Screen Sharing Problem after Lion Install

Greetings,
After installing Lion on my MacBookPro 17", I am now unable to use screen sharing to access my Mac Mini Server running 10.6.8 server. When I attempt to make the connection, the Screen Sharing application starts, but I never see a desktop of the Mac Mini. In the system.log, I see entries that include:
Screen Sharing[2062]: MVS Codec - bad rectangle size - closing connection
I've tried rebooting both machines and it doesn't make any difference.
I've only been able to find one mention of a similar message from someone trying to use desktop sharing in iChat, but it didn't include a fix.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Dave

Apple appears to have solved the problem for me. :-)
My scenario was a MacBook Pro running Lion attempting to screen share the screen of a Mac Mini Server (My HTPC) running 10.6.8. Apple pushed some updates to the Mac Mini on 10.6.8, including:
Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.1
Safari 5.1
Mac OS X 10.6.8 Supplemental Update 1.0
iTunes 10.4
After these updates, I can once again screen share with the Mac Mini. So, my guess would be something in more likely the Remote Desktop Update or less likely in the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Supplemental Update solved the problem.
Check your Software Update on the machines that you're trying to connect to and see if that solves your problems too.
Thank you Apple!
Dave

My Late 2009 27" iMac i7 wake up problems after LION installed

About 5 or 6X, My iMac has had wake up problems after I installed LION. The screen wakes but the trackpad or mouse are frozen. I have to do a hard shut down (pressing the power button) for system to work correctly. When I power on the Mac, then everything functions. NEVER had this issue with Safari!

Exatly the same problem here with Lion on iMac 27" C2D late 2009.

Graphic problem after Lion installed? Anyone else?

After i installed Lion, ive been having problems with the graphics while playing world of warcraft ? [url=http://bildr.no/view/1020583][img]http://bildr.no/thumb/1020583.jpeg[/img][/url]
Anyone know what to do?
Thanks

i have the same configuration and i've been having issues with Time Machine as well.

My problem started when system preferences was unresponsive and would not force quit. I tryed to restart and got the grey screen, but it never restarted. I closed the lid and now the screen is blank. Has anyone had a similar problem after Lion?

No, as I have yet to be convinced on Lion.
Did a permissions repair help from the install DVD?

No sound in garageband after Lion install.

No sound in garageband after Lion install, can anybody help please?

12 hours ago my midi played through Garageband with no problems. Today it does not play. The Garageband window shows that the keys are being played.
In the moments following I turned on iTunes and all was fine so I burned a disc in my usual factory installed burner, late 2008 iMac, and the message was "no disc burner found". I turned iTunes on and off and same message. Ran Disc Utility and no flags. I am using the Disc Utility that is on my desktop. Is there a hidden Lion disc utility? Nothing worked unless there is a hidden function.
I was able to burn using Toast. This would indicate that the problems is with iTunes 10, OS 10.7.1

Security and privacy system preferences not working after Lion install. What to do?

Security and privacy system preference not working after Lion install. Not sure if it happen with Lion installer or after updating. What to do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.

Screen sharing in Mountain Lion

The apple creen sharing app is no longer working in Mountain Lion. How can i now screen share remotly to nother mac without physically being at that computer to accept it (hence why i cant use iChat)?

I found the problem. I was using an old version of Screen Sharing either from lion or snow leopard which doesnt work on Mountain Lion, you either type vnc://***.***.***.*** in Connect to Server in finder and it will automatically open screen sharing, or you can find the new screen sharing app in System/Libraby/CoreServices.

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

Tie Machine no longer backs up after lion install

After Lion install, Time Machine no longer backs up-will start to back up but freezes after a few kb's-spinning clock will spin 24/7 but backup is stalled

See the green box in #D2 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.

Time Machine not working after Lion install

After Lion install at first Time Machine would not back up-then it did, but backed up the entire HD-now Time Machine will no longer function in trying to retrieve any data from Mail or anything else

After consulting with maker of back up drive (LaCie) I opted to format the drive. Lost some stuff but nothing critical. I then backed up and now all appears to be working, i.e drive is backing up and Time Machine is now functioning.

I can't find iSync after lion install

I can't find iSync after lion install. I try too sync with my N8 Nokia. The program iSync dont appear in program mapp.

It's Apple's software not yours and as shown by it's exclusion on the OS X Lion pages is not part of the new OS. Upgrading to Lion is optional.
It's a trivial matter to copy it back from your Snow Leopard backup, but using it under Lion is not supported at all and WILL stop working sooner or later.
Why would it be sensible for Apple to include software in their new OS that they know will stop working?

IPhoto 8.1.2 Double Library File After Lion Install

Hi, After Lion install I'v got a double iPhoto Library File in iPhoto 8.1.2 whil I have only one library.
Is this normal ? Is there a way to get rid of one of the two files or to combine them ? On other Macs only one file shows up.
See screenshots.
In the Finder only one iPhoto Library appear in the images file.
This is the content of the IPhoto Library package :

That's an issue with the Dock. I would trash the Dock caches. I would post on the Using Mac OS X forum for more on that.

Blue screen of death after fresh install of Win7 onto bootcamp!

So I am currently running:
I had this problem when I installed windows on bootcamp before but was told there was a driver error or it was a bad install on the windows. So I did a fresh install deleted the partition. I re-installed Windows 7 again with a different disk just to be safe. I am getting the exact same problem after I install all the drivers from the Bootcamp driver download. I feel like the problem could be related with the drivers being downloaded from the bootcamp software thats pre-installed on the mac. Any thoughts, any help?!
Thanks,
Ryan

, Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums. The first thing you will want to check is if there are any issues with the hard drive you put in. Run the BIOS diagnostics for the hard drive and the hard ware to make sure there are no issues. HP Notebook PCs - System Diagnostics (F2) And. HP Notebook PCs - Testing a Hard Disk from the BIOS Please let me know how things go. Thanks again for posting and have a great day.

Office not starting after Lion install - PowerPC issues?

I have an Intel MacBook Pro (Intel Core 2 duo)
It was running OK on Snow Leopard.
I had Office (do not remember exactly which version, but recent).
After Lion installing, I cannot open any more any of the Office applications.
This is the message I get
You can't open the application Microsoft Excel because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
What is worse is that not even the Microsoft Autoupdater opens up as well.
I never used a powerpc chip. I am surprised to read in the System Information that this is the setup for Excel

As the last line (above) states, you are using Office 2004, and that will not run on Lion, upgrade to Office 2011 or Open Office or Neo Office or Libre Office.
