Can Power Mac G5 run the System OX 9?
If the Power Mac G5 have 2 hard drive, can I install OX 9 into one of the HD, and OX 10 into other , so I can run either new & old system?
Hi cantonpro;
What are you running that requires OS 9?
That is very important to this discuss because there are a number of applications and especially games that don't run will in the "Classic" environment. If you are really dependent on running things that require OS 9 you might want to seriously consider not changing over to the G5.

I have a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8. What is the most recent version of iMovie HD that can run on this Mac?
iMovie 05 and 06 are sometimes referred to as iMovie HD. iMovie 08 and newer aren't.

Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?
Can I install Adobe InDesign CS5 on a Power Mac G5 running OS 10.5.8?
first thing to try is reset InDesign:
delete the preference file located here:
system > users > home folder > library > peferences > com.adobe.InDesign.plist
then repair the hard drive:
shut down the Mac
restart - then press shift key immediately after the chime
keep pressing shift untill the Apple logo appears
let the Mac boot to the desktop - it will take longer to boot as it is repairing the hard drive
when desktop appears, restart the Mac normally -
Hello:
Here's what I hope to do. I want to be able to transfer photos from an Eye-Fi card in a digital camera to my oldish Power Mac G4 running 10.5.8. I don't have wi-fi capability in the computer now but was hoping that I can buy a card to give the machine this capability? Anyone know what I should be looking to buy?
Sincerely:
MichaelThere's always one of these if your running 10.5.8...

I upgraded to latest version of mountain lion yesterday, this morning my power Mac was running extremely slowly (while typing, had to wait a second or two for words to appear), I shut down to see if problem would clear up. When starting up, screen went black with programming jargon, something about debugging with the word panic in parentheses. Screen then goes back to gray, says Mac encountered a problem and has to restart once I push a key. Apple logo comes on gray screen, icon keeps circling and nothing happens. This has happened three times in a row after shutting down and trying to restart. Any thoughts?
When verifying disk, said could not repair disk, back up as many files as possible then re format disk. Computer now doing Internet recovery. Should I. Do the following in this order
1 restore from back up on time machine
2 re install osx
These are the options coming up on osx utilities window -

I accidentally clicked 'forget about this site' and I'm looking for a way to undo this. I've heard there is no way to recover the history from a particular site once it has been deleted, but surely it leaves some kind of record in the system? I read an article that suggested running the 'system restore' feature which gives me the option of 'restoring my computer to an earlier time' before certain changes were made. Would this work?
no, updating the browser won't have an impact on your history - all your personal data will remain.
a general tip if you want to avoid data loss/highly depend on this data, is to back-up your firefox profile regularly: [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]] -
Is it possible to erase a Power Mac G5 without the disk
Is it possible to erase/clean a Power Mac G5 without the disc? We have the disk, but when ever we try to start up from it, the fan just gets louder and louder, and the circle spins on the desktop and never loads. We are trying to clean the computer off so we can sell it. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks!We have the disk, but when ever we try to start up from it, the fan just gets louder and louder, and the circle spins on the desktop and never loads.
I'd make a quick run at resurrecting the opticl drive first. Optical drives get dirty and that can make them stupid. For US$5-15, you can get a brush-type drive cleaning disk. It is remarkable how many seemingly dead drives come back to life with a cleaning.
I'd also examine the disk closely to see it it's damaged or dirty. I had a disk that refused to work in a drive that worked with everything else. Looked closely at the offending disk and found there was peanut butter(!) on it. Washing it off in the kitchen sink and a loving chat with my peanut butter-eating son fixed the problem. -
I have an older Power Mac G5 running 10.4 11. Key chain seems to have locked itself ? When I go to open Keychain it is locked and won't open on restart or when I use my administrator password. I thought the keychain password was the administrator's password and that it would open on restart. If this isn't correct, how can I open Keychain ?

I have a Power Mac G4 running Tiger that will not open Classic 9.1
I have an old Power Mac G4 Running OSX 10.4.11 that would run Classic 9.1. I haven't used the computer in a long time, but am trying now, and Classic will not start. I get no alerts, besides one that says "You have Mac OS 9.1 Installed. It's recommended that you upgrade to Mac OS 9.2" With "OK" as the only option. Afterwards it just goes to the start up screen for Classic and the blue bar doesn't move, but flickers. I have tried restarting, and all extensions are off. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions??
You'll need to copy these files onto your computer in Mac OS 9 to be able to extract the 9.2.1 update, install it, and then the 9.2.2 update and install it:

In Firefox 3.6.4 and later the default connection settings have been changed to "Use the system proxy settings".<br />
See "Firefox connection settings" in [[Server not found]]
You can find the connection settings in "Tools > Options > Advanced : Network : Connection"<br />

Will 1.86ghz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini run the IPhone SDK?
I kinda asked this as a follow up in another thread. But I really should have asked it in a separate thread here.
Will a 1.86ghz Intel Core Duo Mac Mini run the IPhone SDK?
Additionally, it comes with 10.4 and IPhone needs 10.5.4 or better. Can I download and upgrade to 10.5.4 free from Apple or will I have to purchase the upgrade?
JerryThe hardware is more than sufficient. You will have to buy 10.5 (Apple does not have upgrade pricing).

System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"
Greetings
- Our critical server image backup Fails on one
server -
Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
partition on each source hard drive is not included.
Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
Server A good.
Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
"The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
Used diskpart clean to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
Restore still fails. It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
Server A SRP 100MB C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385 write cache off
Server B SRP 100MB C: 102GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385 write cache off
Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.

"If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring." Doesnt apply here.
http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
Thank you so much.Hello,
1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
correct order in the hardware.
4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline.
5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
should be present with minimum size requirement.
6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:
