#APPLE REMOTE DESKTOP CURTAIN MODE NOT AVAILABLE HOW TO#
You could read the linked blog on how to do this, but the picture below alone should tell you what to do, what Apple display adapter you need, and what resistor to buy based on its color codes. Again, I am not a fan of this DIY hack because it's not clean and if you don't have the mDP to VGA adapter or the resistor you will have to purchase them anyway and you might only save a couple of bucks over the commercial product. I included this option both for reference to see what is being done here (how easy it is) and to provide another option if you are in a pinch. You can make your own but to me, this is not safe and very sloppy for a permanent installation. What it does is make OS X think a monitor is still plugged into the display so whatever settings you have configured for that "monitor" will be sent to the VNC viewer. It's clean, it's easy, and it works out the box. The easiest thing I have seen that solves this problem is getting a Dummy Display Emulator. If you leave the monitor attached, VNC will work with no problems across reboots Trick OS X into Thinking a Display is Still Attached This is why you have to hook up a monitor to get screen sharing to work again. This is why I am not a fan of VNC or ARD and will only use it if I absolutely have to (95% of everything I do on headless systems is in Terminal, so this doesn't come up very often for me) If nothing is connected, no parameters are sent and thus the viewer has no idea what to display. The way it works is that it queries the display server to get the settings so VNC can send those settings to the viewer. VNC is tricky to use on a headless system.
#APPLE REMOTE DESKTOP CURTAIN MODE NOT AVAILABLE MAC OS X#
One client I like on iOS and Mac OS X is Of course Apple's free Screen Sharing app (look for it in /System/Library/CoreServices/Applications ) and Apple Remote Desktop work well, too. Are the changes to Lion's screen sharing documented anywhere publicly?.The client needs to reconnect once the session drops to log you in. Some older clients break when Apple allows a choice to connect to the logged in user or a new login window. The problem also could be your choice of VNC client and it's not expecting to connect to OS X Lion or newer. For troubleshooting, you could assign a static IP address so that you're sure it's not a DHCP issue. You might need to watch for DHCP traffic and see if the Mac is rejoining the network and asking for an address from the router if you can't find the machine on reboot. To restart and skip FileVault one time, use: fdesetup authrestart

Now, you do need to get past any FileVault pre-login screen where the full actual OS isn't running yet. The service starts up automatically when incoming network traffic on the VNC ports is detected by the OS. Under the Sharing preference pane you need to enable either the Screen Sharing or the Remote Management and then use the Computer Settings dialog to enable VNC. If I can't disable the waking of the display, can I just have the iMac show the login screen instead of what I'm doing on the screen? Or can I somehow dim the display even lower than the lowest setting so that it's "almost black"?Apple supports this out of the box. I'm sure a lot has changed in the last years and I don't really know what's possible on Catalina or Big Sur.ĭoes anyone have any experience with this? But is this somehow possible? I'm trying to google but mostly find old sites like this one. But I'd really prefer if the display didn't wake up so that my colleagues see what I'm doing (open office space).
I was thinking I could screen share to my iMac (built-in app, VNC, Screens, TeamViewer, Chrome Remote Desktop, etc etc).
So even if Parallels somehow adds x86 virtualization, I can't use that solution. The app also requires an expensive license, and I doubt I can have 2 licenses.
#APPLE REMOTE DESKTOP CURTAIN MODE NOT AVAILABLE UPDATE#
If not, I'll update my partners 2013 MBA with an ARM Mac and just use that for work.Īnyway, that Win 10 is necessary (with a windows app that only run on x86 windows). Hopefully (I cross my fingers), I'll be able to also get a laptop and sometimes work remotely. One of the apps I use is Win 10 with Parallels.
