Where is apple remote desktop?

Where is apple remote desktop installed?

Note that the administrator software for Apple Remote Destkop is not included with Mac OS X. You have to purchase it. It's available from the Mac App Store for $79 US if I remember the price correctly. Once installed, the administrator application will be the Applications folder.

HT201332 where do i find my Apple Remote Desktop client

I have the Apple Remote Desktop client installed on my Mac but cant find the application anywhere.? Where do i find it to start using. Thanks

Like varjak paw said, the client is only part of the ARD solution. By enable the client on your computer, you can connect to it from another mac on your local network using Apple Remote Desktop.
If your looking for a free altertive you could try VNC. The limitation of ARD and VNC is that without configuring your firewall you won't be able to connect to your mac from over the internet.
If you want an easy way to connect to your mac from over the internet I would suggest checking our logmein.

Apple Remote Desktop - Where do I start?

I need some help. I have three Macs at home and one at my moms. I bought ARD today and installed it. I can only control one Mac. Can anyone walk me through the process of finding and establishing a client? When I put in an IP address, ARD cannot find it.
Need Some Help!

Ok first, you need to make sure that ARD is allowed on the client machines. to do this go to System preferences -> sharing -> Check the Apple Remote Desktop option.
Next turn ARD on your computer and go the scanner window drag the computers to the All computer list and input their passwords and usernames.
After that you should be able to click on the all Computers list and double click on any of the computers and take control.
The one at your moms will have to be setup through forwarding ports through her router at her house. If you do a search on port forwarding or ARD over the internet you should be able to find lots of info.

How can I remotely access my computer from a different location on Apple Remote Desktop?

I downloaded Apple Remote Desktop and am trying to access our computer at our church that is in the auditorium and work on slides for ProPresenter from my office which is on a different network. The Mac Pro, which is in the auditorium, is connected to a Netgear wireless router. I would also want to be able to have access to observe and control the screen on the Mac Pro whether I am in my office or at my house. I have tried everything from going to portforward.com, followed those instructions, did port forwarding, used ipchicken.com to get my external IP and made sure that the Mac Pro had a static internal IP address and made sure the computer had access for remote management. Any help to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated! Works fine when it is on the same wireless network, but I need access being on a different wireless network. Thanks!

Hi austinmac14,
So the steps listed bellow assume some things. They assume that the Airport Extreme Router your configuring is connected directly to the internet connection. And that the Airport Extreme is the only router between your computers and the internet.
That means we're talking about say a DSL modem plugged directly into the Airport Extreme, or a cable modem. in ether case, this assumes that said modem, is not acting as an internet router.
If your modem has multiple ethernet ports on it, or has a little antenna sticking out of it, then your modem is probable also a router, and these steps listed bellow will probable not work.
Also these steps are so one person, can connect to one computer at your work.
Open Airport Utility:
go to the dock
Click on the finder
go to the menu bar
Click on the "Go" menu
Chose "Utilities" from the "Go" Menu
double Click on "AirPort Utility"
Access the Base Station:
Double Click on your Airport Extreme BaseStation that is your internet connection router.
a new window should pop up with your Airport Base Station as the Window Name
Configure Static Address for the computer you want to connect to via ARD:
Click on the internet Icon from the toolbar
Click on the "DHCP" tab
For "DHCP Reservations:" Click on the "+" button
For the "Description" put "ARD"
For "Reserve Address by:" set "DHCP Client ID"
Click the "Continue" button
For "DHCP Client ID:" set "ARD"
write down the number in "IPv4" address field
Click the "Done" Button
Configure routing to ARD computer:
Click on the "Advanced" icon from the tool bar.
Click on the "Port Mapping" tab
Click on the "+" button
for "Service:" Chose "Apple Remote Desktop"
for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8)"
Click the "Continue" button
Click the "Done" button
Click the "+" button
For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Apple Events"
for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
Click the "Continue" button
Click the "Done" button
Click the "+" button
For the pulldown menu "Service:" Chose "Remote Login - SSH"
for "Private IP Address:" copy the exact IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
Click the "Continue" button
Click the "Done" button
Click the "Update" button.
wait for the Airport Extreme to update, and for your computer to reconnect to the airport extreme. (make sure you can load and browse websites.)
Configure the ARD computer to use the correct IP address:
Go to the computer you want to be able to remotely connect to
On that computer, Go to the menu bar
Chose the "Apple" menu bar
Chose "System Preferences…"
Click on the "Show All" button
Click on the "Network" icon
For the active network connection, (the connection on the left side with the green dot), click on it
Clock on the "Advanced…" button
Click on the "TCP/IP" tab
for the "DHCP Cient ID: field put "ARD".
Click the "OK" button
Click the "Apply" buttonNOTE: Under "Status" you should see "(connection name) is connected to (airport base station name) and has the IP address (IP address)." the "(IP address)" address displayed should match the IP address you wrote down in step "3. 8."
Find out what your public internet IP address is.
On the computer you wish to connect to over the internet, gotohttp://whatismyipaddress.com/
when the web page loads, you should see "IP Information:" fallow by a number like 192.168.0.1, write down what ever number it is.
At this point you should be able to connect to the computer remotely
connect to the internet from another location.
open Apple Remote Desktop
go to the file menu
chose connect to computer using ip address
set the address to the address to the IP address you wrote down for step 6. 2.
use the same password as you used to connect to the computer at work using ARD.
So here the catch. If your router gets reset... well then your going to have to configure it again. Also all the same rules you have to connect to the computer at work, also apply to connecting to the computer from over the local network. That means your computer need to be on or sleeping. And if it's sleeping it need to be configure to wake for network access.
Also some network connections change. When it comes to internet connections, some connections are static IP, while other connections are DHCP. If your connection is static... great! if it's DHCP, your address may change. If it dose.. well then your ability to connect will break. And then you'd have to do step 6 & 7 again.
Of corse there are ways around this. But that's kind of another conversation.
Some internet locations may block your ability to connect to your computer at work. This is very common at schools, and companies. Basically any place that tries to control your ability to browse the internet, may block remote access to computers; because a remote computer would completely by pass their web filter.
ALSO there is an easier option. As far as setup. There are programs designed to make remotely accessing your mac as easy as possible. For instance there is LogMeIn or Slack. With both of these programs, it's simple. make sure your computer is always on. Then install the software. Create an account with the service. And then you can connect to the computer almost any where by going to their website.
This option requires no router configuration. It handles DHCP. It's designed to work in as many locations as possible.

How can I deploy my AAMEE without Apple Remote Desktop?

Hi everyone,
I created a build for Adobe CS6 Production Premium for Mac with the serial number embedded, along with the current updates. All is well with that; however, this is the issue that I am having:
I have tried to test the build on a local machine (the computer I created the build on) and was able to install the package with no issues; however, when I try to deploy build onto a networked machine, it doesn't work.
I have read through the AAMEE Reference Guide and have read (if I am not mistaken) that for CS6, you can only deploy an AAMEE build through Apple Remote Desktop onto multiple machines. I have also read that you would need Apple Remote Desktop on all of the machines you want the build to deploy on.
If that is case, if I have read the guide correctly, what is the point of deploying the build through a network if you have to still install ARD onto all the machines you want the software one? How can you get around this to be able to deploy your AAMEE successfully onto a network on machines?
When I tried it last night on one network Mac with ARD, I received the error message for "Validating packages...". I'm not sure what that means because the build works perfectly on local machine.
Any ideas would help as far as deploying the build on a network without using ARD, or really, just a simpler alternative that works?
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can deploy package using any of these tools - ARD, SSH, Casper suite, Absolute manage, Land desk..and may be more but we have only tried these.
We have mentioned ARD as an example, but other standard tools can be very well used for deploying package. and there is no need to have ARD installed on all machines where you want to deploy the package, but only on admin machine.
can you please let me know - which client OS are you trying to deploy the package and whether the client machine is logged or logged in? please forward install.log if you are facing the error.
thanks,

Apple Remote Desktop and Microsoft Dynamic DNS

Ok, so we are trying to manage Mac in our enterprise. We have bound them to the ActiveDirectory domain so that we can centrally control log on authentication. Now we bought Apple Remote Desktop in an effort manage updates/push packages/make configuration changes, but there is a slight problem: The apple remote desktop application needs to know the IP address of the machines to be able to manage them but our work force is mobile so they VPN into our network and receive an IP from the DHCP pool.
How, then, can we get the mac to update its IP address in our Microsoft DNS system like our Windows machines? Is there an equivalent "register this connection's entry in DNS?" feature in MacOS?

Hi Paul,
Are you trying to connect to a computer that's connect to the internet with wildblue excede? or are you trying to connect to a computer some where else while your connect to the internet with wildeblue excede?
Ether way, have you considered an altertive solution? For instance LogMeIn?

Apple Remote Desktop and WildBlue Excede

I am trying, without luck, to get Remote Desktop to work with WildBlue Excede. Can port forwarding be established with their Surfbeam2 Satellite Modem? If so, what are the port numbers, and how is it done?
Has anyone had success in setting up Apple Remote Desktop and WildBlue?
WildBlue Technical Support said they do not provide static IP addresses, so it couldn't be done. Something tells me that is not true.
Has anyone had any luck with WildBlue?
Many thanks

Work with and store the documents on DropBox or something similar. It's free for DropBox. All you need after that is access to the internet and regardless of where you are and what you're using you have access to your documents.

Apple Remote Desktop 3.72 Shows Update in Store

I have been a many year user of Apple Remote Desktop, and have updated the administrative application routinely as available, as well as updating all of the client machines which I control.
My MacBook Pro Retina machine running OSX Yosemite with all of the current updates where I have ARD Admin installed is now showing that I need to update ARD to 3.72, in spite of the fact that ARD admin shows 3.72 as the current version installed on the machine.
When I go to Apple Store, Updates, the only update displayed is ARD. When I attempt to update, I get the message:
"Remote Desktop is already installed on this computer. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu to check for available updates."
This is not a crisis, but I would prefer not to be notified that I need to update, when I cannot, every time I go to Apple Store updates.
Any help appreciated....
Bill

I love it!
Apple: "You can safely ignore these messages."
Whew, I guess we had all been unsafely ignoring these messages till now.
Again, Apple: "You do not need to install this update [3.7.2] if you already have Remote Desktop 3.7.2 installed."
Thanks for clearing that up.
I'm sure the Apple design guidelines have something to say about sending messages that should be ignored.

Apple Remote Desktop update 3.5.2

since Apple Remote Desktop update 3.5.2 when I access to a computer using two screens I get black screen or partial displays

Hi Cheryl,
I'm not using "Mirror Displays" so I was not aware that a bug was also existing there [Apple really worked like pigs for this update of ARD admin]...
So with ARD admin 3.5.2 the "working" screen arrangement is the following:
(no "Mirror Displays" => dual screen)
Now to downgrade to ARD admin 3.5.1 they are two ways depending where you bought it:
- AppleStore/Retail [my case]: download the DMG (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1424), trash the application "Remote Desktop" and try to install fresh from the DMG. If a problem occurs, you will need to remove completly ARD: do a Spotlight search for "This Mac" with "filename containing" "remotedesktop" with criteria "System files" "are included" and trash everything (that is consistent with ARD), try to install again from the DMG.
- AppStore: no chance for you, only TimeMachine might help you, or if you manually backup every application after each update.
Good luck.

Apple Remote Desktop serial number never memorized

I just installed Apple Remote Desktop on a new computer.
Here are my versions:
– MacOS X 10.6.4;
– ARD 3.3.2.
Everytime I start ARD,
my "Name:" and "Organization:"
fields are as correctly filled as I did it on the first
time.
But the field "Serial Number:" is empty, when I enter it
correctly everytime.
Where is this useless checking coming from?
How may I get rid of such a checking window?

Thank you for the hint.
There were many problems with the exact same
symptoms which didn't end with a clear resolved status in many different
discussions groups.
Thank you for puting this discussion in the right one I missed .
I tried the usual search through time modification of
files and discovered that an empty session of ARD was at first
accessing:<pre>
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist</pre>
Hence I did a:<pre>
rm /Library/Preferences/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist</pre>
After 2 restarts, ARD did remember my serial number .

Apple remote desktop name and organization

Hi
I just downloaded apple remote desktop from my developer account but when i run it and put the serial number
it also asks for name and organization which doesnt exists in the file that have the serial number so from where
i can get those ?

The latest version of ARD is available from the App Store, and does not require a serial number. You can also buy the serial numbered version, with a serial number, at the online store (http://store.apple.com/us/search?find=apple+remote+desktop).

Does Apple Remote Desktop log "sent messages" and "chat" activity?

Hello,
We have a very important task of finding out if Apple Remote Desktop logs any/all messages that are sent through the "send message" or "chat" feature? Do you know where it would be stored? Thanks. Any/all input would be appreciated. (ARD 3.1 Admin and client)

Do you mean the content of the message, or the fact that a message was sent? If you mean the content, then no, to the best of my knowledge ARD keeps no track of the content of messages or chat. If you mean tracking that a message was sent, then it might appear in the Console log, but I haven't tried it to test.
