Booted to OS 9. Now stuck. Startup Disk doesn't show OS X as a boot option.

i decided in mac osx 10.2 to go into startup disk and select mac os9 instead of going into classic now im stuck in mac os9 when i go into control panel>startup disk all i get is (select a disk to start macintosh HD and my slave partition. but on my imac G3 i get mac os9.0 and mac os9.2.2 please help me i need it

Another way to get there, using the method you expected to work, is to update to a later version of Startup Disk Control Panel. The version you are using does not understand how to boot Mac OS X directly:
TA20415- Mac OS X, Mac OS 9: Use Current Startup Disk Control Panel or Mac OS 9.2.2
a link to download of the latest Startup Disk Control Panel is included in the article. It is compatible with every version of OS 9.

    Almost certainly, some sort of hardware problem on your logic board.

  • My Startup Disk can not show in Finder.

    My Startup Disk can not show in Finder.but it can be used in OSX normally.
    So can I put it back to Finder?

    If the startup disk is for Mac OS 9, neither MacBook nor PowerMac G5 can boot into 9. Only the PowerMac G5 can use Mac OS 9 in Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Classic.
    Please be more detailed what sort of Startup Disk you are talking about, which operating system, and which machine this is a problem with.

  • Startup disk doesn't have enough memory for applications

    I keep getting this message that my startup disk doesn't have enough memory for applications, and advising me to quit apps. Even after a restart I get the same message. I am using only about 10% of my hard drive and I have 4GB or RAM. I have run Disk Utility to repair permissions, I have confirmed that my MacintoshHD is the startup drive, but still keep getting this message. I am running Snow Leopard on a three-year old iMac. What gives?

    Startup disks don't provide memory, RAM modules do. When the machine runs out of usable RAM, it uses disk space for virtual memory. Step one would be to run the Apple Hardware Test program, extended tests, and ensure that your RAM is viable. If the RAM passes those tests, download, and run Rember.

    Please confirm what version of OS X you are running - I doubt it is the ancient OS 10.1 !

  • Seagate ext disk doesn´t show in finder when booting

    Hi there.
    Odd little problem here.
    My Seagate ext disk doesn´t show when I start my iMac. When my iMac is up, the disk has started, but is not yet discovered. I just unplug and reconnect the FW cable, and it shows up right away. Seems like it just dont pick it up in the starting sequence.
    Any ideas?

    I'm guessing it's something to do with the firewire protocol, I'm not sure if there actually a fix for this.
    It could be possible to make an Automator action that would 'search for firewire devices' to run at user login?
    Regards,
    Peter.

  • Since updating my Mac to 10.8.4 any external hard disk doesn't show on Finder sidebar (but shows on desktop). Anyone else have the same problem?

    Since updating my Mac to 10.8.4 any external hard disk doesn't show on Finder sidebar (but shows on desktop). Anyone else have the same problem?
    It's annoying because now I can't use Finder sidebar for drag and drop to thumb drive etc.
    Thanks for your thoughts and help!

    Hi Barney-15E,
    Thanks for your reply and suggestions!
    It is set to show on the sidebar in Finder prefs and I tried toggling the setting multiple times but it didn't fix anything.
    I went into Preferences (I'm Administrator) but the strange thing is I don't see com.apple.sidebarlists.plist anywhere in the folder. Not sure what that means..

  • Mac OS X Install Disk doesn't show up

    I forgot my original administrative password on my old Power Mac G5. My family has many macs so we have many Mac OS X Install disks. The disks that i have found say "iMac (Mac OS X Install)" on them. I am wondering if, even though it says iMac, it will work to reset the password, or if that is the reason the disk doesn't show up. I have tried putting the disks in, holding "c" and that doesn't work, and when I hold "Option" the only thing that shows up is the Macintosh HD.

  • I'm trying to set up time machine to back up on an external HD connected t my airport extreme, but the disk doesn't show as an option in the time machine selecting a disk, any suggestion anyone? My mac "sees" the airport extreme   ??

    I'm trying to set up time machine to back up on an external HD connected t my airport extreme, but the disk doesn't show as an option in the time machine selecting a disk, any suggestion anyone? My mac "sees" the airport extreme   ??

    The first important thing to consider here is that Apple does not support Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port on the AirPort Extreme, so that may likely have something to do with your difficulties.
    If you want to continue to try this, the drive must be formatted in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and you almost always have to use a powered USB hub with a drive at the port of the Extreme...even if the hard drive has its own power supply....because the port on the Extreme is under powered.
    Most users who try this unsupported method have corruption difficulties sooner or later, but we do hear from some users who seem to be able to make it work.
    The bottom line is that there is no support from Apple on this if you have difficulties, so you may want to consider a secondary backup plan for your important data.

  • OSX not listed in Vista Boot Camp Control Panel as a Startup Disk

    When I go to the Boot Camp Control Panel in Vista, OSX is not listed as a startup disk option, only Windows is. Also if I right click the Boot Camp icon in the tray and choose "Restart in MAC OS X" that does not work.
    Vista Ultimate is installed on a separate physical disk on my Mac Pro. In OS X both operating systems show up as target disks. Both show up as an option when I hold the option key when rebooting.
    AppleCare had me re-install BootCamp in vista from the OSX cd and then run the Apple Check for Updates program (none found). This had no effect.
    So this mainly just an inconvenience. This inconvenience prevents me from using non apple keyboards as they don't have an option key or enable be to program the keyboard to the same. And since I have some minor apple blue tooth keyboard/mouse problems under Vista, I would like to be able to use another keyboard/mouse.

    I have the same problem not seeing OS X as a startup or restart option in Boot Camp. I'm using Vista 64 in Boot Camp on a 2008 Mac Pro.

  • Startup Disk doesn't detect my windows partition

    I installed Leopard and used bootcamp to install windows vista ultimate (32-bit). All was working well, switching from os x to vist using the startup disk. I then installed MacFUSE and ntfs-3g. Everything was working fine.
    I then decided to get rid of MacFUSE and ntfs-3g. After doing so I could not see my windows partition on finder and Disk Utility was unable to unmount the drive. I tried booting using the Leopard install disk and used that start up to boot into Windows and that worked without any problems.
    So I went back to OS X and reinstalled MacFUSE and ntfs-3g. I can access my windows partition again but it does not appear on Startup Disk. I used Disk Utility to verify the partition and this is what I get:
    Verifying volume “disk0s3”
    ** No NTFS file system checks have been implemented yet.
    ** Reporting that the volume is fine without checking anything.
    Verify and Repair volume “disk0s3”
    ** /usr/local/bin/ntfsfix has been disabled because of volume corruption issues.
    ** If you still want to try fixing your volume, use /usr/local/bin/ntfsfix from the command line...
    Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
    Any ideas?

    Disk Utility wasn't designed or tested to know enough to repair NTFS, even with NTFS-3g and MacFuse, but you might want to track down the web page and feedback.
    I saw today that Paragon has a program to read/write to NTFS. If you want something reliable and that has support, check it out.

  • Windows disk doesn't show up in Startup Disk -- only on reboot w/option key

    Greetings,
    I installed Windows XP on a separate SATA drive, and all is well with it. But it doesn't show up as an option in Startup Disk. The only way I can boot from it is to Restart and hold the option key down. Its icon DOES show up in the "choose disk" screen that follows.
    Another user posted the same problem here, and someone suggested zapping the PRAM. I did this, allowing it to cycle through four times, but it didn't help.
    Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,

  • Startup Disk Doesn't Shut Down All The Way (restart required)

    Is anyone experiencing problems using the Startup Disk in System Preferences?
    95% of the time all my system does is close all applications, including the Finder, and then pause with my desktop picture, no mouse and no choice to try anything. I have to press and hold the power button to restart and when it does it doesn't start on the disk I asked for...
    When it works it works as it should, but mostly it doesn't at all. Any ideas?

    Leopard should be a more efficient operating system than Tiger and thus everything should work slightly faster, if not a lot faster.
    In every version of OS X, improved speed is largely the result of caching more data. Hopefully, it is obvious that creating the caches initially takes substantial time, & that updating them may also do so if there have been substantial changes to what should be cached.
    This could be done on the 'back end' before shutdown, on the 'front end' after restart occurs, or with a combination of both techniques. From what I can tell, Tiger uses mostly the 'front end' approach, which makes for quick shutdowns but sometimes long startup times. Leopard seems to favor the reverse, doing what cache housekeeping it can before shutting down.
    For me, this usually results in quicker overall restart times with Leopard, especially after doing anything that requires much cache maintenance. I guess your mileage may vary....

    Hi.
    It's not bug, it's a feture. :)
    show-disks show available controlles, that can have connected disk.
    For create alias you should manualy add what disks exactly you want use.
    disk0 /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@0/scsi@0/disk@0
    disk1 /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@0/scsi@0/disk@1
    disk2 /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@0/scsi@0/disk@2
    disk3 /pci@0,600000/pci@0/pci@0/scsi@0/disk@3
    Generaly this aliases alredy created at POST.
    Check output of devalias
