Screen Share option gone from machines in the sidebar 10.5.7

Regretting installing it now. I use this several times a day. Now I don't get the button to allow me to start a screen share. It was there earlier before I upgraded to 10.5.7. Also all my Mac PCs appear as generic Windoze PCs in the sidebar (hence no Screen Share option). I can still connect to the remote machines by using the Screen Sharing app.
Any thought how I get this back?

Great advice thank you. I came into work this morning. Woke up my 10.5.7 Mac and all was well! I didn't do anything more... Odd. Guess it falls into the category of restart (snooze overnight in this case).
Thanks for taking the time...

I just fired up my 10.5.7 box and did screen sharing both ways to this old 10.5.6 box. No problem.
Sometimes a reboot is all that is necessary.
BTW, stupid screensharing trick #42:
Set up screen sharing on two machines.
From one machine, access the other screen.
Still at the first computer, in the Finder in the second computer, click the computer you are at and click screen sharing. After entering Userid and pasword, get set for a psychedelic ride. The old barber shop thing. Like pointing a camera at the screen.

  • Mac Mini, screen share setup over network out of the box?

    Greetings,
    Is it possible to screen share and setup a new Mac Mini out of the box? Ultimately, I'm trying to figure out if I really need to purchase a separate screen just to setup the machine.
    Thanks,

  • Sync Notes option GONE from iTunes after ML Update?!?

    I upgraded to Mountian Lion
    Now in iTunes, under the 'Info' tab for my iPhone, I can no longer see the 'Sync Notes on this iPhone with Notes on this Computer' option.
    The checkbox & heading has COMPLETELY gone.
    I'm assuming this has something to do with ML now having a native Notes.app but this is of no use to me.
    The bulk of my notes on my iPhone were created before iCloud existed. And so they belong to the account 'On my Phone'. So even when turning on iCloud syncing for notes on the iPhone, these old notes do not transition to iCloud (A well known flaw amoungst many users I've seen on here).
    Does anyone know how else to Sync notes from an iPhone to a Mac running ML?
    Once on the Mac, I can simply turn on iCloud syncing for Notes on the Mac, then drag & drop the Notes from 'On my Mac' to 'iCloud'.
    So has anyone else noticed the Sync notes option dissapear from iTunes after upgrading to ML?

    I did what you just said (drag & drop) and ALL of my notes dissapeared off ALL of my devices AND iCloud!!!.  Fortunately I had backed up my iPhone 4 iOS 6 and still have all my notes in the iTunes backup file.  I restored that file (including my notes) and as soon as phone restarted, it re-synced with the empty iCloud Notes and notes disappeared again from my phone.  This is absolutely REDICULOUS!!!  And I'm still using Lion with latest iTunes update so I still have Sync Notes option in iTunes, BUT IT DOES NOT WORK!!!  Somebody at Apple has been drinking WAY too much.

  • Cookies options gone from Safari Preferences Security

    I have been having weird glitches with Safari for the past few days.  I cleared the cache (several times) and went to dump cookies - and all of the cookies-related options seem to be missing.  In Safari>Preferences>Security, the middle section of the box that includes options for accepting cookies and to view cookies is not there anymore.  In Safari>Reset Safari, the button for Remove Cookies is gone, though the rest of the list appears to be there.
    I clean out cookies semi-regularly, and the options were all there over the weekend.
    Any thoughts?

    We are on Safari 5.1 here, the cookies are in the Privacy pane.
    Overwrite/install Safari here, then apply Software Update under the Apple menu to make sure
    https://www.apple.com/safari/
    Then run ALL the cleaning and maintainance steps of the free OnyX and reboot.
    http://www.titanium.free.fr/
    Then download the free Easy Find and delete all folders called "Macromedia" (it's your Flash cookies etc)
    http://www.devon-technologies.com/files/EasyFind.app.zip
    Reinstall your Flash here to rebuild
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    That shoudl clean you out good
    If you need more cookie and privacy control, you just have to go with Firefox + Adblock Plus, Ghostery, BetterPrivacy, Click&Clean and even NoScript (drag a temporarily allow all button to the toolbar)

  • COMPILATIONS OPTION GONE FROM IPOD CLASSIC

    Hey everyone, I've seen most of your posts and I would like to add myself to that list of people extremely frustrated that this option has been taken off the new iPod classic.
    I just bought a 160GB iPod classic, and own 233 compilation albums, so you guys have a clear idea of how annoying this is.
    I have already sent my concerns to the feedback option as many of you have so hopefully we can get this back soon.
    *APPLE PLEASE BRING THIS BACK ASAP!!* Thanks in advance.

    There's a few posts on here about this. Very very irritating. Especially when you've spent years building a music collection and tagging immaculately only to find the only way round it is to re-tag compilation albums so the artist entry is the same for every track (i.e Various Artists).
    Turning Compilations 'on' doesn't remove compilations artist entrys from the main artist menu, it simply adds compilations to the music menu.
    You'll also notice multiple cover art entrys for a compilation album... i.e 18 track compilation = 18 cover art entrys. Genuis.
    Why on earth dont they get someone to test these things properly before release?

  • FaceTime option gone from my phone

    facetime has disappeared from iPhone in the last 7 days before the last iOS update - have done update and still not there? Help! It's still on my ipad though

    Try a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.
    In Settings do you find FaceTime?  Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout and see if that brings it back to the home screen.

  • 'On this Ipod' option gone from Itunes?

    When I click on ''My Ipod'' in Itunes I can normally click on 'on this Ipod' to see the songs on my ipod, but now I suddenly can't? So I can't add songs or delete songs or see my playlists and I'm going crazy! Please help!?

    Do you have the sidebar showing? If you do then you click on Music under the iPod Under Dvices in the side bar. If you have the Sidebar hidden then you get On this iPod in the the upper right after you click on  the iPod in the upper right.

  • How do I stop a page from collapsing towards the sidebar?

    Suddenly I find the page to the right of the sidebar collapses to the sidebar. When I try to drag it out by grabbing the corner and dragging it to the right when I let go it collapses back again. Viewing in full screen brings it back but then I don't see the bars at the top. I'm failing to do something simple but I don't know what it is.

  • Share option missing from "Videos" Ios8. Cant find home movies only purchased.

    Sharing is on Videos and Music
    Sharing is on iTunes.
    Wanted to show my 6 year old doing ice bucket challenge but Apple tv wouldn't see PC. So I was going to reset family sharing and Apple in its infinite wisdom made it so it turns off the remote capability of the "remote" app on my ios devices when you do that. I'm usually against warning, but you should have one before you actually turn it off from the remote app thus rendering it useless...
    So my PC friends are like "Apple it just works"...
    It did just work before my iphone 6+ and IOS 8..
    NOW I say no problem. Ill show you on the ipad. I go to navigate to the "videos" section and look for "shared".... not there.. only option is Store in the upper left hand corner..
    Awesome...

    Thank you for the help.  i have de authorized that computer, but i was wondering if you could help me some more.
    I went to home share and it said that i still had to many computers authorized.  I personally have not installed that many.  Is there a way that i can look at all of them and choose which one to de authorize?
    thanks

  • Airtunes option gone from iTunes - help

    have used airtunes for years, no problems whatsoever. all of a sudden the drop down option for remote speakers in itunes has gone and i cant get it back...
    - airport has always been set up to join an existing network
    - i reset the airport using a paperclip, then used the setup assistant to redo the settings
    - when i tell it to join existing network and update i can no longer see it in the airport admin utility
    - the lights on the express suggest it has joined the existing network, i.e. if i tun my access point router off then the light on the express flashes amber
    things that recently changed
    - updated to itunes 7.6
    anyone have any suggestions
    jb

    Hi,
    Same problem but waaaaaay more frustrating
    Remote speakers (AirTunes) are missing from iTunes after every reboot now.
    I have tried almost everything I can think of.
    1) The speakers sometimes reappear during repair permissions.
    2) I changed the Dlink DI-624 router channel to 1, the speakers reappeared, but gone again after reboot.
    3) I turned off "look for remote speakers" in iTunes advanced preferences
    and quit iTunes, and turned them back on again and restarted itunes again and the speakers were there, but gone again after reboot.
    etc, etc.
    It seems that these solutions don't work again when I try them the next time.
    The green light is always on the Airport express,
    If the issue was range or dropouts, then I am assuming that it would not stay green
    The airport express cannot be freezing up either because without resetting it, it does sometimes come back with a ton of fiddling.
    If i unplug it and plug it back in the router logs say that it successfully authenticates to the network (WPA) and gets an IP lease. so it seems to be fine from that end of things
    I blame leopard 10.5.2 and itunes 7.6 right now
    sooooooo frustrated right now

  • App to record screen and capture video from camera at the same time?

    For the love of God, why is it 2013 (the age of YouTube and such), and I can't find an app that lets me record my hdv camera (canon hv30) AND the computer screen at the same time? I make piano tutorials on YouTube and my current workflow is so horrendous that I havent even made a video in almost a year. What should take 30 minutes, takes 5 hours. Here is my current shi**y workflow.
    1. I use iMovie Hd to capture hdv camera
    2. I use QuickTime X to capture the screen (i record a virtual keyboard display that lights up the keys I am playing)
    3. I have to use a DAW to record the piano sound and my voice since iMovie hd doesnt have the ability to record audio from a separate source than the camera, for some **** reason. (opening up and setting up all three programs takes about 8 minutes)
    4. I press "record" on all three programs as quickly as possible to make syncing easier. (my videos are about 7 minutes long, so this part takes about 7 minutes)
    5. After I record all 3 things, I export the video from iMovie into a friendlier format to edit in another video editor since iMovie doesmt have the ability to overlay the screencap over another video (****). (25 minutes)
    6. I render the audio I recorded in the DAW into a wave file. (another 10 minutes)
    7. I import the camera footage, the screen cap, and the audio file into the video editing program. (another 5-10 minutes)
    8. I sync the audio and video clips since they were recorded separately (2 minutes)
    9. I do all the edits (add intro, cut unwanted footage etc) (10 minutes)
    10. I re-render the footage into a final video file. (about 30 minutes)
    This is fu*****g ridiculous. There is no ONE program that does everything I need, just diferrent programs that have a feature I need, but is missing another. For example, a program called "screen flow" let's me record the screen, a camera, and an external audio source all at once, but for some frisking reason, it doesmt support "hdv" cameras (basically anything that records HD). Then, there are programs that record HD, but can't record the screen at the same time. This is only an issue since I am on a Mac, since apparently there are countless of programs that can do all the things I need at once (so I don't have to resync, and render things like 3 times each) and many of them are even free (such as xsplit) but they only work in Windows. For the love of God why? It's 2013 for christs sakes. It shoudnt take me 5 hours to make a 7 minute video. If it wasmt for this turn-off, I would have thousands of piano tutorials on yourtube already.
    So my question. Is there an app that fixes my workflow and allows me to do all the things I need in one program? If there isn't such a program, why isn't there one?

    maybe you have outgrown or just need to look at the "pro" applications instead.

  • Finger print Option Gone From Simplepass

    I just replaced the hard drive on my laptop.  After reinstallng the operating system (Windows 8) the finger print scanner was working fine.  It was also working fine before my hard drive crashed.  After upgrading to Windows 8.1 on the new hard drive, Simplepass no longer offers the finger print option.  It only allows me to set a pin for it.  On the old hard drive, I had also upgraded to Windows 8.1 and the finger print scanner was working fine then too.  So not sure why it is no longer working.Thanks 

    HI,
    Try reinstalling your printer drivers and restart your Mac.
    You might also try deleting your printer preference file.
    Go to ~/Library/Preferences. You should have a file like this...
    com.yourprintermanufacturename.plist
    Move that file to the Trash and restart your Mac.
    Also, try disconnecting and reconnecting your printer from your Mac.
