Can anyone encourage Rackspace Cloud Servers to include Mac OS X Servers?

Rackspace Cloud Servers is a very good choice for unmanaged hosting and one thing that captured my mind was it only supported Windows Servers 2003 & 2008. I don't like paying for Server Security which in fact Macs don't require you to pay for annual subscriptions like Anti-viruses and Firewall Support. Does anyone want to chip in and contact Rackspace Cloud Sales? I would be glad to if I could use Mac OS X Server in Rackspace Cloud.

P.S. If anyone can help me with this problem, I would be gladly appreciated.

How big are you talking?
The Mini can handle most medium-sized websites easily, and even some larger sites could be run on the Mini, with a bit more management.
Are you concerned about extreme loads? MacMiniColo offers load balancing, which should allow you to host even the biggest sites, short of requiring an Akamai-type solution. High-availability sites are almost trivial to maintain on a "mini-cluster" behind the load balancer, since you can take one machine out of the cluster, upgrade it, and then force replication to the rest of the cluster once the upgrade proves stable.
For the cost of a single, well-outfitted XServe, you can buy four to five Mini servers. With those machines, even drive failure is minimized, since 500GB is plenty for most midrange websites, and you use the other drive as a mirror of the primary.
Take a good, hard look at what you're intending to stand up in a colocation site. If shelf space is not an issue, there's very little a cluster of Mini Servers cannot handle, with higher redundancy than even the mighty XServe.

    You can change the coding of Table Maintenance.
    >> Goto SM30, give table name and goto Display/Maintain mode and copy all the GUI status from standard program into your function group. Add sort button in the GUI Status of Maintain & Display mode.
    >> Goto to tablemaintenance screen generated using SE51.
    >> Select change mode.
    >> After PROCESS BEFORE OUTPUT, create one module to assign your function group program name to " X_HEADER-GUI_PROG = "
    >> In PROCESS AFTER INPUT, add another module at the end to perform the action.

    I just got a new iMac yesterday. I connected my Itouch and it would appear I have lost all my songs! Can anyone help? This is my first Mac and I am very intimidated by it.I

    How did you get your songs onto your iPod Touch?
    If purchase directly from iTunes you can download them again.
    If your iPod is synced to iTunes on a Windows PC, then, sync your iPod to that computer.
    If this is your first Mac, are you migrating from a Windows PC?

  • Can anyone tell from this log why my mac keeps crashing and forcing a restart?

    Can anyone tell fromm the log below why my iMac keeps randomly crashing and forcing a restart? It is happening way too often now and it's driving me crazy!
    Only just a few days ago I wiped my drive clean and installed a fresh OS copy of mountain lion, I then though it may be a Ram issue but a thorough test said everything was ok and I had a memory monitor window open last time it crashed which showed that barely any of the memory was in use!?
    Really need some help here guys!
    Thanks in advance!

    Right so I decided to erase my harddrive completely using disk utility, then went on to install a fresh version of mountain lion (both by holding down cmd-r when booting up)
    With a fresh system I tried what had previously casued a kernel crash, which wa copying a video to my downloads folder, selecting it and then hitting spacebar to preview it, the video plays fine for about a minute then it jolts, freezes and then retarts with a white screen saying I need to restart.
    Below is the report, im so confused!

  • Can anyone help please? daughter has new Mac book pro - decided to use her back up data from old mac and put on pro - now has old mac.  can she delete

    Can anyone help please?  daughter in panic.  Has new Mac Pro - decided to put all her old mac on new pro via back up disk - result old mac - can she reset somehow?

    Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
    Partition and Format the hard drive:
    1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Can anyone FTP to 1and1 Servers?

    I'm using 1and1 (Microsoft) for webspace and havent had any luck using the built in FTP app with iWeb09? It looks like it uploads the majority of the files, but eventually fails. If anyone is using 1and1, is it Linux or Microsoft based? Any help, would be greatly appreciated!

    Rather then pick a directory to publish too we should be able to browse to it.
    Also need the ability to have it publish to a directory that we can rename because the "site name" added to the path is a pain in the ***.
    Third,.. where is the Tables ???!!!
    Make sure you tell them what you want here:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/iweb.html
    But I don't think it would be realistic to think any of the items you mention will be added soon. Why is the site name such a problem for you? iWeb has always created this structure, and since the RSS Subscribe buttons do not work without it, Apple is unlikely to change it.

  • Can anyone recommend the best ONLINE backup for Mac's

    Hello, I have a new Macbook Pro, and would like to take an extra step and backup
    my pictures, my files, my i-tunes library, onto an online service. Does anyone use one
    now or have you had any experience with using an online service? Thanks

    While MobileMe does offer up cloud storage, I wouldn't say it's a great backup service as such. You have to manually copy stuff etc. It's not automated - of course there are ways to automate it of course.
    Also, you need to consider the amount you need to store. 20Gb standard with MobileMe, beyond that you pay to upgrade?
    Personally I prefer to use automated services. My current favourite is Mozy - you can read about my experiences here: http://www.markc.me.uk/MarkC/Blog/Entries/2009/7/15Online_Backups_-Mozy.html
    I've the best part of 1Tb of uploaded backed up data on there now, all for 50ish dollars/year. Bargain, and works well.

  • HT204053 can I have two cloud accounts on one mac. Different i tunes accounts and users

    Can I have two ic;ouds on the same mac. This is a ridiculous set up. Why do I need to create a user name and insert all of this information just to get a simple answer. its no wonder people end up googling stuff rather than using this website.

    If you prefer to Google, then Google. On here you stand a good chance of getting a direct answer from experienced users. And the login is necessary because without it we'd get more spam and stupid posts than we do now. Pretty well all online forums require an login for the same reason.
    To answer your actual question. Firstly, you can use different Apple ID's for iTunes (and iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) and iCloud itself, with email, Calendar and Contacts syncing, PhotoStream, and so on. There is no conflict about doing this.
    If you want to use two separate actual iCloud accounts you can do one of two things:
    1. You can set up a second user account on your Mac: then each user account can be separately signed into and iCloud account with all its facilities.
    2. Having decided which iCloud account is to be your main one, and having signed into System Preferences>iCloud with it (and enabled Mail, Calendars and so on) you can sign in with the other account in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts & Calendars. The email, calendars and contacts will appear alongside those belonging to the first account. The only differences from the primary account are a) Email is not 'pushed' but checked at intervals, and b) you can only use PhotoStream with the primary account.

  • Can I install Creative Cloud on Windows and Mac

    I know I can install Creative Cloud student membership on two computers.
    I have Windows Desktop 8.1 at home and Macbook Pro in my backpack classroom,  Once I setup a Creative Cloud student membership, is there an option to install Creative Cloud on both Windows desktop and MB Pro ?  
    Thanks.

    Yes, you can install on both the machines.

  • Can anyone recommend a powerpoint-like program for mac that is free?

    I cannot afford to spend a fortune on power point but my kids are always needing to do pp presentations for school.  Is there a good free program out there or even one with a lower price point?

    Apple's Keynote (like Power Point) is available by itself through the App store for $19.99, however, you need to be at OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later to access the App store.
    You can also buy the iWork suite, which has Keynote, Numbers (think excel), and Pages (think Word) for $79 from Apple. If being downlevel one release is OK, the iWork '08 package is available through an Amazon vendor for $38.98 which includes shipping.

  • Can anyone recommend a recovery software for my mac mail?

    I had to recreate a new email account and in doing so I guess my older (more than 7 days) emails have all been deleted. Has anyone used receovery software for the mac?

    Well, prevention is always better than cure - do you have any backup system? (And if not, I strongly recommend you set something up - Time Machine is automatic, frequent, and part of OS X; it only requires an external hard drive or Time Capsule).
    Second, most email services now have IMAP functionality, meaning that all mail can be stored on the server - this reduces the chance of losing email. So check with your mail provider if you can set up IMAP and what the server settings would be.
    As to your specific question, I personally have used Data Rescue successfully, but you do need to run it quickly after you lose data (the more you use the computer, the more the "deleted" filespace is written over, potentially losing files permanently). You can download a trial for free to see if your files can be recovered before you pay. You do need an additional drive to store recoveed files to.
    good luck!

  • Can anyone help with clearing space on my Mac Mini, it says the hard drive is full and runs slowly.

    Please help, we got the Mac Mini from a family member so it may have his stuff on it but no longer required, we have only put a smal amount of data on it so don't believe we have over filled it. I backed up to a hard drive all photos etc as I thought it may be them filling it, now I cannot even scan a document to it. Is there any way to Defrag it as you can normally do to a windows system as well as either declutter it or restore the whole thing.
    Best Regards

    The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You — not the previous owner — must do that. How you do it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
    1. You don't own another Mac.
    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 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. Preferably, 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 installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for some MacBook Air models. For early MBA models, you may need a USB optical drive or Remote Disc. You should have received the media from the previous owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
    To boot from an optical disc or a flash drive, 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, you don't need media. 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.
    2. You do own another Mac.
    If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to create a bootable USB device and boot the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can boot from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
    Once booted in 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.
    After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. You will need the Apple ID and password that you used to upgrade. 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.
    Then run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get 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, Mac App Store 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 to  authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.

  • Can anyone recommend e-book reader app for mac os10.8.5

    Hi
    Im trying to find an app to use for e-books from public library and other free e-book resources. I am not ready to update to Mavericks which uses ibook app because I am waiting for some of the glitches ie printing, accessibility - dragon dicitate and all the  problems reported by the support community discussions.
    Personally I am not happy with ios 7 changes and I am reluctant to upgrade mac notebook and desktop. So I am being very cautious to make mac os changes especially when my printer being older model may or may not work and reports of dragon dictate, ms office and all the programs that are costly to replace.
    I have vision problems and he ability to read an e-book both on and off line on a large screen would open a world of possibilies. While I like audiobooks nothing replaces seeing the words on a page and reading them to myself !
    So when recommending an app please let me know how well it can increase font size, differentiate colors, and bookmark pages.
    The ease of scolling and pagination in an e-book is important with my handicap.
    I am financially unable to invest in purchasing apps that are more then $5.00 nor am I am to buy an e-reader like an ipad or other brands.
    I know I could use a pdf app but the page flow of a pdf file is not visually appealing. I also find it hard to find where I left off reading.
    Thank you in advance for your help

    Thanks very much. That fixed the problem.
