Can't get back to OS 10.4.9 from OS 9.0.4
Hi,
Just bought/installed 10.4 and upgraded to 10.4.9. Everything works great; BUT, I used startup disk to select old OS 9.0.4 system folder to boot from and now i CAN'T get back to 10.4.9. Booting w/ OPTION won't give me the option, and OS support pages suggesting going to the Start-up Disk folder don't help since control panel only give me choice between MAC HD and Network driver. Do I really have to go buy an OLD OS like 9.1 or 9.2 to upgrade to? Apple should help with this...
thanx much for info......

Hi, Devils Coup -
Do I really have to go buy an OLD OS like 9.1 or 9.2 to upgrade to?
No.
Apple should help with this...
They do.
The version of Startup Disk control panel that comes with original OS 9.1 and earlier installs was not coded to be able to recognize OSX as a valid boot OS, probably because OSX did not yet exist when those OS's were written.
There are four solutions in order to get back to OSX from your OS 9.0.4, with both OS's on the same, unpartitioned drive -
(1) Update the OS to OS 9.2.1, using first the download updater for OS 9.1 and then the one for OS 9.2.1, or by using a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD. This may not be satisfactory.
(2) Boot from an OSX Install CD, and use its Startup Disk control pane to reset the boot OS to OSX on the hard drive. This is often not a convenient solution.
(3) Upon booting or restarting, as soon as the startup chies sound press the X key, keep it held down until the machine starts to boot to OSX. This is perhaps the easiest, no-install required choice.
(4) Update just the Startup Disk control panel in OS 9.0.4 to v. 9.2.1 (that's the version number for the control panel). This is the simplest long-term solution, one which leaves your OS 9.0.4 otherwise untouched. You can download just that control panel from this Apple KBase document -
Startup Disk 9.2.1 Document and Software
<hr>
Do I really have to go buy an OLD OS like 9.1 or 9.2...
No, but if you intend to keep OS 9 available on that machine for a while, it would serve you well to get a copy of the retail OS 9.1 Install CD or the retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD. Both of those contain current (for OS 9) versions of Drive Setup and Disk First Aid, hence serve as excelent emergency and trouble-shooting CDs.
Booting w/ OPTION won't give me the option....
One of the reasons for partitioning a drive so that OS 9 and OSX can be installed each on its own volume is to be able to use Startup Manager to select the boot volume at startup. Startup Disk is able to recognize only one OS per volume, specifically the last one booted to on that volume. So, if both OS's are on the same volume, only the one last booted to will appear in Startup Manager's screen. By partitioning the drives and placing each OS on its own volume, either can be accessed at any time in Startup Manager.

How can I get back all of my family videos from the iTunes monster?
So here's the thing.
Over the past few years I have accumulated a whole heap of home videos as well as movies, TV episodes etc. etc. which has grown and grown to the point where there was no more space on my 60GB hard drive.
So I go out and buy an 80GB video iPod so that I can store the videos on that.
I go through the extremely lengthy (3 days) and frustrating process of converting all my files to mp4 using Videora converter and load them onto iTunes and then onto my new iPod. I then click 'Manually manage songs' in my iPod options so that I could delete the videos from my computer, and have them still on my iPod. This was about a week ago and since then everything has been fine.
When updating my iPod this morning, I manually ejected the ipod once my new music was added, only to find that the ipod now contained NO VIDEOS! As it turns out, the iPod automaticaaly reverted to 'automatcally manage files' without my prompt.
So now whilst I have the files on iTunes, they cannot be found as they have been deleted and they are no longer on my iPod. Is there ANY way that I can get them back? Anything at all? System restore or something?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can't get back old photo in iphone 4s from cloud after change to iphone 6
Hi there,
i've just change to iphone 6 from iphone 4s for few months. Recently i'm trying to restore my photo from i cloud, but unfortunately i only found photo record in my iphone 6... i lose all of my previous photo from iphone 4s. Please helppppppp........A reset should clear this up, press and hold the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't resolve it, a restore as new will.
If neither resolves, you have a serious hardware issue.
Downgrading the iOS is not supported and may have damaged the device beyond repair. It may have also voided your warranty. -
How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?
Gorgeous Hello All,
If anyone of you can please provide me a solution for the following, will help me in plentious and galore.
Am using Adobe RoboHelp, Version 10 and IE version being 10.
A hurdle :-
I have a application which has been developed in ASP .NET, Version 4.0. Help link has been created in this application wherein here the Start up page of index.htm has been linked to be read from the RoboHelp local project folder\!SSL!\Multiscreen_HTML5\desktop. All are working absolutely fine except when
I login into the above-said application -> click on the Help page -> the index.htm opens with Contents, Index, Glossary -> Am able to successfully perform any task by respective clickings
-> But I am not able to get back into my application when I click on the IE provided Back button (Alt+Left) -> Any amount of invoking Back button makes the system getting looped into this Start up page of index.htm only -> When I Close Tab (Ctrl + W) or Close ( X ) -> The window session gets closed and I have to repeat all by relogin once again.
How can I get back into my application aftermath invoking Start up page of index.htm ?
(I can always get back into the application easily by erasing those parts in the url which refers to this RoboHelp linkages – but this certainly looks non-polished work)
Help Please

I just pressed the wrong button to erase of my iMac, how can i get back all information ?
Possibly through a data rescue service (can cost a four-figure amount) if you didn't have an external backup.
But you must stop using that Mac immediately, or your data will be over-written. -

Now can't get back to my first question for you! Hate new Firefox - how to revert?
Well, I just asked a question about bookmarks - they are lost after updating Firefox. Now can't even find them anywhere. My computer switched to Yahoo! and I want to use original Yahoo. Strongly dislike new toolbar - where is print, etc.? I can't get back to a link for my original question now, so please answer all of this here.
I really just want plain old Yahoo.
I want things like print on my toolbar.
I need my bookmarks back.
Thank-you. I need step-by-step directions; please don't just tell me to look at the Yahoo! site because I have and can't figure out how to get this stuff.Previous versions are available here: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
You may also wish to back up your profile for safekeeping prior to rolling back: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles
If you roll back, you will want to change your update regime to make sure you won't automatically update against your wishes. -
I am trying to setup my ipad 2 but I can't get back to the wi-fi connections section. How do I get there, nothing is working.
The Wi-Fi connections section is in Settings > Wi-Fi
If the home screen is not visible tap the Home button, the button on the front of your iPad that has the rounded square in it. Once you reach the Home screen swipe through the screen of apps until you find the Settings app. Tap Settings and go to Wi-Fi.
If your iPad is completely non responsive, try a restart.
Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep button simultaneously ignoring the red slider. Keep holding until the Aple logo appears and your iPad will restart.
The sleep button is on the side of your iPad on the side opposite from the Home button. -
I tried to download a Cisco website application. The app did not download and it is stuck on the window where it has the option of open.....it will not open. The problem is that I cannot get the window off the screen and I can't get back to the App Store home page! Help! Thanks
Try this.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
I currently have iPhoto 8.1.2 on my macbook pro and am trying to update to the latest version. I have had to work backward, but I can only get back to 9.1, which will not install because it says I need at least 9.0 to install it. Is 9.0 available? Will I need to go back even further? Thanks
Upgrading from iPhoto 8 to iPhoto 9 requires a purchase. There are two ways to get to iPhoto 9:
1 - purchase a copy of the iLife 11 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com or eBay.com.
2 - if your MBP meets the requirements upgrade you system for free to Mavericks. Then you can purchase the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1, from the App Store.

When I click on the Music tab on my Apple TV 2, a message tells me I have to set up iTunes Match to stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac. I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV
Ditto.
You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

I recently browsed ITunes UK store and now can't get back to my iTunes US store. The UK store won't accept my email address as it is in use. So, effectively, I can't make an iTunes purchase. And, this password changing is madness. Everytime I sign in iTunes doesn't recognize my password and so I have to get a new one even though I've answered the useless security questions. Has anyone solved this problem before?
Funny how this seems to be one of the most-asked questions on the Internet. In most cases, no answer is ever checked as "Correct," either. Most answers, as on this page, say to click the flag at the bottom right-hand corner of any store page. The problem? There's only one flag!!! And it's the one of the country we don't want to be in!!!
Just in case this helps someone: what worked for me was to sign in. It then told me my id was not valid for this country, and switched me back to the US. How I was ever able to buy something from the UK store in the first place is beyond me.
By the way, Apple, experiences like this, and many, many other horrible ones with iTunes, is why those of us who do not live in the Apple world continue to stick to their Microsoft PCs.
