Classic will not recognize system folder

I have installed Classic from the cd that came with my computer. The system folder for os9 shows up in root next to the osx folder, but there is no 9 on the folder. When I try to run classic in system preferences, it says os9 is not installed. I've seen other postings saying to "bless" it by dragging the finder from the os9 system folder to the desktop then back again, but this does nothing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hello berne04,
Did you try this (from the link that Texas Mac Man posted)? Try it instead of dragging and dropping the Finder.
No "blessed" Mac OS 9 System Folder
If Classic doesn't start, but Mac OS 9 is installed, the System Folder may not be "blessed".
Open System Preferences and choose Classic from the View menu. You may see an alert box with the message:
"No startup volume: There is no volume with a system folder that supports starting Classic. Please install Mac OS 9.1 or later."
It may not be necessary to reinstall Mac OS 9. Try these steps:
1. From the Apple menu, choose System Preferences.
2. From the View menu, choose Startup Disk. The Startup Disk pane appears.
3. Note the current Startup Disk selection, which is a Mac OS X volume.
4. Click the Mac OS 9 System Folder you want to bless.
5. From the View menu, choose Show All.
6. From the View menu, choose Startup Disk.
7. Reselect the volume you noted in Step 3.
8. From the View menu, choose Show All.
9. Quit System Preferences.
Hope This Helps,
Jeff

CLASSIC will not recognize my zip drive

classic will not recognize my zip drive...i have one program that roland will not update and it only runs in os9...so the program opens but will not let me select the zip drive as a option...please advise if classic can detect zip drives etc...thanks soo much...
oh and the driver for os9 is installed etc as well...

1 is the Zip drive a SCSI, a ATA, or a USB Zip? Or are you talking about a flash memory drive?
2 if you're not talking flash memory, do you have a disk inserted into the drive, and is it formatted HFS or FAT?
3 if you are talking flash memory, is the flash drive formatted HFS or FAT?
4 can you get to the desktop in whichever application this is?
5 which application is it that you're trying to use?

Itunes will not recognize new folder

Hi!
I'm trying to get iTunes to recognize a folder on an external hard drive as the main music folder.
I've gone to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced and changed the folder to one of my external, but even after repeated attempts it will not recognize this folder.
Am I doing something wrong?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

< I've gone to iTunes>Preferences>Advanced and changed the folder to one of my external, but even after repeated attempts it will not recognize this folder.
It's not supposed to add music from that folder.
It will use that folder for everything in the future you add to iTunes.
You add music to iTunes by File -> Add to library and select the folder where the music is.

HT1379 Summary: how to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards.

How to transfer files from SD card when the system (Mac OS X v 10.7.5) will NOT recognize SD cards?
Insert the SD card.
System opens iPhoto with SD contents.
Want to transfer files from SD card to system drive. iPhoto closes
SD card directory removed from the Finder window and is not available again.
I don't want to have to reboot the system every time I want to perform this option.
What's wrong here.
The support columns show this isn't an isolated incident with all sorts of solutions possible.
This is a simple task - there should be a simple method for the system to recognize SD cards.
What's the answer?
I've reviewed a recommendation to reset the SMC.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18500187#18500187
and
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
and another thread that says, basically, you must buy extra hardware to perform this simple task,

another one that has the same problem with OS Mountian Lion,
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21919740#21919740
another one with the problem that says SD cards can't be read by Apple unless the card is formatted specifically for Apple, ie. that Apple is not compatible with other cards, but the problem maybe something else that requires Apple service - (bad SD card reader?).
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18711818#18711818
there are probably more discussions, but I dont' want to spend my entire sunny in Seattle day working this.
thanks for the help!

However, when I screw up and click the character on the right side of the name - it apparently closes the SD card and I can't find any command to reload or re-recognize the card. I have to remove and reinsert the card and then sometimes it recognizes the card. Other times I reboot and it will recognize it.
What does that character on the right side of the SD card name do? Is it an eject function - with no way to subsequently reread the drive?
It ejects or unmounts the card. When the SD card mounts click on it once to highlight it and then drag the files shown within it to the new folder.

HT1459 Serial number is faded and too small to read. Itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. How can I delete the current iPod software and reinstall it to see if this would solve the problem?

I recently upgraded my Itunes softeware, now itunes will not recognize my IPod Classic. If I delete the current IPod software and reinstall it, would this solve the problem, and if so, I'll need step by step instruction.

Yep.

System Profiler will not recognize installed hard drive if drive is in use by VMWare

System Information will not recognize installed Hard Drive (Boot Camp) when in use by VMWare.
I work in IT for a School District and I am creating a Script that system information about the computer. I am testing this on a Mac Pro with two internal hard drives. One drive is Mac OS 10.8 and the other drive is a Boot Camp Drive that is used by VMWare Fusion.
When I run System Information via the GUI or system_profiler via Terminal, both drives show up just fine. However, if I launch VMWare Fusion and run Windows from my Boot Camp drive, then run System Information via the GUI or system_profiler via Terminal, the Boot Camp Drive is no longer listed as an installed drive.
Example:
In the Terminal, I enter the following command.
system_profiler SPStorageDataType
Then it returns this information.

The Boot Camp Drive is no longer listed.
I assume this is due to the the fact that the drive is "In Use" however is seems odd since the Mac drive is also in use and it appears without problem. I assume there is no "fix" for this, I was just wondering if someone may have an explaination why?
Also, I do realize that I can query the various interface types like system_profiler SPSerialATADataType to get all the properly installed phycial drives, but then I would have to query all possible interface types, isolate only devices containing Volumes, then consoldate the information to just the information that I need. I was hoping for a cleaner query.

Thank you for your response.
VMWare may be the cause, but the actual issue I am having is with Apple's System Information. I anticipated resistance from VMWare if I went to them with a question about an Apple software issue (even though VMWare software is part of the equation). I was trying to avoid the inevitable finger pointing game. I thought I would try with Apple Forums first since the issues presents itself within the Apple Software. However, you are correct that VMWare may have an explanation on why Fusion might be interfering with System Information. I will check with them next.
To answer your question. Yes, In most cases I do use Fusion to run Windows side-by-side with the Mac OS. However, that is not always the case. There are a few reasons why I have it setup using a Dual Boot configuration.
One, in some cases, due to the intense programs I occasionally run (graphic applications), I prefer to simply boot straight into Windows via Boot Camp so I may allocate all hardware resources to Windows. Additionally, some graphic applications like to have direct access to hardware and the extra layer of the VM environment can cause problems when an application is trying to directly access specific hardware like a graphics card.
Second, I often use either side, both Mac and PC, for testing. There is an advantage to not having to rely on the Mac OS to run Windows. If, for whatever reason, my Mac becomes unstable due to testing, I can still jump right into Windows to do work if necessary.
Third, I love the Mac OS, but I work in a PC centric organization. If there is a "problem" with my system, it is too easy for other system admins to say, "it's because it's a Mac". Having the definitive separation of the OS's allows me to prove that the Mac OS is not a factor.

IPad2 will not recognize/refresh photos in synced folder

I have previously synced my ipad2 and have several photos on it. I am now trying to add more photos so I put them in the same folder, but iTunes will not recognize/refresh to see that there are more photos in that folder. I have deleted the photo cache, rebooted the ipad, un-synced all the photos from my ipad and tried again, tried only syncing that folder and all to no avail.
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I added photos to the folder on my computer. This is the folder that iTunes syncs to my iPad (since you can only sync one folder). In iTunes when I try to sync my iPad, it is not updating the number of photos that are in that folder. Therefore when I apply or sync, no photos are added to the iPad.

Itunes will not recognize music in folder

On my computer I have all my music in the itunes folder like it is supposed to be. After I import the music itunes will recognize it for a while but after a few days it will not recognize the music. Itunes says it cannot locate the file even though it is in the same place and has not changed in any way. All my files are MP3. I had this problem after my computer crashed earlier this year so I thought it had something to do with that along with some other problems. So when I had to completely reinstall Vista I thought my problems were over. I downloaded the newest version of itunes and imported a fraction of my music collection to test it. Still no luck as it still will not find the files. All my music files come from many different sources and this happens to random files from each source including the store. In one case it even deleted a file for an audio book when I tried to relabel it as an audio book rather than a music file.
Is there anything that I can do to the files or to itunes to make it recognize them? Should I convert files into AAC? Is there a setting I've missed that is undermining me? Please help me because this is driving me nuts!
Thank you for any help you might be able to give! ^_^

Using TweakUI to Move or Create Your Library/My Music Location
Use TweakUI (See: ’Disk is locked’ or ‘iTunes folder cannot be found’ when installing or opening iTunes ) to create a 'My Music' folder in a spot where you desire. iTunes should then find this location and deposit its Library files there, and the 'iTunes' folder and sub-folders as well (if you direct it to).
First, see this Article for some background information: What are the iTunes Library files?
If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within the TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the following:
1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
2 Type in RegEdit
3 Navigate in RegEdit to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
5 Navigate up the tree to HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders
6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and is pointing to C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by double clicking it)
7 Close RegEdit
8 Reboot
iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the folder.

Using SCXI Chassis 1001, system will not recognize 1162, 1163 or 1102 modules.

I'm using an SCXI system with a 1001 chassis, labview 6.0 and MIO-16E card. However, the system will only recognize my 1102B and two of my four 1124 modules. It will not recognize the other 1124 modules or the 1164, 1163 and 1102 modules, and I don't know why.

Hey Justin, thank you for responding to my message. As it turns out, the working modules can be detected in any of the 12 slots of the 1001 chassis. However, the 1164, 1163, and 1102 modules will not work in any of the slots. I've tried switching out components and using a different chassis, adapter, pc, and DAQ device, systematically changing out one component at a time, but I still get the same results. I've also tried updating the driver to the latest version available. The only conclusion that makes sense is that the 1102 modules are bad. I'm going to try ordering a new 1102 and see if it will work. If not, then I know it's not the cards and maybe I can return the new module.
But what still bothers me is that I was able to get a new 1124 module to work by placing it next to a 1102B module that is connected to the DAQ device . The new 1124 module will not work if it is directly connected to the DAQ device itself. What's even stranger is that my older 1124 modules WILL work if directly connected to the DAQ device. I was wondering if NI has modified the 1124 in such a way that thier new ones can only operate in conjunction with other modules.
Thank you,
Nick

Hello Jeanne
If you are having issues with your iPod not showing up on your computer then check out the article below. What you need to figure out is if it does not show up at all or if it is just iTunes.

My ipod classic turns on with apple logo then shuts off about 30 seconds later, when plugged in my windows and itunes will not recognize it.

earlier my itunes told me that my files were corrupted and I needed to restore, so I did. In the middle of the restore I lost internet connection. Now my computer and Itunes will not recognize my Ipod and if it is not plugged in when I turn the Ipod on it only shows the apple logo then shuts off after 30 seconds. If it is plugged in it will charge, but Itunes and Windows will not recognize it. I have tried the menu + select shutoff multiple times with no change. All it will say while it is charging is do not disconnect.

The clicking sound is your iPod Hardisk, trying to retract and find the boot sector unsuccesfully.
Hopefully, you can do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as in this great post by tt2., it wont fix your problem, but let you know, how dire is your Hardisk health.
So only as a last resort, one way, to get the stuck Hardisk head free, is to bang the iPod on a rubber mouse pad, when you reset it, but do it at your own risk, some very lucky guys got it working again for the next 14 months, like myself.

I have iMovie 09. I just erased my external hard drive, but it is still formatted for the mac. However, iMovie will not recognize the hard drive. It shows the only hard drive available is the computers. How do I get the external hard drive to show up?

In Finder's Menu, select Go menu>Go to Folder, and go to "/volumes". (no quotes)
Volumes is where an alias to your hard drive ("/" at boot) is placed at startup, and where all the "mount points" for auxiliary drives are created for you to access them. This folder is normally hidden from view.
Drives with an extra 1 on the end have a side-effect of mounting a drive with the same name as the system already think exists. Try trashing the duplicates with a 1 or 2 if there are no real files in them, and reboot.
If it does contain data...

How can you get Premiere Elements to recognize hardware. It will NOT recognize my Dazzle Video Capture device or either of two HP DVD burntes. I feel like I wasted my money.

That should have read, It will NOT recognize my Dazzle device or either of 2 HP DVD burners.

TNTerri
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
If Premiere Elements 13, please be advised that it does not support DV or HDV capture firewire. And, any USB devices
have never worked for that purpose for Premiere Elements (any version).
As for the burner not being recognized in the Burner Location field of burn dialog of the program, please consider
(if you are dealing with DVD CD burner rather than a Blu-ray DVD CD burner.
CD, DVD drive not recognized after Adobe application install | Windows
Depending on how matters progress, you may want to do an uninstall reinstall using the following scheme
Uninstall, the usual Control Panel way
Do a free ccleaner run through to get rid of leftovers from incomplete installs reinstalls
CCleaner - PC Optimization and Cleaning - Free Download
Reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
We might even involve later a deletion of the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file and, if necessary, the whole Folder in
which it exists. More on the latter later.
