Problem with remote desktop and lock screen

I know of the easy way to immediately lock a Mac's screen by clicking the menu bar lock icon from KeychainAccess. This works on every system under my control (rMBP running Mavericks, MacMini with 10.5 and Mavericks). However when I control the Macs via Remote Desktop (currently 3.7.2), that lock icon behaviour changes.
Trying to lock a 10.5 system, the screen inside the Remote Desktop window goes black immediately. Moving the mouse activates the password dialog. That is what I want. Doing the same in a remote Mavericks system, the screen goes to a dark blackish semi-transparent state. Moving the mouse immediately restores the normal desktop view, no password asked. Is this a feature or a bug in Remote Desktop? This change in behaviour must have come in around Lion or Mountain Lion.

Hi
Do you use the Intel Proset Utility to configurate the WLan connection?
Try to configure the WLan using this tool and check if the Wlan would disconnect again.
Im also interesting what Wlan driver did you use?
Did you use one from the Intel page?
If not, check the Intel page for the newest WLan driver version.

  • Problems with Remote Desktop and Back to My Mac

    It's impressive how quickly Apple removed my post because of its tone. I hope they respond with equal speed and verve to my concerns.
    I need to get Remote Desktop operational. Can someone walk me through the process of getting Remote Desktop to "see" my home computer? The current online video tutorial for Remote Desktop is outdated and no longer resembles the current UI for setting up Remote Desktop.
    What about Back to My Mac? Can I get help with that, too? I figure if I can get at least RD or BTMM running properly I'll be able to do what I want to do.

    The subject of connecting ARD via the Internet has been covered here many times already (search the forum for "Internet"), but take a look at this web page:
    http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm
    It should help, though you may have to refer to your router's documentation for specifics on opening and forward ports in that particular unit.
    "Back to my Mac" is a different feature of Mac OS X and has it's own forum:

  • Problem with Remote Desktop on iPad 2 and windows 8.1 pro

    I downloaded the Microsoft Remote Desktop app from the App Store on my iPad 2. I typed in the IP address for my windows 8.1 pro computer on my iPad 2 in school to try connecting to my windows 8.1 pro computer at home. I'm having
    a hard time doing it. Do I need a rd remote gateway to access my computer from outside my local network. If so, how do I find my gateway server name? Also, I saw somewhere that I have to press accept in a pop up message on the computer your trying to connect
    to. Is this true? No one is home during the day and my iPad 2 has to stay in school. Can you please give me a step by step guide with photos to help me connect to my windows 8.1 pro computer from my iPad 2 from school, which is of course outside my local network.

  • Problems with remote control and user accounts - error 1759?

    We're running:
    -XP Pro SP2 clients with Zen SP1 IR3a agent, 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
    -We are NOT running Middle Tier.
    -Novell servers are running Netware 6.5 SP7, E-directory 8.7.3.10b or 8.8.
    -Zen server is also SP1 IR3a.
    We have no problem using remote control on workstation objects. We are having intermittent issues with remote controlling user objects. When the issue occurs, we receive the following error, "Error 1759: The selected user is not logged in on any workstations" even though the user is in fact logged in. After some more research, it appears that the "networkAddress" attribute of the user object is blank so we feel that this is the root cause. My question is what would cause the networkAddress attribute to randomly not update? For instance we had a user (verified his login) who we could not remote via the user object (workstation object worked). We checked his networkAddress attribute and found that it was empty. User rebooted and logged in again and his networkAddress attribute populated, and then we could remote control him via the user object. Now this isn't always the case after a reboot. There doesn't appear to be any pattern to when the networkAddress attribute does or does not update. In fact, this particular user has a laptop so he boots it up fresh every morning yet he was not showing a network address when he logged in initially today.
    We've followed the troubleshooting steps in Novell Documentation without any success. Is there anything else that we might be missing, especially with respect to getting the networkAddress attribute to update? We ran a DSreport on that attribute and found about 500 out of a total of 1500 users had no networkAddress. Some of those are sure to be legitimate but that number is much too high for the number of people that should be in the office.
    I've read some older threads on the subject but none of them really provide a firm solution. Also most of the older threads reference Middle Tier which we are not using.
    Thanks in advance.

    > 4.91 SP2 Netware client.
    You could try this TID:
    "A user will no longer have an entry in their "Network Address" attribute
    even though they are logged into the eDirectory Tree."
    http://www.novell.com/support/viewCo...1262&sliceId=1
    "Resolution"
    "This was fixed in the 4.91 SP3 client. NWFS.SYS was modified so that it
    will check the monitor connection on a reconnect and if it is not connected
    close the connection and try and get a new monitor connection to the tree.
    Prior to the 4.91 SP3 client, the solution is to have the user login again
    so that it issues the NDS Finish Login request again that will populate
    Network Address again."

  • Problem with remote control and Windows 7 - HP Pavilion 6301eu

    I installed Windows 7 32-bit and my remote control does not work. I have tried all possible drivers and still nothing ... Photo driver attached. Does anyone have a link to the current drivers for the remote control and Windows 7? thank you

    Hi John:
    Thanks but, I had already done this. I was having THAT problem with Encore (could not even initialize before tanking) when I first installed it and that's when I updated the Roxio engine. I don't know what else there is to update or correct at this point.
    There was one thing that occurred to me: When I was using XP, I had to disable Open GL in order to get Encore to stabilize. I've heard one recommendation for Encore that one must disable graphics acceleration. I would like try that here except I can't figure out how to do that in Windows 7.
    I've been Googling "Windows 7 Disable Graphics Accel" and have come up with nothing useful.
    Thanks for your help though and if you have any other ideas, I'm all ears.

  • Wee Problem with Parallels Desktop and the Westmere Mac Pros

    Just got my new Westmere 8-Core Mac Pro last Friday, and spent the last four days in agony.
    I used Migration Assistant to transfer over my accounts from my old Mac Pro, but it crashed hard -- so hard that I had to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of the system. So I decided to do a clean install of all of my programs as well, and the Westmere crashed on the Parallels Desktop installation. And, again, it crashed so hard that I had to reformat the hard drive and do a clean install of everything all over again.
    Today, I read a review of the Westmere Mac Pros in Macworld (http://www.macworld.com/article/153704/2010/08/quad8_core_macpro_2010.html?lsrc=top2), and learned:
    We ran into a problem running Parallels on the Westmere-based Mac Pros, so we could not complete the Speedmark 6 suite of tests. When booted into 64-bit mode (as the new Mac Pros do by default) the systems would crash with Parallels installed. Booting into 32-bit mode would allow the systems to start up, but we still couldn’t use Parallels. We eventually tried a complete wipe and reinstall from the Mac Pro’s systems disc and downloaded the very latest version of Parallels to eliminate any other potential problems, and had the same issue. Apple and Parallels are aware of the problem and assure me that Parallels is working diligently on a fix. The application worked just fine on the new quad-core Mac Pro with the Nehalem processor.
    Hoped I saved somebody some time.

    Hi akapod,
    Looks like they may have the fix out.
    Mac Pro (Mid 2010): Kernel panic when installing or restarting Parallels Desktop 5 for Mac
    Please let me know if it's available and fixes it.
    Thanks,

  • 3 problems With: Accelometer, Safari, And Home Screen Sliding, Update??

    Hey Guys, i just got a 16GB iPhone today, and i noticed that sliding from one home screen to the other is like 1/8 slower than other iphones i tried, its a small fraction, but i want to enjoy my iphone to the fullest.
    The second problem is concerning the accelometer, sometimes it takes about 10 seconds for it to change landscapes, and when it actually works right, its moves not in the same smooth way ive tried on other iphones too.
    The final problem is concerning safari browser, whenever i have 3 pages or more, sometimes it closes by its own, and there's that accelometer problem again, screen changes differently every time.
    I absloutly love it, no doubt about that, but i really want to enjoy it to the fullest, without any problems, so what do you think guys, should i update to 1.1.4, or is it all in my head??
    Thanks for any help you give
    Godfather

    Thanks for the info Kevin, next time I reset I will clear the cache too and see if it works better for me than just the reset.
    Also to the OP. Like Kevin said, the iphone must be nearly totally vertical for the accelerometer to register the change quickly. I was just testing and if I was holding the phone on a slant towards being horizontal and then rotate into landscape it takes several seconds to rotate. If I hold it vertical and then rotate its nearly instant. If you lay down on a table and then rotate it doesn't move at all.
    I'm not sure why your settings screen would be lagging. Make sure your finger movements are smooth I suppose. And also safari will lag in doing anything while it is actively loading data from the net.
    Edit - with further investigation it looks like it needs to be no more than at a 45 degree angel from vertical position for the accelerometer to pick up the change in orientation.

  • Problem with AE CS5 and laptop screen resolution during install..

    Hello everyone,
    I bought AE and I am very disappointed.  When I went to install the  application, I got the following errors and it stopped installing.
    Exit Code: 7
    -------------------------------------- Summary  --------------------------------------
    - 0 fatal error(s), 54 error(s), 52 warning(s)
    WARNING: Display requirements not met for  {DA1B174B-4297-467C-9EF8-0AB8D4D5171E}
    WARNING: Payload cannot be installed due to dependent operation  failure
    My max screen resolution is 1366x768 and the requirement is  1280x1024.
    I don't plan on buying a screen that large.  Is there a fix for  this? perhaps editing the registry? I won't mind the small work area.  I  can manage.  does AE CS4 have this resolution requirement?  I have an  opengl capable graphics card in my laptop so I don't think that is an  issue here. any help would be much appreciated. thanks

    ok I think I was able to bypass the " Display requirements not met for {DA1B174B-4297-467C-9EF8-0AB8D4D5171E}" error during install. I hooked up an exteral monitor with the required resolution and I did not see that error message again.  However, I am still getting the following error messages
    <code>
    WARNING: Payload cannot be installed due to dependent operation failure
    </code>
    could it be that my graphics card does not support opengl? how can I make sure it supports opengl 2.0?
    the graphics card that I have is an integraded intel media graphics accelerator.  I am quite sure it would support opengl2.0. any thoughts? thanks
    My brother has a screen resolution of 1240x780 and yet he was able to install AE CS5 without any errors at all.  He has an ATI mobility Raedon Graphics card.  whats up with that? also, he cannot hear any sound from avi videos in AE.  He has tried everything even raising the decibals level in the track.

  • Problems with Yosemite (reboot and choppy screen image)

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite. I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15" and am running 10.10.2
    In all my years of using OSX I think I have been forced to do a hard restart MAYBE 6 times. Ever. And I've been here from the beginning of OSX and before. Since updating maybe two or three weeks ago I have had to hard restart about a dozen times. I am disappointed. The computer becomes non-responsive, yet I don't see the spinning beachball. It just - freezes. I hold down the power button and chug along until the next time.
    Additionally, occasionally when using safari the screen gets kind of separated. For instance, if I click on something to go to a new page, part of the screen remains on the old screen and sort of flashes back and forth from old screen to new screen. IDK if that makes any sense. I've not been able to figure a pattern as of yet.
    I'd like to know if anyone else is experiencing such oddities. Also, if anyone has any idea what I can do about these problems I'd be happy to entertain them.

    You can also try the Safe Mode to reset things.
    Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

  • Having a problem with ilife 08 and leopard screen saver

    Hi,
    Not sure if this is an osx leopard issue or a ilife 08 issue but before I did the upgrade I was able to use my entire iphoto library as random photos in the screensaver. Not it only let's me choose specific events or last import. it does not let me select the entire iphoto library?
    Any ideas on this?

    In System Preferences/Screen Saver, you need to go down the list past all the Events and you will see a listing titled "Photos" just above the item titled "Last 12 Months". Select it and you will see the entire iPhoto Library there.

  • HT4623 Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??

    Is anyone else having issues with scaling down photos to fit the screen for home and lock screens with ios7??  Installed ios7 this morning. Tried to use one of my photos from camera roll as background for lock screen and I can't scale the photo to fit the screen.  Never had a problem before and now when I pinch the photo to get it to the right size of the screen, it won't stay that way. The photo is enlarged way beyond the screen size so it doesn't look right. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello, cliffiapp4.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    Here are the steps that I would recommend going through when experiencing this issue.  
    Resolution
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • Only Remote-Desktop and Replication with 0.0 Reduction

    Hi guys,
    I have a solution with 16 WAAS 4.4.3 and I got good numbers in all default applications except Remote-Desktop and Replication
    ( All Traffic 53% of Reduction).
    I can understand not otimize Remote-Desktop Applications cause the customer is using Metaframe with crypto and already compacted and
    using too RDP with crypto/compacted.
    But in the Replication I would expect some gain in Active Directory and MS-FRS Replication.
    I got 0.0, Actually, the optmized traffic is biggest that the Original Traffic.
    I have to modify something in the Microsoft servers to be able to got reduction in Replication Application ??

    As you said, you need to only send the changes over the line.
    Java can not tell you what has changed, so you need to either write some JNI, or do a check on the current image, with the last image. (this would eat quite a bit of CPU time on the server).
    It might be worth looking at the source for VNC, and other simler products.
    The simpliest solution would be to split the image into blocks of x by y pixels, then do a pixel-by-pixel check on that block, and only send the block if it has changed.
    Next thing to think about is scrapping RMI, and using raw sockets. RMI has a fair sized overhead.
    Zipping a JPEG is unlikely to have any effect. A JPEG is already compressed.
    You might want to look at a lossless compression format, like PNG, as the JPEG will have articles. This might be acceptable. If so, changing the compression ratio of the JPEG might be an option.
    Finally, the bottle neck might be the call to Robot.createScreenCapture. This is not the fastest method.

  • I have problem with my iphone 5 lock switch..as lock switch not working properly..and my iphone is not in warrenty.. so plz tell me what i do...

    i have problem with my iphone 5 lock switch..as lock switch not working properly..and my iphone is not in warrenty.. so plz tell me what i do...

    The iPhone 5 is less than a year old, so all of them should still be in warranty unless they have been jailbroken or physically damaged. If you have a hardware problem as you describe the only option is to get the phone replaced by Apple or repaired by a non-authorized shop. The Apple replacement will be free at any Apple store in the country where the phone was purchased. If Apple determines that the phone was physically damaged or jailbroken it will cost $229.

  • I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

    I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
    P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

    Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
    If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
    If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

  • I bought my iphone unlocked from carephone warehouse, I had a problem with the phone and apple swapped it over but they locked it to tmobile!!! what can i do?? I have changed contracts and can not use my phone!

    I bought my iphone from carephone warehouse, sim free and with no contract. 5 months down the line I had a problem with the phone and I booked a genius appointment, they swapped my phone and gave me a new phone but they locked my phone to tmobile!!! I now do not use tmobile and I have an iphone which is locked to tmobile!!! I bought an unlocked phone and apple have locked it!!! what can i do?

    In response to this, Carphone Warehouse (and Phones4U) sell what is commonly referred to as "sim free" handsets - these are not the same as unlocked. Sim free handsets will automatically lock to the first network sim card that the phone is activated with, and that will be permanently. The only way to unlock the handset would be to go through the network (T-Mobile I understand) and request they unlock it for you. More than likely, there will be a charge as you are no longer a T-Mobile customer.
    If you ever want to purchase a new unlocked iPhone, the only place you can buy one is from Apple directly. Any other place will most likely sell sim free handsets.
