Clean Install on iMac G4

Okay, so the title implies a simple procedure, but there are a few technical hitches that are confusing me.
First thing to note is that I am a novice Mac user. I know my way around for the most part and love using Mac's, but don't really have the knowledge to know exactly what to do in this situation.
I have just acquired an iMac G4 1GHz from my Dad as he has upgraded. I am currently using a Windows machine, but trying to configure the Mac for my use as it is going with me when I go off to uni in september. There are a few problems with it and I personally see a clean install as the best option.
The iMac was bought by my Dad from ebay. The seller had bought a new iMac and no longer needed this one. It had a load of expensive software on it and we just used the machine as it was - no clean install. It works fine. Apart from GarageBand, which refuses to open. Glitch Number 1.
I have recently purchased a Logitech MX Revolution mouse for my PC, and the Logitech website assures me that it works with Macintosh. I plug the wireless receiver into a USB port on the iMac and all looks fine. Until I try to click something. The pointer moves, but you can't select anything. None of the buttons work. Glitch Number 2. I have tried downloading the new Control Centre to install, every time I try to run it it says "please connect the wireless USB receiver and try again", even though it's already connected.
So, I figured, a clean install sounds good right? I find the install disc and pop it in the drive. Click to restart the mac, starts booting up from the disc...good. No, wait, it's hanging.....it's died. Not doing anything. Got the grey screen with spinning loader wheel, just stopped, and a message telling me to restart in several different languages. WHAT?! Glitch Number 3.
I've tried various other install discs we seem to have around the house and they don't work because they aren't for this system. But the disc I have IS for the system. But it's not working. WHY?!?!?!
Would really appreciate your help! Thanks! =)

Hi tomrock182!
Let's start with the basics.
Exactly which model iMac G4 is it?
Is it one of these iMac (USB 2.0) - Technical Specifications
iMac (17-inch 1Ghz) - Technical Specifications?
Which version of OS X is currently installed?
What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
"I find the install disc and pop it in the drive."
And "But the disc I have IS for the system."
Exactly which install disc are you using? Is it the original system disc that shipped with the iMac, or a Full Retail Version of Jaguar, Panther or Tiger?
Once you have inserted the install disc, are you restarting while pressing the C key?

  • HT1338 how do you perform a clean install for imac

    How to perform a clean install for imac, because I cannot upgrade to version 10.6?

    Here are the technical requirements for Snow Leopard:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575
    If your iMac meets the requirements, then you will have to purchase the Snow Leopard disk from apple:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    To reinstall your OS, insert the original OS disk that came with your iMac and start up the iMac holding the C key.  Start the installation process and when you see the menu bar, select 'Utilities'. From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility.  Erase the HDD and the continue the installation.
    Note that this will erase all data on the HDD so have it backed up before you start.
    Ciao.

  • Could someone help me with instructions for doing a clean install for iMac with mountain lion 10.8.4 ?

       Could someone help me with instructions for doing a clean install for Could someone help me with instructions for doing a clean install for an early 2009 iMac 20"  with Mountain Lion 10.8.4 ?
       Thank You,
                                leetruitt

       Barney,  William,  nbar, Galt\'s Gulch:
       A nephew stayed with us to take a course at the local community college last semester. I allowed him use of my mac for research just after I installed Mountain Lion. He decided to "help out" and ran a 3rd party clean and tune up app., Magician.  The tune up wiped over 1200 titles of my music in iTunes,  also a path of folders with names containing nothing but more empty folders with names. Almost every program I open and run for a short time crashes, also folders and programs are in wrong places, or cannot be located (the nephew, for instance). Up to this time I have always been able to track a problem far enough to resolve it by careful persistence and good luck, but I do not have the tech savvy to solve this one without getting in deeper. I have run disk utility saveral times and always get  variations of this:
    ACL found but not expected on
    "private/etc/resolve.conf"
    "private/etc/raddb/sites-enabled/inner-tunnel"
    "private/etc/rabbd/sites-enabled/control-socket"
         Also, after four years of intense daily use it is cluttered with much junk,  and every app that I was curious about, and I am a very curious guy.
       So I know my limits, (and now my nephew). I dumped my pc for a Strawberry iMac a few years ago, and so far every problem I've encountered, or brought on myself, the Mac has resolved with its own inner elegance - in spite of my novice bungels - and now I honestly feel ashamed, in addition to the need to apologize to a machine for allowing a peasant into the Royal Grounds - so I am calling the Wise Ones in for this one.
       Crazy, I know, but to me a Mac represents something far beyond the ordinary  input ➛ process  ➛ output  title/function customarily assigned to a machine - I sense an odd kind of morality involved, one that I need to respect.
        So, these are my reasons for wanting to do a clean install, correctly.
            Thank you,  Truitt

  • True you can't clean install Intel iMacs?

    Hi,
    When I get a new Mac I generally zero out the drive and reinstall the OS and apps from the provided install discs and run a clean system without all the extra languages, etc.
    Somewhere on this forum I thought I read that the new Intel iMacs cannot be restored from the install discs after zeroing the HD.
    Is this correct? If so, why not?

    It doesn't matter if you clean install it or not as
    far as bluetooth goes. When you first boot the
    computer after a clean install, it will do a search
    for a bluetooth mouse or keyboard by default.
    glor
    I learned something very disturbing earlier today from Applecare Tech Support. I tried to boot from my install DVD (holding "c" down as instructed) but it hung. Tried three times with same result. When I called Applecare, they said you MUST HAVE A WIRED KEYBOARD AND MOUSE to boot from the install DVD because Bluetooth doesn't activate early enough for the wireless input devices to be seen in order to complete the various commands.
    Their advice - go buy a USB keyboard and mouse so when I have to boot from the install DVD, I can!
    This after I ordered my iMac online and PAID EXTRA for the wireless and, on top of that, was not sent a USB set along with the wireless. I feel a little ripped off...

  • Clean install my imac intel based machine

    Hi folks,
    I'm needing to replace the hard drive and clean install my intel based imac 17" (early 2006) machine and have only the osx 10.4 disk. Do i need another disk to begin this? I am rather new to this machine (I guess you could say newbie)
    Anyone know if there is a step-by-step to replace this hard drive and then install the os. From what I've read there is supposed to be an install disk besides the osx disk?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Just for your reference, if you lost those original disks, I recommend calling AppleCare to ask for replacements:
    http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html
    To be sure you are identifying your Mac correctly, follow this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301724
    Intel Macs as the others have said will not boot from the black retail Tiger install disks that look like this box , and will only boot from the gray disks which came with them.
    Older Macs will boot from newer retail discs (to the spec limit of the operating system, for Tiger that means built-in Firewire and DVD drive*) than came with them. To find out which one came with which Mac, see this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
    Also there is no such thing as a Tiger clean install, as my user tip explains. Replacing your hard disk, effectively is like an erase and install:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607614
    Before doing this, I strongly recommend isolating the issues on your Mac. Erasing, or replacing the hard drive is rarely needed, except when it the hard drive is truly dead. If you need help isolating issues with your hard drive, we'd be happy to show you how.
    * DVD drive requirement can be overcome if you get the Tiger Media Exchange on Apple's Tiger upgrade website.

  • I've tried to eliminate system errors by performing a clean install of ML. What's the best way to set up my iMac for a singlet user?

    One of my main goals is to be able to run a Windows application on my iMac, purchased in July, 2012, with the Intel 2.5Ghz i5, 4GB RAM, 500GB hard drive. At first I installed Boot Camp and then Win 7, then the application I need to run, and I don't recall having problems. But I tired of the required reboot each time and got greedy and needy - so I installed VMWare Fusion, only to be told that the W7 software I use won't work with Fusion, but it will with Parallels! So, I was able to get Parallels at a discount (because I had Fusion), and decided I would import Boot Camp into Parallels.
    Then the problems began. I suspect I did something I shouldn't have during this process, but to shorten the story I did a clean install of ML, set up iCloud, and monitored Console for problems. And problems there were - lots of them, and they all seemed to reference iCloud in some way. Since I have the ML installer on a thumb drive I thought I'd see what happened if I did another clean install, but this time I'd ignore iCould altogether (yes, I have everything backed up to mypcback.com) and proceeded. As before, the errors streamed down Console's face as if it were my own. I've run OnyX, which seemed to help, but many of the issues persist. I'm at a loss as how to proceed other than invoke Apple Support, which, BTW, is not covered under Warranty.
    I need to have a stable ML platform before I start using W7 and refuse to believe that the OSX is "just buggy." Can someone help. I have no other iDevices that need to be synced, and really don't see the need to set up iCloud. Noone else than I use the iMac. It should be pretty simple to create a stable OSX so I can go where I need to go. I realize 4GB is not a lot of memory and will look into that. For the moment, I can stip down Win 7, and OSX for that matter, to free up memory. I didn't want to included a bunch of log files, but I will if someone thinks that it would be helpful.
    The follow are the latest entries into my system log file, after I lost connection to the internet, and then regained connection after rebooting my cable modem:

    This DNS change is only the lastest manifestation of what seems like an endless list. Can anybody give me some direction before I have to pay Apple to fix what I think they broke themselvesa?!?  BTW, I am not a tech. Thanking everyone who read this and especially to anyone who can help.

    Linc, thanks for the tips. I knew you'd have a good method. I asked for it because I have learned of some of the myths about OSX and it's need (or lack thereof) to be scrubbed, rinsed, and blown dry; suckering folks into buying all manner of utilities to keep your Mac spiffy at all times, when in fact it rarely needs any intervention at all because of its Unix background. In fact, I rarely shut mine down and I've learned that the system is actually designed to be left running under most circumstances.
    To keep your data secure the three most important things to know is backup, backup, backup. I use a third-party, cloud-based back-up system. It can automatically make backups every hour if that's what I want and I can supplement that anytime by simply dropping a file into the application's desktop interface.
    Since I last posted my Mac has been running smoothly and I've been able to install Parallels and Windows 7, as well as the VantagePoint software I mentioned. Though it crashed once this morning and I submit one line from the log file:
    12/20/12 10:31:00.639 AM appleeventsd[54]: BUG in libdispatch: 12C60 - 1510 - 0x4
    After a reboot, log entries spewed all manner of troubling messages, from those that are osascript-related to broken forks, etc. but as far as I know there were no actual crash logs generated until this afternoon, one being just a few minutes ago. Linc, would you be so kind to take a look and tell me if there's something I need to do?

  • I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.Anyone know how to cure this problem please??

    I'm using a late 2006 2.33GHz imac.
    I clean installed 10.6 from disc then updated to 10.7 from download.
    Now every time my computer goes into sleep it won't wake up.
    The only way it will restart is to pull the mains lead out of the imac, put it back and try until it will start.
    This only happened after reinstalling.  Only Apple OS was on the imac and so it must be an issue with the software I believe.....
    Anyone know how to cure this problem please?
    Thanks
    paul

    This isn't a fix, more a workaround I used when I had wake from sleep problems that lasted from some point in 10.6.x, through 10.7 and into 10.8 (got fixed for me in 10.8.2). It seems to be connected with Bluetooth failing to wake up properly:
    System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.

  • Having continuous issues with my iMac, all I want to do is perform a clean install... at my wit's end. Help please. :(

    I apologize in advice if this story is discombobulated or more information is needed to provide me with an answer. I will do my best to provide as much details as possible, but this is a problem that has been occuring for the past few weeks and some things I've forgotten the specifics of.
    I will start by explaining that my iMac specs are:
    Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Version 10.6.8
    I've owned this iMac since about April of 2010. I've never had any problems with it until recently. At one point in time, I had a Boot Camp partition made in order to install Windows, as I wanted to run some games that weren't available to Mac users. After awhile, I eventually bought a Windows Laptop for my gaming needs. When this happened, I decided to erase previously stated Boot Camp partition in order to free up more space on my hard drive.
    After a few months, had major issues involving a trojan virus on my laptop, it destroyed my hard drive, and I wasn't able to buy a new one at that time. Recently decided to try and create a new Boot Camp partition to reinstall Windows. When I attempted that, (I apologize, I don't remember the specific error) it wouldn't allow me, and from what I remember after doing some google research, it sounded like somehow my hard drive had become disorganized, and needed to somehow be reorganized.
    At some point in my google research I found that using the Repair function in Disk Utilities would possibly help. When I tried that, (the only reason I know this is because I tried just now to get the error to pop up) I'm given a message "This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
    So here I'm thinking, "okay! No big deal! I have the disk still, I will just back up my hard drive to an external hard drive". So I buy an external HDD, back up everything I need. I then put the disk in, and my optical drive spends some time thinking, then spits it back out. It does this repeatedly. I do some more google research, find that optical drives crapping out on mac users isn't all that uncommon. I try to clean it with a trick someone suggested. I then tilted my iMac to one side, it accepts a cd! I try it again, and I'm no longer able to trick my iMac into reading disks. Sad face.
    Instead of hefting large sums of cash at Apple to replace my optical drive, I buy a far more affordable external cd/dvd drive that is working perfectly fine. So after waiting for that to be delivered, 3 days later, I'm excited to finally get a clean install with my OS X drive. At this point, I care little about repairing, and have decided to just completely clean install. I restart my iMac, boot from disk, and I get the spinny thing for about 20 minutes. I think, "hmm... should it take this long?" So I reboot and try again. Same thing. I then let it run overnight, and wake up to spinny thing. When my Mac is on, it reads the dvd just fine. It just won't boot from it and let me start the clean install.
    So then I get the idea maybe I can do a remote install of the disk from my friend's macbook. No such luck, won't seem to recognize anything. Then I see that I can make a copy of the disk image to my computer, and burn that image to a partition made on my external HDD, so that I can boot from that. Well, the only info I could find was a gentleman burning a downloaded version of OSX Lion, but I figured, "hey, its the same thing, right?" I guess not. I tried copying the image using the restore function in Disk Utilities, and it does indeed show up when I hold Option at start up, but booting from it does not start up properly. It starts up like any normal time I restart. I'm thinking its cause the way I copied it didn't involve a .dmg file.
    So I try to copy the image to a file on my computer, but when I do that, I get some sort of input/output error.
    What can I do at this point? I thought I originally set up Time Machine but when I checked recently, no such luck. All I want is a fresh reboot of my Mac. I'm guessing somehow my hard drive became corrupted in some way. I mean, it truly doesn't seem to be affecting anything, except somehow even after deleting all known movie, music, game, etc. files, I still am using up 270 gb of space. Maybe I never un-did the Boot Camp partition properly and kinda screwed myself on this one.
    I've tried just about everything. I never invested in Apple Care, but even had I done so, I think it would have exceeded the warranty, as I had thought it was 2 years. I could be wrong, either way, its water under the bridge now. I need to fix this myself. I'd still like to use my iMac for general use, and to utilize the 1 TB of storage it possesses.
    Any help is greatly appreciated, sorry for the wall of text, its been a complicated few weeks. Thanks!

    Whew... never buy an iMac or Laptop from Apple without the 3 year extended AppleCare... well 2 years extended... & I think they should be called on this, they should come with a 5 year Warranty, with more available if you want.
    I think, "hmm... should it take this long?"
    No way, Houston, we haave a problem, not sure what... RAM, Logic Board, etcd.
    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

  • Mail search not working after clean install of 10.5.4 on new 20" iMac

    Apple Mail search is not working. Search on "subject line" works, but search on "entire message" does not. For example, searching with "parking" yields NO results, and there are many messages with the word "parking" in their body in the mailboxes. It happens with both "In Box" and "All Mailboxes" checked.
    What's going on?
    I did a clean install of Mac OS X on a 20" iMac using the Install disk shipped with the machine. Then I ran Software Update. Still, the problem happens, on a clean baseline system.
    Argh.

    I've had this problem since Tiger. Various solutions have been posted, but none have worked for me. It really cripples Mail--I've used emails as my personal database for years, kind of a history log, which worked great in Eudora but Eudora isn't being supported anymore.
    After updating to X.5.5, I can search "entire message" for "All Mailboxes" and find everything including emails in the mailbox I was viewing (often finds 60,000 occurences, but doesn't take very long--it's just incredibly tedious to find the one I want from such an enormous set of results). I can also find everything using Spotlight, outside of Mail. But if I am looking at any mailbox, like Inbox, search "entire message" never finds anything at all. Searching for subjects etc works fine.

  • Clean install of Maverick on my iMac

    Hi,
    I have an early 2009 24" iMac and ever since my initial purchase, I upgraded my OS to the latest version, and now I have Mavericks. But my machine is performing slower and slower (even before Mavericks). Even for simple tasks like browsing a page with Safari, it takes minutes ! I'm not sure if my machine is adware free, because many ads popup, or are build in the html page.
    Anyway, I decided to start all over again with a clean install of Maverick, and only restore the necessary files and apps I need and not the stuff I downloaded during the past 5 years, and never used it again. I also want to add an extra 4GB RAM up to 8GB.
    I already did some research and build a bootable Maverick on USB, so I'm prepared to do the clean install.
    But before going on, I want to be absolutely sure, I can restore the things I need.
    So what is the best method, to take a backup of :
    1) My iTunes files (music, apps, videos, books,...)
    2) My personal data (documents, ....)
    3) My software (most of them I don't have the installation files anymore)
    4) My iPhoto library
    I also took a backup on my Time Machine, but I read somewhere that this is not ideal for restoring after a clean install, because Time Machine won't recognize the new machine anymore.
    So before plugin in my bootable USB drive , please help me out on choosing the right way to backup (and restore) the things I want..

    For your iTunes stuff, photos, and documents, you can just navigate to the media files or documents on Time machine and restore them to your new installation.
    For the software, I'd get updated versions of good installers, either on disc, or from new downloads, and make sure they are compatible with Mavericks. Just dragging the app over won't work very well.
    I wouldn't reinstall any "crapware", such as MacKeeper or CleanMyMac, or anything else that purports to "optimize",  "clean", "accelerate", "monitor", or "protect" your Mac. If you have this stuff on your Mac, that is probably what is making it slow in the first place.
    Antivirus software, also problematic, and not that useful on Macs; I wouldn't install it.
    For any peripherals, look for updated versions of drivers or other software from the manufacturer and install those. Old drivers and kernel extensions are not going to play well with Mavericks.
    I just did a clean install. I found it useful to make a list of everything I wanted to move, and wrote down passwords, network settings, and email settings.

  • How to do a clean install on an iMac

    Hi guys,
    I have an iMac 2009 and unfortunately installed Lion on it. Since I dont like Lion I would like to do a clean install of Snow Leopard, i.e. erasing all Harddrive content, then installing Snow Leopard. Can anybody tell me how to do so? Is it ok, if I simply back up all of my files to an external harddrive (or two)? I only have pictures and a few pdfs. No emails, etc.
    Thank you!

  • New iMac slow - should I do a "clean install"?

    I recently bought an iMac 27 inch. I used the migration assistant to move my old accounts and stuff across to it from my old (now sold) Mac Pro. Which was updated using migration assistant from the previous Mac Pro.
    I find it's not all that 'snappy'. And one thing I notice is that other Macs on my network see the iMac as Mac Pro (I guess a legacy of the old Mac Pro). I have it all backed up onto an external hard drive using Time Machine.
    Is there a way to reinstall the system software while keeping my settings, accounts and stuff (if possible)? Something like a 'clean install'? Or some other way.
    Cheers,
    David

    You've migrated old files from your Mac Pro that are not compatible.  My suggestion is to reinstall:
    Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
    Do the following:
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

  • 2006 iMac running 10.4 OS. I copied files to ext. drive. Put in 10.6 disc and did a clean install (format) of 10.6. Copied data from ext. drive back to Mac. I didn't get all the files. CAN I REVERT BACK TO THE 10.4 OS SO I CAN COPY MY DATA PROPERLY?

    2006 iMac running 10.4 OS. I copied files to ext. drive. Put in 10.6 disc and did a clean install (format) of 10.6. Copied data from ext. drive back to Mac. I didn't get all the files. CAN I REVERT BACK TO THE 10.4 OS SO I CAN COPY MY DATA PROPERLY?

    How did you copy files to the external drive, and what files did you copy? Did you drag and drop in the Finder? Use a clone utility? What files did not successfully copy?
    If you reformatted the drive as part of your install, then you won't be able to recover any files from the drive. Reverting back to (reinstalling) 10.4 will not help you.
    Do you have a complete-drive backup of your old system?

  • Selling G4 iMac - How do I perform a clean install

    I'm selling my G4 iMac to work and they have given my a Tiger disk to install. I would like it to erase all my old files such as my financial items and my photos as well as my music, etc.
    Is there a way of doing a clean install which takes the computer back to square one with just the basic info on it?
    Thanks!

    Boot from the restore disc. Go to the Apple menu and select Disk Utility. In Disk Utility, reformat the hard drive and choose the option to write all zeroes. After that is complete, use the restore disc to restore the iMac to its factory condition.

  • Imac G3 had clean install OS 10.1; can't install 9.2; now won't boot at all

    Hello,
    I was given an older imac G3--has 176 mg ram; 6 gb hard drive. Due to its small memory and the fact my daughter just wanted it for games, I decided to only install OS 10.1, instead of OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.1.5 which I have on my G4.
    Then, I found that most of my CD games (no internet access) need Classic to run. So, upon inserting my OS 9.1 disk to install that, I got the message that the firmware needed to be updated; then an error saying I needed installer 4.5.5.
    Two questions:
    1. How do I get around the fact that my firmware needs to be updated but when I boot from a locked disk, I get the error message that firmware updates can't take place due to locked disk.
    2. Now, I can't get it to boot at all into OS X or any disk in the CD drive--I get a screen with a little script that says, "failed to boot, etc., Apple Firmware 3.0 3f built 12/__98
    then (not exact text)
    0 >boot MAC-PARTS: specified partition invalid, etc.
    can't open ide1, etc.
    I hooked it up to my other G3 imac and my G4 via ethernet cable but since there's no system accessible, I can't turn on file sharing/Apple talk, etc.
    Hoping I'm not the only night owl going round and round with these kind of problems. Any help would be much appreciated.

    If you don't mind wiping the hard drive, boot from the 10.1 installer disk and install the 9 drivers:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75275
    Then find out what CD came with the Mac by first identifying it:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58669
    And then looking at this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
