IMac 233 problem in bootingup with Extensions on.

Hi!
My iMac 233 is updated with firmware 1.2 and i have Panther running on this machine before. I have upgraded the hard disk to 40 GB. When i tried to boot with CD OS 9, and there is a "?" mark symbol on a disk folder.Then tried with OS 8.5 CD then it booted and I installed by on partition 6 GB.
When tried to boot from Hard disk there is a error message saying "Not Enough memory while using. Turnoff extensions by pressing the shift key while booting" I did the same.It worked fine.
But the problem is when ever I tried to enable the extension i.e. even one extension and turn off rest of them. Still i'm getting the above "error message".
RAM 160 MB
Tried with Virtual memory on and off
Please help me with this problem.
thanks,
yatheen
iMac G3 233   Mac OS 9.0.x  

hi! Ron JACKLE
I finally managed to get a 9.2.2 CD and installed it. But still i'm getting problem while loading. It says "illegal operation restart the computer and turn off the extensions by pressing the shift key." When i did it works but without extensions I don't knw whats the problem.
When i try load by pressing "C" 8.1 and 8.5 CD are booting. but from hard disk it says to turn off the extensions. But when i try to boot with Mac OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 there is a floppy with a question mark on it.
When tried to boot from Panther CD it say to restart the computer and hangs.
As long as i turn off the extensions there is no problem.

  • IMac 233 problem

    I start my iMac 233 G3. The screen show firmware prompt.
    When i restart my mac and hold the C button Mac OS 9 boots and every think seems to be fine. The harddisk is recoznied and able to access all my files. but with out CD the screen shows firmire propt instead of the Smiling mac or a folder with "?" flashing.
    I tried giving command Mac-boot then message is displayed
    DEFAULT CATCH!, code=300

    What is the total capacity of the HD? Partitions and their capacity?
    If there is a primary partition or the entire HD capacity greater than 8GB, you can have problems like that.
    It is an iMac issue with the early tray loaders and the built in ATA-3 controller.
    Anyway, a fix will depend on your replied information.

  • Character with extension display-problem

    Dear all,
    I have forms10 in a UTF8 environment, using JPI technology with JRE 1.6 I'm able to write letters with extension, letters are well saved in the database, but the problem I'm facing is that I'm getting the letter not well displayed in forms, they are displayed as ( خ ۆ ) instead of having it as follow ( خۆ )
    is there anything that can be done?

  • 10.1.3 problem with extensions.

    C:\jdev\1013p\jdev\lib\ext\bc4j_junit_addin.jar!\meta-inf\jdev-ext.xml
    I have general problem with extensions in the new developer preview.
    At start up time, they all give error messages like this.
    Error: <Line 3, Column 21>: XML-24534: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
    Error: <Line 22, Column 14>: XML-24521: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'
    C:\jdev\1013p\jdev\lib\ext\junit_addin.jar!\meta-inf\jdev-ext.xml
    Error: <Line 3, Column 21>: XML-24534: (Error) Element 'feature' not expected.
    Error: <Line 66, Column 14>: XML-24521: (Error) Element not completed: 'extensions'
    JDeveloper starts OK, but the extensions don't work properly. JUnit appears in the New... menu, but doesn't display any sub-items. Jalopy (the newest one) appears in the preferences page, but causes the code editor context menu not to display.
    I've run jdev.exe but there are no additional messages in the console window.

    Hi Jim,
    Are you dropping 9.0.5 extensions into 10.1.3? You need to get 10.1.3 compatible extensions. Also, there are now two separate locations for extensions:
    ${jdev.home}/jdev/lib/ext : for "backward compatible" jdeveloper extensions (extensions from 9.0.5 and prior will probably work if dropped here, but may be affected by API changes... usually those extensions will need to be recompiled against the 10.1.3 extension API)
    ${jdev.home}/jdev/extensions : for new JSR-198 compliant extensions.
    For JUnit, it's best to either install using Help->Check for Updates..., or download the 10.1.3 zip files manually and extract them into ${jdev.home}/jdev/extensions. The bc4j junit extension will not work in the 10.1.3 preview, because there is no ADF.
    Thanks,
    Brian

    I have problem with recently with playing DVDs on my iMac. the problem only with DVDs, please anybody can help me solve this problem?

    Get a lens cleaner disc. One with brushes and try that. CDs and DVDs use different lenses, so since CDs load and play, I strongly suspect a dirty lens.

  • Every time when I shutdown my 24"iMac, it will start up with a corrupted HD need to be formatted and restored. Anyone has the same problem?

    Every time after shutting down my 24" iMac, it will end up with a corrupted HD which cannot be fixed by disk utility and require to reformat the HD and restore.
    I noticed the Mac OS journal format will turn into no journal. Does anybody have he same problem?

    I have to ask; Are you using the Shut Down... menu item in the "apple" menu to shut down?  Does it shut down normally when you do?

  • Imac having problems with USB connections

    My Imac keeps intermittently losing connectivity with USB devices.
    Frequently, after the machine has been sleeping it fails to recognise the USB pen drive -  which I tend to leave plugged in. Also, on several occasions it's lost printer connectivty. ( which is connected via USB cable)
    Rebooting cures the problem but this is a complete pain!
    Is there any way to force the machine to simply rescan available and connected hardware?
    it's got to be ultimately embarrassing that this is something that Windows does–surely my Mac can too!

    Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem  & the Startup right after that for clues.

  • 2006 iMac running OS10.7.5 with File Vault problem stops boot up?

    2006 iMac running OS10.7.5 with File Vault problem stops boot up?  Upon login this message appears: Your home folder, which is protected by File Vault, didn't open. it needs to be repaired.
    It then asks:  To repair the folder and continue logging in press OK. To log in as a different user, click Cancel login.
    Clicking Ok
    You are unable to log in to the user account "xxxxxxxxxxx" at this time.
    Logging in to this account failed because an error occurred.
    When I click cancel to log in as different user I get he following message: You are unable to log in to the user account "xxxxxxxxxxx" at this time.
    Logging in to this account failed because an error occurred.

    This condition is quite difficult and time-consuming to recover from. If the procedure suggested here is too complicated for your experience level, get help from someone more experienced. One option is to make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store. Legacy FileVault should not be used under OS X 10.7 or later.
    If you have another user account with administrator status and can do so, log in to it and skip to Step 4.
    Step 1
    Boot into Recovery mode. The OS X Utilities screen will appear.
    Step 2
    Select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. In the window that opens, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens. Select your boot volume if not already selected. Pull down the menu labeled Select the user account and select
    System Administrator (root)
    Follow the prompts to set a password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    Step 3
    At the login screen, click Other... Enter "root" (without the quotes) in the Name field, and enter the password you set in Step 4 in the Password field. You should now be logged in. Do nothing while logged in as root except as indicated below.
    Open the Users & Groups preference pane. Create a new user and check the box marked
    Allow user to administer this computer
    Restart and log in as the new user.
    Step 4
    Load this web page in Safari.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    sudo dscl . -delete users/fubar HomeDirectory
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the TextEdit application. Paste into the window (command-V). Substitute the short name of the FileVault user for the word "fubar".
    Triple-click the edited line and again copy to the Clipboard.
    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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window. When prompted, enter the password of the user you're logged in as.
    Step 5
    You should now be able to log out and log in as the FileVault user. Your files still won't be available. FileVault is inactive.
    Locate the disk image file named "fubar.sparsebundle" or "fubar.sparseimage" at the top level of your home folder. Again, substitute the short user name for "fubar".
    Step 6
    Try to open the file. If it won't open, try to repair it in Disk Utility. If it still won't open, restore it from your most recent backup. Keep trying older backups until you find one that works. If you don't have a backup, the data is lost, perhaps beyond any hope of recovery. There's a slight chance that you might be able to repair the disk image using an expensive third-party application called "Disk Warrior."
    Step 7
    Copy the files from the mounted disk image to the corresponding subfolders of your home folder. The Library folder is invisible in the Finder. Open it by holding down the option key and selecting
    Go ▹ Library
    from the Finder menu bar. Open the copy on the disk image by selecting
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    and entering
    /Volumes/fubar/Library
    in the text box that opens. Again, substitute the correct name for "fubar".
    Log out and log back in.
    If there isn't enough disk space available to complete this step, unmount the disk image, copy the disk image file to an external storage device, delete the original, and try again.
    Step 8
    Back up all data, then delete the disk image file.
    Step 9
    Delete the user you created in Step 3, if applicable.
    Step 10 (optional, but recommended)
    Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "Disable the root user."

  • After installing Mavericks (from Mountain Lion) on my iMac 20"  mid 2007 I cannot read musical cd on the internal drive neither on external. No problems at all with my macbook air.

    When I put a musical CD into the reader (no matter if it is the internal Matshita or an external drive) the system write a message like :" this computer cannot read the disk" (in italian "il disco inserito non è leggibile da questo computer").
    I have also a macbook air : no problem at all with the same CD and the same external reader.
    Please help me.....

    Followup: on a business trip. Booked ahead for Genius Bar appointment. Fixed in half an hour. His hardware test found nothing wrong with the MacBook. He flashed Mountain Lion onto the laptop with no hiccups. Right there in the store the MB connected to iCloud and I had all my personal information back. Back in the hotel room it only took me 3 hours to fully reinstall all my purchased software over the hotel's wired LAN from the App Store and third party sites, without needing a single DVD like in the bad old days. Even re-installing MS Office was painless. I just searched with Google, then the MS page I clicked on served up a form with my information on it automatically and sent me an email with the product key when I clicked download. Obviously their server recognized this device. I cloned the MB to a small PassPort backup portable external hard drive and then used the MacBook normally  in meetings next day. Very impressive service. We've come a long way from portable computing two decades ago.
    Still a mystery why the installation would not complete at home, but problem resolved.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the behest of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in 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.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Imac Superdrive problem

    Ok im a newbie so forgive me. I have a imac running osx version 10.75 
    Bought new in 2009 with dual  intel process.   The problem i am having is with the superdrive.
    It will read most cd/dvd's but one of them it will just spit it back out. I originally thought it was a problem with the disc, but it reads just fine on other imacs and macbooks. As well as other windows machines. The disc itself is recorded in a .VOB format, inside a VIDEO_TS folder. I thought the problem was the file extension, so i downloaded VLC player and installed. Still no change. I insert the disc and after 5-10 seconds the disc ejects
    Can anybody help????

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

  • IMac 233 1998, upgraded to OSX, brownout, now won't start up.

    Hello. Our bicycle collective received a gift of a 1998 Blue iMac, I believe it's the 233 MHz, not sure if it's regular or 233/B.
    It came with OS 8.5. Most unwisely someone decided to install OSX 10.1.5 without researching it beforehand. It ran the OSX for a while until a circuit breaker lost power. Since then the iMac won't start from either the keyboard power button or the computer power button.
    I believe it came with 4 gigs of hard drive space, is this enough for OSX? Should we get an external USB hard drive?
    I'll be back there tonight to check it out, I found out about the reset button and I'll try that.
    Does anyone have any suggestions.
    The specs on the iMac when we got it:
    OS 8.5
    Two memory slots currently 32+128 + 160 megs memory
    CD only tray
    Production date 11/28/1998.
    Also has a built in modem (I'm assuming a standard 56k modem hard wired - can this be converted to wifi?)
    2 (two) USB slots and a firewire(?)some other small square input slot.
    Thanks,
    Arthur

    Hi,
    First where are you located?
    Then you should go here for info on your machine:
    http://www.lowendmac.com/imacs/index.shtml
    depending on if it's a rev A or B. I think you can tell by looking at the graphics chip.
    As to the startup issue:
    "Logic Board Battery
    The battery on the logic board controls the stored system settings,
    such as date and time. It is important to note that the battery does
    not affect power at startup."
    but then in manuals for the slot loaders they said to check the battery if there were dead at start up issues. Hee hee.
    Also:
    "The Cuda Chip
    The Cuda is a microcontroller chip. Its function is to:
    • Turn system power on and off.
    • Manage system resets from various commands.
    • Maintain parameter RAM (PRAM).
    • Manage the real-time clock.
    Many system problems can be resolved by resetting the Cuda chip
    (see the Symptom/Cure tables for examples). Press the Cuda
    reset button on the logic board to reset the Cuda chip. (The Cuda
    reset button is located on the back edge of the logic board between
    the modem port and the processor module. Refer to the Logic Board
    Diagram in the Basics chapter for location information.) If you
    continue to experience system problems, refer to “Resetting the
    Logic Board” later in this chapter.
    Troubleshooting General/ Resetting the Logic Board - 11
    Resetting the Logic Board
    Resetting the logic board can resolve many system problems (see
    the Symptom/Cure tables for examples). Whenever you have a
    unit that fails to power up, you should follow this procedure
    before replacing any modules.
    1. Unplug the computer.
    2. Disconnect the cable that runs from the power supply to the
    power filter board on the bottom side of the logic board/mass
    storage chassis.
    3. Press the Power On button on the front of the unit.
    4. Remove the logic board/mass storage chassis from the unit.
    5. Remove the battery from the logic board.
    6. Wait at least 10 minutes before replacing the battery.
    7. Make sure the battery is installed in the correct +/-
    direction.
    8. Reassemble the computer and test the unit.
    Note:
    This procedure resets the computer’s PRAM. Be sure to
    check the computer’s time/date and other system parameter
    settings afterwards."

  • IMac 233 upgrade to 333

    Hello all. I have a great Bondi Blue iMac 233 running OS 9.2.2 with 160 MB of ram and 4GB HD. My question is, since the 233 is a tray load model like the 333 and are both very similar in design, can it be upgraded to the Apple Mac 333 MHz tray load processor with a simple exchange of processors? Are there any jumper settings that need to be reset? Or, does the entire pull-out tray/logicboard assembly need to be exchanged for such an upgrade? If it can be a simple exchange of processors, that would be great. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks advance Socalmac

    Socalmac,
    I have a great Bondi Blue iMac 233 running OS 9.2.2 with 160 MB of ram and 4GB HD. My question is, since the 233 is a tray load model like the 333 and are both very similar in design, can it be upgraded to the Apple Mac 333 MHz tray load processor with a simple exchange of processors?
    Here are the part numbers for the Processor Card:
    661-2201, 333 MHz
    661-2165, 266 MHz
    661-2193, 233MHz, Rev. 3
    • 661-2112, 233 MHz, Rev. 2
    • 661-2077, 233 MHz
    • replaced by 661-2193
    And here are the logic board versions:
    661-2061
    661-2113, Ver. 2
    So I don't think you'd have trouble exchanging say a 333 into a rev 3 logic board but might see problems in a rev 1.
    Never done this but I think the only thing is to try it. The trays are pretty squirrely so no telling. I have seen bad processor boards on the trays that I've never seen on the slots.
    Are there any jumper settings that need to be reset?
    Not that I'm aware of. I thing it all happens on the CPU card.
    Or, does the entire pull-out tray/logicboard assembly need to be exchanged for such an upgrade?
    Now fur sure that's not a problem.
