Can Mac OS 10.2 support my G3 Wallstreet without the need of a hitch?

I have an old G3 Wallstreet, 250 MHz with full RAM. I want to upgrade its OS to Mac OSX. What is the highest Mac OSX support my G3 WS without the need of Xfacor, something like that? I installed Mac OS 10.2 a few times unsuccessfully. Its screen became gray and mosaic. I do not mind to have Mac OS 9.2.2. before installing Mac OSX.
I very much appreciate your advice.
Robert

Robert,
Neither a dead main battery or dead PRAM battery will affect the stability of your powerbook. The PRAM battery (internal rechargeable backup battery) has a different purpose than the PRAM battery on a desktop machine. This article describes how it performs:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24801?viewlocale=en_US
Many powerbook owners will continue to use their laptops with a dead PRAM battery either because they are unaware of its condition or they just don't want to spend the time and money to replace it. Unlike a desktop computer, a powerbook will run just fine without it. You only have a problem if the PRAM battery develops an internal short and then the powerbook will not start or exhibit any sign of activity or life.
I would run two tests on your Wallstreet to see if you have a problem with RAM or the HD; both tests are run in 9.x.
-Download 'Newer Gauge Pro 1.1' to check your RAM. After installing this utility, reboot to 9.x while pressing the shift key (release key when you see 'extensions off') to minimize the amount of RAM that is used by the OS. You might let it loop for an hour or so to make sure it gets a thorough test.

-Next, boot to your 9.x CD > open the Utilities folder on the CD > launch Drive Setup > select Test Disk from the dropdown menu. This is a non-destructive test and will take time since it reads/writes to each sector. If it finds a problem, you will want to reinitialize the HD using the option to zero all data, then run Test Disk again. Repeat one more time (zeroing) if the first attempt fails. If it still fails, replace the HD. I can't recall if Test Disk tests each partition separately or will test the whole HD...you will discover the answer to this. If the HD needs zeroing, zero the whole HD, then recreate the necessary partitions. You can fing all the necessary info for Drive Setup in Drive Setup Help once it is launched.

  • HT201358 Can ARD3 work with the Active Directory setup on a Windows machine and without the need of Open Directory

    We need the 'Golden Triangle' setup to work with ARD3 running on a Mac server with client Mac details retrieved from a Windows Active Directory. In this system, the ARD3 will be used to install packages from a Mac OS X server, where the client Mac list is gathered directly from a Windows Active Directory, which is already in place.
    So, please guide me whether Apple Remote Desktop 3 is capable of getting client machine details from an Active Directory without the need of re-creating the client Mac list in the Mac server running ARD3.
    If ARD3 can not be used in this case, do you recommend any other tools that can resolve our issue.
    Thank you in advance.
    Sudheesh.

    ARD cannot directly obtain client information from Active Directory, no. It may be possible to create a script that would get such information and be able to put it into ARD, but I wouldn't begin to know how to write such a script. You may also be able to bind your OS X Server to ARD and create groups there. This article is obsolete for 10.6 or later but may provide some clues as to how to proceed:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24276
    There are a number of third-party systems that can manage Macs that may be able to draw information from AD, such as Casper, LANDesk, and others. Which if any would meet your needs depends on many factors including how many devices you need to manage, whether you're looking for a cross-platform tool, your budget, etc. This is a difficult issue to address in a forum like this since there are so many variables to be considered.

  • I have an ipod touch 4g. I want to use our internet hdtv as a monitor so others can see my screen in 40". Sony guy said that can do it wirelessly through the internet router instead of Hdmi without the need for an apple tv.Is this true and how do I do it?

    As I said above, I want to view my iPod screen on our new 40" Sony Internet full HD TV.
    I know that you can do this via HDMI but a Sony guy said that you should be able to do this wirelessly by going through the router. Is this true and can I do this without the need for the Apple TV?
    We are soon going to get the airport extreme, so will it work with that?

    1. Is it a smart TV?
    2. If so.... Is the TV connected to the Internet?
    3. If it is.... Check if your iPod and your TV share the same IP address (Wi-Fi network)
    4. If they do.... Then you should go to wherever your "Other Media" tab is.
    5. After that.... Search for you iPod. Because it is connected to the same network, it should recognize the device they same way AirPrint does.
    6. If you happen to see this fail, then try this method:
    1. Do you have a Bluetooth-enabled computer/laptop?
    2. If so.... Enable the bluetooth on the computer/laptop as well as your iPod.
    3. After that.... Your iPod should be actively searching and it should find the computer/laptop.
    4. If it did.... Transfer the file onto Windows/Mac (preferably Mac) and find the program to open the file.
    5. After doing so.... Connect your computer/laptop to the TV via HDMI Output Cable.
    6. Now it should work!

  • I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.

    I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.
    at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
    Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
    I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.

    You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
    Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
    If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
    Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
    Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
    To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
    You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)].

  • I was lately downlaoding a 700mb file, but i lost the internet connection and i have the .part file and i cant click resume, is their any way that i can continue dowlaoding the file without the need redownloading from the begining?

    I do not know if your file can be recovered.  But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease.  If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio.  However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process.

  • How can i do a factory reset in snow leopard without the disk to start off new without losing my other programs

    how can i do a factory reset on snow leopard without the disk to start off new without losing my programs?

    You can't. You will need a Snow Leopard disc. You can purchase replacements for your computer from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Apple - Support - Contact Apple Support.
    A "factory reset" means you erase the drive securely. All of your files will be removed permanently. I suggest you make a backup:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

  • How can I delete an iCloud account on my iPhone without the password?

    How can I delete an iCloud account on my phone without being able to enter the password?
    The account on my phone is linked to an old email adress that no longer exists and won't accept any of my passwords (although, this account did accept a pasword several days ago to restore my old phone to it's original settings but it won't accept that password anymore...)
    I can't change the password because the first security questions asks for my birthday which it won't accept.
    HELP!

    If your device is signed into your old iCloud ID and you are trying to change it to your current ID, and if the old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, go tohttps://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can i find out serial no of torch 9800 without the phone.

    How do I find out serial no of my torch 9800 without the physical phone ( is it in the packaging to the brand new phone?) so that I can report it being stolen and alert anyone buying a stolen hanset in 2nd hand Market. Who should I report it having been stolen after repotted it having been stolen to the police.

    Your cell carrier would have a record of it. They might even blacklist the phone so nobody else can use it.
    Give them a call to see what they will do for you.

  • I bought an iPod 5 on ebay, it's iCloud locked, how can I remove it from original owners Apple ID without the owners information?

    I bought an iPod on eBay, without knowing that it was iCloud locked. I contacted the seller and he said he bought it iCloud locked, and did not know the original Apple ID or password. Is there a way I can remove the iPod from the original owners ID without the original owners information?

    The only way is to have the AppleID and password of the ptrvious owner.
    Without that information, it is totally worthless to you. think iPod shaped brick,
    Return it to eBay and ask for a refund.
