Apple Remote Desktop on Monterey I'm currently unable to use ARD on Macs running Monterey. ARD seems to connect, I can see the cursor, but the screen is black. I've tried this on a number of Macs, both M1 and Intel and come across the same issue. I'm running the latest version of ARD and can confirm that other people in my team are experiencing the same issues. Has anyone else encountered this, any resolutions? Thanks!

Apple Remote Desktop, cannot control Monterey I've just received a new MBP which runs Monterey (12.0.1). I run ARD from a Mac running Catalina (10.15.7). From the Catalina Mac, the new MBP is visible (ARD active it shows the correct active application), but controlling it doesn't work. Anything I can do about that?

What model iMac do you have? Do you have one of the older white iMac models that came with a remote? If yes, then see if these articles help.
