Mac Mini software problems, no server serial number

I purchased a used mac mine but the server numbers were not provided. Can I install the new snow leopard on it with a superdrive or do i need to purchase a server serial number?

The serial number should be listed on a card with blue top inserted into the 5" square white package labled "Everything Else".

You should find a card (size like a cd jacket) with serial no. It should be put all together with an installation DVD and user manual etc.

I bought photoshop elements 12 for my mac. do not have a disc drive; can you download the software and input the serial number?

Mac Mini 2009 vs Leopard Server

Hi all...
I am hoping to get to the bottom of this asap, as I am looking forward to just getting on with things.
The issue is installation of Mac OS X Leopard Server 10.4 on a Mac Mini (Early 2009)
First of all.... Yes I have read the *Article HT3479* http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3479 and yes it allows you too boot your mini, however....
When you go through the installation process and are entering your information, there are several key steps missing from the interview[Server Assistant]. The main question missing is, "What type of installation" Standard, workgroup or advanced.
Another key set of questions missing is Network Setup.
So suffice to say the HT3479 does not address the issue i am experiencing.
Here are the methods I have attempted to use to install Server on this mini...
HT3479. {The result is that I can not run Server Preferences... Apparently the computer is in advanced mode and can not be reverted to standard}
The above method has been tried in the following examples...
* Install Mac OS X Client (10.5.6 from client disk)
+ Apply updates (at the time it was pre 10.5.7 so up to and including all updates to that time10.5.6)
+ Run Server installation from 10.5.4 Server Disk
+ Apply patches before rebooting
+ Run through shorted setup questions (See above)
+ check for updates before launching anything
* Install Mac OS X Client (10.5.6 from client disk)
+ Don't apply updates
+ Run Server installation from 10.5.4 Server Disk
+ Apply patches before rebooting
+ Run through shorted setup questions (See above)
+ check for updates before launching anything
I tried the above methods several times having no success
I contacted Apple support where I was asked to just try it again! and was told that nobody else was having these issues.
Great... 60Gb download capped reached so I had to wait for this month to continue.
10.5.7 update was released recently, so i thought I may be in luck.
So this month I have tried the above methods several times with the same outcomes.
In desperation I tried the following method...
Boot the Mac Mini in Target Disk Mode and running installation from an iMac targeting the disk in the mac mini. {The result is that during Boot up and Shut down verbose mode is invoked and there are numerous error messages in the log files, secondly I am experiencing several issues with DNS names etc.... won't accept SERVERNAME.local}
Anyway, this method gave me the most joy but still far from ideal.
Seemingly unfair it let me glimpse what leopard server can do, and yes i like what i see, but I really need to be able to install leopard server normally and have no issues.

I am sure that others are experiencing the same issue, as many have listed similar issues to the above, however many are open ended with no resolution. I hope that if a solution is found or it is determined that there is an issue that news can be posted by apple so others are better informed before investing money in both products hoping to achieve a working network server.

I recently purchased a Mac Mini 320 GB model and OS X Server (Leopard). Before I purchased them I asked a couple of the Genius guys if I could run OS X Server normally on one of the new 320GB Minis? And the concensus among several Apple Store employees, was that yes, there should be no problem whatsoever...
So I bought the pair, and went through the install process numerous times, and was never able to get the standard installation until I resorted to dire measures which I have outlined below.
I tried to boot from OS X Server 10.5.4 on several machines at the Apple Store, and it does not boot any of the new machines (as of 2009.06.02). The normal install (use the os x server disk to boot) works perfect on an iMac 2.4GHz machine, and on a G4 Mirrored Drive machine, and on both of these machines the process is simple. Pop in the os x server disk, go get a sandwich, come back, answer a few questions, you are up and running, and life is great. It doesn't get any better...
The problem with the newer machines is that you must install the standard os x, get all the updates, insert os x server disk, and install os x server. The unfortunate part is that by the time you install OS X Server several items have already been set, OS X Server senses this and skips about 17 screens that allow for {"standard", "workgroup", "enterprise"} setup, and goes right into the "enterprise" mode.
One of the big conveniences with the standard setup is that quite a few things are created for you. Once you use the "standard" setup you can promote the installation to the "enterprise" mode by opening it with "Server Admin" which provides infinitely more control, but using "standard" setup to start with simplifies life considerably.
If you figure out how to do the "standard" install bear in mind that when it asks you for your administrative user account info it really wants :
name : Directory Admin
shortname : diradmin
password : astrongpassword
This will allow you to go from LOCAL to LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 when using Workgroup Manager
When it asks if you want add more users you can add one user, the "Local Admin" :
name : Local Admin
shortname : localadmin
password : astrongpassword (you will have to reset this password after you login as diradmin)
You can reset the "Local Admin" password via "System Preferences ---> Accounts"
and you can create the other users via the Workgroup Manager ---> LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 domain once you get DNS and Open Directory working.
if you use "standard" or "enterprise" the first thing to setup is DNS, everything else depends on DNS being configured correctly. "standard" really shines here because it won't let you screw up DNS.
You will need private DNS even if you have a provider handle public DNS for you.
If you are using standard you will be asked for, and can enter something like the following :
domain : crystal-palace.mac.private
machine : crystal-palace
if you are doing the "enterprise" mode you will also have to enter crystal-palace.mac.private in one more field,
Each machine will have a fixed PRIVATE IP address in the form of "192.168.1.n" and a "Computer Name" that was unique within the ZONE (the group of machines) via "System Preferences ---> Sharing".
Once you switch to the "enterprise" mode you can add more machines (using the "Computer Name" above) with their respective private ip addresses.
If you are using the "enterprise" mode, You want to setup Open Directory initially as "standalone", once that is working promote it to "Directory Master" via the "Settings" Tab. If you are using the "standard" mode, the Open Directory is setup automatically as "Directory Master" but there doesn't seem to be any way to add to the DNS, I think you have to use "Directory Utility" to do this. But if you've gotten this far it is easier to promote the setup mode to "enterprise" with "Server Admin".
I have a 1TB drive partitioned into 8 logical drives , the first seven standard partitions are named BUP_1 through BUP_7 and are provide 93 GB each. They are setup as test drives. The last partition is named TM_1 which is used for Time Machine backups and it provides close to 280 GB of backup storage.
On the first partition, I installed OS X 10.5.7 along with some basic applications that I normally use. I then created a dmg installer that I saved to TM_1 using disk utility and used that to install the image on the remaining six partitions (BUP_2 ... BUP_7).
The seven standard partitions then have OS X 10.5.7, which I basically use as test drives. It is here that I attempted different things trying to get this to be a simple deal. If one attempt didn't work I moved on to the next partition...
The BUP_n already have USERNAME setup as localadmin, not admin CHECK step ( 4 ) below. Also note that the dscl commands all have a dot following them.
Steps that worked for me, that allowed me to select the setup mode for os x server.
( 1 ) Boot mac into single user mode by holding down (CMD-S) during startup until you see text scrolling on the screen.
if the text on the screen stops, and you don't get the "root # " cursor, you may have to hit return once in order to get it. Once you get the root cursor you will need to enter the following commands very carefully. On the paths you can type part of the path and hit tab for auto completion. Everything is case sensitive...
NOTICE that USERNAME needs to be substituted with the correct shortname from step ( 4 ) in steps ( 6 ), ( 7 ) and ( 8 )
( 2 ) $ mount -uw /
( 3 ) $ /bin/launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist &
( 4 ) $ dscl . -list /Users
( 5 ) $ rm -R /Library/Preferences/
( 6 ) $ rm -R /Users/USERNAME/
( 7 ) $ dscl . -delete /Users/USERNAME
( 8 ) $ dscl . -delete /Groups/admin GroupMembership USERNAME
( 9 ) $ rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
( 10 ) $ rm -R /var/db/dslocal
( 11 ) $ mkdir -p /var/db/dslocal/nodes
( 12 ) $ cp -Rp /System/Library/DirectoryServices/DefaultLocalDB/Default /var/db/dslocal/nodes/
( 13 ) $ cp -Rp /System/Library/DirectoryServices/DefaultLocalDB/dsmappings /var/db/dslocal/
( 14 ) $ passwd
( 15 A) $ shutdown -h now (if you want to reboot outside of single user mode)
OR
( 15 B) $ exit (if you want to continue booting in single user mode)
I think that to make this an easy install, there should be a small script from Apple that you can run once OS X, and OS X Server are installed, and updated, that reset everything to pristine, so that after running the script everything that needs to be removed, or reset is done so that you can go through the normal 17 screens that allow for simple setup of OS X Server, just like if you had been able to boot from the OS X Server disk.
The answer I got from Apple Support is that when new machines come out it takes a while to get the correct drivers and release an installer disk for OS X Server. The unfortunate part is that there is no simple way to allow the installer to select which mode they need for the particular installation. They are forced to take the "enterprise" mode...
I am not SURE whether the steps I have outlined above cover everything, that is why I am suggesting that if would be far more accurate if Apple provided an installer script when they have NON_BOOTABLE versions of OS X Server Installer.
After three weeks and about 150 hours worth of work, I finally gave up and took the Mac Mini and OS X Server back and bought another iMac 24. Whenever a newer version OS X Server that is bootable on the newer machines comes out, I will get it another shot...
The guy I dealt with at the Apple Store kept saying, it works, you're just not installing it correctly. He also said "I've installed OS X Server on a Mini". But everytime I asked him, "Was it a new new Mini?" and he would respond, "Well, NO!". I also asked him "Were you able to boot the Mini from the the disk ?", he responded "YES!"
I ran into some other issues, for example one night I shutdown the server, and the next morning none of the passwords would work, not even the root password. So I came up with the following, hope this helps.
PROBLEM :
This morning for some reason the Mac Mini would not allow me to log in, neither as the Local Admin, nor as the System Admin. The database containing the login info must have become corrupted.
FIRST LEVEL REPAIR ATTEMPT
I started the machine using the Apple Install DVD, holding the "C" key to force the CD to boot
Once the installer screen came up, hit return and select :
( 1 ) Menu Utilities -> Disk Utility -> Select the Drive -> Repair Permissions
( 2 ) Menu Utilities -> Disk Utility -> Select the Drive -> Repair Disk
( 3 ) Quit out of Disk Utility...
( 4 ) Menu Utilities -> Reset Password
( a ) Reset the password for the root user
( b ) Reset the password for the local admin user.
( 5 ) Quit out of Reset Password...
( 2 ) Menu Utilities -> Startup Disk
( 6 ) Select the correct disk to use for re-start.
( 7 ) Re-Start
( 8 ) I tried this several times, but could never get the new passwords to work after re-booting.
There must have still been some corruption in the database.
SECOND LEVEL REPAIR ATTEMPT
( 10 ) reboot and to hold the CMD-S to boot into the single user mode.
At the root prompt, type in the following commands. I might have to hit return, if there is a white cursor that appears to be hung up waiting for input, just hit return, then you should see the root prompt.
First try :
( 11 ) root # fsck -f
( 12 ) root # mount -uw
( 13 ) root # passwd
( 14 ) root # exit
( 15 ) when the login dialog appears try to login as root
( 16 ) if you can login, go to :
( a ) System Preferences -> Accounts and reset the password for the Local User in question.
ELSE
( b ) Go to step ( 20 ) below
THIRD LEVEL REPAIR ATTEMPT
This is the command set to reset the local DB on the server
20. $ reboot and to hold the CMD-S to boot into the single user mode.
21. $ mount -uw /
22. $ mv /var/db/dslocal /var/db/dslocal.old
23. $ mkdir -p /var/db/dslocal/nodes
24. $ cp -Rp /System/Library/DirectoryServices/DefaultLocalDB/Default /var/db/dslocal/nodes/
25. $ cp -Rp /System/Library/DirectoryServices/DefaultLocalDB/dsmappings /var/db/dslocal/
26. $ passwd
FOURTH LEVEL REPAIR ATTEMPT
( 31 ) Shutdown the machine with the problem( we will call it the pm for problem machine)
( 32 ) attach a firewire cable to the pm on one end
( 33 ) attach the other end of the firewire cable to a good machine (call it gm)
In my case the gm uses firewire 400, and the pm uses firewire 800, so I had to get a cable that had firewire 400 on one end, and firewire 800 on the other,
( 34 ) start up the pm while holding down the "T" key until you see a large image floating around the pm screen. This put the pm into the "TARGET" mode, now it will behave like a drive, and you should see the drive on your gm desktop.
( 35 ) You can now copy anything you need from the pm to the gm.
( 36 ) Make sure you BACKUP anything and everything you want from the pm to the gm
( 37 ) IF YOU ARE WORKING ON A MACHINE CONTAINING OS X SERVER :
At this point, if nothing else has worked you will have to erase the drive and
( a ) re-install OS X, and
( b ) re-install OS X Server on the pm
( 38 ) IF YOU ARE WORKING ON A MACHINE CONTAINING OS X :
At this point, if nothing else has worked, from the Install DVD you can
( a ) Archive and re-install OS X on the pm
Another interesting thing that has happened several times now, is that I always install standard OS X on the first partition of the disk, and OS X Server on a different partition, and after installing OS X Server the machine would no longer boot from the standard OS X partition. This has happened like four different times, not sure what could be causing this problem. Booting from the install disk and running Disk Utilities to repair the disk (which comes back OK), and repair permissions always comes back with an internal error,and cannot be completed.
I have no clue what could be happening. I always had to reformat the drive and instal OS X all over again.
I have no clue what could be causing this to happen ?

Os x server serial number

i want to re-enter the os x server serial number without reinstalling the server. can this be done?
i want to do this because although the serial number is correct, the site license information below it is wrong (viewed in server admin).
when i highlight that information and press delete on the keyboard the information disappears but once i hit the save button the site license information appears again.
i need to remove the site license information as i believe it's giving me serial number problems. i don't have a site license so those fields should be blank. randomly the server kills all services and in server admin i've seen "invalid serial number" and also "duplicate serial number".

It is also worth asking the question, "…is anyone, anywhere also using this license key?" With the release of Mac OS X 10.4.7, OS X Server began checking to see if its license was 'in use' on any other platform. Again, such an instance will produce the result you see, and the fact that someone else's site information appears suggest that you have installed a duplicate key, intentionally or in error.
Check to see that your key is accurately entered to eliminate this possibility, or contact Apple through your enterprise representative or through (800) APL CARE to determine why this sort of error occurs.

Mac Mini as a Media Server

I'm debating between Mac Mini and Apple TV. My wife and I are making some final decisions about which we want to go with. And she wants my decision quickly so she can pick up an Apple TV before Christmas if that's what we're deciding on. However, I'm seriously leaning towards saving up for a Mac Mini as a home media server, to buy sometime next year.
But I have several final questions I need clarity on. Hopefully someone here can answer all or even just a few of these questions. I've been to three Apple stores, and they're all technologically clueless, not to mention trained to avoid discussing Mac Mini as a media server product.
1. Can I get a Mini DVI to HDTV adapter, so I can use HDTV with the Mac Mini?
2. Can I upgrade the hard drive of a Mac Mini through an authorized service center without voiding an Apple TV warranty? Apple says they won't do it.
3. Anything Apple TV’s software can do, I can do directly with Front Row and iTunes using the Mac Mini, right? My understanding is that Apple TV is essentially a modified Front Row.
4. NetFlix cannot be streamed with Apple TV without hacking it with Boxee or something, correct? (Which, presumably, also voids the warranty?) I know Mac Mini can stream Netflix through a Microsoft Silverlight component.
5. I know I can always use screen sharing with the Mac Mini and my MacBook Pro so that I can control the mini without having to connect a keyboard and mouse. But can I also use the television (a 42” widescreen plasma) as a monitor if I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected to the Mini? Does the OS actually adapt to the TV screen correctly? The last time I hooked up my MBP to a TV, it would cut off my menu bar, blow up the size of fonts, or I'd have to reduce the resolution significantly, making the OS appear incredibly small on the huge TV!
6. To use the TV as a monitor, I assume I would need an adapter that converts the Mini DisplayPort to VGA or HDTV or something or another?
7. Is there any way I can use a Mac Mini as a DVR for something playing on the television, or will I still need to get a DVR box from my cable company or Tivo?
8. With Mac Mini, can I stream music from iTunes libraries on another computer? (An iMac PowerPC G5 running Tiger, and a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard; both have separate iTunes libraries as they each have an iPod or iPhone that syncs with them; the MBP/iPhone is mine, and the iMac/iPod my wife's.)
9. If Apple ever gets around to building a Blu-Ray DVD player for their systems, I assume the DVD player in the Mini is not replaceable?
10. Is it my imagination, or does the $999 Mac Mini not actually include a *built-in* DVD player??
11. Is there any meaningful performance difference in audio/video playback between a Mini vs. an Apple TV? Better or worse for either? I’m particularly concerned with bad/choppy playback of both streamed movies (from Netflix or the iTunes Store), and locally stored movies (purchased from iTunes Store).
12. I currently don’t have any speakers or sound systems, but will probably add one some day. Sound currently just plays through the relatively decent built-in speakers of the television. With a Mac Mini, will volume be controlled through the Mini, or through my television?
13. Lastly, are there any remote control options for the Mac Mini? Or, at the least, an app I can put on my iPhone to control the Mac Mini? i.e. remote for DVD control (accessing the DVD menu, changing chapters, rewind/ffwd, and so on.)
Many, many thanks and happy holidays to all...
Dan

Hi- I'll have a go at your list...
1. Yes. Belkin sells one. There are cheaper alternatives that work just as well.
2. If you order from Apple online store, they can bump up the gigs for you, and keep the warranty intact.
3. Yes, and perhaps better, with programs like Plex and VLC.
4. Correct, but the 'hack' is easily removed, with no one knowing that you actually did it, should you need to send it in for service.
5. Absolutely! I've got my mini connected to a 46' Sony Bravia TV, and am using it to write this post right now. Running at a full 1080p, and loving it.
6.The mini comes with a mini-dvi to dvi adaptor. You will need to buy a DVI to HDMI cable (as I mentioned in #1 above, Belkin makes one, and you can find alternatives for around $5 on the net.
7.I believe you will need some extra gear for this. The Apple TV also cant do this. It IS possible with a mini, though, and I believe impossible with an Apple TV,
8. Yes. I am also doing that at this very moment- With home sharing turned on, I am streaming my itunes library from the iMac G5 in the other room.
9. Not without voiding your warranty.
10.That is correct. The server version of the Mac Mini does NOT have a superdrive.
11. No choppiness on my 2.26 gHz Mini with 4gb of ram, running a full 1080p on 46' TV
12. If you connect via optical digital, sound volume is controlled by the equipment you have connected to it. If you connect via analog, the Mini controls the volume.
13.Air Mouse Pro is the iPhone app you should look at. There are others, but that will allow you to use your iPhone to control a whole lot. There are more advanced options like Jaadu as well
Good luck

Server serial number

I managed to get into an unidentified (one of 2) I mac G3's one for sure needs a server serial number to access anew.

I got into the computer today, with the option start, and got in deep enough to start grinding up the trash- it's a 'little guy' with 4.65 and 655 m's available on the server, and 1 G available of 4.55 on the Client. It's running ( Imac G3) on jaguar, and i did get (yesterday) to the fresh opening, allowing new administator!
Now I get to show the boss the mac advantage!
thanks Kurt!

There is no serial number and you don't need one. What you need for a subscription is to SIGN IN within Acrobat, so it knows the subscriptions you own.

My mac Mini has problem rendering images and video

THE PROBLEM:
My mac mini has problem rendering JPEG image. There are strips on the images. Other images such as GIF, PNG, TIFF, and BMP are displayed nicely.
The images shown in the links below illustrate the problem:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/71481156/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terencewong/73360989/
(Please note that this image is grabbed from my faulty Mac Mini and saved into TIFF. For uploading purpose, I converted it into JPEG on ANOTHER computer.)
For movies, AVI can be playback without problem. But when it is converted to MPEG, it looks like an untunned TV channel.
FIXES TRIED:
I did erase and install 3 to 4 times using both the install disc and my Tiger Family Pack. All ended up with strips on the JPEG images and the generated MPEG movies.
I've also tried to flash the firmware to 113-xxxxx-124 using ATI's october 2005 universal ROM update, however, the ROM Revision shown in System Profiler is still 113-xxxxx-116 no matter how many time I reboot the system.
INVESTIGATION:
Yesterday, I did some research and got to know that JPEG and MPEG are using DCT (Discrete Cosine Transform) for decompression. And the ATI Radeon 9200 chip provide such a transform on hardware basis, which free the CPU from doing something else. Feel free to point out my inaccuracy.
HARDWARE SPECIFICATION:
I bought the Mac Mini in the last Februray.
The system Boot ROM version is: 4.8.9f1
Display card is ATI Radeon 9200
Chipset Model: ATY,RV280
Revision ID: 0x0001
ROM Revision: 113-xxxxx-116
A POSSIBLE CONCLUSION:
I suspect that it is this part of the chip (the DCT) that is faulty.
Anyone know how to fix this problem?
Many thanks!

Assuming that your display is tightly connected, thus the problem is not caused by something as simple as that, the fact that a full erase and install has not removed the problem would, I think, point to this being a hardware issue, and given that everyone's mini (with the possible exception of some of the latest ones) has the same video chipset as yours, and do not suffer the problem that you appear to, it seems very likely that your mini has a fault which is in need of repair.
If you have an Apple Store nearby, I would take it there to have it checked out - at the very least they should be able to replicate your problem using an in-store display, and if not, thusly suggest it's something external to the mini and concerning your display or something very unusual in the immediate environment of the mini. If you don't have an Apple Store in reach, I'd take the system to an Apple authorized service provider since at the present time it is under warranty.

Mac Mini don't install server update after yosemite

I've updated the OS X on my mac mini with OS X server to Yosemite, and from this on I can't install the server update 3.2.2. So, I was forced to buy the OS X Server 4.0, even though I wasn't informed about this. I bought the Mac Mini with OS X Server on March for my company, and it took less than one year for me to spend more money with something I had already bought, without being informed. So, I want to know if this is the right procedure or if I can have my money back, as I've bought 7 months ago.

You have the following options:
1.) Restore an old backup back to Mavericks with your server working, then upgrade to version 3.2.2
2.) Purchase Yosemite Server version 4.0 to upgrade your server data to 4.0
3.) Wait for Apple to offer you a different solution.
I do not recommend option #3 as it is assured that you will wait FOREVER.
