Home Sharing problem between Mini Server and ATV2 using wired Connection

I am HomeSharing my Itunes Library in a Mac Mini Server late 2010 running Lion Client with an ATV2 Through a Wired Gigabit Switch. With out Success. It only works with the Wireless Connection. Which takes out the point of the Gigabit wired Connection of the Mini server with the rest of the network.
The complete Configuration is
The Mini Server provides Content to a Mac Mini Core Duo, ATV 1 and ATV 2 all through the Gigabit Switch.
The Wireless Network Provides content to three Ipads.
Huawai Modem (Firewall and DHCP), Time Capsule (4rd Generation) in Bridge Mode but Brodcasting Wireless Network, TP-Link 8 port Gigabit Switch.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Allan!
I suggest you replace your switch for a router. The purpose of a router is to connect two networks. In your case it would connect your local computer network (Macs, server and PC) to the Internet. Having your DSL on a switch with the rest of your machines means that only one at a time should be able to connect to the Internet.
Hope this helps! bill

Sharing DSL between Mac Server and PC client

Hello,
I'm running a small Mac server network of 3 Mac clients and 1 PC. They are all connected via ethernet to a switch. There is a DSL modem also connected to the switch. The modem software was installed on the Mac server.
The Mac clients can access the Mac server as well as access the DSL modem to get on-line. The PC is running XP Pro. I can either set up his LAN network connection to see the Mac server or manipulate the settings in that same LAN network connection to see the DSL modem and get on-line. I can't seem to do both.
On the Macs, I set up separate network configurations with the appropriate tcp/ip settings required for the 2 tasks in question.
It seems like there should be a way to set up another separate LAN connection on the problem PC, much like I did on the Macs, to allow both server and DSL access.
1. Does anyone know if this is possible?
2. Does anyone know of another way to get the pc to see the server and the dsl simultaneously, using the same ethernet connection?
Thank you in advance for any help.
Allan
p.s. The macs are running 10.39 and the server is running 10.1.2.

Sharing Documents between the iPad and Mac using iCloud?

I use Pages on my iPad and have it set to share documents via iCloud. When I open Pages on my iMac,however, I do not see any way to access those documents on iCloud. Am I missing something really obvious?

I have absolutely the latest apps and operating system on my iPad and my iMac.
The whole point, I thought, of iCloud's documents sync is that documents should be easily sync'd between Pages, Numbers and Keynote on different platforms.
Pages on the iPad and iPhone store the docments in a "special" folder. In Mac OSX documents can be saved anywhere on the Mac.
I don't know about the "native" file format on the iPhone of iPad, but if I email the document to my Mac, Pages on the Mac can open the file. Its just that I shouldn't have to email it since it's already on iCloud and the Mac has a connection to iCloud.

Connection Problem between BiW Server and BPC Server

Dear all,
Situation,
We have a CSV file dumped in BI Application server in directory defined by us for all Transaction data. Now this CSV file needs to be moved to BPC Server.
Connection/Link between BI and BPC server is missing. So we need one link between BI and BPC server, so that we can automate the movement of CSV from BI server to BPC server.
Is there is any Tool from which can establish connection between two.(i.e. BiW and BPC server).
OR
Do we have any alternate solution of Transfering Transaction data from SAP R/3 or BiW Server to BPC Server.
Thanks in advance

Screen sharing between server and iMac appears to connect but no window opens

We have been trying to screen share between a server and iMac. Both are running Snow Leopard 10.6.7. It seems like we connect using the share screen app because we don't get any error messages after inputing the username and password but no window opens for the server we are connected to. When I look under the windows tab I can see a checkmark next to our server name and trying 'bring all to front' doesn't do anything. The video card on the server died and was removed by our tech support who said we could still access the computer via screen sharing. Would the server not having a video card be the cause of our problem?
Thanks.

Hi,
A Bit for other reading this thread.
To change the Login port for any AIM based name you have to obviously Log out first and then Change the port (SSL might need to be selected first) and then Press Enter to "Set" the port.
This use of the Enter key is the bit that is different to earlier versions of iChat.
For Gary,
Which Thomson-Alcatel device do you have ?
Thomson-Alcatel Speedtouches used to work well when the firmware that ran them was at Version 4.2.5 or less.
At least at this level you could access the device via Terminal using Telnet and then access the Command Line Interface (CLI) and "Unbind" SIP from port 5060
Later versions of their Firmware did not allow for a full Unbind of SIP and Video and Audio chats could only be partially successful (about 15 buddies out a list of 50
Of course using UPnP to open ports for iChat 4 helps with the Screen Sharing as the process is an Screen Share with an Audio Chat along side and both have to work/connect.
I am surprised to hear that in iChat 5 that Screen Sharing is not working when Video and Audio chats are.
For this reason I would ask how the ports have been opened in the Thomson device ?
After that I would keen to know if the Thomson Device or the Time Capsule is doing DHCP to the LAN ?
(Share an IP on the Time capsule is to Enable DHCP)
I am not sure how AT&T expect anyone to use their site to gain help or see what they currently offer when you have to type in a phone number or area (ZIP code).
I did enter the example number and got to this set of pages http://www.att.com/esupport/main.jsp?cv=801#
I see no reference to any Thomson-Alcatel device.

What are the OS differences between mini, mini server and XServe?

Hi,
Apart from cpu speed disk size and memory,
what are the differences between the mac mini and the mini server?
What, if any, are the differences in the OS, software tools etc?
Also, what are the differences between the OS in the mini, mini server
and the XServe (apart from of course cpu cores etc)?
Thanks

Thanks.
Is it safe to say that these two pages list
all the differences?
http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html
http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/specs.html
Or is there any doc from Apple that lists the differences?
Thanks.

How can i get my 2nd laptop to read home sharing with my other laptop and mac mini.

Of course you do because you're no longer on the same network.
Connect to your work's VPN connection and then share the files

Home Sharing problem with Windows 7

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has encountered the following issue. I have home sharing setup between 4 computers. One is a Mac with 10.6.2, one is a Windows XP box and two are Windows 7 boxes. Home sharing works perfectly between Mac, Windows 7, and Windows XP. However the two Windows 7 boxes have an issue. When you click on the home icon for a Windows 7 box from the other Windows 7 box it disappears. This only happens between the Windows 7 boxes. All other combinations work. The windows 7 boxes are both 64-bit. Any one have any ideas? I tried re-installing bonjour, turning off sharing and re-enabling, etc. to no avail. Thanks.

Yes. I have read all those posts and tried all the suggestions. The funny thing is that the problem occurs for me only for sharing between the two Windows 7 computers. It works between Windows 7 and Windows XP, Windows 7 and Mac OSX, Windows XP and Mac OSX. It must be Windows 7 specific for me and I have yet to figure it out. Firewall is not a problem because I have tried with all security features turned off and it does exactly the same thing. My work around is to share to either the Windows XP computer or the Mac computer and then share to the Windows 7 box. I am hoping to see a possible fix in the next iTunes when it comes.

Home sharing problem: I have never set up home sharing but I feel I the concept and how it works. I recently (last 2 months or so) deauthorized, first time ever, all computers with my iTunes account. I have 3 computers authorized. I am trying to set up home sharing but get iTunes says:
"Home Sharing could not be activated because this computer is not authorized for the Apple Id "#########@###.com". Would you like to authorize now?" I click "authorize" and get the next error " You cannont authorize more than 5 computers. You have already authorized 5 computers with this Apple ID. To authorize this computer you must first deauthorize one of the other computers."
Can someone help or shed more light on my problem?
Thanks,

Home Sharing is designed to work on your local network not across the internet/cloud.
Stuff is accessed under the Computers column where your local iTunes library on a local computer would appear.
Home Sharing would share your iTunes content (i.e. stuff stored in itunes on the computer, not in the cloud) with AppleTV or an iPad etc on the SAME network.
AppleTV2 will not be able to see itunes content on the work computer over the internet. It's not designed to. if the work computer was on the home network it would.
iCloud is in it's infancy and is not a mature product - iTunes TV Show purchases appear on AppleTV, but currently music does not unless you are subscribed to iTunes Match. I find this rather odd to be honest, along with the inability to buy music on AppleTV2. Movies purchased in iTunes are not authorised for iCloud viewing currently either.
Maybe it has something to do with iTunes Match 'getting in the way' - i think they assume you'll use that whereas you really want to be able to access Purchased music from the cloud without subscribing to itunes Match which is overkill for some.

Problems with mail server and clients

I have set up OS X server on my iMac with 2 MacBook Pros as clients. I have set up the server to be a mail server.
I have two problems.
1. I can successfully send and receive emails between the server and one MacBook Pro but neither send or receive mail on the other even though the settings are identical. I get the standard dialog box 'cannot connect using Port 25'.
2. On the MacBook Pro that will send mail I can also send mail out of the LAN but mail sent to me is bounced back to the sender.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am new to OS server my learning curve over the past week has been vertical!!!

You are not alone. I have started a current thread because of the same problem, http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1278072&tstart=0.
Another thread ended with the poster claiming to have things working after a clean install, but I have had no such luck with any of my installations so far.
Do you have only one domain on your server, or are you hosting virtual domains also?

Netflix "Slo-Mo" with 2011 Mini Server and Yosemite

I have recently run into a problem with my 2011 Mini Server and Yosemite.
Now that I am using my Mini as a HTPC with Yosemite, when I first boot
and then log into Netflix and start a movie or TV show, the playback
runs in literally slow motion. Video is slowed and audio is also slowed
(like playing a 45 on 33 for those that remember).
However, if I open display prefs and change refresh from 60Hz to 24Hz,
and then change it back to 60Hz, all works well.
Has any one else seen this issue and have a more permanent solution?
Also, it doesn't matter if running Netflix under Silverlight or HTML5.

Thanks, that's all very helpful.
I would like to restore the Mini to its current condition since I've already done some installs and configuration on it--not a show stopper, just convenient if I don't need to redo some things. One idea might be to use the online restore option to get a fresh OS install back and, presumably, recreate the recovery partion in the process, then restore the CCC over that, which would leave the recovery partition alone.
Hmm. Things to ponder and maybe try. I'm not too concerned about killing it and having to start over, so now might be a good time to experiment before I have too much time invested in configuring it.
Its purpose in life is to be a render node for 3D animation, so it's intended to be a minimal OS install anyway, just fast hardware and lots of disk storage (which is why I want the whole terabyte in one volume).

Mac Mini Server and Adobe Creative Suite

I am looking for buying a new server and wonder if the Mac Mini with OSX Server is powerful enough.
4 Intel based macs in the office, all working with the Adobe CS4 package creating a weekly newspaper.
The client macs are mainly working with InDesign and Photoshop files. There is a heavy use of Bridge for seachings and Smart Folders. From InDesign we create PDFs based on InDesign Book (recompiling info from various InDesign docs into one PDF).
Will the Mac Mini with OSX Server be powerful enough?
We are currently working with a QNAP NAS Server with 2 500 gb discs mirroring, which aparently doesnt fulfill the needs.
Anyone can recommend the Mac Mini OSX Server?

Which QNAP are u using?
Should be able to support 10 mac in an office like yours!
A minimum TS 239 pro surely does the job.
Why use mirroring in a QNAP NAS!? IT got great backup feature
put the 2 drive in raid 0
If not available onsite - Buy an external 2 TB used to backup the qnap daily or at least 3 times a week.
In my office we work directly with the indesign files on the nas without any issue.
If you will NOT be using all the features of mac os x server, its NOT worth the investment.
When you say powerful enough what do you mean?:
- Holding your files? any storage will do.
- Functions and services like ICHAT, ICAL, ACL, WEB for a mac office, YES OS X Server is the thing you need.
Also consider that as of now QNAP NAS does not offer any mean of being bind to LDAP. Even AD binding seems to be an issue, have a look on their discussion forum.
Setting MAC OS X SERVER as PDC and trying to bind the QNAP to it is a kind of an issue requiring adequate human resource for config.
Investing in the os x server now you will leave the QNAP on its own for file sharing, unless going through Global SAN, which, combine with Mac OS X server and QNAP/iscsi is a wonderful solution.
Wonderful solution only if you Mac OS X Server machine have TWO Gigabit NIC and you switch support VLANS. So here surely not the mini, though still depend on the size of the files you work with.
Then again you will need to rethink your Backup solution, may be going with combination of : CarbonCopyClonner, Automator and Ical.
The Mini Server with a DAS will suit your need. Already in possession of a QNAP NAS I dont see a Mini Server and external FIREWIRE RAID box be a good investment unless you are of those kind of rich business who dont know that in madagascar woman are giving birth in the streets without any doctor, in jakarta children below 5 yr old are being left on their own to survive the streets…

Download iOS 8 once to Mac Mini Server and upgrade all iOS devices in the network

Is it possible to download iOS8 only once to the Mac Mini Server and use it to upgrade all eligible iOS devices (iPhones and iPads) in the same LAN?
I tried the following methods and they are just not working:
1. Connect an iPads Mini with Retina Display to the iTunes on Mac. I chose Download Only. Once downloaded the iPad Software Upgrade, I upgraded the connected iPad to iOS8. Then I connect another iPad (used to be on another Mac) to the same iTunes. I had to download iOS 8 again. It's not using the same downloaded iOS 8 file. (I did the same thing for an iPhone. Same result.)
2. I turned on the Caching Service (not Software Upgrade Service, i.e. for Mac Software) on the Mac Mini Server from the Server app. I then repeat step 1 above and got the same result. It seems that the Caching Service does not cache the iOS 8 Software Upgrade like what it does for other apps. (I think I may need to use some Apple Scripts but I have no such experience.)

Yes, it should work that way. However, I was told by an Apple Support that there was a problem and thus Server 3.2.1 was unable to do so.
I paid for Server 4 and it better provides the expected Caching Services for both iOS Software and Mac Software through the iOS and Mac App Stores.

IPhone Home Sharing problems

Here is my home sharing problem. I have 3 devices, a MacBook Air, a PC running Windows 7, and an iPhone 4. All software is up to date. ITunes is installed on both computers, and the exact same Apple ID and password have been entered for home sharing on all devices. The iPhone's music library will NOT show up in any of the Home Sharing folders in the other computers. However, the Mac and PC libraries DO show up in the iPhone, so the password is correctly entered. All computers have been activated and reactivated, restarted, iTunes reinstalled, my router has been reset, firmware up to date. Music from the other computers can be played through Home Sharing on the iPhone, but the iPhone library will not show up in the other computers.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.
