Screen sharing to one machine fails for short account name

I have an iMac, MacBook and a Mac mini. Screen sharing works between any and all of them except that in the case of the mac mini, the 'short' account name fails. Only when I use the "full name" (and the same password) does it work.
File sharing with the short names works just fine. It is only screen sharing, and only when connecting to that one machine.
***?

You have to forgive me
Fix is hoping for a lot
I'm just offering up something you can do to make you feel better
In all seriousness
It continues to be a pain
We have about five machines and do a lot of screensharing
With every OS update I pray that this gets sorted out

Aleatory One factory fails for the operation "encode"-JPEG

I've a very strange problem with JAI.write using JPEG, but is happening aleatory. Some times it works, some times I get the exception and some other times don't. What I've seen is that when I got first this error, then all the rest of the images throws it. I mean, I'm working OK and then I got the exception, from there, all the images, no matter that they were not trowing exceptions before, now they do, so I don't know what is happening. I'll post some code snippets and the full stack trace of the exception. Hope you can help me:
First, I have a class that is a JSP-Tag:
RenderedOp outputImage = JAI.create("fileload", imgFile.getAbsolutePath());
int widthSize = outputImage.getWidth();
int heightSize = outputImage.getHeight();
try{
    outputImage.dispose();
}catch(Exception e){}
outputImage = null;That's the first thing, now, the second, this is a Servlet that writes the image to the browser (GetImageServlet its name, which appears in the stack trace):
FileSeekableStream fss = new FileSeekableStream(file);
RenderedOp outputImage = JAI.create("stream", fss);
int widthSize = outputImage.getWidth();
int heightSize = outputImage.getHeight();
if ((outputImage.getWidth() > 0) && (outputImage.getHeight() > 0)) {
                    if ((isThumbnail) && ((outputImage.getWidth() > 60) || (outputImage.getHeight() > 60))) {
                         outputImage = ImageManagerJAI.thumbnail(outputImage, 60);
                    } else if (outputRotate != 0) {
                         outputImage = ImageManagerJAI.rotate(outputImage, outputRotate);
                    OutputStream os = resp.getOutputStream();
resp.setContentType("image/jpeg");
     ImageManagerJAI.writeResult(os, outputImage, "JPEG");
                    outputImage.dispose();
                    os.flush();
                    os.close();
outputImage = null;
imgFile = null;The code of ImageManagerJAI.writeResult, which is a method I use above:
public static void writeResult(OutputStream os, RenderedOp image, String type) throws IOException {
          if ("GIF".equals(type)) {
               GifEncoder encoder = new GifEncoder(image.getAsBufferedImage(), os);
               encoder.encode();
          } else {
               JAI.create("encode", image, os, type, null);
     }And the full exception trace is:

This is my first attempt to use JAI. I am getting the following error message. Any ideas why this could happen?
Thanks

I'm not an expert in JAI either, but I noticed you have an OutOfMemoryError at the bottom of your stacktrace. I'd focus on that.
Are you dealing with a large image? Maybe try holding as little of the image in memory as possible. Do you have a small Java heap size? Maybe try increasing the footprint. etc...

Is screen sharing through Messages limited to third-party accounts in Yosemite like it is in Mavericks?

So I was told this by an Apple support member through the online chat, but everything else I've been reading seems contradictory. Every blog post I've read, and even Apple's own website makes it seems like you can screen share on Messages with any contact with an iMessage account (in Mavericks, it was limited to third-party accounts signed into Messages like Google, Jabber, AIM, etc...).
I was able to screen share through the iMessages account if the two computers were on the same network (both on wifi, or both tethered to the same phone), but not if they were on separate networks. Which seems almost next to useless. It'd be nice to just get a breakdown of what's possible with screen sharing through Messages.
So far it seems like:
1. Screen sharing is possible using a third-party account (as per in Mavericks).
2. Screen sharing is possible using an iMessages account only within the same network (added in Yosemite). <- if this is really all that was "added", they really should make that clear, rather than making it seem like iMessage accounts have the same utility as third-party ones.
Just want someone to confirm this. Thanks!

Hi,
Screen Sharing only works with an AIM Account (AOL) or a Jabber ID when the person at the other end is also using the same sort of Account and a Mac with iChat or Messages.
The Bonjour Account which is used for LAN based Mac to Mac Chats can also Screen Share.
The Yahoo account (if you have one) is Text only. It does not even do File Sharing. It does not do Video Chat, Audio Only ones or Screen Sharing.
The iMessages account does not do Video chats (or Audio Only)
What it does do is invoke the FaceTime App.
FaceTime does not Screen Share.
Links to the info you have read would be useful.
The Messages Help info.

Share your screen
You and a friend with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard or later can share a screen, making it easy to collaborate on a project.
When you share a screen, you and your friend can do anything on the shared desktop, such as opening folders, creating documents, and copying files by dragging them from one desktop to another. Messages automatically starts an audio chat.
You can share screens using AIM, Jabber, Google Talk, and Bonjour. You can’t share screens using Yahoo! or iMessage.
Important: When you share your screen, your friend has the same access to your computer that you have. Share your screen only with people you trust, and be careful if you receive a request to share your screen from someone who isn’t in your buddy list. If the request comes from someone using Bonjour, remember that the name shown for the person in Bonjour does not necessarily match the person’s real name.
See the Line above the one where the word "important" is in bold text.
OS X 10.5 is the one with iChat 4.x.x with it.
To be clear:-
iChat 1 was an AIM client but also had the Bonjour account under it's previous name of Rendezvous
iChat 3 added Jabber capabilities
iChat 6 added Yahoo ones. (extremely limited)
Messages brings the Name change and the focus on the iMessages account with the associated window changes.
This means Messages can join 5 "services"
Opening Messages asks you for an Apple ID to register with iMessages.
It also has the Bonjour account present but not turned On.
You can add anything you used in iChat
Some Apple Issued ID are valid AIM Screen Names
GoogleTalk and Facebook Chat IDs works as Jabber IDs
Apple IDs
These can be considered in some ways to be separated into different functions or layers.
The first difference is between external emails and Apple Issued ones that end in @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com (Some people are using a small number of pre Email linked Apple IDs - about 15 years or older accounts.)
The Apple Issued ones can be used as AIM Screen Names.
You can also distinguish between iCloud Linked ones and plain Apple IDs
As Apple changed from MobileMe to iCloud they used and linked @me.com IDs to iCloud as people registered for iCloud.
Later they issued iCloud ending emails (you may have both)
This leaves you with "All iCloud IDs are Apple IDs, but not all Apple IDs are iCloud ID ones".
The short answer is if an Account in Messages can Video within the app (not invoke another app) then it can Screen Share.

Framemaker uses $filename for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen?

Framemaker uses <$filename> for short file name, can we edit this to change appearance? We do not want the short file name of long filename to include the .fm extension can this be removed or modified to make this happen? In compiling our books it would be helpful to not have this extension appear as it then requires us to create extra files without them.

I cannot remove "..." that appear for several account names . .

I cannot remove the quotation marks that appear for several account names in the new message window; eg I want "J. Smith" to read J. Smith. Strange thing is that there are no quote marks in the account name field in preferences. I've tried deleting the name then re entering it. I've also made the prefernces the same as the other names that don't have quote marks but still no success. How do I get rid of these annoying marks? Any help would be great!

Screen sharing and time machine

I have a mini without a monitor. I also have a 17" G4 PowerBook. Both are running Leopard. I use screen sharing to control the mini from the PowerBook.
When I open Time Machine on the mini the screen sharing goes all white... Is this because all the nifty graphics in the Time Machine app are too much for screen sharing to handle?

What screen resolution has your headless machine defaulted to ? Since you can get in via screen sharing, see what it's defaulted to.
Consider that TM probably has a required resolution (like, Workgroup Manager requires 1024x768 minimum).
If you need to have the resolution default to a different setting on reboot, try this that I put together:

It's not my work just easy-to-use packaging of existing software (read the article).
It's Universal and there's a link there for a double-clickable installer.
For those bemoaning their experience jumping ahead with 10.5 server in a production environment:
well, that's your doing. Did you do full pre-testing in a non-production setting and confirm for yourself that it's ready for your needs ?
If you think 10.4.0 was perfect you are living in a fantasy. 10.4 server was a very rocky road til around 10.4.3 and there were still many fixes needed that came with later revisions.
10.3 had plenty of problems (!!) and 10.2 was a beast til 10.2.8 and I don't miss it.

Hyperion 11 Installation-Shared Services registration is failed for Essbase

Hi All,
Today, i was installing Hyperion 11 EPMA system. Here is my scenario:
Installed and configured "Foundation" on one system. Installed "Essbase" products on another system in the same network (Not installed HbNet components). While configuring Essbase products it never asked for Shared Services Server location and hence the essbase products registration with Shared services is failed at the end.
I checked in the services of second system and wonder to see "OpenLDAP" service is running. (I was not able to uncheck "Hyperion Foundation" product options during Essbase product configuration).
I have given the same database schema details used to configure database for the shared services. Am i missing anything. Please help.
Thanks,
Pr

Hi Hohn,
Thanks for your response.
I'm little confused the way to configure EPM products in a distributed environment. Registration of essbase related product with shared services is still failing even mentioned to use "Previously configured shared services database" on Shared services and Registry database page.
From the installation guide: 1. Using the database administration console, change the password of the user account that was used to configure the Shared Services database.
2. Do i need to stop shared services web application and OpenLDAP while configuring "Essbase" products on another system.
Please address the above points and help.Thanks!!

Screen sharing crashes remote machine with two monitors in 10.7.2

Hello,
Whenever i connect to my Mac Pro (running 10.7.2 now), the machine hangs completely if my two monitors are connected. This happens both over the network using Back to my Mac and Slink, when on a local network from my macbook Pro and a friends older iBook. (both running Lion). It also happens from a VNC client (remoter vnc) from my ipad. If i disconnect my second monitor, it works fine in all cases. Is anyone else experience a remote machine crash when trying to screen share?
I can connect to the disks fine. it's just screen sharing
I recently refromatted my machine and it was working fine before then -- but i imagine the problem stems from 10.7.2 since i both reformatted and upgraded.
thanks
dan

Adobe Story Plus's sharing features keep failing for my account

I have been an Adobe Story user since it first launched, when collaboration was included in the free version. Then it split into Adobe Story Free and Adobe Story Plus. Recently, the internship I landed required that I adobt a CC-centric workflow, thus I became a paying member of Adobe Creative Cloud Student Edition (I am studying film at the University of Texas in Austin), with which came Adobe Story Plus. I upgraded the SAME account I have been using for years. Yet, upon upgrade, I lost all of the projects I had been working on in Story Free prior. Moreover, NONE of the sharing features seem to work for me. These features are imperative to my new position and workflow. I have to constantly collaborate with my teammates. If I share a Story project with my team, they all recieve the invitation but it fails when they try to accept. If they try to share something with me, I just never receive the invite, via email, online story.com, the desktop application, or anything. I hope to find a solution ASAP because my internship is kind of riding on this, and thus my career.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Anish,
Can you please mail the Adobe ID which you are using to login to Story to DL-AdobeStory-support<at>adobe<dot>com? It will help us check the account details from the back-end.

Home sharing not working on ipad with different account name but same apple id that was created, what to do?

PC is set up for home sharing and 2 iPads and 1 iPhone is sharing fine. 1 iPad and 1 iPhone is not home sharing. The only difference on the devices not working is that the Apple account name is [email protected] while the Apple ID is [email protected] which is also the Apple ID used in creating Home Sharing and is the account used on the devices that are working. Do they need to be the same? My wife has her own iTunes account. If they are the same how would her purchases be charged to her account? Thank you for any help.

Hi there,
The article below has some more information for troubleshooting Home Sharing that you may find helpful.

Why is the reason you want a different apple id on them? Need more details to make sure we don't accidently set up the self destruct feature and destory the planet.

It seems you have server1 for foundation services and server2 for essbase only.
Try this scenario with the following steps:
1.For server1, Install and configure your database , Install and configure your foundation services.
after your done with server1
2.for server2, Install and configure foundation services. Point your database to server1.
after your done successfully, with no errors.
Proceed to installation and configuration of essbase products.

Screen sharing from one iPad to another

Is there any app that will let someone mirror their iPad onto someone else's iPad?

I am not aware of any app that will do that. The only way you can mirror an iPad is through the Apple TV and that will only mirror it onto a TV or computer screen (if you have an HDMI to DVI converter). Hope this helps!
