I have a mac mini server with leopard, macbook pro, imac and iphone 4 i would like to use the server as the host for all mail, contacts, directories, intranet etc i would like all devices to have mail pushed using outlook as the prefered mail client?
can anyone shed some light on how to do this i am currently using the server as a file storage system but feel it can deliver far more; ideally i would like the following;
email to push to all devices once sent form one device all devices have a copy of the sent item
accounting software that is shared on the server
access the files and directories securely form anywhere
create and host an intranet site
any ideas of how to setup easily or step by step guides
help would be greatly appreciated
regards

Start by getting DNS properly configured. If DNS isn't properly configured, most other services won't work right.

Then, the OS X server documentation will provide a wealth of knowledge on configuring services.

Can I move my iWeb from mac-mini to my new macbook pro ? iLife 11 does not have iWeb and I really want to use it to update my website on my new macbook Pro instead of Mac mini
There is no license required for iWeb. Just do a Wyodor suggested and you'll be ready to go. If you're running Lion however, consider the following:
In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

I have a Mac Mini running OSX version 10.8.5 and I want to connect an HP OfficeJet K60 printer using a USB connection. How do I do this please? I am not very computer literate so simple instructions would be helpful!
Hi Johnfromglenver,
There are no Mac drivers for the HP Officejet K60 printer. Therefore it is not compatible with the Mac operating systems. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region please click the link below to get the support number for your region. http://www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl. There may be other solutions that could work for you.
I hope this information helps.

I am attempting to re sync my iPad2 with my macbook pro iTunes and i get all the way to where it tells me to connect to iTunes...which my iTunes on my macbook sees as connected, yet my iPad still tells me to connect to iTunes...AND yet it is connected..HELP
Your iPad is going to show "Connect to iTunes" screen until you either set it up successfully or restore it. If you've already set your iPad up in the past, "Connect to iTunes" typically indicates the iPad is in Recovery Mode and you must restore it.

What can I do to get "maps" to work on my Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone when connected to wifi at home. iPhone "maps" work fine when connected to cellular service. Maps on wifi shows me about 55 minutes away from my current location. Very frustrating. I called Time Warne,r my service provider, but they had no answers since they were not knowledgeable of this situation. Anyone else having problem? I just updated all devices to newest update. Is that the problem.
Did you bring your wireless router with you? If so, it's possible the iPad is getting its location through the router and the router still "thinks" it's where you used to live.
Try taking your iPad to another location where there is wifi (such as a coffee shop). Then, try an app that uses location services. If it's accurate at another location, then the source of your problem is your router.

Network C7280 through Mac Time Capsule with iMac Snow Leopard, MacBook Pro S and Compaq W7
The HP works fine with the iMac desktop, but the 2 laptops won't print, although they seem to be recognizing the network. Says printer not connected. The HP Photosmart C7200 Wireless Network Test Report and Configuration Page seem to be normal and functional.
This question was solved.
View Solution.If you are using Snow Leopard or Lion and have HP software for pre-Snow Leopard (either from a CD not marked as compatible with 10.6 or you recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and had the HP software on your Mac before you upgraded - even if you did a standard uninstall of the old software or installed new software over the top of it) you must uninstall the software using the 'scrubber' option:
Go to Applications/Hewlett Packard/ click on HP Uninstaller
Click on Continue
Highlight your device on the left pane
Hold the Ctrl, Opt and Cmd keys and click on Uninstall <<<< Scrubber Option
There will be a pop up that asks if you are sure you want to uninstall ALL hp software. (At this point, if you continue, any HP printers you have installed will need to be reinstalled)
Click Continue and let it finish
Restart your Mac
Now reset the printing system:
- Sys Prefs, Print & Fax
- Right (control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add it. Look for the printer, select it and wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

Can anyone help me move my email from my mac mini to my new macbook pro
mac book pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)
Mail stores most preferences and all account settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (except the passwords, which are stored in the keychain). Everything else, including all your messages and mailboxes, is stored within the ~/Library/Mail/ folder.
Similarly, Address Book stores the settings in ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AddressBook.plist and the data in ~/Library/Application Support/AddresBook/.
Other applications store preferences and data in other places. You may want to ask in the appropriate forums for more information on those.
If both computers are running the same major version of Mac OS X, copying these files & folders from one computer to the other is all you need to do in order to have an exact copy of all your data on both computers.
In order to avoid potential permission issues, copy the files operating on the destination computer and while logged in as the user that’s going to use them. Also, be sure the affected applications aren’t running on either computer while doing that.
You may also want to read the following articles:
How to back up and restore your important Mac OS X 10.4 files
Transferring files between two Macintosh computers
Transferring data with Setup Assistant / Migration Assistant FAQ
If the major version of Mac OS X on the new computer is different, some applications may need to convert the old data to a new, different format. The data format used by Mail 2.x, in particular, is different from Mail 1.x. Problem is, the conversion from Mail 1.x to Mail 2.x is broken, and it may work or it may fail miserably, so be prepared for it if the version of Mac OS X running on the old computer is older than 10.4 (Tiger).
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder, i.e. ~/Library is the Library folder within the user’s home folder. -
Can I use a 19" LG monitor with a MacBook pro 13" and 24"cinema display
I would like to buy a new 13" mac book pro and 24" cinema display but would also like to use my existing 19" LG display to extend my destop space. Can it be done effectively and what kit do I need?
Thanks
Message was edited by: hotmangopickleAll a touchscreen is going to do is replace your mouse or trackpad, you can't use two hands at once to gain any speed advantage organizing photo's.
Also it would have to be a pretty big touch screen, place your two hands over a 17" screen and most of the screen is blocked.
If you need something like that, talk to Microsoft, they have a "Big @ss table" that does that.
Gives me a backache just looking at those people

10.6.5 allows rename of Public folder on Mac Mini but not on MacBook Pro
I have 10.6.5 running on a brand new Mac Mini and it lets me rename my Public folder so I can recognize it easily on my home network. My one year old MacBook Pro has this renaming option grayed out and I can't find how to enable it. I've looked at the sharing preferences and other places and I've searched this support forum.
Any ideas of what I might be forgetting to check, or set, or disable, or something?Thanks for the tip. I marked my question solved, but I'm not really sure why one computer lets me rename and the other doesn't. I'll bet you're right and I shouldn't be renaming that stuff. I used Time Machine to go back to before I did that.
I'm now connecting to both machines as a registered user and I can ignore the Public folders anyway.
One thing still puzzles: the MacBook connects to the Mini almost instantly, but the Mini takes maybe a minute or more to connect to the MacBook. I thought about it waking the disk from sleep, but I've tried this right after making the MacBook do something to make sure it's spinning the disk. Maybe I'll play with it some more and search for answers or post another question later. -
Apple TV has no sound when mirroring from Mac mini,sound works when mirroring from iPad and iPhone
When I mirror from Mac mini to Apple TV there's no audio from Apple TV to my av amp,it works fine from iPhone and iPad,is there something I need to do in the airplay settings?
Here's what finally solved my issue:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24436903#24436903
From this Apple Community User:
https://discussions.apple.com/people/Winston%20Churchill
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)
Apparently there is an issue if you push the Apple Remote before you set your computer to mirror. Whatever I did, it had locked it in that state. Once I stopped mirroring, then went onto the TV screen and restarted the Apple TV (#1 above) it then allowed me to choose mirroring on my Mac and the audio automatically switched from the computer to the TV (making the computer now mute), BTW the volume needs to be maxed on the computer as that will transmit to the TV if your volume is low on the computer. Then you can raise or lower it the way you want on your TV.
Yay!
Hope this helps others.....
