Apple Remote Desktop version 3.5.1. to version 3.5.2

I originally purchased Apple Remote Desktop version 3.5.1 from the App Store. Apparently Apple Remote Desktop version 3.5.2 has been released. Guess what??? The App Store does not have the update for version 3.5.2. I downloaded the update from the Apple Support Downloads page and installed. Guess what??? Apple Remote Desktop is still at version 3.5.1.
I originally recommended to my mother to purchase a MacBook Pro and I could remote to her computer to undo anything that she has done...laugh. At almost 70 years old, it's a challenge... I was able to remote to her computer for a while and now can't. I guess version 3.5.2 was supposed to fix this issue. She has ARD version 3.5.2 on her computer. We both have Lion version 10.7.3 installed as well.
How am I supposed to get the update for verson 3.5.2 installed? Why doesn't the App Store have the update? Am I not doing something correctly?
Any suggestions would be helpful and I thank you in advance.

If your mom had any kind of issue with her internert connection, Her ISP might have her reset the modem. Some times a power outage can cause a modem to revert to default settings. And any time it a modem is reset to defaults the modem has to be re-configured for ARD.
ARDAgent is the OS built-in tool for remote viewing / controlling the screen. If you want to SSH in, you need enable remote Management Login on your moms computer. (it's in system prefrences, sharing) If you do SSH, ARDAgent can be access from the command line to start/stop/restart and reconfigure ARDAgent. But just like ARD, you need the right ports open on your moms firewall/router to make the connection.
You could check to make sure the firewall is off on your moms computer. (system prefrences, securty, firewall tab) you could have her uncheck Remote Management and recheck it to restart the ARDAgent service. (system prefrences, sharing)
If your moms IP address changes frequently. You could look into a subscription service like DYNdns. It requires software on your moms computer, but basicaly it report to the DYNdns server what ever your mom's current IP address is. And in turn give you a DNS address you can use to contact your moms firewall. some thing like mom.dyndns.com. Even with DYNdns, you may find you need to delete and re-add your moms computer from ARD to connect.
logmein dosen't require DYNdns or port configuration. Because it reports into the logmein servers so there no ports need to be opened.
If you talk to your moms ISP. They would need to open the ports 5900 for UDP and TCP. Along with 3283 for UDP and TCP. MAlong with 22 for TCP (SSH and file transfer). And of corse when they open the ports they need to route to your moms computer consistently.
I'm surprised they would help you with this. I don't think my ISP would be as acomidating.

About Apple Remote Desktop 3.5: version detail

Please
What's the number or reference — in parentheses — that follows 3.5?

Not always.
I would like to know what string is seen, in parentheses, by people who have obtained version 3.5 of Apple Remote Desktop through an update (example) or through the App Store (UK example).
Sorry, I could have clearer in my original question. (I intentionally avoided the expression build.)

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?

HT200213 How do I purchase Apple Remote Desktop but install a previous version for my 10.6.8 Mac?

I need to install Apple Remote Desktop to help a client but the App store only shows that the latest version is compatible with OS X 10.7. I found where I can download the 3.5.3 version of the app (compatible with OS X 10.6.8) but when I try to install it, it says it can't install because it can't find where the app is currently installed in order to update it. I don't want to pay the $80 for the latest version only to find that it won't install on my 10.6.8 and still be unable to install an older version of the app that DOES work with 10.6.8. Any ideas what I should do? I don't have a problem paying the $80 but I just need to make sure I will be able to use the software I pay for.
Please Help.
Thanks

Ok, maybe I have answered my own questions in doing more research. I guess if I want/need the latest version and I have OS X 10.7, I can purchase it from the app store. If I need a previous version, I can purchase a retail packaging version of Apple Remote Desktop 3 from various vendors online. Once purchased and installed, I should be able to install update 3.5.3 to be on the latest version my OS will support. Does that sound correct? I just want to make sure I do this right.

HT5422 Can I install an earlier version of the Apple Remote Desktop from a disc on OSX 10.7.5?

I cannot install an earlier version of the Apple Remote Desktop from a disc on my OSX 10.7.5 It says that the installation requires an earlier OSX version.
I cannot upgrade with the RemoteDesktopAdmin361 available on line, since no Remote Desktop application exists. Any suggestions?

Assuming your disk is for ARD 3.x, try this:
• Insert your ARD CD
• Open in Finder
• Right click on the Remote Desktop.mpkg and show contents
• Navigate to contents/installers
• Drag the RemoteDesktopAdmin.pkg file onto the workstation and install
• Run Software Update
• Upgrade to the latest version of the admin application before attempting to launch the app

Apple Remote Desktop and controlling over VPN

Hi All,
I had a question about whether something was possible and if so if someone could point me to instructions/how-to on setting it up.
I have three Macs I am administering. One is an iMac that stays in the office on the network. Two are MBP's. One is always at a remote location, the other comes in and out of the office. I work remotely administering the server and the three systems. I have the latest version of Apple Remote Desktop and obviously can access the server fine. I was wondering though if there is any way besides having the person give me their IP address every time that through the VPN I can see their system, then access it in Remote Desktop just like we are on the network together? Basically they connect to the network via VPN if they are remote and I do the same thing and then access their machine.
I hope that makes sense. I went through different parts of the guide for ARD but didn't come across a method like that described in there.
Anyone with opinions? Thoughts? Chants of I'm an idiot? haha
Thanks

Yeah for some reason I cannot get this to work right. Even if I scan the 5 VPN IP's I have setup I cannot see their machines when I am connected to the VPN. I tested it the other day by connecting one of the systems to an outside internet connection, then logged it into the VPN. I then connected my own to a different source and logged into the VPN, but Remote Desktop just won't find it.
Just not sure why it doesn't work. I can see the computers on our internal network though, just not any connected via VPN.

Apple Remote Desktop and Itunes

I am using Apple remote desktop to connect to several servers with several users on each server. When Itunes is playing and I try to fast user switch, it will stop playing itunes on the user I am switching from.
Is anyone familiar with any problems like this? It is blowing my mind!
I am running the latest version of both Itunes and ARD.
Thanks!
Mike

It is if you are trying to stream it.
Users may want to stream their music into a third party program such as Ventrilo (as I do) to share their music (but not their libraries) with other listeners and speak on Ventrilo at the same time. You need two user profiles running Ventrilo at the same time, and two user profiles running iTunes.
When I roll over to User Profile #2 after setting up iTunes to stream into Vent in User Profile #1, iTunes stops playing. This is a recent change. It's annoying.
How do I change it?

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.

Using Apple Remote Desktop to Deploy Filemaker Pro 10 /Create Filemaker pkg

I need to deploy Filemaker Pro 10 to a number of Macs in our office, all of them with Apple Remote Desktop installed.
I have the FileMaker Pro 10 installation file (it's listed as an .app) and the text file called "assisted install."
If I have these two files in the same folder, I can run them and it will allow myself (or the user) to install FileMaker with only a few "continue" clicks.
I am, however, trying to streamline the process by creating a package (.pkg) so that I can deploy the software using Apple Remote Desktop (I'm using version 3.2.2).
I am, however, a Package Maker novice, and am not sure if this is more pain than it's worth.
Is there anyone out there who has done or tried to do something similar to what I'm trying?
Is there another way using Apple Remote Desktop (besides controlling each individual pc to install the program) to deploy FileMaker Pro 10?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the suggestion. Since I don't want to spend money, I decided to go with InstallEase from LanREV.
As I was getting ready to write this off as done, one possible problem occured to me.
When FileMaker installs, it automatically puts in the username as whatever the current installing user is. You might not be able to answer this, but I'll ask anyway.
If I use InstallEase to take a snapshot of my system before install, then after, and use that package to deploy... is it going to show my name as the username on everyone's systems, or will it figure it out on its own?
I'm going to see if I can scrounge up a test mac to see if my theory proves correct or not, but in the meantime, feel free to answer if you already know what will happen.

IMac at work, iMac at home. (Latest Yosemite and Apple Remote Desktop updates installed) Need to work from home at night. I don't know how to set my permissions so that I can just control my iMac at work.

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.

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

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.

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
