Can't start OS9.2 in OSX 10.0.4 enviroment
I posted this topic already but It appears the thred is getting off topic. This should be an easy problem to solve but not finding the resources on the Apple site.
Recently I seem to have caused a problem booting OS9.2 in the OS10.0.4
I tried to install Tiger and found I could not work with the OS so I tried to get back to OS10.0.4 Since then I can no longer boot OS9.2 in the OS10.0.4 enviroment.
Now when I user OS10.0.4 and try to load OS9.2 I get this message "sorry a system error occured" address error and I get the very familiar Apple bomb logo. This might be the result of a bad "update that I acceppted"
Anyway is the an issues databse for OS10.0.4 or an issues database relating too loading OS9.2 in the OSX enviroment?
N/a Mac OS 9.2.x
I found a solution to the problem. I simply deleted the following files from the 9.2 system folder...
classic
clasic suppport
classic support UI
When I restarted 9.2 in 10.0.4 these files are reinstalled in the folder
N/a Mac OS 9.1.x

Help! Can't start up from Mac OSX 10.0.4
I’m hoping someone can help me with a problem. I have an Apple G-4 computer. When I originally purchased it 3-4 years ago I believe it came with OS 9.1 and OSX installed. Both worked fine when I first got it. Through the years I upgraded the OS to 9.2.2 and haven’t used OSX since the first time I purchased the computer.
Well, I went out an purchased a digital camera which only works with OSX. So I switched the start up disk to OSX and re-started the computer. No OSX, only a gray screen with wording, letters and numbers that are highlighted. Some of the wording is as follows: “panic unable to find driver for this platform”, no debugger configured-dumping debug information”, panic we are hanging here”.
So I re-started from the CD, switched to OS 9.2 and restarted. I then removed the OSX system from my computer. I then re-installed OSX again and tried to start from it, but the same thing happened. I’m not sure if it has any bearing, but I noticed in the startup disk, Mac OSX 10.0.4 has next to it (Build 4Q12). Not sure what it means or if it’s suppose to be there.
Sure would appreciate some help here. Thanks much.
G-4 Mac OS X (10.0.x)10.4 will work on your machine as long as you upgrade the firmware first.
Follow my upgrade tips when installing:
http://www.macmaps.com/upgradefaq.html
I would add the person who has the least trouble upgrading to X, goes to it cold turkey. As you are suggesting only to do so for your digital camera, I'm not sure if you really are ready to go to X. I'd get all your software upgraded to X versions before going to X purchased, and then you'll be able to work it out. I've also written this FAQ on migration:

How can I start an app on OSX Mavericks without switching to it?
What's up to all my Appleheads!
I usually do my research (extensively if I'm particularly annoyed) regarding any of my Apple questions, but I can't seem to find an answer to the following:
Let's say I'm working in a full screen app (e.g. - Safari) window/space and I bring up spotlight/dock/launchpad to initiate/open/start an app, how can I prevent Mavericks from automatically "pulling" me to the designated window where the app is loading? I would like to be able to continue working on whatever it is I'm working on while at the same time have my app of choice start up in the "background" without being brought to it while it's still starting up. I know I'm not the only person that finds this behavior annoying, as I've seen it phrased a number of ways, but this question in particular hasn't been addressed (that I can find).
A little info:
Early 2011 13" MBP
8gb RAM
500gb HDD
OSX 10.9.4
P.S. I've already tried the 'When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for that application' within Mission Control settings. This does not yield the result I am searching for.Welcome to the Apple Support Communities

Can't start web services in OSX Server 10.3
I used the GUI to turn on webDAV on one of my domains and now I can't even start web services.
For some reason, all of my domains now have multiple alias mappings, redirects, alias matches and redirect matches.
I have tried to delete the additional mappings from my domains, but everytime I hit save, they rewrite themselves. I deleted the domain in which I activated webDAV and recreated it and the mappings still rewrite themselves.
Any suggestions as to how to stop the automatic writing of the mappings and get my web services up and running again?

Can't start up with Mac osx after installing windows on partition
Hello guys.
I installed windows on a partition of 100gb and I restarted the iMac so I can log on to Mac osx.
I hold down the option key after I hear the sound but only the windows disk appears there.
I tried the DVD that came with my Mac by holding down the "c" key but nothing happened. I was holding it down for 2-3 minutes.
I need some help here
Is there a way to boot Mac again?
Is there a chance I deleted Mac osx by installing windows?
And if there is how the **** am I getting it back since the osx DVD does not boot??
Thanks in advanceThe Macbook will not allow you to startup with your Install DVD while you have Open Firmware password enabled. Disable that first, then try again....
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106482
Launch the Open Firmware application to disable it. -
Can I use OS9 as the start up disk on my Intel Mac?
I have a new Intel iMac. I want to partition my hard drive, install OS9 and run the old system. I know I can't use "classic" on 10.4.7 but I wonder if I could simply install OS9 and reboot my computer. I don't need to move between the two, meaning I don't need to work in OS9 then instantly click and be in 10.4.7. I can deal with the inconvenience of rebooting.
I'm having 3 problems
#1, I have an old version of Photoshop. I'll buy the newest Photoshop someday but the latest version wasn't made for Intel Macs and it is very expensive. $600. I wonder if it runs slow on Intel Macs. Maybe I should wait for the next version.
#2 I have a great Epson printer (875 DC) but Epson has not updated the print drivers for this model and probably won't. OK fine I can buy a newer better photo printer $550.
#3 I have a "Nikon Coolscan 4000" film Scanner $1,300. This scanner is great in OS9 but the thing never worked in OS10 and now that I have this Intel iMac I downloaded the latest software update and the thing still doesn’t work and if the computer sleeps while the Nikon software is open it won't wake up and I have to restart.
To sum everything up, can I run OS9 on my Intel iMac? I don't care if I have to work in OS9 then shut down and restart to work in 10.4.7 Can this Intel iMac understand OS9. If I try to restart using OS9 as the startup disk will I damage the computer? Will I screw things up and have to spend hours and days removing files and correcting problems?
I feel like this computer is a fresh clean new baby and I'm afraid that if I start messing around with it I'll regret it.Hello,
I have a new Intel iMac. I want to partition my hard
drive, install OS9 and run the old system. I know I
can't use "classic" on 10.4.7 but I wonder if I could
simply install OS9 and reboot my computer.
The problem here, is that the OS 9 environment / Operating System will only run on a PowerPC processor.
The only reason that OS X will run on either processor, is that it was specifically designed to do so from the beginning.
But, OS 9 and older were specifically written for the PowerPC / Motorola processors.
So, you will need a machine with a PowerPC processor to run OS 9.
Currently, there is one program that will enable OS 9 to run on an Intel Mac. But, it requires making a copy of the Power Macintosh ROM. So, it's legal use is questionable at best.
http://www.gibix.net/projects/sheepshaver/
This program works by emulating the PowerPC processor. And, it is reported to operate at roughly 1/8-th of native speeds. So, it could be pretty slow for productive photo work.
#1, I have an old version of Photoshop. I'll buy the
newest Photoshop someday but the latest version
wasn't made for Intel Macs and it is very expensive.
$600. I wonder if it runs slow on Intel Macs. Maybe I
should wait for the next version.
If it is a Mac OS X version, then it will run on the Intel systems. But, yes it will be slower. Usable, but slower.
I haven't tried this program, so I cannot personally comment on it. But, even Steve Jobs admitted it was slow on the Intel Macs.
#2 I have a great Epson printer (875 DC) but Epson
has not updated the print drivers for this model and
probably won't. OK fine I can buy a newer better
photo printer $550.
OS X comes with drivers for the Epson Stylus Photo 875. They are provided by the Gimp-Print layer. But, installed / select just like any other printer. So, as long as you can connect the printer using USB, then you can select the driver for the 875 and be fine (as long as this is the same printer).
Otherwise, some people have reportedly installed PowerPC print drivers without trouble. I haven't tried it myself.
#3 I have a "Nikon Coolscan 4000" film Scanner
$1,300. This scanner is great in OS9 but the thing
never worked in OS10 and now that I have this Intel
iMac I downloaded the latest software update and the
thing still doesn’t work and if the computer sleeps
while the Nikon software is open it won't wake up and
I have to restart.
Can't really help you there.
To sum everything up, can I run OS9 on my Intel iMac?
I don't care if I have to work in OS9 then shut down
and restart to work in 10.4.7 Can this Intel iMac
understand OS9. If I try to restart using OS9 as the
startup disk will I damage the computer? Will I screw
things up and have to spend hours and days removing
files and correcting problems?
As mentioned above, the only method currently available to use OS 9 on an Intel system is that SheepShaver program.
But, I would not expect good results with it for your uses. And, it's legal status would be questionable since you need to copy a ROM file from another Mac to use it (which goes against Apple's license agreement).
I feel like this computer is a fresh clean new baby
and I'm afraid that if I start messing around with it
I'll regret it.
Just make sure you have a good backup of everything before you start experimenting.
I hope this helps. -

Can anyone please help? Every time I start up my imac OSX 10.6 desktop my Aperture 3 programme opens up without being requested. Is it possible to stop this happening and only allow Aperture to open by using the desktop icon? Thank you for any assistance anyone may be able to give.
Best regards, John.because there is absolutely no mention in my System Preferences of either Users & Groups nor Start Up Items.
John,
William's solution was much easier - just for completeness sake: The preferences panes to edit your startup items moved between the Mac OS X updates: I forgot that the "Users&Groups" preference pane used to be called "Users" in Mac OS X 10.6; it is the panel that you use to create new User accounts; and earlier systems had a separate preferences panel "Login" to enable and to disable the applications that are launched at login. Both are now combined in "Users&Groups". Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase with the wrong Preferences panel.

Can not start up with internal HD after 10.9.4 update
After installing 10.9.4 update, can no longer startup from internal HD on late 2012 iMac, 2.9 ghz, 8 gb ram, 1 TB internal
Used Disk Utility to starup from external 10.9.3 drive and that works fine.
Loaded the manual 10.9.4 update onto external, and tried updating the 10.9.4 internal. No luck.
Attempting internal startup with 10.9.4 results in black screen, followed by several seconds of lit screen and spinning icon, then back to black screen.
After starting up on 10.9.3 external, 10.9.4 internal shows mounted, files appear fine, and can copy back and forth. Just can't start with that drive, and can't risk updating external 10.9.3 to 10.9.4 until I find out and fix the problem.
Thank youThis was reported by another user:
I had the same issue with my 2008 iMac and Apple support walked me through the fix yesterday...
1. Shut the computer down by holding the power button for 10 seconds
2. Restart the computer and press shift at the same time until you see the progress bar start moving
3. Once you reach the point where your screen goes dark and you see the cursor, type the first letter of the username for your computer, then hit Enter, then type your password, then hit Enter.
4. After a moment, you should see the spinning beach ball
5. Your screen should then move on to something along the lines of "Completing OSX Installation" (I can't remember the exact wording). Let it finish. After that it should go to your normal desktop and the issue should be fixed. (If your screen goes pitch black during this process, hit the space bar. I thought it wasn't working, but the screen was just sleeping).
Apparently it's an issue with an automatic update that never quite got past the login screen.
If the above doesn't help, then move on to these:
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.4 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.4 Update (Combo). -
Hi
After upgrading to osx 10.9.3, my external hard drive was not able to mount, but it can be mounted without issue in osx 10.6, how do I solve it? it was formatted by disk utility.
Thanks
PTFrom the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock. -
I can print in classic but not OSX.
Fistly, what a great forum! I'm a recent convert to iBooks, have been reading as much as I can on this site to try to become as much of an expert as possible.
After much swearing I've now worked out how to use my Lexmark Z12 printer. If I reboot into OS9, I'm able to install the drivers from the cd and the printer works.(I've spent many frustrating hours downloading both the OS9 and the OSX drivers from the Lexmark website, but they just do not work when I'm in OSX.)
This is a bit of a drag as it means having to transfer documents between OSX and OS9 by emailing myself! My question is, if my printer works in OS9, is there no way of printing in OSX with Classic running?
Also, are there any dangers in switching between operating systems so frequently?
I should probably bite the bullet and buy a new printer but the one I have works perfectly well and I hate waste!
Any suggestions gratefully received.
BrendanHi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
From what I can find online, it seems that the OS X drivers for your printer only work through OS X 10.2. Functionality of your printer was broken with OS X 10.3. Printing in Classic is not supported, according to what I've read.
You may find that buying a new printer is cost-effective if you compare the costs of replacement ink cartridges.
As far as I know, there is no hazard in switching between operating systems. Apple intended that it be used that way. -
Can't boot OS9 from external HD
I have an external HD with OS X4 and OS9 installed on it. Classic will open, but I can't instal an OS 9 app because the app says I need virtual memory. I tried to boot OS9 from the external drive to install the app from OS9, but it is not a start up option in system preferences. I also can't start it from the c key. I have a full retail version of OS9.
Does any one have any suggestions? Do I need to install an earlier version of OS X?Allan,
Thanks for the response.
When I upgraded my iMac G5 to OS X5 I thought it was time to finally get rid of all of my OS9 apps. I originally had them on an external bootable HD. It's now Thanksgiving and I had a few holiday graphics in Corel Print House 2000 I would like to use (OS9). I thought I would reinstall OS X4 and OS9 on the external HD which I did. OSX4 boots fine and classic opens but I can't get it to boot from OS9. I can't reinstall Print House because it says it needs virtual memory to instal.
Any ideas how I could load Print House onto my external HD or how to open a .cxx file? I wonder how I got this app on the external originally. -

QuickTime 7 is a old QuickTime version for MacOS X 10.5. Your clean install of Mac OS X must have erased some older dynamic libraries that GarageBand needs.

ps time machine file was out-datedHow to Use Pacifist to Replace Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist from VersionTracker or MacUpdate. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go to Folder.
In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.
• Click on the "Go" button .....
• Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned.

I'm travelling and have had my iBook G4 connected to the free ADSL here. The computer started acting wierd, and I started troubleshooting. Realized that I had left my firewall off since doing an update with my iMac a few weeks ago.
Can't run Disk Utility - it stops about 1/3 of the way through Permissions verify and/or Permissions Repair.
Anyhow, I re-installed Norton Internet Security, updated the virus definitions and did 2 full scans. Nothing.
If I leave the computer on for more than a few hrs, and then try to start any program, I get a "Can't start application - 10810" message.
Any ideas? I figure I'll reinstall OSX when I get home in a week if nothing else.From what I've heard, the 10810 error is a non-specific error that provides no clue as to what the real problem is.
All I know is that my TiBook 800MHz OS 10.3.9 started exhibiting the same behavior several weeks ago. I've tried everything short of wiping the computer and reinstalling OSX. Disk Utility is a no go. Wondered if maybe my screen saver was the culprit, but disabling had no effect.
My problem was exascerbated by the fact that my Dock would also hang. Couldn't force quit, even using the Process Monitor. I had to do a forced shut down with the power button and restart about four times a day. I traced this problem to the desktop pictures, of all things. Turned off random cycling and the Dock hang went away. Now, at least I can use a real system shutdown/restart when applications won't launch.
It feels to me like a bug in a recent Apple software update. I wish they would track it down, because the situation is quite frustrating.
