Screen sharing not working with eMac lab after 3.2 update

Screen sharing no longer functions after applying the 3.2 update in our eMac labs running 10.4.10 and PPC processors. However, it still functions in our iMac labs running 10.4.10 Intel processors. Before update, I was able to screen share with all the computers in the lab. After the update, I am only able to share with one single computer at a time. Not very useful anymore for teachers to use for demonstrating purposes at our school. It definately had something to do with the update since it was working moments before the update. Please help before I have to call Apple regarding this issue. Again, it only seems to affect screen sharing across PPC eMac computers, not Intel based computers.

Through much testing at our schools, we determined that the problem lies with the update and the admin machine running ARD. If the admin machine is less than a G5 (doesn't matter if it is intel or PPC), ARD will not screen share with multiple computers (more than 3 machines) at a time. If you have a G5 admin machine, you probably will not experience this problem. Apple has yet to contact our district regarding any options for fixing the problem. We are currently in the process of shuffling computers to make sure there is a G5 admin machine in every lab to run ARD. However, I still think Apple needs to recognize this as a problem with their update. Screen sharing is a great tool for teaching class and it is too bad that with the current 3.2 update, it breaks the ability to use it with "older" G4 macs. Hence, that is why your eMac screen sharing is not working anymore. I can only hope for a prompt update to ARD to remedy this situation.

  • Screen Sharing not working with "New" MacBooks

    I have a problem. My friends just got the "New" MacBooks, and I have a white MacBook. I tried Screen Sharing with them, but it just does not work. We get audio for the first few seconds, but we never see the other persons screen. Anyone else have this issue, and if you have a "New" macbook, I would like to see if it would work with yours. My AIM Name for iChat is ckeboss

    Default access info is near the top of this page
    Turn the Firewall Off or to Low as Medium an High have things that interfere with iChat. (Make sure the Stateful Packet Inspection is OFF)
    Check all the tabs across the top and the menus down the side of each page to see if it has UPnP (most likely in Local Network but could be anywhere)
    The pics will show you if it is doing DHCP
    The Airport settings are in Airport Utility and on the Internet iCon screen where it says "Share a Public IP" in the bottom drop down.

  • Video and Screen Sharing not working with new modem

    I give up. Just replaced my old dead Motorola DSL modem with a new Motorola 2210-02 DSL Modem and now iChat video and screen sharing aren't working. I am running 10.5.7, have an Airport Extreme, and 2 computers with cameras (a G5 with an iSight, a Macbook Pro with built in camera) and both worked fine before the modem switch. iChat works, just not video or screen sharing. I have 3 or so friends that I used to be able to video chat with regularly before the modem swap. Spent 3 hours and $50.00 on Apple support with no results. Also talked with my provider (AT&T/Yahoo) and they were no help. Anyone?

  • IPhone 3G does not work with car integration after 2.2 update

    I just upgraded my iPhone 3G with the new 2.2 software update and now it doesn't work with my car integration. Very frustrating... I have a 2009 Honda Civic that has a USB interface. Before the update I was able to charge and play music through the USB interface. In addition, I could also control the music through the stereo. After the update, it says not compatible and it doesn't even charge the phone anymore. Doesn't anyone have the same problem or know how to fix it? Street view is cool but i will definitely revert back to 2.1 if I can't fix this...

    I am having the same problem here After updating to 2.2 the iPhone has stopped working in the car. The stereo just simply refuses to see it. The car in question is a brand new 2009 VW Polo Match, which I know is not as fault as tried it with a iPod nano and worked fine.
    Is reinstalling the firmware only solution to this? Do we know the cause yet?

  • IPhone 5 not working with car USB after iOS8.2 update

    Hi,
    After upgrading my iPhone 5 (32GB, 8.9GB free, model MD299PP/A) to iOS 8.2 (12D508), it doesn't work as usual when connecting to my car's USB port. Before upgrade, I can still see the track names or podcast info in my car stereo display, and can use the navigation controls to select songs. Now, my car stereo display says "iPod NO MUSIC" or "iPod ERROR READING", and can't use the nav controls, although the sound is still coming out of the car speakers.
    The above error is seen on my Toyota Corolla Altis 1.6G, so I tried it in my Ford Fiesta 1.5 Sports. Same problem, the dashboard says that "ERROR READING FILE".
    I then connected my iPad Air (iOS 8.1.3), and it works well with both cars.

    Howdy emoy81,
    It sounds like you upated your iOS device to 8.2 and now you are unable to listen to your iPhone through your car due to this error message. I would recommend usin these troubleshooting steps from the following article:
    Get help using your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with your car stereo
    Troubleshooting tips
    Try these troubleshooting tips.
    Beginning playback and controlling music
    Some car stereos might require that playback be started or controlled from either the device or the stereo. Ensure that your car stereo is set to the proper input for your device. If it is and you cannot hear sound from your car speakers, try switching to your radio and then back to the proper input.
    When using adapters to connect to your car stereo, you might notice variations in audio quality. When possible, use a shorter connection to the car stereo or try a different cable or adapter.Disconnect and restart
    If you are experiencing difficulties with the connection between your stereo and device, disconnect the device, and then power cycle the stereo and your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect your device. If you cannot power cycle the stereo, turn the car off and then back on to allow the stereo to power off.Isolate the issue
    Try to reproduce the issue with an identical or similar accessory, if one is available, or test with a second device.
    For example, if you hear static coming from the left audio channel, try connecting a different device or try connecting to a different stereo or accessory that connects over the same interface (30-pin or Lightning connector, Bluetooth, or headphone jack).Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you have isolated an issue to the device, restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory condition. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue affects only a third-party accessory, contact the accessory manufacturer before restoring your iOS device.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • Really tired of screen sharing not working after upgrade to 10.10

    I have tried everything I can think of but I simply cannot get screen sharing to work any longer when I am not within my home network.
    I NEED this to work.  Anyone else having huge problems getting screen sharing working when away from their home network?
    Anything at all I can try at this point?  Sometimes the share screen button doesnt even show, sometime it does and then says it cant
    come up, sometimes my mac at home doesnt even show up in the Shared sidebar area. 

    I've had lots of issues with my Macs picking up new names eg. 'iMac (2)' instead of 'iMac' which led to sharing issues (screen sharing, AFP etc).  I've set up new DHCP IP reservations on my router (Time Capsule) in the hope it will stop happening.

  • Screen Sharing not working continuously in Mountain Lion

    For some reason, I cannot get Screen Sharing to work continuously. I could not get it to work at all (even though I veried the settings were correct), and after reading some posts here, I rebooted my MacBook Pro and voila! it worked - at least on my home network. However, once I get to work, I can no longer connect.
    Any ideas?

    And how are you trying to connect with your home Mac from work?
    Are you using Apple's iCloud Back-to-My-Mac (BTMM) feature?  It should handle getting through home routers?
    Does you work have a Firewall and proxy servers in place?  They are going to block any attempt at accessing the outside world except via corporate approved networking channels, which frequently do not include Screen Sharing.  If this is the case, I might suggest TeamViewer.com as it has an option for setting a Proxy and if the company has not disabled accessing the TeamViewer.com URL, it might work.
    If no corporate firewall and proxy server, and you are not using BTMM, then do you have a home router?  Did you setup port forwarding for port 5900 from the internet to your home Mac?  <http://portforwarding.com>
    What address are you trying to connect with?  I you have home router you need to use the IP address assigned by your ISP to your home router.  If you do a Google search for "what is my ip address", Google will tell you your Public IP address.  You need this for your home router.
    BTMM and TeamViewer.com avoid the need to know your Public IP, and port forwarding.  Corporate firewalls are a beast of their own, and have to be handled on a case by case basis.  Some will let you get through, some will not.
    If you find you are going to be using the Public IP address of your home router, then you want to get a free dynamic DNS name for you home Mac from No-IP.com or DynDNS.org and then run the dynamic DNS updating utility provided by the dynamic DNS service on your home Mac to keep the dynamic DNS name updated each time your IPS changes your public IP address.

  • Screen sharing not working Lion Server

    I can't connect to my Lion Server from any other Mac. I got it working for a few minutes after the first restart but I can't get it to work now. It's a Mac mini server runnning headless. I've even tried connecting it to a TV for a screen and it looks like everything is still set correctly for screen sharing under remote management. I can connect via the Server Admin app (pretty slim compared to 10.6) and via ssh fine. Services seem to be running OK.
    For the life of me I can't see what the problem is. It worked fine under 10.6.8 before upgrading.

    My Mini is running server headless and it works fine for Remote Desktop.  Are you using ARD or standard Screen Sharing from OSX?  Or a VNC client?
    Take a look at:

    For some notes on how to start the VNC server from the SSH command line.
    But, screen sharing should work for you.

  • Screen Sharing not working on server

    One of the (remote) servers I manage no longer allows me to share it's screen. The error I get says that screen sharing is disabled.
    I attempted to fix it using kickstart, and while kickstart reported no errors, I'm still unable to share the screen.
    For reference, this is the kickstart command I used:
    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/kickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users admin -privs -all -restart -agent -menu
    I've also noticed that there are extra interfaces enabled, that are definitely not there on my other servers. Not sure if it's related, but I thought it was worth pointing out.
    Any ideas?

  • Mouse not working with Boot Camp after 10.5.7 update

    I upgraded to 10.5.7 recently, and now my mouse doesn't work on Boot Camp. It doesn't seem to register, and I can't move the pointer. I tried this with two mice that worked just fine on the Mac OSX side. Any ideas? Has anybody else noticed this?

    I have a new (July 2009) iMac24 and neither the wireless mighty mouse nor keyboard work with Boot Camp XP Home Edition SP3. They install OK with the Bluetooth control panel, but then after five or ten seconds, drop out of the control panel and have to be discovered again. I spent two hours today with a Mac support expert, but no joy. We both gave up. It seems the wireless mouse/keyboard does not work with Boot Camp. If anyone hears of a solution, please let me know.

  • IChat screen sharing not working

    My elderly father just replaced his aging egg-shaped iMac with a Mac Mini. He's always had trouble really understanding UI concepts and I'm constantly having to fix things and show how to do operations repeatedly. Poor eyesight doesn't help, either. I would love to be able to share his screen from my house and avoid the ultimately frustrating experience of trying to explain how to do something over the phone or by email.
    Yet, I can't get screen sharing to work. Yes, I have configured his computer to do so.
    Could the problem be that he has Road Runner's slowest connection rate (something like 768 Kbs) while I have 15 Mbs? He has stubbornly refused to upgrade even to mid-level speed, even though I have offered to pay the difference. Do you think a 2 Mbs rate would allow screen sharing to work?

    Someone else was having trouble with screen sharing and 10.6.4, and used this method to fix it:

  • Does iMessage screen sharing still works with Yosemite ?

    Till maverick, the Screen Sharing feature was perfectly working with AIM or jabber/Gtalk.
    Since Yosemite I can't use anymore the function. It never works.
    Sometimes the sound (audio chat) work but never the screen view.
    Is there anything new in Yosemite to make it working ?

    Hi,
    In Yosemite the AIM and Jabber (Google) Screen Sharing still works.
    However the iMessages account can now Invoke the System Screen Sharing (See System Preferences > Sharing > Screen Sharing that has to be Enabled).
    this works like the Video and Audio Chats in that another App is invoked rather than use the feature already in the app.
    Of course the Contact (rather than Buddy) also needs to have th Screen Sharing is  System Preferences turned On.
    In the Video Menu > Connection Doctor are you getting any info when it fails ?

  • Import via Drag & Drop not working with LR CC (after Update from 5.7)

    I always imported my pictures by just dragging them in the Windows Explorer and dropping them to the Lightroom Gallery tab.
    This does not work with LR CC anymore.
    The longer way via "Import" works fine.
    Any suggestions?

    With Gallery i meant Library, my mistake (wrong translation, i am using the german version).
    What works with your setup doesn't work with mine.
    I attached a screenshot:
    As you can see (cursor) i can't import the file from the file explorer on the right.
    (The file is not already in the catalogue and i am in the library tab grid view mode).
