2012 rMBP Desktop Issue w/ Mavericks

Hi all,
I'm on a 15" retina macbook pro from 2012, and use multiple desktops for different applications. Ever since I upgraded to Mavericks, dekstops 2 and 3 have been randomly switching places, which is getting very annoying. While it's not an enormous issue, it messes with my workflow, and just generally is frustrating. Anyone else experiencing anything similar? If so, has anyone found a fix?
Thanks!

Thanks! Was this a setting in Mountain Lion? If so, I wonder why it never affected me before. Regardless, seems like a rather silly setting for people like me... obviously it tends to totally screw us up!

Apple Remote Desktop issues in Mavericks

After upgrading to Mavericks from Snow Leopard on my MacBook Air, Apple Remote Desktop skewed all my lists. I can no longer control any of my client machines (even after I updated to clients to 3.7.1) and the overall performance is choppy at best. I am able to control client machines that have a static IP i.e. Servers etc., but ARD does not see any DHCP clients when scanning ethernet or wireless and will not let me control or view any existing clients that I maintained prior to installing Mavericks. Anybody else experiencing problems with ARD in Mavericks?

You might try to turn off the firewall on the client. Yes, this appears to be a bug. If you can connect to the client thru SSH you can use this:
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --getglobalstate
That should return:
Firewall is enabled. (State = 1)
Then you can run:
sudo /usr/libexec/ApplicationFirewall/socketfilterfw --setglobalstate off
That should return:
Firewall is disabled. (State = 0)

Remote Desktop issues with Mavericks

Hello, my company allows remote access to my desktop via Array Networks secure mobile connect. Since I moved to OSX I get "connection closed" within 1-5 minutes of connecting. Using Firefox browser, Safari has never worked with it. Thoughts?
Really don't want to go through the pain of going back to Lion.

Have you checked for an update?

Horizon View 6.1 and Windows 2012 as Desktop OS

Hi Community,
we are currently running a PoC for Horizion View 6.1. Various reasons require to use Windows Server 2012 r2 as guest os, afeature which should exist in 6.1 according the release notes.
When trying to create a linked clone pool with a windows 2012 template we get the message that the guest os is not supported. I know that we only have a 2012 Standard Edition for the PoC but would have DC Edition once we decide to go forward with the solution.
How des View check the edition of the template and is there any possibility to get this working since we need to move on with the poc?
Thanks an kind regards,
- Matthias

So today got some word from their office. They were using RDP from 8AM until 12PM all was working fine. Then got back after lunch about 1PM and got a few connection lost errors when they tried using RDP again. Its weird since they didn't have disconnects
in the morning, and started having them after lunch.
Also noticed, that two pc were not using RDP and were disconnected as shown in task manager. And they still got request timeouts.
Maybe this is not a remote desktop issue?
TASK MANAGER
The 2 disconnected pc's ping screens:

Win SRV 2012 R2 - Desktop heap allocation failed

Win SRV 2012 R2 - Desktop heap allocation failed
Every 4-5 days, i get this warnging message :
Warning Win32k (Win32k ) A desktop heap allocation failed.
20 minutes later, this Distributed DCOM error popups every 10 minutes until i restart the server.
The server {73E709EA-5D93-4B2E-BBB0-99B7938DA9E4} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout
Pleas help!

Heelo babajeeb69,
This may help to mend the issue running on the servers:
Open regedit,and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\SubSystems
Then found the following value: "Windows SharedSection=X,Y,Z.
Where X,Y and Z are the values you'll found there.
The Desktop heap the the "Y" value.
Double this value, and then reboot the box.
Hopefully the issue will dismiss for good.
It turns out that too many interactive services are running on the machine, since this services allocate some from the Desktop heap, when it becomes depleted the Win32K will starve for memory even with plenty of memory and disk space.
Att,
Felipe Cobu

Turning Bluetooth On Renders my WiFi Inoperable- 2012 rMBP

Hi,
Whenever I turn the bluetooth on on my 2012 rMBP, the WiFi ceases to work. At all. Once I disconnect/turn off bluetooth, the internet again works perfectly. This has been tested on multiple WiFi networks. Is this a widespread issue? Is there a fix for this (I'm out of warranty, unfortunately)?

Same with me and I have the same:
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)
I use and external display, mouse and keyboard. Now - post Yosemite and post 10.10.1 update I don't. Quite a bad problem for Apple.

-All MS updates were loaded.
-Added these changes to the registry to keep alive the connection: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Gateway\Transports\Rpc-----HttpKeepAliveTimeout=dword:00000001

Any suggestions?

Company-wide Desktop Picture on Mavericks Clients

We're looking at rolling out Mavericks on our systems at work, and I have set up a test machine to make sure everything will work as expected. We have a Lion server that is using Workgroup Manager MCX (instead of Profile Manager, which will change) to distribute policies to all the workstations. All of them are working well except for the desktop picture.
Now, I understand that the setting for desktop picture in Mavericks is no longer in a plist, but in an sqlite database. Is there any way to set the desktop picture using the Workgroup or Profile Managers for a Mavericks client? I don't want to replace the default picture on Mavericks systems because we update the desktop picture regularly.
EDIT: I should add, I tried to write a login script to do it, but I couldn't get it to run. The script has this single line:
tell application "System Events" to set picture of every desktop to "/Volumes/Groups/Everyone/Wallpapers/Current.png"

Your script is a kludgy hack that won't prevent users from changing the Desktop for the entirety of their session .
The correct way to do this is with Managed Preferences for OSX also called 'MCX' as you have already seen.
There is a tweak that should still work on 10.9 to import all the Apple based 'managed preference keys'.
Get Workgroup Manager for the same OS as the server (you may need the server admin tools, it varies, search for both). It may need to be the 10.9 version on Mavericks.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/#workgroup%20manager
Open WGM on a client, connect to the server (do not work in the local node!). Select the group or computer group you are managing & select the 'Preferences > Details tab'. Click the + button to add the following…
/System/Library/CoreServices/ManagedClient.app
This will give you the power to manage a lot of extra keys, find the 'Desktop picture' in the list, double click it, decide how often to manage it (once = first login, often = at each login, always = what it says ).
Select 'Often' & create a New Key, click the new item & select the key to manage (in this case Background). It should autofill the other values (e.g. image path & the path to the current Desktop. Sometimes Always won't create the key correctly, so create it inside often & drag it down.
Once all that is saved login as a member of the managed group & it should pull down the desired MCX prefs (reboot).
Your Macs will need to bound to the server for this to work & I haven't tested on 10.9 (WGM doesn't want to apply these to the local node, which may indicate it isn't possible.
I'd strongly suggest you copy the desired image to the Macs in question to increase reliability, or host it in an auto mount that appears in /Networks.
Good luck

I use an older Macbook Pro from 2007 with OS X 10.7 – had issues with Mavericks, so I uninstalled it. I want to get a trial version of AE CS6 but I need to know the specs for it.

Why my 2009 desktop with OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself

Why my 2009 desktop using OS Maverick keep shutting down by itself?

When it shuts down, the screen blanks (more like turns grey, like the color of the background when on the log in screen). It reboots immediately, so at first the problem was presumed to be restarting, not shutting down and powering back on. The computer is usually very warm, and definitely gets hot easily. A test was run determine when the fan would turn on to start cooling the computer by running digits of Pi, and the tester concluded it was too close within the safe temperatures before it would permanently affect the computer. (I believe this was within 5ºF, but I am not 100% sure.) The times when it will turn off and reboot do not seem coorelated with much if anything. It has done this at multiple times, among running varying amounts of programs and for different lengths of time: right after logging into the user, within a minute of after it has turned off and rebooted, within 5 minutes, 10, 30, even 60 minutes of turning off and rebooting, when only running one program such as Firefox, when running various programs such as Firefox, iTunes, Microsoft Word, Sticky Notes....
Basically, it makes no sense.

Is the MacBook/Air still covered under any AppleCare plan?
If you are in the US or Canada, the Apple Store with Genius
bar can have a look at it, and diagnose it for free; you'd have
to set an appointment at a store nearest you, for them do do it.
Not sure how old the unit is or how it was used, charged, or re-
charged; but those are the kinds of little things that may affect
battery life or subtract possible useable Cycles off its life.
Some users of MB/Air models (and MB/Pro, etc) had noticed
a loss of battery capacity after an upgrade to Mavericks. So
that may be some kind of revision to how the battery is seen
by the newer OS X. No idea if Mavericks uses more power.
To see an expert or specialist about this issue, for advice, &
or test/diagnose may be an idea. Could be it needs a new
battery. How does the rest of the battery/power specs look?
Perhaps the MacBook just wants to get out on the town...

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

Any fix for the PC based network printer communication issue with Mavericks?

I just signed up for FIOS and am not experiencing your problem (had enough other ones instead).
Go to mail preferences ~ click on a mail account ~ click on the advanced tab. The only settings that worked for me were: port 110 SSL OFF, authentication: Authenticated POP (APOP). If I remember correctly when I first set this up another window opened and I typed in my password and never had to do that again.
Hope this helps.

Having trouble maintaining remote desktop connection with Mavericks. What is this about needing RDC 3.7.1 with Mavericks. I downloaded RDC 3.7.1 but it does not replace RDC 2.1.0 previously installed.

Lucky you, it did not work for many users (which as it should be) so MS produced a new version, for ML and Mavericks.
It's in the App Store, for free.
FYI, I assume that you were attempting to post a picture, no one can see it (except maybe you) because it is on your computer rather than the forum server.

Use the small camera icon in the editor toolbar to post it.
It also looks like you attempted to use Apple Remote Desktop, which does not do Windows.

Terminal Server Licensing 2003 to 2012 mixed environment - issue

We have 1 2003 Terminal Server and 1 2012 RDSH. We recently
migrated 2003 Terminal License Server to new 2012 RD Licensing Server.
On 2012 RD Licensing Server we have been instaled 20 - 2012 RDS Per Device Cal and 20 - 2003 TS Per Device Cal.
I sometimes works on Terminal
Server 2003 or 2012. And here is a problem with issued Terminal license for Device. When I Logoff from
2003 TS and then I log in to 2012 RDS - the 2012 RD Licensing Server issued new license for my computer on this same name. When I do the same in the reverse order - the 2012
RD Licensing Server issued next new license for my computer. I do this several times and now I have 10 permanent 2012 RDS license issued for this same computer with this same name, and 5 temporary 2012 RDS license issued for this same computer and 1 temporary
2003 TS for this same computer.
I have no idea how resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide.
Lukas
