How do you set up a deployment server to image a Macbook Air

I have 240 Macbook Airs to deploy. Having problems gettng them to netboot to the deployment server using the USB network adapter.
The server is 10.6.8. Does it need to be updated to Lion to work?

The new MacBook Airs should boot off a Snow Leopard server machine running Netboot for these machines. At least the 85+ machines I've imaged off my SL NetBoot box do, so that's not the issue. Are using Netboot or something else? What image/build of Lion is on the box that you're trying to boot these machines against? I agree with Captfred if you're trying to use some system restore image for the MacBook Airs, I wouldn't bother. I compiled a custom boot image that installs 10.7.2 already out of the box and all of the Airs fired up just fine.

How do you set up a Testing Server?

My Local and Remote settings have been working fine for years but
now I have the need to set up a Testing Server and I'm not sure
what to enter in the fields when editing my site. Attached are
my settings for Local, Remote and Testing. When I published to
the Testing Server this morning overwrote the Remote Server
and had to ask fat cow to restore my original site. Please advise.
Thanks.

Your website is at http://bigcowmusic.com/. You want to use http://bigcowmusic.com/testing/ as your testing server.
Create a folder called testing in your site root.
In the Testing Server category of your site definition, set Host directory to point at the testing folder. Since you left that field blank before, it suggests that leaving it blank points to the site root. So enter "testing/" (without the quotes) into that field.
Set the URL prefix for the testing server to http://bigcowmusic.com/testing/.
To test that it's working, create a file in the testing folder, and make sure that you give it a name that doesn't already exist in your site (this will avoid overwriting a live page if anything goes wrong). Test it within Dreamweaver. Then go to your live site, and see if the page exists in the testing folder. If it is, you're set to go.

How do you set up an FTP server using a NAS device?

I'm sure this question has been answered before. I run a small graphic design business from my home. Occassionly clients want to send me files and ask if I have an FTP site they can upload to. I recently purchased an NAS enclosure and added a 250 GB HD in it. It's hook up to a Linksys router. I can attach to it using the GO menu using "smb://STORAGE". It appears on the desktop. I have Comcast as my broadband service with a dynamic DNS. I have 2 folders on it, one password protected and the other a Public folder. I would like someone to be able to access the Public folder and upload and download files on it. Would someone be able to explain, in simple terms, how to set this up.

Well you actually need to have an ftp server running somewhere. I dont know (although i doubt it does) if your NAS has an embedded FTP or SFTP server. If it dosent youll actuall have to have people connect to one of your servers/workstations that has FTP enabled.
First youll need to log in to your router's admin panel and forward port 21 to the server/workstation that will function as the ftp server.
Then set up the mount for the NAS device at large or one of the specific folders on it with sharepoints or something on the mac that will act as the ftp server.
Set up a user as a FTP only user. Youll probably want to make this user only have FTP access (you can google or consult other threads in these forums for this procedure).
In this users home folder make symlinks to the shares with the command line:
cd pathto_ftpusers_homedir
ln -s /Volumes/NAS_Sharepoint NameOfFolderUserWillSee
Then create the file /etc/ftpchroot which will contain a list of users that will be limited to thier home directory when using ftp. i would use a command line text editor to do this (pico, vi, emacs... choose your poison).
the file should simply be a list of user shortnames, 1 per line.
Thats the basics of it. You can get more complicated and might indeed need to set up permissions and what not properly (youll probably want to use ACLS so you dont have to constantly change permissions or login as another user to access files that have been uploaded)but that should get you started i think.

How do you set the remote only to work with the MacBook and not the Hi-Fi.

I have a Hi-Fi Apple stereo hooked up to my Macbook but when I use the Apple remote, it controls both things.
So if I am scrolling through my music in Frontrow then the volume on the Hi-Fi stereo is turning down or up depending on which way I am scrolling.
My question is:
How do I make the remote work with only my MacBook?

Pair the remote with your macbook by isolating it point the remote at it while holding down the menu and next buttons. You see like a chain appear and that will mean the remote is paired. Now only the macbook will only respond to the macbooks remote. Do the same with the Hi-Fi remote and now the hi-fi will only work with the hi-fi remote.

HT201317 I constantly have to sign into Photo Stream on my MacBook. How do you set up Photo Stream to be autonomous on MacBooks?

I'm always signed into iCloud, and I always have 'checked' enable photo stream and automatic import. Does anyone know why I sometimes have to sign into Photo Stream (on my MacBook) when I'm wanting to import photos from my iPhone (over Wi-Fi) to my MacBook?

If you enabled photo stream on your PC after you did so on your iPad, you would only get photos from the last 30 days as photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days (even they remain longer on your device). Chances are the missing photos were added to photo stream more than 30 days prior to you enabling photo stream on your PC, and as such they are no longer in your photo stream.
To transfer the missing photos from your computer, can them to the camera roll on your iPad (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

How do you set up your Configuration Manager client when Imaging?

OK everyone we got an issue that we need to take care of sorry if this seems like a dumb question but we cant seem to make this work. How do you set your configuration manager client when you deploy your image(s)? I created package and pointed
it right to the config manager install directory just like the recommended one for USMT but it does not seem to work. I also tried to leave it blank but it appears to be mandatory.. So my question how do YOU get it to work for your areas?
Thanks

that might be the problem I dont see a "Microsoft Configuration Manager Client 5.0 All" anywhere. We threw something together that points to:
\\Server.Domain.com\SCCM_Install\SMSSETUP\CLIENT
What is happening is this.
Have a task to deploy Windows natively to the workstation
Drop applications to the workstation
do updates
capture back to server
All it does is
Drop the OS down
copy the Agent files
join to the domain
reboot
sit
sit
and sit

How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 in AEB N?

Help,
I'm a novice at Apple Remote Desktop (ARD) - not an IT guy, so it has to be pretty basic and detailed.
How do you set up Port Forwarding for ARD 2.2 on the Apple Airport Extreme BS router, 802.11 N. I have one at each end of the internet connection. At one end I have an Airport Extreme N router with 2 macs and eventually 1 windows XP machine (if I can) that I would like to be able to connect to over the interenet (the clients) and at the other end, I have a Mac with ARD 2.2 installed also with an Airport Extreme N router. Note: Both routers use Static IP addresses and all computers use static IP's internally not through DHCP. What are the settings or directions to do this.
I have read and printed out the directions for Configuration of ARD 3.0 that are posted many times in the ARD discusion group, but it uses a Linksys router ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm posted by Dave Sawyer). The Mac router is different, particularly with the place to set a Private IP address. I'm not sure about alot of things, but especially about the Private IP address, what number do I set it to, the one that is in my Network connections list? It automatically changes to a different number in AE N setup for Port Forwarding (by one) as if it is not suppose to the same?????
Are there any directions available that are as straight forward for the Airport Extreme N router, as the one's that are listed here for the Linksys Router's? ( http://www.starkpr.com/ard.htm )
Any and All help will be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I know I should have 3.0 but bought 2.2 just weeks before 3.0 came out and they would not give me an upgrade price, so I'm waiting for 4.0 to upgrade.
Thanks,
Jim

How do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail

how do you set-up a hotmail email address in mail?
I cant seem to add it. any ideas why it cant connect to the server? what server address should i be using?
regards
Brendon

Hi bmuur,
I also had the same problem.
I clicked Microsoft Exchange and kept trying to add my hotmail account that way but it kept asking for a server address for it to work.
If you go into Internet Accounts and instead of clicking Microsoft Exchange scroll down to the bottom of the list and click Add Other Account...
It will ask what sort of account you want to be created and I selected Add Mail Account and clicked create.
Enter your full name, hotmail email address and password.
I then clicked create and it worked for me.
Hopefully this solves your problem.

How do you turn your outgoing mail server to online vs offline?

How do you turn your outgoing mail server to online vs offline

I had this problem too but I fixed it today. I have been unable to send emails with two of my 4 accounts.
Go to the mail menu preferences.
Click on account in question.
Select the outgoing SMTP mail server (the one offline), this has a drop down list, click on the edit server list.
Click on the advanced button.
Make sure use default port is checked.
Make sure SSL is unchecked (unless your provider requires it, mine does not work with it checked).
Have authentication set to password.
User name should be your email address for that account.
Make sure correct password is entered (for some strange reason my password box was blank on this account).
Push the ok button.
For me the SSL box was checked and the password was missing. This is strange to me considering I have unchecked the SSL Box on the mail preference advance page. Also, I went through the complete set up account when I first created the account, why was my outgoing server password box empty?
I hope this helps.

How do you set your email account

if this is your first email account you're adding to your iPod tough, go to the mail app. you'll have choices of what mail server you have. i think windows live mail isn't an option, so go to "other" and go from there by filling your email, name, and password. Im pretty sure thats about it. i use gmail so that was pretty easy.

unless i'm missing something, i think you got mixed up, this is easy google for walk throughs
i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups
