Snow Leopard Server iCal push not working on iMac clients

Hello,
I have a new installed mac mini snow leopard server and updated osx with all the latest updates.
I am running the iCal server and the Push service and everything seems to run OK.
I have 4 brand new iMac clients which share calendars between the different users,but the iCal Push function doesn't work at all. Even when I change the update method in the iCal client to interval of 1 minute, it doensn't update.
The only way the calendar updates is to choose "Refresh" from the Calendar menu in iCal client.
The push function for the mail clients do work which is strange.
I already tried the following actions:
1. I have stopped and restarted the Push-service on the server
2. I have removed the push server settings in the iCal server settings on the server and added them again
3. I followed the iCal log file to see if an action of a client is immediatly visible on the server = OK
4. I've updated all the clients to the newest software
5. I have restarted the server completely
Does anybody have tips or advise to help me looking to find the cause of the iCal Push problems?

  • Downgrade using Snow Leopard install DVD does not work on iMac 27"

    I have an iMac 27" (SMC version 1.54f36) that I wish to downgrade. I bought a 5-user Snow Leopard license. Now I'm trying to re-install from the DVD, but the computer won't boot on the DVD.
    If I run the installer from the desktop, the installation starts, but when the computer reboots, it gets stuck. No alterations is done on the system disk, so I can hold down the Alt key and choose to boot from the system disk and I'm still on 10.6.5. For the moment I cannot find the discs supplied with the iMac, but surely the SL install DVD should work?? I've used it once before to do a clean SL install (I believe the iMac I have came with Leopard).
    The version on the SL install DVD is 10.6 (2Z691-6558-A)
    The reason for downgrading is that my Pro Apps (DVDSP and FCP) got a bit shaky when I updated to 10.6.5.

    If you have a 27" iMac, it had to ship with Snow Leopard installed. See Mac OS X versions (builds) included with Intel-based Macs to confirm this, & Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac for why you should not try to downgrade to an earlier version.
    If the version on your SL install DVD is 10.6, then it is an early version & will not work with your iMac. The current retail product version installs 10.6.4 & should work if your iMac is the "Late 2009" model. It probably will not work if your iMac is the "Mid 2010" model.
    You need your grey system discs. They should be kept accessible wherever you use your iMac. If you have lost them, contact Apple about getting a replacement set.

  • Snow Leopard Server - iCal

    Trying to set up the iCal server within Snow Leopard Server and we are not able to:
    1. Assign users to a resource.
    2. See any of the resources via the web.
    Would like to know where we can find a step by step on server and iCal server. Thanks! M

  • Does Snow Leopard Server iCal Service support iCal Groups?

    I have successfully configured iCal Service on Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8v1.1 and have several client Mac system (runing SL 10.6.8v1.1) connected to this service via CalDAV. I can create new calendars and those calendars and any test events propigate to all machines that have this CalDAV account configured. But whenever I try to create a calendar group it always appears as a local calendar group. Is this a feature missing when using iCal Server and CalDAV? Am I doing something wrong?
    Thanks

  • Upgrade to Snow Leopard.. external HD not working?

    Hello Everyone, I'm hoping to get some help here so that I don't have to make a trip to the Genius Bar to figure out what is going on. I have a late 2009 edition MacBook Pro (2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo, 4 GB, 250 GB HD). I finally decided to install Snow Leopard today using the drop in DVD that the store provided me with when I bought the notebook in the summer of 2009 (never felt like taking the time to do the upgrade till today). Well, now that the upgrade is done, I can no longer use my Iomega UltraMax 500 GB external hard drive that I use to backup data with using Time Machine. Every time I plug it in, it shows up for a split second and then I get the red alert box telling me that I did not eject it properly. At first, I panicked that the drive is corrupt, but I plugged it into my old PowerBook that I have sitting around and it works perfectly fine. I can open all the files and everything!
    I hope someone here can help me troubleshoot what is going on. Could Snow Leopard have screwed with my USB ports or something?
    Thank you in advance!

    After this happens, have you tried disconnecting the drive and immediately connecting a different USB device (perhaps a flash drive) to the same port the Iomega drive was using, just to see whether the port is still active or has shut down? The behavior sounds like what one would see if the drive were drawing too much power from the USB port, causing the port to shut down. But ordinarily there is an error message that accompanies the shutdown and explains that it's because of a device drawing too much power. And of course your drive shouldn't be drawing power from the port at all unless its AC power supply is failing — but if its power supply were bad, it wouldn't work with your Powerbook.
    It's an odd and puzzling problem, and I have no explanation for it.

  • Snow Leopard with Exchange support not working

    I tried out the new mail with exchange support (I use Microsoft Outlook at work). I tried to set up my account the same way with my iPhone, but it did not work . . . (I can get my work email to my iphone with the same account set up).
    I know I'm not giving a lot of information here, but any ideas what the problem might be?
    Thanks!
    Lindsay

    I just posted this elsewhere:
    For those of you that have iPhones that have been successfully using exchange for any period of time - don't expect mail.app to work for you!. Although there are improvements in exchange support, SL still does not support RPC over HTTP / (S). This is used quite widely by many companies still using Exchange server 2003, and provides seamless "no-vpn-required" access to the exchange server using an outlook web access server. I was, as most were, waiting for full exchange integration (Mail/iCal/Address etc). Nope. My question is this: if it was so simple to get this into the iPhone (and it works perfect).. why is this not in mail.app??? Full "out of the box" exchange support is not true at all.

  • Snow Leopard upgrade - Keyboard Letters not working

    Since I upgraded to Snow Leopard the CAPS lock key and the letter "p" will not work anymore. Not sure if this is a hardware fault and just coincidence.
    Can live without CAPS lock but random letters will cause me an issue. Anybody have similar issues/problems/suggestions?
    Thanks

    Try resetting your SMC and PRAM.

  • Installing Snow Leopard Server From a USB Sticki

    In my job, I install Snow Leopard and Snow Leopard Server three or four times a day.
    With Snow Leopard, I've found it easiest to install from a USB stick. So, I did a restore from a DVD to a USB in Disk Utility and it's worked great.
    With Snow Leopard Server, it is not so simple. When trying to install from a USB stick, I get "Mac OS X 10.6 Server Cannot Be Installed To This Machine." Though strangely, installing from the DVD is no problem.
    I've tried to restore straight from the DVD to the USB. I've also tried to install from the DVD to a disk image to the USB. Both times, the USB will mount fine, but I get that error message.
    Am I missing a trick here?

    Oddly enough it is working for me. I had some issues initially so I went out and bought ONE 16GB thumb-drive (major vendor) and partitioned into two partitions.
    I restored one of the partitions with 10.6 and restored the other with 10.6 server. Works flawlessly for me though I do like netinstall. It is a bit slower than the FW800 drive though I do not have to carry around a power brick.
    I hope this helps!

  • Admin tools on Lion to Snow Leopard Server on Mini

    I recently purchased a MacMini Server with Snow Leopard Server and have everything working fine - except when I went to install the Server Admin tools on my Lion laptop - it would not let me!  How do I manage my server?  Currently, I have been using screen sharing to do everything - not the most efficient way - but I have my server up and running.
    If I got the Remote Desktop on my Lion laptop, would that help me manage my server - just want to know, before I go and buy it.
    Thanks,
      -- Nash

    I believe you can only use 10.6 Server Admin tools with 10.6 OS.
    With Lion OS, you can only install Lion Server Admin tools: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1419 - however, this may perhaps worth with 10.6 Server, although I haven't tested, but it may be worth a shot.
    Apple Remote Desktop is not going to help you much in what you're trying to achieve - it is not designed to replace Server Admin tools, it has a completely different function.  It simply allows you a convient way to do screen sharing, copying files, executing unix commands - all of which can really be done through the built in screen sharing applications or via ssh in Terminal.
    Apple Remote Desktop will not allow you to directly change DNS, Mail, etc. settings.  It will only allow you to get onto your server's screen where you can open Server Admin tools and change the settings directly on the server - no different from screen sharing.

  • TLS and Snow Leopard server issues

    I have a customer with Snow Leopard server running mail services. A few clients cannot email them due to what we think is a TLS related issue. Their host has TLS enabled for the mail server and they receive the below error message when sending to my customer:
    15:27:41.044 3 SMTP-406902(domain.com) failed to establish a secure connection with [xx.xx.xx.xx]:25. Error Code=X509: signature algorithms do not match.
    The host that cannot send seems to think it's a Postfix configuration issue but I don't know where to begin. It's not a firewall issue as we've tried that with no success.
    Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

    You are in the Leopard Server section, better to direct your question to the +Snow Leopard+ Section.

  • Are there any problems with Snow Leopard Server (Xserve) and PPC Clients

    Hi,
    are there any problems identified yet with Snow Leopard Server, installed on a Xserve and PPC Clients running Mac OS X Tiger and Leopard?
    Currently I have a Xserve Intel running Leopard Server and about 12 Mac Minis PPC running Mac OS X Tiger and Mac OS X Leopard. The Xserve serves services like DNS, OpenDirectory, Software Update Server, NetBoot, etc. All users have Home Directories stored on the Xserve.
    Now I want to install Snow Leoaprd Server on the Xserve, but I wonder if there are any problems using the PPC Clients? I have read something like this on a german website.
    Thanks!

    We've actually found that the Server 10.6.3 DVD does an amazingly smooth job of upgrading 10.5.8. We've been upgrading our production servers and nothing has gone wrong yet. Snow Leopard employs an archive and install method of upgrading which results in an install which is very close to a clean install. So it's been very convenient for us because our servers are used as Windows PDCs and it's a pain in the *** to have to re-join all PCs to the domain if we start from scratch.

  • Snow Leopard Server Netboot not working

    Hello all,
    I have been trying to build a Netboot server for a week now and it seems that I am doing something wrong. I have a MacPro tower running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8. It seems all of my services are running correctly. I Installed Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on a client computer and configured it the way I need it. for testing purposes it is connect directly to the Server computer via Eehternet. I created the netboot image using the server image tool from the client hardrive in multiple ways
    -from the cleint using the server tools and Server Image untility
    -from the server using the Server Image Utility and the client in target mode.
    I move the image into /Library/Netboot/NetBootSP0 ( this path was created by the server )
    I can see my Netboot image on the client as a bootable disk, I select it and it just hangs on the silver Apple and spinny wheel. Below are the logs it generated. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

  • Lion Clients 10.7.4 show network accounts are unavailable and server is not responding when binding to Snow Leopard server 10.6.8

    Hello,
    I am running Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 and my clients are Lion 10.7.4.  While testing I had no issues binding 10.7.4 to our 10.6.8 server's OD.  I created a 10.7.4 image to push to all of our machines and in the beginning of last week I was able to push the image and get the machines to bind with OD and apply preferences on these machines through workgroup manager.  Towards the end of the week though this stopped working.  Now any time I bind a 10.7.4 client to OD it allows me to perform an authenticated bind and the machine shows up in workgroup manager but immediatley after binding the client the status jelly next to the OD server in the directory list is red and says "This server is not responding".  If I reboot the client I get a notification that "Network accounts are unavailable" at the login screen.  My preferences from workgroup manager are also not applying, which is my main concern because without workgroup manager my mac server is somewhat pointless as we use it for very little else. 
    I've since tried to bind a snow leopard machine (10.6.8) and this still is working with a green status jelly.  I've also built a lion machine from scratch, updated to the 10.7.4 combined update and am still getting the same issue where it shows the server is not responding when binding to OD.  I then applied the subsiquent OS update after the 10.7.4 combined update but the problem still persists.
    Is anyone else having this issue?  Any help would help me keep my sanity.
    Thanks,
    Dane

    Have you had any luck finding a solution to this?  The only thing I have found was to unbind and then bind without authentication.  Any help with progress on your end would be appreciated!
    Nick.
