Upgrade clients to OS 10.4.5 using ARD

I am having trouble sending out OS 10.4.5 to client computers(emacs and imacs) using ARD 2.2
They are currently running OS 10.4.2.
How can I get this working. I've downloaded 10.4.5 to the admin computer then manage>install packages
Mac OSXUpdCombo10.4.5PPC.pkg
restart target computer after installation
then it fails.
please help

how many are you trying this on at the same time? does it work if you do one by itself?
alternatively, you can send this unix command to install all available packages:
softwareupdate -i -a
send as user "root"

Using ARD to copy Parental Control Whitelist?

I'm relatively familiar with ARD and use it to manage many aspects of a 50+ mac school. Older students have accounts (and thus Parental Controls) managed by Snow Leopard Server, but each computer also has a local account which is managed by the Parental Controls on the local computer. Unfortunately Parental Controls in Snow Leopard turn out to have a rather disasterous bug which prevents connections to secure sites. This is causing havoc when students try to use the state-mandated testing sites. We of course filter at other levels, but we have to have Parental Controls in place in this account.
All I wish to do is use ARD to copy whichever files are necessary to copy a master "Whitelist" to each of the client computers, but I've had no luck whatsoever figuring out how to do this.
So, let's say "Master" is my master computer and "Clients 1-50" are the rest of the systems. I should be able to go into my "Master" computer admin account, access Parental Controls for my "master copy" of my "localstudent" account, set the whitelist for that account, and then copy the necessary files to every client machine in a few seconds using ARD.
Can anyone please (PLEASE) tell me which files I need to copy?
Thanks in advance!

I've located a couple threads on this topic here and at other forums, but the solutions are always absurdly complex and cumbersome (and, the ones I've tried returned errors, so no go anyway). Every setting on a computer (other than those few in firmware, such as your Startup Disk preference) have *got* to be in a file of some kind somewhere, and thus should be able to be copied from one computer to another.
Does nobody know where this darn whitelist file is stored?
(I don't need to copy all Parental Control settings, just the whitelist, but I sure don't want to have to add multiple exceptions to 50+ computers just to get around Apple's stupid SSL bug with parental controls.)

Is it possible to use ARD to upgrade Tiger clients to Leopard?

I have around 70 or so Macs that I need to upgrade to Leopard before the end of this year. I'm looking for a way to accomplish this without having to physically go to each Mac to perform the upgrade/install. Is there any way to use ARD to accomplish this?

I have upgraded the clients using ARD and Netboot. But during the update process you will be unable to access them. I have done this on 10.3 to 10.4. But I haven't tried it with 10.5. YET
Use system imaging utility, create netinstall image from DVD. Automate installation with auto reboot. All startup disks have to have same name for you to fully automate without user intervention.
You also have to be on the same subnet to select start-up disks from the ARD admin Computer. Then from ARD select boot device as netboot install image. And reboot. Machines will update to new os assuming there are no problems.

Issues with upgrading client from 1.2 to 3.0

I've upgraded a bunch of Mac's ARD client from 1.2 to 3.0 using ARD 3 admin's upgrade client feature. On some, I can't Observe or Control. So far I can copy files, run reports, and see current status. I can also ssh into machines with no problems. I've run the updater a second time and no go.
All of these Macs were on 10.3.6. So sshed into them and ran all updaters and repaired permissions. Then upgraded ARD client.
Any thoughts on whats the cause of this problem and how to remedy it?
Any suggestions is appreciated.

More info after some testing.
Noticed machines that started out with base OS 10.3.1 with subsequent updates are the ones having observe/control issue. Most update progressions: 10.3.2, 10.3.3, 10.3.6 combo, 10.3.9 combo.
Machines that started out with base OS 10.3.5 are not effected after upgrading to 10.3.9.
Repaired permissions, updated binding, re-applied 10.3.9 combo update to one machine with no change.
Removed client by taking following steps - KB 108021
$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/CoreServices/Menu\ Extras/RemoteDesktop.menu
$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/
$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/PreferencePanes/ARDPref.prefPane
$ sudo rm -rf /System/Library/StartupItems/RemoteDesktopAgent/
$ sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ARDAgent.plist not applicable in any of my configs
$ sudo rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteManagement.plist
Built an client installer package using ARD 3 admin and still can't Observe/Control but most other items seem to function.
I'm suspecting this has to do with base OS these machines were built on. Running out of ideas. I would like to find out whats preventing me to control machine instead of rebuilding a bunch of machine. Any input is appreciated.

Internet Based Client Management - upgrade clients

Hi.
I have a customer, who wants to deploy an SCCM site and Internet Based clients. Main purpose is to patch manage the clients.
I have one concern though - the certificate and client deployment AND the ongoing upgrade of clients.
I believe, we will have to deploy certificates from the internal PKI and install the clients manually/scripted - right?
How about upgrading clients when a CU is installed on the SCCM-server? Can Internet Based clients automatically upgrade or will we have to manually install every time a new client is available?
Thanks in advance!
/Michael

The certificate doesn't have to be of the internal PKI it can come from anywhere as long as it can be used to authenticate the client.
When you're dealing with Internet-only clients then yes the client needs to be manually/ scripted installed to specifically provide the client with the right information.
Once the client is installed the normal CU packages can be used to upgrade the clients.

HT201343 Can I upgrade my mid 2010 macbook pro to use airplay?

Can I upgrade my mid 2010 macbook pro to use airplay?

Unfortunately, no you can't.
Just to be clear. Your computer will support AirPlay it's just AirPlay Mirroring that requires newer hardware.

It's a phishing attempt to get your account and payment details, it's not from Apple - if you clicked on the links in it and entered your details then you should change your password immediately e.g. by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store on your iPad and selecting 'view apple id' on the popup and signing into it, via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes or via http://appleid.apple.com
If you still have the email then you could forward it to Apple : [email protected]

There could be many causes. What happens when you try to use it. also try adding it again.

I just upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 6 using Itunes. After 1.5 hours all I have is an itunes graphic on my phone. It does nothing else and nothing seems to be happening anymore in itunes. Please help. I think I bricked my own phone and should have known bet

Please help. I think I just bricked my own phone. Despite worries after reading all of the rpoblems people have had upgrading their iphone to Ios 6, I used iteunes to do this to my iPhone 4. (I upgraded to the latest itunes.) Now after 1.5 hours of everything seeming to work OK, all I have is an Itunes graphic on my phone and nothing going on any more in Itunes. The phone doesn't shut down normally or anything. Suggestions? Should I just do a restore operation? I did back up my apps and pics.

Thank you. I ended up performing the Restore after I did an Update, and performing the restore solved the problem----I now have a functioning iPhone with all of my data, pics, and apps on it. Fortunately I made sure that I backed up my iPhone before I tried to update to iOS6. Man, what a headache though, and it sounds like I had it easy compared to some other horror stories I've read. I won't update my iOS on my iPhone again; i've learned my lesson. It remains to be seen whether iOS6 will be worth it :-)

After upgrading to firefox 7, I can't use many of the features on my schools secure website. So, how do I install a previous version of firefox?

After upgrading to firefox 8, I can't use many of the functions on my schools website like opening the textbook and sending emails. I spoke the school's tech. support & they informed me that my version of firefox was not compatible with their system. So, how do I install a previous version of firefox (firefox 6 to be exact)?

You can download Firefox 6.0.2 for Mac OS X 10.5 from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/6.0.2/
Backup your '''Profiles''' folder before new installation.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion, can no longer use airplay

Last week I purchased Apple TV (I believe its 3rd Gen) and had it all working fine, until I decided to be 'clever' and upgrade to Mountain Lion so I could use the mirroring in AirPlay. Prior to the upgrade I could stream brilliantly through itunes, including movies, to the tv via our Apple TV.
After the upgrade iTunes intially kept popping up every time I would attempt to play a movie through airplay and say it couldn't find the Apple TV. After a few hours of pulling my hair out, restoring the Apple TV, restarting my MacBook a million times and whacking the keyboard for effect - the AirPlay icon has now totalling disappeared from iTunes. After a bit of investigation, I discovered that my Mac is actually mid 2010 and thus I understand incapable of mirroring through Mountain Lion! I've read that uninstalling Mountain Lion is actually more a case of wiping my laptop and starting again. I'm really hoping to avoid that!!
Is there a way I can still use AirPlay in iTunes with Mountain Lion and if so I'd appreciate some direction on how to get it working.

fixed - found out I had to turn off IGMP Proxy in my FiOS home router. Why, I don't know.

Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

Client proxy consuming web service provider using logical port issue

Hi All,
I have a proxy client having a logical port (configured using NWDS) to consume a web service in the provider system.
In the logical port, I have given target address, and logical port name. While moving this client proxy NWDI dev track to Q and prod,
how do I change this target address to point to Q and prod respectively. In other words, even though I am using Visual admin to configure the destination url for the logical port, to point to Q and prod, its still referring to the dev environment provider service after moving the proxy client to Q and prod. What is the suggested approach to take care of this issue
Thx
mike

Hi Michael,
I can only help from that point of view that I believe this question belongs to the forum

Please try to raise this question there.

I am trying to convert a PDF into a document that can be edited - it's a client feedback form. I am using Adobe forms Central and it's saying that it can't use my document.

Hi Michelle ,
We are extremely sorry that you have had a bad experience with Adobe .
As far as your issue is concerned ,Acrobat generally prompts for internet connection as it is required to activate the product before you could use it comfortably .Once the product is activated or licensed you would be able to use the software offline .
This could be the possible reason you are experiencing this .Please check if you have done so and still facing this .And if you have not ,you need to license/activate your product by typing in your credentials ,i.e Adobe ID and password .
You could also refer the following link to get updated about the activation of your product .
