Follow up on Installing OS 9 on a Beige G3

Hello again,
Thanks to XPF, I now have Panther running on my Beige G3. It works fine and it will let me boot to 9.2.2, but when I try to reboot back into Panther it freezes and I'm stuck in 9 Any ideas?

>"when using the "start-up" disk utility it freezes."
If you mean the OS 9 Startup Disk Control Panel, be sure you have at least version 9.2.5 of that Control panel installed. "Classic" will install at least that version if you let it "Update your OS 9 software" or similar request. An acceptable version is available as an individual download:
106225- Mac OS X, Mac OS 9: Use Current Startup Disk Control Panel or Mac OS 9.2.2
Installing a later version of the Control panel should stop the crashing, but it will still not allow you to boot to the 10.3 CD. You cannot just use the Startup Disk Control panel to boot a beige G3 from the 10.3 CD. You must have XPostFacto running while the 10.3 CD is in the drive, and ask XPostFacto to boot you to the 10.3 CD.

I just found a way to get Fixit to Run. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/fixit/ and then pick "Install or upgrade software or hardware" and run Fixit from the "Run" button on the webpage. I just picked run, instead of save, and ran it directly from the web page for each of the apple software. If the window doesn't come up full size, hit "Tab" twice and then "Return". You'll be able to see the prompts from there. Have it attempt to uninstall iTunes on its own. Repeat the process for any of the other Apple products, including Bonjour and iCloud. Then, go to the iTunes website and install from there. I had a downloaded copy and installed from there, but it came up with an error about missing the apple help, or something like that. It allowed me to uninstall, and I reinstalled direclty from the website, and it all works now.

My mac mini will not shutdown with either Mavericks or Yosemite (following a clean install)

First noted while running Mavericks, my Mac-Mini will not shutdown. It just hangs on a black screen with the little icon. I created a clean user account and the problem went away. Rather than do a fresh install of Mavericks, I waited until Yosemite came out. I reformatted the drive and did a fresh Yosemite install. I then restored my apps and data only to find the problem is still present. I've also tried stopping many of the applications I would normally expect might cause the problem with no luck. And I tried the one Yosemite suggestion regarding deleting the Library/Caches folder content with no luck.
My naive question: following the fresh install of Mavericks, should I have done a re-install of my (very many) applications instead of a restore from an image?
I've tried looking at the system logs after I've forced a shutdown with the power button but there's nothing I could find that shows any problems.
Any other suggestions of things to try would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks.
It is running 10.5.8.
I am trying to boot up an external drive with 10.5.8 on it. It works on my Macbook Pro which is running 10.5.8, runs on my IMAC running SL. But doesnt work on the mac mini?
It had been running SL, however there are a number of programs I have like Windows Live Sync which are not yet compatable with SL so i downgraded to 10.5.6 which came with the Mac Mini then loaded all updates.
It seems to just go into an auto reboot as soon as i click on it.
i thought it might be the firmware? Is it possible to downgrade them and then re-install?
I have reset the PRAM.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Trying to update Firefox: download latest version, follow directions to install, when restart still have old version

Trying to update Firefox from 3.6.22 to 6.0.2
I download latest version, follow directions to install (move to app folder, drag to dock) but the old version in the dock is what opens.
So I removed old version from dock, put new version in, and restarted computer for good measure.
But when I restart still have old version...
How do I get the newest version of Firefox to be the one my computer uses?
Have tried to download and install several times over several months without success...

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

All mail is marked as unread following iOS 7 install. How do I fix that?

All mail is marked as unread following iOS 7 install. How do I fix that?

Ignore my last question. This was entirely user inflicted.
The count that shows on the mail icon on the iPad shows the number of email in the "New" folder on my AOL account. Some of these are emails that I read and then marked as unread. In the previous versions, these "read and then marked as unread' emails did not show in the count on the iPad icon...but now they do. Not a big deal...it's just different.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
thanks for your reply.
Yes, except n°1 - empty Temp directory, I had tried/checked all of those.
I emptied the local temp folder tonight, but it still won't work.
Please note: the installation doesn't give me any problem. The program was working fine, until at one point *plouf* it stopped working. I can re-install it without any problem, it just crashes when opening.
\\edit\\ I seem to have located the problem, it's in the library files. If I re-install iTunes without my library, it works fine (though there is no music in it, yet). As soon as I import my library, or replace the My Music\iTunes folder with the old one, it stops working.

Hi. I iMac, Mac OS X 10.6.8 Lately it does not update the program. Writes the following: "Unable to install the update iTunes. An unexpected error occurred." What you need to do that right, that programs can be updated again?

When I attempt to re-download Lion to my MacBook Air I get the following error: localhost Install Mac OS Lion[436]: Retrying pisa://1183a0570:::/InstallESD.dmg after 1 failure(s). I am trying to re-install the OS after erasing having erased the drive.

I had the exact same issue; Lion recovery from Command + R would hang with the logs showing the same message. To resolve, I used Disk Utility to remove the recovery partition. My Air then used Internet Recovery to load all the tools. When using Reinstall via Internet it worked just fine.

Hi sjpop,
To try and resolve the issue, please remove all of the ink tanks and print head from the printer, then ensure that the ink tanks are re-installed in the printer in the following order:
CLI-226BK (Black)
CLI-226M (Magenta)
CLI-226C (Cyan)
PGI-225BGBK (Black)
CLI-226Y (Yellow)
Once this has been completed, please turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and leave it out for at least 10 minutes, then plug it back in and turn it back on. If the error continues, the printer will require servicing. Please click on the Contact Us link below to obtain your servicing options.

Cannot access address book following archive and install

Following an archive and install with 10.5.8 I find that when attempting to access Address Book, Font Book, Text Edit and Time Machine I get the following admonition on the screen, " You can't open the application because it is not supported on this architecture."
How can I restore these applications?

Sdgardne, thank you so much! Using your post and links I was able to restore my address book after upgrading my software and having trouble with my address book. And I am very technologically challenged so I appreciate having something I could understand and follow.

Upon downloading Itune Update 11. the following appears Updte install

Upon downloading the update to Iturn 11...the following appears Microsoft VisuMicrosoft visual C runtime library R6034 An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly Please contact the application's support team for more information. After this appeared the installed and operating Itune no longer loads Is there a solution Please help

Thanks for the info. It seems like that's the way most people are doing it but I just loaded all my songs into iTunes a few days ago and wonder if I have deauthorized the computer and then reloaded them on again from my external hard drive. I just bought this brand new and first iTunes glitch so definitely not a computer problem. I also wonder if I go to the iTunes site if this is going to layer over the existing iTunes because instead of updating your installing the installation from scratch again whether it put double the junk on your computer. Might just sit this one out until the next update. I have a feeling something wasn't right with it and they removed the update, at least that's what I heard.

"Lost" library following Archive and Install

After various Leopard crashing issues, it was necessary for me to re-install Leopard on my G5 Imac. I used the “Archive and Install” option but, for reasons I don’t understand, I wasn’t able to use the “Preserve Users and Network Settings”.
After re-installing iLife 08, I’ve now lost my iPhoto and iTunes libraries. Whilst I did back-up both libraries to an external hard drive, the last back up was back in November so I would like to recover the newer photos. I have searched through the “Previous System” folder and have found an “iPhoto Library” file. This is 8Gb big so, presumably, it contains all my photos. I don’t know how to restore the library back into iPhoto, however.
The thing I don’t understand is that this “iPhoto Library” seems to be a single file rather than a folder that you can drill down into and locate all the photos (as it is on my external drive following my manual back-up). Please tell me it’s possible to restore the library (and all albums, events etc) from this single file!
All help gladly received.

Pilgrim Tim
With iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is now a Unix Style Package File. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
I have searched through the “Previous System” folder and have found an “iPhoto Library” file.
Drag it to your PICTURES folder and launch iPhoto. That should find everything.
Please tell me it’s possible to restore the library (and all albums, events etc) from this single file!
You cannot return to the old iPhoto Library Folder system. Period. There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
