Share my screen not available

Greetings all,
My Niece is at Auburn and I am trying to fix something on her computer but she is unable to share her screen with me. I am running OS-X 10.6.6 and iChat 5.0.3. She is on a MacBook running 10.5.8 and iChat 4.0.9. I can share my screen with her but not the other way. Her Share Screen is enabled. She is using an Airport. Her Dad was able to connect on an Intel iMac but not the Power PC. She mentioned he had to update iChat to 4.0.9 to get it to work which tells me he is on 10.5. Any suggestions?

Niece misunderstood the diff between Sys Pref and iChat Pref. Thanks anyway...

TS4196 Share Screen not available

I have tried to use the "Share Screen" function in Messages beta, but I notice that the option is shaded out. When I asked someone to send me an invitation to share their screen from iChat, I do not appear as available to them. My setting show I'm available. ??

Hi,
No.
Apple effectively let AIM or rather seems to give AIM the Apple IDs so that when you go to either https://settings.aim.com/ with @mac.com names or try to "re-register" and name at the registration page you will get a message about the name being in use.
At the AIM registration page the full name of the account is technically [email protected]
However in most cases the username is normally what you use in AIM capable messaging apps.
It is possible to activate the name as email as a separate step.
Currently you may have older @mac.com names from Apple as well as @me.com and @icloud.com issued by the iCloud registration process.
In Messages and iChat 6 all these variants will work.
However in iChat 5 and earlier version only the @mac.com names will work due to this Dual Login that the last two version make to me.com as well as AIM.com that allows the password to be "read".
Summary.
You can't "re-register" an Apple ID as AIM are already aware of it.
AIM can't "see" the password until iChat tells them they can look.
In iChat 6 and Message this includes and extra step that is created by the app also logging in to Me.com and this then confirms that AIM can "read" the password.
AIM names can be any other email if you wish your name to be that email. [email protected] for example ([email protected] for another).
However creating a new name and to show it will be a name that is @Aim.com but this suffix is rarely used in any app - relying on the username only part.
It can be made to be an active email as a separate step.

Why is "share my screen" not working

I've used share my screen before - quite some time ago. I needed to share a design with a client today and it simply won't work. Keeps telling me

Sharing a link to Facebook, the "share" button is not available in the window and I can't resize to access it. How do I make it work?

I have Windows 8.1, touchscreen. When responding to an issues email that then gives me the option to share on Facebook, the resulting share window does not format so that the share button is accessible to click or press. Thus, I cannot share anything. I have tried resizing the share window, but it just jumps around and never makes the button accessible.

I understand that the share button on Facebook jumps around. Does this also happen in safe mode?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

CAPTURE PREVIEW SCREEN NOT AVAILABLE

Capturing from CANON XH A1, with all correct settings (I think so...), I can see in Premiere capture screen - original clip in PLAY. But when I press RECORD button, get a screen with multi languages (!) saying "Reprodution in Video Hardware". Clip is really captured, but without Preview.
Otherwise, capturing in HDV Split, with exactly same settings, everything goes easy and correctly!
What am I doing wrong?
Like in previous questions, you help is useful and welcome. Thanks a lot!

This is not so weird. You need to remember that the transfer from your camera to the computer is a asynchronous communication. Once the camera starts the transfer, it assumes that the computer is fast enough to transfer the information to the HDD without dropping frames. With DV, this wasn't a major problem as the DV format allowed a bit for bit transfer at only 4 mb/sec with no processing--hence no processor delays.
However, with HDV, the mpeg file is contained in a wrapper that must be removed before the the mpeg can be displayed and requires a much higher IO rate (25 mb/sec?). It seems that Adobe made a design decision not to mess with this during capture and to not display the real-time image so as to minimize dropped frames on capture.
There are standalone programs that can capture and display, but these programs have far lower overhead and memory requirements than does Premiere.
Maybe when we're all running 64bit vista on multiple processor motherboards with huge memory and fast disk arrays, this crutch wont be necessary.

Share screen not working

I have OS 10.5.1. So does my colleague. I have an iMac with a camera. He has an iMac without a camera. He has DSL (1.5 mbps), while I have cable modem (16 mbps).
From everything I have read about iChat, he should still be able to share his screen with me.
We can easily get an audio session going, but, whenever we try to initiate a sharing session to share his screen, we get messages saying it is starting up, but then nothing ever appears. Is the DSL line too slow? Are we being impatient to expect the sharing to start within a minute? Is his color setting too high? (We have tried to reduce it to Thousands with no success.)
What is wrong? What else should we try?

Hi,
Apple have posted the ports iChat 3 uses.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93208
They have also published the Leopard ones (Without saying the Bonjour, Jabber and Login one are still needed)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306688
The Later article also says nothing about which ports the Screen sharing is done on.
Reading other pieces of information you learn that the Screen Sharing is based on Apple Remote Desktop.
In fact if in System Preferences > Sharing this is turned on you can not Screen Share from the Finder.
This table lists ports for that
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106439
Namely port 5900 and 5988.
However I run Little Snitch, an app/utility that will tell me the ports iChat is using at any one stage and to what IP.
In iChat Screen sharing I have seen ports all over the place and not restricted to the one I have pointed as being listed.
I use UPnP in my routing modem and this seems to cope with this.
The Settings for Displays and the Speeds in this case are immaterial.
Audio chats normally use about 20k or so on my Mac
Screen sharing is about 48k (Probably just above what a dial-up modem might throughput) so both your speeds are good enough.
I have not seen excessive speed be a problem here as it can be with certain Video chats as there is less data to buffer.

My Itunes software, when activated, cuts off 3" of the right portion and 1" of the bottom of the screen. Everything available in this section of the screes is not available, making the software practically unusable. Has this happened to anyone out there a

My Itunes software, when activated, shows an image on the screen of the normal itunes image except that about 3" of the image is cut off on the right side of the screen and about 1" of the bottom. All functions shown work. Any function in the part of the screen that is not shown, is not available, making the softwave almost nonfunctionable. When I upgrade, this is usually resolved, until it starts happening again. Since I currently have the latest version of Itunes, I cannot try this solution, which is only temperary anyway. Can anyone help me?

Could you post a screenshot of the display for us please, bili?
Save the screenshot in an image file, start a new reply here, and use the wee camera icon at the top of the reply window to insert the image file into the reply.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it.

I have a mac Book Pro and and iMac, both with Thunderbolt. I connect my thunderbolt cable to each and each tells me that it is connected to the other, but when I try secondary screen in Aperture it is still grey and not available, what do I have to do to?

I have a Mac Pro and an Imac, both with thunderbolt. When I connect the two together with a thunderbolt cable each recognises the other as shown in the system report, but when I try to use second screen in Aperture, the option is still grey and unavailable. What do i have to do to activate second screen in Aperture via thunderbolt?

In actual fact this seems a bigger problem than I thought. Linking the two computers via the Thundernolt cable and selecting cmd F2 no longer shares the screen at all and Apple say it may not be able too in Mointain Lion - What are they playing at, hundreds of customers link computers together and share the screens - Lets hope they are wrong and tell us what we need to do other than move back to Windows.

Morning JJFH,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Mini HDMI adapter to 55" tv, Not Available error, still see screen

basically i have a Mini HDMI adapter connected to my 55" tv, I have run the tv all day like this with no problem watsoever, but now an error message has popped up over top of (i can still see all the computer stuff i should on the tv, using it now actually) but the error message says (Not Available) i'm assuming this Not available message means that the connection is not available to the computer, but its in the middle of the screen over top of my streamed computer, my computer is running on the tv still, it just has the "not available" error right in the middle of the screen & won't go away.
sorry for the long msg i'm not good @ explaining things.

Update again, error has popped up again & won't go away this time.
Did i get a faulty adapter? I know the HDMI cord itself is good, as well as the port on the tv as i have used both with other devices without problems
anyone that can possibly explain what is going on please do, I am starting to get really irritated,
& just a guess, this error has occured when opening full windowed items such as a video i tried playing, & then a game i tried opening, it was fine each time running safari & skype until i tried opening those full windowed items, would that make any difference? if i can fix it again i'll try my theory,

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?
