Screen Sharing not remembering Dual Monitor preferences

Before I upgraded my my MBP to Snow Leopard, Screen Sharing would remember to connect to only the primary monitor on my G5. In Snow Leopard, I can't get it to remember it, so it connects to both monitors by defualt each time I use it.
Anyone have suggestions?

I have the same problem with HP8300 Elite CMT
Dual monitor works fine after reinstalling the video drivers.
When I restart the PC the second monitor is not found and the drivers have to be reinstalled.
I have opened a support case
Case ID <4648891774>
Waiting for feedback - if the problem is resolved  - I will post an update

  • Screen Sharing problem with dual monitors in 10.6

    When I'm using Screen Sharing from my Macbook to my iMac with dual displays (10.6.1 on both machines) It works fine when I initially connect, but when I switch to Display 1, it shows me Display 1, but though my cursor moves, I can't click on anything. It won't let me go back to viewing both displays either, and changing from Adaptive to Full Quality or vice-versa makes no difference, as does Scaling. This happens whether I'm on my local network or using Back-to-my-Mac. It was working fine under Leopard, but has been exhibiting this behavior since the 10.6 upgrade.

    This is a very irritating bug. One thing that has worked for me a couple of times (I think a couple of times it also didn't work) is to turn on mirroring. Screen sharing then only shows one monitor, since they are both the same. I'm not sure if the monitors have to have the same resolution for this to work, mine do. The nice thing about this is that before quitting the screen sharing app you can just turn mirroring off again and it will go back to normal. It's easiest to do this by enabling the 'show displays in menu bar' in your displays preferences.

    HDMI Out from laptop to VBGA In on monitor (HDMI to VGA Convertor used to connect with second monitor).
    I have setup multiple monitors and it works fine. However once I do a reboot on the laptop the machine, after reboot only laptop screen is detected and second monitor/external monitor not detected ( it is blank with the External monitor having its backlight on (so its not in standby) but nothing is being sent to it.)
    It looks as if Windows 8.1 is not remembering the extend monitor setup after a reboot.
    I am running the latest drivers from Intel for Windows 8.1 64 bit and Intel 4000 graphics:

  • Display Preferences does not detect dual monitors

    Display Preferences does not detect dual monitors.
    There is no workaround here.
    Only a prompt update from apple will solve this.
    Any level 5 geniuses I welcome your guidance... please prove me otherwise.
    thanks
    --Marconi

    Hi marconi de baloni,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like the computer is not recognizing a second display. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    OS X Yosemite: Connect multiple displays to your Mac
    If a display is not recognized, choose Apple menu > System Preferences on the primary Mac, click Displays, then click Display.
    Open the Display pane for me
    Then click the Detect Displays button.
    You can also try putting your Mac to sleep and then waking it.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Mario

  • Is it possible to connect my 2008 black macbook, to my new 2014 macbook pro retina display screen to make a dual monitor. If this is possible what cables would I need to buy?

    Is it possible to connect my 2008 black macbook, to my new 2014 macbook pro retina display screen to make a dual monitor. If this is possible what cables would I need to buy?

    You can try using Screen Sharing in the Sharing preferences. Or try a third-party utility such as ScreenRecycler.

  • WIndows 7 and Server2008 machines will not remember network discovery preferences, requires setting every start up or wake up.

    hello
    I wondered if anybody here could be so kind as to help me solve this situation
    i have two Windows 7 machines and Server2008 machines will not remember network discovery preferences,
    i am running software on the windows server machine that collects data and serves information to two windows 7 machines, and network discovery is required for this purpose
    these machines are configured in a local stand alone network configured as a workgroup the only other items on network are none PC based equipment that the server happily communicates with and reads data from
    once the network discovery is set for the network the system runs as expected but on every start-up (or wake up) the network discovery is lost and need to be re allowed. this is the case in both windows server 20008 r2 and windows 7
    how do i make these preferences permanent. so that it will restart and re establish communication its self without intervention
    am i missing a setting or if not  is there a way i can script the the selection of preference on each start(/wake)up.
    the final user need to be able to turn system on/restart and use it with out having to have any IT/networking knowledge to get system running.
    thank you for taking the time to read my query

    You can use group policy to enable network discovery so that it is always configured
    1. In the Group Policy editor on a Win7 or Windows Server 2008 R2 computer, open the GPO that you want
    to use in the Group Policy Editor.
    2. Expand "Computer Configuration", "Windows Settings", "Security Settings", "Windows Firewall with Advanced
    Security", and then "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security - {policy you have open}".
    3 Right-click "Inbound Rules", and then click "New Rule".
    4 In the Rule Wizard, on the Rule Type page, select"Predefined", and then select Network Discovery from
    the list.  Click Next.
    5 On the Predefined Rules page, ensure that the check box is on each rule that is part of the Network
    Discovery group, and then click Next.
    6 On the Action page, select "Allow the Connection", and then click Finish.

  • My MacBook Pro Retina's Bluetooth chipset unknown/odd login message on the login screen states Login Window Authentication Login window Name edit text has keyboard focus. In addition, the login screen is not remembering me

    I have been experiencing several issues with my MacBook Pro Retina mid 2012. My MBPR is scheduled to go into the depot. However, I am wondering if anyone may be able to shed light on a few issues as this is the third "official" time my MBPR is going back for service ("one depot" trip; "one authorized" dealer; several in-store visits).
    My Bluetooth is stating that the Bluetooth Chipset is Unknown (0). I also have had Bluetooth Preferences mysteriously change on me. In addition, while Bluetooth is off there are two serial modems turning on. I have turned them off, but they continue to pop up.
    In addition, when I log in, my MBPR is not remembering me and my login name is not appearing on the slate-gray screen. The name and password are blank and the following message appears in the lower left hand corner. "login window authentication login window Name edit text has keyboard focus."  As a side note, I am the only user. The login issue is a recent occurrence as we just totally wiped it again via a Command + R, and I don't believe I have an accessibility setting set to anything that would cause this, but wanted to check.
    Should I be concerned here? Has anyone else had issues like this? I don't want to worry if I don't have to. I have had so many issues over the course of nine months. 5-6 wipes. Airport card replaced and I am about to pull my hair out if my MBPR doesn't come back worldly like clock work this time. I just can't send my days trying to get a $2300 product to work for me any longer. No idea what is wrong with it, but it is driving me insane. Cross your fingers for me and any guidance you have or thoughts would be welcomed. Thank you. EMM

    There are a ton of other warnings. Before I go through this again, can someone tell me if this is normal (all of it -- above too); or if these are symptoms is a keystroke logger or hardware issues? 
    I ask because originally, when my computer went in for diagnostics (more than once), Apple stated the hardware was fine (other than Airport Card -- finally). However, if I've done 5-6 total wipes; created new users; do not have sharing set-up; have not played around in Terminal; and am up-to-date with versions -- and various issues KEEP COMING BACK -- I am left wondering if a keystroke logger would be possible here?!? I thought maybe a faulty logic board, but why would diagnostics be okay, then? Not trying to be hyperbole, just desperate.
    Please help me rule keystroke logger out or at least, tell me so I know, so I can take appropriate action. If you think it could be the logic board with symptoms above, that would be a great too.
    All I want to do is use the computer as intended, but I can't seem to get a real answer, so after nine months -- I am turning to the communities to see if anyone -- anyone at all -- can help. The last thing I can do is have the MBPR come back from the depot and the same thing occur. Any guidance or advice would be so gratefully appreciated.

  • Screen Sharing Not Working

    I have screen sharing turned on and it works fine when I'm in the house in front of the computer on the same network, but when I'm at the office trying to share the screen it is not working. I'm I doing anything wrong?
    I have the Macbook Pro hooked up to my TV (main monitor). I have the computer screen on "never sleep" (computer screen is damaged from motorcycle accident-can't damage any more) and the keyboard lights turns off after 5 seconds of none use.

    I'm leaving my personal MacBook pro at the house and using my office MacBook Pro trying to share the screen. I'm using the assigned vnc://ipaddress to login. What I mean by not working is that I get a message stating that my computer cannot be found. I drive home from the office (I don't do anything to the house computer) and sit in my yard and screen sharing works.
    Most likely when you are in your yard, you are connecting to your home WiFi network and this by definition is the same as being in the living room.
    If I need to configure my home router to port forwarding I'm not sure I know what to do and how to do it.
    Depends on the make and model of router. A Google search for "Port Forward yourroutermake yourroutermodel" will most likely find instructions.
    I'm talking my Mom, who lives in Louisiana, into buying a Mac and I told her I could help in Arkansas by screen sharing. So, is Port Forwarding a default feature on most routers?
    Yes, most routers allow Port Forwarding, however, for your Mom there are other options.
    a) Get 2 Free AOL Instant Messaging (AIM) accounts. Give one to your Mom. Now use iChat and in Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) there is an iChat option where you can ask your Mother to share her screen or she can click a button to export her screen to you.
    b) If your mother is not going to be around when you work on her Mac, you could install an iChat add-on called Chax which has an option to always accept requests for screen sharing. Your Mother would have to be very careful about who she allows in your iChat "Buddy List". This is also an option for your work vs home situation.
    c) Skype has a Mac OS X beta version that includes Screen sharing. You could use this for your Mom. No home router issues.
    d) You can subscribe to Apple's MobileMe service and use the Back-to-My-Mac feature. You must make both your systems and your Mom's Mac part of your account. Is not suppose to have home router issues, but Back-to-My-Mac works best with Airport Extreme or Express routers.
    e) You can use LogMeIn.com for screen sharing. No home router issues. However, LogMeIn.com is not as fast. However, it is fairly reliable and easy to get setup.
    f) You can Port Forward the screen sharing ports in your and your Mom's home router.
    I would like to have control of the mac at home and my Mom's new mac. How screen sharing works when I am at the house is exactly what I need. I see the other MacBook Pro in a window on my MacBook Pro computer and I have full control of the Mac.
    You can get full control, you just need to deal with your home router.
    Also note: Depending on how your Work network is setup, you may nave to deal with corporate firewalls that may not be happy passing your screen sharing requests.
    So do you have a corporate firewall? Do you have to configure a Proxy server in System Preferences -> Network -> Advanced -> Proxy? If you do, then you may have additional hurdles connecting from work to home.
    However, going from your home to your Mom's Mac only needs to deal with Port Forwarding on your Mom's home router.

  • Remote Desktop & Screen Sharing not  working??

    Hello all,
    I am trying to connect to a friends computer via the Finder's Screen Sharing, I enabled the screen sharing preferences under the System Preferences, put the password, etc and had him do the same and I am not able to connect to his system. I'm sure there is something else I have to do in order to get this to work. In the Windows world I had to use the VNC. But, I remeber reading in a Snow Leopard book that this is all that had to be done in order for this to work.
    Best Regards,
    freesparks

    I know I could never get this working between two macs of the same OS (10.5.8) over the internet with the appropriate Sharing settings set up....
    Im guessing both Screen Sharing and Remote Access through iChat DO NOT work anywhere but in a LAN?

  • Screen sharing not working after Remote Desktop 3.2 install

    OK, I think I screwed it up.
    I'm moving to a new iMac running Mountain Lion, and I need to use Remote Desktop.  I own Remote Desktop 3.2 on DVD, so I installed from disk and launched the app.  My plan was to download the latest update to 3.6.x, but I figured I would launch it to enter my license key and then quit and download the update.
    I was given an error that newer components were already installed and clicked the Quit button.  Ugh.  Next I went to Apple's download site and downloaded the newest update but when I ran that installer it told me it could not install on my drive.
    My grand plan has now left me with no Remote Desktop, and the built-in Screen Sharing core service beach balls when I try to connect to a remote client.
    Is there a way to save me from myself?
    Thanks in advance,
    Bill

    Hi Bill,
    You could try removing all the installed components manually and then try again (install, don't open but update right away).
    According to the installer the files are located in:
    /Applications/Remote Desktop.app (that one was hard to find )
    /Library/Application Support/Apple/Remote Desktop/
    /Library/Preferences/com.Apple.ARDAgent.plist
    /Library/Preferences/com.Apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
    /Library/Receipts/
    /Library/Widgets/RemoteDesktop.wdgt
    (not sure if the following files tie into other parts of the OS so removing them may cause issues)
    /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement
    /usr/bin/share/man/man1
    perhaps a permission repair after all parts have been deleted and a restart before trying again.

  • Error Using Screen Sharing (Not iChat)

    I have a PowerBook and a G4 tower, both 10.5.6 and when I am using screen sharing I get an error: "Connection Failed to "********" Please make sure that Screen Sharing (in the Sharing Preferences section of System Preferences) is enabled on the computer you're connecting to...). This worked at one time. Sharing is enabled on both computers, the firewall has been turned off. Still it will not connect. Anyone have any ideas?

    If you see: Apple Remote Desktop in the Services list in the the Sharing pane, select it. Also, you might need to assign permissions.
    Setting permissions for screen sharing
    Use the Sharing pane of System Preferences on the computer you want to share to set up screen sharing accounts and assign permissions to them.
    To set up screen sharing accounts and permissions:
    On the computer you want to control, choose Apple > System Preferences, and then click Sharing.
    Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
    Select “All users” or “Only these users,” depending on who will be allowed to share this computer.
    If you select “Only these users,” click Add + and select Sharing Users, Network Users, or Address Book from the list, and then choose a user. Or click New Person and assign a name and password to create a new sharing user.
    Click Computer Settings and select to allow anyone to request permission to control the screen of this computer, or to allow Virtual Network Computing (VNC) users to access the screen after entering a password.

  • Screen sharing not on same network

    I set up my grandmother's new computer at my house, and since we were on the same network, I was able to use Screen Sharing to access her computer.
    But now that she's back in Chicago, and not on my network, Screen Sharing doesn't seem to allow me to access her computer.  She's got some issues I could easily resolve if I could screen share.  How can I do this now?

    HI,
    iChat or Messages will let you do this is both ends have Screens Names (AIM based) or Jabber IDs.
    In Messages or iChat go to the App menu > Preferences > Accounst and use the plus button at the bottom of ther list to add an Account.
    In the add Account Pane chose either AIM (Includes some Apple IDs) or Jabber (Includes a Google options in the list).
    Google Mail IDs work in the Google choice if you enable "Talk" in the Products at your Google account page (not the web mail login)
    Facebook IDs can also be Jabber IDs if you enable "Chat" at their settings.
    Use the Preferences > General section to Unlink the gathered Buddy lists (By default they are in one list in Messages).
    The window Menu should now display a list of Buddy List accounts that can be displayed.
    (Bonjour if Enabled, Jabber, Google and/or AIM).  There is a Yahoo account but this will not Video or Audio Only chats which in turn means no Screen Sharing.
    Once you have the Buddy list on Show you can add the Buddy name
    (Press the + icon and choose Add Buddy (Or use the Buddies menu > Add Buddy) )
    Having the list separate means you can add the right name to the right Buddy List.
    Check you can Video chat (Screen Sharing needs the same Internet Connection minimum speed.)
    You need to activate Screen Sharing in the Video menu.
    This version is really an Audio Chat with a VNC connection along side
    For this UPnP needs to be the method employed in the router to open ports as the VNC connection is on a random port.
    The System base Screen Sharing  is also a VNC connection.
    It follows more closely to the Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) ports as it too, like iChat/Messages uses the ARD engine.
    However instead on a Finder > Go Menu > Go to Server and typing VNC:// and a local IP or Browsing for a local computer you need the Public IP address of your mother's Modem.
    The modem or router at her end would then need to point that connection to the computer (Port Forwarding).
    The same would need to be done in your router for the return stuff.
    (most routers have the first 1024 ports (or 65535) open but in this case the Screen Sharing app uses ports above this as does iChat/Messages).
    iChat just handles it better once UPnP is enabled.

    3. System Preferences > Sharing and recheck Screen Sharing and File Sharing
    4. Problem solved (for me anyway)

  • Screen Sharing not Working Grey not Black

    Can't seem to find any posts that are helpful with the problem. Was using Screen Sharing with my Inlaws the other night to help them, but now it won't let them share their screen with me.
