Howto install headless desktop mini

howto install headless desktop mini

Is this going to be a how-to and you just forgot to post the instructions, or did you forget the question mark?
Just plug a monitor into the Mac to set it up as you like, the unplug the monitor when you're done. There are other ways, but that's certainly the easiest.

Headless Mac mini

just want to tell you: after installing leo, the mini KEEPS the higher screen resolution (1680x1050).For installation of leopard, i used the 23" cinema display. after finishing the installation routine, i disconnected the cinema display, and- voila, it works fine w/ apple remote desktop.

Thanks for the heads up on this development. This is good news, but I'm not sure I'm ready to upgrade all six of my headless Mac minis in the server room at work just yet...

Problem installing Palm Desktop on Windows Vista.

I am trying to install PalmDesktopWin414 on a couple different computers that are both running Windows Vista Ultimate. At the palmOne InstallShield Wizard welcome screen it generates the following error.
Internal Error 2738.
This interrupts the installation and it does not complete. Any suggestions?

Post relates to: Palm Z22

hello all , i got mine up and running late last night and thought that since it drove me nuts i would share how i did it with others having the same problem, for fyi i am using a sony clie sj22 and hotsyncing with an usb cable for reference with palm OS4.0 i think.
1. dont install the software just yet please follow
2.let palm desktop thru thye firewall program and make an exception for it there.
3. disable and antivirus software as it sees palm as a threat.
4.now install palm desktop i used my old version palm desktop 4.0 BUT DONT INSTALL THE PROGRAM IN PROGRAM FILES try somewhere else like documents( this i read on another site where someone tried it but failed there).
5.now turn on your palm pda and open up hotsync page, up in the upper left screen corner touch the hotsync tab and down should come a sub menu, form here you need to set up all of your conduits,modem sync preferencesmconnection setup etc make sure they are set for how you will be hotsyncing.
6.now open up the desktop program and on your toolbar you should see the hotsync icon click on this and set set the options here.
7.now you should be able to hotsync(communicate) from the pda to the computer .
Hope this helps , sorry that some one like me had to figure it out by staying up late until i got it .
MICROSOFT apparently doesnt care if you fix it that way you bite the bullet and buy a windows mobile device.
and PALM i think about the same
too bad if you think about all the millions of these devices out there they are pissing alot of people off and losing sales from it.

Messages.app no longer connects to Jabber after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2

Messages.app no longer connects to my company's Jabber server after App Store auto-installed Remote Desktop Update 3.8.2 (even though I never purchased that app). The Remote Desktop app can not be found anywhere on my machines.
I suspect the Remote Desktop update because Messages stopped connecting on my office MB Air after the update but still worked on my home iMac. Next day the iMac received the update and Messages stopped connecting on that machine too.
Messages attempts to connect for several minutes (it's been trying for 30 mins as I type this) and just hangs. Occasional I get the following error message:
Error: Messages lost the connection to the Jabber account 'account'. A network error occurred.
I've tried:
- Deleting and recreating the Jabber account in Messages.app
- Toggling on/off SSL (SSL required by our server)
- Toggling on/off auto detect server and port (port 5222 on our server)
- Deleting every plist, cache, etc., I could find in the Library for any IM client I've ever used
- Checked that Keychain trusts the Jabber server SSL certificate (it is a self signed cert)
- Tried connecting from three completely different networks including the company VPN
- Multiple PRAM resets
- Setup a Google Talk account in Messages - works fine
I'm at a loss...
Kurt

I installed and setup Adium. Adium works but Messages.app still does not connect to Jabber.

Mavericks won't install on Mac Mini Server

I am trying to install Mavericks on a headless Mac Mini Server. After I enter my admin password, the install stops with the error:
An error occured while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.
I have verified the disk - no issues
I repaired disk permission
I rebooted the server
No luck

Found a fix. I installed the 10.8.5 combo update then tried again. It is working now.

VNC on headless Mac Mini challenges

I have researched this on various forums and have not found a solution. Any help would be appreciated.
I have a headless Mac mini on my LAN. If a monitor is physically attached, and on I can VNC to the mini and have control of the desktop. If the monitor is disconnected, then when I VNC to the mini a connection is established, I see the desktop, but there is no control. There might be an active window hiding just about off screen. You can try and grab and move it. But you cannot move it back to the center. You can try and do a restart or shut down remotely but the command does not work.
Any thoughts?

Your correct, it's definitely a software issue. It has something to do with how ARD display after the login window. A bug somewhere...anyhow, this isn't an ultimate fix, but it does work for me.
After logging in with ARD and getting your garbled screen, SSH into your server and kickstart your ARD client. This is what I run:
sudo /System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/Resources/k ickstart -activate -configure -access -on -users sadmin -privs -all -restart -agent -menu
Yours might differ (at least your -users might). Here's an Apple article of various commands... http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108030
Hope this helps.

How do I install CC Desktop and Apps to a drive other than "C"?

After several problems, help from the forum, and finally an Adobe tech from India, the tech was able to install CC Desktop. The tech had to make hidden files visible, and change an existing file OO?? (I can't remember the last two letters") to OO??_old. Maybe this will help someone else.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but as the tech was downloading and installing CC Desktop, I didn't see any option for which drive to install it on. I am now installing CC apps. I see no option as to which drive to install the app.
I have my computer setup as C: operating system; D: sctratch; E: programs; F: files, G: cd/dvd.
How can I install CC Desktop to "E"? If done, will CC apps automatically install on "E"? Will CC Desktop work properly on other than "C" drive? Will CC apps work properly on other than "C" drive? If CC Desktop should always be on "C", can I stll install CC apps on "E"? I get no dialog box or window providing an option of where to install any of the CC programs.

While CCApp Prefs does give you this option, it doesn't respect the settings and still installs to C: Drive. This is a big problem for those using an SSD drive to boot. Why would something as simple as choosing your install folder, like every other application in the world be an issue that has taken over a year to fix?

Hi,
1. Install Remote Desktop Session Host and Remote Desktop Licensing Role Services using Server Manager.
2. Open RD Licensing Manager (licmgr.exe), Activate your server, then install your license
3. In RD Session Host Configuration (tsconfig.msc), set the Licensing mode to Per User and Specify your RD Licensing server name (itself). If you want you may configure these two settings via group policy setting instead. The path of the
group policy settings is Computer Configuration\ Administrative Templates\ Windows Components\ Remote Desktop Services\ Remote Desktop Session Host\ Licensing
4. You may point other RDSH servers to your RD Licensing server using RD Session Host Configuration or via group policy as mentioned above.
5. Optionally you may consider installing other Remote Desktop Role Services such as RD Gateway, RD Web Access, RD Connection Broker, etc.

Problem while installing discoverer desktop edition

HI
I find few error messages while installing discoverer desktop edition..
When i give oracle home as

Location: DiscovererDesk
it gives me a error
" oracle discoverer doesnot support multiple installations thus it cannot be installed on oracleHome92.It can only be installed on 'OraHome92'"
When i give oracle home as

It automatically takes my 9i oracle home path i.e E:\oracle\ora92 and gives me a error like
"The location specified 'E:\Oracle\ora92', is already used an oracle home for an
'Oracle 82 beta'.It cann't be used as an oracle home for nt."
I have oracle 9i and form6i,report 6i installed in my system.

Hi
The easiest way to get a fully working TNSNAMES in a version 4 environment is to use the Net 8 Configuration utility.
Here's a workflow:
1. From the Start button, select Start | Oracle for Windows NT | Oracle Net8 Easy Config
2. When it starts, check Add New Service and in the little box to the right type the name by which you want this connection to be known
3. Click the Next button
4. Select TCP/IP (Internet Protocol) and click the Next button
5. Enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address of the server that contains the database
6. In Port, enter the port number - it defaults to 1521
7. Click the Next button
8.In Database SID enter the name of the database, then click the Next button
9.Click the Test Service button
10. Provide a username and password for an account on the database, then click the Test button
11. If you see: Connecting.... The test did not succeed you got the username/password combination wrong or some other part of the setup
12. When you see: Connecting.... The connection test was successful click the Done button
13. Click the Next button
14. Click the Finish button
You should now have a valid TNSNAMES connection for use by Discoverer 4
Best wishes
Michael

Installing Palm Desktop 6.2 on Vista Business: only installs Media and Install, no Cal, Contacts

I attempted to install Palm Desktop 6.2 under Vista Business on top of Palm Desktop 6.2 beta. I selected a complete install. After the installation and the device sync, only the Media and Install sub-applications were available on the desktop (though all were still available on the handset). No Calendar, no Memos, no Contacts, nothing.
I subsequently re-installed (twice), each time removing the Palm Desktop software completely (from the control panel). Same result. Is there some trick to this I need to know?
Thanks.

Post relates to: Treo 700p (Sprint)

Thanks, I very much appreciate the help. But why does this happen? I mean, after I tried it,
I figured, okay, maybe if I change the security permissions no the executable so that my id
has full control... But no. I did that (also changed the permissions on the link), but when I
bring it up under my account without running it as Admin, it still brings up only the media
portions of the Desktop. Then I went through c:\Program\Files\Palm and gave full control
permissions to my id for every executable I found in the top level directory. Still no joy.
I do appreciate the help -- it certainly beats not being able to access my calendar at all --
but I'm afraid I have to call this more of a workaround than a fix. For one thing, I'd like very
much to be able to access my calendar from a userid on this machine that does not have
Administrative privileges. Any chance for a fix at any point in the future?
Thanks again!

Windows 8 won't install on my Macbook Pro, have installed Parallel Desktops 9.

Am trying to download Windows 8 onto my Macbook Pro. I've installed Parallel Desktops 9. The Windows download keeps telling me it can't download because the setup file is not supported by OS X. Parallel Desktops is telling me I can install Windows via a PC, DVD or image file. Does this mean I cannot install Windows by downloading it.

I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?

I downloaded and installed the: Mac mini EFI Firmware Update 1.6 on my mac mini running 10.8.1, was I correct in doing this ?
I didn't see this update come up in "Software Update"
If I was not meant to install this update, would it cause ANY damage at all to my mac ( this is my second as I dropped the first )
If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
The bottom of the page I link to says:
Boot ROM or SMC Version Information: MM51.0077.10
But when I click on "About this Mac" it says:
Boot ROM Version: MM51.0077.B10
SMC Version (system): 1.75f0
What does the additional "B" mean?
My mac mini is the Mid 2011 Model.
I am sorry if I am sounding super paranoid about this, but I don't want to have caused any permanent damage.

Hello,
It's somewhere between almost impossible & impossible to install the wrong EFI Update with all the checks it does!
Mac mini (Mid 2011) with Intel graphics
Macmini5,1
MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
Mac mini (Mid 2011) with Radeon graphics
Macmini5,2
MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
Mac mini Server (Mid 2011)
Macmini5,3
MM51.0077.B10 (EFI 1.6)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237
Not sure what the B means.
If I were to re-install ML would this fix any errors that this may have caused ?
No, Firmware is unaffected by any OS change or re-install.
