Help please updating from 9.04 to 9.1 system stalls

hi to all forum participants,
trying to update an 233 Mhz Imac from 9.04 to 9.1 always produces the same reaction. installation starts, tells me to expect a friendly 8 minutes to finish the update but after 3 or 4 minutes the system freezes up and no progress even after long time waiting.
The main cause for the update is that the old HD didnt boot any more -blinking question mark- and replacing it with the original 4GB HD which had 9.0 on it didnt show the external USB HD. Someone told me that USB support is easy only from 9.1 or better 9.2 on. So trying to update to 9.1 seemed to be the remedy but still hooked up.
Every help welcome
imac Mac OS 9.0.x

Hi, AKG8R -
There was a basic change in Language Kit versions between OS 9.0.4 and OS 9.1 - OS 9.1 is incapable of working with older versions, and since the download updater does not include any Language Kits, it will refuse to install of an older version of a Language Kit is present. Since an OS 9.1 Install CD does include Language Kits, it can replace older versions with newer ones.
There are two solutions that will allow you to use an OS 9.1 download update -
(1) Use a full-install OS 9.0.4 Install CD to remove (uninstall) any language kits.
(2) Remove the Language Kits manually. To do this, open the System file (that's the file [kind = suitcase] named System located loose in the System Folder) - just double-click it. Inside you will find three kinds of files -
• sound files (icon = document with the glyph of a speaker on it);
• keyboard layout files (icon = document with the glyph of a keyboard on it);
• Worldscript files (icon = document with the glyph of a globe on it)
Remove all the Worldscript files to the desktop, or to a folder external to the System Folder.
Restart. You should then be able to use the OS 9.1 download update. Be sure to use the language version of the update that matches the base language version of your OS 9.0.4.
In either case, once you have updated to OS 9.1 using the OS 9.1 download update you will not have the use of any Language Kits - you can not install the older versions and have them work (doing that may kill the OS).
However, you can install the correct versions later on, using any OS 9.1 or later version Install CD. This includes using a model-specific OS 9.1 (or later) Software Install CD, since you do not need to run the OS installer in order to install the Language Kits. It does not include using a Software Restore CD.
To do that, while booted to OS 9.1 insert the OS 9.1 (or later) Install CD. Open the folder named Software Installers. Locate the folder in that named Language Kits, and open it. Inside that folder will be an installer file named Install Language Kits - double-click that file, and follow the prompts to install the Language Kits of your choosing.

Please help -installed update from itunes wiped my phone

I just installed an update on itunes and it must have done some sort of factory reset as it wiped everything including my contacts from my phone. I plugged it in again to see if it could install a back up and I can't find anything. Also, it started 'backing up' the new empty phone and asked me to register it.
Please help anyone- I had a lot of music and expensive aps on there not to mention contacts and diary entries. I never had problems with it before but this is an absolute nightmare.
Many thanks

Am really annoyed now- by the number of people viewing this thread this is clearly a big problem and yet nobody at Apple has bothered to help. I would much rather pick up the phone and speak to someone but can't because it's been 90 days since my purchase.
I have spent a lot of money on music and aps and it looks like Apple don't even care- it's a disgrace. I can now see what all the fuss is about in the media and why people are angry at them as well. I won't be buying any of their products again that's for sure.

Hi,
providing a link to your blog so someone could have a look at it would be more of help than providing an e-mail address (which you shouldn't do unless you want to get a lot of spam).

Help please: Update/restore iPhone 4

Hi all,
I just managed to solve the problem of iTunes store not showing up in iTunes (by removing and installing everything) only to run in to the next problem.
I have just got an iPhone 4.
I configured it (now that iTunes kindly show me the pages) and I see that there is a new update for my phone.
I download it and want to update it.
The update gets stuck in the middle. No responce from phone since yesterday.
I have tried to reset the phone, reboot PC etc. and when I now connect my iPhone, I get a pop up that the phone has to be restored. Okay, I do that, it downloads the update, prepare to install, everything looking fine... but it gets stuck in the middle of the update.
So, basically, phone not working, dead, update/restore gets stuck.
Im going on holiday on Friday and had planned everything to have my iPhone with me. I so regret that I updated the phone just now
System:
Windows XP, latest version of iTunes, all updates for windows installed, etc.
Tried closing down virus scanners, firewalls, etc, no luck, still stuck...
So if anyone could point me to some sollution I will be very happy.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Tried all this, no luck:
Turned off all USB devices, rebot -> restore -> frozen
Downloaded an earlier version of the update and try to do a shift/restore in iTunes. No luck.
Note:
The restore is 682 MB large file. This file it loaded the very first time I pressed the update button in iTunes.
Nothing more I can do really. Gona have to give it back and get a new. And no iPhone on the holiday meh..
PS: No, it is not jailbroken. it is brand new.

I need help please, upgrading from OS 10.6.8...

Please help me - I'm such a technophobe!! I need help upgrading from OS 10.6.8... I get part way through the process and get a box saying "The link needs to be opened with an application" and I don't know what to do next...

The only way to upgrade from 10.6.8 (which is high as Snow Leopard goes) is to obtain Lion or Mountain Lion from the Online Apple Store or Yosemite from the Mac App Store.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
Lion is available in the Online Apple Store ($19.99). Mountain Lion (10.8.x) is also available there at the same price (though it's reported to have been removed from sale in some countries so may well cease to be available generally) but there seems little point as the system requirements are the same for Yosemite (10.10.x) - which is free - unless you need to run specific software which will run on Mountain Lion only. Mavericks (10.9.x) is no longer available.
The requirements for Mountain Lion and Yosemite are:
OS X v10.6.8 or later
2GB of memory
8GB of available space
and the supported models are:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Yosemite is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). Mountain Lion can be obtained the Online Apple Store.
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table

Help please - Updating .jar file and can't compile decompiled .java files.

Ok, so there is a game on the internet called 'runescape', its a java applet that runs in the web browser from a cache in the windows directory.
Basically im trying to edit this client so that i can run it away from their website (for use on a private server).
The problem i am getting is that when i decompile the class files from the .jar into the .java files i can't recompile the .java files.
E.G. I decompiled one of the .class files and tried to re-compile it agian straight away which brought me errors, i did this to rule out my editing as the problem.
The jar file can be found [here.|http://world80.runescape.com/loader_gl397188536.jar] but the link will no double be dead after a few weeks.
Can somebody please take a look and help me? I'm fairly new to java programming so if you could keep your answers as simple as possible that would be great, thanks.
Ps. If this is the wrong section im sorry, i couldn't find the right section and this section seemed closest for me.

i'm compiling using the javac command in a batch file, its displaying 100 errors but there are more, it seems to be showing that the syntax is incorrect as it is labeling brackets as being in the incorrect places.
Decompiling error?
As for being allowed to do this, im not so sure the company would approve but im only doing this for learning purposes and will not be releasing any of it upon the internet.

G3 iMAC Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

Upgrading is an individual thing involving various factors, the chief one today being expense. With a MacMini being available SO inexpensively, especially now that even a used market has developed on them, spending money to upgrade an old computer will still leave you with an "old" and probably much slower old computer, as the bus speeds have dramatically increased in the past few years, all other things being equal (RAM, HD space, OS), will still make a faster computer in a new(er) one.
If one likes to tinker with computers, then cost is not as much as factor as it is partly a "hobby," by definition not an economic matter.
If you have programs you like and work and you don't "need" newer versions and they run on your old computer presently, then there is something for leaving the status quo and simply get a second computer (say a MacMini) and use it for the newer stuff as it comes along and as your old stuff "breaks" (however, my MacPlus still has yet to break!)
Some models of Macs lend themselves to upgrading much more than others. In general, those which came with extra RAM slots, extra PCI slots, extra bays space for hard drives, CD burners, and had a few different built-in ports, are more worthwhile to upgrade and are easier to do. I would think, for example, an older iMac is more likely better left "as is" and to save for a newer Mac. A tower with pci slots available might be worth some inexpensive upgrades, such as an USB card to run a printer.
Finally, one needs to remember that a computer is just a tool, not a status symbol, so if it is useful as is, then let it be. If it is not useful as is, then the cost analysis for any replacement purchase kicks in: how much to "fix" versus buying "new" (or "newer" on eBay or from a reseller)?
The OS X issue is a separate problem: OS X is a completely different operating system fundamentally (UNIX) from the traditional MacOS up through 9.2.2. OS X's Classic Environment lets one load OS 9.x to run older traditional Mac programs (assuming THOSE programs themselves will work on OS 9.) Technology is moving so fast that the bottom edge of "current" is getting way way past what will WORK on the older Macs. This means at some point one needs to plan on getting a newer machine which will work on the internet things out there. Most system requirements these days specify high end Panther (10.3.9) or Tiger (10.4.x) bypassing completely the MacOS, OS X puma and jaguar. Processor speed is hovering as a minimum requirement aroung 500 mH often. RAM is around 256MB bare minimum, more recommended. Mac processors are more frequently specifying G4, G5, or Intel, leaving behind even the G3s (although that may be a case of them just not spending time and money to test on a G3 than a true mandatory requirement.) As Tiger is now a nicely mature version of OS X, it does like (require?) a much more powerful computer to work satisfactorily. Thus, your old computer may still work for years well on its contemporaneous setup, and at some point, one gets a newer computer to do the newer stuff, making for a smooth transition.

Need help: Debeating updating from 3GS to iPhone 4

Hello, all. I'm sure I'm not the first to have asked for help on this but I am debating upgrading from my iPhone 3GS (1 yr old this month) to the iPhone 4. I checked and I am eligible for the early upgrade so the cost for the 16GB is not much of an issue.
Here is my main concern: the network signal. In my house and in many other indoor locations, I am lucky to get 2 bars of AT&T service and most of the time have "Searching . . ." or "No Service" in that upper left corner. From what I understand, I am not the only one with this issue and it appears to be an issue with all iPhones across the AT&T network. I see that the iPhone 4 has a new antenna design that supposedly resolves this issue. Of course, the phone isn't out yet *but has there been any word on whether the signal is vastly better on the iPhone 4?*
I don't want to sign up for a new 2-year contract on a phone and have the same issues when I could just tough it out with my 3GS for another year or less until Apple FINALLY brings the iPhone to Verizon.
On a related note, does the early upgrade promotion only apply to pre-orders and/or to a small window of time after June 24th? I'd like to wait and see what new users think of the signal strength and antenna on the iPhone 4 before making that leap.
Any help you can give would be appreciated. Thanks!

From what I understand, I am not the only one with this issue and it appears to be an issue with all iPhones across the AT&T network.
This is not an issue with ALL iPhones - with each and every single iPhone sold to date in the U.S. across the entire AT&T network.
There isn't a single carrier that guarantees reception when inside any building or structure. CDMA networks and phones are somewhat better in this regard, but can have the same problem depending on the building structure along with other factors. Up until a year ago or so, I had a business phone with Verizon which I carried with my iPhone. Had 1-2 bars of reception with Verizon at my house and I had to step outside in the back or front yard to ensure a call wasn't dropped. The same at my former office - had 4-5 bars of reception but there was something about the the building structure that was not good with Verizon's CDMA network and/or with my phone. Verizon's old "can you hear me now" commercials were most appropriate since I was saying that a lot with Verizon.
Didn't have the problem at both locations with my iPhone and AT&T, so I ended up having my Verizon number forwarded to my iPhone.
I don't believe there has been any word on if reception is vastly better or if any better with the iPhone 4 and the new antenna design, but I seriously doubt it is worse. More than likely this will be an improvement, which may be vastly better for some, or only a little or marginally better for others with a number of various and varying factors that affect this.
I don't want to sign up for a new 2-year contract on a phone and have the same issues when I could just tough it out with my 3GS for another year or less until Apple FINALLY brings the iPhone to Verizon.
You can return the iPhone 4 for payment credit less a 10% restocking fee if the packaging is opened within 30 days of the purchase data and cancel the new two year contract within the same 30 days with no penalty.
I'll bet you dollars to donuts the iPhone will not be with Verizon. Chances are slim to none that Apple would manufacture a CDMA phone for a single carrier only along with all the additional expenses associated with that vs manufacturing a phone for a single network that is the worldwide standard with the iPhone currently available in 88 countries for that reason alone.

Urgent help please - iDVD from iLife 09 - Won't start normal, can't quit ..

All,
I was in the middle of a job and things were going fine. Incorporating some changes to template supplied. I really don't know what I did, but now I cannot exit iDVD. Each attempt to quit ends with a "unexpected end", and any start of iDVD starts with the last one there. I can drag and drop existing projects but can't start a new one. I've tried deleting prefs file - didn't help. I did the "boot the OS X install and fix permissions" ... still nothing. It just seems stuck with this inability to exit cleanly. Do I need to reinstall, if so, what's the best way? Should I delete the one I have and install from iLife '09 disk?
I'm right in the middle of trying to finish up a job.. Thanks in advance!!

Sounds like you have adequate boot volume space. What I would try first is to copy all video assets for iDvd to the boot volume since iDvd likes things where it can easily find them. Then I'd eject the 3rd party ext. HHD. Pro apps give you a bit more latitude in this regard but iDvd tends to be picky about what it will or will not use (at least when compared to apple's pro apps / DVDSP).
Btw, you did properly format the ext. firewire HDD with apple's disc utility, did you not?
Message was edited by: SDMacuser
Location of the assets has never been a problem and isn't here (nor should it be, else Apple wouldn't give us the ability to put projects elsewhere) .
It can work with every bit of the asset if I drop the project file onto the dock icon. I also have and use Final Cut Studio Pro so I'm well aware of its capabilities. All drives, eSATA, FW800, and USB are formatted correctly for Intel based Mac.
I hooked up the backup system drive, copied the plist from there, and renames all the DVDPROJ files so iDVD could not find them. A bit Draconian, but so far it is letting me back in normally, and exit normally. I'll have to retrace the steps, but as long as it holds hopefully I won't hit it again.
Interestingly, after my first attempt at deleting the prefs file, iDVD did not generate a new one, which was odd. So hopefully I'm back to a solid starting point.
On a side note, is there ANYWAY at all to add additional font sizes to the drop down list for text? I know in earlier versions there were sliders that allowed for font sizes to be changed. There are a few places on this project (4:3) where I'd like to keep things in bounds for SD NTSC output, but have text a bit larger.
Thanks again...

Bold 9900 - help please, upgrading from 8520 perhaps

Hi all
I have the 8520, and in the new year perhaps upgrading to the Bold 9900.
On my 8520 I use the side button every day, to jump straight to the Instant Messaging folder, to use BBM and WhatsApp.
I see the 9900 does not have that. Is there any way on this phone you can setup shortcuts like that?
Is the keyboard as good as the 8520, or better, or about the same?
Any help would be appreciated, as "real world reviews" are better than what the shop tells you.

Help Please, Linking from a swf in a Scrollpane to positions on the main timeline

I have a scrollpane where I have loaded a swf of many small images that are set up as buttons.
How do I create the link between this swf/actionscript to the main fla/timeline that the scrollpane is contained in?
Thanks

Buttons function with eventListeners, if they are actual button symbols then you should have an unique instance name, otherwise convert them to symbols and name the instances, if they are symbols and named then you can code them to do whatever you want.
Add an event listener and function call for each button in the actionscirpt of the swf and provide the targets of the frame, anchor, or label for the event in the function.
img1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, img1Handler);
img2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, img2Handler);
img3_btn. etc...
function img1Handler(event:MouseEvent):void
     //go to and stop on the frame to display
     //you can also use frame labels or anchors
     // gotoAndStop("label");
     gotoAndStop(2);
function img2Handler(event:MouseEvent):void
     //if you put the images in scene 2 for example then call the Scene the frame is in.
     // in this case for example, frame 3, Scene 1
     gotoAndStop(3, "Scene 1");
Duplicate for each button/img.
Have fun.
