Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / March 2008iChat 4.0.2 Screen Sharing Question
Hi, A friend and me are experimenting with Screen Sharing through iChat. When I select him and go to "Screen Sharing" at the bottom of the Buddy List, I am able to select "Ask to share Leigh's screen" (ie his screen). On his computer, he is able to select "Share my screen with Danny" (me). Therefore I am able to see his screen on my computer. However on my computer, "Share my screen with Leigh" is greyed out and on his computer "Ask to share Danny's screen" )my screen) is greyed out. So he is unable to see my screen. How can we fix this? TIA, Danny > However on my computer, "Share my screen with Leigh" is greyed out and > on his computer "Ask to share Danny's screen" )my screen) is greyed out. > So he is unable to see my screen. Is there a difference in upload throughput capacity beteen you and him? Maybe iChat expects a minimum throughput to upload a screen image? Otherwise weren't you trying to share both screens at the same time by any chance? I'd say it is either one or the other  SignatureFrédérique & Hervé Sainct, h.sainct@laposte.net [fr,es,en,it] Frédérique's initial is missing in front of the above address l'initiale de Frédérique manque devant l'adresse email ci-dessus Frédérique & Hervé Sainct <h.sainct@laposte.net.invalid> wrote: > Otherwise weren't you trying to share both screens at the same time by > any chance? > I'd say it is either one or the other My mistake. I successfully did this (sharing screen from machine A to B, then sharing screen from B (including its view of A) back to A. The perspective effect (and wifi lag) is quite remarkable. H.

No, you can't have Leigh see your screen...of your seeing his screen at the same time as he's seeing your screen of his seeing your screen at the same time... Thankfully, Apple's programmers were wise enough to provide that graying-out override of the possibility...thus saving humanity from itself, and all scenes of humanity saving itself from itself while humanity is saving itself from...

I've done this with VNC. Its kind-of-Kewl! From machine 'A' VNC to machine 'B'. Now using that VNC connection, get machine 'B' to VNC into machine 'A'. The effect is amazing :-) Bob Harris > Frank > No, you can't have Leigh see your screen...of your seeing his screen at the > same time as he's seeing your screen of his seeing your screen at the same > time... he can, at least I did it one month ago SignatureFrédérique & Hervé Sainct, h.sainct@laposte.net [fr,es,en,it] Frédérique's initial is missing in front of the above address l'initiale de Frédérique manque devant l'adresse email ci-dessus |
