can anyone shed some light on how to do this i am currently using the server as a file storage system but feel it can deliver far more; ideally i would like the following;
email to push to all devices once sent form one device all devices have a copy of the sent item
accounting software that is shared on the server
access the files and directories securely form anywhere
create and host an intranet site
any ideas of how to setup easily or step by step guides
help would be greatly appreciated

rdStart by getting DNS properly configured. If DNS isn't properly configured, most other services won't work right.

Mac mini (Server) 2010 - 2nd HDD not visible
I have a Mac mini (Server) running Mavericks Server. The second HDD is visible on Disk Utility and About\MoreInfo\Storage, but is not visible on the finder or desktop (the preferences are set correctly).
I can see the ammoutn of files/folders in the drive via Disk Utility. Other users in the network can see the drive. I can verify the disk, but I cant seem to verify perfmision. Its grayed out.
If I try to unmount/mount the drive via Disk Utility it fails.
Any idea?Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
ls -@Oaen /V* | open -ef
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context. -
Can access mail on home IMAP server from work, but not at home
At home I have an Xserve running Snow Leopard Server with IMAP service enabled. This runs all my personal email. Even Gmail and iCloud accounts have their incoming mail forwarded to that server, because I prefer to house my own data. I have dynamic DNS with an MX record. The Xserve also runs DNS and resolves "imap.myip.net" to the internal IP address of the Xserve, and, when I am and work, "imap.myip.net," through the dynamic DNS service, resolves to the outside IP address I have through my ISP. My router forwards external requests on Port 993 to the Xserve internally.
Until recently, I could move my MacBook Pro between home and work and access my email without problems in either place. It appears that since the 10.8.2 update, I can no longer access my email from home, where I am on the same subnet as my IMAP server. When at home, Mail accesses external email servers (Gmail and my work account) without problems. For the accounts on my home IMAP server, the Mail Connection Doctor states that the IMAP server could not be contacted.
However, I can clearly ping it from my MacBook Pro, which means that it is reachable and that my internal DNS is working.
I just fired up my work VPN, and, sure enough, messages that Mail hadn't been able to collect are trondling into my Inbox. In other words, when making Mail access my mail server through the Internet there is no problem.
Even before the Mountain Lion update I found that I had to relaunch Mail when I returned home from work, or Mail couldn't connect to the mail server. It seemed like Mail cached the resolved IP address it had gotten at work, which is the external IP address of my home network, and failed to re-resolved the address of the IMAP server once I woke up the computer, after getting back home. Quitting Mail and relaunching it did resolve that, but it was annoying.
I have never worked with Little Snitch, but it might provide some answers as to what Mail is attempting to do, when it is failing to access the server. Do any of you agree or recognize this issue and have a solution?It looks like a simple reboot fixed the problem.
Mac OS X is, by and large, so stable that I don't even consider rebooting as a troubleshooting step. There have been a number of application glitch that required a quit and re-launch to fix them, but that didn't do the trick with Mail. Very possibly reconfiguring everything from scratch had something to do with the fix, but in a way that required it to be combined with a reboot. -
Mac Mini will read from but not write to external CD/DVD drive
My new Mac Mini won't write CDs or DVDs to my LaCie DVDRW external drive, either in iTunes or through the finder. The computer appears to be writing the disc and then there's an error message right at the end of the process that says it can't access the drive (error code 0x80020020). In reading the help materials, I came across something that said iTunes would only write to an internal drive or a Mac superdrive. That's really no help to me since the Mini did not come with an internal drive. Surely Apple can't be saying I have to go out an buy a new drive for this machine. Has anyone else had this problem?
You did not answer the question of whether or not the drive works when connected to another Mac or a PC? This is a critical question.

I currently have two macs. A 2008 macbook which is running Snow Leopard, can run Lion, and cannot run Mountain Lion. I also have a mac mini which came with Lion pre-installed. I plan on upgrading my mini to Mountain Lion when it's available. After I upgrade, it seems like I should be able to install Lion on my macbook using the license that came with my mini.
I have found many articles about making a DVD or bootable USB drive to recover, or install Lion onto other macs. So, I am not tied to the mac app store. And I am not worried about how to install Lion onto the macbook.
I have also read a few discussions about upgrading using pre-installed Lion license. From what I've read, if someone buys Lion through the app store, they can install it on all of their macs. But, if they have a machine the came with Lion pre-installed they can only use Lion on one machine. However it is unclear if that license can be transferred to another machine.
Another common answer that I have seen is, "Don't be cheap! Just buy Lion throught the app store." This is not about money, I'm interested in the technical challange, and the leagal question.
Does anyone have experience with this, or opinions?If your machine came with Lion preinstalled, you cannot use it on another machine. It is tied to the machine it came with. You are allowed to make a one time transfer of the OS when you sell the machine as long as it remains with that machine.
If you purchase Lion from the app store, you are free to install it on as many Macs as you own - however, if/when you sell one of those Macs, you are required to uninstall Lion as the license is not transferable and you need to reinstall the original OS.
You can read the SLA for yourself - the link to the downloads to all licenses is here:

My husband has upgraded ios7. His iphone and mine have the same apple id. he has activated "icloud" which i have never activated before. He is receiving my imessages and facetime calls. How do i disable this yet still continue using our shared apple id on both devices????
thanksShort term solution, do this on both devices
Settings > iCloud > Shut off anything you don't want shared
Long term solution (actual solution)
You need seperate Apple IDs for iCloud. iTunes and iCloud are not the same.
Create a new Apple ID > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
On one of the devices go Settings > iCloud > Delete Account > Sign in with the new Apple ID
This will seperate your Contacts, Calendars, Messages etc.
You both can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes and share apps and music -
Mac Mini (server) 2011 not accepting 4 GB
My Mac Mini Server (mid 2011) does not accept 4 GB of memory. It does boot succesfully with a 2 GB SODIMM in slot 0 or in slot 1, but when I insert 2 2GB SODIMMs in both slots, it does not boot. It does give the start up beep and then after a few secs it 'restarts' or so and beeps again. It repeats so continuously.
When I insert a 4 GB SODIMM in either of the slots, the issue is exactly the same.
I've been trying several things regarding memory placement. 2 GB in slot 0 and 4 GB in slot 1. 4 GB in slot 0 and 2 GB slot 1, 2x 2 GB in slot 0 and 1. All the same result.
Only once, it somehow did start with a 2 GB and a 4 GB SODIMM installed and then OS X did report 6 GB in total, so somewhere both slots do work. However, on next day (after power down) the same issue of continuous beeps reoccured.
I inspected both memory slots but could not see any dirt or mishap. I cleaned both slots with cleaning alchohol. I even "sanded" the contacts with a narrow piece of paper, folded to proper thickness. I've given the Mac a PRAM reset, an SMC reset. All to no avail.
Any idea what this can be caused by?
BTW, I do not know whether it is related: I also noticed that the 2 leftmost USB ports (seen from front) do not detect a keyboard when inserted in those. When the keyboard is inserted in one of the 2 rightmost ports, the kb is detected without problems.Kingston says it should work

Based on what you did and problem with UBS ports I suspect either a slot problem or a problem on the logic board.

Mac Mini Server will not go into recovery?
I've just bought a Mac Mini Server 2012 model, and when I try and boot to recovery or safe mode, the boot hangs, then the machine restarts with the 'Your computer restarted because of a problem' message. The machine boots to normal mode fine, and can also boot to startup manager, which shows a recovery partition. I've tried resetting the NVRAM, as well as booting straight from Apple's servers. Both have not helped. The previous owner said he reinstalled OSX from recovery before he gave it to me, which leads me to believe it could be something other than a faulty drive. In addition, Disk Utility has not thrown up anything. If anyone could shed some light on this at all it would be very much appreciated as I'm starting to get a little bit annoyed!
Thanks.The first thing you should do after acquiring a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. How you do that depends on the model. Look it up on this page to see what version was originally installed.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc, which you can get from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller — not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. I suggest you install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the gray installation discs that came with it. If you don't have the discs, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To boot from an optical disc, insert it, then reboot and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, it should boot into Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
Once booted from the disc or in Internet Recovery, launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive — not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive, which is what you should do.
After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. When the installation is done, the system will automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
You should then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. If you want to upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, buy it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the previous owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed — you have to repurchase them.
If the previous owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Apple customer service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able toauthorize it under your ID. In that case, contact iTunes Support. -
Mac mini server refuses to get DHCP address from router
Everything was going along fine. But after a power outage the server goes to a 169. address when the router puts out 198. addresses. If I put a static 198. address in it sees the network but won't connect to the internet. I've flashed the router (everything else sees the router fine, 3 computers and a time capsule). I've had the hardware checked at the Apple store - it picked up an address right away. After narrowing everything down the problem has to be in the operating system. I even did a full time machine restore to the day before the storm. No luck. Anyone heard of this problem.
Mauricette has a point.
A server function is not designed to accept a floating or dynamic IP address. If that is the case, how do you create firewall rules that prevent those unnnecessary ports being left opened from being attacked by rogue machines in Romania and China on a hourly basis when you announce to the world that your server is available if the server IP address keep changing due to the DHCP lease change? Yes, they do have bots that do this VERY EFFICIENTLY!
By changing the very nature of your firewall rules by working with DHCP, you are opening ports you do not know to accommodate DHCP dynamic addressing, which was the reason why your Mac Mini Server stopped working in the first place. It's ok for a client, since a client isn't serving any files to any one right.
By using client based firewall rules, you are exposing your server to attacks and when they get through your Mini server, which they can if they are persistent, they get into your home network and then whatever file server services you have opened and unprotected at the time WILL BE copied by these people easily.
I have a client once who did just that. She was attacked, the hacker went through her network like a rampaging bull. They were from China. My Synology RAID server gets this attack all the time, but I have a well establish IDS system and the Synology RAID has logs that tracks attacks.
For a server setup. Use static IP and then build a strong firewall around it and protect it and never compromise.
Recently, I just noticed someone somehow hacked and broke my WPA-PSK AES passkey for one of my Wireless N network router. It was not set up with a strong password though, but thankgod I had a firewall around that so my internal networks were safe. So this teaches you that if someone wants in bad, they will get in.
Hope this helps. -
Event Photography & Mac Mini (Server)
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to accomplish the following with the Mac Mini Server?
I photograph sporting events & for the few times where I have to shoot on spec, I need a system whereby I can take the photos & load them onto a computer, do a couple of quick edits (mostly cropping) and then get the photos in front of the client.
With the dual hard drives on the Mac Mini Server, could I load my originals on one drive and then export the smaller file/cropped photos to the second hard drive where clients can view them from either iPads (tethered to the table!) or from other computers?
I'd like to place some viewing software on the second drive and sort the folders based on team & time of game (ie team a vs team b @9am) as this will make it easier for parents to find the photos. Parents find the folder & open the pics ... still not sure what software will work best but I'll figure that out later
OR .... can I accomplish the same thing with a MBP and place the software/photos into a public/share folder and have parents access the photos on their viewing stations?
I'd rather not go the PC and the wireless 3G option might be the most convenient option as I could load all the photos directly to my website and have the galleries ready for parents ... however upload times are about 5mb/sec and when I have hundreds of photos to upload ... well, the data plan is pretty much shot. As a result, I'm looking for more of a wi-fi or hardwired solution.
Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me ... I just don't have much experience in this area & could really use some help.
Thanks for your time.
Take care,
BrentThe speed difference from using the drives in that manner would not be that huge. I would prefer that you mirror the drives, so that you have another source of redundancy for those pictures you just shot, that have not yet been archived. This will help protect these valuable pictures before you get back to your studio.
I would create a web gallery of the pictures in question and put them in a folder on your the Mini that you setup to be accessible via web sharing.
Use a wireless router at these events, to setup a wireless network just for your exhibit purposes. Keep the network unlocked to make it easy for your clients to connect. Name the network "Photos Only" so that it's clear to people that the network does not provide internet access.
Then give the clients the IP address of your Mac, which they will enter into their mobile browser. (IP address found in network control panel) -
Mac mini server, Snow Leopard, Linksys E4200, 802.11n
Hi,
I have mac mini server and wifi router linksys e4200.
Something goes wrong after software update on mac mini. For clarify I updated a firmware on E4200 too but I think that is not a problem.
Now I can't get full speed from 802.11n mode.
My download speed extemely decreases from 160Mbit(always before update) to 27Mbit
My router supports 3 modes of 802.11n
1. Mixed
2. Only Wireless-A
3. Only Wireless-N
It always was in mixed mode on 802.11n befare. That's mean it supports b/g/a/n
I switched it to 'Wireless-N' and can't get it work. My mac mini shows me the wifi network but it can't connect to that network.
Then I turned my router in Wireless-A. Now I can connect to wifi network but my download speed always no more 27Mbit
Also these results I see in Mixed mode.
As I understand my N mode does not work.
Another strange thing the System profiler shows me that my AirPort does not suppor N mode.
How to fix it?

Using a Mac Mini Server as a traditional stand alone desktop
Hello all, currently I have a late 2008 model 17" MacBook pro, Time Capsule, Apple TV and an Iphone 3GS and Ipod Traditional. I would like to add a desktop system to coordinate all of these items, to be the centerpiece is you will, in my home. I'm interested in buying a mac mini, I began to do research however and saw the Mac Mini Server which has greater memory capacity 4GB vs 2GB RAM, and dual 500Gb vs the standard Mac Mini which has one at 320GB. I would like to take advantage of these upgrades as I'm a writer and will be constantly on the web for work as well as likely keep a lot of items on the hard drive.
However I noticed the Mac Mini server utilizes Mac OSX snow leopard SERVER as opposed to the user grade Mac OSX. *My question is if the Mac Mini Server with MAC OSX server can still be used as a stand alone desktop, connecting it to a spare LCD television I have and a mac wireless keyboard/mouse?*
I'm aware that unlike the other mac mini and imacs it does not come with ilife and other pre-installed software, and *I want to know if it's still possible to purchase after market and install said software utilizing them in the traditional manor?*
Thank you in advance for any feedback you can provide and I apologize if my question was difficult to comprehend due to my lack of computer knowledge. I also apologize if this question is similar to others you've received lately as I did a quick scan of google and these forums and did not seem to find the specific answer I was looking for.Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Let me clear up a misperception that you have. Both the Mac mini and the Mac mini Server have a capacity to address 8 GB of RAM. There are two SO-DIMM slots in each model. The mac mini comes preconfigured by Apple with 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB). The mini Server comes preconfigured with 4 GB of RAM (2 x 2 GB). You can buy and install yourself up to 8 GB of RAM (2 x 4 GB).
You can even install Mac OS X Snow Leopard client, which will meet your needs a bit better than Server, now that folks have figured out how to do it;
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2539663&tstart=0
And yes you can buy and install iLife, and pretty much everything else that you want to include in your kit. Either model of mini works fine with wireless keyboards and mouses. If your LCD TV has an HDMI port, then a simple HDMI to HDMI cable would be the simplest manner to connect it to the mini.
