Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1 lag problem

Hello,
Since updating to Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.0, I have had this problem. I just updated to 3.7.1 and the problem is still occuring.
I am using RealVNC Viewer 5.0.6 Windows 64bit on a Windows 7 machine to connect to my Mac through Apple Remote Desktop VNC.
It's tricky to describe the problem, but I'll do my best:
Remote desktop is quick and responsive (I'm using it over an internal network)... Except for the last frame of any sequence of frames. For example, if I scroll a window quickly, the intermediate frames showing the scrolling come through quickly... But the last frame that my screen settles on takes up to a full second before it comes through.
You can reproduce this problem most easily by opening up a terminal, typing a command, then pressing return. Or, press return multiple times in rapid succession: The first few returns come through fast, but the last one always comes through slow, up to a full second later.
I never had this problem before the 3.7.0 update. Any progress on fixing this issue?
Thanks,
Allen

I agree the new Remote Desktop 3.7.1 is very laggy. All my machine are up to date with patch, same issue..

  • Apple Remote Desktop 3.5.3 Mouse Lag

    Hello Everyone,
    I work in an environment where we use Apple Remote Desktop to control, observe, and administor about 50 machines.  All of our machines are running Mac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and ARD 3.5.3 with the exception of one or two which have not been upgraded past 3.4.
    Our problems began when we updated remote desktop from version 3.4 to 3.5.3.  Ever since we have been experiencing unbearable mouse lag when controlling another screen.  The problem comes and goes on each machine with no clear reason.  When we switch to screen sharing instead everything is smooth as butter.
    I'm posting on here becuase I haven't found information on this issues elsewhere and have run out of ideas as to what the issue could be.  Can anyone help!?  We have plans to move everything up to Mountain Lion but that is a ways out yet so we need this to work in the interim like it always did before.
    Thanks in advance!
    John

    So start with the basics.  Use Terminal for any of these commands.  Replace <ip_address> with the address of the server.
    1:  Can you ping the server at the address you believe it is at?
    ping <ip_address>
    2:  If you are getting a response with ping, then there is a system alive at the other end of the ping.  Now confirm that ARD's port is also active and responding with:
    telnet <ip_address> 5900
    If you get a response then at least the port is answering.  Use the Control and ] keys to terminate the connection and then type quit to exit the telnet shell
    3:  Now try to ssh'ing back into the machine using the new credentials established during setup assistant.  The command will be something like the following:
    ssh user@<ip_address>
    The user will be the short name created during setup assistant and the IP address will be that discovered above.  If you are able to ssh into the machine, you can follow the previous kickstart commands to stop and start the ARD service on the server.
    If you are unable to access the server, then you may have accidentally forgotten your access password.  This is possible and as much as I do not want to admit it, I have done it. 
    Any chance you have a monitor to connect this to?
    Reply back with your progress.

  • Apple Remote Desktop and Microsoft Dynamic DNS

    Ok, so we are trying to manage Mac in our enterprise. We have bound them to the ActiveDirectory domain so that we can centrally control log on authentication. Now we bought Apple Remote Desktop in an effort manage updates/push packages/make configuration changes, but there is a slight problem: The apple remote desktop application needs to know the IP address of the machines to be able to manage them but our work force is mobile so they VPN into our network and receive an IP from the DHCP pool.
    How, then, can we get the mac to update its IP address in our Microsoft DNS system like our Windows machines? Is there an equivalent "register this connection's entry in DNS?" feature in MacOS?

    Hi Paul,
    Are you trying to connect to a computer that's connect to the internet with wildblue excede? or are you trying to connect to a computer some where else while your connect to the internet with wildeblue excede?
    Ether way, have you considered an altertive solution? For instance LogMeIn?

  • 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?

  • Can I use Apple Remote desktop to connect over the internet?

    I would like to use Apple Remote Desktop to connect back to my MacPro desktop at home while I am on my Macbook Air at work.  Will I need a static IP from my service provider to do it.

    Hi
    It's not absolutely necessary but it would be more useful if you did have one. Most ISPs will require you to have a business class broadband service at your home rather than a residential one. These cost more (a lot more in some cases) than a residential service. Call your home location's ISP and discuss it with them.
    If the cost is too much then you could go for a DynDNS account which is free. The details of this account would be configured in the whatever you're using as a firewall at your home's location. This assumes the firewall has the facility to add such an account. Thereafter it's just a question of configuring the port fowarding feature of that firewall.
    A potentially 'big' problem though is whether or not your workplace will allow that kind of traffic out of their network. This would be something you'd need to discuss with them first.
    HTH?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • How do I search threads within a specific support community, i.e.. Apple Remote Desktop?

    Very frustrated with new layout of discussion forums...
    How do I search key words within threads within a specific support community?
    For Example I want to search the phrase 'couldn't collect' within the Apple Remote Desktop community.

    Thanks for your response. I'm well aware of the global search field.
    My problem with that is if I search the term 'couldn't collect', (in reference to a very specific Error message generated while running a report via Apple Remote Desktop Task Server) I get a slew of useless hits that have either the words 'couldn't' and/or 'collect' or any variation of those words, such as 'collection'.
    I'm looking for responses that are very specific to Apple Remote Desktop only. I don't have hours to weed through thousands of responses that have no bearing to that at all.
    Searching within specific sub-communities was possible before this new layout. Whatever happened to the booelean searches and searching by phrases and the 'advanced' searches? Do they still exist?

  • Apple Remote Desktop - Users constantly appear and disappear in All Computers List

    I have a problem and I am thinking it is probably some kind of broadcast error on my network, but why not question Apple Remote Desktop in the process? Computers seem to flicker from available to unavailable. I think they are actually on. If I send a task out while it shows availbe it does complete even though it flickers on and off throughout the package install. However it will not let me send out installs when it say unavailable (as expected). If I am lucky I can catch the systems when they show available and the installs work. I have deleted preferences and re-installed ARD. I am using 3.7
    Personally I think it is my switches and Bonjour. Does anyone else have this issue and a work around?

    Hey Madoser,
    I had the same problem. I administrate around 30 macs, which I undrestand isn't much.....I was having issues with ard after updating to mavericks. I decided to do a complete erase and reinstall on my machine. This was't because of ard, mind you. I was having all kinds of problems. Nothing unexpected as far as I'm concerned but after doing things, my ard problems went away. It's only been a day, but everything is working like a dream.
    I'll make sure

  • 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 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)

  • 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 can click little snitch

    I have set up apple remote desktop over the net and I am trying to admin the computer but when I am trying to run a program, I can not control little snitch firewall and click to let the program connect to the internet. why cant apple remote desktop click the settings in little snitch that pop up when an app wants to connect to the internet? I thought we were suppose to have total control?

    I have observed the same problem with Little Snitch on the client Mac. Everything else on the client is responsive except the LS dialog box. To get around this, I have opened System Preferences -> Little Snitch and turned it off on the client. You just have to remember to turn it back on when your done.
    It's not a solution, just a workaround...
