Can't control Lion macmini with ARD 3.5.1 client

Holy crap! that worked just grand. Thx so much for uncovering this bug!!!😁

All is well! thx

Anyone know of a way of doing this via ARD?

I am remote and have a connection for reports and cmds, but no screen sharing

My suggestion is the way to do it remotely. you turn it off, then back on.

You can turn on ssh from ARD under Unix Commands (there's a template), then you can ssh into the machine from Terminal.

The syntax for that would be in Terminal:

ssh xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx -l username

where the x's are the ip address, and username is a user with admin rights.

OMG...I'm a dummy....

WORKED LIKE A CHARM!!!!!!!

Thank you VERY much...

Thank you very much for this fantastic simple trick. It works fine with my mac mini server using Lion and ARD 3.51

It worked great! Thanks.

I have found Lion to have the same problem in other areas, just unselecting, then reselecting does the trick!

I tried the two commands on my wife's MacBook Pro and got command not found.

The problem I am having is ARD connection issue between my iMac and her MBP. Each

time I get a Connection failed issue. Never a prblem until I instaill OS X 10.7 on both

and the new ARD 3.5.1 on the iMac

Is there anyway to the access OFF and access ON from the Finder?

I am totally lost on how to clear the Connection failed issue.

If you just copy it from here, there will be a space between k and ickstart - it is not supposed to be there.

I tried it and got the first statement to work with access set to OFF and now there is something wrong with the reset statement ther than the k.

I tried unchecking, rechecking Remote Management/Screen Sharing and even tried turning off AFP and enabling SMB, stopped making my Home Folder public in sharing to no avail. File Sharing still works, but boy, the lack of Screen Sharing is killing me!

I tried typing the sudo command into Terminal on my Mac Mini (where I'm trying to mirror the virtual display onto my MacBook Air), but it to no avail.

The first command line Apple suggests:

kickstart - restart -agent

Asks for the admin password. After entering it, Terminal tells me the "command not found."

Tried your suggestion:

kickstart -deactivate -configure -access - off

Also tells me "command not found"

What the **** am I doing wrong?

I tried the same - but no joy, still nor working.

Come on Apple this is pretty fundamental...

Tried that but still not working

Ditto, ditio. Thank you very much. I have been having fits with ARD since installing 10.7. When I

would try to cnnect to my wife's MacBook Pro from the iMac, ARD came back with a Connection

error. I tied everything I could think of and nothiing would clear the error.

I finally tried the tip to open the Sharing pane on the MBP and toggled the Remote Managementg

on and off a few times. Like magic the next time I tried to connect it worked perfect.

Thank you again for a simple fix to a show-stopper problme
