How to download / install ARD 3.7.2 for Yosemite?

I was running Yosemite Beta. I had 10.10 beta 6 installed on my MacPro tower (aka the shiny black trashcan). Downloaded and installed the 10.10 final version, and all appeared well. ARD was - and is - working. To be clear : ARD Admin 3.7.2 (372a19) was already installed and working before upgrading to 10.10 final.
Software update now bugs me that I have a few updates to do, so I thought no biggie : download and install them via Update All. Partway through the process the following error message pops up in the Software Update window of the App Store :
"We could not complete your purchase.
Remote Desktop is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
Oooook. I have already purchased ARD. I am already in Software Update. It should be trying to run an update only. So I tried quitting out of Software Update completely, and re-starting the whole software update process over (via the GUI). Same result. So off to the command line we go...
softwareupdate -l
Finding available software
No new software available.
W.T.H?!?
Ok, delete the com.apple.Softwareupdate.plist. Check again. Same result. Ok... crack open the .plist and here is the URL generated by the OS replacing the file I deleted : https://swscan.apple.com/content/catalogs/others/index-10.10beta-10.10-10.9-moun tainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged…
According to what I know of the default URL on SU, that's looking correct to me. So at this point I am officially stumped. It would appear the problem is on Apple's end, as I cannot find anything on this end which would account for that behavior. It's really weirding me out that the command line says there are no updates available, while the GUI says there is. If anyone can toss me a bone, it would be appreciated very, very much.

Here is the fix for ARD showing in the App store and not letting you update.
1. Download the 3.7.2 ARD update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1733
2. Mount the ARD disk image that downloads.
3. Run the following commands in the Terminal
      sudo pkgutil --expand /Volumes/Apple\ Remote\ Desktop\ 3.7.2\ Admin\ Update/RemoteDesktopAdmin372.pkg ~/Desktop/ARD
      sudo pkgutil --flatten ~/Desktop/ARD/RemoteDesktopAdmin372.pkg ~/Desktop/RemoteDesktopAdmin.pkg
4. Run the RemoteDesktopAdmin.pkg now located on your Desktop
5. Restart your Mac
6. Launch ARD, and enter in the serial number if requested.

  • How can I download & install Photoshop CS 5.1 for Mac?

    I bought a new MacBook Pro with no CD drive, how can I download & install Photoshop CS 5.1 for Mac (I have my legit license key)

    Hi Andrew,
    Please use the below link to download CS5 Photoshop.
    Download CS5 products
    However since you are using a new MAC OS you might want to check the compatibility of the products.
    As CS5 is only tested on 10.5.7 and 10.6 MAC OS.
    Refer to below link

  • As an elderly rookie, I don't know how to download, install, & activate this software. Please help!

    I bought this but do not know how to download, install, and activate it. Please help!

    Let's start with the basics. Adobe have a baffling number of choices.
    1. What is your computer system? For example, Windows 7, Mac OS Yosemite
    2. What exactly are you trying to download and install? If you paid for it, check your receipt for the exact name.
    3. Did you pay for it already? If so did you subscribe or get a one time purchase?

  • How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7?

    How do i Install the Software Update Server for Windows 7? I get an error saying: Can't Install the Software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server.
    I downloaded the software so How do I install it?
    Do I install it all over again or when I have windows open?
    I am using Bootcamp.

    Back up your system drive completely. If you have no backup plan in place, now would be a good time to start. You can use CarbonCopyCloner to make a complete, bootable backup of your system on another drive or volume. After you have done this: download the combo update using the link supplied by Niel and run the installer.

  • How to download macbook pro (mid 2010) drivers for windows 7, without the included DVD (lost) ?

    Hello everyone,
    I am facing a problem with bootcamp on my Macbook pro 15" (Mid 2010, running Mos OS 10.6.6).
    I have successfully installed windows 7 via Bootcamp, but I lost the Drivers DVD furnished by Apple.
    I tried to download these using Bootcamp (v3.0.4), but bootcamp won't let me save it, i get this error :
    "the windows support software could not be saved to the selected folder"
    An Apple support article has been made for this problem ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3648 ), but it doesn't solve the problem in my case because I lost the furnished DVD.
    So here I am, struck on this drivers issue...
    So, my question is :
    How to download macbook pro (mid 2010) drivers for windows 7, without the included DVD (lost) ?
    Thank you for your help !
    Regards

    Aw, and I forgot, being in Thailand, they do not sell the installation DVD.

    hiya. thanks for your suggestion. i just tried it and it worked so thanks XD
    i wish apple would make an "exclude" option though tbh.
    i have some others called ... in the name "...soundtrack" (one word) or "hidden track" and "teaching track" !
    i've got another one literally called "track by track walk through" lol
    now im wishing there was just an option to select these oddballs and exclude them individually.
    i cant come up with rules for every single possibility, but i cannnn eliminate those odd songs when i see them if there was an exclude option.
    but thanks anyway xx

  • How do I Install or re-buy iPhoto for my Mac when the app can't lunch?

    How do I Install or re-buy iPhoto for my Mac when the app can't lunch?
    The App Store does not let me buy iPhoto from scratch nor update it. I used the original Applications Install DVD to re-install iPhoto, and the icon appeared but the app could not be used because iPhoto 2.1 is not compatible with the Mac operating system OS X (10.9.2)? I thried to update manually through apple support, and a notification of unauthorized licence did not let it happen.  What is this? What happened with my iPhoto? What can I do to solve this and safe my photos? I'm willing to pay for it, but even the app store say that it can't becuase it was suppousely bought through another account? Please help!

    Not launching is probablay not a software issue - it is probably a data issue
    No - iPhoto 2 version 2.1 is not compatible with Mavericks - or pretty much anything else - you need to purchase iPhoto '11 version 9.5.x from the App store

  • Purchased Audition but can't figure out how to download/install

    Recently bought a single app, monthly subscription to CC for Adobe Audition, but I can't figure out how to download and install it.
    I see the purchase order confirmed, but the app isn't showing up in 'my products' or subscriptions, and the only option I have is to download the trial version.
    What am I missing?

    Install the CC app and take it from there.
