Installing Mac OS 9 into Mac OS X 10.4

please let me know how i can install the software to my Mac OS X 10.4 because i cannot launce the cd, it says that i need to use classic software (Mac OS 9).
how can i install the software and begin using the classic enviroment to install a game.please help.

Hi Marius Rutavicius;
There is SheepShaver that claims to give the Intel Mac a OS 9 emulator. Since my needs for OS 9 went away over three years ago, I have never tried it. From what I have heard it is a bit of bear to install and then when it comes to games it is of questionable value.
The simplest solution appears to be throw hardware at the problem and get an old box that runs OS 9 natively.

  • When I am re-installing the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older Mac I run into the window that says select the disk where you want to install Mac OSX but nothing is there to select

    I am trying to re-install the Mac OSX snow leopard onto an older I mac with a new hard drive.  I run into the "select the disk "where you want to install Mac OSX but there is nothing in the window to select. Any advice?

    After you install a new hard drive, you need to boot to another drive to initialize it to MAC OS Extended (journaled) format and create the partition(s) on the drive. You do this using Disk Utility. Otherwise, the mac operating install process doesn't see a formatted disk to install to.

  • Problem trying to install Mac OS 9

    I've had Mac OS X 10.4 installed for a while on this system but after recently upgrading to a new Mac I thought I'd turn this one into a legacy computer to run all my old software. So I used my Mac OS X install discs to wipe the hard drive and install Mac OS 9 drivers but when I tried to install Mac OS 9.2.1 it just shows a floppy disk icon with a blinking question mark. I've tried a few times, reformatting and making sure I installed the Mac OS 9 drivers again but it still doesn't work. Even tried resetting the PRAM with no luck. I can install Mac OS X fine on the system but the Mac OS 9 disc refuses to play ball. I know the Power Mac G4 Digital Audio came with a system specific version of Mac OS 9 but I was told that Mac OS 9.2.1 should be fine.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    Does your friend's iBook have OS 9 on it? If it does, try starting either computer in target mode (with a firewire cable connecting the two). Then simply drag the OS9 system folder onto your G4. Once the file transfer is complete, open the system folder and double click on the finder and system file. Neither should open, but that lets the computer know they are there. Restart your G4 to see if this works. I would upgrade to 9.2.2 then.

  • Problem installing Mac OSX on my new MacBook hard drive...

    Hi,
    i am beside myself again...(i just visited my local Genius bar this afternoon). Any help would be most appreciated! :o)
    i purchased a 2.5 inch SATA Fujitsu 120GB laptop hard drive for my new MacBook. Followed the awesome* instructions on "how to replace/upgrade hard drive", and took out the original Toshiba HD. What the instructions* failed to mention was that i would eventually need to use a Torx screwdriver (star-shaped) to remove the caddy/carriage from the Toshiba HD. Got that the next day and replaced the Toshiba 80GB with my new 120GB Fujitsu drive..., it slipped into place nicely but i did notice that the Toshiba had four short wires protruding out to the right of the contacts, which my new Fujitsu didn't have... hmmmm...?!
    anyways, tried to install Mac OSX on the new drive, booted up with the install disc... went thru' chosing the language (English), agreed to the second step... but when it came time to install, there was NO icon at all in the box where i am asked where i want to install it!!!
    so i go to disk utilities, and see that my Fujitsu HD is indeed recognized, but none of the buttons in first aid are active... so i can't check it.
    i figured that had to do with the four little wires, so i replaced the original Toshiba and made a reservation with Genius Bar to ask for assistance.
    this afternoon, i explained my problem and was told the four wires have NOTHING to do with it... Lawrence (the genius) told me to (actually, first he said Apple does not recommend my doing this... and that i should go to a 3rd party computer store such as Dino to get help!) go back to disk utilities and partition, then erase this drive and then i will see the icon for this drive in the install box.
    Well i did everything i was told to do and... still, there is no icon for my Fujitsu HD! :o(
    I was able to partition, after which there was a disc0 under the Fujitsu drive on the left side of the disk utilities. When i go to system profiler, and click on ATA... it too shows the Fujitsu drive... but i cannot install because there is NOTHING to click on at the installation step! the "continue" button is not active and only the "back" button is actively mocking me!!!
    i know many of you have successfully upgraded your hard drive... what am i doing wrong? Would a different brand work better? I know Seagate is quite popular, and OWC sells a Western Digital version as well as a Hitachi... do those four little wires make a difference? Would the Seagate come with those wires???
    i am going crazy... thanks, and sorry for the long post, just wanted to let you know what i've done!
    blue skies,
    ps. please feel free to email me at [email protected] if you think that would be better! :o)

    Hi,
    ...after getting back from school, my MacBook was STILL in the process of verifying and "supposedly" repairing... since i was gone for over 10 hours, i finally assumed the drive was either defective or just incompatible, and quit disk utility.
    ...this morning i went out and bought a new Seagate 120GB SATA (they didn't have 160GB SATA drives, only 160GB ultra-ATA drives) 2.5 inch HD. This one DID have those four wires to the right of the contacts... (i don't know how important they are), and after changing and exchanging the Toshiba/Fujitsu HDs, it was a breeze putting in the new Seagate drive.
    Erased > patritioned > and sure enough, the icon showed up and the biggest smile showed up on my face as i finished installing! :o)
    I contacted the original seller of my fujitsu hd (it was a 2.5 inch, 120GB, serial ATA notebook drive) and he was kind enough to say "just pack it up and send it back for a refund!" (minus shipping and re-stocking fees of course! :o)
    Just wanted to mention that, the fujitsu hd WAS recognized by disk-utility and at the bottom left of the window it said that the fujitsu was "GUID partitioned"..., so i am still scratching my head as to why it didn't work?!
    I want to thank everyone that offered advice, it was helpful and i feel more comfortable with my MacBook after this trying and very frustrating episode! :o)
    blue skies,

  • How to make a image file from Pre installed Mac osx ? "PLEASE HELP :("?

    hey guys ..Thanks u for the time.
    So i have this eMac which has crashed and i have got may hands on another eMac.. and it works
    ... the only problem is.. I can take my eMac to the working eMac to do Target Mode or any thing...
    So Help me..
    My question is .. Is there a way to make a .DMG image file from pre installed mac osx OR
    Is there a way to may a recovery disc??

    You can use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy everything from the working eMac onto the non-working eMac while the working eMac is running. If your eMac will still do target mode into the working one, you can download the above software, select the booted drive as the source drive, and your eMac's drive as the target, however it is possible this will not work.
    When you say your eMac crashed, what exactly happened?  It is possible that the hard drive in your eMac failed or is failing, so in order to get it running again you would need to replace the hard drive.  On the eMac, this repair is somewhat involved, and you have to be very careful because it exposes the CRT, which has several areas which can be extremely dangerous to touch if not properly handled.  CRTs retain a great deal of voltage, even when unplugged, sometimes for weeks, and they can give you a nasty shock if you touch them in the wrong place.
    Also keep in mind that cloning from the working computer to the non-working computer will ERASE any data that you have stored on that eMac, so if you don't have it backed up anywhere, you may want to attempt that with target mode before proceeding.
    Good luck!

  • Install Mac OS X on a new SSD

    I am looking at getting an SSD installed on my iMac. If I get the SSD installed, it will have no OS it will be blank. How would I get Mac OS X back on the hard drive?

  • Installing Mac OS X on a 2nd internal Hard Drive

    I just purchased a 2nd hard drive for my PowerMac G5 2.5 GHz machine. I want to install Mac OS X on the new drive and use it as the main drive. However, when I try booting from the Mac OS X (Black dvd disc) my machine won't boot. The screen crashes and I have to hold down the power button until the machine turns off. When I boot from my regular hard drive, I can insert the Mac OS X disc and it operates fine. It just doesn't boot my machine.
    Any ideas????

    Hello Again! If your goal is to use the new disk as the main disk and the current system boot drive is "stable" and is not experiencing any problems then you can clone the old drive to the new one using Kappy's process for making a bootable external since the steps are the same whether it's an internal or external drive. Be sure the drive has been formatted as Mac in disk utility and it's always good to use the zero data option when installing a new drive. Once you have cloned the drive boot from the new one and run it a few days to be sure it's working ok before erasing the old one or deleting all the files on it. You can also use SuperDuper or CarbonCopyCloner to clone with instead of the disk utility. Tom
    Kappy's Steps to Produce a bootable clone
    Prep external FW drive:
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
    4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    5. Select the backup or destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the startup or source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    8. Select the destination drive on the Desktop and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the bottom in the Ownership and Permissions section be sure the box labeled "Ignore Permissions on this Volume" is unchecked. Verify the settings for Ownership and Permissions as follows: Owner=system with read/write; Group=admin with read/write; Other with read-only. If they are not correct then reset them.
    For added precaution you can boot into safe mode before doing the clone.

  • Install MAC OS X always fails

    It just says To setup the installation of MAC OS X, click continue then agree to terms and conditions  select which dick to install to MAC it starts installing then comes up Mac OS X lion could not be installed, beacause the disk MAC is damaged and cant be repaired What can i do to fix this

    If the disk cannot be repaired then that means:
    1. The disk has failed and should be replaced.
    2. The disk is badly corrupted and needs to be reformatted.
    I assume you are running Snow Leopard, so you need to do the following:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. 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.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup

  • Install Panther "Install Mac OS X" will not launch

    I backed up all data on the disk erased and zeroed out and partioned disk. I did this from a seperate HD.
    Booting from a seperate HD running 10.4.8, using the original Panther disks ( don't ask why im reinstalling Panther) i double click the "Install Mac OS X"
    nothing happends, i have trieda couple of different ways, boot in Safe Mode, zaped the PRAM, still nada.
    Is there a diferrent approach to install, go thru each disk and install the various .pkg's? Use a utility like Pacifist.
    I.m doing this because the drive may or may not appear on the dt. disk utility will not unmount disk nor will Tech Tool. Created a disk image as back up.
    The first time i tried this (i did not install), but instead restored using the disk image, problem did not go away thats why i think this might be due to bad blocks or something like that so this time i want to start with a clean install, but i cannot launch the 1st CD by clicking on the install.
    Suggestions please

    Quicksilver 2002 G4 desktop duel 1gig   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   yes

    Hi Steve,
    I wonder why you did such a complicated procedure. Boot from thee install DVD by holding down the c-key. Once the installer has started select "Disk Utility" from the MENU. Reformat/repartition the drive, quit disk utility and proceed with the installation.
    BTW: The Quicksilver is able to boot into OS 9 natively and therefore all present and possibly future firmware upgrades are OS 9 installers only that require you to boot into OS 9 natively. You should consider reformating/repartitioning your hard disk using the OS 9 install disk. This will install the OS 9 hardware drivers and gives you the chance to reinstall OS 9 later in case you ever have to apply a firmware upgrade.
    If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

  • CS3 InDesign won't install, Mac  OS 10.5

    I've just received CS3 Design premium, and InDesign won't install. There is no reason given, just that it won't install. Shared components and Version Cue Server won't install either. I just upgraded to Leopard on a g5 Intel system. Any ideas on what to do next?

    CS3 InDesign won't install, Mac OS 10.5
    Hi Darlene,
    I think I just got lucky - it hesitated a few times then finally clicked.
    One of the previous posters suggested to not install Version Cue, so I
    clicked that one off. Did you repair the permissions and restart before
    installing? Spin around 3 times clicking your heels saying, there's no
    program like InDesign?
    If you can stay in InD 2 I would suggest that, expecially if you use a lot
    of clipping paths. InD3 has a bug there that won't see interior paths, so
    you have to go back into Photoshop to rework the image. If I had only know
    that before.....
    Good luck!

  • Can't re-install Mac OS X Lion

    I am not able to start my Macbook Air – I get the grey screen and revolving circle. So …
    I am trying to re-install Mac OS X Lion via the Command-R utility on start up.
    I am asked for my Apple ID and on entering it I get the message: “This Apple ID has not yet been used with App Store. Please review your account information”
    I then press Review and nothing happens.
    I have logged into my Apple ID on another comuter and have tried to update bits of information so that perhaps it can believe that it's active but to no avail.
    (I would use my Time Machine to restore but I am currently abroad and don't have my Time Machine backup drive)
    Please advise.

  • How do you solve error "You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X.app with this version of Mac OS X" when trying to go back to leopard from lion?

    Local Mac shop said to hold down "c" after inserting disk to get "disk utility" to come up in order to wipe hard drive.  I can't seem to get it to do this.

    This W7 was purchased for using Fusion, as others did - per reviews from amazon.  The technician today called their contact at VMWare - Fusion not officially for use with Lion - even though I read at the VMWare support site that others have made it work.  Apparently my setup doesn't work. 
    Do you know how to do the proceedure for bringing up the disk utility when starting the disk?
    BTW, some of the windows applications I want to continue using are Incredimail, Calendarscope, Stamps.com and a few others I have used over many years.  What do you use for email and calendar?
    Wow, sounds like another reason to not use MS Windows.
    Regarding your Disk Utility question, please elablorate I'm not sure what you're trying to do. Disk Utilty is just that...a utility, it's something most users never have to use especially on a new computer. Let me know what you're trying to do there before I give you some instructions.
    As for as your Windows apps I would recommend using Mail and iCal, both come as part of OS X and are very robust tools. Don't discount the software built right into OS X it's very robust and powerful not all like the bloatware most Windows boxes ship with. Stamps.com well I'd look for another alternative. It's clear they don't support OS X which makes me a little suspicious that they're so behind the times. 
    Also if you have not been exposed to these links before I'd strongly recommend bookmarking them and using them. They're extermely useful!
