Apple Remote Desktop-client mac issue

     Dear all,

i don't no why.plz help me

Yes I've tried to ping the IP address and I get a reply.
I've just discovered this morning that the issue appears to be with Apple remote desktop.
The issue came up again this morning...I ended up shutdown ARD completely then loaded it back up, and guess what! The MAC address was showing up properly. I've discovered this is working for SOME of my issues. For the ones that weren't displaying properly I deleted the computer account out of ARD and then manually added the computer though a scanner import via single network address. The scanner finds the computer and it displays the correct Ethernet ID.
So I’m guessing there is a bug with ARD and its mixing up/displaying the wrong Ethernet ID of some machines....

Apple Remote Desktop 3.4 issue

Hi there,
In Apple Remote Desktop 3.4 server I added a client computer by doing a scan by IP. Once the computer was added to a group I was able to take remote control, however after a few minutes I noticed the ARD console was having issues authenticating to it (Even though I authenticated properly to get the machine in ard). The ARD console was reporting that the computer was offline, but I was still able to observe and take control of the machine.
I then noticed that the MAC address was the incorrect address. It was displaying another computer mac address that is on campus.
My question: is ARD getting the Ethernet ID/MAC address from DHCP? WINS? DNS? Open Directory? LDAP? or from the client it's self? or do I have corruption in my ARD database?
I am seeing this on a hand full of computers around campus (out of 500+ computers)
(If I remove the client - the same thing occurs)

Missing "sharing" option in system preferences after installing apple remote desktop client version 2.10

Hi All,
I installed a wrong version of Apple remote desktop client , 2.10 and the sharing menu under system preferences vanished. I tried to uninstall the Apple remote desktop with,
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2577
but no luck, but after restarting the macbook pro with lion 10.7.2, i see my sharing option enabled but when clicked, it says the system preference has to restart and confirming that it restarts in 32 bit mode and even after clciking the sharing option it says, "you can't open sharing preferences because it doesn't work on an intel-based mac"
. So i strongly believe the apple remote desktop is creating the issue.
Can someone help how to fix this please?
Thanks

Same problem here. I manage several remote Macs, but I have one MacBook which I can get no ARD access to (black icon). I can ping the IP, I can SSH into the MacBook, the ARD and Remote Login services are checked ON, the firewall is OFF. The ARD service is configured to allow my admin user full access - however, I get nothing. I have no trouble getting into the other Macs.
Any ideas?

HT5170 About Apple Remote Desktop client 3.5.3, what is it, is the question

Seeing this - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5170?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Apple Remote Desktop client 3.5.3 is included in the OS X Lion v10.7.4 Update,
and as a standalone update for Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard clients. This update provides general OS compatibility fixes.
That's a About explanation?
I have an update waiting - not applied of course.
No Idea what it is - or what it's for.
So go to link to find out - and it's Zero result.

It's the client for this application:
http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/
Apple bundles the client with all installations of OS X so administrators don't have to install it.

HT201332 where do i find my Apple Remote Desktop client

I have the Apple Remote Desktop client installed on my Mac but cant find the application anywhere.? Where do i find it to start using. Thanks

Like varjak paw said, the client is only part of the ARD solution. By enable the client on your computer, you can connect to it from another mac on your local network using Apple Remote Desktop.
If your looking for a free altertive you could try VNC. The limitation of ARD and VNC is that without configuring your firewall you won't be able to connect to your mac from over the internet.
If you want an easy way to connect to your mac from over the internet I would suggest checking our logmein.

Where to get Apple Remote Desktop Client for MAC OSX 10.6 8

Hello, I have MAC OSX 10.6.8 and I wanted to know where to get Apple Remote Desktop that is compatible with OSX 10.6.8. The one that is showing in apple store for download will work only with the lastest MAC OS.X - Thanks all.

Welcome,
The Client is built into all OSX base software so there is no download. It's the Admin (controller) software that is downloaded

Apple Remote Desktop, 2010 Mac Pro, and six displays

Under 10.8, we were able to operate a 2010 Mac Pro (MacPro5,1) with 2 x HD5770 video cards and 6 x LED Cinema Displays (the mini DisplayPort models, two of them via IUSB-powered Atlona DVI Dual-Link-to-mDP adapters, via Apple Remote Desktop.
Under 10.9 (currently 10.9.2), all the displays still work, but ARD is having significant heartburn: if it is able to connect with the ARD agent on the display syste, the display arrangement is incorrect, and no amount of swapping mDP cables, moving the displays around in the Displays System Preference pane, and/or rebooting appears to help. Oh, and the most recent end state, when I finally managed to get the menu bar on one of the displays on the top (physical) row (we have them arranged 2 x 3, in order to display 4096 x 4096 pixel movies of spacecraft data), flummoxed ARD completely --- it simply refused to connect with the display machine at all. (I can ssh into the display system and use a cabled keyboard and mouse as well, but that's not a long-term solution: we have to be able to operate remotely, as we did under 10.8.) Oddly, ARD works OK, if not perfectly every time, with the target system when it's only connected to four or fewer displays (regardless of whether they're connected to mDP ports or via the Atlona devices). The host ARD system is another MacPro5,1 with 24 Gbyte of RAM; the target has 96 Gbyte.
Reading the release notes for ARD 3.7.2, it sounded as though all our issues would be addressed, but alas, it is not so: we're still stuck with ARD trying to but unable to open a "Control" connection to the display system.
Does anyone have any experience, positive or negative, with a similar setup under 10.9 and ARD 3.7.2?
Is there any way to clear all the settings in ARD? I can't find any .plist files with client system-by-system info in them, and I suspect they are (appropriately) encrypted because they can contain passwords, or at least store the hashed passwords in encrypted fields.
Thanks in advance for any clues for the clueless.

IOS Remote Desktop Client Logon Issue Prompts to Logon 3 Times with RDGW

I have an issue when connecting from the Remote Desktop client iOS on multiple iPads/users.
First a little background: We have an RDS Web Access / RDS Gateway (2012 R2) setup and properly configured. We can logon using it just fine from the Mac OS version of the app, Android version of the app, or from a Windows PC. When we try to
connect via the iOS app we get the prompt to logon 3 times. Due to security reasons, we do not want them to store their credentials on the iPads, which is the only method I have found to eliminate the triple password entry. It only prompts once on the Mac
OS version, Android version or from a Windows PC.
The password isn't being entered incorrectly and the servers are not registering any Audit Failures for the logon attempts. Can you assist?
Additionally I would like to recommend the addition of a feature to be able to setup remote resources but prompt for the password on app launch for security reasons. That way they would have to enter it once but then they could access any resources needed.
Thanks,
Nate L

I am not comfortable posting the entire log file but let me give you the high level summary. The settings section for the active connection:

    port = 3389;

It then attempts to connect to the InternalServerHostName.domain.local.

It then displays the same settings again with the exception of an additional line after the gatewayId line:

Then it goes through the interface list, not using any proxy, correlation id, then resolves name:

Then it displays the same settings again except for the gwAutodetectState line changing to:
gwAutodetectState = kConnectionGwAutodectedHTTPSTried;
Then it connects ok. I went to our firewall (MS Forefront TMG) and monitored for traffic from the iPad iOS App (based on network it is on). I don't see the initial connection attempt at all, which is expected because according to the log above it looks
like it tries to connect to the host directly...which it shouldn't?
Then in the second attempt I see it trying to go to http://ExternalRDSGatewayHostName:443/remoteDesktopGateway/ which again it shouldn't be doing because that URL (the remoteDesktopGateway) is not part of the RDSGW or RDSWA 2012 R2 IIS
config or am I missing something? It should be going to Rpc or RDWeb right? or do I need to allow that path through too?
Thanks,
Nate

Can Apple Remote Desktop Client 3.8 be used by hackers to hack into my account!

I received an update from Apple to install the Remote Desktop Client 3.8 and am now wondering if hackers can use this software to control my laptop!

Don't worry! First off, you already have Remote Desktop Client on your computer. The update is just an update from 3.7 to 3.8. It's a component of the operating system and does not give anyone remote access to your computer unless you have configured it to allow access. Even then, the remote person or computer needs to be given access to an account on your device or know your credentials to initiate connections. At the very least, you are making your computer MORE secure by keeping the remote client updated, not less, as the update may contain security related fixes to the client.

Apple Remote Desktop Client slow in mini

I'm using Apple Remote Desktop from my PowerBook. I can control an iMac G5 without any problems, but controlling my new intel Mini is very very slow... i can only work more or less if i put the screen without colors!
Is this normal? I can't understand why i can work remotely with the iMac very well, and so bad with the mini.
Mini Dual Core Mac OS X (10.4.6)

pergaps it's from the wirless connection on the new mini.. I heard they are wired... I guess it's not a remote problem, but a network one, since you have them connected..

Apple Remote Desktop - connect to computer after their password changed?

I have a problem with Apple Remote Desktop which is driving me up the walls.
When I observe or control a computer, Apple Remote Desktop saves the username and password so that next time I'm not prompted for a username or password.
Problem is, when the password on the computer changes and I once again try to control it, Apple Remote Desktop simply comes up with an "authentication failed" message. There is no option to put a new username and password in. I cannot find any option to delete previously stored passwords.
Currently I'm resorting to deleting:
/private/var/db/RemoteManagement/ClientCaches
/private/var/db/RemoteManagement/caches
It is extremely frustrating doing the above each time a computer's password changes!
I must be missing something. Does anyone have a better way of going about this?

Hi Zachary!
Have a look at RealVNC at http://www.realvnc.com/download.html. Install this on your Windows computer and be sure to configure a password for VNC connections. You should then be able to see your XP system in Apple Remote Desktop.
Keep in mind that the VNC software is free (unless you choose to purchase a version with more features) but the Apple Remote Desktop client is a commercial product http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/.
If you need a different (free) client for your Mac, I suggest using the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection client found here http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=remotedesktopc lient. This only works with Professional version of Windows XP and not the Home version. Or you can downlod a VNC client for Mac such as Chicken of the VNC found here http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/.
Hope this helps! bill

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

Remote Desktop Client Update 3.7.0

I'm using a 2012 MacBook Pro with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5. When I visited the Mac App Store today, there was an Apple software update available for download - Remote Desktop Client Update 3.7.0. I don't own or use Apple Remote Desktop and to my knowledge, it's not installed on my mac in any way. Has this happened to any other non-users of Apple Remote Desktop?

The Apple Remote Desktop CLIENT is part of the operating system and present on every mac. If you haven't engaged Remote Management in the System Preferences/Sharing pane, it can't be used. But it CAN be updated! Hence the message.
The ARD administrative package used to control a client is not on every mac and is something that must be purchased. But to control other computers the client software must be there, so Apple just has it as part of the OS in case you ever need it.
