Dec 1, 2016 - I jumped on the new Mac OS update only to find out I can no longer tether my. This seems to be the case with Remote Camera Capture. MacOS Sierra: Allow Remote Desktop to access your computer. Use Remote Management in Sharing preferences to allow others to access your computer using Remote Desktop. Open Sharing preferences (choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sharing), then select the Remote Management checkbox. Then select options for your Mac.

I've got a Mac mini that I use as a home server, running 10.5 Server. I usually run it headless; when I need to access it directly I go through Apple Remote Desktop to get to it. Up until about two months ago that's worked without a hitch. About two months ago I decided to change my administrator password on my server as I suspected the old password had been discovered. After I did this I naturally changed the password that Remote Desktop was using. After I did this I was unable to access the mini via Remote Desktop; it would tell me that authentication had failed. Neither the old nor the new password was working.
I connected a monitor to the mini and tried logging in directly. It too would not let me login, indicating the password was wrong. (It's perhaps worth noting that all of my user accounts on the server continued to work without any problems.
It was only the administrative account that's an issue.) I restarted from the OS X Server DVD and changed the administrative password from there, thinking that perhaps I entered it incorrectly. Once that was done I restarted - and still the mini wouldn't let me login either directly or through Remote Desktop. Now thinking that perhaps someone compromised my mini, I reformatted the drive and reinstalled OS X Server from scratch. I entered a new (third) completely unique administrative password. When it restarted I did nothing but enable Remote Desktop - and STILL I'm unable to login to it via Remote Desktop, always getting the 'authentication failed' message.
I'm now hesitant to restart the mini since I want to be able to login to it. Does anyone have any idea *** is causing this issue? Some more information. I again wiped the drive and reinstalled 10.5 Server, taking particular care about the password issue. Here's what I found.
After installing and entering a password, I enabled Remote Desktop. I was NOT able to connect via Remote Desktop, getting the 'authentication failed' message. I am 100% positive that the password I entered is correct. I am able to ssh into the mini using the same password so I know that I'm entering the password correctly. On a whim, I changed the password on the mini. It accepted my original password and my new password. I was still not able to connect via Remote Desktop using the new password (authentication failed), and I was still able to connect via ssh using the new password.
I then decided to change the password back to the original password. Upon attempting this I was told that the old password I had entered was incorrect, and I am therefore unable to change the password again. I'm this close to installing a Linux server on my mini and start pressuring Apple for a refund on OS X Server. I'm having the same problem as you. If I used my administrator name of 'foo' with my administrator password, ARD fails with an authentication error.
I tried signing on as 'root' with my administrator password and ARD comes up just fine. I found a thread in another place that suggested kickstarting to solve the problem. This did not help me, but helped others: I also found another thread that suggested using disk utility to repair permissions. This didn't help, either. In my situation I built Leopard on an attached Firewire drive and got it working just fine, including ARD. Then I used SuperDuper to move the image from the Firewire drive to two raid 0 drives in my Xserve. That is when ARD started failing with my password for ARD.
