Mouse not working on screen shared Mac

Screen sharing from Messages works as expected, except the mouse doesn't appear. I see the mouse on my local mouse but when I mouse over to the remove screen/window, the mouse dissapears. The keyboard works– command-tab, for example works on the remote mac from my mac- but the mouse just isn't visible.
Any ideas?

Hi,
I just did this using Bonjour between a Snow Leopard Computer (iChat 5) and Messages in Mountain Lion (version 7)
I started from the Snow Leopard Computer and Offered to "Share My Screen" from there.
The MacBook Pro (Snow Leopard) Screen cam up on the iMac (Mountion Lion).
I could see the cursor on both Screens as I moved around the pic/screen on my iMac the cursor moved on the MacBook Pro.
I tried bringing my own Screen to the front (no Problems) and then mousing over the reduced MacBook Pro screen. It seems it is isolated from the Cursor (As it should be) at this point and did not appear on the MacBook Pro.
How many physical Screens/Displays does the Buddy have ?
Any chance your cursor is so far off to one side that it is not on the view you can see ?
This might also depend on how the Buddy has any external Screens set up.
Most run them left and right but some have them one above the over.
It may also depend if the display is actually On. I once used a second Display/Monitor/Screen and had it turned Off but System Preferences identified it as being "there" and in an iChat Screen Sharing it distorted the view. Very wide letter boxed pic.

Ichat video not working when screen sharing into iMac in target display

I have my MBP (current model) plugged into my 27" iMac and using it as an external monitor. If I screen share into the running iMac from my MBP, several things aren't working properly. When I try to use iChat video, iChat crashes. Full size images don't show up in iPhoto or Preview. Both of these things do work on the iMac when it is not acting as my display when screen sharing into it. Is there a fix for this? As I would still like to be able to use some functions on my iMac through screen sharing when it is being used as my display for the MBP.

You are on your MBP. You have the iMac in Target Display Mode. You are using the iMac's display with the MBP with TDM. At the same time you are using Screen Sharing on the MBP to access your iMac.
Screen Sharing is never a full size view, it is always a window on the Mac's display with a smaller than full size resolution.
The 27" iMac's iSight is not available to use when the iMac is in Target Display Mode. Neither are its USB or FireWire ports.

Yeah, thats what I meant

Have you tried:
TERM=xterm screen
To launch screen?
I tried that, but it still didn't work. Anymore ideas?

Menu bar translucency not working after screen sharing

I've taken a screen shot of my desktop
http://picasaweb.google.com/victor.a.tran/Mac/photo#5202983242362095218
As you can see the top 1/3 of the menubar is white/light grayish.
This happened only after doing a screen share and I can't get it back to the original Leopard menubar, the only thing I can do to make it look "normal" is to turn off menubar translucency.
Anyone know how I can get the tranlucent menubar back?

All you have to do is create a sub directory on the remote server called junk or whatever, uploade the files there and supply a link. When things are sorted, you can delete the subdirectory.

Back to My Mac - Screen Sharing Mac OS X 10.10 problem

Sense Mac OS X 10.9 great feature Screen Sharing & Back to My Mac does not works any more.
Mac OS X 10.10.1
Russian interface:
We can see remote computers, but can not connect. We get a error.
English interface:
We can not even see remote macs.
If I start up main computer from Mac OS X 10.8 Screen Sharing works fine. Remote macs has Mac OS X 10.8 and 10.9

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.

Windows 8.1 freeze on any hardware scan or changes. USB wireless keyboard mouse not working

Problem : System Freezes frequently on any hardware scan or changes.
Symptom : Wireless Keyboard Mouse not working.
Caused by : VMkbd.sys located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers.
Issue : VMware player or VMware Workstation installed on Windows 8.1 causes compatibility issue leading to system freeze
Soultion : Please follow steps below
Step 1: Start > run > regedit
Step 2: Locate to this registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Step 3: On the left side plane, Right click on the registry {4d36e96b-e325-11ce-BFC1-08002BE10318} and then export it as backup. Just to be safe.
Step 4: Edit the UpperFilters, The value current would be kdbclass vmkbd. Remove the vmkbd. So only value left would be kbdclass.
Step 5: Restart your system and connect your USB wireless reciever. If all is well it will not freeze your windows now.
This worked for me. Hope this works for you. Enjoy..!!

USB Numeric Pad doesn't seem to work in "Screen Sharing" app.

I have a MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. Recently, purchased a new Targus AKP10AP USB Numeric Pad however, it doesn't seem to work in "Screen Sharing" app but seems to work fine in other apps. Screen\ Sharing.app doesn't seem to be able to recognise the numpad. If I connect a regular usb keyboard all seems to work fine - just the numpad doesn't seem to be recognized.

First and foremost, XP SP2 is EOL on security updates. If possible I would strongly recommend Windows 7 instead.
When you install XP, or Windows, fully upgrade first, then add Apple drivers, get it working fine. They say that 15 minutes is enough time to compromise a default XP install, and used as a "honey pot" to test what malware is circulating.
I don't know about McAfee (I guess Google must) but for now or next time, try with just MS Security Essentials, free and gets high marks, it works.
There are probably a lot of things to learn on a daily basis.
But make sure what you install is current and compatible. And have backups and restore points so you can go back to earlier stable system state.
And yes seems like the Windows partition or OS is not functional.

Flash Player 10.3.183.10 will not work in Safari on Mac OS X 10.5.8

Mac OS X 10.5.8
Safari 5.0.6
Flash Player 10.3.183.10
Flash Player10.3.183.10 will not work in Safari on Mac OS x 10.5.8
The instillation says that it is successful, however when using Safari I'm informed I do not have flash player installed. When I check the hard drive, flash player in no where to be found. I have tried all of the troubleshooting from the Adobe website, and I am still stumped. I was able to get the Flash Player to run in firefox 5.0, but not Safari.
Please Help!!!! I have searched the discussion boards for days now in my spare time and have not been able to find an answer.
I am not the most savvy person with computers, what am I missing here??

In my Library/Internet Plug-ins folder I have a file named Flash Player.plugin (it's 22.8 MB however, not 23.9mb) and another named flashplayer.xpt (it's 4 KB however, not856 bytes).
I am unable to open the Plug-Ins menu (the browser pops up but wont load)...is there another way to check for Shockwave Flash?? When I do a search for "Shockwave" on my hard drive I do find a plug-in named "DirectorShockwave.plugin" (76 KB)
Also...The "Open using Rosetta" checkbox was already unchecked

Adobe Illustrator CS6 serial number does not work on my new MAC. It does work on my old MAC.

I have Adobe Illustrator CS6 installed on my new Mac but the serial number does not work.
Do I need to remove the program on the old Mac first?

Thanks for you reply
Then I do not understand why the serial number does not work? I have tried to type it several times.

You can install it on two computers simultaneously, so uninstalling is not needed if it's the only other installation.

Magic mouse not working in mountain lion

magic mouse not working in mountain lion....What can I do?

Have you tried a fresh set of Alkaline Batteries?
Was it ever paired to another divice?

Mouse not working in open applications

Mouse not working properly on menu bar in certain applications: Text Edit, Calendar, Notes. You can hover over the red X but it will not close the application. Also unable to click on a text form and drop the cursor in to edit or copy text. Can open preference box but uanable to navigate because mouse will not click. Have to now use keyboard to open and close most applications. Virus? Setting that got magically turned on? Have powered down, checked batteries, etc.

This is not due to a virus, or any other kind of malware.
First, is this a wired mouse or a Bluetooth mouse? If it's a Bluetooth mouse, try changing the batteries, even if they should be fully charged.
Have you tried a different mouse? If not, try that. Borrow one from a friend or buy a cheap wired mouse and see if that makes a difference.
If the problem affects all mice, try restarting in safe mode. Does the problem happen while in that mode? If not, and if it comes back when you restart normally, then you have some kind of third-party software that is causing the problem. The trick will be figuring out what it is.

Mouse not working when reinstalling OS X with install disk

I am trying to reinstall OS X 10.3 on iMAC G5 after a hard drive crash with the help of the original install disks, but my wireless mouse does not work anymore. Any ideas how I can solve this or go through the installation process with the keyboard alone? I couldn't find a keyboard shortcut to tab from a list in a window to the select button...

How is your mouse not working? Is it dead?
Is the wireless mouse a Mighty Mouse or a 3rd party mouse?
Does you mouse need batteries?
*Just in case it's dirty:*
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302417 How to clean your Mighty Mouse
Take a piece of bright white paper, turn the mouse upside down on it, press down on the ball, and run the mouse quickly in circles over the paper. This will remove all the gunk that's building up on the ball
TIP: To get to the gook inside the scroll nipple use a plastic toothpick.
"Other Options:" Wear latex disposable gloves. A box of same can be purchased from your local Dollar Store or Pharmacy.
Some cell phone leather cases actually fit right over the Mighty Mouse.
Clean/wipe the Mighty Mouse off with a damp cloth/rag prior to going to bed each evening.
Some users have found using the small alcohol pads quite successful. These can be obtained from any drug/pharmacy or Dollar Store.
Only do the following if your warranty has run out:
Cleaning inside and dismantling the Apple Mighty Mouse
If so, then I suggest (if your 1 year warranty is not up and/or you have Apple Care Protecton Plan) you call Apple Tech Support & ask for a replacement.
