Classic 9 to OS X PROBLEM

I just got this imac, the one with the flat panel lcd on the articulating arm.
If you know what it's called, let me know.
Anyway, I installed os x 10.3.9 on a erased disc.
It works fine but now I want to run OS9 apps so I tried to install OS9 by booting up from the CD but it won't startup from the CD.
Should I have installed OS9 first and then OS X?
Is there another way to do this without starting all over?
Hardware Overview:
Machine Model: iMac
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 700 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
Memory: 512 MB
Bus Speed: 100 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.4.0f1

Other than being called the sunflower or desklamp, I believe the official Apple name was "iMac Flat Panel."
The linked image is a 17-inch widescreen iMac G4 (based on the shape of the screen). However, the specs you listed shows a 700 MHz CPU, which was the first G4 iMac with the 15-inch display.
The first G4 iMacs needed Mac OS 9.2.2 or later. Therefore, if you try to boot it with a Mac OS 9 Install CD that is before 9.2.2, it will probably not boot. So what version is that Mac OS 9 Install CD?
There is not need to install Mac OS 9 first.

Unknown Device ipod Classic and Windows Vista problem??

Help!! My ipod Classic is not being recognized by my computer. I have read the previous articles and tried the solutions but I continue to get the result "Windows has determined that the driver software is up to date" I continue to get the error noise when I plug the USB in and the Device manager continues to say "Unknown Device" It seems others are having this problem, how do I fix this?

I am having the same trouble with mine, and I can say that it isn't iTunes, I plugged my brothers iPod Nano in and it worked like a charm, but when I plugged my iPod Classic 160g in all it says is it is an "unknown divice". It isn't Vista either as the same thing happens on XP Pro as well, so all I can think of is it is a error on the Classic itself. I just wish someone can help out so that I can use my ipod!!!! Come on Apple!!!! Solve this problem!!!!

Ipod classic 80gb video podcasts problem

i have a 80gb ipod classic and when i try to watch video podcasts on it, it will play for about 4 minutes and then either quit playing it or will restart the iPod all together. i have restored my ipod in itunes 7 & 8, and both did nothing to help this problem. does anyone have anything to say do tell me to do to help with this problem?

No, the iTunes Store doesn't make any podcasts (except maybe New Music Tuesday... or is that one gone again...?). But it could be an issue with the people who make the podcast.

Crazy tiger, classic and 2906 scsi problem

Sorry, long post to follow.
A list seems the best way to describe this problem
1) I found an old scsi drive that had os 9.22 on it and wanted to run it in classic on os 10.4.11
2) I installed the old adaptec 2906 card in a G4 Digital Audio connected the drive and booted into tiger.
3) The harddrive was visible in the finder and under the "classic" preferences.
4) I started classic off of the scsi drive and everything was fine. I opened a couple of programs and all was good.
5) I rebooted for some reason (without stopping classic).
6) Tiger would not reboot. Nothing I tried would boot the computer. I would get the grey bootup screen with the apple but the spinning wheel would not show up. I waited up to 30 minutes at one point for something to happen.
7) I removed the drive (unplugged it from power and the bus) and still no boot.
8) I removed the scsi card and still no boot.
9) restarted from CD and repaired the drive.
10) Yeah, Tiger boots up.
11) I think all is fixed and reconnect everything.
12) No boot again!!!
What could have happened after that first bootup? The drive seems to fire up as it did the first time (it is loud and hard to miss).
Could the scsi card be dead after the one reboot?
If I added an extension to the os 9 drive would that have an effect on Tiger booting (I find this unlikely but thought i would ask)?
One other thing and this may be Important. I also have an IDE controller card Acard AEC-62800M installed which seems to show up as a scsi card.
Any Ideas would be great.

I also have an IDE controller card Acard AEC-62800M installed which seems to show up as a scsi card.
I've seen that with several PCI/IDE cards and would consider it normal.

IPod Classic 160gb hold switch problem

Sorry if this has been asked and answered before, but my searches were coming up a bit short. I've got a friend who purchased a 160GB classic, and since buying it she has been unable to use the hold switch to keep buttons from getting pressed and turning the iPod on while sleeping (say, in a backpack, etc.).
I personally just restored the software to 1.1.1 and have done several resets, etc. I have been successful in getting the device to hold while off a total of 4 times. What happens is that you can put the device to sleep either by holding play/pause, or using the sleep menu item, and that works fine. The problem is when you then try to lock it in sleep, it turns on, and stays on indefinitely. While in this "on and locked" state, it's not playing music or really doing anything other than displaying the menu.
Any help is appreciated. I did nothing but talk up the iPod to her until she went and bought one, now she's regretting her purchase.
Thanks in advance.

A restore would have ruled out the possibility of corrupted software/data. So at this point, we can be certain that the hold switch is faulty and needs to be replaced. Either that or replace the entire iPod.
Here is Apple's repair pricing.

There are also third party services out there that will cost less. Just Google for "iPod repair" and you should get a number of hits.

Dear Islamic Brother, assalamu alaikum!
i had the same problem with my 6120c phone. the original version in my set was 4.2 and i updated it to 5.11 myself. afterwards Islamic Organizer was not installing. but im glad to find a very simple solution myself.
Important: All your data and installed applications will be removed permanently. So you should take backup of all your data on phone memory (contacts, calender items, sms, images etc) and though not necessary but in order to be safer - remove your memory card before following these steps:
- Turn off your phone
- Press and hold '*' '3' and 'call' buttons, and while holding all these three buttons simultaneously, and press 'ON' button. (this may sound difficult but when you will try to do this you will find it easy)
- Keep all these four buttons press until your phone starts
- If you have done it correctly the phone will ask you to enter your country, city, time and date, etc.
- Go to Menu>Download - refresh the list and download Islam Organiser again.
- That's all!!
May we all respect our prayer timings!

Still having problems connecting my iPod 3Gen.
I have tried connecting the iPod through an iPod dock into the MacPro but still it drains any power from the battery.
I thouhgt the iPod should go into charge mode when connected to the MacPro?
It's very annoying becuase if I want to edit my iPod tracks I have to connect to iTunes on my MacPro and therefore the battery strength is greatly reduced.
Any advice please?

IPod classic 60 GB major problem

I switched on my cousins iPod classic 60 GB and there was a message that connect to a PC, so I connected it to a PC without iTunes and it required iTunes so I've installed it there and it was unable to restore at the beginning, after doing some tips from Internet I could manage to restore it but the major problem is that its capacity now is only 15.8 GB so I've tried to reset and format nothing is working(even on mac), I think there is something wrong with the MBR or MFT, so if you can help reseting the MBR and MFT or in any way to solve this problem I'll be thankful, because it's really annoying when something went wrong with things that do not belong to you............
you can mail me on: [email protected]

Actually.....people DON'T have an iPod Classic 60 GB, because there is no such thing. You may have a 60 GB 5 Gen or 5.5 Gen Ipod video, but technically that is not an iPod Classic. Your question may reciueve a better response in the master catagory for 5Gen iPods.

Solution to ipod classic connection and sync problems in windows xp

Was having problems syncing and copying songs to my 80 GB classic on windows xp. Itunes would become unresponsive etc. Turns out these issues were related to a program called res.exe which is part of a usb mass storage toobox, which does not appear to be essential to windows.
In add/remove programs, I uninstalled "USB Mass Storage Toolbox", and my ipod classic now syncs as it should.

Help - Classic/Movie Magic Budgeting problem

I'll try and make this as short as possible. When we updated my girlfriend's G4 Powerbook to 10.4 a while back Classic stopped working (but she didn't need it at the time so it wasn't an issue.) Then she needed to use Movie Magic Budgeting in Classic so we did an archive and install of OS 10.4 and Classic started working. Then I did something stupid.
I went and installed Movie Magic Budgeting 5.2. I realized after I installed it that I should have installed Version 5.6, so I did.
It turns out if you install the newer version over the old one it creates a problem with Movie Magic 5.6 not recognizing 5.6 files, it only recognizes 5.2 files. (You're supposed to uninstall 5.2 then install 5.6, but I did not reaize this.) So I can't open any 5.6 files in 5.6 like I should and when I save a newly created budget the file that appears has the 5.2 icon instead of the 5.6 icon.
I've tried uninstalling both 5.2 and 5.6 with the uninstall option in each of the installers, but I keep getting a message that said not all files have been deleted. So I've searched and deleted everything I can find, including the preferences.
I've reinstalled just 5.6, but keep geting the same issue with the files. Also, when I check the prefernces, it seems like even though I've been installing only 5.6, the prefernce icon looks like it is for 5.2.
So I'm hoping someone here might have an idea as to what I can try.
Thanks

I got the same thing and just went to my music (b/c that's the only thing else I had on it) and clicked a button to sync all my music also. That's probably not the approved solution or a pretty way but it worked for me.
Good luck!

IPod Classic 3Gen battery/Mac problem

Hello all.
When I connect my iPod Classic 3G (mono screen with the 4 touch buttons and scroll wheel) into my Mac using the USB port, after a while all the power stored in the iPod's battery is drained (depending how long it's connected) and even drained to empty where I have to connect it to an electrical socket to charge back up again.
What is going wrong and what can I do about it please?
Thanks in advance!

Ipod Classic 120gb TV out problem

Hi all,
I've been searching the web for quite some time now and the problem I have has gotten me fairly fustrated. I have searched the apple site, forums and support as well as other ipod-related sites, to no avail.
This is my problem.
After a fair amount of researching (more than I ought should be necessary) I found the right cable for my ipod's TV out fucntion.
After having purchased my cable (http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB129LL/B) several initial problems arose.
First of all, the ipod states that the cable is not connected. I hook up the cable though the iPod connecting port at the bottom, plug in the red, white and yellow tulips in the TV and the USB either in the charger or computer. In either case the cable will not be recognised.
From there on I have started my search for a solution. Several ways have been offered on the internet, none of them worked. One, however, lead to some progress.
When I reset my device (through holding select+menu) and enabled my TV out signal in the video playback settings menu, the signal works, but for a mere 30 seconds max. After that, the video out signal stops, my ipod goes back to the video selection menu and when I try to reinitiate the video it goes back to saying something in the likes of "TV out enables, please connect a video assesory", where problem I first encountered.
This means it is NOT the cable, as it cleary works after a reset. Something in my iPods soft- or hardware is blocking the signal after 30 seconds, and by now I really, REALLY want to know why.
So please, if there is anybody who can tell me why this is happening, it would be GREATLY appreciated, as this is starting to drive me mildly insane.
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
John

Yes, I bought the dock so I could hook it up to my tv. Then I had to buy the cable, I didn't get the cable from Apple. at the time the cable was $50, I went to ebay & found the same cable for about $20. Just like you, I could not find an answer about why the dumb thing wouldn't work, so I just had do my own experiments. Good luck getting Apple to do anything. They don't seem to want to give anything away or replace merchandise.
Take care!!

IPod Classic 160gb Video sync problem

My iPod Classic will only sync certain video files, files around 2gb or smaller. I have Quite a few digital copies and I would like to be able to synch all of them at one point or another. I have a few video files that are around 4gb and when dragged to the sync que it drops into the device, starts to sync, syncs without transferring the video file, and says sync complete without error message.
I also have digital copies of Game of Thrones that I would like to load on to there but they do the same thing. I have tried in the general sync settings to allow the choose your files option as well as the general sync all options with no previal. Its like the iPod will not sync any of the television shows at all. not even a special feature episode.
I have iTunes version 11.1.4.62 with iPod system version 2.0.4 running on a windows 7 laptop. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your helpful comments.
