Upgrading mac mini from snow leopard OSX server - will I need to upgrade server too?

I don't use the server software, so it doesn't matter if I wipe it out or not with the upgrade, as long as mountain lion works...
thanks!

HT1338 why wont my mac mini read snow leopard disc, it will read other dvd's and cd's

I have a mac mini since 2009 I recently got the snow leopard from apple but when I insert it it in the drive it just makes a few noises then ejects the disc. I have tried other dvd's and cd's and it reads them ok any help appreciated

It's possible the DVD is damaged, scratched and/or dirty. Check out KB Articles: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50448 How to Handle and Clean CD and DVD Discs and Troubleshooting Mac OS X installation from CD or DVD
Or you can request another DVD from Apple and/or get your $$$ back.
Your drive may need cleaning. Cleaning kits can be purchased from any store that sells CD/DVDs.

Can the new Mac Mini boot Snow Leopard from an external hard drive?

I currently boot my 2009 Mac Mini from a FW800 external drive with 10.6.8. If I just plug my external drive into a new 2011 Mac Mini, will it boot into Snow Leopard if I set it as the startup disk or will I get a kernel panic?

I bought a 2011 Mac Mini, which came with Lion installed. I thought maybe I could repartition it and have a Snow Leopard partition. So I repartitioned it (500gb split into two 250gb partitions). I named the new partition "SnowLeopard" just to make it easy for me to tell the difference.
I attached the external DVD and put in a Snow Leopard installer disc, holding down the C key so it would boot and install from that, but it just spun for awhile. Doesn't appear to work.
Then I read somewhere else that someone had managed to clone a copy of Snow Leopard onto an external drive and boot from that. In their situation they were talking about a MacBook, but the principle seemed sane.
So I rebooted, holding down the T key to put the Mac Mini into Target hard disk mode, and attached it via Firewire to another MacMini (circa 2008 or so, not sure of year, but it was upgraded last year to Snow Leopard and has been upgraded along and along). Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to copy Snow Leopard (that is, the entire hard disk-- System and all applications and data) to my newer Mac Mini's "snow leopard" partition.
For yucks, when it was done cloning, I restarted the older Mac Mini, and had it boot from the newer Mac Mini's snow leopard partition--- it worked! To make it easy to tell the difference, I changed the desktop background to something completely different. I think I tried booting from Lion but I can't remember if that worked.
Then I rebooted the newer Mac Mini, which booted up in Lion, of course. Going into System Settings, I changed the startup disk to the "snow leopard" partition, and rebooted, and it booted up in Snow Leopard.
I have yet to test the applications on the Snow Leopard partition. Another problem has arisen.
Because with both of the Mac MInis being active on the network, they both had the same computer and user name. So I renamed the newer Mac Mini to something completely different, and changed the password.
Unfortunately, now I cannot change any other setting in the System Settings that requires a password. While the newer Snow Leopard lets me log in with the new user and new password, whenever I try to click the "lock" icon to change something, I'm prompted for a username and password. Apparently this is some different username and password than either the new or old username/password.
I've tried various combinations of both: new user/old password, old user/new password, old user/old password, etc.
So if you do what I've done, be careful about changing the username and password on your cloned computer. I think it may be wiser to create a new user and then delete the old cloned users. I may just have to re-clone the old Mac Mini to the new one again.
If anyone has any ideas about this password conundrum, please pass along!

Wiki Server support on Mac Mini with Snow Leopard?

Hi
I am considering buying Mac Mini with Snow Leopard server. Before that, I want to know about wiki server 2 capabilities. Wiki Server 2 page says following:
"Mac OS X Server makes it easy for groups to collaborate and communicate through their own wiki-powered intranet website complete with group calendar, blog, and mailing list"
I am planning to setup wiki server for a small group of users over Internet (and not intranet) to exchange information and so it should look something like wiki.mydomain.com with login capabilities for user(and again, this is over internet).
My Question: Can wiki server 2 work with web server to support above (or similar) setup?
If not, what can be done to support above setup?
Response appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Jason, what is your source of information that this is a supported configuration?
I work at Apple. Thats why I have the !http://discussions.apple.com/images/status/apple_employee-16x16.gif! logo below my username.
The new Mac mini comes in three different configurations, two of those have the standard version of Snow Leopard.
There is an article that addresses issues similar to this here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186, but switching from Snow Leopard Server to Snow Leopard is not like trying to install Tiger when the Mac mini came with Snow Leopard.
You can also verify this by contacting an Apple specialist at: 1-800-MY-APPLE or call U.S. iPod and Mac technical support at: 1-800-APL-CARE (1-800-275-2273).

Mac mini and Snow leopard wireless problems

Hi,
I got mac mini running snow leopard to our office from another branch, this is recently brought mac mini with snow leopard installed,
But the problem is I cannot connect to internet using wireless connections. Reading other posts i found out that there is a snow leopard issues with connecting to wireless network, but this problem seems to unique. When i connect to wireless network it shows me that, mac mini is connected to wireless network but doesn't take ip address from dhcp , its show some self assigned ip which is 169.254.226.163, but my network address are 192.168.1.*, ethernet works fines,but in wireless even when i gave manual ip , it connect but i cannot connect to internet neither i can ping to router.
I tried various methods suggests in forms, like deleting network preference files in /Library/Preferences and ~/Library/Preferences and also deleting network connection and adding new one, even updating to 10.6.3 but nothing works for me,
My macbook nicely connected to wireless and get ip, even PC connect nicely this issue is only with Mac mini
Could have suggest me how can i fixed this, Thank you very much,
Best Regards,
Waruna.

Thanks DaddyPaycheck for your initial response. Before I jump onto the phone with Comcast couple of questions that I have for clarification purposes:
1) Are you implying that I must link my blabla.com address to that static IP address through my Domain Provider? See following example:
Record Type Record Host Record Answer TTL
A *.blablat.com >>Static IP<< 300
2) The current IP I have been given 60.172.151.254, why is that not static or how do you know it is not static?
3) When executing the command host in terminal for this IP address it returns the following: c-60-172-151-254.hsdl.co.comcast.net which coincidentally is the same as primary DNS it recommended during the initial configuration of the Mini Server. What does this mean? When I enter this in Safari it results in 'Safari can't connect to server'.
4) Executing the same command for my domain name 'blabla.com' it results in my 'internal' IP address '1.0.10.9'.
Thanks in advance for any clarification you can provide,
Tiest.

I want to install XP Pro SP2 on a Mac Mini from a 2003 RIS server.

I want to install XP Pro SP2 on a Mac Mini from a 2003 RIS server. Is this possiIble? How is it done?
The mac has 10.5 which has bootcamp to enable Windows install. I have created a partition but the bootcamp utility asks for a CD. I want to install a RIS build. The Mac has a option for network boot but this seems to only work with Mac Server. I assume the network adapter is not PXE compatible and so a boot disk of some kind will be needed to kick this off?.

Hallo, I installed the program as you said. Everything ok.

How can I find out if my mac mini running snow leopard can be upgraded to mountain lion?

I have a mac mini with sufficient ram for the mountain lion OS however, I am unable to determine if the machine was created in early 2009. Is there a way to make sure my machine will take the upgrade without purchasing the operating system first?

Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
     Lion System Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
           or Xeon processor
       2. 2GB of memory
       3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
       4. 7GB of available space
       5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Upgrading to Mountain Lion
To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
     OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
       Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
         2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
             Model Identifier 5,1 or later
         3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
         5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
         7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?

After upgrading to Lion from Snow Leopard, mail server does not receive incoming email

After upgrading my server last night [2011.07.20] from Snow Leopard to Lion, my mail server settings went belly up. After toying around with the server, its certificates and what-not, I was able to get it running, but it is no longer receiving any emails [neither internally nor from Gmail, Yahoo, etc.].
I can send emails via SMTP just fine [using SSL] to external email accounts [and it doesn't complain when I address an email to an internal email account, but I can't verify that it's sending it to the internal email account because it won't receive!].
The Connection Doctor says that it is indeed connecting properly to the server [incoming = IMAP, outgoing = SMTP], so there is communication between Mail 5.0 [and also Thunderbird as well] and the mail server. The problem appears to be the mail server not receiving any emails - from internal or external addresses.
Anyone else having this problem or know of a fix for it?
Thanks!

Did you find a solution to this issue? My mail server is doing the same thing. I've tried six migrations now, and have a couple of tickets open, but they all have issues. I have worked around all of them except the mail server problem.
I did some more digging; the problem appears to be that on a migrated server, it leaves all of your mail store in the old location, doesn't move it, and then doesn't appear to upgrade spam-assassin properly. The net effect is that the mail server gets the SMTP communication, tries to pass the message into spam assassin, and then it goes south.
I see errors like this littered in the logs:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed:
Jul 31 13:53:10 mail org.amavis.amavisd[5927]: bayes: cannot open bayes databases /var/amavis/.spamassassin/bayes_* R/O: tie failed: No such file or directory
Do you see anything similar?

Mac Mini w/ snow leopard server, convert?

Can the above mentioned mac mini be reconfigured with regular snow leopard-no server? Having the extra hard drive would be nice as a dedicated HD for audio recording. I am assuming that Logic won't run on SL server version. Is is possible to wipe the both drives clean and use my snow leopard disk to do a fresh install

Mac Mini w/ Snow Leopard hibernating when it shouldn't

Hi, two Snow Leopard bugs to report:
1. I've got a Mac Mini (from ~early 08) which I've recently upgraded to Snow Leopard. I've got the Energy Saver control panel set to never allow the machine to go to sleep or to sleep the display. However, I hear the machine going into hibernation sometimes when it should be just idling in the Finder. I've snipped out the useful part of my system.log that shows the machine going to sleep and then waking back up when I hit a key:

2. Once the machine has gone to sleep for a while, it never seems capable of re-detecting the display which is hooked up to it (a Panasonic projector running through a Monoprice switcher). The only way I can then get the display back is to ssh into the machine and do a 'sudo reboot'. Very frustrating.
Any ideas about either of these [related] issues?
thanks!
Any ideas?

Have you tried trashing /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.PowerManagement.plist, & if you have one, /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.AutoWake.plist? Or toggling between one of the preset Energy Saver settings & your normal one?
Also, very unlikely to be the problem but make sure no uninterruptible power supply emergency shutdown settings are somehow in effect with the pmset -g ups terminal command -- I think you should see:
<pre>UPS settings:haltlevel off 0
haltafter off 0
haltremain off 0</pre>
Regarding your other problem, does it make any difference if the display is connected directly to the Mini, without using the switcher?

Restore Mac Mail from Snow Leopard Back Up

Hi, I've just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and I'm going through the process of restoring bits and bobs from my time machine back up. I did a clean install which I though might help my machine as it's been getting a bit slow recently.
Can anyone help me with restoring my mac mail to a 'how it was state', I have my time machine back up created in Snow Leopard and I also archived each mail folder seperatley (.mbox) to be double safe. I'm not sure of the best and most efficient way to restore all my mail accounts, hopefully someone on here can help.
Many thanks in advance.
Terry

Thanks for the help. I ended up importing each mailbox (mbox) seprately. When I tried to import 'apple mail' it choked in the process probably because they are pretty big files. But it worked though the import mbox option ok.

I've uploaded a photo from a file in my Mac OS X Snow Leopard onto Facebook and it needs to be enlarged. Please could someone tell me how to do this? Thank you.
