JPFotoz Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 I hope this isn't repeated, but I can't see to find an answer. Using the latest version of Synergy (1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2). Build date: 3-16-2017. Setup is : Host is PC, client is a MacBook Pro Setting: Host: Configure Interactively Setting: Client: Autoconfig checked with IP address (ethernet) in the menu box. Problems: When PC screensaver activates -- the Mac's doesn't start. It is set to start after 10 minutes. The next day (this is a work computer) - the Mac's screen saver is not activated, but the PC's is. Once I login on the PC - then the screensaver engages. Sometimes I lose keyboard and mouse control on the PC - but they are active on the MAC. - I am unable to resort control. The only way is to do hard reboot of the PC. Any advise is appreciated.

Paul Suarez Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Please provide more details about your machines (OS, 32/64 bit, Synergy version installed, connected to the network via Ethernet or Wi-Fi, specify which one is the server). Also, post a screenshot of both machine's Synergy interface and the Server Configuration interface on your server machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPFotoz Posted July 11, 2017 Author Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi.. PC / SERVER: Window 7, 64 bit. Ethernet connection and Wi-Fi (both are always enabled) Synergy (1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2). Build date: 3-16-2017 MAC / CLIENT: MacBook Pro, Sierra v 10.12.5 WIFI connection to the network Synergy (1.8.8-stable-25a8cb2). Build date: 3-16-2017 I'm attaching screen shots. I've also noticed that copy and paste from the client back to the server doesn't work with the mouse. I can only right click and copy - then use keyboard to paste. Also file copy and paste has never worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPFotoz Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Hi Paul -- Tried that.. didn't work. The mac's screen saver never gets activated. It's set to 10 minute delay. What else can I try?

JPFotoz Posted August 29, 2017 Author Share Posted August 29, 2017 @Joe Abasolo anything else I can try for the screensaver issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve B Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I would suggest getting Microsoft's Mouse without Borders. I was having the same issue with screensaver and power functions. Not any more. And, it's free. Please note... I think it only works with Windows, so I would read the doc's before installing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
