Has anyone tried to get a refund for Lion Server yet?

It's clear why server is only $50 now. Some of the new features looked very promising, but this product is completely crippled and dumbed-down compared to Snow Leopard Server. Once I accepted the fact that it is not possible to upgrade an existing 10.6 server to 10.7, I gave up on that and simply tried to do a clean install and start over from scratch. All I'm trying to do is set up a few network accounts that can connect to the iCal and Address Book services. It simply does not work. It is not possible to create an Open Directory master on 10.7 Server without some kind of failure along the way. I have clean-installed 5 times now, and it just doesn't work. Local users seem to work ok, but network users, which you must use if you want to work with the Profile Manager, simply do not work.
I am rolling back to my clone of 10.6 server now. I am curious if anyone else has given up on 10.7 server and tried to get a refund from Apple yet, and if so, what the outcome was.

Yes, and I have received word that my credit card will be credited shortly.
I hope to be able to upgrade to Lion Server at some point but it is increasingly clear that Lion Server is not yet ready.

Has anyone tried to get the customer_id/site_id in ireceivable module?

Has anyone tried to get the customer_id/site_id in ireceivable module? Please let me know which class to look into to get the cust_account_id and site_id/site_use_id in ireceivable module. We need to control the access in our custom pages based on the user access (at the customer account level or only at the customer site level).
Thanks,

I saw the set hibernet mode to 0 trick and it failed. Guess I can try 3 because reinstalling OS X did nothing but cost me another few hours and a little faith in Apple. Getting annoyed as I see how many people complain of the identical issue and the fixes are variable and random. Suggests to me that it is a major design flaw in the hardware and Apple got too cute with the just works idea and didn't put a damned power button on the display so there is no manual way to do it and no 'insert a pin here' type trick to reset the thing.
Asking for a refund tomorrow. Past the 14 days so maybe they'll say no but if so then every time this happens I will swap it out. At least then I know it is a three hour fix and as I was working on this for hours today it occurred to me that if the trick is to do 57 different things and maybe one will work then that is not why I made the switch to Apple. I could plug everything in on my PC and it all 'just worked'.
Really poor customer service - the support folks are very nice and I am sure they know that this is a systemic issue but aren't allowed to say so. Feeling pretty stupid for going on faith right about now.

I'm trying to get a refund for the additional storage I purchased yesterday accidentally. How do I get someone to refund me before the 15 days? Everything I try fails.

Has anyone got PPTP VPN to work on Lion Server?

Has anyone got PPTP VPN to work on Lion Server?
I had a go with the terminal commnds posted by apple support but no joy. Since then Apple has pulled the suport article - is it because it didn't work?
I get PPTP is less secure but PPTP seems to be more reliable don't know whey they can't keep as GUI. I've got them both running on our 10.4 server and L2TP stoped allowing connections for no reason PPTP was still working L2TP started working again on its own. Plus L2TP drops my connection when I connect with a 2nd device e.g connected with my Macbook connect with my iPhone (different username) it drops my Macbook.
Any advice getting PPTP to work on Lion Server would be appreciated
Thanks
Ben

Hi,
I have posted a bugreport on this issue to Apple. Currently (10.7.2) it is not possible to run PPTP on any Mac OS X Server when using a 10.7 Server as Directory Server.
I have tried 'everything', but the MPPE encryption mechanism seems to be broken.
Edit: I see now that the bugreport is filed as a duplicate to an older case, which is now closed. I hope this means they have found the problem and will release a fix in the next update.

Has anyone got AST to work on a Lion Server?

For the Apple Service Providers we need to run Apple Service Toolkit from a server. Has anyone gottten AST to work on a Lion Server? We have 3 locations and have all tried and have gotten different out comes but none have worked. We have chatted with Apple Service with no help.

I have it installed on a Lion server machine and the only way I have been able to get the client machines to see it was to plug both the server machine and the client into the same switch. Netbooting across subnets seems almost impossible.
I am also waiting to hear back from the AST support people because now, when I netboot a client machine to the gateway, it says "There is a problem with the Gateway Manager." When I log into the server and open Gateway Manager, it just sits there forever saying "Looking for gateway controller."
Currently I'm running AST 1.0.9 and I understand that version 1.1.1 is actually the latest, but I cannot find it ANYWHERE on Apple's site nor in GSX. In fact, since they switched over to the new GSX domain, the ONLY thing I can find related to AST is a small article describing how it works. No downloads, no links, no nothing.
Any idea where to find the latest version? I can't even find a link to it with a simple Google search. The AST support guy said to search within GSX, which found nothing but the article I mentioned.

Has anyone tried Displayport to VGA adaptor for T410S?

I found Displayport to VGA cable for T410S on Lenovo site.
Lenovo DisplayPort to VGA Monitor Cable 57Y4393
I just wonder if DP can directly transfer to analog port?
Has anyone tried this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Does the T410s not have a VGA port built right in? I know my T510 does and I'm almost certain the regular (non-"s") T410 has one.

I'm trying to get a refund for an annual subscription

Purchasing the adobe pdf converter wiped out my word program. Yes, I could no longer access my word program from the minute I downloaded this product.
I paid for a year thinking I would use this function regularly. Instead, I used it once, learned that it ruined my Word, and haven't touched it since. I would like to get a refund for my purchase. If I could, I would get Adobe to pay for the new Word program I had to purchase!

Has anyone tried to play 'The Sims2' on the macbook yet?

Ciao a tt!
I am a proud owner of a now aging 12" powerbook G4 and I am seriously considering the new macbook. However, I am a highschool student, and as such am addicted to a myriad of fairly graphic intensive games including The Sims2, and Halo. Compunding these are games such as Age of Empires and Rise of Nations which are not particularly graphic intensive but as of now must be run by means of Rosetta. My question for all of you is: Should I go for the MacBook which I have heard has a fairly mediocre graphics processor, or should I save up for a Macbook pro? If it is absolutely necessary, I will go for the MPB, but I am much more attracted to the MacBook from an aesthetic point of view and feel the size is perfect for a portable computer. Thank You all for your imput, and please excuse my English I know it leaves a lot to bbe desired.
PowerBook G4 (867MHz) Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I'd assume it would run well on the MBP, I have a friend with a higher end PowerBook who plays the game religiously. However, I look up some of the game specifications on Aspyr's web site and the graphics card on the MacBook(Granted it is fairly new and may not be included on the web site yet) is not listed as compatible. Has anyone played the universal version yet on a MacBook, or is it as of yet an impossibility? As far as I know, the game does play on the MPB as a universal binary and courtesy of Cruzmisl's post in Windows Xp. I would just like to determine if I should wait to buy a MBP or if I can go for Macbook which I feel is a better machine (As long as it can handle my games)

Has anyone tried using the app Telnames for their mobile sites/storage?

Have been looking at EverWeb and lurking in the forums following the discussions regarding it. Downloaded the demo and it seems like more then I want to do. (Still using iWeb for my main site)
While looking for alternatives I saw Telnames on App Store. I would like to know if anyone has tried using/buying it? I will be working on a 6+ and building a Bed and Breakfast mobile site.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for the info on symlinks. I pretty much already convinced the powers above me this was a bad idea because of the horrible performance and problems getting OS X to even recognize it as a home directory, but the symlink info is the nail in the coffin. We have had great success using windows file servers for our network home directories (we are a complete windows shop besides my macs) and I really didn't want to change anyways.

Has anyone tried running star trek online for mac yet

Being a lover of sci-fi this game came to my attention and being a recent convert to mac's I was wondering if anyone more knowledgeable then I (most everyone) has tried to install and play this. If you have or you have any suggestions or warnings for me then I greatly appreciate your help.
Thanks
James

If you have or you have any suggestions or warnings for me
Can you be more specific please. There are quite a few Star Trek games out there for Macs if you do a Google search. There is one at the App Store called Star Trek D-A-C. Items listed at the AppStore are specifically for Macs from qualified developers/manufacturers.
Is that the game you are talking about? If not, please list the correct Star Trek game and the link from where this game came to your attention. Did you read the reviews from the site you saw this game? It's system requirements?

Has anyone tried the iSight with Skyp for MAC?

MacPro 2.66 Mac OS X (10.4.8) 2G ram.. iSight camera

I use it with a Powerbook G4...so G3 might not be enough...here are the system requirements as listed on Skype's web site:
* Mac computer with G4 800 Mhz processor or faster
* Mac OS X v10.3.9 Panther or newer
* 512 MB RAM
* 40 MB free disk space on your hard drive
* Microphone
* Webcam: Suggested webcams include Apple iSight, Philips SPC900NC, or Logitech QuickCam Pro 4000. Drivers for the Philips and Logitech webcams can be downloaded from http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/.
* Internet connection (broadband is best, GPRS is not supported for voice calls, and results may vary on a satellite connection).

So, has anyone tried the 1.3 BIOS for the P965 Platinum yet?

http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=745&kind=1
Who wants to be the guinea pig?

My P965 already came with 1.3 when I first got it back in December but the date of the latest on MSI's website show 2007... go figure. Anyway, my Corsair memory works fine with their default settings but I changed it to 4-4-4-12T @ 2.1V and that seems to work fine. I need to test it a bit more.
The interesting thing came when I contacted Corsair of BIOS settings. Here is their response regarding this mobo:
"There is a bug with this motherboard. When you adjust the CAs LAtency to 4 it is actually running at 3. Untill MSI resolves this issue, I can only recommend that you run the timings at 5-4-4-12@800MHZ 1.9v. You can verifiy what I'm stating by setting the DDR Frequency to 667MHZ and the timings to 4-4-4-12. Run CPU-Z and look under the Memory TAB."
Are you guys aware this? I contacted MSI on this, they ask me to update my BIOS to V1.36. What v1.36??? No such version...
Anyone?

Has anyone else spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to get a refund for extra iCloud storage you accidentally purchased?

Has anyone figured out how to actually get a refund for iCloud extra storage? I accidentally purchased too much extra storage. The supports site says "Cancel storage not needed" within 15 days. But there is no instructions on HOW to do that. I have searched for hours for instructions. I did Express Lane Case #s only to have Apple Support "close" these cases with a "resolution" that they told me to visit their support sites. I am in a loop! I have had 3 Case numbers for this with no one giving me the credit refund. I finally was given a phone number. Been on hold so long my cell dropped the call and had to start over...3 times. Of course, all very nice people who took my phone number in case they need to call me back and then never called me when I lost the call. None of them had the security level for refunds so I had to be sent on to the next person and then the next, all with rediculously long hold times. I finally gave up for the night. Tried to "chat" online, but the only option is to "Chat Later" when I feel like trying again. Again, no explanation on why that is the only option showing (too busy, closed for the night?). Is the ploy here for me to realize I already spent more hours of my time than the cost of the error and I'll eventually give up? On this site I did see someone post a refund resolution for MobileMe. Those instructions are not working for iCloud storage canceling. There was no "choice" to click for canceling that I saw.

I did get this resolved the next day. So the solution is to not try to resolve this in the evening, the were understaffed. I called the next day during business hours and had the opposite experience. I got in and was only on hold 5 min. Again the first support person could not give refunds and I was passed on to her supervisor, but again the hold time was reasonable. This person was very easy to work with and she took care of the issue. I explained that it was not completely clear that the cloud is not meant to be backup for all your pc files, thus the reason for so many cancelations once we get it and find out what it cannot store. The online support sites could do a better job telling you that refunds require phone calls (during days hours).

Has anyone tried to pair the Tzumi bluetooth headphones to their iMac? My iMac will detect the device, connect to it for about 2 seconds, then shows a status of "not connected". Multiple attempts get the same result.

Edge has very clear restrictions, one being that you must have 6 months of clean payment history which you don't. Either wait until April 14, or good luck at Sprint.
I am unsure how it can be determined the payment mix up was the fault of CS, but regardless, the mix up was done. There can be any number of reasons why a payment could be missed without any fault on your part, however you are still the responsible party for the account and must live with the repercussions.
