Cannot install OS9.2.1 system anymore.

Hello,
I've read some posts that some can't install OS9.2.1. I had OS9.2.1 installed before and now I can't seem to install it using the c key. I get a gray screen.
My gigabit G4 dual 450 with 1.5RAM and 60GB drives allowed me to boot up into 9 so I could run my old apps and dis-continued filters.
Any suggestions. Thanks.
Mark

HI, PB -
The option in OSX's Disk Utiltity to install OS 9 drivers applies only to installing them on a hard drive.
Yes, in the absence of those drivers the machine can not be booted to OS 9 on that hard drive; and, that hard drive can not be mounted when the machine is booted to any OS 9, including OS 9 on another bootable hard drive or to a bootable CD.
However, it has nothing to do with the machine being able to boot to a CD. Additional volumes are mounted after the machine has nearly completed booting to the OS on the boot volume, not before - so no files, or their lack, on a non-boot volume can affect booting. If this were the case, then a G4 could not boot if there were no hard drive - but they can, and do.
I suppose it could happen that if a dual-drive machine had the Master drive without OS 9 drivers but the Slave drive with them, then booting to an OS 9 CD might choke at the end of the booting process - trying to read an ATA bus with a visible Slave but no visible Master might confound the OS. However, I've seen no reports of that (although I may have missed them).

How do I overcome the error 7 during Premier Elements 13 install? "cannot install on 64-bit system"

I purchased and downloaded Adobe Premier Elements 13 and when I try to install the program I get error code 7 that it cannot install on 64-bit system. However the system requirements for the program says it is supported on windows 8; 64-bit.

Please download and install Premiere Elements 13 tryout files from the following web site and insert your purchased serial number in them during installation. Often this route is preferred if there are problems with alternative routes to obtain installation files for the program.

Cannot Install this Hardware - The system cannot find the file specified.

I got an 8G ipod touch last week. When I plug it into USB port on my PC, a Found New Hardware Wizard box pops up with "Cannot Install this Hardware", "There was a problem installing this hardware: Apple Mobile Device USB Driver", "An error occurred during the installation of the device", "The system cannot find the file specified.", "Click Finish to close the wizard.". If I go ahead and click finish, the device disappears and a couple of seconds later tries to install again and the box pops up again. However, if I leave the box alone, the ipod does actually appear in itunes and I can sync music to it, so all is not lost Any ideas though how to stop this error box popping up? The USBAAPL.SYS driver exists - I don't know what file it cannot find. Thanks.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
if you have a Leopard OSX DVD you can use it to install the BootCamp 2.0 drivers and later use the BC Update 2.1 for XP to further update the drivers.
If not (still running OSX Tiger) there are two possibilities:
use this direct download link for the latest ATI/AMD Mobility Driver package http://ati.amd.com/online/mobilecatalyst/
or use the ModTool found here http://www.driverheaven.net/modtool.php in conjunction with the ATI/AMD Desktop Driver package.
You should also consider getting and installing the latest (June 2008) DirectX 9 package from Microsoft.
Hope it helps with your gaming problems.

Cannot install OS after erasing system

I recently erased my iMac as it kept shutting down with a kernel error. When I tried to reinstall the OS it again kept crashing. I have now removed all but the original 2 ram modules and it stays on but I cannot install the OS
I managed to get past the rotating globe and followed the instructions to install via internet (Mac came without any discs) I signed in with apple id and was given one otion, to install OS Mavericks. It then said I have not purchased mavericks on my apple ID and so cant install it, giving me no option than to cancel the download. There was an OS on the system when I bought it and I had upgraded this to Lion? but I have never used Mavericks. How do I get past this and install the OS please.
The iMac is an intel i3 system with just the 4GB of original ram installed
I have tried signing in to the apple store on other devices to try and purchase the free mavericks os but cannot seem to do this either
Thanks for any help that you can give

Contact Apple and purchase replacement discs for the computer. They should have been included from whomever you purchased it.
You can try Internet Recovery if your model is in this list: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery. After installing the firmware update, if needed, here's what you will need to do:
Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
2. After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro. It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, use the migration assistant or click the lock to make changes, it simply does not react.

Hello, I need help with my macbook pro.
It looks like I cannot install anything anymore. Everytime I try to install a new software, I simply get stuck during the installation type process. I put in my password, it does accept it, but it does not go any further.
I tried to reset the password, put no password, repair the permissions, the disk but nothing will do. I nearly got stuck with the log in screen but finally succeeded in disabling it.
So I thought I might try to create a new account but I cannot click the lock to make changes. It simply refuses to react.
I am now thinking about using the migration assistant to save all my settings, data and so fourth, but again I get stuck when I have to type in my password. It accepts it but nothing happens...
I guess it has something to do with the authorization process, but can't find anything on the internet about it... Can you help me out?
I am running Lion 10.7.3.
Regards,
Nicolas.
(I apologize if any grammatical/structural mistakes were to be found, english is not my mother-tongue. )

You probably won't like this suggestion, but I suggest you reinstall Lion.
First, backup your system. Next, reboot your system, press/hold the COMMAND-R keys to boot into the Recovery HD. Select 'Reinstall Mac OS X'. If you purchased Lion as an upgrade to Snow Leopard, the reinstall process will install Lion 10.7.3. If your system came preinstalled with Lion, you might still get Lion 10.7.2. Both installs are a total install of the OS. None of your apps or data will be impacted. Just the OS.

Hello, Edward.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I think the best option would be to completely uninstall all components of iTunes in the order specified of the article below. Once this is done attempt to install iTunes again.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

Cannot install itunes 10.6, or quicktime 7, tried the system config utility, uninstalled itunes

I've uninstalled all security programs, followed the apple instructions using the system configuration utility, run windows update on my XP SP3 system, and I've uninstalled all apple programs including itunes and quicktime. i cannot install the new itunes (10.6) or quicktime 7 - i keep getting an installer warning. I find it exceedingly frustrating that the installer fails so consistently and that there's no clear set of instructions to resolve the problems. i've found 5 different sets of instructions that include remove this, do that, and i've followed them, and probably cleaned up my PC lots, but still no apple software. very irritating. way to go apple for customer support - i got disconnected after a long wait once i finally got to talk to a human to try to find out why my serial number on my ipod doesn't register me to get to *you guessed it* SOFTWARE customer support. as if that requires me to have the bleeding HARDWARE.

Perfect, thanks.
iTunes error (!symbol) "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor."
Perhaps let's first try updating your Apple Software Update.
Launch Apple Software Update ("Start > All Programs > Apple Software Update"). Does it launch and offer you a newer version of Apple Software Update? If so, choose to install just that update to Apple Software Update. (Deselect any other software offered at the same time.)
If the ASU update goes through okay, try another iTunes install. Does it go through without the errors this time?

After 9i (9.2.0.1)Install on Windows 2003 cannot login as sys/sysdba/system

Hello all,
I need to someone's help.
I just installed Oracle After 9i (9.2.0.1)Install on Windows 2003.
I can only login using scott/tiger.
cannot login as sys/sysdba/system
I used Oracle dtabase Configuration Assistant. At the last step it asked me if I want to change sys and system passwords, I did. However, I cannot verify if system took those. The default combinations system/manager sys/change_on_install are not working.
As well as my new passwords.
How can I resolve it?
Thank you in advance,
Sonya

Recall what you used and you should be able to login .
OR
On windows create new password for sys user. This should work for you since you are on windows OS
back up the file in you ORACLE_HOME/database/PWD<SID>.ora
Create a new one using
orapwd file=...database/PWD<sid>.ora password=<new password> entries=5
stop the oracleService<SID>
start the oracleService<SID>
sqlplus /nolog
connect sys as sysdba
Enter password: <new password>
You should be able to login with this new password created

I am having the exact same problem with trying to sync my iPad with my computer. To make a long story short, I had to reinstall Windows for my computer and therefore had to reinstall itunes.
I have done back ups in the past for my ipod touch and other ipods with no problems, but unfortunately I have never been able to back up my iPad. During a sync, the iPad would always disconnect from my computer and it would never finish. it would say the connection was lost, but nothing is wrong with the connection.
So now I have over 100 apps and thousands of pictures that I am afraid will be deleted if I run the sync in itunes. I have tried to transfer purchases and it goes through the list of apps, but nothing is ever transferred.
Any help would be appreciated. I am not interested in jailbreaking my iPad to solve this problem. There should be a fix for this and I want to upgrade to ios 4.3 as the original poster. Please help
