• Install OSX no server on Mac Mini "Server"?

  I have the opportunity to buy a Mac Mini "Server" 2012, or a regular 2012 Mac Mini. Both are clocked at 2.6 Ghz i7, with ram of 4 GB, but the ordinary non-server Mac Mini is much more expensive. My question is, if I could reinstall OSX (El Capitan), without a trace of any server software and use it as you would with a regular mac mini. I'm kinda new to Mac, and I think that a mac mini would be the most cost-effective method to penetrate the mac-i-verse.

  Thanks for any help!

  Yes, you can.

• iPhone SE and 2009 Mac Mini server, 2.53 Ghz

  Greeting:

  I help my friend who has recently bought an iPhone SE 64 GB.

  Everything works well, this comes in place, iCloud, connect etc.

  He would like to use Mac to his back upwards and however,.

  When iPhone is connected via brightening cable, 2009 Mac Mini server: 2.53 Ghz, 8 GB ram, (256 + 128) fusion GB SSD Apple/Toshiba.

  Nothing happened - iTune does not see the iPhone.

  I went to 'about this Mac' - nada.

  I unplugged all USB devices - only iPhone was connected, try on all ports USB 5 - nothing.

  I tried 3 different cables - nothing either.

  Just curious if anyone had this problem?

  It was the first time I saw it.  However, it works on my Macbook air to 2013.

• Better conservation to use for the Mac Mini Server

  Hi all

  I have a Mac Mini, I want to start using a server around the House. Manage other Macs around the House, centralized Time Machine and are also used as a file server for both Windows I have machines.

  Therefore, a Mac Mini with 500 GB of storage, so I obviously need to add much more. Ideally, I'd like to build a 5 4 Bay RAID system but it is there, I seem to be failing and need help. I seem to have 3 options - stroke of lightning, USB, or NAS.

  Love at first sight seems to be too much and a lot of people say he exaggerated in any case for a home installation

  NAS seems to be the most cost-effective way, but then negates the point of the Mac server still?

  USB looks good, but I can't find any decent USB enclosures, are there who would recommend?

  Thanks in advance

  Mike

  Unfortunately, many would say that Macs are not appropriate to use as real servers for businesses, however some do and for small businesses, they are perfectly usable. Obviously in a situation of host concern the most appropriate a Mac as a server is completely different.

  While the most common choice for the storage of a Mac server these days would be an external RAID Thunderbolt for example the promised Pegasus R4 and R6 lines, I agree for a location that a NAS solution may be more appropriate.

  A NAS can act as a universal file for Mac and Windows PC server, should not let the Mac on all the time, and most NAS devices support also act as a Time Machine backup server. However, some people say that based NAS servers Time Machine are not reliable enough and you may use a real solution of Apple as a Capsule or a Mac running Server.app and sharing a drive as a destination of Time Machine.

  I agree somewhat that NAS based Time Machine systems will not be as reliable as a real Apple one, but I'd also probably say that they are not either completely useless. For example, I use a NetGear ReadyNAS as a system of Time Machine and I'm pretty happy with it.

  In addition, for external storage, there are additional options.

  • USB, as you said
  • FireWire is always possible even if you suddenly need lightning to FireWire adapter, you can even get a FireWire RAID solution
  • Love at first sight as the promised Pegasus system I mentioned
  • NAS - you can connect to it via NFS and "re - share" via AFP via the Mac server
  • iSCSI Ethernet to a NAS system, could be directly at a customer or could be're-shared' via AFP
  • Fiber Channel to aid suddenly in love with FDDI card and then have a configuration Fibre Channel SAN - very expensive and often used by video editors
  • Maybe a bolt of lightning to eSATA adapter, then an eSATA storage solution

  Hello

  Our current file server is the last of the Xserve running 10.6.8.  It's getting up there and if it's the toasted bread, so I am. If I get nervous.

  I waited for a refreshment HW of Deputies and Minis, but none have been forthcoming and I don't see even in Active rumors about them. If Apple decided professional users can take a flying leap which will suck because I'm already doing a HyperV Windows 2012 nightmare and I want more. But I digress...

  Anyone used later (also older than it is) makes Mac Mini with a Promise RAID as a file server for users of more than a dozen? We have a staff of 50 more or less, more use as a store of files for our portal and web server (each on a machine separate with mounted shares) of CrushFTP file sharing.  I would like to know popular experience actually using a Mini to serve that many users and if the aggregation of links to one of the thunderbolt with ethernet port ports actually works.

  Anyone done this? How is the performance?

  Thank you

  Jeff

  Not many users, but one of my clients is written four or five DTV full-HD video streams in couple of tables Promise Pegasus configured RAID-6, and the berries barely noticed the load.   This along with the generation previous Mac Mini.   The limit you will probably hit here, it's how much you can stuff through the Gigabit Ethernet, which probably means using a bolt of lightning for the Ethernet card or two - the bottleneck will be on the LAN side.  But I suspect that you will have to prototype your load in all cases.

• Latest version of the firmware for late 2012 Mac Mini Server?

  I'm having some trouble with black screen on a Mac Mini from 2012. I want to make sure that the firmware is the latest version.

  Hello

  I would like to know how I could erase a partition I did by mistake. My Mac is very low in memory and, of course, I as soon as I open some applications Mac starts to bug... I just did an installation fee and it's still going slowly...

  When I try to do it with disk utility, it is impossible. I have a screen shot so that you could understand my problem more...

  

  OS X is installed on Macintosh HD, it is the general principle.

• gray screen on mac mini

  Hello

  My Mac Mini server is running 10.6. Now when I start it, I get the Apple, then I get the circle with the line through it, then I get the flashing folder.

  I tried to reboot using the SHIFT key, as well as the command-r and neither work. I always get just the gray screen.

  now, since this is a mac mini, it doesn't have a DVD/CD player, so I can not put my disk server in there and start from that.

  What are my options at this point?

  Thank you

  Dave

  command + R does not work on systems without the own firmware, more No 10.6 restorations system with the command-R, only 10.7 and subsequent restoration with the command-R.  10.6 was available on DVD, and you can start with the down Option.  10.6 Server on the server of the Mini is a different operating system, and you really should put these questions in the forum server below:

• What version of creative cloud works on Mac OSX SERVER?

  Just got a new Mac Mini SERVER.  Want to make sure that I get the good versiono of creative suite that will run on a server, not a workstation.  They all operate on the editions of Mac OS x server same as OSX workstation?  Thank you.

  Usually the office products are not supported in any way on all server operating systems. This is true for both Windows and Mac. This does not mean that they are unable to work, but you should know some things on your own and deal with user privileges / file permissions or install and manage demons / services and system libraries that may be necessary.

• Cloning of a Mac mini with application Server

  We bought a condo in Florida and I want to my server it doubles. I use Mac mini (2 different models) with 2 drives external (one for Time Machine backups) and one for data.

  What is the best way to install the Apple Server on Florida related to the Mac mini so I don't have to install it from scratch?

  Yesterday I tried (in vain) to use the Migration Wizard to move all of my Mac mini to the Florida-bound one. Can I use 3rd party app "Carbon Copy Cloner" instead?

  Any recommendations on how to configure the 2nd server would be appreciated.

  The replication server is a relatively trivial process and can be accomplished by using disk utility.  However, the source drive and the destination drive should not be active at the time of cloning.  For example, you have Master Mini and you want to be replicated on Mini replica.  The best way to do it with the included tools must start Master Mini from another disk that contains an operating system to start.  Then start the Mini replica in target disk mode and connect it to the Mini Master (already started from another drive).  Disk utility to clone the Master disk on the drive of replica.

  Ah, but cloning is the easy part.  The question I have for you is that you really want an exact replica?  The reason why I ask, is that your current server should have a name and a fully qualified domain name.  It's server.pauljohnson.com and it has a 10.0.0.10 IP address.  If you clone the device to another Mac, there will also be a name of server.pauljohnson.com and it has a 10.0.0.10 IP.  If two of your networks are configured on the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet then you won't be able to connect to each other.  Similarly, if you depend on external access to devices and must comply with DNS, then you can only point to one of the servers, unless you have a form of installation program to distribute the load between the two locations of load balancing.

  What services run you on the servers other than the Server Time Machine?  Do you intend to have a VPN tunnel between the two institutions?  If you use Open Directory, and DNS, you can configure master and replicas of the two services.  Of course, this should only be done with a tunnel VPN in place I would not recommend exposing these services to the internet.

  Then await you replicate data also?

  Start with a list of services and a list of expectations about how you want client machines work when moving from one place to another.
