You can access it's setting in the Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sharing > Remote Management


Where ARD is actually installed on the computer I do not know, likely tied into the OS itself. It's not in the Applicaiton or Utilities folder


Only the client side is on Mac's, the control software is sold separately, so this way if someone has a problem a simple phone call and instructions can turn on the client side and the remote person can repair the machine.

it is NOT installed in the utilities folder. The client app may be installed in the utilities folder but ARD is certainly not located in the utilities folder.

It's inside my utility folder. The icon looks like this - User uploaded fileand it is called "Remote Install Mac OS X.app"


When you click on the icon, the window tells you exactly what it is used for.

Remote Install is NOT apple remote desktop. You can post all the screen captures of other apps you want but it won't change the fact that you are wrong. The poster is asking where the app "Apple Remote Desktop" is installed on your computer, not Remote Install - not any any point ff anyone ask about Remote Install. Remote Desktop is an app that you can purchase from apple/mac app store and once installed is located under "R" for REMOTE DESKTOP

Hi there,


To be clear Remote Desktop is a seperate app to be downloaded through the Mac App Store.


http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/


The built in version, should you simly wish to control or view screens on other computers on your network is called Screen Sharing.


You cannot find the Screen Sharing app in any obvious place as it is built into you network shares in Finder.


See the article below with a how to.
