Screen sharing with full screen apps in Lion, control problem.

Looking for a cleaner way to accomplish this, perhaps there isn't one but thought I'd ask.
If you screen share with another computer on Lion, and that other computer has an app running full screen on it, what is the best way to get to "the rest" of that computer?
You can't do a 3 finger swipe because that just moves the desktops of your current computer , same with the shortcut keys like f3 and f4.
Yes I know that you could go up to the corner of the full sceen app and take it out of full scrren mode but this seems like a slightly clumsy un-apple solution.

I know this is an older thread, but I need an answer to this as well.  Like the OP said, I have to take my apps out of full screen mode on my target computer, which seems very strange to me.  This makes it very difficult to manuever around using screen share.  Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated.

  • Lion Screen Sharing with Full Screen apps on Remote Lion

    Has anyone figured out how to EASILY work with multiple desktops and full screen apps on the remote mac when Screen Sharing with one Lion mac from another?  All of the standard methods of switching between desktops and full screen apps (swipe, cmd + <arrow>, etc) all take place on the the local Mac, and not the remote one. 
    The only real effective methods I have found so far are using the dock (not elegant with full screen apps), and removing an app from full screen.  Either way, these methods are clumsy and do not compliment the new features that Lion provides. 

    You're not going to believe this.
    Problem was on my buddy's end.  The  slash key "/" was stuck down on her keyboard.
    Sometimes the solution is so far out of normal troubleshooting, you're luck if you ever find it...

  • Auto Accept with Screen Sharing with Yosemite Messages App

    I take care of many of my family and friend's Macs and I'm really excited that screen sharing with 10.10 Yosemite through iMessage. I'm wondering if anyone know of a way to enrol their Macs into auto-accepting me to control the screen without the need for them to accept it. I know there was a way to do this back in the days of iChat.

    Hi,
    In Any Finder window use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears and the navigate to Application Scripts/com.apple.iChat
    Double click the Auto Accept item to open in in the Script Editor (formerly AppleScript Editor)
    You will note the Text section at the top is commented out by being between (* and then the text and then *) the stars and parentheses.
    Later a single line is also commented out with a # symbol
    In iChat the section for Auto Accepting Screen Sharing used to be commentated out  (originally it was not even there)
    You might decide to comment out the other lines leaving just the bits you want.  (or Copy the AppleScript and alter the copy).
    Then you can go to Messages > Preferences > General Section and select the AppleScript as the Messages Received item.
    NOTE
    I have had issue myself with the AppleScripts as they stand  in Yosemite.
    I have tried several of those that are Included and some that I have collected from iChat and all return and error messages about timing out at present.
    Others have reported the same in various Threads here at the Apple Support Communities.
    At present there does not seem to be a work around.

  • Screen sharing in full screen mode

    Hi,
    I didn't find a way to scroll a screen from a remote computer that has an applcaction open in full screen mode.
    This is the issue :
    The remote computer has an open application open in full screen mode (ie Safari)
    My computer is also in full screen mode, so the application "Screen sharing" is open in fill screen mode.
    So when in move the tree fingers on the trackpadd this is moving my windows (on the local computer) not on the remote computer...
    Does some one can help me on this ?
    Many thanks

    If you ever find out how, please post the solution here.

  • Screen Changes With Full Screen Playback Over HDMI

    Any one know if this is the best way to report a flash issue to the development team?
    Home Theater PC connected to a Sony  Bravia Television via HDMI
    Issue is that when the Flash content is played back on full screen, the Television flickers and displays a 'scene changed' anytime the mouse cursor appears or disappears. Happens in IE, Firefox, and Chrome.  This problem began with the latest version of Flash player. 

    I have been trying to get this to work too.
    Seems an obvious void with many of us trying to have both audio and video in a playlist!
    Apple, please make it so visualizer plays while a song is playing but a video will play full screen if it's a music video! Please?

  • Any way to use Screen Sharing in Full Screen mode?

    "Back to my Mac" screen sharing works great for me, but my remote screen is small enough as it is for a windowed VNC session... is there any way to switch to Full Screen in the Screen Sharing application?
    thanks!

    Did you go to the "Screen Sharing" menu and select "Preferences?" I don't see full screen, but there are some view options.

  • 1/4 screen playback with full screen video?

    I apologize if this has been addressed before, a search of the first 50 pages as well as the Search Forum didn't turn up anything on this.
    When attempting to play back full screen video (720x480 or 640x480) the upper left quarter of the window displays that portion of the video, but the other three quadrants are black. I have this on several different XP computers.
    How do I get all four quadrants to display the video in XP, like it works on the Mac?

    Hello, Harmeet Singh. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are the best troubleshooting resources to reference when experiencing this issue.
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    Display has no backlight or dark screen
    Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
    If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.

  • Remote desktop and screen sharing with RMI

    Iam developing an application for screen sharing and remote desktop
    the problem is a performance problem
    in the screen sharing application server screen is captured and the image is sent to all connected clients through rmi connection
    I used JPEGImageEncoder to compress the image and convert it to array of bytes
    then zipped the resulted array using deflater.
    the result is sent through rmi connection
    the performance is so poor
    i tried JMF but the performance is worse
    i am thinking of a way to send the server screen only if it is changed but i don't know how
    anyone could help me to enhance it with acceptable quality for the image
    thanks

    As you said, you need to only send the changes over the line.
    Java can not tell you what has changed, so you need to either write some JNI, or do a check on the current image, with the last image. (this would eat quite a bit of CPU time on the server).
    It might be worth looking at the source for VNC, and other simler products.
    The simpliest solution would be to split the image into blocks of x by y pixels, then do a pixel-by-pixel check on that block, and only send the block if it has changed.
    Next thing to think about is scrapping RMI, and using raw sockets. RMI has a fair sized overhead.
    Zipping a JPEG is unlikely to have any effect. A JPEG is already compressed.
    You might want to look at a lossless compression format, like PNG, as the JPEG will have articles. This might be acceptable. If so, changing the compression ratio of the JPEG might be an option.
    Finally, the bottle neck might be the call to Robot.createScreenCapture. This is not the fastest method.

  • Help:How to publish a Flash with full screen HTML

    Please, guys, be kind enough to teach me how to publish a
    Flash with full screen size in HTML. I have tried to search the
    board, but so far no luck.
    Originally, I want my .SWF to keep changing its background.
    The solution I got was placing colored stage-sized rectangles on
    the bottom layer. Then I don't want the viewers to see the HTML
    area where I cannot seem to control smooth color changes.
    So, after I construct a Flash file with backdrop-color
    changing by the method I mentioned above, how do I publish it with
    full screen mode in HTML, as you can see
    here? Help!
    Thanks in advance, guys.

    Here's an AS2 and a AS3 version I got from David Stiller
    2 small details you have to add 1 in publish settings set Dimensions to percent 100 100
    and in the html set <style>body {margin: 0; padding: 0}</style>
    // AS2
    import flash.display.BitmapData;
    Stage.align = "TL";
    Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
    var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
    function fillBG():Void {
      beginBitmapFill(tile);
      moveTo(0, 0);
      lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
      lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
      lineTo(0, Stage.height);
      lineTo(0, 0);
      endFill();
    fillBG();
    var listener:Object = new Object();
    listener.onResize = fillBG;
    Stage.addListener(listener);
    // AS3
    stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
    stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
    var bmp:Tile = new Tile(50, 50);
    var tile:BitmapData = new BitmapData(50, 50);
    tile.draw(bmp);
    function fillBG(evt:Event = null):void {
      graphics.beginBitmapFill(tile);
      graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
      graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, 0);
      graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
      graphics.lineTo(0, stage.stageHeight);

  • Website with Full Screen Background Images

    I'm trying to create a website with full screen background images (or  possibly, a video) that will crop to the browser window. It's also  important that the image be center-justified. The Die Antwoord site does  pretty much what I'm trying to accomplish. I'd also like to know how  they can use such high resolution images. If I try to use a high res  image, the file size is enormous. Another site that uses similar  technology only with a video is the TV on the Radio site.
    I  am fairly new to Flash so please forgive me if this is a rudimentary question.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for your reply.
    What I'm concerned about is the crispness of my full-page images. Am I right in assuming with a PDF folio, static images won't be as crisp? Is there a way to maintain its sharpness?

  • Need help with full screen slideshow image quality

    I am looking to display some images with full screen slideshow. The images I add are very large, over 5000 wide. When I publish the site some images retain their quality while others lose it and look like crap. Why would this be and how can I fix it. I tried to resize them to the 2560x1707 that muse does, and then add them. This doesn't change the end result of poor quality.

    Go to Assets Panel and locate the image you want to use at original size. Right click the image and chose 'Import Larger Size'.
    See if that helps retain quality for that image, since Muse does not resize/interpolate that image for you.
    Cheers,
