Can ARD be used to generate a software inventory?

I need to be able to generate a list of all installed apps on each Mac for inventory purposes. Can ARD do this?

Yes. You can do a file search for Kind is Application (if I'm remembering the phrasing correctly; I'm not in front of an ARD 2.x admin station at the moment) and you'll get a list of all the apps. You'll get some "chaff" - AppleScript applets and such - but it's not hard to weed those out.

  • Can ARD be used with the ipad 2?

    Can ARD be used with the ipad 2?

    No, neither as a client or as the adminstrator station. There are apps that allow you to take control of another computer from your iPad, if that's your interest, and other apps/service, such as LogMeIn Ignition, that allow you to do more administration functions from your iPad or, as with the Casper suite from JAMF Software, manage your iPad from another system.

  • This iphone can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes

    This iphone can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the itunes installer to remove itunes, then install the 64bit version of itunes
    I keep getting the above error everytime I plug in my iphone.
    I am not daft, I do have the 64bit version of iTunes installed already. When I installed itunes 10.5 and more recently 10.5.1 I got an error message that rolls back a section of the installation (The updater I think) before finishing off installing iTunes.
    After the installation iTunes will work normally apart from when I try to connect a device. At which point I get the title error message and I can not sync my phone.
    It's probably down to Itunes not installing properly however no matter what I try I can not sort the problem out. I've tried uninstalling all apple programmes followed by a registry clean, then reinstall. I've tried the same again but in a specific order. I've tried repairing iTunes, repairing the updater etc etc. Nothing seems to work. I'm out of ideas.
    Has anybody had this problem? Please can somebody tell me how to fix it!
    Getting an iPad this Christmas and if I can't sync that up to my PC I may just have to go over to ANDROID!!!

    Is there a way to install this on its own?
    Yeah, let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunes64Setup.exe installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunes64Setup.exe, and select "Extract to iTunes64Setup". WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunes64Setup".
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does an iTunes install go through properly now?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • How come iTunes keeps saying:"this iPod can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes?"  Wth...i am using the 64version.

    Hi. How come iTunes keeps saying:"this iPod can not be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes?"  Wth...i am using the 64 bit version of itunes. Why does it keep saying that? Will someone Help me please!? This is is getting frustrating. I already had done a full removal of everything! I even removed and deleted my library...then had to put all 500 songs back on one by one. So, i don't have to remove everything again, just to get my ipod to work on here. You, know before the itunes update, my ipod and itunes were working just fine.

    wow, that was a quick reply. lol. but i have removed everything. I wasn't even able to get iTunes on my computer for a little while. i kept getting errors on that. Now it's saying that the required software isn't installed. Hmm, could it be referring to Apple Mobile Device Support? That is supposed to be installed with when iTunes gets installed right? I only ask, because that  didn't get installed with the itunes setup.

  • What module / component can be used to keep track software inventory

    hi all experts,,
    I have a business scenario but don't know what module / component in SAP can be help ?
    There are many software / hardware in a user department. For hardware, its model no. maintenance contract with vendor name (and the contract renewal),  responsible staff, date of purchase, its location should also be recorded but no financial impact should be monitored.
    For software, no. of copies,  date of purchase, responsible staff of each copy, vendor name,  date of expiry, software version no. should be recorded.
    I try to find if material management, equipment in Plant maintenance or asset management are suitable.
    I don't know what module can be used to monitor all hardware renewal contract,  copies of all software. Pls advise.

    Hi
    I think that you have had the answer to your question. I am trying to get people to keep the forum tidy. If you have what you require could you award you points if you want to and mark your question as answered.
    This helps everybody as there are at the moment 48 pages of open questions and if people do not close them the forum will grow and then people like me will not go through all of the pages as it takes too long and some people will not get answers to their questions.
    Thank you

  • The system requirements for Mavericks used years of production for the computer requirements.  Why can't they use the generational number system?

    Office location where Mac Pro is located has a slow internet connection.  I downloaded Mavericks installer onto thumbdrive.  Attempted to install on a dual 3 core Xenon Mac Pro, model 2,1.  After a few hours, I figured out that the error message that was generated by the installer was telling me that my computer doesn't support Mavericks.  Do other people get confused with which generation of hardware is supported with software?  I understand the difference between PowerPC and Intel.  The tricky part is the difference between 32bit and 64bit with the EFI and the CPU instruction set.  Also, why can't they stick with a clear numbering system that is visible when you get info on the Mac? 

    If you are desperate you can use hackintosh tools to boot in 'legacy' mode which allows 10.9 to run on unsupported Macs. Chameleon bootloader & some google fu will get it running in an unsupported way (assuming your graphics card is supported).
    I think Apple dug this hole when they told everyone that these were '64bit Macs'. Sadly if they don't support 32bit EFI in their new OS it's not going to work by default. In other discussions I have read that drivers need to be rewritten for actual 64bit support on a 32bit EFI.
    I have run 10.8 on my 1,1 MP, but 10.6 was nicer, at some point I'll try 10.9 on it
    P.S. http://mactracker.ca and http://www.everymac.com are handy for working out what model supports what features etc.

  • Can APEX_ITEM be used to generate a Form page?

    Hi,
    I would like to use APEX_ITEM to generate in APEX 4.0 a Form region at runtime, based on some meta tables that describe the columns, labels, datatypes etc..
    It seems that people use APEX_ITEM for generating updatable tabular form and I start to question my original concept. I created a PL/SQL Anonymous block region, that contains the following code segment:
    htp.p(
    APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST (
    3,
    'Y',
    'Yes;Y,No;N',
    'Y',
    'readonly=readonly',
    'P1_MARRIED',
    'Married'
    When I run my form and click my 'Session' link at the botom of the page, the P1_MARRIED item would not show up in the item list of the page. Am I missing something or this 'Generate a Form region at runtime' concept is based on my missunderstanding of APEX_ITEM API?

    Thanks, that was enlightening!
    So if I understand it well, it means that:
    1.) I have to give my region 'Form like' layout by using htp.p appropriately. Yes. A custom named column report template is another useful approach.
    2.) What concerns the update processing, it means I should handle the region as a 1-record report i.e. using Fxx arrays but always referencing the first member of each Fxx array only: APEX_APPLICATION.G_Fxx (1)Yes, unless there are actually any 1:M elements (home, work, and mobile phone numbers/email addresses for example), where the same type of element is repeated. (This might also help with point 3...)
    Note also that disabled items are not submitted, and only checked checkboxes are submitted
    3.) I am OK, provided that I generate maximum 50 items on a page, since 50 is a hard-coded limit that can not be gotten around. (I will have to work out solution for this, since i have 53 columns in the given table)Dividing the form into several wizard-style pages as used in the APEX Application Builder is probably the best solution to this. It enables you to keep the sub-form pages simple, clean and short, so users don't have to scroll up and down. Save the submitted values from each sub-form page in APEX collections, and display a final report based on the collection(s) for the user to review before saving the information to the database table.
    Alternatively, some of these columns might be common across all the form permutations, and implementable using standard page items.

  • Can my daughter use my Adobe CC software or does she need to subscribe as well?  She is 12

    So, i'd like to buy a CC complete subscription.  I use the photo tools and already own LR and PS.  My 12 year old daughter wants to use the drawing and animation tools.  Does a subscription to CC allow for multiple users?  i'd rather not have a second subscription for a 12 year old.  i nkow I can install the software on both Macs; I'm just wondering how to let her access it.

  • Can ARD be used to clone like 10 machines at once?

    I have used the net restore in the past, but recently we purchased ARD and was wondering if this can be done since it would be easier to do with eithernet than firewire cable.
    If it can be done, what do I need to do? I already made my master image using netrestore.

    No. ARD does not have that feature.
    Enable NetBoot on OS X Server to do a Network Restore.

  • Can Automator be used to generate iCal backups?

    I would like to use Automator to run iCal's backup utility - namely File > Back up iCal....
    Has anyone done this? It seems like this should be fairly straightforward but I'm not seeing how this can be done from within Automator. TIA!

    Couldn't figure out how to do in Automator but I took a crack at writing an Applescript that works.
    This saves the iCal backup in your home folder and overwrites the previous copy. You'll need to create the first one yourself and then the script will work.
    Here is the script:
    tell application "iCal" to activate
    delay 2
    tell application "System Events"
    tell menu item "Back up iCal…" of menu "File" of menu bar 1 of application process "iCal" to click
    delay 3
    keystroke "iCal Backup"
    keystroke "H" using command down
    delay 3
    keystroke return
    delay 2
    keystroke tab
    keystroke space
    end tell
