Desktop sharing refuses to work.

I switched from iPhoto to Aperture 3 and found out that the Desktop sharing does not work. The Aperture library and project structure does show in the Desktop section of the System Prefs, but none of the actual files are there. I did repair Aperture permissions etc., and of course in the Aperture prefs I allow sharing with iLife. All my photos have previews (which I made to be same size as my screen). I am surprised by this lack of integration between Apple products. Any advice?

Hi,
I am running out of ideas and need more clues
How did you import from iPhoto? Is your library referenced or managed? Did you leave the master files inside iPhoto? Is your library located in a shared folder - that may cause problems.
Can other iLife applications see the Aperture images (Pages, iWeb) or does the problem occur with all applications?
Is it restricted to your main user account or does it work from other accounts? e.g. the Guest account?
Is it restricted to your main user library, or can you see the images in the Media Browser, if you create a small test library?
Cheers
Léonie
P.S. added: Did you install anything else lately, that might have modified the iLife frameworks?
I imported the 17,500 pics from iPhoto by moving everything into the Aperture library, after a clean install of Aperture 3 and update to 3.2.2. I then emptied the iPhoto library from within iPhoto. The Aperture library is inside the Pictures folder.
Re other iLife apps: I fired up Keynote and here's what happens --- it sees the Aperture library structure hierarchy, but only shows movies --- none of the stills. Importing a movie into Keynote works fine!
I don't have a guest account on my laptop.
As you suggested, I created a small new library (with 8 pics), then exited Aperture. When I went to System Prefs then, I could see it and use its images for desktop!! However, when I reopened Aperture and switched back to the big library, it was back to the old problem: I see all the projects and folders, but no pics.
I have not installed anything else after installing Aperture.
Thanks again for taking time to help me out!!

Slim "restart" after ctl_alt_bksp desktop exit refuses to work...

I've tried adding the following to /etc/inittab:
x:5:respawn:/usr/bin/slim >& /dev/null
as the wiki says, but SLiM will not restart after exiting the desktop via ctl/alt/bksp.
I get a blank screen with a mouse cursor, but nothing seems to actually be working in said screen... I made sure to remove SLiM from the daemon array before adding it to innttab... but it doesn't seem to work with inittab, unless the actual code needs to be updated now... I'd like to further troubleshoot this if no one has successfully gotten SLiM to work in this method. Just ask me for more info and I will gladly post whatever is needed. I'm not sure what other info would be needed at this point so i ask the community to question me so I can properly flesh this problem out and be done with it.

I am fairly familiar with SLiM... I helped one of the devs over at Unity Linux create a custom configuration for it and I've tweaked a few themes for it... I'll take it out of the daemon array again and check to see if it's running on my next reboot... This issue has only happened so far on Arch Linux... never experienced it on PCLinuxOS, Unity Linux of Mint... so I'm not sure what the issue is ATM... sincerely hoping to figure it out though... I wanna continue playing with Arch...

Lync Desktop sharing is not working via Remote Access Server / VPN

Sometimes, few users using RAS (Remote Access Server) / VPN are not able to share desktop.
It is irrespective of other user (from other end) is using VPN or Office wired network.
Note - we have enabled VPN split tunnelling for our environment and the issue is happening after that only.
Also, it is happening with few users not all.
laptop is : HP elitebook 2570p
any resolution ?

Hi,
Did these issued users also meet the issue internal the corporation?
1. Please double check if the split tunnel VPN setting configure correctly with the help of the link below:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2011/11/15/enabling-lync-media-to-bypass-a-vpn-tunnel.aspx
2. As the issue only happen for a few users who using VPN, please try to delete Lync user profile and then test again.
3. Please also try to change another computer with the issued Lync account using VPN to test the issue.
4. Please also try to test the issue with Internet network instead of VPN to test the issue again.

I have recently re-built my PC and downloaded Firefox again. I have appeared to have done this successfully, but the desktop icon refuses to work. I have tried opening firefox from everywhere on my pc. Do i need to turn on anything to get this to work?

Other info....My OS is windows Vista. I can give you full spec of PC, however not sure that will help here. The desk top icon that appears after downloading Firefox 5 appears to be dead when i double click it. I do not get an egg timer or anything. I have tried to access this through programme files but it does the same.

Thanks. I have followed all the instructions as recommended and nothing has worked so it looks like the restore/update may have been interrupted - would loss of internet connection do this?
Yes it would, possibly even brick it.
Have successfully connected my ipod nano with iTunes so looks like the device driver is working.
Can I use my ipod nano USB connector to check?
It is not much help to you, since the device that you need still not recognized.
Anyway looks like I may have to swallow the loss of data. Have set-up a call for tomorrow with Apple support so will wait until after this before doing the factory restore!
Good luck, but if you expect miracle from that call good luck again.

Lync 2013 Desktop SHaring Not working from Internet

Hi,
I am facing one issue, my Desktop Sharing is not working for Internet Clients, error message comes is "we could not connect to the presentation because of network issues" Internally it is working fine even I from Edge Server.
I am using single Public IP Configuration on Edge Server with Port 5061,444,443,3478.
Any suggestions, on I can check are welcome.
Best Regards, Ranjit Singh

Hello Ranjit,
Application Sharing/Desktop Sharing happens through SRTP through the A/V edge Server hence checking the Port Range is very important
Following Port reachability to be checked first
Public --> Edge server:
TCP/443
UDP/3478
TCP/50,000-59,999 (Outbound only)
From the Front End pool to the internal Edge:
TCP/5062
TCP/443
UDP/3478
From the internal Edge to the Front End Pool:
TCP/5065
TCP/49152-65335 (Inbound/Outbound)

Desktop Sharing only sharing a small region of the desktop

On one users computer desktop sharing refuses to share a whole screen, instead it shares a region outlined by a rectangle..
Anyone know what is going on? We have tried to change resolution etc but nothing seems to work..

This issue due to availability of hardware resource to the operating system or Application
Please check is we have the minimum system requirements for Lync http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg412781(v=ocs.14).aspx meet from the client end

Things which can break Lync desktop sharing

Proxy URL filter
For one of my customers, Lync desktop sharing suddenly stopped working only from a particular network. All required ports were opened, telnet , tracert all fine, also sometimes we saw it working , so it was intermittent. you can guess what security
and network team will say J.
Then captured traffic in netmon and it shows that there is reset for 443 traffic and uccplog shows error which points to 443 inspection device on the network , so shared it with network and security team, you wouldn’t guess their response this time
J they asked me to identify the device which is resetting 443 session. Now I only had to solve this issue, I knew even PSS engineer can only tell us that there is reset.
I started off with question How it works some times?” , answer to this is that whenever it worked someone from Local IT team has logged in to that computer, also when logged in as normal users netstat shows time wait for 443 and sometimes sharing invitation
expires. This gave me a clue, so I asked for a new laptop which is not a member of any domain and started drilling down. ..Finally found that URL filtering rule has been applied to users in that subnet and corp application FQDNs are not bypassed. It
was URL filtering application which was stopping this traffic.
I told security team that proxy is causing this issue GUESS WHAT they asked me why they were not informed about Lync FQDN earlier

WAN optimizer.
It was another lovely day in office talking all important topics like work life balance, movies , next best weekend place etc… suddenly tickets started flowing for desktop sharing issue. Immediately P1 case was opened and all of us specialist joined P1 bridge
just to say WE DID NOT DO ANY CHANGES! Now someone is surely jealous of someone being happy or someone has not followed the change process. Who it is? And what it is has to be investigated, of course by Lync team.
Again netmon says 443 rest and error message says 443 inspection.. Being a Microsoft application expert you are not done yet without finding out which device is doing it, isn’t it? . So started isolating the issue. Noticed that issue is happening
only from specific region only. So asked everyone on call what is so special about this region…there was a dead silence and there was a smart answer YOU TELL US! Well this went on for a while till someone from network team asked with low tone
will wan optimizer has any impact on Lync traffic??
J
It was WAN optimizer which was causing this issue.

Control Lync desktop sharing between different subnets

Hi all..I want to control desktop sharing between differnet network.You consider this as we have multiple process.So desktop sharing should not work between other federated partners.
I have federation with xxxx.com for one xxxsubnet
another federation with yyyy.com for different yyysubnet
if i allow ports for desktop sharing with federated partner from both the network between theses partners all users can do desktop share.
But i neeed a solution like xxx subnet can share desktop only with xxx.com and yyy can share desktop with yyyy.com

Hi,
The feature is not available at present. But you can try to use lync Server SDK to customize this feature.

Desktop Sharing using CUCM 8.5

I beleive that desktop sharing using Jabber with bfcp is only available using CUCM 8.62a and install the bfcp cop file. Desktop sharing will not work with CUCM 8.5. Correct?
Thanks

Hi,
Yes, this is correct.

External clients desktop sharing fails

After reading through various articles and forum posts I am desperate enough to contribute my first post...
The Problem:
We have successfully implemented a Lync 2010 infrastructure.
Internal to Internal works perfect
Internal to external (or vice versa) works perfect except for desktop sharing (Audio /Video works perfect)
(with external being an internal user in an external network)
I tried to narrow down the problem and found the following issues:
23; reason="Call failed to establish due to a media connectivity failure when one endpoint is internal and the other is remote";CallerMediaDebug="application-sharing:ICEWarn=0x800029,LocalSite=192.168.18.105:5388,LocalMR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3478(public
IP Adress from AV.xxx.de) ,RemoteSite=192.168.10.73:5378,RemoteMR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:56119
(public IP Adress from AV.xxx.de)
,PortRange=5350:5389,RemoteMRTCPPort=56119,LocalLocation=1,RemoteLocation=2,FederationType=0"
So basically a client connects from behind a NAT device to the external IP of the edge av interface and the internal client tries to connect to the same external ip?
Is that meant to be that way?
Second issue (or same issue but different perspective) same scenario(but network Sniffer on the firewall):
request reaches FW:
50.436292 port2 in Guest IP:35962 -> external AV Edge IP:59676: syn 2844552579
request routed through FW to the internal DMZ IP:
50.436857 Lync-extern out Guest IP:35962 -> 172.16.13.204:59676: syn 2844552579
session gets resetted:
50.437046 Lync-extern in 172.16.13.204:59676 -> Guest IP:35962: rst 0 ack 2844552580
This repeats very often till both clients get a notice about "Network issuses.
On the Edge Server I did an netstat -oa and found Port 59676 to be listening (TCP)
I read so much in the last days that I am totally confused by now and I think the documentation on tech net is faulty somehow.
(at least regarding port 50.000 ->59.999)
Maybe the issue is DNS related (we got split DNS in place)?
Any thoughts helping me out would be appreciated!
Thanks Gunni
Who needs a signature?

Hello Gunni,
please can you tell what is the vendor, model and firmware of your firewall? Are there any kind of "deep inspection" features enabled in the configuration of the firewall.
I am asking, as we have seen similar issues with an RST that seemed to come from the Lync Edge Server, but in fact the connection reset was done by the firewall. In the mentioned case the firewall is a Juniper, model SSG-5.
Two flow related settings activated in the configuration caused the issue, leading exactly to the ms-client-diagnostic: reason="Call failed to establish due to a media connectivity failure when one endpoint is internal and the other is remote"
“flow tcp-seq-check” - (TCP Sequence Check)
“flow tcp-syn-check” - (TCP SYNCRO Check)
Please check if your firewall has some similar or identical settings activated!
A lot of time, we investigated the Edge Server for any issues, - we even replaced it with a new one built from the scratch. Nothing helped, till we start looking closer at the firewall and disabled the settings mentioned above. I remember that we thought
the RST comes from the Lync Edge on the first look in NetworkMonitor and Wireshark. But when we started watching the Juniper reports, and comparing the time-stamps we realized that the connection was closed first by the firewall, not the Lync Server.
If your firewall offers a reporting feature (via webinterface, or SNMP, etc.) I recommend you to take a close look to check if the connection is closed here first.
Thanks and greetings from Berlin,

External desktop sharing over 443 only

We have deployed Lync 2010 for external user access and IM works just fine, but can't seem to get desktop sharing/AV to work over 443 only. We are a DoD Organization so while we might be able to get 3478 opened outbound, most other organizations wouldn't
have that allowed in or out. So the only way this is going to work for us if it can all work over 443. While reading http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg425891%28v=ocs.14%29.aspx under "External Ports Settings Required for Single Consolidated
Edge Topology" A/V 443 it mentions "This port range and rule is also used if the external user cannot use the UDP 3478 rule due to restrictions or other conditions at the source (client)." makes it sound like at least AV should failover to 443
if it can't get 3478 to work, but our testing shows it isn't doing that and just fails to work. Is there something we need to do to force it to work over 443?

No, you can't do that. for sharing Desktop and application, you need high respond which require UDP ports. any media or AV using UDP port. and port 3478 is
STUN (Session Traversal Utilities for NAT) is a standardized set of methods and a network protocol to allow an end host to discover its public IP address if it is located behind a NAT. It is used to permit NAT traversal for
applications of real-time voice, video, messaging, and other interactive IP communications.
So that you need to open port 3478 UDP if you want to Sharing work.

How Lync desktop sharing works for internal users

Hi,
How Lync desktop sharing, Aplication sharing & A/v conferencing works Internally ?
is it uses Webconfrencing Edge server & A/V Conf Edge server for internal users also...
I have confusion on this please help me and guide me how to deploy internally.
does it works with edge server internally if yes how ?
Thanks !!!

No internal to internal conferencing, A\V and desktop share does not use the Edge Server. This is all handled by the Front End Server\s.

Jabber 9.2.5 desktop sharing intermittently working

Hello All,
I'm experiencing strange problems with jabber desktop sharing feature.
I'm using CUCM 9.1 and IMP 9.1 with J4W 9.2.5 in softphone mode.
I configured the sip profile for jabber devices with: "Allow Presentation Sharing using BFCP"
Sometimes users can initiate a desktop sharing session sometimes they can't.
Can you please advise on this? Is it fully supported or I should use webex?
thanks

"remote desktop connection has stopped working" When printing from remote desktop connection

I have been having a issue when using a windows 7 machine. I have Remote Desktop to a session on Windows2008 R2, I am using the local printer resources to redirect the printing. However everytime i try to print it crashes the remote desktop application.
Gives me "remote desktop connection has stopped working." I have 4 other computers connected and printing with no issues what so ever. This only happens when i print. It does print by the way just the application crashes.
-I have also updated the printer drivers to newest possible thru the manufactorer website. The printer is a Brother MFC-8890DW. Windows 2008 R2 is up to date for the RDS server. 3 other machines are able to Remote in and print. The user is able to print using
diffrent machines just not the Windows 7 machine.

Hi,
Happy to hear that you resolved your issue. For another issue which you are facing here trying to provide some suggestion.
As you have commented that you are facing issue with second screen resolution on wide screen. The setting which I am suggesting can only applies when you are using multi-monitor Remote Desktop connections. If you are making Connections using a single
monitor do not use this setting.
So for this you can try to apply “Limit maximum display resolution” setting in group policy, where you can mention the width & height for the screen to display. The setting can be applied on below mentioned
path.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment
Meanwhile sharing article with you for more information.

Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update

Internet sharing no longer works after Lion 10.7.4 update. Hopefully Apple will fix this shortly. Little excuse for this kind of screw-up.

so here is da answer
1. go to finder>(computer name)>macintosh HD>library>preferences
2. copy the entire systemconfiguration folder and systemconfiguration.old folder to your desktop
3. restart mac and device which you share intenet to
then you have internet that is about 3x slower than the da 10.7.3 intenet sharing, but works
then, just wait for apple to release da 10.7.4 fixed
please use da steps!

Desktop sharing refuses to work.
