How do I install Mavericks without invoking the OSX Server Plugin?

How do I perfrom a clean install of Mavericks from the Recovery Partition without it automatically installing, and then invoking or executing the OSX Server Plugin that ultimately results in rendering open directory operable as well as the server. I have ignored this continously, but the other day I went into the terminal and typed ARP -s that lists the shortname for the host of my MacBook Pro and it gave a totally different name than what I had given it in the wi-fi network interface under the WINS tab. More importantly, I do not want to install open directory nor the osx server plugin as it opens up more complexity than I want to deal with. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated. BTW, below are the steps I performed for installing Mavericks.
1. Powered on the MacBook Pro and then hit the Option key.
2. This took me into the Recovery Partition, whereby I went into the Disk Util and erased or formatted the hard-drive.
3. I then clicked out of the Disk Utility and went into the Recovery Mode by clicking on reinstall the current OS.
4. I went through all the prompts and the system downloaded a current version of Mavericks.
5. After completion, I turned on my Macbook Pro and went through the prompts to install Mavericks.
6. This is all I did, and I didn't download the OSX plugin nor invoke it in the new version of the Operating System.
I just assumed that it was a standalone version until I found the server for osx running with open directory invoked, the server invoked, along
with other components relative to a new standalone version.
Again, my question is simple: How can I reinstall Mavericks without it downloading and automatically
iinvoking the components as described above?

Hi. Because both Mavericks and Windows 8 are still new, they may not be free of error. Apple needs more time to perform more tests to ensure that these two different OS's will work properly without getting in conflicts. If it's posdible, I highly recommand you to downgrade back to Lion or Mountain Lion and install Windows 7 (if you have a copy of it). In my experience, all advises from Genius Bar members and computer articles confirm that Windows 7 will work on Macs with Lion OS. It should also work on Mountain Lion. Besides Boot Camp, you could try to virtualize Windows OS and its applications by using VirtualBox, CrossOver and other VMs. I already have an Oracle VirtualBox but I would like to try Boot Camp since it allows me to enjoy almost all Windows features that may be limited in VMs.

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb again?

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again? My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract. I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.

HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app"; see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

How do i install opensolaris without using the virtual box??

hi.
i am new to solaris
i am currently using a windows XP OS
i got down the opensolaris cd from SUN
how do i install opensolaris without using a virtual box ?

The OpenSolaris CD is a "Live CD". You can boot off of the CD, and either run the OpenSolaris operating system directly, or you can select the "Install" icon on the LiveCD desktop. You can find full instructions here: http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/IPS/getst1.html
Do you want to keep your Windows OS on the disk? If so, then you want to follow the instructions for partitioning your disk (unless you already have a spare partition).

How do I install two instances on the same Server and avoid a conflict?

Hi,
I have one Server and I want to install two instances of SQL Server on it.
1. Will be a default instance.
2. Will be a named instance.
The Server has an IP address of 192.168.0.10 and the default instance will be using port 1433.
I want them to share the same address, but be listening on different ports.
Do I,
1. Go into TCP/IP of the named instance and set the port numbers for all the IP's to a port number, e.g. 1976?
2. Delete the 0 from the dynamic ports sections?
3. Create an open port rule in the Windows Firewall to allow access to the Server?
Thanks

Hi,
Please see following Microsoft link

How do I install apps without the app store

This is an issue not to be taken lightly. I just upgraded to Mavericks. My two favorite amateur radio apps will not launch because they did not come from the App Store. There must be a way to make them work. Come on, let's have it. Ohh, the apps: DVTool for DStar Radio operation, and echomac for amateur radio repeater connection from a Mac. These are essential amateur radio applications used in emergency radio communications ... ARES.

Open the system menu via Alt+Space or click the Firefox icon on the title bar and see if you can resize that window.
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.

Install Mavericks without associating my Apple ID with a credit card

Hello,
I am changing to a new laptop and as part of that action I am thinking to up from OS X 10.6 to 10.9. I have an Apple developer account since long time, also a working Apple ID. However I have never used the App Store (and frankly don't intend to do it).
So I opened the App Store for the first time. I have to sign in to download Mavericks. If I use my existing Apple ID, it says that the account needs to be associated with App Store, and then proceeds to query my credit card information.
I have no intention to transmit my credit card information to the Apple / the App Store. I have read various conflicting posts on the net saying that there is a way to specify "None" as a payment type (others claim that this option doesn't exist or require that I create a new account).
On my screen I can only choose between VISA, MasterCard, American Express, ClickAndBuy, and Maestro.
How can I, as of 19 Feb 2014, download and install OS X 10.9 without providing credit card information to Apple?
Thank you,
h.h.

So there is no way to install Mavericks without creating a credit card based account with Apple?
What happens if I retrieve the installer from a colleague that already runs OS X 10.9? Is the download specifically associated with his identity?
Yes, and it is a violation of the license terms as well.

How i can install Mavericks on new HDD because my mac hdd broken

Please Help

It's going to be impossible to install Mavericks unless you have a working Mavericks-USB-installer or an "install OS X Mavericks.dmg" that YOU have downloaded from the App Store in the past.
You should use a Snow Leopard install DVD to install 10.6.8 Snow Leopard on your Mac. From there, you can use your "install OS X Mavericks.dmg" to install Mavericks. If you don't have that, you can download and install Yosemite from the Mac App Store instead.
If you don't have either a Snow Leopard install DVD or a custom made Mavericks-installer-USB, you should call Apple and buy a Snow Leopard install DVD from them. They're still for sale.
The other option is to use another, still functioning, Mac and connect the two using a firewire cable. Then you can use Target Disk Mode to install Mavericks or Yosemite on your Mac http://support.apple.com/nl-nl/ht1661

How can I install Mavericks a second time?

I tried installing mavericks and got the disk corrupted error. I found I couldn't fix it, so I tried installing again this time onto an attached hard drive. This sort of worked, and allowed me to run diagnostics on internal hard drive ( it's fine ). Now I want to install Mavericks again on the internal hard drive but when I boot from the internal drive ( again, it's fine ) Software Update ( App Store ) tells me that Mavericks is installed on my 10.8.5 OS computer and won't let me do anything to fix that.
What I want to do is update my internal drive and use that to boot from. It's not apparent how I can do that. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

The Mavericks installer should be located in your Applications folder. If it's not there anymore open App Store. Go to "Purchases" and click on the "Download" button next to Mavericks.
Disconnet the external drive. That's why you're getting the message that Mavericks is already installed.

How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 MacBook Pro?

How do I install Mavericks onto a new SSD HD in my late 2008 Macbook Pro, and then I hopefully can reinstall my data from my Time Machine backup?
I presume the SSD will need some type of formatting, before I can install Mavericks from the internet? Then can I use my Time Machine backup to reinstall all my other software and settings?

In order to load Mavericks the SSD will have to be formatted Mac OS Extended with GUID partition mapping

I just tried it between a Power Mac G5 and a PowerBook G3 (Pismo) and it worked. The G5 was Mac in Firewire Target Disk Mode. I started the G5 with the T with no DVD in the drive. I started up the G3, and the G5's hard drive appeared on the G3's desktop. I pushed the eject key (on the G5 keyboard) and the SuperDrive opened. I put in a DVD (the Tiger installation disk) and closed the SuperDrive. The DVD appeared on the G3's desktop. I restarted the G3 with the Option key held down, and the DVD in the G5 appeared as a valid startup choice."
