Why does Apple Remote Desktop 3 ask for key everytime I use it?

Every time I try to use the Remoste Desktop, I have to enter the key, like I am using it for the very first time. 

Try removing the copy of ARD you've installed completely using the instructions here, if you haven't already, then reinstall ARD and run Software Update to get it upgraded to the latest version before attempting to launch ARD. Then launch and enter in your key and see if it holds. If not, you may have a permissions issue on your system preventing the preference from being saved.
Regards.

  • HT3702 why does Apple not go through PayPal for ipad game purchases?

    why does Apple not go through PayPal for ipad game purchases that are in your PayPal bank account? Not everyone uses credit cards

    The iTunes Store does allow purchases via PayPal, but only in the US. If you're in another country, PayPal is not available as a payment method.

  • Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it

    Why does the aol desktop crash every time I try to use it and how can I fix the problem.

    I am having exactly the same problem with my iPhone 4 (running 6.0.1 (10A523)). I have rebooted several times since this started occurring but it doesn't change the behavior. It was also reporting a "storage almost full" error quite often when I still have 1GB - 3GB of free space. As a troubleshooting exercise I removed all my music so there is now 20.1GB free. The storage warning no longer appears but the same issue still persists with reminders. Help, please!

  • Apple Remote Desktop 3.3 for Lion?

    Hello guys,
    I have original cd apple remote desktop 3.3 and now I bought a new macbook air. I want to ask, install or upgrade version 3.3 I did not buy the new version?
    Sorry for my english is bad.

    Not to be argumentative, but in the OP's defense, s/he said "original cd apple remote desktop 3.3 " and "I did not buy the new version". It seemed pretty clear to me s/he was referring to the admin app, even with the less-than-prefect english.
    Regards.

  • 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.

  • HT5858 Why does my iPad and iPhone ask for verification when downloading free apps

    What does my iPad ask for verification when trying to download free app from App Store

    You are required to provide credit card details to download apps be it free or paid.
    Nothing will be deducted from your credit card if the app is free.
    There will be a authorizing hold of US$1.00 to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

  • Why is Apple remote desktop not working?

    I have 4 machines in a remote office that I need to connect to using ARD 3.6. I have a VPN connection working and am able to successfully control all but one of the machines. I have checked all of the settings and have confirmed that the Mac that ARD is not working has all of the same sharing preferences as the machines that are working. All of these machines are on the same network. All of the machines are running OS 10.8.x. All machines that I am able to connect to are running 10.8.3 but the one I can't is only at 10.8.2, but that is only because I haven't been able to remote into it yet to perform the OS update. The weird thing is that I can see the unresponsive Mac (can see the IP address, the version of ARD, OS version, etc.) but I simply can't connect to it to control or observe using ARD. I am however able to use TeamViewer from a remote Windows PC.
    Can someone provide some ideas as to what  to check and or how to fix this? TIA.

    Do you have remote login enabled?
    Have you tried using the kickstart command to restart the ARD Client?
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If it's not enabled you will need to call a user or someone at the location and have them check the box to enable remote login.
    In the past the ARD client has 'stalled' forcing me to restart the agent. Another option would be to have someone restart the machine for you.
    I have actually had to use ssh to uninstall and re-install the client software due to corruption or ??.
    Let me know what the outcome is. I see this was from May so let me know either way.
    Thanks

  • Why does apple Remote app disconnect from itunes all the time

    I have downloaded the apple remote app on my iphone 5 and have successfully attached it to my itunes library via Homeshare.
    However, if i leave my phone and it goes into the suspended mode it will not be able to find the itunes library again.
    To do so, i have to turn off the HomeSharing facility on itunes, then turn it on again. Then the iphone Remote app will find the itunes library.
    Please please please can someone help me as it's doing my brain in?!?!?
    I am running the itunes program on a PC.
    thanks!!

  • Does Apple Remote Desktop control only one specified local account or could you, say, make it able to manage all network accounts?

    When you set up Remote Desktop, is it possible to set up Remote Desktop for ALL network accounts on that computer instead of enabling it for each network account.

    If I understood this straight, yes, you can control any user logged in a client computer, doesn't matter which login/pass you used to first connect. In other words, if you added a computer by the user "Jonh" you can still control remotely the same computer even if "Mary" is logged at the moment.
    Hope it helped

  • Why does apple schedule kids summer camp for days after school starts

    Apple stores finally released their summer camp dates and the Stories in Motion
    which start on July 14 and go through to August 1, but they are all full.
    The next class is their interactive storytelling with ibooks, whcih goes from July 21 to August 1.
    Schools here in Chandler AZ start on July 21. 
    Does Apple expect me to take my kids out of school so they can attend the Apple Summer camp?

    Nobody in these forums has any info on Apple's camp policies.  Talk to the people who run your local Apple store.

  • Why does apple mail keep running on my system, i never use it

    My macbook pro runs Lion, the latest version.
    For some reason, apple mail program starts up, and it is a program I have never used, nor do I plan to.
    I made a trip into the store and they did a quit, but of course, that doesn't solve the problem.   No real
    answer for why its starting, who/what starts it, and how to prevent it.
    Each time its running I have to click 2-3 dialogue boxes before it will let me quit, and it prevents the machine
    from going to sleep if its running and I'm not aware of it.
    Apple told me they were using the mail program to synch between the iphone and the machine.   Although I did
    install cloud, I do not use it.  My machine has so many problems, ever since I bought it, and I have had so many
    trips to the apple store, without real explanations or solutions.   What has happened to the great produce we
    knew and loved?    Complexity and the post-modern era are upon us.
    I have logged 71 hours of tech support time on the iphone, so I no longer work on trying to solve that problem.
    I actually work for a living and have no time for this.   The sad thing is I am in a position to recommend products
    for my employer and some major new budgets in the health sector.  I loved my mac for years and years.. always
    buying a mac, making arguments for macs when all around me had pc's, etc.    Now I am starting to doubt the mac.
    I hope that by participating in the mac community there will be some simple answers, and I don't have to spend HOURS
    of frustration for things that should not be a problem in the first place.    We bought apple one-one, but the website never
    works, and although they told me to call to make the appointment, it is just the general number and there is 45 minutes
    of scratchy music with someone who does not know how to make one-one appointments.... 
    Sorry to ***** and moan here....       I'm sure I'm not the only one having these frustrations.

    etresoft, I think you are being unnecessarily harsh to gloriastitz. She is frustrated and doesn't understand computers at the level you do. What she is experiencing is frustrating, so she is frustrated. I have been a help-desk professional for over 15 years now, and emotions are part of the business.
    I know it has been over 6 months since gloriastitz posted her reply. I hope she got a useful answer, but I fear we have satisfactorily scared her away from seeking help.
    So, the first best response to tell someone is that the problem they are experience is almost certainly fixable, but may require more information to solve. You tell them you understand their frustration (even if you personally don't experience frustration or don't understand why people my express frustration publicly about a problem that frustrates them). It's just good protocol.
    Then you work with the person to break down the problem into steps. If you don't have a ready answer and don't think you might even know the answer with sufficient data, then back out and leave it to others to tackle.
    I've been having a similar problem with my Mail program. The cause is still unclear to me after vieweing the logs and changing settings where I know them to be. There appears to be a setting that is not clearly placed in any of the typical UI locations for initiating the desired action for either a feed: or mailto: call.

    I think you are. This is not a place to rant and complain. It will just encourage people to give you unhelpful responses. If you want to complain, go elsewhere. If you want help, ask for it.
    For example, can you explain what those dialog boxes actually say? Regardless of who is starting Mail, it will not prevent your machine from sleeping.

  • Why does Apple downgrade Pages... they want us to use Word Instead Pages?

    I'm really frustated about new Apple Pages 5.0. Many many many features are not there anymore.  Why this update? Jobs... we miss you!!! I can't believe I will have to use MICROSOFT WORD!

    It seems that Apple is locked in to a cycle of continuous 'improvements', for the sake of making headlines, which in reality turn out to be just doing something differently rather than improving things. As with most people in this forum I agree that iWork '11 is a catastrophe of a 'productivity' suite. iWork '09 was -- is -- excellent and never at any time did I wonder if Apple could remove some of the respective applications' really useful features
    Pages 5 might look a bit slicker, but it is far less functional than 4.3. As for Numbers (and I know we're on Pages, here) the same issues applied, although there have been some retro-fixes by Apple that added back in some essential features that were lost in the 'upgrade'.
    I shall now be much slower to upgrade any Apple software in the future and hope that the next revision of Pages, Numbers and Keynote offer genuine improvements.
