How can i connect windows(laptop) to lion server?

Hi..
We in our company use mac's as clients. We use Mac OSx 10.7 lion server. We have a lenovo laptop for general purpose. Now can we connect that laptop in network. So that can we remotely use mac screen sharing.

Are you asking how to connect to FileSharing from the PC ?
Or are you asking about screensharing?
On Server
If file sharing, edit the SharePoint and make sure that
Windows File Sharing (SMB) is enabled
On the PC:
Map a network drive
\\10.0.0.1\Share
(your IP and the share name)
Make sure you check the box to use another account or user/password
It will then ask you to enter a password.
In general, the above should work.
There are some cases where it requires a few other tricks.
Good Luck

How can SQLDeveloper connect to 10g DB on server but UI cannot

How can SQLDeveloper connect to 10g DB on server but the User Interface on local laptop cannot? What does the UI need that SQL Developer doesn't need?

What kind of UI are you talking about?
SQL Developer can use different type of connection method to connect to Oracle database.
For example, basic method of SQL Developer is JDBC Thin connection, in which case, SQL Developer will use JDBC driver that come with it, don't need any other thing installed.
SQL Developer also can use TNS method which will require Oracle client installed and TNS names configured.

Windows can't connect to shares on Lion Server

I can't connect any windows machines (XP, Vist, or 7) to a Mac Pro running Lion Server. When attempting to connect, the windows user is prompted for credentials, and nothing entered in this box works even the server admin account info, once entering account credentials, it comes back with NAMEOFWINDOWSCOMPUTER\USER as if it's trying to sign into a domain, which we don't have domains.
I can't seem to find anything relevent when searching...

There are a couple things you can try:
1.\ go to the apple server, sys prefs, sharing, selct file sharing and then select option. from there make sure the both check boxes are selected. then select done.
2.\ while you are there, in the shared folders section, selct the folder you would like to share (or add if its not) and make sure the user is in the users pane that you want to share the folder with.
3.\ restart your windows machine to make sure it forgets any passwords you may have put in.
4.\ if it still doesnt ask for a user account go to map network drive. and select the option to put another username and password in. for the user name user SERVERNAME\username - ensure the servername is in CAPITAL letter...
hope this helps...

How can I reset my password via Lion Server web front-end?

I'm trying to enable my users to be able to change their passwords from the default value I've given them. This can be done from the user's profile page but when with the new Lion Server web interface, I select the "Change Password" at the bottom of the page and I get the following result:
Changing passwords is turned off.
You can turn it on by using the Server app on the server.
I'm assuming I cannot use the Server app on my client computer (a MacBook Pro) so I use the Server app on the server. I cannot find out how to enable this feature. I've been all over the Lion Server help documentation but can't find out how.
I've selected my server in the Hardware section on the left-hand side of the Server app and gone to the Settings tab and checked the "Enable screen sharing and remote management" box but I still get the message above.
Thanks in advance...

You will have to enabled "Profile Manager" tab.
Inside this tab, enable also the "Device Management", which will start a network directory.
This make sense for a centralized user mgmt.
But a bit not user-friendly enough.
After setting above two,
go back to the "Web" tab, and click the pencil to see the grayed-out activated.

Server App can't connect to a Mountain Lion server

Hi,
I installed OS X Mountain Lion Server (2.2.1) on a 2012 Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.4. I am able to access all the options using the Server.app on the Mini. Then I installed the Server.app (2.2.1) on a 2010 MacBook Pro running 10.8.4. On trying to configure the Server options on the Mac Mini from the MacBook Pro by providing the correct Mac Mini admin credentials, the password is not validated correctly. This happens when both the systems are on the same network or on different networks.
I am certain that the username / password provided is correct, since using the same credentials I can successfully remote into the Mac Mini using Apple Remote Desktop (3.6.1) when both the systems are on the same network or on different networks.
My situation supersedes the resolution provided in http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3960?locale=en_US. Note that the command sudo launchctl list | grep -q com.apple.servermgrd && echo loaded || echo not loaded returns loaded on the Mac Mini.
Please help!

I am having exactly the same setup and exactly the same problem - nevertheless I would like to add some more information in order to hopefully find / get help from other readers in here.
I am using DynDNS - not a dedicated domain. I do not utilize an AirPort Extreme for port forwarding and else. All the necessary port forwardings were triple checked!
- First of all "Apple Remote Desktop" is able to connect to my server over the internet (screen sharing) and locally in my LAN. No troubles here.
- My iOS devices can connect using various VNC clients without any troubles.
- VNC connections started within Safari (MacBook Pro) do work very well, too.
- All kinds of WebDAV connections are working like a charme.
- When connecting with "Server.app" from my MacBook Pro it asks if I would like to trust the self-signed certificate before I can enter name and password. After trusting that certificate it doesn't matter which account information I am entering: none is accepted. It does not make any difference if I am using a local user account or a user network account (both configured as being allowed to administer that server). "Server.app" does not accept any information provided.
I've been following the KB advice, too that c xavier mentioned. "servermgrd" is loaded!
For some odd yet unknown reason neither WAN nor LAN FTP login does work, too. It just gives me a time out, as already mentioned WebDAV is working fine.
Sorry I could not help You, c xavier! I just thought that some additional information could help...

How can I connect my laptop with window to Apple TV

Tnx

What kind of files do you have and what error are you facing while transferring them to your iTunes Library?
As Homesharing allows you to stream contents to your Apple Tv only if you have the file available in your itunes Library and both the computer and Apple Tv is connected to the Same Network and Home Sharing with Same Apple Id.

How can i run windows on osx lion

Hi, some programs don't run anymore on osx lion. So I would like to install windows. How do I need to proceed?
Thanks, Franklin

... don't run anymore
Upgrade when possible.
Downgrade back.
Dual boot 10.6 or even 10.5 (as old as your Mac came with) and Lion -
You can even have a Mac HFS data partition.
Instead of dual booting Windows.
Depends on what. You didn't mention. Or whether they are Windows alternatives that have to run natively. Or could be run in a VM guest OS - but have to share RAM and processor resource, which may not be feasible or run well enough.
Apps incompatible with OS X Lion
keep Snow Leopard when upgrading to Lion

How can I connect a laptop with DVI to an Apple LED Cinema Display 27"

I have an old Mac Book Pro 2007 and a PC laptop, both with DVI.
I simply can't find a DVI to mini display adapter.
Can this be true?

Be careful. Make sure your laptop's DVI output is a dual-link DVI output. Otherwise it won't work correctly with the 27" through any adapter.

How can I connect to Oracle and SQL server at the same time?

I have been trying to find a way to connect to Oracle Database through the developer 2000 and SQL server at the same time. I need to return some data from Oracle Database and some from the Sql Server Database. And update both through SQL. I find there is such a thing as the Oracle Transparent Gateway for SQL server. I can't find it on any of my CD's or through OTN downloadable files. If anyone can point me where to get this. Or tell of another way this can be accomplished I would appreciate it. TIA.

As far as I know you have 3 options depending on your specifications. I don't think option #3 will work if you need to actually join a
SQL Server table to an Oracle table.
1. Oracle Transparent Gateway. I haven't used the Oracle Transparent Gateway but my understanding is that Oracle gateways are
separate purchased products from Oracle. I've never seen any free/development versions of it anywhere. You'll need to contact
your Oracle sales rep about it.
2. Heterogeneous Connectivity. There's something called Heterogeneous Connectivity that could work for you - depends on what
version of Oracle you're on and what OS. You basically set up an ODBC data source on the Oracle server and modify the listener.ora
and tnsnames.ora files. You can then create a database link to SQL Server just like you would to any other Oracle database. You can
check your Oracle documentation for how this works. There's also some very good documents on Metalink that tell you how to do this
as well as a Heterogeneous Connectivity forum on this site.
3. Use the exec_sql package available in Developer 2000. This allows you to open and execute cursors to remote databases within
Developer. We have an account validation process that uses this - when a person enters an account number in a form while logged
into Oracle it validates the account is valid in our main accounting DB2 database. We also pull HR information from DB2 into Oracle
this way. If you're using Forms 6i exec_sql is a built-in command, in Forms 5.0 and 5.5 you have to add it as an attached library to
the form. I think you also need the OCA options installed from the Developer software to have access to the library in Forms 5.0 and
5.5. The library will be in the $ORACLE_HOME\oca20\plsqllib directory for these versions. The Developer documentation should have
additional information.

DNS: Client can't connect because .local domain isn't in DNS. How can I connect over the WAN to server.domain.local?

So my 2012 server is set up on the LAN with a .local domain name.
Remote Desktop Services are set up and remoteapp stuff works fine on the LAN.
I've set up port forwarding so I can connect to the server over the WAN too, but remoteapp stuff is a bit different. I can connect to the server by specifying the correct IP address. Giving a Web browser the address
https://serverIPAddress/RDWeb
lets me get the login screen and see the range of apps for me to run. I select one, the connectoid is downloaded correctly (in Chrome) and I click on the downloaded connectoid.
Unfortunately, rather than pursuing the sensible IP-address approach that I started with, the connectoid has been given the server's name on the LAN: server.domain.local. Clearly, the client machine tries to look this up but DNS hasn't heard of
it because it's a .local address.
I cannot be the only one to have come across this apparent oversight on Microsoft's part. Any ideas as to how this can sensibly be overcome? Obviously, I could put the IP address translation into every client's hosts file (and I've done this and shown it
works) but I've got too many clients to mess about like this. Anybody know 'the Microsoft way' to fix this?
Thank you for checking this out -- I am confident the details of the problem are completely specified in this query but, if I'm wrong, please ask.
Many thanks again,
Biffo

Hi mshields1162,
Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
iTunes 11: Frequently used features
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:
iTunes 10: Sync to your iPod
