Screen Sharing doesn't work after updating to Remote Desktop 3.6.1

Hi everyone!
I hope others can help.  We just noticed this at two different schools today after upgrading to 3.6.1.  We upgraded Admin and Client Apple Remote Desktop to ARD 3.6.1 today and now we cannot share our screens with the clients.  It turns black, hangs, then returns the client to its original desktop. 
We tried from a 3.5.1 admin machine, and it still works fine as it used to.
We feel like the issue is 3.6.1, but cannot find any support for the issue online. 
Other troubleshooting steps:
1) emptied user and system Caches
2) restarted all units
3) tried 3.6.1 admin to 3.5.1 clients, no luck
4) tried 3.6.1 admin to 3.6.1 clients, no luck
5) checked for loops in the network, nothing.
We can perform most other tasks like controlling the clients and copying files, but not screen sharing.
Thank you for your help!

All right!  Total workaround here, and no fix, but at least we're able to Screen Share in ARD now.  This is how we downgraded to 3.5.1 Admin in Apple Remote Desktop.  The only hiccup that may not work for most is that you must have an older Remote Desktop file on hand. (hopefully from a computer that was not upgraded which was our case).
Here is what we did...
1) Login as an admin.
2) Throw out the Remote Desktop app (in Applications)
3) From another computer, drag in an old Remote Desktop app into your Applications folder
4) Throw out the "RemoteManagement" folder inside System/Library/CoreServices
5) From support.apple.com/downloads, download Remote Desktop 3.5.1 (both the Client and Admin installers).
6) Run the Admin install first, then the Client Install.
I did the above steps in two schools in a different order, but I wrote it this way to make it more streamlined.  I never had to re-enter the Serial # or anything.  Once I did the steps above, it just worked again.
Hope this helps you!

  • OS X Screen Sharing doesn't work after Mavericks Upgrade

    I have upgraded my 3x machines to Mavericks and Screen Sharing no longer works.  I have tried this with and without firewalls on.  File Sharing works but Screen Sharing will say connecting for a LONG time and then say that it's not enabled and to go turn it on...

    I have seen a couple people talk about this as well, but wasn't the same thing..

    I believe this is the easiest way to resolve any screensharing issues in MacOSX: Solution: Reset the computer list in Screen Sharing. To acomplish that install OnyX. By the way a great tool for your Mac maintenance.
    Go to Cleaning>Misc. and
    check My Computers list in Screen Sharing.
    Press Execute and wait until it finish.
    Restart your computer.
    I hope this helps.

  • Screen saver doesn't work after updating to Yosemite

    When the screen saver should come on the screen remains black.
    The screen saver is set to turn on after 3 minutes; Energy Saver is set to turn the display off after 15 minutes.
    When testing the screen saver from System Preferences, the screen saver works.
    When trying to activate it with a hot corner or by leaving the computer inactive, it does not work/the screen remains black.
    It does this no matter which screen saver is chosen.
    Is there something I'm missing? Thank you for your help.

    I updated two different Mac to "YO" last week and neither encountered an issue. Screen savers are unchanged. However, there are other reports here of screensaver issues. Some have turned out to be caused by unneeded third-party utilities. Are you running any anti-virus programs, or programs that claim to "clean, optimize, or tune up" you Mac?

  • Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview (9879 Build)

    Why Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview?
    It works well Windows 8.1, but why not in Windows 10?

    Hi PriTeddy,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    As Paul Adare said, Microsoft has noticed such issue, they are listed in following blog:
    http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/11/12/new-build-available-to-the-windows-insider-program/
    Some known problems:
    As with the last build, you’re getting hot-off-the-presses code which means there are a few issues. We’ll be publishing WU updates shortly to fix the first two, but the remainder will not be fixed for 9879.
    •In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.
    •You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.
    •Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous build.
    •Skype calls will disconnect and Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.
    •There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.
    Let’s wait for next builds.

  • Screen sharing doesn't work on headless mini

    I have a headless Mac Mini that has been running 10.5 and 10.6 for years and I've never had any problems with screen sharing.
    I now update to Lion and as soon as there's no screen attached I can no longer use Screen Sharing!
    There is absolutely no way I can have a screen perminently attached to the machine.
    Any ideas of how to fix this behaviour?
    I've tried rebooting with no screen attached and that just hung the server at boot time.

    I've found a work around.
    Connect the screen and then connect to the machine via Screen Sharing
    Then change Screen Sharing from Hardware display to Virtual display.
    Then you can disconnect the screen and Screen Sharing continues to work. (At least so far)

  • Home sharing does not work after update to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9

    I am using home sharing since about a year without any problems. After updating to snow leopard 10.6.4 and iTunes 9.2 it suddenly does not work anymore.
    On my iMac and my Mac Book Pro I get error code 3259 and it tells me to check my firewall and to enable Port 3689.
    I did not change anything in the firewall settings, itunes on both allows data traffic in both directions. I also do not find any option to activate a port ( also wondering why this is suddenly now necessary)
    I deactivated home sharing on both machines and enabled it again. It still does not work.
    On both machines iTunes displays the the library on the left side but like said it is not accessable
    With Finder I can access the other computer from both machines without any problem.
    Any help to solve this would be very much appreciated

    first of all, if you are behind a router firewall, and have your network secured (WPA2 and a long, non-dictionary password made up of letters and numbers), you don't need the software firewall on your Mac(s).
    @ least turned if off for troubleshooting purposes.
    turn home sharing off on both computers, and make sure
    (a) both Macs have access to the internet
    (b) iTunes on both machines is authorized for the same iTunes account.
    turn home sharing back on on both Macs.
    does it work ?

  • Home Sharing no longer working after updating iTunes

    After updating iTunes on both my computers to version 10.7, the home sharing feature is now not working. One computer can see and access the other's library but the other cannot see its. I have checked the sharing preferences on both computers. Both have 'Share my library on my local network' and 'Share entire library' checked and neither are set to require a password. I have turned on home sharing from the 'Advanced' sub menu in the menu bar and both use the same Apple ID.
    Any thoughts on how I can fix this. I think it is just a bug and should hopefully get fixed but maybe it's just me.    

    I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
    Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
    Apple help people were GREAT!

  • Screen sharing doesn't work without a gateway

    I'm back from a short trip and find that my gateway died in the meantime.
    I have a LAN with quite a few Macs, some of them being Mac minis used as servers with no attached screens.
    I can't use screen sharing anymore on my LAN to control any Mac that has not been set up to use my failover gateway. Only the Macs whose network set up has been changed to fully use the failover gateway can be controled. Unfortunately, this gateway and has limitations not allowing me to use it with every Mac/iPad etc. here. If I set up a Mac to use the failover gateway, but with no internet access allowed, that Mac remains uncontrolable with screen sharing.
    So I'd like someone more experienced to answer these questions:
    - How is it that an operational gateway with a working internet access is mandatory for LAN screen sharing ?
    - Are authentication services responsible for the troubles here ?
    Help would be greatly appreciated,
    JM

    While I understand the terms, I do not yet fully understand what your IP network looks like.
    By "usual gateway", are you referring to a hardware device — commonly called a "gateway router" — that's been replaced here, or to the IP gateway settings present within most (all?) hosts on an IP network?
    IP needs a gateway for traffic outside of the subnet.  That commonly includes DNS traffic, either from the DNS server(s) on your LAN, or for IP hosts that are communicating more directly.  This can also include determining the source of in-bound IP traffic, as that involves DNS translations.
    Swapping gateway routers can also sometimes require flushing the ARP caches, depending on what hardware and software is involved.  (Normally the new device will broadcast that on the LAN and thus update the caches, but sometimes things get a little wonky.)  This if it's at the same address.  If it's at different addresses, then the DHCP server, DHCP clients and static-addressed hosts all need to be updated.
    In general (and because I'm not certain of your configuration), I prefer to avoid using Macs as IP routers, as they're expensive for and comparatively clumsy at that task.  I prefer to use dedicated devices for that, and often preferanly including an embedded VPN server as I'd mentioned earlier.
    Again, I'm not clear about your configuration, so the above might not address your question.

Maybe you are looking for
