Long delay in screen sharing

Has anyone else experienced very long delays in screen
sharing? My actions are taking at least 30 seconds to be shown to
participants and the connection to the Connect server regularly
breaks. It's made it impossible to give any presentations and has
been quicker to email screenshots through to people during a live
presentation!
My Internet connection is fine with several speed test
websites showing at least 2.5Mbps dl and 384Kbps ul. Latency is
<1ms according to Connect. The local preview of the screenshare
is running about 10-15 seconds behind.
Thanks,
Gary.

Thanks Jorma. I've even gone down to 800x600 and it doesn't
make any difference at all. After trying for 2 weeks to get Adobe
to respond to a support call I made, someone from Adobe India tried
to help but they don't have access to the Adobe servers so weren't
able to run any diagnostic at the head end. So I'm stuck with a
white elephant after paying Adobe up front for a whole year. They
should at least offer me a refund.

  • Long delay printing to shared printer

    I have a HP C4180 connected to a Windows 7 PC via USB.  The printer is being shared by this computer.  I have added the printer to another Windows 7 computer on my network via Add Network Printer option in Windows 7.  Initially I was able to print just fine to the printer via the network share.  However, now when I try to print to it, the printer does not print.  The computer that it is connected to is turned on and shows the printer as ready.  However, the WIndows 7 windows to "see what's printing" does not show any documents in the queue.  This is the case on both computers.  Now I can print from the computer that is connected directly to the printer without any problems.  For some reason the network printing is what appears to be broken.  I have tried deleting the printer and then re-installing it on the client PC,.  This works for awhile, but then after several days the same problem occurs again where it does not print.  Sometimes, documents that I send to the printer will print after a long period of time goes by (sometimes 30 minutes or more), but other times it does not print at all.  
    I am really stumped on why this is hapenning.  I have uninstalled the HP drivers on all comptuers and then tried to re-install them, but the problem still exists.   I am thinking that this problem may have started when I enabled Windows 7 Homegroup, but I am not certain if that is the case or not.  I am out of ideas and need some help please.

    Looked over the suggestions.  The only suggestion that may have been hopeful was the DNS router setting.  However, my Westel DSL Modem/Router does not have this setting anywhere to be found on the web interface that it exposes.
    So far, I still have no idea how to correct this problem.  

  • Screen sharing and vnc not working

    OSX Lion Screen Sharing
    I was using screen sharing on OSX Leopard using VNC Viewer.  Even after upgrading to OSX Lion this worked ok.  But then the other day there was an update to screen sharing which I applied.  This first, switced screen sharing off, so I have switched it back on.
    However now my VNC client no longer works with Screen Sharing.  I get the new login screen but at that point all keyboard and mouse input is ignored and is therefore unusable.
    This was working ok before the screen sharing update.
    Anyone else had this issue?

    Thanks but that is talking about using VNC on a Mac rather than connecting to a Mac with a VNC, my VNC client is running on windows.  Also, since my original post, TightVNC has also experienced the same issues with OSX Lions Screen Sharing so its not just a RealVNC issue.
    I did manage to connect once, just after rebooting OSX and that session worked fine, subsequent sessions exhibited the same issue though.

  • Long connection times to Leopard server using ssh and screen sharing

    I'm experiencing long connection times when using ssh (30 seconds, or so, before password prompt appears), and screen sharing (upwards of 5 minutes before display opens). Both the server and the macbook pro I'm connecting with are on the same LAN, with the sever connected by wire directly to an Airport Extreme, and the MBP connecting via wireless.
    Anybody have any thoughts as to what's causing the long delays in connecting?

    A ping goes rather quickly, and the TNSNAMES.ORA file already contains the IP address. I have other software that connects to the Oracle server just fine without a long delay. I am not sure if this other software uses ODBC, it is a package software. I was begining to think I might have miscoded the connection in the VB program?

  • Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?

    My screen sharing functionality did not show up in the dock with an updated icon.  It had a question mark- shows my connections but nothing works, I did make sure screen sharing is on and also connected to VPN.  Once I tried to launch screen sharing nothing happens.  Such an elegant solution in Mavericks not does not work. Ugh. Help!

    This is the post that got me set up- I too am running an older version at work vs. Yosemite. As soon as I followed is advice everything worked.
    Upgraded to Yosemite and can no longer remote into my work iMac through screen sharing- it is turned on in settings?
    I believe the location of the "Screen Sharing" app has changed, which explains why if you had it in the dock it has been replaced by a ?
    Don't forget you can launch screen sharing (once your VPN connection is up) by typing in the Safari destination slot vnc://remotemachinename:portnumber  (omit the :port number if you are using the default VNC port, 5900).  This should launch Screen Sharing and put its icon in the dock.  You can drag the Screen Sharing icon to the left of your dock and it will hopefully remain there after you exit Screen Sharing, or you can right-click on the icon when it's running and select Options->Show in Finder to find out its new location and drag its icon to the permanent entries in your dock.
    Hope this helps; worked for me.

  • Screen Sharing no longer working

    Hello, everyone.  I have developed an issue with screen sharing on my MacBook Pro running OX 10.6.8, and I cannot seem to resolve it.  Perhaps I am missing something.  I realize this is a long post, but I am trying to be as complete as possible with my description of the problem and the steps I have taken to try to resolve it.
    Screen sharing is of particular importance to me because I use it to control a Mac Mini that has my entire iTunes library. The Mac Mini is running OS 10.6.8.
    Ordinarily, I would open Finder, click on the Mac Mini under "Devices," then "Share Screen" in the upper right corner of the Finder window. I enter my name and password in the login box, and I am controlling my Mac Mini within seconds.
    Within the last few days, however, I have been unable to complete the connection. The first sign that something was wrong was when it took almost five minutes just for the login window to appear.  Then, after I entered my login information, the "Connecting..." gear began spinning. It never gets any farther than that.  I have even tried waiting as long as 45 minutes for the connection to complete before giving up, which requires restarting my computer, since force-quitting Screen Sharing doesn't work.
    First, I tried re-booting my Mac Mini a few times, with no success.  I also tried re-booting my MacBook Pro both in normal and safe mode, followed by repairing permissions and checking the volume structure (Disk Utility found no errors). I even tried running the full suite of Onyx scripts.
    To isolate the issue, I took two other computers in my house, one running OS 10.7.4 and the other running OS 10.8, and they connected perfectly. All computers are on the same wireless network (although the Mac Mini connects to the same network through ethernet).  Therefore, the issue has to be with my MacBook Pro.
    Does anyone have any ideas as to how to resolve this issue?  Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

    I too was running a Mac Mini with Server 10.6.8. Using it as a Netboot server was working just fine, but I wanted to look up the version of something on the mini. Connecting over screen sharing hung all day yesterday, so today I hooked up a keyboard, mouse, and display to look up the information from the mini. Turning off and restarting the shared services, restarting the mini, deleting keychains, attempting to get a screen share from a Finder connection... all hung at the "Connecting..." dialogue. I found this thread and signed out of MobileMe on the mini, and on the iMac I was using to connect. The connection went through at last, and now it's re-establishing without a hitch.

  • Screen Sharing No Longer Responds from Master Machine

    For a long time, I have used screen sharing from my iMac to control my Mac Mini on the TV. Now, I can connect to screen sharing but the Mac Mini no longer responds to any commands from the iMac.
    Another factor that may have contributed to this:
    I use Hippo Remote to control the Mac Mini as my home theatre PC. This also has worked fine for a long time. Now, however, it can hardly get a connection anymore and when it does, I have no control over the Mac Mini any more. I've emailed their tech support but with little result.
    The only other thing I know of is that I'm running two video server clients on my iMac to provide remote access to video files via my iPhone or iPad. I don't think those should interfere with the Mac Mini though.
    Has anyone else run into this? Know of any solutions?
    I've tried reboots, turning off the Hippo Remote VNC server on the Mac Mini, and other servers but nothing is getting me what I used to have.

    On a Specific day there was a problem with the SNATMAP server and everyone had issues with iChat Video and Audio chats.
    The Original Poster did not seem to make it to the other threads at the same time.
    I informed him that there had been a issue and that it seemed sorted for most people and asked if he still had an issue.
    On the basis he said he was working - the problem and cause of that problem have been dealt with.
    At which point do you not get that, in this thread, the issue discussed is sorted for the original poster and that you should move on ?

    An External event (SNATMAP Down) to all parties caused the problem he had and a second External event (SNATMAP up) solved it.
    AS SNATMAP has not fallen over recently you have another problem and it is not related to this one.
    I hope this is clear enough for you.

  • ARD no longer shows "control computer", only "screen sharing avail"??

    I have been running ARD for well over a year on my iMac to manage several servers that are located far away from me.
    I normally use the "copy" feature to push new zip files of our Web site to the server when it is updated. When logging into ARD today, I noticed all the servers are no longer showing "Control". Instead they all have "Screen Sharing Available" listed in the current status column. When I go to copy my files from my local machine to the servers, I get an error: "This Task Will Fail - The remote desktop software is not active on www.servername.com".
    However if I select a server and then click the control button, I can still connect to the server fully and work with it?
    This has never happened before and I am at a loss as to the issue. I have had some changes to my local setup recently that may be the cause of the problem.
    1) Linksys router died, replaced it with a Apple Airport Extreme.
    2) Keychain got corrupted. Deleted the login.keychain file to rebuild a new one.
    I have restarted my iMac several times, and even restarted the servers to see if this would clear up the problem. No luck.
    If I try and drag-copy my zip files to the servers from my local machine after connecting via ARD, the window that asks if I want to send the file ignores my click on the "send" button and does nothing? Before this problem occurred I could easily drag-copy items.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this to occur or how I can reset/fix my ARD clients and servers?

    Okay I have figured out part of the problem and fixed it, although one issue still persists.
    I fixed the "Current Status" issue for my servers by adding port 5900 & 3283 to the port forwarding settings in my Airport Extreme via the Airport Utility application. I don't remember having port forwarding turned on for my (now dead) Linksys router, but I could be mistaken.
    Now I have a different problem. When I go to "copy" a file from my local machine to a remote server, I get a message that says "This task will fail: A console user is not logged in on www/servername/com"
    If I log into that computer first, I am able to copy items, but I remember being able to copy items to my remote servers before without having to first sign into them? Am I mistaken on this or have I uncovered another problem?
    Any help appreciated.

  • Cannot get screen sharing to work long distance...

    I set up an AIM account for my mother-in-law so that I could remote screen-share her MacBook and help her with learning how to use it and trouble shoot it (it's a Late 2008 Aluminum MacBook hand-me-down from my wife).
    I've set up the account, but cannot get remote screen sharing working. Screen sharing works fine over bonjour, but no go over the internet using AIM. I can control my wife's MBA from my iMac and vice-versa, but neither of us can control her MacBook. When we choose "Ask to share users screen...", we get the pop up window stating "Waiting for response from user", along with the spinning gear icon. If she chooses "Share my screen with...", the pop up window appears on our Macs and we're able to choose accept. But then the pop up window switches to "User would like you to share his or her screen" and just sits there. Nothing happens. On her screen, she gets the message "waiting for response from user" and nothing else happens.
    After a long wait, my screen will say, "There was a communication error during your chat. Messages didn't receive a response from..." and gives me the option to report the details to Apple.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Her MacBook is running Mavericks, as are our machines.

    Hi,
    @mac.com and @me.com ID works as AIM Screen Names  (you add them like they are and existing name) but only if you are using Messages 7 or 8 plus later versions of iChat 6 in Lion.
    You should be able to use the Apple Issued IDs in Mavericks.
    If you using an AIM Registered name try using it without the @AIM.com or @AOL.com suffix (User Name only)
    As AIM can "read" the Apple Database it will think the Apple IDs exist already but may not tell you that is the reason you can't re-register them.
    Can you post the info being sent to Apple here ?
    However stop the log after about 10 lines of the Binary Images (I will not need it all).

  • IChat in Leopard no longer include remote sharing or screen sharing?

    They've posted new Leopard features on the site and the iChat AV movie no longer mentions screen sharing or remote sharing (ie. remote desktop) and I don't believe it was mentioned in the keynote. Anyone have any insights on whether this feature is still included?
    I'll be bummed if it's no longer a feature for 10.5

    They took it out of iChat and moved the share desktops into the Finder:

    With shared computers automatically displayed in the sidebar, it’s far easier to find or access files on any computer in your house, whether Mac or PC. All it takes is a click.But here’s where things get really interesting. By clicking on a connected Mac, you can see and control that computer (if authorized, of course) as if you were sitting in front of it. You can even search all the computers in the house to find what you're looking for.

  • Why is very long (about 30 seconds) to connect another distant computer using Screen Sharing under Yosemite ?

    Hello,
    Before Yosemite (under Mavericks and less), it was possible to connect immediately another distant computer (over internet) with Screen Sharing (using Command-K or on Finder Menu-Go and submenu Connect To The Server, and putting the address like vnc://name:password@address
    Under Yosemite, it is possible to do the same things, but it takes about 30 seconds to get connection (is it the evolution of the celerity of the computing ?). And also, I have 2 windows during the waiting of connection : one is with icon of ScreenSharingApplication and 'Connecting to        …com', and the second one is with icon of a BlueHardDiskwith3people and 'Connecting…'.
    Under Yosemite, if I use Chicken of the VNC or JellysFastVNC, the connection is immediately.
    Could you tell me how is it possible to have under Yosemite a quick connection (about 0 to 5 seconds) with a distant computer (over internet) using Screen Sharing (command-K for example) ?
    Thanks.

    William,
    Eventually (after about 30 hours or so) it finished the encryption.  I then forced TM do a backup to the external HDD (after adding a 1GB file to my internal HDD) just to measure how long it would take for TM to run a backup to the external disk -- and it was very fast.  Looks like everything is working fine now. 
    Without your advice that 24+ hours wasn't unreasonable time for a first encryption of a drive that size,  I probably would have kept restarting my iMac and repartioning the external HDD and gone around in circles.
    Thank you very much.

  • IChat - audio, video and screen sharing no longer work

    I use ichat video and screen share to visit with family and assist with computer work. Every since .mac changed to .me, I am no longer able to do anything but text message...... I have changed ports, changed from .mac to .me logins. But still not luck. Nothing has changed with routers. Working with cable modems and DSL..... Looking for help.

    Hi Bob,
    The Screen Sharing through iChat and the Audio only and Video chats do not require the AIM servers other than to say your Buddy is On-line.
    There is feedback from the AIM servers to say what capabilities your Buddies have.
    You can see these if you look at their Info card (Click on a Buddy and use Apple key and i together)
    Now if the Buddy does not show the capability then it may well be the AIM server.
    But..... IF you have turned off (or it has become turned Off) either of the Camera Enabled or Microphone Enabled items in the Video menu (from menu bar) then you will not have the capability and will therefore not see other people.
    One clue will be in the Buddies Menu about whether you can do One Way Video or Audio chats. If it says you can it is the AIM end.

  • Screen sharing and remote management no longer working after some uptime

    Server is withoiut monitor.
    Users need to login via screen sharing from time to time.
    "Enable screen sharing and remote management" is ticked in Server.app everything is working fine (for days, weeks).
    ARD reports "Screen Sharing Available", so remote management is not running how it should.
    Screen Sharing.app is "Connecting…" forever.
    Kickstarting ARD (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370) does not help.
    Restart fixes it.
    Is there a workaround (over ssh) or a fix?

  • Back to my mac screen sharing no longer works since Mountain Lion release, even on Lion

    I've used screen sharing via iCloud and back to my mac between a 2007 macbook and a 2010 imac.  Both computers are still on Lion but screen sharing stopped working when Mountain Lion was released.  I've read a number of comments on this forum that people were having trouble since upgrading to Mountain Lion, but I don't think that's the problem b/c I haven't upgraded either machine.  I think the problem is something Apple did in preparation for the Mountain Lion release date and it seems to have damaged screen sharing functionality.  Anybody else experiencing this or have a fix for it. 
    As for the specifics, I can still see my "other" machine under shared and can click "share screen," it usually searches for a couple minutes, then pops up the password dialogue box, but then searches for a while and eventually the password box closes, "screen sharing" stays open, but there are no windows associated with it.

    I have the same problem, just today (although I'm still running 10.6.8). Every morning I turn on my main Logic mac then fire up my 2 slave macs, connect to them, activate Screen Sharing, and get going.
    This morning I tried it, connected to the other macs as usual (I can see/access/alter their hard drives from my main mac) but when I click "Share Screen" I just get the "connecting" dialog box & it just keeps going.
    The weird thing is, when I put my laptop into the network via wifi, I can screenshare my main mac's screen (all 3 of them, actually!)  but not my 2 slave macs that are ethernet'd to the main mac.
    I've tried every solution I could find via google, and nothing is working.

  • Screen Sharing no longer works for me with Lion

    I use screen sharing all the time, I have several Macs.  Ever since I loaded Lion (on all systems) it opens screen sharing, asks for my username and password and loads the screen; I see the screen(s) for about a second then it prompts me again with my login to gain access.  It repeats this over and over with my login.
    Anybody know what can be done to correct this issue?

    This is an issue I have encountered too. Mac to Mac on Lion its sporadic at best - even when you do get in, you will get a strange jerky beachball on the host computer whilst everything appears to be working fine.
    Windows to Lion its seriously borked, and you can't even click on an account to log in. Its something to do with ZRLE encoding of the session, and the fact its the first multi session VNC attempt. It rejects the connection unless its 101% happy with it.
    Mountain Lion makes this a bit easier...I think they glossed over this in Lion and released a new one instead.
    So whilst its not a solution, more of a workaround - your best bet is to upgrade to ML. By all means try making a freshh account on the host computer that matches the client compuer, and see if that authenticates properly. It should do.
    Cheaper option: turn screen sharing off, use Vine as your VNC server instead (http://www.testplant.com/products/vine/). You can even do multi session if you want to tinker with some settings and read the forums.
    Please mark as solved if this helped you. Thanks!
