How to install OS X Jaguar on a USB Stick?

I was wondering how I could install OS X Jaguar on my USB stick. I have upgraded my iMac G3 to OS X Tiger and I don't want to partition the hard-drive because it is a small hard drive. So I want to install OS X Jaguar on my USB stick. But when I choose my USB Stick as the destanation it says that it can only install OS X onto a bootable USB stick! Someone please help!

Those older machines cannot boot from a USB device. Only from internal or Firewire. If you could boot from a USB device, then you would first need to prep the USB stick by partitioning and formatting it for OS X using Disk Utility.

    Maybe some real Boot Campers will visit this thread...

    If you have the Media you can use it to create a bootable USB key via boot camp assistant.
    It will create the usb and has the option of pre-downlading the drivers and bootcamp utilities for windows.
    It is pretty much all automated and quite simple.

    How do I transfer a file to a usb stick straight from the ipad ?

    Buy a portable wi-fi router with file sharing such as MOCREO 5-in-1 Portable WiFi (not personaly vouching for this one it just happens to be the one I have and it cost less than the apple connection cables).
    Plug your USB stick into the router
    Connect your ipad via wi-fi to the router.
    Log into the routers built in file managment or use any FTP capable app to connect (GoodReader, ifiles, etc)
    Transfer files.

  • How to install windows 7 through a bootable usb?

    I had tried to install windows 7 on my imac running os lion through a bootable usb as it's superdrive is broken.
    Firstly I created the bootable usb of windows 7 from my friend's laptop using the instructions on this website
    http://windows.appstorm.net/how-to/windows-7/how-to-create-a-windows-7-installat ion-usb-drive/
    but bootcamp would raise an error saying disk could not be found. So I modified the info.plist file from bootcamp package contents and created an iso of the bootable usb drive. Bootcamp then allowed to create a windows install usb through the iso and partitioned the hard disk too but after doing so the computer restarted with a black screen and a message ' insert boot disk and press any key'. Now I've deleted the windows partition and really need help installing windows 7.

    You can only install Windows 7 from an USB drive if your Mac didn't come with the SuperDrive.
    I know that you can modify the Boot Camp Assistant Info.plist to show the option to create a bootable USB drive, but the problem is that the firmware of your iMac doesn't allow it. Use a Windows 7 DVD

  • Installing Solaris Express 11 on a USB stick

    Hi,
    I am in the process of building a resilient development/testing lab server using 4 SATA disks in a RAIDZ configuration, I want to boot the host SE 11 o/s off a internal USB stick to manage this server, so my question is how do I go about installing SE 11 on a USB stick (persistent not a live image).
    Perhaps naively I assumed this would be easy, as Solaris would just see the flash storage as any other storage. What I have attempted is running the live CD, it detected my USB stick and I continued to run through the installer, I choose a "Entire Disk" install, it took an absolute age in doing this, in the process of installing a message/error appeared about the zpool (sorry I should of noted it), but it continued, once complete, I changed the bios option to boot from USB, this resulted in booting what looked like a successful install, but it just sat at the Oracle progress screen about 20 minutes, the one prior to loading the GNOME login page.
    I've googled this to no avail, I'm having a hard time in believing nobody has ever tried this before, perhaps for good reason that I seem to be unaware of.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Best Regards,
    Jana

    There are varieties of methods and ways, options i.e.
    1.) From Microsoft Windows (NT i.e. XP (5.x), 6 (Vista) & 7) with the "Open Solaris Live USB creator"; this reported works! Easily and quickly with a graphical user interface transferring *.usb and or *.iso files upon flash drives and memory cards bootably, 'select device / drive and file and click start ; from http://devzone.sites.pid0.org/OpenSolaris/opensolaris-liveusb-creator
    2.) With 'usbcopy' under Solaris 11 / Open Solaris and or the 'installgrub' command.; from http://www.milax.org/files/
    For an example, from within (Open) Solaris a command statement (without the quotes) such as;
    In these 'device' is substitute for the actual special device (file) assigned to the usb flash drive, again as an example if it were assigned "c0t2d0s3" and or "/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s3"; its device "/dev/rdsk/c0t2d0 with two additional, 2 place fields denotating specifics, such as 's3' for a slice or 'p0' the entire flash device for example purpose, partitioning
    #> "fdisk -d /dev/rdsk/'device'" however to partition, and leave space for other partitions
    or
    #> "fdisk -d -B /dev/rdsk/'device'" for a partition using the entire space available;
    then
    #> "dd if=sol-11-exp--live-x86.usb of=/dev/rdsk/'device bs=512" for example to copy the Solaris 'image' to the flash drive
    and then finally, finishing it, installing the grub boot loader, to boot and or 'start' from. i.e. load and initialize (executing) the operating system, would be;
    #> "installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/'device'" would install grub to the 'device' for 'booting', having it startable ; and or plainly "installgrub -m /boot/grub/stage1 /boot/grub/stage2 /dev/rdsk/c0t2d0s3"
    Hopelly helpfull, GOD willing.

  • How do I block an account on a USB stick?

    My daughter has created a new account on a USB stick (which I cannot find!) that overrides all the passwords and security checks for her account.  She has named it, and uses it when I am at work.  I have no idea how to stop this and although I have changed the passwords an all our family accounts to one she CANNOT guess, she obviously is able to gain access to the computer with the USB stick.  I have no idea where to begin!  The account shows as  "[son's name]'s iMac" and it has Administrators priviledges (although I have changed his settings back to "managed" in the Users & Groups pane, this makes no difference), my son is at University and therefore does not live with us and has not given her permission to use his account.  This has been going on now for three months and I'm sick of her downloading rubbish onto my computer but more importantly it means she is coming back downstairs to log back on until 2 am on a school night when we're all asleep!  Can someone please help me with blocking this account?  I'd be very grateful!!   

    Insert the stick.
    Wait for it to appear on the Desktop.
    Drag your files to it.
    Wait for the copying to complete.
    Drag the icon of the drive to the Trash.
    Do not remove the stick until the icon has disappeared from the Desktop.
    There are backup programs available which will make the process easier by using 'incremental backups' which copy over and update only changed files.

  • [Guide] Windows 8.1 PRO RTM clean install on Yoga 13 from a USB Stick

    Hello everyone,
    I recently installed Windows 8.1 Pro RTM successfully so I thought it may be useful to share the steps here.
    Disclaimer: Please proceed with caution. I'm not responsible for any gain, loss, or harm done to you, your device, or your data.
    Link to picture
    Pre-requisites:
    1- Windows 8.1 RTM ISO image. (Available on the internet)
    2- Windows 8 Pro license key. (Yes, It works with 8.1 also)
    3- Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool
    4- Lenovo Yoga 13 Windows 8 Drivers
    5- USB Stick or HDD with at least 4GB space. (Note: All data on disk will be erased)
    Steps:
    1- Important: Take a full backup of HDD.
    2- Plugin the USB disk then open Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool.
    3- Point to WIN8.1 ISO image path and wait for the wizard to finish.
    4- After the wizard completes succefully, keep the USB stick plugged in and then restart the device in UEFI mode.
    ( + C -> Settings -> General -> Advanced -> Restart now -> Use a device -> USB UEFI Device).
    5- It shall boot from the USB device and begin Windows setup wizard.
    6- Specify the preferred language and enter the license key and choose advanced installation.
    7- In disk allocation wizard, delete partitions with the following labels: LENOVO, WINRE_DRV, SYSTEM_DRV
    (Warning: Don't erase partition labeled PBR_DRV as this will erase the Lenovo recovery drive).
    8- Select the resulted unallocated space (should be around 106 GB) and click next.
    9- Now wait until Windows completes installation.
    10- Customize Windows, install Windows drivers downloaded earlier and restore your backup.
    11- Voila, shall you encounter any problems don't hesitate to ask me.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Sorry, forgot to mention that in order to boot from UEFI the flash drive must be formatted as FAT32. Windows USB and DVD tool supports only NTFS, So after creating the bootable image, copy all the files from the flash drive to the HDD then format the flash drive as FAT32 then copy the files back from the HDD to the flash drive. The flash drive will still be bootable.

  • How do I delete a file from my USB Stick

    I have a new MacBook Pro with retina display.
    I have just put in my USB flash drive which contains some movies (MP4 format).
    I am unable to even move the files to the trash.
    When I "double click" I only get options to open/ create alias etc
    When I hold down CMD and DELETE I get nothing.
    How do I delete a simple file from my USB stick??
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    Just to re-iterate...for some reason my Macbook doesn't seem to be providing enough power to the EHD through the USB ports.
    So in recap.
    1.  Is there anyway to get more power to my USB port to power the EHD
    2. If not, how do I transfer my contents of my EHD to my Macbook without wiping the EHD first
    thanks

  • How do i put my photos onto a usb stick

    how do i put my photos onto a usb stick

    If they're stored as loose files, drag them there.
    If they're part of an iPhoto library, open iPhoto and export them to a location on it. If the drive's formatted as Mac OS Extended and has enough space, you can instead drag-copy the entire iPhoto library to it in the Finder.

  • Installing Snow Leopard Server From a USB Sticki

    In my job, I install Snow Leopard and Snow Leopard Server three or four times a day.
    With Snow Leopard, I've found it easiest to install from a USB stick. So, I did a restore from a DVD to a USB in Disk Utility and it's worked great.
    With Snow Leopard Server, it is not so simple. When trying to install from a USB stick, I get "Mac OS X 10.6 Server Cannot Be Installed To This Machine." Though strangely, installing from the DVD is no problem.
    I've tried to restore straight from the DVD to the USB. I've also tried to install from the DVD to a disk image to the USB. Both times, the USB will mount fine, but I get that error message.
    Am I missing a trick here?

    Oddly enough it is working for me. I had some issues initially so I went out and bought ONE 16GB thumb-drive (major vendor) and partitioned into two partitions.
    I restored one of the partitions with 10.6 and restored the other with 10.6 server. Works flawlessly for me though I do like netinstall. It is a bit slower than the FW800 drive though I do not have to carry around a power brick.
    I hope this helps!

  • How to move a 4GB file onto a USB Stick?

    I know the USB stick is formatted wrong, but I'm not sure which format to use?
    I want to be able to copy my Mac files onto the stick, couple of the videos are larger that 4GB, and give them to my client, who is on a PC.
    So, I need to format it so that it will work on both a Mac and a PC.
    Disk Utility has several options, but I am not sure which one is best for the later part, moving the files to a PC.
    Disk Utility format options:
         1. Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
         2. Mac OS Extended
         3. Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled)
         4. Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive)
         5. MS-DOS (FAT)   <-- I know this isn't it!
         6. ExFAT
    Which do I choose?

    5. MS-DOS (FAT)   <-- I know this isn't it!
    6. ExFAT
    These are the only two compatible with both. The latter can handle large files. FAT32 is only capable of up to 4 GBs per file.
    You could purchase and install Tuxera NTFS 2012.3.4 on your computer so you could read and write NTFS files. NTFS is the most compatible filesystem for your described needs.
