How do I remove OS 9 completely now that I am using Tiger exclusively?

I have updated all my software to OS X and don't boot Classic at all ... I just want to remove it and can't find anywhere that details what to do. I tried just removing the system folder, but was warned that it contained items in use ... can I just remove the files that say classic from these files and that's it? Why do I need both System and System folder files? I just want to clean up and get some free space wherever possible ...

You might get some permissions error by trying to delete the two folders.
In order to avoid this, first: open up the System Folder and trash all its contents.
Restart the computer. Trash the files that are in the Trash. Then, trash the actual System Folder and the folder Applications (Mac OS 9).
DO NOT mess with the folder titled System. This is Mac OS X and fooling around with it could render you with an unbootable system.

  • How do I remove music from iPhone 5 that was downloaded using Amazon Music Player?

    I uploaded my music files to the Amazon Cloud Player.  Then through the Amazon Cloud Player app, I downloaded songs directly to my iPhone so I could access them when offline.  I removed the app when I wasn't using it anymore but now can't delete the song files.  When I sync the phone with iTunes, the songs show up on iTunes but I can't play them or delete them.  No files are showing up when I try to delete through the Usage area of settings.

    YYou should see what Amazon clour player support site says oh how to remove sounds.

  • How do i remove itunes 7 completely??

    Just wondered how i can remove itunes 7 completely as it will not recognise my ipod while itunes 6 on my other laptop will pick up my ipod fine. Mind you my laptop wont notice the ipod either? could this be to do with what xp version it could be running??

    It might be your laptop's problem, not necessarily iTunes (although that's possible).
    Before we go back to iTunes 6, have you first tried going through these five steps?
    The Five R's
    Also, faulty or out of date USB drivers on your computer might be a possibility here:
    iPod not recognized properly by computer when USB drivers are not installed properly or are out of date
    EDIT: Here is a major possibility when an iPod is not recognized on a laptop, so go ahead and try this step first:
    iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB

  • How can I remove my old e-mail I no longer use  also it does not have my birth date correct how can I change it?

    How can I remove an old e-mail that I am no longer using?
    How can I correct my birthdate?

    If you have an email account that you want to delete, go to Settings>Mail, contacts, calendars>Email Account>Delete account.
    If you have on old Apple ID that keeps popping up when you update apps, that old ID will always be tied to those apps and you must continue to use that ID and password when you update those apps.
    If you want to completely sign out of that old account, and nothing on your iPad is still tied to it, go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores. Tap on the old ID and sign out. Then sign in with the new one
    For the incorrect birthday go to here.

  • How can I locate photos in PSE6 now that Bridge Home is discontinued?

    How can I locate photos in PSE6 now that Bridge Home is discontinued?  When dragging a photo from my Desktop to the PSE6 symbol in my Dock, PSE6 informs: "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file". Thus I am compelled to open this file with hundreds of photos on my Desktop, and here it's imposssible to find it because the thumbnails are so tiny.  Therefore much time is wasted in having to open them all one at a time in PSE6.  I did not have this problem with my Photoshop 7.

    Barbara,
    Your persistence in trying to find a solution has turned out beneficial!                                                                                                                                     It was in 2009, shortly after receiving my PSE6, that it informed me of Bridge Home now being discontinued.  So that was what compelled me into the tedious procedure described in my original thread.  Now, after having read your comment, I gave it a different try - I dragged a file with photos to the "BR". symbol in Dock, and to my surprise legible thumbnails opened in Bridge CS3 .
    The message saying that Bridge Home has been discontinued is no longer there, so my thought is that PS must have added to the program in the meantime.
    Thanks for your help.

    How do I remove pictures from my iPhone that can't be deleted?

    What pics?
    This is very vague.
    If you mean pics that you synced to your iphone form your computer, then delete them the same way. Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want to be on your iphone, sync.

  • How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone

    How can I remove music from my iPhone that's not on a playlist, or checked off in the Sync window in any of the possible categories (Playlist, genre, artist, etc)? HELP! It's taking up SO much space on my phone but I cannot see a way to remove any of it

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple. 

  • How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query

    How can I remove ASCII text from a field when I use it in a query?
    I am running a select statement on a table that appears to have ASCII text in some of the fields. If I use these fields in the where statement like the code below nothing returns:
    SELECT FIELD1 FROM TABLE1 WHERE FIELD1 IS NULL
    But the field looks empty if I do a straight select without the where clause. Additionally, one of the fields has text but appears to be padded out with ASCII text, which I need to strip out before I can use this field in a where or join statement. I have tried using a trim, ltrim, rtrim, to_char, nvl, decode and nothing works. When I use excel to run the same query it looks as if these ASCII fields are boxes.
    I have asked our DBA team to see what they can do to prevent these from going into the table, but in the mean time I still need to run this report.
    Do you have any suggestions?

    Can you provide an example? I've been trying (for
    example) "select translate(' test one', ascii(' '),
    'X') from dual" with no luck.
    Thank you.To replace space, you should query like this:
    select translate(' test one', chr(32), 'X') from dual instead of select translate(' test one', ascii(' '), 'X') from dual Thanks,

  • How do I select two-sided printing now that I have Adobe Reader? I didn't know it would change my pr

    How do I select two-sided printing now that I have Adobe Reader? I didn't know it would change my print function at all and am curious why it does. My HP printer always did this and on the old screen there was a check off box for two-sided printing. Thank you!

    Hello Mickeyps
    What's the Adobe Reader version at your end? I am using Reader 11.0.06 and I do see this option. See below.

  • I bought an iPhone while overseas, but I'm back living in the states now. It seems that FaceTime and iMessage is not enabled on it. How do I get it to work now that I'm back in the states?

    I bought an iPhone while overseas, but I'm back living in the states now. It seems that FaceTime and iMessage is not enabled on it. How do I get it to work now that I'm back in the states?

    I did buy it from someone in Jordan. So they might have got it from KSA, or UAE, or it even might be the same rules in Jordan. I don't think the imessage works even, every time someone sends me a message from their ipad it says "Not delivered". Maybe I am wrong?

  • How do i open an Appleworks file now that I am running Mavericks and Pages?

    How do I open an Appleworks file now that I am running Mavericks and Pages?

    Word Processing documents can be opened directly in Pages 4 (AppleWorks 6 only) but this is no longer available - the newPages 5 (Mavericks required) does not open AppleWorks documents. Panergy Software's docXConverter v3.2 ($19.95) can convert Appleworks 5 and 6 Word Processing documents to RTF (though it has been reported that it can only handle documents which contain only text, not those which include images or frames). The latest version of the free LibreOffice has announced that it can open AppleWorks 6 Word Processing documents and an ability to open ClarisWorks documents has been reported: it does appear to be able to handle at least some embedded images.
    Draw Documents can be opened directly only in EazyDraw (the more expensive version from their website, not the cheaper one from the Mac App Store, and you will need v4.0 'Retro' not the most recent version) or Intaglio (though this appears not to be able to handle very complex drawings). LibreOffice will open simple Draw documents but I found it very unreliable with complex ones.
    Spreadsheets can be opened directly only in the older versions of  Numbers - the new version for Mavericks will not do this. The old version is no longer available.
    Presentations can be opened directly only in the older versions Keynote; again, the new version for Mavericks will not do this. The old version is no longer available.
    To use other programs, or open Database documents at all, you must export from AppleWorks first, which means you need a way to run it.
    If you have upgraded to Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks and have AppleWorks documents you cannot open, then you should be able to install Snow Leopard on an external hard disk and start from that (provided that the Mac did not come with anything higher than Snow Leopard originally installed); and success has been reported in running Snow Leopard Server under emulation in Parallels - the method is described here: Snow Leopard Server is available in the Apple Store (by telephone) at a reduced price (at the time of writing) and is preferable to using ordinary Snow Leopard which is quite tricky. I haven't tried this myself: use at your own discretion. You can then run AppleWorks as an emergency measure.
