Share Screen does not work well when wifi is turned on.

Hello,
I'm having a minor little problem with Share Screen among 3 machines, 2 Lion OS mac pros connected with network cable, and a 3rd mbp laptop, also LION. I use share screen a lot and I am unable to connect from my main mac pro to the 2nd mac pro (via an ethernet cable) when wifi is turned on.....actually, I can connect, but it gets stuck on the "Connecting" screen and then 10 minutes later, it connects. When I turn wifi off, then hit Share Screen, the connection and response is very fast.
After several hours playing with Sharing preferences....I think it seems like a network thing. I have checked network preferences, and re-ordered them to prioritize ethernet over wifi, powered off all devices including router, and everything else I can think of. btw, the share screen connection from my laptop to the mac pro is fine, even when wifi is turned on on the laptop.
A simple work around is to just turn wifi off, make my connection, then turn wifi back on. But I'm curious and would like to solve this issue. It started after my 10.7.4 client combo update and has been working fine for several months before that, so I'd like to figure it out. Any ideas?
Thanks for all the help on these boards.

Nevermind.
I had a failing hard drive (not the OS drive) in one of the drive bays. A couple of days after I posted this question, the drive (which has been at S.M.A.R.T. status "failing" for 6 months completely died, at which point the computer wouldn't even turn on. After removing the drive, everything with the Share Screen works fine, both over network cable and wifi.

  • Maverick update now my login screen does not work please help.

    Hello hope you can help.  I have a 24 inch Mid 2007 Intel iMac.  It has been great until now.  I recently did the Maverick update and now my login screen does not work.  When I wake the computer up the screen appars with my picture icon.  When I click on it nothing happens.  If I click on it a second or third time the beach ball appears and nothing happens.  I have to shut the unit down with the power button and when the unit powers back up everything works normally.  Are there any suggestions out there?  I have updated the software without resolution. Is this computer too old?   Do I have to buy a new one?
    Thank you

    Your iMac can support Mavericks according to the requirements > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    Try a Safe Mode boot. That deletes some system caches that may help.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    See if there's an improvement for the login screen.

  • My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi

    Following a question solved on March 24 by LaPastenague, but gone bad again.
    Apple AirPort Time Capsule
    I felt the need for a physical backup of my data, as I would not completely trust the different clouds. I use, and have used Dropbox for 4-5 years and are very satisfied with that, but I am still not sure if or when a political lunatic will shut off the internet.
    I purchased the Apple AP Time Capsule 2T, because all my other stuff are Apple, and that it's wireless. My old backup is Maxtor 300 GB.
    Since we stay 2-3 weeks on two locations, one in Norway and one in Sweden (two different countries) we must use Mobile Broadband 4G, cables or fibre connections are useless for us, and we don't have it up to the houses. I have one mini router for each country, we bring with us iPhones, iPads, iMac, Apple TV, APExpress. When we pass the boarder I change the mini router, and the system continues working perfect on the WiFi, except the APExpress that needs to be reconfigured,  but then it works.
    The APTC was difficult to make working as it would not accept to be in an existing network, but with good help from the Apple Community, LaPastenague, with forcing the TC connect to the APE with Ethernet cable in bridge mode, ref "My Time Capsule does not work with existing WiFi" from March 24, the problem was solved and all gadgets worked together in a perfect harmony, until we changed location.
    Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
    I have a slight feeling that the two WiFi bands are making the trouble as during the configuration of the TC sometime the last figure 6 and 7 pops up, and that has something two do with the two different 2,4 and 5 GHZ bands
    So, I am curious if you have any idea ?
    I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?

    I can deal with the last question first and easily.
    I am thinking of returning the TC if I don't make it work now, but how do I delete all the data that's on it?
    Open the airport utility .. go to the disk tab and select erase.
    When you select erase you will get mulitiple options.
    Quick removes the file table but does not delete the files,, it takes 2min or less.
    A Zero out data is the secure way,, by writing 0 ie low level drive format.
    It can take several hours..
    7 pass will take a week.. not recommended..
    35 pass erase is ridiculous.. it would take a month.. put an ax through the TC. It is quick and better.
    Now, as I have my second WiFi network, and the APExspress is reconfigured, it's like the TC thinks, I am the base boss here, I am not taking orders from APE one more time, and it simply does not work, not only that, it fluctuates all the time.
    The fact that it did work and has now failed might point to faulty unit.
    The only way to tell is reset it properly to factory and start over.
    Universal Factory Reset.. any model TC or AE.
    Unplug your TC/AE from power or turn off at the power point.
    Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. (this is often difficult without a 2nd person or a 3rd arm).
    Release it when the status light flashes rapidly. If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have missed it and try again.
    Note..
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations of the router.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk in a TC.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Generally having multiple wireless AP should not cause problems.. but it is better to set channels manually.. so it doesn't go beserk rotating channels.
    Remember to keep all names short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    Sadly though the Apple routers have no logging now and no SNMP and almost nothing to help diagnose a problem, so if it continues .. take it back to apple.. they have given you no other method of fixing it.

    Hi Nealeh
    Thanks i think I got it working of a fashion.
    Except the replace colour, does not seem to end up with the colour I picked using the picker tool. Its as though it hads not replaced the colour but blended in the desired colour with the old incorrect colour!
    Buy trial and error picking not the right colour but close - which when mixed with the existing colour is close.
    Sorry I can't post the pictures as the Lingerie Mfg, has me under non disclosure.
    The scenario is:-  say a blonded mainly tanned model a high cut [at the hips] corsette style basque, with an ultra low bra line.
    Our dear model, has just come back from St Barts with a fabulous Tan, and equally striking bold Tan lines!.
    So we have great tanned legs, then the 'porcelain white band' where her swimsuit was.
    Likewise we have a tanned face, and arms, shoulders etc and a great tan on the top of the cleavage, then it stops, white band to the top of the ultralow cut bra line of the basque.
    She must have lived in like the most conservative bikini on the planet [50's style], for 2 weeks!
    Had she had a normal skimpy bikini on, no problem!
    If i don't solve it, she will get fired!
    Not a lack of interest in your post, but I was out, and tried to log in to this site; which I could do, on my iPad Air / 5 [whatever its the new one]. And tried to 'sign in' - but it just hung at the
    "Join Adobe Community" adobe sign in splash screen! with he little whell spinning around continuously!!!
    I have Safari on this iPad. Guess that is all it runs.
    So technology is not my friend today!

Similarly when a commanButton link to run a task-flow, It do not work , however in the JDeveloper integrated Weblogic it runs correctly.
    How I can solve these problems?

  • My ipad2 is nearly useless since the instalación of ios8.0.2, the screen does not respond to touch, wifi freezes

    SInce the installation of IOS8.0.2, my iPad 2 is nearly useles. The touch screen does not work, wifi freezes constantly, I am requested continuous to input my iCloud username and passcode. And the system is soooo slow that I have started to use again my old pc to do Internet searches. I have tried the iPad turning off and on but the problems restart shortly afterward. Any suggestions what can I do ? Is Apple doing anything in this regard?

    Try some basic troubleshooting:
    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    (B) Try reset all settings
    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    (C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
    Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

  • My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

    My aux input does not work. When i put in my headphones my mac does not respond, and my speakers just continues as normal. What to do?

    I had the same issue. Initially i thought i need to take it to apple for replacing the aux port. But luckily I was able to fix it by resetting the PRAM . To reset the PRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.
    You can try this before you take to apple store. It may work if you are lucky. Good luck

    You could follow the instructions in the support document that you linked from. There is a section regarding the passcode and the inability to use it or enter it. However, you may encounter more issues since you cannot use the screen.

    My Ipod touch does not work properly.When i charge it,it only works for 5 min.n gets discharge.I showed it to the apple store in banglore n the person told me its fine n It is working properly.Bt its not working properly.Can someone help

    If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem.  I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

  • I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

    I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question. 

    Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
    Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.
