HT1528 Enabling root on Mac OSX 10.7 Lion Server

The direction provided from apple do not work and the alternative ones from general posting to copy the hash not so good idea.
Anyway I normally work with RHEL and Solaris Unix. But have had some experience with Fedora and it´s mainly a desktop Linux. The trick for enabling the root account works and it very simple compare to the long instruction given.
1) open Terminal
2) from the command prompt type: sudo passwd
3) enter your new root password, then enter it again to confirm.
4) Type: su - root (and give your new root password when prompted)

Install the 64-bit version and it should work. For me it was not the default download on the Shockwave player download page.
Do not set Safari to run in 32-bit mode.

Follow the steps for Lion.
But, why are you doing this? I've never found the need to do that.

Where can I get current info on SysAdmin Certification(s) for Mac OSX SL and Lion?

Where can I get current info on SysAdmin Certification(s) for Mac OSX SL and Lion? The Apple website for this is "under construction" for weeks now...

Certification test for OS X 10.7 Lion are not available yet. I assume they will be nearly identical to the test of 10.5 and 10.6. Hopefully, the reason the certification website has been down for a while is that they are updating it with the new information. Though I really wouldn't expect any 10.7 certification test to be available for 2-4 months. Peachpit Press didn't publish their training material for 10.6 until October even though 10.6 was released in August.
As far as the 10.6 Certifications:
Certified Support Professional, 10.6 requires the 9L0-403 exam.
Certified Technical Coordinator, 10.6 requires the 9L0-403 as well as the 9L0-510 (Server Essentials) exams.
The information for the Certified System Administrator, 10.6 is "hidden" on the integral7 website but according to this Wikipedia entry, you need to pass the 9L0-510 Server Essentials exam as well as these three:
Directory Services
Deployment

Air application full screen error in Mac OSX 10.7 Lion

Hi
   We have an air application built using Flash Builder 4.5 with 4.5 SDK.
   The air application no problem to run on Windows and Mac OSX 10.6 Snow Leapard. However it has full screen issue on Mac OSX 10.7 Lion. When change to full screen mode, the whole screen disappear, press ESC and turn back to normal stage without any issue.
   We then use Flash Builder 4.5 with SDK 4.6 to compile and release, install the air application to Lion OS but still no luck.
   Air 3.1 installed on Lion OS
   Can some one please help?

Is this still a problem?

Need Mac OSX 10.7 Build server

We bought some new Mac Minis and on one of them I need to have Mac OSX 10.7 running so I installed VMWare Fusion
However, when I go to install the O/S on the VM Image, I can't find a Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion) Installation Disk Image to boot the image to begin the install process.
I can find Update Images but they don't boot the image. I need a .dmg file that will start the install process of Mac OSX 10.7 and Apple isn't allowing me to download an Image (.dmg) file. It just keeps trying to run the install and that doesn't work because the install process is trying to run on the Mac OSX 10.8 machine NOT the VM Image that I'm trying to spin up.
Where can I find a Lion Install Disk Image?

OK - thanks. I understand what I will have to do but I'm not happy about it.
I have 100's of machines that I support and the Macs are always the most troublesome because Apple doesn't understand how IT professionals need to operate. I can't telnet to the Mac to get this to work, I literally have to get on the console on a machine that's across the country to download an image file (using safari) which then I have to copy that image file to a netshare in order to get back to the machine I was working on. I then have to run a second Update on the O/S to get 10.7.5. Instead of simply supplying an image file of the latest O/S, I need to waste a day jumping through hoops doing things "The Apple Way".
I appreciate your attention to this.

HT1528 I can not find the enable root user in, I am using Lion

I can not find the enable root user in, I am using Lion

First off, it is a "Bad" idea to enable 'root', as that is the one known account that exists on every Unix system. If 'root' is enabled, it makes it much easier to break into a Mac via the one account that has absolute control over everything.
Having said that...
i too do not observe in editor section enable root user when I perform what Kappy offered in link.
Did you click on "Login Options" to get the "Join..." button?
Did you click on "Open Directory Utility" ?
Did you go to the Menu Bar and click "Edit"? It should be right there 2/3's of the way down the "Edit" menu -> "Enable Root User"
If you want another way.
Start an Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal session
sudo su -
password: <enter your admin password here>
passwd
Changing password for root.
New password:
Retype new password:
You have now enabled 'root'. I hope you gave 'root' a very VERY STRONG password, as you have just opened yourself up for script kiddies to go after your root account.

How to Install DBD::mysql on Mac OSX 10.4.7 SERVER Universal

I spent 3 days trying to figure out how to install DBD::mysql on OSX 10.4.7 Server Universal on my Mac Pro.
I didn't think it would be so hard just to get it installed so I could use Movable Type. Yikes!
Anyway, I wrote up a tutorial on what I did to get it installed. Hopefully it will help you out if you are having problems installing DBD::mysql on Server 10.4.7 Universal with a Mac Pro.
DISCLAIMER: I cannot say whether or not this will work with any other version of Server or Macintosh. Inside the article below is a link to how to install DBD::mysql on other versions of OSX that may or may not work for you.

Hopefully this worked for those with Mac Pros!

Remote Desktop via F5 Firepass (Mac OSX 10.7 Lion to Windows XP Professional)

Hi Everyone
I'm trying to log-in to my Windows XP Professional PC at work from my OSX 10.7 Lion Mac using F5 Firepass.
On both Safari and Firefox I can access the 'Terminal Servers' page. There are two links on this page to my machine, one of which uses java and the other uses something else.
On Safari, clicking on either of the links just loads up a sort of 'template' page with unclickable links like 'Datopic's Office Computer' and 'Full Screen Mode' along the top.
On Firefox, I have the same problem as Safari with the non-java link, but using the Java link I can actually see the log-in screen for my computer. Unfortunately, although I can move the mouse cursor and click on things (e.g. the 'Username' box), I can't type anything - I just get a sort of 'beeping' sound from the computer as if I'm trying to type on a screen with no input fields.
Can anyone tell me from this what the issue is? Please bear in mind that my technical knowledge in this area is limited beyond belief, so the solution could be really simple.
Thanks
Datopic

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I found the solution...for me, anyway...
I have a new Mac Mini Server running Lion Server and Lion. I could not get CS5 to install and was getting the same "DW049" errors.
As a new(er) Mac user I am hesitant to start tinkering with my system drive, partitions, OS, etc...I saw a lot of forum responses all over the place discussing the migration of apps from a MacBook Pro, loading Snow Leopard on top of Lion, etc. etc.
I didn't do any of that.
I simply removed any old install files.
Updated Java for OS X Lion here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1421
Restarted
Worked fine. Java update came out in July, apparently.

Problem Mac OSX 10.7 Lion & Flash

Dear Adobe,
i've a macbook pro 15' top-2010 with osx 10.7 Lion & Adobe Flash Player 11.0.1.98 (beta) and i've this problem (with safari, firefox and chrome):
- when i go in a facebook game (cityville, poker, or other flash games) my cpu go at 100% and the browser becomes unusable.
in all the other sites (youtube, normal flash site,...) i haven't any problem.
note that all the browser are update at the last stable version for my operating system. i've also tried to install the last stable version of flash (10.3.183.5)

Hi vittmast,
I'm sorry you're running into this, I have a system that's similar so I gave CityVille a try. While my current city isn't very complex, my CPU usage was not as high as yours.
Can you check your console for any repeating errors that might be suspicious? I ran across a bug yesterday that effected AIR applications and Lion that has impacted users CPU/HD usage when using browsers. Probably not related here, but there might be more at play than simply Flash Player and Facebook.
Thanks,
Chrsi

Shockwave will not install on Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion)

I just tried to install Shockwave player, after updating to OSX Lion. The install program says it's incompatible with this OS. You can continue the install anyway, but the software won't run in any browser I tried (Chrome/Safari). I looked on the Adobe site, and known problems are listed for every Adobe software but Shockwave. Anyone else have this problem? Should Adobe add Shockwave to the list of possible conflicts with OCX Lion?

Install the 64-bit version and it should work. For me it was not the default download on the Shockwave player download page.
Do not set Safari to run in 32-bit mode.

Network Problem AFP/SAMBA - MAC OSX 10.4.8 (Server & Desktop)

Hi all,
I don't know if someone have already post this problem.
We have many Apple ( + - 200) as desktop (G5,G4 no Intel) and with the last 2 update of 10.4 (7&8) we have many problems with the volumes of the servers.
The servers have Linux as OS and Fullpress for Filesystem.
The linux version is : Red Hat enterprise Linux 3.
The Samba Version is : 3.0.14 a
The Full Press Version is : 15.01
10.4.7
In AFP sharing we see some folder with lock put from Old OS9 (with the other relase of 10.4 before 7 we don't see them).
10.4.8(desktop & server)
The network speed is very slow. If we copy from Server to Server or we copy from server to desktop the speed is avarage to 500-700 kb/s with 100mb or 1000mb network connection (LAN).
If we copy (with the same network setup in the client) from a Unix server with Helios the speed is more and more fast (from Fullpress 2 gb -> 2 hours from Helios 2gb -> 3 minutes)
the problem is , if we don't update to version 7 & 8 , the release 10.4.5(for example) copy the same file to server or desktop more and more and more fast (2gb from full press avg. 5 minutes).
How can we fix this?
(sorry for my english)
All Mac OS X (10.4.8) All System

"maybe change the protocol is a solution (but i can't change ) .
the "problem" is for esample if you have an Online Databank with images/xpress/indesign ( for me with fullpress and helios) and if we change the protocol we "destroy" the resources of files and something going wrong in the db(many many problems).
We must use Fullpress and Appleshare (years and years of data stored) and a change is not very easy."
Well not necessarily. Im sure your system coud be tranistioned to something new. You have all the data.. its just a matter of converting to another system. I doubt its impossible - just REALLY expensive
"For the fullpress (i'm not sure) i think to listen talk about bonjour , but i'm not sure and i don't knows the difference from appleshare (that "fullpress" says it is an old protocol).
Time ago i have also 6 Silicon with Full press but Os X don't have problem , but the Os arrived at version 10.4.5 so... The helios (in appleshare and smb) don't have problem."
Well technically i beleive Appleshare was basically the old afp protocol over appletalk, this is pre OS X (so OS n-9.x.x). Appletalk was the old apple networking protocol similar to what Bonjour is now. However now afp runs over tcp/ip and 3.0 functions more like NFS or SMB. You can access it with Bonjour networking or standard tcp/ip. I cant imagine this Full Press software not supporting that from here on out. I suspect most bureaus are all but rid of non OS X macs so it would make sense theyd let appleshare support die while moving to afpovertcp, smb and possibly webDAV and NFS.
"Now i think maybe is a problem of Linux and how manage the connection , but something change in the clients (upgrade) and not in the servers so....."
THis is most likely the case.. or something very simiilar.

Tips on using Mac OSX 10.7 Lion with Adobe Connect

Some folks have run into some audio issues when using Captivate and Presenter files playing in a Connect room after upgrading to Lion.
Apple decided to stop installing popular browser add-ins such as Java and Adobe Flash with Lion.
1. http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp to install Java for Mac
2. http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to install Flash for Mac
Reboot and all should be well. Google's Chrome browser automatically includes Adobe Flash but Safari and Firefox do not so this is a necessary step.
Those that are hosting Adobe Connect on Lion Mac's will be needing a new host add-in under development. Apple has fixed the bug that was affecting the current Adobe Connect Add-in. The fix is in Apple's 10.7.2 Update coming shortly. I'm using it now and all is well again.

Thanks for replying.
When I open Pages from 'Applications', this is the screen that comes up -
Hmm, I'm slightly confused, I just right clicked Get Info on the Pages app and this appeared...
It says it was modified 2011, but its version 4.2 which didn't exist in 2011... right?
Sorry to bother you with this.
