When i want to send a picture as an example to a friend i press the Box-with-up-arrow and it gives some apps to use to send, such as iMessages, Facebook, email etc. I would like to add whatsapp to that just to make it easier to ue that application to send things.

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!

Can't share screens with Skype Windows 8

I searched everywhere but I couldn't find a solution for it.I tried: clicking on the + button during a conversation as well as right clicking on the contact and seeking for the screen sharing button. See both screenshots in attachment.May someone please enlighten me to find the screen share function on Skype version windows 8?

Not being able to view others share screenMy os is 8.1, I have installed the skype for desktop. I have also set, Video Settings==>Automatically receive video and share screens with anyone Yet when my friend click on share screen, I cant view his screen, whilst if I click on share screen he could. My skype version=6.11.0.102. I have also click on updates and all is latest. I also set for automatic update Able to block video calls but enable share screen
Pls advise how can I block all video calls yet able to allow anyone to share screen with me?

Connecting to shared machines (either via Share Screen or file sharing)

I have a MobileMe account and four computers in separate locations which I regularly need to connect between. Some are on static IP's and others are on dynamic IP's. So all of them have file sharing enabled as well as screen sharing enabled. They're also all registered in my MobileMe account. Anytime I'm in a Finder window, in the sidebar, I see Shared > (computer name) and see all the computers there. If I click on it, I'm offered two buttons, one to "Connect As" if I want to file share, and "Share Screen" if I want to VNC.
I would say 60-70% of the time I click on either of those buttons, it doesn't work. It takes about a minute to try and connect, then says, "Connection failed to (computer name). Please make sure screensharing is enabled...blah blah blah..." (it is)
However, 40-60% of the time if I click the same button again, it DOES work!
Sometimes it takes several tries.
It's really frustrating that I can't reliably connect to the other computers in the MobileMe list.
Does anyone else see this and are there any suggestions? There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Trying to connect to a computer that has a static IP vs. dynamic fails with about the same regularity. So I don't think that's it.
I also get about the same failure rate when trying to use Connect As to fileshare. So I don't think it's a VNC/screenshare-specific problem.
I've tried using DynDNS as an alternate way to reliably locate another of my computers. It fails with approx. the same failure rate, and sometimes works upon re-attempt.
HELP!

Goto your System Preferences->Sharing, Then select the Internet tab.
From the drop down menu select 'Share your connection from: Kyrocera card.'
And in the 'To computers using' box tick built in ethernet and connect a network cable to your powerbook and the other end to your network.
Or if you have an airport card installed share the connection using your airport.Then other wireless devices can connect to your powerbook.

Hi,
You can create a shared workbook and place it on a network location where several people can edit the contents simultaneously
Just go to the Review tab, in the Changes group, click
Share Workbook.
However, not all features and functionalities are supported in a shared workbook. Please review this article for more details:

Hope this helps.

Finder Share Screen Snow Leopard to Leopard Not Working

Trying to use Share Screen from my new Snow Leopard install to a Leopard machine but only getting a black screen. Have rebooted both machines but still get the same result.

HI,
Must be the heat wave Do this on the Mac running Snow Leopard.
Try deleting this file.
com.apple.ScreenSharing.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences.
Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and restart both Macs.
I'm sure you have File Sharing turned on in System Preferences/Sharing on the SL Mac and Personal File Sharing on the Leopard Mac ??
Sometimes after you do the setup, it helps to restart both machines...
If you haven't done so since upgrading to SL, repair disk permissions on the Mac running SL.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

Video Not Working & Can't Share Screen

Hello, I am having a slight problem...
What happens is that in my group, I cannot share my screen nor use my webcam, as the video button is greyed out and "Share screen" isn't there. It says I cannot have more than 10 people in the call, but I only have about 5-7 at a time and they can share screens or turn on their webcam; I'm the only one who can't. I already checked my video settings and my webcam is working fine. I also already reinstalled Skype and it's still happening.
What are they doing that I'm not?
Thank you!~

This is a known issue with the latest Skype 7.0 update.

You can uninstall the 7.0 version and install the previous 6.21.0.104 Skype version:

Why is share screen saying that it is being closed out by a remote user

I'm using my mac mini and I am trying to share screen another computer by using iMessages on my mac to do that. Every time the other user clicks accept. It give me a window saying that "Your Screen Sharing session has been closed by a remote user".

I spoke with an Apple tech. She advised me to reboot routers and computers on both ends, and to sign out of and back into the "Messages" app on both ends.
It's working for me again now…

Share Screen

Snow Leopard on my MBP is requiring a user id and password to share screen of my remote mac mini which, in any event, fails when I supply it. Leopard did not require authentication and my mac mini is set up to allow all users without a password. SL can see the remote mac mini and its directory structure just fine. Need help with this one, please.

Repair disk permissions and see if that helps...

Share Screen Dialog Won't Quit

I tried to do a "Share Screen" with another Mac that had frozen. The Share Screen went searching for the other computer but couldn't find it. So, I restarted the other computer and it booted back up. But now when I go back to the first computer, the Share Screen dialog is stuck on "connecting..." The Cancel button is not available. There is no close icon on the window. I used "Force Quit" to shut down the Screen Sharing application and it closed, but the "connecting" dialog stayed open. I did a relaunch on the Finder, but that didn't have any effect either. The "connecting" dialog is forced on top of all other windows, so I'm going to have to reboot the system to get rid of it.
I think this is a Snow Leopard bug. Is there anything else I can do beyond Force Quit to get this dialog box to close?

How do I share screens via Thunderbolt

I have a MBP 15 inch 2012. I also have my iMac 21. I would like to use Thunderbolt as a cable connection to manage my MBP in Clamshell while connected to the iMac. That would mean Screen sharing, Application use, etc.
I know I can do it with Remote Desktop over network, but I would prefer to do it as a cable to cable connection without using Ethernet.
Any suggestions?

How do I share screens on the Android free version
Hello
Unfortunately that's not possible. Screen sharing can't be done between tablets/smartphones or between a tablet/smartphone and a computer. If a computer initiates screen sharing the screen can be shared with a tablet/smartphone.
TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Restore Lock Screen in Windows 8.1

I deleted the lock screen in Windows 8.1 and now realize I need it. How can I get it back?
I deleted using Windows+R "regedit" using this link
http://media.askvg.com/downloads/2012/11/Disable-Windows-8-Lock-Screen.zip
Is there a way to get the lock screen back?

Hi，
The registry you posted here are this
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization]
"NoLockScreen"=dword:00000001
so you just need to launch regedit editor by run regedit.exe, then locate to the right place, set the value back to 0, then restart your PC.
or just run the "restore....reg" as David mentioned.
