Upgraded and Now Open Directory Hosed

I upgrade my Mac Mini running Server to Mavericks and then Server 3, however in the new server app my Open Directory service is marked as Off, when I turn it On I get asked if I want to create a new OD master, join a domain as a replica or restore the domain from an archive. So from what I can see the upgrade has lost my OD data :-( I have an archive of the OD master I took before I started the upgrade, but when I restore it it doesn't seem to 'take' and I am left in the same situation.
If I try to create a new OD domain, I get to set the diradmin password etc I get an error "An unknown error occurred while verifying directory administrator settings"
So I'm stuck and am going to have to roll back to the pre-upgrade backup of the server but I really need to know how to either (1) keep my OD data during gthe upgrade, (2) be able to restore from an archive or (3) rebuild the OD domain from scratch - any one of those would let me get things up and running.
Any suggestions?

FWIW and if you haven't already found this, see the Mavericks OS X Server: Steps to take before upgrading or migrating the Open Directory database  (HT5300).  This OD upgrade article is a little hard to find, but was referenced from this OS X Server upgrade article (HT5996).  Then some potential post-upgrade steps for Software Update Server.

  • I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. please help

    I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade and now iphoto will not open correctly anymore. it stays on the opening screen and the message
    shows up that I must update the mediathek. If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?

    I downloaded the new iphoto and the upgrade
    Does that mean, you are running iPhoto 9.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 Yosemite? Or are you using an older MacOS X? "New" iPhoto is relative and depends on your system.
    If I click on update the program shuts down. How can I fix this?
    Does "shut down" mean it crashes?  Then post please the error log from the error panel here - copy and paste the report into your next answer (the first 50 lines should suffice)
    Where is your iPhoto Library (Mediathek) stored? Have you moved it to an external drive, or is it still in your Pictures folder (the order "Bilder")?

  • I just did the recent upgrade and now I keep getting an error message when I try to open a book on my Kindle app, I have deregistered the app and reloaded and the same thing happens, does anyone know how to fix?

    You are seeing the message because the new AirPort Extreme has some specific System Requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    AirPort Utility 5.6.1 in Snow Leopard may or may not work correctly with the new Extreme for all functions. As long as things are working OK for now, you can probably leave them "as is" and wait for another Mavericks update to fix some issues before you "upgrade".
    If you have an iPhone or iPad, you could use that to administer any settings changes on the new Extreme.

  • My Ipad was upgraded and now when I open a book in Kindle it will not open the book and just takes me back to the opening screen of my IPAD. This happen after a upgrade to some IOS. Help.

    My IPAD was upgraded and now when I open a book in Kindle it will not open and reverts back to opening screen of the IPAD and this occurred after some upgrade with IOS.Help.
    Thanks

    The app may not be iOS6 compatible. Have you tried to reset it? HOld down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red slider, and unitl you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps. If it doesn't, then I'd contact Kindle and see when they're going to update their app or if they even know there's an issue. Unfortunately, the burden is on app developers to be compatible with the operating system, not on the OS to be compatible with millions of apps. So it's up to them.

  • IPad 16GB iOS 8.1.1 upgrade and now cannot open Music and Videos apps

    My iPad 16GB installediOS 8.1.1 upgrade and now cannot open Music and Videos apps...HELP?

    Since yesterday morning about 11:00 I have been having TERRIBLE email problems on this iPad 3G. Email comes in (I hear the sound) but nothing displays -- no folders, no content, no nothing in e-mail. The blank email screen shows up and then disappears after about 10 seconds, taking me back to the Home Screen.
    Right now, the only way I can see email on this device is to log onto AOL via the AOL app.
    I have been doing a lot of online reading about the problem. It has to do with iOS 8.1.3 and it affects older iPads and iPhones. I'm having no problems on my iPod touch, which -- fortunately -- is so old it cannot update its iOS 6.
    I waited to update the iOS on this iPad until iOS 8 was "mature." That was about 2 weeks ago.
    Anybody know know if Apple is aware? working on a solution?

    my ipod touch died in the middle of a upgrade and now it wont come back on. When I charge it, it just goes to the apple but not the home screen. how do i fix it

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Just updated to 7.1 and now open some apps and cannot seethe entire screen because the iPad, time n battery icons are covering top of screen.

    Just updated to 7.1 and now open some apps and cannot see the entire screen because the iPad, time n battery icons are covering top of screen.

    I tried what you said but it still didn't help.
    It only affects some of my apps other apps are fine.
    For some reason in some of my apps the iPad, time and battery icons get bigger on the top of my screen so I can't see the top of the app page which effects some of the games and applications.
    Is there any way to turn these icons off on the top of the screen?

  • Uploaded new itunes upgrade and now some music can not be located. a screen appears and says you need to locate the songs in other folders. Any ideas? New upgrade sinks

    Hello
    just did the the new upgrade and now half of my songs are not playing. A screen appears and says you need to search for your music in folders. What the heck happen with this ? Anybody have any issues too?

    This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
    Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
    Alternatively, as long as you can find a location holding the missing files, then you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes .

  • Just upgraded and now a keyboard is appearing on an app and I don't want it

    Just upgraded and now a keyboard is appearing on an app and I don't want it

    If the keyboard isn't supposed to show in the app then it's possible that the developers need to make a change for iOS 8.
    You could try closing the app via the iPad's taskbar and see if that makes any difference.
    If not then you could try deleting the app and redownloading it and see if that fixes it - though if you've made in-app purchases within it you may want to check if they are re-downloadable.
