I am upgrading a old power mac g4 need update 9.1 and the system gives error message when i try to export it?

i am upgrading from 9.0.4 to 9.1.0 in the order that I am instructed when trying to get free update from the apple site i get error message..what gives with that am i supposed to just stay in os9?

9.1 is helpful for some application compatibility, but more so for running Mac OS 9 within Classic environment in Mac OS X.    Classic though is not as good as booting into 9 directly, as many drivers are not accessible to the Classic environment in X.   You can find the newer 9 updates if you follow this tip.

    Hi Klaus1
    So, I tried all the suggestions and followed the links - all to no avail.

  • Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store

    I am trying to download new version of iTunes from App store having purchased it on my laptop.  When I try to download on my iMac I get the following message:
    Error message when I try to download new iTunes as follows:  iPhoto 7.1.5 is already installed and was not purchased from the Mac App Store - and then I am asked if I want to buy it again. I don't understand the error message and I don't want to purchase the new version again.
    Also, since upgrading to Lion my videos (from Sanyo Xacti camera) do not play on iTunes. I can only open photos.
    Thank you.

    Make a back up of your Library. Now you can update without fear.

  • I just did the recent upgrade and now I keep getting an error message when I try to open a book on my Kindle app, I have deregistered the app and reloaded and the same thing happens, does anyone know how to fix?

    You are seeing the message because the new AirPort Extreme has some specific System Requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/airport-extreme/specs/
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    AirPort Utility 5.6.1 in Snow Leopard may or may not work correctly with the new Extreme for all functions. As long as things are working OK for now, you can probably leave them "as is" and wait for another Mavericks update to fix some issues before you "upgrade".
    If you have an iPhone or iPad, you could use that to administer any settings changes on the new Extreme.

  • Error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card

    I am recieving an error message when I try to copy new files (images, documents) to mac from flash drive/SD card. The message is saying "operation cannot be completed because an item already exists with that name." They are brand new therefore not the same name? I cannot even put them in a brand new folder...  How can I fix this?
    Please help me!

    You don't need to recover the system.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press the space bar:
    dot_clean -m
    Switch to the Finder and drag the icon of the flash drive into the Terminal window. Some text will appear after what you entered. Press return.
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear. Then quit Terminal and try the copy again.

    Reboot the TC.. Sometimes you need to reboot the whole network.
    This is what comes of Lion and then made worse in Mountain Lion of Apple not spending enough time to fix the bugs.
    Read C12 in pondini.

    C17 can be related I think.

    Oliver,
    Are you getting activation errors? As Ned stated , it is easier to troubleshoot if we have the specific type of error and error detail that you are getting.
    Here is some help on activation if this is the issue:

  • I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error.

    I upgraded my iphone 5 to iOS 8 and now i get an itunes error message when I try to sync "this iphone cannot be synced. Unknown error. (-50). my icloud drive was stuck in an upgrade cycle, but i've stopped that and still get the error message.

    I restarted itunes and tried again (based on a similar question/solution from 2012).
    I don't get the error message anymore, but it's really sort of odd that after step one of sync, it looks as if sync stopped, and then all of a sudden you see step 4 of sync.
    Also before the upgrade I had 7+ gigs of space free and after the upgrade I have 10 gigs free. seems like something is amiss, but it's not like I have anyway of determining that.

  • When I upgraded to win 7 I was told to uninstall iTunes and its helper programs. Now when I try to install it I get this message that it's not part of the original program.

    When I upgraded to Windows 7 I was told to uninstall iTunes and its helper services. Now when I try to install it I get a message that says "the files I'm trying to install are not native to this program. Is this being blocked by Windows 7 security that I'm not used to. I'm not using the Windows firewall. How do I find what process is doing the blocking. Any ideas would sure help. Rex

    I understand where you are coming from.  I had the Ultimate Tier at one point, but I didn't watch alot of those channels so I downgraded. 
    Another problem with changing my tier back up to Ultimate is that I was told I would lose the discounts associated with the package I have now.  The discounts won't transfer to the new package and they can't give me an equal amount of discounts with a new package. At least with the Sports Pass, it is an add on like HBO, so you can cancel at anytime with no penalties or changes to your plan.
    Verizon does advertise the Sports Pass on its website.  Here are the channels.  The only ones I would be interested in would be beIN and ESPN Classic, since I will be losing that channel sometime in May since I only have the Extreme tier.
    beIN Sports HD
    CBS Sports Network
    ESPN Buzzer Beater HD
    ESPN Goal Line HD
    ESPN Classic
    HRTV
    Longhorn Network (Outside of Texas)
    Outdoor Channel SD/HD
    Sportsman Channel
    TVG
    World Fishing Network SD/HD

    I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
    But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
    Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
    The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been  running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.

  • Have old Power Mac G4, need advice on upgrading the operating system

    Hello. Glad I found this forum. Wish it was prominently advertized on the Apple home page. Anyway, I have an old Power Mac G4 running OS X 10.0.4. Well, actually, I've always run it in OS 9.2. In fact recently I started playing with it again and switched it to OS X 10.0.4 and it seems to be unstable. The display dissappears after a while running. The machine is not off, just no display. Hitting the smaller reboot button brings it back up, only to have it repeat the failure. But that's not really my question. I want to use this machine as a Skype phone and for iMovie in OS 9.2. Skype is only available for OS X 10.3.9 and later OS's. So, if it's not a major hassle and expense, I want to upgrade to OS X 10.3.9 or later. That's where I need some advice. Having never attempted such a project, I'd like as much feedback as I can get about what to expect going in. Here are some questions:
    1. Will I still be able to run OS 9.2 (either concurrently or by switching the startup disk when needed) if I upgrade to OS X 10.3.9 or later?
    2. Will this instability with OS X 10.0.4 dissappear if I uprgade?
    3. Where can I find the appropriate upgrade software?
    4. Can I jump from OS X 10.0.4 to a version as late as OS X 10.3.9 without any intermediate steps, and without creating all kinds of little inconsistencies that I will have to chase down to make it work right in day to day use.
    If I get answers to all that, I'll be blown away by the spirit of helpfulness on this forum! But anything you can offer will be greatly appreciated. I don't really want to do anything fancy with the machine, just Skype, hopefully iMovie and maybe stream some TV programs if all goes well. Thanks for reading through all this and for anything you can offer.

    Cornelius, clearly you know your Macs!
    Thank you. I have great mentors, one of whom is Kappy.
    My next question about OS 9 is, if I have to wipe the hard drive, will the Panther retail box I buy include OS 9 or will I need to somehow add it from the original software pack I have after installing Panther?
    You have options.
    1. You can choose to install Panther using the Archive and Install option, which will leave OS 9 untouched. However, since you currently have OS X 10.0.4 on your drive, I think a complete reformat, erase and reinstall is advisable.
    2. You can copy your OS 9 Systems Folder, OS 9 Applications Folder and any data you have have to a USB jump drive, or CD or an external Hard Disk Drive and restore it after Panther or Tiger is installed.
    3. You can install OS 9 from scratch. We will give you step by step directions for doing it.
    I'm assuming I can't use the disks that came with my laptop to updgrade my Power Mac G4, right?
    It may or may not work. However, the Apple Software License Agreement stipulates that unless you have a multiple user license, the OS can only be installed on one computer at a time.
    I'm concerned about OS 9 is because I want to be able to run the OS 9 iMovie that I have on the Power Mac G4 now.
    If you reinstall OS 9, that should be included. OS X also has iMovie, although I am not sure if it is included in the Retail Version. You can also purchase iLife which will include iMovie and other apps.
    What are the potential pitfalls of buying a copy on eBay? What do I need to know to "know what I'm looking for"? What questions should I ask?
    The pitfalls are many. There is fraud on eBay (elsewhere, too, I guess), so you want to be sure you get a reputable seller. You want to be sure that you are getting the Full Retail Version, not computer specific gray disks or upgrade installers. You should ask the seller, in addition, whether you can return the merchandise for a refund if it does not work on your computer. Most reputable sellers want to satisfy their buyers and their business depends on their reputation.
    Kappy said I would need more RAM (I have 384 MB). Where would you recommend buying that?
    Your computer will support a total of 1.5 GB of PC-133 3.3v, unbuffered, 8-byte, non-parity 168-pin SDRAM in 3 slots. You currently have a 128 MB and 256 MB modules in two slots. You can remove one or both and add two or three 512 MB modules. Check out the list of vendors and prices at ramseeker
    Good luck.

  • Uninstalled Old PS Versions - Now Get "One Or More File. . .etc" Error Message When Launching PS CC

    I just unistalled PS C3 through 6 on my computer leaving only PS CC for use going forward.  Having done this I now get this error message when launching PS CC:  "One or more files in the Adobe Application Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing.  Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop."  The thing is PS CC still appears to be working okay once that error message is cleared.  How can I get rid of that error message?  I can't reinstall using the CC Updater because it still sees PS CC on the system thus it won't install another copy.  I'd just as soon not uninstall it and I'm not sure that would fix the issue anyway.
    Any ideas?

    Hi jpolster,
    You can uninstall PS CC through the Control Panel in windows/Utilities in MAC & the reinstall PS CC.
    Thanks
