Apple Remote Desktop 3.72 Shows Update in Store

I have been a many year user of Apple Remote Desktop, and have updated the administrative application routinely as available, as well as updating all of the client machines which I control.
My MacBook Pro Retina machine running OSX Yosemite with all of the current updates where I have ARD Admin installed is now showing that I need to update ARD to 3.72, in spite of the fact that ARD admin shows 3.72 as the current version installed on the machine.
When I go to Apple Store, Updates, the only update displayed is ARD.  When I attempt to update, I get the message:
"Remote Desktop is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
This is not a crisis, but I would prefer not to be notified that I need to update, when I cannot, every time I go to Apple Store updates.
Any help appreciated....
Bill

I love it!
Apple: "You can safely ignore these messages."
Whew, I guess we had all been unsafely ignoring these messages till now.
Again, Apple: "You do not need to install this update [3.7.2] if you already have Remote Desktop 3.7.2 installed."
Thanks for clearing that up.
I'm sure the Apple design guidelines have something to say about sending messages that should be ignored.

  • How can I get Apple Remote Desktop to disappear from my App Store updates list?

    My Apple Remote Desktop software shows up in my App Store updates list.  But I have already updated it to version 3.6.1 and it shows as "Installed".  It is greyed out and will not go away.  Any ideas on how to make it disappear is most appreciated. 

    All the suggestions I have read have not worked for me.
    But you can try:
    Running Software Update from the Apple Menu
    Logging in to the Mac App Store with the account that purchased ARD
    Deleting various Apple Store .plist files
    NB I haven't tried removind ARD and reinstalling.

  • Apple remote desktop will not show my  computer screen on class screens

    Hi
    I hope someone can help. i have just set up a mac suite running latest OS X 10.10 using apple remote desktop. The system is a bit sensitive but mostly works fine. The odd computer drops off etc.
    However, I want to be able to show the teacher computer on all of the class screens as the projector screen is quite small at the front of the class. When I set up screen share it says it is working but it does not show on their screens. They do get a screen sharing message on the menu bar of their computers but nothing happens. Am I missing a setting? I think I am doing right!
    thanks
    Tim

    Hi jsyedu129,
    Wondering if you found a solutions to your problem. I'm having the same problem. Can't not share my screen with classroom computers. Love to know if you have got this to work.

  • Apple Remote Desktop Update w/o ARD

    Software Update pops up "Apple Remote Desktop Update 3.3.1" on both of our Macs. We do not have Apple Remote Desktop on either computer. I am in the habit of installing any update that shows up but this one is a puzzle. I guess it wouldn't hurt to click install since it wouldn't find anything to update. What goes?
    Bob

    In every Mac, there's a component called ARD Agent. What it does is that it allows your computer to be added onto a Apple Remote Desktop list. That update updates the agent because when Apple releases a software update for the real Apple Remote Desktop, the other components need to be up to date as well in order to work properly. I don't know if this is the correct explanation, but I guess this is roughly how it works.

         If they have set up port forwarding for you already then that is different.  In that case, then you could be experiencing the bug with the most recent release of ARD (3.7.2) and in particular ARD 3.7.2 and Yosemite ARD version 3.8 clients.  It has been reported numerous times in the forums and to Apple that since 3.7.2, clients are frequently unavailable to connect to despite there being no network issue between the remote computer and client computer.  I have not seen anyone report it who was working from outside the LAN to inside the LAN, but I have the same issue with a number of my own computers that are simply on a different subnet, so it stands rot reason that it would happen from a port forwarding location.
         I am sometimes able to resolve the issue locally by SSH connecting into the client computer using Terminal on my admin machine and restarting or relaunching the ARD agent on the remote device, then trying to connect to it again after about 30 seconds.
    The Terminal commands for this procedure are as follows, though you might need to include a port number from outside the LAN:
    First:
    ssh ipaddress -l adminusername
    (example: ssh 192.168.1.1 -l macadmin)
    Second:
    sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -restart -agent
    After that, waiting about 30 seconds and trying to observe or control usually works, though the computer may still fail to show an online or lit-up status indicator.

  • Apple Remote Desktop admin update now won't open 3.5.1

    So a few days ago I updated Apple Remote Desktop admin and now the program won't launch. It says that the admin version is not compatible with the client. I went to apple's software updater and it doesn't show that anything needs to be updated on the client side. Any suggestions?
    Running on:
    Mac Pro
    Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Okay thanks,  dragging the old app to the trash and logging into the app store did it.  What threw me a bit is that it was asking for my credit card info in order to process the download.  Evidently it only was doing this because it had an old card stored in the system.  I don't THINK it charged me to download again .

  • My Apple Remote Desktop won't update in the App Store but it won't update. Any suggestions?

    I just updated to Yosemite. Now Apple Remote Desktop shows up in the App Store as an update. However, double clicking yields an alert that it can't be updated through the store. The Alert advises that I have to go to the Apple menu Software Updater. That didn't work either.

    I also have ARD 3 from the disk and just updated to Yosemite. Its up to date at Version 3.7.2 (372A19).
    The "update" the App Store claims is Version 3.7.2 - Released Mar 17, 2014.
    The error message I get is:
    We could not complete your purchase.
    Remote Desktop is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates.
    This seems like a bug to me.

  • How to set Updates with 11.3 when using Apple Remote Desktop for installation?

    So for all pre-11.3 versions of Flash Player on OSX, I have just pulled out the "Adobe Flash Player.pkg" installer package from the installer .dmg and used Apple Remote Desktop to deploy Flash to the Macs I manage.
    However, when doing that with Flash 11.3, this leaves the "Updates" setting in the Flash Player System Preference set to "Notify me to install updates".
    I'd like to push something that would set this to "Allow Adobe to install updates".
    Is there a way to modify the .pkg installer to have the System Preference set to that value (or push/copy some other .plist file to the clients to have that setting enabled?)
    Thanks!

    I poked around a bit and the file seems to be:
    /Library/Application Support/Macromedia/mms.cfg
    I'd like to get some confirmation from Adobe that this is the correct file to push, though (it seems like it as it only contains this):
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1

  • 2 computers show Offline Apple Remote Desktop client?

  • Apple remote desktop 3.7.2 has update that can not install. Product was purchased as shrink wrap

    I have just updated to Yosemite on my 2009 MBP and am informed that I have an Apple Remote Desktop update to apply in the App Store.
    Product was purchased as shrink wrap a few years ago with 3 user licences. However I can't apply the update
    Looking at the version numbers they seem the same at 3.7.2
    How can I get this updated so I am not pestered in the App Store?

    I was able to download the ARD 3.5.2 Client and take the customisations from the generated custom client installer.
    To do this you need to expand the Custom Installer to a directory somewhere (in this example I'll expand it to a directory on the desktop)
    pkgutil --expand CustomClientInstaller.pkg ~/Desktop/CustomClientInstaller
    Inside the expanded package, there are 3 files which are appended with "_entries" which seem to contain the customisations that are specified during the package generation process. So, we need to copy these to a temporary location...
    cp ~/Desktop/CustomClientInstaller/RemoteDesktopClient.pkg/Scripts/Tools/*_entries ~/Desktop
    Now, what we need to do is expand the ARD Client we just downloaded (3.5.2) and apply the customisations to it...
    pkgutil --expand RemoteDesktopClient.pkg ~/Desktop/RemoteDesktopClient
    cp ~/Desktop/*_entries ~/Desktop/RemoteDesktopClient/RemoteDesktopClient.pkg/Scripts/Tools
    pkgutil --flatten ~/Desktop/RemoteDesktopClient CustomRemoteDesktopClient.pkg
    You should now have an up-to-date customised ARD client. Note that I have not fully tested all of the options, such as creating users. It may be necessary to look at this post if the newly customised ARD client has problems creating a new user.
    Hope that helps

  • Apple Remote Desktop update 3.5.2

    since Apple Remote Desktop update 3.5.2 when I access to a computer using two screens I get black screen or partial displays

    Hi Cheryl,
    I'm not using "Mirror Displays" so I was not aware that a bug was also existing there [Apple really worked like pigs for this update of ARD admin]...
    So with ARD admin 3.5.2 the "working" screen arrangement is the following:
    (no "Mirror Displays" => dual screen)
    Now to downgrade to ARD admin 3.5.1 they are two ways depending where you bought it:
    - AppleStore/Retail [my case]: download the DMG (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1424), trash the application "Remote Desktop" and try to install fresh from the DMG. If a problem occurs, you will need to remove completly ARD: do a Spotlight search for "This Mac" with "filename containing" "remotedesktop" with criteria "System files" "are included" and trash everything (that is consistent with ARD), try to install again from the DMG.
    - AppStore: no chance for you, only TimeMachine might help you, or if you manually backup every application after each update.
    Good luck.

  • Apple Remote Desktop Update Kills Quicken 2007

    Today this update (3.8.2v1.1) to Apple Remote Desktop Client loaded and now Quicken 2007 will start but will not quit and after telling it to quit it's windows are screwed up with toolbar missing. Only change to my system since yesterday's no problem use of Quicken was this update. I don't use Apple Remote Desktop, but I DO USE QUICKEN 2007 which is now unuseable. How do I get rid of this update or the ARD application or otherwise solve this problem?
    Russell G
    iMac 24' 2007 OS/X Mavericks 10.9.5

    That's not a thing that can happen.  Your problem with Quicken is unrelated to the Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1.
    There were several OS updates recently, which could have affected Quicken, though more likely its just something else that went wrong with Quicken that is causing the problem.
    You should try to clear your Caches and Saved Application State folders in your user Library to see if it helps:
    1. Quit all open applications (especially Quicken)
    2. Click on Finder in your Dock
    3. Select the "Go" item in your Menu Bar and while it is open, hold the Option key on your keyboard
    4. Click on the "Library" option that appears in the list
    5. Finder will now display your user Library folder
    6. You will find both a folder for Caches and one for Saved Application State
    7. Open, select all contents, and trash all contents for both folders. DO NOT TRASH the folders themselves, only the contents.
    8. Immediately select the Apple Logo in the Menu Bar and log off or restart your computer.  When prompted, uncheck the "reopen windows when logging back in".
    9. Log back in after log off/reboot. Try loading Quicken.
    If you are still having trouble, contact Quicken support: http://quicken.intuit.com/support/mac.jsp

  • Updating Acrobat using Apple Remote Desktop

    I'm pretty sure I already asked this yet I can't find the post so I need to ask again.
    I need to update Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9 remotely - without having to touch every Macintosh the software resides on.  I would like to create a cumulative package and install updates using Apple Remote Desktop.  I have looked at the Enterprise Deployment software and documentation, yet I don't use Adobe Creative Suite - I only use Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9.
    I have users with varying versions of Adobe Acrobat 9 and Adobe Reader 9, so downloading one version update won't work.  What I need is a cumulative updater containing updates from 9.0 through 9.4 for both products that can be deployed via Apple Remote Desktop.
    Is this possible and if so, how?
    Thanks for any assistance.

    We have the same problem. We can mass desploy CS5 with a package made with the Adobe Application Manager Enterprise Edition application. But Acrobat is not supported by AAMEE. Making my own package based on the information on http://www.osxdeployment.info/wiki/CS5_Repackaging_Guide doesn't work for us.
    We have more than 300 Macs and it's impossible to do the installation manually.
    Adobe should provide a standard pkg for Acrobat Professional 9.3 (part of CS5 DP & WP Suite).
    FYI a trial of Acrobat X is nowhere to be found for Mac: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=acrobat_pro
