Difficulty controlling client's OS X Catalina
Hello,
When I remote control a customer's mac running macOS Catalina, I can see background,
top bar and LMIrescue window but I can't see all other windows on Mac.
In June, before the last macOS Catalina update , your article How-can-I-remote-control-a-customer-s-Mac-running-macOS-Catalina worked well for Catalina.
But now, when I go into Systeme Preferences > Security & privacy > all LMIrescue are checked in Accessibility/ Full disk Access/ Screen recording but it doesn’t work. The customer cannot uncheck to recheck Lmirescue.
The only thing possible is in Accessibility > "+" > Download > select Supportlogmeinrescue > Open and there I can move the mouse, click everywhere but I still do not see the windows as if Screen Recording does not work.
Same thing after restart the Mac, customer's account is in Admin.
We use Lmirescue in my company, latest version of the technicians console on MAC and Windows, it works for remote control on windows and MAC before Catalina. It’s hard for us not to be able to take control on Catalina.
Do you know the case and have a solution?
Thanks for your assistance
I had the same issue and I opened a ticket with LMI support. They gave me a script to run in Terminal and it worked perfectly! Figured I would share to see if it works for anyone else.
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/LogMeIn-Rescue $ rm /tmp/lmi.txt ; CX_LOG=/tmp/lmi.txt /Applications/LogMeIn-Rescue.app/Contents/MacOS/LogMeIn-Rescue >>/tmp/lmi.txt 2>&1

Hi fthftf
Can you try running this script to see if it fixes the screen sharing functionality:
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/LogMeIn-Rescue $ rm /tmp/lmi.txt ; CX_LOG=/tmp/lmi.txt /Applications/LogMeIn-Rescue.app/Contents/MacOS/LogMeIn-Rescue >>/tmp/lmi.txt 2>&1

Hi,
At the point when I controller a client's macintosh running macOS Catalina, I can see foundation,
top bar and LMIrescue window yet I can't see any remaining windows on Mac.
In June, before the last macOS Catalina update , your article How-can-I-controller a-client s-Mac-running-macOS-Catalina functioned admirably for Catalina.
Yet, presently, when I go into Systeme Preferences > Security and protection > all LMIrescue are checked in Accessibility/Full circle Access/Screen recording however it doesn't work. The client can't uncheck to reverify Lmirescue.
The main thing conceivable is in Accessibility > "+" > Download > select Supportlogmeinrescue > Open and there I can move the mouse, click all over however I actually don't see the windows as though Screen Recording doesn't work.
Same thing after restart the Mac, client's record is in Admin.
We use Lmirescue in my organization, most recent rendition of the specialists console on MAC and Windows, it works for controller on windows and MAC before Catalina. It's hard as far as we're concerned not to have the option to take control on Catalina.
Do you know the case and have an answer?
A debt of gratitude is in order for your help

gwpd Specifically which Rescue version are you running on the problem Mac? If you're not running the Mac beta testing version, I will post this as soon as it becomes publicly available to all customers. Thanks for your patience.

Well its Friday and after 2-3 days of all working great we are now back to square one, rescue works fine on my PC Win 10 Pro, it works fine on my older G5 Apple Mac, and is totally useless on my Apple Book Pro.
No new updates on Laptop, rescue starts, I can see clients machines, I can enter their user names and passwords, then it just freezers once I try to login to clients machines.
So as long as I site in my office for the rest of my life and don't upgrade any of my machines all works.
Is anyone having better luck than me with this problem.
- Aries_LMI5 years agoNew ContributorNot only this, but you need to remove the old LMI entries in those boxes or you're not re-checking what you Think you are. MacOS has a bad habit of remembering something it doesn't need to.
