Some help needed with Screen sharing.

Ok, so I am trying to set up screen sharing with a friend and I had a couple questions.
1. If I am running Lion and my friend is Running Snow Leopard, is this possible to do?
2. How will he connect to my computer for screen sharing? I have set up port fowarding on my router to my computer on port 3283.
3. How will i connect to my Friends Computer?

I would prefer to use the built in Screen Share abilitys in Mac OS X but I might look into it. However, as this is just something me and my friend will use every once in a while I do not want to download a whole bunch of software.

  • Please help needed with Screen Sharing

    I've been using Leopards screen share successfully on my MBP, connecting to my iMac ever since Leopard was released.
    Now it connects, but the screen just flashes and I can't do anything. When I watch my iMacs screen the sharing icon on the menu bar is also flashing. So it looks like the sharing session is connecting and disconnecting rapidly.
    The firewall is open to all connections on both computers. I even tried re-formating my MBP, it fixed the problem for 2 days and the problem came back again.

    Hi, I've also been having this problem since I upgraded to 10.5.6 on my machines. Before the upgrade, it was rock solid. Now when I connect, it flashes and drops, then starts over again.
    I just discovered a way to get the connection to stay - TURN SCALING OFF
    In my case I have a G5 with two screens attached. When I turn scaling off, it still drops the connection once, but then starts working fine.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Some help needed with initWithNibName and UITableViewCell

    Hiya guys, been going at this for a few hours now and came to the conclusion I can use a helping hand.
    *Here's the .m file* http://thepreciousyears.com/web/MainViewController.m
    The jist of the issue is I have a table view that has custom cells, each individual cell calls its respected detail view from separate nib files. This is working as expected.
    In the CustomCell I used IB and setup custom IBOutlets as you'll see in the code. I got this working fine.
    The issue is I can't seem to figure out how to give each cell its own respective title/author/date/image. If you look at the above code you'll see that title/author/date/image will repeat.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Cheers!

    // tell our table what kind of cell to use and its title for the given row
    - (UITableViewCell *) tableView:(UITableView *) tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath{
    // Define CellIdentifier @"customCell"
    // ** make sure the expansion of kCellIdentifier is entered under InfoViewCustomCell Attributes in IB
    InfoViewCustomCell *cell = (InfoViewCustomCell *)[tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:kCellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil)
    // ** this line isn't doing anything except making a memory leak
    // cell = [[[UITableViewCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:kCellIdentifier] autorelease];
    cell = [[[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@"InfoViewCustomCell" owner:nil options:nil] objectAtIndex:0];
    // ** be careful about hard coding a zero index in the above nib array; that index can be version dependent
    // ** (e.g. it could be one)--it's safer to take the last element of the array or even to walk the array
    // ** to find an object of the expected class.
    // ** the next four lines are setting the properties of each cell to the same info,
    // ** so we would certainly expect each cell to display the same text and image
    [[cell articleName]setText:@"Article1"];
    [[cell authorName]setText:@"John Doe"];
    [[cell date]setText:@"June 21st, 2009"];
    [[cell image]setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"test.jpg"]];
    // ** this is the kind of statement which would populate each cell with different
    // ** text, since the text selection is based on the row:
    //cell.textLabel.text = [[self.infoTableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] objectForKey:kTitleKey];
    // ** thus the above four lines should be implemented something like this:
    // ** NSDictionary *rowData = [self.infoTableData objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
    // ** [[cell articleName] setText:[rowData objectForKey:kTitleKey]];
    // ** [[cell authorName] setText:[rowData objectForKey:kAuthorKey]];
    // ** etc.
    return cell;
    Hope the above is helpful. I haven't run the recommended code in a test bed yet, so please don't be surprised if I made a typo. If there are bugs you can't find right away, just let me know. I'm running very similar code in several projects, so any glitches should be very easy to fix.

  • Some help needed with fstab

    I just attached a new disk to my machine, so i can use its 80 gb for my mp3 library.
    I want to have full access to all the disk and read/write permissions for all the users in the system.
    As root, i created the directory /media/Music
    I edited fstab like this:
    UUID=5a87c116-3e2f-4cd8-825a-18adc82651fa /media/Music ext4 users,defaults 0 1
    But i still cannot write anything to the disk as normal user.
    Before going on, i want to ask if there is a problem because i created the /media/Music folder as root, and the permissions are drwxr-xr-x with root as owner or if the problem remains in the fstab configuration.
    Im also trying to mount a ntfs partition on demand, so i added this line to fstab as well:
    UUID=747C1C797C1C37F6 /media/XP ntfs-3g users,uid=1000,gid=100,fmask=0113,dmask=0002,noauto 0 0
    I want read/write support once i mount it... but i get an error message about privileges.....
    Thanks!

    Yep... chown it to your user:group you want to own it, then mount it and you should be good to go.  Example: user name is willy and group is willy::
    # chown willy:willy /media/Music
    is the -R option needed in this situation?
    Also, i want to make sure that the fstab string about this partition is correct, is it?
    About the ntfs partition, i have to automount it for getting all the privileges i want, but i dont want to mount it on every bootup....
    Thanks

  • Need help with screen sharing/VNC

    I can't seem to get screen sharing to work. I got my dad an iMac this Christmas and thought I could help him learn it with screen sharing. Not going so well. I tried experimenting with a friend's Macbook and I was able to screen share when we were within wireless range via iChat and Bonjour. But when more remote, the "share screen" icon on iChat is grayed out. My friend tried setting up an AIM account (v 4.7 I think) and we still can't screen share.
    So I tried the VNC option with my dad's computer. I went to Finder >Go >Connect to server >entered vnc://Dad's IP address and got the message that it couldn't be found.
    All three of the computers in this message have screen sharing turned on, firewall set to accept anyone, and have 10.5.1. We all use DSL modems (from the phone company), connected wirelessly; and I'm the only one with a dot Mac account.

    2 ideas
    The DSL modems that are provided by my Telephone Company (Centurytel) are all Westell and Netopia routers. The phone company calls them modems, but they are actually routers with a built-in NAT firewall. This means you have to set up port forwarding for VNC to work. The TCP ports to forward are 5500,5800,5900. VNC doesn't use UDP.
    If you are both using Leopard, then the free .mac account takes care of the port forwarding problem, and also finding the other party's IP number (the .mac id continues to work for iChat even after the 60 day trial). You both login to .mac, start the chat, and then request to share screens. It's working so well for me that as soon as the 400mb 1.5.2 update becomes available I will start moving my clients over to Leopard

  • Help needed with header and upload onto business catalyst

    Can someone help with a problem over a header please?
    I have inserted a rectangle with a jpeg image in  background, in the 'header' section, underneath the menu. It comes up fine on most pages when previsualised, going right to the side of the screen, but stops just before the edge on certain pages. I have double checked that I have placed it in the right place in relation to the guides on the page.
    That's one problem.
    The second problem is that I tried to upload onto business catalyst, which got to 60% and refused to go any further, saying it couldn't find the header picture, giving the title and then u4833-3.fr.png. The picture is in the right folder I have double checked. And it isn't a png. Does it have to be ?
    And the third problem is that I got an email following my upload from business catalyst in Swedish. I am living in France.
    Can anyone help ? Thanks.

    Thanks for replying,
    How can I check the preview in other browsers before I publish a provisional site with BC?
    The rectangle width issue happens on certain pages but not others. The Welecom page is fine when the menu is active, also the contact page, but others are slightly too narrow. Changing the menu spacing doesn’t help - I was already on uniform but tried changing to regular and back.
    In design mode the rectangle is set to the edge of the browser, that’s 100%browser width right?
    Re BC I have about 200 images on 24 different pages and it seems to be having difficulty uploading some of them. But it has managed a couple I named with spaces but not others I named with just one name.
    Is there an issue on size of pictures ? If I need to replace is there a quick way to rename and relink or do I have to insert the photos all over again?
    I’m a novice with Muse with an ambitious site !
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi
    Answering the questions :
    - Have you checked the preview in Muse and also in other browsers ?
    - Does the rectangle width issue happens when menu is active , or in any specific state , Try to change the menu with uniform spacing and then check.
    - In design view the rectangle is set to 100% browser width ?
    With publishing :
    - Please try to rename the image file and then relink
    - If it happens with other images as well , see if all the image names includes strange characters or spaces.
    - Try again to publish
    With e-mail from BC :
    - Under preferences , please check the country selected.
    - If you have previously created partner account in BC and selected country and language then it would follow that, please check that.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit

  • Help needed with Vista 64 Ultimate

    "Help needed with Vista 64 UltimateI I need some help in getting XFI Dolby digital to work
    Okay so i went out and I bought a yamaha 630BL reciever, a digital coaxial s/pdif, and a 3.5mm phono plug to fit perfectly to my XFI Extreme Music
    -The audio plays fine and reports as a PCM stream when I play it normally, but I can't get dolby digital or DTS to enable for some reason eventhough I bought the DDL & DTS Connect Pack for $4.72
    When I click dolby digital li've in DDL it jumps back up to off and has this [The operation was unsuccessful. Please try again or reinstall the application].
    Message Edited by Fuzion64 on 03-06-2009 05:33 AMS/PDIF I/O was enabled under speakers in control panel/sound, but S/PDIF Out function was totally disabled
    once I set this to enabled Dolby and DTS went acti've.
    I also have a question on 5. and Vista 64
    -When I game I normally use headphones in game mode or 2. with my headphones, the reason for this is if I set it on 5. I get sounds coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    Now when I watch movies or listen to music I switch to 5. sound in entertainment mode, but to make this work properly I have to open CMSS-3D. I then change it from xpand to stereo and put the slider at even center for 50%. If I use the default xpand mode the audio is way off coming out of all of the wrong channels.
    How do I make 5. render properly on vista

    We ended up getting iTunes cleanly uninstalled and were able to re-install without issue.  All is now mostly well.
    Peace...

  • How does ARD compare with Screen Sharing

    I make a lot of use of Screen Sharing for managing multiple computers across the internet. However, with the drastically reduced price of ARD on the App Store I am tempted to replace my Screen sharing usage. However, if all I need is screen sharing do I gain anything ?

    Only the ability to show multiple computers at once
    http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/remoteassistance.html
    and perhaps Curtain Mode (that may be in the normal screen sharing; I can't recall). Other than that, ignoring all the other features and functions of ARD, then unless there's something I'm not thinking of, the screen sharing capabilities are the same.
    Regards.

  • Help needed with java

    Hello everyone
    I'm a Student and new to java and I have been given a question which I have to go through. I have come across a problem with one of the questions and am stuck, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out.
    here is my code so far:
    A Class that maintains Information about a book
    This might form part of a larger application such
    as a library system, for example.
    @author (your name)
    *@version (a version number or a date)*
    public class Book
    // instance variables or fields
    private String author;
    private String title;
    Set the author and title when the book object is constructed
    public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle)
    author = bookAuthor;
    title = bookTitle;
    Return The name of the author.
    public String getAuthor()
    return author;
    Return The name of the title.
    public String getTitle()
    return title;
    and below are the questions that I need to complete. they just want me to add codes to my current one, but the problem is I don't know where to put them and how I should word them, if that makes sense.
    Add a further instance variable/field pages to the Book class to store the number of pages in the book.
    This should be of type int and should be set to 0 in the Constructor.
    Add a second Constructor with signature
    public Book(String bookAuthor, String bookTitle, int noPages) so it has a third parameter passed to it as well as the author and title;
    this parameter is used - obviously?? - to initialise the number of pages.
    Note: This is easiest done by making a copy of the existing Constructor and adding the parameter.
    Add a getPages() accessor method that returns the number of pages in the book.
    Add a method printDetails() to your Book class. This should print out the Author title and number of pages to the Terminal Window. It is your choice as to how the data is formatted, perhaps all on one line, perhaps on three, and with or without explanatory text. For instance you could print out in the format:
    Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:226
    Add a further instance variable/field refNumber() to your Book class. This stores the Library's reference number. It should be of type String and be initialised to the empty String "" in the constructor, as its initial value is not passed in as a parameter. Instead a public mutator method with the signature:
    public void setRefNumber(String ref) should be created. The body of this method should assign the value of the method parameter ref to the refNumber.
    Add a corresponding getRefNumber() accessor method to your class so you can check that the mutator works correctly
    Modify your printDetails() method to include printing the reference number of the book.
    However the method should print the reference number only if it has been set - that is the refNumber has a non-zero length.
    If it has not been set, print "ZZZ" instead.
    Hint Use a conditional statement whose test calls the length() method of the refNumber String and gives a result like:
    Title: Jane Eyre, Author: Charlotte Bronte, Pages:226, RefNo: CB479 or, if the reference number is not set:
    Title: Robinson Crusoe, Author: Daniel Defoe, Pages:347, RefNo: ZZZ
    Modify your setRefNumber() method so that it sets the refNumber field only if the parameter is a string of at least three characters. If it is less than three, then print an error message (which must contain the word error) and leave the field unchanged
    Add a further integer variable/field borrowed to the Book class, to keep a count of the number of times a book has been borrowed. It should (obviously??) be set to 0 in the constructor.
    Add a mutator method borrow() to the class. This should increment (add 1 to) the value of borrowed each time it is called.
    Include an accessor method getBorrowed() that returns the value of borrowed
    Modify Print Details so that it includes the value of the borrowed field along with some explanatory text
    PS. sorry it looks so messey

    1. In the future, please use a more meaningful subject. "Help needed with java" contains no information. The very fact that you're posting here tells us you need help with Java. The point of the subject is to give the forum an idea of what kind of problem you're having, so that individuals can decide if they're interested and qualified to help.
    2. You need to ask a specific question. If you have no idea where to start, then start here: [http://home.earthlink.net/~patricia_shanahan/beginner.html]
    3. When you post code, use code tags. Copy the code from the original source in your editor (NOT from an earlier post here, where it will already have lost all formatting), paste it in here, highlight it, and click the CODE button.

  • How do I get started with screen sharing?

    There are dozens of articles on the web and posts here talking about what's new with screen sharing in Lion, but for the life of me I can't find anything that tells somebody completely new to screen sharing how to get started.  If I want to do screen sharing with a friend (over the Internet, not a LAN), what exactly do we have to do to get started?
    Sorry for a noob question, but everything I see assumes you're already completely familiar with it and just want to see Lion tweaks.

    ok so go to your system preferences on your MAC > go to sharing > click the screen sharing option on> next go to the add users section right below on the right and you add your friend whom you want to share with. You have to select a password for this person.  When you get this done you will see a
    Other users can access your computer's screen at:
    and you will have an address there with some numbers. give this to your friend whom you want to see your screen, they have to post this in their web-browser, and that is how you remotely screen share. This is if you all are not on the same network. Also if you want to share his/her screen they will have to do these steps for you.

  • Help needed with itunes

    help needed with itunes please tryed to move my itunes libary to my external hard drive itunes move ok and runs fin but i have none of my music or apps or anything all my stuff is in the itunes folder on my external hard drive but there is nothing on ituns how do i get it back help,please

    (Make sure the Music (top left) library is selected before beginning this.)
    If you have bad song links in your library, hilite them and hit the delete button. Then locate the folder(s) where your music is located and drag and drop into the large library window in iTunes ( where your tracks show up). This will force the tunes into iTunes. Before you start, check your preferences in iTunes specifically under the"Advanced" tab, general settings. I prefer that the 1st 2 boxes are unchecked. (Keep iTunes Music folder organized & Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to library). They are designed to let iTunes manage your library. I prefer to manage it myself. Suit yourself. If there is a way for iTunes to restore broken links other than locating one song at a time I haven't found it yet. (I wish Apple would fix this, as I have used that feature in other apps.) This is the way I do it and I have approx. 25,000 songs and podcasts and videos at present. Hope this helps.

  • Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

    Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
    I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
    When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
    I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
    I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
    Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

    Hi Nigel
    If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
    Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
    If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
    The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

Maybe you are looking for
