Can no longer boot to OS 9 with Mirrored Door Dual processor G4?

Hope someone can put me out of my misery...
I've been running my Mirrored Door (MDD) Dual G4 for years and have always booted into OS 9, but today, the Mac has decided to boot to OSX.
From the Startup Disk Control panel in OSX, I have selected the OS9 system folder as the startup system, but after a restart, OSX still loads. However, on a restart, I notice that I get a quick OS 9 smiley face along with the question mark before it boots into OSX.
The thing is that when OSX is up and running, I can start Classic manually and OS runs OK so I presume the OS 9 Sytem Folder is OK.
Is there something I can do to get the boox booting back to OS9?
Thanks in advance.

Hi-
You may need to repair your OS 9 volume, or, may need to rebless the OS 9 system folder.
Follow the instructions for OS 9 in this document.

  • Can no longer boot into Mavericks 10.9.5

    My problem is that I can no longer boot into Mavericks 10.9.5 on my mid-2012 Macbook Pro.  The problem arose suddenly without any known major changes to my software or hardware.  The booting process freezes with the apple visible and the circle below it spinning endlessly.  Every several seconds, the display very briefly gets brighter, then the circle starts spinning again and the process repeats itself.  It never gets to the user login screen.
    Other than keeping various apps up to date, I don't recall any recent major operating system or other major software updates, nor have I made any recent hardware changes.  I've searched a multitude of threads and and tried any number of fixes without success.  Here's what I've tried so far (and probably a few more that I can't remember): (1) Repaired the startup disk with both Recovery HD -> Disk Utility and single-user mode -> /sbin/fsck -fy; (2) Repaired the startup disk permissions with Recovery HD -> Disk Utility; (3) Reloaded the Mavericks 10.9.5 operating system twice; (4) deleted /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist; (5) reset PRAM and NVRAM; (6) booted with "D" pressed and ran the Apple hardware test, which ran for about 40 minutes and reported no problems; (7) tried booting from a bootable clone of Mavericks 10.9.5 on an external hard drive, which also failed at the same place with the apple showing and the circle below it spinning endlessly.  ***Oddly, I am able to boot from a bootable clone of Mountain Lion on an external hard drive.  It's Mavericks that won't boot.***
    Here is the part of the system log the repeats itself over and over and seems to correlate with the repeated failed attempts to complete the booting process.  Any help would be appreciated beyond words:

    Hi
    You got a prob I think, if you can boot a windows, MSconfig, startup options might restore the boot files.Only other thing is to try and either load a new windows and let it setup a boot file, or perhaps a win98 startup disk, and fdisk, then set active partiton, which will set an MBR.  But that would leave a load of work to do, I think I'd opt for an install of XP, and let it repair existing installation, and make a new boot file.
    Hope you don't need the info on disks.  If you do, I would install another HDD, load XP, then copy original Disk to save place.
    Good luck

  • Can no longer boot to MacOSX after bootcamp install

    Hello all, I have an issue to where I can no longer boot into the Mac OSX partition after what appears to be a failed Windows bootcamp install. As I was running the bootcamp assistant process, a reboot occurred and I was greeted with the "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key". I have no idea how to get past this and boot back to OSX.
    Things I have tried:
    Holding down the "option" key does nothing, even using a USB keyboard
    Resetting PRAM (CMD + OPT + P + R) does nothing, even with USB keyboard
    I have put in a MAC OSX 10.7 Disk and cannot boot to disk using CMD + C on startup
    I also pulled the hard drive out and connected it to another PC and wiped the drive completely. I put it back in the macbook and I am still presented with this error. It seems, even though I get the Mac startup tone, that it is stuck in which ever OS it tried to run previously, that being Windows. Not sure why I am still receiving this error even after wiping the drive completely clean.
    As far as hardware goes, I am pretty sure its a late 2010 Alumn. Macbook Pro. I cant get the current model number since I cant boot the OS. Any help is appreciated.

    Please reset SMC as well.
    You can get the serial number from the back cover and use https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do to find the model.

  • Can no longer connect to the internet with the 580...

    Hi, my PC was able to connect to the internet with my 5800 via a USB cable.  Now, I can no longer connect to the internet with the 5800 via a USB cable. 
    I had never tried connecting the computer to the internet with the 5800 via Bluetooth prior to this incident, so I tried that.  Strangely, it works.  
    My question is how come I can no longer use the 5800 via USB as a modem, but how come the 5800 via Bluetooth still works as a working modem?
    Sorry, if my sentences are confusing.  I have a terrible headache at the moment.  While the Bluetooth connection works, I just feel better using the USB connection and knowing that my 5800 has a clean bill of health. 
    BTW, my PC is on Windows 7 Professional at the moment.  I've tried uninstalling the Ovi Suite and reinstalling it, but that didn't work.  I've also tried using PC suite instead of the Ovi Suite but that didn't work either.  What other options do I have, beside hard resetting the phone?  Thanks in advance.        
    Edit: BTW, the message shown when I tried to connect to the internet with the 5800 USB modem was "failed to establish a network connection". 
    Solved!

  • I can no longer find my apple TV with my iTunes, need to pair them, suggestions?

    Hi, I can no longer find my Apple TV with the new version on iTunes (i'm on OS X) on my computer, I need it so I can pair the Apple TV and iTunes account, any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    if it's an appletv 1g then you should go to settings on your appletv and remove the bind with the computer
    and then set it up again
    if it's the small black appletv then you don't pair them from itunes you only use it as airplay speaker and the atv access the itunes shared lib

  • After Mavericks OS upgrade, can no longer make any HTTP requests with the OPTIONS verb

    My machine can no longer make any HTTP requests with the OPTIONS verb. This happens whether I try it curl, postman, or ajax.
    curl -i -X OPTIONS http://www.google.com returns curl: (52) Empty reply from server
    It should return a long string containing a 405 error code.
    I suspect that this is related to the Mavericks upgrade I did earlier this week. I only have one mac (my dev machine) with Mavericks. Other macs are Mountain Lion and they don't have this problem.
    Can anyone else with Mavericks confirm whether or not they have this problem too?
    If this is Mavericks related, anyone know of a fix or workaround?

    Turns out that it wasn't Mavericks related at all. Cisco AnyConnect has a security module running behind the scenes even when you're not VPNed into anything. It was blocking my OPTIONS verb requests. I was able to make these calls after uninstalling.
    Re-installing with Web Security turned off should prevent it from happening. While I was uninstalling I did notice that there was a web security uninstall script in /opt/cisco/vpn/bin but I already committed to taking the whole app off my machine. Simply running that script could have done it too.
    I must give credit to Ben Nadel. It was his blog post that helped me fix this issue.

  • FreeBSD didn't install, i can no longer boot into Windows

    I unsuccessfully installed FreeBSD and I can no longer boot into an OS from the HD.  I attempted to install BSD onto the "G" drive below however the the install gave me some kind of storage error and I can no longer boot into Windows.  While going through the BSD installation process I opted to NOT install a boot manager (I incorrectly assumed that this would leave my existing boot manager intact).
    Here's how I was partitioned pre-FreeBSD (these are all partitions on the same SATA 80GB drive):
    C:\ Windows ME
    D:\ Windows XP sp1a
    E:\ Windows XP-64 beta
    F:\ Longhorn 64 preview
    [G]:\ unpartitioned 4GB
    [F]:\ uformatted 4GB
    H:\ NTFS Storage
    I:\ FAT32 Storage
    Before I attempted to install BSD, I used c:\boot.ini as my boot manager.  
    Now when I try to boot it says:
    Code: [Select]
    Invalid Partition
    Invalid Partition
    No /boot/loader
    FreeBSD/i386 boot
    Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
    boot:
    Invalid Partition
    No /kernel
    FreeBSD/i386 boot
    Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
    boot: _ 
    Has anyone else ever had this happen to them?  If so how can I reenable booting into Windows?

    Hi

  • I Have a silver w/Mirror doors dual 867 running OSX10.2. I try to install OS9.2.1 I get "THIS PROGRAM CAN NOT RUN ON YOUR COMPUTER" Message I need to be able to run Classic.

    I have a powermac Silver with mirror doors 867 dual processors running OSX 10.2 no problem there but I need to run Classic but when I try to install OS 9.2.1 I get a "THIS PROGRAM CAN NOT RUN ON YOUR COMPUTER" message.

    Your G4 (MDD) dual 867MHz model Mac requires the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 which originally came with that machine. It can not use any other version of OS 9.
    The model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 can be installed using the original disk set which came with that machine; that disk set boots to OS X 10.2, but the installer on it can install OS 9.2.2 (Classic) as an option.
    There is no stand-alone install disk (such as a retail, i.e. white-label, CD) which can be used to install Classic on that model G4.

    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/DVR109AB/
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Pioneer/DVR112DBK/
    Note that the 109 has no front bezel, and slips in with no modification. The 112 has a front bezel, but, as noted by Flycast, can easily be removed, and will fit into your computer.
    Whomever told you your computer is "non-standard" knows little of Mac's......

  • [Solved again] Updated to linux-3.10.8; Can no longer boot

    Hey everyone.
    So, linux-3.10.2-1 just dropped to the [testing] repos, and I got it through a standard -Syu. Along with it were upgraded libxfont, linux-headers, lirc-utils (and I installed extundelete during the same command).
    Here's the relevant bit of /var/log/pacman.log:

    Then, because I am on a UEFI system, I copied the initrd images and the vmlinuz image over to my ESP (just like I've done many a time before), and now the system won't boot. It doesn't throw any errors; rather, as soon as UEFI selects the entry to run, the computer just sits there (there is nothing in the logs so far as I can find).
    I've booted with a live medium and I've tried regenerating the images and recopying them (the checksums of the images changed, so I figured that might do the trick), but it's still a no-go. Is there something obvious that I'm missing? Has anyone else run into this problem?
    [Edit]: Though this appeared to be solved with 3.10.3, the problem appears to have returned with 3.10.8. No actual solution has been found. As with before, a new kernel has been released (3.10.9) with which this issue does not exist…
    All the best,

    So I added /boot to my fstab with option "auto" to not rely on the systemd-efi-generator and /boot was mounted just fine. Then I set noauto,x-systemd.automount and the autofs mount point was created as expected. Then I removed the /boot entry in fstab again and the systemd-efi-generator seems to work fine again...
    I'm seriously confused right now...
    btw, I did all of this mit kernel 3.9.9 booted. 3.10.2 doesn't boot on my system, it's the famous ""EFI machine randomly hangs while loading kernel" bug again. But this shouldn't have anything to do with the kernel install problem...
    edit: I just realized that my "btw" is actually what OP describes. I should have read the thread completely, sorry
    Either way, as far as I can see these are two separate issues. The EFI bug with the long thread that I mentioned above and the fact that /boot seems to not mount in some cases. I did some more testing regarding this, but I still have no idea what is happening. I could have sworn there was no automount point set up by systemd at some point, which would have made sense. But I can't reproduce it anymore...

  • Can no longer connect to Airport Express with upgrade to iTunes 10.1

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 10.1 I can no longer connect to my Airport Express (unknown error-15000). Another computer on my betwork running an older version of iTunes still works on the Airport Express.
    Any ideas? I have tried to uninstall and reinstall airport express with no success.

    Rather than disabling the firewall, try making sure you've got exceptions in it for BonJour. Although the following document is about a different error message, the instructions in there are worth trying. (At step 7, make sure there's an exception for BonJour as well.)

  • Can no longer open my Compuserve email with Firefox

    As of 4 days ago I can no longer open my emails on my laptop. Compuserve helped change my internet explorer settings, disconnect my McAfee firewall, and allow all cookies. They advised the problem was that something in Mozilla was blocking the complete download of my email page. I installed Firefox 4, but that didn't seem to help. What next?
    Robert

    When using Preferences to change the email to Xfinity Lite you loose certain valuable features available in the full verfsiion. This may work for some but I enjoy attaching photos in some emails and having them show in he message boz along with a message. It's a shame that two multi-national companys can't get their act straight. Comcast blames Firefox, Firefox blames Concast. In the meantime users are forced to use Internet Explorer. I hate this kind of stupidity. Millions of consumers are inconvenienced. I suspect that Microsoft and Comcast are schemeing in this matter.

  • Can no longer edit app descriptor file with 3.4 - really?

    Until now, when publishing to AIR from Flash Professional, I could manually edit the app descriptor XML with a little workaround:
    1. Set up my publish settings in Flash Professional and click OK
    2. Then edit the XML file and save it
    3. Then Publish from Flash Professional WITHOUT opening the Publish Settings again (which would recreate the XML file).
    This has been CRUCIAL to me in order to add certain elements to the XML file such as <extensions> I want to include with my project.
    However, this seems impossible to do with the 3.4 AIR SDK release version. When I try, it ignores my manual edits of the XML file and simply removes them when I publish. This is a HUGE problem because now I can no longer add <extensions> in the app descriptor file (and this can't be done from the Flash Professional GUI).
    Anyone have ANY idea how to keep adding my extensions to the app descriptor file?

    Hello,
    I have the same problem, but not the same solution : I have an old air application under Air 2.0, with an automatic updater, and wanted to make an intermediate application as seen here : http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/update-air-2-or-earlier.html .
    So I have to change the application descriptor by hand. But Flash CS6 always overwrite this descriptor with its own datas while exporting.
    How can I change my application descriptor for this intermediate version ? I have Flash CS5, but not Flash CS5.5, and the extension for Flash CS5 doesn't exist anymore !
    Thanks !
