Converting a Server Back to a Regular Computer

Greetings!
I have an apple desktop that was being used as a server. I'm looking to convert it back to a regular computer but am not sure how to go about doing this. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!

What kind of server are you talking about and what does this have to do with software development?

Both Chrome and Finder seemed to freeze, so I restarted the computer. When the restart finished, I was in recovery mode. How do I get back to my regular login screen?

It starts up and asks for a language. After English, it goes to the OS X Utilities screen. I have gone to disk utility and verified the disks. They both say they are okay. If I click repair, it comes back with an error saying "Live file system repair is not supported." I just want my computer back to normal! Please help! I am still in Mavericks if it matters.

Do you have a backup? If so, in the Recovery Partition go to Disk Utility/Erase, select Mac OS Extended (Journaled), click Option GUID, and erase the disk. Then re-install the OS. Reboot and use Setup Assistant to recover your data.

Convert text path back to regular path

I accidentally converted a path to a text path. I searched the forum for how to convert it back to a regular path. The answer I found said to select the path and hit Command+C+F. This gives me another text path! I now have at least 6 copies of the path in my files but they are ALL text paths and none are visible with a stroke. Any ideas?

The "disconnected paths" element is confusing. Is this file an ai file, or is it possibly a pdf? If pdf, then there may be NO type path to select, as pdf often places each letter as individual type elements. Is this what you are experiencing? If so, locate the originating AI file.
To select a type path using the Direct Select tool (if it is indeed a type path), on Mac, hold down the option key while clicking on the path (away from the type itself).

MacMini server used as regular computer ?

I love the specs on the new MacMini server, and want to buy one. I see it comes with server software, and I know absolutely nothing about the Lion server software. I want to use this MacMini as a regular computer - I want to use it's first hard drive for Mac OSX, and the second hard drive to put Windows 7 on (running on bootcamp, directed from the first hard drive). However I know nothing of Lion server software. Can I disable the server part of Lion server, and use it as a regular computer, or do I have to wipe the server software off and put regular Lion or snow leopard OSX on it ? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

When you first start up the Mini Server, simply do not
enable any of the server services. And if you do by
accident do that, you can simply open the Server App
and disable it from there.
BTW, it does make a pretty nice workstation. Using one
myself with a Thunderbolt display. Also, if you decide to
get one, upgrade it to 8 gig right away. I put the following
in mine and works just fine and is currently only $40.99.

Logged into temporary profile how do i get back to my regular profile?

WHen I log into my desktop PC it takes for ever to get to the start page. It says it is preparing windows. After finally getting past this page it does one of two things.
1. It goes to a all blue screen, When it does this I have to shut my computer off and reboot it. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 times til it takes me to my start screen,
2. When i am able to get to the desk top screen i get a message saying that I am logged into a temporary file. Then i get a promt to click here to enter your most recent password(important). I do not know where to go when i click on that link.
How do i get back to my regular account and off this temporary mode? Can anyone help me with this please>

CarterFamily,
Essentially, unless something odd is going on, the issue might be an incorrect Registry key entry. If that is the underlying cause of the problem, then correcting the Registry should allow you to recover your profile.
You might try the the following fix.
Find, Open, and follow the procedure in the file named: Temporary Profile Error

I realise there have been a number of threads like this now that I have started looking, the problem is the back-ups i made were saved to a server network which has now also gone down, a case of dreadful luck really. Is there any other way to get the music back?

How do I copy the entire contents of my laptops failing hard drive to copy back onto a new computer.

How do I copy the entire contents of my laptops failing hard drive to copy back onto a new computer.

If the drive has failed the only way to get any data off it is to send it to a Data Recovery company. Which is very expensive and no guaranty they will be able to retrieve any data.
That is why Apple has included a system to backup your Mac on a regular basis, Time Machine. Also there are other Apps to do basically the same thing by Cloning your internal drive to an external drive. Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper. Along with using Disk Utility to Image the internal drive to an external drive.
Sorry to tell you but if the drive has really failed your Data is gone unless you pay a large sum of money to one of the Data recovery companies.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONVERT DATA SERVER EXAMPLE INTO DLL AND CALLING IT FROM VC++

Hi;
I have a real time implementation that runs in my PXI machine. Then I have a front panel running on a different computer (host) that reads the outputs of the real-time machine and plots them. The output of the real-time machine is a 2d array. What I am trying to do is take this data and send it to my C++ application. To do that I am considering sending the data to a specific port on my host machine using the data server example (2d version of it). To this end, I am considering converting this server into a Labview dll and read its output in my C++ code.
I am wondering if this can be done?
If yes Could you please provide me a little code as to how to read the outputs of this Labview dll in c++?
Is there any tutorial as to how to create a Labview dll for Labview 2009?
Thank you so much!

Server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally

I set up a VPN incoming call from a Windows XP server at home and I have an iMac in the office with Snow Leopard 10.6.5.
I manage to connect to VPN to the Windows XP server at home but everytime I Connect To Server to the IP address, it always comes back with an error: "Server is available on your computer. Access the volumes and files locally".
Um... where is this volumes and files? The Finder does not have it. Going to Terminal and ls the Network directory comes up empty.
Can anyone help? How can I connect to a Windows server via VPN?
Thanks.

Several volumes and folders have been shared and they are accessible within LAN. The problem is that I cannot even connect to the server, even though the connection has been established. Mac OS X always seems to think that it has already been connected and they are readily available but it's not listed under Network.
Looking at other topics, this seems to be a prevalent problem but I don't find any solution for this yet.

Convert to "Server Admin" and turn off "Server Preferences"?

OK, for some reason, the dialog that offered for me the opportunity to convert from "Server Preferences" to "Server Admin" has stopped being displayed, and I want it back. Or I want to run the program that does the conversion.
Any suggestions?

You might have better luck in the OS X Server community. I'll ask the hosts to move your post.

HT1349 im not using my regular computer - it's in storage- will I lose all the bookmarks, contacts etc that are stored on that computer?

I cannot get to my regular computer as it is in storage, and therefore cannot back anything up. If I change over to icloud using someones else's computer will I lose all bookmarks, contacts and all things on the computer in storage?

You have a question for the iCloud support folks, I would imagine.
We handle questions about the Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express in this area. If you have a question about one of those products.....we can probably help.

Security database on the server doesn't have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship

Hi,
in our windows server 2008 R2 standard , we are facing this error "Security database on the server doesn't have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship " on an regular basis. we have did below mentioned teps to solve the issue
1. Disjoin the system from Domain & joined it again.
2. tested the computer secure channel connection.
3. checked the DNS settings of server
4.checked the computer account in AD which disabled or not.
Everything was ok but after doing changes again after 2 - 3 days we are facing same error message.
Please help to sort the issue on an urgent basis.

When the error happen, can you check the computer account in your AD's console (with advanced feature at on), to check the date it was updated and if the SID is the same ? (objectSID and pwdLastset)
I guess someone try to domain join a computer with the same name, and flush your computer account at the same time.

Last backed up to this computer : unknown

Keep getting this message in iTunes with my phone connected by USB. Sync seems to go fine. Do I have a backup somewhere in itunes or on the iMac? Do not know where to look. iTunes is 10.6.3

Hi There, I'm having a problem with my iPhone 4 where the "last backed up to this computer" date will not update. It says I last backed up in April 2011, but I regularly instigate the backup process.. I'm concerned that it is not backing up, so if I go to iOS6, I may lose data!
Any help appreciated. Cheers.

Printing what's on IPad screen through regular computer

Is there a way that I can hook my IPad up to my regular computer and print what's on my IPad screen through my regular computer?

If you have a Mac, Printopia would be worth a look. Fingerprint is another option that is available for both Mac OS X and Windows system. You could also consider an AirPrint-capable print server. Lantronix makes a couple of models, including one that supports a USB printer:

As to printing the screen, the iPad has no direct printscreen feature, but you can take a screen shot:

and then either print that from your iPad or transfer that to your computer for editing/printing.

HT201250 I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was?

I use Time Machine to back up my entire computer with my external hard drive. I am getting a brand new iMac this month and was wondering what is the process of using this back up to restore my new computer exactly how my old computer was? I want to make sure I will still have various important files on my new computer, like my songs in iTunes, my photos in iPhoto, etc, etc. Thanks so much in advance!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
When you turn on the new iMac for the first time, Setup Assistant will ask you to restore a backup, so connect the external disk and follow steps to restore all your files to your new iMac. Your new Mac will have the same settings and programs as your old computer.
In other cases, I would recommend to restore the whole backup without using Migration Assistant or Setup Assistant, but a Late 2012 iMac uses a special OS X build, so the OS X version that you're using on your old Mac won't work on the new one.
