Install ARD 1.2 Admin on Tiger

I have the ARD 1.0 Install CD which I have used to install ARD 1.0 on to my Tiger-enable Mac. However when I launch ARD I get the message "The Remote Desktop software doesn't appear to be installed correctly. Please verify it is installed and restart this computer." I installed it as an administrator user. I cannot find an updater for ARD Admin 1.0->1.2. Can anyone tell where I can find one should there be one?

Sorry, but it's not possible. Tiger will only work
with ARD 2.2, client or administrator.
Hi there
I managed to obtain from a colleague the update for Remote Desktop Admin 1.0 to Remote Desktop Admin 1.2 - it is on the Apple site 'somewhere'. Installed it and it works fine. I use it to control my 50(!) OS 9.2.2 clients with ARD Client 1.2.4 installed on them.

  • ARD 2.2 admin issues when client is at Login Window

    I've used ARD for a long time now. Currently running ARD 2.2 Admin on Tiger 10.4.2 on iBook G3 800 MHz. I've always been able to see the clients listed as available, even if client is at the Login Window, even after a restart.
    Issue is w/ one particular client running ARD 2.2 client on Tiger 10.4.2 on a iMac 2 GHz G5.
    Issue is, when the client's G5 is rebooted, I cant access it when it's at the Login Window. It doesn't even show as available. Once he logs in, his iMac shows as available, and I can access it. If he the logs out, I do see the iMac as available at the Login Window and can access it.
    However, issue also is reflected in SSH. I can't SSH to his machine until he logs in as well.
    Again, this is only after the system initially starts up after a reboot for example.
    Seems to me that networking isn't properly starting up and only after user logs in does it start up.
    I know this might not be best posted in ARD discussion, but I figured I'd start here.
    Any ideas? Thanx in advance.

    Small consolation but I'm seeing the exact same behavior. ARD Admin is a PM G5 and it has no trouble at all seeing/controlling a TiBook 400 (Tiger), a Cube (Tiger Server), a Yikes PM (Panther), or a 17" iMac (Panther). There's an iBook G3 (Panther), though, that doesn't appear to support any kind of incoming network connection unless one of the users is logged in.

  • ARD 2.2 Admin Crashes When Scanning Local Network

    Out of the blue, my ARD Admin application began to crash when scanning the Local Network.
    I deleted the application's preferences file (com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist) and retried with the same results.
    Installed ARD admin application on a different machine with a fresh 10.4.2 OS install and it is still crashing whilst scanning.
    My Network Engineers swears that nothing has changed recently on the network.
    Wondering if anyone else has seen this.

    I was having the same problem until this morning, and one of my associates in a neighbor district discovered the problem. ARD 2.2 is VERY concerned about DNS entries.
    We are using OS X Server for our DNS, and what I did was create a bogus machine entry for each subnet. Thus, if I wanted to search our senior high lab subnet (10.136.43.x) I created an entry for 10.136.43.0. There is no physical machine at that address, but it forces OS X Server to create an IN-ADDR.ARPA record for that subnet. I found that to be a lot easier than manually editing the associated DNS files.
    It does work superbly. Three other folks in our district with ARD crashes tried doing searches and they were all successful. Adding the IN-ADDR.ARPA entries wasn't time consuming as we don't have a ton of subnets . We've defined standards for where machines should be as follows:
    (Device: Range)
    Switches: 10.x.1.100-150
    Printers: 10.x.2.1-50
    DHCP: 10.x.2.150-254
    Classrooms: 10.x.3.1-254
    Labs: 10.x.4.1-100
    Media Center: 10.x.4.101-150
    The junior high and high school are a bit different because they have more lab machines, but we try to stick to the basic scheme. This works great for us because 1) it allows us to know where devices should appear and 2) it greatly limits the range ARD must scan to pick up all machines of a particular kind (e.g. classroom or lab). We have a bit of reconfiguration to do because we should be able to have static classroom and DHCP units all within the 10.x.3 subnet, but that will be taken care of over the course of this year.
    I hope this helps some folks.

  • ARD 3.6 Admin on 10.8 having issues connecting to 10.6 machine.

    basically i have no issues connecting to any of the 10.7 machines in the office (all have 3.6 client installed now).
    have no issues connecting to 10.7 machines that have dual monitors (most).
    no issues with the few 10.4 and 10.5 machines i still have. nor any of the Xserves on 10.6 nor one single-screen 10.6 desktop i have.
    BUT... there is *1* 10.6 machine that i can not connect to. the only main difference between it and other 10.6 machines is that it has dual monitors.
    when it connects i only can see the external monitor showing up. then just pure black on the primary laptop screen. if i switch views to show one or the other... stays the same. a black screen on the main laptop display. if i switch to the black screen one and turn off 'scaling' i can only see the bottom half of the screen... but placed in the upper half of the viewer (with black beneath it). i can interact with it... but only with the things i can see on the bottom of the screen.
    if i swap which is the "main" screen on the client in Displays (dragging title bar to other screen) ... there is no change. i can only see the external.
    on a few of the 10.7 machines with dual monitors i *did* see a similar problem after installing 3.6 client. but after a restart they have been perfectly fine. only happened on a few machines though. not all.
    so i restarted that dual-monitor 10.6 machine (it leaves the office frequently lately) and there was no change. turned Remote Management off / on. no change. resintalled the 3.5.3 ARD Client (no 3.6 on 10.6) ... no change.
    the only change i did see... was that my ARD admin no longer can connect to it at all now (!!!). never times out either. just "Connecting" forever. however with direct client-style Screen Sharing i could connect. and there was no change.
    the client machine itself is a Late 2009 MacBook (rubber bottom style). 2.26 C2D with 4GB RAM.
    anyone else seen anything similar with 10.6 machines with dual-monitors connecting from a ARD 3.6 Admin on 10.8?
    the machine itself can't be upgraded beyond 10.6 for the time-being (it needs a couple PPC apps with no replacements that are Intel). so that currently isn't an option.

    I have similar issues.
    10.7.4 running ARD 3.6. Connecting to laptops running 10.6.... "when it connects i only can see the external monitor showing up. then just pure black on the primary laptop screen."
    Trying the same thing from ARD 3.5.2 running on a 10.6.8..... same problem.
    Trying the same things from ARD 3.4 running on 10.5.8.... works perfectly well. Can switch between dual or either views......

  • Can't figure out how to install ARD on Headless Xserve G5 running 10.4.4

    Ok, I'm getting really frustrated not being able to figure this out. I have a new Xserve G5 running 10.4.4 I have no services currently rinning on it. I have all the sever administration apps installed (also 10.4.4) But my first order of business is to install some other software on the server.
    I bought Apple Remote Desktop 2.2 Unlimited and installed the administer stuff on my powerbook.
    But When i came to seting up the sever for ARD im baffled. Most documentation refers to setting up ARD on the server though the aever admin app. But I can't find any reference to ard in server admin.
    What am I missing ?

  • Former client wants to install ARD as administrator

    I tried to install ARD and received this message. "The Remote Desktop Administrator software does not match the installed Client software version. The Remote Desktop Administrator software must be upgraded on this computer." How can I remove client status so I can install program to become administrator?

    If this is 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 3.1 admin
    Otherwise, you'll have to completely uninstall ARD and then reinstall it. Follow these instructions for the uninstall:

  • Installing apps from non-admin account

    I read an earlier post that installing apps from a non-admin account is a bad idea because SL applies the wrong permissions. I normally install from a non-admin account.... I don't see that the permissions on stuff I've installed are any different from apps that came with SL. Most everything is drwxr-xr-x. Was this fixed, or am I missing the problem.

    +"That isn't a problem at all. Applications should not require that the user have write+

    I didn't say anything about a user having write access permission, I was talking about read
    permissions. All apps installed in the /Applications directory should have group permissions
    set to admin or wheel (depending on the type of app), so the system can read them without
    problems. That's the Unix way.
    I completely disagee. The system already has read permission to all applications in the /Applications folder. It doesn't matter what the group privilege is set to. The "other" permissions are set to read only. System (root) can read it regardless. If you can show me an Apple tech article that says that apps installed in the /Applications folder should have their group privilege changed to "admin" or "wheel" then I would gladly take that back.
    +"Leopard does not put any ACLs on anything installed in the /Applications folder"+
    That's right, it doesn't normally, but if it finds an app that it does not have permission
    to read, it will assign an ACE(s) to it so that it can access it.
    I just tested that in 10.5.8, and it does not happen as you say. I can't try it in 10.6. I'd appreciate if you could provide a specific example where you can make this happen.
    Besides, all users, by default, have read only access to all applications. Unless a user specifically changes permissions on an app to deny read access to everyone, then this isn't an issue.

    I know what ACLs are and how they work. I have read through those and cannot find in any of those threads anything about what you had been talking about.
    +"That is also false. Root rights are granted by the user entering the admin username+
    +and password when prompted. It does not matter where an application is installed in+
    +order for it to be given root permission."+
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963
    "Application installers, Applications folder
    A third-party application installer incorrectly sets permissions on the files it installs,
    or even the entire Applications folder. Symptoms of the Application folder's permissions
    being set incorrectly include applications appearing in the dock as question marks, and/or
    not being able to connect to the Internet. It is also possible that software installed while
    logged in as one user will be inaccessible when logged in as another. To avoid this, make sure
    you are logged in with your normal user account when installing software that you wish to use
    with that account."
    That has to do with third party installer apps that developers have not written properly to conform to OS X standards. It isn't an issue with applications that install by drag-and-drop. It sounds to me like you have looked at the permissions that Apple has put on its own apps and jumped to the conclusion that third party apps won't work unless they have the exact same permissions applied to them. That simply isn't true.
    "Software access=user access
    Most applications executed by a user only have access to the files that the user has access to.
    Backup software, for example, may not back up Mac OS X system files that have root ownership."
    Utilities, especially disk utilities, are to be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder, for reasons
    stated above.
    No. That is completely wrong. Like I said earlier, an application is given root permission by user authentication. It matters not one little bit what the application's enclosing folder is. I personally have no third party apps in /Applications/Utilities; just what Apple puts there as part of a standard OS X installation.

  • How to install AIR in Non-Admin rights PC ?

    Who can teach me how to solve under issue ?
    1.How to transfer AIR file to exe file
    2.How to install AIR in Non-Admin rights computer?
    -->In my company all PC has contorled, i want to install application in any Notebook for Sales Using,they can using AIR offline in anywhere
    Thank you so much!!

    On Mac OS, to install or update an AIR application, the user needs to have adequate system privileges to install to the application directory (and administrative privileges if the application needs to update the runtime). On Windows, a user needs to have administrative privileges.
    IT administrators can install AIR applications silently using standard desktop deployment tools. For more information, see "Enterprise deployment" in the following page:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/AIR/1.5/air_admin/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11c0f5986ec-8000.ht ml#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11c0f59823a-7fee

  • Using both ARD 3.1 admin and ARD 2.2 admin - troublesome issue

    I have searched and found various posts on this, but no comprehensive thread. Many who have used ARD 3 have encountered the "This Task Will Fail - Old Remote Desktop Client Software" when trying to perform tasks on clients with old (pre-3.0) software. It seems a simple task to upgrade to the latest client software, and it is quite easy.
    But doesn't anybody else find it odd that if you use ARD Admin 2.2, you can perform all those tasks on computers with the 2.x client software, including copying files, etc. What logical sense does it make that the latest version 3.x admin cannot perform those tasks on a 2.2 client that its predecessor could? You can't even send a simple Unix task such as to repair permissions.
    If you put those two together, you may just come to the conclusion that it doesn't matter, because you can just upgrade the client software with a click, and I thought the same thing, at first. But there is a situation I find myself in that is extremely annoying.
    I have used ARD 2.2 in my own consulting business for several years with small clients, home offices, etc. But now I was issued a MBP with ARD 3.1 at my day job, so I was able to get rid of my Powerbook G4 I used in my consulting and transfer the ARD 2.2 to my iMac G5 at home. I keep all my personal files on that iMac, because with my router conifigured properly, I can access it from the MacBook Pro from almost anywhere. The iMac retrieves and stores all my personal e-mail, photos, etc.
    Without even thinking, I updated the iMac to version 3 client as soon as I got the first "task will fail" error. I then, however, found out that ARD 2.2 Admin will not launch if the same computer has ARD 3 client software-- completely unusable. I had to uninstall the 3.1 client files from the iMac and reinstall 2.2 admin, which puts the 2.2 client on it. So now when I am home at night or connecting from elsewhere, I am limited to only controlling/viewing the iMac. Well, I paid good money for 2.2 admin shortly before version 3.0 came out, and I could not get any upgrade pricing. I don't need anything more than the features 2.2 offers for my side work, so another $299 would be wasted money for the 10-user version. I just think it's unbelievable that the 3.x client disables 2.x admin, and 3.x admin cannot do anything other than control the screen of 2.x clients, not even send a message or lock screen-- again, these are things that 2.2 admin can do with no trouble at all. A 3.x version unable to do things a 2.x version was able to easily do? Does that make sense other than to force an upgrade?
    I like 3.1, I use some of the advanced features that 2.2 doesn't have, but this has become quite annoying. More annoying, in fact, than all the failed attempts to upgrade the client software of some of the older Macs at work - no error message, no warning it would fail because the Macs were using 10.3.8 or lower-- just a never-ending task running. I finally figured out that they were not running 10.3.9 and that was the trouble. 3.1 admin couldn't tell me that? Yes, that was pretty annoying.
    OK, this has ended up kind of a rant, and I apologize. But if anyone knows a workaround to the above mentioned annoyance managing a Mac with 2.2 Admin on it, please let me know.
    Thanks--

    Thanks for the info--I did not realize that so much had changed.
    It seems to me, then, that at a minimum, Apple could make a version 3.x client which would not interfere with an ARD 2.x admin running on the same machine. It's not reasonable to assume that their customers would need to or have the budget to upgrade all their ARD admins when Apple offers no upgrade options at all. A 2.x Admin machine will often still need to be managed on a network for updates, etc.
    If I had paid upgrade pricing for 3.x, I would not feel so strongly about this, I would then feel that I got a deal so that the 2.x client should be retired. But having to buy the 3.x at full price instead makes me feel the need to use the 2.x as long as I can - 3.x is then not an upgrade, it's a separate product. I understand that the Admin app changed a lot, but it would not seem to me such a big deal to make a "universal" ARDclient which could respond properly to whichever version of the Admin was directing it. Apple has a long history of having to do such creative software development.
    OK, I'm out. I mark it question answered, but I am going to keep harping on Apple to release a universal client.

  • Error 1856 yeah tried re-install and running as admin still have that error

    yeah tried re-install and running as admin still have that error any Ideas?

    Good start.
    Only two things I did differently. I used a new admin account. I opened a .mov file freshly downloaded from Apple's web site.
    Log into a different account with admin privileges (create a new one if necessary)
    Download a .mov file and store it on the hard drive.
    Open the .mov file.
    Move that same file to a temp folder on hard drive and assign rights to problem user.
    Log off and log in as the troubled user.
    That same file should now open
    Try opening one of the files that could not open before.
    If that doesn't work,  (I didn't do this, it was on another Apple support forum post elsewhere)
    Fully uninstall QuickTime
    Download the K-lite Codec pack (I downloaded the full version here http://www.free-codecs.com/Klite_codec_packdownload.htm)
    Install it and accept its changes it will make
    Once K-lite is installed, now you can re-install QuickTime
    Try opening the file again
    G'luck.

  • Problems installing ARD 2.2 on OS10.4.3

    I'm having a problem installed ARD on my eMac running 10.4.3. It installs fine and adds itself to the applications folder but when I go to open it, it just keeps saying it has to install necessary software and tries to install the client software. Then it closes remote desktop. If I go to open ARD again it goes through the same cycle, this is after typing in the serial number. Any suggestions? I've repaired the permissions and uninstalled/reinstalled several times. Thanks for the help!

    You're profile says you're running mac os x 10.3.9 and you state you're running 10.4.3. Make sure you've made all of the updates possible on your computer. If you haven't, uninstall ARD 2.2, update your computer, re-boot and reinstall ARD 2.2
    Just a suggestion. Good luck.

  • Is there any way to install a plugin without admin rights on windows 7

    Hi all,
    I've developed a plugin for adobe indesign cs5. I was able to install my plugin(by creating .msi file) into indesign plugins folder, when extension manager is opened as administrator.
    I just want to know, if I can install the plugin without admin rights.
    FYI: My plugin will add a link to File menu on menubar of the indesign application, clicking which will execute the scripts.
    Please let me know if you want any other information.
    Thanks for any ideas/support.
    Regards,
    Srikanth

    InDesign will load plugins from the path specified in the PlugInConfig.txt file in the user's InDesign preferences directory, which does not require administrative privileges. See "Using PlugInConfig.txt" on pp.12- of the "Getting Started with the Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK" (getting-started.pdf) in the SDK. Specifically:
    Using PlugInConfig.txt
    1. If InDesign is running, exit it.
    2. Create a text file named “PlugInConfig.txt” in the InDesign preference directory, and enter
    the following text into it:
    =Path
    NOTE: The inDesign preference folder is located in the following directory (where <locale> is a
    locale-specific subdirectory; for example, en_US for English):
    Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
    Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
    Windows Vista: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\
    Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
    Mac OS: <user-home>/Library/Preferences/
    Adobe InDesign/Version #.#/<locale>
    3. Open the PlugInConfig.txt file in a text editor and edit the sections as desired. For example,
    the following tells InDesign to load every plug-in in the sdk folder:
    =Path
    "C:\Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK\build\win\debug\sdk
    NOTE: The preceding example is only for Windows. On Mac OS, use ‘:’ as the path separator.
    NOTE: You also can use a “=Exclude” tag to exclude a certain plug-in from being loaded. This
    is useful if you do not want to load everything in the “=Path” folder.
    NOTE: This is target specific. You cannot launch the release version of InDeisgn with debug
    plug-ins. It is convenient to add both debug and release paths, commenting out the  target that is not in use. For single-line comments, use “;” (semicolon).
    4. Save the PlugInConfig.txt file.
    5. Restart InDesign.
    6. Verify the set of plug-ins loaded by selecting the About Plug-ins menu.
