IChat 4.0 - Share Remote Screen - "Slow Network" Problem

The iChat Connection Doctor shows that I don't have the capability to "Share Remote Screen" due to "Slow Network." I am able to have someone else share my screen, but not the other way around. The "Ask to share users screen" option is grayed out. I've tried it on two different cable modems, which are not slow. Does anyone know a fix for this?
I'm running a 867 MHz PowerPC G4 with OS 10.5.1.

Screen Sharing/network problem seems confined to 1 volume. What's the fix?

I am having a networking problem on one of the volumes of my multi-volumed, three-Mac local area network, and I need a networking guru to identify the specific software file(s), application(s), or system configuration that is the cause of the problem. I have already spent several hours checking and re-checking the various hardware and system preference settings involved, and I have narrowed the problem down to a software corruption issue and/or system configuration issue on one volume.
I now need someone to identify specifically what the nature of the problem is, and how to eliminate it. I am not looking for a sledgehammer solution that says I should re-install all of the Mac OS X software on the problem volume. That may be held in reserve as a last resort. I'm looking for a more elegant approach, one that points out the specific corrupt files to remove without disturbing everything else.
Here's some background to set the context. I have a MacBook Pro laptop; a PowerMac iMac G5; and a PowerMac G4 hooked up in a network. All are running Leopard 10.5.8. All have file sharing and screen sharing enabled. Besides being able to connect to each other using registered users, my goal here is for each of the Macs to be able to share the screen of the others upon my demand. Since each of the 3 Macs can theoretically share the screens of the other 2, that makes a total of six possible connections. Five succeed; one does not. That's the problem. I am trying to determine why the iMac G5 cannot share the screen of the MacBook Pro.
The iMac G5 has no problem sharing the screen of the PowerMac G4. That connection is fast and immediate. But, every time that I hit the Share Screen button on the iMac G5 to try to connect to the MacBook Pro, I get a window with the blue barber pole spinning for two or three minutes as it is allegedly "Connecting to Mac Book Pro," followed by a window with a headline telling me that "Connection Failed to MacBook Pro." The text within that window goes on to say: "Please make sure that Screen Sharing (in the Sharing section of System Preferences) is enabled on the computer to which you are attempting to connect. Also make sure that your network connection is working properly."
Well, as I indicated, the PowerMac G4 has no problem sharing the screen of the MacBook Pro, so the Screen Sharing settings on the laptop are correct; and the iMac G5 can share the screen of the PowerMac G4, so its network connection is working properly in that regard. It is only in regards to sharing the screen of the MacBook Pro that the iMac G5 is not working properly.
The reason why I say that the issue must be unique to the one volume in question, let's call it "iMacG5 Music," is that another Leopard volume on the same computer has no problem whatsoever in sharing the screen of the MacBook Pro. Whenever I boot up in that volume, let's call it "iMacG5 JMB," it makes a network connection with a registered user name immediately, and it is able to share the screen of the MacBook Pro within a second of my issuing the command. In sharp contrast to the success of the iMacG5 JMB volume, the iMacG5 Music is unacceptably slow (several minutes slow!) in making a network connection with the MacBook Pro, and it always fails to share the screen of the MacBook Pro, preferring instead to take about three minutes to attempt the connection, before announcing its failure.
Since the iMacG5 Music volume makes an immediate network connection to the PowerMac G4, as well as sharing the screen of the PowerMac G4 the moment I ask it to, I have concluded that the hardware of the iMac G5 is just fine. The problem seems confined to the system software and/or associated networking files that are unique to the iMacG5 Music volume. I just don't know what those files could be, or where the problem lies, so I've issued this call for help.
Let me add one more little twist to this puzzle which baffles me even more. I use external LaCie Firewire drives as clone backups of my Macs. As part of my trouble-shooting process, I booted up from the cloned versions of the iMacG5 JMB volume and the iMacG5 Music volume. What I learned surprised me!
The iMacG5 JMB clone worked just fine in making a fast network connection to the MacBook Pro, as well as sharing the screen of the MacBook Pro. I expected that. What I did not expect was that the iMacG5 Music clone was also able to make a fast network to the MacBook Pro, as well as share its screen!
Yes, that's right. It's weird! Screen sharing works OK when I start-up from the clone of the iMacG5 Music volume, but it does not succeed when I boot up on the source itself! I was surprised to find that out, but I'm glad I did.
(Over the past few days since I executed the last clone, I did use Drive Genius to de-frag the source volume, and maybe that has contributed to the problem I am now encountering. But it's hard to say, since nothing else seems to be amiss.)
One solution, I suppose, would be to sync the clone back to the source. But, before I do that, I'm just wondering if anyone has a clue as to the nature of this problem on the source volume and what I might do to remedy it—short of re-installing the system software or restoring from the clone. Anyone have any insight to this problem?

CORRECTION #2:
Ignore the previous "CORRECTION" post.
Oops, excuse me, I wrote that sentence correctly the first time.
I was trying to point out that the ability of the iMac G5 computer to connect quickly and effectively to the PowerMac G4 when booted up into the iMacG5 Music volume was an indication (to me, anyway) that there is nothing wrong with the computer's hardware, nor its network connection ability, but that the problem lay somewhere in the files/settings used to connect to the MacBook Pro, which it cannot accomplish.
This is what happens when I get engrossed in one of these technical morasses and it ***** me into its vortex all through the night... time for bed.

Ichat screen sharing - "slow network"

Hi
I am trying to use screen sharing between an intel imac and a mac book pro over the internet. Both running latest versions of Leopard. The enable screen sharing menu item is greyed out. Connection doctor has a red cross next to "share my screen" with the message "(slow network)". Same for host multiperson video. Share remote screen has a green tick.
I have enable upnp on my router as recommended elsewhere. No change. Similarly, I have also set Quick Time streaming speed to 1.5 Mbps. No change.
I have tested by internet speeds at www.auditmypc.com:
download: 9782Kbps
upload: 526.4 Kbps
Is the upload speed causing the problem? Any tips on how to fix this pls (Virgin Media cable broadband)?
Thanks

QT is still on 1.5Mps, which I had set before trying the tips suggested here. iChat video still has the 500Kbps setting I gave it as advised.
Oddly, screen sharing is now available even though I am back on wireless not ethernet. This all seems a bit unpredictable and unreliable for something which is supposed to be 'easy' screen sharing!
Thanks again for the help people have given which has (hopefully) fixed this.

Screen Sharing Stopped Working Due to Slow Network

I have been sharing the screen of a friend with an iMac. I have an MBP and both our computers have all updates. After I updated her iMac I now longer can share her screen. She can still share mine and I can share my screen with others and I can share other users screens. She is the only one whose screen I can't share.
This started after a number of updates were installed on her iMac. The Connection Doctor says her iMac does not have the capability to share because of slow network connection. I tested the connection and it does not appear to be slow. I have tried a cable yet because it is pretty far from the modem and I need to get a longer cable.
I changed all settings on both computers to the recommendations I read here. Quicktime 1.5 MBps, ichat 500 kb bandwidth, set security to specific and allow ichat. Still cannot share screen of iMac and "slow network" given as reason.

Hi,
If the Quicktiem setting had to be changed iChat will need restarting to "See" that new Speed.
If that has been done you could try deleting com.apple.ichat.plist where this info is held.
WARNING this loses all the other settings made in the Preferences (Fonts, Colours, Balloon or text background colour, Saved Transcripts, Menu Bar Icon, Some iChat 4 specific things - Remember Open Chats Across launch, Name spotting.) and Saved Status Messages.

IChat over slow network

Hello,
I'm not really good with network stuff, so I know very little about my problem here. I'm working on an offshore drilling rig and they've recently set up a wi-fi system for personal use. It's very slow and governed by the nanny Websense.
I know some people are able to use their IM chats and I was wondering if there is a way to set up my iChat to work on such a slow network. It won't connect at all when I'm here. I know I won't be able to video or audio chat, but I should at least be able to text chat, shouldn't I? Or is it possible that Websense has blocked certain IM's and not others?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Lawrence

Hi,
In iChat go to the Preferences > Account section
GO to the Server Settings tab
Whilst logged off of AIM chnage the port to 443
Log in to AIM.
This is because the regular Login port is 5190.
The AIM Application on a PC or in fact the AIM for Mac application will automatically try other ports including the web browsing port (80) to make a connection.
The port 5190 is above a Threshold of 1024 where ports have to be opened specifically. Using port 443 is below this and also used fro Secure Mail by mail applications so is likely to be open.

(Slow Network): iSight camera not working in iChat since Leopard upgrade

I have a different type of iChat video issue. My Power Mac G4, 867 MHz, 1 GB DRAM is a supported Mac for the Leopard upgrade. I've successfully installed OS 10.5.
Also my Power Mac meets the iChat Conferencing Requirements for 1-on-1 Video Chat per the OS 10.5 system requirements and the application note here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301050
My iSight camera is connected via Firewire to an Apple Cinema Display, which feeds back to the Power Mac G4.
1) When I boot from my 10.3.9 Carbon Copy Cloner backup my iSight works in iChat (at least locally to see myself) without any issue. Green light comes on and shows me locally on video and audio sound bars. Before the OS upgrade the iSight worked fine for live video conferences with iChat 2.1.3 under Mac OS 10.3.9
2) Running OS 10.5 when I go to iChat 4.0's preferences video pane the following message is waiting "This computer does not support video conferencing."
3) With Leopard iChat 4.0 the Connector Doctor under "capabilities" says "(Slow Network)" for 1-on-1 Video Chat and won't even show video locally or turn on the iSight's green light.

Fixed!
My Power Mac Quicksilver G4, 867 MHz. problem with (Slow Network) in the iChat Connection Doctor, no video preview or video iChat since upgrading to OS 10.5 Leopard and iChat 4.0 has been solved with the following posted towards the end of the thread below. I can finally see my video preview with iChat 4.0 and have also video chatted successfully with one other user.

My question is that if I am using Mac and another friend of mine is using Ipad mini and her skpe isnt working and we want to share screens how can we do it through Ichat? Since on facetime screens cant be shared!

Hi,
You can't.
Messages - the replacement for iChat in Mountain Lion and beyond will do Screen Sharing but only to the accounts it did in iChat 5 and 6 (actually it includes iChat 4 as well)
That is to say in earlier version of iChat you could login to AIM and Jabber servers as well as enabling the Bonjour option to chat on your LAN.
All these will do Video and Audio only chats which in turn means they will Screen Share.
At iChat 6 an Yahoo option was added but it can only Text chat (it can't even send Files or Pics)
This means only the Internet able accounts that login in to AIM or to a Jabber server can Video and therefore Screen Share.
The iMessages account will Invoke FaceTime if you use the Video icon during text chat. (I.e. it is not Video inside the app like the AIM or Jabber accounts can do)
NOTE.
AIM includes Apple Issued Apple ID as Valid AIM Screen Names.
Google Mail ID s can be used and Google Talk IDs with Messages as they run a Jabber server.
Facebook allow you to create a Chat ID (Facebook Chat ID) which is also a Jabber server.

When trying to share my screen in iChat, the other person only sees green

When I try to share my screen with someone using iChat, the person sharing it with me cannot see anything on my screen. I've tried reinstalling Mac OS on my computer but it hasn't helped...what can I do?!

HI,
To be clear, iOS = iPhone and iPad and some iPod Touches and the Operating System they use.
Mac OS X = the Operating System Mac computers use.
Regarding the AOL account, is this actually from AOL and have the Chat/Messaging option enabled ?
Or is it a Name registered with the AIM part of AIM ?
You can have AOL as your ISP and have an email and User ID from them.
This needs to have the ability to use the name as a Chat name enabled (or at least it used to)
AIM, which actually stands for AOL Instant Messaging has it's own registration site.
Nowadays you register for a AIM email (although activating it for mail is another additional step).
It used to be that the bit before the @aim.com bit was the user name you used in Chat applications that could use AIM.
Previous to the current system you could in fact register just a Screen Name with them.
Apple (and a few US based ISPs) also have agreements with AIM that their (Apple, etc.) emails are recognised as Valid AIM Screen Names.
This means those issued by Apple ending in @mac.com, @me.com issued from the iCloud registration and @icloud.com.
(You do have to keep your password to 16 characters or less.)
From what you are saying you seem to be sure that you can see each other as On Line in your respective AIM Buddy lists ?
In Messages in both Mountain Lion and Mavericks you do not have to display the Buddy lists
(See the Window Menu plus the General Section of the Preferences to separate them)
Are you also saying that in the Video menu the option to allow Screen Shares is Enabled ?
Is it done at both ends ?
In iChat you could offer to Share your Screen with a Buddy without the option being On (they could not ask to share yours or offer theirs). I have not tested this in Messages.

Since me and my mother moved from iChat to iMessage bêta, screen sharing works only one way. I can share my screen with her but not the reverse. When actually what I would like to do is share her screen. Video works fine both ways.

Screensharing works only one way since we moved from iChat to iMessage bêta. Before that we have never had any problem with screen sharing. We haven't changed anything else, just installed iMessage. What I need to do is share her screen, and the only thing I can do is share my screen...
Thanks for your help.

HI,
On the whole I am finding it very stable. (it presents the same quirks in the same manner each time)
It has some things that are more Feature requests than "Bugs" per se about the way it works that I would like to change.
It can also be difficult to tell exactly what is going on whenyou are hearing about it third hand.
Sounds like you have a plan.

ICHAT Screen sharing with "Share My Screen"

I am able to screen share when I "Ask to share" my father's screen, and he is able to "Ask to share" my screen. Both work successfully. However, when either of us select "Share My Screen" with the other, the audio kicks in but the window that says "Starting Screen Sharing with" username just keeps spinning, never switching over to sharing the screen.
I have a MacBook Pro running 10.5.2. He has a MacBook 1gb 2ghz Intel Core 2 Duo running 10.5.2.

I am talking about this page/pane on the Airport Admin Utility info
Where it says "Share AN IP" at the bottom, in the drop down
This is where it does DHCP to your LAN (And therefore computers)
If you do mean this pane then we need to know what IP is shown where the 75 is shown.
Is it one starting 192.168.x.xxx (or 10.something or 172.something) ?
If it does list an IP in one of those Groups and the SHare an IP is ON then you have two DHCP servers.
As for accessing the DSL modem it is normally a question of using a Web browser
You need the IP from the place where the 75 is showing as the "Router" IP This would be the one to use in a web browser if it is one of those groups.
After that use this page http://portforward.com/routers.htm
If you device shows then click on it.
In the Next page click on iChat.
The Page that comes up should be used for reference only.
It should contain the default IP and the User ID and Password if it uses one.
Once you get here check all the Settings and look to see what is active in UPnP if you have it, Port Forwarding, Port Triggering and DMZ.
Lets us know what you find.
Telling us the make and model will provide a bit of a check of other issues.

IChat Screen Sharing - I can share my screen, but Dad can't share his

Hi all,
Last week I used iChat screen sharing to help my Dad with his iMac, and although it froze and dropped out frequently, it was working.
This week, for some reason we can only share my screen, but not his. On both sides, the option to share his screen is disabled (greyed out). Also the Video > Screen Sharing Enabled menu item is also disabled on his Mac, but mine is enabled and turned on.
Both of us have Screen Sharing turned on in System Preferences > Sharing, and both have set to allow access to anyone.
He restarted his Mac a couple of times, but no luck.
Has anyone had the same problem, and is there a solution? Any idea why it would work last week but not this week?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.
Will.

Hi,
You can come back and change the marking of the answered or not so that is not a problem.
What it should help is stop other people joining in (an effectively loading you with email alerts when they do).
A good specific title like your should also help.

IChat fails to Share Video or Share desktop, regardless of network

Recently iChat's Video and Screensharing functionality has given up on me.
According to a lot of threads online it's a network problem, but in 3 verry distinct scenario's iChat would fail.
1. Over the internet (Airport Extreme on my end, tried with different users): Error -7 or Error -8
2. Wireless over same network: Error -7 or Error -8
3. Ad-hoc network: iChat stayed in the "connecting" stage for over 15 minutes
I'm truly baffled by this, as it used to work fine. These are the things I already checked
- Firewall settings on Macbook (turned off)
- Interference with other programs (Adium, Skype, ...), turned them all off
- Service hoging the needed ports (portscan didn't show anything)
- iChat connection doctor (says all is fine)
Other information which might be of help
- I run the webkit nightly builds
- I run the latest betas of Adium and Skype
- I have Parallels installed
If anyone has any ideas, pleas help me out
Thx!
== UPDATE ==
I also cleared the cache (several times), both of iChat and Quicktime

Hi,
Apple do read the Boards. (they do not however comment).
Various Apple Articles (Formally Apple Docs) are based on stuff from the boards.
Here is an old one from iChat 2 days
Not so old from iChat 3 days
This specific Issue
notice the Update date.
This thread started 3 days after Leopard cam out is likely to be one of the first mentions of the issue.
Level 4 and 5 posters also have a place where they can post notable things to the Hosts if they feel it is more urgent.
From the iChat Menu you can access this page

You can report what you think are faults (and solutions if you find them) or Wish List stuff.
I hope that helps.

How do I get Share my Screen to work?

I'm trying to share my screen iMac to MacBook. Both on Mountain Lion. Under the VIDEO drop down Screen Sharing on both computers is checked off. In SYSTEM PREFERNCES > SHARING, Screen Sharing is on. Yet, I cannot share my screen, or share the screen of my friend via Messages.
ANY IDEAS HOW TO FIX???

HI,
The @me.com, the GoogleTalk and Bonjour accounts should all be able to do Screen Sharing in Messages.
The other end does have to be using either iChat or Messages as well.
It does need to be On at your end but does not have to have the System Preferences > Sharing option Enabled (Uses the same engine (Apple Remote Desktop) only)
It may pay to go to the General section of the Preferences for the App and Untick the line that gathers the 3 Buddy List in to one.
Then highlight each Buddy List in turn and then check the Video Menu > Screen Sharing again as it may be an issue with one account that is crossing over when they are linked.
The next reason could be your Internet Speed.
Messages "measures" this at the app start up
It can get "confused" as to the speed if you have it starting up at the same time as the Mac because of the things the OS does in starting up and creating the Internet connection.
Also check Messages Menu > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit.
This should not be set at the 200kbps (it is too close to the minimum of 128 needed for the Screen Sharing if your service varies)
Of course it could be your service is too slow.

Transparant Speedtouch enables videochat AND remote screen!!!!

By making my Speedtouch ST780 as transparant as possible, i can finally videochat AND do remote screen.
1) I assigned my Mac the public IP address of my speedtouch, using the Speedtouch webinterface: Home > Network > Devices > Assign the public IP address of a connection to a device
   This adds the next portmapping In the ST780 portmap
   Idx Type Interface Outside Address Inside Address Use
   3 NAPT Internet aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd 23
2) I set the security level of the firewall of the speedtouch to disabled, using the Speedtouch webinterface: Home > Toolbox > Firewall > Configure
   This adds the next firewall rule in the ST780:
   Chain Nr. Flags Rule
   forwardlevelDisabled 1 C E AnyTraffic : accept . > .
3) I set the firewall of the Mac to " Set access for specific services and applications" and added the application ichat. Setting the Mac's firewall to "Allow all incoming connections" also works, but i need some protection now.
Of course my VOIP telephone of the speedtouch doesnot work now, but that's the next problem to tackle. Now i start from a working situation. The steps will be:
1) make a copy of the standard security level of the ST780, so you can edit it
2) add a line in the portmap to map all ports not yet used to my Mac
3) define a service for all UDP ports to be used in the firewall rules
4)add a firewall rule, allowing traffic form any interface to any interface, or a little more strict from wan to lan and vice versa
I will let you know the results

It isn't a bug - setting up your Mac as a web server is easy. Connecting remotely is a little harder. A service like logmein makes it very easy but if you want to avoid third parties have a look at this article: http://lifehacker.com/software/feature/special-how-to-control-your-home-computer -from-anywhere-125607.php
I've used Chicken of the VNC on Tiger and it works well - connecting remotely is more of a challenge but isn't too hard.

Slow network while running Archlinux

Hi there,
Recently (and, that's the weirdest part, recently only) the network have been really slow. From what I see when I'm running Windows, I assume I actually only get a fraction of the speed I should get when I'm running ArchLinux.
For instance, when I'm alone at home, I have an acceptable connection with ArchLinux (though I still can't play online games : too much lag. I have to boot on Windows for that).
And when some roommates are here, I have an utterly slow connection which makes it barely possible to load a page from ArchLinux's wiki (though I can do it with Windows with no problem, and can still play online games with a bit of lag).
It's been lasting for the past three months, so I'm pretty sure it's no coincidence : there's something wrong.
I've been reading some pieces of the wiki and tried to find what's wrong with my configuration. I did find that the hostname from the rc.conf and hosts files were different, but changing that didn't solve the network problem.
Here is my configuration :
/etc/rc.conf
# /etc/rc.conf - Main Configuration for Arch Linux
# LOCALIZATION
# LOCALE: available languages can be listed with the 'locale -a' command
# DAEMON_LOCALE: If set to 'yes', use $LOCALE as the locale during daemon

# HARDWARECLOCK: set to "", "UTC" or "localtime", any other value will result
# in the hardware clock being left untouched (useful for virtualization)
# Note: Using "localtime" is discouraged, using "" makes hwclock fall back
# to the value in /var/lib/hwclock/adjfile

I tried commenting either of the DNS servers, without any changes.
I also tried with two different network daemons, NetworkManager and Wicd.
Is there something wrong with my configuration ? Is there something I can do to find out where does this problem may come from ?

Re-read this section on rc.conf and also cross-refer with the various items such as netcfg, as well as taking note of the single network approach and what you should do in #2 re: network daemon vs. your config with networkmanager:

Take a look at pdnsd as an alternative way to configure DNS lookups, also check out OpenDNS and Google's DNS as potential alternative nameservers so that you don't rely on your ISP's services.

Let us know if that makes it better.
NB: The DNS bit is an alternative approach that does not necessarily solve your issues though might be a desirable configuration.
