"Share Screen" not working from MacBook to iMac

Hello friends.
I have an iMac (OS 10.6.6, 3.06 GHz core 2 Duo) and a MacBook Pro (OS 10.6.6, 2,53 GHz core 2 Duo)
It's been a while since I had this problem, and I could not solve it.
When I try to connect from iMac to MacBook (from Finder, in shared computers). I click into Share Screen and the login panel appears. After I type the user/password, the program "Share Screen" crashes and never get connected.
It doesn't happen in the other way. I have tried to replace the program from one computer to other and still happening. I have the crash report in case it is needed.
I hope that you could help me fixing this problem, as I am desesperated.
Thanks in advance,
David

Usually when a program crashes in this way, it's a problem with the program itself rather than a configuration error.
Have you tried the "Repair Permissions, Zap PRAM, Repair Disc" sequence?
Good luck,
Archie

File sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

file sharing is not working from pc to imac os x 10.9.2

Hello there Karen,
It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
Soft reset
Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
Quit AirPort Utility.
Hard reset
Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
Release the button and the device will reset.
Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
Select the Other Options button.
Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
Quit AirPort Utility.

Share Screen not working but connecting to computer to see files does!?!!

Hi
Strange but I can see the computer I need to share screen with in my shared devices and I can "CONNECT AS" and see all my shared files but I CAN NOT share screen. It is properly enabled and share screen works with all my other networked computer.
Any ideas what gives here???!!! Thanks for any suggestions!

Same problem here, cannot login into a MacPro (10.6.4) from another MacPro (10.6.4), or from a MacBook (10.6.4), or from a MacBook Pro (10.6.4), all of them located in the same network (intranet).
As the original post, I can mount discs remotely, even ssh into the destination machine, but screen sharing (or even the simple vnc) just does not work.

Skype call share screen not working on Windows 7

To see the Skype version, in Skype open Help -> About Skype.

Hello Skype community! I have a little bit of a problem with my share screen function. This is on Windows 7, and it used to be fine before. My friend's screen, (We'll call her Flower for now), can show up just fine on my screen. But Flower cannot see my screen on her skype call. Screenshot Flower's Laptop is also running Windows 7. I've tried quitting Skype, and even re-downloading it. Sadly, I'm not so sure what version of Skype Flower's running, or mine. Any help is appreciated!

Swipe up to control screen not working from within an app?

Hi everyone,
Iphone 4, ios 7.0.6 user. From the home screen, I can "swipe up" on my iphone to get to a control screen where I can control the music player, turn on/off the flashlight, etc. I used to be able to swipe up while within an app (for example, while looking at a website on safari) and get to this same screen, however currently it doesn't work when an app is open, only from the home screen.
Any suggestions to get this working from within an app as well?
thanks,

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.

I was wondering if there's a way to connect to my work server from my home iMac i7. I can't seem to get Share Screen to work. I have tried connecting to server using the vnc but doesn't work.

The easiest way would be to use Back to My Mac, but that will only work if the server is a Mac running OS X 10.7 or later and you have the cooperation of the network administrator.

Airdrop - not working from iMac to MacBook Pro

Airdrop won't work from iMac to MacBook Pro, but will work from MacBook Pro to iMac. Is there something I need to set on either computer?

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Trying to connect my iMac to on 10.8.2 with PowerBook Intel on 10.5.8; sharing works from PowerBook to iMac but not the other way around. Why?

Thanks for the interest. Preferences are similar on both machines: screen sharing, file sharing, printer sharing & scanner sharing all ticked and radio button for Screen Sharing is ON.
My confusion is that I can get a network connection to the iMac by selecting "go to server" on the PowerMac running 10.5.8 but am unable to make the iMac connect to the PowerMac using similar selections. When ethernet cable is plugged in the PowerMac shows up on the finder bar on the iMac, but it does not allow either screen sharing or connection to occur - a dialog box tells me to check System Prefs and Network connection.
I'm hoping to export a large file of photos from iPhoto on my iMac to my wife's PowerMac and hoped to achieve this with an ethernet network connection.

My Photoshop CS6 Extended did not transfer properly from Macbook to iMac. I am being asked to 'buy' it.

My Photoshop CS6 Extended did not transfer properly from Macbook to iMac. It was treated as a trial and now I am being asked to 'buy' it.

I have run into this before. Click on "license this product" on the Trial countdown screen.
Sign in if asked with your Adobe ID/Password The Cloud is an option for those who do not have a serial number license. It isn't mandatory.
Then look for the "I have a serial number" option.
And enter it from there and activate. Your trial should convert to Photoshop Standard or Extended depending on the serial number.
Of course migrating or restoring from Time Machine does break licensing.
So aside from uninstall, run the Cleaner tool Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
and use Disk Utility to verify your disk and run a "Repair Permissions" before install.

Replaced iPod screen myself, screen not working. Will i be eligible to get a screen LCD repair from Apple ?

I dropped my ipod by accident and i decided to repair the ipod myself by buying a screen off eBay. I replaced the the screen and everything was working when i tested the iPod before screwing the backplate back on. When i closed the iPod, it had a white screen when i power up. I held the power and home button for 30 second and nothing happens. The power button still powers the screen on and home, and when i hold it down it powers off the iPod.Replaced iPod screen myself, screen not working. Will i be eligible to get a screen + LCD repair from Apple ?
Will i still be eligible to get a screen + LCD repair from Apple ?

No, you are not eligible.

Lenovo A1 - Touch screen not working after digitizer replacement

After dropping my tablet and breaking the digitzer, I ordered a replacement digitzer from a company in China. (It took about a month to get it) After watching this video, I was able to install my new digitizer and it finally looked new again....well at least the screen!
But.....when I powered up my tablet, the touch screen wasn't working..... I emailed back and forth with the company and they told me to install drive program, and send me a link to a site with a video, this site may have contained more than the video, but it was all in Chinese and I couldn't figure it out even with Google Translate. So I started researching. I thought I would try and load ICS on it, I thought, "Whats the worst thing that could happen?" it wasn't much more than a brick at this point anyways.
I found this website that let me through installing ICS on it. I had absolutly no expectations...but IT WORKED!!!! MY TOUCH SCREEN IS NOW WORKING!!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
When I was researching for this problem, there was absolutly no posts anywhere for "Touch screen not working after new digitizer". So I wanted to share my experience.

Yea you are correct.....it must be a hardware problem. You must contact service centre of Lenovo and get help from there.
You can say thank you by pressing the star left to my post IF I HELPED YOU

Handoff not working with Macbook air (mid 2012)

So, I just updated to Yosemite and I have enabled all the settings on my Macbook Air (mid 2012), iPhone and iPad. Turned on blutooth, same wifi network, etc... Handoff DOES work from my Mac to the iPhone but will not work from my iPhone to my mac. I've searched high and low and can't figure out why its not working... Any ideas?

*UPDATE* I was able to drop a file to my iPhone via AirDrop FROM my MBP to iPhone. However, I've still been unable to do the reverse (iPhone to MBP).
Same exact situation with same exact MBP (mid 2012 machine). iPhone 5S running iOS 8. I had been trying to go iPhone to MBP for about 30 minutes with no success. Neither Handoff or AirDrop would work. The MBP would recognize the iPhone in AirDrop, but the iPhone would never recognize the MBP as a location to "drop" to.
After reading you post, I tried the reverse (MBP to iPhone). I started an e-mail and got the mail icon on my iPhone lock screen. However, when trying to access the message on the iPhone i received connectivity errors and the "draft" never loaded.
Perhaps the server on the cloud they use for the handoff/airdrop/continuity feature is overloaded due to the rollout. Either way it's entirely more complex to use then it should be.

HT201412 Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time

Iphone 4S screen stops working from time to time.
sometimes for a few seconds, or sometimes many hours.
I've resetted it when this happens, with no luck.
I've restored it from back up, and the problem still persists.
What can i do?

Hello,
I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
THAT was not an option!
BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
@Apple:
Please fix that issue in the next update.
Hope, this helps you guys as well.

8500 All in One - touch screen not working

One minute the touch screen with all it's functions was working fine and then, bam (!), the touch screen stopped working and I can't even use the one/off switch to power the unit off - it does not respond. Funny thing is that the printer is still working from my computer so I can still send a print job via the wireless. With the touch screen not working I can't use any function from the unit itself (copy a hard copy, fax a hard copy) and if the unit runs out of paper I have to unplug it to reboot since I can't hit the 'enter' on the touch screen once I've reloaded.
Bottom line --- nothing from the unit itself works. Has a printer fairy locked me out or does this sound like a hardware error? Thanks for any help ...

Excellent. Let me know how round 2 treats you. The sad demise could have been due to a couple of things...as a side question, is the climate where you live especially dry right now? I may request that our testers recheck how well we handle a static shock on the product if it is dry where you live.
Regards, CF
I work for HP and hope to make your day Sproutastic!
