Osx maverick and osx server

I  have update my software to osx maverick, when i was reading the support web page i understood it to say that i have to update osx server as well.
is that right. I'm slightly confused first time mac use.

If you were using the OSX Server before, yes, you do have to update it by buying it at the App Store. If you were not using the server, you don't need it for Mavericks to run.

  • Server File Sharing unstable on mac and windows network on Mavericks and OSX Server 3.0

    Since I've updated our mac mini server from Mountain Lion and OSX Server 2.X to Mavericks and OSX Server 3.0  we are having sharing issues with Windows (7 and 8) and OSX Mavericks users, not being able to access files on the mac mini server.
    What I've notice is that OSX Serer 3.0 stop working and I have to restart the Mac Mini Server to make things start working again.
    This was not happening with Mountain Lion and OSX Server 2.X.
    On the Windows and OSX users what happen is the computers keep trying to connect to the server and are not being able to open or copy files. Again this is intermittent, and I suspect it might be a OSX Server bug.
    Any one having the same problem or can give us and advice would be great help.
    Thanks.

    I too am having this exact problem as well as a few of my network administrator contacts that have gone through the Mavericks / Server 3 upgrade.
    It may be worth noting that before the upgrade I had run a mac mini server (core 2 duo) that never had any unintentional downtime, and the current mac server had never gone down or lost connection so I know it has nothing to do with user or network configuration.  
    NAS server hardware:
    - Mac Mini core i5
    - 16 GiB ram
    -  Promise Pegasus Raid5 external drive (thunderbolt)
    I am NOT running time machine as the backup.
    Everyting posted above is occuring although the rate at which my users lose acces is sporadic.  Sometimes the server will stay up 24-36 hours and sometimes it will only stay up for around 4.  Every user, every group loses acces AT THE EXACT SAME TIME EVERYTIME to EVERY SHAREPOINT...all of my local users as well as my remote users.  All of my users are on Windows machines (mostly win7, but a couple of XP and 8 users as well).  The share is accessed via a mapped drive using the format x.x.x.x/share and I have had 0 issues with getting users connected.  The problem is 100% keeping them connected.  When the users lose access the get the "drive cannot be accessed" error on their end, however when I check the server 3 app, it still shows all users connected and I have let it run for a few minutes and the idle times do change. 
    I also cannot see any spikes in the Activity monitor that might indicate a memory strain issue on the server side, but I assume that is because I am not watching the Activity Monitor at the moment everyone loses access.
    Let me say that the SMB2 protocol does work much better when it actually works, much faster, but intermitent connectivity is a VERY SERIOUS ISSUE and has resulted in several corrupt files for my workers already.  Also, because I was one of the unfortunate people that had the upgrade lock up on me and I had to restart it, I lost my 10.8.x recover backup and so I would have to do a clean install in order to restore my server back to its original state. I am also hesitant to do this because I would most likely only be able to download the Server3 app from the app store and I have not heard from apple or any other power user group on whether the bug is with the app or the OS. 

  • ICal on OSX Mavericks and iOS 7

    I have upgraded my MacBookPro to OSX Mavericks and my iCal calendars no more syncronize between my iPhone iOS7 and the Mac.
    Where do I set up how the calendars are being syncronized, on the iPhone or on the Mac ? I'm confused...

    Sorry to tell you both that there are so far no easy answers.
    I am like you not a Mac expert and so far even the experts have not been any help.
    You could try joining the discussion at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5460803 but be aware that there are some unhelpful people throwing insults around at each other.
    If you want to try the OS X Server option  http://www.macworld.com/article/2061183/itunes-ios-syncing-gone-solve-it-with-se rver-.html is a good explanation of how to implement this. I've not tried it because I have read that even that solution presents a few problems, such as not reproducing old calendars.
    As things stand my best advice, for what is worth is to send feedback to Apple

    Hello, Im new to this website. Im having issues with my Macbook. I have the old 2009 model Macbook and it is our schools macbook. The school just upgraded these MacBooks to OSX Mavericks and when i try to open Minecraft it won't let me. It says no jdk installed. I also try to install Java SE runtime but half way through the Software Update it says cant download software because of network problem but I'm connected to the internet and i can browse stuff just fine. Can any one help with my problems. P.S. I don't know the administrator password or stuff like that. And yes we are allowed to play games and stuff on these laptops but only at home not at school so don't tell me i need to focus on school and not games. 

    Since you updated the operating system, it is probably Minecraft is missing certain files that ware remove or are not longer comparable with the new version of the OSX. what I recommend, is to check is there is an update for Minecraft and install that. If there is not update available, probably the best thing will be reinstalling Minecraft. Hope this will help you.

    OSX Maverick and Adobe CS6 compatibilty
    Any issues to note?

    When you upgrade to 10.9 it installs the Java 7 JRE but there is no JRE6, so you HAVE TO download it from Apple before ANY CS5 or CS6 app will open. Other than that I haven't seen ANY issues with CS5.5 or CS6 in Audition, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, Flash, InDesign, Premiere, Photoshop, PSE9 or Lightroom 5.

  • I downloaded OsX mavericks and it doesn't want to instal.

    i downloaded OsX mavericks and when i came to instal it a message appeared 'close all applications to instal'. i clicked on it several times, waited, and nothing happened. Then i clicked 'quit instal', the downloaded Os X mavericks disappeared and i'm downloading again. Did anyone face the same problem? Any idea what to do if it doesn't instal again?

    Hi daddyh,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The "Install OS X Mavericks" application will appear in your Applications folder once it is downloaded.
    Check the Applications folder to see if it is there, or do a Spotlight search for this file.
    Double click on the Installer file to begin the installation.
    The file will be removed once Mavericks has been installed.

  • I just downloaded OSX maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending emails.  How can I go back to old drag groups or addresses to the box?

    I just downloaded OSX Maverick and now I cannot drag addresses from my contacts to the "To" box when sending email.  How can I get back to dragging groups or individual contacts to emails?

    Starting to type a name and getting a list of matches is good but it's not a substitute for being able to choose twenty or thirty names from your address book and dragging them into the "To" field. Of course many contacts can be put into a group but I may want to send occasional emails to many people who don't fit any group, and there may be no need to create a group just for that email.
    If you agree please send an email to apple feedback for Maverick OS X.

    Gestures is not working like it did before. The side to side, forward back swipe, is very picky. Sometimes it takes four or five tries before it works. And yes I know how to do it. I have had a magic trackpad for about one year. And was greatly pleased by how it worked, BEFORE Mavericks. It has has indeed changed.
