Can i reset a Server Installation to start over without reinstalling?

Is it possible to delete all the (or some) Prefs of an Server-Installation to start over the Configuration without reinstalling the System? (i have no second computer and an iMac without CD-ROM).

If you're on Mountain Lion, it's pretty easy. Just drag Server.app out of the Applications folder. This will disable all of the server processes. Then you can remove everything in /Library/Server. That will remove all of the saved state, effectively returning you to a clean install of server.

How can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

how can i reset my disabled iphone to factory setting without itunes?

When you made the backup, you may have told it to encrypt the backup so that you can recover iPhone to factory settings successfully.

Therefore I used the normal iTunes backup and restore found under the Summary tab in iTunes. If your data is still on the other phone, back it up again with iTunes. To use iTunes you have to start it, connect your phone to the computer with a cable, then select the iPhone button near the top right corner of the screen. Be sure not to check the encrypt button.

How can I reset my web server settings to factory default without reinstalling the operating system?

I have a MacBook Air that has been upgraded over time from OS to OS. I'm currently running Yosemite.
I don't have any issues with the computer, it is running fine. Over the years, however, I've tinkered around with the server in different ways (the apache and php that shipped with OS X, MAMP, and with NGINX) and when I went to get back into some development it seems as though there's some conflicts.
What I'd love to do (assuming it is possible) is reset all of the web server's factory settings so I can just move forward from that point (Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc.).
I saw there was a terminal command for OS X Server that allows you to reset all of the server settings to how it came from the factory.
Is there a similar command that works for non-OS X Server or a utility that can restore the web server settings?

there probably is a way, but the success rate would be fairly low. you say you don't want to reinstall the OS, why? you know that reinstalling it keeps all your files and settings as they are, while resetting system files? (OS X Mavericks: Reinstall OS X)

Can I install Windows Server 2012 r2 essentials over Windows 7 Pro

I have new hardware that came with windows 7 pre-installed. It meets and exceeds hardware requirements. Can i install Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials on this machine. What is the procedure? Any help would be grateful.
Thanks
Woodrow

Hi.
I agree with Milos on this; if you want to install Windows Server 2012 Essentials on a machine which suppose to use Windows 7, I would use it solely for test purposes.
Could you tell us what the computer specifications are???
For anything more serious (and I can see that you want to use this machine for accounting software), I would suggest purchasing a server machine.
However, if you really really want this machine to be Windows Server 2012 Essentials, check this article on technet:

P.S. As Milosh sugested, please do a backup first

Can I use Leopard Server for a few things without a static IP/DNS mapping?

Caveat: I'm pretty capable at setting up and running macs, but not a crack server admin or anything like that. I don't write code and my eyes start to glaze over when you start talking about Kerbos and the like...
Question: I'd like to use Leopard server for a few things on my local network - with some vpn access to the same services:
- iCal server (the most important feature) for 3 users
- File server services for Time Machine (yes, base Leopard can do this)
- vpn access into the iCal server for one user
Do I have to go through the headache of switching over from a dynamic IP to a static IP, setting up DNS mapping, etc? Or is there a simpler way?
Any help appreciated. Thanks

When Firefox freezes, how can I shut it down, and re-start it without it automatically going to the site which caused the problem in the first place ?

I have Firefox set so that when I start up, I have it set so that it automatically goes to my home page. However when it freezes, which it does on a daily basis, and I have to shut it down and re-start, it automatically goes to the site which caused the problem in the first place.
If I was a hacker, I would probably find it quite fun to design a virus to reintroduce bugs after they had been exterminated - except that Firefox seem to have got there first.

Here's how:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''sess''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes''' preference and enter 0 (that's a zero) and click OK.
When Firefox resumes after a crash, instead of resuming automatically, it will display a list of your previous windows and tabs and you can deselect problem pages.
(This assumes it wasn't a private browsing session.)

Please help, how can i reset my "forget this device" in bluetooth, without my restrictions passcode?

Hi, i got some new bluetooth headphones which are really good but one time i accidentally pressed "forget this device", and now my ipod cant find the headphones. I did some reading online and i tried to "reset all settings" but i needed my restrictions passcode, which i have forgotten ( well actually i dont remember making one, because i know i would forget it ). Can anyone help me because at the moment i cant use my new headphones ?

You will not like the answer

You have to either:
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod

Each time I edit my bookmarks on one computer they get changed or duplicated by another. How can I clear my sync file and start over?

I have 2 desktop computers, one running Windows 7, the other Ubuntu Linux. I also have a laptop running Linux Mint and a netbook for travelling dual-booting Ubuntu Linux and Windows 7. I use Firefox sync so I have my bookmarks available on all of them. The problem I'm experiencing is that sometimes I make a change to a bookmark, folder or sub-folder, like deleting, renaming or moving to another folder. Later, when I go back to either that computer or another, the bookmark or folder is back. How can I control syncing so I can force an upload of my bookmarks, then replace the bookmarks on the other computers? I was able to do that with XMarks but switched to Firefox sync a few months ago and prefer it since it doesn't ask me to log in frequently.

If you have all of the data the way you want it on one computer, then create a new account in Firefox sync and add the account to the profile without Xmarks.

I have forgotten my restrictions code, and don't have an iTunes backup on a PC. How can I reset the code or find my code without using a PC or jailbreaking/hacking into my iPod?

iPod 5 generation. ios 8.1.2
I forgot the restrictions code, and I'm trying to reset my iPod, but because of restrictions, it won't let me! I cannot do the thing with the computer, because I never backed it up on a PC before. I've also tried the so-called 'default' code, and it didn't work, either.

There is no default code.

Starting over-- without classic???

heres the short story-- Ive been runing os9 of one version or another on imacs over the years and currently have 9.2.2 running exactly how I want it. A couple months ago i stumbled on a killer deal on a g4 power mac- still an older machine but it blows my imac away- it runs 10.1. This is my first real expirence with osx and now that Im getting comfortable with it-- Im ready to upgrade to tiger (Im waiting for my media exchanged version) Furthermore, I want to zero out the hard drive- the guy that sold it to me was not a mac guy at all and I have kind of a mess on my hands. My question is.... do I have to install os9 before i can install tiger if I have really no desire to use classic environment-- dont get me wrong, I love os9, but I have a whole seperate machine dedicated to it, i also use the imac as an external firewire drive for the G4 for backing-up-- my point is that my os9 needs are covered.
And if anyone has any tips on a custom installation of Tiger I would really appriciate it- I really want to do this right the first time.

You will need to read the notes with the particular firmware update.
Usually the update requires the Mac to be booted from OS 9 or OS 8. In that situation you would need to install the appropriate OS on your hard drive to install the firmware update.
Once the firmware is installed, there is no need to reinstall it when you erase the OS or replace the hard drive. The firmware is installed on the motherboard.

Stop sound and start over without "pop"

I need to be able to interrupt and restart a short (3-4 second) sound file while it's still playing. Seems simple enough, but with both SoundEngine and AudioServices it causing a "popping" sound as it restarts. Is there any way to avoid this? I tried stopping the sound first with SoundEngine before starting it but it doesn't make any difference. (The waveform for the sound starts at zero, in case you're wondering.) Thanks for any help you can give me on this...it's been driving me crazy.

Yes Craig, my response was assuming you were using AudioQueue - I do not know much about SoundEngine but I see from looking at the code that it is based on AudioQueue.
I disagree with ramping of the volume - it seems to me this is just masking a problem in management of the buffers. Whatever is in your buffer is what will be sent to the output device when you start it. That is why you prime the buffers in the first place. AudioQueue implements a pause. You may want to update SoundEngine to use that rather than do a start / stop. Although if your intention was to restart the track from the beginning you want to use stop then start and will have to make sure the buffers are cleared out and re-primed with data from the beginning of your audio file. I do not know if SoundEngine is set up to properly handle this use case.

Can I move my system to a new HD without reinstalling?

I know that reinstalling the OS and all the apps will give cleaner results, and I know I shouldn't do this, but is there a way to copy the entire OS/application drive to a second HD and still have it work if I erase the original drive? Here's my situation:
I just bought a 500GB internal HD. I already have a 160 and a 400 installed inside the computer, and a 140GB Firewire drive. I want to replace the 160 with the new 500, but the 160 holds the system and applications. I really don't want to have to spend two days reinstalling everything. Is there anything I can do to, say, clone the 160, copy the files onto one of the other drives, replace the 160 with the 500, then copy the files onto the 500?
I'm worried about invisible files not being copied, or sections of files being copied onto sectors that are not where they can be read by the file. Should I be?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

*Hi Lloyd, Welcome (back)* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
Retrospect has "backup" and "duplicate." BU makes sequential BUs that are not bootable. The last time I used it I had 19 levels. Duplicate is bootable IIRC.
Here are the sites of interest for cloning.
http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
Purchase at $27.95 will allow smart backups that look at the bu files and only move over new ones. It's quick at ~7 mins to change ~1 gig out of 20. SD is not yet Leopard ready. This is what I use.
Be sure to test that the clone boots and apps behave properly.
Here are other recommended cloners.
