Ethernet connection pismo- G4 to read disk warrior

I have a pismo G3, OS 10.3.9 that is not reading the correct date and time. I ran the disk utility and corrected the disk permissions. But when I went to start up from the OS disk to correct the disk, my pb would not read the disk. Nor start up from it. Same thing for my DiskWarrior disk.
I would like to connect my pismo to my G4 desktop and have the desktop read my disks and repair the pismo. I know I can do this with a firewire connection, but I left that cable at work, and it's not possible for me to buy another here at home. I have an ethernet crossover cable that I can use, but nothing in the documents I read here at apple explain how I can get the G4 to help repair my pismo disk via ethernet. Can anyone advise me?
Thanks,
Sheila

Sorry, but I do not know of any way to use the Ethernet connection to get the Pismo in "Target Disk Mode" (which is what the Firewire connection does). Older Macs used to be able to go into Target Disk Mode using the SCSI port, but never heard of Ethernet. If the Pismo is not working well enough to boot up and configure as a file server then the Ethernet connection is pretty much useless. However, while I've never done it, I think it might be possible to do a boot from a networked computer that is acting as a file server. Sorry I don't know exactly how it must be configured (e.g., OS X server or just OS X with the boot volume shared), but I suspect it needs some sort of special software to act as a remote boot device.
What you can try doing is a reset of your parameter RAM, though. It sounds like the PRAM battery has finally failed in the Pismo (date and time loss is one symptom). It could be that the PRAM content is so badly muddled that it cannot find the startup disk. Hold down the Cmd-Option-P-R keys (yes, it does take 2 hands) as soon as you can after pressing the Pismo power button - it must be within a couple seconds - and continue holding them down until you hear the computer reboot at least 2 times (some people do it for 4 or 5 chime sequences). That will put PRAM back to factory defaults and (hopefully) allow you to boot from your normal startup volume.
Note that as long as you leave the Pismo plugged into an AC power supply, it should hopefully hold the new configuration. So you could also then try booting up into single-user mode (hold down Command and letter "S" as soon as you power on) and doing a /sbin/fsck -yf to repair your startup disk (which works if only you have OS 10 installed on it). Another thing to try is to hold down the Option key right after powering on to bring up the screen that will select your bootup volume. If you have your G4 set to target disk mode with a Firewire cable, you can actually boot from its hard drive. But you do need the Firewire cable, which you say you cannot get. Hmmm - if you have configured your G4 to share your startup volume via Ethernet, this MIGHT be a way to get to its hard disk to boot up, but I can't say for sure.

Add Ethernet connected external disk

I have removed an internal disk from my old G4 Tower, put it in an enclosure so that I can use it as an external disk. The enclosure comes with a USB 2 or Ethernet connection and I wanted to try and use the Ethernet port.
When I connect the device to the laptop, the ethernet activity LEDs on the disk drive start to flash but the disk is not mounted on my desktop. The status of the Ethernet port in Network shows thatr the port is connected but it doesn't have an IP address and is not connected to the internet. I think this last part is a red herring because I am connected to the internet via Airport.
If I connect the disk via USB, then it mounts immediately. I have a feeling that the problem with the ethernet connection might have something to do with IP addresses but I am out of my depth with this.
Can anyone help please?
Many thanks,

I am marking this as answered although in reality it isn't. With no replies or suggestions I thought it best to close and ask it in another forum.

TS1550 What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine

What about when using the "Time Capsule" HD as the external disk, especially when it is connected by ethernet cable? I'm having trouble getting it to work at all. Don't need it to work as anything else, other than a ethernet connected Time Machine backup. Already have a wireless network that works fine so no need to mess with it. We get the internet via cable company and their modem is upstairs and the Time Capsule is downstairs in the basement. The latest error message was about it could not backup as it was already in use (should have written it down before clicking OK and moving on.

See if this helps...

Disk Warrior can't see startup drive

I have a 2008 iMac running Mountain Lion and have not been able to start up from the internal hard drive since a system crash. Following the advice on these forums, I tried Disk Utility, but it could not repair the problems it found with the disk. I purchased Disk Warrior and booted from its CD, but it cannot see the startup disk either. Previously, I had been able to boot from the Mountain Lion recovery partition and see the afflicted drive from another machine in Disk Utility when connected in Firewire target disk mode. But having tried both since running Disk Warrior, the affected drive no longer shows up. Is there anything else I can do to try to get Disk Warrior to see the drive and repair/recover files from it?
Note: I have a recent Time Machine backup but wanted to exhaust all my options trying to work on the startup drive before testing that TM backup on new hardware. (As an aside, is it possible to restore the TM backup to another volume—that is, not the affected drive, assuming that's impossible, but another partition of an external drive—and boot from it to check and see if there any problems with the backup? (My fear is that whatever caused the initial crash and problems will persist in the Time Machine backup, but perhaps I am being paranoid.)
Thanks for any advice.

Thanks for the tip. I figured out that as the drive is not connected via USB, then of course it won't show in Disk Utility. And the Lacie Cloudbox I bought only has Ethernet.
Lacie do not supply any software to format the drive as far as I can see. The set-up utility they used to ship doesn't exist any more.

External Hard drive "not readable", does not show up in Disk Warrior either. Help me, please!

I have a 500gb G Drive Slim that is almost brand new. I accidentally pulled the cord out when it was connected, and now when I try to open it, it says "not readable by this computer." This is what I see when I go into disc utility:
I called G Drive, and they told me to download Disk Warrior 4. I did, and this is what I see when I open it:
My hard drive doesn't show up...i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong but I just paid $100 dollars for this and I'd really like some help. I read the manual and it wasn't helpful at all.
Please help me!

Make sure it's format is Mac OS Extended (Journeled).
To check it's format, plug in the External HDD and search Disk Utility in the spotlight. Click the External HDD and go to the Partition tab. If it isn't Mac OS Extended change it and format it.
You shouldn't need any of these external applications to use it. I have one and use it like a flash drive.

How do I run Disk Warrior on new MacBook Pros?

I am trying to help my good friend who purchased a Late-2012 Macbook Pro 13-inch Core i5 2.5 GHz. It runs 10.8 ML. WIth reckless technical abandon, she swamped and corrupted her HD directory with repeated massive transfers of large-size photo files in and out of her laptop when the drive was already probably at least 95% full to capacity. She probably experienced repeated Out-of-Memory notifications as she would try to perform these ops while Photoshop was using almost all available free space on the same disk as Scratch Storage for its operations.
Suddenly she could not boot her MBP. She called Apple warranty support, and they convinced her the only thing she could do was to wipe the HD and reinstall the OS. Angry as **** about losing about 3 weeks of critical photo images since her last backup, she dutifully obeyed. She said the wipe operation took only a part of a minute.
So, with that background, I told her I felt the wipe was not a low-level erase at all, but just the most minimal erase procedure possible, and that I thought many of her old files may be recoverable with a tool like DiskWarrior if she did it immediately, before starting to reinstall applications and other content back onto the disk.Can anyone back me up on this?
Now, on to how I can try to do the recovery. She has considered sending the drive out to a "clean room" recovery service, but before doing so at great cost, I wanted to at least try a DiskWarrior directory repair. With no optical drive, she cannot boot from the Disk Warrior 7.X DVD, or create a bootable CD or DVD to run Disc Warrior for the same reason. How else can we force the MBP to allow the hard drive to be read by DiskWarrior? Can I load DW on a FireWire drive and use Thunderbolt-to-FW adapter on MBP to boot from it? Disk Warrior's website still says "The current DiskWarrior DVD cannot start up the new MacBook Pros introduced June 11, 2012. An updated disc that will also start up these recent Mac models will be released as soon as Apple, Inc. releases new startup files to Alsoft, Inc. and other developers." Do I still have to wait for something from Apple? Or can I put the MBP in Target Mode and run DW connected via FireWire (and Thunderbolt adapter) from my own MacBook running OSX Lion? And hopefully repair her directory? Is there hope here?

You'll need to install Windows on your Macbook. This can be done by either using Boot Camp (free, from Apple) or Parallels Desktop for Mac (free trial, $80 retail). Either approach requires that you own an additional copy of Windows (Windows XP sp2 for Boot Camp) which you will then install on your Mac.
In brief, Boot Camp sets up your Mac so you can boot into either OS X or Windows (but not have both running at the same time; you switch via a reboot), and Parallels creates a virtual machine in which you will run Windows while OS X is running. You're correct that you can't run Virtual PC on your Intel-based Mac. Parallels will give you that functionality on your Mac (and be a lot faster than Virtual PC in the process).
You might want to start with Parallels' free trial and see if that meets your needs for these CDs. Parallels doesn't require that you make changes to your partitions on your drive; it just installs an application and creates a virtual disk which to OS X is just another file (albeit a large one), and you don't need to reboot to switch back and forth between Windows and OS X. If it works, you're set.
If you have graphics adapter-intensive Windows applications (e.g., games or something that requires 3D acceleration), you'll be better off with Boot Camp, because the current version of Parallels does not support DirectX or 3D hardware acceleration.
Hopefully that will get you started. There's other info in the Discussions comparing Parallels to Boot Camp, but feel free to ask if you have questions.

Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
Thank you again
I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
Here is the Apple info on reset.

And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

How do I restore files from External Harddrive - Disk warrior cannot rebuild

Hi Guys
I have a External Hard drive that I can see via Disk Ulitity and shows in finder - but I cannot see the actual files and directories, hence not being able to copy them to a new external hard drive
When I connect the External Harddrive to my Macbook I'm getting the message
"OS X can't repair the disk "Untitled"
You can still open or copy files on the disk, but you can’t save changes to files on the disk. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can."
Disk Utility says I have free space so it is recognising the files. I have Time Machine backups on this external harddrive "Untitled" that I need to critical use.
Basically how do I get the files off this external harddrive before it fully stops working? I have tried rebuilding the disk with Disk Warrior but this does not work.
Thank you anyone! I hope someone can help!

Well, I would skip the Firewire since it isn't essential. Connect the backup drive to your new Retina when it arrives, but before you turn it on for the first time. When you then turn it on you will begin in the Setup Assistant where you will have an opportunity to restore your files from a backup drive or another computer. Select the appropriate option. You can then restore (migrate) your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. Once that is completed when the computer restarts you will be all set up in your old Home folder.
Note that you will be transferring files over a USB connection. Depending upon how much data you are transferring this may take a very long time, so be patient. A USB drive's typical transfer rate is about 12 GBs/hour.

Disk Utility sees problem invisible to Disk Warrior?

Hi all,
In brief: Disk Utility seems to think I've got a big problem, Disk Warrior seems to be unable to fix it.
More detail: I ran verify disk from Disk Utility and was told I needed to repair my startup volume. So I ran Disk Utility's repair disk function from the install CD and it was unable to repair the disk. It was also unable to repair permissions.
So I reached for trusty Disk Warrior and ran that. It rebuilt the directory, reporting various changes, eventually ending with zero errors. That should have fixed it, right?
But then I re-ran Disk Utilty and was told, again, that the disk needed to be repaired.
Here's what happened when I ran DU's repair function from the install CD:
- I selected only the volume containing Mac OS X for repair and Disk Utility reported there's an "invalid leaf record count (it should be 3 instead of 525) and also that '1 HFS volume repaired' but '1 HFS volume could not be repaired'. (I'd selected only my startup volume).
- The verify disk function reports the same
- The repair disk permissions function cannot complete its task. Its error message reads: "Disk Utility internal error: disk utility has lost its connection with the disk management tool and cannot continue. Please quit and relaunch disk utility."
So, I ran Disk Warrior AGAIN (2nd time) and sure enough, it reports that it successfully rebuilt the directory but that the rebuilt version has no changes from the original version (meaning it's ok, right?).
Needless to say, if my startup disk DOES need repair, I want to do something about it. But does it need repair? And if Disk Warrior can't fix it, what can? Could it be that Disk Utility is seeing a problem that's invisible to Disk Warrior?
By the way, I ran DW's manual diagnostic and it said the drive itself was operating normally.
Very grateful if any of you can give me some insight into this.

Hi Allan,
Sure thing. Here's the business.
Disk Warrior (v3.0.3)
DW reports that it's successfully rebuilt a new directory each time I run it. I've run it three times now. The first time, there were differences between the original directory and the rebuilt version and it displayed a message coloured red describing this. On the subsequent two occasions, it has displayed a message coloured green and said there are "no changes to the number or contents of the files and folders" in the rebuilt directory.
DW's manual diagnostic reports that the drive itself is "operating normally."
DU
Running DU internally (from the volume that also contains 10.4.9), it can only 'verify', of course. The volume's name is 'G5 hard drive'. The full message is:
Verifying volume “G5 hard drive”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Incorrect number of Extended Attributes
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
d.",1)
G5 hard drive
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
Running DU (repair disk) from the install CD (for Powermac G5, OS X 10.3.5) produces the following report:
Repairing disk for "G5 hard drive"
Checking HFS plus volume
Checking extents overflow file
Checking catalog file
Checking multi-linked files
Checking catalog hierachy
Checking extent attributes file
Invalid leaf record count
(It should be 3 instead of 422)
Repairing volume
The volume G5 hard drive was repaired successfully
Repair attempted on 2 volumes
1 HFS volume repaired
1 HFS volume could not be repaired
So let's say that DW is doing it all right, and the copy of DU on the install CD (10.3.5) is producing an inaccurate result because it doesn't match up with Tiger, I can understand that. But why would the same problem come up with DU run internally from (in the course of the last 24 hours) both 10.4.8 and 10.4.9 (because the problem survived my upgrade)?
On the other hand, Allan, possibly DW isn't the right tool for the job. In that case, do you know what is?
Thanks,

Kernel Panic PERSISTS :/ after multiple Disk Warrior and Disk Repairs

Hey guys, I need your wisdom!
My OS took a dump on me the other night. Finder froze up and when I restarted, I got this at boot up, (see below, after my whole explaination as to what I've tried).
So, I bought an external drive, partitioned and installed Mavericks OS, along with Disk Warrior.
I ran through everything on DW and it seemed to find issues and repair the problems. Then I ran it through Disk Utility and it all checked out, "ok".
However, when I went to restart with my main OS, it gave the kernel panic error, again.
I'm frustrated, needless to say. I've repeatedly tried to rebuild the drive, repair disk permissions, etc, and every time it seems to "work" but it doesn't.
I am running a data recovery program and it's seeming to find all my files there. But, I really want to just try to resolve this problem to access the drive and do a backup from within.
Please, what are you thoughts on this?

Um, so what about the TM backup, will it not transfer over the kernel panic errors?
Target Disk Mode requires a second Mac. It puts a "bad" Mac which may have hardware issues and cannot boot properly, in a mode where the internal drive can be mounted on a second Mac as an external Thunderbolt/Firewire drive.
1. Power cycle Kernel-Panic MAC (KP-MAC) in TDM by holding the T key at the chime. If you see a floating FW symbol, then the KP-MAC is in TDM.
2. Use a second Mac (Good-MAC) and connect the KP-MAC via Thunderbolt/FW cables as appropriate. This may require a TB-to-FW adapter, a FW800-to-FW400 "gender-bender" and an appropriate cable.
3. Once the KP-MAC drive is visible on the G-MAC, you can either create a full disk image backup of the KP-MAC Disk.
4. You can also configure an external drive as a TM target and backup KP-MAC's internal drive via TM with appropriate TM Options.
5. In this case the KP-MAC OS is not in use, just the hardware/firmware which is required to put it in TDM.
This can be useful when your graphics card or display may not work properly, but the CPU/Memory/Disk ar relatively unaffected.
How do I even do a TM backup on that original drive from my temp OS?
As suggested earlier, TM can be used.
Linc suggested using Disk Utility and doing it that way to make a backup and then transferring over everything to a newly installed OS that way.
In TDM, if a TM backup is not possible, for any number of reasons, Disk Utility can create an image of KP-MAC's drive which can be moved to any desired location and files can be extracted as necessary.
Another option is to create an external bootable OS on a USB/FW disk, boot from it, assuming that KP-MAC can be booted and does not have significant HW issues, and create a Disk Image to an external disk destination.
It's almost 15 years of my life on there.
Hence the need for a very good backup/restore strategy.

2 ethernet connection error

I am installing a new WRT54G on my computer. Followed all the instructions on disk for the connections for computer to my Surfboard cable modem to the router. When it tries to read the router, it doesn't read it. What happens is I lose my internet connection. The error pops up that I have 2 ethernet connections open. This is my first and only ethernet that i know of. What's the problem?

Your router should work when set to its factory default settings.
To reset your router to factory defaults, use the following procedure:
1) Power down all computers, the router, and the modem, and unplug them from the wall.
2) Disconnect all wires from the router.
3) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
4) Press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds, then release it, then let the router reset and reboot (2-3 minutes).
5) Power down the router.
6) Connect one computer by wire to port 1 on the router (NOT to the internet port).
7) Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes).
8) Power up the computer (if the computer has a wireless card, make sure it is off).
9) Try to ping the router. To do this, click the "Start" button > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. A black DOS box will appear. Enter the following: "ping 192.168.1.1" (no quotes), and hit the Enter key. You will see 3 or 4 lines that start either with "Reply from ... " or "Request timed out." If you see "Reply from ...", your computer has found your router.
10) Open your browser and point it to 192.168.1.1. This will take you to your router's login page. Leave the user name blank, and in the password field, enter "admin" (with no quotes). This will take you to your router setup page. Note the version number of your firmware (usually listed near upper right corner of screen). Exit your browser.
If you get this far without problems, power down the computer and router. Using an ethernet cable, wire the ethernet port on the modem to the Internet port on the router. Leave the computer wired to LAN port 1 on the router. Power up the modem and allow it to fully boot (1-5 minutes). Power up the router and allow it to fully boot (1-2 minutes). Power up your computer. Test your Internet connection. It should work.
If you cannot get "Reply from ..." in step 9 above, your router is dead.
If you get a reply in step 9, but cannot complete step 10, then either your router is dead or the firmware is corrupt. In this case, use the Linksys tftp.exe program to try to reload your router with the latest firmware. After reloading the firmware, repeat the above procedure starting with step 1.
If you need additional help, please state your ISP, the make and model of your modem, your router's firmware version, and the results of steps 9 and 10. Also, if you get any error messages, copy them exactly and report back.
Please let me know how things turn out for you.

Ethernet connection lost after update to 10.5.7

I lost my Ethernet connection after the 10.5.7 update. I have checked all cables and ports. Any ideas?

Hi, I tried rebooting with shift down, then rebooting again. No network still.
I looked in /var/log/system.log, but nothing from AppleYukon2.
I pasted the relevant portion from system.log beginning with the shutdown prior to rebooting with shift. I hope there's not too much text...........
The log below includes the reboot while holding shift as well as the subsequent reboot.
I did see several useful messages in the system log (below), for example:
May 13 15:52:44 localhost kernel[0]: GbE en0: en0 Link down
May 13 15:52:44 localhost kernel[0]: GbE en1: en1 Link down
Thanks for your help.

Hooray for Disk Warrior 4! Rescued my external HD.

There have been some discussions about the new Disk Warrior 4 (the one for intel) that were, when I looked at them, inconclusive.
Well, I'm here to tell you that it works. I have an external Seagate 250G HD connected via firewire. I keep in it all sorts of things, but mostly stuff that I use for music. Not only my entire mp3 collection, but sample collections used for Logic Pro.
Anyway, today, the external HD was not mounting anymore. Tried everything, including Disk tools, Tech Tools 4, and Tinker Tools. Nothing would work. So I dowloaded Disk Warrior 4 from their website.
5 minutes later, after Disk Warrior "went to work", I had my external HD mounted on my desktop and my files back. It was not a 100% success though. I also had on that disk an OSX 10.4.8 system, so that I could boot from it, and, for example, repair my MBP's HD, and I could not boot from it anymore after DW repaired it. Now, I'm in the prcess of backing my files from external HD -> MBP so that I can re-initialise it, and re-install OSX. But I do have my files back which, 15 minutes ago, I thought were lost.
So, Disk Warrior 4 saved my day. I have no affiliation whatsoever with them, by the way, in case you were wondering...I'm just interested in sharing a solution by using DW4 which many people were scheptical about, including me. Some said in this forum and elsewhere that they would not buy a .0 version, preferring to wait until the next release, presumably to have the bugs ironed-out. Some others were bothered by Alsoft's licensing system. Whatever, I say...It saved my files, 'nuf said. So there you go...Some feedback for you folks, hope it helps.
A.

Looks like HD is dead, installed Tiger successfully but during updates of software, HD started making noises and now won't start.
Suggestions for HD replacement service appreciated....posted separate thread for this.

Mac Not Starting Up When Ethernet Connection Removed

Hi
I took my mac away from home and as of yet don't have any type of internet connection. I was hoping to still use it for itunes, photos, etc. until my cabel internet is up and running.
However, I powered it up without the Ethernet connection and it didn't seem to boot up. I just got the gray screen with one of those cirlces with a line through it (think Ghostbusters) and it didn't seem to boot up.
I am going to try it again tonight but was wondering if anyone had similar experiences. ??
Thanks!

Your Mac appears to have forgotten the location of its boot volume. Restart the Mac while pressing and holding the "Option" key. This should then give you the option of selecting the boot volume.
After the Mac has started and has opened your account, go to System Preferences > Startup disk from the Apple menu and select your boot volume to reset it as the Startup disk.

My OSX is makin swiss cheese of my HD and it just killed Disk Warrior

PowerG3 blue and grey- It started right after auto update added (MSE, JRT, OSX1.*)an update of something claiming it would make things smoother. Im at X1.5 trying to get to Tiger X4.* I don't know what exactly is happening but the computer seems only quasi-stable. I just went through all that in the 9 to 9.22 trek where the computer actually crashed, shut down, not just froze (beautiful and terifying kept expecting Bicyl. Blt. for Two). Finally got it stable in 9.22 but then proceded to X. I can't get (hardly) any applications to run in X (they blink? with no message), don't even worry about classic yet (it doesn' run). MSExplorer seems to be the only thing that works but it crashes "unexpectedly" and has difficulty resolving web page content. I feel something (or absolutely nothing) must be done soon to prevent permanent brain damage. When I boot in 9.22 applications run but all are affected. "invalid instructions", "bus error" and "unexpectations" increasingly abound. Now, I can't boot Disk Warrior. G3 sees the CD system but never activates the application. Startup gets kicked back to the startup disk which freezes before it gets far. I can boot again in 9.22 or X and disk first aid sees and repairs the same (?) "mount" error. But its still shakin like a leaf.
Seems there should be a simple explanation why the applications in the install package don't work with the OS. Something easy I can start with? And poor DW, oh the humanity. I tried this 5 years ago and just ran back to 9. An ever diminishing option.
Me- 1st time poster but the discussions have saved me numerous times- Disk Warrior slew my invalid sib link only because I read it here. AppleII(16K) 1979, seven models since. Im not a moron and I know Mac but I'm stumped. Tried some stabs in the dark but if I waste too much more time Im gonna lose the patient.
Any old timer want to explain peek-poke to the kids? they think us mad but at 16k we pretty much looked at every bit one at a time.
PowerG3 Mac OS X (10.1.x) blue and grey 9 to 10.4
PowerG3 Mac OS X (10.1.x) blue and grey

Hi, thanks for your time.
Its teal (blue) and translucent grey (white?). Its a tower with no DVD or floppy. I believe its the "blue and white" model. 384MB RAM (100 addeed) 9.5GB HD, Scsi 2960 added. Also have sony DVD-R/W, que? CD-R/W, APS optical drive, cable modem, epson printer, Canon digital camera currently connected.
Transferred whole 9.22 system from G3 about 3 years ago. Lost Open transfer along the way. Tried to reinstall OT but couldn't find right combo (now ive got pieces of 8, 9, and X). Succeeded in giving G3 a lobotomy- the little start up Mac icon just smiled and smiled- but that was it. To get it back I reverted to 9.0. With a little fiddling it settled down at about 9.15. Decided to go OSX. Bought Tiger 10.4.6 DVD. Can't load it because sony DVD is unsupported by Mac. I am currently trading it (and $15 more dollars) for CD package by mail to Apple. Installed OS 9.1.1, followed by 9.2.1, upgrade to 9.2.2. including all firmware updates as approved by upgrade software (frequently tells me I am up to date) At this point the computer is completely unstable and I have to rotate start up discs to complete software install. (startup disc is partially responsible variously not recognizing system discs). Very soon after reaching 9.2.2 the dreaded "invalid sibling link" struck-unfixable by Disk first aid and not described on Apple pages at all. The most amazing show ever seen from a Mac. Icons, programs, desktop all in flux and blinking ("finder reports being unable to find finder". Had to use the computer a little to get help even though damge was occuring limped through with combined treatments of Norton Dr, and First aid, . DIscussions to the rescue- they know it and they can fix it. Disk Warrior (last in stock copy) 1.4.7. 30 min later computer fine 9.2.2 stable. I happily go on for about 2 weeks ignoring Tiger.
I move my other G3 from my office find my original X1.1 CD. The DVD and the camera need X to work well they say (they lied they actually need X.3 or better). I procede with install of 1.1. The memories of frustration flood back. Can't navigate and can't get information. New OSX applications mostly just blink the icon upon clicking. Optical drive not recognized, and all my software takes a classic environment which takes a long time to load and never actually works. Updater wants new software but doesnt think I have the right password. Functioning OSX software not working well. Example- MSexplorer updates to 5.1 but needs new QT plug in. Input boxes on web pages are horribly mutated and graphics are chaotic. Its hard to login with ID and Password when there is only one input box and it corresponds to something different (can't Yahoo with MSE). Can't load QT because there is just a big empty space where it says "load 7.1 here". I set startup disk to 9.2.2 and live in ignorance for another 2 weeks.
I need to download from the camera. I need X. this Updater takes my password and makes three updates-including combo 1.1 to 1.5. I use MSE for a short time before it "quits unexpectedly". I try again (and again, 2X) but as expected it "quits unexpectedly" Disgusted I switch back to 9.2.2. TOO LATE. invalid instruction, bus error, unexpected quit, unmapped memory exception with every application. Disk first aid reports a problem and fixes. But the errors continue and Disk first aid reports the same problem and fixes. (repeat 1X more). I put in DiskWarrior and restart. I see the CD icon. It;s taking its usual long time. But then it suddenly restarts in 9.2.2 freezing about half way. Disk Warrior was never activated I believe because the system on the disk (X.4.8) no longer works with the current arrangement. Although startup disk (9 and X) does, system profiler(9) does not see 10.4.8 on the DW CD . It did just a few days ago. I try various combos of 9.2.2, DW, and OSX. DW won't launch, 9.2.2, OSX are still unstable.
I can't believe I made it to Discussions. Reading my post I get an idea and reinstall update combo 1.1 to 1.5. Better? a little, but still I come to you now from 9.2.2 on Netscape and still can't load DW. I'm probably overwriting the hard drive driver right now.
As for Tiger I tried a few times to trick startup into using the DVD but it refused. Someone suggested firmware, but the response is that I'm updated. Maybe there is more I'm missing.
Don't forget the bonus question.
Thanks again hope to hear more.
