Screen Sharing from OS X Lion to OS X 10.6 Server

Hi, I bought a new SSD Drive, so I decided to initialize my previous OS X Lion installation (on August I made an update from SL).
Scenario:
i'm trying to access from my MacBook Pro to the MacMini Server via the Finder built-in "Share screen" button on the right side (the button that appears if I select the server on the shared sidebar).
If I try to access from this button, the connection is extremely slow: 1 or 2 minutes, then the screen appears and everything goes fine.
If I try accessing via vnc (vnc://192.168.xxx.xxx) everything is faster, it connects immediately.
My account on the MacBook Pro is connected to the Mac OS X SL Server by nameoftheserver.local
Maybe an LDAP problem? Or what else... I really don't know how to solve it.
Any type of help is really appreciated.
Tnx in advance.

Why is screen sharing from ML to Lion wacky?

Things are really weird. When I use my MBP retina to control a high-res (1680x1050) MBP (mid-2010), the screen sharing screen doesn't fit properly, and I can't click on the remote system menu. If my MBP retina is connected to a 27" LED Cinema display (as sole display) to control the same high-res MBP, the remote MBP appears small in a corner of the screen sharing window, and I can't click on the remote system menu.
Basically, screen sharing is unusable. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I'm having the same problem.
Macbook Pro: OSX 10.9.1 / Remote Desktop Client 3.7.1 with remote login and screen sharing turned on
Mac Pro: OSX 10.9.1 / Remote Desktop Client 3.7.1 with remote login and screen sharing turned on
I am able to create access via mac pro to laptop and visa versa on the finder level and access all of my files but the screen sharing still will not work. Even when I'm logged in successfully on the finder level, the screen share still does not recognize the password and gives the error: "Authentication failed to "xxxx". Please verify you have entered the correct name and password".
I would expect that if it were a network issue, that I wouldn't be able to connect at all and it wouldn't be denying access based on an "incorrect" user or password.
Wish this could get fixed. I used it quite often prior to the Mavericks install.

Screen sharing from Tiger

Is it possible connect to another mac and gain access to its screen from a mac running tiger? I am trying to connect to my mac laptop that is running Leopard. I can get my laptop to screen share with this tiger computer, but not the other way. any suggestions?

Actually, you don't even need that vine server on your Leopard machine, or on your Tiger machine (I'm a little unclear who is who on your working configuration and who is who on your not-working configuration).
If you want to use your Tiger machine (VNC client) to access the Leopard machine (VNC server), then on the Leopard machine, go to Sys Prefs > Sharing, check the Screen Sharing checkbox, and click on the "Computer settings..." button. In the resulting popup, check the "VNC viewers may control screen with password" checkbox and enter the password that you will require the Tiger client to use to connect with their VNC client program. I assume you are using CotVNC or JollysFastVNC as the VNC client program on your Tiger machine?
Now, if I got the direction backwards, here is what you would do to use your Leopard machine (VNC client) to access the Tiger machine (VNC server): On the Tiger machine, go to Sys Prefs > Sharing and check the Apple Remote Desktop checkbox on the Services panel. I think that would do it.
Now, I, personally, further configure my Tiger machine to allow VNC from other Tigers as well as from Leopard's Screen Sharing program in Leopard, so while I don't think you would have to do the following for Leopard-only clients, if the above isn't working, then try these additional steps:
First, click on the Tiger (VNC server) Firewall tab in Sys Prefs Sharing. Click "New." There is a pulldown menu in the resulting popup where you can choose "VNC." Choose it. It will "quickfill" the port entry information for you. Save those changes and exit.
If that still doesn't do it, then return to Sys Prefs > Sharing > Services panel. With the Apple Remote Desktop service checkboxed and highlighted/selected, click on the "Access Privileges" In the top part of the resulting popup, you can grant access privileges by user; fill out as desired. In the bottom part, check the "VNC viewers may control screen with password" checkbox. IF you were allowing VNC access from other Tigers, use the password that you would want VNC clients to use. I think you probably need something in there if you have to do this last step.
By the way, you know that, in Leopard, you can launch Screen sharing from Finder by doing a ⌘k and typing in "vnc://{name of remote computer goes here}", right? Also, if you haven't already done so, you may find it convenient to drag /System/Library/CoreServices/Screen Sharing.app onto your dock and/or make an alias of it in your Applications folder.

Enable Screen Sharing from command line

I inadvertently removed screen sharing from my mac mini server firewall but I can still ssh into it. How can I enable either screen sharing or remote management via ARD?
Thanks so much,
J.

Sorry for the imperfect instructions, I was doing it from memory.
First, set up secure ssh credentials by doing the public/private RSA key exchange.
Based on someone else's suggestion I found on the web, I created an "alias" command in my .tcshrc file. I just launch a terminal session and use my alias I've created, followed by my ssh credentials on the remote machine, and the alias/script does the rest.
Begin fragmment from my .tcshrc....
echo " myvnc ACCOUNTNAME = connect to ACCOUNTNAME via VNC"
alias myvnc 'ssh -f -L 1202:localhost:5900 \!:1 sleep 10 ; open vnc://localhost:1202'
... End fragment.
So when I want to vnc I just type
$ myvnc [email protected]
In fact, after a while, I got tired of reading all the server logs of people trying to hack my server over port 22 (ssh standard port). Once you have the alias command above working for you, you can pick a different port on your server's firewall, and forward it to port 22 inside the firewall. That way, hackers that scan your port 22 won't get any response.
Once you do this, you can revise the alias in your .tcshrc to also include the "-p" ssh argument, so hep save you the trouble of remembering the ssh port you have moved your server conversation to. For example, it you decided to close port 22 at the firewall, and forward port 2222 (just an arbitrary number I picked) to your server's port 22 inside the fire wall, your alias line would look like this...
alias myvnc 'ssh -p 2222 -f -L 1202:localhost:5900 \!:1 sleep 10 ; open vnc://localhost:1202'

Does Ichat screen sharing work properly with Lion OSX?

Hello, I am planning to install the new OS Lion soon. However, I was wondering if the Ichat screen sharing works properly with Lion. I use the screen sharing quite a lot to communicate with my co-workers, so it's a deal breaker if the app crashes when using the screen sharing option. Thank you!

Hi,
I have not seen a post where it has been reported to be a problem.

Screen Sharing from 10.6 client to 10.5 server looks cruddy

Any idea why Screen Sharing from my 10.5.8 OS X Server (XServe G5) to my 10.6.5 MacBook Air would look like crap (pixellated)?
Here's what it looks like. It also looks like this from my Mac Pro (10.6.5 also).
http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5162/52804708313d6e6373cco.png
It also looks like this in ARD "Observe" or "Control" mode.

Fixed it. Turns out it was the video card (more likely the video card driver). I swapped a new vidcard in there and it's good to go.
This was a cluster node, so it didn't have a stock video card.

Screen sharing from Mtn Lion to Lion?

Currently I'm on a Mountain Lion system and I have a system that is remote which uses Lion, I am able to use Back to My Mac to connect and browse files but Screen Sharing (Lion system on the Mtn Lion system) will never connect.
Should this be expected to work?

Jim, I may have solved the problem. Don't know if it is a permanent fix yet though.
On the Lion computer, on the Sharing Control Panel, I turned on "Remote Management" rather than screen sharing.
When I did this, Screen Sharing was disabled. I then turned off Remote Management and re-activated Screen Sharing.
From this point Share Screen seems to work and I am now able to see the screen from the Lion computer on the Mountain Lion computer.
Throughout the day I have been able to share screen the other way (displaying the Mountain Lion computer's screen on the Lion computer) without any problems.
No idea why this would work, but seems to have done the trick for me!

Screen sharing to OS X Lion Server with non-admin account

I have set up a Lion Server with one admin (in addition to the root user) and several non-admin normal accounts. In Server.app, I have enabled remote login with ssh, and remote management via screen sharing. I am unable to use Screen Sharing to connect to the server from the non-admin accounts, but able to use the admin account. I've read that it is only enabled for admin users, but need to access from non-admin accounts, and I can't add these accounts to the admin group. Is there a way to do this with Workgroup Manager? I tried changing the Remote Management settings in System Preferences by adding the non-admin, but when selecting 'Observe' and 'Control' in the options for the user, they are not saved.

I resolved this issue by deselecting the "Enable screen sharing and remote management" in Server.app and going to System Preferences, Sharing Preferences, Screen Sharing, and allowing access for "All Users". If you have some users you want to allow VNC, you can create a group, add the allowed users to the group, and add the group under "Only these users".

Screen Sharing via iCloud on Lion Freezes at Login Screen

After updating to OSX Lion 10.7.3, screen sharing between two computers via the Internet allows me to connect to the remote computer and see the remote user's login screen, but as soon as I click on a user to login, the screen share image freezes before I can enter the user password.
Using iCloud Back to My Mac because all machines have the same Apple ID & password. Exact same setup worked before the 10.7.3 upgrade, but it could be coincidence.
Details:
Can see the remote computers in my finder,
Can click on them and connect successfully using either the Apple ID or the name and password a user that is allowed under Sharing -> Screen Sharing,
When clicking on "Screen Share," the computers connect and I'm prompted to either "Ask to Share the Display" or "Connect to Virtual Display"Since there really isn't anyone using the computer, I select "Connect to Virtual Display"
After clicking "Connect to Virtual Display" the Screen Sharing window shows the remote computer's login screen, whcih shows the user names, their icons and "Sleep" "Restart" or "Shut Down" on the bottom of the screen. One user has an orange circle with a white checkmark next to it.
Previously, I could click a user's name or icon, enter the password and control the remote Mac. Now, not amount of clicking works.
Have tried disconnecting and reconnecting as different users or using Apple ID without changes in the perofmance. Have restarted both machines.
Any help?

I'm having the same problem screen sharing to a Lion 10.7.3 machine, I get this message.
However, it works just like it used to when I screen share from a 10.7.3 machine to another Mac running 10.6.8.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Screen Sharing - Snow Leopard to Lion

Does anyone know if you can use a Snow Leopard Machine to view the screen (Screen Sharing) of a Lion Machine? By utilizing Screen Sharing could I manipulate the a Lion Machine from a Snow Leopard Machine?
Thanks.

It definitely works the other way; my computer can control my husband's MacBook that's still running Snow Leopard.
I tried to update his MacBook this morinng and got a message that he doesn't have enough memory. Whoops! Had to order some tonight!

Screen Sharing Not Working in Lion

I cannot enter into remote systems via screen sharing since Lion upgrade.
Some basics
remote systems are 10.6 with screen sharing on. (same as last week)
I'm on the same vlan with no restrictions, and yes I can ping them.
I can open screen sharing, and authenticate as the remote's admin user, but it hangs on connection.
I've got 12 Xserves and 50+ MacPros on 10.6 and had / have no issues connecting to those when I'm connecting from 10.6.
I havent yet looked at the logs of the remote units, but I'm guessing this is a solid 10.6 vs 10.7 incompatibility. I'm begining to configure some Lion machines and want to be able to admin those as well as my 10.6 gear, (hopefully from one machine).
ANYONE ELSE WITH THE SAME ISSUE (OR NOT HAVING THIS ISSUE) WITH SIMILAR CONFIG?
T.I.A.

So some more info.
Now that I have a few Lion machines running Lion to Lion screen scharing works fine.
Sorry for the all caps before.
I do like the vitual desktop vs real desktop. In windows the whole virtual desktop does have it's drawbacks. But hey it's only windows.

Automatically accept screen sharing from specific user ???

My mother is a newbie mac user. To be honest, she's a newbie computer user - full stop. She did inherit my PC laptop when I switched, but within a week she had crashed it. The mac she has is still running. (And guess who got it for her. I'm a good daughter.)
Anyway - her G4 Powermac is running Leopard like a dream. In fact it is much faster now than before. Still, she has a few issues. Like the other day, she couldn't get music through her speakers and I'm abroad at the time.
I asked her to accept a screen share, she did. I fixed the speaker issue and closed the screen share. She is happy as larry. But that got me thinking. Is it possible to automatically accept screen share from certain users? That would be a great help if that would be possible.
Thanks in advance.

Musicsites, here is your answer. Just follow the instructions completely and it will work quite well. I have it running and it allows my iMac to automatically answer incoming Screen Sharing requests ONLY from my MacBook.

Screen sharing from computer to Xbox

I was trying to screen share from my coputer to an xbox, but there was some sort of error and it wouldn't let me do it.

Hi,
Receiving screen sharing on XB1 is not yet officially supported, so it may not work as expected.
Could you let me know some details around this:
1. Did you use latest Skype version from www.skype.com on your computer?
2. What was the exact error message you got?
3. Does the issue happen every time you try to share screen with XB1?
Thanks!

How to use Mac *encrypted* screen sharing from iOS

Hello,
I have a Mac Mini running Yosemite Server that I can access from a remote Mac, using Screen Sharing app. I have selected "Encrypt all network data" and this works very well.
Now I'd like to do the same thing from my iPhone or iPad (both are running iOS 8): access my Mini in the same way I already do from the remote Mac. But I want my connection to be as secure. All data must be encrypted between the Mini and my iOS device.
What is the best way to achieve that? What are the best iOS apps? I've tried some VNC apps but they don't seem to manage encrypted sessions. Did I miss a subtle setting, either on my Mini or on the iOS apps?
Any help is truly appreciated.
