What is Leopard 'Client' and do I need it?

Hi There
I have OSX 10.5.8; I was looking through Apple support downloads to make sure I have the most up to date patches, fixes etc.
As I was perusing, I came across this upgrade, please see link below...
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1329
It was at the top of the OSX pile of upgrades and therefore looks like the most recent; the thing putting me off installing it is the word 'Client'.
Could anyone please tell me what the upgrade is for, and do I need it, or should I just get it anyway as it looks the most recent patch...
I am happy with Leopard, so please don't tell me to forget it and just buy Snow Leopard instead!
Kind Regards,
Mr Totsy

"Client" is the normal OS X version you install as opposed to OS X Server which is the server version of OS X. The security update is for your system. In general it's a good idea to install security updates but it's not a mandatory update if you are concerned about that.

Hi there kburgee! Other can be anything from App Data (information saved from apps like game progress, or passwords) to or old messages that you haven't deleted! The absolute best way to clean up some space is to restore your iPhone.

I'd tried deleting my user preferences before, and it didn't seem to help. However, I tried again, and also removed the couple of actions I'd had in ~/Library/Automator. Success! Just for good measure, I tried putting the actions back and restoring the old preferences file, and everything still worked. Huh. But that's the nature of these things, I guess. At least it works now, thanks!

Cannot login to network account (leopard client and server)

Up until now, I have used local accounts on my leopard server. I want to start experimenting with OD prior to implementing. I created a new user account in the /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 domain, and have bound my leopard client to the server using directory utility. On the login screen, "Network Accounts Available" has a green button to the left of it. When I try and login to the server account, the login window just shakes. At first, I could enter the password and then it would prompt me for a new password. Trying to enter a new password would not allow me to login. I went back to server admin and disabled the "require new password" setting, (as well as the other good security policies)...
I have also reset the password in WGM, and made sure to disable all the security stuff there too...
Lastly, I have deleted the server in directory utility, rebooted, then added it back in, and rebooted again...
I still cannot login to the server account, the login screen just shakes
Does anyone have an idea of what settings and or logs I can check to try and narrow down what is going on?
Thanks in advance....

to close out the thread, I have working dns on my network, but I did not have dns enabled on my server. I enabled the dns service and entered just the info for my server, then assigned my server and client to use the server's ip addy as the primary dns server. Next, I created the home directory.
Once both steps were done, I was able to log in from my client to my server based account...
FYI-I found a document on afp548.com called "leopard server: advanced setup, rsync backup and automated reporting" that walks you right thru the process...Here is the link, it's a very useful doc....

Tiger server, Snow Leopard Client and Illustrator CS4

We have a strange problem happening with the one Snow Leopard client we have accessing our Tiger server. In certain directories (not in all) if the user opens an Illustrator CS4 file, makes changes and goes to save the file they get the message that the file is either locked or in use by another user (it is not). This does not happen with any other kind of file in that same directory. The server is connect to AD so the user accounts come from the AD but on this machine we have the same problem regardless of the user account used to mount the server volume. It also doesn't matter if I use a local account on the server to mount instead of AD. I have the same problem if I connect via SMB instead of AFP. Other machines (Leopard) can work on these files with no problems.
A couple of other bits of information which might be useful. If the user opens the file, does a save as to the same name and same folder and replaces the original they can work on the file and save it with no problems. As soon as they close the file and reopen it they have the problem again. Also, if they run into the problem, close all programs on the computer and try to unmount the server volume they get the message that the volume is in use and cannot be ejected. I have checked and there are no invisible files being created in the directory where this file resides.
What is strange is that the problem does not happen in all directories although when it happens it is repeatable in that directory. Happens every time. I have tried changing the name of the folder to something simple and it still happens.
Any suggestions on where to go with this problem??

No progress yet. Have tried a lot of things with preferences on the server. I have confirmed with another snow leopard machine that this is not related to the machine in any way. I have not yet had a chance to test it on another Tiger server but given the fact that you are seeing it as well I would say there is a problem with the two operating systems cooperating.
As I said, I do have a temporary workaround. If you do a save as with the document, choose to overrite the original it works and then lets you continue to work on that file and save for that session. After you close the file and reopen the problem returns but at least for that session you are fine.

What is thin client and Fat Client

Hi Experts,
I would like to know about Fat Client and Thin client in detailed words.
Thanks and Regards.
Chilla..

Hi Chilla,
     The thin clients are clients that reduce the load on servers.
Let me explain hw thin clients will get works.
     Thin clients are stores,all required library files in you local system,so that the corresponding applications which are using will be used the library files in your local system and it get execute and where as in the case of Fat clients the library files are not stored in your local system.
   Please let me know if you have any doubts regarding this.
Thanks and Regards,

2 silly questions what is boot camp and do I need it? & How to transfer PC

Okay, I've just ordered my first mac it's a 17" 1.83 refurb iMac, I've noticed a lot of stuff about boot camp, what is it? Does it allow me to transfer my old pc files to my Imac? The only files I will be transfering are pictures and music files can anyone tell me how easy or hard this will be, Thanks again

There are no silly questions.
Boot Camp (which is still a beta until Mac OS X 10.5 'Leopard' comes out) allows you to boot your Intel-based Mac in either Windows XP or Mac OS X. It will make an extra partition on your internal hard drive on which you can install WinXP SP2.
To transfer you PC files onto your Mac you will not need Boot Camp. There are several ways to do it, but perhaps the easiest is to burn you files on a CD-R or DVD-R and insert the disc into your Mac.
For your music files: start iTunes and import all music files from your CD/DVD (File menu > Import).
For your pics: start iPhoto and import all your pictures from the CD/DVD (File menu > Import in Library). iPhoto is really the best way to keep track of all your current and future pics and share them with anyone.
Good luck and welcome to the Mac world!

What is a keychain and do i need it?

I have recently forgotten my login password. I got my computer reboted and it is ok now but Keychain access required tabs keep popping up and when i enter my new password it does not recognise it. It is really irritating and i dont know what to...

Keychain Access/File/New Keychain. This should make a new keychain which will allow you access with your current password. Since the keychain will be new, Mail password and others will have to be entered again.

What is listen.exe and do i need it?

this program occasionally crashes, and seems to cause other problems when it does. I do not use mc3 or the remote that came with the mega 180, and I don't have much use for the lcd display because the 180 is tucked away in a cabinet, and i can't see it. I DO use MSI Radio Tuner. Can I remove listen.exe without giving up anything?

Mmmmm, maybe listen.exe is responsible of displaying stuff on the LCD. Imagine the situacion: Media Player connects to listen.exe via a local socket and sends the information that must be displayed on the LCD. Then, listen.exe receives that information and sends it to the lcd. In that situation, we should discover that protocol to GAIN THE CONTROL OF THE LCD!!
Yes, maybe I'm just dreaming! But... what if...
Let's research a little.

What are the adv and disadv of using SRM as an addon?

Hi Friends
what are the adv and disadv of using SRM as an addon
Regards
Simha

Hi Simha,
Here are my view points on SRM and ECC one client deployment: The decison to have one client for SRM and ECC is more driven by the business model of the client and functionalities one need out of SRM .Following points needs to considered before deployment:
1) ERP and SRM as an add-on does not support any multiple-backend functions or hub deployment for procurement.
2) Upgrade or migration from SRM system to ERP with SRM as add-on is not supported
3) Strategic sourcing scenarios in SRM are not used by clients with such deployments
4) Although SRM is running on the same client as ECC the purchasing organization have to be maintained in both MM and SRM system
5) From HR Orgstructure stand point there is no additional benifit in same client deployment as compared to seperate deployment
6) From Security stand point its better to have a seperate client for SRM-vendor registration as this functionality is exposed to outside world and internet.
7) Master Data Synchronization is a positive point which is only available within the SRM Add-on deployment with ECC
8) For SRM and ECC (seperate) master data management remains asynchronous and unidirectional
Thanks,

What is the lost and found folder on my hd?

there is a folder on my hd that I did not create called "lost and found" and only one document inside that is 3.79 GB called iNode6630939. What is theis file and do I need it?

normally things in lost and found can be deleted. unix has had a lost and found directory since forever. if you do a fsck on your drives and a file comes up that is not accounted for, unix puts it in lost and found. if you are not missing a 3.79 GB file, then delete it.

The max OS for all Macs with a PowerPC processor is Leopard OS 10.5.x.
If you are going to consider getting a newer, but used, Mac, here's the requirements for Lion.
Lion 10.7 System Requirements
    •    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor (most models released since late 2006 - early Intel-based Macs with Core Solo or Core Duo processors aren't compatible)
    •    2GB of memory (recommend at least 4GB -- and ideally even more, as you'll see benefits in many computing tasks)
    •    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended) for Lion download from Apple App Store; or Leopard 10.5.x if using Lion on USB drive
    •    7GB of available space (10GB recommended)

What is an Oracle Client and why is it needed

Hi,
I have an application that is using an Oracle database as data source. Application and database is located on two different servers. Now I will move application to a new server and to do this I need to install an Oracle client and install this on the new application server. From my understanding this Oracle client is needed to make it possible for the application server to communicate with the database server. I wonder if someone can tell me more about this Oracle client, functionality, role and why it is needed?
I have been recommended to install the Oracle client 10g version. Where can I download this together with instructions of installation process?
FYI - database used is Oracle 10g EE.

Third-party products (and Oracle's own too) need certain Oracle DLLs in order to connect to the database. This set of files is called the Oracle client. You may also want to learn about tnsnames.ora because you need to edit it in order to use Oracle client to Oracle database.

I don't know much about computers can anyone walk me through this ? How Do I Change The Software Update Server Address On A Client ? what do I open and how do i put it in the right spot?

I don't know much about computers can anyone walk me through this ? How Do I Change The Software Update Server Address On A Client ? what do I open and how do i put it in the right spot?

The simplest method is to run a defaults command on the client Macs (easily pushed via Apple Remote Desktop):
defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL 'HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG'
for a user. If you run it via sudo it will set it for whenever you use softwareupdate as root.
The HTTP_URL_FOR_CATALOG has been changed with Mac OS X 10.6. If you use MCX it will automatically pick the new catalog – however if doing it manually the following URLs need to be used for whichever client version is in question:
Mac OS X 10.4: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.5: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.6: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.7: http://mysus.example.com:8088/index-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
Mac OS X 10.8: index-mountainlion-lion-snowleopard-leopard.merged-1.sucatalog
To double check this applied you can run the following command:
/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
and /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c Print ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
to see what settings are for the computer and user appropriately.
If this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the window.
MCX
Another alternative is to use Workgroup Manager to manage the preferences via MCX from your server. This can be done for users, or for computers if they are bound to your Open Directory.
If you are using 10.5 Server or newer: you can simply use the Software Update section under Preferences.
Manually:
Choose the accounts, computers, or groups to have the preference applied to.
Click on Preferences, and then the Details tab
Press the Add… button and navigate to /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
Press Edit…
Under Often, add a New Key and enter the name CatalogURL
Make sure the type is string and then enter your SUS URL (eg. http://mysus.example.com:8088/index.sucatalog or if using 10.6: http://mysus.examle.com:8088/ – see above from the defaults section)
Press Apply Now, then Done. Once users/computers have refreshed their MCX settings (usually the next login or restart) the new settings will take over.
If this is working correctly when running Software Update (GUI) you should see the server address appear in parenthesis in the title of the window.
In order to have a system-wide configuration one has to run the following:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index.sucatalog"
In order to correctly work both on Leopard and Snow Leopard the right command to issue is:
defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate CatalogURL "http://your.updates-server.lan:8088/index-leopard-snowleopard.merged-1.sucatalog"
Happily used and tested on my network
The DNS trick that Chealion points out is fantastic. I use it at our office, and every computer on our LAN will automatically pull the updates from the local repository at high speed without any configuration.
Create the swscan.apple.com DNS zone on your internal DNS server, and have it resolve via an A record to your Mac
