Can you still install OS 9 (for classic mode) on Leopard?

I have Tiger running on one of my PPC G5 machines. My son has the They Might Be Giants "No" CD that has an interactive game. I believe I can install OS 9 so that it sees it when running the game in classic mode. We are thinking of upgrading that mac to Leopard. Once I do that, will classic mode still work. I realize with Intel, OS 9 is dead, but since we still have the old PPC mac, I would like to be able to use it. If there is a better spot to ask this question, please let me know.
Thanks

You can't run Classic on Leopard even on a PPC Mac, but what you could do is create and maintain a bootable clone of your current Tiger system on a FireWire external drive. You could then boot the G5 from the Tiger clone when you wanted to run a Classic app.

Can you still install Lion?

Have a 2007 iMac, running Snow Leopard. Tend to stay a gen behind, so legacy software stays compatible. I know Rosetta has been dropped from OSX 10.7, but don't think it'll be a big problem - just checked w/ Roaring Apps and most of my programs (iLife, Adobe CS 4, etc.) are in the green for Lion (not Mountain Lion). Hoping to get a new computer next year, which will mean going to Mountain Lion anyway. Can I still find/install Lion (10.7)? Will it run on my 5-year old iMac? Or am I just better off waiting until I can update computers, Creative Suite, etc. all at once?

If the system is comaptible, yes.

Can you still get internal HDs for the G4 PB 12"?

I still use my trusty 12" Powerbook G4 for my hobby of freelance writing and photography. Indeed, the ONLY thing currently 'wrong' wih it - for what I need from it these days - is that the internal 40Gb hard drive is now way to small for all the stuff I want to keep on it.
Is it still possible to get compatible internal hard drives for it? If I can get a 500Gb internal hard drive, it'll save me the expense of having to buy a whole new laptop. Which seems a bit silly as the Powerbook G4 is still more than adequate in every other way!
(I know I could get an external drive, but an internal one woould be a whole lot better!)
Can anybody help, please?

Robin:
As noted, yes, PATA drives are still available for your computer. Here is a list of available drives for your computer at OWC. You do have a lot of tiny screws to deal with, but it can be managed. The most troublesome are two tiny screws on each side of the case. Be very careful not to damage the heads of the screws. You will also discover that the 1.5 GHz version does not have an EMI finger to be removed, as noted in the step by step directions. In addition to the step by step directions from iFixit here are few tips you may find helpful:
• Print out the ifixit directions as well as the screw guide ahead of time.
• Be sure you have the right tools. You don't want to damage the screw heads or you may never get them out. And the Torx screw driver is critical. For a spudge I use the handle of an old toothbrush (choose one made of hard plastic), cut off the brush and bevelled the handle end like a flat blade screw driver). For some spudge jobs a credit card will do the trick.
• Picking up on one user’s suggestion, I clicked on the pages of each step which involved removing screws to enlarge, then printed out the pages. I poked holes in the paper where the screws were removed, poked the screws in the holes and stacked the pages in order in which the screws were removed. Reassembling was a lot easier. No cups to tip over and spill. No guessing. Each screw was exactly in the right place. You can use an ice cube tray, egg carton, dixie cups etc. I previously used small medicine cups one for the screws in each step. I nested them so that the last ones out and the first to go back in are on top. (Some users report cutting up the screw guide and placing the applicable section in each container.)
• Be very careful pulling out leads. Hold the lead as close to the plug as possible and wiggle (the plug ) to loosen its grip. Don’t hold the wires and pull as that can damage the cable, or worse, in some instances pull the wires out of the plug. Indeed, some users have pulled the socket off the logic board! Use needle nose pliers or tweezers if you can access the plug, or nudge the plug with a small instrument to help loosen its grip.
• Use force gently in removing parts. Separating upper and lower case takes some doing. Use a plastic tool (spudge) so as not to mar the case.
• Refer to the screw guide when reassembling computer. Putting longer screws in the wrong place can perforate the circuit board.
Please do post back with further questions or comments.

Can you still get store credit for non-Apple repaired phone?

Hi all,
My brother has an iPhone 5 which recently has a malfunctioning screen - it is out of warranty so replacing it will cost $250. My family is thinking of switching over to a different carrier and we were planning on returning our iPhones for Apple credit. I was wondering if I were to get a non-Apple certified replacement screen, would I still be able to return the phone for Apple credit? Or, if I were to go ahead with the $250 replacement, will I still get the full credit on the iPhone 5 back (valued at $375)?
Thanks!

Some US Apple stores are now able to in-store repair iPhone 5-series devices...teh price for the screen is $149. Check with your Apple store to see if they can do the repair.

Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed?

Can you still access Windows partition with open firmware password installed? If so, do you still use the Option key upon restart?

I don't use Bootcamp. However, I do know that with a firmware password, pressing the option key at startup will cause the password entry screen to come up; after entering the password, you will get the boot device choice screen.
So, if Bootcamp partitions normally show up on that screen then it should work just fine, or so I'd imagine.

Can you still purchase videos with itunes 6??

Like everyone else I downloaded itunes7, at first I got all error messages, and missing files. I spent 3 hrs. on the phone with Apple technicians and they had me download itunes7 and quicktime separately. Now I can at least open itunes, but that is about it. Itunes played audio but no video, but I went in and disabled the 3D from my video, now the videos play but are fuzzy and freeze. I have a 60GB ipod which I am afraid to sync with my computer. Does that mean if connect my ipod to my computer for synching, that will screw up my ipod?? I tried to uninstall itunes7 and its components and load the itunes cd that came with my ipod itunes 6.01 but it wouldn't work. In my itunes library it doesn't list videos anymore. Only TV shows, music and podcasts? Where did the video listing go? My 60GB ipod was recently purchased with an extended warranty, do you think if I return it and purchase a 80GB with the itunes cd and install that, it might work better? Can you still purchase videos if I manage to somehow get back itunes6?? The Apple technician said they would get back to me but of course they haven't. One last thing, I can finally connect to the itunes store but when I preview a video it freezes.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
While I haven't tried, I would image the answer is no.
Usually when iPods are released with a new iTunes version, they aren't made to be/are made not to be compatible with previous iTunes versions.
It may work, but I can't be sure either way (someone else may have tested this).
In the past, even if iTunes updated the iPod, there tended to be problems syncing.

Installing OS 9 for Classic.

I have recently inherited an iMac G3 350MHz Slot Loading (which I believe was introduces in October 1999). It shipped with OS 9.03 which was systematically over the years updated to OS 9.1.0, 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 respectively. A retail copy of OS X 10.3.4 was installed some time thereafter.
I have since acquiring the machine, formatted the hard drive and reinstalled OS X 10.3.4 (updated to 10.3.9). What I did not realise however was that you actually have to have OS 9 installed in order to run Classic.
Ok great, how do I do this?
I do not appear to be able to install OS 9 on the OS X volume after the OS X installation, using either the Mac OS 9 Installation CD or Mac OS 9-based Software Restore CD which came with your computer.
Can this be done? Do I have to reformat install OS 9 and then install OS X?
Unless I’m missing the point it does not appear that Apple have a guide to installing OS 9 for classic when;
(1) Your computer came with OS 9.03
(2) You purchased a retail copy of OS 10.3x to be installed “on top of” OS 9
(3) You have now formatted the drive (1 partition) reinstalled OS 10.3x and now wish to install OS 9 for classic.
Literature available on the Apple support pages assume that using either a retail Mac OS 9 Installation CD or Mac OS 9-based Software Restore CD which came with your computer. I have neither or do I misunderstand?
The Mac OS X Bible says that it is possible as follows;
(a) Install OS X and reboot
(b) Boot with OS 9 install disc
(c) Create new folder on HD and copy OS X applications into this folder
(d) Install OS 9
(e) Copy back the OS X applications
(f) Reboot.
This works for me until step (d). I get an error saying that the install cannot modify the system folder already installed. Is this because the OS 9 that is trying to install is only 9.0.3?
Suggestions?

Simon:
If you had the checkbox Install Mac OS 9 Drivers checked you can either copy by dragging the OS 9 Applications and System Folders. If you don't have it backed up you have to install from disk. Here are directions for installation in case you need to do it from scratch.

6. Choose Zero all Data, click OK then Erase.
7. Quit Disk Utility and open Installer.
8. You can choose to Customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations and Additional Printer Drivers.
9. Complete installation Process.

Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?

Can you get an Apple ID for corporate use to associate with more than 10 devices?

I don't believe you can. The usual model for iOS app distribution is for each device to have a unique Apple ID and for apps to be acquired separately, either via codes from the Volume Purchase Program or individual purchase through the iTunes Store. The licensing from the iTunes Store doesn't allow an app to be installed on more than one device unless all the devices are being used by a single person, so you legally cannot install one app on multiple corporate devices in the circumstances most businesses use.

If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?

If my iPhone 5 has a cracked screen, can I still trade it in for the iPhone 6?
I know there is the promotion to trade in for a free iPhone 6, but will Verizon take a cracked phone?
I would hope at the least to still get a discount if not a straight up trade.
Appreciate any info if anyone knows.

You can get an appraisal for your phone here https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/home.php5
I think to get the best price towards an iPhone 6 you have to have the appraisal submitted and new phone ordered by tomorrow (9/30/14) You buy the new phone on contract price then they email you a Verizon gift card after they receive your phone and make the final decisions on how much to give you. (Suppose to take 2 weeks after mailing old phone in)
