Remote Mac with 2 displays :(

I very often connect to a Mac that is connected to 2 display. ARD always opens both displays and I have to change it manually.
Is there a way to tell ARD that it only opens the first display?

It's a pain. I am actively pursuing an alternative.
But, it couldn't hurt to tell Apple:

  • Can I control a remote Mac with Messages?

    My OS:  Mountain Lion
    I need to control a remote Mac. The remote Mac has Internet with WildBlue Excede (satellite). I am on a cable modem. Both Macs are hard-wired to modems. I have had no luck establishing a connection with Apple Remote Desktop. I remember a day when I was able to control a remote Mac with both Macs running iChat, albeit fuzzy and somewhat slow. Now, we have Messages. Can it be done with Messages? Is there a better way?
    Thanks

    If both machines are signed into iCloud with the same account, you should be able to do remote screen sharing.  This is a lot easier if you have an Airport Extreme or a Time Capsule that lets you put your iCloud credentials in there.
    I think with message you'd be able to remote screen control but the remote user would have to accept your request.

  • SSH to Remote Mac with Distributed IPs?

    Hi,
    I want to backup to a remote Mac using CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) which has the ability to do a Remote Login via SSH.
    However the remote Mac is sitting behind an Airport Time Capsule which is distributing a range of IP addresses.
    How do I set this up so CCC can see the specific Mac I want as my backup target?
    If I go to Sharing>Remote Login it just shows me the local IP, not the public IP.
    Thank you !

    It's complicated to set that up.
    First, you have to give the server a fixed address on the local network. Change the setting Configure IPv4 in the Network preference pane to Manually, if it's not that already. Make sure you choose an address that isn't already in use. Enter the correct values for all the other network settings.
    Then, on the Time Capsule, you have to map port 22 on the external interface to the same port on the server. You do that in the Network tab of AirPort Utility.
    Finally, if the Time Capsule has a dynamic external address, you have to set up some kind of dynamic name resolution so you can find it on the Internet.
    If "Carbon Copy Cloner" is Bonjour-aware (I don't know whether it is or not), then you may be able to simplify the problem considerably by using this:

  • How do I connect to remote mac with ard without being prompted for username and pasword

    I setup my Mac Pro to connect to my Macbook Pro (both on snow leopard at the time) with apple remote desktop when I used to select control on my Mac Pro I used to be able to start controlling my MBP straght away with out needing to enter a username or pasword.
    When Lion came out I upgraded my Mac Pro and left my MBP on snw leoprd no settings on my MBP were changed I installed the ARD control software on my Mac Pro and when I clicked control I was requested to enter a username and password.
    Does anyone know why I can no longer control my MBP without entering a username and pasword and how to setup ARD to allow me to do that?

    Create a text file with name boot.properties in the directory <Domain_Home>/servers/<Server_Name>/security. The file must contain the following:
    username=<username>
    password=<password>
    Replace <username> and <password> with the username and password of an WLS admin user (e.g. weblogic). They will be encrypted automatically by WLS at first boot.

  • Problem with display of files in remote server

    hi,
    i am trying to display to the files on a remote server using JTree. i am able to display local files and directories using JTree but i don't know how to display remote files. can anyone explain how to do it?
    Thank you,
    npaila

    hi,
    i have exactly the same problem.
    Each node of the tree represents a directory. it can be a local or a remote one.
    The only difference is the definition of the File class; the TreeNode class is the same for both.
    Everything works correctly with local Files and fails with remote files.
    Everything means : directory creation, supression, rename, expand all recursive subdirectories.
    I can expand each node, even the ones associated with remote files, with user actions (mouse click, key typed) but I can't expand any node by programing.
    Each action is efficient on the remote server, but the display doesn't change at all.
    Something strange is that when I create a new JTree with a remote file as the root, expand all its recursive subdirectories and then display the Tree, it has correctly expanded.
    Is it a refresh problem ?
    Please help us, give us a clue...
    Thx for advance

  • How do I connect a mac cinema display to a dell laptop with VGA output?

    I need to connect my coworkers Mac Cinema display to his Dell Laptop with VGA out, running Windows 7. We have a VGA to DVi adapter, but it doesn't work. Do we need a different adapter or a driver? Thanks.

    DVI-I offered by most computers has support for up to a wider-than-1920 Digital display AND a complete set of VGA signals in it.
    If you have an adapter from DVI [computer] to VGA [display] it has no conversion logic in it and should be called a VGA extractor. It will NOT work the other direction.
    I think what you need is a better computer or a worser (VGA) display.

  • Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA

    Hi
    Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA.
    I have a server 2012 remote access gateway, with remote apps published(which uses single signon), behind a 2FA connection (web based) and want to know if its possible to allow macs to connect to the remote Apps behind it. i cannot permanently remove any
    of the above setup as it is a requirement.
    When i connect from a mac i can login to both the 2FA and remote access web pages and see all the apps but when i click on any app it downloads it to the mac and when i try to run it using Remote Desktop App for MAC i get an error :
    "httpendpointexception: 4, The non-proxy http connection failed to connect with the message: 500 internal Server Error."
    I have tried with 2fa turned off for testing and get the same result.Does it support 2012 TSGW server? does it support Remote desktop apps? as i cant find a definitive answer on either.
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    Hi,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    From Error description it seems to be a communication issue between your Mac and your RD gateway server. If you connect from extranet, you may need Remote Desktop Gateway or a VPN/Direct Access connection to your intranet, or forward port 3389 on your router.
    500 Internal Server Error seems to be a HTTP related error. 
    The HTTP status code in IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0
    Also, please double check the settings if you have a RD gateway implemented in you intranet.
    http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/12/24/rd-gateway-in-windows-server.aspx
    In Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway pluggable authentication is also introduced. This allows custom authentication routines to be used with RD Gateway. For example building a two-factor solution on top of RD Gateway is now possible which allows doing token-authentication
    to the RD Gateway which works seamlessly with RD Web Access or RDP file launching.
    Please check below article for more information.
    Windows Server 2012 R2 is coming what does this add to RDS – VDI
    In addition, please provide the log file from the client for further research.

    Hope it helps!

  • I purchased Lightroom on my old Macbook but recently updated to a Mac with Retina display for editing my photos. I don't want to purchase Lightroom again and want to keep my catalog I have been using. Is there a way to access it on my new computer?

    I purchased Lightroom on my old Macbook but recently updated to a Mac with Retina display. How do I access Lightroom on my new computer without purchasing it again?

    If you created a new Apple ID, you have to purchase the app again. If you can still use the old ID, then you can download it again for free by using that ID. But you will run the risk of locking yourself out of your new Apple ID for 90 days by downloading the app with your old ID and associating the iPad with the old ID.
    Is the risk of locking yourself out of your new Apple ID worth not having to pay $.99 again for an app?

  • Can i set up remote desktop with my Mac Air and Windows 7 HP desktop?

    I am wanting to set up remote desktop with my Mac Air and HP windows 7 home edition desktop.  Is this possible and how do I begin setting this up?
    Thanks for the help!

    There is an app in the Mac App Store to use Microsoft Remote Desktop with a Mac: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/microsoft-remote-desktop/id715768417?mt=12
    But according to their support site it requires Pro, Enterprise, or Ultimate in the Windows 7 side. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn473006.aspx
    If it was me, I would first look into Teamviewer to see if it will do what you need. It does work between Mac and Windows and it is free for non-commercial use. http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx

  • The image on my mac wont display on the tv with the firewire

    the image on my mac wont display on the tv with the firewire

    There's no such thing a a FireWire to HDMI converter. Do you mean Mini DisplayPort?
    Are you trying to extend your desktop onto the TV or mirror it? Have you gone to System Preferences, Displays, and either clicked the Mirror Displays option, or used the Arrangement tab to move the two screens into the correct alignment? There should also be a Detect Displays button somewhere in the Displays panel.
