HT5678 What the important thing we need before we can setup The Mountain Lion Server application

I want to set up mountain lion server application on my mac osx 10.83 , may i have some suggestion before i set up it to my macBook .

I'd ask what requirements you're looking to fulfill by using OS X Server on a MacBook system, as that's not a typical hardware configuration for a server.
OS X Server and most other server operating systems expect static IP addresses and full-time availability, where a MacBook tends to be mobile and to thus have a variety of dynamic DHCP IP addresses and networks, and MacBook systems also tend to be closed and hibernating at random times.
It's certainly possible to use this hardware as a server (and it can be useful when you're learning how to manage a server and have a "scratch" MacBook available), but the hardware is not necessarily a good fit.
As you add services, you'll want to have DNS services established and verified, and — on a typical NAT'd local area network with no other LAN-local DNS services — that involves configuring DNS services on OS X Server itself. DNS is a prerequisite for various other OS X Server services.
But yes, do have a disk backup, either Time Machine, or as an external disk backup, or however you preserve your data. Skimming the OS X Server manuals can help save some time figuring out the platform, too.

Do I have to update to lion before I can update to mountain lion in the summer?

Sorry, Ive just never updated from snow lepoard and not sure how this will work... Do I need to purchase lion now or do I just need to wait and "save money" and just update to mountain lion when it comes out??

If your machine qualifies for 10.8, I'm almost positive Apple will provide a one step upgrade from 10.6
Cheaper it might not be, easier it will be.
You can get iCloud email on Snow Leopard 10.6

BE WARNED!
10.7 will not run a lot of your older software, especially PPC based programs and hardware drivers for third party printers and such.
Some of this great older software can never be gotten again as some developers decided to bail when AppStore arrived, not interested in sharing 30% with Apple and being subjected to their many "changes" and control.
10.6 has Rosetta and it run PPC based software, Rosetta is not on 10.7.
DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE UPGRADING TO 10.7!!
It can cost you more in software upgrades, RAM requirements, new external hardware and possibly slow down your machine(s) if they are dated.

Lightroom 3 - import new photos freezes before I can setup anything

I did one import succesfully couple days ago. Today I am unable to import new photos. Not sure if it is related, but I added CS5 Suite today. I have a very recent PC with the i7 processor.
I go to: File --> Import Photos ...
Next, the import window opens and I get the hour glass (spinning wheel). Tried restarting LR several times and left it sometimes for a long. It does not come back and I am unable to do anything.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Hi Victoria,
My storage configuration is two internal SATA drives, one USB external and a NAS box on a Gigabit Network (copper).
I have disconnected the external drive and removed the network shares without noticing any difference. I am running Vista Ultimate 32-bit with 4GB RAM.
PS i've also run scandisk and defrag on my drives!
Best Wishes,
Darren

Hello Cheryl.
You may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

IWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

iWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?

There's no reason you can't go on using iWeb for this - with iWeb '08 you have to publish to a local folder (i.e. on your Mac) and then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to your hosting service: and you have to make sure you enter the new URL in the Publish information or the feed won't work properly; this done, an iWeb podcast should work fine.
Of course there is still the problem that iWeb is not supported and sooner or later a system upgrade may break it. You could look at RapidWeaver: you can make podcasts with that, though the last time I looked into that - which was admittedly some time back - I didn't feel it was ideal for this. There are lots of other podcast creation programs or services around. WordPress is OK but it may be a bit of a steep learning curve: Libsyn is an online service that seems to work reliably. Blogger writes messy feeds but does usually work. Podcast Maker used to work well - I used it myself a few years back - but it rather looks as if it's gone moribund and it may not be reliable with Lion/Mountain Lion, so you would want to check into that.

No reason to be embarassed. You are not alone.
You will need an external drive. If you have a Time Machine drive without enough disk space you can create the clone there however it's advised that you keep your Time Machine and clone on separate drives. If the drive dies you loose both types of backup.
Download and install the clone software. Everyone has their favorite. These are the two most common applications used. I prefer SuperDuper because of it's simplicity in setting up. It's also free for the first clone where with CCC you have to give a Credit Card then cancel if you do not want to keep.
SuperDuper! http://www.shirt-pocket.com/

Select your drive in the To popup. Click on Copy Now. That's it.
Yes, it really is that simple....

My iphone 5 screen needs to be turned on and off twice before I can slide the screen to unlock it.

My iphone 5 screen needs to be turned on and off twice (hit the top button or home button, then turn off the screen again, then hit one of the buttons again) before I can slide the screen to unlock it. Also, when I was using it yesterday, the volume on my music was sliding up and down by itself, it clicked on albums by itself and wouldn't register my touch, the song kept pausing and playing by itself, and when I backed out of the app, all my running apps started sliding back and forth across the screen as if I were running my finger back and forth extremely fast. It also then opened the phone app, started to call one of my contacts, and wouldn't let me hang up. My phone is relatively new (got it back in June) and I haven't dropped my phone at all, haven't gotten it wet, etc... The only thing I've done to it recently is install iOS7. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it?

Took my phone to the Apple store this week and they told me it was a hardware/screen malfunction. They replaced the screen for free since it was under warranty. Now it works fine again!

When I try to rent a movie from Apple TV, I'm told it will be 3 hrs. before I can view it. I hit return on the menu button; attempt to Play; then told it will be 5 hrs. before I can view the movie. What's up with that?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I'm not sure if you are referring to how long it's taking or why it varies.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
If your internet speed varies, the time will be recaculated from time to time.

Why would it state under the "more about this mac" that i already have10.8.3 and then in the app store say i need to "resume" do you know what i mean? is it possible i already did download mountain lion entirely once? I am confused and don't want it twice

This is cause by the way the App Store checks to see if an application is installed on your system.
Basically when an app is installed it is in the Applications folder and this is where the MAS looks for them. So it looks at your purchase history for the apps you bought and looks in the Applications folder to see if they are installed. If an app is in your purchase history but not in the Applications folder the MAS says you need to install it.
For normal apps this works fine but the OS doesn;t install into the Applications folder. So the MAS sees you have Mountain Lion in your purchase history but it's not in the Applications folder and so it says you need to download it.
Hopefully one of these days Apple wil fix this.

Perhaps you would tell us what words it does show...

Guys, any idea what is the exact thing to put to resize or enlarge the image size to make the photo larger or bigger when uploading in Facebook?? thanks

You could check "Resize to Fit" and specify the exact dimensions you want in the Lightroom Export dialog box.
But a word to the wise ... don't bother ... there is a maximum size that Facebook allows for photos, and you'd be wasting your time specifying anything reasonably large in Lightroom's Export dialog box.

AE what are those things that turns on and off in the Project

I had was $1,000 credit in September of 2014. In October, I called Digital Juice, because I had a stroke 25 years ago and I told him I would be foolish to give up $1,000 and join Platinum Account. He agreed with me. He then said why don’t you join Platinum Account, and he can update the $1,000 to the account. I said, OK. Then about January 2, $1,000 was in the Platinum Account. I am starting to do some Wedding videos, and I just noticed that the $1,000 credit wasn’t there. What happened to my $1,000? Oh by the way, your Update Status only goes back to December and not back to July.

FCP 7.0.3 Import window closes itself before I can select anything

I just reinstalled FCS on my mac book pro and updated it to FCP 7.0.3. I am running Yosemite. When I select file>import the dialogue pops up but before I can click on anything or make a selection it closes. Anyone else see this behavior? What might be the cause?
MBP Retina (2012)
2.3 GHz core i7
16 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M
OS 10.10.1

Well, I would say trash your preferences, but this is a brand new install...
One big thing might be that FCP 7 isn't supported on Yosemite...nor on the previous OS. FCP 7 was discontinued before both came out, and neither were written with support for FCP 7 in mind. The core of FCP is Quicktime, and Quicktime is being phased out by Apple...it is moving towards AV Foundation, which is the core of FCX. In fact, QT 7 that is the main core of the app isn't on Yosemite, only the hobbled QTX.
