HT5170 About Apple Remote Desktop client 3.5.3, what is it, is the question

Seeing this - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5170?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Apple Remote Desktop client 3.5.3 is included in the OS X Lion v10.7.4 Update,
and as a standalone update for Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard clients. This update provides general OS compatibility fixes.
That's a About explanation?
I have an update waiting - not applied of course.
No Idea what it is - or what it's for.
So go to link to find out - and it's Zero result.

It's the client for this application:
http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/
Apple bundles the client with all installations of OS X so administrators don't have to install it.
Regards.

HT201332 where do i find my Apple Remote Desktop client

I have the Apple Remote Desktop client installed on my Mac but cant find the application anywhere.? Where do i find it to start using. Thanks

Like varjak paw said, the client is only part of the ARD solution. By enable the client on your computer, you can connect to it from another mac on your local network using Apple Remote Desktop.
If your looking for a free altertive you could try VNC. The limitation of ARD and VNC is that without configuring your firewall you won't be able to connect to your mac from over the internet.
If you want an easy way to connect to your mac from over the internet I would suggest checking our logmein.

What are the bad things about Apple Remote Desktop

What are the bad things about Apple Remote Desktop? Need it for my assignment

Is your assignment about managing a classroom full of Macs?
Otherwise, Screen Sharing, or a VNC client/server, or TeameViewer.com, or LogMeIn.com might be better, and less expensive.
ARD is intended for managing a classroom or office full of Macs. It is overkill for remotely accessing a remote Mac or two.

Missing "sharing" option in system preferences after installing apple remote desktop client version 2.10

Hi All,
I installed a wrong version of Apple remote desktop client , 2.10 and the sharing menu under system preferences vanished. I tried to uninstall the Apple remote desktop with,
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2577
but no luck, but after restarting the macbook pro with lion 10.7.2, i see my sharing option enabled but when clicked, it says the system preference has to restart and confirming that it restarts in 32 bit mode and even after clciking the sharing option it says, "you can't open sharing preferences because it doesn't work on an intel-based mac"
. So i strongly believe the apple remote desktop is creating the issue.
Can someone help how to fix this please?
Thanks

Same problem here. I manage several remote Macs, but I have one MacBook which I can get no ARD access to (black icon). I can ping the IP, I can SSH into the MacBook, the ARD and Remote Login services are checked ON, the firewall is OFF. The ARD service is configured to allow my admin user full access - however, I get nothing. I have no trouble getting into the other Macs.
Any ideas?

Can Apple Remote Desktop Client 3.8 be used by hackers to hack into my account!

I received an update from Apple to install the Remote Desktop Client 3.8 and am now wondering if hackers can use this software to control my laptop!

Don't worry! First off, you already have Remote Desktop Client on your computer. The update is just an update from 3.7 to 3.8. It's a component of the operating system and does not give anyone remote access to your computer unless you have configured it to allow access. Even then, the remote person or computer needs to be given access to an account on your device or know your credentials to initiate connections. At the very least, you are making your computer MORE secure by keeping the remote client updated, not less, as the update may contain security related fixes to the client.

Apple Remote Desktop-client mac issue

     Dear all,
               I have using Apple Remote Desktop 3.7.2 on maverick,in that some of the client machine also visible offline, but i can take remote.
i don't no why.plz help me
Regards,
Venki

Yes I've tried to ping the IP address and I get a reply.
I've just discovered this morning that the issue appears to be with Apple remote desktop.
The issue came up again this morning...I ended up shutdown ARD completely then loaded it back up, and guess what! The MAC address was showing up properly. I've discovered this is working for SOME of my issues. For the ones that weren't displaying properly I deleted the computer account out of ARD and then manually added the computer though a scanner import via single network address. The scanner finds the computer and it displays the correct Ethernet ID.
So I’m guessing there is a bug with ARD and its mixing up/displaying the wrong Ethernet ID of some machines....

Where to get Apple Remote Desktop Client for MAC OSX 10.6 8

Hello, I have MAC OSX 10.6.8 and I wanted to know where to get Apple Remote Desktop that is compatible with OSX 10.6.8. The one that is showing in apple store for download will work only with the lastest MAC OS.X - Thanks all.

Welcome,
The Client is built into all OSX base software so there is no download. It's the Admin (controller) software that is downloaded

Apple Remote Desktop Client slow in mini

I'm using Apple Remote Desktop from my PowerBook. I can control an iMac G5 without any problems, but controlling my new intel Mini is very very slow... i can only work more or less if i put the screen without colors!
Is this normal? I can't understand why i can work remotely with the iMac very well, and so bad with the mini.
Mini Dual Core Mac OS X (10.4.6)

pergaps it's from the wirless connection on the new mini.. I heard they are wired... I guess it's not a remote problem, but a network one, since you have them connected..

About Apple Remote Desktop 3.5: version detail

Please
What's the number or reference — in parentheses — that follows 3.5?

Not always.
I would like to know what string is seen, in parentheses, by people who have obtained version 3.5 of Apple Remote Desktop through an update (example) or through the App Store (UK example).
Sorry, I could have clearer in my original question. (I intentionally avoided the expression build.)

Apple Remote Desktop - connect to computer after their password changed?

I have a problem with Apple Remote Desktop which is driving me up the walls.
When I observe or control a computer, Apple Remote Desktop saves the username and password so that next time I'm not prompted for a username or password.
Problem is, when the password on the computer changes and I once again try to control it, Apple Remote Desktop simply comes up with an "authentication failed" message. There is no option to put a new username and password in. I cannot find any option to delete previously stored passwords.
Currently I'm resorting to deleting:
/private/var/db/RemoteManagement/ClientCaches
/private/var/db/RemoteManagement/caches
It is extremely frustrating doing the above each time a computer's password changes!
I must be missing something. Does anyone have a better way of going about this?

Hi Zachary!
Have a look at RealVNC at http://www.realvnc.com/download.html. Install this on your Windows computer and be sure to configure a password for VNC connections. You should then be able to see your XP system in Apple Remote Desktop.
Keep in mind that the VNC software is free (unless you choose to purchase a version with more features) but the Apple Remote Desktop client is a commercial product http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/.
If you need a different (free) client for your Mac, I suggest using the Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection client found here http://www.microsoft.com/mac/otherproducts/otherproducts.aspx?pid=remotedesktopc lient. This only works with Professional version of Windows XP and not the Home version. Or you can downlod a VNC client for Mac such as Chicken of the VNC found here http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/.
Hope this helps! bill

Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard Widget v3.6 not functioning as advertised

Just saw there's an updated (A)RD Widget.
I've downloaded it but seems exactly the same as previous versions.
I can't view widget of MacMini Server. Instead has yellow triangle with exclamation point.
Can't interact/launch ARD by clicking on widget of any individual compter, SL or Lion.
Grey screen with or without spinning wheel for Lion clients.
Anyone getting the 3.6 widget to funcrtion as described?
From Apple:
About Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard Widget v3.6
The Apple Remote Desktop Dashboard widget* gives you an instant, at-a-glance view of the remote computers in your network.
It’s fully integrated with the Apple Remote Desktop administrative application, so a click on a particular computer will allow you to select and start working with any computer in the system.
* Requires a licensed copy of Apple Remote Desktop to be installed on your Mac.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1568

Same thing here.
I have 3 macs.
2 iMacs and a MacBok Pro.
MacBook Pro and iMac 1 (the newer) works fine with the widget. But both can't see the iMac 2, only the exclamation mark

HT201332 Remote Desktop Client Update?

Why does Apple Software update keep giving me Remote Desktop Client updates, when I do not have Apple Remote Desktop installed on my computer (to my knowledge)?
I have not updated it once since I've had this computer (about 3 years), and I don't intend to until I know what it is for.

The Mac OS X operating system is made up of many components. Things like CUPS for printing, Bonjour for local network Device Discovery, TCP/IP for network communication, USB Mass Storage Driver for flash drives and external driver, USB Human Interface Driver for a verity of mice and keyboards. There are hundreds if thousands of components.
One of those built-in Components is Apple Remote Desktop Client. Every Mac with 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 has Apple Remote Dekstop Client Built-In. It's just part of the operating system; you can find it in system prefrences sharing. It'd tighy next to printer sharing, remote access, internet sharing, file sharing, extra.
When enabled in system prfrences, sharing, Apple Remote Desktop Client, would typicly be used in a multi computer environment. Perhap one person would supports many uers remotely. Perhaps this user would proive technical support, answering questions, and provide training. OR perhaps one user has many computers; and they don't want to have to walk across the house or office to grab one file on the other computer.
While you may not use Apple Remote Desktop Client; it's probable a good idea to install the update. Apple Software Update may not offer you other updates important update untill you install all the udpates it currently offers you.
Even if it's a component that you currently do not use. Those updates can patch bugs, improve security, and improve performance of your computer as a whole.
