  • ICloud for pages app not working on network users having home folder on Mac Mini Lion server

    Does anyone know how to make iCloud for pages work on network users having home folder on server, having home folder on local Client iCloud for Pages works fine but when home folder is on Server iCloud for Pages app does not work. My Clients are Running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, my Server is a Mac Mini Lion Server.

    Hi Tim,
    No fix yet, my home folders reside on a thunderbolt external hard drive, I also tested having home folders on default server HD and no changes, I called Apple Support a while ago, they replicated the issue, it just does not work on network users, they did not say when will it be fix.
    The version of Pages I am using is from the Apple Store.

  • Mac OSX Lion Server Network User Login Issue

    We have in the office a server running Mac OSX Lion, and several network users who've all been running happily for quite a will.
    About a month ago I was added to the system, and initially we had a few issues relating to the home directory, but we changed 'something' and it all worked.
    Fast forward to now, and we've added a new user - Hannah - to our system.
    I've added her in the Workgroup Manager, and set her up everywhere I can find on the server. Her home directory creates on the server fine.
    She appears in the Logon list on the client machines, and here's where the trouble starts...
    Every time she tries to log on, it fails. The logon box just bounces or wobbles as though the password is incorrect. We've tried changing the password, to no avail. We've tried adding new test users - same problem.
    We've tried sudo kinet on the Terminal as a local user, with variable results.
    I'm at my wits end, and really hoping someone here can help offer some suggestions or advice we can work through to get to the bottom of this.
    Thanks in advance!

    Your problems are likely occurring because you added her to the directory with Workgroup Manager.
    You should really start avoiding WGM when at all possible as Apple is clearly moving away from it. Because of this, things don't always work as expected when using 'legacy' tools like WGM.
    My guess as to what your problem is: When you create a new user in Server.app, two things happen for you automatically that WILL NOT HAPPEN if done from WGM.
    First the user is added to the default "Workgroup" group.
    More importantly (and the source of much confusion), the user is automatically added to SACLs.
    Check the SACL for the user in Server.app, I bet you'll notice that they aren't a member of the File Sharing group like they should be. To solve this problem, you can either delete the user and recreate them in Server.app, or manually add them to the appropriate SACL.
    I would opt for recreating them in Server.app if I were you, as I don't trust user accounts that originate in WGM on Lion Server.

  • N00b needs help setting up MAC OSX Lion Server for email.

    I recently purchased a Mac Mini running OSX Lion Server and I really don't understand how to set it up as an email server (which was my main goal). Eventually I'd like to set it up to host just about everything else, but I can't seem to figure out how to set up my router and MX records to point to my server in order to host imap mail. I do have a static IP by the way but this N00b is confused... Please help!

    Funny you should ask, because I have been spending the day trying todo the same. I just need to know what to enter into my mx record in network solutions. I can send mail, but I can't receive it just yet. Any help would be great.

  • Run HTTP File Server on Mac OSX Lion Server?

    Hello!
    I have a Mac Mini running Mac OS X Lion Server.
    I would like to be able to host a Web Server that runs within the built in Apache server that allows the transfer of files from Client to Mac Mini HD and vice versa using authentication from Open Directory.
    My inspiration is HTTP File Server, or HFS (no, not the Disk Format). This, however, is a Windows Program. It allows a HTTP platform to upload and download files from the HD of the machine it is running from. It comes as a nifty .exe that has everything you need. I'd like something similar but to run on the Mac Server.
    Note, the upload and download cannot be done over FTP. It must be using HTTP like HFS does.
    At the very least, I'd like a HTTP (Port 80) Web Server that runs within Apache that allows upload and download to the HD.
    And at best, authentication using the built in Open Directory credentials. And to make even more secure, HTTPS or SSL.
    So it's like iCloud or iWork.com but using my own disk space and credentials.
    Predicted End Product:
    User visits https://192.168.x.x or https://MyDNSName.dns.com
    Greeted with Home Screen (.html or .php)
    Clicks login
    Has a nice login window to use (probably have to be .php to keep simple)
    Logs in using same credentials as they would to logon to Mac Mini locally
    Greeted with view of their files in their Directory, e.g.: /Library/Server/Web/HFS/User1 or /Library/Server/Web/HFS/User2, etc
    Can choose to download present files
    Or upload. Click Upload
    Upload window appears. Selects file on Client machine.
    Over HTTP, file is uploaded to Host Machine to /Library/Server/Web/HFS/User1
    What I'd like to know is what is the easiest way of going about this? Some kind of CMS like Wordpress or software like HFS?
    Many thanks,
    Clark

    I'm a little confused here... what's the requirement for HTTP based transfers vs. traditional file sharing protocols such as AFP?
    Secondly, how does 'HFS' differ from any other HTTP form-based uploader? Any web CGI or scripting system such as PHP or Perl could easily present an upload form.
    Have you considered WebDAV, which is designed as s file transfer protocol over HTTP?
    It integrates at the Finder level, meaning you can copy files by simply dragging and dropping file (and folder) icons in the desktop, just like on a local drive. It's part of the standard Mac OS X Apache installation, too.

  • How to connect to embedded POSTGRESQL on Mac OSX Lion Server

    Hi all,
    I've upgraded my Mac OSX 10.6 server to 10.7 server 2 days ago.
    My web sites databases are still under MySQL server cause it's still running after the upgrade.
    I manage to migrate the databases to PostgreSQL, so i've enabled the wiki from the server.app to launch the PostgreSQL server.
    I can see that it's now running through a ps -ef | grep sql and that it's listening on the unix domain socket 5432 with netstat -an | grep SQL in a terminal shell.
    The problem is that I'am unable to connect to it.
    I tried psql -U postgres, and installed the Navcat for postgreSQL Lite, but they failed to connec to the database server twith the same error :
    psql: could not connect to server : Permission Denied
    Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
    It seems that there is a permission problem on the Unix Domain Socket /var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432.
    It has a 0770 permission on it, but i don't know if it's relly the problem.
    I've compared with MySQL server, which I am able to manage through Navcat for MySQL Lite without any problem, and the socket permission are 0777 on /var/mysql/mysql.sock.
    Does somebody able to connect to the embedded PostgreSQL server ?
    Or am I doing something wrong ?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your replies.
    I was able to connect but not from navcat
    sudo -u _postgres psql template1 (or your database name)
    I am able to connect using this command too
    1. Need to add yourself or the account accessing the database to Postgres Users group (use admin tools)
    So I agree that I have to add my user to the _postgres user group, but how do you did ?
    Using the admin tools, I did not find this Postgres Users group ?
    I don't understand why server's administrators are not members of this group already ...
    2. Create a role on database login in as _posgres
    Ok, I will do.
    3. To login in navcat you need to check socket to /var/pgsql_socket
    OK, I've already set the socket in Navcat to /var/pgsql_socket
    4. I was unable to enable TCP connection yet
    I am unable to enable it too. I tried to modify the config files in /var/pgsql, without success.
    I have no firewall on my server too, it's protected by my router's firewall and NAT.
    Thanks again for your help.

For example, Word running both on OSx and on Windows will be able to work with the same document on the external drive.

  • Can't print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion

    Dear all,
    I would like to share my experience battling to figure out how to print to Windows 7 shared printer from Mac OS Lion. Myself had this problem and looking throughly in internet without success. But finally I figured out the solution by myself, hope this can help other Mac user with similar problem.
    OK, when I try to setup my new MacBook Pro with OS Lion to connect with my Canon MX308 printer attached to desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate,
    1. I simply select System Preferences>Print & Scan.
    2. Then looks for the + sign just below the box to add a new printer.
    3. From the option toolbar above, I select Windows. I have connect this MacBook with my Windows Network, so the workgroup will appear to the left column.
    4. After I select this group, the computer list will appear in the middle column
    5. Then after I select the computer which my printer connected to, my printer sharename will appear in the right column
    6. Last step is to select the printer I want to use.
    7. After that it will automatically put your printer sharename to the "Name". And then I select my printer driver at "Print Using" and find my printer manufacturer which is Canon MX300 series from driver lists. Finish!
    My printer appear in the Printers List. But the problem is everytime I try to print there will be error message saying "ON HOLD Authentication Required".
    This problem start to kill me, I search all around for similar problem, but the solution was never worked for me!
    Until just now I figured out accidentally for the solution.
    THE PROBLEM LIES ON MY PRINTER DRIVER!!!! Although I have downloaded the most update driver from Apple site and Apple Software update said there is no more update for my system!
    The solution for my problem is Gutenprint Printer Driver! You can download this driver at http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php, then select for the latest driver gutenprint-5.2.7.dmg. Install this driver!
    Then back to Print & Scan in System Preferences, then right click on Printers List box, then choose "Reset Printing System..." to clear the previous failed printers.
    After that, repeat the above step 2 - 7. Only for the last step I need to select the Printer Driver for my Canon MX308 for the driver name : "Canon PIXMA MX300 - CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7"
    Now I can sleep as a baby knowing that my printer make a friend with my new Macbook Pro! Hope this will help others!

    I have the same setup but with a Canon MX850.  This did not fix my problem.

  • Mac OSX Lion symlink to Windows 7 share is broken

    Hi all!
    I'd like someone to help me with the following issue:
    I have a Windows 7 Ultimate machine with some shared folders. In order to access theses folders, passwords are not requirede. So, when I try to access these folders putting the smb address in Finder, everything works fine. However, I need to use a symlink to XBMC recognize the folder Pictures in my share. So, I had to create a symlink to this folder in the smb share (also I configured it in a way that Mac OSX Lion automount the share when the session starts). I did it and for a while everything worked fine.
    But when I restart the computer, although the share is mounted, the symlink is broken. So when I click on it, it seems like an empty folder, instead of going to the share.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers!

    There are any number of "theme" applications out there for Windows (WindowBlinds comes to mind).  They let you control just about every aspect of the interface.  They do have options that allow you to have a similar dock to OS X as well as other settings to make your desktop look like a Mac.  If you are talking about actually installing OS X on a PC... that's a no-no.  When you say there are "tutorials" on YouTube, that implies that you're looking to do something more involved than using a simple tool to tweek the interface.  I just wanted to point out the difference.

  • How do I connect a pc to mac mini lion server?

    Have recently purchased a mac mini lion server and have had no problem connecting macs in a small office. However, I can't for the life of me figure out how to connect the 2 PC's in our office...
    I am not an IT person - doing this with complete ignorance!
    Any help much appreciated.
    PS. I have enabled SMB on server, but still can't see the server on PC networks

    Hi frustrated,
    (I know what you mean...)
    In any case, let me attempt to help you...
    First of all, on the Lion Server machine (let's say this machine is named MyLionServer), open the Server app, click on File Sharing, and add the mount point you want to share.  Let's call this mount point Drobo (just in case you have a Drobo attached to your Lion Server), but it could be any folder or disk attached to your Lion Server machine or on your local network.  Edit the mount point share (highlight Drobo and click on pencil icon), and add the users (click + button and add the usernames) you wish to access the Drobo share, and how they access it (read only, read/write, etc.).  Also make sure to check the "Share with Windows clients (SMB)" button.  Click done and wait for the Server app to restart all of the file sharing servers.
    Now for the Windows PC (I have just tested this myself on a PC running Windows XP Pro):
    Click the "start" buttom, click "My Network Places".  In the My Network Places panel, click on the "Add a network place" button.  This brings up the "Add Network Place Wizard", highlight the "Choose another network location" and click "Next>".  In the Internet or network address box, add the following: "\\MyLionServer\Drobo" (yes, I know the slashes are backwards from what you normally use in the MacOS - also, the name Windows wants may have only the first character capitalized, as in "\\Mylionserver\Drobo"), then click the "Next>" botton, then click the "Finish" button.  The first time you perform this for the first share on your Lion Server, a window opens and asks for a username and password.  Enter one of the usernames and passwords that you gave read/write access to in the File Sharing panel for the Drobo mount point on your Lion Server.  This brings up a \\Mylionserver\Drobo window on your PC that is mounted to your Lion Server's Drobo.
    Hope this helps,
    Switon
    P.S. As I said, I tried this out on my own PC as I was typing the instructions into this reply, and the above works for me.  But I did it on Windows XP Pro on a 6 year old PC laptop, and all machines and Windows OSes are different, so it will probably require you to do something slightly different from what I described above unless you just happen to be using Windows XP also.  Good luck.

  • My mac OSX lion is now very slow, any idea why?

    my mac OSX lion is now very slow, any idea why?

    Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
    If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
    Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
    Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Repair the Hard Drive - Lion/Mountain Lion
    Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
    Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
    I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
      1. Carbon Copy Cloner
      2. Data Backup
      3. Deja Vu
      4. SuperDuper!
      5. SyncTwoFolders
      6. Synk Pro
      7. Synk Standard
      8. Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    Additional Hints
    Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
    Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
    Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
    Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
    Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder.  Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu.  Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order.  If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar.  Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process.  See if that helps.  Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
    Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.
