(MoC) Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 For some reason when I try to do a screen sharing session with my friends the little box down there is blanked out and it is not possible. I'm running 10.5 on a Hack (see sig) and have had no issues with it so far. Everything works like a charm except this. Anybody know a tweak?

lord_muad_dib Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 you need a webcam to let it be available, it sounds strange, but that's it and the other end must have ichat 4 too ofcourse Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89635-ichat-screen-sharing/#findComment-639560 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mebster Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 check out an app called Jing Project < http://www.jingproject.com/ >. I don't know about the application but the video tour is brilliant. Especially the narrator. EDIT: Do you both have Leopard?

(MoC) Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks and look at post #5 again. iBooks don't have iSight. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89635-ichat-screen-sharing/#findComment-641710 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thysm00 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Yes, i've read that but maybe there's a difference between intel and ppc machines or maybe it's searching for the machine type. I'd like to get it to work! If someone knows if it's working on a mac pro, it could be helpfull (most of them don't have the isight). Thanks and look at post #5 again. iBooks don't have iSight. EDIT: i tried with my cam plugged in and sadly, it doesn't work... If someone finds another way of getting it to work...

thysm00 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Ok i found the reason why it did not work: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6673559 The last post says that web sharing could affect it and i just disabled all the sharings except the ssh and screen sharing and it just does work I don't know if it's the cam, but i think it's not! You'll have to try! Good luck Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/89635-ichat-screen-sharing/#findComment-644720 Share on other sites More sharing options...
