Can't get OS9 to work within OSX Tiger

Has anyone had success using OS9 within the newest Tiger? I have a favorite app that requires OS9 to work and the instructions in my Mac are vague about how to install the old operating system to have it work within OSX.
I recently did a complete wipe of my hard drive and installed the latest Tiger OS. I created two partitions for the hard drive. I used the single disc OS9 install CD (the one that came with my Powerbook a few years ago) and successfully went through the install process using the second partition, the one that OSX is not on. The OS9 system folder does appear in the partition list of items.
When I click on the app I want to use, the OS9 window pops up and says "Classic starting up using 'system folder' on 'untitled 2' (that's the partition name. The problem is that OS9 never completes starting up and I'm not able to use my app. I've waited ten+ minutes and OS still hasn't completed starting up.
Can anyone help?
John

John, try this:
1) Go to System Preferences -> Classic -> Start/Stop tab. Make sure the OS 9 System Folder is the one you want. (Hover the pointer over the selected one to see its location. Make sure it is the one on the 'untitled 2' partition, for example.)
2) Leave the pref open -- you will need it again shortly.
3) Open Disk Utilty. From its "File" menu select "Fix OS 9 permissions." This will repair OS X permissions on the OS 9 install you selected above. You can now quit Disk Utility.
4) Back in Classic preferences, select the "Advanced" tab. Click the "Rebuild Desktop" button. Select the volume from step 1 & Click "Rebuild." (This step is just for good measure & not strictly necessary.)
5) In the top section labeled "Startup and other options" make sure "Turn off extensions" is selected, then click the "Start Classic" button next to it. (This is the most important step.)
If Classic now starts up with no problems, what you have is an old fashioned extension conflict. If so, stop Classic & switch to "Open Extension Manager" in the "Startup and other options" section, restart Classic & select one of the top two sets in Extensions Manager, next to the "Selected Set:" text. (These are the standard 'All' & 'Base' sets.)
If Classic now finishes starting up, you will have to do the old process of elimination routine to find the conflicting extension(s).
BTW, to boot into OS 9 from the partition, you must have an OS 9 boot driver on the drive (not volume) you boot from. You can make sure that is there with Disk Utility. Select the drive (not the volume) & click the blue "Info" button. Look for the line in the info window that pops up that says "Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed :" -- you want it to say "yes."

I can't get WolframTones to work in OSX Mountain Lion.

I tried going to this site: http://tones.wolfram.com/ and using the generate tone application, but whenever I click on the play button in Safari nothing happens. When I try and click on the play button in chrome a yellow alert bar opens up at the top of the screen telling me to install quicktime player. I have installed both quicktime X and quicktime 7 with no results. I am able to download the generated midi files on a PC, transfer them to this mac, and play them with quicktime 7 but I can't seem to get anything to play while I am in the web application itself. Let me know if you need any more information.
Thank you.

The files you refer to are really MIDI files. As discussed over the weekend, "real" MIDI files do not appear to be supported by the browser QT plug-in software or QT X player app any longer. Therefore, the files do not play in a browser which accesses a web page programmed/defaulted to call the QT browser plug-in for playback. On the other hand, MIDI playback is still supported by the QT 7 player app if installed on your system. Thus, MIDI files downloaded to your local hard drive can be played locally on your system. In fact, if you try to play the MIDI file using QT X and QT 7 is available, then the QT X player should automatically ask you if you want the file to be played by the QT 7 player.
The same also currently holds true for WMA Pro encoded MIDI files as far as browser playback is concerned. However, WMA Pro encoded MIDI content can be played using either the QT X or QT 7 player apps, but only if one of the Flip4Mac codec packages is installed on your system AND only if you change the ".mid" file extension to ".wma" so that the player can associate the file container with the correct playback codec component.

Hi,
Is there an iPhone involved ?
If not, what happens if you remove the Apple ID on the iPad and then set it in Airplane Mode (allow a couple of minutes at this point) followed by re-adding the Apple ID ?
What, if any error messages are appearing on the Mac when you try to launch the App or Login to the iMessages server ?
Is the Apple ID linked to an iCloud account ?

And, you are sure you have provided the correct username and password for you email account? I'm not familiar with Virgin media, so you might contact their tech support to find out why you are having a problem sending mail but none receiving mail. I assume your mail account has always been POP3 and not IMAP. Typically, the outgoing mail servers are not the same for the different types of account service.

Port 8080: I know this is simple, I just can't get it to work.

I'm trying something that I'm sure is relatively simple. But I just can't get it to work. I have OSX Server 10.4.10. I currently have my company site (www.example.com) hosted on it. But I'm trying to get another site hosted on it at port 8080. When I enter my company domain, www.example.com:8080, the page can't be displayed. But when I enter the IP address, such as 192.168.xxx.xxx:8080 from within my network, the correct site shows up. How can I get a website displayed at port 8080 from outside my network? I'm running DD-WRT on my router and have ports 80 and 8080 directed to the IP address of my server.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi WiFiNetGuy-
I am a tad confused, which isn't new, but I need to get a grasp on exactly what it is that you are trying to do.
Do you have both websites (i.e. www.example1.com and www.example2.com) both pointed at the same ip address? How many unique domain names and ip addresses are we talking about?
From what you describe it sounds like a routing issue but I need more info (:>)

ERROR! cannot write to Info.plist, there are permission problems, or you are on a read-only volume.
This cannot run from within a read-only dmg file.
But when I go to "get info" the program says i have "read and write" permission?

The Cisco VPN client is notoriously lousy. Use the built-in Cisco client if at all possible.

Just bought Ear Force Z11 - headset, can't get it to work on my iMac intel based on the Windows side

I have used Boot Camp on my iMac 21" early 2008 to partition and set-up Windows 7 so that I could use my FSX Flight simulator, I bought EarForce Z11 headset to use with my simulator and can't get it to work, has anyone else ran in to this problem? If anyone can help I would appriciate it, the computer recognizes that I plugged them in but I am only getting sound over the iMac speakers and nothing with the headset.

assuming it works on osx then
sounds like
1, the mixer in windows have muted the headset connection you can change that in the control panel
2. the driver for your audio card is not working 100% (read people say that the 32bit win7 don't have drivers from apple avaible)
with the right drivers it should work
my imac 21" have a splitter connected where I have external speakers from logitech and a skullcandy headset
connected both play and the internal imac speakers only make a sound at bootup at first
this is both in osx, was in win7 64bit and win8 64bit

Datalist with scrollbar, can't get it to work

Hi all there,
I've tried this over and over, but i can't get this to work;
I have selected an picture (thumbnail) AND selected a vertical scrollbar (with shift click) The scrollbar is from catalyst itslef, so not a custom made 1.
I then (with again both selected) convert these to data list.
When done, i select within the data list the thumbnail and set this towards the Repeated item.
I now have (by default) 5 thumbnails. I add some more to my likings.
And now i'm blanc.
When previeuwing this in my browser i can see the thumnails, including the hover state, i can see the image of the scrollbar but... the scrollbar does not work.
I cant even click the butto on it. It looks just like a picture without any functionality.
I've consulted the web, read Classroom in a Book over and over again, but whatever i do, even within the tutorials comming with the Classroom book, i can't get this to work.
Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. I'm simply stuck.
Many thanks allready!

A 1 overnight sleep did the trick for me.
I redid all the work after some testing. It works now as intended. Can't recall where i did it wrong the first place.
Case closed for me.
Thx. all

Can't get iphoto to work after tampering with library in Finder

I think I made a big mistake when I tampered with the iphoto library in Pictures in Finder.
Now I can't get iphoto to work. All the pictures are gone in iphoto, the spaces are there but they are blank.
When I open iphoto it goes into the mode (little spinning wheel appears) where I have to "force quit".
Any supggestions on what I can do? Thanks.

The list that shows is just data files and such.
You can burn the entire iPhoto Library folder.
You can burn each Year folder or any other variation.
This is my workflow. The reason I do it the way I describe is because I want a backup of just the photos and video clips I take so I can copy them to a partition of my external drive and burn them to disc. On the other partition I backup my entire users folder
When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD.
The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
Under the General button choose
Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
Here is info on backing up your photos:
Backing up your iPhoto Library
1. Burn the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder to a CD or DVD
This method will give you a burned iPhoto Library folder that can be copied back to your computer to replace a damaged library. You can also use this method to backup an old library when you want to create a new Library to use as your current library.
insert a blank CD into your internal or external CD-RW drive and copy the iPhoto library to the CD icon on your desktop. When you drag the CD icon to the Trash/Eject button in the Dock, you are given the option to burn the CD. Click Burn and the CD is created. To burn a DVD backup of your digital images, use a DVD and a SuperDrive-equipped Mac
The easiest way to burn an iPhoto Library folder in the Finder that is larger than 4.7 gig to fit on one DVD is to burn sections of the folder.
Drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
Double click the folder to open it.
Drag each Year folder to the desktop.
You should be left with the iPhoto Library folder containing all the data files, and the Year folders.
Combine whatever year folders that amount closest to a DVD burn size on one DVD. Make sure that you have burned all the Year folders, then the iPhoto Library folder with all the data files.
If you ever need to use this backup, insert the DVDs into your computer and copy the folders to the desktop. Put all the Year folders back into the iPhoto Library folder. Then put the iPhoto Library folder back into the Pictures folder.
You can also check out applications for disc spanning:

Retrospect Express-comes with some external drives
Retrospect for Macintosh Desktop Edition
2. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to an external drive formated for a Mac. Do not use this as your only back up as the external can also go bad.
3. Copy the ENTIRE iPhoto Library to your iPod in disk mode
4.Creating your own CDs and DVDs for viewing in iPhoto
This method is a great way to back up Albums of older photos or even your entire library if it is small enough to fit on a DVD. This method will give you a library that will mount within iPhoto in the source column to be viewed. To import any images from this library they need to be dragged into your library in the source column.
If you just want to backup the images in your library:
1) Within iPhoto select the images, albums or rolls you want to backup. Go to Share>Export and export them to a newly created folder on the desktop. Follow the directions in the next link.
Creating a CD or DVD to be viewed in Windows or by a photo processing company
1.. If you backed up the entire iPhoto Library by burning within iPhoto or burning the folder in the Finder, make sure the burned copy is a good working copy before you delete the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. You delete the iPhoto Library in the finder by dragging it to the trash when iPhoto is closed. When you next launch iPhoto it will create a new empty library for you to start anew.
2. If you burned just the images, be aware that that is all you are archiving. No metadata will travel with the images such as comments, keywords, etc.
You can then delete those images within iPhoto by highlighting them and hitting the delete key, then empty iPhoto's trash. Do this often and in groups so iPhoto will not choke on too many images.

I can't get TextWrangler to work as a comparison tool - what am I doing wrong?

I've followed your help advice for 'Compare local and remote files for differences' and I can't get it to work.
I have an iMac running OSX 10.7.2. I have Dreamweaver 5 and TextWrangler (3.5.3) installed in my Applications folder. In Dreamweaver, selected Edit - Preferences - File compare.
Then I've added the code: Macintosh HD:usr:bin:twdiff
However if I right click a local file and select 'Compare with Remote Server', I get a message saying 'There is no remote version of xxx to compare'
This is despite the fact that I am connected to the remote site and can see the matching version of the file in the remote section.
What am I doing wrong?

You may have installed your TextWrangler application without administrator privileges. In this you'll have to look for the twdiff file in the Local Applications Support Folder (refer to TextWrangler User Manual).
To fix your problem with Dreamweaver, while selecting your File Compare tool, try looking for the twdiff file in the following location :
Macintosh HD:usr:local:bin:twdiff
That should definitely work. It did for me

I am using Hover for my email address and I can not get it to work properly

I've changed the MX record to 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com (Hover's recomendation) but it's still not working.
How Can I get this to work properly?
Thanks for the help!

Hey KoobeP,
I have performed a DNS look-up on the domain stormbluedesign.com and can see that the MX record you have added exists within our DNS: http://screencastmb.worldsecuresystems.com/img/2013-04-24_0949.png. However, this MX record is not pointing to any IP address which leads me to believe the MX record you added is incorrect.
I believe the MX record you need to add is mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com, with a priority of 10. Not 10mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com. But as always, contact your mail service provider for confirmation on the records they require you to add.

check your outgoing port settings and make sure it's using a specific port and not the default port, also you might want to check to see if it is using SSL, TLS or any other encryption. Verify the setting from your old machine setup.
