Screen sharing performance hit with new remote desktop client?

Having not used my headless Mini for a few days I started it up and was controlling for software updates etc from the Mac Pro.
Both the Mac Pro and Mini softwae updates had a new version of Remote Desktop Client - after installing on both the secreen sharing and control seems very laggy with poorer updating.
Anyone else?
Can I get the previous client version?
AC
Both Macs on 10.6.8

OK, earlier client here:

Can someone kindly instruct me how to uninstall the latest version so that I can revert.

  • Sharing a Printer With Microsoft Remote Desktop

    How do you set it up?
    The printer (Epson Stylus Photo 820) is connected through USB to an Intel iMac.
    I control a Windows XP Pro PC from the iMac through firewire with Microsoft Remote Desktop and it works fine (although I can't get it to share the internet connection.) I have turned printer-sharing "On" in the iMac Preferences. I have also checked "Printers" in the "Connect automatically to these local devices when logged on to the remote computer" dialog box of MS RDC.
    When I go to Add Printer in Windows, I search for a printer and get a tree view with "Microsoft Windows Network" on top and "WORKGROUP" under it. I try to input the printer name, but it tells me it can't find such a printer.
    If I go to the Epson control panel under Windows, and click on ports, it shows the name of the iMac on four separate ports, and if I activate one of them it shows the Stylus 820.
    But then it doesn't print.
    Any ideas?

    same problem here. cannot print a document from the remote desktop computer (microsoft) to my local printer connected to an intel mac .please can anybody help I have a offcejet HP g55

  • Screen Sharing not working with "New" MacBooks

    I have a problem. My friends just got the "New" MacBooks, and I have a white MacBook. I tried Screen Sharing with them, but it just does not work. We get audio for the first few seconds, but we never see the other persons screen. Anyone else have this issue, and if you have a "New" macbook, I would like to see if it would work with yours.

    Turn the Firewall Off or to Low as Medium an High have things that interfere with iChat. (Make sure the Stateful Packet Inspection is OFF)
    Check all the tabs across the top and the menus down the side of each page to see if it has UPnP (most likely in Local Network but could be anywhere)
    The pics will show you if it is doing DHCP
    The Airport settings are in Airport Utility and on the Internet iCon screen where it says "Share a Public IP" in the bottom drop down.

  • Video and Screen Sharing not working with new modem

    I give up. Just replaced my old dead Motorola DSL modem with a new Motorola 2210-02 DSL Modem and now iChat video and screen sharing aren't working. I am running 10.5.7, have an Airport Extreme, and 2 computers with cameras (a G5 with an iSight, a Macbook Pro with built in camera) and both worked fine before the modem switch. iChat works, just not video or screen sharing. I have 3 or so friends that I used to be able to video chat with regularly before the modem swap. Spent 3 hours and $50.00 on Apple support with no results. Also talked with my provider (AT&T/Yahoo) and they were no help. Anyone?

  • Apple Remote Desktop 3 screen sharing performance

    Apple Remote Desktop 3 screen sharing performance
    Apple should licence citrix terminal technology to improve screen sharing experience and performance over low bandwidth connections like the internet.
    ARD works very nice on LANs. But the screen sharing performance for remote offices really has to be improved. Look at Citrix and MS Terminal Server - these products work very snappy over low bandwidth connections like 3G UMTS or Cable, DSL.
    Also adding the terminal server technology (multi user over network) to the OS would be great. Not only redirect the hole client screen - map a GUI user session over the network for an admin while the user on the client has his own usual local session.
    The curtain mode is good beginning.
    Kind regards,
    Bjoern

    Hi,
    I mean that MS Terminal Server is a completely different beast, because you don't transfer the whole bitmap here as VNC or ARD does.

  • Can't connect remote PC with Microsoft Remote Desktop for Mac after using a new router

    I'm using a Windows 8.1 computer as a HTPC to download files and I set it logins automatically and I just need to press the power button then use RD for Mac to control the HTPC without extra monitor, keyboard...
    Here is the problem: After I took my Mac and HTPC to another place, I can't connect it with new router now. (I change the PC name to new local IP, nothing else changed)
    It shows on screen that:
    Unable to connect to remote PC. Please verify Remote Desktop is enabled, the remote PC is turned on and available on the network, and then try again.
    I can use shared disk drive of the HTPC on my Mac so I know the connection works.
    Thanks!

  • What is new in Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1?

    What is new in Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1? Also, how can we tell if clients are on 3.8.2 v1.1 and not 3.8.2 from ARD? Apple isn't providing us with detailed information so I am reaching out to the community.

    Yeah, it tells you nothing which is why I posted. Here is what they link you to: About Remote Desktop Admin 3.8 - Apple Support

  • Missing "sharing" option in system preferences after installing apple remote desktop client version 2.10

    Hi All,
    I installed a wrong version of Apple remote desktop client , 2.10 and the sharing menu under system preferences vanished. I tried to uninstall the Apple remote desktop with,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2577
    but no luck, but after restarting the macbook pro with lion 10.7.2, i see my sharing option enabled but when clicked, it says the system preference has to restart and confirming that it restarts in 32 bit mode and even after clciking the sharing option it says, "you can't open sharing preferences because it doesn't work on an intel-based mac"
    . So i strongly believe the apple remote desktop is creating the issue.
    Can someone help how to fix this please?
    Thanks

    Same problem here. I manage several remote Macs, but I have one MacBook which I can get no ARD access to (black icon). I can ping the IP, I can SSH into the MacBook, the ARD and Remote Login services are checked ON, the firewall is OFF. The ARD service is configured to allow my admin user full access - however, I get nothing. I have no trouble getting into the other Macs.
    Any ideas?

  • Does Ichat screen sharing work properly with Lion OSX?

    Hello, I am planning to install the new OS Lion soon. However, I was wondering if the Ichat screen sharing works properly with Lion. I use the screen sharing quite a lot to communicate with my co-workers, so it's a deal breaker if the app crashes when using the screen sharing option. Thank you!

  • IOS Remote Desktop Client Logon Issue Prompts to Logon 3 Times with RDGW

    I have an issue when connecting from the Remote Desktop client iOS on multiple iPads/users.
    First a little background: We have an RDS Web Access / RDS Gateway (2012 R2) setup and properly configured. We can logon using it just fine from the Mac OS version of the app, Android version of the app, or from a Windows PC. When we try to
    connect via the iOS app we get the prompt to logon 3 times. Due to security reasons, we do not want them to store their credentials on the iPads, which is the only method I have found to eliminate the triple password entry. It only prompts once on the Mac
    OS version, Android version or from a Windows PC.
    The password isn't being entered incorrectly and the servers are not registering any Audit Failures for the logon attempts. Can you assist?
    Additionally I would like to recommend the addition of a feature to be able to setup remote resources but prompt for the password on app launch for security reasons. That way they would have to enter it once but then they could access any resources needed.
    Thanks,
    Nate L

    Then it connects ok. I went to our firewall (MS Forefront TMG) and monitored for traffic from the iPad iOS App (based on network it is on). I don't see the initial connection attempt at all, which is expected because according to the log above it looks
    like it tries to connect to the host directly...which it shouldn't?
    Then in the second attempt I see it trying to go to http://ExternalRDSGatewayHostName:443/remoteDesktopGateway/ which again it shouldn't be doing because that URL (the remoteDesktopGateway) is not part of the RDSGW or RDSWA 2012 R2 IIS
    config or am I missing something? It should be going to Rpc or RDWeb right? or do I need to allow that path through too?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    As far as I know, Java is not required for the Microsoft Remote Desktop client for Mac.

  • Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro Application Launcher Remote Desktop Services Feed VDI with Windows Store Remote Desktop Client

    I wanted to make kiosks which are joined into a domain and set up with an Remote Desktop Web Feed with VDI Desktops (to support Single Sign On and minimize configuration needs on the client side). And I wanted to lock those Clients to launch only the Remote
    Desktop Windows Store application. And if somebody clicks on a Desktop Pool then connect to the choosen Pool. But instead of doing this the Remote Desktop application opens the Pool within the old mstsc.exe and right after connecting the OS switches the focus
    back to the Remote Desktop Windows Store application. And nobody can work in the office with this configuration.
    So how can I correct this problem? Any other solutions? What is the official way to doing this?

    Hi,
    Based on my test, we cannot associate .rdp files with the Remote Desktop Windows Store App. Therefore, you may have to use MSTSC or configure the setting in the Remote Desktop
    Windows Store App manually.
    Best Regards.

  • Remote desktop client software not active

    I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I'm a bit bewildered by this errormessage (and I couldn't get a hit when I searched for it) when I try to drag a file from the xserv to the macbook pro desktop, remote desktop client software not active.
    The macbook has the ard server and connects to the xserv ppc. It connects over the internet.
    The xserv is behind a iptables fw and I have forwarded 3283 tcp/udp plus 5900 udp/tcp to the server. Have I forgotten a port ?
    I've read through http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm as well as http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070302234400232&query=vnc%2Bsimpl e%2Bset%2Bup
    and tried to find out more from the discsussions here.
    The macbook pro sits behind an airport which is hooked into the dsl modem. Do I need to configure port forward in the airport as well.
    Connecting to the xserv and working on it works great but the copy file transfer fails.

    Hi there I took new try at this and this is what finally solved it for me.
    The earlier answer I got was very good advise but I had already done that bit, actually I might have overdone it a bit I had checked all the boxes under the useraccount on sharing.
    Back to business.
    Firewalling. I realised I need to open and portforward at both locations and remeber it's booth tcp and udp.
    So at the xserve location I needed to forward 3283 and 5900 both tcp and udp from outside to the IPnumber of the xserve.
    At home with my macbook I needed to do the same.
    However this did not solve it, I had forgotten one software on the macbook. On the xserve I had installed ARD upgraded it to 3.1 AND installed the upgrade for ARD 3.1 client. The client part I had forgotten at home. So once my ARD and ARD client software matched I could connect to the xserve and drag and drop files booth ways.
    ARD wasn't running on the xserve I just had it installed along with the client software.
    So portforwarding in firewalls and the same software and versions in all locations seems to have solved it for me.
    A small note enabling/disabling the firewall in macbookpro did nothing for me since when enabled ARD rules were in place and active so it still worked.
    I hope I made some sense.

  • Since the Remote desktop client update 3.8.2 V1.1 my Indesign CS4 crashes when I try to print. Does anyone else have this problem?

    Problem with remote desktop client update

    I find it interesting that since Screen Sharing is available, and works "just fine" that a Remote Desktop Client would be needed to be installed.
    I installed it, but I'm not sure why.
    I found the updated application in /System/Library/Core Services/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent
    Which is also where the screen sharing and vnc bundles live.  I clicked on it to see what would happen -- nothing.
    I found these ports in another discussion
    TCP and UDP port 3283
    TCP and UDP port 5900.  (Also used for Screen Sharing in OSX 10.5 and later)
    port 22
    This page confirms their use along with the use of other ports:
    TCP and UDP ports used by Apple software products - Apple Support
    Additionally TCP port 5432 is used by ARD
    Having recently noticed (through "network utility" that my computers have had a "ton" of open connections.
    This severely hurt system performance.
    I note that neither my Airport Express nor my Mac can set up a firewall on these ports.
    While I haven't noticed the ARD ports being used, I cannot help but wonder if this is set up for a CIA/NSA backdoor into my computers.
    On a less paranoid level, perhaps Apple is planning on adding on-line help to debug our problems in "real-time".  ;-)

  • Uninstalling remote desktop client

    Hello
    OK - a newbie problem having been over zealous with google and not reading about what I was actually installing.
    I was interestd in being able to remotely access my mac mini from Windows XP for when I'm at the office. After a bit of googling I turned up a prospective hit and installed the remote desktop client from here :
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/appleremotedesktop21client.html
    now, I have lost the ability to access the Sharing section of the System Preferences .. how do I get this back?? It now tells me that I cannot open the sharing options as they do no run on an Intel based mac ...
    Am completely new to Macs, having used PC's for donkey's years .. guess I should have looked before leaping!
    Help appreciated !

    Next time - triple check that anything you want to install is fully compatible with Snow Leopard. Otherwise, stay away and wait until you've had more time to learn your new computer in standard configuration first...take it to the nearest Apple Store and let the staff educate you a bit if need be
