You need XCode 4.1 for use with Lion. It is a free download from the Lion App Store. You can login to the App Store on your Lion Server and 'purchase' it.

  • Install Xcode on Mac OS X 10.7.2

    Hi Everyone,
    I have bought a Mac mini with  Mac OS X 10.7.2. I am trying to install Xcode 4.2.1 on it through App store but the process stops as soon as it started with a message: "The Application cannot be downloaded The application you tried to download could not be downloaded. Check your internet connection and try again."
    It's happening since saturday, so it's not a temporary problem as i initially thought.
    Please help me with this.
    Thanks in Advance.

    OK, I'm running out of ideas. I've got two left!
    1. Be careful with this. In the 'Debug' menu again, click on
    Show Download folder...*
    Click 'command-i' on your keyboard to open the 'Get Info' window. Look at the permissions at the bottom. They should be 'read & write' for your computer, and 'read' and 'read' for the other two. If the first one is 'read' only, that would stop any downloads. If so, change it (post back here for instructions if you don't know how to do that).
    I wouldn't recommend messing with anything else in the Downloads folder, as I'm not sure what it might do, so if the permissions are OK just exit.
    The second option's not very satisfying I'm afraid, but short of someone else joining in with any better ideas, go
    2. Contact App Store support
    http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/applications/
    (*Note: this is the App store download folder, not your ordinary dowload folder. You can only get to it through the debug menu.)

    Yes, you need Lion to install the latest xcode 4.x.
    You can install xcode 3.x on Snow Leopard.

  • Re-installing Lion on Mac Mini Server

    Hi All,
    I just got a brand new i7 Mac Mini 2011 server with 2 hard drives. I don't actually want Mac OS X Server, I just want the regular version of Lion. But the computer came with no install media. I have the Lion USB key but it does not boot the mini. I even tried to boot it with an external USB drive running Lion 10.7.1 but that didn't work either. How can I wipe the computer and just install Lion (not server)?

    Don't wipe your mini or you have to bring it to an authorized service center!

  • Impossible to do a clean install in new mac mini server! Or is it?

    Hi all, well totally frustrated but smiling here... I just unboxed two mac mini servers mid 2011s, and got part way setting them both up, up to gettting Open Directory Master and Replica to work. But then one machine started acting flakey so I did a permissions check and there was a bunch of stuff fixed. However, that box then refused to boot. So I did the reasonable thing:
    1) booted to recovery partiion to start over - and while there tried to change the crazy outofbox configuration of two 500gb drives into something more managagble -  I wanted case-senseitive on a partition to run webservers. But DU would not let me do anything with the drive.
    2) Okay, I just booted up on a lion clone I had, and ran DU from another recovery partition. Adjusted the drives the way I wanted them... fine.
    3) Rebooted into recovery partition, this time to do a clean install and I was greeted with this:
    The install finally died, and after trying again, I get some error about identification information and to call applecare. ha! I live in village in Nepal, and that's not gunna happen easily.
    4. So, I take a clone of the other server and clone back to the broken one and try to rid the server of any remenants of the cloned one, but I am thinking this is not going to fly. For example, I can't get Open Directory to work anymore...and that's probally just the tip of the iceberg... I need a clean install - BUT HOW?
    This crazy new apple fulfillment system is getting me down....
    thx!

    I had a similar problem, and my solution probably isn't going to help you now. I imaged one of the machines straight out of the box with disc utility and a Firewire 800 cable. I then copied that image onto the second drive of the machine so I could always do I clean install and I needed it quite often.
    My only suggestion is either to wait the week for the thing to download, image that  or see if your supplier can image a server for you and you can then restore from that.
    Sorry can't be of more help

  • Is it possible to install Lion client on to a Mac mini server?

    After seeing benchmark tests on the new Mac mini, the Mac mini server with the i7 processor is obviously much faster. But would there be any issue prohibiting the Lion client from installing on the Mac mini server instead of Lion server?

    I'm afraid it's not possible. Or at least not easily. I've spent the last few days trying to do exactly that, as Lion Server doesn't seem to be able to sleep automatically unlike the client. I've followed all the Apple advice on how to 'remove' the Server components, but it's clear looking at a process list that there's still a huge amount of server stuff still there.
    If you try to install a retail copy of Lion on the new hardware including 2011 Mini, it will refuse to boot from it - this is a deliberate and in my book completely unnecessary and unreasonable restriction by Apple.
    And if you try to re-install Lion using Apple's internet recovery it gives you no choice which you get - it uses your machine details to decide unilaterally that it will reinstall Lion Server as that's what came with the machine.
    The only final thing that MIGHT work - and I haven't tried yet - is to find a mate with a new 2011 Mini or Air, use that to do an internet recovery clean install to an external disk drive, then clone that clean install onto the Mini server. If that works, great, but why oh why did an otherwise excellent company like Apple make this so much harder than it was on ANY of their older hardware? It makes no sense at all. Someone should be fired for this nonsense.

  • Mac mini Server with normal Lion install?

    Can i install on the Mac Mini Server (Mid 2011) a normal Lion OSX?
    I don't want to use Server features, i only need the hardware power.
    Is the Server pre-installed?

    The 'proper' way is to have the Mac Mini Server running the version of OSX that's written for it, the hardware IS different hence there's (subtle yet real) differences to the software installed on each. I can't confirm if it would Boot from an external drive with the normal 10.7 softwarre as I've never tried that ...
    If you don't need the Server applications then run Server, turn the services off and uncheck:

  • Installing Mac OSX Server hangs at Network Configuration

    I tried to connect with Server Admin tool: OK works.
    The network is up and running, but the assistant is not continuing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for any help or suggestion

    Smells vaguely of a DNS error or IP routing or a network connectivity problem.
    What did you specify for your network settings, and particularly what was entered for the DNS server address? If you're not running DNS on your local network here, then enter no DNS servers as part of the prompting, and let Mac OS X Server establish its own default single-host DNS.
    (You're not going to be able to use your ISP DNS here; those ISP DNS servers are not valid when you are establishing a server on a network behind a NAT gateway.)
    I'd probably wipe the disk and boot from DVD and reload.

  • Mac mini server 2011 with regular lion - lion freezes all the time!

    I have installed a regular OSX lion 10.7.3 on my brand new mac mini server 2011.
    I called support today they told me it would not be possible but with a bootable USB im just able to install a regular OSX lion since I dont like the server features and bought the machine for development ( coding ).
    When doing an internet recovery OSX lion server will be installed. This is higly unwanted but I guess the installer checks the hardware and installs the server version since that would be the "correct" version.
    Now it keeps locking up everytime, even after a time machine backup I did and hoped that clean install would have fix this,
    problem still persist.
    When it lockups and I reboot on login screen I can:
    only move the mouse up and down
    when I type 1 keystroke on keyboard the password field is filled with multiple charachters dotted out because of the password field
    3 questions
    Is running a reguler lion ( not server version ) on a mac mini 2011 really not supported causing my issues? It feels like unlogic since the regular lion installer installed just fine, it should have given a warning that its not possible to install on my mac mini server therefore I see this as a "ok" it can be installed without problems?
    Anyone has regular osx lion on mac mini server without any problems?
    Is there anything I can do to determine the cause of the freezes? The console does not mention anything
    This is higly frustrated, I dont dare to fully spend some hours to restore the system to a workable state for me ( install apps, coding enviroment, xcode etc) since it feels unstable and i dont want to spend time and have to do everything over again :S

    1.  Go to System Preferences.
    2.  Select Engery Saver
    3.  Slide the setting for Computer sleep to never.
    4.  Slide the setting for Display sleep to never (though I believe the display should be able to sleep without much issue.
    5.  Make sure the following are not selected:
    a.  Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible.
    b.  Allow power button to put the computer to sleep.
    6.  Make sure the following are selected:
    a.  Wake for network access
    b.  Start up automatically after a power failure
    c.  Restart automatically if the computer freezes.
    Good luck!

  • Slow Ethernet on Mac mini server

    Set up:
    Mac Mini Server - Mid 2011 - i7 Quad 2GHz - 8GB RAM - OSX 10.7.3
    13" MacBook Pro - Mid 2009 - Core 2 Duo 2.53GHz - 8GB RAM - OSX 10.7.3
    Both wired in to Virgin SuperHub Switch/Router and physically next to each other
    Hi All,
    Bit of a strange one this but I recently upgraded my cable connection to 100MB line from 50MB. As everyone does, the first thing I did was to test my new toy on speedtest.net. I was overjoyed to see my MBP fly directly up to 104Mbps dl speed. However, my Mac Mini Server peaked out at somewhere around the 60Mbps range. At first I thought it was flakey network connection and so duley tested at random intervals during the day, one device after another but always with the same (or similar) result. As stated above the kit is physically next to one another and both on Ethernet. I have also tried swapping over LAN cables, difference ports and new cables all together but no change. Next I tried to change the MTU settings on my Mac Mini Server but again no improvement (plus the MBP is still on the standard Auto config 1000BaseT Full-duplex with a standard Ethernet MTU of 1500.
    The hardware spec states that they have slightly difference NIC's installed but the MAC Mini Server is the newer of the two and all software is up to date. Any idea's pls?

    Hi BD, thanks for responding again.
    I've disabled TM while I test and I dont think Spot light is doing anything. I've also run the test now tens of time at all times of the day.
    RE console, i've looked and nothing jumps out (although im no expert there)
    Re connection priority, yes top of the list, infact diabled everything else while I test also.
    One other point, the Mac Mini Server does have the server addition of Lion OSX, sorry i didnt make this clear earlier. I normally only run the TM, Web, Profie Manager and Files sharing servivces - no are them are under much load at the moment although, again, I even disabled all of these while I test and no change to the result.

  • Installing Xcode on MacBook Pro

    Hello all,
    I am saving up some money to buy the MacBook Pro and I was wondering what to look for when installing Xcode on Tiger. Is it running the installer from the DVD-ROM that comes with it or is there a .pkg file that I click on?
    Any info would be helpful
    Thanks,
    Netdude21

    There should be a folder on the Tiger DVD called Xcode Tools. That folder contains the .pkg file to install Xcode.

  • Wireless MAC authentication server

    Currently I am doing MAC auth in the AP but since the number of clients are increasing I would like to install a central MAC auth server. What choices I have OR is Cisco ACS the only option?

    I'm looking for the same thing... I want to deploy a bunch of new Cisco AiroNet APs, but also have a considerable investment in Lucent/Agere/Wavelan AP-1000s that do RADIUS lookups for MAC addresses. I don't care about WEP key management... I just want to be able to use the same database (even if that means making a different view to format the MAC differently -- the wavelan wants it in xxxxxx-xxxxxx format) to authenticate MAC addresses from... Gave a quick look over documentation, but everything seems to be pushing towards the higher-level encryption/authentication stuff... Anyone out there done what I'm talking about?

  • Transferring OS X Server From Mac Mini Server To Mac Pro

    Hi,
    A few months ago, I bought a Mac Mini Server for my business. We've now got a Mac Pro that we'd love to install OS X Server onto, and then install Snow Leopard onto the Mac Mini Server (thus making it, in effect, an optical drive-less Mac Mini) for a few reasons I won't go into here.
    I thought it might be as simple as to put the OS X Server disc into the Mac Pro, install and then migrate the settings across, and then format the Mac Mini Server and install Snow Leopard. But when I put the CD into the Mac Pro, I got a message saying that OS X Couldn't Be Installed On This Computer.
    Is the OS X Server disc that comes with the Mac Mini Server tied to the Mac Mini itself? Can it not be transferred? Even if we retain ownership of both machines, and have a valid license for Snow Leopard to be installed onto the Mac Mini Server? Or is this error message relating to something else?
    Thanks in advance,
    phil

    Try to put the MacPro in FireWire target disk mode and install the OS, or take the disk out and using an enclosure install. Do not clone, it will probably fail due to hardware differences. Try new installation not being plugged in the same network as the mini, setup DNS and transfer OD archive and other settings from the mini.

  • Error installing Xcode

    Hello Everybody,
    I am trying to install Xcode on Mac OS X but it says "The installation could not install the software because there was no software found to install".
    Any idea on how to fix this?

    Which XCode? Where from? Which OS X? There are nine variants: 10.5.0-10.5.8. Which machine? Peruse the developer forums under OS X Technologies for Xcode queries.

  • Installing Snow Leopard on Mac Mini Server

    I recently purchased a 1Tb 4Gb Mac Mini Server, running Snow Leopard Server. I want to use it as a central repository for my other macs: storing music, movies, backup, screen sharing (it's hooked up to my 32-inch TV) but I also want to be able to run Logic Pro, Ableton Live, etc. I also have a Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard Client, which contains all of my programs, plugins, data, etc. I realize that Snow Leopard Server does not have migration assistant, so I have tried to install a retail copy of Snow Leopard onto the secondary drive, but when it gets to the restart stage it crashes every time. I think this is a firmware issue, because the Mac Mini has a different hardware configuration to other macs. I do not have access to the mid-2010 Snow Leopard Client for Mac Mini which would allow me to install Client and use migration assistant from there. What I would like to know is:
    1/ Can I manually migrate my plugins/settings/programs to the server? If so, how? What is most crucial (and what I don't understand) is copying my audio units and audio programs (e.g. Logic Pro, Pro Tools). Because of the firmware issue, it seems more difficult than cloning my MacBook Pro to a time machine HDD and running from there... I would really like to purely clone my MacBook Pro, because I am very happy with the way it is set up.
    2/ Should I just wait for OSX Lion (July/August) which seems to be a combined server/client os, install that on both machines and run migration assistant from there?
    3/ Is there another method I can use? Something I am overlooking?
    Thanks in Advance.

    Thanks for your reply. I talked to the Apple Support again and they told me the server edition could only be used on that OS and if I wanted to use it as something else I could chose not to use the server applications, or buy a regular Mac mini. And that was all they said. Interesting since it was one of their sales persons who told me I could install Snow Leopard.
    Anyway, I got hold of a client disc and it all worked like a charm.
