How do you resolve the issue with an error message on the Mac mini server stating Unable to get users

How do you resolve an issue when creating groups on a Mac Mini Server when this error message appears.
"Unable to get Users & Groups State, The Open Directory master was created, but a problem was encountered trying to refresh the state of the server. Check log files for more info."

Most likely, the Server was not configured correctly - DNS is a common issue, If DNS is not configured properly, OD will not be happy. You can run
sudo changeip -checkhostname
in Terminal to see of DNS is up and running.
Here's a great tutorial (not mine) for setting up OS X Servers. The page says it's for a typical school environment, but it can be applied in many other environments.

HT1918 How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none' :(

How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none'

I had this exact same problem with the new iPhone I bought on 1/4/13. The walk through they provide on how to do this is useless because it fails to explain that if you are already having the problem of not getting the "None" payment option with an Apple ID then you will need to create a completely new Apple ID.
I had to do this 7 times since I bought my iPhone on Friday until this morning to figure out how to finally be able to use the Home Sharing option in iTunes to put my music collection on my brand new $500.00 iPhone. Pretty pathetic if you ask me but since it made me so angry I want to make sure other know how to do this so you don't get as upset as I did.
#1 If your current or soon to be "old" Apple ID is not providing the option for "None" as a payment option then you need to make a brand new one. But you have to make it specifically how I tell you.
#2 You will need to use an email address that has not already been used for anything related to a previous Apple ID. You might need to make a brand new email address.
#3 Open iTunes, then open iTunes Store (upper right corner of iTunes).
#4 Click on App Store (upper center of screen).
#5 Scroll down the screen page until you see Top Free Apps on the right side.
#6 Choose any one of the FREE apps.
#7 You should either get the option to create a new Apple ID box, either that, or it will pop up with some kind of disclaimer and then it does the create new Apple ID.
Either way just create a new Apple ID when it gives you the option to and then when you get to the page that looks like the payment page the "None" payment option will finally be available.
Note: You will still have to fill out the information on the payment page. As long as you choose the "None" option it will not request any credit card information.
#8 You will be sent a confirmation email to the new email account. Just follow through with what ever it tells you and viola now you can use your Apple Device.
What a pain in the keester, eh?

Some crappy software you have installed caused your Mac to shut down. Boot into safe mode and see if you have a kernel panic log in Console, System Diagnostic Messages. If so, post it here.

So, about a week ago my macbook pro started having lots of issues: wifi connectivity, slow performance, sound issues, spotlight wasn't working. After going through the issues with apple support, they decided the best course of action was to erase the hard drive and do a reinstall. Since I have a recent backup this seemed like a good enough option. They were kind enough to send me a copy of the snow leopard disk to do the install since we couldn't get it to complete through the disk utility. Not sure why, since it says we are fully connected, it just never completed.
Anyway, so now that you have the background here is the new issue. The macbook pro keeps spitting out the disk I'm trying to install from. Disk utility and using the 'Startup Disk' function from the apple menu doesn't read the disk.
Can anyone suggest a solution to this vexing problem?
Thanks in advance.

How do you start a loop with an event and end the loop when u release ....

How do you start a loop with lets say an event of some sort, whether it be holding down a key or pressing the mouse click and then stopping the loop when you release that key or mouse button.?
double c = 1.8, i = 1, max = 90, exp = 0;
final double inc = 0.002; //speed at while it increases
boolean f = false, g = false;
while (true)
    while (f == false && stopMeter == false) //increasing speed going up to 90
        exp = Math.pow (c, i);
        i += inc;
        pAngle.setText (Math.round (exp) + "");
        if (exp > max)
            f = true;
            g = false;
        } //end if
    } //end while
    while (g == false && stopMeter == false) //decreasing speed going down from 90
        exp = Math.pow (c, i);
        i -= inc;
        pAngle.setText (Math.round (exp) + "");
        if (exp < 1)
            g = true;
            f = false;
        } //end if
    } //end while
} //end whilethis is a snippet of my increasing increments. Its for an angle meter. I can't get it to stop, when the user clicks or does something... the program just gets stuck in an infinite loop. I am still new to java and i do not know how to fix this.

Using DVI to VGA adaptor with HDMI to DVI port on Mac Mini Server

Hi - I couldnt find anything on this, so I decided to post a new topic. We just recently purchased a Mac Mini server at work for iOS development. Before we launch in in one of our data centers and start remoting into the system, we need to conduct basic setup on the system.
For this, we pulled out an old stock VGA montior we have around the office, and found an apple DVI to VGA adaptor (http://i51.tinypic.com/2mzb4lc.jpg)
The problem is, the pins dont exactly line up... on the DVI to VGA adaptor there are 2 extra pins above and below the horzontial pin on the left hand side (http://i52.tinypic.com/2mxhg1j.jpg) that do no exist on the Mac Mini HDMI to DVI adaptor (http://i53.tinypic.com/2ywesrp.jpg).
Ive checked other converters and it seems that all of them are setup the same way, with two pins above and below.
Has anyone else had to deal with this issue? I really dont want to go and buy the Mini DisplayPort to VGA adaptor for one-time use.
Thank you!

Welcome to  Discussions!
What you are seeing is the difference between an analog and digital DVI connector, as DVI as a specification can provide both types of signal, depending on implementation. When used in a mode where only one or the other type of signal is provided, the different connectors prevent a mismatch. VGA being analog, the DVI to VGA adapter is using an analog DVI connector. The other connector you are dealing with is a digital only connector. HDMI is digital only, hence the HDMI to DVI adapter being digital only. Thus you can not adapt from the HDMI port to VGA with just passive adapters, you would need a conversion device between. It would be cheaper and more effective to use a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

Any help with a Time Capsule install and Mac Mini server screen share?

Installed a Time Capsule, now I can't access my mac mini server. I see the files/folders, but cannot screen share with the mini from my macbook pro. Any help? Error below when trying to use the "screen share" button in Finder. Macbook Pro and Mac Mini are using Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
Connection Failed Error: Please make sure that Screen Sharing (in the Sharing section of System Preferences) is enabled on the computer to which you are attempting to connect. Also make sure your network connection is working properly.
Please help, I'm really stuck on this one!

Try removing the TC and see if the problem disappears.
Screen Sharing has a checkered histroy looking back through the posts..
https://discussions.apple.com/message/16026896#16026896
There are many discussions about failing after changes in Lion.. I haven't seen the equivalent ML yet.. the TC may not be root cause, just the initiator of the problem.
It could be the BTMM associated with the TC.

How do you do home share with in different accounts on the same computer?

How do you homeshare within different log in accounts (and itunes accounts) within one computer?

Simply connect them. One computer with one iTunes can manage multiple devices. They're tracked by S/N but you might wish to assign them unique names so that you can track them yourself.
The only minor issue is app updating and purchases while on the computer. It's necessary to log out and back in to the "correct" ID. Much easier to do these things from the iPods.

You can follow Mpw1979’s reply, here is detail information.
“When I tried to change the compatibility mode on Winword.exe I found there were no options available so I right clicked and selected Troubleshoot Compatibility.
From here select Troubleshoot Program then tick I Can't See My Problem Listed and then select Windows 8 from the next screen and apply the changes and it worked.
I should also note I had Abbyy finereader installed and the plugin was causing Word to crash so i simply opened in safe mode and disabled the plug-in.”

Get Error message R6043, how do I resolve this issue with Itunes

I got the update message and I usually immediately download and install the update, but this day I ignored the message. A few days later I got this POP Up stating that a C++ runtime Microsoft Visual app is attempting to load a program in the wrong place. I don't know if Itunes is running for a 64 bit program which I have. Windows 7, 64 bit or running or the 32 bit from my transferred programs from another computer which was a 32 bit operating system. PLEASE help... I thought to Uninstall Tunes and then Reinstall, but I need more information. Just as I am learning how to work with Itunes, this happens,..

How do I resolve synching issues with iphone 4S

All of a sudden the notes on my iphone are not synching with my BT Yahoo account? They are showing on the Yahoo app but not being updated on the notes app on the phone itself?

From an older post:
you sync through iTunes. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes. When you connect your iPhone, find it in the left nav bar in iTunes, click on it, then click on Info. The top two choices should say Sync Contacts with and Sync Calendars with.
"If you do not see "Outlook" as one of the choices for sync'ing your Contacts and Calendar, you need to find and install an iTunes Outlook Add-in. Then you need to go to Outlook > File > Add-Ins. Under Inactive Application Add-ins, look for iTunes Outlook Addin. You will need to restart your computer. You will know you were successful if iTunes reconfigures so it recognizes the Outlook Addin. Then you should be able to sync."

How do you resolve Financial Management service validation error in EPM ?

Does anyone know how to resolve Financial Management service validation error from EPM Diagnostic Report?
Environment:
Quad-Core AMD Processor 2.2 GHz (Server Machine)
5 GB RAM
Server 2003 Standard 32-Bit SP2 (also tried in Enterprise)
Application Server:
WebLogic Server 9.2 Custom Installation (with Add-Ins)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ias/htdocs/wls_main.html
Database:
Oracle 10gR2 (Standard Installation per step-by-step guide from Oracle)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/index.html
Hyperion EMP System 11.1.1.3:
Installer
Foundation Services (4 Files )
EMP Architect
Financial Management, Planning, Financial Reporting and Web Analysis (primarily interested in FM)
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/bi/performance-management/index.html
The following are the sequences of steps carried out during the Installation and Configuration of EPM:
1)     Installed the Server along with its respective SP2 – Shutdown the machine
2)     Assigned IP and DNS addresses
3)     Installed Window components by ticking Application Server Console, Enable COM+ access, IIS and DNS
4)     Run “dcpromo” to create a Domain Controller with default values and assigned a domain name – Shutdown the machine
5)     Installed Weblogic Server 9.2 and configure it using Configuration Wizard – Selected “test environment” and ticked default “listening port” – Shutdown the machine
6)     Basic installation of Oracle Database 10gR2 using Step-by-Step guide provided by Oracle and carried out Password Management steps. After installation, I then created a user “oracle” and assigned it to ora_dba User Group with the required Local Security Policies – “log on as a batch job” and “Act as part of operating system”
7)     Logged into database and acknowledge the licensing window – Shutdown the machine
8)     Restarted the machine and checked all relevant and newly installed Database and WebLogic services are running.
9)     Started Installing EPM components by double clicking “InstallTool.cmd” and selected all relevant components at ONCE as per Installation Guide – Result: - All selected EPM components were successfully installed without errors or exceptions
10)     At the end of installation window, I carried out the configuration in the following scearios:
Scenario 1: Configuration all at Default settings
Scenario 2: Configuration all, except “Application Server” I selected the WebLogic9.2
Scenario 3: Configuration all, except “Application Server” and “Workspace Web Server” were being Welogic9.2 and IIS HTTP
RESULT: After all numerous installations, all came down to ONE ERROR from “Diagnostic Report” stating the following:
Financial Management:
FAILED SVR: HFM Service Validation Check if HFM service in working state.
Error: Error message: <03/11/2010 05:32:26 PM> CreateApplicationCAS... Failed at line: 2
Recommended Action: Make sure HAT utility is working. 1 s
I then simply ignored this error and tried to deploy an Application, all worked fine until you get to the point at “Job Console” where you need to press “Refresh” button. Progress remained at 12% until it got timedout after 300 seconds and force attempt of refreshing resulting in “aborted” job with the following error:

This is, I believe preventing me from deploying Consolidation Apps, including Sample Application provided with EPM Downloads. I have tried installing and configuring by components. All failed with the same outcome.
I have been working on this effortlessly in different combinations to get at least one Financial Management Application get deployed so I could enhance my learning adventure. As it stands, I am not sure where to get help and completely lost in the World of Oracle. I am also come to wonder whether “Free Downloads of EPM” are indeed, is “complete and is in working-state” or do I need a licence to use for personal learning experience? Are there different downloads for different needs or/users For example, eDelivery downloads are different from OTN Agreement downloads?
I have downloaded the files from following URL:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/bi/performance-management/index.html
I am completely lost and all services are up and running and not sure what I am missing!! Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

How do I resolve a "printer not connected" error message?

Dear Mac Community,
For the better part of a year I have printed flawlessly to my HP Color LaserJet CP4020 on my home wireless network. Recently I upgraded to OS X 10.8.4 and now when I print, the queue stalls and I receive the following error message, "The printer is not connected."
Here is what I have tried so far to resolve the issue but to no avail:
Downloaded and installed the latest HP firmware and software drivers
Deleted the printer and added it again in Preferences>Print & Scan
And, of course, the above noted bullet point is the rub: If the printer were not connected to my wireless network then it would be unable to be added! But since I can add the printer, my OS is definitely seeing the printer on the network.
After the above diagnostics I tried printing from native Mac OS apps (e.g. TextEdit) and non-native apps (e.g. Microsoft Word), and both worked.
Then they stopped.
Then they would print after several minutes of delay (e.g. a single sentence Text Edit test print page took over a minute and a five sentence Word document took over 5 minutes).
Then they stopped.
And now I cannot print anything!
In case it helps, my specifications are as follows:
MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.4 with 8 GB RAM, 500 GB HD, 75 GB available HD space
HP Color LaserJet CP4020, Firmware v.20120112 07 .111.0, Software Driver v. 9.4
Any help anyone could provide would be GREATLY appreciated.
Sincerely,
Randy

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Select "/var/log/cups/error_log" from the file list on the left side of the Console window. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar. Then select the messages from the time of the last failed printing attempt. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
