Export my entire aperture 3 library to snow leopard server?

Hi Folks,
How do I export my entire aperture 3 library to my snow leopard server (over ethernet). Im currently running out of space on my mac mini hard drive? I've had a look on the boards but there seems to be a confusion on the topic ranging from manually drag & drop then point Aperture to the new location or export masters?
Many thanks
Paul

Thanks for the replies.
I had been under the impression that I could safely work from the Mac Server. I want to ensure that I am not in danger of corruption/loss etc as the photo's serve my wooden toy box site. But having read the linked support article (many thanks for the link) I have purchased a FW 2Tb drive to work from.
Shuttersp33d - I'll follow your advice in this respect - thanks for the confirmation John.
Just to confirm Is it best to use the export masters function to free up the space on the Mac Mini.
Also I have a 2 Tb time capsule looking after the backups - will it back up the FW drive as a simple extension of the Mac Mini?

Wiped my entire macbook drive and now snow leopard won't install over snow leopard server, HELP!

I ordered, what I thought, was Snow Leopard a while ago because I was running Leopard and I wanted to get the app store so I could move onto Lion and then Mountain Lion. I ordered the disc over the phone and the woman sent me the Snow Leopard Server instead of just Snow Leopard, I didn't think much about it so I clean installed it and ran it on my unibody macbook for a while. I didn't see much use for the disc anymore seeing that everything was downloadable at this point, so I sold the disc on Ebay and carried on. The server edition started to slow my computer down due to all of its excess applications and what not, and I read online that Lion and Mountain Lion are also very slow on the old unibody Macbooks so I ordered a regular Snow Leopard disc, now available online, and tried to install it. My computer said Snow Leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard server so I went to disc utitlity and wiped my entire drive while the OS X Snow Leopard disc was running and trying to install. I went back to the install window and it still said OS X Snow leopard cannot be installed over Snow Leopard Server so I shut down my computer and tried to turn it back on and I all I got was a blinking folder with a question mark in it, what do I do????????
P.S. All of my content is backed up on an external harddrive so I am all good with that.

Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, 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.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
7. After formatting has finished quit DU and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.

Is Snow Leopard Server right for me?

I'm not sure if I need a server or not...
here are some of the things I like to accomplish
- Calendar Server, calendar for the entire family.. being able to set up appointments and others √
- iTune. We have 3 AppleTV in the house and I keep all my music on the Mini now, running iTunes and sharing turn on. I am streaming from my MacMini iTune to my AppleTVs. (Can I do this with server?)
- Run a DVD library software such as Delicious Library and other catalog softwares
- Ripping DVD
Can snow leopard server run non-server software such as iLife and iWork?
Please Help

Server and Client are IDENTICAL. If it is a Mac app, it runs on one and/or the other. Period.
If you can justify the added expense that is about the only question of difference.
I am doing it right now. My primary Mac is Unlimited Client 10.5.8 on a Dual 2.5Ghz G5. Works like a charm. Ripping, iTunes Sharing, et al.

I've got Snow Leopard Server, but don't need the server functions. What to do?

This is somewhat complicated, so please bear with me. My Mac Pro was running OS X 10.5 and required updating. But we have legacy Power PC apps (mainly FreeHand) that we want to continue using, even though Mountain Lion doesn't support them.
As a solution, I'm going to run Snow Leopard Server in emulation on Parallels 8 Desktop. I would rather have used plain old Snow Leopard instead of the server version, but Apple's EULA only allows 10.6 Server to run in emulation.
So, I got Snow Leopard Server and have used it to upgrade 10.5. Eventually, (once I get everything working properly), I'll upgrade that to Mountain Lion and use SL Server in Parallels emulation to run the old Mac apps we can't do without.
But I've run into a problem I didn't anticipate: I don't have a clue about running a server.
I'm having trouble setting it up so the other Mac user in my department can access a shared folder. Also, I want the login window to display the list of users, but that option is grayed out.
What I'd like to do is strip out all the server functions and just run as if 10.6.8 was a standard version of Snow Leopard, which I'm familiar with. If that's not practical, please explain how to get sharing to work since that's the main problem.
I've tried turning off the services listed in the Server Preferences (iCal, Mail, etc.) but that hasn't fixed the problems. I think there may be server functions running that I haven't found preventing me from fixing the problems. Or it could be something else entirely (as I said, no clue).

DON'T MAKE A MOUNTAIN (lion?) OUT OF A MOLEHILL!
Several points in response to your post, in chronological order, not necessarily in order of importance:
• It was a common Urban Myth that Snow Leopard (client's) EULA prohibited its virtualization in Lion or Mt. Lion on a Mac! That myth has been largely debunked in the last 18 months.
Here are detailed instructions on how to install Snow Leopard client into Parallels 7 or 8:
http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1365439
That being said, and being the author of the aforementioned thread, I STRONGLY recommend that, where possible, you use Snow Leopard Server in favor of Snow Leopard client. This will side step some later corruption problems that can arise from the improper use and shutting down of this Parallels partition.
Historically, this thread was written when Apple sold Snow Leopard Server for $499+ or ceased sales altogether. Now, Apple has rendered the (now diminishing) debate over the EULA moot, by its recent release of Snow Leopard Server to the US & Canadian community for $20; leaving those who cannot purchase SLS (or get someone to purchase it for them) to continue to follow the instructions in my thread (or asking me to purchase SLS for them and forward it to them; my preferred course of action!).
• I ALWAYS recommend that data files be stored on the real Mac's HDs and NOT in a virtualized world. This is easy to accomplish and establishes a backup regimine (Time Machine, etc.) that will protect the users data. Lost applications are easily restored from their installer discs.
• In practice I find that using SLS in Parallels 8 is the same as using SL client in Parallels. I have even removed the Server apps from the Dock so as to not be confused by them.
So, your solution is to establish a "shared folder" on the hard drive of the Mac that is hosting Parallels. When in SLS in Parallels you will have access to your shared folder, ironically through Parallels' "Shared Folders" feature that is now present in Mac OS Guest installs on version 8 (see the "Shared Folders" SERVER on the right side of the screenshot, below).
When using Freehand MX or other PowerPC apps, save your data files into your shared folder through access to it by Parallels' Shared Folders. Other users on your network will have access to the SAME data files, through their customary use of file sharing to access your shared folder from your Mac's hard drive.
IGNORE the Server applications in the Applications folder...

Complications migrating from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server.

I'm migrating from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server. The article "OS X Server: Upgrade and migration" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5381) says
"Make sure that any DNS or DHCP servers on which your server depends remain running during the upgrade"
This advice is reinforced by the details of the article "OS X Server: Steps to take before upgrading or migrating the Open Directory database" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5300).
As the server I'm migrating from provides these services it will need to be running during the migration process. This would seem to limit my options to doing the migration from a Time Machine backup (or, making a seperate clone of the server's drive and connecting it externally to the new box)
My main concern is the seemingly inevitable clash that is going to occur on the network as the new server takes on the roles of the old one - while it is still running.
What are my options here ?
This is my second attempt as on my first try I did the migration from the TM backup with the network down - and none of my local network users or their home directories were migrated, although the settings for the mount points were, but there were no actual directories where they pointed to!
Clear directions on how to procede would be VERY MUCH appreciated
Thank you.

Moving from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion means first installing the client (non-Server) version of Mountain Lion and then install Server.app this means that for at least part of the process you will not be running DNS, DHCP or Open Directory.
If you are going to end up using the same DNS name and IP address after the change then an approach you could follow would be as follows.
Destroy any Open Directory replicas
Archive your Open Directory Master (to make a backup)
Note down your DNS records in case they get messed up
Export via Workgroup Manager your users, and groups (you might not need this but better safe than sorry), make sure you do not include the diradmin account
Keep a full back of the server (you should always have backups)
Note down your DHCP server settings in case they get messed up
Note down any other service settings
Install Mountain Lion
Install Server.app
Install Workgroup Manager (extra free download)
Run Server.app
Make sure settings for services are as much as possible the same as before
If your lucky that may be all you need to do, otherwise...
Restore Open Directory archive, if your lucky that will be all you need to do, otherwise...
Make new Open Directory Master
Run Workgroup Manager
Import users and groups you previously exported
You will then have to set passwords for each user as these are not preserved via Workgroup Manager export
When I did this, I was also being forced to change all my IP addresses so I had no choice but to use Workgroup Manager to export and import accounts.

Question about changing a Snow Leopard Server network settings

We have an Xserve running Mac OS X Server 10.6.8, the primary services running on it are afp, smb, dhcp, dns, jabber and the calendar sever.
Right now we have a router connecting two networks together, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.1.0/24. The Xserve has a static IP address in the 192.168.0.0/24 range.
In order to combine two phone systems into one I am required to combine the above networks, this will involve removing the router and changing the subnet mask on every device from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.254.0, any device that is currently part of the 192.168.1.0/24 network will also need to have it's router setting changed from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1. That part should all be easy.
However, this is my first experience expanding a network past a standard class C and am wondering if there is anything I need to watch for on my Snow Leopard Sever.
Specifically I wonder about dhcp settings, right now there are two dhcp servers, the Xserve which provides dhcp for 192.168.0.0/24 and the router that provides dhcp for 192.168.1.0/24. Once the router is removed the Xserve will need to provide dhcp for the entire network.
Looking at the Xserve dhcp configuration right now I have one subnet defined providing addresses 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.125.
Can I simply click the + to add another subnet and add for instance a range of 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.125?
Will it simply give out all of the ip addresses in the first range and then start with the 2nd? Or do I need to find a single range of ip addresses large enough to meet my needs? (e.g. 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.225 or something).
Is there anythign else to watch for after making this type of network setting change?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for your very detailed reply.
I understand the problems that can arise using 192.168.0.x and 192.168.1.x and if this were a new project I would definitely switch to something else, however in this case we have been using these ip ranges for years (they were in use here long before I started) and I don't want to have to redo all of my dns settings at the same time I make these other changes so I'm going to stick with the same ip's we are using at least for now. Anyone here needing vpn access has already dealt with this issue but we have very few vpn users so it has not been a major problem for us to date.
My biggest question is about increasing the size of the dhcp pool. For instance, after I change all the network settings and set up a /23 network is it possible to have a single dhcp pool that includes some ip's in the 192.168.0.x range and others in the 192.168.1.x range? I guess what I am asking is when I am in Server Admin and click on DHCP one of the tabs across the top is "Subnets". Right now there is a single "subnet" configured that provides addresses from 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.125.
Ideally I would like one dhcp pool that provides ip's in the range of 192.168.0.5 to 192.168.0.125 and then if all of those are used up, moves to 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.125. Can I do that by simply adding another "Subnet" so there are two? Or do I have to find one larger single range? (e.g. 192.168.1.5 to 192.168.1.225?) You may have already answered this indicating I have to have a single larger range but I just want to be sure.
The parts about changing subnet masks, and routers and all that I think I have a pretty good understanding of.
Your last paragraph is something I have been worried about, I do have a feeling that after making this change there will probably be unforseen issues that will need to be resolved, I'm just hoping it is not too many. For the scope of this thread I will just focus on issues that may arise with the Snow Leopard Server however.
Again, thank you for your help.

Windows VNC clients cannot connect to Snow Leopard Server native VNC server

I am resurfacing the following related comment made in another post that discusses the same issue I am having with VNC on Snow Leopard. This is still an issue and I cannot connect to our Xserve's Snow Leopard Server with a VNC client on Windows.
I don't want to install another third party VNC server onto our SL Server, and am looking for a VNC client for windows that will connect to our SL Server.
Does anyone have any solutions?

Re: Newbie: Connect Windows -> OSX Server
Posted: Nov 4, 2009 9:26 AM in response to: Antonio Rocco
I would politely disagree. Yes, definitely, the Mac 'Screen Sharing' app works a treat, and Apple Remote Desktop.app works as well, but I am coming from a Window's PeeCee.
For me, connecting to my 10.5(.8) Server via tightvnc gives 'Server did not offer supported security type!". Using RealVNC to this machine states "No matching security types Do you wish to reconnect to ... ?" a telnet to this AppleVNCServer service (port 5900), shows RFB 003.889 *, or Remote Frame Buffer Major 3, minor 889.
Also, connecting to multiple 10.6(.1) Clients with Tightvnc correctly asks for a password but then hangs at "Status: Security type requested". Using RealVNC opens, connects, asks for authentication, and exits. Telneting to this AppleVNCServer service (port 5900), also shows RFB 003.889 *.
The Current Version of the protocol is supposed to be 3.8, that is Major version 3, minor version 8. Not 80 or 800 but Eight). http://www.realvnc.com/docs/rfbproto.pdf and I believe that tightvnc only supports up to version 3.7.
On each station I have installed the 'old' OSXVnc.app as a service (to a unique port). OSXVnc utilizes protocol 3.3 and I can control them successfully, but that is of my own doing because of this issue.
Now JollysFastVNC works a treat to any machine I have EVER tried to connect to. I have not tried COTVNC or any of the others (too slow for me, when they wer e around)
Also, I just noticed that RealVNC states that their free and personal version will not connect to Mac OSX (x86 and PPC) but the Enterprise one will. I just Dl'ed the Enterprise Viewer and it gave essentially the same thing ('protocol is not valid' message, even after it asks for a password). Anyway, I am not here to hijack this thread, just trying to keep the info flowing and open.
Maybe I am the only one with these problems but the bottom line is I cannot use Real or Tight, or UltraVNC to administer my server or clients as long as AppleVNCServer gives out the 003.889 protocol version.
Peter
* The ProtocolVersion message consists of 12 bytes interpreted as a string of ASCII characters in the format "RFB xxx.yyy\n" where xxx and yyy are the major and
minor version numbers, padded with zeros.

Searching on the net brought me to the same solution that Mr. Hoffman found as well, I was a bit skeptical at first but since he recommended it, and all my other attempts failed, it was a last resort and I have some additional notes of my own for a successful solution. Read the two links below first before doing anything, as they contribute to the solution in tandem.

Now, I'm reasonably certain that I have done nothing to cause this library to be missing;
as I am also reasonably certain that the mysql_config found in /usr/bin is one shipped by

If that also is true, does your /usr/lib actually contain an Apple-supplied libmysqlclient.*?
Now, assuming that my installation is reasonably close to what Apple actually shipped,
what should I do about it? Would I be better off to go find a source distribution,

Snow Leopard server, Lion clients

Good day I am running a 10.6.8 server (Mac Pro 2010) with 300 user account on it. At this time because out client computers needing compatibility with multiple applications upgrades we need to upgrade all out clients to 10.7.3. The decision has been made and I need to go with it. The server only runs user accounts, shared folders, Wiki and DNS. I am hesitant to upgrade the server to 10.7. I have attempted some quick searches for any issue with running 10.6.8 Server and 10.7 clients but it has not resulted in much.
What is the biggest issue I am going to be running into?
Will AFP still work with 10.7 clients?
Should I upgrade the server to 10.7 also?
What will I loose at this point upgrading everything?
Looking forward to what I can learn.

What is the biggest issue I am going to be running into?
What issues will you run into if you upgrade your clients to Lion, but leave your server on Snow Leopard? none. That's entirely valid.
Will AFP still work with 10.7 clients?
Yes
Should I upgrade the server to 10.7 also?
Not unless you specifically need some of the features in Mac OS X Lion Server, and absolutely not if you only have one server.
What will I loose at this point upgrading everything?
Probably several nights' sleep. Upgrading a server, and maintaining all the services without any downtime is a significant process. Snow Leopard Server doesn't stop running just because Lion is available, and it won't stop when Mountain Lion comes along, either.
If your mandate is to upgrade the clients, then do that, and take your time planning your server upgrade/migration.

Snow Leopard Server Netboot not working

Hello all,
I have been trying to build a Netboot server for a week now and it seems that I am doing something wrong. I have a MacPro tower running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8. It seems all of my services are running correctly. I Installed Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a client computer and configured it the way I need it. for testing purposes it is connect directly to the Server computer via Eehternet. I created the netboot image using the server image tool from the client hardrive in multiple ways
-from the cleint using the server tools and Server Image untility
-from the server using the Server Image Utility and the client in target mode.
I move the image into /Library/Netboot/NetBootSP0 ( this path was created by the server )
I can see my Netboot image on the client as a bootable disk, I select it and it just hangs on the silver Apple and spinny wheel. Below are the logs it generated. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

You'll be most likely to get help with this problem if you ask in the Mac OS X 10.6 Server forum:

Creating a versatile DNS and redirection service on Snow Leopard Server

For the few of us who use Snow Leopard Server as a main DNS for our small network, the following is a workflow that I would like to share with the board for creating redirection services to not just sites found on the locally hosted apache but also external sites.
+IF you are adding a second domain name, the reverse domain lookup will not appear and you will need to add a Machine/A record with the fully qualified domain "domainname.com." (don't forget the . at the end) into the new zone and it will point to the "server" Machine/A record ip address.+
*DNS Portion* : (ServerAdmin > DNS > Zones >
Add Zone > Primary > Create a fully Qualified Domain name and dns "server" in the Machine / A Record
Create the (add Record > Alias/ CNAME) subdomain pointing to the server.domainname.com e.g. (library)
*Web / Apache Portion :*
Create a new site (ServerAdmin > Web > Sites > Plus button)
With General > host name exactly as spelled in above subdomain in full (library.domainname.com)
Select Web Folder where the site is hosted
If you are creating a redirection, create a folder on the server, add an index.php (with the script below)
Add Alias with the same subdomain as number 2
_PHP script :_
<?php
$location = "http://example.net";
header("Location: ".$location, "301 Moved Permanently");
?>
// Edit the "http://example.net" to which ever e.g. "http://apple.com"
_Alternatively you can also mask the page with :_
<html>
<head>
<title>Same Title As Your Homepage</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeTitle()
if (top.frames['main'].document.title)
top.document.title=top.frames['main'].document.title;
</script>
</head>
<frameset>
<frame name="main" src="http://actual-url.anotherhost.com/page.html"scrolling="auto" target="main" ONLOAD="changeTitle();">
<noframes>
<body>
Place a suitable message here for people with browsers that can't read frames.
</body>
</noframes>
</frameset>
</html>

Ok, local DNS services (unicast DNS) are typically straightforward to set up, very useful to have, and can be necessary for various modern network services, so I'm unsure why this is even particularly an open question. Which leads me to wonder what other factors might be under consideration here; of what I'm missing.
The Bonjour mDNS stuff is certainly very nice, too. But not everything around supports Bonjour, unfortunately.
As for being authoritative, the self-hosted out-of-the-box DNS server is authoritative for its own zone. That's how DNS works for this stuff.
And as for querying other DNS servers from that local DNS server (or, if you decide to reconfigure it and deploy and start using DNS services on your LAN), then that's how DNS servers work.
And yes, the caching of DNS responses both within the DNS clients and within the local DNS server is typical. This also means that there is need no references to ISP or other DNS servers on your LAN for frequent translations; no other caching servers and no other forwarding servers are required.

Updating Snow Leopard Server Software on Dual Intel Mac Mini

I have a 2009 Mac Mini Dual Core 2.53 Intel with 4 gb Ram running as a server under 10.6.8 Max OSX Server.
But I have never used the server capabilities and don't reallyneed them.
The Boss, Wife, wants ITunes radio on it, but it won't work apparently unless you run 10.9.
I tried updating to 10.9 server, but it wouldn't downlaod because the downloader said it needed to run under OSX 10.9.
I am trying to download Mavericks to see if it'll install, but I'm guessing the server level security won't let it.
How can I update to OSX 10.9 Server to basically keep her system as "same" as possible...so ITunes radio will work on it for her?
Is there an easy way other than copy as much as possible to another HD, reformat the entire original Mini HD and start from scratch?
I don't know if I can install another OS on it's second internal HD and just boot up from that one..since I think the server systen may not allow multiple boot drives?
Is there an easy solution to updateing Snow Leopard Server to Mavericks?

Help appreciated Greatly.
I downloaded Mavericks with no problem and held my breath to see if it would install OK.
It did.
No major issues and just about everything is working OK right out of the box.
Transition from Snow Leopard Server to OSX Mavericks Single User OS went fine.
Donlt have to worry about archane "Server Language" anymore and administerring this computer will be much easier.
Hope it's a stable build.

VPN Server in Snow Leopard Server not accepting connections

I've got some issues with a new Snow Leopard Server, running on a Mac mini Server, and VPN.
I have a Linksys WRT310N performing router duties. I have enabled the VPN Passthrough in the router's configuration pages (IPSec, PPTP and L2TP all Enabled). In the Applications and Gaming section, I have enabled ports 1723 (TCP and UDP) and 1701 (TCP and UDP) to go through to the mini Server. In order to have the VPN Passthrough enabled, I have to have the SPI Firewall enabled on the router.
I have both PPTP and L2TP enabled on the Server. When I first tested it, everything worked.
Within 24 hours, it stopped working, and I can't work out why.
On the Server, I can see in the logs the following messages: (server name and IPs changed to protect the guilty)

Well, this didn't last long. The VPN is already down. Cannot connect to it again.Very Frustrating.
I know the actual server is receiving the requests (Server Log):

I have a call with Apple Support this afternoon. Hopefully it will be fruitful. If I get anywhere, I will post it. If anyone has any bright ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.

Big Project: Upgrade to Snow Leopard Server and new drive

Hi guys, with my early 09 Mac Pro (with maxed RAM) I need some advice. I am a guy who sticks with things for a long time, cautious about change, and likes consistency.
So, I have a copy of Snow Leopard SERVER I want to install from scratch. I also have 4 WD 1tb black caviar drives I want install -- replacing the current startup 640 gb drive. How would I best accomplish the backup of my current data on this smaller drive and then restore it onto the new 1tb drive?
I give you the following objectives I have for the use of these 1tb drives on the system and would appreciate any other advice you might have to offer.
1) I envision using two of the drives as primary, and the other two as backups using TimeMachine.
2) I would like to have the following partitions on the startup drive (#1).
a)one boot partition for installation of Server OS and Application programs.
b)one boot partition for future Mac OS installations.
c)one data partition to house the /Users filesystem - 4 named users in household who share two macbooks.
d)one or more partitions for separate deployments of Guest OSes for XP, Window 7, etc. using Parallels.
3) As far as partition sizes, I am thinking 50 Gb for each of the MacOS bootables and apps, 100 Gb for the Guest OSes. Leaving about 500 or 600 Gb for /Users, including an iTunes library, and the wife's scrapbooking.
4)Ok, drive #2. I want this drive dedicated to demanding storage needs of video.
5)Drive #3. TimeMachine Backup for Drive #1.
6)Drive #4. TimeMachine Backup for Drive #2.
Thoughts? I appreciate your questions and critique on my outline here.
Thanks much!

Off load /users to another hard drive
don't use internal drives for TimeMachine, especially both. Safer to be external. And if internal, use extra drive sleds.
Depending on what you use it for, the 640 might be fine. Maybe use it as a bootable clone though.

Export my entire aperture 3 library to snow leopard server?
