ARD admin can no longer control clients...

I have ARD configured on all my clients, and it seemed to be working fine. In the last week or so I found that I can no longer control my clients. I visit the client to make sure that the account is set up for ARD control, yet when I try and control the computer it doesn't work at all...anyone have any ideas to fix this?
thanks

Same for me - I hooked up a Quicksilver Mac into my local Ethernet network (behind router), but cannot connect to it. I updated the Quicksilver Mac to ARD2.2 successfuly. ARD also allows me to chat with the computer since I see it in the ARD Status panel. So there must be some kind of connection.
However, controlling or observing returns a connection error.
One possibility: Client runs MacOS 10.3.9 ???
Cheers
Martin

Touchpad irratic behavior that I can no longer control on Pavilion dm1 notebook

I have Pavilion dm1-4210 notebook with Windows 7. Touchpad is Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad. When I first turn computer on, TouchPad usually works fine for maybe an hour or so. Then, all of a sudden the curser takes on a life of its own and refuses to move around the screen as it should. If I try to move curser UP OR DOWN, the arrow turns into a small vertical rectangle that will not move. All the rectangle does is reduce the view properties of the screen (reminds me of what you see when using the middle dial on a mouse). If I try to move curser to the RIGHT OR LEFT, the curser turns into either a little cross with a vertical and a horizontal double arrow, OR a litte diamond symbol with 4 little boxes in it, yet it will not move around the screen. Also sometimes cursor jumps to left side of screen on its own. I cannot get the curser to return to normal, except by banging on the touchpad in frustration, which I know is not a very good repair technique. Otherwise I have to re-boot for the touchpad/cursor to go back to normal, but that is becoming a real pain. The other time this happens is often right after I plug in a flash drive or external hard drive. NOTE: this problem is ONLY when I am using the TouchPad. I never have any problems when I am using a wireless mouse, so the problem is specifically with the TouchPad. When I run internal troubleshooting, or the HP driver check online, every test says the TouchPad is operating normally and the driver is up to date. But there clearly is something wrong, but beats me what it is. Any ideas?

Hi,
First try uninstalling and reinstalling the touchpad drivers...
To uninstall the touchpad go to Control Panel and Add/Remove programs.Select Synaptic Touchpad and click uninstall or remove..Restart the computer and then download the driver from the link below:
Synaptics TouchPad Driver
You can also refer this link to adjust few settings in the touchpad that may fix.Try diabling the gesture controls and check:
Turning all gestures off and on
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

External display's brightness can no longer be controlled with external keyboard in 10.8.2

I can no longer control external display's brightness with external keyboard.
Until now my external keyboard controlled external display's brightness and MBPr's keyboard MBPr's brightness. Now the only way of changing external display's brightness is via Display preferences which is cumbersome
Is there any way of going to pre 10.8.2 settings?

I noticed that the keyboard and tablet were'nt working when plugged into a usb hub or monitor usb port. I had to plug in the keyboard and tablet into a mbp usb port where they worked. For some reason, after plugging them back into the usb hub they worked again. Could just be dumb luck though.

Can't enroll new clients in Profile Manager 3.0.3

I just upgraded a server from 10.8.5 to 10.9.2 and updated the Server app to v3.0.3. Almost everything seems to have gone smoothly, except that I can no longer enroll clients in Profile Manager, and the user under which all devices were originally enrolled disappeared.
I manually re-added the user through the Server app, and used the same short name and password for the account.
All of the old clients (OS X systems running 10.8.5) are still there. I can search within the device list, create profiles, edit profiles, and remove profiles. But none of them show up when I log into the My Devices web page with the re-created user.
This user does not have admin privileges, but even when I try to enroll a device using an admin account I still get a "500 Internal Server Error".
I can't seem to find any other threads covering this exact problem, although there seem to have been others with various PostgreSQL database migration issues during the upgrade. For examples, see this thread: Managed Settings missing in Profile Manager after upgrade to Server 3
Looking for some ideas...

Well, that is one idea that I've already had, Linc, but I'm reluctant to use the "nuclear option" for obvious reasons. I'm actually wondering now if the Secure Cert / OD problem is affecting Profile Manager. See this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/23686348#23686348

Just one ARD Admin Refused

Here's a strange one ...
I have ARD Admin on 3 Macs, on the same network.
Two of them can connect to a client, One cannot.
As all the passwords and setup IS correct, why would One ARD Admin NOT connect to just on ARD client with: 'Authenticaton Failed....' ?
The target Mac has a FULL Blue light on it in all ARD Admin's.
I've checked/repaired the KeyChain on the ARD Admin Mac with the issue.
All three ARD Admins can connect to all other ARD clients.
Just one ARD Admin cannot connect to just on specific ARD client, it can connect to all other ARD clients fine.
It's something local to the one ARD Admin Mac?
But what?
I've done the whole dlete computer thing on the ARD Admin to no avail, and deleted the Scanner entry too...
Thank you,
ARD Admin Macs are on OSX 10.9
ARD Admin is v3.7.1
ARD Clients are various from v3.4 upwards
This one ARD client is v3.4 (but there are others that are OK with ARD client v3.4, and like I say other ARD Adin can conenct to it.)

Hi James
I've seen this at a site I support that had recently upgraded to Mavericks. I subsequently discovered that at the time they did the upgrade they were having some slight/strange network/firewall issues which they'd ignored. These in fact had contributed to the problems they were having after the upgrade.
My 'fix' was to clear out the caches and then disabling remote management on the client workstations that were having the problem. These were then rebooted and remote management was then re-enabled. I'd deleted the misbehaving clients from the All Computers list in ARD Admin first and re-added them after the reboot and re-enable.
This may not be applicable for your location but I endeavour to make things easy for myself by always enabling the remote login (SSH) option in the deployment build. That way I can quickly and easily connect to affected clients and either run a script or series of commands that 'fixes' pretty much most problems I come across.
HTH?

Why can't I control iTunes windowless with the hotkeys?

You can no longer control Playback options while the window is closed while having the program selected.
This is really annoying.
How do I go back to version 9.2 again?

you might consider to switch to the Mini Player (cmd-Shift-M) instead of closing the Window. The Mini Player reacts to the play back controls.

I can't upgrade clients from ARD admin

Hi all,
I am trying to upgrade all my client machines to ARD 3.3.2. But when I try doing this from ARD admin, it comes back failing with no error message returned. What could be causing this?
Thanks in advance...

Have you tried restarting the workstations and then trying the update? That's often cured the problem for me when an update fails.
Hope this helps.

ARD Admin 3.2 on 10.5 no longer connects to 10.4

I used to be able to connect to my grandmother's computer over the internet using ARD Admin. But ever since upgrading to Leopard and ARD Admin 3.2, I have been unable to connect to her machine. The last time I was at her place I updated Tiger to the latest version, I updated her ARD client to the most recent version for Tiger (I believe it's 2.x but I'm not sure). I've done everything I can think of to make this work and it won't work.
She has an old PowerMac G4 and it can not be updated to Leopard.
Like I said, it used to work just fine. The only changes were on my machine. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm her only form of help and giving her tech support over the phone is difficult and frustrating for her.

Hi
Yes I can confirm its working for me. Leopard Client or Tiger Client connecting and controlling Tiger Server fine. I can also connect and control 10.5 Server using ARD with 10.4 Client. I've seen a similar problem to yours at one site when using 10.5 or 10.4 Client to connect to 10.5 Server. This has never worked although everything is setup the same as per other sites. Like you I can ping, see the server in the list and even connect. The problem shows itself in two ways. I connect but get a black screen and nothng else. Other times I get what you get.
I don't think its a router problem because the same router is used at other sites without the problem. This one site's ISP is one that I've not come across before (ie: not one of the 'mainstream' ones). I've not had chance to investigate but perhaps it may be a problem with them? I am clutching at straws with this theory though.
When you upgraded to Leopard did it coincide with an ISP change?

Help! Problem downgrading from ARD Admin 3.0 to 2.2; LAN clients still 2.2.

Hi gang! This is my first post here. I work as a technician in a university computer lab with 250 machines. About 10% of these are Macs, and we manage them with Mike Bombich's NetRestore, Faronics Deep Freeze, and Apple Remote Desktop. All clients are running ARD 2.2.
I installed ARD Admin 3.0 on our office eMac to see some of the new features. Sadly, most of them will not work until you upgrade the clients to 3.0. I aso dislike how a majority of older commands from 2.2 (like UNIX commands, Lock screen, etc), are suddenly not working in 3.0. How convenient! Just upgrade your client software and presto! Not happening, yet.
So I went to uninstall the ARD Admin from my machine. Here is what I did to roll back: I have deleted anything to do with Apple Remote Desktop from the following folders:
/Applications/
/Library/Application support/Apple/
/Library/Preferences/
/Library/Receipts/
~/Library/Application Support/
~/Library/Preferences/
I reinstalled the software (it said "Install" not Upgrade) and launched the freshly installed ARD 2.2 Admin. It prompted me for my serial number and then I sat waiting for over 30 seconds for the main screen to appear. Finally it spat an error message at me, then crashed: "The Remote Desktop Administrator failed to start due to an unexpected error."
I can't find this in the KBase, or perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms. What did I do wrong, and how can I fix it?
eMac 800Mhz, TiBook 700MHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) In lab: 4 x Intel iMacs, 24 x Quicksilver G4s

Remove ARD again, using the instructions here.
Then reinstall your 2.2 ARD administrator. If you have an earlier version of ARD 2 on your installation disk, make sure you update it to 2.2, either through Software Update or via the downloadable updater, before you try and launch the administration application for the first time.
Hope this helps.
Just FYI, if you try to use a 3.0 admin app with 2.2 clients, or a 2.2 admin with 3.0 clients, all that works is the VNC functions which means that other than the ability to upgrade the clients to 3.0 (where applicable), you only get Observe and Control.

Error in accessing ARD client 2.2.1 from ARD admin 3.2 via Airport

Hi all,
I was successfullly accessing mac-mini machine having ARD client 2.2.1 which was connected to ethernet cable from ARD admin 3.2. But now when I am trying to access same mac-mini machine which is now connected to airport, I am getting following error:
Machine is having old ARD client/agent.
Even though, ARD 3.2 supports ARD 2.2.1, why am I getting this error? How to resolve this error?
Thanks,
Palav

Because Chicken of the VNC doesn't use the full ARD client, only the VNC portion. The error you reported:
Machine is having old ARD client/agent.
is exactly what I'd expect when accessing a 2.2 client from ARD 3.2. You will need to update the client version to 3.2, and that will require that the ports in the Airport base station be open and forwarded so that the ARD administration application can get full access to perform the client upgrade.

You need to find your old remote or buy a new one.

Hi - for some reason, my IPAD3 mail client has decided it can no longer connect to my Exchange server.

Hi - for some reason, my IPAD3 mail client has decided it can no longer connect to my Exchange server. It's worked like a charm for weeks. Any thoughts?
For the record, I've got a POP mail account that is working fine on the machine and the WIFI is up and running (Safari is loading fine).
Thanks

Hi Jim,
Your issue is the most FAQ in the forums, it is an ongoing problem with Tiger waiting to be fixed by Apple. Till then, forget your aliases and use either Command-K or from the Finder Go-->Connect to Server and enter the remote Mac's IP address to connect.
Also, Open Utilities-->Terminal and type lookupd -flushcache (Press Return) and reboot. Do this for both macs.

I set up Airport Express as Client, I can no longer connect to my wlan

I set up Airport Express in Client mode so that I could use Airtunes. My Router/modem is a netgear one and I use WPA.
I can no longer connect to my wireless network from my ibook.
If I plug in the ethernet to the router I can. I can also then see from the router that Airport express has connected itself to the router.
So what do I have to do to be able to reconnect to myibook to the WLAN?

Double-check these settings on your iBook:
System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
- Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
- Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
AirPort tab
- By default, join: Automatic
TCP/IP tab
- Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
- Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
Proxies tab
- Configure Proxies: Manually
- Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
- Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
- Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
- Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

Following the upgrade to 34.0.5, I can no longer access web pages of our SAN, airco, vSphere Web Clients, etc. How can I correct this?

Following upgrade to 34.05, can no longer access web pages of the SAN management interface, the airco system, the vSphere Web Client, etc. All still work in Chrome.
The airco system gives an error:
Firefox cannot guarantee the safety of your data on 10.32.16.50 because it uses SSLv3, a broken security protocol.
Advanced info: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap
The SAN management interface and vSphere Web Clients display an empty page. Not sure whether these also have problems due to SSLv3.
I understand you wanting to be cautious, but I seriously doubt I need to face an attack from our SAN. Please, at least give us an option to connect regardless.

hello, ssl 3.0 is disabled in firefox versions 34 & upwards by default - if you want to re-enable it you can do that like this which will make you vulnerable to the recently published poodle attack though:
enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''security.tls.version.min'''. double-click it, change its value to '''0''' and restart the browser.
