MacMini Server, putting telnetd into launchd.conf problems
When I add the file /etc/launchd.conf containing only:
load -F /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/telnet.plist
the system will no longer boot (gets to the spinning wheel and stays there).
How else can I get telnetd to come up automatically on boot?
Ray
Very simplistically, when the system boots it will load any services in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ configured to run. Use launchctl to load any services you want to run, once loaded, subject to how they are set up, they will be reloaded at boot time - or if crash for any reason. Thats - very simplistic. *man launchctl* for more info.

Can I input MacMini server thunderbolt video into IMac minidvi port?
I have a new MacMini server with Thunderbolt video output, and a mid 2010 27" IMac with minidvi external video input.
I have used the IMac as a monitor for my Mac Pro with good results for over a year.
My understanding from the Apple web site is that Thunderbolt video will drive a current model 27" LED Cinema display with minidvi input, so long as the monitor is the last item in the thunderbolt chain.
I have been unable to get the thunderbolt video from my Mac Mini to drive the minidvi external video input on my IMac.
Am I doing something wrong? The monitor is the last (and only) item from the thunderbolt output on the MacMini server.
I continue to struggle with the disparate apple video standards, but need the ability to occasionally use the IMac in its external monitor mode, as opposed to remoting in to the MacMini server across the network.
Any help appreciated.My Bad...
MiniDisplayPort is required, and this is what I have.
I believe that I finally solved the problem after getting through to a tier 2 Apple tech.
It does work, but there are several caveats:
1. Both machines are required to be on before connecting them.
2. This mode will support Windows 7 in boot camp, but you are required to connect the two devices in OSX, be certain the video is displayed on the monitor which is in Target Display mode, and then reboot the source machine to boot camp.
3. The MiniDisplayPort is the required cable, even though the source machine might use thunderbolt.
Thanks.... -
How to put whitespace in launchd.conf variable values
Working on a Mavericks, I'm trying to set global environment variable available in the terminal, spotlight and any GUI application.
To do so, I want to use launchd.conf to set my environment variables. I have been able to set some variables, until I wanted to put a whitespace in the variable values. Here is the content of my launchd.conf:
setenv MYVAR2 "my var"
setenv MYVAR3 "myvar"
setenv MYVAR4 "my\ var"
setenv MYVAR5 my var
setenv MYVAR6 myvar
setenv MYVAR7 my\ var
Then, here i what I tried in my terminal:
>grep -E "^setenv" /etc/launchd.conf | xargs -t -L 1 launchctl
launchctl setenv MYVAR2 my var
launchctl setenv MYVAR3 myvar
launchctl setenv MYVAR4 my\ var
launchctl setenv MYVAR5 my var
launchctl usage: setenv <key> <value>
launchctl setenv MYVAR6 myvar
launchctl setenv MYVAR7 my var
>env | grep MYVAR
MYVAR_IN_LAUNCHD_NOSPACE6=myvar
MYVAR_IN_LAUNCHD_NOSPACE3="myvar"
As you can see, all the variable containing a whitespace (even escaped with a backslash) are purely ignored. And I need to have several variables with whitespace inside.
Instead of the "grep" command, I rebooted my mac, but the result is the same.
Is there any workaround or solution for this issue ?
RémiSo you run this command in a shell:
launchctl setenv MYVAR2 "my var"
Then this:
launchctl getenv MYVAR2
and you get nothing? You relaunch Terminal and run
echo $MYVAR2
and get nothing? -

I got an iPhone 4 on Thursday.
I connected it to my PC, a Windows Vista, that day and nothing showed up besides a "camera."
My computer picked it up as a camera, which I understand is a common occurence in the iPhone.
After browsing countless youtube videos and Apple Forum Questions, nothing helped.
I put it into recovery mode by holding on the power and menu button, but when I opened iTunes it still didn't detect anything.
I feel like I'm almost hurting my iPhone because I turned it off and on so many times, and plugged it in and out several times, and so forth.
Here is what happened after putting it into recovery mode: 1. A Windows "device locator" popped up. 2. It was looking for a solution to help me with the unknown device, or iPhone. 3. I clicked onto the find solution button, and it told me that I needed a disc.
--- I didn't have a disc, so I looked up this problem and it told me to manually find Apple mobile device support on my driver, so I did.---
4. I then went onto Control Panel and clicked on SYSTEM and MAINTENANCE and went to DEVICE MANAGER.
5. There I found my iPhone listed under USB controllers.
6. I uninstalled and installed it several times.
7. I then manually found a program to ease the problem. The program was "apple mobile device support," which was located on my apple driver.
8. Nothing happened, besides it reporting to me that Apple USB was found and that "code 39" or "code 1" was in the way.
9. I didn't know what to do with this....
By this time, I was about to give up on my iPhone and return it back to the store.
I tried again, but in a different way this time.
1. I put it back into recovery mode and I opened itunes.
2. itunes reported to me that some burning or CD/Drive software was missing and that I needed to reinstall it.
3. SO, I reinstalled it several times, about 12 (iTunes), and nothing changed.
4. I then looked up the problem of why the CD/Drive software problem kept popping up.
5. I fixed it by going to my registry and adding an UpperFilter with the code GEARaspi...something like that.
6. The problem was fixed, but still no iPhone onto my itunes.
I stayed up all night last night to fix this problem...I'm annoyed and tired.
I tried another problem to fix this.
1. I didn't put it into recovery mode.
2. My iPhone showed up under portable devices under "device manager," from SYS/MAIN"
3. I did update software.
4. I clicked on "apple mobile device support" but nothing happened.
5. It reported to me of the Code thing again.
I even called the Apple people and they didn't know what to do, so I stopped calling them...because they only had limited options to fix the problem.
Can anyone help me?There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it. -
Please let me know how to avoid receiving the spam (from the spam folder on the server) into my email accounts on the iPad. It is very annoying!
My server puts it in a spam folder and I do not receive it in the Ms Outlook on my desk computer...why do I get it on the iPad? Is it avoidable and how?bYou actually cannot do anything to your ipad when its locked but look at pictures the time and date, you need to restore it, and if it dosent let you restore, good luck chuck Heres how to restore it: Okay, i only know the itunes way soz, lol. Try to connect your ipad to itunes, if it does let you then you should be able to select the device you have in the corner somewhere, once you do that you should see a screen that looks sort of like your ipads setting, you should have a button that says "Restore" click that and your ipad should be restored. If that dosent work you should try going to your regular office depot or something. Good Luck!

I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto. The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all. How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto. Thanks
To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

Multiple domains and multiple IPs in the same MacMini Server
I am sure that this topic has been faced already but I cannot find enough information to really dig into a solution.
I have a macmini server with two IPs let say x.x.x.12 and x.x.x.13 .
The server is set up on the first IP. It has his primary zone, machine record, mail aslias and www alias.
Lets call the server domain server.domain1.com
Everything works fine I have a couple of local users and a couple of LDAP users. Just to test the machine setup.
I can send and receive emails using any of the users as [email protected]
Now I would like to have another domain, domain2.com in the same server .
The final goal is to have users under different domains. They have their own email box, calendar, etc.
It will be preferable that I can share the same username with different domains. But I can live without that option.
My first test was to have the second domain called server.domain2.com using the second IP. x.x.x.13 .
For that I created another Primary Zone with domain2.com as machine record of x.x.x.13 . To use the second IP I simply create another Ethernet interface on the macmini.
In the Mail -> Advance settings I added the host aliases as well as virtual hosting domains for domains2.com.
With this setting I can send emails as [email protected] or [email protected] but when I replay to their messages I get a "Relay access denied" error from server.domain1.com .
I also tryed another domain pointing to x.x.x.12, the same as server.domain1.com . I did not create any extra Primary Zone but the local host aliases and the virtual hosting domains.
Same issue. I can send but I get a "Relay access " error.
As you might notice I am a novice on servers settings. I just try to recreate a similar environment common to Virtual Hosting providers for my own website playground but I cannot cut through this email configuration obstacle.
Any significant meaning that can be leading me to learn how to do it will be very very appreciated . (beside lynda,com tutorials that I followed already but do not mention multiple domains for mails).
Thanksthe problem I try to solve is to manage multiple domains in one MacMini Server.
Having two IPs is secondary.
I would like that each domains has his own users with emails, iCals, Wiki and web sites.
The main problem is having emails to work for any additional domain beside the default one on the machine IP.
I also got an additional IP address to be used on the same server hoping that it make things easier but apparently is making things more difficult. -
Considering a Dell U2711 for MacMini Server
Hi All,
I am planning to buy a MacMini Server to go with my Dell U2711 Display.
I am a bit confused regarding the means of connecting the Display to MacMini for running at 2560 x 1440 resolution.
Apple tells on MacMini specifications page, that output through HDMI is limited to 1920-by-1200.
That said, I am left with the "Thunderbolt" way to achive the native resolution of 2560 x 1440, right?
So, what cable should I use to connect the display through thunderbolt port?
Some articles suggest using the so called "Mini DisplayPort to Dual Link DVI" Cable to do that, but then isn't is a misleading naming for a thunderbolt cable?
I would expect something like a "Thunderbolt to Dual Link DVI" cable.
Thanks!Iam buying this model, have tou tried 1080p videos external monitors anf full hd flash videos from vimeo?
please let me know

Just though I should fill in a bit here, as I have now bought this laptop and running Arch 64bit on it. So if any other users are considering this laptop, here are a few lines about it:
I have it up and running with LUKS disk encryption, everything works fine so far. I'm running XFCE with just a minor problem that the bottom panel is kinda blinking 3 or 4 times right after boot. Havn't tested webcam nor bluetooth, but sound and everything else seems to work fine.
Two of my biggest problems were to get the wifi up and running and to get an acceptable performance when viewing videos in full screen. As for the wifi; just me not understanding that I needed a kernel module AND a firmware.. (If someone wants to fill me in on why we need a firmware AND a kernel module/ driver, I'd be glad.) I installed the iwlwifi-5000-ucode without knowing I also needed the iwlagn module too. After that was fixed, I am now using network manager with no problems.
I have also had some problem with the Radeon 3670. The performance was bad in full screen videos when I used the xf86-video-radeonhd. (I followed arch wiki). It didn't help to use vide-ati neither, and no settings in the xorg.conf did fix my problem. I also noticed that DRI was failing in xorg.log. After alot of trying I decided to try the git-versions which are found in the AUR. I'm happy to say that I can now watch 720 (the only video resolution I have tried yet) with acceptable quality
All in all, I'm quite happy with the computer so far. A bit warm maybe. Oh, and the screen (full HD version) is SOO nice :-) -
Use MacMini server for windows apps and save for windows files ?
My question : Office equiped mixed computers , aslo Windows and Mac,
Could we use MacMini server for both machines, working by windows apps and / or to save and work with windows files on MacMini server and with Mac as well?
We woud use it for normal office work and get it by internet from other places as well
windows apps: merchandising, invoice, word, excel, pictures editing, Outlook Express + the Mac apps
thnx ,
MACIrenIn general what you can do is: in OS X, use Windows in virtualization (aka emulation), as a "virtual machine" with VMWare Fusion, Parallels, or Oracle VM Virtual box.
That way you have both operating system open side by side without having to reboot into one or the other operating system.
Not sure whether you need a Mac Mini Server per se to do that, I do that with my MacBook Pro for instance. But the server would help since it has a quad-core CPU (more cores that you can dedicate to the virtual macine), and you can put the virtual machine on the second harddrive for better disk access performance. Was there some particular reason you were thinking of the Mini Server -- do you want to use server side Windows apps?
Again I have that setup on my MacBook Pro using VMWare Fusion with an XP virtual machine. In the Windows, I only use Office 2003 and some company apps that are Windows only. With Fusion (and I'm sure the other apps can do it as well) you can set a "shared" folder so both Windows and Lion will see the contents of it for reading and writing. I believe with Fusion you can also do your entire Home directory, but I prefer to limit it to a single shared "work" folder. -
/etc/launchd-user.conf and launchd.conf no longer work in Yosemite 10.10.2
As the subject says. According to this: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201684, they should. However according to the man page for launchd.conf. "launchd.conf is no longer respected by the system." Setting "umask 077" in /etc/launchd-user.conf should be forcing the default file creation permissions to 600, and folder creation to 700, but it is not doing anything.
I've tried this on a fresh install of 10.10.2. doing a "touch 1" creates a file named 1 with the perms -rw-r--r--. On a Mavericks install it creates a file named 1 with the perms -rw------- as expected.Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.
I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
Good luck! -
How do I put data into a template using the Labview report generation toolkit for Microsoft Office?
I am running Lookout 5.0 and have recently purchased the Labview Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office to create reports from my Lookout logged data. Since I have never used Labview I am having my problems. I tried following the tutorials but they do not seem to be examples of what I want to do.
I log rainfall totals (1 spreadsheet)in Lookout from 40 different sites in 5 minute increments. I copy these totals and paste them into another spreadsheet which sums them up to give me hourly totals and then paste those totals into a spreadsheet for distribution.
In Labview I create a new report and use the distribution sheet as my template, but how do I complete
the steps of loading the raw 5 minute data into labview and then paste it into the hourly total spreadsheet and then transfer those totals into the distribution template?
I have been trying to figure this out for over a week, and I am getting nowhere.
Any response would be appreciated.
Thanks

Jason PhillipsLookout saves the files in .csv form which can be opened in Excel. I did make some progress by using the "append table to report" vi which allowed me to put values into an array and then those values were entered into my template on my report vi.
Where I am stuck now is I want to be able to put values into my template from a .csv file, not from an array I have to manually put numbers in.
Once those values are in my template I want to pull summed values from the template and place them into a final excel file for printing.
I have attached examples of the files I am working with to help you better understand what I am trying to do.
I hope that makes sense.
