Installing Indesign CC Server on Mac fails

Hi,
I've multiple Adobe IDs:
Adobe-ID1 for Company 1/AEDP
Adobe-ID2 for Company 2/CC Membership
I've downloaded Indesign CC Server from AEDP (Adobe-ID1) and tried to install using the Serial number from AEDP and the Adobe-ID1.
In the options dialog of the install, I can't select the ID Server components and it has a warning icon with the title "Required components are disabled".
I tried to use the second login (Adobe-ID2) or install it as a trial version, but I get the same behaviour.
The installation failed on two Macs (10.9.5 and 10.10.2) with CC and the name of the installer file is: InDesignServer_9_LS18.dmg. Is anything missing and has to be installed upfront?
Any recommendations or tips to solve the issue?
Patrick

True, I mixed the commands as I wasn't aware that a version 10 of Indesign CC Server exists. I used the latest of AEDP.
OK, I also executed the version 9 (CC) commands and tried to install the Indesign CC Server. The installation failed with the same error!
Maybe I have for access to the latest of Indesign Server (version 10 / CC 2014)?
PS: Installation of Indesign Server (CC / version 9) with commands of version 10 (CC 2014) worked without problems.

Error Installing InDesign CS3 Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 64BIT

Hello there-
I'm trying to install InDesign CS3 Server on Windows Server 2008 R2 64BIT (x64) Edition, however, we get a failure indication on the installer. Before, we have installed it properly on Windows Server 2008 R2 32BIT (x32) but some how we cannot proceed on a x64 box.
Is there any limitation on this sense? Any documentation about it?
Thanks and appreciate your answers.

Note: There is a File Upload limitation in IIS 7 on Windows 2008 Server, IIS will reject any file that is
larger than 30 MB. This is a default limitation of IIS. You can increase the maximum file size by
setting the parameter maxAllowedContentLength in the file ApplicationHost.config.
The following command can be used to set the parameter from the command prompt, please
change the directory to Windows\System32\inetserv and then execute the command.
appcmd setconfig /section:requestFiltering/requestLimits.maxAllowedContentLength:150000000
The value is only an example, in this case the upload limit is set to 150MB.Server has to be restarted
after execution of this command.
Also, are you using Maxdb to store the files or is it a "flat files" content server ?

Installing a VPN Server in Mac OS X

Has anyone tried to install a VPN server successfully in mac os x?
I was able to get webmin installed successfully, and I know on my linux distros webmin automatically detects if a VPN server is installed (such as poptop) or at least if the option is there, but in mac os x (not the server version) there is nothing listed.
Anyone know of any other VPN servers that could be installed in mac os x, or even anything for BSD that could be compiled from source?

I run the server on PowerPC and use clients on both PowerPC and Intel. Admittedly, my wife has run off the the MBP so my use on the Intel is limited these days.
If you want to route onto the network, you'll have to create routes after the TUN/TAP interface is up. The OS X FAQs on OpenVPN detail various ways to do this.

# This config should work on Windows #
# or Linux/BSD systems. Remember on #
# Windows to quote pathnames and use #

# Comments are preceded with '#' or ';' #

# If you want to control access policies

Problem installing Indesign CC (2014) - in log - Failed in key3List generation

Trying to install InDesign CC (2014), all other apps worked no issue with Creative Cloud. Illustrator, Photoshop, Dreamweaver CC (2014) all no problems.
I keep getting there was a problem installing InDesign CC (2014) with the error Installation failed. Unable to extract to temp directory, Please contact customer support. (EX11)
There is adequate disk space, no security issues with folder, have tried disabling Norton, on admin account.
I guess maybe the next step is to uninstall Creative Cloud and run cleaner as a last possibility.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks,
Brian

I am also having the exact same issue. During installation, the CC App was unable to extract to a temporary directory. Please contact customer support (EX11). In my searches to resolve this issue someone pointed me to http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html to download CC apps manually. I was still having issues installing the program that way as well. When I extract the files to install an error in copying the files occurs. (Error: 0x80004005 Unspecified Error)
Thanks.
Edit:
I am using Windows 7
After troubleshooting the process with adobe customer support, The few key things that made the install successful for me were thus...
1: Find your windows temp folder (press windows key+r) and type %temp% and hit ok. Find your temporary install and delete it and any copies you might have.
2: Make sure you have winzip, winrar or some other file extraction program.
3: Re-download InDesign from your CC app, and if/when it fails go back to the temp folder. (Do not try to download InDesign from the CC app multiple times.)
4: Extract your install in the windows temp file if necessary, and install manually through the installer in your temp folder.
5: The file should install without problems as this point, and proceed to update indesign.
This worked for me. If this does not work for you, customer support is available with your Creative Cloud Membership.
Best of luck!

How to install OS X Server on Mac Mini w/o external display?

I have:
Brand new mac mini (Mountain lion still in start-up mode)
OId mac mini
Macbook pro
Network & firewire cable
Time Capsule
Remote desktop
I don't have
An external display
I want to setup the new mac mini as a server, and migrate my data from a time capsule back up of an older mac mini.
How can I do this without an external display? I read that you can just plug the new Mac Mini into the network and remote desktop will see it in set-up mode, but this doesn't work.
Thanks!

If you have no external keyboard (even a Windows USB one would do) then you have no way to boot the new Mac mini in Target Disk Mode.
If you have a keyboard and can boot the Mac mini in Target Disk Mode then you can do the following -
Boot the new Mac mini in Target Disk Mode by holding down the T key
Connect it via either FireWire or Thunderbolt cable to the MacBook Pro
Tell the MacBook Pro to boot from the Mac mini which will act as external hard disk drive
The MacBook Pro screen and keyboard will then be in use but you will be configuring the software on the Mac mini hard disk
You can then turn on Screen Sharing
Shutdown the Mac mini and thereafter do everything via Remote Control

Installing InDesign CS4 on new Mac computer

I just purchased a new Mac computer with the OS X 10.9 software. I'm trying redownload my InDesign CS4 from the adobe site and it's not letting me download the program? Any suggestions?

CS4 would definitely not be supported in 10.9, but it may work. The user will be on their own because it's an older, untested version.

When trying to start InDesign CS6 Server: command not found

Greetings,
I just installed InDesign CS6 Server, but when trying to run the application from terminal I get the following error: -bash: InDesignServer: command not found
I thought, maybe it had something to do with the licensing so I ran this command:
MacBook-Pro-van-Mario:~ mariovandeneynde$ cd /Applications/Utilities/Adobe\ Application\ Manager/Enterprise/utilities/APTEE/CS6
MacBook-Pro-van-Mario:CS6 mariovandeneynde$ ./adobe_prtk --tool=StartTrial --leid=InDesignServer-CS6-Mac-GM
RESULT:
Copyright 2012 Adobe Systems Incorporated
All rights reserved.
StartTrial Successful
Return Code = 0
So, I tried to launch IDS again, but always the same error.
Now, my mac isn't a MAC Server, as mentioned in the Tech Specs, but I don't think that should mind, cause the installation was successful.
So, anybody got any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Mario

Got it to work eventually.
I was calling "InDesignServer -port 12345"
But I had to call the indesignserver.command application instead. That did the trick!
Thanks!

plzz help me out to run indesign server. i need this as soon as possible.....
Thanks

As you know CORBA is all about distributed architectures. So your approach should work. We put the notes in the documentation because we did not test the configuration you are using. Though there shouldn't be any problems, we just didn't feel comfortable claiming support for this configuration without testing against it.

How can local user send message to other user via OSX server in mac maverick

I just install OS X server in mac mavericks and enable services such as message, DNS, VPN, etc. I also create local users and local network users. I add some local users from OSX server to Message app in order to message to server, but I cannot send any message to those user, even Bonjour is available but I cannot use it to send message in local network.
I already followed all Server Help in Messages like in this image:
I try to access to my local OS X server via IP address by using other PC, Mac and iPhone and I can get this interface:
I already try in iPhone to send message to local user in OS X server after accessing to OS X server via IP Address, but I don't know how local user can get that message and I see nothing in message_archives of message data of server. Therefore, how each user in OSX server can message to each other across OSX server ? Does Admin have to write some codes or make configuration for providing message services to those users ?

Client users need to use XMPP client app to log in to server with account name like in server , then user can send message to other users in server. Client users can use iphone, pc, or mac.

Installing InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks

Installation of InDesign CS3 on Mac OS 10.9.5 Mavericks
This question is Not Answered.
s c perks Oct 14, 2014 6:04 AM
1. I have InDesign CS3, which I bought about 6 years ago, and installed on my MacBook Pro. I have now got a new Mac Pro running OS 10.9.5 Mavericks. When I bought the machine I asked Apple if I would be able to install my InDesign and they said there would be no problem. But it will not install. The intsllation fails every time near the end. It installs Bridge and one other components, both of which it calls shared components. But InDesign is not installed.
I went to the Adobe web site and looked up what to do. I got to a page that had my product on and it seemed to be telling make I must download an installer. When I clicked on this link, however I got a page with the following message:
HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
I do not know what to do now.
2. If I do download an installer (I did not need to do this when I first installed the programme on my lap top MacBook Pro 6 years ago, but just installed it from the disc), how do I get rid of the downloader afterwards, since I read somewhere, but cannot remember where, that I should get rid of the installer afterwards but that I should not put it in the trash bin?
Thank you for any help you can give me.
Stephen Perks

Many thanks for your help. I will try this. After posting this question yesterday I contacted Adobe and was astonished to find that they do not sell InDesign and do not support it and that one can only upgrade to monthly or yearly rental of CreativeCloud. I'm afraid for me this is nonsense, and I consider it very bad practice on Adobe's part. I will have to go to QuarkExpress instead if I cannot install Indesign CS3, which I nearly did do 6 years ago, but after reading such good reviews of InDesign and got it. I wish now I'd got Quark! I appreciate your help.

Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini?

Hey guys and girls...
Can I install windows home server 2011 on a mac mini? If so how?

WHS is 64-bit. Genius are really not versed in Boot Camp or Windows, let alone anything not on the "approved" list of Windows versions.
Most of the problems are with burning ISO, or the SuperDrive. It should have seen the NTFS partition. Disk Utility is known to be trouble, burning it on your Mac Mine but iwth Windows 7....?
Seeing you have Windows 7, format the partition to NTFS 160GB you want and then exit and boot WHS installer.
Or run the install from Windows 7.
In past, WHS supported TimeMachine, streaming video, supported iTunes (that was broken/disabled it seems by Apple with 10.0), as well as even SuperDuper backups.
Main idea is to have some network attached drives.
Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra2 Review
Newegg - HP StorageWorks X310 Windows Home Server
I have both a ISO and Burned it to a dvd useing windows 7 built in ISO burning software, Its a 64 bit copy (got from microsoft download website from my dads microsoft account).
It is enouth for the OS but it runs slowish on the mac mini (latest core 2 duo 2.4ghz model) The Idea was to have it backup my pc and laptop to a usb drive and act as a media centre pc (connected to av receaver and tv and on a gigabit network with a 2TB nas)
Since it looks like this may not work, whats the best way to make it into a media centure? mac osx? windows 7? plex? whats best and good?
I'd avoid USB like the plague. Why not use your PC instead? If I was going to use a Mini for WHS, I'd just use the Mini solely for Windows and not have OS X (you can boot OS X off an external drive anyway).

Cannot install InDesign on my MAC book pro

New to Mac, so when I put in the cd, the Adobe folder appearson my desktop, I click on it and select install Adobe InDesign, it opens FTP Client Ultimate to install and of course says cannot install, wrong program.. So I tell it to use Automator, it says cannot install corrupt file, new disk, opened the seal myself. Can anyone shed any light on this?
this is where I miss windows..

Oracle VM server Install - Media Test on bootable CD fails

I have made 3 cd's on 2 different machines and when I run them to install the VM Server on a machine with a clean hard drive (ok irrelevant) I get an error when I try to run the Media Test. I have verified the checksums on the original ZIP files I downloaded and even downloaded a second copy of the zip to check it - I still get the error. I verified the CD as a part of the Burn process. (Note: I did do this on a different machine than I used to boot/read/install VM Server from.
Before you continue to read below - I guess my primary question is how safe was it to ignore the failure of the media test?
I created the cd with NERO 9 using Nero Burning ROM and selecting CD-ROM (ISO) when I drag the ISO file to Nero I get a message:
"You have added a single image file to an empty compilation. To burn the content of this type of image to a disc, please use the 'Burn Compilation'
function from the main menu.
Would you like to close the current compilation and burn the image instead?"
When I say yes and take the option I get a disc that has the contents of the ISO broken into many files (as I would expect to make a bootable disk). When I say no and then subsequently Burn the disc (without adding any extra files) it creates a disc with one file (the original ISO) on the disc.
It seems like it is trying to verify the the checksum of the original iso file? Or am I missing something. I got frustrated and used the disc without running the media test and it seems to run fine and the VM Server that was installed on my hard drive boots up fine as far as I can see.
Please feel free to point me to a link that explains UNIX (I have used UNIX but have not installed a UNIX system since the early 1980's) boot disk setup - I feel that there is something I am not understanding.
On a similar note I have created the Oracle VM Manager disk with the same process as above to make it a bootable disk. The documentation says that I do not have a bootable version of the Manager disc. Should I have created a disc with the ISO file intact on it instead?
OK I just did some research and now I understand that ISO type files are an archive type (like zip or tar.gz??) that can have boot records on it. Hmm. OK after all of this long dissertation I understand the ISO now but why would NERO have me build a CDROM(ISO) that did not make the ISO bootable?

I have exactly the same problem with VM Server 2.2.0. I have downloaded the zip file a couple of times, burnt the cd using different computers and different cd-burning software, I have a pile of spoilt cd by my side, but the media check always fails.
The only difference is that, if I go on with the installation despite the media check failure, the software apparently is not properly installed. When I boot, I get the message "time went backwards", surrounded by a bunch of numbers, and then it all gets stuck.
It is the second time in a year that I try and fail to get started with Oracle VM. Maybe Oracle VM is only for experts. Well, I give up. I will go back to running Oracle on VMWare or Microsoft Virtual Server, which have always worked flawlessly for me.
