I am getting message "the internet assistant could not be found."   Is there a way to reinstall it? I know nothing about  Macs. OS is 9.0, hardware is iMac G3 2000.

I was given an old iMac G3 2000, a big blue and white computer. I cannot connect to the internet. I am a Windows person and thought this would be a good opportunity to learn something new. I setup tcp/ip, I setup Internet control panel. The main problem is that the Internet Setup assistan is missing. Can I simply install the internet setup assistant? I am totally lost in this apple world. Please help or at least give me some direction. I do not have the Operating system CD.

I do not have the Operating system CD.
You need it in order to custom install "internet setup assistant?"  Either get them from the person who gave you the iMac or from Apple.  You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html  Another resource:  International Support Phone #s. 
Suggest that you cross-post over in the Classic Mac OS (OS9, OS8 & System 7) forums.

    Try removing the Genius database.  In the "Finder" go to the /username/Music/iTunes/ folder and delete the "iTunes Library Genius.itdb" file. This may allow the program to launch again. This file will be recreated upon first use of the "Genius" feature.

  • I recently transferred my itunes library to an external hard drive. Now I get the error message 'the original file could not be found. Could you like to locate it' when i try to open songs. My iPod syncs ok.

    I recently tranferred my iTunes library to an external hard drive. Now I cannot open songs and get the error message ' The song "***" could not not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it'. This applies to all 9742 songs!!. My iPod still syncs ok, but I can't play songs on the PC. Can anyone please help.

    It would help to have more background about your iTunes collection such as if you keep it on an external drive, or if you have moved or renamed anything recently.  iTunes is very sensitive to you renaming or moving files or folders involved with your media.  iTunes only keeps a reference to where a media file is located  and then goes to look for it when you try to play it. If you have changed things since it was added to itunes then it's like me sending you to look for a friend in my addressbook but that friend has moved.
    The other possibility is your computer is starting to lose files.  Again, the computer uses a reference database to tell it where on the drive to look for a file. If that database gets corrupt then it starts losing files.  Use Dsk Utility's first aid to verify your hard drive.

  • Getting error message "the requested item could not be found" when trying to install Firefox on my android.

    I had to uninstall Firefox for Android because I was having problems logging in to sync. I got a support e-mail to uninstall and reinstall because the sync issue had been fixed. I uninstalled the Firefox app and then when I tried to reinstall it I get the error message on my phone "the requested item could not be found." HELP!

    Some supported phones are not displaying Firefox in the Market for some reason. We're still investigating this. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    and then download the app directly from here:
    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/
    (Note: If your phone is from AT&T, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

  • I am getting the message "the original file could not be found" on my home computer

    I have 2600 songs on my computer but they all say that they cannot be used because the original file could not be found.  Attempting to locate it does not do anything?  I want to get these songs on/back on my iPod. HELP!

    Use Get Info. on a broken track and view the "expected" location from the summary tab. Restore the file from a backup, or find out where it has been moved to and move it back. If there is an obvious pattern it may be possible to move everything in one go, or I have a script called FindTracks that may be able to reconnect files to their current locations, assuming they're still present somewhere.

  • ITunes message "the original file could not be found"

    I recently consolidated my music files to an external hard drive using the "consolidate" feature in iTunes. I imported the music library files and everything seemed to be good. I even did it a second time on to another external hard drive that I back up my entire computer to so that I actually had two copies of my music. At the time I checked that I could access the music on either hard drive by picking the library on that respect external unit with the other drive turned off. Both units were disconnected from the computer for several days and when I went to play iTunes I get the message that "the original file could not be found". It doesn't matter which hard drive library I try to access the result is the same.
    I have exported the library text file to Access and there is no information in the "Location" column. It would appear that this information was not saved or lost somehow. The tech article on "Recreating the iTunes Library file" didn't work as iTunes stated the same thing, "the original file could not be found".
    All my music is still there, iTunes library file just lost the information as to the location of the individual files. Anybody know of a way or a program to reestablish those locations with out going through 10,000 songs one by one to reestablish its location?

    I am having some difficulty understanding exactly what set up your have and are you on iTunes 7? You don’t need to use consolidate to get your library onto an external drive if you are on 7, there is an easier way.
    There are two important considerations, the location of the library files and the location of the iTunes Music folders. You have iTunes Music folders on two different external drives, but what about the library files – iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml?
    Do you have those on the internal drive in My Music\iTunes, or do you have separate copies on the two external drives in iTunes folders there? Something like
    X:\Music\iTunes\ containing the libraries and X:\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music for the music files.
    The more precise information about how you have things set up the better, and what is the location of your iTunes Music folder as set in Edit>Preferences>Advanced>General.
    What method were you using to try to connect to the music on the two drives, and do they always have the same drive letters?
    In general terms you get exclamation marks against your tracks for the following reasons:
    The song file or a folder in its path was renamed
    The song file or the folder it is in has been moved
    The song file has been deleted
    The device containing the song files e.g. external drive is not accessible

  • I have an Epic 4G. When I try to download Firefox for Mobile I get a message the requested item could not be found. Help?

    When I try to download Firefox for Android on my Epic 4G I get a message saying the item could not be found.

    An update to quote mbrubeck:
    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

    This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

    Did you move your music out of the iTunes folder? iTunes gets snarky when you do that. Here, read this, it has some information that will be helpful to you in fixing your issue.

    Thank you for posting your answer, and then solution! :> I was fighting

    across your posting. Although I'm playing with 7, I thought I would try

  • Time Machine error "The backup disk could not be found"

    I use Time Capsule with Time Machine, Lion OS and manage to setup successfully. However after I on it for few hours, there is backup error. Time Machine error message "The backup disk could not be found." But the internet wifi is working normally.
    To solve this issue I have to power off and on it again, then the disk can be detected. But after few hours same thing happen again.
    Is it a hardware faulty or sometime that cause the Time Capusle harddisk to sleep after sometime?

    I have this exact same problem.  When I restart the Time Capsule I can then start backups normally, but it requires manual intervention.  That's dissapointing because Time Machine and Time Capsule are supposed to be an automatic, worry free backup.  I have to restart the Time Capsule frequently.  Annoyed.
