Classic troubles since reinstalling OS 10.4.3

Quite a while ago, I made the mistake of updating to 10.4.4 and had to go back and reinstall 10.4.3 for a number of my apps to work correctly. Lesson learned! However, I have not been able to run Classic since. I get a message that the wrong version of Quicktime is installed and the startup window for OS 9.1 hangs. I've downloaded the correct version of QT, but it won't install, because it's dependent upon the Classic startup, which doesn't happen. I've tried downloading a fresh version of OS 9.1 but can't find it online. All I can find is OS 9.2.1, which is dependent upon 9.1 to be installed. Hubby is in the other room tearing apart old archives of installation cd's and dvd's to see if we have some kind of installation disk with Classic on it, but we're still only finding 9.2.1, which won't install clean.
Does anyone have a download link for me or other suggestions?
TIA,
Karen

I don't think that is normal behavior. The long press is possibly causing the system to force power down, which would then allow it to power back up.
Just to make sure, all drivers are up-to-date? Are there pending BIOS updates? If so, you'll want to make sure it can restart properly before applying the BIOS update
Try an Ubuntu LiveUSB or LiveCD to rule out software issues.
If that doesn't work, try taking out the battery and AC, pressing the power button ten times, then holding it for ten. This is usually the remedy for another issue, but try it anyway.
If that doesn't work, then try resetting the BIOS settings. Then try unplugging the CMOS battery overnight. Otherwise, might have to call for warranty.

I downloaded firefox update had nothing but troubles since comp crashing how do i send my bookmarks from firefox to ie on this system

i downloaded firefox update, had nothing but troubles since, computer crashing when i try to open, or cursor lag for a long time ie. i try to move to do something it has to think about for 30 seconds to having to pushing reset to get anthing hapening
but still freezes up i put my comp into a very good repair store cost me $119 to only to find no problem with computer, they had it running ,burning , doing everything properly, but they were using ie, as soon as i stoped that and went to firefox, back to lag etc. com bluescreen then crashing when i got home twice so far tried using previous version in system same problem, how do i send my bookmarks from firefox to ie on this system, so i can completely uninstall then reistall a fresh earlier version

I have to agree, fixing something that was working fine and replacing it with the new crap has led me to switch browsers.BIG FAIL MOZILLA
Why do people do this shit.
Turn off updating to keep your good working version or you will be forced to use the new version that is missing some well used features.

Does iDVD word with Yosemite? Having trouble since I upgraded to it.

Does iDVD work with Yosemite? Having trouble since I upgraded to it two weeks ago.

When you say iTunes 10 do you mean 10.5.3. If not, upgrade to it.
If trying different USB ports, even a number of times, does not solve your problem then look at this link. If you are not using Windows then search for something comparable.

Not remembering Keychain & paswords since reinstall

Since reinstalling Mac OSX 10.4.9 on my G4 dual 500 I am always asked for my keychain access password for MSN and iChat. These are the 2 programs that I have automatically set to 'login' at startup. Before I reinstalled they automatically logged in without the keychain screen. (I am unfamiliar with keychains and am reticent to change anything incase I mess them up!)
Also in safari although I have set my prefs to automatically remember passwords it no longer does. Can anyone tell me how to resolve these two annoying habits my dear old mac has developed?
Hils

Hi Hilary,
I'd try with keychain first aid.
- Open keychain
- press altcommandA (or from "Keychain Access" menu select keychain first aid)
- insert your password, select "verify" and click "start"
- if it finds any errors, select "repair" and click "start" again
Hope you succeed

RIch text forum issue since reinstall of OS

Ever since I reinstalled my system software (10.4.11), I have been unable to utilize rich text editor options available for forum posting. (not this forum - about.com is one of them). In Safari, the editor toolbar is non-existent when posting/editing a post, and my individual paragraphs display as one huge paragraphs rather than individual ones. I'm not having this problem in Firefox. In Firefox, the rich text editor appears (bold, italic, etc. buttons), as do options for "design" and "HTML"—all missing in Safari.
Previous to the reinstall, I was not having this issue in Safari. Paragraphs were created by hitting "return", not inserting html code.
I'm wondering if there is a setting, or plugin, that was present in my old system that did not get installed, which is contributing to why Safari has omitted these options as opposed to Firefox.
Thanks!

No I haven't tried another mouse, but the malfunctions started as soon as OSX 10.6.4 was installed, so I deduced that it was a software rather than a hardware issue. I will however try another mouse.

Mail app not working since reinstall

Hi,
My mail application has stopped working and reports that the version is not compatible with the installed version of OSX. If I compare this to another mac, the problematic mac is one version behind the operational mac. This is since I lost the application and was told to reinstall it by Apple from the install disk.
Problem mac
OSX: 10.5.8
Mail: 3.5
Working mac
OSX: 10.5.8
Mail: 3.6
Software Update reports that there are no updates available and I'm unable to find the latest mail app anywhere on the Apple site.
Apple support tried to get me to download the 10.6.2 download, but I don't believe that this is right for my current system. Especially as Software Update reports no update available.
Any ideas on where I can download the correct / latest version of the Mail application and how I can ensure that when it's installed, my previous mail settings are restored?
Thanks in advance

I'm having troubles with reinstalling lion from Recovery HD

Hello everybody. Please keep in mind that I'm not english, so I'll probably do some grammar errors.
Here there's my problem:
I decided to reinstall Mac OS X Lion, on my macbook pro 15" (late 2010). Everything worked well, I just wanted to clean everything and start over again.
I started the computer from Lion Recovery HD, which is, as we all know, in a separate partition.
I followed the instructions written in the documentation: I initialized the Hard Drive with a HFS+ file system from the utility disk, then, I clicked on "Reinstall Mac Os X".
After choosing the right HD and writing the username and password for the mac app store, i got an error: my account is allowed only in the Italian store (I'm from Italy, but I'm temporarily in the USA. I also wrongly forgot my Snow Leopard DVD in Italy )
Anyways, after clicking OK and writing ID and PWD again, the download of the OS finally starts (First problem solved?)
After more then 15 hours downloading, I came home but it didn't change a lot: the computer was still on recovery hd (i think it restarted by itself?), the download was finished, but it didn't install the OS, nor I could boot from the main HD. If I try to click "Reinstall Mac Os X" again, it would ask for my id and pwd again, and start the 15 hours download another time, as nothing had happened.
By the way, i checked the HD from the utility disk, and about 4 GB are used in the HD, while before the download I had initialized it, so I think Lion was downloaded there. I repeat, I can't startup from the main HD, since it's not available when I turn the computer on and press option.
Sorry for the long message, but I tried to give you the most informations I could provide. If you need other informations, tell me.
Thank you very much for the help, by know I'm stucked on a $2000 machine that has only Safari on it, with the scrolling that is in the wrong way

Not sure what happened, but I think your best bet it to try again.

My macmini won't output to any display since reinstalling and upgrading to maverick

I recently wiped my macmini and when I reinstalled it, it upgraded to maverick.
Now it won't output to any display. When I first installed it, I managed to get it to work once after turning it on and off several times.
I've tried connecting to both a tv and a monitor, using both display port and hdmi connections.
ive done all these:
Reset the computer's parameter RAM.
Reset the computer's PMU.
If you have an Intel-based Mac mini, reset the SMC.
Still nothing...
does anyone have any suggestions?

Does anything show when booting up?
When starting in Safe Mode?

When booting to Recovery?

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

No thumbnail images in icons with Preview since reinstall of Tiger

Since a HDD crash and reinstall of Tiger at Apple Store with updates to 10.4.11, Preview.app is now NOT making image thumbnails but only shows an icon with the Preview logo and file type, ie. JPEG, PNG.
Also in Folders most images, but not all, are not showing up as they used to with miniature images.
This makes it very hard to tell what the image is merely with a number for the filename.
I tried deleting the plist but that didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions how to get real thumbnails back?

Hi BDAqua,
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried it several times to no avail and noticed that an older version of Preview which had been archived on an external drive was 13.2 MB on disk while the one which the Apple Store put onto the new hard drive was only 3 MB, even though they are both v3.0.9 (build 409) I've tried both and there doesn't appear to be any difference in functionality.
Still no thumbnails except on a few .jpgs. They do work from iPhoto if they are normal .jpg pictures if I drag the pic to the desktop from the iPhoto Library, but not panoramas which have been stitched, photos which have been cropped, modified or .gif or .tiff.
Guess we'll just have to keep looking for the answer to why they won't show up all the time.
Thanks anyway.
If anyone else has any ideas about this Preview weirdness, please join in...

Trouble while reinstalling subscriber

I am reinstalling a CCM cluster in test setup running CCM 4.02a es30.1
I first installed Publisher alongwith Windows. Then upgraded to es30.1 and also restored the data using backup of my production system. This all went smooth.
Now when I am trying to install suscriber, I am facing an issue. I reinstall windows successfully. After starting CCM installation, it collects all the dat like passwords etc and then asks for disk 2. After inserting disk 2 it installs Cisco Directory. Once this step is completed next it goes to installing callmanager. Here the process suddenly throws an error message stating that there was some fatal error and application could not be installed. After this the installation rolls back. This same thing happened every time I tried to install suscriber. I have tested following things
1. Removed es 30.1 So the system was running only 4.02a. Still the same issue occurred while installing suscriber.
2. Since I have restored backup, it was already cotaining the configuration of the subscriber server I was installing. Removed the suscriber server (to be installed) from all CCM groups etc and deleted the CCM Subscriber as well as server entry from the publisher. Still the same issue.
3. Tried reinstalling this subscriber right from the scratch multiple times.
I have attached log of the process alongwith.
Any help is greatly appreciated.....as usual :)
Best Regards,
Anand P. Diwakar

Thanks for the help Greg,
ust want to know a few things about your suggestions
1. You mean that while reinstalling OS I should use "recover from backup" instead of saying new installation. Am I right here. I am not sure what exactly is cluster ID. Can you educate me a little about that.
2. Second option I am trying right now :)
But this is not exactly how it should be. I am just wondering say if I have to add some new subscriber, I cannot rebuild the pub for that. So I am trying to figure out the exact cause why is this happening. Besides I have done this stuff with 4.1.3 for multiple times and it went all smooth, so just wondering what could be the issue here.
3. The last option is exactly what I did. I restored the pub completely and then I started reinstalling sub. But while installing CCM application it just crashes and rolls back entire process.
So as of now I am moving ahead with option 2. Will update you how it goes
