Mac pro server spotlight not working

OSX 10.8.4 - spotlight has stopped working for my end users. Not sure why. Nothing catastrophic has happened other than my having to re-initiate file sharing (turning the service back on) after a restart.
I've done disk util and repair with no issues there. I re-indexed by opening sys prefs / spotlight / privacy and dragged in several folders they access, then romoved them to initiate the re-indexing. This did not work either.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Mac OSX Server VPN Not Working

Heres how my setup is: I have an ATT DHCP Server/Router That assigns my public ip.
I have an Apple AirPort Extreme in Bridge Mode Which hosts the main wifi connection.
I have my Mac OSX Server connected to the AirPort Extreme
On my ATT Router DHCP Server's Firewall I have my computer set to DMZ Plus mode which forwards all ports on the network to my mac.
I am trying to connect to the vpn network via my MacBook Pro and iPhone5 and I cannot. However I can connect to the online wiki page on my server by going to server.djswirkmke.com if you would like to see it. My host name is server.local on the network but on the internet it is server.djswirkmke.com I also have a mail domain setup as mail.djswirkmke.com. My problem is I am not able to connect to the vpn on the client computers can you please help?

In a moment of random frustration, I tried listing the DNS server in VPN settings three times, and it somehow fixed the problem. Even though it is the same IP all three times, it works when it is listed three times but not when it is listed just once.
In other words, in VPN > Settings > Client Information > DNS Servers, I have:
192.168.100.64
192.168.100.64
192.168.100.64
Hope this helps someone having the same problem.

Probably because this card "is not supported in FreeBSD," the building block for Mac OS X kernel...
The Serial ATAPI has to do with your Superdrive bus...
Not sure if the first issue is related to the second, or if both the network card is unsupported and the ATAPI device is connected improprerly...
I was just researching, I am no expert. But thanks for posting the log. Hope you get your computer working.

Re-Installation on new Mac Pro - Serial Number not working

I purchased Logic Studio as an upgrade to Logic Express 7. Now I am attempting installation on a new, different Mac. The serial number prompt says that my Logic XS key is invalid.
Because this was originally an upgrade from Logic Express, does that mean that I have to install the old and unnecessary Logic Express on the NEW machine? That seems really dumb.

And, yes the answer is install Logic Express 7.

Routing Appletalk on Mac Pro Server 10.4

Hi all,
what I would like to do is to route Appletalk from one ethernet port to the other, i.e. have Appletalk active on both ports (if you like to know why is because I have one Ethernet port to my college network and the other one connected my office private network with a very old Kodak 8650 printer that works only thru Appletalk).
Previously I had a G5 with 10.4 Server and I was able to set it up nicely following the instructions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106453 but since I switched to the Mac Pro that does not work anymore.
Does anyone have any experience on this? Is the Intel OS 10.4 unable to do this?
Can I mess around with Darwin and get it to work (yeah, right
Thanks

I set this up on five interfaces of my 10.4.7 PPC
XServe last night. What is or isn't happening?
What happens is that Appletalk is enabled only on one port. The one which is set up as a SeedRouter (in the preferences.plist); the one set up as a Node does not sees anything any Zone, or Server or Printer
If you understand AppleTalk networking, it seems fairly
straightforward. If you want, post the AppleTalk
stanzas from /Library/Preferences/SystemConfig/prefernces.xml.
I'm not sure how to post the whole file, the relevant portions of the file are (in xml)
<key>AppleTalk</key>
<dict>
<key>ConfigMethod</key>
<string>SeedRouter</string>
<key>SeedNetworkRange</key>

I doubt that Intel has much, if anything, to do with
That's what I thought except that the same file preferences.plist file that works on a my G5, does not work on the MacPro

Mail, iCal Server and iChat server will not work over VPN

I have an Airport Extreme Base Station at the office running the network. Behind it sits a Mac Mini Snow Leopard server running 10.6.3. The ports necessary for Mail, iCal Server and iChat work fine through that external connection. I can also connect with VPN from my 10.6.3 clients.
HOWEVER, when I connect with the VPN clients, I am suddenly unable to access the Mail, iCal Server, Wiki server and iChat server. All connections time out. I can ping the server and I can do other things that do NOT work on the public Airport like ssh or VNC. ssh and VNC are closed at the airport extreme.
So it's pretty odd. When I'm connected via the VPN, all ports that are forwarded to the Snow Leopard server time out over the VPN.
I've tried various and sundry configurations with the VPN client. This includes trying to send all traffic over the VPN, moving it up in the service order, etc. etc. Nothing fixes it. DNS resolution is working fine, however when I do a wireshark capture of ppp0 traffic, I notice that SSL and TLSv1 handshakes appear to occur on the public IP address instead of the private network IP address... and they're all resets.
Has anyone gotten this to work successfully? Like I said, all ports that are NOT forwarded through the Airport work fine over the VPN, but will not work when connected to the VPN. It's really bizarre.

New data: any ports that are normally forwarded on the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini server will not work when connected to the VPN.
For instance, if I have imaps/993 forwarded from the Airport Extreme to the Mac Mini, it works fine over the Internet. If I connect to the VPN, I can connect to all OTHER services on the Mac Mini, but Mail, for instance, will not work.

We are a creative design studio, we need to use apple mac pro server , so we can make more than a different user to use at the same time doing different activities, on different screens, is it possible?what is the max. no. of users that can work efficient

Appreciate your support and if possible , how to do this?

If you want to work with Mac OS X, you need one computer per simultaneous user.
What you are describing, " Multiple simultaneous logins to a single computer" is not avialable on a regular Mac of any description, unless you decide to use Unix tools instead of Mac OS X.
Server will happily store files for many, many users and provide them to multiple (up to hundreds) of computers at "near hard Drive" speeds over Gigabit Ethernet. It can make the File Sharing part easy.

Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode

Migration Assistant: Problems transferring data from PC (XP SP3) to new Mac Pro 2012 - can not get Migration Assistant to work as PC will not display verfify passcode
Hello, I am having problems migrating data from my old PC running XP (SP3) to my new Mac Pro 2012 using the Migration Assistant.
- I downloaded and installed the Windows Migration Assistant from Apple
- My Mac recognized PC and displays passcode
- The sasscode does not show / display on my PC
- My Mac is then stuck in "authenticating" loop and the PC is stuck "waiting for Mac to connect."
- Both computers are connected on same network (have connected PC on WIFI and using ethernet to Reuter)
I have looked on support site and only response I saw says to reinstall Windows Migration Assistant (which I have done)
Any ideas? If cant get this to workare there instructions for manually bring across relevant data eg itunes music and apps, photos, picasa data etc?

Why not turn off the Windows firewall and uninstall any other firewall software you have installed?
If you are using a Norton product uninstall it and discard it. To fully unistall most Norton products you have to go to the Norton website and download a soecial program to completely get rid of it. The normal uninstall feature built into the program will not remove all of it.

To RAID or not to RAID: 4Tb Mac Pro Server

Hi,
Hope someone can steer in the right direction.
I've got a Mac Pro Server. It has 4 x 1Tb HDs and a 6TB Drobo S for backup. It has a RAID card.
My query is, as I need at least 2Tb space instantly to store Final Cut Pro files, etc. Won't be using the server to actually edit anything, or any other tasks.
a) Do I set up RAID and get only approx. 2TB of usable space - therefore filling it up straightaway
b) Leave it as 4 separate 1Tb harddrives (to get most space)and let the Drobo do its BeyondRAID thing? (At the moment the data is all a Mac and on single Firewire external drives).
c) If I go RAID (it's brand new so I'm at the setup stage). Which is the best option for me?
d) If I do RAID, should I partition 100gb on drive 1, for OSX and programs, etc and then RAID the rest? I guess that means I have to reinstall the whole system? Or can I 'live' partition on a Mac these days?
The Mac Server is a fairly temp solution as we're getting a proper SANs this year, but at present the data lives on a Mac tower (with MyStudio backup drive) and also on a few Firewire drives.
HELP!
Many thanks.

1. With only 4 drives, raid 5 should be fine. That gives 3TB (1TB for redundancy).
2. A backup is more important than raid.
3. The raid setup for the san can be tricky. Depending on the size, you may not want raid 5, but 50, or 6. Consider: A 16TB raid 5 array will need to read all bits CORRECTLY to rebuild a failed raid 5 array. What is the bit error rate of modern disks? Approximately 1 bit for 16TB-20TB of data. So a large raid 5 san may fail to rebuild. Got a backup? This is why they created raid 6.
4. I would setup an extra partition, maybe 100GB, on the raid array. Why? I find it handy, if you need to check the disks, you can reboot from that 100GB partition and check the big partition. Also, you can have 2 different versions of the os on the raid array. You will find this useful, when a update comes out that breaks some things, you can run off the older os and you don't have to live with the broken functionality.

My Bose Companion 5 speakers are not getting detected in mac pro. They are working fine with other machines (including mac).

My bose companion 5 speakers are not getting detected on Mac Pro. They are working fine with other machines (including friend's mac)

Same Issue here. I had a similar issue with my Bose USB speakers when I upgraded to Maverick. I've had the speakers since 2010 and had no issue with my 2006 Mac Pro or my iMac till the Maverick upgrade, contacted both Apple and Bose with no luck but an Apple update fixed the issue.
I wonder if other USB speakers have an issue or is it just BOSE USB speakers. But my Companions did work fine with my Mac Pro and iMac 27 till the Yosemite update with an initial issue with the Maverick upgrade it was definitely an Apple issue not Bose. I have both Boise Airplay and Blue tooth speakers that seem OK it is only the USB Companions that don't work.
Will look forward to a solution.
Thanks,
Rich

Need Help Please

Try this. Open one of your files. The window that contains your picture is named at the top. Command click on the name and you'll see the entire path starting with its name and then moving to the folder, the folder it is contained in, etc all the way to down to the hard drive volume name. This should tell you where to find the folder.
