How can view another macs screen without asking for permission

I just recently upgraded all 4 of our macbook pros to mountain lion.  So far no problems until I wanted to look at my sons screen to make sure he was doing homework and not playing minecraft.  I went to "Network", chose his computer on our network, then chose Share screen.  I get two choices "ask for Permission" or "Log in".   I have screen sharing enabled on his computer and I have myself as a registered user.  I have tried turning on and off the Back to my Mac setting in iCloud on both computers.    I want to be able to see his screen without it asking for his permission.  Kind of defeats my purpose for screen sharing if it gives him time to quit minecraft before he answers my request. 
The other choice "Log In"  is beyond useless.  I have not idea what the purpose would be to be logged in on someones computer and only be able to see your own screen.
Before I upgraded to Mtn. Lion, I was able to screen share and see any computer without it asking for permission because I was a registered user on their computer.  I home school my kids and need to be able to see/control their screens from another room. 
Any ideas on how to get this to work?
Thanks,
Jennifer

Nope, it shows me a log in screen with my daughter/son's pic but won't let me type anything in the password box.

    Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
    So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
    So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
    I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
    What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

    Try using Lion Recovery

  • How can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?

    how can I turn off Keychain from asking for my password EVERY time I check for mail?
    This is really driving me nuts.....
    Thanks

    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security & Privacy, and then click General. 
    Open the General pane of Security & Privacy preferences
    2.     Select “Require password...NEVER after sleep or screen saver begins.”  You can adjust the amount of delay before a password is required in the pop-up menu.
    From what I am aware, you cannot turn off the keychain.
    I hope this helps.

    Hello!!!
    This realy works??

    Where is the backup of the media and other important files from the computer?  Ultimately, it is the users responsibility to ensure that backups exists. Waiting until there is a problem to decide to do a backup is not smart.  Would you wait until a fire started in your home to call the insurance company and inquire about homeowners/renters insurance????
    In the event that no backup exists (stop being lazy.... keep backups of YOUR data and other important files):
    If you are in the US and running iTunes 10.3 or later, it is possible to redownload music via iCloud from purchased history.
    If you are not in the US or for some reason cannot run iTunes 10.3 or later, contact iTunes customer support and ask very nicely for the opportunity to redownload the content.  They are not required to provide this opportunity.
    It is also possible to transfer content from an iDevice that was purchased via iTunes.  On the new computer, sign into the iTunes account, authorize the computer, connect the device then select File > Transfer Purchases.
    The simplest method of all is to transfer or copy the media (and other important files) from the old computer or the backup of the old computer.  Typing "move itunes library" into the search bar here or into google will reveal step by step instructions on how to do this.

  • How can I download a transfer without waiting for it be all transferred?

    How can I download a transfer without waiting for it be all transferred? Thanks.

    Thanks, that now makes sense. Once an item enters the download queue, the user cannot remove it. Either let it complete the download (easiest) or contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the Contact page (select the category and subcategory closest to the issue you're reporting and you'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) and ask them if they'll remove the item(s) from your queue for you.
    Regards.

    This is not difficult and you will not have to download from the app store.
    your computer has what is called  a recovery partition that came with it.
    simply hold cmd+R while you boot up. let go a second after you hear the chime.
    you will boot into the recovery partition.
    Use disk utlity to format your usb drive and then exit Disk utlity and go to Reinstall Mountain Lion.
    it will ask  you which disk you want to install ML onto. Choose your new USB drive.
    easy peasy

    Which version did you buy on your iPad ? If you bought the HD version then that is only compatible with the iPad, so you will need to buy the iPhone/Pod version (or download the free version) if you want to use it on your iPhone.

  • How can i redownload rings tones without paying for them again?

    How can i redownload rings tones without paying for them again?

    Most, but not all, content on the US iTunes Store is available to download again through iTunes in the Cloud (a couple notable exceptions seem to be TV Shows that don't have "seasons", such as The Daily Show, Colbert Report, etc.). For more information about downloading past purchases you should take a look at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

  • How did the Amex App access my location without asking for permission first?

    I just downloaded the Amex App and started using it, put in my info and logged in. Checked balances and things then logged out. After going to my settings I noticed Amex was turned on under Location Sevices and that it had accessed my location earlier. It did not ask me if I allow or not when I was logging in the App earlier. This is the first time that my location was accessed without permission from any app or safari. I realize once you allow the permission it doesn't ask again, but in my case I just downloaded the app and used it the first time. Is this how some apps may do it, without permission?  I thought Apple was big on these kinds of things? 

    My apologies about the post but in the App there was a section where it did ask for permission. It's all good. Thanks

  • How can i make my iMac stop asking for passwords?

    How on earth can I make my iMac quit asking me for passwords? I've tried a few attempts at resetting Keychain passwords. Nothing I do seems to change any behaviors. I'm also complete noob to Mac so go easy with the jargon. I've even had a session an apple support person and fixed it temporarily.
    my imac is current with OS X 10.9.2

  • How can I be sure the popups asking for my master password come from the Software Security Device ?

    I did setup a master password on my Firefox. I therefore have the Software Security Device asking for my master password now and then as a popup, but I have no way to be sure that the popup is coming from the Software Security Device.
    How can I be sure that it's not coming from a website or an extension trying to steal my passwords ?

    That message will not be from Mozilla, there are rogue sites that use this method to try to get people to install malware/viruses/trojans. Do not install anything from that site.
