Need Mac OSX 10.7 Build server

We bought some new Mac Minis and on one of them I need to have Mac OSX 10.7 running so I installed VMWare Fusion
However, when I go to install the O/S on the VM Image, I can't find a Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion) Installation Disk Image to boot the image to begin the install process.
I can find Update Images but they don't boot the image.  I need a .dmg file that will start the install process of Mac OSX 10.7 and Apple isn't allowing me to download an Image (.dmg) file.  It just keeps trying to run the install and that doesn't work because the install process is trying to run on the Mac OSX 10.8 machine NOT the VM Image that I'm trying to spin up.
Where can I find a Lion Install Disk Image?

OK - thanks.  I understand what I will have to do but I'm not happy about it.
I have 100's of machines that I support and the Macs are always the most troublesome because Apple doesn't understand how IT professionals need to operate.  I can't telnet to the Mac to get this to work, I literally have to get on the console on a machine that's across the country to download an image file (using safari) which then I have to copy that image file to a netshare in order to get back to the machine I was working on.  I then have to run a second Update on the O/S to get 10.7.5.  Instead of simply supplying an image file of the latest O/S, I need to waste a day jumping through hoops doing things "The Apple Way".
I appreciate your attention to this.

    I need to take an online course and pass a test... the course states I need Mac OSX with firefox +2, I don't know what +2 is, I don't think I have it because the course is telling me my system is not compatible. how can I make my system work?

    You should always use the latest Firefox release to get the latest bug and security patches.
    You can find the full version of the latest Firefox 26.0 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:
    *http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    If the current Firefox release isn't working then you need to contact the website and ask them which Firefox versions they support.
    If you can post a link to a public page that doesn't require authentication (login) that generates this error message then we can have a look at it.

  • How to Install DBD::mysql on Mac OSX 10.4.7 SERVER Universal

    I spent 3 days trying to figure out how to install DBD::mysql on OSX 10.4.7 Server Universal on my Mac Pro.
    I didn't think it would be so hard just to get it installed so I could use Movable Type. Yikes!
    Anyway, I wrote up a tutorial on what I did to get it installed. Hopefully it will help you out if you are having problems installing DBD::mysql on Server 10.4.7 Universal with a Mac Pro.
    DISCLAIMER: I cannot say whether or not this will work with any other version of Server or Macintosh. Inside the article below is a link to how to install DBD::mysql on other versions of OSX that may or may not work for you.

  • Network Problem AFP/SAMBA - MAC OSX 10.4.8 (Server & Desktop)

    Hi all,
    I don't know if someone have already post this problem.
    We have many Apple ( + - 200) as desktop (G5,G4 no Intel) and with the last 2 update of 10.4 (7&8) we have many problems with the volumes of the servers.
    The servers have Linux as OS and Fullpress for Filesystem.
    The linux version is : Red Hat enterprise Linux 3.
    The Samba Version is : 3.0.14 a
    The Full Press Version is : 15.01
    10.4.7
    In AFP sharing we see some folder with lock put from Old OS9 (with the other relase of 10.4 before 7 we don't see them).
    10.4.8(desktop & server)
    The network speed is very slow. If we copy from Server to Server or we copy from server to desktop the speed is avarage to 500-700 kb/s with 100mb or 1000mb network connection (LAN).
    If we copy (with the same network setup in the client) from a Unix server with Helios the speed is more and more fast (from Fullpress 2 gb -> 2 hours from Helios 2gb -> 3 minutes)
    the problem is , if we don't update to version 7 & 8 , the release 10.4.5(for example) copy the same file to server or desktop more and more and more fast (2gb from full press avg. 5 minutes).
    How can we fix this?
    (sorry for my english)
    All   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   All System

    "maybe change the protocol is a solution (but i can't change ) .
    the "problem" is for esample if you have an Online Databank with images/xpress/indesign ( for me with fullpress and helios) and if we change the protocol we "destroy" the resources of files and something going wrong in the db(many many problems).
    We must use Fullpress and Appleshare (years and years of data stored) and a change is not very easy."
    Well not necessarily. Im sure your system coud be tranistioned to something new. You have all the data.. its just a matter of converting to another system. I doubt its impossible - just REALLY expensive
    "For the fullpress (i'm not sure) i think to listen talk about bonjour , but i'm not sure and i don't knows the difference from appleshare (that "fullpress" says it is an old protocol).
    Time ago i have also 6 Silicon with Full press but Os X don't have problem , but the Os arrived at version 10.4.5 so... The helios (in appleshare and smb) don't have problem."
    Well technically i beleive Appleshare was basically the old afp protocol over appletalk, this is pre OS X (so OS n-9.x.x). Appletalk was the old apple networking protocol similar to what Bonjour is now. However now afp runs over tcp/ip and 3.0 functions more like NFS or SMB. You can access it with Bonjour networking or standard tcp/ip. I cant imagine this Full Press software not supporting that from here on out. I suspect most bureaus are all but rid of non OS X macs so it would make sense theyd let appleshare support die while moving to afpovertcp, smb and possibly webDAV and NFS.
    "Now i think maybe is a problem of Linux and how manage the connection , but something change in the clients (upgrade) and not in the servers so....."
    THis is most likely the case.. or something very simiilar.

  • HT1528 Enabling root on Mac OSX 10.7 Lion Server

    The direction provided from apple do not work and the alternative ones from general posting to copy the hash not so good idea.
    Anyway I normally work with RHEL and Solaris Unix. But have had some experience with Fedora and it´s mainly a desktop Linux. The trick for enabling the root account works and it very simple compare to the long instruction given.
    1) open Terminal
    2) from the command prompt type: sudo passwd
    3) enter your new root password, then enter it again to confirm.
    4) Type: su - root (and give your new root password when prompted)

    Install the 64-bit version and it should work. For me it was not the default download on the Shockwave player download page.
    Do not set Safari to run in 32-bit mode.

  • How come the iTouch needs mac osx 10.4.10??

    IS THERE A WAY TO UPDATE THE MUSIC IF YOU HAVE 10.4.9 AND CANT UPDATE YOUR SOFTWARE?

    I don't believe so.
    Do you have another computer or a hard drive you can install ≥10.4.10 on?
    Is it because you have software that can't go beyond 10.4.9?

  • Safari 3.1. and Mac OSX 10.5.3

    Hi everybody,
    I accidentaly dumped Safari from my system because I never used it and I didn't like it very much. anyway, I am using Opera but to set Opera as my default Browser I need Safari to change this setting. So I downloaded the new 3.1. Safari version but wasn't able to install it. I got the message that I need Mac OSX 10.2. or newer (wich I already have). So I tried to install the Tiger version as well (out of curiosity) but it didn't work either. Afterwards I was browsing through the threads in this forum and tried all the other suggestions I found, like:
    Installing the Safari 2.1. version from the install disk that came with my PBP. I was able to install it but when I tried to launch it I got the message that I cannot use this safari version with my Mac OSX version. And Software Update doesn't mention any Updates for Safari although an older version is installed.
    After that I downloaded Pacifist, repaired my permissions with disk utillity, re-downloaded the Safari 3.1 package and tried to install it via Pacifist. The .pkg file was a zero-byte file and whe I marked every file in the package, and clicked on the install button it seemed to work. I was asked for my admin password and wether I want to replace all the files connected to safari. I said yes (like mentioned in another thread in this forum). I quit Pacifist, logged out and in again but Safari is still missing. If I search for safari using spotlight, the only thing that shows up is the .dmg file.
    Does anyone have further suggestions??? I'd really appreciate it.
    I am really annoyed about all that and I don't understand how Apple can release a new version of their browser wich is incompatible with their new MAC OSX version...

    Try this:
    Go to /Library/Receipts and look for an item named Safari311Upd.pkg or something similar, and Trash it (don't empty the Trash yet).
    Decompress the Safari 311.dmg file by double-clicking on it. When it's done, open the mounted disk image (if it doesn't open automatically) and drag the pkg file to your Desktop. When it's done copying, close the mounted disk image.
    Launch Pacifist and open that package that's on your desktop. Click once on the top package icon in the Pacifist window and then choose Install from the menu, and be sure to replace all items related to Safari that it may find. When it's done, try launching Safari and post back with what happens. If everything is fine again, then you can Empty your Trash.
    As for Apple releasing a version of Safari that's not compatible with 10.5.3, that's not the case at all. It is entirely compatible; the fact that the OS is claiming something that doesn't make sense to you is not an indication that it doesn't work or isn't compatible.

  • Problems to download music from Mac OSX 10.4.11 to iPhone 4

    Hi to you all
    Since few days I am an owner of an iPhone 4. And also I have Mac with OSX 10.4.11 at home. Well, if I connect my iPhone to Mac to synch music from Mac to iPhone 4, the iPhone get not recognized and I am therefore not able to get my music from Mac on my iPhone.
    During update on Mac, I got the error message on OS is telling "Installing iTunes.pkg could not completed, this package needs Mac OSX 10.5.
    If I search on Mac for new update, it says "your system is updated and there is no other update available"
    With other words, I can not get higher release on Mac why I am not able to get a new version of iTunes on Mac and therefore why I am not able to synch my music from Mac to iPhone. Very frustrating.
    Any advise is welcome.
    Thank you.

    You will need to upgrade your version of OS on your Mac. You will need Leopard (10.5.8) or Snow Leopard (10.6.X)

  • Mac OSX 10.5.3 Leopard STANDARD Server CHANGEIP questions

    I am confused on how to check and change TCP/IP addresses via Mac OSX Leopard 10.5.3 server in STANDARD mode.
    I watched the great Sean Colins Lynda.com tutorial on OSX 10.5 Server, but i still have a few questions with how to deal with DNSs and CHANGE IP
    Here is the hardware & scenario:
    -- G5 Silver Doors Tower with 1.7GB Ram and Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard 10 user server
    -- Cablevision ISP with there BOOST service [that allows you to set-up a server and does not block ports 25 or 80]
    -- NO Static IP from Cablevison [they change it once in a blue moon when they want so I rely on DYNDNS below]
    -- Apple Airport TimeCapsule [with all latest firmware updates etc]
    -- DynDNS account and client software installed on server to update the DYNDNS severs with the current Cablevisions TCP/IP address
    Problem and Question
    ===
    Three times a year I will need to move this server. 1/3rd of year and at setup it is on residential Cablevision Account and Apple TimeCapsule Router, Then 2/3 of year server will be behind two funky large networks where I will have to set-up manual IP, DNS, and proxy info
    I need to know what the proper process is when I want to move the Mac. When the 10.5.3 STANDARD Server is in STANDARD mode can I just change the TCP/IP address in SYSTEM PREFERENCES...NETWORK ? Do I have to run the CHANGEIP command Afterwards [or Before]
    Also, for DNS config on server does it always need to have the loop back self reference [127.0.0.1] or can it just be configed from the Airport and/or network?
    And, big problem for now... dumbly when I set-up the OSX Server on the TimeCapsule Network I forgot to write down the TCP/IP address used. Now I am on the second funky corporate network and can't use the command:
    sudo changeip - idon't_knowip 10.0.96.48 server.cmtenyoffice.com server.cmtenyoffice.com
    Also, another question for the HOSTNAME... should it be HOSTNAME or FullyQuallifiedDomainName?
    My HOSTNAME seems to be "CMTE-Server.local" but I specified the FullyQualifiedDomainName to "sever.cmtenyoffice.com"
    NOTE: I do NOT have this domain registered and am not yet hosting a website or email server on this machine, but I may soon register the domain and then point MX records etc to the DYNDNS record that would point to server
    Anyhow, to wrap up,
    1- What is the proper process for changing the TCP IP address with a Leopard 10.5.3 STANDARD SERVER?
    2- What do I do with CHANGEIP command if I don't know what the STARTING TCP/IP address is?
    3- For HOSTNAME should I be entering the unregistered FQDN or the "CMTE-Server.local"
    Thanks for any an all info.

    Hi Eric
    You use the one its using now.
    If the Server is Standalone issue:
    sudo changeip - oldIP newIP oldhostname newhostname
    Even if nothing changes you can still issue the command, supply the system admin name and password and let it do its stuff. Prior to doing this you must change the address in the Network Preferences Pane. Although not necessary it does not hurt if you restart afterwards.
    If the Server is an OD Master issue:
    sudo changeip /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 oldIP newIP oldhostname newhostname
    You will not only be prompted for the system admin name and password but also for the Directory Administrator name and password. With both command you will get feedback as to what is going on. Obviously you will see more changes made if its an LDAP Server. Hostname will be the fully qualifed domain name (FQDN) defined in the DNS Service eg: myserver.mydomain.com.
    man changeip
    For usage. Actually prior to doing any of this and incidentally a good way of finding out not only the hostname but also the IP address associated with that name issue:
    sudo changeip -checkhostname
    You should run this before/after making the change. If everything checks out OK it should report 'the names match, there is nothing to change'. This is a good a test that lets you know its worked. However its not the only test. I would run host, nslookup and dig also. Next set a client to use the Server for its DNS and then test connectivity with firstly the Server's fqdn and lastly its IP Address.
    Ultimately the truest test is: "what impact has the change made on clients accessing the Server and its Services successfully?"
    If the Server is a mature OD Master (possibly PDC as well) with DNS, Mail, AFP, SMB, iCal and any other 2-3 additional services configured and running then issuing changeip may appear - superficially - to have worked. Occsasionally - in my experience - serious problems begin to develop with the LDAP database to the extent where the only 'cure' is to demote to Standalone, sorting out DNS and re-promoting. This can have serious repercussions if you have not made preparations to limit the re-build time prior to changing the IP address and issuing the command. Equally it can be successful. However can you take the risk?

  • How do I install Mac OSX Lion client on the new Mac Mini Server?

    If Apple would have had the quad-core processor option for the non-server Mac Mini, I would have just bought that, but I wanted the quad-core. I do not, however, need the server software. I found this article talking about how to disable the server functionality, but this article highlights how little that method actually does.
    Ultimately, I just want to do a clean reinstall like I used to do prior to Lion. This process used to be so easy. Create a disk image of the desired operating system on USB, option boot, and you're done. Now it appears that Apple purposely impedes this process, as every time I boot from the USB I created with Mac OSX Lion client, I get a circle with a line through it. Is there any way around this restriction? Editing firmware, editing .plist files, etc?
    Very disappointed that Apple is limiting what used to be such a simple process on Hardware and Software that I paid for but now can't get the functionality I want.

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but what I don't think you can do what you're asking for.  Closest thing is going to be disabling the server components like it says in the article, but again, that doesn't do much.

Maybe you are looking for
