After I set up my new iMac and had everything running, my G4, G5 and MacBook all appeared in my server list.This week, for some reason (I can't understand) they don't show.I even went to Favorite (recent) listing and tried that way, but nothing connected.I can see my iMac from my G5 and my MacBook, but the connection timesout.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.3), Magic Mouse, Wireless keyboard
I just got an iMac. For the first few hours it was turned on, my MBP showed up in the iMac's Finder, and vice versa. However now, for the past two days, neither Mac has shown up in the others Finder. Connecting to afp://[their ip address] lets me see the public folders, but I still can't use the shared iTunes libraries, or share screens.
The same thing happened with the MBP and other Windows/Linux devices on the network, as well as my jailbroken iPod with Netatalk installed, but I just chalked that up to the klugey nature of mixed networking. Guess that wasn't the problem.
I'm running 10.5.1 server on a G5 and plain old 10.5.2 on two other Macs. When I reboot the server, the other two Macs appear in the Shared section in the sidebar of a Finder window. I can mount their disks and share their screens.
After some indeterminate time (days, sometimes hours), they disappear from the sidebar. I can ping them and I can mount their file systems via "Connect to server ...", but I can't get to their screens. I have two PC's and a Linux box and they never disappear. And on each non-server Mac, the server and the other non are always there.
Why do my shared Macs vanish from the server?
I'm looking to setup a public DNS Server on Mac OS X but there seems to be an access control list that only allows clients on the local network to be able to do DNS lookups. How can I remote this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedOccasionally when we netboot a Mac, it boots from the wrong image!On the OSX Server (10.4.8), the default image is a standard NetBoot image. There is also a NetRestore image used for restoring/cloning and also a NetInstall image used to upgrade Macs running OSX10.3 to 10.4
A few times we have found that although the Standard NetBoot image is set as the default, a Mac has booted to the NetRestore image, which is very worrying as the NetRestore image is set to erase destination hard drive before it restores !
How can this happen even when the standard netboot image is set as the default ?lso, one of the G4s in our PhotoStudio Netbooted this morning instead of booting of its internal/local hard drive even though no-one had selected this!
I guess this happened because the Mac could not find an alternative startup disk to boot from ? However after NetBooting, we were able to restart the Mac normally, from its local hard drive. Very strange.......Fortunately, this time the Mac did boot to the default Netboot image on the OSX server so the NetRestore did not 'kick-in' ! However, due to the recent behaviour I feel I cannot trust the NetBoot Server in case it starts up from the NetRestore image and overwrite somesone hard drive!
I need to set the time and date for all of our Macs in the network, I have tried to have a look at Workgroup manager but I can not see anything.

"is on the local list but not on the server list, would you like to add this buddie to the server list?"
I noticed that in the Leopard ServerAdmin, some lists are really buggy. In particular I noticed that the list for the SoftwareUpdateService is really trippy, as you get all kinds of funky results when sorting the list for release date or name. You click the GarageBand Update for example, and get the description for an iMovie-Update I found nothing about it at Apple's place, but do not know where/how to file a bug either.

I want to generate a list of users and their GUID's and I think dscl is the right tool. I don't have great bash skills nor can I get dscl to jump through hoops. I can get individual GUID's for a user using # dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1/ -read /Search/Users/username but waht I would like to do is generate a list of all the users and their GUIDS ?how I can do that?

I've done a lot of research about the older USB iSub (which I have) not working with Snow Leopard and Intel Macs (which I also have). I tried the iMic work-around, but it did not work for me. Any tips? Maybe I'm missing a step...
So anyway, the newer iSub as paired with the HK Soundsticks works fine w/Intel Macs since it uses the industry standard 3.5mm mini-jack.
I was wondering if anyone has considered converting the guts of the older USB iSub to use the 3.5mm mini-jack instead?
I have a crappy speaker/subwoofer combo that uses the 3.5mm mini-jack where the subwoofer volume is controlled at one of the speakers. It looks pretty easy to pull the guts from the crappy subwoofer and see if it will drive the iSub. A bit of a kludge I admit, but it's possible w/o permanent damage to the iSub.
Can anyone tell me or post a pic of how all the wires connect between computer/iSub/satellite speakers on the newer HK Soundsticks?
However it seems like OSX does eat up quite a fair bit of memory and Rember doesn't seem able to find the fault when I am running on one stick (it is probably used up by some block of code that has yet to run yet!)
Is there such a thing as the equivalence of memtest86 for Macs? Or even better will memtest86 even boot on a Intel Mac, now that it supports BIOS?

my macbook pro (late 2011) is powering down without warning. I'll be writing an email and w/o warning, it's off. I'm unable to turn it back on with the power button unless i hold it down for a slow count to 10. Fyi - machine is 100% charged when this happens. Two days ago, I did SMC and PRC resets with Apple Care. I needed to do both of these again yesterday on my own.

Aperture 3 runs as a 64-bit application on Mac OS X Snow Leopard on Macs with Intel Core 2 Duo processors.Does that mean that Aperture 3 won't run as a 64-bit app under OSX.6 on quad-core machines (like the top-of-the-line i5 iMac)? They can't be serious!

I have a 2006 Intel Macbook with a crashed hard drive. I'm kinda broke right now, so instead of buying a new hard drive I loaded ubuntu 10.4 onto an external hard drive (USB) and tried to boot the macbook from it. (Failed). I hold down option to launch Startup Manager and all it shows me is a cursor (no drives). I know the external drive is bootable because I a) booted the laptop from a LiveCD and used it to create the hard drive and b) I booted a Dell from the external. I've tried moving the drive to a different USB port, but no chips. I don't have anything else connected to the computer.
my question is: Can I boot the macbook from the external hard drive if the internal hard drive is shot?

I was reviewing audio books on my wish list and the list just became empty. I have stopped and restarted iTunes and I have manually re-logged into my apple account but the list keeps coming up empty.
