Mac Mini server OS 10.9.5 won't connect to Bose Bluetooth Audio Adapter

although my iPhone 5C running iOS 8.1 sees the Bose device just fine.
Any thoughts?  The suggestions from the Bose site are not helpful, as they assume their device will of course be seen by the Mac Mini Server.
Thanks.

Unfortunately, resetting the PRAM, and the SMC, did not solve the problem.  Even though Bluetooth on the Mac Mini seems to be functional, I'm concerned that it only wants to allow connection to a keyboard or a mouse, or to transfer files to, say, an iPhone.  No Sound actions are available in terms of Bluetooth connectivity.
Question:  about 10 months ago, I noted the fan high at high speeds all of a sudden, and little I could do would correct it.  So, I downloaded smcFanControl 2.5.2, and use this to keep the fan at a slightly higher level than would otherwise happen, in order to maintain the CPU temperature below roughly 50 degC.  Would running this app interfere with reset of the SMC?  Or, with full operation of Bluetooth?
Alternatively:  would upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite provide any benefit?

  • Can't Connect to Mac Mini Server 10.8

    I want to use Screen Sharing to run a headless Mac Mini Server (late 2012) running Server.app under Mountain Lion.
    From my Mac Mini I can connect to my iMac on the same LAN and use Screen Sharing, but I can't do the opposite, which is what I need to do. This is very frustrating because the support for this key feature is just plain awful.
    Yes, screen sharing is checked under File Sharing preferences on the Mac Mini Server. And yes, both the display and the computer are set to never sleep on the Mac Mini Server.
    What must I do to connect to my Mac Mini Server from my iMac so I can run the Mac Mini Server headless?
    Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.

    "Screen Sharing is currently being controlled by the Remote Management Service"
    I've been fidgeting between the Server.app server Settings tab and the Screen Sharing checkbox in System Preferences Sharing pane all day.
    I had tried "Share Screen" via Finder. After I tried "Share Screen" via Server.app from my client computer I noticed the above warning message when Screen Sharing in the server's System Preference Sharing pane was highlighted. I'm not sure which is cause or effect.
    Everything is checked on the server "Settings" tab in Server.app on the server. Only "FIle Sharing," "Remote Login" and "Remote Management" are checked on the Sharing pane in System Preferences on the server.
    Everything is checked on the server "Settings" tab in Server.app on the client. In this case, "Allow remote administration using Server" is checked and grayed out. "Screen Sharing" is checked on the Sharing pane in System Preferences on the client. (It may not have anything to do with a successful screen share connection, but it is on.)
    Everything is now working better than expected. Thanks to you both for your help!

  • Can't connect to Mac Mini Server

    I am setting up a new Mac Mini Server for the first time and cannot connect to it from the local network. The Mini is connected to the local network and the internet via an Airport Extreme Base Station. The server appears in the Finder of my MacBook Pro under "Shared" but will not connect. I was able to connect prior to turning on some services in Server Admin (including enabling the Firewall). I allowed the server to control the Base Station upon initial setup but was not sure if it configures and turns on it's firewall services automatically. Should I have Firewall enabled in Server Admin?

    Blankfer,
    Did you re-enable Firewall in Server Admin and then open the screen sharing ports?
    I'm still confused as to whether the Firewall in Sever Admin is only supposed to be used when the sever is acting as an internet gateway. I was under the impression that the Mini was controlling my Airport Extreme's firewall services for me in the background. After my initial configuration through Setup Assistant (including selecting the option to have the server control my Airport) the Firewall in Server Admin was not enabled. Does Firewall being disabled in Sever Admin mean I have no firewall up at all? ...I plan to have it running web and mail services so I need to make sure it's secure.
    -Thanks

  • Mac Mini Server on Yosemite showing x2 Servers with one being redundant

    Hi
    I have a Mac Mini OS X Server that worked fine with setup/name of 'server' on Mavericks, however since upgrading to Yosemite the server has now become Server (2) (or server-2) leaving a redundant 'server' (server) in the shared tab.I can't access 'server' on the Mac Mini server or via the Network (even with connect as) and cannot rename \server-2' to server. I have re-installed the OS with no change.
    Does anyone have any ideas what is going on here please and also how I could reset the 'serve-2r' to show correctly as 'server' and remove the erroneous one?
    Thanks
    Glennyboy

    The real answer to this depends on two things:
    1) whether you're just trying to do this within your lab, or you want external systems to be able to get to your services (e.g. students be able to access these resources from outside the school network)
    2) whether each device in your schools' network have real-world IP addresses, or whether the network uses NAT.
    If the answer to 1 is that this is only within the lab then there isn't likely to be any issue - get an IP address for your server from the network admins (which is why #2 is relevant) and you're set. The network guys would only have other involvement if you wanted to get external access working, in which case you've got to talk to them about opening holes in firewalls, etc.
    If this is purely internal (or, at least, doesn't need access from outside the school network) then there isn't likely to be any problem. You could even get away without DNS, although it would be nice if you could get a sensible hostname from the DNS administrators (e.g. server.yourlab.yourschool.edu) but even without that there shouldn't be anything preventing you from running a service and having internal clients connect to it (other than policy issues, of course…). For the most part the admins wouldn't even know you're running a server.
    Getting a static, non-conflicting IP address that valid for the school's network is going to be key, though.

  • FileMaker Server problem on Mac Mini Server - Mac Mini won't boot

    I just installed a brand new Mac Mini Server today, and also FileMaker Server 11. A first-timer for both Mac OS X Server and FileMaker Server, I made an error as explained below, and right now I don't know how to get back on track with the system. It won't boot.
    So, how did this happen?
    At first everything was proceeding according to plan. I configured the pre-installed Mac OS X Server on the Mac Mini with users, groups and services. This was tested from clients and this seemed to work just fine. Then I installed and configured FileMaker Server. This was also tested from a client, and the example database that came with FMS was served up just fine.
    The problem arose when I tried to install my existing FileMaker databases. I simply checked to see where in the file system the example database was located, and then copied my old databases to that location (I think it was Library > FileMaker Server > Data > Databases or something close to it - can't check it now...). I had the FileMaker Server Admin Console running, and hit the Refresh button hoping that this would make FileMaker Server find the databases.
    This was my first error. I should have read ahead in the instructions to see that one is supposed to use an Upload Database assistant instead...
    What happened when I hit refresh was that the FileMaker Server Admin Console became completely unresponsive with a spinning ball as cursor. I left it for about an hour hoping it would terminate, but gave up and tried to shut it down. It wouldn't close, so I force quit it from the Finder. Then I tried to shut down FileMaker Server, but I needed to force quit this as well. After this I thought it would be best to reboot the Mac Mini, so I shut it down, but now it won't even boot, it just stays on the screen with the spinning wheel for ever!
    I have tried all the keyboard options while booting, but nothing seems to help. In safe mode, the grey progress bar just grows to about one third, then disappears and leaves the eternally spinning wheel.
    The server version of the Mac Mini doesn't have an optical drive, only two internal hard drives. I tried to reinstall from scratch using the optical drive on another Mac on the network. The startup disk appeared when I tried to boot the Mac Mini holding down the option key, and after about 20 minutes or so of the spinning wheel I could actually access the discs. I started by running Disk Utility to check disk permissions. There were a lot of repairs concerning permissions and groups, especially on "Library". It said "ACL differs on Library", I don't know what this is but this was repaired. I then ran Repair Disk. The volume appeared to be OK.
    When I tried to reinstall Mac OS X Server however, this failed with the message
    "You can't upgrade this version of Mac OS X because a newer version is installed. Mac OS X Server couldn't be installed on this disk." I don't know how this can be, but I may have run software update earlier today.
    What should I try next? Should I erase the primary HD and try to install again? Or should I install the system software on the secondary HD? Or should I just try to reboot as is in the hope that the disk permission repairs did the trick...?
    Any helpful pointers would be greatly appreciated!

    Hello there, I came across your post when browsing the forum for passive advice. I am in the same boat as you and am a first timer for both of these tools. I work for a company who now needs to expand its network and database capabilities. I have been assigned this task and these are the tools i have opted for. I have not yet purchased them and i am pleased to find someone who has my desired setup. Could you please advise on the simplicity of the setup and whether an advanced knowledge is required.
    I want to use it in a mixed operating system environment. Is this possible?
    Regards

  • Mac Mini Server won't go to sleep!

    Like a naughty child, my Mac Mini server (i7 2Ghz, OS X 10.7.3) won't go to sleep. I use it as a personal computer, not a server, and I like to put it to sleep at night. But about 20 seconds after going to sleep, it wakes up again.
    I've shut off all the server functions I can think of, and it's still waking up. Is there any way to determine WHAT is waking it up when I put it to sleep?
    Thanks.
    David

    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message Req Wake
    Post any lines of output that appear below what you entered — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: The name of your computer will appear in the output. If that information is private (for example, if the computer name contains your own name), edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.

  • Mac mini server won't load after creating RAID0

    After creating a RAID0 stripe set and tried to re-install Lion server back on my new Mac mini server, it failed at the end of the installation asking me to try to run the installation again, I tried three times with the same result.  So I tried to boot from a USB Lion image but it won't recognize it, I even tried to boot from a USB Snow Leopard image and it won't recognize it either.  What else can I try to bring my Mac mini server back.

    Have a look at this thread guys, it should help sort out your problems.

    Anyone got any ideas how I fix this? My current plan is to try and re-install server.app, but I thought I'd post this to see if anyone had any ideas.

    I'm still trying to trace this fault - if anyone has any ideas they'd be much appreciated.

  • Mac mini server (mid 2010)  10.7.2 and 10.7.3 won't  install

    My Mac Mini Server running Lion 10.7.1 will not accept the update to 10.7.2 or 10.7.3. I know that there have been some MacBook Pro's that wont accept the install. I have run disk utility and repaired disk permissions and verified the disk. I cant boot off a disk as Lion is a direct download from the App store. I have read that 10.7.2 was very buggy and some people were restorong back to 10.7.1. Can I update to 10.7.3 from 10.7.1. I have also tried the stand alone installers. The same problem the .dmg downloads and opens I run the install package which validates and runs. When I am prompted to restart a message comes up same unexpected error ocurred unable to install and a restart option. Its driving me nuts.

    Did this Mini come with 10.6.x?
    If so, Boot off your *original* Install Disk while holding down the *d key*, (not c key), then run the extended Apple Hardware Test. Some disks require you to use the Option key at bootup to select AHT.

  • Mac Mini server won't boot after logoff, any suggestions?

  • Mavericks won't install on Mac Mini Server

    I am trying to install Mavericks on a headless Mac Mini Server. After I enter my admin password, the install stops with the error:
    An error occured while preparing the installation. Try running this application again.
    I have verified the disk - no issues
    I repaired disk permission
    I rebooted the server
    No luck

    Found a fix. I installed the 10.8.5 combo update then tried again. It is working now.

  • 2010 mac mini server won't sleep

    Hi ,
    I have seen some people report that there mac mini server running Snow Leopard will not sleep .
    I have had this issue for a while and have now installed an App called ' PleaseSleep ' . All seems good and my Mac now goes to sleep so I thought I would let  you all know
    Best
    AMS

    I was doing some consulting for a client who had Snow Leopard Server on a Mac Mini 2010.  By nature a server is not supposed to go to sleep.  They wanted the same functionality, which I ended up scripting but looks like PleaseSleep is a better option.
    I've searched and saw a lot of people complain about this.  Most ended up getting Snow leopard instead of Server which solved their problems.  Good find!

  • New mac mini server won't start up

    Hi I've had the new Mac mini server for 2 day now and it was workinf fine untill I tried to restart it. When I turn it on I just get the apple logo and the gray processing wheel.
    I've have used disc utility to check the disc. But that did nothing.
    It is picking up the startup disc fine.
    Is there anything I can do or will I need to re-install.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Greetings Richard, I ran into a similar situation recently with my mini server. although I believe it to be a problem of my DNS settings getting hosed. I couldn’t log in no matter what log I used-even as the root user.
    I had a back up on the second drive of the mini. I did buy the USB drive when I bought the mini, so I was able to boot off the install disc. Then from the menu I choose the back up partion as the start up drive. After restarting, I was at least able to recover and copy my important files to the back up partition. I have not been able to work out the login issue yet. I’ll probably just do a reinstall on the corrupted drive.
    In any event, it maybe worth it for you to buy the USB drive and boot off of it.
    The verbose mode is for you to be able to login through the command line and trouble shoot from there.
    Also, in safe mode, any files that you may want to change permissions, you may need to change the owner and then change the permissions. This is done with the chown command and then chmod command. You’ll need to use the sudo command so you can become the root user to use the commands and make any changes.
    Hope this will at least help you get further in troubleshooting this issue.

  • Mac Mini Server (Late 2009) - Won't boot from Windows USB/DVD

    Hello all,
    I have a Late 2009 Mac Mini Server (Macmini 3,1) with OS X Lion.
    I have created a Bootcamp Windows Partition on one the 500GB Disk using Bootcamp 4.0.
    After the partition is created, I have tried installing Windows 7 using the Bootable USB method as well as using the CD Drive from the attached SuperDrive.
    But all I encounter is either the blinking cursor or after the "Starting Windows" logo, a BSOD.
    Any tips/help on how to proceed?
    Thanks in advance.

    Cattus,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I did use BC to create the USB stick. I also tried to create the USB on a WIndows Machine (just in case). But still can't boot from USB. What's the WIndows Utility you mentioned?
    Also, according to the this LINK, The firmware for Macmini 3,1 should be MM31.0081.B06 (EFI 1.2).
    However, the BOOT ROM info on my mac mini says MM31.00AD.B00 and I can't seem to update the EFI Firmware. I get a message "This computer does not need this update" when I try to run the MacminiEFIupdate.pkg
