G4 with OS9 and OSX - HELP!!!

Hello, I have a G4 Powermac which has been running 10.4.11 for some time now.
Since this is a dual boot machine, it has been connected to an older drum scanner for several years (this scanner ONLY works in OS9). I haven't had to boot this machine in 9 for about a year, but I had to yesterday and now it will not BOOT UP AT ALL. I tried booting with the shift key to no avail. I booted up from the system disk, ran apple HW test which found no HW issues. at the moment, the machine has a blank blue screen. any ideas??!!

Hi! Try booting with the option key down and select the OS you want from the icon that come up in the bootloader. It's slow so be patient until it's ready for you to select the correct volume you want to startup from. Alternatively the "x" key down at startup forces an OSX boot if a valid OSX system is found.

What's physically different in the way OS9 and OSX displays?

I used to have an iMac G4 (at work, in the USA) delivered with OS9 and OSX. Looking at the display under OSX made me tired and nervous, whereas using it under OS9 did not! No joke. (I find OSX a very good system and have no psychological bareer; it must be something physically different. What is it?)
Now I'm using a newer iMac delivered with OSX only and am suffering. I do not have that problem when looking at the LCD screen of another DELL PC at work or at a Thinkpad. However, with CRT-monitors I can easily distinguish if it runs at 72 Hz (=torture) or 85 Hz (O.K.).
If anyone could at least explain me the phenomenon with the iMac LCD, I'd be grateful...

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You may just need to calibrate your display's color
profile. Apple menu -> System Preferences ->
Displays.
This helps a bit but does not seem to solve the basic problem. Too bad I can't run OS9 on the same machine and adjust the color profiles under both systems so it looks similar, and then compare how it feels to work with both systems...

I have my iMac G3 set up with three partitions like you are proposing.
I'd recommend getting virtual box on your new Mac. You can install the latest Linux version easier this way.
The problem is finding a PPC distro you like. I forget how I configured the Linux boot manager, yaboot. I may have skipped it or had it installed in the linux partition.

The Ubuntu folks stopped supporting the power PC a while back. You will have to install an older version of Ubuntu.
You may to modify xorg.conf. See:

External hard drive format for use in both OS9 and OSX

I have never use OS9. A friend of mine wants to transfer their files from an OS9 computer to an OSX computer. Is there a hard drive format that can be used on both OS9 and OSX. It would be great to be able to transfer the files over on my Firewire hard drive.
Many thanks,
Beaglebrain.

Beaglebrain,
Should have added that you should check the size of your HD. OS9 won't recognise anything beyond about 190GB.

PDF with notes and markup help!

I have a shiny new iPad
I have some contracts and bids in PDF format with notes and highlights marked up on them with preview on my Mac book pro.
The PDF files are saved in my iDisk
I can open them on any of my Mac computers and the notes remain intact.
When I open them on the iPad no notes appear.
I have tried email to iPad
I have tried iDisk app
I have tried goodreader
I have pages but can't figure out if that will work
This is a real deal buster. I have a walk through with an architect tomorrow to go over contracts and bids and I thought this would be a great way to walk through the project with my notes and not have to carry the laptop.
is there any way to preserve and read the notes and markup I do in Mac Preview on the iPad?
I am willing to buy an app but none of them mention this and the ones I have tried so far do not address the issue.
Please help!

I have pages but can't figure out if that will work
Pages is a word processor, not a pdf reader.
I am willing to buy an app but none of them mention this and the ones I have tried so far do not address the issue.
I don't see any way to do what you want unless you can find an app for it. Best to list the ones you have already tried so people don't uselessly suggest them to you again, and plan to use your laptop.

MS Access Drivers with CF8 and OSX

I have working MS Access data source - files working with dev
ed. CF8 on XP. I just installed dev ed. of CF8 on OSX.
I don't see any available drivers for MS Access on OSX ....
is this possible to setup?
Can you download and install the drivers somehow?
Also - is there a way to setup MS Access data sources that
are already on my web site so the production files can be accessed
directly from CF8 dev? If so - How?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Does anyone know if this will work with VBA?
- Nope. There are only two SDKs shipping with CR 2008 and later; .NET and Java
I am fairly sure that the .Net SDK files are COM-visible so that they could be referenced by a VBA app...
- Perhaps. However, not supported. See the supported platforms documentation;

To Partition or Not to Partition - OS9 and OSX 10.3.9

Hi Guys
I just replaced my old G4 internal hard drive with a new Scorpio Black SATA 500 gig 7200 rpm SATA and a Firm Tech PCI card.
My old drive had 2 partitions, the large one for OSX 10.3.9 and the smaller one for OS 9.2, which I don't use anymore.
I tried to partition my new WD drive giving OS 9.2 only 20 gigs, and the rest to OSX 10.3.9. Well this new WD drive wouldn't let me give only 20 gigs to OS 9.2. It kept changing itself to 37 gigs. That's way to much space for just the few things I have stored on it.
So, with that in mind, I only made 1 whole partition formatted to OS Extended Journaled. If I need to run OS 9, will I still be able to even though the drive is not formatted to OS Extended? What problems would I have, if any?
Or do I need to partition these 2 operating systems? If so, is there a way to override that 37 gig minimum on the WD drive. By the way, that new WD drive will be my master drive.
As always, thanks for your help.
Best,
Anneit

Hi Tom
Thank you for your response.
You can have OS 9 on the same HD or partition as OS X without any problems.
That's good. Thank you.
What model G4 do you have?
Here is my G4 model:
Hardware Overview:
Machine Model: Power Mac G4
CPU Type: PowerPC G4 (2.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 867 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 256 KB
L3 Cache (per CPU): 2 MB
Memory: 1.5 GB
Bus Speed: 133 MHz
Boot ROM Version: 4.2.5f1
Serial Number: XB136*KSK
Sales Order Number: M8*LL/A
Now I'm have a huge problem. It looks like a have a kernel panic. When I start up I get a little question mark for a couple of seconds, then I get the smily face but then I get a kernel panic. Yick!
Here's what I had done before this happend:
- While my old hard drive was still in my G4, I cloned it to my new drive, the Western Digital SATA with the PCI card attached to it, using super duper.
- So then, I removed my old drive.
It is my understanding that the black end of the grey drive cable is for a master drive, and the 2 grey ends are for slave drives. Correct? So now the black end is not connected to the new drive. (It doesn't fit anyway.) I just assumed that the PCI card is taking care of this. However, I could be wrong.
I checked the top of the new drive and it said "Master/Slave Jumper Not Required for SATA". So how does it know that the new drive is a master. Could that be the problem?
Could the problem be that it doesn't see a master drive? Am I missing something?
By the way, I have 2 other Internal Western Digital drives also in my machine. They have been working just fine.
Please help.
Best,
Anneita

We are fellow users here on these public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support - I've asked the hosts to remove your email addresses and password from your post. If that is your current password that you've posted for everyone to see then you should change it IMMEDIATELY.
I'm not sure that I understand all of your post. By 'google' do you mean your gmail email accounts ? If you do then how are you trying to access your email, via the Mail app and/or another app on your phone, the Mail program or a browser on your Mac ? If you are using the Mail app on your phone and you've checked your email account's password then you should be able to add that new password on your phone by tapping on the email account in Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, then tap on the 'account' at the top of the next screen, and you should then be able to enter the new password. If you are using the Facebook app on your iPhone, and you've changed the password for logging into Facebook, then you should be able to update it on your phone via Settings > Facebook
If you are using the Mail app on your Mac, then to change your gmail password in it (assuming that you've changed the password for it) then go into Mail > Preferences (command-comma), select the Accounts tab on the preferences, select the gmail account on the list of accounts, and on the right-hand side of that screen you should be able to update its password.
If the problems are on your Mac then you might be better off re-posting in one of the other forums (e.g. Safari, and there are forums for various Mac OS X versions), and there is also a Using iPhone forum - this forum is for the iTunes Store e.g. buying, downloading content from iTunes.

Airplane help with Webhelp and HTML Help

Hi. We are generating 2 outputs using Robohelp v.6.0: HTML
Help and WebHelp. Standalone they both work fine. The context
sensitive .chm works too. Problems are:
1.) the primary help (Webhelp) does not appear - there isn't
any error msg either.
2.) when an invalid url is used the secondary help file does
appear (HTML help). But this doesn't happen with the correct url of
the primary help - Webhelp
Isn't there supposed to be a reference to the mapping in the
<head> of each htm file?
Can anyone help on this topic? many thanks!

First, move the styles from the form generator to the <head> of your document. Otherwise there is a possibility browsers could ignore the invalid code.
Then move your form div inside the banner div and set the attribute float:right; in your CSS for the form div. Then you should be good to go.

Stuck with problems and no help

hi,
We are stuck with the following set of problems. Repeated entries to this forum have not fetced any response. If anybody can help us on any of these issues, please reply -
1. We are not able to define any custom validator. We made our own validator that extends CompareValidor, but when we try to apply this rule to an attribute in the validation tab, we get the error - "no properties defined". Do i need to do something else besides creating a new class that extends CompareValidator and then writing my own code in the vlaidate method.
2. While deploying our jspApplication on java web server, we are getting the message "error - null". The details are as mentioned in the Topic 'can anyone help!!!' that has been posted by Prabhdeep ().
3. I have two tables, Customer and address. There is no FK between them (there cannot be because address is shared between many entities). In the address, i have 2 fields, BpType and BpId. BpType will contain 'C' to identity that this address is for a customer and id will have the customer id. In jdev 3.1, i have created entity and view objects for the 2 tables. also, i have made a view link. i need to put the condition Address.bpid = customer.customeid and address.bptype = 'c'. but it is not letting me put the second part of the condition. the chk on id works fine. as soon as i add a chk on type and test the application module, then while insertion of address i get the following error - "set method for BpType cannot be resolved".
4. I have made a jsp appl based on bc4j. now, i need to put a check on any entity in such a manner that if the check fails, my jsp should ask the user that an exception is occuring and does he want to save even with the exceptional data. if he says yes, i want that the same entity should now save the data without giving an exception. How do i achieve this interaction between my entity and my jsp.
Thanks a lot for any help,
Aparna.

I will answer Question #3:
I'm not sure if I understand exactly what is
happening. At first I thought you meant that you couldn't even add the second part of the association clause. But, later it sounds like you were able to add the second part of the clause (namely "address.bptype =
'c'") and that you are experiencing some runtime error.
Assuming the latter (that it is a RT problem), I take it this
"...cannot be resolved" error is the error with code 27020.
Under normal error conditions, you shouldn't get this error. Something "unusual" (or unforeseen by us) is happening if you are getting this error. Anyway, if you wrote your own client code, you should wrap a try/catch block around it, pick out the detail exception, and see what's going
on. See the example code below:
try
... make call that causes the exception ...
catch(oracle.jbo.AttrSetValException ex)
// Print stack trace for the outer ex
ex.printStackTrace();
// Get the inner exception
Object[] details = ex.getDetails();
if (details.length > 0)
Exception innerEx = (Exception) details[0];
// Now, print the inner exception's
// stack.
innerEx.printStackTrace();
This will help shed some light on the exception and the cause of it.

Thanks you all!
You have spotted that mistyped.
However, turns out Internet Browser that I have does not permit the use of XSL. After I fixed the file, I got this

Oh well...
Anybody knows, if IE can or can not be used to view the
XML that reference XSL??

Preview will not let me annotate document with text and save - HELP!

I have to provide a JPG document to a client that they need to annotate with text in Preview. However, Preview will not allow either of us to save this document once it is annotated, even though I created the JPG through an exported Illustrator File (and therefore have rights to the document).
I have talked to many other people that have annotated documents with text in Preview & save the document without problems, so I have not been able to receive any helpful information to correct this issue.
... Or are there any other suggestions of programs that my client can open the JPG in and annotate with text? She also has a MacBook Pro and would be willing to download a program if it was reasonably priced/free.
Please help!

Netgear WGR614v6 Problems with Ebay and others-Help!!

Just put in a Netgear WGR614v6 router and I can connect to the internet thru my 2-wire DSL modem (non-gateway1070-b).
First issue was that any email I sent out-bound from Mac Mail that had an attachment would just sit in my outbox, I then disabled the SPI firewall on the Netgear router and all worked fine.
The I went on to do further testing and found out that I can launch into ebay and ebay will only let me do one sign/in and or search then I will get a 'THE CONNECTION WAS RESET" page saying that "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
Also when I access my SBC/Yahoo email thru the web, I can log onto my account and read my first or any one message, but then when I go to view a second the same thing happens as with ebay.
Anybody have any ideas as to what is going on.. is this a port 25 thing? All works fine when connected directly to the DSL modem.
Thanks in adavnace for any help you may have.

Figured it out, had to bridge by DSL modem and use the router as my DHCP server. All is working fine now.

Syncing problems with Itunes and Ipod Help?

Okay..I don't even know what's been happening with the newest Ios 5 update for apple products, but since the update, my ipod hasn't been able to synch with Itunes.
For example, I manually organize all my music and when I edit the album artist or the album artwork etc, it would show up in Itunes perfectly, but on the Itouch, nothing has been changed. This means that not only does it now show the album artwork that I set up in Itunes, but also all the artists as well. I've seen many people so far having this problem, but through all the solutions people have said, none have worked for me. Another problem is that it also mix and matches all the songs I have downloaded as well. Only the songs I purchase seem to be alright.
I have tried many things from restoring my Itouch and re-downloading music, manually re-synching my Itouch to see if the artists will show up, but to no avail, it hasn't worked.
Please help me. It's getting quite frustrating that nothing is synching since the newest ios 5.1.1 update. Thank you

The ipod touch will only sync to one computer at a time. If you sync to another it will indeed erase the content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer.
Sign into your account on the computer, make sure it is authorized, then connect the ipod:

Networking OS9 and OSX

I have an old PM6400 running OS9 (upgrade card to a G3-400) and a PM G4 Dual 1 gig running 10.4.8 connected via airport (ethernet port on G4 using a DSL modem), base station connected to the ethernet port on the PM6400, airport card in the G4. I can connect to the G3 from the G4 and share files but haven't been able to get connecte the other way around. I can "see" the G4, but get a message "connection broken" immediately upon trying to log in (I actually get that message every time, even if I put in the wrong password). I am thinking it's an airport setting issue on the G4, but can't track it down. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Steven Roach

Seemed to work it out. Am still interested in suggestions on using the printer connected to the G4, haven't been able to find it from the G3, or use the internet connection through the G4. Is there a trick to this?
