What is Remote Desktop Client Update v 3.8.2

Why do I need Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2

It's just something that comes built into every Mac. You can either download it or right click the update and choose "Ignore" or "Hide". It's a very small update that doesn't take long to download or install so it's probably easier in the long run just to click the "Update all" button in the App Store when you see more than one update available along with 10.10.2 for example.
You can also have these updates install automatically. See the bottom of the first link "App Store preferences" for how to do this:

  • 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.
    THanks,
    Andrew

  • Remote Desktop Client update 3.8.2 keeps appearing

    I installed the remote desktop client update 3.8.2 on my mini (Yosemite) without any probs. On my Air it is appearing over and over again although it shows up (5 times in the meantime) as being installed correctly.
    Whats going wrong?
    I had this issue with one of the latest printer updates, but was able to solve this by downloading the installer separately.
    Is there a download for the remote client update anywhere.
    Thanks
    Stefan

    Try re-indexing Spotlight.
    Spotlight – Re-index
    If that doesn't work, try control - clicking on the update to see if you get a Hide Update option.

  • HT5170 What is Remote Desktop client 3.5.3?

    What is Remote Desktop client 3.5.3?

    Remote Destop Client is built-in to the mac os operating system. Like paw said, long as it's off in system preference sharing it can not be used to connect to your computer. It's like the cup holder in your car, it's there, regardless if you chose to use it or not.
    Some times Software Update will not offer another update until the currently offered update is installed. So while you may not use Remote Desktop Client, you may want one of the other updates that relies on that Remote Desktop Client update being installed.
    Software Updates can also improve the security of your computer. So while your not using Remote Desktop Client, the udpate could improve the security of your computer as a whole.

  • HT201068 In the Ap Store "Updates" window, it says that "Remote Desktop Client Update" was installed today.  I never intentionally installed "Remote Desktop".  How did it get there, Where is it on my computer, and How can I remove it?  Thank You!

    I don't know if you have been there, but a very suspicious icon!  (Like this one on a NSA satellite: http://b-i.forbesimg.com/kashmirhill/files/2013/12/Satellite-logo-for-spying.jpg)  Yikes!
    Are they after the French too?!?  I thought we were allies?!?  Wait a minute . . . I'm an American citizen with the Constitutional Right (which they vowed to uphold when they took their job!) of privacy!!!
    What do you think of all this?
    How did you find it in the OS?
    Do I just trash it with "Secure Empty"?

  • App Store keeps asking me to download update for "Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client

    Hi, the App Store keeps asking me to download the update Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v1.1 but I have never purchased Remote Desktop Client so I am unsure why it is asking me to and worry that someone is trying to spy on me!  Does anyone know why this is?  Thanks in advance!

    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".  ;-)

  • HT201332 Remote Desktop Client Update?

    Why does Apple Software update keep giving me Remote Desktop Client updates, when I do not have Apple Remote Desktop installed on my computer (to my knowledge)?
    I have not updated it once since I've had this computer (about 3 years), and I don't intend to until I know what it is for.

    The Mac OS X operating system is made up of many components. Things like CUPS for printing, Bonjour for local network Device Discovery, TCP/IP for network communication, USB Mass Storage Driver for flash drives and external driver, USB Human Interface Driver for a verity of mice and keyboards. There are hundreds if thousands of components.
    One of those built-in Components is Apple Remote Desktop Client. Every Mac with 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 has Apple Remote Dekstop Client Built-In. It's just part of the operating system; you can find it in system prefrences sharing. It'd tighy next to printer sharing, remote access, internet sharing, file sharing, extra.
    When enabled in system prfrences, sharing, Apple Remote Desktop Client, would typicly be used in a multi computer environment. Perhap one person would supports many uers remotely. Perhaps this user would proive technical support, answering questions, and provide training. OR perhaps one user has many computers; and they don't want to have to walk across the house or office to grab one file on the other computer.
    While you may not use Apple Remote Desktop Client; it's probable a good idea to install the update. Apple Software Update may not offer you other updates important update untill you install all the udpates it currently offers you.
    Even if it's a component that you currently do not use. Those updates can patch bugs, improve security, and improve performance of your computer as a whole.

  • Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v.11 remains in Software Update queue but, is listed (several times) under "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days.

    Remote Desktop Client Update 3.8.2 v.11 remains in Software Update queue but, is listed (several times) under "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days". This is also the case with HP Printer Software update 3.0 and Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 6.03. Clicking the "update" button for these doesn't appear to install the software, but lists it in the "Updates Installed in Last 30 Days" without removing it from the Software Update queue.

    Thank you. I tried that and even gave it a few days to do its thing, but I still get the same results. Remote Desktop, HP Printer, Digital Camera all still appear in "Available Updates", but the same versions appear under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 Days". BTW, I had to manually install the Safari 8.0.4 update because it also wasn't updating.

  • Remote Desktop Client Update 3.7.0

    I'm using a 2012 MacBook Pro with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.5. When I visited the Mac App Store today, there was an Apple software update available for download - Remote Desktop Client Update 3.7.0. I don't own or use Apple Remote Desktop and to my knowledge, it's not installed on my mac in any way. Has this happened to any other non-users of Apple Remote Desktop?

    The Apple Remote Desktop CLIENT is part of the operating system and present on every mac.  If you haven't engaged Remote Management in the System Preferences/Sharing pane, it can't be used.  But it CAN be updated!  Hence the message.
    The ARD administrative package used to control a client is not on every mac and is something that must be purchased.  But to control other computers the client software must be there, so Apple just has it as part of the OS in case you ever need it.

    ?

    If you're not being managed by another Mac that has ARD, then you don't need the client update. If you plan on managing other Macs with ARD then you need to buy the admin software.
