Why is the Share Screen button missing?  Anybody?  Anybody?

I have a MacBook Air OS X.5.5, MacMini OS X.4.11, and an older PowerPC OS X.4.11 all connected to a local network (the older PowerPC ethernet - other two wireless). I've setup Tiger on both the Mini and the PowerPC to allow Apple Remote Desktop and setup the Access Privileges on both . . . "allow user to do" everything.
Using Leopard on the Macbook Air, I have a "Share Screen" button for the Mini, but I have no "Share Screen" button for the PowerPC. I've tried everything I can think of . . . nothing seems to work to make the button appear . . . Any ideas? Anybody?

Hi Janet,
Make sure that the File Sharing access is ticked on in Sys Pref/sharing & and that the Screen Sharing access is ticked on in Sys Pref/sharing. (This is only applicable in SysPref OXS10.5)
In Tiger - make sure that in Sys Pref/Sharing/Services/Personal File Sharing is ticked on.
Did you try ticking the 'Guests may request permission to control screen' in access privileges - that may jog it?? I just connected to my laptop on 10.4 in this manner allowing permission at the laptop end, by doing so I knew the connection was available.
Short of that I'd install Leopard on all machines then screen sharing doesn't require the ARemoteDesktop to allow permission - it's replaced by a simple 'screen sharing' button.
You can also share screens via ichat under Leopard 10.5.
The other issue maybe how you have your network plugged - is your router that the PPC is plugged into the same unit that sends the WIFI signal? If there is two devices you may need to bridge the connection - as they are most likely sitting in separate IP strings. If you can plug the PPC into the same device (Airport Extreme?) then do that also. Good luck.

  • Why is the full screen button missing in iPhoto11 after Lion upgrade?

    I upgraded to iPhoto11 with Snow Leopard with no problems. Loved the new look and full screen view. Now that i've installed LION iPhoto appears to have reverted back to the iPhoto 09 look. For example, the full screen tab is missing....  WTH???

    I think the problem is that the full-screen button has been moved in the Lion apps. In Snow Leopard it used to be the bottom left, in Lion it is in the top right corner. Is it there in your case?

  • Why is the update all button missing?

    Self explanatory.

    @PogoPossom: Thanks for your efforts in answering this question. I faced the same mystery of the Update All button missing, even though I'm logged in. I tried powering down the iPad and restarting and that fixed the issue - now the Update All button appears. Is this a bug or a feature? 

  • Why is the panorama tab button missing from my tab bar

    Just downloaded Beta 4 and find the panorama button is missing from the tab bar. Your video showing how to manipulate tabs show the button on the right hand side of the tab bar, on my download it is missing why, also some of the other bars shown in your video are missing to, why??

    You can add it if you want, right-click on a toolbar and select Customize. You can then drag and drop the "Tab Groups" icon from the customize toolbar dialog onto the toolbars. You can use this method to add other icons to the toolbars.

  • Why is the "Reset Firefox" button missing??

    I have several FF preferences and add-on preferences that will not stay after a restart. I set them, but after I quite and restart FF, the old settings are back. I dutifully followed the mozilla support-site instructions and tried all options to fix the issue:
    1) check for locked preferences--nope, not locked
    2) User.js overides -- no such file
    3) Reset Firefox to default -- not possible "reset" button is completely missing
    I've used the reset several times, now, which was quite disheartening. But, it is very suspicious that I cannot find the reset button at all, now.
    Someone seems to have asked this before, but the answer to just make a new profile was horrifying. Either this button is supposed to be there or it isn't. If it is supposed to be there, then this is an extremely serious security problem. Something is wrong and I must find out what. Why is this happening?

    You only see the reset button on the "Help > Troubleshooting Information" page if you use the profile that is marked as Default=1 in the profiles.ini file.<br />
    If you do not have the "Reset" button then either use the Profile Manager to create a new profile or use the Profile Manager to start with the current default profile to get the reset button in Firefox.

  • Can't find the 'Share Screen' button in Finder

    Hi,
    I'm trying to screen share with the Mac Mini on my network, also running Snow Leopard. It's under 'Shared' in Finder and I can connect and view files, but I only see a 'Disconnect' button, no screen share button. What's the problem?
    Thanks.

    In the Finder, select the target folder/file and do a 'Get Info' (menu or right-click) - you should see a checkbox by 'Sharing'. Use that to enable/disable...of course there is also the Sharing option overall in System Preferences/Internet & Wireless...

  • Share screen button not appearing when remote from office

    When I am in the office connected via the local LAN the share screen button in Finder is displayed. When I am at home anc connected via broadband I can still see the server and shares but I have no share screen button. Is there a preference that needs to be set somewhere to enable the remote share screen or is it more likely to be a firewall issue with a blocked port?

    For sharing the screen of remote computers when screen sharing is enabled and the "Share Screen" button does not show up, an alternative is to launch screen sharing via Safari using the numeric IP address of the remote MAC.  The issue you are having is most likey caused by the presence of one or more firewall in the network path.  Here is a brief video demo on using Safari to launch screen sharing...

  • HT4528 Why is the guided access not turning off on my iPhone? Plus, the home screen button hasn't worked since I bought it.

    This morning I tried to turn on the guided access, which I quickly regretted. The home screen button on my iPhone 5 barely worked to begin with, so when it said "Guided access enabled, tap home screen button 3 times to exit," I knew I had problems. I turned guided access off, but my iPhone now will not exit the settings app, it will not turn off, it will not shut down, and it stays only on one screen. I am about ready to go to the Apple Store and find out what is wrong.
    Please help.

  • Lenovo G560 print screen button missing

    Hello,
    The print screen button is missing in my G560 laptop. Is there an alternate way to capture screenshot?
    Please help!

    Hi Poornima,
    Welcome to Lenovo forums
    As I understand that you are facing issue with laptop physically missing print screen button in your G560 laptop.
    As you are looking for an alternative option, I would suggest you use snipping tool for taking screen shots.
    This snipping tool is available in windows 7, to access snipping tool  go to search and type snipping tool, then the tool appears.
    Hope this helps!

  • D/l 4. As soon as I hit the maximise screen button, have nothing but probelms. Aargh, now using M/s internet explorer. 4 is a piece of *

    No probs until d/l 4. Hit the fit screen button (top left hand drop down menu including) & then problems started. Could not restore screen so as to see usual menu bar. Therefore could not restore a normal view. Could not get back to the default screen. I am unable to access the drop down menu once I have hit the 'fit screen' option. I disabled styles and other options to no effect. Have had to uninstall firefox.
    '''Edited for language - TonyE''

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.
