Is Onyx Compatible with Snow Leopard Server?

Any of you guys use Onyx on your SLS installs? Is it compatible?

Hi
I'll bite as well.
I doubt very much if you'll find one - if any - veteran, experienced Server Administrator who'll use anything like Onyx when using/deploying OSX Server? Maybe some of the newer guys will or possibly already do? If they are they'll soon post. Then again you might be the first?
Like Camelot I've never used anything 3rd-Party and I don't plan to. I'll go as far as DiskWarrior and Data Rescue (if needed and/or required) and that's about it. If you plan your deployment correctly there should be no need for Onyx or anything else that's similar IMO.
I have a feeling using something like Onyx may cause more harm than good? Unless the developer explicitly states Leopard Server support I would give it a wide berth.
Why don't you give it a try and let us all know?
Tony

  • Is iMovie '06 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I've read too many posts indicating difficulties with an upgrade to Snow Leopard but probably just as many from people who have had success. I'm always slow to update operating systems however it seems like more and more applications require Leopard (or SL) to run. I'm still on Tiger, love it, but am forced to upgrade in order to run current apps. My biggest concern is for iMovie 6.03 which I will never give up for the lame versions of imovie that succeeded it. So my question is, is iMovie 6.03HD compatible with Snow Leopard or would I be better served just to go to Leopard in order to run these newer apps?

    I see you have not yet marked your topic "Answered", so perhaps you are hoping for other input.

    It works fine on both my Snow Leopard (SL) Macs.

    As concerned as you are, and as important as iMovie6 seems to be to you, unless you must use some of the new apps or OS features that require upgrading, you might be better served by continuing to use your existing and proven reliable Tiger OS.
    Your next Mac will come with the OS that maximizes its performance. Until then, you save at least $169(US), and keeping the Tiger OS that you KNOW works eliminates all of you worries.

    I still use iMove HD from iLife 06. I'm running Snow Leopard 10.6.2 and it runs great for me. I use iPhoto, iDVD, & iMovie all from the iLife 06 Suite.
    I do so because it just works. I constantly use the Timeline format, and within that form I easily trim, add sound effect, adjust volume, and other sound and audio modifications.
    I will keep using it for as long as it's compatible.
    I may get the next upcoming iLife suite because I want to better organize photos in iPhoto.

  • Moving accounts from Snow Leopard Macs to Mac mini with Snow Leopard Server

    I got my brand spanking new Mac mini today with Snow Leopard Server! So far, we (at home) were managing our accounts on individual iMacs and a MacBook Pro. While I will be getting into the innards of account migration, management etc. I thought I'd post a quick question here; Currently I have an iMac with three user accounts on it (wife and two kids). I also have my own personal MacBook Pro with my account (the only Admin account) on it. We'll soon be getting another iMac for our daughter (who currently has an account on the existing iMac). My idea in getting the Mac mini was to move to and centrally manage all the user accounts in the household on the Mac mini server. What is the best way to accomplish this? What is the best way to move the existing accounts on to the server?
    Additionally, I'll be looking into connecting the two stationary iMacs with Powerline Ethernet (where one runs Ethernet over existing electrical wires in the walls). My other option would be to rely on wireless network (I don't think this would be a good idea for if I am going to be placing the user accounts on the server and there needs to be a constant on, reliable connection between the server and the client computers as they will be talking to each other a lot!). Any thoughts on Powerline? (I am not looking forward to installing Ethernet cabling behind walls :o))
    What say the wise men of Mactopia?!
    Thanks,
    Kenneth.
    P.S. I had earlier accidentally posted this in the corresponding section of Mac OS X instead of the Mac OS X Server forum.

    Ok so the esiest way to explain this is to tell you what i just went through.
    I have 3 user accounts. All the accounts are network Users meaning that there home folder are kept on the server. I was having a problem with Time Machine giving me error 41 and error 11. After scratching my head for 2 days I ended up copying (Drag-n-Drop) the Home Folders to an External Hard Drive. I then proceeded to erase both of the internal hard drives on the mac mini and did a fresh local install of the Server OS.
    Everything was fine at that point. Now this is where Snow Leopard stopped being nice.
    I went and Created the user account again using WGM. I let WGW create the home folder and the 9 folder inside. I made sure the short names were the same and the passwords were the same as they were previously.
    However, once i Copied files from the external drive to the home folders the permissions copied as well, Which i guess should be expected. So now at this point apparently the UID's of the newly created users wasn't the same as they were before the clean install. I have multiple instances of root listed in the ACL for several folders and also had several instances of System listed sporadically.
    Now, This isn't to say that you can't drag n drop because now That I have it all squared away and everything is now working ok, I would probably still drag n drop the home folder off to an external disk, but only because I now know what to do to clean things up.
    if you drag and drop be sure to use the CHOWN command and theCHMOD commands afterwards. Take a look at this MacFixIt article: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20013630-263.html?tag=mncol;title
    If you copy your local imac users to the home directory on the server you may want to follow the steps on the URL I gave plus you will most likely also have to do the following. In a nutshell you are going to use the chmod command to strip all the ACL Permissions then you are going to use the chown command to re-specify the correct owner and the correct permissions for the network user.
    !) Go into ServerAdmin and click on Sharing
    2) Go to the users folder you are using and select the user you are going to work with.
    3) Click on the Permissions option
    4) click on the +sign at the bottom (this will open the users & groups list to the right)
    5) Drag the current user from the users list to the owner permissions line under posix section
    5a) Click Save
    6) Click on the Gear button at the bottom
    7) Check the box for Owner Name and Owner Permissions.
    8) Uncheck the box for Access Control List then click ok
    Once you've gone through that rigmarole you can go back into ServerAdmin and fix the permissions for public and Sites folder which should only take a minute or so.
    So the moral of this story and as I found out when i ended up calling Enterprise support is that the act of dragging and dropping user home directories from one server to another, or as in your case, from a local machine to a the server isn't anything that apple recommends or supports. you might want to read through the man pages for "Ditto" or so apple tells me, but honestly now that you know, the steps above aren't all that bad. It's true Knowing IS half the battle!
    have Fun!
    P.S. FWIW If you run into problems and have to call Enterprise Support be prepared for them to tell you to refer to the user Guides. So reading those would be to your advantage even though they aren't the easiest things to understand unlike apple's consumer products user guides

  • Are there any problems with Snow Leopard Server (Xserve) and PPC Clients

    Hi,
    are there any problems identified yet with Snow Leopard Server, installed on a Xserve and PPC Clients running Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard?
    Currently I have a Xserve Intel running Leopard Server and about 12 Mac Minis PPC running Mac OS X Tiger and Mac OS X Leopard. The Xserve serves services like DNS, OpenDirectory, Software Update Server, NetBoot, etc. All users have Home Directories stored on the Xserve.
    Now I want to install Snow Leoaprd Server on the Xserve, but I wonder if there are any problems using the PPC Clients? I have read something like this on a german website.
    Thanks!

    We've actually found that the Server 10.6.3 DVD does an amazingly smooth job of upgrading 10.5.8. We've been upgrading our production servers and nothing has gone wrong yet. Snow Leopard employs an archive and install method of upgrading which results in an install which is very close to a clean install. So it's been very convenient for us because our servers are used as Windows PDCs and it's a pain in the *** to have to re-join all PCs to the domain if we start from scratch.

  • FC Studio 2 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    H there,
    I am in the process of buying a new computer, upgrading from a G4. I use Final Cot Studio 2 (with FCP6) and wonder, if this is compatible with snow leopard. I tired to find an answer on this, but a lot of people seemed to have problems when they install snow leopard. In my case, it would be installing Final Cut from the CD's and them upgrading to the latest version. Ideally, I would like to wait and not buy FCP7 yet. Can anyone advice me on the compatibility?
    Many thanks,
    Anita

    From what I've read, it is important to install FCP 6 and all updates from the original install discs over a clean install of SL.
    Problems seem to arise with upgrade installs.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is adobe photoshop lightroom 2.0 compatible with snow leopard (10.6) ?

    adobe photoshop lightroom 2.0 compatible with snow leopard (10.6) ?

    The official line is yes. However, some users have experienced some problems. Whether these are due to incompatibility or problems resulting from the upgrade process is not yet clear.
    The only acknowledge issue relates to Edit in Photoshop command not transferring images for Photomerge or as Smart Objects.
    Note: Except for above, I'm running Lr 2.4 on a MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard without issue.

  • I'm having trouble with Snow Leopard server disconnecting.

    I'm having trouble with Snow Leopard server disconnecting. Recently upgraded my laptops to latest MacBook Pro OSX Lion, but everything has been fine since December until now. I did just add a 2TB Drive to the set-up (OWC Mercury Elite AL-Pro) in a Daisy chain of 2 other 2TB drives and a 3TB Drive that had been working perfectly up until now. I was able to use it yesterday, but now it has gone haywire and I lose connections while working on files or saving files. Have to restart server and it works for a while, but then drops off. Could Server be corrupt?

  • Does anyone know if Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 is compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Does anyone know if Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 is compatible with Snow Leopard?

    Yes it is, all versions from CS2 up will work.

  • Adobe CS compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6?

    I have an IMac running OS 10.4.11 and would like to finally upgrade to Snow Leopard. Is Adobe CS (the original as in illustrator version 11) compatible with Snow Leopard? I want to make sure my entire creative suite will work before I upgrade. I can't afford to update my adobe suite too.

    I was using CS2 when I upgraded to Snow Leopoard, and while it worked, it didn’t work great. It was unstable (InDesign crashed repeatedly), and anytime I tried to do anything in Photoshop that changed all the pixels in a large image (i.e. gaussian blur, despeckle, etc.), it took forever. If you don’t plan on upgrading to CS5 anytime soon, you might want to keep a separate partition with Tiger, just to run Adobe CS1/2/whatever.

  • Control CS4 Licenses with Snow Leopard server

    Hi there i have a team of designers and i have to control the applications that the access and im wondering if theres a way to control the lisenses with snow leopard server application restrictions.

    You can allow or deny launching an application, to individual users, groups, computers or computer groups.
    You can't allow x number of copies of Photoshop or any application to run concurrently until a license limit is reached.
    You would need something like Sassafras Keyserver for that.

  • Is DVD Studio Pro 4 compatible with Snow Leopard 10.6.8?

    Is DVD Studio Pro 4 compatible with Snow Leopard? Project burns fine, simulates fine, works on my two macs (mac pro & macbook pro networked) but when I put the dvd in to a dvd played hooked to a tv it doesn't recoginize it and says "this disc connot be played"!

    It's your set top DVD player that won't play the disk...  That or it's the type of disk that you're using.
    Make sure it's a DVD-R.  That's a MINUS. 
    They pretty much work in all set top DVD players. 
    The reason your computers play the dvd's is simply because your computer knows what to do with all types of media.  Something else to consider could be the optical read capability on your computer is better than that of your DVD player.  Perhaps the DVD is a poor quality disk.  You computer can read it because it has a higher quality optical pickup unit.
    First things first, take your DVD to a place that sells DVD players and try it in a new player.  That'll tell you whether or not the disk actually works.

  • Is Microsoft Office 2004 compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I am just about to buy a new MacBook Pro and would like to transfer the Microsoft Office 2004 programme & all my Word/powerPoint/Excel files from my old MacBook (OS 10.4.11). One local vendor tells me MS2004 is not compatible with Snow Leopard and I have to spend c$250 to buy the Office 2008 version. Another says they are compatible and I can easily transfer. It is important to me as I need to use the Office for my work.
    1.Which is correct?
    2. And are there an significant advantages to the new 2008 Office version which would encourage me to upgrade and spend $250?

    Hi a:
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    I have been running Microsoft Office 2004 for quite awhile. On my system, it runs just fine. I use both Word and Excel and it does read PowerPoint presentations.
    I have read the posts on the Apple Store part of this site and have shied away from Office 2008 because of some negative feedback. Functionally, I could not see any difference from the written material. Since Office 2004 was working just fine, I did not buy the 2008 product.

  • Where can I get a version of Aperture compatible with Snow Leopard?

    I have Snow Leopard (10.6) on my iMAC and I did not upgrade to Lion as it is good enough for what I do with my iMAC.
    Unfortunately, the Aperture version available in the App Store recommends MAC OS 1.7 or later.
    Is there a previous version of Aperture, which is compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6), still available?
    If so, where can I get it?
    Thank you in advance to the Apple community.
    Philippe

    As keith alluded to if you stay with SL and get a version of Aperture that runs on it you will be locked into that. There will be no more updates for Aperture or the Raw Camera bundle.
    So if that version of Aperture supports your camera and you have no plans to change cameras to something that is not supported in that version then you will be fine.
    If you think you might be getting a new camera at some point then you might just want to bit the bullet and do the upgrades now.
