Home access to Exchange - Snow Leopard

I'm very confused as to why it is so difficult to set up Mail to access my exchange email from home. I am able to enter my owa server name in Entourage and I can receive everything no problem and sync very well. But there is no way to have Mail do the same thing. I don't get it...

If your company does not have Exchange 2007 with SP1 and update rollup 4 (or higher) installed, then the functionality you want for your Exchange account would be the Exchange IMAP option. You do not want to use the Exchange 2007 option until the aforementioned upgrade to your company's system has occurred. The difference between the two is about the protocols used. The Exchange IMAP setup still uses the regular email protocols that you use with most types of email accounts and that are available to Exchange 2003 and the like. The "Exchange 2007" type of account in Mail uses EWA as its protocol and the protocol is not available to lesser versions of Exchange server. So, syncing mail with Exchange in your case seems to rely on setting it up with the imap.<domain>.com and smtp.<domain>.com settings you would use if you set up Thunderbird or some other email client to communicate to your account. Unfortunately, I do not know if this is as simple as it was before the autodiscovery feature became the default in mail.

Using ms office 2008 for mac home & student edition with snow leopard serv

Hi all,
I have a very particular question.
I have a new small business starting up and we want to make full use of leopard and snow leopard server in our infrastructure. We also want to use os x for all our client machines.
We want to use ms office 2008 for mac as our main offfice software but i believe we don't need all the uses or festures of the business edtion and i need to seek good advice and clarity on this.
We won't ever use any microsoft exchange servers but instead willl use the apple mail servers and all the other apple server services.
My question is, based on the fact that we will have an all apple mac os x backend and client frontend but want to use the ms office for mac as our business software, and also based on the fact that we wont use the "Build your Brand clip art, Build your skills by lynda.com, the Remote Desktop for mac 2, the Microsoft Exchange Server Support and the Microsoft Windows sharepoint services support, do we really need to go for the business edition? Can we not just use the home and student edition and get the same functionality using everything else apart form what we listed as we wont need these?
The other question is, the Entourage 2008, Web services Edition, will this work with an apple backend instead of ms exchange server?
Kind regards and thanks for your wise advice,
Neil Watson

Thanks, Kurt--I understand now.
One reason I was alarmed was that evidently when the tech installed Office 2008, something went awry with either the key installer or the key code, because when I finished the first two updates (12.1 and 12.2), I tried to open Entourage to see if the problem I'd been having was resolved. Instead of opening, Office gave me a message that my product key was invalid! I did find the product key, and called the tech, who will come by to see what's wrong (he's an honest guy, so I'm sure it's a legitimate error of some kind, not a pirated copy). But the thought of installing two pages of updates and maybe running into the same glitch every time made me blanch. So I'm glad to know that Microsoft is still doing Service Packs for 2008!

Why can't I access iCloud from Snow Leopard?

I find it hard to believe that with all the loyalty that I've shown Apple through the years - literally thousands and thousands of dollars that I can't access iCloud through my iMac because it's not compatible with Lion. Is this true? Is there a work-around other than having to buy a newer Mac?

Your machine (by computer standards) is pretty old so even though it doesn't have the ability to be upgraded to Lion is still capable and can continue to be used for what you originally bought it for. In your case it's time to upgrade computers if you think iCloud is something you really need.
Why I understand your frustration just about everything moves forward so if you want to stay current you have to too. You can't really get angry with Apple (or any anything else for that matter) for wanting to move forward because old hardware that was never designed for newer software is left behind. My iMac while it's 5 years old still works fine for what I bought it for however I know Mountain Lion may be the limit it can support and I too will be forced to upgrade. Just progress, nothing more and nothing less.

Does the Snow Leopard EULA allow installation on 2 Macs in 1 home?

Sorry for bringing up the EULA ...
I own one licensed copy of Leopard Server and one licensed copy of Snow Leopard Server. Each is installed on its own Mac in my home.
Does my Snow Leopard Server license allow me to install that version on both of my Macs [similar to the Lion license]?
TIA

Thanks everyone. I don't intend to risk at that… seriously, the problem is many software licenses allow for installation on two computers (one "at home" and the other "at work", for instance) - at least all my recent purchases, mostly music production software such as Finale, Logic, Line 6 stuff and Live. That's why I thought Apple might have been a little more generous at that…
I appreciated everyone's help at clarifying that.

Snow Leopard and Airport...not doing so well altogether.

I upgraded from 10.5.6 or whatever it was in June when I left...when I came back my internet was dropping a little bit here and there...and when I upgraded to Snow Leopard and the install and reboot was all over, Airport dropped my internet so quickly. Rebooted my computer, reinstalled snow leopard, turned off airport, changed the IP, I believe I did everything I could to do get the internet to work.
Right now is weird because this is one of the times where it dropped, maintained, dropped and maintained again. As Im speaking it just dropped...and came back up. Im so sick of this. My sister doesnt have the same problem at all. ****! She can get on to the cisco clean access agent, and snow leopard isnt compatabile with that yet so I cant get on to the internet at school. I dont care about the internet at school..I need the internet at home more than at school.
So in short, can you guys tell me what steps to do that will get my internet to drop less..to mainly be like my sisters where she isnt ******** about it 24/7. She does NOT have Snow Leopard but 10.5.6 OSX or whatever it is now. A key note is that I dont have my OSX install cd's from the original 10.5.2 when I got my MBP, and I didnt set up time machine before I redid it. So Im stuck with this new OS. And you might say its the router or whatever but I swear to god its not, its my computer. I just need to know what I can do that can get my internet so it doesnt drop!!! Thanks guys!

I have a Mini and am experiencing the same. Started with wireless dropping every 20 minutes or so. Then it couldn't find signal so I moved my Time Capsule closer. I'm watching my transmit rate drop every few minutes from 58, then 24, then 18, then 12, now 1. The icon in the status menu doesn't change though. According to that icon I'm getting 4 full bars of signal. If I Option+right click then I see that I'm only at 1

Cannot turn on AirPort after Snow Leopard upgrade with Parallels 3

Since I have upgraded to Snow leopard, my wifi does not turn on, I have seen some comments about parallels causing the problem, does anyone know if this is true and if so how to turn of the ports they are using.
I cannot open the parallels environments as I need to upgrade to get them open.
I now have lots of applications which have stopped working since the upgrade, this is the one thing Microsoft does well making sure the backward compatibility, used to be a advocate of Apple OS's but this one has tarnished my view on them.
Any help very much appreciated.
Rgds, Tony

I find the idea of perpetual compatibility of programs with new operating systems to be unrealistic. The programs that you bought still work with the OS that they were designed for (Tiger and Leopard). In the case of parallels, version 4 has been available for Mac since November of 2008. Version 3 came out in June of 2007. So it looks like they are trying very hard to keep up with the changes that the new Apple cats bring every couple of years.
Since you don't wish to purchase programs that are certified for the operating system you have upgraded to, then you will either need to find freeware replacements or install an operating system that is compatible with the versions of programs that you currently do own. A lot of third party developers are going to insist on getting paid for their continuing efforts. You can also use Apple's BootCamp to run Windows on your Mac. It's free with the OS, but I don't care for it and I'm willing to pay for a program that provides services that are not available in the OS.
Parallels upgraded their software to version 4 for a reason, probably many reasons actually. I expect that part of the reason they decided to rewrite their code was to enhance compatibility with the virtual machine and Leopard.
I was having some issues using version 3 that I bought during the Tiger era (I think - actually started with v2) and they went away with version 4. Version 4 does work with Snow Leopard, and Parallels did come out with a free incremental update for v4 - 2 days before the Snow Leopard release. I suppose that this latest update was also supposed to provide better compatibility with Snow Leopard. Parallels was probably one of the vendors that took advantage of developer's access to the Snow Leopard beta's and they seem to be trying to keep up with the new OS's changes in design.
Now I'm waiting for Parallels to build a 64bit version of their program (which I expect to pay an upgrade fee for). I'm guessing we'll see some pretty good speed improvements if the code is re-written again (probably v5) to take advantage of the new architecture.
If you don't wish to upgrade to programs that can take advantage of what Snow Leopard was designed to do, then Leopard or even Tiger will probably work fine for you. Apple is still going to maintain security updates and bug fixes for them for the foreseeable future.
in what is billed as a simple no impact upgrade
What Apple actually said is that there would be very few changes to the GUI. They stressed that this update is mainly to enable a better 64 bit platform for future programs, the ability to use an absurd amount of ram, and compatibility with other systems like MS Exchange.
I have now eight different applications which are developed for the Mac OS
I guess you mean a Mac OS. This is far from the hundreds of applications that were rendered useless by the Leopard upgrade which dropped support for all OS9 programs. Many people had to find new games that were developed in this century or new word processing programs, or even convert their old graphics files to gifs and jpgs.
That was really painful for some as there are no replacements for some of those programs at all.
no WiFi
Certainly some sort of corruption, or even an actual bug. That's the nature of a bug. It might have just gotten fixed with the 10.6.1 update, or it will be with one of the next updates to come out, or you have a problem in your user account preferences, or some other issue. Anybody who works for a living in the IT industry knows better than to upgrade a computer to a .0 version of any program or OS, and they have backups in case there are serious problems. Let others break in a new OS before you break down. Hopefully, the machine you upgraded wasn't used for income, without having a bootable backup?
My first computer training was on a Burroughs 3500 Mainframe in the early '70s - Many computer hardware's have come my way away since then. They all cost a bundle at the time, and I used each for the best performance I could afford. You'll have to decide the value of any upgrades or updates and that does require research.
Google is my friend.

Can I install both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 on the same version of VMWare 5?

Even though I am running Apple OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 on my new 2013 iMac, I have just installed VMWare's "Fusion 5" so I can have Windows 7 installed on the "Fusion 5, for limited usage needs.
I also would like to have a running version of Snow Leopard available to run my large collection of original Lynda.com training DVD's and CD's ... which unfortunately, now only allow the Lynda.com GUI player to operate in (and up to) Snow Leopard (at least this is what the Tech folks at Lynda.com have told me).
Since Lynda.com is no longer producing any or their training programs on CD or DVD any longer, and because they have stopped supporting their training programs to run on Lion and above, I will have to have a version of Snow Leopard installed to run these training programs, and still be able to run them using the Lynda.com GUI player.
So here's my dilemma:
1. Can I install both a version of Snow Leopard OS on my "VMWare "Fusion 5" .... along with a running version of Windows 7 on the same "Fusion 5"?
2. Do I install only the Windows 7 on the VMWare, and find some other "device" to run a version of Snow Leopard off of?
3. Do I consider using "BootCamp", in conjunction with "Fusion 5", to get access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7?
Has anyone had any experience installing BOTH a previous (older) version of Apple OSX ... AND ... a Windows OS version on one installed version of VMWare "Fusion"?
OR
Any suggestions on how to set up having access to both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 .... while keeping OS Mountain Lion as my main OS?

mende1
Thanks ... the "You have to purchase Snow Leopard Server" I knew about, and a few days ago I just ordered a copy from the Apple Store:
Snow Leopard Server - Ordered at: 1-800-692-7753 ... OR ... 1-866-254-8313
I asked for Apple Snow Leopard Server (Model MC588Z/A (SLSVR)
"Unlimited Client License"
It was around $25.50 (USD) with sales tax and shipping (NYS).
One thing though ... when you mention: "you should make two virtual machines".
Not being too familiar with "Fusion 5" yet, Is setting up "two machine" all done under one installed version of "Fusion 5"?
Would you have "links" to any "Fusion 5" installation instructions/info for setting up the
"two machines" (one for Snow Leopard and one for Windows 7)?

Tiger to Snow Leopard without disk

Hello everyone,
The hard drive on my 2.16 ghz white MacBook just gave up the ghost. Luckily, my computer fit the specs to have Apple replace it for free.
Earlier this year, I upgraded to Snow Leopard. I am currently living in Germany and didn't bring my Snow Leopard disk with me (obviously didn't think I would need it). I didn't think it would be a big deal, but when I got my computer back I realized many of the programs, including Adobe, don't run on 10.4.
So I was wondering if there was any way to upgrade to Snow Leopard without having to buy another disk. The disks that I've found over here are more than in the US and I can't shell out the money for that right now (poor student budget).
I would really love any tips that you could offer. Thank you!

Why Apple does what it does is something only Apple knows for sure, but consider that:
• To provide for what you suggest, there would have to be a unique serial or registration number or some similar way to prove that you did buy Snow Leopard, & it would have to be provided with every sale. This would be a hassle for Apple, for resellers, & for users.
• A disk failure is a rare event. Installing or upgrading to Snow Leopard is not. It is even rarer for users to have a disk failure & no access to their Snow Leopard installer disc.
• The OS installer still has to be obtained. Even if you could use a registration number (if you had that with you) to gain access to a secure site to download an image of the installer disc, you would still have to have access to a working Mac (with a functional copy of the Mac OS on it) to use the image file. Plus, you are looking at over 5 GB of installer data, a very large download.
• Your system discs are an essential part of your computer. They not only allow you to format & reinstall the OS but also are the only source for reinstalling bundled applications like iLife (which do not come with retail copies of Snow Leopard or Leopard) & for running the Apple Hardware Test.
• The Apple software license already allows you to maintain one backup copy of each of your Apple installer discs. If you travel, it is a good idea to take a backup copy of the essential discs with you. Not much help for you now I know, but something to remember for the future.

Making Snow Leopard Server services accessible through Time Capsule

Sorry, this will be a fairly long explanation. I think this is the right forum but the question kind of spans several component elements.
During the setup of Snow Leopard Server I let it configure the Time Capsule for services that it is providing, which I want to make available to both the local network and to computers coming in from the Internet. However, there seem to be some conflicts between Time Capsule ports and Snow Leopard ones.
First my set-up: I have Verizon FIOS and have set up my Actiontech Router into bridge mode to the Time Capsule so that the Time Capsule grabs the public IP address. The Snow Leopard Server has a dedicated private IP from the Time Capsule through the DHCP reservation. I have a dynamic DNS setup which consistently points to the public IP address assigned to the Time Capsule. After starting services on Snow Leopard Server, I can see the port mappings created on the Time Capsule by the server allocated to the server's dedicated private IP address. However, the File Sharing (AFP, SMB) entry can't be enabled because the ports used for those services conflict with the ports opened by the Time Capsule to enable backups from client Time Machines (TCP Ports 548, 139). Therefore, any external access to those ports are going to the Time Capsule and not routed to the Snow Leopard Server.
Two questions:
1. Should I map the DNS hostname to the Time Capsule on the Hostnames screen on AirPort utility? While this will enable remote access to the Time Capsule (so that if my client computers are outside coming from the Internet), will this mess up remote access to the Snow Leopard Server?
2. How do I get around the problem of the port conflicts between what Time Machine needs to get to the Time Capsule for backups versus enabling the ports for AFP and SMB on the server?

I actually found an Apple support tip and am posting it here to answer the question:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2963
Bottom line: you can't have both devices doing file sharing unless you set up VPN access.

I want to upgrade leopard os 10.5.8 to snow leopard and then maybe to lion. Where can I buy a sow leopard disk?

Help,
I have a MacBook Pro and would like to upgrade the OS.
My system is 2-3 years old and came with Leopard -
It is up to date with Version 10.5.8 and has a 2.5 GHZ Intel Core 2 duo processor
I have 4GB 667MHZ DDR2 SDRAM memory.
I want to update to Snow Leopard and then maybe Lion.....
It appears my systems is to old to update online. So where can I buy a Snow Leopard disk/s. My local Best Buy does not carry the disk update anymore. Where can I get the disk?
Not to happy with my MAC right now ............. It seems to be poorly supported by APPLE. Am I missing something ?
Jimmy

You apparently missed my response.
It can also be found by entering "Store" under the Apple home page, and typing "snow leopard" in the search window.

Snow Leopard and external firewire drives

When is Apple going to acknowledge the problems with external drive access created by Snow Leopard?

Quite correct. I should not expect Apple to answer the question here. And who knows maybe they are actually working on a solution.
Since you made a kindly offer I will describe the problem in more detail.
Since upgrading to SL I have had constant problems with my firewire external drive. Unfortunately that was the drive with my Time Machine backups. The symptoms of the problems revolve around startup and recognition of the drive. The drive appears in the list but will not open, Time Machine attempted to initiate backup and just spun. I discovered that it was necessary to completely shut down my Imac, disconnect the firewire drive and power it down. I have tried leaving the drive connected and powered, sometimes the Imac sees the drive sometimes not. I have tried leaving the drive connected but powering it down, powering it up and starting the Imac sometimes it sees the drive sometimes not but more frequently than when I leave it connected. The most reliable way to reconnect to the drive is to shut down the Imac, disconnect and powerdown the drive, startup the mac, login, repower the drive and reconnect.
In the course of trying to find a solution I have tried both Disk Utility use and Tech Tool Pro. Both programs are unable to correct the problem, most frequently displaying the message "unable to unmount drive". However after the above mentioned repower sequence running either Disk Utility or TechTools Pro describes the drive as OK.
In the course of all of this I decided to wipe the drive and reformat. I was unable to remove the Time Machine files to another drive so I made the decision to abandon the backups since I made additional manual backups of the critical files and I have all my install disks.
I reformated the drive but I have not started Time Machine again. Time machine has not worked once successfully since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. And further it is clear that the same problems exist on the reformatted drive. At this point probably the best solution is to abandon SL until it leaves beta stage (if ever) and return to 10.5. Had I made that decision earlier I might (emphasize might) have been able to restore from Time Machine. Now the only option is a fully manual restore back to 10.5.
I would like to emphasize that I operate and have operated my Macs as absolutely "box stock" with no system tweeks or any third party tools. The majority of my software on this machine is Apple both Works and Life. I have MacLinkPlus Quicken, Stuffit, Bento, Data Desk, Photoshop elements, Firefox browser, Flip 4 Mac and DivX as the only third party software.

How can i get xcode for osx snow leopard?

how can i get xcode for osx snow leopard?

I'm an experienced software developer (C, C++, Lisp, Linux, Unix, etc) but have never done any Mac development, and wanted to try some stuff on my iMac at home, but I have Snow Leopard and most of the turtorials I looked at said the first thing I had to do was download XCode and the first thing that happened when I tried to do that was it said I had to upgrade to Lion.
My iMac is running SnowLeopard. I don't have any big reason to stay at SnowLeopard, but from stuff I've seen in the forums I can't see any big reason to upgrade to Lion. I might eventually want to do development for IOS on an iphone or iPad, but for now I just want to do a simple tutorial app for my iMac.
I found the downloads search page, and it looks like there's two versions of Xcode 3.2.7 which has a release date of Sep 2011, and 3.2 with a release date of Jan 2012.
Which one should I download? And if I download one of these will it be a problem if I do upgrade to Lion in a few months?

Icloud snow leopard

If I set up icloud using Lion on one computer, can I access it using snow leopard on other computers? I would like to be able to synchronize my
calendars and contacts for sure.
thanks

You can access email on Snow Leopard (by setting Mail up manually) and some people have haad success with a hack for syncing Calendars. The other facilities cannot be accessed on Snow Leopard.
Here is a more detailed list of what happens with Snow Leopard:
You will be able to access email and calendars on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided your browser is reasonably up-to-date.
You will not be able to sync contacts or bookmarks from a pre-Lion Mac.
You will be able to enter the server settings for email manually in the Mail application and access your email. A pictorial instruction page on doing this is here (for Snow Leopard, or here for Tiger).
You will not be able to sync your calendars directly.
Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point. BusyCal is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion.
There appears to be no method of syncing contacts (though Address Book on a Mac can be synced with Google or Yahoo address books - I don't know how reliable this is)

Snow Leopard networking conundrum.

I'm new to Snow Leopard but I've been networking my various Macs since System 7, and every upgraded OS has brought its new challenges; this one is no exception. I have my older desktop with two drives (One called Tiger, one called Panther, for obvious reasons), each holding files I want to access from my Snow Leopard MacBook. Shortly after upgrading, I managed this, much as ever before in earlier OSs: Picked the desired drive, logged on as Registered User and so on. At that time the Connect window gave me both drives and User names as options, just as in earlier OSX versions.
But that's suddenly changed; now, whether I Browse for servers (Command-K) or use the Network icon(Shift Command K) all I get as options are the User accounts—badged as if they were removeable volumes—but the drives themselves are not visible. However, the overall computer does show in the Network window, but double clicking it only gives the same User/volumes as the Connect to server… window.
By sitting at the desktop, and opening its Sharing preference pane I discovered that "…other users can connect to your computer at <its name>.local", and sure enough, typing that into the Connect to server window did the trick, revealing the two drives as connection options (along with just one of the seven available Users) Then all I had to do was figure out how to get the drives into the Favorite servers window for the future.
So I solved my problem, but I don't for the life of me understand what's going on, or how it's supposed to work. Nor why it has worked one way before, and another recently. Can any one shed any light?

A bootable clone is a copy of the system disk that if made properly will boot your Mac in the exact same manner as the original system disk. I know of two applications that are capable of making bootable clones. They are CCC or SuperDuper. I use SD.
You need an external drive to point the application at in order for it to make the bootable clone.
In order to test the clone, hold down the option key while booting. This should bring up all of the bootable devices that the Mac finds. Select the devices with the clone and allow the Mac to boot. If it does you can then proceed to the upgrade knowing that anything goes wrong a working system is only a reboot away. I know that always give my warm fuzzy feelings at upgrade time.
