How do I get OS 9 to install when it claims "software is not supported"?

Hello all.
I have an iMac running OS X v10.4.11. I have Mac OS 9 Install discs from my iBook G3. When I try to restart using the disc, it won't bring me to the install menu. I hold down C and everything. The disc's info is accessible but has the white circle with the slash through it on the install icon. When I bought this computer I transferred all data and programs from the G3, which had OS classic and OS X. I didn't mind not being able to access older programs b/c all the new ones worked much better. However, I have a A3 Mustek scanner that will only work with Photoshop 5.0 and I need to run OS classic in order to install Photoshop. Any thoughts?

In addition, even if your Intel Mac could run OS 9 in classic mode, you can't use the install system discs from one model Mac on another model Mac.
 Cheers, Tom

  • Imac won't let me install Final cut studio 2..it will let me install the upgrade, but it has no live type and i need it to work on my current projects. How do I get Live type back installed in iMac

    I just purchased an iMac for home and went to install final cut studio 2 and it gave me an error saying something about "PowerPC" not used or something like that. Installed the studio upgrade just fine...but it has no "Live Type" which I need to work on projects I have been using in my Mac Pro at my work place. How do I get "Live Type" to install in this iMac? Downloaded Live Type upgrade but that won't update cause there's no "Live Type" in the applications.

    It sounds like you have Lion installed on your new imac, although your profile says SL 10.6.8 (you may want to change this.)
    If you have the Snow Leopard install disc I believe you can install "Rosetta" from the extras folder which will then, if you have the original FCS2 discs , allow you to select and install Live Type and LIve Type content only from the custom install options.
    I hope this will work for you.

  • How do I get administrative priveleges to install optional plug-ins for cs5

    how do I get administrative priveleges to install optional plug-ins for cs5 and or how to install these optional plugins thanks

    To add to Mylenium's reply, here's how to do it on Windows and this is what microsoft website says:
    Why do I have to be an administrator to install a program?
    Only administrators can make changes that will affect everyone who uses the computer, such as installing software and hardware and changing security settings.
    If the program you are trying to install or run says you  must have administrator rights, but you are already an administrator on the computer, right-click the installation icon for the program, and then click Run as administrator. If you're prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    If the program installs but does not run, right-click the program icon, click Properties, click the Compatibility tab, select the Run this program as an administrator check box, and then try to run the program.

  • How can I get Flash Player and install it?

    I29/Aug/2010 17:37
    TO: Adobe Forum
    I am running Windows XP Home, and using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.8 as my browser.
    When I go to download and install the latest version of Flash Player, the ONLY option I get is to quit. In other words, I cannot download and install Flash Player. This even occurs at Adobe's own website.
    How can I get Flash Player and install it?
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely,
    Barry Karas

    First, you can manually download the installer here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
    Second. On both my Mac (OS 10.6.4) and My PC (Vista Home Premium) I have had nothing but trouble with Firefox 3.6.8 and Flash player, Flash apps and Flash sites that require access to web cam or microphone or both.
    The last time Flash Player worked well with Firefox was 3.6.4, but I uninstalled 3.6.8 and went all the way back to 3.0 on both systems.
    Just a heads up. If you download the manual installer, and it still doesn't work, it ISN'T the Flash Player. It's Firefox. IE, Opera and Safari all work with it.
    Go to oldversion.com and get an older build of Firefox, uninstall 3.6.8, install the older one, go to Tools, and Options and turn off automatic checking for updates, so it doesn't try to take you back the the 3.6.8 "busted @$$ joint" that doesn't work worth poo.
    Maybe when they release 3.7, Firefox will have their act together with Adobe and Flash Player.

    I can not get ny updates and therefore not use Java, as it only run updates for MAC 10.7. and later. How do i get the updates to install and use JAVA ?

    In Snow Leopard you update Java from Software Update (in the Apple menu). You can check your version by opening Terminal and typing
    java -version
    (don't get creative and type anything else)
    The latest version is 1.6.0_65.

    Hello to all
    another option is to download and install the portable firefox version from the next link, if you want to use it occasionally : http://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Mozilla%20Firefox%2C%20Portable%20Ed./
    portable version is more flexible, and you can delete it any time without worries
    please read the [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2249039 ultimate guide from '''the-edmeister''']

  • I recently had my cracked iPhone 4 screen fixed, the lady who did it told me my light sensor was broken.. How can I get a new one installed??

    I recently had my cracked iPhone 4 screen fixed, the lady who did it told me my light sensor was broken.. How can I get a new one installed?? i noticed there was something wrong when I talk on the phone it will mute, hold or speaker the calls. It's very annoying how can I fix the light sensor

    Was your cracked screen fixed by an Authorized Apple Service Provider?  I may be wrong, but I didn't think they fixed such things.
    Regardless of who fixed it, and whether it was an authorized repair or not, I recommend bringing it back to the agency that fixed it in the first place.  But note if the repairing agency is not authorized by Apple, you may not want to spend much more money on repairs there for this unit.

    Yep! And if you absolutely need (or think you need) that functionality, it is worth every penny.
    As Don already pointed out, exactly what the recipient sees will depend on how they've set up their machine and what unnecessary 3rd party apps they might've installed to display attachments the way they want.
    In theory, that is true. In practice, Attachment Tamer will cause more of your messages to show up as plain-jane icons on the other end. The problem is, after all, people running Outlook 2003 and 2007. These people likely aren't doing many system modifications.
    If I were you, I'd use the free solutions provided above, save my money and let my recipients decide how they will handle their mail.
    I completely agree.

  • How can I get rid of app upgrades, when I no longer have the app?

    How can I get rid of app upgrades , when I no longer have those particular apps?

    If the app is no longer installed on the iPad then you should get prompts about updates to it in the App Store app - as efectively there is nothing for it to update. If you are being prompted to download updates to them then are you sure that they are no longer on the iPad ?
    If you are being prompted on your computer's iTunes then if you delete them for the App part of you computer's Library then you shouldn't be prompted about them.

  • HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

    Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.
