G5 to MacBook Pro Can't Screen Share But Can MacBook Pro to G5 ?

Hi
I am using the Screen Sharing app built into Leopard and I can see the G5 screen from the MacBook Pro but not the other way round as it will just not connect whatever I try. I can file share no problem. I have checked the system preferences and they are identical as far as the Sharing and Security options are concerned. I have tried over ethernet and wireless but no luck. They are on the same local network and both running 10.5.2.
Anyone any idea or experienced the same problem?

Hey,
I have about the same thing going on. With my MBP, I can login and share HD, Screen, etc of the G5. Using my G5, I cannot login and share anything on the MBP. Get a connection timed out message, even though the MBP does show up in the sidebar. I tried to log on to the MBP with a G4, and that also wouldn't work. They are all on the same local network.

Updated, now cant vnc/screen share but can ssh

Brand new snow leopard server install. Did some light updating of settings (modified hostname enabled services) and the initial system update to 10.6.4. Restarted and now I CAN SSH to the machine but i CANNOT vnc/screen share to it... it just times out fails to connect and says to make sure that screen sharing is enabled.
Tried the suggestions in this doc but no luck
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370
Anyone experience the same? Any tips? Thanks in advance
Edit: I noticed other services are down like web as I had a default page loading before via ip in browser, not sure how to get back into VNC/Screen share to start up and check services
Tried ipfw set disable and ipfw list to see if 5900 was being blocked and it didnt work.

Roman,
I know this is probably a no brainer, have you repaired permissions since you updated to Server 10.6.4?
I have been fussing with a mac mini server for the last month, its is my 1st mac based server and set up is so simple its hard if you know what I mean. In any case my RAD was working and i have been using it over the last week rather then sitting in a cramped corner where the old makeshift server is still being used. After I updated to 6.4 i ran permissions and noticed a warning on my SUID for remote management, thought nothing of it since it was still working. started up VPN now remote is dead so your not alone on this. /kickstart did not work for me either. If you haven't run permissions check them see it it helps and see if you have this line as well.
"Warning: SUID file 'System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent' has been modified and will not be repaired."
I got this error immediatly after running repairs after the upgrade. also i have this same error on my laptop running 10.6.4 (non server ed.) so it looks like a bug on apples end

Correct Password Using Screen Share But Incorrect While Connecting To Serve

I have two computers networks together both running Leopard. I am able to use screen share to take control of one of the computers but when I try to connect to it to view files I keep getting told that my usename or password is incorrect. However I am using the same username and password for both and I am logging in with an administrators username. My question is why would it accept there username/password combination for one function then deny it for another? And I do have file sharing enabled on the computer that us rejecting my password.
Thanks

i have the same issue.
Was working fine a few days ago and now I can't access the airport configuration through the windows utility.
Had version 5.4.1 installed, then tried 5.4.2
Still no go

Does video chat on the new Messager on Mac allow screen share or multiple people?

does video chat on the new Messager on Mac allow screen share or multiple people?
i noticed they said that facetime will basically be taking over video calls on the mac and that Messager will take over ichat, but i'm worried they're going to drop all the nice features they had on ichat, like being able to share screens while video chatting with someone. or being able to chat with 2 people at once on a video call.
has anyone downloaded the beta of this yet and tried it out? i'm very curious

Hi,
You can start a Video chat with one Buddy and then chose Screen Share and providing you and the Buddy are using UPnP to open ports it will instantly convert to a Screen Share.
A Screen Share is only 1-1 and is technically an Audio Chat +
The Plus bit is an VNC connection alongside the Audio Chat.
This VNC connection uses a random port - hence the need to use UPnP to open the ports in the router (Or Port Mapping Protocol) in Apple Base Station.
There used to be Add-ons that allowed the Desktop as Video Feed which would have been a sort of Screen Share but none of these have been updated for Lion.
An Example is iUSBCam (ShowMacster was another - My link no longer works)
CamCamX maybe a possibility if it works in Lion (It does say it neess iUSBCam for iChat)

IChat screen share... what else?

I persuaded my Grandparents to buy Leopard specifically for screen share, but no luck so far. In fact, being home, I'm sitting in their house right now sharing their internet with airport and I STILL can't get even audio to work. I can connect with Leopard's screen share facility and with Chicken of the VNC easily, but not with iChat.
I wondered about .Mac though and the back to my mac feature. If anyone out there has it, does iChat work any better for you? With the persistent share, I figure maybe it would be easier to resolve the connection.

Okay, so I have it working... not sure what I changed, though. CotVNC does work after setting default profile to "let server decide" for color scheme. I was hoping to take it black and white to improve performance, but no can do I guess. It's a little picky if you want to kill the audio portion by turning off the mic. I can't get it back unless I quit out of iChat completely.
Nevertheless, it's working and one satisfied customer. It's speed is better than any VNC through home networks I've ever used, and the ease of connection (once you get it, of course) is equally impressive. Though I would appreciate a key combination to switch between my screen and the shared screen without having to have them stop what they're doing so I can navigate down to my window.

Setting up Screen Share

Ok. I have watched the `How to` video on using Screen Share, but how do you tell BBM that a contact can use it?
When I am feeling blue, I just start breathing again!
Solved!

Hey DHL.
BBM Video is a feature inside BBM on BlackBerry 10 Smartphones. You can engage BBM video by pressing the green BBM Video at the top right of a BBM conversation (look like a green chat bubble with a video camera icon inside).
Please refer to the BlackBerry Z10 Smartphone device details page found at http://ca.blackberry.com/smartphones/blackberry-z10.html?LID=ca:bb:devices:blackberryz10&LPOS=ca:bb:.... Scroll down and under "Highlights" you can discover more about BBM Video.

IMessage & screen share question

Why are so many options under "buddies" in imessage grayed out? I am using the new operating system, Maverick. I would like to be able to screen share but that option is gray so I cannot click on it.

Thanks for the reply.
Turns out, it was the fact that Mac A, was trying to use a user name with a capital letter, instead of all lower case. I hadn't noticed
Thanks

Cannot file share between MacBook Pro and iMac, but can Screen Share fine.

Hi all,
Very strange problem going at the minute!
I can Screen Share both ways (iMac - MBP and MBP - iMac) just fine but can't seem to File Share between either computer. They are both on the same network and both have the exact same settings under SysPrefs. I can see both devices in a Finder window and can click the 'Connect As...' button, but once I've put in my credentials, the message in the Finder window changes from 'Connecting...' to 'Connection Failed' in a matter of seconds.
Both have AFP switched on and neither has the Firewall enabled. I also cannot FTP between either computer via 'Connect to Server...', but I can utilise iTunes Home Sharing perfectly.
I've tried pretty much everything I can find on the WWW, but nothing's worked! Help!
Thanks!

Hi, thanks for your help!
I think I've solved the problem now (at long last!).
Somehow, my sharing permissions on my Home folder on either computer won't allow me access. I've tried repairing permissions multiple times, but to no avail.
I've solved the problem by sharing my Macintosh HD, rather than my individual Home folder and I can access everything as normal now.

Cannot Maintain Stable Screen Share Connection New MacBook Pro

I am having some difficulty maintaining a stable screen share connection. It just keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. It has nothing to do with my network as I have tested it from 5 machines and it's only this one.
Has anyone else experienced this with the new MacBook/ MacBook Pro's?
I have  MacBook Pro - 15" 2.53Ghz/4GB RAM/320GB @ 5400RPM
Thanks,
Dean

A little update. I have found what caused this.
When my MacBook Pro was trying to Screen Share to my iMac it would ONLY drop out when connected to this particular machine. The iMac is a 24" Aluminum 2.4Ghz it is running @ 1920 x 1200 with a 23" Apple Cinema Display connected to it @ 1920 x1200.
When I mirror the display the screen-share connection stays stable. Only when I change it to Extended does this issue occur. I am wondering if any other users have experienced this? Possibly it could be a bug in the OS as it doesn't like multiple displays during screen share.

Can't Video Chat or Screen Share with iMessages to iChat?

So I just recently got a new MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion to replace my white MacBook running Snow Leopard. I noticed iChat has been replaced by iMessages. All of my other Mac friends still use iChat. I didn't think this would be a huge difference, but I can no longer video chat or screen share with them.
I send them an invite, and they get an IM saying "[account] has sent you a video chat request". I'm registered under my AIM account, and so are they, so that's not the problem. When they send me invites, nothing happens. I get no notification, and it just shows "Waiting for response from [account]."
So I thought "okay, I'll just re-download iChat from a third-party site".
The download link just takes me directly to Apple's page about Mountain Lion. So that's out.
There's no option in my security on iMessages to override this issue and allow unknown developers. I have "Allow AOL's servers to relay video chats" option selected under Privacy, and that does nothing, either.
What's the deal? Can I no longer video chat (or screen share) with "third party" chat clients via iMessages anymore?

Hi,
I have tested my Messages (Ver 7.0.1 in OS X 10.8.2) to various versions of iChat (3, 4 and 5)
iChat 3 can send invites and open Video (Or Audio Only) chats to Messages.
The iChat 4 and 5 can Video Chat To and From Messages. (I was using AIM as I have more accounts I can play with)
I have even done 3 way Video chats in both Bonjour and AIM login using Messages and iChat 4 and 5.
I have just double checked between Messages and iChat 4 Offering the Messages Screen to the G4 (iChat 4) and I was successful.
Screen Sharing requires a Random port for the VNC connection that does the "picture" bit.
However if you had it working in iChat then this should still be working in the Messages set up. (Basically your router is doing UPnP or is an Apple Base Station doing Port Mapping Protocol)
Also iChat will not work in Mountain Lion (even if you grab the iChat 6 version)
Each version is very specific to the OS version it is with.
For instance during OS X 10.4 it got to OS X 10.4.11 but during those same increases iChat got to version 3.1.9
There was no update to Messages until OS X 10.8.2 making Messages version 7.0.1
Those small changes tend to mean that version 7.0 will not work with OS X 10.8.2 ( or the other way round)
It is all to do with the support apps and frameworks that help the app to work.

How can I use screen share of my mac mini? Problems validating

I recently purchased a mac mini to act as my home media server for audio as my airport express was not playing nicely with my Peachtree DAC. Anyway, I have set up sharing on the mac mini and can't figure out how to connect from my wife's Macbook, or her iPad. (I use a PC, so would welcome advice if available on how to connect across platforms as well.) My goal is to set up the mac mini without a monitor or keyboard connected to it and have it sit with our main stereo.
I am able to connect to the mac mini via my wife's macbook IF I ask for permission and I grant it from the mac mini. However, I am unable to connect no matter what I try if I try to log in as a registered user. I have tried to add her as a user to the mac mini, I have tried to log in as a guest, and I have tried to log in with a password but no matter what I try, I get an authentication error when I try to log in as an authorized user. For more clarity, here is what I have tried:
1. Added authorized users on the mac mini. I created a user name for "jeff", "maureen", and "lastname_maureen" on the mac mini and provided a password for each user. "jeff" and "maureen" are just created on the mac mini, and "lastname_maureen" is the user name of my wife's computer. I confirmed the passwords, and still am unable to connect. I have allowed any user on the network to access screen share, and no matter what I do I get an authentication error. Again, if I attempt to log in from my wife's computer by asking permission, it works fine but I can't figure out how to set up an account to login. Please help. Thanks!

Have you tried connecting one to the HDMI output, and another to the Thunderbolt port (with the appropriate Mini DisplayPort-to-other connection adapter as needed)?

CAN'T SCREEN SHARE! TRIED EVERYTHING! PLEASE HELP!

My girlfriend just got a new Macbook and I've been helping her set it up across campus though our network at my university. It worked fine and then one day it didn't. Every time she asks or I ask to share her screen it gives this error to both of us:
"Failed to start Screen Sharing because: Screen sharing could not be established."
I've been reading discussions on how to fix this for 2 weeks now and nothing has seemed to work. What is weird though is that I can screen share PERFECTLY with my Uncle who lives in Wisconsin (I am in Arkansas) from campus. However, I can't seem to connect to my girlfriend's computer who is simply just a few buildings away.
The following is what we've tried:
1. Switch from wired to wireless network
2. *Set "System Prefs>Quicktime>Streaming" to "1.5 Mbps T1/Intranet/LAN"
3. *Set "iChat Prefs>Audio/Video>Bandwidth Limit to both "500" and "None"
4. *Both computers have a firewall set to "Allow all incoming connections"
5. *When #4 didn't work we set firewall to "Set access for specific services and applications > iChat.app set to "Allow incoming connections"
6. Rebooted both Macs
7. Deleted all com.apple.iChat.X.plist files and started over fresh
8. *Enabled "Screen Sharing" in System Prefs>Sharing
*Restarted iChat afterwards
I think that's all. It is just really frustrating because I can screen share with someone clear across the nation but not someone who is on my same network. The only difference is that she is using a Gmail account through AOL and I am using a @me.com address. I thought maybe Gmail wasn't working so I had her switch to an AOL account and still same error.
We cannot port forward for obvious reasons at school but it worked before and nothing on the firewall has changed. I work at the IT department at our university and spoke with the person who runs the Firewall and supposedly there are no blocked ports on the part of the network we use. I know with iChat 4 in Leopard it doesn't use a specific port, it bounces around until it finds one according to article regarding port forwarding and NAT routers and iChat.
The weird part is that when we are both off campus (different houses) and try it, Screen Sharing tries to start, she gets the big words across her screen ("Screen Sharing Started" I think...) and we can hear about 5 seconds of audio and then it errors out again. I really want to get this working can someone please tell me how? This is really frustrating.
Thanks,
-jg

Hi,
First off from reading this it should be an AIM valid name (@mac.com, AIM or @me.com) to AIM valid name or
a Jabber valid name (which includes Googletalk valid Gmail IDs) to another Jabber valid name
(that is both should be using the same type of Buddy list)
As you say the Apple Doc on this is not clear on the Screen Sharing part - listing only the changes to the AV ports compared to the Previous Doc (Now article HT1507). It does not mention the Screen Sharing at all.
Reading around suggests the Screen Sharing is based on Apple Remote Desktop and reading the com.apple.ichatAgent.plist with QuickLook shows a reference to a ARD link/process. (the same can be seen if you install Developers Tools from the Install disk which will give you Property List Editor which will open the .plist files).
The Article TS16929 (Previously Doc 106439 shows that Apple Remote Desktop uses port 5900 and 5988.
Having said that though I run Little Snitch, an application that monitors and reports which IPs and Ports and application is trying to use. This shows me a completely random port in the 15xxx range along side the AV port 16402 for the Audio component. It maybe that Apple Remote Desktop also moves to a random port after it has established a connection.
Most people fail on the Audio part and get the standard Log Pop up screen to send or not to Apple - BUT you clearly have the other message...
"Failed to start Screen Sharing because: Screen sharing could not be established."
.... which is unrelated to the Audio part.
This would clearly put things in to the realms of a firewall or setting issue with possibly modem/router or LAN features getting in the way. (Leaving aside ISP related things for the moment).
You say iChat is in the Allowed Specifics List in the Leopard Firewall.
You say that nothing has changed on the Campus Firewall and can connect Off-site form On-site so it would seem not to be there.
On this last issue, check if they have introduced a Streaming cap on Intra-Site links. They may be trying to prevent other things such as Peer-to-Peer File Sharing or thing like everyone sharing their iTunes Libraries and other similar activities. The ability to Share Optical Drives re MacBook Airs maybe a factor.
I would tend to look towards your girlfriend's Mac.
Since iChat 2 it seems that some failed chats seem to hold on to ports or have some hold over the Network going on.
It seems most common when in System Preferences > Network the drop down at the top listing "Location" is left at the Automatic Default.
There are essentially two fixes for this.
1) Set up another Location and copy the settings across and switch between the two to force the Network to re-establish itself.
2)A longer way of clearing what is going on.
a) Shut any Airport card down if using WiFi
b) Shut down the computer.
c) Disconnect any Ethernet cable from either Computer or routing device (whichever is easier to reach but leave the routing device still connected to the Internet - just isolate the computer from the Internet)
d) Restart the computer (this is with no Internet Connection)
e) Restart iChat.
f) Restart Airport card or plug in Ethernet cable.
g) Using the Buddy List, select Available and make iChat Login (can also be done from the iChat Menu (> Accounts submenu in iChat 4)
On your last paragraph I would ask if you can Video chat at this set of locations ?
This is because in this scenario a feature of one of the modems may be an issue.
Some modems and routers have DOS (Denial of Service) or SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) protection. These tend to be threshold based and have no setting control in the devices set up pages (other than On or Off).
iChat can stream so much data, particularly in Video chats over what are now quite high Internet speeds that a DOS feature will consider it an Internet attack and cut the port involved. SPI tends to be judging whether the data stream is valid and does not seem to keep up and the result is the same.
In Video chats the end that has the Problem tends to get a Error -7 In the Log.
The Other end gets the "No Data for 10 Secs" message.
Summary.
Essentially though as you have tried a deletion of all the .plists for iChat and you imply both ends it is more likely something about the Network or how the Mac thinks Network resources are already allocated.
There is not an easy .plist deletion for this hence the two methods listed above.
NOTEs: 1) #8 in your list is not related to iChat.
This is what you can now use of Apple Remote Desktop itself. It has it's own Screen Sharing app (without Audio like iChat) that is invoked from the Finder's Go Menu > Go to Serve and entering a VCN:// IP address. (As a System Application, as it were, it is in /System/Core Services/Screen Sharing.app)
It does need both Macs to have the Setting Enabled as you have done it #8 though
2) Some ISPs it is suggested block Screen Sharing. (Verizon was the name I heard mentioned). How they tell what the data steam is specifically I do not know as it would seem that the Audio part of an iChat Screen share would make it look like an A/V chat and that Apple Remote Desktop must be a valid way of working for some people. However iChat is Peer-to-Peer in AV chats and Screen Sharing and some ISPs are known to actively work against these file sharing apps that bear the same generic term.
In your case I do not think this applies as you can Connect Off site via whatever ISP your Campus uses.
I hope this helps.

Can't connect via Screen Share or Web Server, but can ping and ssh

Bit of an odd problem here.
My Mountain Lion Mac Pro (called "Trogdor" for convenience) is connected to my work university network. I can ping it from anywhere-- elsewhere on the network, from home behind a firewall. Can connect over ssh from everywhere. I can also connect to other computers (on the same network or at home behind a firewall) from Trogdor via ssh, Screen Sharing, etc.
But I can't Screen Share into Trogdor, and I can't connect to Trogdor's built-in web server, either system-wide (in /Library/WebServer) or for my username (~/Sites). (I can connect to the web server from Trogdor.)
Note that I can do both of these for other computers on the same network (same subnet, etc), so it's not a network issue. I can't do these from anywhere: same network or from home. I have this problem whether I use Trogdor's hostname or its IP address. (I can look up its hostname using the IP address with the "host" tool in Terminal, and vice versa.)
So it sounds like a port issue, right? Except I don't think I've ever messed with my port settings directly. How do I diagnose the problem? Should I scan my ports? Can I return port settings to default?
Thanks!

Since updating to Lion I can no longer screen share on Snow Leopard

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone might have some insight to the problem I'm experiencing with Screen Sharing. I have two macs that I use - one is a Mac Mini 2010 Server model running Snow Leopard. The other is a MacBook that is running Lion.
Since updating to Lion on the notebook, I can no longer access screen sharing through the Mac mini to the MacBook (Can't see the Lion screen through the computer with snow leopard). I AM able to screen share the other way (see the snow leopard screen through the macbook running Lion).
It's aggrivating, in as much as these computers are on two different floors of my company, and being able to see the screen makes life easier.
I should also point out that I am able to successfully share the hard drives / files between both computers going back and forth (Snow Leopard to Lion and Lion to Snow Leopard) - it's just the screen sharing that no longer functions. When I attempt to access the other computer screen it will act like it is signing in but just hangs and does nothing.
I know there is probably much more information that someone will need to help me solve this, but I don't know where to look. But I'm hoping that with at least this much information you might be able to tell me where to look to get this corrected.
Much thanks.

If you want.
or maybe install Snow Leopard using the disc it came on with my Mac and just set it up from a Time Machine Backup on my external hard drive (since it works under SL)?
Did you install Lion on an empty partition, or did you upgrade Snow Leopard? If you upgraded, I'd not recommend erasing it, since your backups are apparently gone. It's doubtful Snow Leopard will recognize them.
It's not just backups on the drive either, there are other important things on there, so why won't they show?
Mixing Time Machine backups and other data is not a good idea. See #3 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. It sounds like the whole disk is corrupted.
I just really don't understand how this happened. Could it not be an issue with WD because they haven't issued firmware to support Lion yet?
If this is a simple external HD, connected by USB or FireWire, no, unless you installed some of WD's software on it. That shouldn't prevent it from being seen at all, but anything's possible.

Mac Mini drops out of "Shared" status in Finder of iMac - can't screen share-

I have a 27 inch mid 2010 iMac (with the WiFi problem fixed) 10.8.2
I also have a new 2012 Mac Mini. 10.8.2 + OSX Server (no monitor or keyboard/mouse)
(Both are connected via WiFi to a FIOS - Verizon/ActionTec MI424WR-GEN3I router.)
Randomly, the Mac Mini dropps out of sight to the iMac -- i.e. it no longer shows up in the "Shared" section of the Finder and, consequently I can no longer "screen share" with it.
However, OSX server continupus to serve up web pages as expected -- I can ssh into the Mini from the iMac with no problem (i.e. IP connectivity is fine). My Epson WiFi printer and my son's XP based PC show up in the "Shared" section of the FInder. Only the Mac Mini is missing.
At that point, the only way I know of to get the Mac Mini visible again is to do a "sudo shutdown -r" and viola it reappears in the Finder on the iMac.
Is there some other way to get the Mini to show up in the Finder of the iMac?
Is there some kind of "wake-up" command I can send from the iMac to the MIni via ssh?

Looks like half of the issue is answered... The WiFi in the mini DOES support WOL, as does the iMac.
However, the basic problem still remains --
The Mini is NOT sleeping, but actively running as a server 24x7 -- web and mail (I run my own domain) -- and I can log in to the mini via ssh -- but it is NOT visible as a shared device in the Finder on the iMac, and I cannot use screen sharing. Since the mini has neither keyboard nor monitor, I have to remotely reboot it via ssh - i.e. "shutdown -r" to get it to re-appear so I can screen share.
The timing is an isue. This "disappearence" seems to happen infrequently and irregularly, but has happened twice since I acququired the Mini on "Black Friday," not quite 30 days ago. If it were a simple "sleep" issue, I would have expected it to happen "hourly" or on some such frequency.
So, since WOL does not appear to be an issue in and of itself, I suspect I'll have to try to find out if "Shared Screen" is an "Advertised Service" via BSP.
Your link to http://superuser.com/questions/306651/wake-macbook-on-wi-fi-without-airport-extr eme is providing a lot of pointers. Now to spend some serious "Google time."
Since I'm working with the Verizon/ActionTec MI424WR-GEN3I router (FIOS), which seems to handle all of the various protocols without issue, I may have to dig out my old Airport Extreme.
Now retired, I sold my old 4 story Victorian and moved into a one-floor one-bedroom, and don't need the multiple routers I used to run to inorder for WIFI to cover the house. Sigh.
And to think "I thought" I retired from the world of System Administration
I have a query in to ActionTec to see if they have a configuation Option I have not "deciphered" which will deal with the WOW issue.
