Can I use Leopard Server with Samba instead of Windows Box?

I need to add an admin setup to a clients studio, basically to run a separate network with 4 win XP 32bit clients and a basic file sharing server that has roaming profiles.
So my question is would a Mac Pro with 10.5 server running as a PDC via SMB be OK?
I would much prefer to stay in the OS X world and seeing as its a basic setup it should be fine?
I have read about serious issues with 10.5 and SMB on 64Bit clients (which we will not be using)
Any tips etc really would be much appreciated

Yes, CIFS/SMB services do generally work fine. (Some folks have had some problems here, yes.)
There are various wrinkles with Vista NLTM authentication that are discussed around the forums.
Providing Open Directory (the Mac OS X Server analog to Microsoft Active Directory) is more involved than providing disk services.
You're going to want to read file and disk services and Open Directory materials in the manual set as a start.
And if you're headed down this path, first get RAID configured and working, then get DNS working, DHCP and related, and then get OD working, and then add CIFS / SMB services and other such. Order how you install and configure your services here, as there are dependencies on what (other) services are available.

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

Can I use Wiki Server with a custom build of Apache?

Hi there. For various reasons, I may need to roll my own build of Apache, PHP, and some other web technologies. What I'm hoping to do is use Wiki Server for the collaborative part of our site, but I don't know if it can be set up to run with an Apache build other than the one that comes with Leopard.
Can this be done? If so, how?

That could work, I suppose. I take it it's not possible to configure the Wiki Server to work with a different build of Apache?
I'd just as soon not run two Apache instances on our new system; that's what we're doing now, on our Tiger server, and it's a bit inconvenient to have two sets of web configuration settings to worry about.
If possible, I'd like to use the Wiki server with a custom Apache build. (I need to rebuild PHP, you see...)

I can't use epics server with DSC module

Hello,i am new to labview,and i'm using labview2009 with .I tried to add an epics server,and add some variables to the PV list ,but it keeps telling me that i can't because the data type is not supported .I read the help document,found that i am using the right type and i tried all data types but none would work.
So i am really confused and does any one has the same problem?
I am using the chinese version of labview 2009.

You
should be able to change the PV name in the Configure EPICS Server I/O
Server dialog box by just left clicking on the PV name one time. The cursor should then appear next to the name, and you can just use the keyboard to edit the name

Can I use my Server 2012 r2 key for Windows 8?

Right now I am using Server 2012, but as a desktop/gaming OS. I have been getting a bunch of DirectX and xinput errors lately so I wanted to know if my key could be used for Windows 8.1. I got the key through DreamSpark if it matters.

It doesn't really matter where you got it, a server product key cannot be used to install a client OS. Where were you planning to get the installation media for 8.1?
In any case, the server edition which corresponds to 8.1 is server 2012R2. Server 2012 corresponds to Windows 8.

Can I use BI Beans with Jbuilder?

hi
Can I use BI Beans with Jbuilder Instead of JDeveloper.

Is there a separate download for this (a version that will work with any J2EE IDE, I'm using JBuilder X)? When I tried to install the BI Beans download, it failed because it was looking for a version of JDeveloper.
Yes, BI Beans are J2EE compliant components and will
work within any J2EE compliant IDE. However, as
JBuilder does not support the JDeveloper wizard
driven development paradigm you will experience the
same level of productivity using JBuilder.

I had Leopard on may Mac. I upgraded to Mountain Lion using Snow Leopard. I can't use my video with Mountain Lion. Can I load Snow Leopard on an external hard drive so I can use it with my camera?

First, you cannot do this if you have a Boot Camp partition.
Second: Create a new partition.
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Third: Install Snow Leopard.
Boot from your Snow Leopard DVD. Follow instructions for installation being sure that before you actually install Snow Leopard you have selected the new partition as your target destination.
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo
appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.

I can see my folders by clicking the X next to my name on the Inbox Folder. So I have my folders now, just cannot see them in the left colum or see multiple windows on Outlook. At this point, I can use the folders, just with limited functionality. Thanks -Gina

When trying to burn a playlist to a blank CD, iTunes 10.3.1 won't recognize the blank CD I've inserted (Verbatim CD-R). I've burned using these CDs before, this is a recent problem. Not the burner, as I can burn using Toast. iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8

What kind of CD are you burning (Audio or MP3)?
If you're burning an MP3 CD, the songs must already
be in mp3 format.
If not, iTunes will tell you that you have no songs
in the playlist.
M
I was making an audio cd. But I have since found out what the problem was. The files in my PLAYLIST I converted to aiff, since they were SDll files (I thought they were similar to AIFF, and they PLAY on Itunes...just won't burn.) When I selected the songs in the playlist and converted them...I thought all those files were converted, They were not. The converted files went into my LIBRARY, even tho I selected the ones in the playlist...and once I exchanged the SDll versions of the songs in my playlist. THEN they burned fine...but still...it's confusing..you say convert..it says it's been converted..and what they don't say is it's not been converted inside the playlist...where I had selected the songs...It just ADDED aiff versions..but only in the library...Anyway, that's what happened. But it's strange that it PLAYS SDll but won't burn them....and you'd think, logically..the ones you selected would change...but they don't. Playlists are mainly pointers to the actual files I guess...a sort of Alias..
At least it works now. But it's sad that the latest itunes does more, but also does LESS...as I used to be able to burn SDll files. Now I'll have to convert all my files to AIFF, and mp3's as I assume my ipod video won't play anything but mp3's?

How do i use itunes server with itunes match?

Hi all,
I am using itunes server on my synology NAS. On my desktop i've always used itunes with match. How can I combine the two? In other words, how can i use itunes match with itunes server?
thanx

I don't know if you've already solved it yourself, but I had this problem too. Try signing out of iTunes Store under 'Settings', then signing back in with JUST your iTunes user name, with no '.mac' or '.me' suffix. If, for example, your usual sign-in method is '[email protected]' try using 'joebloggs'.
Worked for me.

Can I use iCloud as my library instead of using local storage? Would I be able to synchronize the music on my phone? and make CDs out of the my music in the icloud using itunes?

Many thanks JEM24 for your help. Ive just spent the best part of six hundred pounds on a new Sony Rx100m2 compact camera, so I have no interest in the Ipods camera at all really. I doubt Ill be watching many videos on it as Im very lucky in that I have a good Android tablet. Its more as a stock music player that Ill be buying the Ipod for, if indeed I do end up buying one. I dont like the idea of paying the exorbitant amount added for more memory space that Apple along with most other companies charge. In fact I read an article on this very subject just yesterday in the tech section of Flipboard. It stated in the article that in the case of the Iphone the actual cost of each additional gigabyte of storage to Apple et al is something in the order of 60p.. This is certainly not reflected in the price us the customer has to pay at the till.. Its for this reason primarily that Apple in particular, because their products do not allow adding expandable memory of your own in the form of cheap to buy cards, that nobody in their right mind buys the 64gig etc Iphones..I am aware that we are discussing my potential purchase of an Ipod Touch here but you see my point. Many thanks again though for helping me.

I tried to send it through gmail and the acct is a POP acct
I'm not concerned about sending to the long address list. I just can't get the email and window that says "cannot send emai using the server..." to go away. The default must be "retry", because although I cannot see the choices at the bottom of the window if I hit return it trys again... and then of course comes back with the very long pop up window that I cannot see the bottom of so I can tell it to quit trying...

Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

Can i use iCloud keychain with my own passwords and not with what is assigned and stored?

tammersalem wrote:) <-HDMI-> (HDTV)
My main concerns are:
-If I use iTunes on my main computer, will it then be available to Apple TV?
-If I use Apple TV to download will it be available to my Main computer?
-Can the Apple TV use a media server for storage over LAN (using NTFS Samab or otherwise)?
Basically iTunes feeds AppleTv with media either syncing (copying to it) or streaming live.
Media must be compatible with AppleTV.
AppleTV requires a proper iTunes instance running - it cannot access a NAS directly.
If you store media in a folder on a NAS and it's part of the computer iTunes library (just stored on the NAS vs internal/external drive), then when running iTunes makes this content available to AppleTV.
Data will travel:
NAS > network > iTunes > network to AppleTV
As the path is potentially slower than internal/external attached drive > iTunes > network > AppleTV, it may or may not work robustly for streaming.
If AppleTv is set to sync (it can also stream in this mode), when you purchase direct on AppleTV, the media should sync back to where the itunes library is stored (via iTunes) to keep things in sync and to allow you to backup the media.
You cannot drag/drop media to/from AppleTv across the network, nor can it directly access storage itself - iTunes is an essential cog in the wheel.
The majority of commercial 'in-built iTunes media servers' will not work directly with AppleTV as it has to be 'paired' with iTunes by entering a numerical code in iTunes and does not simply see 'shared libraries'.

I can not use CanoScan N670U with my Macbook pro. I download canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon website. It keep saying "the scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

I can not use CanaScan N670U with my Macbook Pro. I download Canoscan toolbox 4.1 from Cannon websit. It still keep saying "The scanner plug-in was not found". Please help

There is a solution (I'm running Snow Leopard on a Core2Duo iMac, but this problem arose when I was running Leopard on a G4 PowerBook too).
Problem:
You download the OS X driver for the scanner from Canon's site. I already had the CanoScan Toolbox (4.1) stored on an external drive.
You unzip the driver and run the VISE installer. After a search it finds your copy of Photoshop (and maybe even the CanoScan Toolbox), and you click to install on that/those location(s).
You get a couple of error messages, which you click through.
You restart your computer and try to run the scanner but you get an error that the driver is wrong or missing and the process will abort.
Solution:
BEFORE you restart, and with the installer package still open -
1. Copy the Into_CFMSupport_Login & Into_CMPrefs folders to
Applications : Canon Utilities
Applications : Canoscan Toolbox
and remove the prefix Into_ from each folder
2. Check whether the installer placed N067U_Library.shlb into the top level (not User level)
Library : CFMSupport
and if it didn't, move it there yourself
THEN restart, and try again. It worked for me (via Photoshop), but whether it will work for everyone, I don't know.

Can I use aperture 3 with 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo?

Can I use Aperture 3 with an imac with a 2.4 ghz intel core duo processor?

Yes. I still use a 2006 2.33 GHz C2D MBP with 3 GB RAM as a backup box, and it "works." Be aware that iMac is underpowered overall for Aperture usage, but some folks do OK with it (4 GB RAM minimum). Like DLS said, more RAM is better than less RAM. 8 GB RAM is generally appropriate, but I can even overload the 8 GB in my 2011 MBP when running an aggressive Aperture/Photoshop workflow.
Also the stronger the GPU the better, and an SSD is far far preferable to a hard drive for boot, because any page outs go to SSD instead of to the horribly slow 2.5" laptop drive.
