How to install system 6

I have a macintosh classic. I have got the floppy disks for system 6.0.8 how do I install it onto my macintosh?

Hi,
Would it be correct to assume that it is a Macintosh Classic, not just any other classic Macintosh computer?
http://support.apple.com/kb/sp198
Normally, start the computer with the appropriate disk in the floppy drive. If there is another system folder on the hard disk, it has to be removed before attempting to install System 6.0.8. Then run the installer.
If a hard disk cannot be detected, it may be necessary to reformat/initialise via the HD SC Setup utility first. Please note that this will erase everything, so make sure that backup copies exist of important files.
If there is a problem with the floppy disks, System 6.0.8 is available for download from Apple in both 800K and 1.44 MB disk versions. Disk Copy 4.2 (the Make A Copy button) is used to create properly sector-copied floppies from the disk images.

  • How to install system 9.1 on second drive of a G4 while running OS 10.5.8 on primary drive

    I am Using a G4 OS 10.5.8, trying to install system 9.1 on an erased/reformated disk with system 9 drivers option selected. Can't boot with a 9.1 install disk by holding C key on startup.   When booted with sys 10.5.8 attempting to install sys 9 on the reformatted drive yields error "classic functions are no longer supported"  no luck just copying  the software from the install disk, even though the drive shows up as an available startup drive, it never gets a spinning wheel during startup attempts.
    Thinking about reinstalling the original powermac G4 software (there are other partitions or drives available) but trying the path of least resistance first.
    Totally open to suggestions

    Since you are running OS X 10.5 (Leopard) on that machine, unless you used one of the unsupported install methods your G4 has a processor that is 867MHz or faster (that's one of the requirements for Leopard).
    Assuming that is the case, you will never be able to boot the machine to OS 9.1, or to any retail OS 9 Install CD.
    The first G4 which met the 867MHz requirement was the QuickSilver '02 model (only the mid and upper speed units); all G4 MDD models meet that requirement.
    All of the preceding which are OS 9 bootable (the G4 MDD FW800 model is not OS 9 bootable) can use only the model-specific version of OS 9.2.2 which shipped with them as a bootable OS 9.
    The QS '02 models used a stand-alone OS 9.2.2 Install CD, labelled Software Install. Installation of OS 9.2.2 using that is straight-forward - boot the machine to the Software Install CD, and install OS 9.2.2 on the second drive.
    The MDD models are a bit different. They came with a combination installer disk, one which booted to OS X but which was capable of also installing OS 9.2.2 (Classic, I think it is referred to in the installer's jargon).
    Unfortunately, the installer on those disks seems to have a restriction - it will install OS 9 (Classic) only onto a volume which already has OS X installed on it. So, how to get OS 9-only on the second drive? Two ways -
    A) Install OS 9 (Classic) onto the main drive, then copy it via drag-and-drop onto the second volume. Once placed there and tested for booting, remove the install of it placed on the original drive. Be sure to copy the folders named System Folder, Applications (Mac OS 9), and Documents; if there is a free-standing folder named Utilities, copy that too (it often is placed into the Applications (Mac OS 9) folder).
    Possible issues -
    * since the OS X on the original drive is Leopard, a substantly newer version that that on the OEM disk set, the installer on that disk set may balk at doing this.
    • aliases will be broken by copying the system and support files to the second drive. This can include an alias to Sherlock in the Apple Menu Items folder in System Folder and perhaps one or more in the Application Support folder in System Folder. Alises can be repaired - do a Get Info on an alias, and the Get Info window will display a button which can be used to reconnect the alias to the appropriate original.
    B) Install OS X (the version on the original install CD set) onto the second drive. Then install OS 9 (Classic) onto that drive. Once it has been tested for booting, throw away the OS X system and files from that drive.
    Possible issue - deleting OS X can leave behind some invisible files. Unless you are very short on disk space, these should present no problem and can be ignored - OS 9 will not (can not) attempt to use them.

  • How to install System 7.5.3 on iMac G3

    I have an iMac G3 that currently is running Mac OS 9.2. I managed to scrounge up a copy of System 7.5.3 online (it was 19 parts to download). When i opened the installer to install System 7 on my iMac, it showed an alert saying,
    "The system software 7.5.3 installer script does not recognize this macintosh. Please use the original disks that came with your computer. The installer cannot update the version of Macintosh System Software on the disk named "^0". Please remove the system."
    I have no idea what to do. I do have the original restore disks for my iMac though. Please help me out with this one.

    You cannot use 7.53 to start up an iMac G3, as it doesn't contain the resources necessary to start up an iMac. If you need to create a bootable disk for a computer which can start up from 7.53, download and install MachID Wannabe on your machine, restart, and then set the machine ID to 75. Install an universal system on the external drive(this option is available under Custom Install), and then reopen MachID Wannabe and reset your computer's ID. This disk cannot be used to start up your iMac; it will only start up systems which can run 7.53 without an emulator.

  • How to install System Centre Service Manager Console on any PC

    Hi, I'm new to the forum, and am trying to get SCSM installed into the organisation for Servicedesk purposes.
    According to several pieces of documentation, I should be able to "manually install the Service Manager console as a stand-alone piece on a computer". However, I am unable to find any documentation or instructions on how to install a fat console on a PC.
    Can someone help me with the instructions.
    I understand that future versions could well include an  Analyst Webportal, which hopefully will mature the Analyst environment significantly (currently with CR support on portal only, and having to use console is far from ideal.)

    We had created a SCCM package to deploy SCSM 2010 SP1 console to user's PC. I also found someone post the following URL for SCSM 2012:

  • How to install system on late 2013 macbook pro retina ?

    Hmmm .... I need help.
    I deployed a 10.9.1 from a new MBA image to the new 15" MBPr .... not a good idea. It won't boot because of the special build that the late 2013 requires.
    So the original recovery HD is gone, so can't go that route. Now I need help badly. How to get the darn thing to bootup .... or how to start over ?
    BR Martin

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Your Late 2013 MacBook Pro comes with Internet Recovery, which can be used without needing a Recovery partition. To start up in Internet Recovery, hold Command, Option (Alt) and R keys while your Mac is starting, and reinstall OS X. You will get OS X 10.9.1, and the Mavericks installer will create the OS X Recovery partition.
    Your MacBook Pro requires a special OS X 10.9.1 build that is not available for any other Mac, and you cannot install the "normal" OS X 10.9.1 version on your MacBook Pro. Apple will fix this in a future update, when your MacBook Pro and all other Macs use the same OS X build.

  • How to install Creative Cloud on any drive other than my System drive...

    You are now chatting with 'Bhagawan'
    Bhagawan: Hello. Welcome to Adobe Technical Support.
    Bhagawan: Hi Steve
    Steve: It appears CC installs on my system drive without asking me. The way I manage my system - this is not acceptable. So, how do I install on the drive I install all my other apps?
    Bhagawan: I understand that you want to install Creative Cloud desktop app. Am I correct?
    Steve: On a particular drive - not my system drive.
    Steve: CC, Photoshop, etc.
    Bhagawan: I will be glad to check and help you with this issue.
    Bhagawan: Steve, creative cloud desktop app can be install only on C drive, but other apps you select for other drive.
    Steve: My C: drive is dedicated to my OS only.
    Steve: It is a special drive that will not work for very long if software companies put their programs on it till it fills up and then everything stops.
    Steve: Didn't Adobe think of this?
    Steve: I have one computer that only has a few MBs left of C:. What do I do on that computer?
    Steve: "left on C:"
    Bhagawan: Give me a minute.
    Bhagawan: Thank you.
    Bhagawan: Steve, I'm really sorry, creative cloud desktop app will be installed on C Drive, since the operating system is installed, but other Creative Cloud apps can be installed other Drive and depends on file size.

    I had the same problem and finally solved it.
    It is "funny" that CC doesn't ask you where to install apps. Or better to say, it asks you but doesn't care. In Creative Cloud desktop app/Preferences there is option to choose where you want apps to be installed, but they are still installed in C:/Program Files/....
    How to install apps on secondary drive in just 3 steps:
    1. Go to page Adobe CC 2014 Direct Download Links – Creative Cloud 2014 Release | ProDesignTools and download all apps that you will need.
    2. Once downloaded, install it. During installation you will be asked where you want app to be installed (just like in any other "normal" installation)
    3. Be happy
    Hope I helped

  • How to Install Oracle 10g in Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system

    Hi,
    I am using Windows 7 Home premium 64bit operating system. While i was installing oracle 10g i got error and not able to install. How to install the Oracle 10g databse on this operating system. Is there any patch to install this or i have to use other version of oracle with window 7 operating system?
    Thanks in advance
    Mayank Adhikari

    The argument would be who wants to install Oracle database on Windows 7. I think most probably by the developers who wants to "Try" something prior deal with a production database, right?
    For a developer, installing database using the hack is more than NOT having a local database running from the local system. I installed all the products mentioned with windows7bugs post and used the following tools to successfully connect and retrive data from the database instances.
    Toad 9.7.x.x
    SQL Developer
    SQL/Plus
    Developer 6i (Another hack, please check this link http://windows7bugs.wordpress.com/2010/03/01/installing-oracle-developer-forms-reports-6i-on-windows-7-64bit/).
    I think the discussion about whether all the features of client/server are still available with such a hacked installation is meaningless as far the information requested was strictly for Windows 7, not for a Server OS.

  • How to install operating system on new hard drive without installation disc on macbook pro 2011

    My macbook pro 2011 does not come with a recovery disc or any disc at all, my hard drive recently failed and i have no backup. i have replaced the hard drive but don't know how to install the operating system on the new hard drive.

    If it originally shipped with 10.7 or newer, connect the computer to the Internet and start it up with the Option, Command, and R keys held down. You'll be able to install an OS.
    If it shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier and wasn't upgraded to use Apple's Internet Recovery system, phone AppleCare and order the disks.

  • How to install forms 6i runtime using windows Systems Management Server?

    Here is a quick summary on why this works...
    The Problem:
    The issue relies with the method and logic that MDT’s scripts use to query and validate that the proper disks, partitions and storage space reside before starting the installation of Windows.
    Essentially what you have configured in the Task Sequence and the UNATTEND.xml is analyzed by the MDT scripts then a validation is completed against the hardware in which you wish to install Windows
    on and if there are any errors you will be prompted with MDT Error or Warning dialogs.
    The problem is that the MDT scripts use WMI to query the hard disk, partition and free space requirements for Windows, but in the case of using GPT disk, the 2nd partition (MSR) that you have to create
    is hidden. The class that WMI uses for its query can’t see the MSR partition so instead of 3 partitions, it returns 2 in the query results; hence why DISK 0 PARTITION 3 doesn’t work as mentioned earlier when configured in the MDT Task Sequence.
    Although the above still confuses me as to why it works with DISK 0 PARTITION 2 since the WMI query results return PARTITION IDs 0 and 1 when it should return 1 and 2…
    The Windows Pre-Installation Environment however does see all 3 partitions correctly and we tried configuring in our Task Sequence to install Windows to DISK 0 and PARTITION 2 and in the UNATTEND.xml
    file to install Windows to DISK 0 and PARTITION 3 but due to timing issues of the way Windows installs with MDT, did this not work for us.

  • Where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    Folks,
    Hello. I am using Oracle Linux 5 and Oracle Database 11g for PIA.
    Before install Oracle DB 11g into Oracle Linux 5, we need to install X Window System according to the document page 2 http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32285.pdf
    But I don't know where to download and how to install X Window System for Oracle Linux 5.
    Can any folk provide a link to download X Window System and tutorial to install it for Oracle Linux 5 ?

    You can address the problem in a number of different ways.
    You can install X-windows from the installation DVD or setup access to the Oracle public software repository as described in http://public-yum.oracle.com. In which case, the command to install X-windows is: yum groupinstall "X Window System"
    Or, you login remotely and and use SSH with X-forwarding, in which case the software on the server will use the X-Windows server on your client system. This is probably the preferred way since you do not have X-windows installed on the server. For more details about SSH forwarding and howto, please see Install Oracle 11gR2 on Ubuntu Linux 11.04 (64-bit) Howto part 2 Oracle Universal Installer.

  • How to instal/set UWL in order to test WF functionality also on test system

    I am replacing colleague who is on hollydays.
    I am pritty new in EP area. We have integrated ESS functionality with some approval workflows.
    WF guy told me I have to maintain the UWL on test system as this one can not communicate with test backend system.
    So far I created iviews with SAP transactions(and one with URL), page workset and a test role on an brand new system enironment consisting of an ides ecc on an freshly installed  EP system.
    On old  test EP I am very confused (maybe because of  ESS package). Other confusing thing is that on this EP system I can not add e.g an i.view(there  I can not  as "No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates.").
    So my question would be :
    1.How to instal/set UWL (so that workflows can be tested on test environment i.e. old test system with ESS package  in connection with backend
    2.How could I get reed of "No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates." message(espetially if this has any impact on qustion 1.)
