leobag Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I've read that apple's Remote Desktop (I think 3.1 is the latest version) doesn't work on the Leopard beta. Has anyone found a work around (possibly different software) so an admin running Leopard can control other clients (not necessarily running leopard)?

topshotta Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 It does not work for me also.... Id really appreciate a solution if anyone has one ! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazkid Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 There is probably a conflict between the "Screen Sharing" app built into Leopard and ARD. If all you need to do is control another users screen , the built in app should suffice. If you need the more advanced features of ARD, then well...I don't really know. But at least Screen Sharing.app is better than nothing. BTW, SS works really well, even when connecting to Tiger clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uci Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 BTW, SS works really well, even when connecting to Tiger clients. Hazkid, could you please elaborate on this? I want to control my Tiger mac at home from a Leopard machine at work. What should I do on each machine? I am desperately running Timbuktu now.

leobag Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 look in /System/Library/CoreServices/ for an app called "Screen Sharing.app" Launch that and enter the IP address for the computer you want to control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazkid Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Sorry for the confusion. I've only tried connecting across our local network. I've never even tried to connect "from afar". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Fogge Posted September 3, 2007 Share Posted September 3, 2007 The work-around is to go to connect.apple.com and download Apple Remote Desktop v3.2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMuS Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Hi! I connected yesterday via Screen sharing to a Tiger computer from internet (of a friend), with the current user logged into it, but today i've tried again and doesn't let me authenticate. My friend has not changed any configuration at all... anyone know a solution? Thanks! Edit: To be sure..., what service would the server machine have enabled?

wisequark Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 Most of the stuff on ADC doesn't get leaked as it's of little interest to the general community. Legitimate arguments can be made for users experiencing Leopard before release (student developers, for instance, who can't afford the ADC Select membership often resort to leaked builds - Apple's gotten much stricter as of late with giving comped access to the builds) but if you really are in an environment where you need Apple Remote Desktop as opposed to a free/cheap VNC solution then you really should consider buying a membership. ARD is a pretty pricey app to begin with and is overkill for most uses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
