NetBoot from NetRestore Image hangs at 0% progress

I've setup an OS X 10.6.5 machine with all of the user accounts and software that I'd like on all of the clients. I used the SIU on our 10.6.5 OS X Server to create a NetRestore image from that machine. I have configured the NetBoot service on the server to use that image.
I have followed the steps in the book +Beginning Mac OS X Snow Leopard Server+ to get to this point.
When I try to boot the client from the network, I see the connection in the NetBoot service logs:

At this point the ServerAdmin interface shows that the client is connected (see image below), but that it's stuck in the NetInstall stage and at 0%. This continues for a couple of hours and then the client connection drops.

What happens on the client? Does it boot into the installer? Does it error out before booting?
If it gets to the installer, hit Cmd-L to bring up the log, and Cmd-3 to display all messages. If it fails here, there should be something in the log.

Creating NetRestore Image of OS X Yosemite (10.10) from Mac Mini Server Running Mavericks (10.9)

Hello all,
We are attempting to create a NetRestore image of a Macbook Pro running Yosemite (10.10) from a Mavericks (10.9) Mac Mini running OS X Server. Previously we connected a Macbook Pro in target mode to our Mac Mini (both running Mavericks) using System Image Utility to create a NetRestore SP0 from which we could deploy to all of the computers in our lab running Mavericks. We did this as a method to update the applications on each iMac locally from the hosted NetRestore image we created. We are now receiving several new iMacs and Mac Pros running Yosemite (10.10) native and we wish to use the same process to update these machines from our Mac Mini (Mavericks) running OS X Server.
We are now trying create a NetRestore image from a native Yosemite Macbook Pro using System Image Utility on our Mac Mini (running Mavericks) however when the Yosemite Macbook Pro is connected in target mode, System Image Utility does not recognize the volume although it is recognized by our Mac mini (e.g., the yellow-orange image icon is displayed on the Mac Mini's desktop). Some of our lab computers are still running Mavericks, and my understanding is that Mavericks NetRestore Images cannot be created from a Mac Mini with OS X Server running Yosemite.
Must we upgrade our Mac mini from Mavericks to Yosemite for System Image Utility to recognize our Yosemite Macbook Pro (connected in target mode) in order to create a Yosemite NetRestore Image?
Note: We know there are better alternatives (e.g., Munki) to deploy updates to our machines via server and are working to establish a more convenient process, but this is the method we have been comfortable using before running into the above issue.
Thanks all!

You could use DeployStudio to 'serve' both Yosemite and Mavericks images from your Mac mini which can still run Mavericks. You would also use DeployStudio to make an image of the MacBook once it has been loaded and then this image can be restored to multiple machines.

System image utility set to create NetRestore Image, creates Netboot Disk instead

Hi, I'm trying to create some OS X 10.10.1 netrestore images and no matter what I do with selecting options SIU makes the image a netboot image instead of a netrestore image. Has anyone any suggestions?
As a workaround I've created my image and used the .dmg with an old working netrestore image.

Hi Patrick,
If you are having issues creating a NetRestore image in System Image Utility, you may find the following articles helpful (apologies if you have already seen them):

Having trouble creating NetRestore images.

I am pulling out what little hair I have on this one, so any help is greatly appreciated.
I am creating a NetRestore image of a 10.8.2 laptop, connected (firewaire) to a server running 10.8.2. System Image Utility does it's thing, says it's done. I can make it availlable.
This is where the hilarity ensues.
It ends up being a NetBoot image. No matter what settings I check, whether I use the "custom" option or not, every image I have made that should have ended up a NetRestore image, boots the laptops I am trying to image with the very same image, but only as a NetBoot.
I even attempted to make a NetInstall image from my Mountain Lion installer, and it does the same exact thing and it ends up making a NetBoot image.
All created images end up in a .nbi folder, all in the correct folder to be served from.
Please tell me I am missing something simple, I cannot keep creating an image of the same computer expecting a different result. Isn't that the definition of insanity?
Help?

I'm fumbling through this process as well and find it incredible that there is practically nothing from Apple which documents the full process that is required of us. All I have been able to find are a few paragraphs which tell me that I want NETBOOT images for getting my computers up to the point of being imaged and that I want NETRESTORE images for cloning of these machines. Apart from that I feel as though I'm left on my own to figure out HOW I'm supposed to make it work.
That being said, I can't tell you what is wrong in your specific case but I can offer two suggestions:
1) I was told on 3/1/13 by a senior apple enterprise guy that you can't perform the IMAGE creation on the server if the two machines have different hardware. Lets say you have your laptop connected to an imac running the server app...you can't boot your laptop into TARGET DISK MODE (TDM) with firewire/thunderbolt to the imac and run the SYSTEM IMAGE UTILITY and expect the process to give you what you desire. I've proven to myself that you can do it but I was told flat out that this won't work because the machine that runs the SIU will build an image for that type of hardware and you can't then push the image out to a different machine. So in this case you end up with an imac image that you couldn't deploy to your laptops, even though the source image came from a laptop.
Apparently you will need to use a 2nd laptop in this scenario to run the SIU; or you can boot the machine onto another volume and run the SIU from that volume against the source volume. You could do this by booting the machine into recovery mode using R at startup and use the restore options to put a clean O/S onto an external drive-then boot to that drive and run SIU against your source.
2) I've found something called the PENN STATE MACADMINS
http://macadmins.psu.edu
they have published lengthy videos and associated PDFs of those presentations which are supposed to help folks like us. The problem that I'm running into with what is currently posted is that it is for 10.7, not 10.8. I'm currently wading through it and trying my best to work out the differences myself.
-good luck

Netboot Multi Cast Image not working

After reading through tons of documentation and forums I finally found that you can create (supposedly) a multi cast image in Disk Utility, then use System Image Utility to create a NetBoot image with it and have a multi cast image to deploy though NetBoot. However, it's not working.
I read if I mounted the image.dmg, then opened DU, Selected the image in DU's side bar, clicked "Image" from the menu bar, then "Scan image for restore..." it would automatically turn it into a multi cast image file. So I did that.
After the image went through the DU's image scanning process, I used System Image Utility to crate a "NetRestore Image". That process went though successfully, as well. I can see what appears to be the correct files under /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0. However, when I NetBoot the computers I want to re-image I see explication points over the NetInstall file and the NetInstall files don't look like the normal NetInstall icons.
I used the original image before to create a NetBoot image, but didn't do the "Scan image for restore..." and it was successful. But now that I've Scanned the image it won't work.
Does anyone know how to make it work?
Did I not do the multi cast process correctly?
Any tips or walkthroughs you could give would be really appreciated.
*Please, assume I'm stupid and give clear details of what to do, thank you!*
Here is what the computer's install options look like:

Wow...deploystudio is amazing. Always works flawlessly for me and is super customizable. When was the last time you tried it? I think it is a lot easier and def. a lot less frustrating than netrestore which has never worked properly in the past for me. And they also have a dedicated forum for any issues you might have.

Snow Leopard client for NetRestore image not being recognized in Mountain Lion Server

I target firewired a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard and ran System Imaging Utility and the machine does not show up as an option. Does Mountain Lion Server support Snow Leopard NetRestore images or am I doing something wrong?

I'm actually trying to figure that out as well. We have 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 Images we wanted to put together for our netrestore images on our server, but can only do 10.8 images currently.
We also have the AppleCare Helpdesk diagnostic kit which includes hardware tests, we were only able to get the newer mid-2012 and late-2012 Diagnostic utilities to netboot but none of the older ones.
So do we need a server running the older OS to get these or is there a better alternative? i mean really shouldnt be a problem considering theyre running inside of an image and dont rely heavily on the server resources other than to say "Yep, goto this file/directory".
I'd like to know more as well....

Supress image in Drag operation from af:image Drag Source

We have a image with client Attribute that is used as AttributeDrag Source
jsff snipped looks like this
<af:image id="image1" ....... source= ........
<af:clientAttribute name="SymbolId"
value= .......
<af:attributeDragSource attribute="SymbolId"/>
</af:image>
When user does a drag from this image, by default, user sees the same image being dragged
We need to suppress the image and just show a + icon while drag is in progress.
Any pointers ?
Thanks,
Jaspal

I understand this is the default behavior.
To clarify the Use Case, we drag from adf image into a flex region. Once drag enters flex, flex fetches a different image for the object being dragged
User sees 2 images when drag enters flex, a ghost image coming from adf and the correct scaled down image from flex. We need to suppress the ghost image from adf
Looking for workaround (maybe javascript) to suppress the ghost image and just show a + icon while drag is in progress

Trying to print from My Image Garden; get msg "An internal error has occurred"

I can't print from My Image Garden (v2.0.1), I either get "An internal error has occurred" or the program hangs. I run WIndows 7 64 bit. I can print to the Pixma Pro-100 from other programs.

I get the same intermittent problem when I try to scan via Image Garden. The whole thing freezes and I have to reboot to try again.

10.5 Server hosting 10.4 netboot and netinstall images

It appears that 10.5 Server can only host 10.5 netboot and netinstall images, at least according to the documentation that accompanies System Image Utility. Does anyone know of a workaround? I have 10.5 Server on our office Xserve, but only have one 10.5 client and most of the computers we have can't run 10.5 anyway. I had a 10.4.x netinstall image and netboot image set up under 10.4 Server that worked beautifully, but apparently Apple seems to want to FORCE people to upgrade, which really angers me.
Does anyone know a workaround that would allow me to continue using a 10.4 netinstall image and netboot image as hosted by 10.5 Server?

I've not tried making any new images with the System Image Util yet but our old 10.4 images stayed on the server when I upgraded it from 10.4 to 10.5 and the images still work.
Did you upgrade the NetBoot server from 10.4 or did you do a clean install? I just had to uncheck the images and check them again and restart NetBoot!
Luckily we're about to go up to 10.5 on all the machines here!

Reading grayscale values from saved image

Hi,
I've written several methods that crop, convert to grayscale, histogram equalise and then resize a colour jpeg image for preparing sets of images for a face detection neural network. The next thing I want to do is to write a method that allows me to read that saved grayscale images pixel values back as singular grayscale values from the RGB values that were used to save the jpeg. I used this code to create the 2D array of grayscale pixel values
      for (int i = 0; i < imageWidth; i++)
            for (int j=0; j <imageHeight; j++)
                grayRGB[i][j] = (rgb[i][j] & 0xff000000) | (eqGray[i][j]<<16) | (eqGray[i][j]<<8) | (eqGray[i][j]);
                img.setRGB(i, j, grayRGB[i][j]);
            }and then used this code to resize the image:
        BufferedImage resized = new BufferedImage(20,20,1);
        Graphics2D g = resized.createGraphics();
        g.drawImage(img, 0, 0, 20, 20, null);
        g.dispose();my class gets the RGB values on instantiation as follows:
        //get RGB pixel values for image loaded
        for (int i = 0; i < imageWidth; i++)
            for (int j=0; j <imageHeight; j++)
                rgb[i][j]= inputImage.getRGB(i,j);
                //perform bitwise shift rgb information values to obtain appropriate values for each colour pixel
                r[i][j]= (rgb[i][j] >> 16) &0xff;
                g[i][j]= (rgb[i][j] >> 8) &0xff;
                b[i][j]= (rgb[i][j]) &0xff;
            }Is there a way to get the grayscale values directly from an image that is already converted to grayscale without having to perform the grayscale conversion method again, perhaps using a similar bitwise shift?
Thanks
Nick

answering this myself for those lost souls like i was a while ago:
the answer is very simple when you get to know it :) : use a signed type for your image. this can be achieved by using the Format Operator (javax.media.jai.operator.FormatDescriptor). an example as follows :
        BufferedImage bufferedImage= someimage...
        ParameterBlock pb = new ParameterBlock();
        pb.addSource(bufferedImage);
        pb.add(DataBuffer.TYPE_SHORT);
        RenderedImage formattedImage =
                JAI.create("format", pb, null);
// you may use as well TYPE_DOUBLE or TYPE_FLOATimage could be of any type such as PlanarImage, BufferedImage, RenderedImage etc..
then all you need to do is read your pixel values by using an iterator such as RectIter or RandomIter to access pixel values etc..

How to add layers from different images?

I would like to use layers from several images in a single image. The idea is to give an x-ray view so that you can see images of different views of an object by selecting the opacity of the various layers. It would be similar to an image of the anatomy of a hand: you could see just the skin, or just the bones, or see the bones through the skin. Is this possible, and if so, how?

Here is a loink on how you can copy image as a layer from several images to single image - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshopelements/using/WS287f927bd30d4b1f-f216bde12e28ad1224- 7fee.html#WS287f927bd30d4b1f-f216bde12e28ad1224-7feb

How do I copy layers from one image to another?

I am editing figures for a journal and I need arrows for multiple images. Is there a standard arrow? I can only see free hand. If I use a free hand arrow I then want to copy it to the other images for consistency. How do I copy or share layers between images?

There are many arrows in the shape tool, or you can set the line tool to have an arrowhead in the tool options. You can copy/paste layers from one image to another, or drag a layer from the layers panel into the main image window of another image and then use the move tool to position it. You can also drag into the thumbnail in the photo bin, but you'll still need to bring the image up to adjust the positioning.

Removing keyword from multiple images at the same time

None of the documented methods seem to work for me.
1     Select all the images. Go to Metadata > Remove Keyword [my keyword] - the keyword is only removed from the image that is selected in the batch - i.e the one that has the yellow border round it to show it's the active image.
2     Select all the images, enter [my keyword] in the Add Keyword field when Keyword Controls is visible and press Shift + Enter - does the same thing as 1 above (removes it from the active image only).
3     Select all the images, Shift Click on the keyword that I have in my Keyword Controls in the Control Bar - does the same things as 1 above.
So all these methods, which are supposed to work, do not work for me. The removal of the keyword is only applied to the image that has the yellow border showing it to be the currently active image in the selected batch - the remaining selected imaged still retain the keyword. I can remove it "one at a a time" but it would be great if I could find a solution as to why this isn't working.
Any ideas?
If it helps, I'm running Aperture 3.1.3 in OS X 10.6.8.
thanks
Alan

Based on the frequency with which this trips up users, the Aperture team is going to have to add a much stronger visual indication that "Primary Only" is active. Marching ants, anyone? Or a pink selection marquee?
At least in the Viewer when multiple Images are selected the thin white selection marquee is dropped when Primary Only is active. There is no such change in the Browser.

How to automatically remove the wiki page's images from the Images library , when a wiki page is deleted

I have noted the following strange behavior inside my Publishing enterprise wiki site collection. Now by default when I create a new wiki page and I add Pictures to it, the pictures will be saved under the “Images” library and will be inside a unique folder
that have its name similar to the page name.
But when users delete the picture from the wiki page or they delete the whole wiki page, then the related folder inside the “Images” library will not be removed. So can anyone advice if there is a way to automatically remove the page’s pictures
folder from the Images library when the page is deleted? as currently i might end up having many pictures inside the Images library which are not linked to a wiki page, and they will waste my server desk space...

I think, not sure, there's no out-of-the-box solution in SharePoint for this problem. So I can only think of custom solution:
In event Receiver, ItemDeleting, you can delete images. The only downside is if some other pages are referring the images..... you need to check somehow which is quite time-consuming operations if you have thousand of pages in wiki library
A timer job, that will run periodically, every day or week, and clean all unused images.
Hide the default delete button and add your own. And then using your own custom layout page, show a 'configuration dialog' to user if they want to delete both page and images.
Thanks,
Sohel Rana

Please do not tell me this is not supported out of the ox ,,,,, i that i should handle this process by myself !!! and SharePoint does not support this feature .... this is another problem i should include in my list .....
