OS 9.2.2 system folder not recognised in tiger

Hi,
I'm a bit lost here. I'm trying to get Classic to run in OS X 10.4.11. which has no previous copy of OS9 on it. The OS X was a clean install.
I installed a copy of OS9.1 onto a USB dongle and then managed to boot the G3 through this and install OS 9.2.1 and then 9.2.2. It had to be installed on the dongle so that I could boot the iMac into OS9 and then install the updates.
Now, when I start Classic from System Preferences it will find the OS 9.2.2 system folder on the dongle and quite happily run, but it is obviously a lot slower than if the system folder was on the OS X HD.
So I copied the contents of the USB dongle to the root of the OS X HD and now it will not find the folder.
Do I need to do anything to enable the OS9 folder now it is on my hard disk. I thought maybe the disk is formatted differently if it is set up exclusively for OS X when carrying out a clean install.
Interestingly, the machine found my OS9.1 system folder on the HD and tried to run Classic from that, but it just hung on start-up which is a known error between OS 9.1 and Tiger - Hence why I updated from 9.1 to 9.2.2

Don't worry. I've managed to resolve it.
I restored my OS9.1 system folder and then copied the contents of the 9.2.2 folder into this. Classic picked it up and work fine.
The only problem is that now I have discovered that iMovie 2 is not supported in a Classic environment. That was the only reason I was attempting this anyway.
Oh well....

  • HT201303 I tried to update my security questions this morning but got timed out.  Ive just tried to get into my account but the system does not recognise the answers to my question.  How can I rectify this problem please

    I was trying to update my Security Questions this morning but got 'Timed Out' I've just tried again to get into my security settings but the system does not recognise the information I'm putting in. Can anyone tell me how I can correct this problem.  I can still log-in.
    Best wishes

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account > Password and Security.
    I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
    If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

  • System Profile not recognising known good 80GB ADM

    I currently have 2 Xserve slot loading, running Mac OS Server 10.3.9. Drive bay 1 and 2 contain 2 mirrored drives. When I place the spare drive module in bay 3 it is not recognised in system profiler and will not mount. It has been working before for backups is this a known issue that may have been caused by an update ? I am currently running frimware version 5.1.7f1.
    Xserve G5 slot loading   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    First of all, unless you have 10.4 running and have your mirror set to auto-rebuild, your raid should now be degraded.
    It is easy to repair anyway, but you should check the status with disk utility or diskutil command line.
    I am assuming that unrecognized means that the drive doesn't even show up in disk utility? or does it say that the drive isn't recognized in the finder (with a message to format)?
    The latter may be fixed with the usual tools like disk warrior or even the repair funtion in Disk Utility. If the drive is completely invisible, it may be something as simple as a loose connector inside the drive module (power or sata). Have not seen that though.
    If you have Applecare, just try to get it exchanged...

  • Classic System Folder Not Installed

    My hard drive was recently reformatted. The Apple guy installed Tiger and everything else but failed to install the classic system folder. Is it in my Tiger installation CD and can I install it separately or do I have to reformat my computer again? I don't have my Tiger CD with me right now. It's in my other place. I bought the CD separately by the way. My computer was running on Panther before. I really have to know the answers so I won't have to go get the CD for nothing. Thanks.

    Classic is not a part of Tiger. If your computer can boot OS 9 then you can reinstall OS 9 from a bootable OS 9 installer CD. If your computer cannot boot OS 9, then you can install the special version of OS 9 from your original installer discs that came with the computer.

  • System does not recognise iPod

    Hi,
    I carefully read the previous related topics, but none of them describes exactly the same problem. Here's what's happening:
    I've got a 60GB iPod, installed it on my laptop and worked perfect ! (laptop: windows 2000 + USB connection). Later on I installed iTunes on my PC (Windows XP + USB connection). But not with the same results. The PC simply doesn't recognise the iPod.
    While installing iTunes, I got following message (after 5 minutes) "the iPod is connected. Wait untill the system has recognised the device". After clicking "format", and 10 minutes of waiting, I get the message: "assertion b failed at .\iPodFormatFAT32.cpp line 1068
    Furthermore, I also get the message "1628: can't complete installation based on script"
    By the way, I can see the iPod in my windows explorer screen as a "removable device", but if I click on it, I can't access it. According to windows the device works properly. In the meanwhile the iPod itself keeps on showing "do not disconnect", and the speed of the PC slows down (it even freezes from time to time).
    And that's it... I've tried all suggestions on the apple support pages (reinstalling iTunes, trying different USB-ports, resetting iPod, returning to its factory settings, disabling conflicting system services and startup items, working with the iPod updater, checking out newer software versions,...) I also tried some suggestions of the discussion members, but no success.
    1) Do above mentioned error messages say something to someone?
    2) Are there any suggestions aside from buying additional USB hubs, firewire cards, etc?
    thanks a lot for some help, I'm feeling so frustrated after spending 500$ (iPod + accessories), spending days on trying to install it properly, and still being nowhere !!
    Gregory.

    Hey Gregory, I was just about to say: GO OUT AND BUY A FIREWIRE CABLE, NOW! We were at the same point of frustration as you, so we took our laptop and the iPod to an Apple store and had a tech look at it. He hooked up a firewire, connected the iPod and it worked just fine!
    It's completely ridiculous that Apple doesn't make any mention of these known errors when using a USB connection. They make it sound so simple in the manual! It's like, "Plug it in, transfer your music and enjoy!" Pshaaw, right. Why not, "If you use a USB connection this iPod will act in unpredictable ways and may not function properly on your PC!"
    To everyone having problems: invest in a firewire set up! And that's the end of my rant.

  • Downloading Maps - New folder not recognised

    I have been trying to download maps to my N95 without any luck. After creating new folders on my phone in both the phones HD and also the memory card it says the folder does not exist.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Cheers

    Hi pearcy
    Maploader application is used to download regional maps with phone in "data transfer" mode.
    In Nokia Maps application connection through either WLAN or Network provider may be set to "as needed" or "never". To benefit from A-GPS feature or to search to full postcode level, an active connection is needed however.
    Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • System Update not recognising BIOS update

    I have a ThinkCentre M92p 2992D9G and want to make sure everything is up to date before installing the Windows 10 upgrade. The Lenovo System Update (5.07.003) does not appear to be picking up the latest Bios for my system - the website is showing Bios 9SKT89A released 30 July which is clearly newer than 9SKT88AUS that is on mine, and the latest update check was on 31 July. I am also slightly concerned that there is no Bios for Windows 10 available. Whilst Microsoft have clearly decided that Windows 10 will run on my PC, I want to make sure that it will be fully functioning.

    just offering assistance;
    always put the link on a separate line.
    @ kevin, the link is:
    https://download.lenovo.com/catalog//10AA_Win7.xml
    Yes aps is missing.
    ==
    @wh4t3v3r
    You are missing several items. Power manager is in the catalog, but not power manager driver.
    https://download.lenovo.com/catalog//20C6_Win8.xml
    https://download.lenovo.com/catalog//20C6_Win7.xml
    Be more specific as to what operating system and MODEL type you are missing items from and state said items. 
    ==
    SU and UR search the Lenovo server based on machine MODEL and operating system.
    It seems two or more catalog entries need updating.

  • System not recognised after failed 10.6.6 update

    Hi,
    A colleague of mine had an error while installing 10.6.6 on a MacBookPro; I was not able to understand which kind of error, anyway now I'm trying to save the situation.
    If I just try to boot, after some minute a stop sign appears in place of the apple.
    Disk utility does not report any error.
    If I look at the disk as firewire target, files are there, plus an unexpected deferred install folder.
    If I try to update from combo, I'm not allowed, perhaps because the system is not recognised.
    The same if I try to downgrade to 10.6.3 from the original disk: I'm not presented with Archive&install, preserve user and network option that would be good for that. I can only install as if the disk is new, but I would prefer not to loose contents. What if I go this way? User files remain available?
    No Time machine backup available too. I could copy files on another disk, this is possible through firewire, but if possible I would avoid to reconstruct configuration by hand.
    Thanks.

    Final update: I surrendered. I tried to cancel some of the folders in the target disk, but I was not able to install the system over. So I saved the user home folder, formatted and installed from zero. I felt like a Windows user .

  • Won't mount, file system not recognised

    I'm trying to download firmware from Netgear's website but when I try to mount the files they say the file system is not recognised.
    I'm trying to get hold of Netgear as well but I thought someone here might have some suggestions too while I wait for a response from Netgear.
    The two files I've tried so far are:
    http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/D102713.asp
    ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/dg834v2_1022.zip
    http://kbserver.netgear.com/release_notes/D103044.asp
    ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/dg8343_0132.zip

    My mistake. The file I was trying to mount isn't intended to be mounted. You're actually meant to upload this .img file directly to the modem.

  • I-phone device not recognised in i-tunes, but is on windows. All Apple support advice does not resolve problem

    My i-phone 3GS with latest operating system is not recognised in i-tunes, howver windows XP does see the device. I have tried all Apple support reccomendations to no avail. There was an error message when last syncing the device with i-tunes, I have uninstalled / re-installed etc and the device is recognised on other PC's i-tunes?

    I have the same problem too. My phone wont show on my pc that's why I can't move my photos. But it does show on itunes.
    Then I went to device manager and this is what I found. I dont know what to do though.

  • Restore from Time Machine backup doesn't install working system folder

    A routine restart turned into a major problem this morning. I'm runnning 10.8.5. on a MacPro tower and a 480GB SSD for a boot disc. Been running fine for the past 2 years.
    I restarted the machine and when I came back to it I was dropped into the Recovery / OSX Utilities screen. This was unexepected!
    Tired restarting again, and it gave me the circle+line through icon ( / ) a couple of times and then the apple as it apparently located the Recovery partition.
    Running Disk Utiliites "Repair" and "Repair Permisions" on the SSD came back with flying colors, so I assume it's not a hardware issue. That said, multiple reboots and nothing. I was basically dead in the water. I only have a boot USD stick, which just launches you into recovery mode.
    Knowing that I was going to be out for a few hours and that I have regular Time Machine backups of my drive, I opted to perform a System Restore on the main SSD, using a backup from earlier this morning.
    After 4+ hrs of "restoring", I optomistically rebooted the machine. It's still gave me the "system folder not found" icon, and booted into Recovery mode.
    This time I quit the application and specifcially went to select the SSD as a Startup Disk and it's not even showing a 10.8.5 folder on the SSD!!
    I just booted up my Mac Pro in target disk mode and plugged it into my MacBook Pro to examine the drives. I can see all 4 drives on my MacPro, including the boot SSD. My boot disk appears to contain all the files it had before, but won't boot! I can verify that the backups are the exact folder structure that I had before, so what's going on?
    Should I:
    Wipe the SSD again, and install OS X from my laptop? Can I do that through Target Disk mode? Or just do that through the Recover Tool?
    Some people with similar issues were told to perform clean installs and use migration assistant to pull the files over. But I really would like to know why using Time Machine backups aren't doing what they are supposed to – the files are all there!
    Is there something I can do to my restored SS
    Obviously this is a desperate time for me, so any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    So far, the closest to a solution has been that I've since reformatted the drive. Installed a fresh copy of 10.8, and now I'm trying to migrate over all my content from the Time Machine backup using the Migration Assistant. In an hour I'll find out if I just wasted the last 2 hrs.
    I guess I have a "Quad Core", I have two many machines to keep all the specs straight. I've been using it for over two years. It's not an OS issue.
    I'm still blowaway by the fact that I could actually just restore from a Time Machine backup. When connecting to the TM via the system utils, it should be handled like a byte-for-byte clone. I think that's a rather major failure on Apple's part, but not the last one of late.
    I still am not confident enough in Mavericks to take that plunge.

  • I have an iPod touch 4th generation and have tried to connect it to my Sony BDV-E970W blu-ray player. The player does not recognise the iPod. What can I do to fix this?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th gen player and cannot connect to a Sony blu-ray BDV-E970W player. Sony system does not recognise the iPod. Do I need to link the Sony to the net and upgrade the software on the dvd player?

    As the other replier said, contact Sony. It may not be compatible with the iPod.

  • Time machine does not recognise itself after restore

    I had to restore my data from time machine by doing a full migration of all data from my back up drive.
    Now that I have recovered my existing system (which did involve a full wipe of HD, internet recovery and an update again from ML to mavericks).
    My restored system does not recognise the back up drive as a time machine and it would appear I cannot append any future backups to this TM.
    I would have to wipe the disk and start again which I did not particularly want to do.
    Any thoughts please ?
    thanks

  • Blinking folder with question mark! Recovery mode not recognising hard drive!

    So today on my MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010, for some reason a CD that I inserted inside the DVD/CD drive didn't come out, and was stuck inside. So I looked up on how to force eject it out, and I saw someone wrote that you can force eject the CD by putting a paper clip inside the hole next to the CD/DVD drive. I did this, and it did not work. After I turned on my MacBook Pro and on the startup I found the blinking folder with question mark! I went through Internet recovery mode, and I found out that it did not recognise my hard drive!
    -Do I have to replace my hard drive?
    Please help! I'm fairly new with computers :(

    That was for very old Mac's and PC's, it's been a long time since any modern Mac had that ability.
    CD that I inserted inside the DVD/CD drive didn't come out, and was stuck inside.
    Press and hold the power button down to force a hardware shutdown.
    Hold the trackbutton down and the option/alt key at the same time, now boot the machine.
    The disk should spit out and you should eventually see a row of icons appear on the screen, this is Startup Manager and you can pres the eject key here also to get the cd to spit out.
    If you see MacintoshHD (or your OS X boot volume) click it and the arrow underneath and when you get into OS X, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and set it again. Your problem should be resolved at this point.
    If you don't see your OS X boot volume and it shows RecoveryHD only, or holding the option/alt goes to Internet Recovery, then your boot drive is dead or there is some sort of other issue/power /Mac related.
    Try a #1 SMC Reset and a #2 PRAM reset and see if that fixes things.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If not, I then suspect because you couldn't eject the cd that something electrical bad happened to the Superdrive and as a result it also effected the power or something going to the boot hard drive.
    The hard drive might still work just fine if it's removed from the machine and a SATA to USB adpater to another Mac.
    My advice is to take the machine to Apple for a free hardware evaluation, then decide what you want to do from there.
    My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?
