somewhat with Firefox 4, but not enough. Is this just a Mac problem or are PCs having the same problem? This may be enough for me to switch browsers or go back to 3.6.

  • Photo Screen Saver not functioning with Yosemite Upgrade

    Recently I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Yosemite. I have always used a folder in iPhoto for my screen saver via system preferences. Ever since the upgrade this folder will no longer function as the screen saver.  The screen saver option in System Preferences always defaults to Apples National Geographic photos that is installed with Yosemite. After I select the folder I want I "preview" the screen saver and my photos are there. Once the screen saver kicks itself in, the NG photos are there and the system settings are back to NG photos and not my photos. Now, I will admit the NG photos are far above my photos, but I really prefer my photos. Is Apple evaluating photo quality on the screen savers? Kidding - any ideas?

    I have the same issue.
    Try this. I think this has worked for me. Only time will tell.
    This solved my question by dominic23 on Oct 22, 2014 4:33 PM
    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
    Look for these two files.
    com.apple.desktop.plist
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Right click each  one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.
    Restart the computer.

  • Since Yosemite upgrade, high pitch noise creating case vibration on MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009) (on watching the keynote online)

    Hi,
    Great work on Yosemite, great new design as well.
    Several problems since the Yosemite upgrade though :
        - When playing high pitch noise (watching the keynote for example), the speakers make the case around it vibrate. This was not happening under Mavericks and previous OSXs.
        - This page (post editing) does not allow the right click (works everywhere else as far as I'm aware).
        - when changing the volume, I have now the noise feedback when clicking on shift+volume up/down and no sound when clicking on volume up/down on my keyboard (was the inverse before).
        - The keyboard light was stuck in off, had to restart the computer.
    More general problems (covering the last OSX since introduction of 10.9) :
        - lack of possibility of choosing for a 3x3 set of desktops as it was before (the new mission control only allow us to have a horizontal set of several desktops)
        - Notifications cannot be turned off automatically when being in full screen. (only options for auto turn off given are "display is sleeping" oO and when "mirroring on another display" -> meh, would have prefer when having an app in full screen)
    System :
    MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2009)
    Model Identifier: MacBookPro5,3
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
    Memory: 8 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MBP53.00AC.B03
    SMC Version (system): 1.48f2

    Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.

  • Since Yosemite upgrade I have lost all my previous gmail email. All settings seem to be as was so am at a loss, anyone any ideas. Thanks.

    I installed Yosemite a few days ago and just found that all my previous emails on gmail are gone. Have no idea why and looking at all my settings all is as was. My other accounts are good.
    Anyone any ideas.
    Thank you to those who respond.

    Further to the above I did delete all the content of the "Archive File" in mail after the Yosemite upgrade due to a lot of rubbish being in there that should not have been so decided to begin anew. I now wonder whether all my past gmail items were in there as well. If so how can I retrieve it via Time Machine.

  • Keyboard shortcuts are gone since Yosemite upgrade

    I use a large number of keyboard shortcuts (the ones accessed in System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Text).
    Since the upgrade to Yosemite, the personal ones I've created (and which are still visible in the menu) do not work any longer.
    The default ones from Apple, however, still function properly.
    What do I have to do to get these working again?
    I've tried obvious things like re-creating the personal ones. No go.
    Thanks for any help on this.

    You can add the ½ ¼ to your own shortcuts and then use them like before:
    To enter the shortcut use the character viewer:
    ¼ etc. are in the Basic Latin section of the unicode table:

  • Mid 2009 macbook slow since yosemite upgrade

    I am getting a little tired of the spinning beach ball, my formerly well performing macbook is so slow since I upgraded it.
    I have 4Gb ram, activity monitor suggests I am not low on that.
    It is particularly slow when I start up anything new; when an email comes in the whole thing grinds to a halt.
    3rd party programs like Chrome seem to be sucking the life out of it, I have checked it is up to date and it is.
    Is this a common experience and what have others done to speed things up?
    System spec: Yosemite version 10.10, processor 2.13 Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4Gb SDRAM
    15Gb disk space free.
    I have repaired disk permissions.
    Maura

    The large number of problems with System items looks suspicious: I'd strongly suggest a reinstall of Yosemite. (Make sure that you have a backup of all your files; e.g. a Time Machine backup.)
