Copying ARD preferences and computer lists on a server
Sorry tried a search but couldn't find anything.
I would like to share the preferences and computer list to more users on the server. Is there an easy way to do this without having to manually copy the prefs and install them on the account?
Hi Francisco Munoz,
thanks to answer and help me,
sincerely i dont know the Os of the server i will ask at my boss here instead i use a laptop with Vista ,DUal Core 2 Ghz,2 Gb DDR....
Im trying to know the best way to project my database,before i read some news and if i use Oracle to project Database and after another software like Visual Studio to build Form and report and send whole work on the server,i dont know if it is right but im trying to understand clear the right way to start my project (i repeat i did not get knowledge about that).
I will use Oracle and Visual Studio but if you got some advice or idea dont hesitate to tell me.
I will buy (or better my company work )a Oracle product following a your advice .
Now i look the link above that you sent me to understand better about Oracle.
Thanks so much
I wish you happy work.
Ciao Ciao

Copying mail Preferences and Library from an eMac to an iMac Intel
I have copied the Preferences and the Mail folder of Library from en eMac to an iMac Intel.
The accounts appears but not the mailboxes I had in the eMac.
Could anybody help me please?guillermo,
You may have to rebuild the Index. Within the folder <home>/Library/Mail there is a file "Envelope Index". Close Mail and then using Finder, move that file to the desktop and then re-open Mail. This will cause Mail to re-create the "Envelope Index" which will hopefully cause your mailboxes to be visible. If that works then you can move the file "Envelope Index" from the Desktop to the Trash.
Post back with the results.

Controlling Preferences on Computer List Doesn't Work
Hi All,
I'm sure I am doing something dopey, but I can't figure out what.
I have an Xserve running Server OS 10.4.11 and a lab on a subnet, 17 clients running OS 10.5.7. These computers are connected to en1 via a switch, and receiving IP addresses via DHCP (in the 192.168 range). Share points work fine, as does web accesses and network user accounts.
There are two computer lists in the room - one is for a "teacher station," and the other 16 machines are on a seperate "Lab" computer list. On the "teacher station," when I open Directory Utility, I enter the name of the server, it finds it right away and preferences are controlled. All is well.
However, the other clients' Directory Utility cannot find the OD master. Further, when I am in "Workgroup Manager," I note that if I browse for clients using the "..." button, none of those 16 iMacs appear in the list. I added the machines manually, entering their MAC addresses, but it does not appear to be effective.
I am looking to see what is different between the teacher station and the 16 student machines and can only see one thing, which is the NetBIOS name - for the student machines, it is identical ("lab") but since there is no Windows anywhere to be found in the setup, I don't understand why this would be the issue. Nor do I understand where I would make this change if I needed to - changing it locally is not effective, and it is all "dimmed" or "greyed out" anyway.
What am I missing?
Many thanks!Can you reduce it down to a 20-line test case? If so, post it.

Is there any way to copy Mail preferences and settings
While trying to defrag my HDD using Drive Genius it corrupted some file and rendered my HDD useless and was forced to install a new HDD. The problem that I have right now is wetting up my mail account (fortunately) I have a month old backup, can any body tell what files I need to copy from my backup to be able to have my mail work for me.
if u r goin to format ur hdd u hav 2 backup 2 things......
one is ur mail folder(user/library/mail) and com.apple.mail.plist(user/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist)
make a copy of these files and then no worries - all ur mails and mail settings will be safe. after formatting u dont have to reconfigure ur mail, just copy and paste mail.plist to preferences folder (replace it) and if all mails are not showing up import ur mail folder.
saving network plist wont help...... -

P DaveJRV,
I can understand that, 1stly I am not a scripting guy, I know very very basic of this,
2ndly, I need help , I am not asking anyone here to write code for me, I have already wrote that but its not doing which its suppose to do,
check below screen shot, after running suggested script, it has mapped drive ,
now I do not want to do that, I want just files to copy from that machine to my machine, and want script which I can run from any PC,
Tried with UNC PATH as well, but not making any difference, its keep mapping that server drive to my computer

P Dave
Bill - he still sees that "connection" although it isn't mapped it is attached temporarily.
P - Log off and log back on and the attached connection will be gone. It is temporary. Again - knowing the basics of WIndows would let you know this.
We have given you all of the answers that are possible. There is no other way unless you have installed things like PowerShell and PowerShell remoting or an FTP server.
If you do use a drive it can be just as easily deleted after you have finished the copy.
Again: "NET USE /?" will tell you all of the options.
Saying you know nothing is not an excuse for not thinking or looking more deeply into the suggestions made by those trying to help you. This is not a MIcrosoft support forum or help desk. It is a forum for admiinistrative scripting and assumes
that those coming here are technically trained or experienced in the basics of Windows technology.

Managing the Mobility preference at the computer list level
Hi,
I'd like to get a confirm about my understanding of the role of the Mobility preference in computer lists.
Since the Mobility preference could be managed at the computer list level, it has effect both on the clients' local and network accounts. I tried to manage the preference for a computer list that contains clients with only local accounts and set it to "Synchronize account for offline use".
I saw no effect on clients' local account, but I think this is expected because portable home directories requires a network home folder to be set, and obviously local accounts cannot have it set.
Could anyone confirm?
If the above reasoning is correct, the only point of managing the Mobility preference at the computer lists level is to allow or disallow network users with network home folders to create mobile accounts on specific computers.
Am I right?
TIA.I tried to

How can I move my preferences and extensions to a new computer? Have I done it successfully?
My old computer crashed. I've set up the new computer. I copied all the profile files/folders to the profile on the new computer in both the local and roaming folders.
Does this copy over my preferences and extensions? The help pages say they don't tell how to copy those since they can be the cause of problems. However, they weren't problems. So I want them copied. The extensions folder on the old computer was empty (I don't recall if It'd had any installed or just bookmarked some.) I remember making some specific preferences changes in that "advanced" file (that worked fine afterward.)
So with what I did, did I successfully copy everything over? If not - where are the extensions and preferences so that I can copy them over?
Bonus big question - is there a way to merge my old browsing history with the history on the new computer that I used for 10 days? Right now I set those 10 days as a separate profile, so I can save and go check it if I really need to.
Thanks!Take the good profile and copy it to the new computer. Also copy all
of your add-ons. On the new computer, start Firefox. Once it is running,
shut it down. Then transfer the information from the old profile to the new.
Thess add-ons can save all add-ons into a single folder for transfer.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox
'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/febe/ FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension)]''' {web link}
FEBE allows you to quickly and easily backup your
Firefox extensions, history, passwords, and more.
In fact, it goes beyond just backing up -- It will actually rebuild
your saved files individually into installable .xpi files.
It will also make backup of files that you choose.

Help. My Apple TV won't sync with my computer. I've done all the troubleshooting tips, but Apple TV doesn't show up in my Preferences under devices.
2. Reconnect Apple TV to iTunes.
Choose iTunes > Preferences (Mac) or Edit > Preferences (Windows), click Apple TV, and make sure "Look for Apple TVs" is selected.
I see no option to select "look for Apple TV's" in Preferences, and there is no device list at all in my sidebar.
3. If Firewall is on in Mac OS X (in the Sharing pane of System Preferences), make sure iTunes Music Sharing is selected.
There is no option to select iTunes Music Sharing in my System Preferences - see screenshot
I've updated all software, restarted Apple TV, my wireless router, and my computer. Both my computer and the Apple TV are connected to the same wireless network and both are operating properly. They just wont connect to each other.
Does anyone have any suggestions?FIRSTLY: bookmark following for further reference (it describes basic setup, both to link for syncing and to stream - from any computer.)
Apple TV (1st generation): Differences between syncing and streaming" )
Now as to your problem: If you check under "Computers" in the "Settings" menu you will most likely see the name of your iTunes library Greyed out. IF that's the case, you'll basically need to re-setup your ATV., you can do so as follows (instructions are intentionally over described, but basically your disconnecting then reconnecting your ATV1. Downside (which seems to come with all methods is that you'll have to resync all your media)
**A (not ideal but effective solution)
If ATV 1 had been working but suddenly 'disappeared" from iTunes sidebar
The following solution will almost surely work to regain your ability to Sync:
QUIT iTunes
Select "Computers" from "Settings" Menu.
Select your "greyed out" iTunes library.
This will bring up a window named "Disconnect from iTunes"
You're now given the choice to Cancel, or disconnect. WITH THE WARNING that if you disconnect any content synced with iTunes, will be erased. (in fact it will be removed from your ATV but not your computer)
Assuming ALL of your media IS on your computer, Go ahead and disconnect.
Follow instructions in the Apple doc above about setting up your ATV as a paired computer.
After you ATV gen1 reappears in the sidebar. Reset all your desired syncing preferences,
Begin syncing.
All will be fine again, (at least till the next time this occurs.) I've had to do this twice this year.
ALTERNATELY:
SHARING (a QUICKER, less destructive TEMPORARY solution (if you just want to play your media now)
You CAN set your computer to Share by following instructions in the same doc under the heading:
"How to connect to a shared computer"
HOWEVER, this will not allow you to sync info.
I've read alternate solutions on this board, one involved changing the name of your iTunes Library etc... you may wish to try this first (if it applies) https://discussions.apple.com/message/17943841?ac_cid=142432#17943841
What I'd like to know: What causes this problem... I'm suspecting iTunes updates, or any iTunes database issues or crashes. Or maybe too many visitors connecting to your other Apple devices (ATV 2 for example) or heck the weather in Guatemala... -
I've just found the keyboard shortcut in Garageband for 'copy region' had changed from cmdC to ctrlC. I went to Preferences and clicked Restore Defaults for shortcuts. Now its altC . How can I get it back to the original commands.
When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

I just bought Lion from the app store and I was wondering how long it will be there for because you can't buy a hard copy of it and I was told they were fazing it out so if my computer crashes and I need to install it again will it still be there??
FWIW, your profile shows that you are already on Lion - did you buy Mountain Lion?
If you purchase an OS from the Mac App Store, it will be listed under your Purchases and will be available to download again if you need it. Note: the license is only for you and is not transferable; if you sell your Mac, you must uninstall it and reinstall the original system.
If you did buy Lion - out of curiosity - since it is no longer showing in the app store, how did you buy it there? Or did you call Apple and they sent you a redemption code? -
Force Clients to connect to my Mac and "join" my computer list
Hi ARD users,
I am not able to scan our network for ARD clients because the scanning only works in my vlan. But we have a lot of vlans here. I can not reach the Macs in all the other vlans with the scanner. Of course it is possible to get them one after another with their IP- address but I don't know the addresses of all those (few hundred) clients. So after scanning I have only 'round 20 macs there.
So here is my question:
Is it possible to force the clients (e.g. with a script that we could distribute via FileWave, or kickstart or task-server) to connect to MY computer and "jump" into my computer- list?
Just an idea... But any comment would be appreciated, so
Thank you in advanceHi, thanks for the reply,
I' m not sure what you mean. I see that in the smart lists I will be able to sort/ filter macs that already are in my computer list. There' s an option to search for IP-addresses, but only for macs that are in the list already. I think that you mean I could sort them for the different vlans then. Of course, that would be possible, but doesn' t help with my problem.
To scan ranges across subnets... I don' t see a solution. How do you mean I could do this? We have the vlans from 10.99.1.* to 10.99.150.*. In the scanner I can give a range from 10.99.1.1 to 10.99.1.254 and scan, although MY mac is in 10.99.104.x. But then I have to give the next range: 10.99.2.1 to 10.99.2.254 and so on. For 150 of such nets it' s not very cool. It' s not possible to give an "*" symbol or so, so, are you sure it should be possible?
Thank you for your help -
Hi folks, you might know how to fix this: my wifi shows (no hardware installed) then I went to system preferences and deleted the wifi connection, I went also to system information and I can not see wifi listed on Network, how can I create a new wifi or simply solve this, I have tryied shotdown pressing keys like P and R, option, etc. Please help me .
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -
I am having trouble setting up icloud on MAC. In system preference it is listed as mobile me, it asks for member name and password. It also has a learn more button under "try mobileme for free". I am not getting anywhere
It's evident that you are using Snow Leopard or earlier (or very early Lion) since you have the now obsolete MobileMe preference pane.
The minimum requirement for iCloud is Lion 10.7.5 (Mountain Lion preferred): the iCloud Preference Pane does not appear on earlier systems - the MobileMe pane appears on Lion and earlier but is non non-functional - you cannot now open or access a MobileMe account.
To make use of iCloud you will have to upgrade your Mac to Lion or Mavericks, provided it meets the requirements.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Mavericks (10.9.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Mavericks are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications).
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
If you are running Leopard on an Intel Mac you will have to upgrade to Snow Leopard to access the Mac App Store - it's available in the online Apple Store. However if you have a PPC Mac you cannot run Snow Leopard and cannot proceed further. -
how do I keep the classic look ? I go to mail preferences and click the button but when I launch mail again it is still in the list view which I hate. Anyone know ?
The first thing to try if a setting does not "keep" is a PRAM reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
Change the setting to what you want, then PRAM reset on restart:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
