Can i do a remote desktop from my 2007 iMac(computer that I need to access) controlled by my 2010 mbp

i don't have a wireless keyboard or mouse for my 2007 iMac, is there any way that can use remote desktop and access it from my 2010mbp.

Hi champrider,
You can use an application such as Apple Remote Desktop to control your iMac remotely. See this article -
OS X Mavericks: Allow access using Apple Remote Desktop
This help page will provide you with some other useful resources for Apple Remote Desktop -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • HT5422 Can I install an earlier version of the Apple Remote Desktop from a disc on OSX 10.7.5?

    I cannot install an earlier version of the Apple Remote Desktop from a disc on my OSX 10.7.5 It says that the installation requires an earlier OSX version.
    I cannot upgrade with the RemoteDesktopAdmin361 available on line, since no Remote Desktop application exists. Any suggestions?

    Assuming your disk is for ARD 3.x, try this:
    • Insert your ARD CD
    • Open in Finder
    • Right click on the Remote Desktop.mpkg and show contents
    • Navigate to contents/installers
    • Drag the RemoteDesktopAdmin.pkg file onto the workstation and install
    • Run Software Update
    • Upgrade to the latest version of the admin application before attempting to launch the app

    Hello:
    Thank you for the update for remote access for desktops.
    Personally, I do not want to give remote access to anyone but myself as privacy is my friend.  Can this remote desktop software still be for me personally unless I allow access and for my MAC lap top only?  What if I do not update? I do use this lap top in other countries.  compatibility issues with what?

    Apple Remote Desktop is off be default. It has to be enabled for some one to be able to remotely connect to the computer. And then, you still have to have a user name and password on the computer to remotely connect with.
    If you want to see if remote access has is enabled for Apple Remote Desktop; you can find the setting in, Apple Menu, System Prefrences, Sharing. If it's enabled, Remote Management or Screen Sharing will be checked.
    Beucase Apple Remote Desktop Agent is part of the Mac Operating System; even if your not using it, Apple Software Updates will from time to time offer updates for ARD Agent. Software Updates can some times be stacked ontop of each other; so chosing not to install an update, can mean other updates you may want may not be offered. At least until you install the updates those updates require. Also software updates can improve the security of your computer.

  • Connection Errors to Remote Desktop from OSX after Domain name change

    We have an issue using Microsoft Remote Desktop from Macs in our school. All was well until we changed the domain name of our RDS servers and installed a new wildcard certificate. Connections work perfectly in Windows 7/8 and also iOS on iPads, but we cannot
    get any Macs to connect having tried OSX 10.7 and 10.9. The error message says the connection failed to load but seems to add a spurious end to the connection string - TS/en-US/Default.aspx - but we cannot trace where this is being picked up.
    We can get to the site in a web browser and sign in to receive the "browser not supported" message in Safari so traffic is obviously getting to the severs.
    Has anyone else had a similar issue? We have spent days poking around with DNS etc but can't seem to make any progress here.

    Hi Jeremy,
    I have tried removing connections and also re-installing the App. We have been using this App since January with no real issues until we made our domain name change - I really don't understand why it works fine in Windows and iOS but not OSX. We are doing
    nothing different to what we have done from day 1.
    Log file from our old connection when it was working looked like this:

  • Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded

    Hi there,
    Please can anyone instruct me on how to set up Group Policy to clear down MRU lists and to clear or to prevent user login details for programs such as Remote Desktop from being recorded. Your help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    RocknRollTim
    P.S. I was redirected by a forum user off the Microsoft Community forum.

    Hi RocknRollTim,
    Agree with Jason. Using a script will be a better option.
    Just addition, for history of RDP Connections, please open Registry Editor and follow the path:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Default. Please check if find MRU registry items where the name (or the IP address) of the terminal server is kept in.
    Please also follow the path: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client\Servers. It contains
    the list of all RDC (remote desktop client) connections that have ever been established from this computer.
    When expand Server folder and select a node, you will see the UsernameHint key that show the name of the user connected by rdp.
    Please back up registry items to avoid unexpected issues before any operation.
    If any update, please feel free to let us know.
    Hope this helps.
    Best regards,
    Justin Gu
    Thank you for responding back Justin Gu and I agree with both you and Jason Miller that a script can easily achieve this task. Thank you all for your help.
    Many thanks,

  • Start remote desktop from windows lock screen

    Is it possible to invoke remote desktop from the lock screen of a host machine without interfering with any active session on that host machine? The host machine might have been locked by someone who had just walked away from it or the host machine may
    be being used remotely by its regular user. But despite this i would like to use it to run a remote session to my regular machine.

    Hi,
    The answer is no, Lock screen aims to protect user's profile and system resources securitry, Remote desktop need to use system rescoures, such as Printer, Drives, and so on. Therefore, it's impossible to start remote desktop from Widnows lock screen.

    After installing Mavericks my iMac opens with the "rolling surf" desktop. I can then start my preferred desktop from a saved 'photo but when I retsart the iMac it reverts to "rolling surf". How can I get it to remember to open with MY choice rather than Apple's?

    I did a little research on this, as I found some strange things with the .plist files.
    It appears that Apple has changed the way that the plist files are handled, and there is now an extra step in the trashing-the-.plist-file fix:
    1. hold down the option key
    2. in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Libary
    3. in Library, find Preferences
    4. in Preferences, find  com.apple.desktop.plist  and drag it to the trash.
    5. go to Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
         1. Sort by Process Name and look for two processes named cfprefsd.
         2. Make sure you select the one that has your user account, not "root", listed as the User.
         3. Click the X up at the top left to kill that process
    5. restart
    6. this will generate a new .plist file, so you will have to reenter your preferences.
    Sorry for the confusion. Could you try this and let us know-

  • HT3258 I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan.

    I have a Brother MFC-J4610DW and can't get it to print from my 2012 iMac over my lan. It works with the macbook pro and iPad. The dialog box states "Setting up 'BrotherMFC-J4610..." Unable to communicate." I worked with the AppleCare guy for a couple of hours. We got it to print via USB but when we switched to ethernet hook up via Time Capsule it won't communicate or install the printer.

    Try two things (separately, trying to add the printer in Print & Scan/fax prefs after each):
    Reset the printing system:

    Reset the router - power it off for 15 secs, then back on. Some routers cause these kinds of errors - not recognizing devices are present.

    Hi People!
    Please help...I want to know how can i get photos from ipad to the computer, that were synchronized previously to ipad but from another pc that i dont have access anymore and these pics are now only found in this ipad and no other place.

    Hi Alan,
    Thanks for the help, but i've actually done that before.
    It does not help, because it only shows the photos on the camera roll and do not show the photos synchronized with that pc that i dont have access anymore.
    The photos/albums all appear on the ipad, i can see it without problems but i cant get them out of the ipad to save onto pc for backup.
    And i reaaly need it, as it is the only place that i actually have these photos now...

    can I turn my old Iphone into Ipod? It says that I need a valid SIM card

    Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
    Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
    Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
    Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to remove the SIM card and use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.
