Help to upgrade to Mac OS X From Mac OS 9.2.2

Hi Mac World
Some years ago I parched from then the company (XLR8) an upgrade MACh Speed G4z w/MVP™ CPU ZIF 500 MHz Doughtercard for my Mac Blue and White G3 OS9 to upgrade it to a G4 with the same OS9. (Now upgraded to OS 9.2.2).
Now I would like to upgrade to Mac OSX and need some help.
I am still running my Blue and White Mac OS 9.2.2 G4 500 MHz with 100 GB hard drive and one GB memory with a CD not a DVD Drive.
Is it possible to run Mac OS X on my system? And what Mac OS do you suggest Panther / Tiger
Rayric

Hi rayric,
your computer is compatible with 10.4 "Tiger". However, you should check about the compatibility of your processor upgrade card: User Reports Database on Macintosh CPU Upgrades.
Before you upgrade you will have to get the Tiger install CDs through the Media Exchange Program.
Then make sure you upgrade your firmware: Mac OS X: Chart of Available Firmware Updates
Be aware that your computer is quite slow and the experience will be limited. Some features of MacOS X (both 10.3 and 10.4) will not be available (e.g. Quartz Extreme).

Mountain Lion is the best OS yet, IMHO.

Upgrade to os x mavericks from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)

I have been trying to upgrade to os x mavericks from Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) and I meet the requirements but it will download and then pop up with the application could not be downloaded Hash mismatch

Keep trying since that sounds like a server error. Be sure to do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions - Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.

Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro

Standalone Projector won't work on a Mac when output from Mac Flash 8 Pro
I'm outputting a Mac projector file that will work on my mac computer. However, when I upload it to FTP and download it my mac or another mac, it won't work! What's going on? I've tried adding ".app" to my file and it still won't work. Help!
Here's my set up: Flash 8 Pro on Mac Intel with Mac OS 10.4.11

Hi,
Does it work if you .zip up the projector and FTP the .zip and then unzip the projector on the other Mac's? A projector is basically an application. Applications in Mac's have package contents and resource bundles. When copying files over the network on Mac's, symbolic links inside the package contents and bundles can get messed up.
Thanks,

Looking for help for sharing pdf files with ipad from mac. Pages only recognizes text. What app should I use for file sharing pdf documents?

Looking for advice on how to share pdf files with iPad from Mac. Pages seems to only recognize text. What app is recommended for pdf documents?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities!
If I understand your question, you want to read pdfs on your iPad, not create or edit.
Drag pdf files to the iPad icon in Finder while connected to your computer via the USB cable.
They will show up in the iBooks application
(If you don't already have iBooks, it's a free download from the App Store.)
Once installed, there are two buttons at the top left of the Bookshelf.
One is Books, the other is Collections.
Tap Collections, and you'll see Books and PDFs.
Tap PDFs and you're there.

Upgrade to Mac OS X from Mac OS 9.2.2

Hi Mac World Rayric again,
Still have no joy loading my Mac OS X Disk which was given to me by a friend.
My new Question:

Does this help?

Rayric,
According to the DayStar website, to install OSX (10.2, 10.3 or 10.4) with your card installed, you need XPostFacto software. From what I can remember, this is a free download. You may have to search out a set of detailed instructions for installing OSX using this software. Google is your friend.
Personally, with a GB of RAM, you could run 10.3 or 10.4. The 500MHz G4 might start to "not be so zippy" with 10.4 tho', remember the Quad 2.7GHz G5's and Intel DuoCores probably have 15-20x the CPU grunt of your upgrade.
I found 10.3 faster than OS9.2.2 on my 500MHz PBG4.
Fingers crossed that you have top quality memory, OSX throws a wobbly if the memory installed is not up to speed. Then be prepared to spend a few years (and a lot of money) upgrading all your apps and learning how to use them effectively.
What about your video card ? There's a lot of graphics gimmicks in 10.4 that might just be too much for an 8Mb or 16Mb card.

Help Needed :- Upgrading to Windows 8.1 from Windows 8 on W540

I have tried repeatidly to upgrade to Windows 81 from windows 8 and it fails I get the driver power state failure error and error codes 0xc1900101 0x40017 .
After 4 failures , i deleted drivers for Prinfing (pdf / printer drivers etc ) and some others i didn't note tried to do the install and it worked, except the first time i rebooted after logging in , it would not boot into windows 8,1 driver it came up with the driver error messages again and i was given the option to reset to factory defaults and i did.

"I bought a ThinkCentre M83 which had a downgraded windows licence (windows 8.1 pro downgraded to windows 7 professional)." -
"... Now you want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 that was originally offered when you purchased the computer. The only way that I am aware of that would be possible is to purchase a retail version of the newer operating system. "
I would say either you did not understand it well / or you gave the wrong info. If Lenovo Think(Pad/Centre) has Windows 7 Pro downgrade preload (but Win 8 / 8.1 Pro licence):
- user gets media for Windows 8/8.1 Pro included with your Think(Pad/Centre) (I think until December)
- or now you must order it here (free if entitled)

HELP! Transferring 80gb of itunes folder from MAC to PC - how do I do it?

Have just bought a new PC (acer quad core running vista) having never owned one (due to necessity) and I can't figure out how to transfer my itunes folder over to it from my G4 runing 10.5.6. If anyone can help I would be ever so grateful. Thanks.

Easiest methods are external hard drive or over home network. Make sure external drive is formatted as FAT32.

Can ping from Windows to Mac but not from Mac to Windows

Hi all!
New owner of a Mac Mini. Know nothing about it, so NewBie Alert!
Windows PC with two NIC's. One connected to the internet, one connected to the Mac by using a crossover cable. Internet Connection Sharing on the Windows PC and the Mac can go out to the internet so there is connectivity between the Mac and the Windows PC.
The problem: I cannot ping the Windows PC from the Mac. I can ping the Mac from the Windows PC, so my suspicion is that it has something to do with a firewall on the Mac, but as far as i know the firewall on the Mac is switched off. On the Windows PC the firewall is definitely switched off.
Who can help me getting this working?
Thanks,
Ton.

There can be multiple problems here:
- no ping service provided on the Windows PC
- ping traffic blocked by a firewall at either end
- pinging the wrong host: You have two NICs in your Windows PC, with two IP addresses, and two host names. Only one of the two will be visible from the Mac. Use "ipconfig" at a command prompt to get the two IP addresses, or look at the Properties of your Network connections.
- Name resolution problem: Try using the IP address with the ping command, not a host name.
Ping from the Windows PC to the MAC, and observe the reported IP address. Make sure the IP address you use to ping from the Mac is in the same subnet, i.e. the first three numbers must be the same, like
192.168.1.100 vs. 192.168.1.101
What is the result of the ping operation, i.e. "host not reachable", "unknown host", or "no response".

Hello Canyonlight,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you were not able to log in to the Mac App Store to download applications on March 11th.
The iTunes Store services were experiencing issues at that time, which may have affected your attempts. You can see the system status for Apple services at this link:

Please try logging in again, if you haven't already. Feel free to reply and let us know if the issue continues.
All the best,

Shut down Acrobat and any Creative Cloud application before doing this procedure.
1    Rename caps folder.
          a. Using the Finder menu Go>Go to Folder.
          b. In the "Go to Folder" window put the following path: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/
          c. Rename the folder named "caps" at this location to something else (i.e. OLD_caps):
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
2    Install Acrobat from within the Creative Cloud application.
3    Rename new caps folder.
          a. Using the Finder menu Go>Go to Folder.
          b. In the "Go to Folder" window put the following path: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/
          c. Rename the folder named "caps" at this location to something else (i.e. NEW_caps):
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/caps
4 Rename the OLD_caps folder back to "caps"
5 Now you should be good.
*Note: The "caps" folder contains the files that the Creative Cloud application reads to show what IS and IS NOT installed.

.mac account disappears from Mac mail

Often I will go to my Mail app and the .Mac Account is no longer displayed. If I quit mail and reopen, it and its folders stored there at .Mac will be displayed.

My wife has a sub-account on our MM family pack subscription and had this issue: occasionally mail on her iPhone would appear briefly in the iPhone inbox, then disappear from the list. It never showed up in Mail.app at all. (I have the master account on this family pack and haven't had this issue… knock on wood.)
I was also a recipient on some of those mails -- but if I forwarded them to her she still didn't get them. I had to copy the text out of the messages and paste into a new mail. That worked. So it seems there's something in the mail header (perhaps?) that causes this… yet the mails have not all been from the same person / address. In fact, mail from person "A" might do this disappearing thing today, yet mail from the same person "A" might work fine tomorrow. It's that sort of multi-variable, intermittent problem that's very hard to pin down.
I tried changing her password -- to guarantee that only her known clients were logging in (no lurking POP mail readers that she'd forgotten about). No effect. Then I tried turning off her junk filters, both local and online at MobileMe (thinking maybe some rule was out of control -- deleting random messages, rather than filing them as junk). No effect (other than a lot of complaints from her about junk in her inbox, of course).
Finally, she suggested that maybe it had to do with MM push services -- since it only happens on the iPhone, not on her Mac. We turned off push on her iPhone and voila! It seems to have fixed the issue.
I haven't found anyone else who's connected this with data push on the iPhone. I'd be interested if other folks who try this as a solution would see if it works for them and post results here.

Photoshop CS6 v13 Mac/Win Go from Mac to PC

Hello,
I have a user who bought this software and used it on her Mac. She's now switching to a PC and wants to know if she'll need to buy a new version of Photoshop. I'm thinking yes, but wanted to make sure. Will anyone verify this for me? Thank you!

There is a license transfer process, but the cost is about the same as a version upgrade

Tell your client to treat herself, and get a CC subscription with the Photography plan.

Contacts sync from Google to Mac but not from Mac to Google... only one direction!

I initially synced google to my mac and it worked fine. I set up the sync in the mail app. Under contacts preferences, I picked the "on My Mac" and clicked sync with google.
Everything In google continues to sync to my mac. But if I add something to my contact book on the Imac, it doesn't go in the other direction.
I tried adding an exchange account... no better.
I tried adding a new CalDav google account in contacts... no better.
I am at my wits end. Can someone please suggest a solution?
Thank you.

I am going to give followup.
The problem was corruption of my brand new Imac 27. I went around and around with applecare and they finally figured out that my preferences were corrupted. Usuallly that can be fixed but they were unable. Basically, everytime I set the right connection to gmail up, it changed it...
Finally, I set up a new user account on my mac. I logged into that user and started all over again. Now everything works.
I spent hours and hours on this... I bought a mac because "It just works" No more fooling with the registry and spending forever in dread with tech support. OK, so Mac doesn't have a registry. It has libraries. I spent forever fixing it.. Felt just like my Windows experience. Hope this isn't a harbinger of things to come.

Going from .Mac to Comcast

Hi. When I bought our iMac almost 2 years ago I signed us up with Comcast as our isp. Each of us has his own email address with Comcast. Although I also have a Comcast email address, I chose to use my .Mac email address. Now I've decided to not re-new my .Mac account and need to switch email service from .Mac to my Comcast address. Since I am subscribed in so many places (including Discussions), is it possible to have my email go to my Comcast mail instead of my .Mac account? Thanks for any help.

Oh dear.
"I have problem in keeping my songs on iPOD when connecting to my new PC?"
Well a Mac formatted iPod cannot be read by a pc without the use of 3rd party software (such as XPlay2), and of course if you reformat the iPod for pc use, you'll lose the songs.
Do you still have access to the Mac, or are your songs on the iPod only?
