Screen sharing - resizing the window?

Okay, I'm having a "special child" moment.
I'm using screen sharing not with iChat but to work on files and user groups on an XServe running Leopard Server. The problem: The window for Screen Sharing is too small. I'd like to resize it by dragging the lower right-hand corner. However, whenever I go to do so, I can't actually grab the corner because my mouse goes into the shared screen where the corner does not exist to drag. If I move my cursor farther out, I just end up clicking past the window and landing on my desktop or an underlying application.
Am I missing something here?

Hi,
You are using the Finder's go Menu > Go to Server with a VNC:// type connection that invokes the Screen Sharing App ?
Go to the View Menu
Turning Off Scaling may help.
Also Showing Toolbar may help.
I found best results in grabbing the bottom right corner with Scaling Off.
I also Looked at the Preferences and there is an option for Viewing Screen that are larger than yours.

  • How do I resize the window of pages in the new version? It takes up most of my desktop. I would like to make it tall and narrow, which was possible in the old pages, but I cannot seem to do it in the new version.

    I agree it is a very bad and wasteful design especially for users on small laptop screens.
    You can drag it to whatever shape you want from the bottom left corner.
    Click on the paintbrush to make the Format side panel disappear. However you will need to use that side panel for most formatting.

  • Cuatom Forms: Loosing the Vertical scrollbar when resizing the Window

    Hi All
    I have developed a Custom Form. In that there is a Content Canvas and on the top of that I have put a Stacked Canvas so that i can get both the Horizontal and Vertical scrollbars. the form has more than 40 fields to display.
    Folder tool functionality has also been added to the Form.
    The form works absolutely fine and scrollbars too.
    But when I am resizing the window (making the window size bigger or smaller by dragging the window on the Oracle Apps screen), at that time I am loosing the vertical Scrollbar. Other than Vertical scrollbar everything works fine.
    Is there any way (any code) by which the Vertical Scrollbar will not disappear.
    I would really appreciate if any one could guide me on this.
    Thanks
    Madhu

    Madhu,
    Please post your message in the Oracle E-Biz forum. This forum is for Non-EBS Forms development and everyone here may not have EBS Forms development experience.
    That having been said, I encountered this about a year ago. If I remember correctly, we were able to resolve the issue by applying a Forms server patch to the Apps Tech stack. Please check Metalink to verify.

  • Screen sharing -- Mac to Windows

    I have two Windows XP computers and one Ubuntu computer that I want to share screens with my MacPro (OSX 10.5.5).
    I have TightVNC one one of the Windows XP computers and RealVNC on the other. Both computers have Bonjour installed -- for what it's worth.
    My goal is to have all three of my networked computers show up for screen sharing in the Finder's SHARING section.
    I enabled Remote Desktop on the Ubuntu computer and "ta-da" it showed up in the Finder's "Sharing" section to screen share with no other intervention whatsoever.
    I can't figure out how to make the Windows XP computer show up in the Finder's sidebar.
    Note I can use Chicken of the VNC to connect to ALL machines on my network via their static IP addresses. It works fine -- it's just that I think it's very slick and convenient to do it the OSX "way" instead of using the CotVNC client.
    What does it take for the Windows XP computers to advertise their screen sharing capability so they'll show up in the Finder's "Shared" sidebar??

    Actually, the 'dns-sd -R' command only registers a service running on the machine on which you are running the command. Notice how there is no parameter for the remote host's IP.
    To register a service running on another machine, you have to use the proxy command, 'dns-sd -P'.
    The syntax, per the command help, is:
    dns-sd -P <Name> <Type> <Domain> <Port> <Host> <IP> \[<TXT>...\]
    Playing around with it, I've only been able to get it to work as such:
    dns-sd -P label rfb.tcp local. 5900 name.example.com 192.168.1.10
    Strangely enough, I had to pass it both a fully-qualified host name that resolves properly in DNS (or maybe .hosts -- I didn't test that) AND the IP address (even though I'd think if it had one, it wouldn't need the other.) Also, just the host name without the fully-qualified domain didn't work either, even though it resolves fine for ping, etc.
    Alternatively, one could use a program like Rendezvous Proxy.

    I saw the solution here:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=118443
    Good luck!
    The latest flashplugin fixed the problem.  I haven't had a crash since updating a few weeks ago.  I just wanted to update this thread in case anyone is still running the prerelease with this problem.
    The only major problem I have now is that justin.tv's player causes screen flickering for about 30s after going full screen, and I sometimes have to alt+tab to get full screen in focus after enabling it.

  • Resize the window by some other place except corner

    hi,
    Is there any way to resize the window except by corner. like "realplayer10"
    in which when play video we can resize the window by right-bottom of video image this place not corner of that window

    I've chosen not to use the new Photos app, so I can't be of any help with it - I will ask the hosts to move this to the Photos forum where more knowledgeable people hang out.

  • Best Way To Set Up Screen Sharing Over The Internet

    What is the best/simplest way to set up screen sharing over the internet so I can remotely control my Mac at home from my Mac at work? My Mac at work is running 10.5.6, my Mac at home is running 10.4.11.

    simplest
    Get both Macs up to Mac OS X (Leopard). Then use Apple's MobileMe Back-to-my-Mac service.
    Or, use iChat screen sharing along with the iChat free 3rd party Chax add-on which allows selected iChat Buddies to auto-accept an iChat screen sharing request. Free AOL Instant Messaging accounts can be used as the iChat accounts.
    If you do not want to upgrade all systems to Leopard...
    Next would be using the free LogMeIn.com account, or similar service. This will work
    The above avoid needing to figure out how you get through the home routers, and provide encrypted screen sharing sessions.
    After that you need to arrange for router port forwarding. If you want secure connections, then you should arrange to port forward the SSH port 22, then use ssh tunnels for VNC based screen sharing connections. There are GUI based utilities that will help setting up SSH tunnels. Do some searches over at VersionTracker.com or MacUpdates.com

  • Some webpages resize the window but when the window opens in a new tab, the entire firefox browser is resized. How do I stop this from happening?

    This usually happens when the window is resized in order to fit the smaller content/intention for a webpage.
    I would like Firefox to ignore the window resizing (down sizing) commands when opening a window in a new tab and just display the window in full size.

    Go into ''Tools > Options > Content'' and next to where it says ''Enable JavaScript'', click ''Advanced...''' and then untick ''Move or resize existing windows''.
    This is the only way to do it. I believe there is a bug filed to prevent all sites (by default) from resizing the window if there are more tabs open, but I don't think it has been fixed.

  • Entourage crashes when I resize the window

    I am having a variety of problems with Microsoft software crashing on my Macbook. Entourage sometimes crashes when I resize the window. Word also crashes sporadically (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2149785) and I wonder if there is a connection between these two issues - something related to mouse movement or window management. Problems are only with Microsoft software (no surprise). I am running the latest version of Office.

    You should post questions regarding Entourage on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac software, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products

  • When I double-click the tab bar, FF4 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab

    When I double-click the Tab Bar, FF 4.0 just resizes the window but does not open a new tab. It happens when Menu Bar is disabled (not ticked).

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).<br />
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]<br />
    <br />
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.<br />
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.<br />
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")<br />
    Your plugins list shows outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  • Screen sharing and the existing plug-in

    I'm thinking about building a nice e-learning solution but
    screen sharing is essential. Can someone explain to me why it's
    technically impossible to use the screen sharing api like it is
    being used by ConnectNow? I don't mind that my users will have to
    download the plug-in just like the ConnectNow users have to do.
    Given the fact that CoCoMo is a hosted service it should be good
    for the Adobe business and the technology is already
    there...

    Nothing (or almost nothing) is technically impossible :)
    The problem here is the addin has access to the client system
    resources (screen and keyboard) and so for security reason it only
    runs signed applications (and the only application we sign today is
    ConnectNow).
    In order to enable SDK applications to run in the addin we
    should either forego the signing (not an option :) or we get into
    the business of validating and signing developer applications, with
    policies possibly even stricter than Apple AppStore :)
    We have some other ideas on how to offer this functionality
    but right now are just ideas, but we understand that this is a
    feature very appealing to many of you and and it's high in our list
    of most requested features.

  • Recently, whenever a pop window opens with a prompt the window has a tab, so I have to resize the window in order to click on the action "enter" or "save". How can I get rid of this?

    I'm a blogger and I use a web based text editor and when I input photos I have to click on a button that opens a popup where I put in the URL of the photo and have to hit "ok". In the last few weeks the pop up windows now automatically have a tab and I have to expand the window (resize) in order to click "ok". Considering that it only adds the tab AFTER I press paste/ctrl-v is so annoying and time consuming. It never used to do this before - what happened?
    This started around the time I installed stumbleupon toolbar but I'm not sure if they're related. I took the toolbar off my default browser window and it doesn't show up on the popups. But just thought I'd give that info in case it's causing it somehow?
    I don't know how to fix this :(

    You get an alert about resending POST data if you go back to a page that was previously requested from the server by submitting form data via a POST form.<br />
    Firefox can only make sure to get the same page by resending that POST form.<br />
    Firefox doesn't know what that form data means, so Firefox asks for confirmation before resending that form data as such an action can cause you to repeat an action and buy another item or post a message another time.<br />
    A way to prevent that pop-up is not to use the Back button, but to open links from a page that was requested from a server by sending a POST form in a new tab (window) with a middle-click or a Ctrl + left-click.<br />
    Then you can close that tab or window to go back.<br />
