How to obtain copy of OSX 10.3 Panther for install  on Imac DV400

I have added 1 gig of RAM.This IMAC is running OS9. I was told to buy Panther OS 10.3 Panther as it is the best operating software for this older machine.
I was going to go to apple store education and buy it but all there appears to be for sale is Tiger? I thought Apple required upgrades to be per machine, a new copy of Panther for each machine. I have a full copy of Panther for my Desktop G5. This is for a student 1st grader. I need advice. Where can I buy this? I was at EBAy many times and was scarred off because I do not know much about macs and cannot tell if a seller is advertising something which is stolen, previously used and not for real. Please advise.

Thanks for your speedy reply. I ordered it. I still worry that it may not go from OS 9 to Panther. The whole 9.22 thing is confusing.
If I want to set up my Imac with all the software on OS9 for the first grader to play games efficiently would you recommend partitioning hard drive into one for OS9 and most for OS 10.3. I can then put on my Office apps, photoshop ect.
Is there any way to connect another monitor to imacs for video conferencing or better resolution. I have never seen an imac function with OSX so can only relate to the simple games in 256 colors I see when we use it to play games. Finally getting this rigged up on fast internet cable and with Panther is going to be great. Thanks again. Any advice appreciated.

  • I own a MacBook Pro and an iMac. How can I copy my iPhoto library from my MacBook to the iMac?

    I own a 13" MacBook Pro and a 27" iMac and I have different iPhoto libraries for each one of them.
    How can I copy the iPhoto library from the MacBook to the iMac without losing the pictures I have on the iMac library?
    Is it possible to merge the libraries?
    Can I do this without using an external HDD? (e.g. connecting them through an ethernet cable?)
    Thanks for your help!

    1. By eirher a: renaming one of the Libraries or b: copying them to another folder
    2. If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    3. Yes.

  • How do I copy files from my old pc to my new imac?

    how do I copy files from my old pc to my new imac?

    There are many methods, however you are specific about the type of files you want to move. The first time your Mac turns on it begins with Setup Assistant and asks if you want to migrate from another Mac or PC, you must have missed that. I'd recommend looking over Pondini's Guide and following the directions for using Migration Assistant. You can find them by clicking How to Use Migration Assistant From PC to Mac 10.7 Lion.
    If you have specific files you are attempting to migrate then moving them to an external HD and then just dragging and dropping them from the EHD to the Mac would be very simple. Apple explains migration strategies in Switch 101

    I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install on my 24" Imac?

    As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
    Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
    I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.

  • Does anyone know how I can purchase or download a copy of OSX 10.4 Tiger for an ibook g3?

    I am trying to "upgrade" an old ibook g3 (800MHz)
    I have managed to get it up to OS 10.2.8 with automatic updates, but I would like to install OSX 10.4 Tiger (The most advanced compatible os for this ibook), But I have not managed to find anywhere on www.apple.com where i can purchase a copy?
    Is there anywhere I can buy the original installation dvd, or download a version?
    Many thanks for your help

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It's available through Amazon Marketplace:
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Mac-10-4-Tiger-VERSION/dp/B0002G71T0
    Ask before you buy, ask the seller to make sure it's the FULL RETAIL version.
    Another option:
    http://www.megamacs.com/index.php?action=frameview&id=3986857   (Not a bad price.)
    Also, Tiger usually came on a DVD. Some 800 MHz iBooks have just a CD-ROM drive, so you need to keep that in mind and determine whether you can use the DVD version.

  • How do I copy my own movies from a DVD to my imac so I can edit? them.

    I have made  a number of VCR to DVD coversions and also DV camcorder imprints on DVD+R discs. I now would like to load these onto my iMac for further editing before i either reburn to another DVD the finished product to send to my children. These are all childhood movies of events. So far I have tried to use
    iMovie to no success. and also no success just trying to add. files. I also tried to do it on my PC laptop. I created the original discs on a Toshiba DVR and they have been finalized.  They play on the DVD in my mac but I cannot get them to download. How can I correct that? Is there a special software I need to buy or am I just ignorant?
    Also I am unable to upload via firewire from my Sony DV camcorder to iMovie as well. It doesnt recognize it. Any suggestions how I can address this problem? Thanks for your help.

    You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    which is free, but you must also have the  Apple mpeg2 plugin :
    http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
    (unless you are running Lion in which case see below))
    which is a mere $20.
    Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
    http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
    which costs $25.
    For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
    Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.
    If you are running Lion:
    From the MPEG Streamclip homepage
    The installer of the MPEG-2 Playback Component may refuse to install the component in Lion. Apple states the component is unnecessary in Lion, however MPEG Streamclip still needs it.
    To install the component in Lion, please download MPEG Streamclip 1.9.3b7 beta above; inside the disk image you will find the Utility MPEG2 Component Lion: use it to install the MPEG-2 Playback Component in Lion. The original installer's disk image (QuickTimeMPEG2.dmg) is required.
    The current versions of MPEG Streamclip cannot take advantage of the built-in MPEG-2 functionality of Lion. For MPEG-2 files you still need to install the QuickTime MPEG-2 Playback Component, which is not preinstalled in Lion. You don't have to install QuickTime 7.

  • How do I copy artwork to iPod just once for an album, not for every track?

    I don't download music. All my music is ripped from CDs that I own.
    After I rip a CD, choosing "Get Album Artwork" from the Advanced menu normally works, and if not, I find the highest quality image I can from the web, and copy & paste that into the large box at the bottom left of iTunes.
    It appears that iTunes stores the artwork image once for each track, not once for an album, so for example if an album has 10 tracks, the image is stored 10 times somewhere on my hard drive. This is inefficient, but not problematic.
    However, when I (manually) select & drag-copy the resulting 10 tracks to my iPod, the artwork doesn't transfer along with the tracks. I then have to copy the artwork & having selected all the tracks on the iPod, paste it in. I have the "Manually manage music and videos" option selected, as I simply don't trust the automatic system. I want to supervise what is copied, when, and in what way. I don't necessarily want everything in my iTunes library on my iPod.
    What concerns me is that for each album, the artwork image is stored repeatedly for each track on the iPod, like on my hard drive, not once for an album. As space will be at a premium on the iPod once I start copying more & more of my CDs across (I have only done 9 so far) the point will come where a large number of MB of space will be wasted on the iPod with duplicate artwork, which will mean that I'll be able to fit far fewer CDs on the iPod than would otherwise have been the case. The fact that I have chosen 192 kbps and the AAC Encoder for all my CD ripping also means that the iPod will fill up faster than if I'd used the standard 128 kbps and MP3 settings. I'm not prepared to go below 192 kbps though. My soon to be purchased Sennheiser CX500 earphones deserve that much!
    Is there any way to force iTunes and the iPod to store the artwork only once for each album, and if there is, can this method be retrofitted to the CDs I've already copied to my iPod, or do I have to start again from scratch? I've already filled 670 MB with the 9 CDs, many of which are only 40 or 45 minutes long, so I'm already getting worried!
    Alternatively, am I simply mistaken about all this? Does it only *look like* the artwork is duplicated, whereas it's actually only being stored only once?
    Many thanks.

    In reply to PT:
    Why don't you paste the artwork to the track in iTunes first (fast) THEN send them over to your iPod?
    I already do that. Every track has the correct artwork in place before I copy it to the iPod.
    I ripped about another 10 albums yesterday. Most of the albums got their artwork automatically from the iTunes store. For a few I had to get artwork from the internet.
    When I rip a CD, one of 3 different things happens:
    1. The album get its artwork automatically from the iTunes store, and then when I shift-click all the tracks and drag them to the iPod icon, all the artwork transfers along with the tracks.
    2. As per 1, except the artwork doesn't transfer when I copy the tracks to the iPod. I then copy the artwork from one of the tracks on the Mac, then shift-click all the equivalent tracks on the iPod, and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste.
    3. The iTunes store has no artwork for the album, so I copy the artwork from an image on the internet, shift-click all the tracks on the Mac, and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste. I then shift-click all the tracks and drag them to the iPod icon. They all copy across, but the artwork never does, so I then shift-click all the tracks on the iPod and right-click in the large box at the bottom left of the screen, and click on paste.
    Pasting the artwork to the tracks, in either scenario 2 or 3 above, takes ages (often longer than copying the tracks themselves) and a progress bar appears, listing each track in order as the artwork is added to the track, accompanied by the spinning beach ball. The slowness is mostly down to using USB 1.1, but for a 20 track album, it appears that the iPod is storing the artwork 20 times, once for each track, not just once in total (for the album).
    It appears that in scenario 1 though, the iPod is only storing the artwork once.
    In reply to Landon Dial:
    well first you go to one track, right click and press get info. you go to where it says artwork, right click the image and press copy, then you exiit out of that. then you can press ctrl and select each song you want to have that artwork. if there highlighted then its working. then right click again and press get info. then go to artwork and press paste and it should have copied the image to all of your tracks
    Thanks for your input, but you've completely misunderstood my question. I know how to add artwork to tracks. What I'm trying to figure out is how to force iTunes/the iPod to only store artwork once for each album, not once for each track, even if the artwork comes manually from me finding it on the internet, not automatically via the iTunes store.
    In reply to Chris CA:
    When iTunes gets the artwork, there is only one copy on your computer.
    That single artwork is linked with iTunes to each song on the same album.
    When you add artwork yourself, it is copied directly into the ID3 artwork tag for each song. If you have a 200kB artwork file, each song will be 200kB larger.
    From what you say it sounds like there's no way to force the issue then. If you have to paste in artwork yourself, then it's one copy per track, not one per album. A serious flaw which I hope Apple will address!
    Using playlists is very easy to manage what goes onto your iPod.
    That's true, but I don't really have any need for playlists. I want 95% of what's in my iTunes library copied across (complete albums, with artwork). It's the remaining 5% (the odd individual track, amusing audio files, and other odds & sods) that I don't want copied. Copying things manually suits me fine, and I wouldn't consider another method unless it solved the problem that this topic is about!

  • How to obtain Video and Non Video Serial Keys for Premiere Pro CS6

    Discovered that certain codec presets (specifically the AVCHD codec) was not available for Premiere Pro CS6 installed under Creative Cloud for Enterprise.
    Understand there are two different serial numbers for use in installation. One of these serial numbers is labeled "Video," and one is labeled "Non-Video.
    Where are these serial numbers located?   How are the serial numbers obtained?

    Hello Ann,
    Appreciate your reply..
    Here is where some additional confusion arises (reference bottom part referring to Video Serial Keys)   Adobe support said that these Video Keys are to be purchased from the reseller (which makes no sense)
    Error "...a sequence that could not be opened"
    So, if I understand from your replies and what I have read - it is of the belief that by de-activating and re-activating will address the issue of the missing codecs.  Do you believe this to be correct as well?
    Thank you

  • How can I copy settings from one account to another on same iMac?

    A week ago, my Nik plugin to Aperture and Photoshop crashed the these two apps. I created a new account, and now the plugin works without crashing int he new account. i want to transfer all my settings to the new account. How can I do it?

    Create a new folder on the desktop, choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu, provide ~/Library/ as the path, move some of the items inside to that folder, keeping track of what you moved, try the plugin again, and repeat as needed.
    Moving the wrong item to a different user account will transfer the problem.

  • How do I copy a file from a flash drive to my iMac

    I am trying to import my contacts from my old PC to my new iMac.  I had all my files transfered by an Apple store tech.  My contacts went to my Address Book.  Which is fine, but I now want to import them into Office for iMac 2011 Outlook.  So I exported them out of Outlook 2007 for Windows into a file on a flash drive.  I am now trying to import them from the flash drive into Outlook on my iMac.  I can't figure out how to find the flash drive on the iMac to import the file.  HELP!!!

    By default, all drives are hidden from the desktop. Pretty dumb in my opinion, but that's the default.
    From the desktop, choose Finder > Preferences. Turn on the check boxes for all drive types you want to always appear on the desktop.

  • How do I copy a non-protected home made DVD to my iMac?

    Hello - My daughter's camp musical was burned to DVD and I want to rip it to my iMac.  It is NOT copyright protected. I tried to make a disk image with disk utility but I must have used it incorrectly because I can't figure out how to play it.  Can somebody assist me with this?

    Duplicate a CD or DVD
    1. Insert the DVD/CD;
      2. Open Disk Utility, and select the DVD/CD from the left side list (select
          the DVD/CD icon on top);
      3. from the DU File menu select New | Disk Image from Disk 1;
      4. Choose to format the disk image as DVD/CD Master, name the disk
          image and click Save;
      5. When the .cdr file is finished select it with mouse and press
          COMMAND-I to open the Get Info and check the box to lock the file;
      6. Choose the .cdr file from the left side list, click Burn, and insert a new,
          blank DVD or CD.
    This is not the same as "ripping it to your iMac."

  • How do I copy or sync a photo album from iPhone to iMac (copying album not camera roll)

    Is there a way to copy or sync specific pictures just from a photo album from my iPhone (5s) to my iMac?
    I don't want to have to select each & every one again from my camera roll when I've already taken the time to organize the photos I want to an album on my iphone.
    I usually sync photos to my work PC where I know it only shows the entire camera roll.
    Now I'm trying to sync to my wife's iMac, but again it would be nice to be able to select the specific album I want and not have to go through my entire (3000+ pics) camera roll

    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.
