Why is ask to share someone screen greyed out when on yosemite, sometimes it is greyed out, other times it's not
can someone tell me when I try to screen share and ask if she will let me see her screen, the option to ask to screen share is greyed out. The weird thing, is, is sometimes, it's greyed out, and sometimes it's black. Can not figure out why that would be. Tried same thing with my Bro and the option was not greyed out.
Is there a glitch or what when its inconsistent about the option to ask to share their screen.
The quick answer is that certain Back to My Mac features are not working well in Yosemite.
Read some of the following to determine if there is anything you can do about it, otherwise we will just have to wait for Apple to fix it:
Setting up and using Back to My Mac with an AirPort base station or Time Capsule
OS X Yosemite: Share your screen using Back to My Mac

I have an airport extreme 2013. Why does my airport utility sometimes display IP addresses and other times the names of the devices? I want it to always display the device names.
The utility has had less and less useful information .. it might be time to simply find a different utility.
Fing network scanner. iphone and ipad.

This is very popular.. I do not know of what works well on Mac OS because i have installed 5.6 utility which of course has far more info than the later toy version. Plus using an Asus router which has excellent listing of all the clients.
Sometimes beating yourself up to make apple routers do what you want is easier solved with lateral thinking. -
Why can't I "Share My Screen"?
Friday I was in a trouble-shooting session via Adobe's "chat" trying to get my Captivate app reactivated on a new PC (Windows 7). The Adobe tech support person wanted to see the window I was looking at, so the support person gave me to the link in the chat window to "share screen, " which opened Adobe Connect. After Adobe Connect opened, I clicked "Share My Screen," but it didn't work.
Why would it not work? Might it relate to my company's standard Internet security settings?
Here are my Internet security settings:
Any other ideas?
Thank you!
JanHey Jan,
There's no need to purchase Adobe Connect - anyone can download the Adobe Connect add-in. The add-in is actually only required if you need to share your screen (we've never added that functionality to the Flash Player).
You can install the add-in manually, though there is also somethig we call the 'lightning install' process that happens when you try to share your screen without the add-in installed. The lightning install should only take a few seconds and it usually even works for customers in locked-down desktop environments. Once installed, the meeting room would re-open in the add-in.
In your case - it looks like the lightning install failed (or didn't begin). Perhaps IE blocked it, or perhaps there was a yellow bar at the top of your screen that you may not have noticed.
In any case, manually installing the add-in should resolve the issue.
I'd recommend using version 9 of the add-in since it's backwards compatible.
Thanks,
Alistair

Why is one of my dual screen grayed out when in full screen mode on the other?
I just added a second monitor for an extended desktop. When I go into full screen mode on one the other greys out. Is there a way to fix this or am i stuck? thanks!!!
No that is just the way it is. Apple still can't figure out how to do full screen apps. When you put any app into full screen mode it make a second desktop to run that app on. When that happen the second monitor, in a dual monitor setup, has nothing to do as everything is on the main monitor in different desktops.
You'll have to just expand the app to the max window size instead of going into full screen. Then you can drag/place different apps on each monitor. -

You can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. However, what you describe appears to be from abuse like dropping it which is not covered by the warranty. -
When I either leave my mac book pro open, but idle long enough for it to go to sleep or close the top and put it to sleep, the only way to light up the screen again is to diconnect the mag. connect power cord. Any ideas why and/or how to correct this problem?
So this is what I got when I took my computer into the apple store to have it diagnosed.
After the apple technician performced several tests, the only thing that fixed the issue was an SMC reset. Based on this he figures it is probably a software or firmware issue that is going on. He is a little concerend how ever that the fans of the comupter don't reach maximal rpm when the computer is displaying the issue. So he recorded the problem, and told me to just perform the SMC reset as needed for the next couple months and wait for a new update from apple. If the issue persists I am to go back to the apple store and they will take the appropriate steps.
He said an SMC reset doesn't hurt the computer in any way, so its safe to do. I am gonna contact blizzard and let them know about the issue as well because if it is software, it could be their game (Diablo 3) that is causing the issue as well. If I hear of anything new i will let you know. So get on the blizzard form and let them know of the issue to fix the problem faster.
Thanks for your help,

Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Time Machine. And I've tried rebooting the iMac, but I still get the top left hand quarted of the screeen blacked out. I can scroll back through the back-ups but the back square means that I can't see the details of any file.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
Hi,I'm new here and I think my problem were discussed few times before.However,I tried to follow the solutions similiar to my condition but it does not work.My problem is whenever I plugged in the HP printer (Laserjet M1132 MFP) usb to my Macbook Air,a screen will pop-out and read as 'the disk inserted is not readable by this computer'.I even bought my Mac to the Mac store but the situation remains the same.Okay with other printer but not with my HP.Sigh.The HP printer worked just fine with other computers (not Mac).I'm really sick of it.Please help me.I once plugged in an external hard drive & started Time Machine with it.The printer problem started after that.However, the hard drive plug-in works just fine.
Your attention of above matter is highly appreciated.Thank you.Here is what worked for me:
I reset the System Management Controller on my MBA. To do so requires shutting it down, keeping it plugged in to power (I also unplugged both USB connections), and then from a powered off state I simultaneously pressed Shift + Ctl + Option + Power (I did this once and it did not work so I tried again and did it 3 times just to be safe), then released them at once, then I pressed the power button. Problem solved.

I also tried uninstalling the using the repair Disk Permissions with Disk Utility and moved the HP Printer software accessories to the trash (you can search the web for how to do that but that did not solve the problem either). Neither of these options worked. -

I have a small LabVIEW program which writes random numbers very fast into a ASCII-file. I want that file to be copied to a new position every 10 min. Therefor I use a backup/synchronisation software which is doing a copy operation every 10 min. It works fine a certian amount of time and after a while I get either an LabVIEW error (LabVIEW: Fiel already open: NI-488 Comand requieres GPIB Controller to be System controller) or an backup-software error (couldn´t open file...whatever). I´m guessing, it has something to do with file-access but I don´t know why?!? If I run the LabVIEW program and I copy and paste the random-number-file with the windows explorer very fast (pressing ctrl+v rapidly) while LabVIEW is still writing into this file, no error appears. Can sombody help me?
LabVIEW 2011Hi Serdj,
you don't get a GPIB error, the error number has just 2 different explanations...
Well, you have two programs accessing the same file. One program just wants to make a copy, the other (LabView) is trying to write to the file. When copying a file that is written to you get inconsistent results! That's why one of both programs is complaining an error...
You can't have write and read access at the same time! (But you can have more than one read access at the same time...)

this does not happen on any other site i visit only on yahoo mail.yahoo,s answer to the same question is we dont know reason maybe its firefox.
I have had that happen with Comcast web mail, too. You can't hold the Ctrl key and then use the scroll wheel to do certain functions in the web mail software. That function will work in the web mail software, but you will also change the Zoom factor of the page. You have to remember to '''''reset''''' the Zoom factor immediately, Firefox will remember the Zoom factor and use that until you reset it to default.

Why does my quicktime player version 10.2 sometimes read AVI video and other times it will not recognize that same file. I have a video card that sometimes it will read then the next time it recognizes the card but will not open the video. Message says "quicktime does not recognize this file.
Whats up with that ??? Any help will be most appreciated!AVI is a container just like MKV, WMV, MOV, and MPEG. It is possible to use many different compression formats aka. codecs in an AVI container.
Think of the container - AVI as being an envelope, and the compressed video in it as a letter. The letter may be in a language you cannot read even though you know how to open the envelope.
Historically QuickTime did have some built-in ability to use AVI files and some formats in those files, this used to be further improved by installing the free Perian (for Mac only). However with Mavericks Apple have removed the ability for QuickTime X aka. QuickTime Player 10 to use AVI files, it now really only accepts MPEG4 or H.264.
It is still possible to install QuickTime 7.6.6 in Mavericks and if you use it and Perian rather than QuickTime X you can still use various AVI files.
Note: Mavericks also now no longer shows previews or thumbnails for AVI files for the same reason. -
IChat 4.0 - Share Remote Screen - "Slow Network" Problem
The iChat Connection Doctor shows that I don't have the capability to "Share Remote Screen" due to "Slow Network." I am able to have someone else share my screen, but not the other way around. The "Ask to share users screen" option is grayed out. I've tried it on two different cable modems, which are not slow. Does anyone know a fix for this?
