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.

  • 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.

  • The licensing cost for Apple Remote Desktop is not clear

    I can see that Apple Remote Desktop costs $80/£55, but is this per-seat or is this the admin software?
    The only other information I can find is that there is some unlimited admin cost option, but the costs are really very unclear. Please can someone state what the costs are?
    I'm not an IT admin but am looking for something for our IT department because I need to deploy fonts and Office templates to around 80 Macs.
    If ARD is extortionate, what are the alternatives?

    The copy of ARD sold in the Mac App Store is the adminstration application (the client is bundled with all Mac OS X installations), and is for working with an unlimited number of clients. For personal use you are licensed to install the admin software on every machine you own or control. For business use you need to purchase one copy for every computer on which you wish to install that admin application. This is detailed in the software licence which you can access and read by clicking the License Agreement link in the page for ARD in the App Store.
    Regards.

  • Apple Remote desktop does not start

    Hello,
    I just bought Apple Remote desktop (3.7.1) on the App Store.
    When I launched it on my iMac (17", 3.4Ghz/8Gb/1Tb) under OSX 10.9.1 the menu of Apple Remote desktop appear but nothing else, no window.
    When I put my cursor in the menu the color wheel runs, when I click on it, nothing appen (=App frozen).
    I uninstalled it (with CleanMyMac2), repaired the disk permissions (with Disk Utility), redownload Apple Remote Desktop (from the AppStore) and I have the same problem when I launched it.
    Could you help me? I need to establish a professional connexion to an other country.
    Thank you

  • I tried to set up a remote desktop between my macmini and my work computer.  I hit cancel and now the Remote Desktop will not close.  I cannot shut down my computer either.  How do you close a non-responsive application.  I have tried everything!

    I tried to set up a remote desktop connection between my MacMini and my work computer.  It was not working so I hit cancel, but then the big black screen of death came up and will not go a way.  I cannot close my computer nor quit the remote desktop connection.  How do you close a non-responsive application?  By the way, I am new to Mac and it is not as simple as hitting the Control, Alt, Delete.  Please help.

    Try ( alt + cmd + esc ).  Gives you a menu of running applications, and a chance to "Force Quit".

  • What Apple Remote Desktop is NOT?

    Is there a way to run a Remote Server at my home computer and then connect to it from my MacBook Air when I'm on the go? My computer at home is on a dynamic IP via cable modem and router. So I have no fixed IP to connect to.
    However I know there are remote desktop apps for iPad and iPhone that are able to connect to their server software running on your Mac at home, regardless of it's IP. I've been having trouble finding one for desktop OSX clients. iOS4 can't be the only OS that has this.
    Thanks for any assistance to my newbie self.

    iOS apps that have this capability do because they are run through some hosted service and do not connect directly to the computer. The hosted service is responsible for tracking any IP address changes. You can use a similar service, such as LogMeIn, if what you want is to be able to take control of your home system, or something like Slink if you want other services. Or you can as Templeton suggested set your desktop up with DynDNS or a similar dynamic IP/domain name service so that you can connect to the system by using just a domain name.
    Regards.

  • Remote desktop connections not showing in server manager 2012 for one of the session hosts

    This is a three server deployment with one server being the connection broker, gateway, licensing, etc with two session host only servers.
    rdmgr
    rd1
    rd2
    Using the server manager on the rdmgr connection broker (or any other server for that matter) yields only connections from rd2 with nothing from rd1 displaying.  
    Users can connect to rd1 without issue.
    At one point rd1 had the connection broker role installed also but high availability was not setup.  I removed the role hoping it would correct the problem but no luck.
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    1. Is rd1 part of a collection?
    2. On rd1, in Computer Management, is the broker's computer account a member of the local RDS Management Servers group?
    3. If you run the below command do you get a list of sessions:
    query user /server:rd1
    4. Any errors/warnings in either the broker's or rd1's event log?
    Broker: Event Viewer\ Applications and Services Logs\ Microsoft\ Windows\ TerminalServices-SessionBroker
    rd1: Event Viewer\ Applications and Services Logs\ Microsoft\ Windows\ TerminalServices-SessionBroker-Client
    Both: System and other logs

  • Mac mini server - MATLAB - Apple Remote Desktop

    Hi all,
    I am thinking of buying a Mac mini server, upgrading it to 8GB of RAM memory. I will use it mainly as follows:
    - to be my HT"PC"
    - to make intensive use of MATLAB
    I know (think) that I will have no problems with the HTPC part, but I am wondering if it will be powerful enough for MATLAB. I have a mid-09 MacbookPro and it works fine there. And, I would like to access my MATLAB from the University, so, I need to know if Apple Remote Desktop will be fast enough to work properly with my server at home...(my uni internet connection is great, and my domestic connection is fine). I have read that ARD is quite good working with computers that are in the SAME network, but i don't know how it compares when the computers are not in the same one.
    Thanks in advance

    As far as being able to run Matlab, there should be no issue.
    Accessing it over a network might be.  I have never done it
    myself, but some software, especially pricey stuff, can some
    how identify it is being accessed over a network and refuse to
    run.  I have run into this occasionally when connecting and
    attempting to run things on a PC remotely.

  • Install mavericks apple remote desktop

    Can you install Mavericks with Apple Remote Desktop?

    Not directly no. But you can copy the installer over to the remote machine and execute a Unix command to do the installation. It's the "installer" tool, but I don't have the exact command usage at the moment. man the installer command and see if you can figure it out. I can look it up if you need some help.

  • How can I remotely access my computer from a different location on Apple Remote Desktop?

    I downloaded Apple Remote Desktop and am trying to access our computer at our church that is in the auditorium and work on slides for ProPresenter from my office which is on a different network. The Mac Pro, which is in the auditorium, is connected to a Netgear wireless router. I would also want to be able to have access to observe and control the screen on the Mac Pro whether I am in my office or at my house. I have tried everything from going to portforward.com, followed those instructions, did port forwarding, used ipchicken.com to get my external IP and made sure that the Mac Pro had a static internal IP address and made sure the computer had access for remote management. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated! Works fine when it is on the same wireless network, but I need access being on a different wireless network. Thanks!

    Hi austinmac14,
    So the steps listed bellow assume some things. They assume that the Airport Extreme Router your configuring is connected directly to the internet connection. And that the Airport Extreme is the only router between your computers and the internet.
    That means we're talking about say a DSL modem plugged directly into the Airport Extreme, or a cable modem. in ether case, this assumes that said modem, is not acting as an internet router.
    If your modem has multiple ethernet ports on it, or has a little antenna sticking out of it, then your modem is probable also a router, and these steps listed bellow will probable not work.
    Also these steps are so one person, can connect to one computer at your work.
    Open Airport Utility:
    go to the dock
    Click on the finder
    go to the menu bar
    Click on the "Go" menu
    Chose "Utilities" from the "Go" Menu
    double Click on "AirPort Utility"
    Access the Base Station:
    Double Click on your Airport Extreme BaseStation that is your internet connection router.
    a new window should pop up with your Airport Base Station as the Window Name
    Configure Static Address for the computer you want to connect to via ARD:
    Click on the internet Icon from the toolbar
    Click on the "DHCP" tab
    For "DHCP Reservations:"  Click on the "+" button
    For the "Description" put "ARD"
    For "Reserve Address by:"  set "DHCP Client ID"
    Click the "Continue" button
    For "DHCP Client ID:" set "ARD"
    write down the number in "IPv4" address field
    Click the "Done" Button
    Configure routing to ARD computer:
    Click on the "Advanced" icon from the tool bar.
    Click on the "Port Mapping" tab
    Click on the "+" button
    for "Service:" Chose "Apple Remote Desktop"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8)"
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "+" button
    For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Apple Events"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "+" button
    For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Login - SSH"
    for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Click the "Continue" button
    Click the "Done" button
    Click the "Update" button.
    wait for the Airport Extreme to update, and for your computer to reconnect to the airport extreme. (make sure you can load and browse websites.)
    Configure the ARD computer to use the correct IP address:
    Go to the computer you want to be able to remotely connect to
    On that computer, Go to the menu bar
    Chose the "Apple" menu bar
    Chose "System Preferences…"
    Click on the "Show All" button
    Click on the "Network" icon
    For the active network connection, (the connection on the left side with the green dot), click on it
    Clock on the "Advanced…" button
    Click on the "TCP/IP" tab
    for the "DHCP Cient ID: field put "ARD".
    Click the "OK" button
    Click the "Apply" buttonNOTE: Under "Status" you should see "(connection name) is connected to (airport base station name) and has the IP address (IP address)." the "(IP address)" address displayed should match the IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
    Find out what your public internet IP address is.
    On the computer you wish to connect to over the internet, gotohttp://whatismyipaddress.com/
    when the web page loads, you should see "IP Information:" fallow by a number like 192.168.0.1, write down what ever number it is.
    At this point you should be able to connect to the computer remotely
    connect to the internet from another location.
    open Apple Remote Desktop
    go to the file menu
    chose connect to computer using ip address
    set the address to the address to the IP address you wrote down for step 6. 2.
    use the same password as you used to connect to the computer at work using ARD.
    So here the catch. If your router gets reset... well then your going to have to configure it again. Also all the same rules you have to connect to the computer at work, also apply to connecting to the computer from over the local network. That means your computer need to be on or sleeping. And if it's sleeping it need to be configure to wake for network access.
    Also some network connections change.  When it comes to internet connections, some connections are static IP, while other connections are DHCP. If your connection is static... great! if it's DHCP, your address may change. If it dose.. well then your ability to connect will break. And then you'd have to do step 6 & 7 again.
    Of corse there are ways around this. But that's kind of another conversation.
    Some internet locations may block your ability to connect to your computer at work. This is very common at schools, and companies. Basically any place that tries to control your ability to browse the internet, may block remote access to computers; because a remote computer would completely by pass their web filter.
    ALSO there is an easier option. As far as setup. There are programs designed to make remotely accessing your mac as easy as possible. For instance there is LogMeIn or Slack. With both of these programs, it's simple. make sure your computer is always on. Then install the software. Create an account with the service. And then you can connect to the computer almost any where by going to their website.
    This option requires no router configuration. It handles DHCP. It's designed to work in as many locations as possible.

  • My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers.  when I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay.  How can I get internal speakers back.

    My mac desktop will not provide sound from internal speakers.  When I go to audio devices window it only shows airplay.  How can I get internal speakers back.

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. Run Software Update and make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
    3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
    7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
    9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
    10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    11. Reset the NVRAM.
    12. Reset the SMC.
    13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/Audio
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Apple Remote Desktop not connecting

    I have set up new iMac with OSX.8.3 and released the remote administration as I did before on many other devices.
    In the Apple Remote Desktop window I can see the computer and it presents itself as any other computer also, to which I have access to (available, current user etc)
    However, when I try to connect I get in the LAN immediately "connection failed".
    From outside via VPN I get this message:
      Please make sure that the remote administration (in System Preferences "Shares") is enabled on the computer to which you want to connect. Also make sure that your network connection is working correctly.
    Here, after all, is an indication, albeit an improper. I can see the computer in the list of the ARD window and that it is available. But cannot connect either
    I have tried with and without firewall, with no success. In addition, in the firewall the Remote Administration is enabled.
    I am little perplexed. (With TeamViewer I can connect)

    Thanks a lot for your help

    if no, have you tried enabling it? (apple menu, system preferences, show all, sharing, check remote management)
    its correctly done
    If yes, have you tried unchecking it, and then re-checking it?
    Will try it
    if still no, is the user your try to connect with listed in remote management?
    Yes it is listed (however I checked the option for all user)
    if so, what about deleting and then re-adding the user your try to connect with?
    Will try that
    if no, what about adding the user to the list?
    I was creating already a new user, no improvement
    while connected to the same lan as the imac. Have you tried deleting the computer record for the imac from your ARD, and re-adding the client?
    Will try that
    Is both computers connect to the network the same way? if so, what are the IP address you get on both computers?
    yes they are. We have manual attributed IPs in the same range
