Conflicts Between AnyViewer and Apple Remote Desktop on Mac: Issues and Solutions
Discover how to resolve conflicts between AnyViewer and Apple Remote Desktop on your Mac. Learn effective solutions for smoother remote access and management.
1. Issue
I found two issues on Mac,
Issue 1: When I set AnyViewer to start by default at startup, it blocks remote connections through Apple Remote Desktop. I get a message asking me to make sure Remote Management is enabled, as if the connection port is overwritten.
I think this is a serious problem because Apple Remote Desktop allows remote access as soon as the Mac displays the login screen asking for a password, which does not happen with AnyViewer, at least not in my experience. For example, when I use AnyViewer (Pro) to update remotely, I lose control as soon as the system restarts.
On the other hand, the same situation also happens in reverse: if I enable Remote Management in System Settings, I get a black screen when trying to connect to AnyViewer, unless I disable Remote Management in System Settings first.
Is there no way to make the two services coexist like TeamViewer does?
Issue 2: If Apple Remote Management is turned on, the screen is black when connecting to AV, and disabling Apple Remote Management first should be normal.
2. Cause
3. Solution
Solution to problem 1: Remove the password and enter the system directly to access remotely.
Solution to problem 2: Disable Apple remote management first and it should be normal.
