Booting OS 9 problems

I wanted to play old games on my iBook G3 (OS10.4) so I decided to install 9.1. I don't want to run the games in classic mode and prefer to boot in 9.1. This is what I've done:
Copied a folder with all the files needed to the top level (not in the system folder)
Went to Sytem preferences, Startup Disk, Selected "system 9.1 on iBook" (that's how it was described in the pane) and restarted.
Now the disk icon with a flashing question mark stares at me.
Unfortunately, I can't find the original OS 10 CDs.
What can I do in order to boot in OS 10.4?
How should I install 9.1 to boot from it?
How can I create a bootable OS10.4 CD?
Help very much appreciated.
PS: I restarted with the option key held down but it only shows the OS 9.1 disk icon.

Try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
If this works you will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, try to restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say? If it says "Verified," you should be in good shape, as far as the hard drive is concerned, at least.
Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
See if you are able to do a little hard drive maintenance to help things out.

MacBook Pro does not boot when 'cold', Windows 7 on the other hand boots without any problem

Hey everyone,
I have a strange problem with my MacBook Pro mid 2009 13" running OSX Mavericks. For more than a year I have trouble booting my laptop. A 'cold' start (a fresh boot) usually ends with the prohibition sign on a grey back ground (starting in verbose mode results in the error message that the main drive could not be found). So far so strange.
I have Windnows 7 installed as a bootcamp partition. If I start the laptop with Windows booting is no problem and Windows runs smoothly (what a terrible world we live in). If I let the laptop run for let say 10 minutes and restart the laptop Mac OS starts without any problems. (It doesn't work if I immediately restart after windows booted; also reinstalling Mac OS as a clean install from an external medium did not change the problem; disk utility always finds something to repair but neither discpermission repair nor disk repair got rid of the problem).
As an additional comment a WD 500GB Scorbio Blue replaced the original hard drive about a years ago. I had no problems with the hard drive initally and I can't really believe that there is a problem with the hardware, I mean, why does Windows start and Mac OS doesn't?
Thanks for your time and help!
Marco

This isn't a direct answer to your issue but have you considered installing Wine so you can run the occasional windows app directly in OSX? It's a much more elegant solution IMHO. This avoids restarting all the time with Bootcamp and avoids crashing all the time (and the security risks) with Windows running.

If GTA IV believes the system is under specification even though the computer is powerful enough to run the game with higher settings, the following will fix this problem.
This will work if your problem looks like this: "resource usage 230/60" and you can't change any other setting
Just follow the steps:
Step 1: Create a text file named ‘commandline.txt’ (without the " ")
Step 2: Put the following statement inside it:
i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 (with the -)
i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0 (with the -)
Step 3: Open the main GTAIV folder (C/ program files (86)/ rockstar games/ GTA IV) and copy the commandline.txt file into it.
Step 4: locate the file "GTAIV.exe" (in GTA main folder)
Right click the file and select Properties
Under the shortcut tab, you will see an area that says Target
Modify the Target adding the command line after the last quotation mark (just add the statement you added in commandline.txt)
(remember, i5 users: -availablevidmem 18.0 / i7 users: -availablevidmem 22.0)
It should look something like this:
Make sure to add space between " and -"
I hope This helps, although late cx

Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I chose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the sreen showing that it is starting, but few second after I get a black screen

Just installed windows 7 Ultimate using Boot Camp. Problem is when I choose to boot the windows partition, I get the windows icon on the screen showing that it is starting, but few second after, I get a blank screen. I suspect a driver (screen) issue, since I also installed Parallell using the boot camp partition and that works fine.
Do anybody out there has an ideal of what to do to solve this issue.
Thanks

Boot and Reliability Problem

Greetings,
In August 2008 I bought my first Mac and ever since have trouble with it. I already contacted Apple Support, Sonnet Support, Lacie Support, still there is no solution on the table.
I thought, before I have the maschine picked up I give it a shot in these fora.
My configuration:
Mac Pro 3.0Ghz, 16 Gig, 4x 750 Gig HD internal, 3x 1TB external (Time capsule, 2x Lacie quadra), Sonnet E4P.
My main problems:
1. Noise level:
The maschine emits a humming noise, intervalling up and down, probably located where the PSU is installed (decibel meter check). The noise is clearly audble, even over the AHT noise of the fans speeding up. The resonance can be felt if a hand is put on the chassis.
I asked friends with similiar maschines, and none of them reports this extremly annoying hum. I checked the HD sleds, all sits tight.
I assume this is only able to be resolved by sending the maschine to service.
2. Boot and Reliability Problems:
If my Mac is out over night, and on booting it up in the morning, it takes around 6-7 minutes until boot cycle is complete. If I am not mistaken, this should be more in the region of 30 seconds.
Up until recently, after boot OSX did not find a harddrive, but I solved this, the reason was that the useless dealer I bought it from formatted one internal drive as MS-DOS FAT, go figure.
However, I need to run a RAID-0 via OSX, and will exchange the WD Caviar SE for WD 1TB RE3 for that purpose. I am also having trouble with my xternal Lacie Drives on Sonnet E4P, but I send system logs and reports to Sonnet still waiting on their answer.
Would it be correct to assume that less than one minute is a more appropriate boot up time?
Does anyone else around here have this noise problem I described?

Good evening The Hatter,
yeah, I studied a couple of those threads and tried to apply findings. Tell me, you say you have your MCP on the side, does that not cause problems for the DVD drive and/or other parts. The MCP does not look as if it is designed to lay on it's side.
I tried to de couple the chassis from the floor with heavy carpet underlay, still the same. I am not fuzzy, but this sound is really disturbing in a quiet environment, and I often need it quiet when I work on photographs. I left the case open, I pushed the lever half way up, nothing resolved that.
Allow me to ask you something else, you seem to have a lot of Mac years under your belt, would you think my boot problems can come from a dodgy OSX installation? The dealer I bought it from in August installed everything, but has proven to be rather incompetent and very sloppy. The first few weeks, on 10.54, I had probably 8-10 kernel crashes, which stopped after 10.5.5 and so far only occurs when I use sleep mode, hence I can;t use it anymore.
The pain in the butt is that I probably would be best advised to do a complete clean install, hence have to authorise all my software again. - Sigh - I intend to wait with that until i received new HD's.
Best wishes

Sony D-50 "boot-up loop" problem

I have a Sony D-50 portable recorder barely three months old that did something totally strange. Has anyone else had this problem?
During a shoot yesterday, I noticed that the Sony D50 I bought back in August would not turn OFF.
When I moved the power switch to the OFF position, the machine went into a "boot up loop," that is:
I'd turn it OFF after recording.
Screen goes black.
I get the "See you!" message.
Screen lights up again.
The word "SONY" appears as though it's gonna boot up,
Then the whole process starts over again
Screen goes black.
I get the "See you!" message.
Screen lights up.
The word "SONY" appears as though it's gonna boot up....
So, same thing late last night.
I get up this morning and turn it ON; it works fine until I turn it off, then it goes back into the "boot loop" thing again.
I tried everything I could think of, even searching for a "RESET" on the machine and in the Menu. I finally had to take the batteries out of it to shut it down.
Then, I did something that apparently---so far---fixed it.
This is so strange---right out of the Twilight Zone:
I put the batteries back in it, then it starts the loop again.
Since it won't turn OFF, I take the batteries out of it in the OFF position. I wait five minutes and put the batteries back in it with it in the OFF position.
Same problem---the "boot up loop" thing.
I take the batteries back out of it again in the OFF position and wait fifteen minutes. I put the batteries back in it while it's still in the OFF position. Guess what?
Problem solved: It's doesn't start the "boot up loop" thing.
So, I turn it back ON. Machine boots up fine and is ready to record.
OK, I turn it OFF.
Back to the exact same problem---It shuts down and goes into the "boot up loop" again.
I go back through the same process of removing and installing the batteries with the machine in the OFF position.
Nothing changes.
Then, I have an idea.
With the machine in the OFF position and going through the "boot up loop" thing, I remove the batteries.
I then move the power switch to the ON position before I put the batteries back in it---had not tried that before: reinstalling the batteries with it in the ON position. I install the batteries with the machine in the ON position.
Machine boots up fine and is ready for recording.
Now, I turn it OFF.
The machine shuts down fine with no "boot up loop" problem.
Putting the batteries back in the machine with it in the ON position instead of the OFF position apparently solved the problem.
So, I turn it back ON and then OFF several times.
Same thing: No "boot up loop" problem.
Do-do-Do-do....
The machine now works fine.
Anyone ever had this happen to a Sony D-50?
I'm wondering if I should send it to back to Sony before it does this again. For God's sake, it's only three months old!
I bought it after rave reviews in the "recorder" community, and I haven't found anyone else who has had this problem with one..

Sorry to see that you were having this issue with your PCM-D50 Linear PCM Recorder - if you continue having the issue the unit may need service - give Sony Business and Professional team a call and they will be happy to assist:

Multiple sudden booting and other problems: Help!

I have experienced a sudden problem that makes me afraid to shut down my iMac until I sort it out. I have had it for five wonderful, flawless years.
When I tried to boot today, four times it would not. I got to the grey Apple screen and a processing "clock," but it would not go beyond that in any reasonable time. I finally left it running trying to boot. It did eventually, but glacially slow. Then, there was a message that: "!You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OSX can read. To continue with the disk inserted, click ignore." However, I had NO "disk inserted."
More wierdness followed.
I tried to insert a memory stick to backup my hard drive, and got the same "disk containing no volumes that Mac OSX can read" message. This is the same stick onto which I have previously backed up with no problem.
I then tried to run my McAfee virus scan, but wanetd to update it first. It does not appear to update, even though it says that it is doing so. The starting message continues to say that I last updated months ago. The Virus scan did, however, apparently run using whatever version it actually had in it, and reported only 2 noncritical errors.
I then tried to run Disk Utility, and it won't launch. I "bounces" up an down in the Dock, but then just closes.
I then opened iMail, and all the previous messages showed as unread, even though they actually all were read.
So, I almost could not boot, get a weird "unreadable disk" message, can't get the drive to recognize a memory stick in order to back up to it, can't update my Virus protection, can't run Disk Utility and am getting weird iMail .
Other things seem to be working okay, although sometimes very slowly.
What's going on, and what do I do?
Separate question: I want to insert a disk into my CD tray to use as a startup disk if I encounter another booting problem. Which CD do I use? Mac OSX Install Disk 1? Mac OSX Install Disk 2? (I think all the Software Restore disks include applications other than the OSX.
Final question: how do I get the CD tray to open on the front my iMac (the "tongue" type tray out of the round base) if I have another booting problem, so that I can insert a disk to use for startup?
HELP! (thanks)

Ali,
Sorry for being slow to respond. I have been trying to get things fixed with Repair Disk.
To answer your question first, my hard drive is 74.52 GB, with 55.59GB available, so I don't think that's the problem.
Quite a few things (but not everything) work once the hard drive boots, which is VERY VERY slow. However, any other media I try to use to backup (Memory sticks, CDs) can't be recognized. I get the "disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read" messae. The CD's also produced a message when I tried to name them of an "unexpected error."
I followed your repair instructions, but it did not solve the problem. The Repair Disk effort produced an error message under "Checking catalog file" of "Keys out of order." I ran Repair Disk multiple times (at least 10x), but the same message kept coming up. I also tried running Repair Permissions, which took about four hours to run. Repair Disk produced the same error message.
I also found an older Discussion string of messages about application Chess (installed with the basic Mac install disks) being corrupted. I trashed it. No difference.
That message string also talked about some people having problems after installing iTunes 6.0.2, but I am running 7.0.2, and it has been on the computer about two weeks beforre any of this started.
I will try Sherry Johnson's suggestions next.
thanks for your help.

Boot camp / partition problems, hard drive damaged?

I was in the middle of using boot camp to allocate 13gb to windows when my macbook pro crashed (the crash screen with the turn off and restart text came up), then when i restarted and ran boot camp it said that my harddrive couldn't be partitioned and to repair it using disk utility. I ran that, but the repair disk is greyed out, the repair permissions doesn't have any effect and when i clicked verify disk it says;
"Disk utility stopped verifying macintosh hd because the following error was encountered filesystem verify or repair failed"
and the log is
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Performing live verification.
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
Invalid volume free block count
(It should be 15200369 instead of 11898629)
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.
Can you help me out? It's essential i get a number of windows products running.

Ok, that seemed to work for part of the problem.
It repaired the disk but whenever I run boot camp it keeps throwing up that crash screen and i have to go through the process of repairing the disk again.
I've ran boot camp with no other programs running in the background or open and without disturbing it while it's allocating the partition and it still crashes.
Any ideas how to get it working?

HP 6730s - Boot & USB ports problems

Hi
I'm having some problems with my HP6730s.
1. First problem I noticed is that if I keep it running for a long period of time, 2 UBS ports (right side, near DVD drive) stop working and Windows keeps informing me about malfunctioning devices if I have any device connected to those ports. Since I usually have a wireless receiver for my Logitech connected to one of those ports, I can't get rid of the error not even if I disconnect it. The only thing that works is to turn off the laptop and remove the power cable for 30-60 minutes. This makes me think those USB ports don't get enough power.
2. I seem to be having problems when I'm trying to boot up using a Linux CD/DVD/USB. I insert the media I wan't to boot up from and I can see the DVD Drive/USB led flickering and then it stops. The Caps led starts flickering and that's it. I have to force shut down so that I can boot up again. At first I thought that it's the media I'm trying to boot up from or the BIOS settings but then I noticed that sometimes it boots up and sometimes it doesn't. I manage to boot up Ubuntu CD after 10 tryouts. openSUSE(11.xx)(the distro I need & use) is very problematic. LiveCDs won't boot up and install DVDs will simply hang on boot. If by any chance I manage to boot it up it pops out a error message and it forces me into failsafe boot/install. I also managed to install openSUSE once but it failed to auto configure videocard so I got stuck in text mode. Trying to manually install ATI drivers failed because it was unable to detect the video card. Same thing happened in Windows when I tried to upgrade the driver using the one on AMD website.
I bought the laptop in January 2009 and in December 2010 I replaced the battery.
I'm now running Windows 7 Professionas SP1 x64 up to date Also, HP Tools is up to date and I used to test the laptop for hardware issues and nothing was found. I also tested the video card and everything seamd to be fine.

I found out what's causing this but not how to fix it. I can only prevent it.
It seams that if you keep the device plugged in too much, those ports won't get enough power.
The best way to prevent this is to remove the battery when you keep the device plugged in and to also remove it when you turn it off.
I noticed this won't happen if I keep the device plugged in and ON for a long period of time but only if I keep it plugged in when turned off and if I also keep the battery inside.
But this will only fix the USB problem, not the Linux boot one.
What is you problem, exactly? Also, have you found a solution?

Boot camp, trackpad problem with windows 8.1

Hello everyone,
I started to use windows 8.1 on my mac pro (13-inch, retina, late 2013)
The problem is that none of the trackpad gestures are working.
My keyboard lighting also does not work. My all drivers are installed and up to date.
How can I fix this problem?

There are two things to check.
1. Control Panel -> Boot Camp -> Trackpad tab. Here is an example.
2. You have two different drivers.
Device Manager > Human Interface Devices > Apple Multitouch version 5.0.2.0
- It says Up to date and I've reinstalled the device to fix the problem, it did not work
Device Manager > Human Interface Devices > Apple Multitouch Mouse version 4.0.3.0
- It says Up to date and I've reinstalled the device to fix the problem, it did not work
Do you have both, a Trackpad and a Magic/Mighty Mouse paired to the same Mac?
On a 13" 2012 MBP with W8.1 this is what I have installed. Your list should be similar.

HELP! Strange Boot / Start Up Problem on iBook G4 - Any NEW ideas?

Hi everyone,
a bit information first: My early 2003 iBook G4/1Ghz has been working flawlessly all the time, been well operator maintenanced and updated regulary and gave me no real problems so far. Am working with it daily in the office and on trips.
Now, out of a blue sky, I face a weird, very stubborn boot problem after a sudden freeze/hang that enforced a hard restart a couple of days ago.
It won't go beyond the splash gray screen or sometimes the Apple Logo w/ spinning gear on start up. Safe Mode booting does not work either, no repairs are done obviously, it just keeps running for ever in "spinning mode" (HD sounds normal, though).
Tried all tricks, like PRAM reset, all peripherals disconnected, different start up modes e.g. into single user mode, won't work, no console appears.
Then -- sometimes after a night/few hours of rest -- it seems to boot perfectly fine to the desktop, all seems "normal", the HD appears, Dock, Programs, ... System Profiler didn't give me ANY useful hints to hardware or SW-related problem. Even the HD-S.M.A.R.T. info was NORMAL. Checked that, too!
After some minutes of seemingly normal conditions (about 10 to 20), I suddenly tend to get another of these really nasty hangs/freezes where no key combination will get you out, where no Apple Menu is accessable -> forces me to do a hard restart or shut off with the power button :-(( Same re-boot problem after that! (gray screen only, of course)
NOTE: Command-C boot from the CD Original Install Disc is possible, BUT when I try to launch Disk Utility to check/repair the HD, the internal drive DOES NOT show up in the list! Same problem occurs even with the great tool Disk Warrior that usally fixes almost ANY HD directory related problem
• What could be the cause of this weird no-boot behavior?
• Maybe an inconsistent damaged boot sektor on the HD?
• Could I still acces it with any disk tools for testing/repairing?
• Did I miss a trick to boot into some repair/testing routine?
• How could I acess the HD maybe in slave mode to at least access my precious data?
• Other good ideas to get me out of the nerve wrecking dilemma?
Your ideas and suggestions are very welcome and much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

iBook G4 / G4 Dual 1,25 GHz / 1.5 GB RAM / iPod video (5G) Mac OS X (10.3.9) "An Apple A Day Keeps The PC Away!"

If you haven't already try resetting the PMU. This is done by pressing ControlShift+OptionPower Button.
Perform an Archive and Install: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
Backup your data and perform an Erase and Install
After doing either of the install steps, let the machine run for a bit to see what happens. Then perform software updates (repair permissions after each major update). Then reinstall your applications one by one, just in case one of them is the culprit.
Use the Apple Hardware Test disc that came with you machine.
If you come to the last point then chances are you'll need to send it in for repairs, as it will most likely point to a hardware issue once all the software has been ruled out.
Also, here is a link on how to use Target Disc mode in case your able to transfer your data.

Boot camp upgrade problem from 3.0 to 3.1

Hi
I have a macbook pro 2.66 dual duo with 4 gig of ram and OS X 10.6 latest update. I started Boot Agent and created the parition and then installed windows 7. That would be I think boot camp 3.0
After I boot into Windows 7, which it does work, I downloaded and tried to do the 3.1 upgrade, but I get a stupid error that 3.0 is not installed.
I did put in the OS X disk while in windows 7 and installed Boot Camp there too.
I get this error when I try to run the BootCamp3.132-bit.exe
" The Boot Camp 3.1 Update requires Boot Camp 3.0 or greater. Please install Boot Camp 3.0 before proceeding with the install of the 3.1 Update. "
Any ideas ?

It really isnt quite that easy. I have had bootcamp 3.0 running for some time and it has been running ok but when I try to run the upgrade to bootcamp 3.1 I the application crashes and generates a windows error report stating that the BCUpdateInstaller quit working:

If anyone knows of a way to remedy this error I would love to hear it.

IMac refuses to boot properly - hardware problem?

Hi all, I'm having some problems with my iMac (purchased last October) and was hoping some kind soul could shed some light.
Here's where I'm at now.
- The iMac doesn't boot. When I press the power button, it chimes, but then nothing happens and I just see the white/grey screen.
- I have disconnected all 3rd party peripherals, and only have original keyboard and mouse attached.
- No matter what keyboard combo I try, nothing happens either. I managed to eject the disc once by pressing the mouse button, but no other key combos work.
- I must have rebooted about 30 times now, and only twice did something happen:
1. Once it sat on the white screen for a bit, and then displayed a grey folder with a questionmark in it, but then nothing else happened.
1. Once I did get it to boot from the CD, and I got to the installation screen. At this stage I tried a couple of different things. First I tried Disk Utility, and the HD is indeed listed in the sidebar (although it's listed as 'disk0s2' rather than 'Macintosh HD'. When I picked the First Aid tab, both Repaid Disk Permissions and Verify Disk Permissions are greyed out (i.e. I can't press them). When I went to press Repair, I got the following error message.
+Verify and Repair disk 'disk0s2'+
+Checking HFS Plus Volume+
+Invalid node structure+
+Invalid record count+
+Catalog file entry not found for extent+
+Volume check failed+
+Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit+
+1 HFS volume checked+
+1 volume could not be repaired because of an error+
So, I could do nothing in Disk Utility. I then thought "well, I'll just surrender then and reinstall OS X", but when I went back to the Install screen and proceeded, and it asked me where to install the OS, there was nothing to choose from. Usually 'Macintosh HD' is listed along with any other disks. Not this time. So, I shut down the computer again, and now I can't back to the screen (i.e. it refuses to boot from the CD again and instead just spits out the disc).
So then I phoned Apple. But because I don't have their service plan (and the free one only lasts 90 days after purchase), he couldn't help much. He did say though that if it spits out the disc, it could be hardware problem, and my warranty would cover it.
So, should I just give up, realise my HD is screwed and my data is gone, and hand it in for service? Or can anyone here shed some more light on my situation?
Even a "yes, you're screwed, hand it in" would suffice, if that's indeed where I am.
Thanks,
Hanna

Thank you, dwb. I did just manage to boot from the DVD again, but again I'm seeing the same problems.

And I have been backing up, but I just got back from vacation, so my last backup is 2 weeks old and the things I was worried about saving was the work I did on my vacation photos and video. Also, you'd be kicking a girl when she's down, which would be even worse.
I think I'll definitely hand it in now, and ask the tech to rescue whatever data he can. I don't care if it costs me a bit, if it means rescuing my vacation photos.
Thanks again, you've been most helpful.

TC takes longer to re-boot; reports a problem; then fixes itself?

I had a lot of problems yesterday with my TC. I lost my internet connection and spent 4 hours working on resetting it and the cable modem so they would communicate.
During that process, and still today, I am finding a slow internet connection. But, the problem I'm writing about here is that when I re-boot the TC it is taking a lot longer than it ever used to in the past. And, once it does boot, the utility pops up that the TC is reporting a problem. When I click continue, it then tells me that the TC is operating as normal.
I did buy this in March 2008 and I see others are having a lot of power problems. Maybe I'm headed down the same path but for now I do have power and an internet connection, albeit a slow one.
Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Bob-Thanks for the response.
When I was originally going through this problem I did do a Factory Default Reset as well as a default reset. My connection works but seems to slow at times. What I did this morning was simply a "restart" using the desktop software and it seems to take a very long time, reports a problem, then fixes itself.
I have left the cable modem unplugged as described.
I gave up on trying to restore my static IP address that worked for about a year as everything had a "meltdown" and I don't have time to play around with it more. Maybe a holiday project. But it's odd that it's acting this way now after the Factory Default Reset. I may try that again just to see if it helps this time around.

Boot camp assistant problems: please help!

ok, so i was running boot camp assistant on my macbook pro (13 inch) and everything was going fine. But when it was partitioning a space for the windows portion it never showed the bootcamp partition icon to the right on my desktop. I didn't know this was a problem until I tried to install the windows on my computer and it would not work because apparently it does not have the ntfs format. I tried it again two more times, both with no applications running. Is there something I am doing wrong?

You should post in the Bootcamp forum where the Bootcamp gurus hang out.

Once again I am thwarted by my slow typing. Follow the advice of rkaufmann87
