Drag copy in Remote Desktop 3.7.2
Drag coping a file from Remote Desktop Admin computer to Remote Desktop client does not work in remote desktop 3.7. It does work in the other direction. when dragging from client computer to admin computer. I have downgraded to 3.6.1 on my Mountain Lion computer to get this functionality back however the 3.6.x version is flakey at best running on Mountain Lion. Is this going to be fixed? I was excited to see the 3.7.2 version release today but was disappointed to find that drag copy still does not function properly.
I am not sure if this is the 3.7.x Remote Desktop Admin app that is malfunctioning or the 3.7.x ARD client agent that is at fault or a combination of both.
Drag copying is a vital function of ARD that I use all of the time.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
disable remote management on client
enable screen sharing on client
enable remote management on client
It works for me

Can you buy just one license for remote desktop
i want to access a single computer from another laptop. is the 10 license copy of remote desktop all that is available? if so, can someone offer me any other solutions?
thanks,
mikeI use the VNC Client 'Chicken of the VNC' which you can get from here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
Tiger already comes with a VNC Server installed - simply go to the control panel, click on 'Sharing' and turn on ARD as an option there. Then click on the button 'Access Privileges' and tick the option 'VNC viewers can take control of the screen with password...' (and put in a password too...).
VNC allows you to have pretty much complete control of the computer remotely - you see a window with the desktop visible on the computer running COTVNC (or whatever). However VNC does not support file transfer too / from or allow you to do things like install software remotely (and whatever else ARD would allow). But you can simulate most of these other ways if required.
Hope this helps. -
Simple Problem w/ Remote Desktop 3
I am trying to manage my Leopard Server. I have a new Mac. I had to migrate my copy of Remote Desktop 3 from my old Mac to my new Mac. After installing and registering and all that, I thought I would be done. However, every time I start Remote Desktop 3, it asks me for the serial number. This is getting a bit frustrating. Any idea how I make this stop?
Make sure you are logged into an admin account when entering the serial. I found it doesn't work from a standard account.

Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1 Install not validated by App Store
I'm writing this incase anyone else happends to find them selves in a similar situation.
Problem: Upgrading to Mavericks forced an upgraded to Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.1. Whatever links it had to purchased apps in the App Store were broken and I was prompted by a registration window when I opened the ARD.
Solution: I copied Apple Remote Desktop 3.7 from my MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8 and replaced the effected copy instaled Mavericks upgrade. For whatever reason this corrected the issue updated the copied 3.6.1 ARD app to 3.7.1 and repaired the App Store purchased links.I agree the new Remote Desktop 3.7.1 is very laggy. All my machine are up to date with patch, same issue..

Using drag and drop in remote desktop on windows server 2008
we running an application on windows server 2008 terminal services .. this application was support drag and drop functionality .. i understand that terminal services on windows 2008 is supported to drag and drop but is not happening !! even when i run remote desktop connection on this server the drag and the drop is not working !
i need to enable the drag and drop for windows 2008 terminal services ..
Thanks in advanceHello Ayman,
If your requirement is to drag and drop files between local and remote sessions, Danny is right. Drag-and-drop feature is not supported in Windows Server 2008-based Terminal Server, which is a by-design behavior hard-coded in the current version of the Remote Desktop Protocol.
As a workaround, I recommend you to use copy-and-paste function instead of drag-and-drop. To enable the copy-and-paste between local and remote session, please enable the clipboard redirection in Windows Server 2008-based RDC. (In Windows Server 2003 environment, local drive redirection is needed.)
Hope it helps. Thanks.

Copying items in Apple Remote Desktop
According to the manual, you should be able to copy items between the local and remote computer, either by dragging or by selecting "Copy Items" button.
But each time I try, it gave me an error message saying the "This task is not supported on the remote computer" or "Copying to this computer: Failed on all"
Is there any privileges that I need to turn on before I can copy to and from the computers? I can't find it anywhere in either the manual or preferences.Yes, you have to enable copying on the client Mac by going to System Preferences, selecting Sharing and clicking the Services tab. Select Apple Remote Desktop from the list and click the Access Priveleges button (authenticating first if required). Then check the Copy Items box.

Hi everyone,
I work remotely using Cisco AnyConnect (company provided) to access the company servers. Until "upgrading" to Mavericks I was able to copy files directly to my desktop – from either the servers themselves, from within Bridge, and/or by using the finder - you get the idea. Now I can only copy the files by opening them while still on the server using the native app (in my case mainly InDesign/Photoshop/Illustrator files) and saving them to my desktop that way.
I'm a designer, I use a lot of files for my specific job every day and these files are often pretty large and doing it this way is time-consuming and really frustrating seeing as I had no such issues with the previous OS. It's not a total nightmare (yet) like some of things some of you are dealing with but I've spent more time restarting, freezing and trying to fix issues than I have actually using my darned machine. I have no choice but to access my work this way; I'm part of a much larger team and we all work on these files off and on during the day so I'm constantly needing to copy files and make sure I'm working on the most current version. Working off the server isn't an option as the speed decreases considerably... making the slightest task cringingly slow. As in 25 minutes for a PDF to be created slow.
I've been used to my system running smoothly, without issues and fast so this upgrade is turning into a bit of a nightmare. Before I throw in the towel and try and downgrade, does anyone have any ideas? My technical knowledge where these things are concerned isn't beginner but I'm no expert and I'm stumped. I just don't know where to start and I'm afraid of screwing something else up during the process of trying to fix this (so far) one issue and creating a snowball effect.
I'm using a 27" iMac (late model 2012 purchased in March 2013) with a second Viewsonic monitor attached. I have a Cintiq 22HD hooked up (but not on all the time) and a Wacom tablet in use. I currently use both CS5 (work hasn't upgraded to CC yet) and Adobe CC (for personal use) on my system.
Any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
G.Hi,
By default, the Remote Desktop (RD) Gateway component that encapsulates RDP in HTTPS packets listens on port 443 (for TCP) and port 3391 (for UDP). After you changed the ports in Transport Settings tab, please make sure that you have opened the custom ports
you selected in Windows Firewall.
In addition, since you have mentioned the registry key, would you please share the entire path?
It seems that you need to manually update the gateway in the RDP file with the port. Have you created an .rdp file? You can also refer to the link below:
Create an .rdp file

No longer able to drag remote desktop window
I used to be able to grab the "Connection Bar" that's pinned to the top of a maximized remote desktop window, and drag the window away from the edge, over to another monitor, then push it against the top edge to have it become maximized on the
other monitor.
But now, when I grab the Connection Bar and try to drag, the bar will only slide left and right. I can't unmaximize the window by dragging the bar away from the edge. I can only change the position of the bar along the top edge.
Of course, I can click the "Restore" icon on the bar and un-maximize it, then drag and dock the window in another monitor. But the point is, I used to be able to do it in one single fluid stroke, now I have to explicitly unmaximize. It used to
be the case that just dragging the window away from the edge caused the window to unmaximize, but not now.
Is there a setting that controls this "drag-to-restore-down" that I'm talking about? Or has this been intentially changed by some update?Hi,
This is weird, I can drag it as my mind without any obstruction.
I suspect this is interfered by some software conflict, please test in Clean Boot mode to see if this issue persists.

Apple Remote Desktop ARD 3.7 cannot drag files from local to remote.
Apple Remote Desktop ARD 3.7 cannot drag files from local to remote. I've been able to drag n drop folders and files from my local to the remotes for years until the update to 3.7. Anyone else experiencing this issue? I've tried changing preferences. No luck. Maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere.
I'm on 10.8.5. Remote is same with 3.7 client. This happens with multiple remotes.Let me guess. The Get and Send clibboard contents buttons are greyed out too?
It is only affecting me on clients already upgraded to 3.7. None of the clients on older versions are affected.
ARD is also crashing a lot.
Most of the time I go to a screen share to a client it takes way too long, so I clock Stop, then try to connect again and works straight away.
Hopefully a patch will be released soon. -
hi i have just completed an imovie project and tried to save a hard copy on the desktop so i dragged the project file from the home page then movies folder and now the prioject seems to be lost , how can i get it back ?
It's a Finder feature, related to Quick Look. You can hit the space bar in the file list to get a preview.
If that doesn't work, you may have an issue witha preference file or similar. I find rebuilding the launch databse works quite well resilving tis kind of thing, as does trashing Finder preferences -
Copy all of "My Desktops" to another Mac with Microsoft Remote Desktop v8.0.9
I have almost 1,000 entry under "My Desktops" in Microsoft Remote Desktop v8.0.9 and I'm looking for a quick way to transfer all of them to another Mac.
I thought I could just copy the .plist file at:
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.rdc.mac.plist
to my new computer and I'd be good to go but that's not working.
I also found the
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Remote Desktop
folder and copied that as well (tho the folders here look to be empty, I see the folder names match entries in the .plist). Yet, "My Desktops" is empty.
I also noticed when I copy the .plist over to the new laptop it's 946 KB in size. I run the RDP client on the new computer and the .plist file size drops down to 10 KB in size.
I really do not want to export all 1,000 entries and copy those files over to the new computer. I've found that the exported files when run require you to enter the username/password verse automatically getting it from (I assume) the keychain.
Is there anyway to copy all my RDP hosts from 1 Mac to another Mac?
Thanks.Figured this issue out.
Make sure Microsoft Remote Desktop is not running.
Copy the plist file from the old computer:
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.rdc.mac.plist
to the same location on the new computer.
Copy the folder from the old computer:
~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.rdc.mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Microsoft Remote Desktop
to the same location on the new computer.
$ sudo killall cfprefsd
This killall is the key. Looks like preferences are cached.
I used this URL for help to figure that out.

Do AATC's get a free copy of Apple Remote Desktop?
I work at an AATC and I wanted to use Apple Remote Desktop in the classroom. They use to have a copy on ASW for download but I can't find it anymore.
Does anyone have any information on how I can get it?With ARD now only available from the Mac App Store, there's almost certainly a different mechanism to download, if they still make it available to AATCs at no charge. You'll need to contact Apple AATC support and inquire.

TS2401 Remote Desktop 3.6.1 Doesn't connect to Control screen..but able to copy files
I am trying out Remote Desktop 3.6.1, It connect some time but most of time it gets stuck on "Connecting to "computername" " and also give error message to check remote management setting which is turned on. On Remote Desktop program , i can see the computer currentstatus: Available, and see current Application running on that computer and also able to copy files to that computer. The problem is not able to control,observe or curtain remote computer screen.
Any help would be appriciated.
ThanksIf it's not working at all, the first thing to check is to make sure that port 5900 is open on the path between your admin system and the client, and that it's forwarded if necessary to the client's IP address. If it's working erratically, then you may have network problems or the client's IP address is shifting due to DHCP lease expiration or the system being restarted.
Without more details about your network between the admin system and client it's difficult to offer much more in the way of advice, but perhaps that will help.

Remote desktop client software not active
I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I'm a bit bewildered by this errormessage (and I couldn't get a hit when I searched for it) when I try to drag a file from the xserv to the macbook pro desktop, remote desktop client software not active.
The macbook has the ard server and connects to the xserv ppc. It connects over the internet.
The xserv is behind a iptables fw and I have forwarded 3283 tcp/udp plus 5900 udp/tcp to the server. Have I forgotten a port ?
I've read through http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm as well as http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070302234400232&query=vnc%2Bsimpl e%2Bset%2Bup
and tried to find out more from the discsussions here.
The macbook pro sits behind an airport which is hooked into the dsl modem. Do I need to configure port forward in the airport as well.
Connecting to the xserv and working on it works great but the copy file transfer fails.Hi there I took new try at this and this is what finally solved it for me.
The earlier answer I got was very good advise but I had already done that bit, actually I might have overdone it a bit I had checked all the boxes under the useraccount on sharing.
Back to business.
Firewalling. I realised I need to open and portforward at both locations and remeber it's booth tcp and udp.
So at the xserve location I needed to forward 3283 and 5900 both tcp and udp from outside to the IPnumber of the xserve.
At home with my macbook I needed to do the same.
However this did not solve it, I had forgotten one software on the macbook. On the xserve I had installed ARD upgraded it to 3.1 AND installed the upgrade for ARD 3.1 client. The client part I had forgotten at home. So once my ARD and ARD client software matched I could connect to the xserve and drag and drop files booth ways.
ARD wasn't running on the xserve I just had it installed along with the client software.
So portforwarding in firewalls and the same software and versions in all locations seems to have solved it for me.
A small note enabling/disabling the firewall in macbookpro did nothing for me since when enabled ARD rules were in place and active so it still worked.
I hope I made some sense.

Since I upgraded to Windows 8, I am no longer able to save individual Remote Desktop Connection files as .rdp files. I am talking about the traditional Remote Desktop Connection application on the Desktop that was in previous Windows versions, not the
Remote Desktop App from the Windows 8 store.
When I try to click on the Save button I get "An error occurred while saving to file"
When I try to click on the Save As button I get "Unable to open connection file" with the file address being where I tried to save it with the file name at the end.
Also when I upgraded to Windows 8, my .rdp files disappeared from my Documents folder.
I need to create different .rdp files for different programs that my employees get into on my server. Now I have to hand type all the info each time into the Programs tap on the Remote Desktop Connection window, because I can't save to an
.rdp file.
I like the Remote Desktop App from the Windows store but it won't let me designate specific programs to use using standard dos notation (ie c:\program files\ etc..). It just goes to my server desktop.
I want to promote Windows 8 to my employees but I need either .rdp files for the traditional Remote Desktop Connection or the ability to open specific programs using dos notation in the Windows Store Remote Desktop App.I know this is an old post but others might still be having the problem.
