Screen Sharing in Lion from iPad

Thanks for the tip, whero. I, too, was having trouble but just entering my user name fixed the issue.

I have a MacBook Pro with 10.7 and just bought RealVNC Viewer for iPad for $9.99. Followed there instructions to turn on remote management in the sharing area of the system preferences, set my password and I was able to connect to my computer with the ipad but I too am only getting a grey screen with a cursor. Nothing else. Any other ideas on how to get this to work? Is it a 10.7 problem or RealVNC Viewer problem? Thanks.

BWCW, I thing the problem has to do with Lion now allowing multiple users to screen share and have their own screen and input. Before multiple users could be on but you saw the same screen and fought over the mouse. Try loggin our of the macbook pro before you loggin with your iPad. I think the problem has to do with the same person trying to loggin twice. If I log out of my Mac before i try the ipad , I can login fine but I have only tried it a few times because I don't want to log out of my mac when I leave. With remote management and VNC password set plus file sharing to windows SMD in the preferencde and turn ARD off (the only way I can sync appature using lion now) it works about every third or 4 try. If you can keep a blinking cursor on the loggin page and get all the dots of the password, it usually works. When you don't see the dots in password you must disconnect and try again. This is not a solution but I mention it because I may not have tested the loggin out before trying ipad real VNC enought to be sure it works everytime. I am exploring apple's Screen sharing which works great going from mac to mac. Now I need to figure out how to make it work on the iPad.

Another easy fix is Remote VNC, Just $.99 and it works great with lion. I have not tested it off the network with cell data but should work fine there. The key seems to be to add your user name and password when you set up your account. I the Real VNC would work but I can't figure out how to and the username. I would think Real VNC would be fixed shortly but I can't find anything on their web page.

You have to login to system via SSH (Remote Management must be turned on before) and issue:

#sudo killall loginwindow

Every time we login remotely via VNC (Screen Sharing) launches loginwindow daemon. His concurrent sessions interfere with each other and so causes a issue, I suppose.

Real VNC released an update for the iPad/iPhone, I move to better products but I assume the acknowledge loggin issue has been fixed on iOS for connecting to a Lion Mac. The last time I check Real VNC for Lion was still waiting for an update as it will not Launch under Lion.

Here is a simple and easy way to fix this and get your iPad working again with Lion.

The simplest way to fix this I have found with Mocha VNC. Is go to the config of Mocha VNC, enter your Mac OS X user ID and your Mac OS X password. Next time you connect it will now bypas the login screen and just take you straight to your desktop.

For others - on the login page and beyond, are you finding that your clicks are several inches to the right? This is why I thought the login screen wasn't working - my clicks were being sent off away from where I was tapping on my ipad. Even once enabling the Lion login in Mocha VNC, on my desktop things seemed not to be working until I figured this out. For example: tapping on the apple menu in the VNC cilent may actually click the Help menu. Seems consistently off - not sure if this is a problem with Mocha or the VNC server, but I've sent a message to Mocha support also to see if it's known. Anyone else seeing this?

Greetings everyone,
