How EXACTLY does Screen Sharing work on Lion?

I tried to connect to my best friend's MacBook but it wouldn't work.
Can anyone give me detailed information on how to set up screensharing on the Mac?
We don't want to keep using Skype for that because it is extremely laggy and keeps crashing like it's its favorite thing to do.

Il try it right now from a mac running 10.6.8 to an Air running 10.7....
Make sure screensharing is tunred on in sharing preferences on both computers
Open a finder window on the computer you wish to view/share from
find the computer you wish to share/view on the sidebar
click sharescreen on the black bar
enter credentials

  • One .mac account, 4 computers - does screen sharing work?

    Hi there,
    I have one .mac account, however I have multiple computers running Leopard at home. Is it possible to have multiple ichat accounts on one single .mac account? Or do I have to get a .mac account for each computer of the household in order to be able to have them as separate entities on my contact list and therefore share the screen?
    If it's possible with one .mac account, how would I have to set up my machines?
    Thanks for information,
    Christoph

    Hi Tony,
    I am trying to access one of the machines from the outside. (I've installed a port forwarding accordingly). Would that mean I'd have to setup a VPN?

  • How exactly does e-print work

    Does the media go straight to my printer or is it on a 3rd party server . Does anyone have rights to my emails or are they viewable?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    The printer will be connected to the internet via your router. From here it will always have an open connection to the HP eprint servers so any incoming jobs can arrive and print out. Since the printer is on the router directly this is why the printer can eprint even with your PC turned off. If the router were off however then eprint jobs would not work.

  • How exactly does graph.performInference() work?

    So as far as I understand, if a rules index does not exist, calling this function will call a SEM_APIS.CREATE_ENTAILMENT using whatever info it gets from the attachment. I noticed however that when the rulebase specified by the attachment already exists (e.g. it is created manually via SEM_APIS.CREATE_ENTAILMENT in SQLPLUS) the the function will still run. What does it do in the latter case? Does it update the rules index like graph.commitTransaction() or does it do nothing?
    -Alexi

    Hi,
    Answer to 1) is yes.
    For your second question, "Is there a way to do something like graph.performInference() via the SEM_APIS? Or do I have to call SEM_APIS.CREATE_ENTILMENT every time I add/delete a triple from the model?"
    SEM_APIS.create_entailment is the API you want to call from SQL to run inference. Whether you need to call that API every time you add/delete a triple
    is application dependent. You may want to run create_entailment periodically. Note that, Oracle Database release 11.2 has a cool feature called incremental inference maintenance. It can efficiently update the inference closure after a few triples are added. Please see the user manual for details.
    Hope it helps,

  • How exactly does the new iCloud accessing feature work?

    I have heard that the new firmware allows access to any hard drives connected to an AirPort through iCloud.
    How exactly does this feature work? Will the files be accessible on the web? Will I be able to mount the hard drive remotely if my computer is logged in with the same iCloud account?
    Please clarify, as I am considering buying now.

    The "magic" behind iCloud for accessing either your AirPort Extreme/Time Capsule or your Mac from the Internet is Back to My Mac (BtMM). For reference, iCloud replaced MobileMe.
    Here are a few links for more details around BtMM:

  • Does Ichat screen sharing work properly with Lion OSX?

    Hello, I am planning to install the new OS Lion soon. However, I was wondering if the Ichat screen sharing works properly with Lion. I use the screen sharing quite a lot to communicate with my co-workers, so it's a deal breaker if the app crashes when using the screen sharing option. Thank you!

  • Screen sharing in Mountain Lion

    The apple creen sharing app is no longer working in Mountain Lion. How can i now screen share remotly to nother mac without physically being at that computer to accept it (hence why i cant use iChat)?

    I found the problem. I was using an old version of Screen Sharing either from lion or snow leopard which doesnt work on Mountain Lion, you either type vnc://***.***.***.*** in Connect to Server in finder and it will automatically open screen sharing, or you can find the new screen sharing app in System/Libraby/CoreServices.

  • Does VMWare Fusion work with Lion

    Does VMWare Fusion work with Lion?

    After upgrading to Lion, I was experiencing significant problems with my MacBook Pro waking from sleep.  It would present me with the screen asking for my password and as soon as I typed into the field the screen would blank.  Almost like a badly done game.
    In an effort to address this, I re-installed VMWare Fusion.  The problem has not presented itself since, and it was happening on almost every wake-from-sleep.
    Take this as what it is -- a one-time anecdotal report.  But if you're experiencing issues after upgrading to Lion and you have Fusion, try just re-installing Fusion.  It doesn't take long and it doesn't impact your VMs (I'd shut them down before the re-install, but that's probably not a requirement).

    How well does the express work in a 2400 square foot home being on the top floor? us on the bottom floor
    As you might imagine, without knowing a ton of information about the actual construction of the walls and ceiling of your home.....how many walls and other obstructions would be in the signal path of each device.....and the distance between each device and the AirPort Express.....along with how many users would be online at one time or another and what activities they would be involved in......etc., it's really not possible to accurately predict what type of results you might achieve.
    The bottom line with any wireless installation is that you really won't know how effectively it will actually perform until you try it.
    My opinion would be that you will likely need to add an additonal AirPort Express to "extend" the wireless more effectively to the bottom floor. But again, the same things apply as above.

    It certainly allows you to copy ripped CDs. Just did that myself last week.
