Setting up MS Exchange on Snow Leopard

Hey everybody,
I'm currently having to use two computers at work which is insane. I'm using the Vista PC they gave me for company email and company calendar, and using my personal MBP for everything else. I've tried for endless hours to get my work emails and calendars to work with my mac's mail + calendar apps but no joy whatsoever. I blame this largely on the fact that I've got no idea how to use a PC anymore.
- Is there a dummy step by step guide anywhere for getting this all up and running?
I don't know what options to select when setting up mail + cal on my mac or what to type in each of the boxes (e.g. incoming mail server). But on the plus side, I've got a PC next to me which surely has all of this info in there somewhere that I can copy?
Thanks in advance everybody x

You'll need to get the appropriate server information from your PC or your network administrators, if Mail can't detect the server automatically.
Regards.

  • Attachments, Exchange accts, Snow Leopard, and beachballs

    Hello all...
    I have two separate clients who are both experiencing the same issue. When they attempt to attach files to an email using an Exchange acct, periodically and seemingly with no pattern at all, Mail will become unresponsive...totally beachballed. Mail can be force quit and relaunched, and everything is fine. Once done, the very same email with the very same attachment will send just fine. Then 10 or 15 more attachments will work without incident. Then, another beachball.
    The failure doesn't occur at the time of send, though. It occurs the moment you attach the file. Click the Attach button, click the file to attach, press the Attach File button in that dialog, and bang...beachball.
    Its so random, I can't get a handle on whats in common, other than Both clients are using Exchange and Snow Leopard (both on 10.6.1 fully updated).
    I'm lost. Has anyone else seen this?
    Thanks!

    You can use IMAP or POP for mail if they are enabled on Exchange 2003. You would set them up as IMAP or POP accounts, though, not as Exchange accounts.
    And Address Book you would have to configure to access AD as an LDAP server.
    It's more complicated, and less functional.

  • Setting up icloud mail on snow leopard - what are the settings?

    I have converted my mobileme account to iCloud - but due to the hardware on my desktop must remain with Snow Leopard.  How do I set up the mail application to use my new iCloud email account.

    To properly set up iCloud mail on Snow Leopard 10.6.8 (Which is not supported).  You can do the following steps to manually set  up the account. (TRIED & TESTED)  ***Please know this may not work on all Macs running 10.6.8.
    If you have moved your MobileMe account to iCloud or have a straight iCloud account here are the steps for mail  There are no work arounds for Calendars, Bookmarks, or Contacts.
    There are 15 Steps total.
    If you are adding the account from mail preferences you will need these steps.
    Remove their previous account (after making sure anything important is backed up).
    Open the Mail application (On the desktop.  Looks like a Stamp w/Eagle) up on the Mac.
    Once you are there, click on "Mail" from the top menu bar and go to "Preference".
    Then go to "Accounts".
    Let me know once you are there. Do you see your MobileMe account on the left pane?
    Click on your MobileMe / iCloud account and then the to delete it.
    Then click the ( + ) sign:
    1) In the Add Account pane, enter in the full iCloud email address and password
    2) DONOT click 'Create' or it will try to automatically set up the account. Hold down Option and the 'Create' button will switch to 'Continue'. Click Continue
    3) For Account Type, change the drop down menu to IMAP

  • Need to sync only address book with exchange 2003 - Snow Leopard

    Hey everybody!
    M very new to troubleshooting MAC. M a network engineer and have an employee who recently got a new MAC with snow leopard OS.
    The problem is he would like ONLY his address book to sync with our Exchange 2003 to he could pull out the contacts from LDAP.
    Have spent few hours and found out about DavMail from this forum.
    But is there any other way to do this which I've not come across, basically a MAC or Microsoft way or application?

    icloud can be turned on or off or the whole account can be deleted. You manage that all in iOS5 , under "Settings" -> "icloud".
    Wifi Sync must be turned on both in iOS and on Itunes 10.5* on the Mac' settings :
    in iOS : "settings" -"general"-"itunes wlan sync"
    * In Lion and itunes 10.5 there is the option, don't know about Snow.

  • Setting up Time Machine with Snow Leopard and MyBook World Edition II NAS

    I have just successfully set up Time Machine on my MyBook World Edition II NAS. It's not so straightforward, and the information on the Western Digital support site is either unhelpful or flat-out wrong, so here's a post that will hopefully save people in a similar position a lot of time and frustration.
    Here are the key facts:
    1. The MyBook World Edition II NAS does support Time Machine -- if you upgrade to at least firmware Release 1.01.14 (9/29/09). See http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/?family=mbworld. Amazingly, the Level I support people at Western Digital told me that Time Machine is not supported! I had to point him to this link.
    2. MyBook World Edition II comes with a built-in user, WD_Backup, which appears to be the only user that can be used for the backup.
    3. Follow the instructions here: http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/updates/docs/en/appletimemachine.pdf. BUT, what the instructions don't tell you is the password for that user, which Mac OS will ask you for during the Time Machine setup. On my device, it was "admin" but other posts say the password can be "backup" or "wd_backup."
    4. Ignore some of the misleading statements in the Western Digital "knowledge base." For example, it says Time Machine is not supported. That used to be true but with the firmware update, is no longer true. Also, some instructions direct you to make a partition on your drive for Time Machine using Disk Utility. This is not possible, as far as I can tell, because the MyBook World Edition II shows up as a "share," not a "device" in the system, and therefore Disk Utility does not see it.
    5. The reason I wanted to set up a partition, where I could limit the disk space, is that I read that Time Machine creates daily backups, with incremental versions of documents. Thus, the Time Machine backup will eventually fill up whatever space is given to it. Since I could not partition the MyBook World Edition II, what I did instead was to enable the "Quota" functionality and then put a disk quota on the WD_Backup user. I hope this will do the trick. (I have the further issue of having two Time Machine backups, one for me, one for my wife. How our Time Machines will battle it out for the disk space, I have no idea.)
    I hope that the Western Digital people will create greater flexibility for Time Machine users in future firmware updates.
    Anyway, hope this helped.

    You do need to know that Apple may not support this: Here's the official word: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1733 (Leopard) or http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html (Snow Leopard).
    You may be able to get it to work successfully, but there's no guarantee it will work well, or in the future.
    From a post in another forum (found by V.K.):
    The technical reason why Apple limits Time Machine to 10.5 AFP volumes appears to be to prevent disk image corruption. There were additional features added to AFP in 10.5 to support Time Machine. These presumably allow the disk image engine to force disk image journal data to write out all the way to the disk. Without such features, a network interruption can result in a corrupted filesystem on the disk image despite journaling. Remember, journaling relies on the journal being written all the way to disk before the changes take place. If you can't guarantee that (e.g., because of network/NAS buffering) then the journal is useless. Time Machine appears to rely heavily on disk journaling to deal with network drop-outs, interrupted backups, and the like. Take this away and your data is at risk.
    If the NAS you are using supports these features it should report them to the OS and you should natively be able to choose that volume. If you have to trick the OS to use the volume it means the NAS does not support it.
    To summarize: if you care about your backup data you should avoid using non-natively supported AFP servers.
    That post obviously applies to Leopard; Snow Leopard appears to have added some requirements, that are also not supported by all NAS devices: some that were working with Leopard no longer work with Snow Leopard.
    As long as you understand the risks, it's your call. But do yourself a favor and maintain some sort of secondary backup, such as a "clone" via CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, or some other backup app. (Many of us do that with any backup app: no app is perfect, and all hardware fails, sooner or later.)

  • How to set up file sharing in Snow Leopard Server?

    Apple had SLS for just about free when I needed SL, regular SL not yet then, so I grabbed it. I have been using it for quite some time for legacy applications and never needed to move files to that machine over the network. Tonight I needed to and noticed I could only do screen sharing. I went the control panel and there is no settings to do it. Can anyone tell me how to "turn it on". Can it be?
    Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    Open the Server Admin program (in the dock if nowhere else). It's there.

  • Exchange 2003 support dropped in Snow Leopard Address Book?

    It appears to me that the Exchange 2003 support that existed in Address Book in Leopard has vaporized in Snow Leopard. Is this true? I know the Mail/iCal stuff requires Exchange 2007, but the old Address Book worked great with Exchange 2003.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks

    unfortunately it looks that way!

  • Running Lion; can snow leopard be set up with bootcamp?

    I have several programs that won't run in Lion on my MacBook Pro. 
    Will bootcamp allow me to partition part of disc to run snow leopard which will run my programs?
    Thanks
    rjchemdoc

    There is no need to set up bootcamp to install
    Snow Leopard.  Simply create a partiton on your
    hard drive the size that you wish using Disk Utility
    and then use your Snow Leopard disks to intall
    in that partition.
    Make sure you have backup of your stuff in Lion.
    Even though adding a partiton should be non-destructive
    things can go wrong.

  • How can I upgrade from Tiger to Snow Leopard wihout violating EULA while Mac Box Set is no longer available?

    I use my original Tiger bought with MacBook Pro. But now so many applications do not support Tiger, so I decided to upgrade to SL.
    But required by Apple way to do this with Mac Box Set seems to be impossible. Mac Box Set is no longer available from Apple.
    Is upgrading using Snow Leopard disc, which is still in Apple Store, ok?
    I will be gratefull for help.

    The Mac Box Set includes Mac OS X Snow Leopard, iLife ’09 and iWork ’09. If you just use the SL installer, you don't get the additional apps.
    Read this article.

  • I transferred files from a NAS server to the Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server and now some of the files have Custom Access and can't  be opened by some users.  How do I fix this?

    We're setting up our Mac Mini Snow Leopard Server, and in the process transferred files that had been stored and accessed from our Blackarmor NAS server over to the Mac.  These files were all created on PC's and are Office Excel files, WordPerfect files or PDF's.  When you look at the files on the Mac from the Mac and bring up Get Info for the affected file, it says that the file has Custom Access.  The files that work properly don't have that configuration.  I can access and open the files on some computers, but some users can't open the files from their computer even though they can see it.  We're all using PC's and they get the Error:  Access Denied-Contact your administrator--or something similar.  I've seen on the web similar issues and it may have something to do with ACL permissions.  I don't know enough about Mac OS to understand this, but what is baffling is that they can be opened from some PC's but not others, and all of the Users have the same accessibility to the files.  Thanks for a solution!!

  • How do I tweak Snow Leopard (Finder & Safari) to make it behave more like Tiger?

    I've recently upgraded to a Mac Pro 4,1 from a Power Mac G4, and to Mac OS X 10.6.8 from 10.4.11 in the process.
    There are a few little ways in which Snow Leopard behaves differently to Tiger, and I'm wondering if (for each item on the list below) anyone has any suggestions on how I can make things behave as I'd like, rather than as they do.
    While I'm at it, I've included a couple of things that never behaved as I'd like in Tiger either, but which may also be alterable.
    I'd prefer, if possible, solutions that result from simple changes in settings, or perhaps "sudo" commands entered into Terminal, rather than having to install third party software.
    Also, I'd appreciate those that choose to reply refrain from suggesting I upgrade to Lion or Mountain Lion. These aren't options I can consider at the moment.
    1. In the Finder, clicking Go -> Recent Folders gives the 10 most recently opened folders. Is there a way to change this number?
    There isn't an option to do this in the "Appearance" preference pane, where "Number of recent items" can be set for "Applications", "Documents" and "Servers". There's also no option to alter the number of "Recent Folders" in any other preference pane that I can see. I've posted a similar list of questions over at the Macrumors forums, where the one reply I've had so far suggested I use the "General" preference pane, however I don't have one of these. I think "General" was possibly a pane in a much earlier version of Mac OS X?
    2. In the Finder, folders on the desktop often don't deselect the way they always did in Tiger. For example, if I double click a folder to open it, the folder's icon highlights. The folder often doesn't deselect / unhighlight though when I then click on the desktop or elsewhere. It often takes 2 or 3 additional clicks for the icon to deselect. Is this a known bug, and can it be fixed? The reply in the Macrumors forum says "It's a known bug, it's even worse in Mountain Lion.".
    3. In the Finder, under Preferences, I have "Always open folders in a new window" checked, as I prefer. Often though, I like to hold down the "alt" key when double clicking on a folder to open it, so that the enclosing folder closes at the same time as the folder I'm double clicking on opens, thereby overriding the preference I've set.
    In Tiger, the newly opening folder would always open at its previously set size & position. In Snow Leopard though, using the "alt" key causes the newly opening folder to open at the size & position of its enclosing folder instead, not at its previously set size & position.
    Worse, the folder then seems to "remember" this incorrect size & position which it takes from its enclosing folder, wiping out its previous (correct) size & position. Is there any way to make things behave like they did in Tiger?
    The reply in the Macrumors forum suggested I try "alt - command", but this makes things behave identically to "alt" on its own, as does using "command" on its own.
    Only when I don't use any modifier key does the opening window open at its correct size & position, but then without any modifier, the enclosing window remains open (as per my Finder preference selection), and its this preference that I often want to override, but with the newly opening window's correct size & position being maintained.
    4. In Safari (version 4.1.3) under Tiger, the "Command-`" keyboard shortcut (that's Command and the key to the left of the "z" key) cycles through each open Safari window in turn, before returning to the original window.
    However in Safari (version 5.1.7) on Snow Leopard, this keyboard shortcut seems to work very erratically. For example if I have, say, 8 windows open, the shortcut might only rotate through the 2 or 3 frontmost windows over & over again, rather than through all 8 in order. It might take 5 or 6 cycles of attempts before the rest of the windows appear at the front of the stack. This fault seems to be intermittent though. Is this a known bug, and can it be fixed?
    5. When I press "Command-f" in the Finder, a search window opens. I'm having 2 problems with the search window.
    Firstly, directly below the field where the search term is to be typed, is the word "Search:" with a row of only 2 buttons to the right. The first is labelled "This Mac" and the second is labelled with the name of the folder that I have set the "New Finder windows open:" preference to in Finder Preferences.
    I can't find any way of adding any further locations to this row of only 2 buttons. For example, "Macintosh HD" is in my sidebar, but I can't drag it to the row of buttons to create a new "Macintosh HD" button, nor can I find any other way to make the search only look in specific places (such as only on the "Macintosh HD" disk). I'm stuck with either "This Mac" or with the folder that I've set the "New Finder windows open:" preference to.
    How can I select where I want a search to take place? I could do this in Tiger with a couple of mouse clicks.
    Secondly, to the right of the 2 search location buttons is a small vertical bar, and then 2 further buttons, labelled "Contents" and "File Name". The "Contents" button is always selected by default. How can I make the "File Name" button the default rather than the "Contents" button?
    Many thanks in advance for any input anyone has.

    AFAIK, there's no default setting to change that. Take a look at defaults for Finder.
    2. In the Finder, folders on the desktop often don't deselect the way they always did in Tiger. For example, if I double click a folder to open it, the folder's icon highlights.

    AFAIK, that's normal behavior. The folder opens and gets focus. To return to the Desktop requires a click to gain focus and the click the Desktop to deselect anything previously selected.
    3. In the Finder, under Preferences, I have "Always open folders in a new window" checked, as I prefer. Often though, I like to hold down the "alt" key when double clicking on a folder to open it, so that the enclosing folder closes at the same time as the folder I'm double clicking on opens, thereby overriding the preference I've set.
    Still works that way here in SL.
    In Tiger, the newly opening folder would always open at its previously set size & position. In Snow Leopard though, using the "alt" key causes the newly opening folder to open at the size & position of its enclosing folder instead, not at its previously set size & position.

    Nope. You're in the minority, so Apple changed it, since more wanted it that way than the old Tiger way.
    4. In Safari (version 4.1.3) under Tiger, the "Command-`" keyboard shortcut (that's Command and the key to the left of the "z" key) cycles through each open Safari window in turn, before returning to the original window.
    Can't help, since I normally only use one window and many tabs. Also, I don't see that shortcut. Enable the Debug menu option and peruse Debug->Keyboard & Mouse Shortcuts.
    5. When I press "Command-f" in the Finder, a search window opens. I'm having 2 problems with the search window.

    Not possible. Apple's crippled Spotlight as it's brought the OSs forward. Best is to start your search in the folder you want to search. See Snow Leopard's wrong changes, for starters.
    Secondly, to the right of the 2 search location buttons is a small vertical bar, and then 2 further buttons, labelled "Contents" and "File Name". The "Contents" button is always selected by default. How can I make the "File Name" button the default rather than the "Contents" button?
    Use CMD+SHIFT+F. Ultimately, I strongly suggest creating a savedSearch with your desired criteria and use it, bypassing CMD+spacebar and CMD+F. This is what I use:

    this has been oft asked and answered. you can buy a Macbox set which will give you snow leopard, ilife and and iwork. or you can buy a $29 standalong snow leoaprd dvd although there is a big disagreement on the board whether using it to go from tiger to snow leopard directly violates ULA (I think it does). but the actual disk is the same as in the macbox set and either one will upgrade you to SL.
