I'm trying to use screen sharing for the first time between my 27" mid 2010 iMac and 15" MacBook Pro Retina late 2013 using both OSX 10.9.4 on a local network using Back to my Mac feature. I enabled screen sharing and made sure Remote Management is disabled and also on firewall the screen sharing has allow incoming connections enabled. I also have my Back to my Mac checked on my iCloud settings.
And so I opened Finder window on both computers and on the sidebars from each of the computers it showed the shared devices. So from my Macbook or iMac, I click on the device and then click on the share screen button and a menu popup asking me how i want to connect either as a registered user or using an Apple ID. I selected using and apple ID and it automatically provide a drop down showing my apple id and I click connect but all I get is an error message saying "Authentication failed to iMac" or vice versa.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any other option for me to do screen sharing without using a third party app? Please advise. Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
