Dual OSX's

I had been running both OSX4.3 and OSX3.9 on an 1.42 eMac, when one day I had to change a firewire configuration. I lost the OSX3.9's capabilities. I have attempted everything I can think of, including the original configuration and reinstallation...nothing...Help!

Well, it could be a hardware problem with the display, faulty VRAM. I assume you've tried resetting the resolution using the Display preference pane? Resetting the PRAM should be tried.
You may also need to check the PRAM battery and reset the PMU. See the following:

Why won't my PHOTOS appear when move from OS( to OSX? Get Unix files!

This is the problem with keeping photos electronically. I copied a number of jpeg photos from my G4 OS 9.2 to my G4 Dual OSX via SanDisk and they all appear in the desktop as Unix files! Are they worthless?

Hi Studedot,
no, they are not useless. First try to double-click one. Does it open? Does it open in the correct program?
Click any photo and type Apple-i to get the information window. In the lowest third of the window you can see a pop-up menu called "Open with". Select the desired application and finally click "Apply to all".
From now on the icon should be o.k. and they should open with the assigned application.

Windows 8 on Macbook Pro (early 2011)

Hi,
I want to install Windows 8 on my macbook pro (early 2011) running the new Mavericks 10.9, but im stucked at the formating process when installing windows 8.
So first I go into boot camp and partition my disk as it guides me to. When It has finished and rebooted I'll hold the alt-option to select the windows disc (efi-boot). When I choose the language, typed the activationcode and all that, it wants me to format the partition i made, and thats when I got stucked. When i try to format it, it says:
"Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk has an MBR partition table. On EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GTP disks.
Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure that the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
I downloaded my windows from dreamsparks microsoft, and im pretty sure it is the full version (not the upgrade). The file size is 3.6GB. I don't know if that can tell which version of windows it is.
I don't know what to do about this problem, I need help please!
Thanks

Suggestions for new router/switch

I have a wired Ethernet network in my office, and have been using a Linksys BEFSR81 router with it since installation. The following machines are connected:
MacPro early 2009 OSX.5.7
G5 2.0 dual OSX.5.7
iMac flat panel 700 mHz OSX.4.11 (2 identical machines)
HP 2300n printer
Brother multifunction printer/fax/copier
The router is dying and needs to be replaced. The whole network is hard wired but I could use a wireless router (e.g. Linksys WRT310) with a switch (I need at least 6-7 ports total. The selection of wired-only routers is very limited; what would people suggest for replacing the Linksys BEFSR81?

Check these pages out first on how to install. NOTE, to look for the"GL" version, as the G, GL, GS, GX are all on the same page.
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Installation
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54G/GL/GS/GX
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Index:FAQ
For the GL, you need to flash 2 firmwares initially in the beginning.
You first need to flash a mini generic (or micro); just go with mini, to the router first. Then after the mini is installed, flash the standard generic.
To easily find the right versions. Go to the dd-wrt homepage, and then look for the tab that says "supported hardware". Click on that and type in: WRT54GL (which is your router name, the one I recommended). The model GL model will show up, and click on it. There you will have all the firmwares that can be used with the WRT54GL.
There are a few different ones, but the ones you need to download are the "mini generic" AND "standard generic" (non-usb standard generic, if you're connecting through ethernet. Only if you use usb to connect to the internet then the usb version). Look at the file name to confirm.
Flash mini first, then standard second. And you only have to do this once.
Make sure to read through the above installation guide carefully, and just basically take your time. Some things to look out for are mainly just 2 things:
(1) Doing 30/30/30 hard-resets before AND after flashing.
(2) Use Internet Explorer to do the initial flash. DO NOT use firefox (maybe not even safari). This is only for the initial flash with the linksys firmware on. Once dd-wrt firmware is on, any browser will do. This is in the install guide, but basically any PC with IE will do fine. If you don't have access to a PC, you can even use the "old" IE for mac. That will work too.
Again just take your time, read things, and double check them. It's actually a very easy process after you've done it once.

[Mac] strange happenings CS4

System etc: Mac ppc G5 dual, OSX 10.4.11
Symptoms affect CS4 (AI, PS, Indd, but not Acrobat or Bridge, oddly), but not other non-adobe apps that I use. AI is the worst affected: it does not remember the last place saved or visited, but always defaults to "documents" or the generic network menu. (I work off external drives for the most part). Persistent menus in the workspace, like the PMS swatchbooks, are lost every time the app is closed. Attempting to ever use the central scroll menu on a "save as" results in instant crash. PS and Indd tend to just have memory failure and crashes on using the scroll menu rather than the sidebar navigation.
I have read about some of these issues in other posts on these forums, and the suggested cures, such as deleting any general mac/adobe shared folders and plists etc in the various libraries. I've done this twice, uninstalled twice and even clean installed the whole machine after deleting the affected progs from the HD. Java is a PITA to reinstall!
I'm fairly certain I can't have cleaned the machinery out as thoroughly as I should have the last time I did this. So the reason for the query is: before I strip this thing down again, does anyone know/have experience of this kind of problem and have a kind of hitlist for what may cause any of the problems? At one time I was blaming Bridge, but I'm not so sure now.
Help is gratefully appreciated!

thanks a lot caroln,

and it continues to happen
wonder whats wrong?

Hotsync problems

hi friends,
I am experiencing a lot of problems trying my first hotsync.
device: palm tx
mac g4 osx 10.5
(i tryed also with ibook g3 osx 10.4
and with G5 dual osx 10.4)experiencing the same problems.
i downloaded from palm support palm desktop mac 421Revd
connected tx to mac via USB
i installed desktop (it don't ask for an account)
hotsync was enabled
"palm connect" and USB flagged
push the button on the cradle
after half minute tx displays a message:impossible to connectdevice-desktop.check setting and try again
(hotsync was set on Local and there is no hotsync user name)
I tryed again, i disconnected and reconnetted usb cable.
restarted the application, restarted my mac, reinstalled desktop many times, changed cable,
made soft and hard reset
probably tryed also other... always the same message...
I changed approach:
i took an old pc, installed on it a win xp pro
downloaded palm desktop for win
and...experienced the same problems...
one can think: the device is damaged!
hear me:
I use a pc of a friend of mine( win xp pro)
downloaded desktop for win
I installed the software , it asked me for an account and worked fine.
I installed on tx some applications without any problem...
it works fine!!!
unfortunately I need my tx have to works on my macs and at present,
i can't make it...
thanks in advance for any advice!

Post relates to: Palm TX

My calendar and address book havn't been 'HotSyncing' for a couple of weeks now. Have re-loaded software, done a hard re-set etc. When I do a Hot Sync, both say it has worked OK, but it hasn,t.Info doesn't pass between PC and PDA. However, I've just discovered something interesting that may be the problem, but I can't resolve it.
On my PC, I have (on left of palm desktop page) both Calendar and Date listed. Calender has info on it, date has no info. When I look at the Hot Sync applications section, calendar is not listed, but date book is. Hence, when I do a HotSync, the PC and PDA don't talk to one another!
Same with address etc. On PC I have both address and contacts listed. On HotSync Applications, address is listed, but not contacts. The PDA has contacts listed, but not address.
I have Tungstan E2, Palm 6.2.2, HS manager 7.0.2, Windows XP. Hot Symch with Palm OS, not Outlook

FCP 3 permanent crash - can't reopen

Running FCP3 with a Mac G4 dual - OSX Panther. Working on my first project in ages, loaded all clips, shut down FCP. When I went to restart FCP the program starts to open then shuts down immediately.
Added ILife 04 and Panther last year. Could these affect FCP3. Any advice appreciated!!! Of course this happens when I'm working on a project for my boss!

Sounds like a 'kernal panic'...did a quick search in this forum and came up with this...
Studio X, "Final Cut Pro 3 quits when trying log and capture" #1, 03:47pm Sep 29, 2005 CDT
doesn't really offer a solution, but you might want to try the MacOS forum (for your OS) and see if they can help.
Only other thing I'd suggest would be clean reinstall of the OS and apps...I realize that's not happy info, but try the OS forum, and see if they suggest the same or other alternatives before trying that.
Sorry, I'm unable to be of more assistance...others may know more than I do.
BTW thanks for posting the profile + for you.

Will Lion run my old apps?

I have a 2007 MacBook Pro, 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 5667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, running OS 10.6.8. It has Microsoft Office X and Dreamweaver 8 on it. My TurboTax 2014 disc requires 10.7 or higher. Will Lion run my old apps if I upgrade? I thought I read somewhere that it wouldn't.

It depends upon the given applications. Any PPC applications will not run on Lion.

You could run a dual OSX system with Snow Leopard on one partition and Lion on another.

UPS energy management

My new UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) has an USB port so I thought give it a try and see if there is Mac OS X software around.
Astounding, I encountered that there is an USP manager built right into tiger. It activates automatically as a tab in Energy control panel (or at least it should).
Unfortunately when connecting the UPS with USB to my 24" iMac dual, OSX tells me that "the device connected to the USB port consumes too much energy" (from the port I suppose and it does disactivate that port.
The UPS I use is from a local Southamerican company – or they just do their label on it, I dont know. Its called Mtek Pro+825AVR interactive UPS.
Maybe its just not compatible to usual standard UPS interface protocol? Has someone an idea? Or similar experience?
Regards,
Thomas

Hi mikemigs, and a Warm Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Power Mac G5 Forum!
A Wise Move to invest in an UPS.
If you have the USB control port on the UPS connected to the G5, and Energy Saver UPS Options set up correctly - then the G5 will Shut-Down at the appointed moment - come what may. Unsaved changes are lost.
At least - that's what happens on this G5 DP2 on an APC Smart-UPS 1000VA.
As it's an abrupt process, it's probably a good idea to run Disk Utility > Repair Permissions and Verify Disk on the boot drive, when the dust has settled.

Is there any possible way I can dual boot Windows with OSX 10.7.2 on a MacBook Pro 15' from 2006?

Hello,
I am new to this forums.
I have searched about dual boot win/mac, but couldn't find a clear answer, so I decided to post this now.
I run a MacBook Pro 15' from 2006 (Intel based) and have upgraded it to OSX 10.7.2 Lion.
I have tried to install windows 7 on a small (20GB) partition by using Bootcamp, but then I've received a notice saying that there was no windows support software available. However, I did install Windows 7 Professional by unchecking that box. After the installation I have downloaded the windows support software and tried to install it but then I've received a notice saying that I can't install it on this machine.
Could you please give me any suggestions on how to dual boot win/mac, if it is possible at all using this machine? And how to safely go back to where I was before (with a single mac OSX 10.7.2 partition)?
Thanks.

This problem has been solved as I just needed to download Boot Camp 4.
Can I delete this post?

Why does thunderbolt/mini displayport to active Dual Link DVI apdater not work on Osx Lion 10.3

Hi I am using a Korean IPS display PCBANK 27 Inch on my Macbook Pro Late 2011 with OSX Lion 10.3
I am currently using a Official Apple Displayport/Thunderbolt -> Dual Link DVI D Adapter.
When I use a windows 7 boot cd it powers up the monitor and it displays. When I use a Linux Live CD it boots the monitor up and displays at full resolution.
When I use Osx Lion 10.3 it does not even detect the display at all which quite odd.
Can anyone help me trouble shoot.
I went to options and screen settings and tried detect display it comes up with nothing :S I am thinking it has to do with APPLES ATI drivers? perhaps? I have a 6750 HD.
Anyone ?

Above mentioned graphics card can only go as high as 2048 x 1536 where the 27" Cinema Display does 2560x1440 by native. Atlona's AT-DP400 will only pass the given resolution through the display and won't be able to reach to the maximum supported resolution and 1280x720 will become the next available/supported resolution by the monitor. Atlona makes another model of signal converter which also scales to the native resolution (2560x1440), Model#AT-HD620 which will work the best for your setup.

Attempted to install windows 7 for dual boot but OSX installation now missing???

I've tried to install Wndows 7 on my macbook air for dual boot but got the kernal error on boot.
I loaded from the CD again and it sucessfully installed win 7 but when I start the macbook air up it only appears to have windows installed?
How can I get my OSX back?

For some odd reason when you use bootcamp to install the second OS bootcamp is defaulted as the primary OS you will need to hold option key to select the apple OS then in the sys preference under startup disk select apple as primary.

Macbook Pro - 2 Hard Drives - Dual Boot OS OSX + Windows

Hello guys, I've been facing an issue here
I bought an SSD 2 years ago and changed the original MBP HD. I did a fresh install of OSX while still having my optical drive. Everything is fine with the OSX installation.
Recently I bought an enclosure and installed the original MBP HD drive into the optical drive slot. Now i have two HD's on my MBP (Early 2011 - Unibody Model)
The configuration for the Hard Drives is as follows:
SSD Drive - disk 0 - OS X Running fine
HD Drive - disk 1 - clean formatted to accommodate Windows 7 installation
I started the BootCamp Utility formated the second hard drive to install windows from bootable USB. Everything works fine until the point where the Windows installation actually expands the files. I always get the same error, that windows cannot be installed on that drive and any changes will be reverted back to original settings.
Several hours after researching the whole thing this is what I've got:
The error that I am getting is for the configuration of the drives, a fix to this problem is to take out my SSD, install the old HD in its original position, install windows normally, put my SSD back in its position and put the old HD in the optical drive and thus I will have the Dual Boot of two OS in two different HD's. That's really really awful as I have to take appart again the whole thing and swap between the drives till the process is finished. This is because The EFI boot + Windows to be installed require the disk that windows to be installed to be on main slot - disk 0.
My question here is, is there any fix to the BootCamp assistant to let me install windows on the hard drive that it is located on the disk 1 position?
Moreover is there any way to install windows through the environment of OSX with the use of a VM, but, the windows to be a bootable OS rather than a VM bootable image? (on disk 1 - optical drive SATA port). - What I mean by that is, while running OS X normally on disk 0 run a VM software that will mimic the environment of a bootloader so that I can install windows on disk 1, but after I shut down my computer, windows should be accessible on disk 1 as a normal installed OS.
Sorry for the long post and thank you very much for your time, any suggestions would be really helpful.

You can install Parallels or Fusion, either will work. When you setup either Parallels or fusion you can tell it to use your already installed Boot Camp installation of Windows as its target guest operating system.
You would then just boot into OSx, start your VM (Parallels or Fusion), then you'll have access to both OSx and Windows without having to reboot.
I have this setup and two monitors. I have my Windows running on my external monitor and OSx running on my Macbook Pro monitor at the same time.
Beware that you will need to re-register Windows to get a second key. This is free and easily done either online or by calling the Microsoft registration number. The reason for needing a second key is that Windows, although only installed once in your Boot Camp partition sees the virtual hardware created by your virtual machine and thinks it has been reinstalled on a new computer.

It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a G% dual 2.0ghz, now my older version of Firefox is gone...

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 and It will not run on Mac OSX 10.5.8, on a Mac G5 dual 2.0ghz. Now my older version of Firefox is gone...Why won't it work, the download page says it is for OSX and does not say it will not work on any particular OSX. Can your clarify. And can I get the old Firefox 3 back or should I continue using Safari....?

Yes I've read every one of them, none of them provide solutions whatsoever, I have spent about ten hours on this site in the past two days to no avail, none of the "resolved" threads provided any sort of solution for me, I have tried everything suggested on this website so far, multiple times, to no avail.
