Unable to resize Screen Sharing screen

Hi,
I am seeing two issues with Screen Sharing when accessing a desktop Mac from a MacBook Pro with a 20in external monitor attached to the laptop.
Using the Screen Sharing application to remotely control the Mac Pro when I connect the size of the Screen Sharing window varies, most of the time it is small (about half screen width and two thirds screen height) but sometimes it is almost full size on the monitor. The Fit Screen in Window button setting does not seem to affect this.
Furthermore when I try and drag the bottom right hand corner to increase the size of the Screen Sharing window it will not allow the window size to be increased.
In 10.5 Leopard the Screen Sharing app could be configured using defaults but Apple in their, err, wisdom, have disabled them it seems in 10.6 Snow Leopard. So...
(1) Is there any way to make/configure the app to always display a maximized screen size when connecting to a remote Mac?
(2) Why can I not resize the window by dragging the right corner using the standard Mac window resizing mechanism?
Thanks.
Tim

Try playing around with the window positioning. There is no definite way to keep a window's size/position, but try playing around with it.
I have dragged the window around but it makes no difference.
(2) Why can I not resize the window by dragging the right corner using the standard Mac window resizing mechanism?
You may not be able to make it bigger, but can you make it smaller?
Yes I can make it smaller but when I drag to make larger again it stops at the original size and you cannot drag further.
I noted that the screen resolution setting in the monitors preference pane of the Mac Pro had been set at 800 x 600 but it was set to 1680 x 1050 (the res of the 20in monitor) so perhaps Screen Sharing does not support that res and it gets reset when you create the connection?

Mackintosh user - unable to resize screen using pinch

I am unable to use the pinch feature on my Mac to resize the Firefox browser. I read the community blog about another Mac user who experienced the same problem and his solution is beyond my expertise. Nevertheless, I would really like to use Firefox instead of Chrome or Safari because I enjoy the independent community branding of Firefox. However, without the simple ability to use a primary feature of the Apple computer to resize the browser makes it a more unlikely transition. I have never had resizing issues with Chrome -- why is it so with Firefox? And why is it so laborious to accomplish?
Please help. I really want to a sole user of Firefox. Thanks

Hi, I think that works only with safari alone.

Unable to resize window to fit screen

I am having an issue in which some of the windows from a variety of applications no longer fits on my screen, and I am unable to resize the window because the handle for the window (that I would normally click on and drag to resize) is located in an area of the screen that is not currently visible...
Specifically, when using firefox, if I try to add a new bookmark, the add bookmark window appears and the bottom of the window is off the bottom of the screen (even with the top of that window appearing all the way at the top of the screen. Another instance occurs when using a Photoshop plugin called noiseware, in which the top and bottom of the plugin window appear off the screen, thereby making it impossible to access certain features and functions of the plugin...
I have tried trashing the preferences for each application and for the plugin in hopes that that would help, but it does not...I have also attempted the change the resolution of my monitor, but its alread as large as possible...
Does anyone have any suggestions as to ways in which I can go about resolving this issue? Any help would be sincerly appreciated. Thanks!

Fix for anyone unable to use screen sharing

Hi guys
Not so much a question as a fix for anyone who has been unable to use screen sharing since yesterday.
Apple have started to turn off parts of MobileMe however one of the issues is if you still have MobileMe signed in on your Snow Leopard install Screen Sharing will stop working to any computer.
To get things working again go into System Preferences -> MobileMe -> Sign Out.
It should now be fixed.
Hope this helps someone out.

@Jay Gamel specifically, but to anyone who is having problems with Screen Sharing and thinks that since they don't use MobileMe that it must be something else ..
I have never used MobileMe, not even the free trial.
When I saw this post, I looked at the Mobile Me pref pane and since I had never logged in, there was no way to sign out, so I kept looking elsewhere.
Hours later, I read this email again and saw how timely it was, so I went back and looked again.
Even though I had never signed in, my AppleID was pre-populated in the Member Name field.
As soon as I cleared out this field, Screen Sharing started working again.
So, not only should you make sure you are signed out, but you should wipe out any information in either the Member Name or Password field.
I also noticed that, even after I solved it, as I continued to look at the issue, at some point the Member Name re-populated and sharing stopped working until I cleared it out again.

After upgrading to Yosemite, I am unable to share screen with Macbook Pro

After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10 on a 2008 MacBook Pro I am unable to "Share Screen" using my authorized user account. It worked fine before I upgraded to Yosemite.
I can access "Share Screen" by "requesting permission", but of course this doesn't work unless I am sitting right by the MacBook Pro to give myself permission, which defeats my original purpose for using "Share Screen".
I attempted to add another authorized "Share Screen" user account, but was unable to access the list of add "Groups and Users" on the host MacBook Pro from the "Share Screen" dialog box. The dialog box pops up, when I press "+" to add another user, but the list of users fails to appear. I assume the list of authorized users for screen share has somehow become corrupt.
All other ways to access "sharing user" accounts appear to be working properly. I can add and remove other "sharing users" without problems. For example, I can add a new authorized "file share" user and share files without problems.
I ran Disk Utility in Recovery Mode and normal mode and corrected all errors, and user permissions on both machines. I also ran "resetpassword" from Terminal in Recovery Mode and "reset" user permissions. I am not an experienced Terminal or Recovery Mode user though.
I also tried turning the Firewall off, to no avail.
I am attempting to access "Screen Share" on the MacBook Pro via a Macbook Air 13" manufactured mid 2013 also with Yosemite 10.10, however, I also attempted with an older MacBook Air which experiences the same problem.

Thanks for the idea but it did not work, I do not know why it is asking me for a password which I never needed before for a guest to use the computer? I have tried everything and I do not know which password it wants? I do not see any option for a password for the guest account, to create one or delete one or modify it? Maybe this bug\problem will be addressed in a future update?

SIM Error - Unable to find screen - Create Item Ticket and Signer error

Hi,
When I bring up the SIM application from Eclipse, everything works normally.
But I navigate to ITEM TICKET SCREEN, and here when i click on Create , to create an Item Ticket,
ideally It should open the Item Ticket Detail Screen,
instead it throws an error,
2013-01-14 11:30:16,855 ERROR [AWT-EventQueue-1][application.NavigationManager] Unable to find screen: oracle.retail.sim.shared.swing.itemticket.ItemTicketDetailScreen
and the screen is not opened, it just maintains the current screen which is ITEM TICKET LIST SCREEN,
but this is present in Navigation.xml screen and then i am able to find it in one for the project folders,
Any idea why exactly I am getting this issue, any way to make it work fine.
it was working sometime back, and i dont think any change regarding this has been made.
sim version :13.2
in a totally un-realted scenario (that's what I think, there is one more class "NEWRetailItemSearchProcessor", for this I get an exception,
signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package
I have two questions,
1. Is it because of the signer Issue, I am getting the other error -"*Unable to find screen: oracle.retail.sim.shared.swing.itemticket.ItemTicketDetailScreen*"
2. How do I resolve the signer issue,
it says,
class "oracle.retail.sim.closed.simclient.editor.NEWRetailItemSearchProcessor"'s signer information does not match signer information of other classes in the same package
but in this package "oracle.retail.sim.closed.simclient.editor" -- there is no other class except the one mentioned NEWRetailItemSearchProcessor

to fix the signer issue
1) open the jar which contains required class file( i mean the one which gets called when u click on item tick button)
in winrar software
2) and remove below files
manifest.mf and mykey.sf or somthing.sf
then resign your jar and deploy it.
i hop this would work fine.
some time what happen when we sign the jar it does not removes old sign instead removing it enter one more entry in that file
hence it has two entry.
its better to follow above steps.

Resizing Screen Resolution for Specific Apps?

Hello team,
Is it possible to resize screen resolution for specific applications? Most of my apps look fine at 1024x768, but there are a couple of older OS 9 apps that I need to run (talking school computers here) which are a bit on the small side when viewed at that resolution. Can I somehow set things so that when those applications are launched, the resolution changes to 800x600, and then reverts to 1024x768 when they're quit again? Any and all details about this will be most appreciated, and I thank you in advance for your help!
Electronically yours,

LCD panels must be used at their native resolution. Whatever it is for you monitor is what you must set it to.

Have you tried the resize button in the window corner upper right. There are 3 buttons one closes the window one minimizes it without closes it and the other one toggles between full screen and a smaller screen. Click the last one and see what happens.

Since upgrading to Lion, i am unable to take screen shots. i get the message that i don't have permission to save files to the place where SSs are saved. how can i regain the ability to save screen shots? thanks

First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion. I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

Have you tried resetting your iPad? You will not lose any data. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
