UPDATE APP STORE with REMOTE DESKTOP
Hi,
I have 2 labs full of IMac on LION. I would like to update the app store via remote desktop.
They all have the same user and password.
I dont want to download the package on my computer and send the package.
Is there a way by sending a unix command ?
There must be a way to get this automated ? I already read some tried with Automator, but I can't get this working well
Thanks to help me
Nick
Hi Templeton Peck,
For softwares update,
I'm able to update via ARD with the command line : softwareupdate -i -a
But on many Macs, we have FInalCut X, Compressor and such kind of software that I MUST update through the APP STORE APPLICATION
I'm just trying to update automatically
Can you help me ?
Thanks

Mac App Store, Lion, Remote Desktop
Just installed Lion. Minimal problems. One is that I can't use the Mac App Store. The application runs, but I can't sign in, or (obviously) do anything that requires signing in. Just get "Connection failed." Similar problem with iTunes Store. No idea. Another, very similar, machine on the same LAN, running 10.6.8, has no trouble sigining in with the same credentials, so it's not my account.
But that's not my question: I want to buy Apple Remote Desktop from the app store. But I want to run it on the Lion machine, not the Snow Leopard machine. So the question is, can I buy it on one machine and install it on another? Does it use an installer, or can I just drag the application file from one machine to the other? Any idea if this will work, or will it be a bigger pain than it's worth.
Were it not for the $80 price tag, I'd just try it and find out. But I'm a little leery under the circumstances.Purchases made through the App Store both download and install via the App Store application, not via a stand-alone installer that is downloaded to your computer and you run it.
There is nothing preventing you from copying the installed application to another computer, but there is no guarantee it will work. At a minimum, you could be asked for your Apple ID and password to verify a legal purchase, which wouldn't be a problem in your case. But, if the app you copy requires files that reside outside the Applications folder, and you don't copy them all, your app may not work as expected, or at all.
In short, sure, you could try it, and it might work just fine, but if it doesn't, you'll need to identify the source of your App Store connection problem to install the software properly. -
Will the second computer receive updates if they are logged into the App Store with their own accounts?
No.
Each Apple ID stores its own list of software purchases. -
I have App Store 1.0. MacUpdate Desktop tells me there is a new version 1.0.1. How do I update App Store. Mac Update only takes me directly to App Store. Not much help in that, as I don't find how to update the App Store itself.

<Edited by Host>Thank you for your advice.
Actually, I am aware that the upgrade is implemented in 10.6.7. However, up until now I haven't been able to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.7, as I have software that is not yet compatible. So I wondered how to do it within 10.6.6? May be it is not possible? Anyway, this gave me a push to track the software I use for compatibility, and I found that an update for 10.6.7 now is ready for download, so then I will probably solve two issues at the same time. Takes a little work though. Thank you again for your advice. -
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.Hi,
Please refer to the document below for the procedure to use Microsoft Remote Desktop APP of IOS APP store.

Stuck with Remote Desktop 3 without the serial number:(
I am the new tech assistant for my lab of 35 macs..
The computer used for managing the lab with remote desktop has crashed.
I have found an older model mac with remote desktop. I'd like to transfer that application
to my newer mac...but It will ask me for the serial number of which I do not have.
The old tech assistant has gone..and along with it...the software and document.
I have turned this lab upside down and I've found the box Apple Remote Desktop 3
but nothing else. I thought maybe the serial number would be on it. But I see
only the bar code... I am frustrated to no end. They don't answer my emails for help
Sincerely,
Love using Apple Remote Desktop 3 user but can not anymore:(IIRC the serial number was never on the outside of the box so have you looked inside the box? Do you see the booklet that came with the box? Is the Serial Number inside? The Serial Number takes this form:
XARD-030-000-x-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-x
Who is not answering your emails for help?
Having read the terms and conditions of this forum prior to posting you'll know these are user-to-user forums and Apple are not listening, so it's difficult to see what any of us here can do to help? Perhaps if you find the purchase receipt you might be able to contact your local Apple Rep and ask if they have a record of it?
You can still use Remote Desktop by purchasing it again from the App Store. It costs far, far less than the installer media version and does not require a serial number. All you need is an Apple ID and an associated debit or credit card. -
Ipad bluetooth keyboard not working with remote desktop
My clients ipad bluetooth keyboard works any other time, just not when connected to his servers via the remote desktop. PC Windows 7 Servers.
I'm trying to get the keyboard information, but any ideas?Are you using an app like LogMeIn Ignition to access your servers? I believe that LogMeIn Ignition requires you to tap a little keyboard button near the bottom of the screen to activate use of the keyboard (that's how it works in Splashtop Remote, can't be much different in LogMeIn Ignition.)
Are you sure the app you have supports blue tooth keyboard support with remote desktop? (not sure if they have to, I just recall seeing this in Splashtop patch notes awhile ago.)

I can't connect to the app store with my iPad
I can't connect to the App Store with my iPad. The App Store icon is displaying 3 updates available but when I click on the icon I can't connect.
HaiTan --
We're all other Apple customers here, helping each find solutions. So we can't fix it.
But try again tomorrow. All Apple servers are undergoing a huge number of hits. I think tomorrow or even the next day, all upgrade, update, and activation servers will be in better shape, as well as the App Store.
Any time millions of people want to do exactly the same thing online, there's always trouble, LOL. -
I cant download from app store with 3g on ios 8
i cant download from app store with 3g on ios 8 I can download just with wifi, i don't have this problem on ios 7.1 please help me too fix it
I need too download with 3gHello, esienriqueiglesias.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I would need more information regarding what exact error, message or behavior that you are experiencing when attempting to download applications. However, some applications are large in size and require a Wi-Fi connection to download. I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article below.
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

V10.6.6 Update - App Store Deletion
When I updated my macbook to v10.6.6 I recieved the App Store with the download. But since I never use my iTunes store let alone my iTunes I saw no purpose to having such a wasteful app on my macbook. So I deleted it, throwing the app into the trash & deleting everything in the trash.
I am reading on mac sites & noticed a cool app Id use, called "Weather HD" for 3.99. I click to download & it sends me to the Mac App Store page on apple. I click on trying to get the app but it tells me I have to go through an update. I tried but I am already up to date with everything & app store doesnt reappear on it. I don't know what to do, I tried to download it elsewhere but all Im getting is how to use it & related questions that arent useful at all.
Please help! ):
-Vik S.The combo updates can be installed over the same system they update to. That is actually a common troubleshooting step for problems following an update. So either you downloaded the wrong thing (how big is the installer you downloaded?), or you've got a MacBook Pro from early 2011, in which case you need to install the following update instead:

Troubleshooting error with Remote Desktop 3.1
Have OSX Server 10.4.10 on a powerPC with Remote Desktop 2.2, Security scans advise to update to Remote Desktop Client 3.1. Everytime I do this I get this error "The Remote Desktop Administrator software failed to start du to an unexpected error. The Remote Desktop software may not be installed correctly or the computer may require a restart."
I have two machines on this network that are giving this error, one this server and the other a laptop. Version 2.2 was running and working just fine prior to the update, now its broke. Is there a log file somewhere to try to figure this error out? Has anyone else experienced this issue? I have already tried to reset permissions, and reboot, but nothing works.Just to confirm my understanding, you are running the ARD 2.2 Administrator on the server, and something is advising you to upgrade that system to the ARD 3.1 client? If that's the situation, then do not upgrade. The 3.x client will not work with the ARD 2.2 administrator. If you did indeed upgrade, you'll need remove ARD using the instructions here and then reinstall ARD 2.2 from your installation disks.
Similarly, if you've upgraded any client workstation to the 3.x client, you'll need to remove it and reinstall the 2.2 client using this installer. It says it's an "updater", but it will work anyway.
Hope this helps. -
How do i replace/erase the ID of the previous owner of my iMac Mini in the Apps Store with my own Apple ID.All attempts to erase the previous owners I(D are unsuccessful.Can anyone out there please help? Many thanks.
You are NOT allowed to assume or take over or merge the previous Owner's Apple ID Account with yours. The Apps and media that that Owner bought in the Mac Store and iTunes Store were solely for his use and CANNOT under the Terms of Use for Apple be transferred to or used by anyone else. You'll have to purchase new anything you want to use from the Store. And you will Not be able to Update any Apple Apps he left on the Mac. Sorry, but those are the rules.

How do I use the App store with macbook pro and mac pro
I currently use the app store with the mac book, but want to buy (share?) apps and music with the mac pro.
I can't find anything that specifically outlines how this works.
I use SplashID with the macbook and an iPhone, and want to use it (and sync it) on the mac pro as well.
If you buy apps for a macbook, can you use them on a second machine, or do you need to buy it a second time?Your license from the MAS allows you to download and install the apps on as many Macs as you own or have under your control (institutional or employer supplied Macs.) The Mac should to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion. Open the MAS app on the Mac Pro and sign into your account to have access to download all of your previous purchases in the Purchased pane.
Simple apps can also be dragged & dropped over a network connection from the MacBook to the Mac Pro. -
Dear support @Apple,
I have tried to log in App Store with my Apple ID 3 times but never possible.
I have tried to change password 2 times.
It was successful.But soon after change of my password, I could not log in App store.
It says always incorrect user name or password. But I input correct ! Because just I successfully changed my password through secret question.
Third time when I tried to change password, the page did not open!
So I checked my connection by netstat , and I trace the IP address ; 17.154.66.17 this is apple IP, but when I trace , it did not show the route. I will copy

To post this question, I tried thierd time to change password, and before I tried to log in to App store, I logged in this community, and I could !
Then I could finally log in App store also.
But still I feel something is wrong with my connection.
Why the trace route does not show to the apple site ?This is a user to user forum. Apple is not here. Apple does not answer questions here.
