Question about screen share

Hello all
Very happy so far with Leopard (except for not being able to use TM with airport disks!)...anyway, does anyone know why I can connect from a Macbook to a Powerbook and share the screen an so on, but I cannot connect the other way round (Powerbook to Macbook). When I click on the Macbook in the sidebar, I get the connecting dialog and thats it !!
Any help will be much appreciated
Thanks

All sharing services are off by default. Even if it was turned on, someone would have to know the password of one of the user accounts on your computer in order to access it.
I don't think there's a log of screen sharing, but while it's sharing the screen with someone, a screen sharing icon (I believe it actually flashes red to let you know it's there) pops up in your menu bar.
If you have WPA security on your network, there's virtually no chance that someone could've gotten into the network, much less started screen sharing with you.

  • A question about screen updation of T61

    Hi there
    I got a question about screen updation. 
    Currently, my T61's screen is 14.1 XGA TFT 1028x768, and it can't work, thus I am considering to replace it with the better 14.1" SXGA+ LCD SCREEN .
    However, I am a little concerned about the compatiblility problem, hence I just wonder whether the new SXGA+ screen can fit for my current T61 laptop or not?? Thanks a lot for your answers!
    Regards

    you can buy it from IBM parts, and it will then sure to work for your laptop.
    Here is the manual that shows you how and what parts you need:

    P.S. If you have warranty this upgrade will void your remaining laptop warranty, as the LCD is not CRU (customer replaceable unit).

  • Tecra 8200: Question about screen 14.1 replacement

    Hi, my screen only shows the left hand side, a line goes down the middle and the right hand side is blank. If I hold the screen outer tightly on the top left hand side, the whole screen lights up as normal. I have attached a remote screen and this works fine. I have been told this is a screen fault.
    The screen part No is LTM14C438, they are very expensive. I can get a different screen number (LTM14C433), which is a 20 pin toshiba from a TE2000, and I am told it will work.
    Can anyone confirm this, thanks, Allan

    Thanks for reply. I saw a screen on Ebay and asked the question, the reply was that he did not know for sure, however if it was a 20 pin connection and the conection was in the same place, he was sure it would work. I was just trying to confirm. I rang Toshiba, they gave me 3 compatibale Part No's. They then informed me a new screen would be about 284. I am persisting with a remote screen until I find out one way or another. Thanks again. Allan

  • Satellite U200 - questions about screen refresh rate

    Sattellite U200-148 WINXPHOMESP2
    Video adapter Mobile Intel (R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
    Volume of video of memory 128
    Problem Accelerated Graphics Port - it is inaccessible
    Frequency of hertz the screen 60
    Questions
    1) Accelerated Graphics Port - there is enabled if yes that that it is necessary to make that it became accessible.
    2) whether Frequency of hertz with 60 can be raised even up to 75.

    Hi
    I have noticed that on some Toshiba notebooks the screen refresh rate is fixed on 60 Hz.
    The display refresh rate is not important on the notebook screens.
    TFT matrix doesn't have such thing as refresh rate. It doesn't blink.
    TFT like all other LCD screens doesn't have refresh rate parameter, only reaction time.
    Your eyes are safe ;)
    Ps: As far as I know the AGP port is not available.

  • Questions about separated share and encryption

    Hi all,
    i'm playing with a third party nas, trying to backing up multiple mac with timemachine over a network, but
    i'm seeing that all this manufactures have all the same limitation: one shared share for all the timemachine clients,
    that i don't like at all. I also saw some trick to turn around the limitation but... now my questions are:
    1) is time capsule the only network disk around that easily make you able to have different timemachine shares,
    separated eachother for different account?
    2) is anyway time machine able to make an encrypted backup on a network disk, as it do on a local hard drive,
    even if your filevault is turned off?
    thanks in advance, and Merry Christmas!

    Hi Pondini, thanks for your reply.
    Isn't time capsule able to separate each time machine backup in different account?
    From the pink box in the link provided:
    When backing-up over a network, Time Machine makes a separate sparse bundle disk image for each Mac's backups . . .
    That's automatic, for all network backups.  The backups will be separate.  Also as noted there, you may be able to limit the maximum sizes, but that doesn't work on some NAS drives.
    I also saw that even Lion Server has removed this option while SL Server had it.
    I have no experience with either Server product, but it does appear that Lion Server is much less robust (perhaps that's why it's also much less expensive).

  • Question about screen fading to white?

    let me first say that my experience with the apple support staff has been great.
    I took my PB for repair due to a problem with freezing and panic alerts. In addition, sometimes when it freezes, the screen slowly starts fading to white. You can still somewhat see the image (i.e. the background or application), but it's almost as if it's become a "negative" image, just like the negatives you get when you get pictures developed... exept extremely bright white instead of dark brown..
    I hope this makes sence...
    anyway, The first time I took it in, they replaced the harddrive, case (bottom part was warped), and cords/bus something or other connected to the logic board.
    I'm still waiting for them to complete the repair, but the local genius thinks it might be something wrong with the logic board itself..
    I was just wondering if anyone else has seen this problem before...

    Hi Spencer,
    Sounds like it could possibly be a hardware (ie. logicboard or video) issue. Since you've already sent it in for service it's probably best to wait and see what the technician(s) find rather then engage in idle speculation, like I just did. Anyways, good luck.

  • Question about screen protector (ipad2)

    Hi,
    I just applied a screen protector on my iPad 2 and I've noticed that it isn't 100% straight:
    The front camera doesn't sit exactly in the protector's hole.
    Actually, the hole in the protector kind of sits in the center of the camera.
    It doesn't disturb the images, but is it can do harm to the camera in some way?
    Thanks :)

    No it won't harm your iPad, but it might cause picture distortion on the edges of the photos. If your pictures look fine then you are OK.

  • N8: question about screen lock during calling

    I really like my N8 but there's annoying thing. While I'm calling, in the most cases the screen turns on and with my face I press the buttons on it. So I always end my calls unwantedly or turn on the speakers...
    Is there any solution for that? I've not found any settings or software for that yet.

    Sounds like the proximity sensor is faulty on your phone. You should have it checked out at your local Nokia Care point.

  • Question about screen protectors

    Does anyone use the invisibleShield for the iphone?
    I am just wondering if this particular brand is easy to install and how well it protects the iphone.
    It's $20 so it should be worth it. It's avaliable at walmart.com

    i could not get mine to sit right and i spent ages trying. Waste of time for me. Their youtube add makes it look easy but its not. Also there is a new design of cover for the 3g - the old design for 3g was hard to make the corners work and its supposed to be easier with the new 3g design - you need to check you get the right one.
    You must also make sure you do nto spray the phone with the liquid - some guy on youtube siad that this water detector (it goes pink when the phone goes is water and means apple will not replace if something goes wrong) has now gone off cos he sprayed the skin and it got all over the phone
    good luck

  • Question about personal hotspot. I know I can share GSM / 3G but I would like to know if my iPhone is connected to a wifi can I also share that wifi collection, through personal hotspot?

    Question about personal hotspot. I know I can share GSM / 3G but I would like to know if my iPhone is connected to a wifi can I also share that wifi collection, through personal hotspot? And if so can it be through wifi or does it have to be Bluetooth or USB?
    Sounds like an odd question but my phone will connect to BT Openzone so I want to share that with my iPad via personal hotspot. I could use 3G but then it comes off my data allowance and I don't want to have to buy a separate SIM for my iPad if I can avoid it. I can swap my sim from my phone, but that's a pain!
    Thanks
    Luke

    No, unfortunately Personal Hotspot will only use your 3G plan.

    I have an iphone 4s that may have been hacked.  Apple support has suggested that a 3rd party software may have been downloaded allowing screen share.  I need all the info I can get as to how this could have been done and how to fix the problem.

    The only way the iPhone could have been hacked in such a manner, at least by any method currently confirmed, is if the iPhone was jailbroken. Was yours?
