How do change my software server?

I seem to can not change my software server. It needed to be updated years ago. The laptop was not running for years. I finally got it up and running.

In rethinking your question, it seems that you have an old laptop that you once had gotten upgrades from a server rather than from Apple. If so and you didn't make a backup of the original copy of the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist file, apply the following command in Terminal:
sudo defaults delete /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL
Of course, you'll need the password to execute as well as the URL of the server...good luck!

How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out

How to change your Administration Server password when you're locked out
The Netscape server products are all managed by a single administration
server, which gives you a web forms-based interface you can use to
configure them, start/stop them, check their logs, and so forth.

There are three levels of protection that keep the general public from
being able to get into your administration server and mess up the
configuration of any Netscape servers you have installed:

<OL>
<LI> Obscurity: Your administration server can run on any port you'd
like (usually something between 81 and 30,000), so if an attacker
doesn't know what port to find your admin server on, he can't get
into it.
<LI> Host restrictions: You can tell your admin server to only allow
connections from specific hosts, and to reject all other hosts.

<LI> Password protection: Even if a user connects to your admin server
from a valid host, he won't be allowed to get into even the first
page unless he presents a valid username and password.
</OL>

If you, the legitimate administrator of your web server, are unable to
access the administration server (if you forgot your password or the
admin port number or if you accidentally locked your own site out),
then here is how to get past each of these levels of protection:

<OL>
<LI> If you don't remember what port your administration server is
running on, just look in your "ns-admin.conf" file, which is in
the "admserv" directory under your Netscape server directory.
(For 1.x web servers on Windows NT, run "regedt32" and go to the
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Netscape\Administration" section).
You will see a "Port" entry there that specifies what port your
admin server is on. You can change this value if you want your
admin server to run on a different port, but make sure you restart
the admin server after you change the value.

<LI> If your admin server is complaining "Unauthorized host" when you
try to connect to it, then you can open it up to all sites by
going into the "ns-admin.conf" file or the "Administration"
section of your NT registry, as described above, and deleting the
lines for "Hosts" and "Addresses" (either one of those might not
be present) then restarting your admin server (on Unix run
"stop-admin" then "start-admin"; on NT go into the Services
control panel and stop/start the "Netscape Administration" or
"Netscape Admin Server" service). You will then be able to get
back into the admin server, where you can then try new settings
for your host and address restrictions if you wish.

<LI> If you have forgotten the password to your admin server and now
you can't log into your admin pages, all is not lost! Go into
your "ns-home" directory, and into the "admserv" directory under
that. You should find an "admpw" text file containing a simgle
line of text, something like this:
admin:lnOVeixulqkmU
The first part of that line is the name of your admin account
(usually just "admin"), and the second part is your admin
password, encrypted. Edit this file to remove the encrypted
password so that your file looks like this:
admin:
Then shut down your admin server, bring it back up again, and log
into your admin server but don't give any password. It should let
you in, at which point you can then go to the appropriate
configuration page to set a new admin password, and then you're
back in business.
</OL>
Note that because it is so easy to change the admin password this
way, it's good to periodically make certain that your admin
password file and your web server's configuration files are not
left world-writable, and that only trusted people have access to
them. (By default they're not world-writable, but it's good to
make sure of this from time to time.)

If you mean that yu forgo the password for yur encrypted backup then you can only:
Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

How to Change Analysis Services Server for Power View

I can't seem to figure out how to change what SSAS server/instance that is used to build the cubes for Power View items uploaded to SharePoint. I tried changed the trusted servers listed in the Excel Services service application but if I remove the original
SSAS server (which of course is a test server, not to be used for production) and have only the prod SSAS instance listed the reports fail to load with the generic 400 error. Is there another setting that I'm missing?

How to change the web server??

How to change the web server in the details of the mobile application component in the MI webconsole??

hello irene,
had your tried checking on the "Use IP instead of host
name" checkbox?
to edit your registered application info, go to
"Upload Mobile Component" tab and click on the Edit icon
on the left part of the record list which corresponds to
the application you had just uploaded.
your application is uploaded to the same host as your
web console application is running on. if you like to
point it to a different server where you have your
archive accessible, you have to change your mcd
deployment attributes on your middleware. try the ff:
1)run tcode: mi_mcd
2)click on Create Mobile Component
3)Enter Mobile Solution Name and Version
4)Click on Display MCD
5)Select Deployment Tab
6)Click on Edit
7)Change the values of WEBSERVER and WEBPATH location eg.
if your archive is located at
http://myotherserver:80/archive/myapplication.war
your entry will be:
WEBSERVER: http://myotherserver:80
WEBPATH: /archive/myapplication.war
where you myotherserver is the name of your http host
server and myapplication.war is the name of your archive.
the archive directory is just a virtual directory where
your application archive is.
you might need to change the port number depending on
your http server port.

How to contact the software server

Hi. I have to Reset my iPod Shuffle, but when I try to do it, ITunes tells me it can't contact the software server, that I have to check if my LAN settings are correct. I access Internet by a Proxy, but since I can post this message, I think I have a connection. How can I check mi LAN settings? Can I restore my iPod without a connection, downloading something?
Thanx!!

*Thank you!!! It was the problem.*
You're welcome, I'm glad that helped.
*Why are you so efficient, do you get a pay for that?*
I've never felt particularly efficient and no, apart from the moderators the people who help out on the boards are just ordinary users like yourself.

How to change Final Cut Server's time zone?

Hello all:
Is there a way to change Final Cut Server's time zone? It seems the software uses the GMT time zone as its reference. Therefore, whenever it runs on a computer located in another time zone, it still uses the GMT based timestamp.
So, for example, as my time zone is GMT less 3 hours, my FCSvr is always stamping the time as 3 hours in advance. Sometimes, this is really annoying.
My best regards,
JP.

I tried resetting Mac OS X's time zone directly in the terminal. Didn't work. After trying several times to set up another time zone, FCSvr suddenly was able to work with the PST time zone.
I was able to have a workaround by setting GMT (or PST) as my time zone, turning off the automatic date&time setting and manually setting the time, all at the date&time System Preferences.
Anyway, I don't think this is a "best practices" procedure, as FCSvr should be able to work normally with the server machine's time.
Any insights on this will be highly appreciated.
JP.

How to change my software update server?

I have recently bought a used Macbook Pro. I want to update the software, but it keeps showing:
"The Software Update Server (omega.ayna.com.lb) is not responding. Check to make sure your network connection is operating normally. If there are no issues with your connection, contact your network administrator for assistance."
I'm an Apple newbie, so I need steps and help please.
Thank you in advance.

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number on this page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received those media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you may not be able to reinstall 10.6 even from the original discs, and Internet Recovery may not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

How to change default software in Blackberry Connect 4.0 for opening attachments

I have downloaded and installed Adobe Reader LE 2.5 to a Nokia E51 running Blackberry Connect 4.0 to overcome an issue with Adobe attachments not displaying files correctly.
When opening Adobe attachments in Blackberry Connect 4.0 it uses Adobe Reader LE 1.5 not the later version.
I can open Adobe files resident on the phone and card memory using Adobe reader 2.5 OK.
I am unable to save attachments from Blackberry Connect 4.0 to the phone or card memory to be able to use v2.5
Is there a way to change the default attachment software Blackberry Connect 4.0 uses on the Nokia handset?
Quick Office Support advised is a Blackberry Connect 4.0 Issue.

The current version supports only 'push pull' email and calendar services. It effectively works using an older BES server functionality. As I understand it, the 4.0 version supports the BES 4.0 feature set. This should allow for full synchronisation of email, contacts, and calendar / to-do items. It apparently also supports the latest admin features such as enabling the device over the air (rather than using the desktop client for this).
While the current version is certainly better than nothing, having the full BES 4.0 feature set would be a huge step forward in my opinion.

How to change the application server paramters in 9ias

I want to change the change the heap size that JVM can use at runtime instead of changing it manually. The paramters are Command Line Options, for OC4j(Multiple VM configuration), the parameter is -Xmx in Java Options.
So I wanted to know if it is possible to change these Command Line Options at run time through Java code inside the application.

Hi,
I think you didn't get what I intended to say. you said "what i find is :Problem:
RZ21->Technical Infrastructure->Availability Monitoring->CCMSPING instance for XB1 -Under Monitored systems".
Now, find your saplogon.ini file . It should have the correct information about your system with the application server. Try 'Load System' from your saplogon.ini file. You should be able to the correct information then.
Hope it will help you.

How to change primary ADFS server (3.0) on a hybrid deployment of Office365?

Hi,
We have a hybrid deployment of Office 365 and on-premises services. I need to change my primary standalone ADFS 2.0 for a new deployment of ADFS Farm 3.0 with ADFS Proxy.
Do you have a step by step with the WAAD commands to achieve this task?
How much time does it take to apply the changes?
Thank you very much.

Once you deploy the new farm, make sure it works as expected (check
https://sts.domain.com/adfs/ls/idpinitiatedsignon.aspx). When ready,
change your firewall/LB to point to the new farm. If you have imported also the token signing/decrypting certificates, you should be all set. If you have generated new self-signed ones, you will have to run Update-MsolFederatedDomain cmdlet from
the new farm.
Or do you mean step-by-step instructions for the actual ADFS install?

Each Vitrual Software server with own jsp

Hi all,
How to setup vitrual software server with its own jsp page
I install jdk1.3.1 and iplanet server 4.1 sp8 done in sun machine with
os 7,
I config and test jsp ok in single host, but can't work to each vitrual
host to run own jsp page
somebody know. How to setup and config own jsp for each vitrual software
in iplanet web server.
Please help
thank.

I also did testing on same - struggling to get the same for last couple of months...
I'm using iws6.0 with jdk1.3 on Win-XP box (just the testing box).
say - docroot is D:/Servers/WWWRoot
and for vs abc.com - D:/Servers/WWWRoot/VS/abc_com
If there is no index.jsp in abc_com folder http://abc.com/index.jsp will give 404 (file not found)... if the index.jsp exists there... it will give 500 (server error)... I went through the internal details using FILEMON... the latter case is looking (checking) for abc_com/index.jsp till the JSP compiler is invoked... But this JSP compiler is looking for WWWRoot/index.jsp... (this means JSP compiler is not aware of virtual server concept)...
Interestingly, if there is WWWRoot/index.jsp present and accessed earlier... http://abc.com/index.jsp will server WWWRoot/index.jsp :-(( only if abc_com/index.jsp exists...
I am also confused - how to fix this.
Any help will be appreciated...

How to change the GUI language to english

After updating to SQL Modeler 3.1 I notice that the GUI language is german now, corresponding to the local settings of my computer to swiss-german.
I share the same needas as expressed by Byte64 at FRIDAY, MARCH 13, 2009:
While i appreciate the globalization efforts, i feel much better having certain programs with an English user interface for the simple reason that when i need to communicate with someone else who doesn't speak Italian, i can talk about menu entries, settings, button names using a commonly understood language and without having to guess what the original entry in English language could be.
I have only to add, that the documention is also in english.
Unfortunately I could not reproduce his workaround. So that old problem is again open at present with SQL Modeler 3.1.
Can you please tell me how to change to software to use english menues communication.
