New Apple ID for new server?
I'm setting up a Mac Mini to act as a media server. My family all has iphones and a few Apple TVs that this mac will be streaming to. Should I use a new Apple ID for this server's iTunes account or use one of our existing Apple IDs?
Hello zakirfromlecco,
Certificate errors such as this can occur as a result of incorrect information in Settings -> General -> Date & Time, as Apple servers and your iPad disagreeing on what time it is can cause certificates to appear invalid (out of date).
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store

D-Link vs. Apple product for a server?
Greetings. Happy owner of a new Mac - actually, two. Family got a 20" iMac and MacBook to upgrade our other aging Macs.
I'm using our original D-Link router while waiting for kinks to be ironed out of the Time Capsule server before I buy that. I also took the Airport card out of our old iBook and put it in the old G4 Flat Panel.
Here's the deal: The router is situated in the center of the house. The iMac is about 15' away, the Flat Panel G4 is about 16' away, and the MacBook is a floater around the house.
The Flat Panel gets much better wireless reception - a full four bars on the thingy. The other two brand new computers have only three bar reception, and the Flat Panel is actually receiving the signal through a thicker wall.
What gives? I would think the much newer technology would be screaming fast and powerful. Would a new Mac base station - the Time Capsule or Airport Express - provide a stronger signal than the D-Link?
Thanks in advance,
CarlosYep, it's way out of date and newer routers can be set to specific frequencies in order to get rid of "noise makers" in the area. The noise comes from microwave ovens, some florescent lighting, electrical interference, other routers and probably a dozen other sources.
The newer routers have "boost" modes to help extend the range and quality of signals. In addition, if you can get all your equipment up to G speeds you will extend your range on the newer routers. They offer to transmit in B or G or both speeds. If you mix the speeds you cut down on the range significantly. Also, do you want to share files at 10 or 54 mb/s?
You didn't say what kind of broadband connection you are using, but if it's a cable modem you will have to disconnect the cable modem power (and sometimes the coax) before you plug in the router. Cable modems set themselves up to whatever device they first see and don't allow changing the equipment. Powering the modem down lets you reset the modem to see your new router. DSL modems from Telco's don't have this problem.
The good old G4 is very happy with a B speed router, it was designed for it, but your newer hardware is probably not responding as well as it could with a faster G or N speed router.
I like the Belkin routers for price and features. They have web browser based setup menu's, are easy to install firmware updates, they can back up their settings to your mac, and they seem to work well with iChat. I've put in a couple dozen of them in the last couple years, none have failed. Can't say the same for D-Link or Linksys (I've had several just die).
Of course, the Airport Base Stations are nice with their built-in print servers, and the new Time Capsule is very attractive for it's Time Machine ability and print server.
If I was starting fresh and had the bucks, I'd look real hard at a Time Capsule. -
New Server for 1:1 Deployment?
Could anyone give me some advice on what the best course of action is???
I have a Snow Leopard Server along with a collection of 100+ Bootcamped MBP using Snow Leopard & Win 7. We looking at deploying over 300+ iPad's but I know that at least 1 piece of software is not compatible with Mavericks Server. After watching several clips on YouTube and surfing Google, I like the idea of using Profile Manager and configurator to add to the existing small deployment of iPad's. Other (yearly subscription) MDM's would cost too much. For the size of my new deployment I now want to remotely manage the iPad's as there are not enough hours in the day to indivdually administer all the iPad's and carts I manage. I don't have the time to sit down and take apart my mac server to evaluate which apple & 3rd party admin software packages would still function (and how much it would cost to upgrade them otherwise) correctly with an upgrade to Mavericks server. We can't afford to take down one of our servers just so that I can mess around with it or test out a new server build in one of our busiest times of the year (for some of our users).
Could someone experienced with the new Mavericks server answer some of my concerns:
Would a second new dedicated mac mini server be capable of handling over 300 iPad's or would I be better asking my management for a bigger piece of kit?
Will I still need a mac with configurator to periodically update the iPad's with iOS upgrades, or does Profile Manager do this currently(or plan to in the future)?
ThanksAt the moment Profile Manager does not let you force an upgrade to a specific or latest iOS version. The only way to do this is to connect a device via USB to a Mac running Apple Configurator, you can have multiple devices connected via USB at the same time and do them in bulk.
Yes Profile Manager on a Mac mini can cope with 300+ iPads. -
New Server Advice for a Mac Beginner
Hi
Please be patient with a Mac beginner, I have long experience with M$ software, but a client has been gradually migrating their PCs to Macs and now the time has come for the Server to do so.
I have been handed an XServe G5 to build with OS X from scratch for the new network.
Essentially the server will be taking on very simple tasks.
1. Security for the Macs on the network
2. Email for the users - currently they use 3 domains but all users can use all of them for different sorts of contacts.
3. File services - divided into two primary areas.
4. Security groups to keep separate file stores accessible only to those allowed in each.
Coming from a Microsoft background, I find some of the terminology for setting this up a bit harder to understand than I expected and would appreciate a few pointers and being advised if there are any gotchas I should look out for.
I am currently building the server in my own lab where I only have PCs, other than the server. This would not be an issue, I suspect, except for the suggestion in the User Management Admin Guide that the process is ideally performed from another Mac wuth the Admin tools installed. Is this really necessary?
I am also finding some of the advice about sharepoints a little confusing. I know that this is based on Unix terminology, but the methods described in what I have read seem to assume far more background than I currently have in this OS - Perhaps I should have got some training in first, except that the time frame does not permit this.
So, if anyone can suggest step by step guides, pdfs or walkthroughs and any other tips I would be grateful.
Cheers
Neil
Xserve G5 Mac OS X (10.4.6)>This would not be an issue, I suspect, except for the suggestion in the User Management Admin Guide that the process is ideally performed from another Mac wuth the Admin tools installed. Is this really necessary?
Generally, the server doesn't need to have a video card, and it's often located in a remote location such as a server room where it's not the most comfortable place for a human to work.
Consequently all of Apple's tools are designed to operate just as well over a network. However, there's no functional difference between running Server Admin and Workgroup Manager on the server itself vs. on a remote Mac.
>I am also finding some of the advice about sharepoints a little confusing
Is there something specific you're trying to do that you're having problems with? In general the file sharing is straightforwards - use Workgroup Manager to identify the directories you want to share, and choose which protocol(s) it should be shared via. -
How do I create a new Apple ID for wife's new iPhone 6 Plus?
Our family has many Apple Devices (Mac Book Air, iMac, iPhone 6, iPad 3rd Gen. iPod 5th Gen. and as of today a new iPhone 6 Plus. All of our Devices have always been using one Apple ID. This has created zero issues until now. With my wife's new iPhone 6 Plus I downloaded Find Friends and also Find My iPhone. I can't find any way to set up her iPhone 6 Plus tied only to her email address and cell phone number. Whenever I open Find Friends on either device and select the appropriate email address it changes the other device to that email address for Find Friends. I am beginning to think that now with two iPhones we will need to get my wife her own Apple ID. When I went to Create an Apple ID using her email address it won't allow it because her email address is associated as an alternate under my Apple ID. Reading Apple Support documents it shows using a common Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases but a separate Apple ID for iCloud if desired. Bottom Line, I think I have to Delete her email address from My Apple ID Account so that I can use that email for her new Apple ID. When I delete her email address from My Apple ID Account isn't that going to impact our shared Apps and iTunes Purchases?

No, she can use the existing AppleID for purchasing and use her own new AppleID for content syncing. If you wish to, you can set up Family Sharing and add her to your iCloud family. That will enable you to share certain resources such as calendars.

I have 4 devices under my apple ID. 1 iPAD is used by my wife and has her own mail account setup. With family sharing, I would like to move that account to an Apple ID of her own and add her to the family list. How do I do that?
Hello Godde
Lets start with checking out the articles below for setting up Family Sharing and more information about Apple ID’s. I will say that you will not be able to transfer any purchases to a different Apple ID, but you can rename the Apple ID. If you want to use Family Sharing, then you will need to just create a new iCloud account and then follow the steps in the second article to start sharing content between you to.

my family all shares one apple ID for iTunes so we can share music. but I have my own apple ID for my phone and ipad. on my phone, I can have two separate IDs, but I'm wondering if its the same for my macbook pro. If i download the new OS, it asks for my apple ID. I would like to put in my personal one so that i can get texts and such. but I would want my iTunes to be my family account. is this possible?
You can use one account with iTunes on your Mac, and different account(s) with the Mac App Store (for buying/downloads apps or OS updates for your Mac), iCloud (System Preferences > iCloud) and Messages (Messages > Preferences, or command-comma)

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting iphone 5c this weekend. Currently our family has several apple devices and they have the same apple ID for itunes and it is the same ID that we use for icloud. I want to set up a separate icloud ID so that it is only on my new device. I still want to keep the same apple ID for purchases. Can I do this and better yet when do I do this...before the purchase, after the purchase and backing up of data. Where do I go to create a new one?
Figured it out. Thanks.

New Apple battery for macbook only lasting half as long as my old battery.
I'm having a bit of trouble here. Last month a family member needed to leave on an emergency trip but was having battery problems and didn't have time to get a new battery before catching her flight, so I gave her mine and a day or two later went to the apple store and bought a new OEM apple battery for myself. I believe that the old battery had around 80-90% left in its life and performance from the way it would act. Unfortunately this new battery would not interface with the computer at first. I followed the apple page battery troubleshooting recommendations and ended up resetting my power service manager (sorry if I'm butchering the name here) by removing the power sources and holding the power button for 5 seconds. It fixed the interface problems and the computer now recognizes the battery just fine. However, the battery life on this new battery is pretty poor. I only get about 60 minutes of youtube video watching out of it before its done (no other applications running), or about 100 minutes of general non-streaming use. My old battery was at least double this, if not more. Does anyone have any ideas where I should look next? Here is some battery information that might help:
Model Information:
Manufacturer: DP
Device name: ASMB016
Pack Lot Code: 0002
PCB Lot Code: 0000
Firmware Version: 0110
Hardware Revision: 0500
Cell Revision: 0200
Charge Information:
Charge remaining (mAh): 626
Fully charged: No
Charging: No
Full charge capacity (mAh): 4935
Health Information:
Cycle count: 9
Condition: Normal
Battery Installed: Yes
Amperage (mA): -1437
Voltage (mV): 10860
Many thanks if anyone has an idea what I should do to help fix this. My Macbook has been great other than this one issue.Have you tried calibrating your battery?

New server and/or CA certificate for connection from custom authentication
We are running Access Manager version 72005Q4 in the Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP5 B06/23/2005 container with java build 1.5.0_07-b03. I run a custom authentication module which checks sessions against our university single sign on system which is CAS (from Yale/Jasig). The checks are essentially https calls. All this has been working well for us for the last couple of years.
I would like to migrate the certificate used on the university CAS system from a Verisign certificate to a wildcard certificate issued by the IPS CA in spain -- these are in most browsers but are not in the standard batch of cacerts CA's -- and are free for .edu domains.
My other java based authentication plugins (Blackboard, custom apps etc) have worked fine once I import the certificate into the cacerts for the java container, but I'm missing something (obvious probably) about importing this certificate so that my amserver custom authentication module can connect to the CAS server once the CAS server is using the new certificate.
Could anyone provide guidance on where I need to import this server certificate (or preferably the IPS CA) in order to allow the custom authentication module to work properly? I assume this same problem has been solved by people wishing to connect from the amserver to services with self signed certificates. For some reason I'm finding the debugging unexpectedly difficult, I'll outline some of those details below.
Relevant things I've tried so far:
Import both the server cert and the IPS CA into the cacerts of the java container identified in the web server server.xml /usr/jdk/entsys-j2se.
Import the IPS CA into the web server cert8 style db via the web admin server.
The debugging has surprised me a bit, as I'm not getting an error that is explicitly SSL related error. It almost seems like the URLConnection object ends up using a HttpURLConnection rather than an HttpsURLConnection and never gives me a cert error, rather a connection refused since there is no non SSL service running on CAS. The same code pointed to the server running the verisign cert works as expected.

The relevent bit of code from the SecureURL.retrieve looks as follows:
URL u = new URL(url);
if (!u.getProtocol().equals("https"))
throw new IOException("only 'https' URLs are valid for this method");
URLConnection uc = u.openConnection();
uc.setRequestProperty("Connection", "close");
r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(uc.getInputStream()));
String line;
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
while ((line = r.readLine()) != null)
buf.append(line + "\n");
return buf.toString();
} finally { ...
The fact that this same code in other authentication modules running outside the amserver (in other web containers as well, tomcat and resin for example) running java 1.5 works fine with the new CA, as well as with self signed certs that I've imported into the appropriate cacerts file leads me to believe that I'm either importing the certificate into the wrong store, or that there is some additional step needed for the amserver in the Sun Web container.
Thank you very much for any insights and help,
EthanI thought since this has had a fair number of views I would give an update.
I have been able to confirm that the custom authentication module is using the cert8 db defined in the AMConfig property com.iplanet.am.admin.cli.certdb.dir as documented. I do seem to have a problem using the certificate to make outgoing connections, even though the certificate verifies correctly for use as a server certificate. This is likely a question for a different forum, but just to show what I'm looking at:
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u V
certutil: certificate is valid
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
certutil: certificate is invalid: Certificate type not approved for application.
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -M -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -t uP,uP,uP
root@jbc1 providers#/usr/sfw/bin/certutil -V -l -n "FSU Wildcard Certificate" -d /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias -P https-jbc1.ucs.fsu.edu-jbc1- -u C
FSU Wildcard Certificate : Certificate type not approved for application.
So it could be that I don't understand how to use the certutiil to get the permissions I want, or it could be that using the same certificate for both server and client functions is not supported -- though you can see why this would be a common case with wildcard certificates.
BTW for those interested, it did seem to be the case that when the certificate failure occurred that the attempt was then made by the URLConnection to bind to port 80 in cleartext even though the URL was clearly https. I'm sure this was just an attempt to help out misformed URL, but it seemed that the URLConnection implementation in the amserver would swapped traffic over cleartext if that port had been open on the server I was making the https connection to; that seems dangerous to me, I would not have wanted it to quietly work that way exposing sensitive information to the network.
This was why I was getting back a connection refused instead of a certificate exception. The URLConnection implementation used by the amserver is defined by java.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.iplanet.services.comm argument passwd to the JVM, and I imagine this is done because the amserver pre-dates the inclusion of the sun.net.www.protocol handlers, but I don't know, there maybe reasons why the amserver wants it own handler. I only noticed that this is what was going on when I as casting the httpsURLConnection objects to other types trying to diagnose the certificate problem. I would be interested in hearing if anyone knows if there is a reason not to use sun.net.www.protocol with the amserver.
After switching to the sun.net.www.protocol handler I was able to get my certificate errors rather than the "Connection Refused" which is what lead me to the above questions about certutil. -
Problem with the new server UCS C220 for set IP to CIMC
Hi
We’ve a problem with the new server UCS C220.
We bought two servers UCS C220 M3 for CallManager 8.6 with High Availability.
When we turn on the server during the boot and when it tells us, oppress F8 to enter at the CIMC and set the IP. But it never enters at the CIMC.
Then, we configure our DHCP server and our switch, we connect the three gigabyte ports to our switch to give him an IP to the CIMC, so and then can enter via browser, but neither works.
Note. The dedicated management NIC does not link, the other two ports do make link.
What do you suggest to put an IP to CIMC and start installing our applications?
regardsYou may have noticed that there is no DVD rom on the c220. What you need to do is:
Login into the CIMC from your browser
Luanch the KVM
Insert the VMware DVD in your machines drive
On the KVM pop up there should be a tab to mount the drive, after mounting it click on Macros and choose ctrl_alt+delete to restart.
After the VMware OS installs press F2 to enter IP.
Browse to the VMware ip to download the Vsphere client
Open the Vsphere client, enter the ip of the vmware and the username will be root and no password if you did not set one.
You can now upload OVA templates or manually create virtua machine from this enviroment.
Hope this help -
I created a new apple id for my iphone and ipad which work great and allow me to access Icloud. on my macbook air I can't get it to use my new apple id for icloud.

I changed my apple id but the applie id for icloud did not change on my mac in system preferences.
I have changed my apple id on system preferences under users and groups but the icloud preferences don't pick up the change.
I restarted my computer, and still no change.
I have been using icloud under my old apple id for mail calendars and notes.
How do I get icloud account information to change on my mac's system preferences and match my new apple id?
I am missing something.
Please help. Thanks.Thank you Roger, your solution gave me the courage to sign out of Systems Preferences. The pop up told me it was going to delete my contact and other information from my mac, so I was hesitant to do that. Well I did as you directed and I was able to sign in with my new apple id and I did not lose the information the pop up threatened I was going to. So again thank you. It is the little things that make a big difference sometimes.

Hi, I'm currently using iPhone 4 and iPad 2 with the same Apple ID, now I want to change my iPad 2's Apple ID to a new one so that it can be seperated from my iPhone 4's Apple ID. However, when I tried to change my iPad 2's Apple ID, my iPhone 4's Apple ID also changed. But I want to maintain the same old Apple ID for my iPhone 4 and try to change the iPad 2's Apple ID to a new one so that I can get it to my kid to use it. I would be most grateful if anyone in this forum can advice me on how to change my iPad 2's Apple ID and I can still maintain the old Apple ID for my iPhone 4? Thanks a lot in advance.
Apple ID's are not device specific, so when you changed it on the iPad 2 it changed it on the iPhone 4 as well, since it's the same account still. What you need to do is create a second Apple ID (so you'll have two accounts, one for iPhone 4 and a seperate one for iPad 2).
To create a new Apple ID on your iPad 2:
1) Go into Settings > Store.
2) If you are already signed in, tap your Apple ID on the screen and you will be given a few options, one of which is to sign out of your account.
3) After you sign out, now click the "Sign in" button.
4) Tap "Create New Apple ID" and follow the instructions on-screen.
