Screen sharing stopped working after update to 10.10.2

After updating to 10.10.2, I have the following issues:
1. Screen sharing no longer works between my Mac Pro and my Macbook Pro. Both are running 10.10.2
2. When transferring large files between computers, I get a -36 error about not being able to read or write some of the files.
Any ideas?

Problem solved!
After working with Apple, I have an answer. It looks like the 10.10.2 update changed your firewall settings. Try this:
System Preferences>Security and Privacy>Firewall Options
Scroll down the list till you find "screensharingd". If it's marked as block in coming connections, change it to allow incoming connections.
Be sure to reboot your computer and you should be good to go!

Screen sharing stopped working after last update

Hello all,
I have run software update yesterday, and there were about 10 downloads (I run this weekely, so these must have been new ones). The thing is that after installing all the updates, one of the features that I use more frequently, screen sharing, stopped working properly. I have a Mac Book Pro and an I Mac, both running on Snow Leopard, and screen sharing has always worked just fine, but not after the latest update.
I checked passwords and they are all right, and also checked sharing properties and all seems to be fine. I can share files all right, but for screen sharing now is only possible by setting the option "anyone may request permission to control screen" (under sharing>screen sharing>computer settings) to on, and ask for authorization each time I need to share screens, not good, mainly if you have the computers in different rooms.
Finally, I own an Me account, so I tried sharing screen via Back to my Mac, but it didn't work either.
Can anyone help?
Thanks a lot,
Luis

Earpiece stopped working after updating to 5.0.1.

It worked fine the night before. Then it stopped working after updating to 5.0.1. I can only hear calls on speaker. Did anyone else have this problem. I have tried all the fixes, restart, reboot, restore. No debris in the headphone jack, and when volume is turned up or down it doesn't show headphones on the screen. Nothing covering the earpiece. Tried to blow out headphone jack with compressed air. I'm thinking it is a glitch in the software. Using Iphone 4 on Verizon. Any thoughts or ideas?

Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6, help!

Wifi iPad 3 charger stopped working after updating to iOS 6. The little iPhone charger charges it very very slowly, but the charger gets really hot after a while. I restored it and everything works but the charger. It's only a few months old, should I try a new iPad wall charger block?

Hi,
I did this after reading the forums and it made no difference. it has actually charged from 14% to 67% but thats taken over 12 hours.
Will monitor it and if no joy will go to a apple store
Thanks

HT201371 Touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.

Good morning to all,
My touch ID stopped working after updating to IOS 7.1.
It was working perfectly until the update and then it stopped recognizing my prints
I've reset the phone and deleted my fingerprints and now I can't even add a fingerprint again.
I am sure this is not a hardware problem since the phone was working perfectly before the update and it didn't fall nor anything similar.
Also the sensor is clean as well as my fingers.

Same problem... I think we all should let Apple know of this issue. http://www.apple.com/feedback/ tell them the probelm. So when they get too many complains they will surely fix it ASAP with a software update.

USB hub and internet sharing stop working after sleep

Hi,
I have a relatively new Bluestork USB hub I purchased to connect multiple USB devices I have at the same time. It used to work correctly under Leopard, but now it stops working each time the computer wakes up from sleep. I have to restart the computer for it to start working again. Both link and power LEDs stay on, even when the hub is not recognized.
My second problem is related to internet sharing. It stops working after each sleep/wakeup cycle and the only way to make it work again is to restart the computer. It used to work correctly before Snow Leopard as well.
I have all the Mac updates installed.

Thanks Barry.
The hub is on its way to the manufacturer for after sales service...
But the issue with AirPort remains the same, even after resetting SMC.
Some clarification:
* It happens just after computer wakes up from sleep. Restarting solves the problem and the issue doesn't arise until computer goes standby again.
* The whole WiFi card becomes unresponsive. It is not only the Turn Off button, but the whole functionality is stopped. The card can not be activated/deactivated and it doesn't connect to any network. If it is used for internet sharing, clients are unable to connect.

File sharing and screen sharing stop working suddenly

I have been using file sharing and screen sharing without any issues between my mac mini (10.7 Lion) and MBA (10.8 ML). However, both suddenly stopped working the other day - that is, I saw the mac mini on my MBA's list of Devices, but when I clicked on a drive or on screen sharing, it just said could not connect. I rebooted the computer and they started working again...but a few hours later suddenly stopped. I toggled those options on/off in the Sharing section of Sys Prefs, and they started working fine again...but then stopped again. It seems no matter what I do, file and screen sharing just stop working after a short period of time after being enabled.
Ideas?

Turns out the problem was that I had a daisey-chained ethernet switch. My mac mini was on an ethernet switch that was not visible to my wireless network. Make sure that your ethernet switch is somehow directly connected to whatever is serving as your DHCP server, then your wireless devices should see it.

IChat screen sharing stopped working

Me and my girlfriend have identical Macbook Pros, and we've been utilizing the screen share capability of iChat for about a month and a half now. Today her capability to screen share stopped working. Nothing has changed recently, we haven't changed any system settings (that we know of) my screen share is still an option, but her screen share is greyed out. Screen sharing enabled is checked on her video option so we really have no idea what else to do. Any ideas?

Hi,
She should do a Speed test
http://www.speedtest.net/ (Use the Yellow Star in the main window)
Are the reported speeds near what she pays for ?
(they are typically shown at about 80% of what the ISP claim to supply)
Try cutting the power to the computer, any router and modem then start them up Modem first, then router then Computer, allowing things to be come established at each device and see if things improve.
If that does not work she should delete com.apple.ichat.plist and then restart iChat.

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.

I hate it when updates break things instead of fixing them. Can't Mozilla leave well enough alone? At the very least, each new release should be tested so it works with ALL PREVIOUS extensions!
Wait till you "update" to firefox 4 and EVERYthing breaks, including the buttons that come with it. There is no arrow next to the dropdown button, right clicking the tab bar doesn't bring up the correct menu, but one as though it were the menu bar (which is missing) and the information bar is missing. True, it's fast, but you'll spend weeks getting it to work properly.

If Your Screen Sharing Stops Working, Read This

SCENARIO: I have a network of Macs. On my main machine (a Mac Pro), I have set up bookmarks in Safari that link to the Screen Sharing URLs for other Macs on my network (Mac minis, MacBook Air). For example:
vnc://192.168.1.51
vnc://192.168.1.52
So I can kick off a Screen Sharing session with one of those Macs simply by clicking the appropriate bookmark in Safari.
PROBLEM: Sometimes when I do this, one of two things happens... either the Screen Sharing program launches in the dock but the window for the other Mac does not appear at all, or the Screen Sharing program launches and a small black window (with nothing visible inside) appears. Killing and restarting Screen Sharing does not help, and restarting the remote Mac does not help.
SOLUTION: One way to solve this problem is to restart the Mac where you are attempting to use Screen Sharing. But this is overkill; it works because it incorporates the second, easier solution to the problem:
1. Launch the Activity Monitor program.
2. In the Process Name list, look for "NetAuthAgent". It may show as "Not Responding".
3. Select NetAuthAgent, and then click Quit Process (the red stop sign button at the top of the Activity Monitor window). Then, click Force Quit.
Your Screen Sharing should now work.
It appears that as part of connecting to the remote Mac, your Mac must authenticate itself... and NetAuthAgent is part of this process. If this program freezes, hangs, or locks for any reason, the authentication will not work, and you cannot use Screen Sharing. Killing NetAuthAgent is harmless, as far as I can tell, and it will automatically relaunch the next time it is needed.
For anyone else having problems with Screen Sharing not working correctly, I hope this information helps.

having related problem with NetAuthAgent
"loginwindow" process in activity monitor is Not Responding constantly (through warm and cold reboots)
this causes a number of problems, slow network performance, hangs, no ability to restart/shutdown
killing "NetAuthAgent" is the only way to make "loginwindow" process responsive again
and restores lost functionalities
having this problem across three networked machines (macpro, macbook pro, mac mini) all running 10.5.2
have reapplied the 10.5.2 combo upgrade but no fix. only witnessed this problem since 10.5.2

Why do some apps stop working after update to iOS 6?

I notice one of my apps stopped working after the iOS 6 update, in particular Uno HD, which I paid $5 for. Why did this happen?

I had solved the problem by installing the free app, which seemed to reset something, then I deleted the free app, and the paid version continued to work until the next day. I was going to show one of my friends the game, and then it once again would not open- the same problem was back, as soon as I went to open it, it crashed back to the desktop without opening the game. I had to re-install the free version again, and for a while, neither version would work, but then after a while, it started working again. I guess I have to leave the free app installed or I won't be able to use the paid version of Uno.
EDIT
Just checked again, took the Uno app out of resident memory by double-pushing the home button and holding the app icon til it starts to shake, and then hit the minus symbol, which deletes it out of resident memory.
Went to open it again, and it of course crashed back to the desktop again. So there is some issue with it that is making it unstable.
I have to keep pushing on either one of the app icons continuously until one of them starts, and then the other one will start.
Gameloft needs to do an update.

The inspector stopped working after update

The inspector stopped working after an update. When I click on the inspector button it says "An unexpected error has occured. Please quit and reopen Keynote." Quitting and reopening Keynote does not fix the problem. Inspector does not work in Pages either (it doesn't do anything when I click on it), but it does work in Numbers. I also am having problems opening files created in Numbers before the update.

Hi jeau300!
Here is an article that can give you some tips about using your computer with your external monitor in closed clamshell mode:
Mac notebooks: How to use your computer in closed clamshell (display closed) mode with an external display
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131
How to disconnect your Mac notebook from the display after use:
For best results it is recommend that you put your computer to sleep before disconnecting your display.
Note: Some DVI and Mini DisplayPort displays—including Apple's aluminum-framed DVI displays and the 24-inch and 27-inch LED Cinema Displays—can be unplugged without putting the computer to sleep. If you aren't sure whether your display supports this feature, put your computer to sleep before unplugging the display.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

Yoga 13 touch screen stopped working after update KB3000850, please help!

Hi, my Yoga 13 touch screen has been working fine until yesterday. The laptop came with Windows 8, and last year I upgraded to Windows 8.1 without issue. Yesterday, I installed optional update KB3000850 from Windows Update, and immediately the touch screen stopped working. I have tried the following methods, all without success:
* Uninstall KB3000850 from Windows Update
* Use Windows Restore to restore to the point before yesterday
* Re-install Intel Chipset Driver from Lenovo official driver page
* In Device Manager, uncheck all the "allow system to turn off to save power" options for the USB input devices under Human Interface Devices then restart
* Two-button shutdown and restart
* Install Lenovo Driver Manager and let it check for new drivers
* Download Cando multi touch panel driver (Note: I could not install the driver because all I got was a .cab file which does not allow me to install)
As of now my touch screen is still not working. Computer Information page from Settings shows that there is no touch or pen device for my screen.
Can anybody help me with this? Thanks!

Very true, this has been a known problem since the first day Lenovo released the Yoga 13.
I need to send Lenovo a bill for my time spent rebooting. So far i am on my 8th reboot. In the past, around 5 reboots after winddows update would work. This time... who knows.
Of course it always happens when you have a deadline.
Please post back if you have found a better soultion than system restore.
Thanks for posting this issue. More users need to bring this to Lenovo's attention.
