Classic problems

I haven't tried to use Classic for ages but today I downloaded some demo software that will only run in Classic and when I tried to launch it I got a message saying that the application couldn't find a printer and telling me to use the Chooser to select a printer and start again. Apart from the fact that this seems to be a nonsensical message when trying to launch an application I couldn't get to the Apple drop down menu to get to Chooser anyway. In addition, instead of getting the '9' icon in my dock when starting Classic I got 'hpinkjet engine'. I've tried reinstalling Classic from my computer's CD Rom but still have the same problem!!!
Does anyone have any ideas what is going on??
Thanks
Vivien

Hi - Thanks for both those suggestions. The original problem with the downloaded software was, as you thought, in fact a quirk in the software which the developer explained how to get round. Trying to sort the second problem has proved more tricky. It took 25 minutes of holding down the C key during restart to get my computer to boot from my Panther CD and even then I couldn't get it to give me DU - just never ending spinning beach ball!!! Did manage to get it to boot from DiskWarrior CD though and did a rebuild from that - but it hasn't fixed the problem of getting 'hpinkjet engine' in the dock when I launch Classic instead of 9 icon. Do you think I have a major HD problem or just a faulty Panther CD?

    A virus is the last thing you should be worried about.
    You could have corrupt application files. You might also want to check your firmware version *#0000#
    and see if you are using the latest one, otherwise an update could see your phone running a lot smoother Altogether 

  • Does Tiger present Classic problems not found in Panther?

    I have been running various old OS9 apps via Classic under 10.3.6 without any apparent problems.
    I may now need to run them on a laptop with Classic under 10.4.
    I have heard that some problems are presented with certain Classic apps in Tiger that are OK in Panther. Is this the case? If so does anyone know which apps are problematic in Tiger?
    I would be particularly concerned about Adobe Photoshop 5.0 LE.
    Thanks,

    Barbara,
    I'm resurrecting this thread because of an associated problem, albeit not to do with Classic but with OSX.
    The point isn't so much 'what doesn't it do?' as does it give me anything I need. However I downloaded the Earthbound Light effects and used Curves from there in PSE2 without problems in OS9 (although nowhere near as conveniently as in PSLE5).
    But moving to OS 10.4 has presented a problem in that the Earthbound Light folder shows up in the Effects tab, but there is nothing in it. I have given full details in a question in the Adobe Forums at http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx/.3bc1e270 and would be grateful if you could spare the time to look at it.

  • Nokia 3120 classic problem!

    My nokia 3120 classic call volume gets very low at times. This happend 5-6 times. And when i restart the phone, everything is back fine. Please help me how to solve this problem.

    NSU stands for the Nokia Software Updater (you will find the link to download it here) But right nw i saw that you device is yet not compatible . In that case if your phone needs a firmware update then nokia care centre is the only way out.But, before that try all possible things sujjested by other users.
    In case you would like to knw what are the risks involved while updating via NSU, your phone needs to be fully charged. In case the device shuts off in between in process,your phone needs a care centre job after that.you also need to back up your files before using the pc suite and restore it when the update has been done.

  • 6700 classic problem

    Hi,
    I've just started to have a problem with my 6700 classic phone. When I send a text message it places the message in the "outbox" menu whilst the message is sending before transfering it automatically into the "sent messages" section once the text is sent.
    This evening however it has stopped doing that, the message stays in the "outbox" section and the moving arrows at the top of the screen (which indicate the text message is sending) are remaining highlighted and moving and my messages are sending 2 or 3 times.
    Any advice, songs, quotes, limericks, anecdotes or stories would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.
    DaveB

    Yo!
    I don't know what it exactly may be, but you could try to turn it off, pull out the battery and see...
    If the reboot won't fix it I it might be a network issue, so no need to cry my friend, don't bother pulling out that tissue.
    Having thousands of text might cause this behavier... so deleting some of the messages, might be your savior!
    Cheers

  • Classic problem

    I can't play any of my classic games since upgrading to Tiger. Baldur's Gate 1 is especially frustrating. It now freezes every time it comes to a specific part of the game. I've tried deleting and re-installing it but the same problem happens just after the start of a new game.
    It used to work fine under 10.3.x
    Any suggestions?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    I suggest upgrading to a Mac OS X version of Baldur's Gate:

  • Continual Ipod classic problems

    I would like to say first that I have been very patient waiting for an update to supposedly fix the problems of not being able to use mt ipod classic 160 I have owned for about a month and a half and it has been replaced about 6 times one of which time was at the apple store where it also crashed for them. I have tried everything loading it manually sometimes day by day slowly it would reach a point and just do the same thing over again. I am at my wits end, thank god I still have my rugged old click wheel ipod to get me through the day. A couple of days ago I saw that there was itunes update 7.5 so I downloaded it that said it fixed some ipod classic issues, I went to this discussion forum for a couple days and didnt see much activity about the ipod classic so I thought maybey there was a cure. I then today went to my closet where the last ipod I received from the apple store was and proceeded to load it. Everything seemed fine until the end when the ipod ejected itself it said it was safe to disconnect... I disconnected it and it went into a continual crash with the apple logo displayed. I then connected it again this time putting it into disk mode and did a restore halfway through the restore I got a message saying that the ipod was corrupted. The ipod ejected and again went into the apple screen crash and I connected it and put it into disk mode again and reconnected it and proceeded to restore it. The fist restoration attempt gave me a message of unable to restore the ipod error 1419 so I tired it a second time. The second restoration was succesful and the ipod began to load. It then disconnected and did same thing over again continual crashing. So the last step was to again to start it in disk mode and I restored again only to be able to not load anything onto it and restore back to the factory settings so it will turn off so I can return it back to the closet and continue to be frustrated and disappointed in my purchase. it is pretty bad when you spend close to 400 dollars for something and you cant use it. I need a solution.

    Thanks for your concern. I am using Vista and its a bummer because I have a G3 ibook and probably wouldnt be having this problem if I were using it. But I have to use a PC for work and I wanted all my music on my computer also for traveling on business. I just think there are some bugs for Vista and they can't iron them out yet. There silence on issues is quite frustrating I am very disapointed in my purchase. I was going to bu an Archos player and decided to be loyal to apple because even though I am on a PC for work I have had nothing but Apple computers from the beginning. I think there support is lagging a little on the ipod classic. I guess the only thing I can do is wait for another update from Apple. Because when i take my computer and my ipod classic to them they get the same result I do and they don't know how to support it. I have no options at this point. I was looking forward to buying movies and music videos too. Back to the closet shelf.

  • Some classic problems....

    Hi,
    Thanks for taking the time to read this. I've had a Power Mac G3 (all in one, biege) system for a while. My daughter is almost 3 and she had been using the MAC for her games, but she started to have interest in going online to Disney channel. I had to install MAC OS X for that (cause the flash plugin wouldn't run in the old browser we had). I installed MAC OS X, it had to erase the disk to make it a mac extended disk (?? I think). After I installed OS X I installed MAX OS 9.2 (which came with the MAC OS X disks).
    So I have run into two problems so far
    1 - I had setup the classic environment to startup when my daughter logs in, however; whenever she tries to start a classic app it fails. There is no error message. Usually the program will look as though it is starting but just kind of stop with a black screen (the finder menu is still there). These apps are flash based MAC os 9 games (Reader Rabbit, Seaseme st Baby etc...). Now the odd part - if I either kill the classic environment or not have the classic environment start when she logs in, these games will start fine.
    When she logs in I see the classic desktop startup and there are no errors. In the case where we do not start the classic desktop, when we start the app we see the desktop start and then the game starts. A 3 yr old doesn't really understand that the environment is starting and she doesn't like how long the game takes to start. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
    2 - When I try to install "Winnie the Pooh Baby" I get an error "Disney Interactive folder could not be created". I have had similar issues with other games, but they at least present you with a dialog to select an install location and I can choose the desktop and that seems to work. But the pooh game doesn't provide that dialog. Any thoughts on why this might happen?
    Thanks again

    Thanks for replying. I have OS X 10.2.
    I'd take it up to 10.2.6 or whatever was the last version of Jaguar.
    To be honest I do not recall being asked about
    installing OS 9 drivers, but I would suspect I
    didn't. Is there anyway to install them after the
    fact?
    Not without reformatting. If you can boot from an OS 9 CD and the volume shows up and you can install OS 9 on it, you installed the drivers. You can boot from OS 9 courtesy of Startup Disk in System Preferences. You can go back to OS X courtesy of the similar Control Panel.
    I have 288mb of ram, but am about to upgrade it to
    768mb once I remember how to open the dang thing
    288 is plenty for 10.2.x.
    I have a 4gb HD, I'm not on the machine right now so
    I'm not 100% sure how much is left.
    4GB is on the small side. I'd get addition disk space.
    Other then booting via the CD, can I boot OS 9 some
    other way (from the Hard Disk)?
    If you can install OS 9 on the hard disk, and you have the OS 9 drivers, you can boot OS 9.
    I also didn't realize that if I installed something
    on the OS 9 OS X would recognize it, I will give that
    a go.
    OS X will see most OS 9 stuff. Some OS 9 stuff won't work, though.
    Thanks!

  • HT2305 ITunes/Ipod Classic Problem w/reinstall

    I had to re-install ITunes and now my Ipod classic doesn't appear in my ITunes & therefore, I am unable to access the serial number which I need to get help thru Apple. Think it would help to reinstall ITunes?

    Okay now my fifth generation won't show up(in Itunes or on computer),it does make the ding noise when I plug in the cable. I've done the USB check and mass storage check and it doesn't show any red x'es or ! in anything so what should I do...heck I'm afraid I'll fix the fifth gen and then start having problems w/ the classic again!!!Both Ipods are up to date on itunes.I have windows XP 2000 service pack 2..THANKS!!!!!

    Uninstall Kaspersky, you don't need it. There are no active viruses out in the wild fot hte S60 3rd Edition operating system used by your phone, and the even if there were any they could not be installed without you knowing and giving it the OK.

  • IPod classic problem syncing

    IPod classic syncing very slow with updated iTunes program, fix?

    I've encountered the same problem. For some reason either it be the Firmware on the iPod or iTunes program - it doesn't automatically sync updates to the iPod.
    The only solution I've found is to have the Manually manage songs and videos in the Summary window checked.
    That way I can add or delete off the iPod itself and update accordingly.
    It's a more tedious process but it's not like the 'old days' when you could plug your iPod in and it did all the changes. I guess Apple is placing less and less value on these players.

  • 2700 Classic - Problems with MMS and My Nokia Regi...

    This has probably been covered elsewhere but I haven't come across any answers yet! I bought a SIM free 2700 classic at the end of last year. I'm unable to send multimedia messages and have been unable to register it on My Nokia as the IMEI is unrecognised. I've checked the SIM card being used in another phone and there are no problems. Any advice on what to do next would be appreciated!!

    Hi,
    Have you tried using a different Sim Card & checked ? Try sending MMS using a different Sim Card. For My Nokia, what is the error message you get when you try to register ? Did you try registering in the website & check ?

  • Ipod classic problems: screen and connecting to windows..PLEASE HELP ME!!

    Ok, so I know many people have problems connecting their ipod classics to computers, it seems like it only happens to classics. But anyways, lately my ipod screen has also been doing weird stuff like cutting words in half..(example: instead of music it would show usic. etc.) Has this happened to anyone else? It has also erased some of my music, but luckily I was able to get it back. Does anyone know how to fix any of these problems?
    thanks!
    -krenny

    I definetley think apple should work on that model, I've have friends who purchased a zune and haven't had problems with it at all since then. They did say it is difficult to find cases and car plugs, etc. for zunes though, I don't think I'd purchase one just because I like the way ipods work better ( controls, screen layout, etc.) but besides that I'd say they're pretty nice.
    I just realized it was probably a bad idea to mention zunes on an Apple forum, but what the heck!
