How to install ARD 3.6.1 Admin on Mavericks?

A few years ago (pre-Apple App store) I received a digital download of ARD Admin 3.6.1 from Apple, as the DVD installer quit working on version 10.whatever. Fast forward to today, and I am trying to install 3.6.1 digitally on my shiny new Mac Pro (can you even call it a tower anymore?), and the installer keeps upchucking at the very end. Digging through the logs, the only appreciable bit of data I can find is this :
"Cannot install on volume / because it is disabled."
Near as I can tell, the 3.6.1 installer doesn't meet some requirement or hurdle that exists in Mavericks. I received the digital version from Apple because the DVD version quit working because of OS upgrades, now the digital version is no longer working. So where do I go from here? I am really going to be upset if I have to throw down the full price of ARD *again* (this will be like the third time) for what is, essentially, the same program.
*RANT ON* I know I am far from alone in tiring of Apple treating ARD like a rented, red-headed step-mule. Why does Apple allow such craptacular, yet necessary, software to exist? This software is, hands down, the most un-Apple thing in the history of Apple. Apple should either devote the resources (God knows they can afford it) to make ARD world-class, or just kill it off already and let a third-party come in and do it better. *RANT OFF*

This is Apple's support article regarding installing the older (installer media) versions of ARD Admin on the newer OSes. The article is for Lion but does work for 10.8 and 10.9 as I've used the steps outlined many times:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4055?locale=en_US
An important point to remember is to run Software Update immediately after copying the application to your Applications folder. What you could do is download the update prior to extracting the Admin application. That way you'll have it ready. You may have to download previous updates first?
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1595
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1709
The other important point to remember is to leave the application where it is and not be tempted to move it.

Can't figure out how to install ARD on Headless Xserve G5 running 10.4.4

Ok, I'm getting really frustrated not being able to figure this out. I have a new Xserve G5 running 10.4.4 I have no services currently rinning on it. I have all the sever administration apps installed (also 10.4.4) But my first order of business is to install some other software on the server.
I bought Apple Remote Desktop 2.2 Unlimited and installed the administer stuff on my powerbook.
But When i came to seting up the sever for ARD im baffled. Most documentation refers to setting up ARD on the server though the aever admin app. But I can't find any reference to ard in server admin.
What am I missing ?

If it is on a company computer, you may need to have them check your permissions. If they are set right, you should not need to elevate the permissions.

How to install and setup macports for mac os mavericks, for open vpn purpose.

Hi Guys! I'm using OS Mavericks now in my macbook pro, I need help and suggestions regarding open vpn application that i can use for my laptop so that i can access my server in my office even im out of town and country. I found vpn network setup in network preference but i dont know how to setup. also others are suggesting macports for mac but still difficult to analyze and setup. I need to troubleshoot in terminal which i'm not familiar with commands. Please help me guys! Please!

You're going to need to figure out the required settings for the VPN server you're working with, whether you use the standard client or some add-on. That information is a prerequisite for a VPN client; for any VPN client.
If the standard VPN client present in OS X doesn't and cannot be gotten to work, then something like IPSecuritas or the OpenVPN client would be a typical fallback choice, but IPSecuritas is far more flexible — which means far more complex. These clients are available as application downloads; no Brew or MacPorts required.
Is this your server you're connecting into? Or is somebody else controlling it?
If it's your server and thus your VPN server, then you'll have the option to get either the VPN server in the gateway firewall box or the VPN server running in the target system configured to allow the OS X VPN client to work.
If the server is controlled by somebody else, ask them for the settings necessary for the VPN client.
As Barney-15E states, using Brew or MacPorts won't help, unless you're installing the VPN client that way — which would be a little unusual — and you're still going to have to figure out the L2TP / IPSec or PPTP or other settings here, irrespective of how the VPN client gets installed.

How to install xbox 360 controller on mac mavericks?

how to install wired xbox 360 controller on mac mavericks?
i installed this driver
http://files.tattiebogle.net/360/360ControllerInstall.dmg
but is not working

@mtnbkr81,
So you are trying to use the wireless controller? All that I have read points to more reliability for the wired when using it on a computer. Perhaps you should save money for a wired one?
I also forgot to mention the installation procedures on the .11 version. My controller does get recognized but as a genereric controller. Not specific to xbox360. But you can try this:
-Uninstall the pref pant and the couple of other files that have been written to your MAC. Use the search on "controller"
-once deleted run the .11 version of tthe driver. MAKE SURE THE CONTROLLER IS NOT IN THE USB PORT.
-after the installation is complete open up preferences adn you should see an xbox360 option
-open it and then plug in the controller
-it should then get recognized. You may need to play with some of the options.

How to install AIR in Non-Admin rights PC ?

-->In my company all PC has contorled, i want to install application in any Notebook for Sales Using,they can using AIR offline in anywhere
Thank you so much!!

On Mac OS, to install or update an AIR application, the user needs to have adequate system privileges to install to the application directory (and administrative privileges if the application needs to update the runtime). On Windows, a user needs to have administrative privileges.
IT administrators can install AIR applications silently using standard desktop deployment tools. For more information, see "Enterprise deployment" in the following page:

Install ARD 1.2 Admin on Tiger

I have the ARD 1.0 Install CD which I have used to install ARD 1.0 on to my Tiger-enable Mac. However when I launch ARD I get the message "The Remote Desktop software doesn't appear to be installed correctly. Please verify it is installed and restart this computer." I installed it as an administrator user. I cannot find an updater for ARD Admin 1.0->1.2. Can anyone tell where I can find one should there be one?

Sorry, but it's not possible. Tiger will only work
with ARD 2.2, client or administrator.
Hi there
I managed to obtain from a colleague the update for Remote Desktop Admin 1.0 to Remote Desktop Admin 1.2 - it is on the Apple site 'somewhere'. Installed it and it works fine. I use it to control my 50(!) OS 9.2.2 clients with ARD Client 1.2.4 installed on them.

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit

How to Install Coldfusion 8 64-bit on Small Business Server 2008 64-bit
I ran Coldfusion 8 on SBS 2003 Premium for 6 months with no problems. When we finally decided to cut over to SBS 2008, that’s when everything went to hell. I tried for weeks to get Coldfusion 8 to install properly on the new SBS 2008 64-bit box. During the course which, I found bits and pieces of information for Vista 64-bit and Windows Server 2008 64-bit installations. There are some distinct differences, however, with SBS 2008 since it runs core Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb. After countless unsuccessful attempts, one of which completed corrupted the box, I found the solution.
I have attempted in this white paper to detail the steps to assist others who may be in a similar situation. I don’t make any warranty for the information, but so long as you follow the steps carefully you should be fine. BTW, for those of you who say Adobe offers free technical support for licensed users, that’s not entirely true. Like I said, I purchased CF8 and originally installed it on an SBS 2003 Premium box. After we cut over to SBS 2008 and encountered problems, Adobe wouldn’t provide any technical support without charging. Moreover, based on my initial conversations with Adobe’s technical team, no one seemed to know much about running 64-bit on SBS.
From my understanding, only two versions of Coldfusion 8 can be installed in 64-bit: Enterprise and Developer. The “normal” install (which I paid a grand for) can only be deployed in 32-bit mode – gee, THANKS Adobe! By the way, in Developer mode only two distinct IPs can access the site in addition to the localhost. Any additional IPs will result in a CFML error message stating that the maximum number of IPs have been exceeded. At any rate, take your time and follow the steps to achieve a successful installation.
PRE-INSTALLATION TASKS
Back Up SBS
It’s always a good practice to backup your server before deploying any kind of major system changes. Although this step is optional, I recommend it in case you need to restore your server for any reason. Bear in mind, if your system ever gets totally corrupted, you cannot restore back from the twice daily incremental backup images alone. You will need a full backup with system recovery information to restore. Here are the basic steps:
Click: Start > Programs > Administrative Tools. Right-click “Windows Server Backup” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Click “Backup Once” under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Choose the “Different Options” radio button under Backup Options.
Choose the “Custom” radio button. What we’re primarily interested in here is backing up the OS – not your data partitions or attached drives.
Select the “SYSTEM (C)” checkbox, uncheck any others. Also, ensure that the “Enable system recovery” checkbox is selected before continuing on.
Under ‘Specify Destination Type’, I usually select the “Local drives” radio button and point it to a Terrabyte USB drive I use for backups. You can point this to a tape drive, or select the “Remote shared folder” radio button if you map to a UNC path to store your backup images. Just remember, make sure that whatever path you select can readily be accessed in the event of an emergency. Also, make sure the “Verify after writing (recommended)” checkbox is selected.
Under ‘Specified Advanced Option’, I usually select the “VSS full backup” radio button instead of the default since I don’t use a 3rd party backup product. If like me you rely solely on SBS for your backups, choose the full backup option.
Confirm everything and click “Backup”. This process may take several hours depending on the size of your system.
Verify ISAPI Filters:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane.
In the center pane under IIS, double click the “Modules” icon to verify that the ISAPI native modules are already installed for IIS. If it’s set up correctly you should see two entries:
IsapiFilterModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\filter.dll
IsapiModule %windir%\System32\inetsrv\isapi.dll
If either of these modules are missing, you will need to re-install these (google for a solution).
Set Up Development Environment
Create a directory for your CFML files outside of the default Windows location (e.g., default is usually C:\inetpub\wwwroot\). For the purpose of our install, I created a directory on a separate disk called: D:\DEV.
Copy and paste your CFML files and directories into the new DEV root Web directory. This will eventually be the directory where the Coldfusion installer places the CFIDE and CFDOCS folders.
Open IIS Manager and double-click the server instance in the left hand pane. Expand the “Sites” folder. Right-click the Sites folder and select “Add Web Site”.
Enter a name in the “Site Name” box (e.g., “test-site”). You will notice that the system will automatically create a corresponding Application Pool with the same name. NOTE: this is important to prevent conflicts between the DefaultAppPool (needed for SBS Web apps like OWA, RWW, etc.) and the application pool needed for Coldfusion to function properly in SBS 2008.
Point the “Physical Path” to the directory you created in step #1 above (e.g., “D:\DEV”).
Don’t worry about testing the connection. If you click “Test Settings” you may receive a warning that IIS cannot verify access to path (D:\DEV). Don’t worry about this for the time being.
Under “Host name”, enter a DNS path to your site (e.g., “dev.test-site.com”). Click “OK”.
Configure Application Pools for Installation
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “False” to “True”, and then click “OK”. NOTE: if you skip this step, Coldfusion will not properly create the required mappings during the install. We will change this setting back after the installation completes – more on this later.
Modify the application.host.config File for 64-Bitness
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Notepad” and choose “Run as administrator”.
Open the config file from within Notepad – default location: C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config
Do a search and change this one line from:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" />
To this:
<add name="PasswordExpiryModule" image="C:\Windows\system32\RpcProxy\RpcProxy.dll" preCondition="bitness64" />
Restart the IIS Admin service.
Set HTTP Compression
According to some threads I read, the http compression module can cause errors if you don’t disable it globally. To remedy this, perform the following:
Click: Start > Programs > Accessories. Right-click “Command Prompt” and choose “Run as administrator”.
At the command prompt, change directory to intetsrv by typing: cd inetsrv
Run the following command:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv>appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /-[name='xpress']
This will turn off HTTP compression for all sites in IIS.
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Double-click the “Compression” icon in the IIS section of the center pane.
Uncheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Recheck all of the boxes, then click the “Apply” button under Actions in the right-hand pane.
Restart the IIS Admin service. This should enable compression and coldfusion to work at the same time.
NOTE: if for some reason you need to reverse this, run the following command from the command prompt:
C:\Windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd.exe set config -section:system.webServer/httpCompression /+[name='xpress',doStaticCompression='false',dll='%windir%\system32\inetsrv\suscomp.dll']
INSTALLATION TASKS
Download the 64-bit installation package from Adobe – filename: coldfusion-801-wind64.exe.
Right-click the file and select “Run as administrator”.
Accept the terms of the License Agreement.
If you have an Enterprise license, enter it. For our purposes, just click the “Developer Edition” checkbox.
Select “Server configuration” – the default radio button.
I deselected all subcomponents and can’t guarantee that you’ll arrive at the same results if you select additional items like “.NET Integrated Services”. It should be fine, particularly if you install documentation. My preference was to keep the install as plain vanilla as possible.
Select the directory path for Coldfusion to install into – default is :C\Coldfusion
THE NEXT TWO STEPS ARE CRITICAL TO YOUR SUCCESS. Unselect “All IIS Websites” and select the “Configure specific IIS Website or another web server” radio button. Click “Add”, and then select your test Web site (e.g., “test-site”) under “IIS Web Site”. Hit “OK”.
Do NOT use the default directory path for the CF Administrator location (e.g., default path: “C:\inetpub\wwwroot”). Instead, point the installer to your new DEV root Web directory (e.g., “D:\DEV”). The bottom line, you want the installer to place the CFIDE directory and files within this folder, alongside your other CFML files and folders.
Enter an Administrator password.
Choose to Enable RDS, or not. I enable this by preference but it is not required. This allows you to make updates to files using a CFML editor directly vs. having to move/FTP the files over if you’re working remotely. Opponents to this argue that it’s potentially less secure, but for a lower environment I don’t see this as a major concern.
Confirm everything to kick off the install.
If all goes well you should see a message at the end stating that the install was successful. I recommend you uncheck the box that asks you to open the CF Administrator in the default Web browser after the install. NOTE: we will open it a different way during the post-installation tasks. The worst thing that will happen if you forget to uncheck the box is that you might receive an error that the command prompt hung – not a big deal – just close it and move on to the next (final) steps.
POST-INSTALLATION TASKS
Verify CF Installation:
The installation will create a new folder in your program group: Start > Programs > Adobe > Coldfusion 8. The default “Administrator” link will not work because it points to the wrong path: http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. The “127.0.0.1” or “localhost” path as you may recall in IIS, points by default to the “C:\inetpub\wwwroot” directory. Our CFIDE files, however, are located within: D:\DEV.
To bring up the CF Administrator logon page, open up a Web browser and replace the “http://127.0.0.1” part of the path with the DNS path name to your CF environment (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm).
This should bring up the Coldfusion Administrator Login screen. Enter in the Administrator password you created during the install to log in and configure your application server.
Verify that your test-site renders correctly by typing in your test URL into a Web browser (e.g., http://dev.test-site.com).
Fix Application Pool Defaults to Re-enable SBS Web Applications:
At this point, Coldfusion Administrator and your test CMFL Web site should be working properly. The problem is, default SBS Web applications like OWA, RWW and Companyweb will throw errors and fail to start. Fortunately, this is easily remedied by performing the following steps:
In IIS Manager, double-click the server instance in the left-hand pane. Click on “Application Pools” to display the list of server application pools in the center pane.
In the “Actions” pane on the right-hand side, click “Set Application Pool Defaults”.
Change “Enable 32-Bit Applications” - the second item from the top – from “True” to “False” this time. This should re-enable the SBS applications, which would otherwise result in 500 errors (e.g., OWA, RWW, Companyweb, etc.). There is no need to restart IIS.
Open a Web browser and test that you can once again connect to OWA, RWW and Companyweb successfully.
In IIS click to highlight the application pool for your new site (e.g., “test-site”). In the right-hand pane, click “Advanced Settings”. Ensure that “Enable 32-Bit Applications” – second item from the top – is set to “True” for this application pool specifically.
Lastly, jump up and down for joy! Hopefully now, everything is working. Best of luck!! ..Paul D (MCP).

First, it would be a good idea for you to specify what distro of Linux you're using, as not all are supported by Adobe.
Second, this is probably your problem right here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40416/why-is-lib-libc-so-6-missing
In a nutshell, CF expects the 32-bit version of libc.so.6 to be in /lib, but it's probably not. You might be able to modify the installer to point to the correct location for that file, or you might be able to create a symlink to the file - but as the above link describes, creating a symlink might have negative consequences.
As for installing CF 8 64-bit, that's only available with Enterprise, not Standard. If you want CF Standard 64-bit, you need to upgrade to CF 9.

How To Install and run XML/XSU/XDK?

Hello,
I have installed Oracle 8.1.7, have downloaded the utilities
and xdk but how to get all this integrated so I can work with
the sample codes?
I dont see the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/dbmsxsu.sql -- this is
the SQL script which builds the XSU's PL/SQL API. xsu12.jar
need to be loaded into the database before dbmsxsu.sql is
executed. This script is automatically ..Nor do I see catxsu.sql.
I assume this creates the xdkdemo/xdkdemo (user/password)? I
also re-run the runInstaller and attempt to see on the list any
XSU related installed or to be installed and not seeing it on the
list. What do I need to download?
A nice step by step how to install and test the install would
be nice.
Thanks in advance for any response.

I entered "install XSU" into the "search" box and got the
following back:

How to Install 9i real application clusters on a PC!

How to install and deploy Oracle Real Application Clusters on a single Linux
server with a minimal configuration (less than $1000 worth of harware):
First of all to install Oracle cluster database you DON'T HAVE to have a cluster, but a
single PC may do as well (of course thi kind of installation will not be of
much use for a production DB). A minimal server that I HAVE TESTED is: Celeron 750 MhZ,
512 Mb of RAM, 2 IDE HD, Linux Suse 7.2
This document contains the steps needed to deploy a working Oracle 9i Database with a
minimal comment. For a complete discussion refer to Oracle documentation, namely:
Oracle 9i administrator's reference part number A90347-02
Oracle 9i Linux release notes part number A90356-01
Oracle 9i Real Application Clusters Administration part numebr A89869-01
1) set up the partitions to user for Oracle software and the ones to use as raw devices
for the cluster DB. Soppose you want to you use an HD mounted as the 3rd IDE device
(/dev/hdc) for the cluster DB. Then you have to partition it with fdisk with a large
extended partition (say hdc1). Create a large number of logical partitions inside hdc1
(say hdc5 till hdc20) of about 300 Mb in size (all of the same size for simplicity).
2) Real application clusters wants to store the DB strutures into raw devices or a
cluster filesystem. Create the raw devices using the following command (as superuser):
raw /dev/raw1 /dev/hdc5
raw /dev/raw2 /dev/hdc6 ... etc till /dev/hdc20
you will need to repeat these steps after every boot
3) Set up the Oracle user (already done with the Suse distribution), environment variables
and mount point.
Install Oracle software enterprise edition
4) Complete the installation with a custom install of the real application cluster option.
This will add a directory called oracm under your oracle home, which contains the
cluster manager software
5) edit $ORACLE_HOME/oracm/admin/nmcfg.ora, it contains 3 lines for the set-up of the
cluster manager sofware:
DefinedNodes=localhost
CmDiskFiles=/dev/raw2
CmHostName=localhost
6) edit /var/opt/oracle/srvConfig.loc. It contains 1 line with the location of a raw device
used to sync the cluster nodes:
srvconfig_loc=/dev/raw1
7) start the cluster manager software (as superuser):
$ORACLE_HOME/oracm/bin/ocmstart.sh
8) as the oracle user start the global cache service:
gsd
9) you can now create a cluster db. to use the configuration assistant you need to set
an extra environment variable:
export THREADS_FLAG=native
10) start the configuration assistant: dbca
expect some errors in the script the dbca generates, best is to review them before
execution
11) after the db creation you'll be able to start two instances on the same DB,
which means you will have a cluster DB!
12) the environment variable ORACLE_SID will determine the instance to which you can
connect by means of a special syntax: SID.parameter=value
this is used for example for paramters like instance_number, thread, etc
also the parameter cluster_database must be set to true
All these problems are normaly handled by the dbca.
Have fun,

you can check it by running
srvconfig -version
it should output something like "9.0.0.0.0"
before running dbca, make sure ocmstart.sh and gsd are
running on both machines ("lsnodes -v" should putput sbshadow1
and dbshadow2).
BTW - I cant run clusca... Can somenome give a sample nmcfg.ora,
just to check my parameters? for dbshadow1:
DefinedNodes=dbshadow1 dbshadow2
CmDiskFiles=/dev/raw/raw2
CmHostName=dbshadow1
for dbshadow2:
DefinedNodes=dbshadow1 dbshadow2
CmDiskFiles=/dev/raw/raw2
CmHostName=dbshadow2
