Imac firmware for installation of mac os 9.1 - Please Help

We cannot get Mac OS 9.1 installed on our imac powerpc g3 333. When we try to install, we get a firmware not appropriate message. My OS Boot ROM is 3.0.f10 but I don't know if that is the same as the firmware version. Anyway, we downloaded firmware 1.2 but we could not find the application named "imac firmware updater" so all we did was to stuffit expand the bin that we downloaded, and then double clicked the expanded file, and all that happened was a quick window popped up and said "verifying" and then nothing happened. We still cannot install 9.1 because of the same firmware error. Are we required to do that trick with the paperclip pushing the reset button by the usb port? Or is there some other action we need to take? The firmware error message says that the firmware I need is in the "CD extras" folder on the install CD, but there is no firmware there, nor is there any firmware updater program there. Pretty sad aint it? Happy holidays from Ron and Diane

Hi, dheconsl -
...a quick window popped up and said "verifying" and then nothing happened.
What should have happened after the verifying screen disappeared was the appearance of a new icon along the right-hand side of the desktop, where drive icons are shown. This icon is of the mounted disk image. Open that disk image, and inside you'll find the installer for the firmware update.
It's a good idea to print out the instructions, contained in the readme file that accompanies the installer.

    I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
    Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
    For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
    Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
    If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
    Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
    There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

  • Adobe Premeire Pro Installation Failed - Application Manager Corrupted.  Please help!

    Hello all,
    I just recently purchased a subscription license for Adobe Premeire Pro CS6, and tried to download it following the instructions in the confirmation e-mail.   After installing the application manager and downloading, extracting, and installing the program, I received the error message seen in the image below, "Installation Failed - Adobe Application Manager is corrupted and must be reinstalled".  
    So of course I googled it, and found that this was a pretty common problem, and found one site that recommended re-installing the AAM with the following link:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/download-error-403-launching-aam.html
    So I did that too.  In addition to restarting my computer, and also tried to download the program directly bypassing the AAM following the instructions on this page:
    http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
    All of which was unsuccesful.   I've got a video for my Mom's 60th birthday that I HAVE to complete this weekend, and Adobe's support is closed on the weekends.  I didn't think installing something from a company like Adobe would be this difficult.  Makes me wish I had a Mac.    Can anyone PLEASE help me get Premeire (and Encore) downloaded and installed? 
    Any help would be hugely appreciated.   Thanks,
    Erik

    Hi Jeff,
    I am experiencing the same exact problem and am unable to resolve it.  I've called Tier 1 support (Indian Call Center), and went through all the steps that I have already done myself (as outlined above) with no luck.  I'm still getting the corruption error. 
    I am using Parallels Workstation Extreme and it is being installed on a Virtual Machine.  The "Extreme" part of Parallels Workstation allows me to assign a discrete graphics card to the VM.  This is uing Intel's vt-d technology for Directed IO.  You mentioned above that you had fired up an instance of Windows 7 64-bit and it worked just fine.  But for some reason, I am unable to duplicate the same success.  The case is now being escalated to "higher" support.  Here is my setup:
    - Parallels Workstation Extreme VM - Windows 7 64-bit
    - Subscription to Creative Cloud
    - Clean Install does not work
    - Not a part of any domain, just workgroup
    - Home PC, so it connects directly to a router and then to Cox (ISP)
    - Has direct assignment of a Network card, meaning the network card is not a bridged connection (the VM gets it's own NIC)
    - User account is already Administrator, but tried to "Run as administratot" with no luck.
    - After install on the clean Windows didn't work, tried using the Adobe Cleanup Tool - doesn't work either
    - Disabled all start up programs from msconfig - doesn't work
    - Verified that the (.exe) does work, but coping the same (.exe) to another computer and it works.
    I would really appreciate any advice that you may have!
    Thanks Jeff!

  • HT204150 Following problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!! 

    ollowing problem: I have around 600 contacts on my iphone and Ipad and would like to sync with contact list on my mac book air but its not working and whatever I do I get stuck on the 44 contacts I have on my mac  contact-list. Please Help!!!!  thanks

    First, be sure that the contacts on the devices are in the "icloud" section and not the "On my iPhone" (or iPad) section of the contact listings/groups.
    Missing contacts:
    Here's a test to perform - using a computer's browser, log into icloud.com and go to the Contacts page.  If most of them are gone, then they are gone. 
    If they show up, then the problem is that your device is not connecting to the Contacts database on icloud. 
    On the device, go to Settings>icloud.  Be sure icloud is on and using the right ID.  If not, scroll to the bottom of the page and tap Delete Account - this just disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost.  Then log back in using the correct ID.  ALSO - be sure the Contacts are turned on (on the same screen).
    Note:  Contacts are not part of an iCloud backup, since they are part of contacts database on iCloud's servers.   So performing a restore will not help.
    Contacts are gone from icloud.com.
    Then they have been deleted.  There are many reasons for this.  One possibility is that someone else is using the same iCloud account (family member, etc.) and they deleted contacts, thinking they did want them on THEIR device.  How to get them back?  Unfortunately, an iCloud backup does not include any of the sync databases, like contacts, notes, calendars, reminders, etc. because the data is already stored in these databases.  Your only hope for restoring the data is if you had that data on a computer (like a mac's Contacts, Calendars, etc.) and that data was backed up using whatever backup software you typically use (e.g. Time Machine on a mac).  Just restore the data files back to the computer.  Other than that, I'm afraid the data is gone.
