Screen sharing worked and not working

i have set up both my computers for screen sharing and have accessed my macbook pro 17" (snow leopard- up to date)  for months on my macbook pro 15" (lion- up to date)- it worked....
THEN, when i went in reverse- mb17" accessing my mb15"- it worked...
BUT NOW... neither can access eachother's screen remotely! haven't changed anything, but get the message that i need to 'check the screen sharing is enabled, that my network is working', OR i get the endless 'connecting to mb17"' window that never connects- on both computers!
HOWEVER- both computers can access files remotely... just not the screen
what to do? like i said, IT WORKED until my mp17" accessed my mb15" and neither works... like it cancelled eachother out!
any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Since the earlier post I have managed to Screen Share.
I did put the Mac Firewall On.
It was then as simple as using the item in the iChat Buddies menu (The option to allow sharing has to be On in the Video menu)
It replaced the Video I was having and does not go back to the Video when the Keystroke of Control+ESC is used and the Video chat has to be re-established.
I do not have Encryption.

  • Screen Sharing in iChat not working

    iChat under Leopard seems to work fine, I got everything running including video chats and theatre but screen sharing (which works via Finder locally without problem) does not work. I cannot get to see any screen of my iChat partner while he gets a inital 'screenshot' which is not updating, nothing else.
    It cannot be a firewall issue as both Macs have been moved to the firewall DMZ and Leopard Firewall is off.
    Any ideas?

  • Screen sharing in yosemite not working

    I cannot use screen sharing in messages with Yosemite. The screen sharing icon is light blue.

    Do you get an error?
    I've never done it, so be sure to follow the guide below for double-checking nothing was missed in setting up the connection.

    If the way in Messages doesn't work, I can recommend Teamviewer as an alternative.

  • Forms: working and not working. A serendipity question?

    Designed a 4 pp form monthly report.
    (Extended features in Adobe Reader are already applied)
    Eight persons will fill it in order to sent to specific clients who only will read it
    But only two say it works. And told that sometimes the information could no be saved...
    Doing this in Pc and Mac.
    At the same time other people (in our office and some friends) said it worked...
    How to detect the problem?
    They updated Acrobat Reader version 8.
    Does the end user need to hace Reader 8?
    Is necessary to save the form in some way before sending it to the end user?
    (Some body in this forum proposed as a solution to print as PDF. What does it mean?)
    Perhaps do they need Reader extensions?
    Of course, they want to come back to MWord, losing the time invested in the form... and losing the advantages offered by Acrobat.
    Thank you.

    First step should be to compare the environments of the users, starting with:
    - Operting System (Windows/Mac), and version (XP,Vista, Windows 7, etc.)
    - Reader version (also making sure they're actually using Adobe Reader, and not some 3rd-party application, like Preview on Mac)

  • Multiclip working and not working at the same time... not making edits

    I sync'd and loaded my muliclips and it started off just fine, then i had to pause it while for a second, then i went back to it and it looked like it was running fine it was putting the blue marks in the timeline and my record monitor was switching fine. when i finished i clicked on the timeline and it didnt make the edits after i paused it. So the first half worked and the second half didnt, the blue marker points are still there. what could i have done wrong and is there anyway to put those edits in without redoing the whole clip over again?

    Have you loaded the multiclip button bars?...Tools/Button Bars/Multiclip.
    Exactly how are you working the multiclip...Buttons?, clicking in the viewer?
    It sounds like you are 'switching' the shots and not 'cutting' them. If this is the case, then you'll need to re-edit the cuts you thought you were making.
    As a general rule, I'll only go several 'cuts' at a time, then stop the playhead, let them activate, then carry on. The more cuts you do without stopping, the more you will lose, if you decide you want to make changes.

  • Proxy settings working and not working

    Hi all,
    I use a Mac Mini to develop within a proxy-controlled network. It's a Windows domain, btw. I have my user and password correctly set in System Preferences, and I use Safari to surf the web.
    Well, the strange thing is that sometimes I can surf, sometimes not. Sometimes I'm answering in a forum and my answer gets lost... So I've asked the admin here to check the proxy requests of my Mini: he says that many requests arrive with NO AUTHENTICATION, anonymous.
    Is this occurring to some other of you?
    I suppose there is a bug in proxy settings management in 10.8.2.
    Message was edited by: Bugfixer

    I have noticed, that I had to change proxy server name to IP address and then Safari and AppStore started working.
    Unfortunately any other application still doesn't work
    It looks like after upgrade to Yosemite there is a quite big issue with use of proxy settings

  • Screen Sharing in iChat stopped working

    To begin with, I have iChat 4.0.3 but I do not see any categories for that version.
    The screen sharing feature in iChat was a really great tool that allowed me assist my family from remote locations to help them trouble shoot issues on their Macs. This feature mysteriously stopped working after the release of the 10.5.3 Mac OS X update. Prior to that, the feature worked perfectly and was able to connect each and everytime after all the proper settings were configured correctly at each end. Now, the feature does not work at all in iChat. I have confirmed and I am able to use the screen sharing features in "Back to my Mac" so I can still screen share with my desktop at home when traveling using my laptop, but I cannot screen share trying to connect using iChat. I have double checked the proper settings for sharing and those are good, I have double checked the settings in Quick Time preferences and those are set to 1.5 Mbps T1 as suggested. I have also gone back and applied the 10.5.3 combo update to both my laptop and the iMac that I am trying to connect to. The router settings have all been verified and the ports are open. The firewalls are all set and both allow connections using iChat, File Sharing, and Remote Log In. Still, after all of this, the screen sharing feature in iChat will not connect and results in a timeout error after about 15 seconds. Is this a known bug in 10.5.3 and can I expect some relief in the next update? Are there any other tricks that may be applied? This is a feature I relied on pretty heavily and now it is gone. Thanks in advance for any assistance.
    I have read several posts regarding the issue of screen sharing in iChat not working properly and I have tried every solution offered in those threads and none of them have worked for me.

    Upon further testing with a different iMac user I was finally able to determine that the problem is router related. I am going to go back again and double check the port settings to make sure they are configured correctly. The router that is giving the problems is a Linksys router and the router that tested fine is an Apple Airport Extreme router. I suspect the LInksys router probably needs to be tweaked further to get it to work properly.

    You don't in the condition it's in. You will either have to get the phone replaced by Apple or pay a 3rd party to repair it.
    there seriously should be more than two ways to solve this other wise apple is useless and we will never buy another apple product.
    Seriously? It's physically broken!

  • HT201412 this is all polog how can I reset if now respond on my touch screen at all I was a very happy costumer on iPad 1 but this is just waste of money 5 Days and not working already

    I am very upset with all this, a buy a unit to work and not having to go through hundreds of steps till I maybe get help, because I need help now and fast
    my nice little toy is ready to fall out of my window broken after 5 Day's don't tell me i can change, i buy to work with not to bring in shop. i waited after my first
    iPad and didn't buy number two for my girlfriend 1 and 2 no problem now i buy for me number 3 sheet... 5 Day's no touchscreen.....
    Since i gave number one to my father i am in big problem now i am going on the road in 3 houres and can not work,
    If i rest on my desktop all my data or gone , don't tell me back up on cloud done before and all mixed up came back include lost date so tell me something I can to in the next 30 Min since i have to sleep as well

    From what you've written I'm not entirely sure what your actual problem is, but if it's that the touchscreen isn't responding then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • In Flex application functionality is working sometimes and not working sometimes..

    Hi,
    Please help me on this..
    In my flex application some functionality is working some times and not working sometimes..
    In my project i have 5 sections with 5 separate screens..Each screen is of one diffeent module.

      I will go to one screen..First time every functionality is working in that screen..
    Ex:: I have a screen with datagrid.From that user will select one job name from datagrid click on next button..
    Based the job name the user selected i have to display some information in next screen and customer names.customer names is a combo box..
    below is the code:::
                   public function populateAllOEMCustomers(event:ResultEvent):void
              1)     var object_CustomerList:CustomerList = event.result as CustomerList; //Assigining result object values to Object reference variable.
              2)    var allOEMCustomersCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); //Declaration ArrayColliction referance variable.
             3)       var i:int=0;
             4)      var customerComboLabel:Label = new Label();
              5)      for (i = 0;i < object_CustomerList.arryCollCustName.length; i++)
                        var strCustName:String = object_CustomerList.arryCollCustName.getItemAt(i).toString();
                        var strCustId:String = object_CustomerList.arryCollCustId.getItemAt(i).toString();
                        customerComboLabel = new Label(); //Dynamic declaration of label.
                        customerComboLabel.name = strCustName; //Assinging the customer name to the Label name field.
                        customerComboLabel.text = strCustId; //Assingning the customer id to the Label text field.
                        allOEMCustomersCollection.addItem(customerComboLabel); //Adding Lable into the ArrayCollection referace variable.                                       
                    //customerComboID.selectedItem = "--";

    I am using::Flex 3,Flash player 10.1
    Thanks in advance..

    Hi Satya,
    This sometimes as in your case might not work as the way you have specified the RemoteClass attribute in your AS class. As somtimes there may be a case as before it is mapped to a server side you are returned the data and so that you may not get the data as your Custom class but as normal Object type.
    So in order to avoid this you can map the server side class to AS classes in the PreInitialize handler itself as shown below:
    Specify the preinitializeHandler in your main application and write the below function.This way also you can map AS classes with the server side. So that you will not have any problem referring your application as AS class types.
    You can use the same line for registering all the classes. By using this you can remove all the  [RemoteClass] attributes on all AS classes and include it at single place.
    preinitialize="onPreinitialize()"
    private function onPreinitialize():void
      registerClassAlias("com.expeditor.ScriptAdmin.Objects.CustomerList", CustomerList);
    Here in the above line of code the string in quotes refer to the namespace of the Server side class and the latter is your AS class. Also dont forget to import the namespace of the corresponding AS class in the file.
    Try this and let me know..
    Thanks,
    Bhasker
