If i purchase os x server for mountain lion would i have to purchase it for mavericks again?

Want to study it now on my mbp and then use it with mavericks on mac mini in several weeks.

We don't know what Apple plans here for pricing nor for upgrade offers for Mavericks, if any.
AFAIK, no previous OS X Server upgrades have had upgrades; it's been a re-purchase.
Please check back after Mavericks is announced.
FWIW, OS X Server doesn't work all that well on a MacBook Pro or other portable computers, as OS X Server and most other server operating systems really prefer to have static IP and not DHCP-assigned dynamic addresses, and laptops tend to migrate from network to network and use DHCP. Haven't looked recently, but older versions of OS X Server expressly didn't support portable Macs, and for this reason.

Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

Is there going to be a firmware upgrade for mountain lion customers that have a Macbook with a soild state drive so we can use the Power Nap feature?

here: http://www.apple.com/osx/whats-new/
"Power Nap requires a Mac notebook with built-in flash storage. May require a firmware update."
We have to wait for the Firmware-Updates. Some are already here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5394
And I am shure, that you will need for Power Nap one of the newer Macs with SSD from 2011 and 2012.

I am using lion and wonder if I upgrade to mountain lion, will I have to purchase iWorks

Please, someone address this issue. I wonder if I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion, will my applications work such as iWorks '09.
I just purchased an iPad 2 and I understand that if I upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion that I will be able to integrete the two better.
Thanks so much for any input. I have spent hours trying to find out this information on FAQs, support questions etc. on Apple.ca and
frankly, I am getting very frustrated.
PS - I just purchased the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion not even a year ago and here I am again. Don't know what to do.

Purchasing iphoto v9.4.3 for mountain lion

Hi-
I have given up trying to upgrade my iphoto 9.3 to 9.4.3 for mountain lion. I have tried (a) Apple-Software Updates... and (b) going directly to http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1650. Neither works, The first one doesnt list the update as an option and the second approach directs me to the app store for my update after i click on the downloaded 9.4.3pkg file. In the app store there are no compatible updates. Frustrating!
So, how can i do a fresh install of iPhoto 9.4.3? I am happy to pay for it again, but where do i find it for purchase?
Thanks.

It is no longer available. The udate you downloaded is most likely an update to the former DVD based app and as you found out, diesn't update the Mac App Store (MAS) version because they aren't exactly the same app. You will not be able to update your older version.
If your Mac can run Mt Lion, then it can run Mavericks. Why not upgrade your OS and then you can upgrade to the Mavericks versions available in the MAS.

I am running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with bootcamp 3.3 on my Imac 2011. I need to updgrade to mountain lion. If I first upgrade to mountain lion, how do I go about upgrading from bootcamp 3.3 to latest bootcamp for mountain lion?

I have seen a lot of discussions upgrading from Boot Camp 4 to 5 but no answers upgrading from boot camp 3.3 to 5. My worry is that if I upgrade from snow leopard to mountain lion, that my bootcamp partition will no longer be able to boot up. There seem to be a lot of threads suggesting problems that are possible. Has anyone gone through this upgrade with success?

Before doing any installation restart OSX from your 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD and use Disk Utility to Both Repair The Disk and Repair the Permissions of your Macintosh HD.
Next remove your Snow Leopard DVD and restart your iMac into OSX.
Update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard by clicking the Apple icon and choose Software Update to install Snow Leopard v10.6.8, the latest version.
Use Time Machine to make a Full Backup of your Macintosh HD.
Shut down and restart into Windows by holding the Option key at the chime and selecting Windows.
Now use Windows Backup to make a Full Image Backup of your Windows Installation to a removable drive.
Shut Down and Boot back into OSX.
Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it.
Upgrading your OSX to 10.8 should not effect the Windows Partition at all since you are only upgrading the Mac side. You should not have to run the Boot Camp Assitant 5 Utility in OSX at all.
Your Boot Camp 3.3 Windows Support Drivers et. al only effect your Windows installation and should continue to run fine after upgrading.
Which version of Windows do you already have installed on the existing Boot Camp Partition?
Is it 32 bit or 64 bit?

Open the Mac App Store on the other Mac and in the Quick Links sign into your account. See if the Mountain Lion purchase is among hidden apps in the iCloud area of your account info.

Firewall gui for Mountain Lion Server

Is there an easy firewall for Mountain Lion server? Im amazed Apple took this feature away. For what reason? I dont know command line very well and shouldnt have to learn it seeing as how Macs are supposed to be "user friendly". Doing a port scan I see about 20 ports open that I want to close but just dont know how as they're not application specifc (like pop3...). Any suggestions would be helpful.
thanks.

I totally agree with you, the whole point of OS X was to be easy to use i.e. GUI based, if we wanted a pure CLI system we would get Linux
There are actually two different Firewalls on Mountain Lion Server, the 'standard' one you see in System Preferences which is an Application level firewall (ALF), and has extremely limited options but does have a GUI, and the CLI only one which is pfctl (Packet Filtering).
Note: ipfw is depreciated in Mountain Lion.
There is a third-party tool for configuring pfctl called IceFloor. Be careful though, I managed to screw up a system with it, as always make sure you have a backup before making changes.
See http://www.hanynet.com/icefloor/

How can I obtain the Pages app which I previously purchased from the App store for Snow Leopard? The only download now available is for Mountain Lion which my computer can't run. Thanks

Try Amazon but look for the iWork suite of software. It's only sold separately as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the App Store.

AirPlay fix for Mountain Lion

Allright Apple, you completely misrepresented your product by failing to inform your loyal customers that the best feature offered in Mountain Lion would only be compatible in less than 1/1000 Intel based Macs you have made.
So to it make it up to us please deposit a credit for $9.99 into the iTunes accounts of every person who bought this misrepresented OS so we can purchase AirParrot.
It's the right thing to do, cant help but think this never would've happened under Job's watch.

You must be reading through all the EULA software agreements line by line when you install something then? I watched this video by Apple on Mountain Lion and I made the decision to make the purchase: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5BRsh8Dwgg
I wrote an official email to Apple that this was not clearly pointed out in their advertisements, and that my email serves as a notice that I request a full refund within 30 days.
This is what I got in response:
"After reviewing the circumstances of your case, we determined that issuing you a refund for your unintentional purchase of "OS X Mountain Lion" is an appropriate exception to the App Store Terms and Conditions, which state that all sales are final. In five to seven business days, a credit of $19.99 should be posted to the credit card that appears on the receipt for that purchase."
Cheers.

Is it possible to upgrade to lion or do I have to wait for mountain lion?

Is it possible to still upgrade to Lion or do I have to wait for Mountain Lion later in July? I currently have Snow Leopard and upgraded RAM to 4GB on an older iMac Core Duo in order to use iCloud features in Lion. Also, I'm wanting to upgrade iMovie and iPhoto, but I'm having difficulty finding a download link that will let me do it online without going through the App Store, and it says I need to be running 10.7. I feel like I'm in an "obsolete" double bind until I upgrade to Mountain Lion and it isn't possible yet. I'm wanting to use iMovie 8 or higher in order to download AVCHD video. I just bought a new camera that shoots AVCHD and I can't download any HD video, nor can I find any of my old video which used to be on iPhoto and would open w/ Quick Time. User friendly Mac is no longer so intuitive.

Yes, you can purchase Lion as well as iPhoto and iMovie from the App Store. But before you can do that you must update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 by installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 update. Then you can sign into the App Store with your Apple ID and password, locate the items you want, purchase them, and download them to your computer.

HT4414 When I try to purchase Mountain Lion i get an error message: "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion?

I can purchase other apps, why not Mountain Lion. I get the same message on my wife's IMAC.

The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Hope it helps.

Complications migrating from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server.

I'm migrating from Snow Leopard Server to Mountain Lion Server. The article "OS X Server: Upgrade and migration" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5381) says
"Make sure that any DNS or DHCP servers on which your server depends remain running during the upgrade"
This advice is reinforced by the details of the article "OS X Server: Steps to take before upgrading or migrating the Open Directory database" (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5300).
As the server I'm migrating from provides these services it will need to be running during the migration process. This would seem to limit my options to doing the migration from a Time Machine backup (or, making a seperate clone of the server's drive and connecting it externally to the new box)
My main concern is the seemingly inevitable clash that is going to occur on the network as the new server takes on the roles of the old one - while it is still running.
What are my options here ?
This is my second attempt as on my first try I did the migration from the TM backup with the network down - and none of my local network users or their home directories were migrated, although the settings for the mount points were, but there were no actual directories where they pointed to!
Clear directions on how to procede would be VERY MUCH appreciated
Thank you.

Moving from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion means first installing the client (non-Server) version of Mountain Lion and then install Server.app this means that for at least part of the process you will not be running DNS, DHCP or Open Directory.
If you are going to end up using the same DNS name and IP address after the change then an approach you could follow would be as follows.
Destroy any Open Directory replicas
Archive your Open Directory Master (to make a backup)
Note down your DNS records in case they get messed up
Export via Workgroup Manager your users, and groups (you might not need this but better safe than sorry), make sure you do not include the diradmin account
Keep a full back of the server (you should always have backups)
Note down your DHCP server settings in case they get messed up
Note down any other service settings
Install Mountain Lion
Install Server.app
Install Workgroup Manager (extra free download)
Run Server.app
Make sure settings for services are as much as possible the same as before
If your lucky that may be all you need to do, otherwise...
Restore Open Directory archive, if your lucky that will be all you need to do, otherwise...
Make new Open Directory Master
Run Workgroup Manager
Import users and groups you previously exported
You will then have to set passwords for each user as these are not preserved via Workgroup Manager export
When I did this, I was also being forced to change all my IP addresses so I had no choice but to use Workgroup Manager to export and import accounts.

Now what to do help me please

iCloud isn't syncing them on your phone. You simply added the email account to your phone and enabled calendar and notes syncing with the email provider, and the calendar and notes appear in the calendar and notes apps on your phone. You can do this with Gmail, Yahoo and other IMAP account. iCloud email is just another IMAP account, but syncs notes with Apple's iCloud server just as Gmail syncs notes and calendars with Google's server.
iCloud didnt' set up a non-iCloud account on your Mac. When you check Mail in System Preferences>iCloud, it only creates an iCloud email account. You can also add other email accounts to your Mac by going to System Preferences>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and clicking on the "+" sign on the bottom of the left sidebar. If you added these other email accounts to your Mac before you upgraded to Mountain Lion, these were simply maintained on your Mac after you upgraded.

I have paid for mountain lion and it says it is dowloading ....but nothing seems to be happening? it is a macbook 6,1 (4 years old?) and is currently running OS X 10.6.8

It's a 4+ GB file. It takes some time if you have a slow Internet connection. You may have lost connection with the server. Try pausing the download for a few second then restarting.

If i purchase os x server for mountain lion would i have to purchase it for mavericks again?
