Can I use my external hdd with OSX server

Hi i am thinking about using OSX server, but I dont have very much space on the computer I would b running it of of so I would store everything on my 4TB Wd external HDD. Is this posible, and how would I set it up to do that? Also, my external also has some backups from other computers on it and will I loose any of that? I would probably partition it so that 1TB of it has all the servers files and everything.
Thanks,
Ben

Yep you can use any connected drive for server storage, its under the settings tab called Service Data
No you wouldn't lose anything on the drive (assuming its Mac formatted) but clean partition would be a good idea

Can you use any external display with a macbook?

hi all,
I was just wondering, can you use any external display with a macbook? (i.e. gateway, and dell displays?)

To original poster:
Yes.
Provided you have the appropriate ports and cables, that is. Some monitors do not have all vga, dvi-i, dvi-d, hdmi, etc. ports, and it can be misleading that all those technologies appear to be compatible via conversion cables (they aren't all meant to be compatible, so look it up on the internet before buying).

Can you use an external antenna with the 4G LTE Router with Voice?

I live in a black hole of cell service - very rural, in a valley surrounded by trees, no DSL, no cable, no other options except satellite internet which I did for 15 years and will never do again. My current data setup is a Pantech UML290 USB modem connected to a Cellphone-Mate full band outdoor Omni 3G/4G antenna on the roof. I just ordered an amplifier to boost the 4G LTE connection. The modem is plugged into a Cradlepoint MBR900 router, which then provides my home internet (way more than 10 devices, and mostly wired).
Is there a way to add the antenna and amplifier setup to the broadband router with voice so I can be assured of the signal? If so, could I then use this router to feed the Cradlepoint and continue using multiple wired devices?
I was set to order this router last night, but the CSR through chat told me that you cannot attach antenna to the router with voice - only to the one with data. This really doesn't make any sense to me, but she was firm about it. If I can attach, can I use the cables I have or will I need a different adapter?
There is so little information about this particular router. My current setup is doing fairly well, but I would love the option to drop my landline and increase signal strength for both voice and data. With no antenna, the modem gets around -125 db, and can't connect at all. With the antenna mounted on the roof, and routed through the Cradlepoint, I consistently get -85 db. 4G LTE speeds are around 15-19 Mb/s down and very inconsistent 2.5-4.0 Mb/s up. However, the 4G drops and resets multiple times a day, so I usually sacrifice the speed to get a more stable 4.5-5 Mb/s down and 0.5 Mb/s up through forced 3G.
Voice calls are spotty if received at all, and frequently drop immediately if there is any connection. And of course, the data limit has been a nightmare. I could potentially save some money by porting my landline to Verizon, but not if there is no way to boost the signals. The Omni antenna will boost all, but not sure if there's any way to route the existing antenna setup to feed both the voice and data sides, or if it would be enough to allow me to do this. This router also says it's 4G LTE only, but the specs on the antenna they sell say it boosts 3G for failover, so not sure if it will grab anything else. Any help or advice GREATLY appreciated! Thanks for reading through the whole thing.

No, not directly. You would need to transfer your data from your iPad to your Mac and then back it up to an external drive.

Can I use an external HDD for Boot Camp?

I've got the new MacBook. So, I'm gonna be short on space if I allocate space from the in built Hard Disk or ssd whatever you want to call it..
Is it in any way possible to set up the windows account with an external hard drive(with USB 3)? Or can I use time capsule(or whatever their external hard disk is called) as an external drive for windows?
Since I'll mostly be playing games in windows, I'll need decent space there too...

I'm not sure you're numbers are quite right. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit installed right now with Service Pack 1 on my bootcamp partition. I've also got Steam and Deus Ex: Human Revolution installed. Steam and the game occupy 8.47GB of space. Total space occupied on the disk is 21.2 GB, which means Windows is taking 12.73 GB. So I'd say the system requirements of 16GB for 32bit and 20GB for 64bit definitely include cache and paging, and also account for service packs and drivers.
You could easily get by with 20GB minimum space for bootcamp.
Take a moment and read the posts on this site, users who installed Windows in a 30G or less partition come here regularly trying to find the easy way to make it larger. We'll help you when you need the space.
Windows 7 should not be installed in less than a 40G partition, larger if the drive is an SSD.

Using an external hdd with windows on boot camp

Im looking into using boot camp, and was thinking about the option that you get for seeing files that you create in XP within mac OSX, well, wot would happen if i had an external hdd?
ive got one connected thru firewire, and when i use "Get Info" it tells me the format is Mac OS Extended.
Now, would that be recognised within XP, and would i be able to move/store files onto it, and then use them within OSX
If it could, then it would save me having to use a large partition for XP, and the alternative format type.
If anyone could help me out
Cheers

You would need to ensure that both the Mac OS and Windows XP OS had read/write privileges.

No, not without third party software.
and would i

You could is you used MacDrive which will allow you to read Mac formatted disks on a Windows PC.

How can I use an external display with my MBP lid closed and disconnected to power?

I know that I can use an external display when my MBP lid is closed and it is connected to power. I was wondering why it does not work when the power cable is removed.
I only use an external display when I am at home so my MBP acts like a Mac Pro or Mac Mini in that way, but it is not good to leave the battery charging constantly on a MBP so I want to disconnect the power and use external display and have the lid closed. Is this possible or do I have to leave my lid open when running on battery power?

I'm plugged into my wall socket at least 90% of the time - probably more. I always make sure that I take my MBP off mains about once every two weeks and let it run down to about 30-40% and then plug it back up. This keeps the ions flowing and the battery healthy. My MBP will be one year old on March 20, 2013, and my battery health is still at 99%. I run in clamshell mode most of the time now - since I bought a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display. Only occasionally am I off mains - and then because I'm exercising my battery, usually.
Don't worry about running of mains most of the time - just be sure and unplug about once every two weeks (or twice a month) and let your battery dip to the 30-40% mark and you'll be fine.
Good luck,
Clinton

Can't use two external drives with time machine

I have 2 external drives. I tell time machine that I have 2 and it asks if I want to use both. I say yes and it says it will alternate between them. However, after backing up to both, it then will invariably say that one doesn't have enough room for backup...as if it is trying a new backup...... rather than just adding changed files. Why is it doing this and how do I remedy?

It then will invariably say that one doesn't have enough room for backup
Unfortunately, these kinds of things are common with Mavericks. All that you can do is erase the drive and start over again with a new backup. Or, if you do not want to erase the drive, set it aside in a safe place and add a new drive....and Mavericks will make a full backup to that one to start things off.

Can I use 2 external monitors with Satellite M70?

Is there any chance to connect to PC (M70-131) 2 outer monitors? Triyng to do this via video splitter I have only 2 monitor configuration mode, instead of 3 as it should be.

You own a VGA splitter. This device can only copy the SAME image on two monitors.
but,...
you want to have totally three (3) independent pictures produced by your notebook.
Yes, that's possible. You will only need to purchase an USB Video Adaptor for your notebook (or desktop).
They are not very expensive (around 100 Euro) and allow you to do amazing things with your applications.
Here is a link of such a device (This picture is meant as an EXAMPLE ONLY, it might not be the BEST device to buy for your requirements).

I can't unlock Xserve or Xraid with OSX Server Leopard

Or xraid no matter what I do. I didn't have this problem with Tiger and I now have it with leopard. I need to copy files onto the xraid and can't because it's locked. I've tried everything and nothing is taking. What could be happening?

I actually doubt it has anything to do with DNS, as the IP I mean begins with 192.168.1.....
That statement makes no sense to me.
Discussions of bad or misconfigured or unreachable DNS services are regular fodder here. If the translations inherent in most operations are slow or are failing, then the results will include missing services, slow access and timeouts ensue; this all looks like a bad network. Server Admin is sensitive to DNS, as well.
DNS translations go from host name to IP address, irrespective of the IP address block. And (for security and core services) from IP address to DNS host name; reverse DNS.
Mac OS X Server effectively requires functional DNS services, irrespective of the IP address block.
Unrelated to the discussion of DNS configurations, the 192.168.1.0/24 block is a poor choice for a network that may eventually be used with VPNs; that block tends to be used everywhere and subnet collisions will stuff up the IP routing inherent in VPNs.
And yes, do check your IP subnet block settings; make sure you're consistently in 192.168.1.0/24 on the stations connected across your LAN.
It'd be nice to see a future version of the tools run a DNS check on Server Admin (and probably Server Preferences) launch, given the frequency of reports of problems that turn out to be DNS configuration errors here, too.
I meant that the network the system is on doesn't have separate DNS servers as the router arranges the DNS data for the local network (xserve.local and emac.local), which can not be configured (not on the router I have then).
and, I'm not going to use VPN, only HTTP and FTP
(ok, also https and sftp...)
and both are in the same range.

Mounting external SharePoint with OSX Server

Hi,
I know that the default location for a mounted SharePoint is the /Volumes directory. Is there a way, some command line command, to mount a SharePoint at a different location, say, at root?
Would there be security implications for allowing the www user (Apache) dr-x access to a SharePoint mounted at root?
Thanks,
Ted

Thanks, Brent. I used the mount_afp command successfully to create a mounted SharePoint within the Webserver Documents directory.
But! When, using a browser, I try to access a webpage that's saved within the SharePoint's file system, one of the Xservers (web server or the other Xserve, an X Raid host) tells me that "I" (the www user) doesn't have "permission to access the file on this server."
We don't have Open Directory set up right now, so the www user is local to the Xserve that's the web server. Do I need to come up with a way to authenticate the web server's' "www user" on the X Raid host?
Thanks for your thoughts,
Ted
