IBook G4 "slowed" SIGNIFICANTLY afte installing OSX 10.4.8 and then 10.4.9

Hi,
My iBook G4 slowed SIGNIFICANTLY after installing OSX 10.4.8 and then 10.4.9 and freezes often too!!!
I mean, it takes a few minuets to boot-up sometimes.... I hate that spinning wheel!
It ran great before the two up-dates, and I have done all the "verify and repair" that can possibly be done with and without the original installation DVD.
Basically, can I revert to 10.4.7???
Or, is there a simple solution?

First let's take a step back and have a look at your upgrade procedures. Here is one suggestion of how to proceed:
Mac OS X 10.4.9: Update procedure recommendation
First, make a full backup of your current Mac OS X installation -- preferably a clone ( try SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner). If something goes wrong, or you experience a major incompatibility after updating, the backup will prove invaluable.
Next, if you are the cautious type, run a disk repair on the volume targeted for installation. You can use an n alternative startup drive or your Mac OS X installation disc. If you are starting up from your Mac OS X install disc, put the disc in your optical drive and restart holding down the "C" key. After your system starts up and you've selected your language, go to the "Utilties" menu and select "Disk Utility." Use the "Repair Disk" function. After disk repairs are complete, restart from your normal startup drive and continue.
Avoid performing any other operations (in Mac OS X or third-party applications) while the update process is occurring. Performing other tasks during the update process potentiates various issues, including problems with prebinding (which is happening during the "Optimizing the system" phase of the update process) and others that can occur when files are being replaced by the update are also being read/written by the currently logged in user. You should not only refrain from launching applications or working with files during the update process, but also from putting the system to sleep, disconnecting/connecting devices, and other potentially interruptive actions.
In addition, before installing the update, make sure all Apple-installed applications and utilities are in their original locations. Moving one of these applications to a different location on your hard drive can lead to an incomplete update. Also, disconnect any FireWire/USB devices before applying Mac OS X 10.4.9 (except for your startup drive, if it is FireWire or USB, and your keyboard/mouse), then re-connect the devices one by one (checking for issues created by any particular device) after the update process is complete and the system has restarted. Also, note that the first restart after applying Mac OS X 10.4.9 may be abnormally long. Subsequent restarts should take place at normal speed.

  • IBook G4 slowed SIGNIFICANTLY & FREEZES with OSX 10.4.8 and then 10.4.9 too

    Hi,
    My iBook G4 slowed SIGNIFICANTLY after installing OSX 10.4.8 and then 10.4.9 and freezes often too!!!

    It ran great before the two up-dates, and I have done all the "verify and repair" that can possibly be done with and without the original installation DVD, including disk repair.
    I had no other programs running at the installation, nor were there USB or Firewire attached. But I was plugged into the local network (how else was I supposed to download the upgrade).
    Basically, can I revert to 10.4.7???
    Or, is there a simple solution?

    Hi Thanks for the help,
    S.M.A.R.T. Status: Verified, is appearing just like
    that.
    OK, that's a good sign, though it doesn't necessarily mean that everything is okay with the drive, just that nothing is currently far enough out of spec to get flagged.
    I looked in the console (I dont even know what it is)
    and the only things I could find that looked dodgey
    were lines such as those below...
    Apr 12 10:19:11 localhost launchd: Server 3d2b in
    bootstrap 1103 uid 0: "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[41]: exited
    abnormally: Hangup
    Apr 12 10:19:18 james-rk-modzelewskis-ibook-g4
    launchd: Server 0 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0:
    "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[55]: exited abnormally: Hangup
    Apr 18 11:14:20 james-rk-modzelewskis-ibook-g4
    launchd: Server 0 in bootstrap 1103 uid 0:
    "/usr/sbin/lookupd"[55]: exited abnormally: Hangup
    These occur a few dozen times throughout the system
    log. Does it mean anything to you???
    Those are harmless, I think. I've seen them on my laptop, I think around when I switch the network from ethernet to AirPort or vice versa. And maybe when I put the computer to sleep, too.
    One thing you should try to do is see if you can figure out a pattern to the stalls and freezes. Do they only happen when you're on the Internet? Maybe just with one particular web site or page? Also, try running Activity Monitor and keep an eye on it to see if you can catch the name of a process that's taking too much processor time.
    How much RAM does your computer have, and how much free space on your hard drive? That can make a difference, too. You should have a few GB (I like to keep at least 8GB free on my PowerBook) of free hard drive space. 512 MB of RAM is pretty much the minimum for Tiger, I think. Less than that and you'll find the computer will be using swap space on the hard drive quite a bit if you try to do anything but the bare minimum of simple web pages and email.

  • I have a late 2009 iMac. I installed OSX 10.8.4 and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I have a 1.5TB external HD. Are there any issues I need to know about or tips I need to know before doing this? Thanks.

    I have a late 2009 iMac. I installed OSX 10.8.4 and want to go back to Snow Leopard. I have a 3TB external HD. Are there any issues I need to know about or tips I need to know before doing this? Thanks.

    Downgrade Lion/Mountain Lion to Snow Leopard
      1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer
          loads select your language and click on the Continue
          button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the
          Utilities menu.
      2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status
          of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then
          the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART
          info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on
          the Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions
          from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS
          Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
          partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on
          the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups made while on Snow Leopard, then you may do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion/Mountain Lion files.

    Does anyone know why ?

    It's hidden. Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and supply that path to access it.

  • I can not create an Installer, After install the Vision Builder Demo and then uninstall it. I can not create a Labview installer anymore, it asks me for a Vision Builder Installer, even if My Labview program does not have nothing to do with it...

    I can not create an Installer on LabView, After install the Vision Builder Demo and then uninstall it. I can not create a Labview installer anymore, it asks me for a Vision Builder Installer, even if My Labview program does not have nothing to do with it...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

     Hi Shada this can happen if you are including additional installers to your installer for example DAQmx. When you are doing this the installer has to include other files like MAX (Measuremente and Automation Explorer). Probably when you installed Vision Builder it updated MAX, so when your installer is trying to Include MAX, its asking for the source where it was installed in your computer in this case Vision Builder.
     Here you can cache the information so its not asked again, or you can download a newer version fo DAQmx, so it will update MAX and change de dependecy.
     You can find more details about this issue in this KB:

  • Installing Leopard 10.5.1 and then updating OS

    I have a new Macbook Pro and I need to install Leopard 10.5.1 for software compatibility reasons. I tried doing an install of Leopard 10.5.1 last night but it appeared not to work. Can I install Leopard 10.5.1 and then do the updates on my Macbook Pro? If so, what are the steps that I was missing the first time around?
    Thanks

    Ok, you got me there. Missed that change. There are limitations, however. Here is the Apple KB article about it --> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1948
    Note the warnings at the top of the article:
    Intel-based Macs support starting from an external USB storage device's volume that:
    * Has been formated with a GUID partition type
    * Contains an installation of Mac OS X 10.4.5 or later, or Mac OS X 10.5 or later, which is compatible with (or shipped with) the Mac that the USB device is connected to. Note: You should not use a version of Mac OS X that is earlier ("older") than the version your Mac shipped with.

  • How to install OSX on 2nd HD and get rid of 1st HD?

    (thanks to this forum) I managed to install a second HD on my MacPro (I have to specify that I'm degree below z-e-r-o in hardware...).
    now, my second HD appears on the desktop (it's set for 1 partition in D.U.)
    AND THE BIG QUESTION IS:
    HOW CAN I INSTALL OSX ON THIS NEW DISK AND GET RID (once it's done) OF THE OLD CRAPPY SEAGATE HD?
    I know that it can be 'cloned' (I've read about for that here on the forum) but, is this the best thing to do? or shall I restart from the original APPLE CD? but how to do that...?
    thanks!

    Why is your Seagate "crappy?" Is it not behaving well in some manner? Because if you were to clone, the exact software issues that it has would appear on the clone. If you simply erase and install on the second empty hard drive, none of the other hard drive's software issues would be present. However, I would make sure your data is backed up before installing anything, and attempt to isolate whatever issues you are having first. If there is nothing on the second hard drive, you can go ahead and install and find out if you have the same issues on that drive. Erase and install is one of the installation options from the installation disks included with your Mac Pro. Be careful not to erase and install your original hard drive unless you are totally backed up as my FAQ explains:
    http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
    P.S. in case you didn't realize it, on the internet using ALL UPPERCASE means you are attempting to shout and be rude. Please avoid it so people don't misunderstand you.

  • I had to re-install osx on my mac and thought i would be able to restore my picture library from my ipod , unfortunately I was way wrong if I sync now to my empty library all will be lost...please help..all my newborns pics were in there!!!

    There are several third-party utilities that will let you transfer from the iPod to the computer such as

    And there are others. Also, you will find a user manual for your iDevice at support.apple.com/manuals/.

  • IBook G4 slowing down -- Archive & Install question

    Hello,
    I have an iBook G4, that I bought I believe back in late 2004. It's been slowing down quite a bit and I'm thinking about performing an Archive & Install, which a guy at the Genius Bar recommended would make my performance much quicker and less spinning beachballs.
    I have an Airport, through which I access my internet wirelessly, and printer wirelessly. After performing an Archive & Install, will I need to re-setup my wireless internet and ability to print wirelessly? It's been a long time since I set these up the first time, and kind of dread relearning the process.
    Thanks,
    Ben

    You could try booting into Safe Mode. This will take quite awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk.
    You will see your normal desktop. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar ("Macintosh HD" unless you've renamed it). What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Repair permissions on it.
    See if a little hard drive maintenance helps things out.
    (In the future, you may want to post in the iBook G4 Forum. You have posted in the iBook G3 (Dual USB) Forum.)

  • Installed OSX 10.4.3 And Lost Internet Connection ! Help Please.

    I have posted this in the Tiger forum but know there is a lot of general expertise amongst FCE users (grovel, grovel!) and I only upgraded to Tiger so that I can get FCE 3.5 for this computer!
    I have updated from 10.3.9 (Panther) to 10.4.3 (Tiger) on my eMac.
    Everything appears OK except I cannot connect to the internet.
    On finishing the installation I got an error message saying "Could not load login file".
    Incidentally, during the installation I disconnected all peripherals including my USB Broadband "modem" (I can't remember the correct terminology).
    My "modem" is a "Speedtouch" and in the dock I have an application named "Diagnostics" which has to open to allow the Speedtouch to connect to the internet.
    "Diagnostics" will not open.
    When I look in my Network configurations the Speedtouch name has a red dot alongside and it is not connected.
    If I open Network Port Configurations the Speedtouch name is greyed out and cannot be selected.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Ian.
    PS. Luckily my iMac internet connection is OK !

    Nope! I have nothing resembling a stingray or any other aquatic creature!
    OSX 10.4.3 was successfully installed thanks to the resolution of the above hiccup and I have now downloaded and installed the OSX 10.4.7 Combo update which brings my OS to "state of the art" status.
    I will now be able to install FCE 3.5 - if I can get round to parting with the cash!
    Then we'll see what everyone's talking about.

    The aftermarket memory you installed doesn't meet the specifications for your model (1066 MHz DDR3 SDRAM.) Reinstall the original memory, or install new memory of the right type.

  • I am selling my Macbook and am trying to erase and do a clean install of 10.6. I keep getting an error that says I can't install OSX on this computer and can only restore from a back up. I've tried repartitioning the disk and made sure it was GUID.

    After restoring the disk from a back up, I'm still getting the same error. Why won't it let me erase and re-install??

    Are you using the original gray-faced OS X DVDs that came with the system (if so, what OS X level does it say on the disk) or a retail copy of OS X 10.6 or another gray-faced OS X disk from another system? You can't use a gray-faced OS X disk from, for example, an iMac or MacBook Pro, to install on your MacBook. 
    Was it originally delivered with an OS X level that is greater than what you're trying to install? You can't install an earlier level than what came with the system.
    Did you boot to the DVD, and use Disk Utility to create one disk partition, then reboot and try to install?
