How do I remove Mountain Lion and reinstate the original server OS

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion on my MacBook Air, the problem was that my Mac mini showed it available on the apps store, which I then (Stupidly) downloaded. Can anyone tell me know how to turn back time and remove Mountain Lion from my Mac mini and reinstate the server OS as now the server will not operate correctly. - HELP!

I want to do a completely clean install of Mountain Lion.
I had Snow Leopard installed, upgraded to Mountain Lion (by buying it from the App Store) but how do I tell it to format the drive and then install Mountain Lion?
Snow Leopard would have needed to be installed on a properly formatted drive, so I don't understand why you would need to format it again to that same format.

Mountain Lion Mac Mini Server Ethernet Port Not Working

I have a Mac Mini Server and once I upgraded to Mountain Lion Server the Ethernet port is unresponsive. It worked before upgrading. Is there something with Mountain Lion Server that is causing the Ethernet port not to work properly?

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Mountain Lion - Connect FTP Server

I have never been able to connect Finder to my FTP server since upgrading to Mountain Lion. I can connect with Firezilla, other FTP apps and Console but when attempting to connect in Finder (GO > Connect to Server), the connect attempt window just spins and eventually shakes it's head like a bad password, which works with other FTP apps. How is everyone mounting FTP sites in Finder? Not?

Hello,
I have yet to setup this up but it does not make any sense to me as to why the admin would have to login to the local computer to get updated. This defeats the whole point in my opinion. You can try giving the network user admin rights of the computer and see if it works.
1. Login as the network user.
2. Open System preferences and go to users and groups.
3. Check the box "Allow user to administer this computer"
You may have to restart and then test it to see.
The only other thing I can think of trying on the local side is joining the computer to server if you already have not done this.
Thanks,

Create a bootable Mountain Lion OS X Server installer ?

With Lion and Lion Server it was possible to create a Lion Server installer just bij adding a ServerVersion.plist file in the folder CoreServices.
Adding that enabled the normally greyed-out 'Customize'-button that installed the Server.app and ServerEssentails.pkg (nevertheless an internet connection was still required).
I don't go in details here too much but is a similar procedure possible for Mountain Lion ? To install OS X Server in one row ?

Not that I am aware of. If you find a way please disclose.
I fear that this is no longer possible and the reason I say this is that we have already gotten a few BTO mini Servers arriving with Mountain Lion + Server.app installed. However, if you erase the drive and perform and Internet restore you no longer get Mountain Lion + Server.app installed. You get Mountain Lion and then need to go to the App Store, associate the device with an Apple ID which grants you access to Server.app for download.

How do I remove mountain lion?

I want to return to snow leopard. The only reason I upgraded was for dictation, which I did not know was only 30 seconds (useless). Additionally, I now cannot use favorite programs because they aren't compatible with mountain lion. I hate mountain lion.

I agree wholeheartedly.
I had Leopard, and skipped an updated OS to Mountain Lion.
In my opinion the improvements are mostly superficial, and don't exponentially show a marked
improvement in the function and speed of my computer (IMac 27" dual 3.06 woth 4 GB Ram and a 1 TB hard drive).
Things such as "Notes" or "Reminders" (which seem the same to me) or Launchpad are just 3 examples of "cosmetic" improvements, none of which I bother with.
Mountain Lion also came with an "improved" Safari 6 which is slower than the previous version, and seems to "stick". By "stick", I mean that if I go to a sight and then click on something, I cannot move to that window.
I purchased the upgrade because of the price, so I'm not bothered by the $ 20.00. However, I wouldn;t have missed much had I not spent the money for the "new and improved" version.

I have problems to connect iCal 6.0 (Mountain Lion) with Exchange Server 2007

I used ICal with Exchange Server 2007 without problems with Lion. After I adopted Mountain it has been impossible to use ICal and I have obliged to use Outlook because It was not possible to connect ICal with Server.
I reinstalled Mountain and rebuilt Outlook data base, canceled cache and so on but without results. How cn I do?

I was having problems with this too. I remember it working okay in iOS 7 and then it breaking in iOS 8.
Fortunately, I'm now on the iOS 8.1 beta, and can confirm it's working fine for me. Just how it used to. - I guess that's one of the bugs that Apple's new software will bust. We'll just have to wait it out.

Mountain Lion Software Update Server?

Let me start by saying that I am no server administrator, but was convinced that setting up a Mac Server on a MacMini would be relatively straightforward due to Apple's history and claims...
Server app. Your own mini IT department.
The Mac is famously easy to use, and so is Mac mini withOS X Server. That makes it perfect for people who’ve never run a server before, or for overtaxed IT departments. The Server app will walk you through the setup process step by step. And if you want help at any stage, just choose the Help menu or click the Next Steps button.
Well, it's not really working for me...
After two weeks of internet research and changing setting on the server (a 2011 Mac Mini with RAID 1 1TB drives - I upgraded myself) and the later Server app running on top of 10.8.2 (installed from software recovery on new drives) I have been able to get my Mac computers (a MacBook Pro and an iMac both running 10.8.2) to connect to the server and have it operate as a file server.
Several users now have their own log in details and home directories (on the server) and iTunes is operating using 'Home Share' from the server to all clients.
I've been trying to set up the Software Update Server and have, I think, successfully set up the server with the correct address and turned on the service. (I'd post a screen shot, but there is little to see: the 'button' is on and the settings are on 'Automatic'. All updates now show as 'Enabled' after about 3 days of the service running.
I am using address: http://myservernamehere.local:8088/index.sucatalog in Profile Manager on the server under 'Software update' in 'Device Groups' (I have added the computers to the group). I cannot find any other settings to adjust on the server, and have had little luck following Apple support documents.
I have reviewed this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2794 and read this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4069 and generally gone round in circles.
Can anyone explain in simple terms why the App store on the clients keeps showing an update available (Java for OS X 2013-002 1.0) and when I click on 'Update' I get the error 'Could not connect to the server.(-1004)'
I'm totally confused by this and will dispute Apple's claims that "It is perfect for people who have never run a server before".

Mountain Lion and Network Server

I am new to the Mac world and now have a super iMac working with Mountian Lion, Paralles 8 & Windows. I have a synology NAS and, with NetDrive everything works pretty well.
I want the principal folders of the NAS to appear on my Desktop when I boot or wake-up after sleep and this works well too. However, Finder opens each of these primary folders so before I can work I have to close an open window for each of about 10 folders. This is tedious. Of cours, I need to open the primary folders on the NAS at times but to have all oepn on starting the computer is not what I want.
What I have I not got right? I want to see the primary folders on my desktop. I need to be able to use Finder to get into them. I do not want to have each of them open automatically eacht time I start the computer. Can anyone help?

Thanks for your reply.
I believe I got it to work, but,... How do you get the network account users to show up on the login window of the client computer? The login window shows the name of the client computer and the local accounts on the client computer. When I select Other in the login list I can login using a network account user id and it logs in. The network account user names do not show up on the login window

Trust relation between mac server 2.2.1 (10.8 mountain lion) and windows server 2008 r2

i have the following settings:
windows 2008R2 domain server.
mac server 2.2.1
mac client machines
mac server machine is joined to Active Directory in windows 2008r2 without any problems.
mac client machine is joined to mac server without any problem.
the only problem is that i cannot log in to the mac client machine with a username from the active directory in windows 2008r2. i can log in with a created user on the mac server.
i did a trust relation in windows 2008r2:
Realm trust
Transitive
One-way incoming
still cannot log with ad users. can anyone help me in the configurations if i missed something? i am new to mac servers and their configurations.

does this mean that on every mac client i have to join 2 domains, the windows domain and mac domain?
Yes
then, why to use "workgourp manager" in mac to copy all the active directory users to mac server group? i do this to make all users available for authentication through mac serve ronly.
Am I right? The users on your macserver are a copy of your users of the AD? It was not necessary to do that. Because all Users will listed on the Server.app on the User-Manager if you setup was correct. And this means:
- first join your Mac (used as Server) to your Active Directory
- second Install the Server.app. The Setup Wizard will do the rest.
In my case, on the Usersection an the Server.app I will find "Benutzer von FAMILY-NET" that is my Active Domain.
and if i join the mac client to windows domain for authentication, why do i need the mac server for? i need only to authenticate users in active directory on mac os x and that is only it.
In this case - you need no Mac Server!
Only if you want to use the Services of the Mac-Server (DNS, Wiki, Mail,...) or Manage you IOS/Mac Devices. Than it is necessary.
sorry for my many questions, i am very new to mac os x and server.
No problem. I lived in Mac-Worlds since 2 years. I infected with it with the purchase of my first iphone.

Mountain Lion push email - server name best practice

Would anyone be able to guide a newbie with advice on server naming for a mac mini?
I have a public web presence but want to direct incoming email through the server for push email to iOS devices, i.e iPhones. The server will also be a VPN to the internal network, which will be running a hybrid of mac and win7 clients. The company webserver will remain at the webhost.
Should I simply call the host machine server.mydomain.com or for example, mailserver.mydomain.com? I have read some wiki's and advice for naming conventions that have left me confused. I think I can handle the setting up of the CNAME, A and MX records. But on the latter point, if someone has a simple English reference they want to offer up, then I would be most grateful.
I want to adopt a sound strategy as my first foundation stone. Or am I paranoid with this parameter?
Many thanks in advance.

Okay, I had this problem and solved it as follows:
1. Deleted any non-functioning iCloud-IMAP accounts from Mail's Preferences. I had two that were working fine, so I left those in place. One of those was the primary iCloud account on my Mac, i.e., the account used for "Find My iPhone/Mac/iPad" and iCloud storage, etc.
2. Then I quit Mail and restarted my computer.
3. Went to my other devices and made sure the primary account was the same one there. [Note: It was not -- the primary iCloud account was different on my iPhone versus my Mac, I think this discrepancy might have been the source of the problem, but I don't know.]
4. I also made sure my wife's Mac uses a different primary iCloud account, one that is not on my machines, although we share one secondary iCloud Mail account (which is not the primary on any device -- it is always a secondary account).
5. Then, following MChannel's advice upthread, I went into System Preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calendars, and added the formerly problematic iCloud accout that way. I have everything turned on for my primary iCloud account. All of the secondary accounts only have Mail turned on (although I don't think that matters -- you can turn on the other features that are available there if you like).
6. Opened Mail and voila! -- everything is working fine. Accounts are all set up properly without me even opening Mail's Preferences.

Mail in Mountain Lion "Incoming Mail Server" field cannot be empty

I put my wife's email account which is in iCloud on mail with a couple of other iCloud accounts. To identify who's iCloud account is who's, In the preferences on the account where you edit the description from the default "iCloud" to User's Name iCloud and after you hit save I get an error saying The "Incoming Mail Server" field cannot be empty. Yet is has p04--imap.mail.me.com in the field that is greyed out and I cannot edit the fields contents and therefore doesn't allow me to change the email account's description. I've tried deleting the accounts, logging out of icloud, etc. Nothing has fixed this yet.
On a side note, one of my other email accounts from iCloud keeps popping up with it needing the password field to be entered. No matter what I try, it doesn't take the password. I can log into it just fine through safari.
So it seems like iCloud is having issues as well as Mail and contacting Apple twice and escalating to tier 2 both times has yeilded the person saying they didn't know and then hanging up on me. Does anyone else know what I might try?

Receive email delay one hour using Mac Mail client (Mountain Lion) connect Exchange Server 2010

Hi all,
My boss use iPhone, iPad, MacBook Air (Mac Mail client), MacPro (Mac Mail client) connect Exchange Serve 2010 to receive emails. All clients are okay except MacBook Air, the Mac Mail client cannot receive the latest emails from Exchange Server, but it can receive (sync) the emails after one hour. The other clients can receive the latest email after Exchange Server receive new emails immediately.
In this period, the MacBook Air can receive the other IMAP, POP3 and webmail from ISP normally. I tried to set 5 mins to check emails or manual check email from Exchange Server. However, the latest email still delay one hour.......... .
I dumped a screenshot for Mac Mail setting for Exchange Server and a Log file.
could anyone help me to solve this issue?
Thanks

I am not sure what the user has the check for new messages set for but mail does arrive as short as 2 minutes. It does however arrive on his iphone immediately first.
