How to show list in Screen Sharing icon in Dock?

On one of my iMacs, I've added the Screen Sharing icon to the dock for quick access. When I right click it, I can choose from recent sessions, and the session will open like normal. That machine is running 10.8.1.
How do I enable this behavior? I have a MacBook Air also running 10.8.1, and for the life of me, I can't figure out how to enable this behavior.
Thanks for your help, but please note, I'm trying to enable the behavior I'm asking about -- I know all the other tricks about making direct aliases, etc. That's not what I'm trying to do.

I have the exact same question. Did you figure it out?
Thanks!

Why is Messages screen sharing icon grayed out?

Trying to do remote screen sharing with my mom's Mac using the new feature in Yosemite.
If you're not familiar with it, the new method does not require AIM, Jabber, etc and is independent of screen sharing settings in System Preferences (per Messages Help).
The procedure is:
In the main Messages window, select the name of the person you want to share with or, if you haven't previously exchanged messages, do so now.
Click 'details' on the right of the top bar of the main window.
In the menu that pops up, there are three icons: screen sharing, video chat, and audio chat/phone call. Click the screen sharing icon and send a request.
Today, my mom signed into her Messages account and we successfully exchanged iMessage messages (not SMS).
When I clicked 'details' the screen sharing and phone call icons were grayed out (or, more accurately, 'blued out' - they were a fainter shade of blue).
I clicked another name in the Conversations list and then clicked back to my mom's name. When I clicked 'details' this time, the screen sharing icon was no longer grayed out, so I sent a request to share her screen. She didn't receive the request, so I canceled it.
When I clicked on 'Details' again, the screen sharing icon was grayed out again. As far as I know, nothing had changed on my mom's end.
What could cause the screen sharing icon to be grayed out? And what could cause it to toggle back and forth between grayed out and normal?
Both computers are running the latest version of Yosemite, 10.10.3. Mine is a 2009 Mac Pro 8-core with 16 GB RAM, hers is a MacBook Pro from around 2012 or 2013.
Thanks!

Hi,
(He did say that he'd heard that due to changes in Google's system that their accounts no longer work with Messages.)
What he has heard and what are true are two different things
Logged in Google account
There are issues with Messages using SSL to login to the Google Talk server and Google saying SSL is Less Secure (there is a setting to Enable Less Secure apps like Mail that also uses SSL and Messages).
Some people find that 2 step Verification cannot be set at Google's Account settings if your want to use the Less Secure Apps setting.
1. I deleted my AIM account from Messages and had my mom do the same. The result is that we each only have two items in the Accounts window of Messages: an iMessage account (signed in with our Apple IDs) and a Bonjour account.
2. Clicking on the Details menu, the screen sharing icon was available for both of us. It was not grayed out.
This is using two different Methods of Screen Sharing in Messages (It is silly it has two but there we go)
For AIM use the Buddy List and the icons at the bottom or highlight the Buddy and use the Buddies Menu
DO NOT USE the Details option.
For iMessages start text chat then use the Detail Option an NOT THE BUDDIES Menu.
For the iMessages Method you have to Enable System Preferences > Sharing > Screen Sharing to allow the App to be Invoked.
(It is like FaceTime is invoked but only works to Macs)
As you mention the Connection Doctor only refers to the older "iChat Method for Aim and Jabber and Bonjour - if you can Video you should be able to Screen Share with that method.

Screen sharing icon in Messages dimmed out when it shouldn't be

Running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 on 2009 27" iMac. I was attempting to share my screen with another person also running OS X Yosemite (also 10.10.2) via Messages and the screen sharing icon is dimmed out (while both FaceTime video and audio icons are NOT dimmed out). I went through creating and entering an app specific password for both Messages and FaceTime and my iCloud account is signed into both. Tried signing out and back in as well, but that did not resolve it. Tried rebooing as well, but the issue remains. The other person is able to screen share with other individuals running Yosemite so I assume it's something on my end, but I have no idea what.
Ideas?

Hi,
The App is Messages.
It can have an iMessages account is use.
This distinction is becoming more important as time goes on.
In Yosemite the Messages App can start a Video (or Audio and also Screen Sharing) two different ways. (it's related bear with me).
As the iChat app the AIM and Jabber accounts have been able to Video chat within the app since iChat 2 for AIM accounts and iChat 3 for Jabber when it was added. (Screen Sharing is added at iChat 4)
This needs the Video Menu > Enable the three items for Video, Audio and Screen Sharing.
In Yosemite the iMessages account can start a video from the Main window when a text Chat is going on using the Details option to right.
To start an AIM Video chat (same for Jabber and Bonjour) you need the Buddy list to be displayed, Highlight the Buddy and then use either the icon at the bottom of the Buddy List or the Buddies menu.
To Start an iMessages Video chat you need to first set up FaceTime with the same Apple ID account (it can be done with a different ID but this can cause confusing at the other end about who is calling).
Then you use the Details option having started a Text (iMessages) chat with them.
This in turn Invokes the FaceTime App and 'Calls' the ID your are iMessaging to. If you are using a different ID in FaceTime they see that and not the one in the iMessages account.
Screen Sharing
Screen Sharing is similar in that it (iMessages account) invokes an outside app to do the Screen Sharing.
You first need to go to System Preferences > Sharing and enable the Screen Sharing item.
Then in Messages in the Main window during a iMessages Chat/conversation with someone you need to use the Details option top right and select the Linked Squares for the Screen Sharing.
This invokes the Screen Sharing App (System/Library/Core Services/Applications) and connects the two computers with and Audio chat along side.
For the iChat type accounts (AIM, Jabber and Bonjour) you use the Buddy list like the Video chats.
NOTES.
If you have other Macs on your LAN and they appear in the Finder's Side bar as Shares you can select them and use the button in the Finder Window to Screen Share with those Macs.
This too invokes the Screen Sharing app.
Another way is to use the Go Menu in the Finder > Go to Server and enter VNC:// and the IP address instead of AFP or SMB (Or Browse instead)
In the System Preferences > Sharing you will also find Remote Management.
This cannot be on the same time as Screen Sharing. However in use from the Finder it allows the Screen Sharing described above.
All of these use the Client end of Apple Remote Desktop (ARD).
However the Finder methods described do not come wither Audio Chat described for the iMessages or AIM/Jabber/Bonjour way.
Also if you try to use the Details method with an AIM or Jabber of Bonjour Buddy it will not work as it tries to do this the iMessages way.
Basically "icons" and "Messages" is not enough to say where you are in the app to pin point this further.

10.8 Screen Sharing Icon Stuck

Has anyone had the 10.8 screen sharing icon stick in the menu bar of a computer that has been controlled? I've already tried to pull it out of the menu bar using the CMD key like one can with most icons, but all it does is slide the icon back and forth in the bar.
Also, the only computer to ever control my iMac is shut down.
thx

Actually the screen shot above is a right-click on the sharing icon, any clicking results in the contextual menu. I guess I also forgot to mention that I'd already tried your suggestions along with a reboot prior to posting but thanks.
I guess I'll have to wait until I go to work and maybe connect back to this computer and disconnect to see if that clears it. Maybe it's just "stuck".

How do I edit the Screen Sharing 'Most Recently Used' files list ?

I have recently added a mac mini to the network at home, and will be using this as a headless device. I am connecting remotely (using screen sharing) which works well. I have set the Sceeen Sharing icon to remain permanently visible on the dock, ad by right clicking, I get a list of the most recently used shares.
The trouble is, that some of theses shares no longer exist, and tghere is also some duplication.
I would like to edit this list, but cannot find out how to do it.
Can anyone help please ?
Thanks
Geoff
PS - The same principle applies to a number of other programs that retaim n MRU lst on their dock icon - how can these be edited.

This doesn't apply to me anymore.

How to get out of screen sharing

how do you get back to video chat when you are in screen sharing..........when I end screen sharing, I lose the video connection.............there has to be a way to get to video chatting...........right?

Hi,
Restart a Video Chat.
In reality iChat ends the Video Chat and connects the Audio Chat alongside the Screen Share fairly rapidly as the ports and connection is already made.
However iChat is not set up to either continue an Audio chat or "Go Back" to Video chatting.
You have to restart a Video Chat.
One thing I have not tried is to click on a Video icon of a Buddy to see if this will start a Chat and end the Screen Share similar to what happens the other way round.
Mostly it tends to be about wanting to end the Screen Sharing fairly completely (or quickly if someone is too nosey).

How to show list view of pages?

I want to show list of subsits on navigation. when clicking a subsite on navigation to show corresponding pages in list view. on clicking a page in list view to open page. please share your view how it can be done.

Hi Magesh,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to show subsites on the navigation, and when the mouse hovers, the corresponding pages are shown in list view, click these pages, it will be opened. Is it right?
To achieve it, you can use managed navigation. Go to Site Settings->Term store management, you can create a term set, create terms based on the names of the subistes, for each term, click Navigation, and under Navigation Node Type, select the URL of the
subsite for “Simple Link or Header”. Then in each corresonding subsite term, create some sub-terms related to pages, and for each sub-term, click Navigation and under Navigation Node Type, select the URLs of the corresponding page for “Simple Link or Header”.
After the above, go to Site Settings->Navigation, on the Global Navigation section, select “Managed Navagation:…”. On the Managed Navigation :Term Set section, select the term that you created.
More information, please refer to the link:

I hope this helps.

How does ARD compare with Screen Sharing

I make a lot of use of Screen Sharing for managing multiple computers across the internet. However, with the drastically reduced price of ARD on the App Store I am tempted to replace my Screen sharing usage. However, if all I need is screen sharing do I gain anything ?

Only the ability to show multiple computers at once
http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/remoteassistance.html
and perhaps Curtain Mode (that may be in the normal screen sharing; I can't recall). Other than that, ignoring all the other features and functions of ARD, then unless there's something I'm not thinking of, the screen sharing capabilities are the same.
Regards.

How to show list items in html page design?

How to achieve this? thanks in advance!

As per my understanding, You want to just redesign your list form. You can achieve the same using SPD2010 or you can use jQuery also if you don't have rights for SPD customization.

Does screen sharing icon always mean someone is watching?

Is it always true that the existence of the sharing icon means that another computer is looking at my screen?
I have noticed that sometimes, but not always, as soon as I enable screen sharing, the sharing icon appears at the top of the screen; even though no one is apparently sharing my screen. I limit who can share to my own login credentials; I use a strong password and while it is always possible someone got it, it doesn't seem very likely they would turn on screen sharing at the exact time that I enabled it. When I click on the icon and then click to end screen sharing, the icon soon reappears.
Also, typically when you are sharing "on purpose" and you click to stop the sharing, you are given a warning that the other user will be disconnected. I don't get that warning when I stop the sharing, which leads me to suspect that indeed no one is watching ... which begs the question of why is the icon there if no one is actively sharing?

Hi,
For the points
You emailed me this post as well. One Method will do.
Copy of email for other readers
"Hi,
We are talking about the app tucked away in the Hard Drive/System/Library/Core Services folder ?
This is the same app as invoked in the Go Menu > Go to Server > VNC
(missing icon here) Said Icon (I see an Outline of Screen but also see it has the binoculars)
When I do this via the Go Menu I am asked to Log on to the other computer.
I have not got the "Remember this in my Keychain" activated.
I have not played around with it enough to find out if it will try to reconnect if the second (Shared) computer is shut down before the request end has Quit the App.
I also Quit by using the App Menu rather than the iCon drop down and so do not get the message.
Also if I use the Red Button on the Screen asking to Share the window closes and the App Quits with no warning popping up either.
I think, looking at your phrasing in the Post, that this has something to do with the way you are ending Screen Sharing - either stopping Permission when Connected or shutting down the the Shared Screen Computer whilst still sharing.
The other computer (asking to Share) is then trying to re-establish the connection - possibly with Keychain Stored info as soon as Permission is granted again."

How to show a variable screen when clicking on direct link of report in ,when that report is used as target in RRI alsoRRI

Hi All,
I have created RRI between two reports and the type is web template/WAD.
My requirement is to show the variable screen of target report when clicked on direct link and it should not show the var. screen if it goes from jump/go to.
while currently I can not see var. screen on both the places and when switching the var. scree. display on in web template , it shows the screen at both the places.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Anu

Hi Anu,
"And when I am using another var. in assignment details which is ready for input (in both the queries), its not helping."
Did you try using such a variable? What kind of a problem do you face? I am sorry I am still trying to understand your problem. I am just saying that which variable you use is not important for the first query. Only in the second query, add a variable with ready for input (I am not sure why the other doesn't work, I just tried and it gave an error, that's why I suggest this) and in RRI connection make the assignment with this variable. Please try this and let me know the result.

How to show a Canvas screen before exit the midlet

If i want to show a canvas screen after user click exit to quit the midlet (after call the notifyDestroy()), any way to do that? thanks.

Hi,
you have to catch the exit event in the commandAction method and there you will display a YES/No form:
create your YES/NO form:
Form yesNoForm = new Form("Exit?");
yesNoForm.append("You are about to exit the application!Exit?")
yesNoForm.addCommand(new Command("Yes",Command.OK,1));
yesNoForm.addCommand(new Command("Cancel",Command.CANCEL,0));
yesNoForm.setCommandListener(this);
!!!Note you can write your own command classes extended from the Command and add those to yesNoForm, that way you will have a better control on the application.
commandAction(Command c, Displayable d){
if (c.getCommandType() == Command.EXIT) {
display.setCurrent(yesNoForm);
if(c.getCommandType() == Command.OK){
destroyApp(true);
notifyDestroyed();
if(c.getCommandType() == Command.CANCEL){
display.setCurrent(mainForm);
This should work.
