Desperate for Mac OS X 4.6

Is it at all possible for me to install Mac OS X 4.6 on an iMac G3. It originally ran on Mac OS 9.2. Can I purchase an external hard drive for enough memory to do this?

It depends on which particular iMac model you have. Tiger can be installed on any iMac starting with the 400 Mhz DV model - basically any G3, G4, or G5 Mac with both built-in USB and Firewire ports.
You need at least 256 MBs of installed RAM and a minimum of 6 GBs of free space on the hard drive. The hard drive must be formatted Mac OS Extended (HFS+).
You may require a firmware update. Firmware updates must be installed while booted directly into OS 9.1 or higher. Do not attempt to install OS X until you have installed the firmware update.

  • DESPERATE FOR HELP since downloading a separate outlook (from fast hosts) as addition to office mac 11 I can no longer access any Microsoft aps or documents including outlook - error messages 'can not change to identity for outlook'

    I had office 2011 installed on my computer without outlook - been working fine.
    I was given a trial of outlook decided against it at time due to cost - however my server provider fasthost have been offering outlook for free with a busines mail package. Trying to install it wouldn't due to the trail versions - so they gave me a step by step guide to remove outlook files.
    Once i completed this the new outlook worked fine for 24 hours - however then we noticed all of our office programmes had been removed aka can not access any data and we are a management consultancy. Then fasthost recommended we reinstall out orginal office CD which I did and then all of sudden when download was completed everything now is inaccessable.
    When I open outlook the message relays ' can not change to that idenity' I have tried to set up a new idenity and change permissions and even rebuilding it as per on line guides but when rebuilding it fails at the first step
    Rest of office IE WORD, EXCEL I just get microsforft has encountered a problem and needs to close unexpectidly everytime I try and click into it.
    I am now despirate as this is the second day we have had no access to anything and 6 day we have had no access to our documents \
    FASTSHOST do everything via email and no incoming phone line (which they will give anyway) so I really need help
    Any options advice greatly recieved
    I am also using the most recent software and have been doing regular software updates OS X Lion.

    I, too am wondering if it's the download site. I am not aware of any way to download Outlook Mac 2011 alone from any site including Microsoft's.
    It is common for unscrupulous sites to offer desirable but pirated software for a modest price, but serve it up with a dose malware. They get you money, possible a credit card number, your e-mail, your IP address, and all you get is pain.
    There was an "Outlook Express" for Mac that was freely distrubuted but I'll pretty sure that it never ran natively under OSX. The first OSX native version fo Office:Mac was Office X, and it introduced Entourage as the Mac mail client.
    IF Fast Hosts is your ISP, I'd certainly talk to them to figure out what you downloaded.

  • Sync software for Mac?

    Does anyone know of any other software to sync BB with apple mac (OSX 10.5) other than pocketmac? PocketMac is pretty unreliable, and has crashed and failed to sync on just about every attempt. I have successfully managed to get my info on just once, and it has never synced properly since then.
    Following all the advice regarding corrupted PIM's has not helped. It is just poor software and I am desperate for something better (and something that can allow me to install third party software on the BB from a Mac)
    thanks

    Hi,
    Just a thought but you may want to close this thread and open up another in

    Just my opinion.

  • Desperate for help ... Getting error "can't initialize video deck"

    Last night, I had been importing footage just fine into Final Cut Pro HD 4.5 from my camcorder. Then today, no matter how many times I try, how many times I reboot, I get the error that it cannot initialize the video deck when I try to Log and Capture the footage. I've read a number of the solutions to other people having this problem, I ran Disk Utility to Repair Permissions, try unplugging the power and FireWire cable completely, to no avail. Before this, it had been kind of "buggy" in the last few days trying to capture footage, but usually would connect just fine after I would turn off the camera and turn it back on. But today nothing ... I haven't installed or done anything to this system in months, and like I said, I've imported 24 tapes up to now with only a couple of slight times where it couldn't load initially, but usually did on the second try. Could something be conflicting on my system? I have an external hard drive connected to the system which I use for my capture scratch disk, and if I boot up the system with my camcorder turned on, my external hard drive is not recognized. But once I turn the camcorder off, my external hard drive pops right up. Same kind of issue when opening Final Cut Pro ... if I try to open FCP with my camcorder turned on, it hangs on the little rainbow circle. But the second I turn off the camcorder, Final Cut loads just fine. I am really desperate for a solution on this one, I'm way behind on a project, and only have 7 more tapes to go. By the way, I'm on a Power Mac G5.

    jason,
    Before I go into the firewire port reset procedure there are two things you should understand.
    1. Paragraphs are not optional. Your English teacher should give you a dope slap for the way you wrote your original post.
    2. When you reply to a Post, click REPLY ON THAT POST not on your original post. Otherwise, when you view this thread in 'Threaded View" (to be found under My Settings), it looks like you are talking to yourself.
    Now, to reset the firewire bus. I like to do this in a recreational manner - hence the 'Harpoon Solution" (aka the Guinness solution in the mid and far west)
    1. turn everything off.
    2. unplug firewire cables
    3. unplug power cords
    4. get up from well worn chair
    5. walk to refrigerator
    6. open refrigerator
    7. remove bottle of Harpoon (Guinness, local micro brew, etc)
    8. pop cap
    9. pour into glass ( you AREN'T going to drink it from a bottle, are you?)
    10. sip responsibly. enjoy the moment. think pure thoughts
    11. return to kitchen. If less than 15 minutes has elapsed, have another. Otherwise, retrurn to edit room.
    12. Plug everything back together
    12. fire up external monitors, VTR, external hard drives & computer in that order.
    Does it work now? If yes, congratulate your self. If not, oh well, but at least you are in a much better frame of mind to begin some serious troubleshooting.
    cheerios,

  • Has anyone got a questionnaire template they could share with me for Office for Mac

    Hi everyone
    I am trying to create a questionnaire to print out for people to fill in by hand, I can see that on Microsoft website, there are loads of questionnaire templates but it will not let me open them on my Mac. Can anyone point me indirection of one or how I can open the Microsoft ones on my Mac. I am really desperate as need it for my uni work.
    Many thanks
    amfox1

    Office templates are the same for Mac and Windows, I assume this is a Word template (or maybe Excel) what is the extension of the template file?
    Forget it
    I just went to Microsoft's template collection online, I downloaded 3 questionnaires, Risk Assessment, Customer Satisfaction and a Parent Survey, they all work in Word for Mac, so the question now is what are you doing that is different from what I am doing?

  • Does anyone have ASR 2.2.5  for mac os 9?

    im looking for this ancient version of Apple Software Restore for use with mac os 9.2.2
    i use alot of vintage software and i have been having some type of hard drive corruption issue
    and i need to make a backup of my system so that i can restore it in the event that the filesystem becomes corrupted again
    untill i figure out which application is causing this error
    the only way i can deal with it is to clone my drive and restore it
    but i dont want to use any mac os x software
    ASR has a limit of 2GB but the later version has a filesize limit of 4GB which would probably be enough
    whereas 2GB is not...
    please im desperate for this app.. i cant find it anywhere
    if u know any mac systems admin guys that were managing large amounts of g3/g4 computers
    they would probably have this...

    versions i have so far:
    v1.3.8 (included in many developer kits for os9)
    v2.1.2 (included in 'automate asr 1.0' app found on macupdate)
    v2.2.4 (given to me by a friend, but incomplete without applescripts)

  • Help! I downloaded Blackberry for Mac and synch'd 2 days ago only to lose all pre 20 Nov emails!!!

    Hello I have had a terrible error occur on synching with Blackberry for Mac.  I downloaded the desktop manager a couple of days ago so I could synch my calendar and when I connected, it said I didn't have the latest versions on my BB so these were downloaded and added to my BB before I synched the calendar.  This seemed to reset lots of things on my BB which meant I had to take a long time to add themes, input registration codes again for 3rd parties, set up the look of my BB again which was irritating but not that bad.  The terrible thing is that I have lost all my messages including those in the saved folders prior to the time I synched.  
    Does anyone know of a fix for this please?  I am desperate!
    Cheers, Lorraine

    Hey Felix007,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Did you create a backup prior to the update of the software?    To check go into Device at the top, and click on restore.  If it does show a backup file there then you can restore your email messages.  If not, then you will not get the emails back.

  • MyBook For Mac not recognised !?

    Hi,
    I've recently bought a My Book for Mac external hardrive for my MacBook Pro 13". I'm in desperate need to back up all my files from my laptop onto this hardrive as there is no extra storage on my laptop yet the TimeMachine application is not recognising my device? I've searched all over other forums to try and find a solution to my issue but none have worked.
    I've tried everything from searching Time Capsule to identify my device to searching Disk Utility and it still is not being recognised.
    I've noticed that some people are suggesting ideas that result in erasing the memory on my laptop but the whole reason i'm using this hardrive is to save all the documents i have - not erase them!
    The possibility that my software may need to be updated in order for the device to be recognised has also crossed my mind, to which I attempted to update my software to the OS X 10.8.5 update yet that requires over 2gb! Something i do not have!
    So I am seriously stuck and have absolutely no clue what to do.
    Please help me with my issue, it will be greatly appreciated!

    I ran across this discussion trying to figure out how to connect my WD 1TB HD (Fat32) with the E3000 and my MacBook Pro. I have no issues whatsoever with accessing the the router and getting on the internet. I plugged the WD Hard Drive into the back and am trying to access the HD and can't seem to break the code. 
    I have followed the directions in the manual and get to the login screen and no matter what login/password I use Mac Admin or the Router, which happen to be the same by the way, I get an error message telling me either my userID or the password are incorrect.
    Can anyone help me?

  • Opening animated gif in PSE 8 for Mac

    I am switching from PSE for PC to PSE 8 for Mac.
    I have always been able to open animated gif as layers and work with them, then resave as an updated animated gif.
    WIth PSE 8 for Mac, I get a pop up that the file is animated and can only see the top frame. Any ideas on how to open up all of the frames in layers?

    Do I need to enable this process for my Mac? Maybe I'm missing a plug-in or update?
    I have been opening these files from others, tweeking and resaving for almost 2 years in PSE. It definitely will not shuffle the individual panels on an animated gif into the layers box.
    My tweeking usually involves adjusting frame speed. Is that what you mean by 'frame rate'?
    Thank you for your help.

  • How do i add multiple lines in a cell (like a list) in Excel for MAC?

    I'm trying to add multiple lines (in the form of a list) in a individual cell in Excel for MAC.  I used ALT Enter on my PC but that doesn't work on the iMac.  Does anyone know how to do this?
    Thanks!

    It's been a while but I think you hold SHIFT while typing a page break (RETURN) to make a new line without shifting to another cell.
    However, as Excel isn't an Apple product, I am sure you will get a faster and more current answer by using Microsoft's Office:Mac forums here:

    They are very good.

  • SAV for Mac 9.2.7 released!

    Hey everyone,
    We released SAV for Mac 9.2.7 to all home users late last week. 
    This release at a glance:
    Compatible with OSX 10.6 - 10.10
    Stability and performance improvements
    Updated threat engine and threat data (release notes for threat detection engine)
    Provides an updated version of OpenSSL
    Fixed SophosUIServer.app crashes
    Fixed streaming issues from francetv.fr website
    How to get the update? 
    If you're already running SAV, you should have automatically recieved the update courtesy of Sophos AutoUpdate
    You can also manually trigger an update by clicking the Sophos sheild tray icon and clicking Update Now
    Download a copy from our website
    What about OSX 10.11 "El Capitian"?
    In the last few weeks I've seen some folks asking about 10.11, which is currently available as a pre-release. At the moment, SAV 9.2.7 *should* work if SAV is already installed before you upgrade, but the install will fail if you attempt to install a fresh copy post-upgrade. That said, we'll be releasing another update for SAV prior to the official release of 10.11 "El Capitain"  which will ensure full compatibility, so at the moment we recommend upgrading with caution.
    Questions? Feedback on SAV 9.2.7?
    Post it here and we'll get back to you ASAP!

  • I can no longer read any material in nook for mac. I have a macbook pro running lion. I used to be able to but something changed and i can no longer read it. any help?

    I have nook for mac loaded on my macbook pro. When I try to open a book or magazine nothing happens. I`ve downloaded the nook program twice thinking it was a bad download but to no avail. Any help?

    I found the following suggested fix, posted by a user on Barnes & Noble's site:
    1. Create a folder in your Applications folder, call it: NOOKforMac
    Once you've done this, copy the Nook app to this folder. This should allow the app to run on the 1st or possibly second attempt to launch it.
    2. Once you're done using the app always quit it by clicking on the X (red in some cases) button of the application window (upper left hand corner)
    This seems to have resolved the issue and my guess is that somehow the .dmg volume path is somewhere hard coded in the app configuration.
    Elsewhere in that thread, the administrator advises calling Customer Service Team at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665) and choose option 2 for Digital Support. 
    Good luck.
