"Unable to load replica"- Can I just start over???

I am just in the beginning stages of setting up a new server. When it came time to create network user accounts I was unable to and upon further investigation realized that the open directory isnt properly set up.
Long story short, since I have no user accounts to worry about, is there a way to just start over with my open directory?

If you have nothing created, you can start fresh. You may not need to do a full restore. If the UI is not purging everything you can use:
sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver
Restart the server and then try again.
But before you start, make sure that you understand the DNS requirements before starting. Without proper DNS, setting up OD will be an exercise in futility.
DNS is first. This is the most critical piece. Do Not Skip. Without DNS, you have no foundation to build the rest of the services.

Loaded pictures into PE7 without titles... oops! Can I just start over?

Hi,
Hoping someone can give me step-by-step instructions to correct my problem. I was so excited to get PE7 that I didn't read anything about it. I just went and imported the pictures from my external drive (used to use Canon Zoombrowser). Now I have some issues...
1) I want the "master" photo/video files on my laptop not my external drive. I didn't realize I wasn't copying the files. I now understand that PE7 only creates a link and I don't want the link to be with my external drive. (I'll use the external drive later just to backup the files.)
2) I neglected to import the titles for the 11,000+ photos/videos.
3) Can I move the star ratings too? I'd hate to redo them.
I'm thinking it would be easiest to just start over but I don't know how to do that. From reading other threads I think that reinstalling PE7 won't wipe out the links? Please help!
TIA!!

Hi,
Thanks for the response and sorry for the newby questions, but I still need help. I spent last night trying to sort this out. First, the photos I already had on my laptop in My Pictures (because I wanted to print them) show in the Organizer as being in folders by their date? Did I do something to make it do that? because I don't like everything sorted by date as I have my own organization structure and like to work in the folder view.
Second, I mispoke originally as I DO want to keep the current files on my external drive until I can verify everything is there. I read on another thread that sometimes things get deleted. I did a "move" of one file following the above instructions and it did remove it from my external drive. So what I really want to do is to make a copy on my laptop and that will be the master where I make changes and I intend later to backup the changed files to external drive. How do I do that?
When I did try to move a folder that had one photo plus three subfolders full of photos it only moved the one photo and not the 3 subfolders nor their contents. How could I have moved the folders and photos from the external drive while still maintaining the organization structure? (I'm moving from Canon Zoombrowser.)
Lastly, in the Pictures folder of my laptop I see an "Adobe" folder. Is that where they want me to save my pictures? Just wondering what it's purpose is.
Wow, that's a lot of stuff. First of all, let me say that it appears that you are thinking in terms of Windows folders, and I always recommend people stop doing that. Organizer works much more effectively if you use Organizer's organizing tools, such as tags, captions, notes, collections/albums instead of using folders, and stop using folder view. The only time you would use folder view is to specifically move files from one hard drive to another. Thus, for now, I recommend you simply stop worrying about folders by date. I have no idea how they got that way, unless you used some software to move the folders off your camera and onto your computer.
Have you done any organizing yet in Organizer? Specifically, have you added tags, captions, notes, GPS map locations, or created albums or creations, or edited pictures or stacked pictures? I'm thinking now that if you haven't done much in Organizer, you might be better off starting over. If you have done a lot in Organizer, then you would need to move the folders to wherever you want them to be by using PSE, not Windows.
Once you have everything working, and the originals are on your laptop, then to do a backup of all photos, you would again use PSE commands. Use File->Backup Catalog, and point PSE to your EHD.
When you did the move of a folder with three subfolders, how did you do this move?
Regarding the Adobe folder ... as I said ... folders should not be relevant any more when you work inside the Organizer. It simply doesn't matter where you put your photos for PSE to work properly.

Open Directory: "Unable to load replica list"

I'm currently running Mavericks Server 3.1 on my Mac Mini at the home network. I had some issues with the client logins and went for local accounts on the clients instead. Today I finally wanted to fix the problem and go all Open Directory. But the Open Directory service was shut off when I opened the server software. I tried to turn it on but got a message saying "Unable to load replica list". I updated the software to the latest 3.1 but are still having the same issue. I never had any replica list, I only had a standard one from the start, but it seems I can't do anyhing there now.

OpenDirectory: Unable To Load Replica List, after Time Machine Restore

I followed the following instructions provided on another thread (Open Directory: "Unable to load replica list"):
Many Open Directory problems can be resolved by taking the following steps.
1. The OD master must have a manually-assigned IP address on the local network, not a dynamic address.
2. The primary DNS server used by the master must be 127.0.0.1 (that is, itself) unless you're using another server for internal DNS. The only DNS server set on the clients should be the internal one, which they should get from DHCP if applicable.
3. Verify that the master's hostname matches its domain name by running the shell command
sudo changeip -checkhostname
4. Follow these instructions to rebuild the Kerberos configuration on the master.
5. If you use authenticated binding, check the validity of the master's certificate. The common name must match the hostname and domain name. Deselecting and then reselecting the certificate in Server.app has been reported to have an effect in some cases.
6. Unbind and then rebind the clients in the Users & Groups preference pane. Use the fully-qualified domain name of the master.
7. Reboot the master and the clients.
8. Don't log in to the server with a network user's account.
9. Export all OD users, delete them, turn off OD, turn it back on, and import. Ensure that the UID's are in the 1001+ range.
And got the following results:
Check.
Check.
Resulted in the following console output: The names match. There is nothing to change.
The touch command resulted in "No such file or directory." I circumvented this by manually creating the migration directory, then running the command again. The killall command failed saying "No matching processes were found." Opening the server app after that shows no change.
My trusted certificate was apparently not restored from the backup, as it was no longer listed. I switched to the self-signed one until a CSR can be made.
I'm not clear on what this actually means. There is no unbind or rebind functionality in the server app. Not to mention that my users or groups are no longer listed.
Nothing changed after rebooting the server.
Have always logged into server using the local server admin account.
Where is this done? I don't see any place to do this in the Server App.
At this point I'm suspecting that there are some serious Time Machine recovery bugs with server, as I have tried with multiple different restore points all ending in the exact same result.
Any recommendations on where to go from here? I would love to do a fresh install, but need to archive the data from the server first. Unfortunately, I don't see how I can export each users' data without being able to log in as them.

There seem to be some issues with PostgreSQL not running. Marketcircle Daylite and Billings Pro also won't start, and are showing errors to that effect.

I have ebooks on my ipod and when I'm listening to a story it will not go to the next chapter, it just starts over again with the chapter I just listen too. How do I correct this? It didn't do this before.

ebooks is a term for (mainly) textual books that can be read on screen. If you're listening then I think you mean audiobooks. See audiobooks on iPods. Either reorganize as single files or access via a playlist.

I wiped my Mac desktop partition while using BootCamp. I want to just start over but how do i download snow leopard and start again?

I accidentally wiped my mac OS partition while trying to expand the memory on BootCamp windows to play games. I did this through dropping memory on the mac then trying to merge the unallocated memory with windows 7. I'm now left with windows 7 and next to no memory, i dont have any data i care about backing up as i've only just got this mac (i bought it off a friend and they can't find the installation CD) So i just want to start over but how can i do this?

You'll need to find the disks, or buy new ones. Snow Leopard only comes on DVD.
Call the Apple store and purchase SL for $29 while they still have some in stock. Prices have skyrocketed for SL retail disks. Going anywhere from $85 to $125. While you have Apple on the phone, make sure to have your Mac's serial number handy. This is important because the last retail release of SL was 10.6.3. If the Mac you now own came with 10.6.4 or later, it will not be able to use the retail disk.
If that's the case, then you can use the serial number to get the correct replacement gray disks the Mac came with. It's not expensive to get them and would be good to have anyway since the retail disks do not include the bundled software such as iLife, Garage Band and a bunch of others.

I messed up my CSS styles, should I just start over?

I've been working on a template for a couple weeks. And I changed a couple CSS styes by creating new ones. I didn't really know what I was doing, and now my template's navigation bar has disappeared and my main background has shortened up and is completely out of sync with the text. Is there anyway I can restore my original css styles or do I have to start completely over?
Thank you for your help.

when I preview it in design mode in Dreamweaver the nav bar is gone and background is shortened. How is this happening?
Viewing anything in DW's design view is not the best way to judge your website. You should always use "Preview in browser" functionality. I normally go to:
File >> Preview in browser
and select FF4 first and then IE8 (that is all I have on my machine). These two browsers will cover 90% of the user base in this world.

I don't understand the way I set up my iCloud account and I'm totally confused with it. In an attempt to fix this and just start over completely I deleted my screen name but "bonjour" keeps logging me in. Is it safe to delete it? What options do I have?

Please help!

Hi,
In Messages or iChat go to the App Menu > Preferences > Accounts
On the left is the list of Accounts that are set up.
Everyone gets Bonjour (Although by default it is not Active).
Highlight the Bonjour Account
On the right there is a Box that says "Enable this Account" which probably has a tick in it.
Select it to remove the tick.
This will turn Off the Bonjour Account.
The List may also contain any @me.com name you have set up.
This can be used in Messages as the ID for iMessages
It is also a Valid AIM screen Name.
It would helps if we knew which version of iChat and the OS you are using as there are some changes that occur
An iCloud @me.com name will not work in iChat 5 or earlier due to the checks Apple has in iChat 6 (and Messages) which iChat 5 does not do.
To also work as a Valid Screen Name the password for your @Me.com name has to be 16 characters or less (AIM server limit)

HT4915 My iTunes match is in bad shape! Can I start over?

Probably 15% of the artists in my iTunes Match say "Eve". But I only have one of her albums. Is there a fix? Can I just start over, somehow?

If you are having battery issues, and you haven't, you should try updating your phone to the latest iOS version (7.1.2).
Try restoring the iPhone like a new device after the update and test the phone as this may be fix the issue.
