Problems with Halo Combat Evolved on mac mini server with HD3000 graphics

There is frequent flickering of certain elements in the game (ie. background) and certain elements such as weapons are not rendered at all. This happens sporatically and not in a predictable manner. Does any body have any idea what is going on? I read that there are some issues with the HD3000 card on mac minis. I hope I did not make a purchase that I will regret.

If I understand your question correctly, is there a reason you've replaced the integrated MySQL within Mac OS X Server with a second MySQL database implementation? (That's almost inherently going to get tangled; you'll need to shut off the default implementation.)
Or is this a Perl module you've loaded and that is now tipping over? If you haven't replaced MySQL here, then have you started MySQL and run some tests with the database itself? This to make sure MySQL is operational, and that the problem you're working on is in the Perl pieces and not in the MySQL layer?

  • How to use webmail address book on Mac Mini Server with Lion Server.

    I have a Mac Mini Server with Lion Server installed; the webmail is setup and working but I can not get the address book to work.
    I have followed an instruction from this website on how to activate the address book icon in webmail but can not add any addresses.  Is there something that needs to be activatied before it will work?

    No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini. About 8 months ago I basically wore out the power switch on my monitor so I bought a wireless power switch to shut it off at the outlet. The VX2835wm monitor itself is now starting to fail as well-- a couple of times it's gone through a weird sequence of flashing screen colors on power up and ended up in an overscan mode (that took me for ever to figure out how to fix). I have decided to replace my VX2835wm with a Dell u2412m once it fails for good partly because I really want to keep the 16:10 resolution (very hard to find these days) and partly because I want to see if a different make of monitor will go to sleep properly based upon my Mac Mini power down settings.

  • I just purchased the Mac Mini Server with the intention of replacing Lion Server with Lion for the first hard drive while installing Windows 7 thru Bootcamp on the second hard drive. Is it possible for me to do this? Thanks.

    I would use Parallels or VMWare and use the second drive to hold the virtual machine. That way the VM only uses the space that it needs and you can still use the remainder of the drive for other things, not to mention that you would not need to reboot to run windows.
    Also Time Machine does not back up a boot camp partition.

  • Mac Mini Server with Raid 1

    Hi,
    Is it possible to set up a Mac Mini Server with Raid 1 using only another mac computer such as a mac book?

    Yes- Colin Jeukens posted step by step instructions back a couple of months ago. Here it is again...
    Out of the box the mini comes without Raid. You have two identical HDs of 500Gb.
    I have just set it up as Raid1. You can't do this when you use the startup disk from the mini. And as you don't have a Superdrive ... you need to be creative. You need another Mac with Firewire.
    Step 1: Start the Mini in Target Mode. Press the T during start. In a few seconds the firewire logo will appear on your screen.
    Step 2: Go to your second Mac. Connect the firewire cable between second Mac and Mini.
    Step 3: On the second Mac start the disc utility. The two identical drives on your mini will show. Create a new Raid set (mirrored = Raid 1). Include both drives. Confirm the warning that all data on the mini will be lost.
    Step 4: Make sure your second Mac has CD/ DVD sharing option installed. This is tou use the superdrive to install OS X Server on the mini.
    Step 5: Shutdown both Macs
    Step 6: Start your second Mac in target mode. Make sure the firewire cable is still connected.
    Step 7: Start the Mini with the option key pressed.
    Step 8: Insert the OS X Server install disc in your second Mac.
    Step 9: wait till the drive logo apears om the Mini. Continue the install. Will take about an hour.

  • I recently (4 days ago) bought a Mac mini server with 10.7 lion; will I qualify for a free upgrade to Mountain Lion Server?

    How has Apple honoured buyers of other releases of OS X immediately before a new version was announced?

  • Purchased mac mini server with lion, can i download lion for my macbookpro ?

    Hi,
    I bought a mac mini server with lion server. I have macbookpro with Snowleopard. Do i need to purchase Lion again to install in macbookpro ?
    I registered my mac mini with my apple id .. still when i check app store in my macbook it is asking me to purchase again.
    Can someone clarify ?
    - thanks LP.

    Yes. What came on your Mini cannot be installed on your other computers. You will have to purchase and download Lion for the MBP. If you wish to install Lion server on the MBP, then you will have to purchase and download Lion Server, too.

  • Monitor Not Going To Sleep on Mac Mini Server With Lion

    Summary: I am attempting to configure a Mac Mini Server that runs OS X Lion. This machine was originally shipped with OS X Lion; it is not an upgrade. My current specific problem is that my Viewsonic VX2835wm monitor will not go to sleep when the minutes setting on the Display Sleep setting for Energy Saver has been reached. Instead, the screen goes blank for a couple of seconds and is replaced with a blank blue backlit monitor. (Ironcially, the display sleep menu cautions: "Never letting your display go to sleep may shorten its life".) I very much want and need the ability to have my monitor go to sleep so as to save energy and to extend the monitor's life for as long as possible.
    Additional Background: I have had a couple of calls with Mac support and they have been unable to tell me whether this is a "design feature" or a flaw in the Lion OS because they have had no similar reports and they do not have the latest hardare available running Lion Server to test to see if this happens with other monitors. (They also, of course, don't have the VX2835wm monitor.)
    I do, however, know the following:
    (1) My HDMI monitor is connected to my Mac mini via a DVI KWM switch (ATEN CS1784) such that the HDMI output from my Mac is converted to DVI (using the DVI to HDMI converter that came with my Mac Mini) and is then run through the KVM and then converted back to HDMI (using a full pin DVI to HDMI cable). However, I have tested the monitor with a straight HDMI to HDMI cable running directly from the Mac Mini to the monitor and it has not changed anything.
    (2) The Lion operating system correctly recognizes (in Hardware / Displays) the model of my ViewSonic monitor.
    (3) I have a MacBook Pro running Leopard (OS X 10.5.8) that is connected to the same monitor through the same KVM switch (by way of a BookEndz docking station) which properly shuts down the monitor when there has been no activity for however many minutes are set in the Display Sleep setting under Energy Saver. (Indeed, all I want is the same functionality on my Mac Mini that I have enjoyed for the last two years with this MacBook Pro.)
    (4) When fully connected to the KVM, if I switch from my Mac Mini to my MacBook Pro and my Mac Mini display goes to sleep while I am working on my MacBook Pro, when I switch back to the Mac Mini, my monitor backlight will be off (and the power light will be standby yellow rather than the blue on) until I wake my computer up by touching the mouse of keyboard. I wonder if this may mean that the Mac Mini's signalling of the change in status from on to standby is somehow dysfunctional.
    (5) Shutting down the server functions (and other open applications) has no effect.
    I would greatly appreciate feedback from anyone out there running a Mac Mini with Lion regarding whether or not their monitors go into standby mode when the Display Sleep time is reached (please note whether or not you are running the Server or Client version, whether or not it is a new install or upgrade, and what monitor you are using).
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

    No, I didn't solve the problem. The monitor still goes to sleep with WIndows but not with my Mac Mini.

  • Mac mini server with yosemite has no video

    heres the problem; i have a mac mini server (2013) and i upgraded to yosemite a few weeks ago. first when it went into dleep mode it would not power back up; i saw this was a problem so after rebooting i turned off sleep mode & problem solved. for a few days now, on powering on the fan ran continuously then yesterday there was no video. i reset SMC & PRAM - no effect. i tried to boot to safe mode but still no video. help

    Hi, long story short - I returned the Pegasus, got a new Pegasus and tested it. Also the second Pegasus had the error described above. So we returned that one as well, and bought a Synology DS1513+ instead.
    I do not know for sure what the problem with the Pegaus'es was, but I suspect it is this:
    http://features.techworld.com/storage/1019/what-is-time-limited-error-recovery/
    Shortly summarized - the drives in the Pegasus RAID box were not designed for a RAID setup. So error handling in the drives, and in the RAID box, interfered with each other, making the box marking drives faulty when they were not - and the copy job stopped because of a TLER error (Time Limited Error Recovery). Some of the error handling on the individual drives should be turned off. We ended up buying a Synology DS1513+ instead, with WD Red drives. These drives are specifically designed for RAID setups. This machine completed the copy job without error. I think the Toshiba drives (DT01ACA200) that were in the Pegasus were not designed for a RAID setup. So it all boils down to - a design flaw at the Pegasus team?

  • Mac Mini Server with Leopard

    I installed a Mac Mini Server in my media room. Connected it on my Ethernet, where i also have two other mac mini's a Mac Book Pro throughout the house. They all do "see" and "talk" to each other, and share files, like they are supposed to do. The only problem is: when i rent movies via i-Tunes on my Mac Mini SERVER, i can NOT see them on my other Mac Mini's throughout the house. I still can see the mac mini server on the left of the i-Tune menu, as well as the music and other files on it, photos etc... but if i want to watch that RENTED movie in my bedroom via my local mac Mini, no can do. is that normal.
    By the way after hours of trying, and spending over 10,000 dollars worth of mac products in my home, i called "On Line Support", and after some 25 minutes of pre-heating my ear on the phone, the nice gentleman wanted to charge me 49 dollars to answer my question??

    And that is how phone support works unless you purchase AppleCare for your Mac. Without AppleCare, you get 90 days of free phone support (starting from the date of purchase of the Mac); after that, you get charged unless the problem turns out to one that is covered under the Mac's warranty.

  • Mac mini server with Apple remote

    Hi,
    Bought my mac mini server november last year, and much to my surprise, with it came an Apple remote. Not the latest one but the flat all-white one.
    This weekend I have redeployed the mini in my house and want to start using Frontrow, however my remote does not seem to work with the mini.
    I have tested the remote with a number of other maca and atvs, there it works fine.
    Any pointers appreciated
    Pim

    That is really strange, the remote is not list as being in the box on the Mac mini Server's Specs page!
    I believe it used to be, there was definitely a pre-formed space for it in the box
    Have you checked the battery since it is an old model?
    I mentioned i worked perfect with any of the other Macs in the house
    You can use Mac Help in the Help menu of the Finder. Go to Index>A>Apple Remote for troubleshooting and pairing instructions.
    Not sure if this is the issue, since the server version does not have an optical drive, I was wondering if it has an IR eye

  • What is "best practice" to set up and configure a Mac Mini server with dual 1 TB drives, using RAID 1?

    I have been handed a new, out of the box, Mac Mini server.  Has two 1 TB drives in it.  Contractor suggested RAID 1 for the set up.  I have done some research
    and found out that in creating the software RAID, this takes away the recovery partition, so I have been reading up on how to create a recovery "disk" using a thumb drive.  this part of the operation I am comfortable with, but there are other issues/concerns that I have.
    Basically, what is the "best practice" to setup the Mini, configure the RAID and then start the server.  I am assuming the steps would be something like this:
    1) start up the Mini and run through the normal Maverick setup/config - keep it plain and vanilla
    2) grab a copy of the Server app and store it offline in a safe place
    3) perform the RAID configuration / reinstall of OS X Maverick using the recovery tools
    4) copy down and start the server app
    This might be considered a very simplified version of this article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4886 - Mac mini server (Late 2012 and Mid 2011): How to install OS X Server on a software RAID volume), with the biggest difference being I grab a copy of the Server App off of the mini before I reinstall, since I did not purchase it from the App store, but rather it came with the mini.
    Is there a best practice /  how-to tutorial somewhere that I can follow/learn from? Am I on the right track or headed for a train wreck?
    thanks in advance

    I think this article will answer your question. Hope this helps: http://wisebyte.blogspot.com/2014/01/best-configuration-for-mac-mini-server.html

  • Mac Mini Server with Windows installed?

    I have a windows application for a business otherwise all mac OS.  Want to run the windows app on a mac mini server allowing access from multiple workstations.  Desire to not committ entire mac mini server to windows so will need to partition I assume.  Any thoughts?

    You could try virtualizing the windows machine
    Virtual box is free I can't remember if it's free for commercial
    use
    Or VMware or parallels
    You could also try wine it's open source
    And allows running of (some) windows programs on Mac
    I've had mixed results with wine I haven't used it for ages
    Personally I think virtualizing would be the way to go
    Virtualizing would allow you to have snapshots and
    Backups would be somewhat easier
    If your unfamiliar with virtualizing
    It basically runs a compete OS as software on the host machine
    You can virtualize osx server on osx server if you desired
    Or most other OS, Linux, BSD, windows, windows server
    You just need enough grunt hard drive space and ram to host the virtualized OS

  • 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:

  • Reboot mac mini server with ssh?

    Hello,
    After trying to update to latest update of Snow my mac mini server doesn't reboot again.
    I assume that the update failed and crippled my system.
    I only have remote access via ssh.
    Is there any way to get the GUI up and running again using ssh?
    Maybe a rollback?
    thanks for any pointers.

    However, strange thing now is when I want to select the HD as Destination, I get this message:
    " Mac OS X server can't be installed on this disk. A version of Mac OS X was not found "
    If this is an official Mac Mini Server and using the provided DVD distribution disk using the documented sequence, then it should load straight away. (If not, call Apple support.)
    Using the provided DVD disk via an intermediate system is something I've seen discussed in the forums, (see [here|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12367643] for a discussion, possibly by [connecting into and starting the assistant Mac in Target Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661], and particularly also see [page 38 here|http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/Mac_mini_Late2009_SL_ServerUG.pdf] for one of the official Apple sequences) but not something where I usually immediately recall the sequence. (I usually use an external USB CD drive when I need to do this.)
    If this was a Mac Mini box that was upgraded to a Mac OS X Server configuration, then you can need to load the client Mac OS X that arrived with the box, then the server Mac OS X.
