VNC icon appears on client in list

I have just installed Remote Desktop and updated the ARD client software on all of the eMacs in my media center. Today when I looked at the list of computers, one of them had 'VNC' and 'VNC ON' listed. What does this mean? Looking at the permissions on this client computer showed the same configuration as all the others - VNC access was not enabled. I'm very new to this software and admittedly do not understand many of the terms nor how it all integrates. I am concerned that the machines are being accessed by others on the network using software other than ARD and which I will not be able to monitor or know about. Is this possible? Or am I needlessly worried?

You are not alone, same thing here: I just re-installed OS 10.3.9 on a G4 using the Apple Software Updater and since then I get the "VNC ON" status on that Mac. Other Macs work fine. I have deleted this machine from the ARD Master List, tried to re-define it, all in vain. I have the feeling that the software update might have installed an update that creates this problem.
I used to run version 2.1 on that machine, isn't there ARD version 2.2 now ?
There is certainly someone more knowledgeable around here than I am.

    Why doesn't the Add to Wish List icon appear on my iPhone 5? I have iOS 7...frustrating

    If it's not a free item then you should get the 'add to wish list' icon via the share button - is it a free or paid-for item that you are looking at ?

  • When I go click on a specific "Sent" message, all the lettering on the screen fades to an opaque, an hourglass icon appears, & nothing happens.

    When I open the window for all my "sent" messages and click on a specific message, nothning happens. Instead, the lettering on the list of "sent" messages fades to an opaque, and an hourglass iconn appears. When this happens, I can't even close out Thunderbird to start up again. Sometimes if I wait up to a minute or so, the message will appear. Usually, I control/alt/delete, and start all over again. This has only started happening in the past few weeks. During this same time, another problem has appeared. I use google and Youtube to watch a lot of old TV shows. Now, the Yahoo search appears, and the results include many items I don't wish to see. FYI, I use e-mail a lot, receiving and sending up to a dozen messages a day.

    re'' During this same time, another problem has appeared. I use google and Youtube to watch a lot of old TV shows. Now, the Yahoo search appears,''
    I presume you are refering to the Thunderbird search facility that allows you to 'Search google for', but now it says 'search Yahoo for'.
    When you enter something and select 'search Yahoo for' you will see a list of icons on the left side, currently the yahoo icon is selected and at the bottom the heart icon is also red.
    You can select any of those icons to change to another search engine.
    select the google icon, then at the bottom on the left, look for the heart icon, it will appear white with black outline. Click on the heart icon to change it to red. This will set google as default.
    Now close the search and retry, this time it should say 'Search google for'.

  • I have a CD which refuses to eject - no icon appeared for it, tried to eject and no response at all - can't even hear it trying, not showing on iTunes and any attempt to eject thro iTunes or any other programme seizes everything up

    Sorting out my CDs.  Put one in and no response - no icons appeared on desktop, nothing showing on iTunes.  Tried to eject and absolutely no response - can't even hear any attempt to eject.  I've tried a few different things and no response or the programme I'm using jams up.  Not a huge computer buff so I need things explained really simply - only had my Macbook Pro for a year and still not completely tuned into Apple system - would have know what to do on my old Windows!

    You can use a key combination to force removable media to eject at startup. Visit Startup key combinations for Mac - Apple Support and try the options listed in the bottom row.

  • How to restore iPod when it doesn't appear in the Source List?

    About 6 months ago I stupidly wiped my iPod Nano (5th Gen) and reformatted it as fat32. I assumed that when I formatted it back to Mac OS Journaled it would work normally as an iPod again but it doesn't. When it is plugged into my Mac running 10.5.8, it appears on the desktop/mac harddrive (without its individualised nano icon) and it fails to appear in the source list in iTunes (10.2.2).
    I have tried everything I know how to do, including the steps outlined in this support document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1410
    I need to restore the iPod to factory settings, but need a way to do this not through iTunes seeing as the iPod is not recognised. Specifically, in the following support document I cannot complete step 4:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1339
    One last thing I have tried is duplicating the files (including hidden ones) from a 5th gen nano that does appear in my source list, and placing those files into my apparently invisible nano but this has not made any difference.
    Does anyone have any suggestions? I have basically been left with a bricked paperweight (due mostly to my own stupidity!) but would love to be able to use it again.
    Thanks for any help offered

    Hello kismet_kracker,
    What happens if you place the iPod into Disk Mode with it still connected to your Mac?  Does it then show up in Finder as a mounted drive?  Here are instructions for putting your iPod into Disk Mode.

  • How do I get iPhoto to appear in my purchases list?

    I reinstalled lion on my 2011 Macbook Air, and cannot re-download iPhoto from the App Store. It tells me that iPhoto should be appearing in my purchases list, but it's not there no matter how many times I refresh the page or log in/out.
    If there's no easy solution to this on here, I can get iPhoto by other means. I just thought it best to at least attempt to use this service (the App Store) which is supposed to make application management easy.

    You have followed these steps?
    After installation, start from Lion.
    Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
    Enter your Apple ID and password.
    Click Purchases.
    If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
    You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to compete installation of your applications.

  • DVD or CD won't display or appear on hard drive list of devices

    I insert a new CD-R or DVD-R I get no response or recognition that it's there--no icon appears on the desktop or anywhere else I can find. The only way I've found to eject one is to go open Disk Utility and Eject. In Disk Utility the only option I'm given is to erase (these unused discs). Please assist; I'll gratefully receive suggestions!

    There's no indication of a CD in the Finder's sidebar or on it's main screen, which shows a number of folders labeled Music, Library, Desktop, etc. which in turn have no CD DVD icons inside; there's no General tab in the Finder's preferences. Opening the CD & DVD pane of System Preferences yields a list of 5 question of what to do when a CD or DVD is inserted, the first two for blank discs are set on Open Disc Utility--should a different choice, such as Open iDVD, Finder, Another Application be made?

  • Quotation is appearing in Billing due list: VF04

    Dear gurus,
    I am facing an issue with VF04. I am using a scrap process: Quotation --> Order --> Invoice. Now when I am using VF04 for Order related billing, Quotations are appearing in billing due list which should not be. Please guide me how can I resolve this issue.
    Awaiting your feedback.
    Regards.

    Hi
    In the standard system the item category AGN is NOT relevant for billing.
    You can check in your client 000 to confirm it it delivered with no billing
    relevance in VOV7.
    If it was set to billing rel 'B' when the quotation was created then that document
    will have a billing relevance (VBAP-FKREL = 'B') in this case changing the
    billing relevance in VOV7 will not correct that document in retrospect. 
    When the VBAP-FKREL is filled then a billing index will be generated for
    the line. You can check this in table VKDFS. When you have an entry in
    table VKDFS the document will automatically appear in VF04.
    You have to
    1) correct the customising TVAP-FKREL = ' '.
    2) Adapt the billing relevance in existing documents to current customizing
        See report ZZFKREL0 from note 127514.
    3) Run RVV05IVB to remove the unwanted VKDFS entries
    Hope thisw helps you further
    All the best

  • HT3180 I followed instructions above for  Apple TV with aluminum remote.   Still no response.  Screen is black.  Apple icon appeared briefly then went back to black screen.

    I cannot access Apple TV.  I restarted using the instructions to press menu and down together.   The apple icon appeared briefly and then the screen went black.   What can I do to restore Apple tV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

  • 2 fonts in Font Book do NOT  appear in AW WP list

    2 fonts in Font Book do NOT  appear in AW WP list ( I have used them previously on an eMac and iMac)

    Welcome to the forums!
    Do you mean you don't know how to see any fonts at all? If that is the case, use the Font icon in the toolbar, or go to the Format menu, and in the Fonts submenu choose "Show Fonts" (or use the keyboard shortcut Command-T). Any of these methods will bring up the Font Panel.
    If you mean that fonts do not show up in the Font Panel, be sure that the fonts themselves are turned on in Font Book.
