How do i customize the "tile" on the first page of Wiki Server 4 on OS X Server?

How do i customize the "tile" on the first page of Wiki Server 4 on OS X Server?
The title says "OS X Server" and i want it to say something else... How can i do that?

Ok... i did some digging around... and struck gold.
The digging part is not for the "faint of heart" since the Terminal is your best friend and some coding knowledge is involved. Suffice to say my trip in Wiki Server 4 land led me through Ruby on Rails code. I was surprised to find that i'm able to read ruby code, and i don't know Ruby at all. After looking through Model Views and Controllers i figured out the solution was simpler than i anticipated.
To modify the title on the first page you need to edit a .strings file. You need to use the download version (not the mac app store app) of TextWrangler or some other editor that allows Authenticated Saves (save files as other users). Make sure the Wiki service is off... the slider in the server app is off.
The location of the file depends on your language locale that you use:
/Applications/Server.app/Contents/ServerRoot/usr/share/collabd/coreclient/locale s/en.lproj
where "en" can be either de, es, fr, it, ja, ko, nl, zh_CN, zh_TW depending on your wiki language.
First()you need to right click on the file and "Get Info" and adjust the permissions temporarily for "Everyone" to "Read and Write".
Open the file in TextWrangler and find the key general.os_x_server and under it you can modify the string "OS X Server" to anything you want "My own company Wiki".
Save()the file.
Second()you need to right click on the file and "Get Info" and adjust the permissions temporarily for "Everyone" back to just "Read".
Move()the slider in the Server App to On again for the wiki.
Enjoy!!!

How Do I Customize the Key Combination to Cycle Through Windows in Reverse in all Applications?

How do I customize the key combination to cycle through windows in reverse in all applications? I want to be able to change the global setting for Command+~ (Cmd+Shft+`) to something more desireable. I could NOT find a way to do this in Systems Preference -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts since there is not a menu selection "Cycle Through Windows in Reverse". I then went and looked in the plists DBs of Finders resources hoping to find a setting I could override. I was quite supprised, as well as some of the MAC gurus in the office, that there was not an easier way to override cycling through windows in reverse on a MacBook - the most user friendly and accessibility aware computer on the market:)
Here is my MAC software info.
System Version: Mac OS X 10.6.7 (10J869)
Kernel Version: Darwin 10.7.0

I don't know of any way to have a separate commandkey combo for the reverse cycle function.
From the Help pages for OS X 10.6.7 ("Using global keyboard shortcuts") -
NOTE: You can create keyboard shortcuts only for exisiting menu commands.
Since the 'reverse' cycle command is not an existing menu item, creating a separate key combo for it doesn't seem possible. Apparently the 'reverse' cycle command is a fixed one, internally defined as a mod of the normal cycle command invoked by adding Shift to its key combo.
There may be a way to achieve what you want via a two-step process: write an AppleScript that will invoke the 'reverse' key-combo set, then link the activation of the AppleScript to a key combo of your choosing. Not sure if this is even possible, though - usually AppleScript activation via keyboard would be set up via an FKey.
I can understand wanting to share the RSI risk evenly between both hands, or even to unload the left hand if that is desirable. However, apparently a two-key combo can't be done for the reverse cycle function. Is a three-key combo not possible? ...meaning a two-key combo on the right (Command plus something) for normal cycling, adding Shift for reversing?
One caution about changing keyboard command combos - it's very easy to accidentally set up a conflict with a another existing commandkey set. FWIW, most, if not all, of the mnemonic and easily-reached letters are already used. In this vein, the Keyboard Shortcuts page of the Keyboard prefs pane shows such conflicts via a yellow caution triangle next to the conflictors.

How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV?

How can I get the MAC address of my Apple TV? I currently do not have an HDMI device to connect it to, and the MAC is not listed on the box or the Apple TV itself.
(to answer the obvious, I am trying to pair it with an iPad, and I need to register the Apple TV for the network so the two can see each other)

As long as I know java doesn't have support to work on link-layer, only internet and transport layers. You may write simple native code. On windows, IP Helper functions, like SendARP allow you to pass an IP address and get the hardware address. You store the hardware address on your database/file and later, when that machine is off, you send a frame to the address you stored previous.

You can't change it in one step. Sign out of the one now on the Mac, sign onto the right one.

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

How do I download the Mac App Store using OS X 10.5.8

how do I download the Mac App Store using OS X 10.5.8

Well, you can cancel your Snow Leopard order if it hasn't already shipped. You need not wait on it as you can download Mountain Lion now that you have a redemption coupon (I assume that's what you meant by the email.)
After Mountain Lion is installed you can download a free copy of Mavericks. This all assumes that your computer meets the requirements for Mountain Lion.
Before you do any upgrade I strongly urge you to do this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard 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.
Personally, I would erase the hard drive then install the new OS X version. First, make a backup of your files from which you can later restore.

HT1544 how can I reinstall the Mac OS X from scratch?

I have an early 2008 iMac that came with Mac OS X 10.5 leopard. I have bought all os's since then, and Today I am using the most recent one, mountain lion. My question is, how can I reinstall the Mac OS X from scratch? Is there a quick way ? Or do I have to:
Find the leopard CDs that came with the iMac
And go through the cd installation.
Then, can I jump from leopard to mountain lion?

If your goal is to just reinstall Mountain Lion, you can restart the computer holding the Command and R keys, then choose the reinstall OS X option from the utilities choices presented to you.
That restarts the computer using the recovery hard drive that was created when you installed Mountain Lion...but note you must have an internet connection when you do this reinstall.

How do I customize the login page?

Hi, floks:
How do I customize the login page?
Can I just create a page with login portlet in it? what do I put as on Success URL,
if I choose to go to the home page?
thanks.
null

You can create a page and add a login portlet to it.Make it accesible to public.
change the default page of the user "public" to the page you have created.(by default it is WELCOME)
if there is an error in the user name or the password entered the portal still navigates to the default single-sign on page.(You have not changed the sign on page still)
To change this page look at on-line help.
search with string "customize" in online help

How do I copy the Mac OS Lion after upgrading?

How do I copy the Mac OS Lion after upgrading. I upgraded to OS Lion and now I want to do clean install because my macbook became slower since i installed lion.
Please, help! Thanks.

You need to get on a Snow Leopard system, log into the App Store with your Apple ID, then download the Lion installer. The re-download is free. After the installer is downloaded it will start automatically. Now, quit the installer. You can now make a copy of the installer that you will find in the Applications folder.
Now, you also may be able to get this to work: Open the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key while clicking on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. This is supposed to activate the Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. Clicking the Install button will then re-download the Lion installer.

Don't understand?
There is no "main" itunes.

Copy it from wherever it is now to wherever it is that you want it.
Perhpas if you explain, more help can be given.
