How can I make my clamshell boot from the CD-ROM

I have a Japanese version 300mhz tangerine clamshell with 160MB RAM and a 3gb hard drive. It ran well on OS 9.2 until yesterday when I decided to upgrade (erased old OS) to OS 10.2. The upgrade went smoothly (although took quite a while). After the upgrade, it detected software updates which I accepted and installed (took some time again). Again, the software update went well and I rebooted the machine. I was able to reboot successfully into OS 10.2. I then ran Monolingual 1.20 to remove all languages except U.S. English. Success! I recovered 325MB of disk space. I then tried running a downloaded Firefox .dmg file. It wouldn't run. I noticed the machine was acting funny. I could not shut down from the dropdown Apple logo, there were no dropdown options. So I just turned the machine off and then back on. That 's when the trouble started. I get the chime, I get the grey Apple logo and then the round progress meter. Then the screen switches to just a white background with no Apple logo but with the round progress meter still going and after a long while the round progress meter is stuck. The machine appears to be hung. I tried to boot from a 9.2 CD installer (by holding C key on boot up) but I could not. It goes straight to the grey Apple logo (OS X). Option key does not give me boot device options. Help!

Install the SSD, then boot OS X Internet Recovery by simultaneously holding the Command, Option, and R keys while starting the Mini.
You will see the following screen:
When the following screen appears, select Disk Utility.
Select the SSD, then the Erase tab. Next to "Format" select Mac OS X Extended (Journaled), give it a name, and click the Erase... button.
When it finishes, quit Disk Utility which will return to the above screen. Select Reinstall Mac OS X and choose your SSD. You will need the Apple ID you used to purchase Mountain Lion.
It may take a few hours to download and install all its components.

  • How can I make text slide in from the right?

    I'm really enjoying learning more with Captivate 6 and the community has been very helpful so far. I can't figure out how to get very simple text effects/transitions such as bringing text from the side of the frame to "slide" into place. This has been a text effect of every program for a decade, is this basic transition available in 6? I'm making a list on  a few screens and would very much like the text to simply slide in from the right.
    I'm about to just make a transparent png with the text to accomplish this for now considering it's my best bet. Any information would be handy. Thanks!

    Apparently if your resolution is too low or the workspace isn't allowing "space" for a full effects window to show up, the whole thing shows up blank and grey. How obnoxious! By closing my properties tab on the right (after many other fixes including making those pngs) it showed up.

  • How can I make a still photo from imovie

    How can I make a still photo from imovie?

    Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

  • How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

    How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
    They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
    I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

    The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

  • How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • HT1766 HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER?????

    HOW CAN I CHANGE MY BACKUP FOLDER FROM THE C DRIVE TO ANOTHER????? because my c drive in the windows computer gets filled and i need to back up my ipod to a portable hard disk.. bt i dont know how to do it.. plz help

    you can't change the backup folder as far as I know, but you can choose to move backups. The information you need can be found in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4946
    Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
    The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system.   Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press the Return key.
    Hope this helps

  • Can I make a bootable DVD from the Mavericks download. I would like to wipe my iMac and start over.

    Can I make a bootable DVD from the app store download of Mavericks. I wish to wipe my iMac clean and start over
    thanks in anticipation

    Well you can make a bootable dvd this way:
    After downloading the Install OS X Mavericks.app file from the Mac App Store, run these 12 commands in Terminal to create a Mavericks.iso file and then burn it to a dual layer DVD with Disk Utility. You may then boot up from it by holding the option key down and then install mavericks. This will not install a recovery partition. To do that, uncompress and run the script file https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/13872235/Musings/Recovery%20Partition%20Crea tor%203.7.zip
    hdiutil attach /Applications/Install\ OS\ X\ Mavericks.app/Contents/SharedSupport/InstallESD.dmg -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_app
    hdiutil convert /Volumes/install_app/BaseSystem.dmg -format UDSP -o /tmp/Mavericks
    hdiutil resize -size 8g /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage
    hdiutil attach /tmp/Mavericks.sparseimage -noverify -nobrowse -mountpoint /Volumes/install_build
    rm /Volumes/install_build/System/Installation/Packages
    cp -rp /Volumes/install_app/Packages /Volumes/install_build/System/Installation/
    hdiutil detach /Volumes/install_app
    hdiutil detach /Volumes/install_build

  • TS4293 How can I make iMovie to show me the AVCHD files importet by iPhoto?

    My iMovie 11 shows the videos from my iPhone importet by iPhoto, but not all the videos importet the same way from my camera. It works fine with the videos recorded in MP4 but not at all with the AVCHD. How can I make iMovie to show me the AVCHD files? iPhoto imports and shows the AVCHD fine. Also I could import the AVCHD files with iMovie but then they would be twice on my computer and use a  lot of space.
    thanks for your help

    Right now, iMovie won't edit AVCHD wrapped files. You have a few options:
    1. Import the videos with iMovie. Afterwards, you may add the imported movies to iPhoto if you want.
    2. Import the videos with another app. (Too numerous to mention.)
    3. Convert the videos with a third-party tool.
    4. Wait for a future version of iMovie that adds this capability.
