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

Hi,
This Motorola is a branded Netopia device (Motorola Own them now)
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?

WD External Hard drive not working with new Macbook Pro

I have recently upgraded to a new Macbook Pro and when connecting a WD 1 TB Passport external hard drive, it doesn't appear on the MBP, but when I connect it to my old Macbook running 10.5.8, it appears normally. Is this a problem with formatting or an issue because it is USB 2.0...
Any help appreciated as I have a lot of data on the hard drive and would like to be able to use it with my new MBP.

I'm on Lion, with similar issues with two WD external HD. But what I found fixed the problem was to:
1. go to the manufacturer's website (in this case Western Digital),
2. locate my external HD, download the download.
For instance, I downloaded the WD Drive Utilities for Mac (for My Passport for Mac USB 3.0):
http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=219&sid=157&lang=en
Install the downloaded app.
3. Plug in external (this part, I think is important) directly into your tower or laptop (as opposed to through a USB multi-plug extender). Possibly this is because you access more power?
[I'm trying to remember in which order everything happened. But I think at this point the external hard drive mounted]
4. Install the software that is found on the external HD (in my case, it was a brand new device, so that had never been installed).
5. Run "WD Drive Utilities" and run diagnostics.
6. Test to see if it holds. Unmount the External HD. Unplug. Replug in and see if it mounts.
Note: I have not yet tested to see if plugging in the external somewhere other than directly into the tower also works. But I think the main problem is getting it to mount the first time and installing the software. That's what I think.

Toneport UX2 not working with new MacBook Pro 10.6.2 Snow Leopard

I do some casual recording using a Line 6 Toneport UX2. Previously i was recording on an older Mac Mini. Recently i upgraded to a new Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)
The new Macbook is not responding at all when i plug in my toneport, all the software for the toneport is installed.
I think the problem is that my toneport is not compatible with an intel Mac. Is this right?
And if it is can i fix this problem with some kind of upgrade for my toneport software(gearbox)?
And if there is no solution can someone recomend a new audio interface for me to get? Under $200.

I use a Toneport UX2 with my intel iMac. I never had the problem you are describing while using Gearbox with GB. However your problem sounds very similar to one I have experienced when I loaded up Line 6 Pod Farm. I discovered that when I start Pod Farm and get the message you mentioned, if I quit Pod Farm then immediately start it again, everything communicates just fine and I'm back in business. I would like to see a fix for this glitch, but for now I just start twice and then get to work.
Give it a try! I am curious to know if you are in the same boat as me.
As a side note, Recently Line 6 offered Pod Farm for no charge to registered owners of a Line 6 interface such as ours. You may want to check it out. It gives you some more options to play with.

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.

Motion not working with new MacBook Pro

I've installed the Production Bundle on a new MacBook Pro 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo. Everything works fine, FCP, DVDSP, Compressor but Motion crashes every time with an error message:
"The problem may have been caused by the Ozone plug-in"
Reinstalled software and still have same error msg.
Any one have similar issue with Motion? Any ideas on how to fix?
Thanks in advance.

It's easier for me to just point you here:

but it's on my site where I also promote my books and training products so I have to provide this disclaimer:

I consolidated all the info I could gather from these forums on this issue because it arises so frequently.

Display not working with new Macbook pro

My son gave me his 1 year old Macbook pro 6 and in connecting it to my Apple cinema display it gets all these horizontal broken red blinking lines across the whole screen. Disconnected and reconnected the new adaptor I bought and it seemed fine till i tried to begin work and the lines retruned.

Hi there shelley99,
The behavior of multiple displays had changed in OS X Mavericks. I would recommend reviewing the information in the article below.

ViewSonic VA912b not working with new MacBook Pro i7

Hi --
I just received my new MBP on Wednesday, along with it I purchased the Griffin Video Display Converter (http://store.apple.com/us/product/TY600VC/A?fnode=MTY1NDA3Ng&mco=MTY4NzA5MDY) so I can use the computer with my ViewSonic VA912b 19" monitor w/ DVI at my desk, and my television w/ HDMI in the living room. I've plugged the monitor into the adapter and nothing is happening after hitting 'Detect Displays' in the Display menu. For the computer I had prior to this (2007 MBP), I had no problems hooking up this monitor and it would automatically find it. I looked through the user's guide and did some searching on the web and I'm finding nothing about this topic...does anyone have any insight into this?
Thanks in advance!
Kristina

Screen Lock not working with new OS

After loading the 4.2 OS on the iPad now the Screen Lock button became the mute button!
Useless to me and lost useful functionality.
Please advise - is there any chance to get back to the Screen Lock function without re-installing the previous OS?
Urgent please!

Rotation lock is now a software function on the taskbar in 4.2 and the button now mutes notifications e.g. so that you can watch videos or listen to music without hearing email notifications etc.
Rotation lock : double-click the home button, slide from the left, and it's the button far right; press home again to exit the taskbar; repeat to switch off rotation lock.

Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro.

LR 5 not working on new Macbook Pro. Have tried 2 CC downloads, 5.6 licensed download and 5.5 licensed download, all result in the same thing. It comes up with basic screen but no panels and gives an error occurred when changing modules. Nothing I've tried seems to help. It also has says "get started with lightroom mobile at top left although it says it is Lr 5.6. Anybody else having problems? Calls to adobe result in no help and have to wait till Monday for some technical support. Surely this should run on a NEW laptop with no other software installed!!!

Install logs were fine. Application installed but wouldn't run properly. Finally got Adobe support and it turns out to be a file permissions error. Had to add both applications and myself as accessors of Lightroom folder under path ~/Library/Adobe/ and set permissions to read & write (was read only for everything but system) and apply to all enclosed folders. Runs fine now. Including this here in case anyone else runs across this issue.

YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO

YOUTUBE NOT WORKING ON NEW MACBOOK PRO
Every time I want to see videos from youtube the video player just says "your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available".
Please help I have everything possible up to date.
Thanks!

It appears as if only some videos on YouTube will play using HTML5 and without Flash. For example, this video plays just fine for me and I do not have flash installed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEWddT44BY
So, unfortunately, you will have to install flash or wait for YouTube to fix their website.
Also, one thing to try: When I had Flash installed and the "ClickToPlugin" Safari extension installed, YouTube would load all the movies in a simple HTML5 format. So no annotations or any other annoying stuff. Might be worth trying. You will have to install flash but, with the "ClickToPlugin" extension, you don't have to use Flash.

Zen Micro Photo not working with new XP SP2 install

Okay so my Zen Micro Photo stopped being recognised on my computer about ten months ago when I upgraded to WMP (for BBC iPlayer - it's compulsory to have it). Anyway I li'ved with this and have now got thoroughly sick of the same songs and nothing new so I have done a fresh install (on a brand new hard dri've) of Windows XP SP2 WMP9 with the sole intention of using this install/hard dri've?for the player. I used the original installation disk and it prompted me to upgrade to WMP0 as I installed everything. There were no errors during the install and I rebooted when prompted to.
When I attach the player it is recognised by the machine (task bar icon and correctly labelled in System > Hardware > Device Manager which reports it to be?working okay) but the Creative media software says "player not attached" when it is. It is not visible on My Computer as a dri've so I STILL have no access to the player. Player screen reports "docked" with a logo and is flashes a charging icon. Driver v5.2.0.0. The player plays fine but hasn't had new music on in almost a year
There is nothing else on the XP install (IE6 and everything - argh!) I did the registry permission tweak thing mentioned?here:?http://support.creative.com/kb/showa....aspx?sid=9287?but it didn't do anything.
Any help greatfully received!

IMessage not working on new Macbook Pro.

iMessage not working on new Macbook Pro. Issue began after I downloaded latest version of Mountain Lion. After every message it says delivered then immediately a red circle with exclamation point says message not delivered. Any ideas?

I can also no longer text on my computer or iPad. Fine on iPhone. Same as you - I can see everything up until a specific day. But I didn't do any kind of update where it should have stopped. And it stopped working on my computer and iPad at the same time.
