I can't upgrade clients from ARD admin

Hi all,
I am trying to upgrade all my client machines to ARD 3.3.2. But when I try doing this from ARD admin, it comes back failing with no error message returned. What could be causing this?
Thanks in advance...

Have you tried restarting the workstations and then trying the update? That's often cured the problem for me when an update fails.
Hope this helps.

Error in accessing ARD client 2.2.1 from ARD admin 3.2 via Airport

Hi all,
I was successfullly accessing mac-mini machine having ARD client 2.2.1 which was connected to ethernet cable from ARD admin 3.2. But now when I am trying to access same mac-mini machine which is now connected to airport, I am getting following error:
Machine is having old ARD client/agent.
Even though, ARD 3.2 supports ARD 2.2.1, why am I getting this error? How to resolve this error?
Thanks,
Palav

Because Chicken of the VNC doesn't use the full ARD client, only the VNC portion. The error you reported:
Machine is having old ARD client/agent.
is exactly what I'd expect when accessing a 2.2 client from ARD 3.2. You will need to update the client version to 3.2, and that will require that the ports in the Airport base station be open and forwarded so that the ARD administration application can get full access to perform the client upgrade.

Upgrade Client from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3 on Windows 7 / INS-30071

Hi,
I want to upgrade the client (Administrator) on my system from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3. Is this not directly possible due the new Update mechanism in 11.2.0.2? I can choose "Upgrade client", but it fails with INS-30071, and I can't find any logs to analyze this error further. OS is Windows 7.

Pl identify which version of Win 7 - you will need Professional or higher - http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e24187/pre_install.htm#CIHIAGFG
All you need to do is to install 11.2.0.3 into a new ORACLE_HOME, then uninstall 11.2.0.1

Can I upgrade directly from ColdFusion 9 Enterprise to ColdFusion 11 Enterprise without going to 10 first?

Can I upgrade directly from ColdFusion 9 Enterprise to ColdFusion 11 Enterprise without going to 10 first?
For those who have done this,
1. What quirks did you find that you had to overcome in your installation (I know that everyone's environment is different and produces differest results)?
2. What part of your code broke for which you had to find fixes?
Tips and suggestions for a smooth installation, besides following the installation document.
Thanks!

Create a car (archive file) in CF 9 enterprise which will capture all CF 9 settings like Data sources, Web services etc. Make sure when you are doing this, pop up blocker is disabled.
NOTE : While creating the archive file, give the full name with the absolute path in the package name. For example C:\Test\mypackage.car
Then move this car file into the server where you want to install CF 11. Install CF 11 and then deploy this archive (car) file. All CF 9 settings will be migrated to CF 11 enterprise.
Else, if you want to install CF 11 on the same server where CF 11 is installed, then remove the connector for all the websites which are configured with CF 9, make sure the CF 9 services are running and then run the CF 11 installer and at the end of CF 11 installation, you will get a dialogue box which will ask you to migrate CF 9 settings in CF 11.
Run the Code Analyzer in CF 11 Administrator to check whether any the CF 9 code used in your application is breaking in CF 11 or not

Can I upgrade directly from CS3 to CS5?

Can I upgrade directly from CS3 to CS5?

Deactivate CS3 on your old computer. Install and activate CS3 on your new computer. After you have done that, you can upgrade to CS5.
From the forum thread posted earlier: If CS3 is detected by the installer as being already installed in the machine, it will read the old serial number transparently and will prompt you only for the serial number for CS5.

HT4854 Can I upgrade directly from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion

Can I upgrade directly from OS X 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion??

Yes, you can, but make sure your machine meets the system requirements:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
When you upgrade, you need to do the following:
1) Check all your software for compatibility with the new system.
2) Repair the hard drive with Disk Utility.
3) Make a full backup of your whole system using Time Machine.
4) Ideally, make a second full backup of your whole system using something else, like Carbon Copy Cloner. (I consider two backups to be the minimum.)
5) Wait until you have time to deal with any possible problems that crop up.
6) Install the upgrade.
Some people recommend erasing your hard drive and installing the new system "cleanly." That certainly helps ensure that you don't have any problems with the new system, but is often unnecessary. I prefer to save clean installs for when they are actually necessary, but that is only an opinion. You can certainly choose to do a clean install if you prefer.

Can I upgrade directly from elements 3 to the latest version?

Can I upgrade directly from Elements 3 to the latest version?

Yes. But compare prices. Sometimes sites like Amazon have a lower price for the full product rather than the upgrade version. They are identical; so buy whichever is cheapest.

Gateways can't be restarted from the Admin Console

Hi,
We have two gateways and two servers setup. We have changed the names of the gateways after we completed the installation. everything works fine except that the gateways can't be restarted from the admin console. The administration guide says that this happens for one of two reasons. I have checked both and non of them applied. I am afraid that this is an indication of more serious issue. Any help ?

never mind,
I found out that we had the old gateways names in ips.gateway.host inside /etc/opt/SUNWips/platform.conf on both gateways.
when i replaced the old name with the new one and restarted the gateways, i could restart them from the admin console

Can I upgrade directly from..?

Hi,
I have a Panther 10.3 full version and I have purchased Tiger 10.4 a couple of months ago which is an upgrade version. I haven't got the chance to install it because I am moving to another country.
I would like to know can I upgrade directly from 10.3 or I have to upgrade step by step till 10.39?
Thank you

Well, according to Apple's Tech Specs for Leopard (http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/), you'll be just fine if you upgrade directly.
I would upgrade to Tiger first though, and play it safe.

Can I upgrade straight from 3.0.19 to 3.6.10 without losing bookmarks, history etc

Can I upgrade straight from 3.0.19 to 3.6.10 without losing bookmarks, history etc? I can't afford to lose all of these as they are work-related.

All your bookmarks history etc... is stored in your user profile on your pc, not in the install directory of firefox so when you install a newer version it only over writes the files in its install directory and not your bookmarks etc...
There is also some add-ons that can backup all your user data so that you can restore them later.
or
If you want to be safe you can manually backup your profile before you begin the upgrade.
On Windows Vista or 7 you will find your profile at;
C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<random-generated-profile-name>.default
On XP I believe it is at;
C:\Document and settings\<username>\Application Data\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<random-generated-profile-name>.default
Just copy the contents of the above folder to somewhere else on your hard drive and if your bookmarks didn't copy over then you can manually place the files back into the above directory.

How can i upgrade version from 10.6.8 to 10.9.4

How can i upgrade version from 10.6.8 to 10.9.4?

Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be very prudent if you to backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected Mac formatted hard drive. Then use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR use a data cloning app to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
To install Mavericks, you need one of these Macs:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple from a company which got bought out, I believe by Micrsoft and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.
http://roaringapps.com/
If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUoMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest version of OS X Mavericks by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks from the Mac App Store.

Help! Problem downgrading from ARD Admin 3.0 to 2.2; LAN clients still 2.2.

Hi gang! This is my first post here. I work as a technician in a university computer lab with 250 machines. About 10% of these are Macs, and we manage them with Mike Bombich's NetRestore, Faronics Deep Freeze, and Apple Remote Desktop. All clients are running ARD 2.2.
I installed ARD Admin 3.0 on our office eMac to see some of the new features. Sadly, most of them will not work until you upgrade the clients to 3.0. I aso dislike how a majority of older commands from 2.2 (like UNIX commands, Lock screen, etc), are suddenly not working in 3.0. How convenient! Just upgrade your client software and presto! Not happening, yet.
So I went to uninstall the ARD Admin from my machine. Here is what I did to roll back: I have deleted anything to do with Apple Remote Desktop from the following folders:
/Applications/
/Library/Application support/Apple/
/Library/Preferences/
/Library/Receipts/
~/Library/Application Support/
~/Library/Preferences/
I reinstalled the software (it said "Install" not Upgrade) and launched the freshly installed ARD 2.2 Admin. It prompted me for my serial number and then I sat waiting for over 30 seconds for the main screen to appear. Finally it spat an error message at me, then crashed: "The Remote Desktop Administrator failed to start due to an unexpected error."
I can't find this in the KBase, or perhaps I'm using the wrong search terms. What did I do wrong, and how can I fix it?
eMac 800Mhz, TiBook 700MHz Mac OS X (10.4.6) In lab: 4 x Intel iMacs, 24 x Quicksilver G4s

Remove ARD again, using the instructions here.
Then reinstall your 2.2 ARD administrator. If you have an earlier version of ARD 2 on your installation disk, make sure you update it to 2.2, either through Software Update or via the downloadable updater, before you try and launch the administration application for the first time.
Hope this helps.
Just FYI, if you try to use a 3.0 admin app with 2.2 clients, or a 2.2 admin with 3.0 clients, all that works is the VNC functions which means that other than the ability to upgrade the clients to 3.0 (where applicable), you only get Observe and Control.

Issues with upgrading client from 1.2 to 3.0

I've upgraded a bunch of Mac's ARD client from 1.2 to 3.0 using ARD 3 admin's upgrade client feature. On some, I can't Observe or Control. So far I can copy files, run reports, and see current status. I can also ssh into machines with no problems. I've run the updater a second time and no go.
All of these Macs were on 10.3.6. So sshed into them and ran all updaters and repaired permissions. Then upgraded ARD client.
Any thoughts on whats the cause of this problem and how to remedy it?
Any suggestions is appreciated.

More info after some testing.
Noticed machines that started out with base OS 10.3.1 with subsequent updates are the ones having observe/control issue. Most update progressions: 10.3.2, 10.3.3, 10.3.6 combo, 10.3.9 combo.
Machines that started out with base OS 10.3.5 are not effected after upgrading to 10.3.9.
Repaired permissions, updated binding, re-applied 10.3.9 combo update to one machine with no change.
Removed client by taking following steps - KB 108021
$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu
$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/
$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ARDPref.prefPane
$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/StartupItems/RemoteDesktopAgent/
$ sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ARDAgent.plist not applicable in any of my configs
$ sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist
Built an client installer package using ARD 3 admin and still can't Observe/Control but most other items seem to function.
I'm suspecting this has to do with base OS these machines were built on. Running out of ideas. I would like to find out whats preventing me to control machine instead of rebuilding a bunch of machine. Any input is appreciated.
