Virtual instance of older version of the Server

I have a need to run a really old version of a particular software on a server and it's really dragging the rest of the system down, can't update OS X to 10.9 and even 10.8 doesn't work quite right with that software. So I wonder what would be the most professional and robust way to run two OS X instances at once, say the main one that's hosting all the normal server tasks is going to run 10.10 plus the Server app and there's going to be a separate instance running 10.7, very bare-bones with just that particular piece of code installed. One other requirement is that they must share a single IP. Any recommendations?

The limitations are 1 physical CPU and some advanced features are not available. You probably won't miss them.
I am not sure how it handles partitioning. Usually most people don't partition in VMware, you can add another virtual disk and is achieves the same result.
Simply stated, Hypervisor (or ESXi as it used to be known) installed on the Mac and becomes the operating system. It will reformat your hard drive and use the space as it needs. The VMs you create live inside Hypervisor. You can't manage the Hypervisor from the Mac it's installed on, it requires an agent to do that or the WebUI. Inside of each VM you can add disks, memory and such. Hypervisor manages the CPU usage across VMs as well as the RAM usage. Instead of partitioning, you create and add disks to the VMs. Those disks act in the same way as a Parallels or Fusion disk, they become "blobs" that take up space based on their size. You can add external hard drives to the machine and add the entire drive to the VM or put a VM disks on it for expansion.
Your Time Machine partition would be a VM disk added to a particular VM. You would need to create another VM disk or add an external drive to accommodate the other machine.
Again, it can get complicated.

Desktop 5.6.2 w/ older versions on the server

If clients are using various versions of XML Publisher, 5.0, 5.5, 5.6.1, or 5.6.2. Do I have to use the corresponding desktop utility to develop templates for those instances...
Or is it just a matter of "dumb-ing" down your templates if the server is running one of these older versions?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi
I am currently using version 5.6 Build 45 of the Template Builder for Word and running 5.6.1 - patch 4905678 on the server. I exported an .rtf template to XSL-FO using the template builder and got the java.lang error when running the template in XML Publisher.
Do the versions of the Template Builder and the server have to match exactly? Does anyone know where/how I can get the 5.6.1 version of the Template Builder for Word?
All info/suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

AFP fails to connect to a PC volume and gives a "version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported" error message.

AFP fails to connect to a PC volume and gives a "version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported" error message.
Has anybody come across this error and found a fool-proof solution? I have found some stuff on the web but nothing seems to work. In particular this one on the Apple Help doesn't:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4700
I have a W2K3 server where the volume is. It's a new Mac with OSX 10.8 and is connecting with AFP (I don’t want to move to SMB yet). There are older Macs with lower OS and all of them work fine. I have checked all the basic stuff and it is set-up correctly (hosts file on Mac, network, etc.).
Any help greatly appreciated,
Cheers,
Ian

Backup, then restore to older version of sql server

I have a database on a sql server 2008 R2 ( Nov CTP ). I want to copy ( backup/restore ) a database to a prior version of sql server on a Vista PC. Version 10.50.1352 to 10.00.2531. I am getting an error on the restore saying I can't restore to an older version of sql server.
How can I copy the database?

Multiple NW instances of different versions on same server

Hello,
Our current landscape has two NW 7.2 Java AS instances installed on a single server. This solution works well for us, as one instance functions as our Dev server and the other functions as the QA.
I am looking to upgrade to NW 7.3 EP1. Is it possible to have different NW instances at different versions on the same machine? For instance:
NW 7.2 DEV (port 50000)
NW 7.2 QAS (port 50200)
NW 7.31 PRD (port 50400)
I've already attempted to install NW 7.31 Java as a New and additional installation on the server. Both methods have failed so far. I haven't dug too deeply into the logs yet as I wanted to get feedback from the community first.
In summary, is it possible to have different versions of NW Java running on the same machine? If so, what is the best practice and process for installing the new NW instance?
Thanks,
Greg

In summary, is it possible to have different versions of NW Java running on the same machine? If so, what is the best practice and process for installing the new NW instance?
Yes, it is possible. You need to make sure that the hardware has sufficient resources (CPU, RAM, Disk space, etc) to accommodate a new instance, the system numbers and SID's are unique and the OS and DB are supported for the new system.

"Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS"

Post Author: dnaman
CA Forum: General
Hi All,
I recently installed Crystal Reports XI (11.0.0.1282) on my desktop and am trying to save a report to Crystal Enterprise 10. When i try to save it, i get the error above - "Access denied. You cannot log on to an older version of the CMS".
Is it possible to connect to CE 10 with CR XI or do i need to get CR 10 as well? I would have hoped there would be backward compatibility.
Thanks in advance,
dnaman

Hi,
CR 2008 is not compatible with BOE XI R2. The Crystal Reports 2008 report designer is unable to log into XI Release 2 or older servers.
The functionality that depends on an enterprise session is unavailable. If you are using one of these report servers(CRS XI/XIR2 or BOE XI/XIR2), we recommend you use the Crystal Reports XI or XI Release 2 report design tool.
The corresponding server for Crystal 2008 is BO XI R3 which will support all the new functionalities present in Crystal 2008.
I hope this helps you.
Regards,
Prashant.

Accessing older version of RMI server

I have a java 1.1.8 server running and when I try to access it with I have a RMI server running on java 1.1.8 and when I try to access it with 1.1.8 client it works fine. My question is, is it possible to access this with a new version of client? (1.3.1) I have tried this but I'm getting the
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission servername resolve) exception.
I have a policy file allowing the required socket permissions but still get this exception. I'm not sure this is happening due to some incorrect setting or it�s not possible to access an older version of RMI server form a new version of client. Please can someone advice me on this?
Thanks in advance

Problem Solved
This is for anybody who wants to do the same thing. Yes you can call older version of a RMI server from a new version of Client without problem.

I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car. my car is a 2013 mercedes E350. Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple. So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

How can I access Address Book data from an older version of the application to transfer it to a newer version of Mac OS running on a second hard drive on the same MDD G4?

I installed a hard drive from one PowerPC Dual 1.25 GHz MDD into another one with an older version of the OS X. all my Address Book data are on the older hard drive, from which I now boot the computer. When I launch Address Book as an app on the hard drive with the newer version of the OS, I get an error message that says I cannot run the version of Address Book from the older hard drive on the newer OS. How can I access the data on the older hard drive version of the Address Book app so that I can transfer it to the newer version of the app on the boot drive? The "Import" functionality will not work. I will be grateful for any help I can get. I would also like to uninstall the older version of OS X from the older hard drive.

Boot from the older version of OSX, then in AB use the File>Export>Export vCard after selecting all in AB.
Then boot from the new OSx & use the new AB to import that VCF file.

I have a tesco router and an external hard drive attached to it as a network drive (shared) for my macbook and MB-Air. Have no problems with my MB accessing it, but with MB-AIR it says - 'the version of the server you are trying to connect to is not supported. pls contact your system administrator to resolve the problem'. MB-Air uses maverick downloaded yesterday - upgrade from mountain lion. MB uses snow leopard still, as i am quite used to it and am thinking of upgrade if mavericks work fine on air. Also have parallel on snow leopard but it is no longer supported according to mac website - if i upgrade am i going to lose my parallel and will have to buy a new one!!!

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

I use iBookAuthor to make a textbook for my students; I revised it, including title page, but when I export it and upload it to my iPad, the old title page appears, even though I've deleted the older version of the text before I upload the new one.

Last year I produced a textbook using iBookAuthor for my students. I exported it as an iBook and they uploaded it to their iPads. This year, I revised it, including revising the title page. However, when I upload the new version, the old title page is shown, not the new one. I deleted the older version of the textbook before I did this. I've been told that I can cut and paste each revised chapter into a new template and that will work; however, title page and glossary can't be cut and pasted. Any thoughts for getting the entire new version on the iPad? I'm also told that if it is uploaded to an iPad that never had a previous version of this textbook, it will upload correctly. But my iPad has had several older versions, now deleted.

I had a similar issue when trying to create an iBook file to submit for course credit for one of the Apple Learning Essentials classes I took. I had a book I'd started previously which I updated and submitted, and then had to make some edits to for the course evaluator. I made the edits, and when I previewed the book in iBooks Author, it looked correct, but whatever I sent to him only showed some of the edits - for example a new page I created was there, but some edits I made to image captions and the title page image were not.
What worked for me was to do a "Save as" of the actual Author file to a totally new location (I used the Desktop), and then submit that file - which seemed to work in terms of the changes sticking. I even used the same file name.
I'm not sure if some similar action might help you (maybe change the file name slightly?) or if you've already tried something like this.
Still doesn't change the fact that this is a pretty irritating bug.

How do I find, download, and install an older version of the Netflix app?

I was using the Netflix app when it froze up trying to start playing an episode of a TV show. Rebooting my iPhone 5 didn't unfreeze it, so I deleted the app. When I went into the App Store to download it again, it said I had to update to iOS 7.0 or higher in order to download the Netflix app. In the past, the App Store has given me the option to download an older version of the app and this has always fixed any problems I have had with it. Next, I tried logging into iTunes on my laptop (I'm working in Windows, in case that makes a difference) to see if it would give me the option to download an older version of the Netflix app there, but that didn't work either. Finally, I called Netflix's customer support help desk line, but they told me they have no app link to send me and no control over which old editions Apple chooses to offer in the App Store, and that my best bet was to go ask you fine folks if you have any possible solutions.
(The reason I can't simply upgrade from my current setting of iOS 6.1.4 is that when Apple released iOS 7.0, even with adjustments to the color contrast, the reduced motion feature enabled, and sunglasses on, using my iPhone 5 for more than 5 minutes at a time gave me projectile-vomit-inducing migraines that lasted 24 hours each time. I'm disabled so I use my iPhone for pretty much everything, though I would say about 95% of my usage time is watching movies and TV shows on apps like Netflix for entertainment -- distraction is a huge part of my pain control plan, because so few medications help me -- because it's more convenient than using my laptop in bed, both in terms of distance to available power outlets and in terms of how I'm able to position my disabled body most comfortably. So I'm not just being a stupid stubborn girl here, I just couldn't make iOS 7.0 work for my disabled body and I don't currently have the financial resources to trade my iPhone 5 in and go buy an Android smartphone that does work for me...though I'm increasingly suspicious that this may be my only option.)
I tried downloading older Netflix apps compatible with iOS 6.1.4 in various public forums online as one of my friends recommended, but when I moved the old Netflix app into my iTunes Library, it kept asking me for the password of the original iTunes account that downloaded the app in order to access it and sync it to my iPhone 5. And I haven't been lucky, no one has been using their username or "password" as the password. I have yet to find a download link offer the username/password combo in the details for new downloaders, so if any of you have an old version of the Netflix app that's compatible with iOS 6.1.4 and want to share your username/password combo with me (after which you should change your password for safety, obviously), I couldn't possibly be more grateful.

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:

Let us know how that works for you.

How can I restore an older version (before the sync)?

I'm using Numbers on my iPad and my Macbook.
Yesterday I opened my Macbook and for some reason it opened the Numbers app but didn't sync.
I didn't really need to work on the file so I just left it open.
A few hours later I wanted to do some work on my iPad.
It prompted me with a "there's a newer version on your Macbook" and asked me if I want to sync to that version.
I actually forgot I didn't do any work on my computer and tapped on the sync button.
Now I lost all of the information since before the sync.
How can I restore the older version on the iPad - before the sync?

From your last backup.

How do I reinstall an older version of the software on my IPod touch? Installed the latest update and now it no longer works in my car.

I'm sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS. Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums.
