ARD 3 : Custom "Lock Screen Picture" not functional?

It seems as though things have changed with the way that the Lock Screen Picture feature is handled from ARD 2, whereas now the only working solution I have found is to swap out the Lock.jpg file located in "/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/S upport/LockScreen.app/Contents/Resources".
Obviously this is not an elegant solution, but at the present it seems to be the only approach I have found that works.
Has anyone been able to get the documented approach to work? Is there a different way that is easier to deploy?

As per the subject of this post, that technique does not seem to work now.
I've attempted the following:
- a custom "Lock Screen Picture" w/ and w/o an extension in /Library/Preferences
- w/ Quicktime & Preview as the associated applications
- a copy of the original Lock.jpg from the package as the file
None of these things work, whereas the approach I mention earlier does.
I guess I should have reiterated in the body of my message that the solution you point out is not working (at least for me).

FYI - it is still page 139 in the final manual, but now part of Chapter 8.

  • Custom "Lock Screen Picture" not functional?

    Hi, the Remote Desktop manual method of changing the lock screen picture still doesn't work for me.
    Am I doing something wrong?
    Method from Apple Remote Desktop Manual:
    1 Create a picture using a graphics program, such as AppleWorks.
    2 Save the picture in PICT, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, or any other QuickTime-compatible static image
    format.
    QuickTime-compatible movies or QuickTime VR objects cannot be used.
    3 Name the picture “Lock Screen Picture”.
    4 Copy the “Lock Screen Picture” file to /Library/Preferences/ on the client computer.
    PowerMac G5 Dual 2.3ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    The method listed in the manual has never worked and still doesn't, as far as know, with 3.1, though I haven't tested it with 3.1 myself yet. The only working solution I have found is to swap out the Lock.jpg file located in
    "/System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/AppleVNCServer.bundle/Contents/Su pport/LockScreen.app/Contents/Resources".
    Regards.

  • Custom lock screen GPO not working for domain users

    I have a WS2012 standard server with W8 Pro clients. I'm trying to force the lock screen to a .jpg however it's not working, it leaves the users with just a standard blueish screen.
    I have the "force a specific default lock screen image" enabled with the path \\MRS-DC\WP\mrc_lock_screen.jpg
    The GPO is being applied according to the results wizard, however no image. What gives?

  • HT4236 I'm trying to recover my lock screen picture file.

    I'm trying to recover my lock screen picture file. It is a very important picture to me and I cannot find it in the backup (not that it might not be there, I just can't find it). What do I need to do to recover this file?
    If it where the wallpaper I would just screen shot it, but unfortunetly it has all the extra stuff on it.

    Try deleting your iPod Photo Cache folder.  See:

  • Opening Smart Cover and lock screen picture

    I Would like to the see the beautiful lock screen picture when opening the Smart Cover (not Apple branded) and then swipe and see the input numbers option or just press Apple's Touch ID. Is it possible? Thanks ;-)

    Nope. Closing the Smart Cover puts the iPad to sleep and opening it wakes the iPad again. If you have a passcode set to lock at some specific interval and that interval ends while the iPad is sleeping it will, upon opening the Smart Cover present the number pad to unlock the iPad.

  • Rotation of screen is not functioning

    Rotation of my ipad air screen is not functional. I tried all possibilities at control center ,but it's displaying horizontal alignment only. Please advice.

    The home button is the one on the front with the squarish circle on it, the sleep/power button is on the top/side (depending on how you're holding it....you'll have two buttons together, which is hte volume/rotation lock and then around the edge from that is the sleep button)

    halfway down the page it shows you what button is where

  • Finally a working Custom Lock Screen Replacement:

    I am a happy camper now, I have been tring since I got my Droid X to find an app that would give a full working custom lock screen, this application is called "Widget Locker" and it seems to work flawlessly and the even better part is that you can add any of you widgets installed on your device to the lock screen and move them just like you are on you systems desktop, it supports Live Wallpapers and most importantly.... It cant be bypassed with the "Home" key like all others that I have tried.  You can have Standard Android, Sense Ui or iPhone designed lock screens and they all works well.
    Check it out at the market, the app again is called "Widget Locker" I think its worth a look.

    I have been looking for something like this for awhile but I was always searching for lock apps and this one never came up, I am assuming because the name really wasnt clear of what the app really was... I have installed so many app just to find one that worked the way it should, amd to my surprise when I decided to visit a site I havent in some time and they was talking about this app...  After installing free version for about a hour and tested it everyway I could think of, it because clear I had to buy it.
    Crazy how thing just fall in your lap when you are not looking..

  • Bought a Mac Mini.  at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function.  Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it.  Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used.  First and last Mac for me. But can I get something for the junk?

    I have pulled it out of the box and put 2 Mac approved mem sticks in it to boost it to 8 Gigs mem and it still locks up and freazes..  So many people told me Mac was the way to go...  1500 dollers could have bought me a great pc laptop.  Now I have a wirless mouse keyboard and a mac mini (aka Brick) that allowed me to donate money to a cause that is helping buildings and companies out side of the US.  While I have junk..  It's still under warranty and I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.  Again.. locks up and does nothing.  What can I do with this?  Toss it in the trash?  Any info on what I might do with it.. Please help!

    It would be most helpful if you updated your system information:
    Please reconcile the following
    at 18 day's old it started to lock up and not function. Took it in and they wiped and reinstalled it. Well at 24 day's old it's been sitting in the box not being used.
    ... I reinstalled the os after the new mem sticks.
    If your Mini is anything less than six months old it would be running Lion, not 10.6.1, nor would it have been necessary to "reinstall the OS". Any help that anyone can provide is predicated on your system configuration so it's important.
    If you are running Lion then boot your Mini while holding the D key. This will load Apple Hardware Test which will enable you to test your memory. "Mac approved" memory is sort of vague, and even memory that is allegedly designed to meet your Mini's specification may fail. There few reputable memory vendors.
    "Apple installed" memory is more meaningful, and indicates Apple has tested it and guarantees its function. Otherwise all bets are off with a claim of "Mac approved". You will have to verify that yourself with Apple Hardware Test.
    If your Mini was running, or ever ran OS 10.6.1 for that matter, it is close to three years old.
    You must clear up these uncertainties before anyone can help.

  • How do I set a customized lock screen in iOS7?

    How do I set a customized lock screen in iOS7?

    Thank you, but I need to put my name and contact info on an image to be the lock screen.  It is what my university really really wants us to do.  I used to be able to make a PowerPoint or Keynote page, save it as a jpeg, email it to myself and open it on the iPad, send it to cameral roll, then have the option to set it as the lock screen there.  Can't do that any more.

  • My lock screen picture is zoomed in. When I try to change it, I can't scale it, or try to zoom out to a position I like. It is permanently stuck in one position. I asked a friend that had ios7 and he can't relate, and has never seen it before

    To back to the normal scale you have to disable the parallax.
    Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Reduce Motion (turn off)
    You won't be able to put the wallpepr out of frame as ios 6 (earlier), but it stop to putting the annoying zoom.
