Funny you should ask... At about the same time that the Xserve was discontinued, we also lost our channel rep of nearly 14 years. Right now we are not sure who our rep is. I have however, sent this to as many people in Apple that I could think of. And I plan on continuing to reach out to as many as possible.
The sad reality is that this decision is impacting customer deployments and the future of customer installations. Apple strives for market share and loves to tout those numbers. But the numbers we fought for over these last eight years are going to disappear.
As much as this impacts our business, we are making up for it in enterprise deployment of systems. We will survive and lead in our geographic area. I do not fear that. But OS X Server is a UNIX server and with it has come all of the benefits of a UNIX system, including legitimacy in a data center. The Intel Xserve cemented this reality because of its hardware configuration and form factor. Yes, we have G4 and G5s still in service. But those are mostly in all Mac shops that understand the benefits and can work around the buzz word limitations. But fortune 100/500 IT departments did not really get on board until the release of the Intel server.
Still beating the drum to raise awareness. Spread the word and talk to your Apple reps.
Also, ask about the direction that Apple's Enterprise team is going. If the news I hear is correct, then our fears about all things pro and enterprise going away are likely true.

  • My ipad is not syncing with my iPhone. I am considering restoring it to default settings but are there other options (besides calling Apple)?

    With apps, if I install an app on my iPhone that is also for iPad, it will go on my ipad, but if I delete the app on my iPhone it will not be deleted on my ipad. With photos, I have pictures on my ipad that are not on my iPhone and vice versa. With contacts, on my iPhone, everyone has their own ringtone, but on my ipad they're set to default. As I set up top, I am considering restoring it to default settings but are there other options (besides calling Apple)? I just want a second opinion.
    Thank you to all who answer.

    Currently, all opinions are set to ON in iCloud on both devices. On the iPhone, apps is set to ON, iTunes Match, Music, and Books are set to OFF. On the IPad, apps, iTunes Match, Music, and Books are set to OFF.

  • Disk Utility Not Repair Permissions on OS 10.4- Are there other options?

    How can I repair repair HD permissions when disk utility does not work? I have a powerpc g4 that I installed a second internal HD and then system would not boot up. Evidently the second drive was damaged and as a result something affected my boot on my main drive. I removed the 2nd hard drive, reset pram, nvram, and would not boot. Tried the usual reset commands and no boot up. (gets to the gray block screen instructing to restart and stops). Restarted trying to get to safe mode by holding down "shift" key but only gets to blue screen and goes no further with spinning circle looking for something. Used my os x install disk and tried disk utility and s.m.a.r.t indicated was ok and ran repair disk and passed with no problems with the file structure. Then ran disk permissions and disk utility would not run or would not complete. I left the computer on overnight to see if it would repair the permissions.  Then I went ahead and reinstalled os x 4 again on the HD drive using the save last boot option and restarted and the computer booted up. The desktop came up looking like the old one but most items would not work properly and very slow or would close automaticly.  Looked in system information and found spaces between items. I closed the computer down by restart again to see if it would correct the problem but went back to gray screen instructing a reboot. Reboots brought me back to the same gray screen. Is this drive now not usable, can be zeroed out and resued, or just replaced? Where do I go from here....thanks

    I installed a second internal HD and then system would not boot up. Evidently the second drive was damaged
    What makes you think this? It's not very often that a new hard drive is defective out of the box. More likely is that it was connected improperly. Don't jump to conclusions without evidence.
    Then I went ahead and reinstalled os x 4 again on the HD drive using the save last boot option
    What? No such thing. Do you mean Archive & Install?
    Is this drive now not usable, can be zeroed out and resued, or just replaced?
    If Disk Utility says the drive is good, then we have to assume that's true. It appears that you've somehow corrupted your entire OS X installation, so whether or not you have a backup from before this happened, your best option now is to completely erase that hard drive and reinstall OS X from scratch, along with all the Software Updates to bring it to 10.4.11, as well as your third-party applications.
    Then, if that doesn't work, that may be an indication of a drive problem, or even a system hardware problem.
    To prevent this kind of thing from happening again, you need to invest in at least one external backup drive to use for a bootable backup of your entire hard disk, and keep it updated every day before you shut down your Mac. You can use SuperDuper ($27.95) or Carbon Copy Cloner (donationware) for those.

  • HT203296 My Mid-2009 Macbook doesn't support Intel VT-X. It should... the CPU supports it and Apple says it does.

    Did you read carefully?
    Note the words 'up to' not 'will' last 9 hours.  Apple makes these measurements based on very minimal resource intensive applications.  My experience that battery run time is much less than these unrealistic advertising claims.  Battery run time will be a function of the number and types of applications that are in use.
    Try a SMC reset:

    I bought a Elements 12 Software bundle 3 weeks ago.But I only redeemed,'Premier Elements' with the code it gave and had a separate code for Elements 12 , wich I wrote down but did not use at that time. Now I have made space on the PC, I want to download the Elements 12 part of my bundle but its proving impossible. How do I redeem the other part of the product I paid for? The serial number retrieval code, from the card I bought comes up as Invalid now.

    Serial number and activation chat support (non-CC) may help

    Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum.  Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is.  Apple is not here.  It's users, like you. 
    If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off.

  • HT1414 my ipod has a solid color on the screen and will not respond at all what do I do?

    I was playing a game and the it just went to this screen that is kinda red and will not respond at all. I have tried to connect it to itunes to restore it but it never shows up. Is there another way to reset it? Right now I am just waiting for the battery to die.

    Try here:

    If not successful then do as you are doing, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.

    Delete some apps, files, photos, videos, movies, etc to free up some space.
    How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • HT1339 Error: This game cannot be launched. Ipod will not respond

    I have an error message on my iPod classic.  It states, Error:  This game cannot be launched.  And now my iPod wheel will not respond.  I am unable to shut it down or connect it to my iTunes.

    Try a hard reset.  This procedure does not erase any content stored on the device. It is similar to rebooting your PC.  To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • TS3274 Screen frozen on an email page; will not respond to touch gestures?

    My screen is frozen on a email page; will not respond to hand or finger gestures?

    Close the mail app and reset your iPad.
    Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
