Screen sharing performanace differences on MAC and WINDOWS

Hi All
I am having a big issue of screen share latency (working on WINDOWS) which is about to 20 - 30 sec sometime and 10 - 15 sec in general. I was thinking that It could be because of my network limits but when on the same time and in the same network I publish my screen share from MAC, miracle is happening, there is unexpected difference and there is no latency and if there, it is sometimes about 2-3 sec hardly. My maximum users are using WINDOWS and so that I am searching a solution for this latency problem. Please suggest a solution.
Thanks.

Hi Raff,
We have tested it on following combinations on port 443 , sending and receiving.
1. Screen sharing on MAC machine on LAN (Result: Good speed of sharing)
2. Screen sharing on MAC machine on WiFi (Result: Good speed of sharing)
3 Screen sharing on Windows machine on LAN (Result: Too much Latency in receiving)
4 Screen sharing on Windows machine on WiFi (Result: Too much Latency in receiving)
Specially we have noted on windows that after some time , data from windows machine (Any windows machine) screensharing addin process stop sending any significant upstream data(used netlimiter to verify this) , so reciver receives almost nothing or very delayed screen updates.
I tried to figure out using Wireshark , but not sure that which packet to look for which can cause issues.I do not see any dropped packets atleast in packet scan.But packet sending speed decreases after some time on Windows machine.
We use same settings of performance ,Quality ,Fps and Keyframes on Windows and MAC while sharing screen.
What to look in for wireshark.
Your inputs will be very helpfull.

LabVIEW 8.5.1 Student edition - differences between Mac and Windows version?

Hi,
I've just bought the student version of LabVIEW 8.5.1 and am using Mac OS X 10.4.11. What are the biggest differences between the Mac and Windows versions since the box came with a Mac installer CD and a Windows installer DVD?
Cheers
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Looks like you got the LabVIEW Student Edition Software Suite DVD.
It comes with 6 toolkits, and from the product spects, some (or all?) of those are windows only (at least in 8.5), e.g.:
Digital Filter Design Toolkit
Modulation Toolkit
SignalExpress
Since you have 8.5, you are also missing a few basic things that only recevied MAC support in 8.6, such as Mathscript, Control design and Simulation, and Native 3D graphs.

Sharing .itl file between Mac and Windows

How do I share an .itl file located on a NAS between a Windows machine and a Mac? I can do it with two Windows machines, but one I add a Mac, every time I switch platforms the library rebuilds. Onle one machine is accessing the itl file at a time, all the content is on the NAS, and I have 11.0.2.25 on the Mac and 11.0.2.26 on the Windows machine (can't get 11.0.2.25 on the Windows machine.

Right now, I have Verizon DSL that uses a Westell router. It has 4 ethernet ports on the back in addition to the DSL connections. I have a HP Pavilion with Windows XP in the basement, an iMac G3 in my room, and an intel iMac in our living room all connected to the router by ethernet cables. Each computer is able to access the other computer's files. On the intel iMac I have Microsoft Remote Desktop installed so that I can log into the HP in the basement and control it from the iMac. I haven't tried operating this network wirelessly, but I would imagine that it would be possible. One thing that you might want to check is the router's configuration. My router has settings that either allow or block wireless signals. To access my router's settings I type in 192.168.1.1 in Safari or Internet Explorer. Having all 3 computers on the internet at the same time does not slow the speed of the DSL very much.
I hope this information will help.

CS5 differences between mac and windows

Hello all, we just installed CS5 on a new PC and are now comtemplating purchasing a MAC to run CS5 on as well. I was wondering what the differences are and limitations now that they're both on Intel processors.
Our designers are concerned that with out a MAC they won't be able to "if we get any native mac files, we won’t be able to access them—it does happen sometimes"
They mention that some portions of one of our publications are done completely on a MAC.
Any input or justification would be appreciated!

There are no differences to speak of between the applications on the two platforms. The only possible issue would be fonts. Mac Type 1 fonts are not compatible with Windows but almost everything is OpenType today and that's totally crossplatform.

Difference between mac and windows

I'm a beginner user of Adobe Presenter in Japan.
I don't know why the price of this app differs between for Windows($499.00) and for Mac(Video Express:$1.99).
Although I tried using both version(Win and Mac), I confermed no differences in functions, abilities, and so on.
Please tell me the reason why. i think it's unfair.

Hello,

Sharing Internet Connection between Mac and Windows

Hi there!
I have a Windows Desktop and a Macbook 13". Am I able to share the Internet between them?
My Mac has Airport to connect wirelessly. So does my PC, except this Wireless connection always fails. I have re-installed the software and so on, but it still is failing.
What I would like to do is to have my PC connect to my Mac (preferably wirelessly, but I will use an Ethernet cable if I have to!) and then use the Wireless Internet connection. Is this possible, or am I just dreaming?
Help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Difference between Mac and Windows Format

Is there any differences between the two. I have a nano that is windows formatted, but it also works on my mac. Does it really matter which OS you use to format it?

well yes a mac formatted iPod will not work on a PC

Common URL format for sharing file paths between Mac and Windows?

Hi -
I have to integrate several Macs into a Windows environment. We need to be able to copy and paste file paths to share between all machines. Is there a common URL format that can be used between the platforms?
On Windows, I have:
\\server\share\file
On the Mac:
smb://server/share/file
Thank you for your help,
Steve

On Windows you have what is known as a "UNC".
On the Mac, you have a "URL". It starts with the protocol to use "smb" then gives the path to the item using standard conventions.
UNC is Microsoft mainly.
The only way I know for Windows to use a URL is with an application like a web browser or ftp client.
On the Mac, you can use UNCs but they must be modified as follows.
In Terminal:
smbclient \\\\servername\\sharename\\filename -U username
And enter a password if prompted.
Notice that you must double up the slashes. This is due to how UNIX shells treat the backslash.
You will connect to the share, but it will only be in Terminal.

Screen Share Mac and Windows

Hi,
Sometimes I'm asked to help friends and family with stuff on their computers. It would be handy if I could help them remotely but I've yet to find a way to screen share between a mac and windows machine over the internet.
Is it possible?

Sharing your screen with other computer users
You can set up your computer to allow others to view your screen and control your computer. While your screen is shared with another computer, a user of the other computer sees what’s on your screen and can open, move, and close files and windows, open applications, and even restart the computer.
To set up screen sharing:
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences and click Sharing.
Select the Screen Sharing checkbox.
To specify who can share your screen, select one of the following:
All users: Select this if you want to allow any user with a user account on your computer to share your screen.
Only these users: Select this if you want to restrict screen sharing to specific users.
Click Add + at the bottom of the Users list and select a user from Users & Groups (accounts you have set up in Accounts preferences), Network Users (users on your network), or your Address Book. Or click New Person and enter a name and password to create a sharing account. Then select that user from the list and click Select.
Click Computer Settings and set the following options:
Anyone may request permission to control screen: Select this to allow anyone on your network to request to share your screen.
VNC viewers may control screen with password: Select this and enter a password that VNC viewer applications can enter in order to control your screen.
It’s recommended that you not set a password if you only share this computer’s screen using the built-in screen sharing viewer in Mac OS X.
For more information go to your Finder and click Help from the Menu Bar. Type in Screen Sharing in the search field.
I use the same instructions for screen sharing betweeen a Mac running 10.6 to a Mac running 10.5 and a Mac running 10.4, so hopefully the above instructions and links will help.

Can I display EyeTV's live TV over HDMI-out and be able to see my desktop using screen-sharing on a headless mac-mini used as a media-box?

Hi,
I'm thinking of buying a new mac-mini to replace my current one which acts as an iTunes server and records TV programs using eyeTV. I connect using screen-sharing/VNC to be able to do stuff on it (like handbrake etc.)
I have eyeTV with a satelite receiver and I want to change the setup so that:
- the new mac-mini continues to work as an iTunes server (and handbrake workhorse)
- I can use the HDMI output (inc. audio) to show eyeTV's live TV full-screen app
- I can connect using screen-sharing/VNC to the mac-mini and see my normal desktop to be able to maintain it etc. but this is a headless display (no screen is connected to the display-port).
- recorded media I'd play through the appleTV2 still + rentals etc. unless anyone knows if eyeTV software can offer up iTunes content? I don't like the eyeTV recordings in general as it seems very slow to me for access when there are lots of recordings and wouldn't be available in other apleTVs in the house AFAIK.
The main benefit that this gives me is that I'd no longer need a seperate satelite box to watch live TV and can add more eyeTV hardware to get additional TV channels all through the same HUD on the TV for ease of access.
Does this seem possible in theory & practice (ie are there any gotcha's to consider?)
- can I force the HDMI output resolution to 1080i as I go via an amp to the TV and the appleTV2 drops to low-res in this configuration so I have had to find a workaround for that.
- does the mac-mini have IR input that can be programmed?
- Does eyeTV software remain stable for long periods?
- Does the HDMI out have any handshake issues that would need a reset of the display (somehow)?
thanks in advance for any thoughts/contributions
Lee

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Sharing files between mac and windows

Hello, I have recently purchased a new mac computer and I would like to transfer files from my old windows computer onto this new one and vice versa. I have tried using an external hard drive to do this, but I found that it can only be formatted to one OS at one time. Does anybody have any ideas of how I can accomplish this? Thank you so much for your help everyone!

I'm not clear as to the current format of the drive. Since you say it is working with MacDrive I am assuming it is currently NTFS. You also say this is for a "new computer" so is this really a Leopard OS computer, making this a Leopard OS question? There's differences in the capabilities of the different systems.
As for MacDrive, if it works and it's the only program then you'll have to pay for it. I'd say if you're just using it this once for this one application you could probably buy a used drive for $50 to allow you to clear some files off the one you want to use and reformat it. Drives formatted to FAT32 can hold files up to 4GB in size and work with both Mac and Windows. Unless this is for video I don't see a severe restriction to reformatting to FAT32 and using that.

Best external hard drive format for use with mac and windows?

This is more of an apple operating system combined with windows operating system question, but being that my OS will upgrade an fluctuate there is not option to choose in the operating system section.
Anyways to the question(s)
This whole prbolem came about when my computer started having issues, I want to back it up and whether I can continue to use my laptop or not I will still be owning an apple in the future. I went to buy a hard for back up and got told that it is not as easy as one would think to transfer files from mac OS to windows OS and vice versa. I have a mac, my boyfriend has a windows computer; we share files. Mostly I just copy his files, but once in a while I give him files too. I have read up and talked to people and only found one solution so far to format the external drive to fat 32 or exfat. I think only mac has the exfat option, but works well between both OSs, correct me if I am wrong.
What is the difference between fat 32 and exfat?
A user posted some good info about formatting. More specifically .Drives, partitions, formatting w/Mac's + PC's
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3044
If I do not want to use fat32 or exfat is there a format type that works great for mac saving that I can still at least save files to that were originally on a windows computer? Such as I copy his files from his external drive to my computer and then save them to my external drive.
Is there a better format for file sharing between mac and windows that does not set a 4GB limit?
And a silly question, Can you dual format a hard drive?
Note: This format is for an external hard drive.

I still do not know which format would be the best. That is so that I can use it easily between mac OSX and windows. Is FAT32 the only true option? How limited is it? I heard it is limited to 4GB file size for windows and 32 GB for Mac. Are there other sources I have not found with more concrete information on the limitations of this format?
I really do still need this information and I need to back up my drive before I can take the computer in for service.

What format for my external drive allows use with Mac and Windows?

I got an external hard disk (1 tr) and i want to used it for my windows and mac, i read i can have two partitions one for mac and one for windows, but i dont really want to have two parts, and I read i can format it by fat32 and i can write and read on both os, is that true?
I want to use it for movies, os backups, and files..
Is it true that i can only save files up to 4 GB when the format is fat32?
please advise..

It this case you would need to to go to "Disk Utility" on mac and select 3 partions which will be under the Parition Layout in my screen shot below. "Current" is grayed out that will drop down select 3 partitions and make one NTFS, second Mac OS Extended, third FAT32. Using the FAT32 for both Mac and Windows but the files have to be under 4GB each.

Mac and Windows on same iTunes Library? NAS?

I moved my mac iTunes library to a NAS, hoping that all machines in the house (Mac and Windows) could access and update the library (but not at the same time because of file locking). So I moved the .itl and .xml files over to the NAS as well but some machines can only see parts of the library.
Is this not a supported configuration? How could I set up such a sharing library with update capability? Thanks in advance.

You don't need any software installed on the windows PC. Just plug it into the Ethernet port on the router to the Ethernet port on the NIC card. If you want the Fios software installed go to activatemyfios.verizon.net and click configure another computer and enter your fios user name and password. If you are having connection problems go to verizon.com/connectionwizard and install that software.
