Mac mini, Mac OS X (10.6.8), upgrade to Lion
I have recently purchased a Mac Mini with Lion X. I also have a couple of MBPs. I'd like to have the Mac Mini act as the place where all the Time Machine backups go (I have a 1 TB external disk hooked up to the Mac Mini). Apparently, I must have Lion x *Server* running on the Mac Mini for it to become available as a Time Machine destination for the MBPs.  How can I upgrade my Mac Mini from Lion X to Lion X Server?Â

I'm trying to install a SSL Certificate on a mailserver under 10.6 server. I dont know what to do by intermediate certificate and choosing type on certificate assistant.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a clean install of 10.6.3 Server (retail) and every time, after the post-installation reboot, I get to the Welcome screen and I can't use the local mouse/display to go any further (the "Continue" button is dimmed out). And there's the spinning progress wheel in the bottom, left corner. From past headless server installations, I think what's happening is the server is waiting for a remote connection to continue with the installation (via Server Admin or Apple Remote Desktop). Because I've had the logic board (just) replaced, I can't do a remote install as it's not accepting the "new" serial number associated with the logic board (ie. first 8 charachters), nor is it accepting the 12345678 password. So, I'm forced to do a local install — but, I can't even do that now because I'm stuck on the Welcome screen.Â
I've tried reinstalling the OS several times now, let the machine sit on the welcome screen for an hour, tried doing it with out and without network cables attached (including different ports on the Mac Pro, different cables, etc.), but I just can't get passed the Welcome screen.Â

I bought the Lion Server and downloaded it.I ran the installer. A window appeared saying "Your Mac needs additional server software. Click Continue to download and install the software and finish configuration."It then shows a progress bar and proceeds to download, but stops with the error message: "Can't install Server Essentials because it is not currently available from the Software Update server." There is only an "OK" button that cancels the installer.I wasted hours with phone calls and support chat but they didn't know anything. it really seems like Apple has expanded to the point of incompetency.

I purchased the new Mac Box Set with Leopard 10.5.6, iLife '09 and iWork '09.
I was 50/50 on which type of Leopard install I wanted to perform today.
Looks like the disc made the choice for me and performed, what I'm assuming, is the upgrade. All of my files, settings, etc. were intact after the reboot.
I have many questions but few clear answers. What would be the benefits of doing a clean install vs. an upgrade? I have an iMac 8,1 which supposedly is eligible for a 64 bit kernel. Would I have to do a clean install or an "archive and install" to get the 64bit kernel? Also, can someone explain to me exactly what an "archive and install" is/does? From the name, I'd assume it would back up your HDD to an external storage unit, then do a clean install, but I'm probably way wrong.
One more question. If I so happen to choose to do a clean install, would Time Machine be an adequate way to restore all my data after the update? Any help or answers to any of the above questions would truly make my day. You will also be rewarded $1,000,000,000 in Happy FunTime money.

I just upgraded from Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8 up to Lion Server 10.7.3. All services seemed to come through ok except DNS. None of the records on the server resolve anymore. I have setup forwarding IPs when the requested domain isn't in the local database, and those still seem to work becuase clients can still resolve external websites just fine, however no internal services resolve. I can't even get the server itself to resolve DNS entries even though its DNS server is set as 127.0.0.1.

I'm unable to upgrade from my 10.6.8 configuration on my Mac Pro running OS X Server to OS X Lion Server. I've purchased both Lion and Lion Server, but each time I attempt to run the updates to 10.7+ I get error messages saying to install 10.7 or to download Lion Server - though when I do that it tells me that I need to install 10.7.

I have been running a Mac Mini OS X Server for last 3 months without a single error. I have 2 of them. Yesterday, I upgraded to 10.7.4 (from 10.7.3) and today, one of my servers has crashed twice. Both times, it has rebooted (no Monitor attached to Mac Mini). It is out of service for 10 mins or so. This concerns me, as it never rebooted before 10.7.4. Also, other Mac Mini OS X Server doesn't have an issue. I usually wait a few weeks before installing software updates on servers - but I decided to yesterday (Sunday), because I had some time, stupid me.

I have been wanting to buy a Mac Mini, but the one I want is a refurbished June 2010 model and comes with Snow Leopard Server. Is there any way I can upgrade to the non server version of Lion? I will not be using any server features, and to the best of my knowledge, the Mac Mini server does not have any hardware that does not come with the regular Mac Mini, other than the 2nd HDD.

Has anyone noticed a strange 10 user file sharing limit after upgrading to 10.7.4 server? Using DeployStudio to mass deploy 10.7.4 Lion images in a school. Since upgrading to 10.7.4 server, I am now limited to 10 logins on the repository. Thought this might be a DeployStudio issue, but it seems more like the server is imposing the restriction. If I do a manual login to the shared folder where the image files are kept on the server, I can only do it from 10 computers and computer 11 will refuse to login.

Since I have had my system upgraded to Maverick I can no longer download emails from my server/provider. Mail asks for the password for the user (me) and when I type it in nothing happens.
There is no problem connecting to my server/provider online, so the server is working ok. My guess is that I am missing some crucial ticked or unticked box in the mail set up.
like I said, no email alerts of mails getting through at the moment (so have to read everything only when I'm online...).
I have a beta version of 10.6.5 installed. Build 10H542. How do I upgrade it to the latest release that just came out today? When I run software update it tells me I'm up to date.
View 6 Replies View RelatedIve purchased a used emac from a friend. 800Mhz, 256MB, 60GB HD, SuperDrive. Nice little machine for the kids. It has OSX 10.2 (Jaguar). I would like to upgrade it to Tiger. (wont support Leopard). My plan was to take my iBook license of Tiger, install it on the eMac, and then purchase Leopard license for my iBook. Would like to know if this is legit.
To see if this was viable, I tried to install Tiger on the eMac with the install DVD that came with my iBook. It starts up the install process, and the says that it cannot be installed on this machine.
Im not trying to circumvent anything. If possible to buy leopard for iBook and use it�s existing license on eMac that would be great.
when I got my Macbook, I only got a 10.5.5 dropin disc to upgrade. Now I am replacing my hdd, how can I reintsll OS X from this upgrade disc without an older version?

1. I was wondering since I am on Tiger will I need to do a clean install or just an upgrade? (Dumb question but I need answers) I have the upgrade disk and I heard the upgrade disk is the exact same as the box set and I do not need iwork 09 cause.
I already have it and I don't need ilife 09 because I have final Cut pro, photoshop, and I have some HTML knowledge.
Also, i have no interest in music making so I don't need ilife.
2. If I do need to do a clean install how do I do that?
3. Could I just do a upgrade?

View 12 Replies View RelatedSo I installed osx 10.4 server on a Power Mac G4 (white/blue)
Went throught the setup screens and did a complete reformat / install. The boot disk is set to the HDD. after the install is complete it just boots to the loader screen. (Where the mac face shows, followed by a question mark) and just cycles over and over.
I can put the DVD in at this point and restart the install.. I did go in and check the disk permissions and disk status and both passed..
I've also checked the open firmware. printenv and it shows the HD and path.
The system has a NewerTech 1.6Ghz CPU upgrade in it, 1.25Gb of RAM, and 30Gb free on a 80Gb HD. The system doesn't have an Internal DVD, so I attached an external Memorex DVD via Firewire. The system is already running 10.4.11 client and works just fine.
I am willing to either upgrade in place or do a clean load. What ever it takes to get this installed so I can play some...
Currently, when you put the DVD in the drive it shows up on the desktop and you can open it to the Installer.
Upon launching the Installer, you get the message "Mac OSX 10.5 cannot be installed on this machine.
