How can I make my Lion Server into a Lion Workstation?

How can I downgrade my Mac OS X Lion Server to just a standard Mac OS X Lion machine?
I've tried everything including re-installing Lion. When re-installing Lion, it seems to automatically pickup on the fact that this is a Server OS & installs Lion Server OS.
I want to simply downgrade my Lion machine to be running the standard Lion OS instead of Lion Server.
In case you're wondering, this is on my iMac 27" which I originally upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion, then from Lion to Lion Server.

@Chris BeHanna
You were right for the firewall Issue. I was also running IPSecuritas and I installed Lion Server and the traffic stopped responding on the tunnel, although it connected well.
I figured out that, for some reason, even if the ServerAdmin indicated that the server firewall (my local "new" server, my own machine) was inactive, some rules must had been set during Server.app installation.
Anyway, what I did was activate the firewall, and then, allow all traffic on every ip. You can do that in the ServerAdmin app.
And then the traffic turned back on, on the IPSecuritas tunnels.
The next step would be to be configure rules precisely, but since I am already behind a firewall, I prefer using a "transparent" setting.

How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?

How can I make an iPhoto slideshow into a DVD in Lion?

If you MacBook Pro came with Lion preinstalled then you will not have a copy of iDVD. That's because iDVD and iWeb have been discontinued by Apple and is not longer being included in iLife.
You can purchase a copy from Amazon.com: iLive 11.
If you do have Lion this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8... seconds and you can follow Terence's directionsl
As for iDVD the following is a recommended workflow to follow;
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

How can I make a bootable disk for Mountain Lion?

Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.

How can I make the web server work on port 80 and not 443. I can only access my website using https.

On a Mac Mini server with OS X Lion 10.7.2, I am unalbe to get the web server working on port 80. It switches automatically to port 443 (https).
This situation complicates the access to FileMaker Web publishing, as I don't want my clients having to use https.
How can I change that? Does anyone know?
Thanks for any reply

in the server: I checked the SSL certificate. Tried several configuration.
Well, that's a problem for a start.
Your port 80 connection should NOT use SSL. Port 80 is the standard HTTP port, not HTTPS and most applications that connect to port 80 will not expect to use SSL
If you want to run a site under both HTTP and HTTPS then you create two sites, one on port 80 without SSL and one on port 443 with SSL

How can I make one computer server at Home for access of SQL Server 2012/2008

Hi All,
Sorry for this basic question but I am zero in networking. I will be very grateful if someone guides what should I do to make one of my home PC as server. Scenario is as follows:
I want to give training to few students about SQL SERVER T-SQL.
I have one Laptop using SQL Server 2012 having Windows 7 Pro(Laptop Master-want to make this server). I have other laptop running Windows 7 pro and got SQL SERVER 2008. My students have mix of laptops including Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows
8. All students have SQL SERVER 2008 installed and working.
Q1: I actually want to make Laptop Master(explained in above paragraph) as server and want other laptops to access that master server in home network. I will install sample exercise database on server and students will be writing queries to access
data.
Q2: can I secure sample database from students who can copy sample database from server?
Q3: can students run queries remotely sitting their home?
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards

Hi itsadnan,
According to your description, if you want to make your Laptop as Server, and your student can log in your SQL Server 2012 instance, you need to ensure that your computer and student’s computers are the same domain, and you enable TCP/IP, name pipes protocol
in SQL Server Configuration Manager, your SQL Server 2012 instance is allowed to connect remotely and your student install SQL Server Manager Studio 2012 as client tool in their computer, and you create the related login name for your students. For more information,
see:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/walzenbach/archive/2010/04/14/how-to-enable-remote-connections-in-sql-server-2008.aspx
According to your requirement, in actual, since your students install SQL Server 2008 on their computer, you totally can ask your student to install the sample exercise database in their SQL Server. For example, there are many resource about sample database
in Website, which is helpful for student to learn database technology, such as
AdventureWorks databases for SQL Server 2008. From SQL Server Management Studio, they can attach an AdventureWorks database, then write queries to access data.
Since you have SQL Server 2008 in your other laptop, you can create the sample exercise database, and student can install this database via backup and restore, then write queries to access data and send to you for checking if it is right.
Note: Due to backwards compatibility, The students could not restore SQL Server 2012 database in their SQL Server 2008 instance.
Thanks,

How can I make a file server sync with a laptop when it connectsSOLVED

Ok, first let me say that I looked on the Internet for this but didn't find what I was looking for. I'm going to be setting up a simple file server for my in laws soon...they use windows so I'll be using samba on the server side.
They have 3 computers and want to be able to have all there files stored in one central place so they can share them easily and also have them backed up at the same time. They have 2 desktops and one laptop.
The desktops are not a big deal to sync with the server because they are on all the time and I can just use a cron job or something. Then problem is the laptop..
What can I do to make the laptop automatically sync when it gets on the network?
The catch is this needs to be ran from the server side so they have a "hands free" experience or whatever. If you know a way for the laptop to do this in the background I guess that would work too.
I know this is probably a very simple task but so far everything I find the user would have to manually start the sync.
Thanks in advance for you help!
Last edited by jonrd (2008-07-27 04:28:57)

Is it necessary that all the files are on the local hard disks? In the case of the laptop I could understand this if the laptop is also used outside the network, but the desktops should stay in place, no?
It could be as easy as to make a shortcut on all the computers to the samba-share and tell the inlaws that they have to use the samba-share to store their (shared) files.
You are correct about this but I doubt they would remember to use this all the time so I want to sync the folders just in case.
Assuming the laptop is always going to be in the same IP address when it connects to the network (which is unlikely in default configurations), you could create a script that checks for the existence of the machine on the network then perform a sync. I had a script written in Python somewhere that would check to make sure the server side was up and run unison, but it could be modified to check for the laptop and copy files. Let me know if that's something you're interested in and I can post it for you.
This sounds like what I'm looking for. Also I wander If it could be done by NetBIOS name instead of ip address? This way It wouldn't matter.
The script sounds like what I'm looking for though
Thanks for the help!

How can I make a imovie event into email size segments

I recorded a 24 minute bicycle ride and the reults were good.
I imported the AVI file event into Imovie and the file is now a wopping Mpeg 4 3.78 GB. HD 1280 x 720.
I tried to share the file to email to some friends (or a segment of) but was far to big.
I tried to split clip but no matter what I do that modify menu item remains in light grey and that menu item can not be used.
In a past version I manged to do this on an earlier release. Currently I am using Imovie 10.0.2 which comes up as the currnet version.
I also now have a "Share Failed" alarm "The share operation "Theatre-SUNPRO0003" has failed. Video rendering error: -50" come up every time I use IMovie and I can not get rid of it as it keeps popping up every minute and is very anoying.
I also had the computer slow down considerably and found the problem was Drop box austomatically started uploading the huge file as did ICloud to begin with.
Any assistance would be of great help.
Computer is a 2009 MacPro with 10 gig memory and using OS X 10.9.1 and pretty fast internet connection.
Regards
Barry

iMovie does not allow any editing or splitting of clips in events. You can only do this in a timeline. Consequently if you want to split or shorten a clip you have to do it before importing into iMovie. Quicktime 7 or Quicktime 10 are able to do this.
Your movie is very big becasue of the high resolution. You can make it smaller using a lower resolution. There is a share to email option. I would not share to Theater - it creates several different version s of the movie and slows things down a lot.
If you only want to share the movie at original resolution and not do any editing, why not simply upload it directly to Dropbox (i.e. not via iMovie) , splitting it first if your Dropbox capacity is not big enough?

I've seen the examples, even some solution on the ni web, but I don't
understand very well how it's works. I need also logging for each client in
a different file.
Thanks for your help.

The best example I have found is this one

How can I make a flashplayer video into a quicktime video?

There is a video on youtube in flash player form how do I use it in a power point?

It isn't historic...it is current. 24fps is the film frame rate, and now many cameras can record that as well, either natively or with pulldown (now we get complicated). BUT, my point is, that 30fps is the rate of video...historically and current. Every TV show you watch? 30fps. Even the ones shot on film...at 24fps...air at 30fps.
DVDs...all play at 30fps.

How can I make my user input on the same line as the question?

The only way I know of doing it is
System.out.println ("Please enter an uppercase letter of the English Alphabet: ");
letter = dataIn.readLine ();But that makes Please enter an uppercase letter of the English Alphabet:
**User input here, a line down**So how can I make it all fit into one line with this sort of layout:

change your call from println to print.
check the API docs for this stuff, it tells you everything you need to know.

Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and BBP

Mountain Lion Recovery DVD - How can I make one, ML was installed on my iMac and MBP when I purchased them. When I look at the App Store, it dose not show ML as purchased (to download again) - do I have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
Thanks for your help.
Regards
NGI

do i have to purchase it again to make a Recovery DVD?
No. You can still make a bootable recovery DVD, but you will not be able to make a full bootable copy of ML without purchase.
1) Enable the debug menu for Disk Utility via Terminal Application. Navigate to terminal by typing "terminal" in spotlight. Copy the bolded text below and enter it into the command prompt:
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool true ; open -a "Disk Utility" ; exit
2) From the Debug Menu > Select Show every Partition > Recovery HD should appear
3) Right click (control + click) the Recovery HD partition and select "Mount"
4) Right click again the partition again > "Reveal Recovery HD in Finder". Leave this window open
5) At this point, you will need open terminal again and enter the following command:
sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/Recovery\ HD/com.apple.recovery.boot/BaseSystem.dmg ; exit
Type your password when prompted.
6) Navigate back to the Recovery HD finder Window > com.apple.recovery.boot > BaseSystem.dmg
7) Drag "BaseSystem.dmg" into Disk Utility's sidebar.
8) Insert your DVD
9) Select "BaseSystem.dmg" in the sidebar and hit "Burn"
Once the burn is completed, hold option down at startup and select the DVD to boot. This is a bootable Recovery partition, not a bootable copy of ML.
Note: to disable the debug menu,
defaults write com.apple.DiskUtility DUDebugMenuEnabled -bool false

The best way to make sure you are not facing memory pressure is to use perfmon counters and monitor various memory counters
For SQL Server 2005 - 2008 r2 use below counters
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Buffer Cache hit ratio(BCHR): IIf your BCHR is high 90 to 100 Then it points to fact that You don't have memory pressure. Keep in mind that suppose somebody runs a query which request large amount of pages in that
case momentarily BCHR might come down to 60 or 70 may be less but that does not means it is a memory pressure it means your query requires large memory and will take it. After that query completes you will see BCHR risiing again
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Page Life Expectancy(PLE): PLE shows for how long page remain in buffer pool. The longer it stays the better it is. Its common misconception to take 300 as a baseline for PLE. But it is not,I read it from
Jonathan Kehayias book( troubleshooting SQL Server) that this value was baseline when SQL Server was of 2000 version and max RAM one could see was from 4-6 G. Now with 200G or RAM coming into picture this value is not correct. He also gave the formula( tentative)
how to calculate it. Take the base counter value of 300 presented by most resources, and then determine a multiple of this value based on the configured buffer cache size, which is the 'max server memory' sp_ configure option in SQL Server, divided by 4 GB.
So, for a server with 32 GB allocated to the buffer pool, the PLE value should be at least (32/4)*300 = 2400. So far this has done good to me so I would recommend you to use it.
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--CheckpointPages/sec: Checkpoint pages /sec counter is important to know about memory pressure because if buffer cache is low then lots of new pages needs to be brought into and flushed out from buffer pool,
due to load checkpoint's work will increase and will start flushing out dirty pages very frequently. If this counter is high then your SQL Server buffer pool is not able to cope up with requests coming and we need to increase it by increasing buffer pool memory
or by increasing physical RAM and then making adequate changes in Buffer pool size. Technically this value should be low if you are looking at line graph in perfmon this value should always touch base for stable system.
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Freepages: This value should not be less you always want to see high value for it.
SQLServer:Memory Manager--Memory Grants Pending: If you see
memory grants pending in buffer pool your server is facing SQL Server memory crunch and increasing memory would be a good idea. For memory grants please read this article:
SQLServer:memory Manager--Target Server Memory: This is amount of memory SQL Server is trying to acquire.
SQLServer:memory Manager--Total Server memory This is current memory SQL Server has acquired.
8. Free List Stalls/sec – Number of requests per second that had to wait for a free page
9. Free Pages – Total number of pages on all free lists (free lists track all of the pages in the buffer pool that are not currently allocate to a data page, and are therefore available for usage immediately)
NOTE: If you have NUMA system don't use PLE to monitor memory condition it wont give correct value
From 2012 Onwards
Memory management has become easy from 2012 onwards as
Max server memory also allocated memory for requests which require memory >8KB
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Free Memory (KB)
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Target Server Memory (KB)
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Total Server Memory (KB)
For NUMA system its also wort monitoring each node.
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Total Node Memory
(KB)
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Target Node Memory
(KB)
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Free Node Memory
(KB)
Ideally if target server memory is less than or equal to total server memory there wont be memory pressure if target is > total it does not always means its memory pressure
BCHR would also give you good idea about memory pressure
If memory grants pending is frequently non zero there is memory pressure

How can I make a server differ between two or more clients?

How can I make a server differ between two or more clients?
The clients can connect and talk to the server fine, but how can I make the server talk to one, two or all clients? i.e. what would be a good way to implement this?
Currently, the server listens for connections like this:
while (listening) {
try {
new ServerThread(this, serverSocket.accept()).start();
I guess one way would be to add the ServerThreads to a Hashtable with the client ID as key, and then get the ServerThread with the proper client ID, but this seems unnecessary complicated. Any ideas?

Complicated was perhaps the wrong word, I should have
written something like it doesn't "feel" right. Or is
this a common and good way to solve communication
between a server and multiple clients?Thats pretty much how I do it. I normally use an array or ArrayList of Sockets instead of HashTable, with [0] being the first player etc.... Then you can communicate with exactly who you want. If you want to send bytes to all of them, just send the same thing to each socket individually (or is there a better way to do this?).
