Login freezes on iMac with Lion after screen sharing with another mac.

I have an iMac 27" Late 2009 2.8Ghz Intel Core i7 upgraded with Lion 10.7 (11A511). I have screen sharing enabled on this computer, and I accessed the computer with a 15" MacBook Pro also running Lion of the same version. The screen sharing work. However, when I exited screen sharing on my MacBook, and attempt to login again on the iMac, the login is stuck after entering the password.
Is anybody else have similar issues?

I am having this problem as well. On a late 2009 MPB. I can login to the guest account with no problem and I can also create a new user, but I cant access any of my filevaulted files. This happened after Silverlight caused Safari and everything else to freeze and I had to hard reboot, It's almost like lion is trying to reopen those apps when logging back in and it can't. I reinstalled Lion and repaired disks and disk permissions from the recovery hd. Anyone else??

Keyboard lockout after screen sharing

I was doing some screen sharing from another Mac on my LAN. There's no "disconnect" feature to stop the remote control, so I simply quit the Screen Sharing "application," closed all windows, and logged out of the controlling Mac.
Problem is, at the target Mac, upon every other restart approximately, like this morning after software updating, the keyboard is locked out. Entire keyboard has no effect. Mouse control is okay. The other Mac wasn't touched for days, while this target Mac has been logging in and out just fine. The restart puts me in a state where I cannot type in my login password, and restarting (with mouse) brings me back to the same state, restart after restart. I don't think it has anything to do with the software update, but instead, some kind of residual control from the other Mac that was not fully severed upon quitting.
Even after going back to the other Mac to remotely log into Finder via screen sharing, the keyboard in the target Mac is still like disconnected. Mouse control still okay. Same problem.
Any solution?

Entire keyboard is locked out EVERY TIME my Mac is restarted! Not just every other time. I mean NOTHING on the keyboard works when locked out -- like it's disconnected, but there's no physical disconnection.
The iffy workaround that gets me back to normal, and only sometimes, is restarting via screen sharing from the remote Mac, then "closing" +Screen Sharing+ (it quits immediately), then quickly logging out of the controlling remote Mac. And THEN I still have to restart the target Mac several times to get lucky! For example, just now restarting five times did not work, but going through the gyration again + restarting twice got me back.
Remote Mac = 2005 Powerbook 15" G4 running 10.5.5
Target Mac = 2003 Dual 2GHz PowerMac G5 running 10.5.5
This new phenomenon came about only after I used +Screen Sharing+ on the LAN.
Help!

How do I switch remote desktops with lion server screen sharing?

When I sometimes use the Lion Server screen sharing feature to take over my iMac using my Macbook, I find that I'm not able to switch desktops on the remote computer, i.e. using the three finger swipe.
Both are running the latest versions of Lion Server.
Now there MUST be some way to do that right?
Who knows?

Hi John, perhaps I did not express myself clearly.
My desktop iMac is set up with multiple desktops (desktop 1 for system stuff, desktop 2 for mail, messages, skype etc, desktop 3 for Safari and desktop 4 for text proessing, VM-Ware and other work).
When I work on that machine I'm logged in as one user and use the three finger swipe left and right or the Cmd-1 thru Cmd-4 keys to switch between those desktops.
I haven't founf how to do that from my a remotely connected MacBook Pro.
Both of which are running Mountain Lion in the mean time. The iMac runs Mountain Lion Server and the MBP has ML Server installed as well, but nut implemented. Just to be able to use the remote screen...
Hope this makes my question a bit mre clear...

Do I have to pay to upgrade my Macbook to Lion After paying to Upgrade my Mac?

Do I have to pay to upgrade my Macbook to Lion After paying to Upgrade my Mac? Or does Apple allow you to pay once to upgrade both?

No, you buy it once and you can install it on both your macs. Just sign in the App store on the second Mac with the same AppleID and you go to the Purchased tab. You can install it from there.
If you make a copy of the installer the first time you download it then you can use that without having to download 4Gigs again. The last step of the install process deletes this download so copy before installing.

How can I share contact list with another MAC

How can I share my contact list with another MAC?

Hi,
There does seem to be a presumption in the other reply that your girlfriend is living with you.
A File transfer via Bonjour would then work.
Also the File Sharing in System Preferences > Sharing would cause her computer to show up on your Finder's side bar as a Share.
With iChat if you both have AIM Login names you could still do File Transfers.
(It is slightly more complicated if you have Jabber ID logged in alothough not impossible).

There really isn't any workaround to the cost. You can't get the parts needed to fix it yourself. Only Apple has those parts and they do not sell them to end users.
Sure you could take it apart and clean everything and the screen might start working again but then it might not. Depending on what cause it to stop working in the first place. Like something got shorted out.

Sharing files with another mac

I have some videos on Iphoto that I want to share with another Mac via the cloud. How do they find it on their computer?

One of the most secure way to share files over the internet is to use an sftp server.
Goto your system preferences-->sharing-->turn on remote login.
Then on your router's or firewalls port forward tcp port 22 to your mac. Then you can log into each others mac using an SFTP client such as transmit or cyberduck.

I want to be able to create a document on my computer and save it on both my MacBook Pro and another MacBook. Also, I want to be able to open documents saved only on the MacBook on my MacBook Pro. Is that possible on the same wirelss?
Thank you!

You would not want to use ad hoc networking if you also need to access the internet. I'm not even sure it is possible.
How are you accessing the internet from these Macs now? If you have a wifi (or wired) network that you both access in your work location, you should be able to use File Sharing across that network, so you shouldn't need the ad hoc network.
Some general observations:
You'll need a plan for how to keep straight which Mac holds the most current version of a file. That should probably be to keep each file in only one place (your Mac, the other Mac, a local file server, a cloud server). Even in our home, with one person doing most of the file accessing, I find a central location works best for this; in my case, that's a desktop system that stays on all the time, but a disk attached to my AirPort Extreme base station, a Time Capsule, or a NAS would serve.
If you make use of the portability of the MacBook[Pro]s to work in different locations, you'll also need a plan that includes that working away from the main work location. If you often work with common files while away from your main work location, a cloud solution may be best even with just two of you. Depending on the size of your files, one of the free cloud solutions may suffice; most offer paid expansion as your needs grow.

Can't audio chat with another Mac user who is using AIM

Can't audio chat with another Mac user who is using AIM but I can when they are using iChat. Is there a way that I can fix this problem.

The Mac OS X version of AIM is not capable of audio or video chats. There is no way around this.

After Lion install screen sharing won't accept my password

I just updated my *headless* mac-mini to 10.7. As soon as it rebooted
Since updating to OS 10.7 on my Mac Mini, I have been unable to log in via Screen Sharing (using my 10.7 installed Mac Pro). I continually receive the error "Authenticaion failed to 'MacMini'. Please verify you have entered the correct name and password." The name and password are correct, and the mac-mini lets me "Connect As ..." with the username and password. Only the Screen Sharing application fails to authenticate. I had no troubles an hour ago when it had Snow Leopard installed.
Any solution before I have to travel to this mini?
Thanks,
Jim

My family has multiple Macs at home and I also help a friend at a remote location. What is weird, is I was able to do screen sharing with the Mac at the remote location and a couple at home, but was not able to get screen sharing to work on the majority of our Macs at home. Rebooting did not help. Deleting my user login and corresponding home folder (then rebooting) and recreating a new user under the same login name that was deleted did not help. Repairing permissions in Disk Utility did not help. I did not try creating a user under a totally different login name and setting up screen sharing to share with that user name. I was going to try that this morning. However, on another thread, someone offered another thing to try. I tried it and it worked.
This is what eventually worked for me... This work around seems to expose that there is definitely a bug:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15812668#15812668
Quote from andifor:
"Full name and account name on my computers are also the same.
But I did some deviation last time I tried. I changed my name on the connection dialog. I changed the name from "user" to "uSer" (changed one letter to capital) and it did work!
So if you login name is "peter", change it to "pEter" or "peTer", just on the login screen.
Looks more and more like a bug and only Apple can help. Does anybody know, if they are monitoring these discussions or is there a possibility to log some bug report?"

Lion Server Screen Sharing for Adminstrator

I'm having difficulty using my Administrator account for remote screen sharing after the upgrade to Lion Server. All other remote access tools work (Server Admin, SSH, file sharing, etc.). I'm also using LogMeIn to get to the server and, if I make an adjustment to standard user account to allow for server administration that account can use screen sharing with no problems. Only my administrator account does not seem to work. Has anyone else seen this?
