After installing Ubuntu, now I cant re-install Mac OSX 10.0.4 on my G3

350 Mgz, Blue and White G3:
I installed UBuntu, then decided to re-install Mac 10.0.4 and wipe Linux off. After deciding to go back to OS X, during the install process of 10.0.4 from the disk, when time to choose which HD to install it on, it will not recognize the HD that Linux is on, it only shows up with the OS X CD, and it is grey out...
I have tried several times to install and find myself stuck at this point of not being able to choose the HD to install on, it did have OS X on this mac before I installed Linux.
Any suggestions? My buddy wants to buy it, but only after OS X is back on it...
Thanks in advance,
Doc

Hello and Welcome back to Discussions.
Frankly it's a complete waste of time to go installing 10.0.4; it's nothing more than a beta and very little actually works on it well.
You should re-install OS 9 from the original install disks and ensure that firmware version 4.1.9 has been installed. Panther was the first really usuable version of OS X and the maxmimum that your iMac supports (10.3.9). Until then OS 9 was more functional in many respects. I'd advise your friend to get a copy of Panther from AppleRescue ($59) and do a fresh install of that.
kind regards

You will need to Upgrade to Snow Leopard to get a Compatible version of iTunes to Sync your Device.
Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...
Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

Used Boot Camp to install Ubuntu, now Boot Camp is out of date, want to rid

A while ago I used Boot Camp to install Ubuntu, but now Boot Camp won't start because I don't have 10.5. How do I delete and restore my Ubuntu portion back to OS X

in system settings, go to the time/date, and uncheck the "Automatically set time" option, and manually set the date to sometime in September 2007. You should be able to use the Beta version of Boot Camp to remove your second partition and restore your disk.

Be sure Safari does not have the Block Pop-Up Windows preference set.
Where I work now there are several unencrypted VLANs that require authentication, and Safari promptly pops up a window for me to register every time.

I destroyed mac while installing ubuntu. Id like to get mac back, please help?

I was curious about linux so i installed ubuntu and accidentally destroyed my mac partition. Id like to get mac back, please help!!! I have the snow leopard install dvd but it causes kernel panics. And i obviously cant download lion from the app store because i am using ubuntu.
I am using a mbp 8,1 early 2011. Please help!!

I read your post as indicating you wiped the OS X partition from the disk.
If that is the case then, given the date of the machine I don't think you have network recovery, you should check to see if the Recovery partition is still on the disk (depends on how you wiped out the OS X stuff when you installed Ubuntu) by doing as Thomas said hold command R while starting up.
If the recovery partition is still there you're home free, just follow the screen prompts. If it is not there then the only recourse you have is to get it to boot off the original SL install disks. At what point during the boot procedure with the SL disks does the machine panic? And as was asked above, these are the SL disks that shipped with your machine?
If I misread your post then follow the advice of the previous posters.

Once I installed FF 7.0.1, all websites with Quicktime videos will not play. Each page says I need to install QT. I'm on a Mac, OSX Lion. Everything worked in FF 6.*

I'm using a Mac, OSX Lion. I've been using Firefox for years. Lately I've been using version 6.**, meaning I keep the version up to date as updates come out. Quicktime videos have never been an issue. But, once I installed FF version 7.0.1, websites now tell me I need to install QT. This makes no sense. Worked in FF 6, doesn't work in FF 7. Videos on Apple's website won't play in FF 7.0.1. Says I need to install QT. Makes no sense, QT is part of the OS X Lion install.

I had the same problem with divx also and here is a solution that will work for both first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

How to install english language adobe Photoshop CS4 for Mac OSX 10.7.5 ?

Hello,
I am in Germany and need to switch Photoshop to English.
The option is not available in the language preferences (attached screenshot)
I could only find an update for Mac OSX 10.4, but not 10.7?
Please help!
Thanks in advance!

Languages are serial number specific. You cannot change them on the fly. If your serial number supports it, you would have to install it in English. anything beyond that is a hack like stripping the localization files from the app package...

After updating to Firefox 9.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8, Trusteer Rapport for banking has gone. I have reinstalled Rapport but is still missing. How should I do?

Hello. When I was on the internet with previous Firefox, there was Trusteer Rapport (A seurity software for UK banking: http://www.trusteer.com/) icon was still there. However after Firefox gave me an update alart to be 9.0.1 on Mac OSX 10.6.8 today and after I followed the update in this early evening, Trusteer Rapport is gone. I have re-installed the latest Trusteer Rapport and re-launched Firefox for several times, however, it is still missing. The Trusteer Rapport is a required security software to log in to the secure banking websites such as RBS, NatWest and HSBC (UK) etc and also it validates web security for Paypal and eBay by the Trusteer Rapport icon on Firefox, therefore I require. How should I do? I have none of other additional add-on/plug-in installed, because previous Firefox has crashed by a conflict of Trusteer Rapport and Nectar Yahoo Toolbar before. If it was a bug, please fix it asap please. Thank you.

Thank you for your sincere help John.
Yes it works again now after; I uninstalled Raport by Rapport utility, cleaned Rapport folders in system, re-installed the latest Rapport, activated at system preference, re-stated computer and then re-launched Firefox 9.0.1!
Thank you again for your help, now it is solved .#)

Lost Remote Sharing Connection When Installing iWork, Now it Won't Install

Hi everyone,
I have a new Macbook Air and I was installing iWork on it remotely from my iMac. Everything was working fine and then my iMac went to sleep in the middle of the install. This then stopped the remote sharing and the installation of iWork on my Macbook Air.
Now, when I restart and try and install, it isn't working. It only goes so far and then just hangs for a really long time. It gets to the 'Installation' section and then just says 'Waiting for other installations to complete'. Obviously there are no other installations happening, but it won't move past this point.
Does anyone know if there's any way of getting it to work, or if there's something it's part put on the Macbook Air that I should delete to get this to work?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Deleting Boot Camp partitions the conventional way will not work . You must use the Boot Camp Assistant to remove a Boot Camp partition. Here is a link to the guide.
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf
The way to restart is to hold down the option/alt key during startup* and then selecting the Mac OS. If you have a valid Boot Camp install of Windows it would show up during this type of start up.
* hold down immediately after pressing the power button and until the OS choice screen appears.
To summarize.
1 Use the above method to boot into Mac OS.
2 Download the instructions and read them.
3 Use Boot Camp Assistant to remove the partition.
4 Pick your friends more carefully.
