Getting support on installation of server 1.2v3

Hello. In addition to my MDD mac which I use everyday, I am planning on using my sawtooth G4 500 as a server machine. I just purchased a whole box set of the Mac OS X Server 1.2v3(looks like mac os 9 or 8). I am having extreme trouble installing this thing. Although, the copyright date of the program is from 2001, for a fee, would Apple SOS support be able to assist me in getting this thing to work? I tried to follow in good faith the directions for getting this thing to work, but to no avail. I keep getting an error: ROOT DEVICE? when I boot from the cd once I have partitioned my drive with mac os extended + reserved some space for the server install. Can someone please shed some light on if Apple can assist me in getting past ROOT DEVICE error? and finally getting to the set up screen?

I agree completely with Camelot: don't even go there.
Server 1.2v3 has nothing to do with any current version of OS X, server or client.
You would do better to put (Yellow Dog) Linux on there, at least you'd be learning
something relevant - re: Linux, KDE, bash, X11, etc.

If you want it to be OS X Server, then yah, take that box back and save yourself really a waste of time and tremendous headaches that will largely lead you to what are now complete dead-ends for that product. Get 10.3 server, but even better, maybe think about a way (in your setup) to run server on your MDD: 10.4 server will run on a MDD G4 just fine, I was doing that for the past couple of years. Put enough RAM in it, and put new hard drives in it, and you'll have an enjoyable experience instead of... pointless pain.

    I am trying to install DPM 2012 R2 and one of the pre-reqs is to run 'DPM Remote SQL Prep' before kicking off the DPM installation. My SQL server is 2012 SP1 and when I select this option, I get an error straight away telling me 'System Center 2012

    What I don't understand is this:  I originally bought and installed Photoshop CS6 back in March 2013, and it worked fine.  Yesterday my hard drive had to be replaced and my computer person salvaged as much of what was on it as he could, but now I have to reinstall Photoshop.  1) Why did it work before and it's not working now?  2) Is there anything I can do that does not involve reformatting the hard drive?

    It means what it says. The "computer person" formatted it wrongly/ unsuitably. it needs to be formatted again.

    Thanks,

    Hi Thangakumar,
    In Reporting Services Web service, there are two endpoints available for managing objects on a report server, ReportServer2005 and ReportServer2006. The
    ReportService2005 endpoint is used for managing objects on a report server that is configured for native mode. The ReportService2006 endpoint is used for managing objects on a report server that is configured for SharePoint integrated mode. From you description,
    your Reporting Services runs in native mode, but ReportService2006.asmx is used for SharePoint integrated mode. If you need to call Reporting Services Web service in native mode, please change the address to:
    http://<serverName>/ReportServer/ReportService2005.asmx
    If you need to call Reporting Services Web service in SharePoint integrated mode, please change the address to:
    http://<Server Name>/<Site Name>/_vti_bin/ReportServer/ReportService2006.asmx

  • 5800 XM - Ovi Suite Support Software Installation ...

    Hi guys
    Have an 5800 running v50 software and recently tried to check for an update to 51. Phone is not locked to any network or anything - in fact recently flashed by service centre due to locking up.
    Anyway always used PC Suite for updates but now says use Ovi Suite.
    However since then although I can sync etc in Ovi Suite I get the Support Software Installation Failed message on the PC.
    Any idea's how to fix this and what in effect it does (I have been able to sync and just finished downloading some new maps).
    Cheers
    WJUK
    ps - Also noticed that Ovi Store wouldn't work on 5800 (said connection error) so uninstalled and re-installed via Ovi store link and that seems to be ok now - not sure if anything is connected.

    Please try either to update the Nokia Software Updater to the latest version from Nokia.com or uninstall the Nokia Ovi Suite and PC Connectivity Solution from Windows Control Panel (Programs and Features) and then reinstall Nokia Ovi Suite 2.2.1.23.
    Please THANK me by clicking on the ****WHITE STAR** ( Giving KUDOS) the big GREEN BOX to your LEFT .
    It will help me to serve you better !!!!!

  • Mac OS X Server 1.2v3 woes

    Hello.. I was wondering if Apple still provides support in other words, paid support for older versions of mac os x server? In this case, I keep getting this blasted ROOT DEVICE come up when I try to install MAC OS X SERVER 1.2V3 ON MY POWER MAC G4 500 MHZ SAWTOOTH. I purchased a $100 license and the software, however I can't get the blasted thing to install!!!
    I am about to pull all my hair out of my head, then shoot myself in the foot!

    Nadav-
    You are the only person in the world who wants an old version of Server software. Most operations that need a server are running the latest \[10.5] or next-to-the-latest \[10.4]. There is no market for older versions than that. New versions with unlimited users cost US$1000. So only serious users buy it. There are not so many copies around. The software uses a serial-number system. If you get the discs, but no serial number, it will not run.
    Mac OS X Server 10.2, 10.3, or 10.4 will install and run on any G3 on which you can install the same-numbered version of Mac OS X. You can install some newer unsupported versions using popular cheater programs. I have installed 10.3 Server on Beige G3s for use by Not-for-Profit Organizations that could not afford anything more expensive. Most uses for Server are I/O problems, not compute problems, so a fast computer in not needed, just fast Disk Access. When you have multiple Servers tied together, the high-availability of the XServe and XServe RAID are very desirable.

  • RE: Support Pack installation

    Hi,
    I'm not a BASIS Consultant. But I'm trying to install a Support pack in the BW System.
    Here are the steps that I'm following. But there is some issue with the support pack installation. Can anyone guide me where I'm wrong.
    Basically I'm trying to install the SP6 for the BW system so that I can install the BPC 7.5 NW SP6 on the BPC side.
    1. SAINT
    2. Load packages from the FrontEnd
    3. Selected the package, open, decompress.
    4. the file is extracted to the C:\usr\sap\trans\EPS\in folder.
    5. run>cmd>SAPCAR -xvf K-75006INCPMBPC.SAR
    6. The file is extracted to the C:\usr\sap\trans\EPS\in folder as CSR0120031469_0050776.PAT
    7.Then I click on Installation Package>Load Package>From Application Server
    8. This is the message that I'm getting.
    Message Text     OCS file already exists in inbox. Upload not required.
    9. I do not know where I need to correct myself. Is there any guide or can You show me where I should search about the SP6 installation on the BW system.
    Thanks,
    Siri.

    Hi Very sorry for the late reply.
    We used T-code SPAM for upgrading the SPAM level to 43
    We are on BW 7.01 SP5
    Now we were able to install the Support Packs.
    When I go into the
    1.SPAM
    2. Imported Suport Packages
    3. Display
    4. Under CPMBPC
    5. It shows SAPK-75008INCPMBPC  CPMBPC 750:  Support Package 0008
    With this I assume that the BPC 7.5 NW System has the Support pack 8.
    Then I uninstalled the BPC Server by going into the Add/Remove Programs.
    Then I downloaded the BPC 7.5 NW Files   BPCSERVER08_0-10009080.EXE  and  BPCSERVER08P_2-10009080.EXE
    I installed them on the server where the BPC is installed.
    Everything is fine until now.
    But when I'm trying to restore the SAP_IFRS Appset,  (BPCNWSKIFRS00_1-20007298.RAR) , these were the steps followed as per the guide.
    1. T-code  UJBR
    2. Select the Appset from the Front end.
    3. Named the Appset as SAP_IFRS
    4. Selected the 3 checkboxes 
       (a) Restore Metadata Tables
       (b) Restore Master Data
       (c) Restore Transaction Data
    5. Selected the Record Count to 0
    6. Hit F8

  • How to get new iTunes installation to "recognize" library on different drive

    I had two hard drives on my PC - call them A:\ and B:\.
    iTunes was installed on A:\.
    A:\ was limited in storage capacity, so at some point I moved my iTunes library to the much larger B:\ - and it remains there today. The iTunes Media Folder location is B:\iTunes\iTunes Media. (This switchover of the library to B:\ was accomplished a long time ago, and frankly I do not remember how I "made it work" - as will become clear in this post...).
    The hard drive A:\ crashed and I lost everything. Good thing all the music and other content is on B:\ !
    I replaced A:\ with a new drive, call it C:\ and installed iTunes on that new drive.
    Now, how to I get the newly installed iTunes on C:\ to use the library that is on B:\ - to display all the music (and movies, etc.), let me create playlists, synch my iPods, iPad and iPhone, etc.?
    I went into iTunes to Preferences > Advanced and changed the iTunes Media Folder location to B:\iTunes\iTunes Media, and saved. What do I do now? I thought it would be as simple as using iTunes' "Add file to library", then navigating to B:\, selecting the root iTunes folder and clicking "Open." But that doesn't do it.
    What do I need to do?
    Also - when I get the new installation of iTunes to work with the old library, will my old playlists still be there?
    Will the device profiles of my various devices still be recognized (as they were when using my previous installation of iTunes), or will I have to introduce them to iTunes as if they were new devices?

    Hello Mae Sot,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like, from your description that we need to point iTunes to the library located in the 'B:\' drive and have iTunes load it.
    You definately did one of the steps to tell iTunes to store and access content to the correct library. Next do this to "load" that specific iTunes library:
    If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
    If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
    If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
    You should see one of the following screens:
    From: iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
              http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
    It should contain the playlists you had before.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • I cannot copy off the clipboard. I move the copy icon, get support.mozilla instead

    I can't paste from the clipboard. I move the paste icon to the toolbar and get support.mozilla instead. If I clip on this the paste function is not available

    I have my Time Capsule set up and can access it remotely, however, I cannot copy anything to the TC disk from my desktop. 
    Sorry but do you mean you cannot copy from local LAN to the TC, or from a remote location to the TC.
    What OS is on the computer.. it is a common issue with Mavericks.. where the networking giants have gone back to tin cans and string.
    I recommend a full reset of the TC to factory.
    Change all naming to SMB type.. it is so important now with Mavericks which is SMB by default.
    SMB uses names that are short.. <10characters is great.. keep it less than 20 max.
    No spaces.
    Pure alphanumeric.
    ie when apple setup suggests a name like
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule.. it breaks every rule. It is over long.. has spaces and illegal character.
    So change all names.. eg TCgen4 (replace number with actual Gen if you like.. or just name it TC).
    Call wireless TCwifi (or TC24ghz and TC5ghz if you want separate naming for the bands).
    Then in finder.. use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname  (where TCname is whatever you have now named your TC compliant with the rules above)
    If that fails
    AFP://TCname.local (Mavericks gets domain name issues.. it needs the domain and is local by default.)
    or
    AFP://TCIPaddress. eg AFP://10.0.1.1 which is router address by default.. only use if the ip is static.
    The computer will hopefully discover the resource and now you can type in your password.. public by default.. or whatever you changed it to.
    Now try copying files to the TC.
