Latency using Screen Share

I am experimenting with Screen Share in Lion (did not use in SL) and am having latency issues. MacBook taking control of iMac i7 quad core not too bad but iMac i7 Quad Core controlling MacBook is horrendous. Any ideas to speed things up?
Also trying to connect either way using "Apple ID" not working, only will connect using "Registered User" any thing to help out here would be great. Thanks

Just updated to 10.7.1 and all seems to be working great!

Could Troubleshoot a Mac Using Screen Share From 30 Km Away?

Hi. How far does Screen Share work? Could it be used to troubleshoot a Mac from another city or from a really far place?
Do you have full access to the other Mac using Screen Share. What can it do?
Gbu.

It would be most accurate to say it works exactly as it would as if you were sitting in front of the actual Mac. For example, if you do something like install software and the other Mac asks you for the admin password for that account, and you don't know it, the installation will not proceed. But otherwise you can click and drag and type anything you want.
Screen sharing works a lot like the other "sharing" services on a Mac, it is primarily and most easily used on a local network, but there are ways to use Screen Sharing across the Internet. They are the same ways as for any other network sharing service, which is, you have to know the IP address of the router that the Mac is behind, and there must be a port open the router to let outsiders in who know the password, and then you tunnel through to the actual Mac you want. You can look up Mac screen sharing over the web in Google.

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

Can I play WMV files in a PPT using screen share?

Will the embedded WMV files in a PPT play correctly using screen share? My CEO has a presentation through Adobe Connect. We plan to screen share. Does this allow Connect to play WMV files? I've google over and over but I seem to get answers for file share instead.

If you convert the videos to MP4 or FLV you can upload them directly to a share pod and play them back in the room. Please don't play videos through screen share for the following reasons:
Screen sharing runs at 3-5 Frames Per Second (FPS), while your video runs at around 30 FPS. Thus your attendees only see about 10% of the videos frames and that makes them look choppy.
No audio is broadcast through your screen share, it is just the image of your monitor.
Window's media player (the player most likely to play back WMV content) has anti-piracy stuff built into it, and it notorious for blocking the media from being capture by a screen recording application, which Connect's screen sharing functionality tends to fall into.
It will just make you and your attendees angry and frustrated.
Supported file types in the Share pod: PPT, PPTX, PNG, MP4, F4V, Adobe PDF, SWF, FLV, JPEG, and MP3 file types
To have a video embedded in your PPT that plays back in a Connect Meeting you will likely need Adobe Presenter 10

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)?

Screen Share - How does one lock the remote computer screen?

Using Screen Share in Lion I am unable to lock the remote users screen.

I use JollysFastVNC as my local client, and remote screen lock used to work with Snow Leopard. They have a note on their website that it doesn't work with Lion, when I try it kicks me out of the session.
I wonder if Apple removed this feature and reserved it for Apple Remote Desktop?

Screen share movie issues (Mac)

I'm trying to stream a movie to my friend by using screen share and my computer's Dvd Player but when they try to view the Dvd screen it just shows up as a grey/white checkerboard for them however they can hear it. I don't understand why it's doing this and it seems like many other people have had these issues in the past. Please help us. We were so excited to finally be able to watch movies together and now we can't.

Probably a DRM issue. Something is telling your software that a second screen is being used and its not authorized too. http://www.cnet.com/news/hdcp-2-2-what-you-need-to-know/

Screen share on Macs

I'm trying to help someone use screen share on a Mac. We're
running Breeze 5.1. I tried it and was unsuccessful. Does the
screen share function work on only specific versions of IE? Or
specific versions of the Mac OS?

With connect Pro 6 I've done screen sharing with Macs and PCs
and had no problems. You may want to talk to the reseller you
purchased your Breeze system from or feel free to PM me to get you
on a current Maintenance and Support contract so that you are sure
to have the latest version of the products.

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!
Go to Solution.

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.

Audio with Screen Share?

Is there any way to get the audio from a computer that you are connected to with screen sharing?
I often work from home and use Screen Share to connect to work computer. It would be extremely helpful if I could hear the audio from that computer. I don't expect crystal clear audio, just enough to hear in and out points on quick edits.
Thanks,
Heather

i've never heard of audio coming across the screen sharing window... would like to know more, if it is an option... is it an option in preferences or something?
The reference to iChat was audio converstation with the person on the other end while you are trying to diagnose their system.
It is NOT the remote Mac generated audio.
regarding iChat, last time i heard, iChat requires a dotMac account for most of its features...
iChat works with AOL Instant Messaging (AIM) and you can get a free account. I have been using this with my Mom to do text, audio, and video chats with my Mom since Mac OS X 10.3 came out.
And more recently iChat has added support for XMPP (aka Jabber) instant messaging networks. I use XMPP with my companies IM service, as well as Google's GTalk IM service.
i only occasionally use iChat with google, but no audio goes across, nor file xfers... i don't know how iChat would work either since i think iChat would require someone to be at the destination computer to accept the connection... do you have more info about how this works and what "network servers" it requires to work?
A donation-ware plug-in extension for iChat called Chax adds a iChat preference option to auto-accept an invitation to share the screen for a list of specified users.
But again, this is ONLY useful for getting audio from the person sitting on the other end.
But the auto-answer for screen sharing can help solve the, how do I get through the home NAT router and how to I find the remote comptuer. iChat is providing that service.

Screen share window size is wrong following Mavericks upgrade

Hi, I use screen share quite a bit, both over LAN but also over the internet and love the feature. I usually have no problems, but after the upgrade to Mavericks on my iMac and Mac Mini (Both 2011 models), I've started seeing problems with the window size of screen share.
Going from my Mavericks iMac to my Lion Macbook pro, there's no problem, and my imac shows a screen share window that is the resolution of the MBP (1440x900). But if I do screen share from my iMac (2550x1440), to my Mac mini (Which is attached by HDMI to a HDTV at 1920x1080), the window gets continuously smaller on each session, and it is now stuck at what I would guess is 320x240.
How can I change this size? I assume is has something to do with Mavericks horrible resolution handling, as I don't get a list of resolutions over HDMI anymore in System Preferences, which was nice and easy in pre-Mavericks OS'.

Thanks, using the zoom button did actually improve quite a bit. It is not full resolution, but almost twice the size it was before and definitely usefull, thanks! Never though about doing that..
Scaling manually doesnt work over the current max window resolution though.

Ideal screen share settings for control mode

Hi LCCS Team,
I am using screen share in my app including screen view and screen control.
When an agent requests to control the screen of a customer, there is a noticable lag of 1+ seconds
between screen refreshes from what customers sees and what agent then sees. Sometimes it is more
than that. Where it gets even harded is when agent is trying to control customer's mouse and keyboard.
The lag makes it somewhat impossible to remote control.
Is there a specific setting that I should use in my code to optimize for control mode? If not, what
is the general setting that I should be using.
Lastly, are there limits on throughput between the client version of the app and the agent since
the data has to pass through LCCS cloud? Would that affect this?
Thanks,
Michael

In order to answer your questions, one would need audio and video specifications. 'The best export settings' depend on many things including the pixel size, the target video size...

I'm trying to use Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins via Screen Share to their iTunes.

Using Mountain Lion Server so my family can have separate logins and connect via Screen Share.
Works great, each has their own home directory and permissions are perfect.
Now setting up iTunes for each with their own Library (not shared), thus keeping multiple Libraries.
I get this;
This Computer is already associated with an Apple ID.
If you download past purchases with your Apple ID, you
cannot auto-download past purchases with a different
Apple ID for 90 days.
What!
So what it is on the same computer, they are completely separate Libraries never to be mixed.
If this works, I only need to keep one computer up and running, instead of three.
Each can do their syncing/backup and connect to the various Airplay/AppleTVs I have around the house.
How do I fix this.
Thanks

Bottom line is you can't - easily.
You need to make sure that you log out of the server each time otherwise the ID is running. To explain, if you had a laptop with different people using it, your solution works fine. Each time someone logs in, the iTunes ID is different so it works as you can only have one person using the laptop at any one time.
Now, turning your problem inside-out, you want people to be able to log into iTunes concurrently to use their own version of the program with their own library. This does not seem to work and you get the conflicted ID error message. Even though iTunes is running under their own login ident, I have never been able to get this working reliably and was told that iTunes is NOT a network-aware application as it is designed to be single user.
The way I got around this was to login as XYZ and to make sure that the ID was changed in iTunes accordingly. However, it did not always work so I gave up with the whole thing.

No Video, No Screen share, No idea how to use it.

I have only ever used iChat to msg back and forth with friends overseas. However, in the last few years I have converted my whole family to Apple and they want to start video chatting. I have read countless discussions and maybe I'm not looking in the right area because really I have no idea how to look for an answer when I not sure what the right question is.
So here is my question. How do I set this thing up? I do not know that much about routers and ports and all that but I will list what I have and maybe someone can help me out. I as well as the rest of my family have iChat4.0.7 and Running 10.5.6 for the OS. I am hooked up to the internet via wireless router Lynksys WRT350N. I know how to set the router up so that it's not broadcasting it's name and so it has a hefty password but that's about it. When it comes to ports and know where to type in TCP 5190, 5220, 5222, 5223, 5298 or UDP 5190, 5297, 5298, 5353, 5678, 16393-16402 I have no clue.
I log onto ichat via AIM and Google. For my Google it is connected to talk.google.com for the server out port 5223 and use SSL is checked as far as AIM the server it slogin.oscar.aol.com port 5190 and use SSL is checked.
By the way I can share screens with my wife in house on the same router but not otherwise.
I used to be able to share screens and log onto my edit suite across town when I had to remotely help another editor but now when I bought my new MacBook Pro I can not do that anymore. This might be a completely different topic that should be listed under a share screen discussion board... not found that one yet.
If more information is needed please let me know and I would be glad to give what I know to fix this. It really should not be this hard but for me it seems to have stumped me really good.

Ok,
There are different methods of opening ports or allowing applications to use ports in a modem or router.
AS you want to Screen Share then it would be best to use UPnP (Universal Plug n Play).
Te Linksys will have this in the Adminstration page of it's set up page s that you can access in a web browser.
Use these Instructions only as far as gaining access then go to the Administration page/tab.
Enable UPnP
Go to the Security tab and Allow it to Respond to Anonymous Pings
Lets us know when you have done that.

After the 10.9.2 upgrade I can't screen share with any Macs using Back to my Mac.

I did the 10.9.2 combo upgrade on a bunch of Macs I manage and now I can't use Back to my Mac for screen sharing on any of them. Does this upgrade mess with the original settings? Any suggestions? Anyone else see this?

Back to my Mac has been unreliable for me (and a lot of other users) ever since the Mavericks upgrade, 10.9.0.
I find that if I turn all screen sharing off, then back on again, remote macs can share my screen. But the fix usually lasts just a few days, sometimes as little as 24 hours.
So everything depends on me remembering to open Sys Prefs and then toggle Back to My Mac (in iCloud) and Remote Login, File Sharing, and Screen Sharing (all in Sharing) in the morning before I go to work. If I remember, I'm able to do screen sharing that day from work. If I forget, I'll get errors when I try to Screen Share via the link that appears under Shared in the Finder sidebar. The link is reliably present in the Finder sidebar, it just doesn't work if I haven't refreshed the Sys Prefs settings.
Hope this workaround is helpful. Wish they had a more permanent fix.
