Classic mode problem

I have been running various applications that require the Classic mode for a couple years now with no problems. Today, though, I noticed that the audio from all such applications now exhibit a slow-motion sound. I tried reloading Classic but that didn't help. Applications running under OSX are still running fine. Any idea on what the problem is?

I take it back. Here is the new report from verifying the disk:
Verifying volume “Mac HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Incorrect number of Extended Attributes
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
Volume Header needs minor repair
Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Mac HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
In addition, I just discovered that the sound is in slow-motion again for Classic Applications. So I am back where I started.
There is something that I have been doing new lately that might relate to this new problem. I am trying to run a hydrodynamic model on my computer that is written in FORTRAN. I successfully compiled the modules (using gfortran) and ran the test cases. I am now trying to create my own case to run. In so doing I must create a pointer from the directory in which the program is run to the directory in which the input data is read and the output results are written (following the test case examples). At first I tried creating an alias for the directory but that didn't work. Next I tried a symbolic link using the following in Terminal:
ln -s/path to data files/ name of link
This created a folder that looked just like the alias that I tried at first, except this worked! However, it still has some different characteristics from the examples in the supplied test cases. Could I be messing things up using that link? It seems to be the new thing that I have done lately.

  • Problems running ed. software in classic mode in OSX - software freezes up.

    Hi,
    I run a school lab. I am wondering if there are things I can do to help troubleshoot running software that requires classic mode. I eMacs that run 10.3.9 - 10.4.8. They all have 512MB of ram. I have the machines boot into classic mode on startup. This is working ok. The problem lies in using the actual software. Obviously some software does not freeze up much. some tend to freeze up frequently. Can anything be done. I have read some threads. The threads I've seen relate to classic mode freezing when it is initially starting up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks, Dan

    As long as classic is starting up ok then you're fine. I would keep a copy of a good trimmed down, System Folder with all of the necessary extensions needed. Then when one goes bad you just delete the bad System Folder and copy in a good one.
    Make sure you set the memory higher on needed classic applications. I have seen this necessary in certain apps. Also, sometimes the standard additions file inside scripting additions will get corrupted.

  • Can't run software in Classic mode

    Boy, I've tried to fix this myself and just can't. I have a new out-of-the-box Mac Mini with a generic USB keyboard. I've got some old Mac software (really old) which is really a main reason I bought the mini. I can't get Classic to run because it's not already installed. I have the OS9.2.1 disc, but I can't boot from the CD (I tried pressing C on bootup -- either my Mac can't boot from CD or my keyboard doesn't communicate properly). When I try to run the OS9 installer to get Classic to work, I get the hair-pulling error message that I need to run the installer in Classic
    mode.
    A friend said I need the discs which came with the Mini, but I don't think there are any. Can the software which should have come with it be downloaded and burned on to a new CD in order to create a bootable CD?
    Argh!!! Please help!
    Warren

    Thanks -- I did try that, just forgot to mention it. the CD isn't one of the options in startup disk. It says I can choose the hard drive or the network, and I've tried both. A friend said that Mac Minis can't boot from CD -- don't know if that's correct or not, but I can't seem to get it as an option.
    I've tried to find any CD that may have come with the Mac Mini -- my friend said to look for one called "additional software and apple hardware test CD that came with the Mac Mini" but that is nowhere to be found. Either it didn't actually come with it (my hunch) or the staff in the receiving department took them out for safekeeping and hid them in a drawer somewhere and have forgotten. (Also possible.)
    I can't imagine that I'm the only person in the world with this problem, but my tech support staff warned me in the first place. I wanted to try using some macs mixed in with our PC setup (because they can run this software, and because it seemed easy) and they said that they wouldn't be able to provide much support, since they're all PC people. I figured "how much support can it need? They're designed to be easy to use!" Oh well.
    I'd really be keen to get any more suggestions from anyone who can help!!

  • How can you FORCE Classic mode to run on an Intel Mac? OS 9 emulation Rosetta Software Design

    Hello everyone, I had a few thoughts on running Classic mode on intel macs which I wanted to share.
    Now I know little about software design, but maybe someone who does could tell me if these ideas I had are at all feasible:
    Now in the first place I now that, technically, "Classic" mode went out back with Tiger because of the switch to Intel chips. Switching to Intel, Rosetta was required to "translate" pre and non-intel OSX applications, with the exception of Classic since Rosetta does not translate deep enough into the system to do that. As a substitute to Classic, SheepShaver, Basilisk II, etc. can be used to emulate OS 9, but these are very lousy applications compared to Classic mode.
    Is there ANY way whatsoever Rosetta could be edited, or Classic itself so that it will work on intel macs?
    (that is, with the exception of 10.7+ systems since these don't even use Rosetta)
    I know if Classic was placed on an intel mac, it would tell you to download Rosetta, but from there will crashes because frameworks in the system's library does not support (or was not designed for) Classic...
    So what I wanted to know:
    What if an old, Classic supporting PowerPC system's library folder was added to an Intel computer in a location other then that computers real system folder (as not to confuse the real, current system) and Classic manually edited so that it would search for the needed frameworks/etc files in the new location? Would it work?
    Since, after all, it now has the correct "system" to run on (which before Rosetta could not convert), do you think there's any chance it would work and function properly?
    Now beyond that, I wouldn't know the actual results (or consequences). I suppose the main problem to consider would be that the the PPC's system frameworks/etc wouldn't work at all on an Intel (which leads us back to Rosetta lacking in this area), and since those frameworks will be searching for other files in the system library (which would bring them to the current, Intel system) the same results would happen: crash! Or maybe sensing the system was mixed up, one or more files would try to "fix" themselves, and in turn destroy the computer's real system.
    So, would it be worth a try?
    I'd love to hear any other thoughts on running Classic on Intel...

    There is an "easier" way to acquire SheepShaver called Chubby Bunny and I have put together a post with some safe links that are relevant to this topic.  I see that emaculation is one of them.
    Why do you need OS 9 greater than 9.04?
    Feel free to let me know if you need any more help.
    With the newer Intel Macs, you have to run a Classic emulator such as SheepShaver, which requires you to extract the Mac ROMs from your older Classic Mac and then install Mac OS 9.
    A related program is Chubby Bunny, which comes bundled with all of that included.

  • Photoshop CC classic mode is different to CS6

    I am currently using a trial of CC. I want to upgrade but the main issue putting me off is the crop tool, I have to crop a lot of images and this new method makes it more difficult.
    I have always used classic mode. By default in CS6 the crop bounding box is already placed on the image. However on CC the default classic mode the crop bounding box isnt placed on the image, I have to drag it each time.
    Is there a way to have the box on the image by default?
    The only way I can see is to turn off classic mode but then theres the issue of having to use the annoying method of moving the canvas rather than the crop box and I dont want to use that
    CC classic crop
    CS6 classic crop

    Can anyone from Adobe help?  I would love to try the Photoshop CC, but have had this problem each time I installed it, so I just use the Photoshop CS6.  I understand there are different features in CC and would love to try them.  Please help me solve this frustrating problem!  Thanks.

  • What iMacs run System 9 software in Classic Mode and also iLife in Sys 10?

    I understand that there were versions of System 10 that ran on iMac G3s that would run old System 9 software in Classic Mode, and also would run iLife (special interest in Garage Band and iMovie). What model of iMac would do this? What hardware requirements should I look for? What would be the optimal configuration to do what I'm trying to do?
    Can I hook up an external floppy drive to an iMac? Are those drive still easily acquirable?
    What versions of systems 10 ran in Classic mode? I've heard that System 10 with Classic mode can be buggy. How significant is this? When did System 10 stop running in Classic mode? Is it traditionsal to get System disks included when you buy an iMac off of eBay?
    Thanx.

    Ed,
    The last version that would boot into classic is 10.4.X (.11 last version). That said I was never a fan of classic mode. It never seemed right to me that's why I set those few up as dual booters. They were used in a classroom with pre k thru middle school kids.
    If you are using classic mode and it runs good for you than go for it.
    My computer at school runs at 600 Mhz and has 256 Mb of memory. How much memory would you suggest.
    Tiger will actually run at 256 but would be better at 512 or 768.
    How would a machine like that do as part of a wireless network?
    It should do fine. It will need a special adapter (which I can supply) and the original Airport Card.
    Could it be connected to a network that's administered by a PC?
    Should be no problem. Our's is set up that way and wireless Macs work fine. The problem I've seen w/ PC administered networks is the Administrator him/herself.
    what is a G3 slot loader?
    There were two types of G3 iMacs, the early tray loaders and the later slot loaders.
    700 and 800 eMacs will also run OS 9.
    So I just upgraded our music room at the school. It has iMac G3s 450 - 600s, eMac 1.25s, G4 Minis and Intel Minis. So we're running iLife 09 and 05.
    Garage Band 09 will only run in 10.5.6 and that will only run on a G4 or better w/ a processor 867 MHz or faster. My son runs it on his eMac 1.25 GHz w/ 1.5 GB RAM.
    Oh for your kid check out Kid's Pix 4 it runs in either OS. Our kids are also crazy about Zoombinis.

  • How to debug a failed shopping cart transfer to ECC in classic mode

    Hello,
    I am using SRM 5 in classic mode, connected to ECC 6.0.
    I have an error message in the administrator monitor that tells me a transfer a shopping cart to ECC has failed.
    "Shopping cart 1000000123: Error creating the follow-on document"
    (Message is BBP_PU 367)
    This is located in the "local errors" section of the administrator monitor.
    The follow on doucment will be a PO in ECC.
    This message does not tell me the cause of the problem therefore I need to retrnsmit the cart and debug to find the error message that is being returned from ECC.
    I have browsed the forum and there are various answers about debugging but but have not found exact instructions on how to debug, and it is now always clear on whether the instructions apply to classic or extended classic.
    I have seen reference to the method in note 539978 that creates test data with FBGENDAT for the ECC BAPI. However this method does not seem suitable for a production system because it will interfere with all shopping carts being transferred while the shoppign cart with the problem is being debugged.
    Therefore I would like to debug in SRM just for the shoppign cart with the problem.
    Hopefully this thread will become the defintiive poitn of reference for debuggin a classic shopping cart transfer to ECC  in SRM 5.
    I propose to use function module BBP_PD_SC_TRANSFER to transfer the shopping cart again by entering the shopping cart GUID.
    Question 1) Can this error message be returned by checks in SRM before the BAPI is called in ECC? If so, where do I place a breakpoint to find the error determined by the checks in SRM?
    Question 2) If the system is getting as far as calling the BAPI in ECC, is it possbile to find the error message passed back from ECC by this approach, given that the actual transfer is carried out by the spooler?
    Question 3) If this approach is valid, in which method/function module do I need to place a breakpoint, at which statement is the error message passed back to SRM from ECC?
    Your help would be appreciated,
    Reagrds

    Hi Paul,
    a small correction to Dishas comment:
    The class CL_BBP_BS_ADAPTER_PO_CRT_470_1 is used for the backend release 4.7, so it is not relevant for you. Instead of this, you have to take the CL_BBP_BS_ADAPTER_PO_CRT_ERP10 and method CREATE_DOCUMENT. This is the last step, before the SRM calls the backend system.
    From the alert "local errors" I suppose, that there is an error in the SRM customizing (in case the error message comes from the backend system, you get the message into the "Backend Application error").
    Typical customizing error, when e.g. the number range of the purchase REQUISITION is not correctly customized (in case the prerequisits for a PO are not fulfilled, the system tried to create a purchase requisition). See the note 1173815 regarding this problem.
    Back to your questions:
    The activating of the FBGENDAT was a good idea, but I would give here two hints:
    - I case of production system you can use only the "Mode B".
    - Activate the FBGENDAT only for a short term:
    -- at first set the breakpoint in the method CREATE_DOCUMENT (as above described)
    -- execute the BBP_PD_SC_TRANSFER
    -- you will be stopped at the breakpoint.
    -- Now you can activate the FBGENDAT in the backend
    -- go on with F8 in the debugger in the SRM system
    -- >>> test data will be filled in the backend system (BAPI_PO_CREATE1)
    -- deactivate the FBGENDAT
    You can do this in one min. and the worst what can happen is that you have 2-3 test data in the BAPI_PO_CREATE1 additionally to the erronous SC.
    Question 1) Can this error message be returned by checks in SRM before the BAPI is called in ECC? If so, where do I place a breakpoint to find the error determined by the checks in SRM?
    - Maybe... Places for setting breakpoints
    -- FM "BBP_PD_MSG_ADD"
    -- System command "RAISE"
    -- FM "META_BAPI_DISPATCH" (typical problem, see above, and also the note 1173815)
    Question 2) If the system is getting as far as calling the BAPI in ECC, is it possible to find the error message passed back from ECC by this approach, given that the actual transfer is carried out by the spooler?
    - Yes, you can find the message in the:
    -- Test data of the BAPI_PO_CREATE1, if you have activated the FBGENDAT
    -- In the method CREATE_DOCUMENT if you "comes back" from the RFC call from the backend
    Question 3) If this approach is valid, in which method/function module do I need to place a breakpoint, at which statement is the error message passed back to SRM from ECC?
    - see above, CL_BBP_BS_ADAPTER_PO_CRT_ERP10 method CREATE_DOCUMENT
    Kind regards,

  • How can I change 'attach a file' back from classic mode to regular mode

    I was having a problem attaching a file (it was the file's fault, not FF) and switched to the 'classic' mode. I prefer the 'regular', previous mode and cannot figure out how to switch it back. I'm hoping when I reopen it it will revert to 'normal', but I would like to go back to the regular mode. I went to the tools (gear) page and flicked the attach section back and forth to the 'show progress bar setting it was originally on but it didn't work. Help?

    Hi Prem,
    You can attach this manually in the document tab of BP. Thats the standard functionality.

  • Cannot start Classic mode after 10.3.9 update

    Hi!
    I recently used the "Software Update" tool to update my 10.3 OS version to 10.3.9. After doing this, I found that I could no longer start Classic mode while in OSX. I did a clean install and can boot using OS 9.2.2, no problems. But I still cannot launch Classic while in OSX.
    The exact error message is: "There is a problem with updating the Classic-specific files. Classic was unable to update its file in "System Folder" on "Macintosh HD".
    I have a graphite G4 with 384 MB RAM and I'm still running a helluva lot of OS 9 software. Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the help

    Hi, Joe -
    Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
    Try removing the 'old' Classic-specific files from the OS 9 System Folder (you can do this while booted to either OS, although I suggest doing it while booted to OS 9).
    These files include - Classic, Classic Support, and Classic Support UI (all usually located loose in the System Folder); Classic RAVE (in Extensions folder); and ProxyApp (someplace - location seems to vary).
    Put those in the Trash and empty it, then restart into OSX and try designating the OS 9 System Folder as Classic via the Classic pane in OSX's System Preferences (in Apple menu).

  • Why do some old Mac programs run slowly in Classic mode?

    I successfully installed OS 9 Classic Mode on an eMac.  At first, some of my old programs (Thinkin' Things, Millie's Math House, both edmark) ran fine, but as time went on they started jerking and freezing as they ran.  I re-started and it continued to do the same thing.  Any ideas on why these programs run slowly like this? 

    I gathered the info you suggested in previous message, but I was wondering if you could help me interpret it.
    Here's what I got:
    In Activity Monitor; System Memory; Page ins/outs = 12277/0.
    Memory is listed as 1.024 MB, with 822.11 MB free.
    I looked under CPU tab in Activity Monitor and did not exactly now what I was looking for.  What should I do with the CPU #'s?
    I opened Console in Utilities & there were any clues or repeating messages.
    The 40 MB hard drive has 9 MB free.
    I ran the 9.2 CD-based educ. software again.  Some does not boot up.  Some run fine.  Others are choppy at times. 
    Anyway, does this info suggest anything to you.  I wonder if it's a compatability issue between System 10.4.11, Classic Mode and the Power PC chip?  Was this common with Classic Mode? 
    I thank you so much in adavance dor any suggestions on how to solve this problem.

  • Which recent Macs run OS9 best in Classic Mode?

    I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the proper forum. I wasn't sure where to post.
    I have a old Power Mac tower with OS9 that's taking up a lot of space and I'd love to get rid of it. I've been using OSX on my laptop for years.
    The problem is that I have zillions of documents in OS9 that I need occasionally so I'd like to transfer them to a newer and smaller computer that's capable of running Classic mode reasonably well. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks!
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hi monimac;
    Since all of the recent Macs are based on the Intel processor which is incapable of supporting Classic, the short answer is none.
    As I see it you have two choices here, either migrate the documents over to an application that runs under OS X or get a second hand systm that still supports Classic.
    When I made the migration from OS 9 to OS X, I did not find converting my documents over to OS X applications to be that difficult of am undertaking.

  • Error prevents launch of Cleaner5 in classic mode

    I recently installed OS 10.4, updated to 10.4.8, on a Mac G4 867 'Quicksilver' machine.
    When I try to launch Cleaner5 in classic mode (9.2.2) I get the following error: "cannot find movie exporter interface".
    The application launches fine if I boot my computer in OS9. Previously, it had launched in classic under OS 10.3.9.
    About all I use this program for at present is to create Real Audio files (low band, for folks with dial-up.)
    Unfortunately there is an additional problem when I boot in OS9. Most if not all of the FCP/Quicktime files since I installed Quicktime7 and FCP5 are not recognized by Quicktime 6.0.3 or Cleaner5 when I boot the computer up in OS 9.2.2
    What is the problem here?

    This is resolved. I had the wrong OS9 system folder set under the classic pane of System Preferences. (I am in the process of moving OS9 to a new volume in order to make more space on my OSX boot drive, but haven't copied all the system extensions).
