New 9.2 install into G3 B&W 350 mHz desktop......
Good morning.
I need to start out fresh with a new-to-me 350 mHz G3 B&W.
I have a "retail" disc of 9.2.
I would like to completely erase the boot drive and install a fresh OS 9.2.
Can anybody remind me how to do this?
The computer currently has a much modified OS 8.6 system.
Thanks for your time!
Insert the 9.2 disc.
Go to Apple menu -> Control Panels -> Startup Disk.
Select the CD.
Restart the Mac from the control panel.
The CD should now appear on top right above the hard drive.
Follow these directions to erase:

Run the installer when done, and make sure to install Mac OS 9 drivers in the process.

Is there a way to either reinstall the OSX version that is currently on my Macbook Pro, onto the new HD or do I have to have the Snow Leopard disk and then upgrade to the newer versions all over again?
Depending on your processor and RAM installed, you can install lion from the app store under the apple drop down menu. You have to have at least 2 GB of RAM installed and you have to have an intel core 2 duo processor to run Lion. This you can find out in "About This Mac" under the apple drop down menu. That is the only OS that's newer than yours and one that isn't installed from a disc
hope this helps -
Cannot install into new laptop

I had a repair done on my MacBook Pro and had to have a new hard drive installed. The Apple Auth Repair Shop then updated the OS from 10.6.8 to 10.7.5. Now my iPhoto v 9.2.3 will not open and it sounds like it will not work with this OS. Can you please advise?
You may need many other updates to retain compatibility with Lion. I suggest you reinstall Snow Leopard. Unfortunately, you will need to erase the drive first. Be sure to backup your data if you haven't done so already.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
installation current.

hiya
got a new hard drive installed and couldn't retreive anything off my old hard drive
can i get my old purchased items from itunes
thanksHi hopscotch,
Log into the iTunes store and do a search to find your previously purchased items. Click the "Buy" button, and put in the same iTunes id and password that you originally used to purchase. A dialogue box will come up indicating that you have already purchased this item and do you want to download it again for free....
Say yes, and it will be re-downloaded to your Mac.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,

Drag the folder into the library in the open iTunes program window.

This has to be one of the the most common problems that people encounter. We all get new computers every so often, and we all need to keep the old bookmarks when we get a new computer and install the new browser.
I feel like I must be among the small minority of people who do not know how to do this. My older computer is not dead, it just got old (it uses XP). I have been keeping it around until I get all of the data from it. Any help in doing that would be greatly appreciated.
I am now using Windows 7.Firefox also makes regular backups of your bookmarks in a folder named bookmarkbackups in your personal settings folder. You can restore the backup to your new Firefox, but unlike importing the HTML-format file, it is a complete drop-in replacement, so if you have saved new bookmarks you do not want to lose, the export/import method may work better for you.
By default, Windows hides your personal settings folder so the easiest way to access it is from inside Firefox. You can use either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This will launch a window showing your Firefox settings files.
You might want to back up this whole folder if you have other data you want to preserve from your XP computer.
Either way, you should find the bookmarkbackups folder here and when you click into it, find maybe 10 files with dates in their names.
The procedure to restore the file once you have it on removable media or some other convenient place is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
Regarding the other files and what you might find of use: [[Recovering important data from an old profile]]. -
Restoring data after new hard drive installed
I just got my MacBook Pro laptop back from Best Buy after having a new hard drive installed. I did not have them restore my files, as I have backed up files on my external hard drive- WD My Passport for Mac. I never originally did anything to the external drive in terms of setting it up, partitioning it, or anything. I just plugged it into my laptop and assumed it was doing the backing up. Also, now that I have my laptop back, I wanted to see if the external hard drive did what I hoped it was doing- backing up my files. I have have now plugged My Passport in hoping to restore my laptop and have discovered that I can't open some files from my iWorks files, as it appears that I may now have to reinstall that app. I guess I was assuming this app would have been saved to My Passport. In order to fully restore my files myself (trying to be more computer independent) what should I do? I have been reading some of the other questions people have asked that seem to be related to what I'm trying to do and read about partitioning My Passport. Should I go in now and make the one partition under the Volume Scheme on My Passport and then switch the name and the partition scheme from Apple Partition Map to GUID Partition Table? The message I'm getting is telling me that partitioning this disk in this way will delete all the data on this disk, so I cancelled and reset everything back the way it was, concerned I would lose all my data. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can download iWorks from the App Store. Since you purchased it previously it should be a free download.
Repartitioning or reformatting a disk will erase all the data on it.
If you are already testing your iWork files it sounds like you have restored or can restore the files. Other than iWorks, what did not get restored? -
My system is a Macbook Pro running Mac Os 10.6.7 with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 duo processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 ram. The upgrade downloads fine, but when I try to drag the firefox image onto my appication folder, I get a dialogue box that says...Cannot install application because "libsmime3.dylib" is in use. I can run Firefox fine from the disk image.
Nope---didn't work. I've owned Macs for about 12 years so although I am brain dead on some things, I do have a working knowledge on most things. I only say that to say this--I did try holding down the mouse and choosing empty trash. It asks if I want to permanently delete what's in there. I say yes--and then I get the same identical message again-----'The operation can't be completed because the item "Firefox 8.0.1.dmg" is in use I can then click stop, or continue.' So apparently that complains the same way it does if I click it up on the menu :)))
As for item owned by---that's not an issue and isn't coming up. User is not a problem either as I am the only user on this system. There is only ONE file in my trash at the moment at that is this dmg file. Nothing Mac. Nothing owned by anyone other than Firefox. The problem seems to be that the dmg file and the original 4.0 FF file are working in tandem with each other--even though I have already drug the new 8.0 globe into the Apps folder and it updated the FF app with the new stuff. If I could force the dmg file to go away, I would do so, but at every turn the system is telling me it can't be done because it seems to think that dmg file is in use---even though everything is shut down and/or ejected. Hey--I'm getting ready to head out and won't be back till evening. I'll check back in this evening. Thank you again for your help. -
Got a new hard drive installed and since then, I cannot get purchased song into my itunes. It is telling me that my write access or permission are wrong. I have changed all and nothing works. HELP!!!!!!
Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps. -
Trouble Creating a New Directory to Import into
I just upgraded to Lightroom 5 today and installed the update to 5.2 on Windows 7 64 bit. I have run into a problem I never had before. In the import module I want to create a new directory to import into. I go through the same steps I did in Lightroom 4, but when I am done, the directory does not show up on the list. I can find it in Windows Explorer, but not Lightroom. If I leave the import module and then return, the directory shows up in the Lightroom list of directories. I have tried this twice with the same result both times. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a Fix?
Thanks that works. I found that even though the new directory did not show in the Import list of directories when I created it usind the right-click method as I did in LR4, LR5 is in fact creating it and will import to it. Another odd thing is when I create the directory using the right-click, Windows Explorer method, the directory list in the Import module flickers like it is adding the new directory. However, the new directory cannot be seen.

Problems with using old web service project with new WLS/OEPE install
I developed a java web service two years ago using WLS 10.3.3 and OEPE. After development I checked the workspace into Subversion including the .metadata directory. The web service was deployed to a production WLS box and is running fine.
Now I have a new Windows 7 desktop computer. I have installed WLS 10.3.3 and OEPE on my new desktop and am trying to get the web service I wrote two years ago to run locally. When OEPE launches I point the workspace to the workspace project directory (from two yrs ago) that I have just checked out from Subversion. However when the OEPE IDE comes up I have many errors in the java code. Pretty much every java class is flagged with a "cannot be resolved to a type" error.
Also, when I try to create a new server and domain, I have a problem there. I select "Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 PatchSet 2" as the server type, click Next on the wizard, but then on the next window where you select the Domain, the Domain Directory is disabled and will not let me enter a value, and the link to allow you to create a new Domian is not visible.
Feeling kind of stupid as this should be really simple to do. Am I proceeding correctly by saving off the entire workspace and then trying to use that workspace in the new WLS/OEPE install? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Have you tried creating a new workspace, then import the project from your subversion workspace?

How would I install a newer version of Oracle using the old tablespaces and other database objects (controlfiles, undo, dictionary, schemas, ...
Can I install 10.1.0.4 into a new directory and somehow make it own the stuff from 10.1.02?10.1.0.4 is not 10g Release 2, but only a patch level of Release 1 (of course higher than 10.1.0.2. Patches have always to be installed into the existing ORACLE_HOME, if you plan to install Release 2 , you have to install it into a new home.

FB3 plug-in install into Eclipse 3.3 does not install editors
I just decided to upgrade to Eclipse 3.2 as it has been
suggested in the forums that could improve stability on Windows
Vista.
I installed Eclipse 3.3, then ran the FB3 Beta1 install to
install into the new eclipse installation. Install completed
successfully but after opening eclipse I got errors when it
attempted to load the editor for open source files. It basically
said that com.adobe.flexbuilder.editors.derived.something could not
be loaded or something like that.
I thought maybe it was because I had not unistalled the FB3
plug-in first so I uninstalled it, unzipped a fresh copy of eclipse
3.3 and then installed the FB3 plug-in again. Same problem.
On inspecting the plugins folder of my eclipse installation,
I noticed that the
com.adobe.flexbuilder.editors.derived_3.0_172437.jar file was not
unpaced, as the other editors (mxml, actionscript, etc) were. So I
unzipped the JAR to
com.adobe.flexbuilder.editors.derived_3.0_172437 and started
Eclipse and this seems to have fixed the problem.On further investigation this does not seem to be an
installation problem but rather an Eclipse permission issue. The
JAR file is installed and I believe the expected behavior is that
Eclipse automatically unpacks ("activates") it when it is first
required. I noticed permission denied errors in the Eclipse log
relating to bundle activation failure. I saw the same problem for
the Java editor (org.eclipse.jdt.ui).
I'm not sure why Eclipse is unable to activate the bundles
however. As far as I can tell everything in the workspace and
eclipse folders is owned by me and I have run a "takeown /f /r" on
both to make sure but it still fails. I vaguely remember the same
problems when I originally installed Eclipse 3.2 on Vista.
Some of the Eclipse folders did not have u+w permission
however but even though those folders (and their parents) were
owned by me I could not chmod them unless the command shell was
"Run as Administrator", which is odd.
Anyway, after taking care of the permissions on those folders
all now appears to be well.
