When using Apple Remote Desktop to connect to a headless Mac Mini, I get a black screen. However, once I plug a monitor into it, I can see the remote machine screen. Is there something I can set on the remote machine (the Mac Mini) so I do not need to have a monitor permanently connected to it?
Thanks in advance.
I actually just encountered the same exact problem today. I've had a Mac Mini connected to a 42" TV for the past 6 months, and I always used ARD to view the screen (rarely via the TV).
Today, I moved the machine to a new location, one which leaves it headless, and now ARD displays a black screen. I don't know if it has to do with the Mini not knowing what resolution to present, since it doesn't have a display connected to it, but it's definitely causing a problem- I no longer have the 42" TV, or any display, for that matter, to use!
