ARD Hangs/Stops Responding when trying to "control" a remote system

I'm having the toughest time with a new setup for a client. Recently the client purchased 3 brand new Mac Mini systems, and I purchased a Sandy Bridges MBP 13".
After configuring the network and installing the Mac Mini's, I setup ARD so that I could remote desktop in to the systems for remote assistance and support. We purchased the Apple Remote Desktop administrator software from the Mac Store ($79.99 application). The administrator software seems to work great up until the point I try to "control" the remote device. I can schedule tasks, create remote users, modify files, remote upload/download files, and even observe or curtain the remote system. However, as soon as I click on "control" or start the session as observe and then attempt to take control of the remote system, ARD hangs and I'm forced to quit.
I have attempted a fresh installation on all systems to see if there was something cooky that happened, and I'm always exhibiting the same problem.
Does anyone have any suggestions of where to start? I feel like a fool, as I've spent $80 on a piece of software, that is absolutely useless to me as an IT admin... :\
I appreciate any ideas!
Regards,
Jordan W.

...unfortunately the only way I was able to fix the problem was to re-format and fresh install the administrator computer.
I'm going to mark as answered, even though it was not.

  • IPad mini stops responding when trying software updatea

    IiPad mini stops responding when clicking "agree" when updating software

    Close all apps on the iPad, reset the device and then try the update again.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • ARD 3 stops responding when scanning across subnets

    I am running into he same issue over and over... an
    Occasionally (although it seems to happen more and more as time goes on) a scan will look like it is running but will fail to find anything. If I try to stop the scan it ignores the command, I will then get the spinning beach ball and ARD stops responding. This happens while scanning on or multiple subnets. I am running the admin console on an Intel iMac and a G5 Xserver. I've re-installed ARD twice (not a quick process) will no luck. I am running 10.4.6 fully patched.
    The failure to scan seems tied to an issue where an established list will fail to "see" any systems on it... I've been deleting and rebuilding the list manually to get around this but with limited success. I am inclined to blame my network as there are some oddities in how it handles cross subnet traffic as well as severe reverse DNS issues....
    has anyone else seen this behavior?

    Problems scanning where adding a workstation manually works would indeed seem to be an issue with the routing between your subnets. My guess, and this is just a guess at this point, is that your routers are blocking the scan (this may be deliberate on the part of the network admins as a security measure) and that ARD is taking a long time to time out waiting for replies.
    The lockup when you try to cancel is a bit of a puzzle, though. A few questions:
    - does it happen on both your admin systems, or just one and if so which?
    - are the two admin stations on the same subnet, or on different subnets?
    - when you reinstalled ARD, did you go through the full uninstall process?

  • Lightroom 5.7.1 stops responding when trying to import photos from iPhone.

    As the title says, when trying to import the photos from my phone which I've done with Lightroom for a couple years now, the program stops responding entirely. This happens with both mine and my wife's phones. We did leave hers plugged in over night and it eventually started responding again and I was able to import her photos. But I can account for at least 5 hours during which it was not responding first. I'm not sure what changed over night that finally let it work again.
    Any ideas? Thanks!

    You're sure you want to stop using iphoto? Then I would try it this way instead:
    Export each event in your iphoto library separately, put the photos where you want to keep them and use "from files and folders". If there's an event that the organizer chokes on, then you'll have to go into that one photo by photo to see where the problem lies. (You are aware that using "from iphoto" is duplicating your entire iphoto library, so you don't want to do that AND keep using iphoto, right?)

  • Firefox stops responding when trying to "save page" or "save image"

    Windows 7 64 bit and Firefox 28. When trying to 'Save Page' or 'Save Image' the save dialogue window is nearly blank, then info bar shows 'not responding'. I have tried all the tips in the support pages. Resetting Firefox, Starting Firefox in 'Safe Mode'. Upgrading graphics driver to latest version. Turning off 'Hardware Acceleration' in options. Nothing resolves the problem. This issue has only recently started, the last time I tried saving an image it worked fine, certainly prior to Microsoft's most recent 'upgrade Tuesday'.
    Edit:
    Checked the save dates of the last images I successfully saved from within Firefox and compared them to my windows update log. The Microsoft March 'Update Tuesday' was installed on March 14th. My last successfully saved Firefox images were saved the following day on March 15th. Thus it is unlikely that the Firefox saving issue is a result of a Windows Update corruption. So the question is what changes have Mozilla made to Firefox between 15th and 24th March 2014 ???

    I understand that finding a root cause is ideal, and I would be happy to further investigate this with you.
    Since it is still happening in Safe Mode [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-issues-with-plugins-fix-problems please try to troubleshoot the plugins and extensions]
    The other route is to troubleshoot the downloads folder and antivirus to make sure the downloading of the image is not having an issue either. [http://mzl.la/LJ0h2w]
    In the meantime there is an add on that enables this [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/save-images/ Save Images]

  • ITunes Stops Responding When Trying To Play Video - Windows 7 64bit

    Ok, I've been getting my new Win7 box up and going. Everything is working great with the exception of iTunes.
    Setting up iTunes / Quicktime is quick and easy. After a single reboot then launching iTunes and trying to play any video results in "iTunes has stopped responding". Then it shuts down.
    If I either, re-install iTunes or Quicktime. Video works again, until I reboot. Then I end up with the same error message "iTunes has stopped responding".
    I've ran the test over and over, probably a dozen times. I re-install and all works again, until I reboot. And yes, I scanned for viruses, I've check and rechecked settings.
    Can anyone help!? I really want to move everything from my XP machine to Win7, but this one thing keeps holding me up.

    PLEASE!! ANYONE! No one has any ideas?

  • Iphoto stops responding when trying to export photos

    I'm trying to prepare my photos from my summer holiday for the internet by using the Share>Export feature and letting the program resize them while I'm at it. The first batch worked perfectly, I resized some 250 photos, however I'm not able to finish the rest since Iphoto stops responding everytime I try to export photos. It doesn't matter if they are 20 or 200, it always stops responding and I have to force quit it. Does anyone know what the problem is and if it is fixable?

    Right click on one of the photos and reveal in finder - what happens?
    Is there any change a file with the same name as you are trying to create in the location your are exporting to (if so export to a new folder)

    It happens with my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 as well without encrypted backups.  Anyone see this behavior or know how to fix?  I removed all Apple software and reinstalled and the backup worked once, now back to the "iTunes has stopped working" error.

  • Firefox stops responding when trying to access facebook.

    As of Sunday I cannot access Facebook. When I type in facebook in to the address bar Mozilla circle spins and then stops and eventually goes to "not responding." Every other website page I try to load is perfectly fine. And facebook page was fine as of Saturday afternoon. I came home on Sunday and it's not working now. Can anyone help? I have downloaded and run ccleaner, cleared cookies and cache with Mozilla. Not sure what else to do.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

  • My 5.01 and 6.0 beta stop responding when I try print preview. Help?

    First, why didn't you design your form to keep the acceptible information when one field didn't meet your requirements. So 1997.
    Now. On my Win7 machine, 6.0beta suddenly started hanging, (stopped responding) whenever I tried Alt-F-V or "file, print preview". I d/l'd 5.01 and the problem persisted. This isn't happening on my 5.0 LinuxMint11 machine, but I can't get past it. Can you suggest something that will remedy this?

  • Safari stops responding when I try to bookmark (and other slow problems!)

    Two weeks ago my logicboard died, so I sent my ibook out to Apple for it to be fixed. Ever since I got it back this past Tuesday, my Safari has been extremely slow, but nothing else is wrong with my computer. Here are the problems:
    - The biggest issue is that Safari stops responding when I try to make a bookmark. The popup appears to select the bookmark's destination and to enter the name, but when you hit ok, the rainbow wheel comes up and it stops responding, so I have to reset Safari, and now I can't make new bookmarks at all.
    - It lags when it tries to open new windows, especially new tabs.
    - If a new page loads that scrolls at all, and then I try to scroll down, the wheel appears for several seconds until it can load the rest of the page. It's as though it gets stuck before it can scroll.
    - Sometimes when typing, it will also start to lag behind my typing speed, or if I try to click on a new field, it will not immediately allow me to type on occasion.
    All these things have never happened before I sent it out. I have reset my cache, and I have tried entering the open DNS addresses in my networks, which has improved loading speed, but hasn't fixed any of these problems. Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I can fix anything?

    Try verifying the hard disk.
    Boot from your restore disk while holding down the C key until you see the Apple logo, then let go of the C key. You'll see an Installation window, select English. From the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab, then click Verify. If DU reports errors, click Repair. If Disk Utility cannot repair the disk you have several options. One is DiskWarrior or
    TechToolPro If Disk Utility can repair any errors, go back to the Menu Bar, click Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
    If you don't have a restore disk, try booting into Safe Mode

  • ITunes stops responding when casting to appleTV

    I am trying to cast media from my iTunes on a windows 7 sony vaio notebook to my appleTV but when I click the airplay symbol it simply stops responding. The same happens if I enable home sharing, it imediatly stops responding.
    I have tried casting different types of media (i.e. music, videos), disabled windows firewall and disabled anti virus software all with the same result. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, still not responding when trying to cast. I Also tried an earlier version of iTunes (10.5) and the problem persisted.
    I have tested the appleTV with my macbook pro and it worked fine both casting iTunes media as well as screen mirroring. I have also tested it with a desktop running windows 7 and an android phone running allcast, both also worked fine.
    The vaio specs are:
    intel core i7-2630QM 2.00GHz
    8 GB RAM
    windows 7 home premium 64 bits
    iTunes is updated (11.1.5) as well as quick time (7.7.5).
    the appleTV is brand new and came with software version 6.0.2, however I have also tested with another appleTV and obtained the same result(not responding).
    Any ideas?

    It happens with my iPhone 4S and iPad 2 as well without encrypted backups.  Anyone see this behavior or know how to fix?  I removed all Apple software and reinstalled and the backup worked once, now back to the "iTunes has stopped working" error.
