Is it possible to allow classic support in Mavericks?

I have an iMac that has been running OS X 10.6.8 for a while, but I just updated to OS X Mavericks (10.9.2). I also have an iMac G5 install disc with OS X 10.4.2, that came with another disc that installs OS 9.2 (for Classic Support). I am wondering if it is possible to support the Classic environment (OS 9.2) with Mavericks?

No, it requires a PPC processor and OS X up to. 10.4.11.

Does 6120 classic support TV out from the AV 2.5-m...

Since there is a outlet called "AV connector" on the Nokia 6120 classic, is it possible to use the Nokia AV cable "CA-75U", an accessory of N95, to output video footages to TV ? I would Love to purchase the CA-75U if it has this function. Thanks for any advices.

Korngear, I beg to differ: the 6220 classic supports TV out and has a 2.5mm AV out, the cable comes with the box.
As for the 6120c however, there is NO TV out support, as Psychomania said, the hardware to output video is missing.

Can't seem to re-install Classic support

I have been preparing an old PowerMac G4 to give to a friend.   I erased the hard-drive and did a clean install of Tiger, and updated it.   I'm now trying to re-install Classic support (so I can occasionally go to her house and run one of my OS9 apps, since I can't seem to find Chubby Bunny to get classic support on my new/old Intel machine :-(
I thought all that was necessary was to copy an OS9 System Folder onto the hard-drive.   (I actually made a small separate partition when I erased the hard-drive, although I doubt this was necessary).   I copied the System Folder from a "Mac OS9 Install" CD that was in the original set of discs that came when I bought an older G4 new.   I think the discs are probably OSX 10.1, but the OS9 disc seems to be 9.2
Anyhow, when I try to fire up Classic mode, I get a message somehting like "this system software can only run on the original media, not if it is copied to another drive".     I assume it's referring to the fact that I have copied the System Folder from the CD to my hard-drive.   And if I leave the OS9 CD in the drive and point Classic to it (which would be a poor long-term solution), it complains that it needs to update the Classic resources and the volume is un-writable.   Kind of a catch-22.
The weird thing is, I successfully did this once before, when I bought (used) this same G4.
Thanks.
P.S. Please let me know if I should put this in the OSX Tiger forum instead.

It could not find the other partition of the my main HDD (where I'd hoped to put OS9), nor could it find the smaller HDD at all.   It refused to install it on the root partition anyhow, without doing a clean install and nuking OSX.
Evidently the problem was that I didn't check "install OS9 drivers" when I formatted the smaller HDD - even though it said "this will not affect Classic".   So I re-formatted it and checked that, and now it allowed me to install OS9.2 on it, and now Classic works fine.   It still refused to recognize the smaller partition of my main HDD, which is where I really wanted to install it.
Thanks all.

Can't find Classic support on Tiger DVD

I need help. I recently purchased a used 17" powerbook. I wiped out the hard drive and installed the Tiger DVD, and everything works fine... but I can't find anything that installs Classic. Can I install the Classic Environment from the Tiger DVD? Or do I have to use my old Panther CDs to install Classic on the laptop. My two other Macs, a G5 (with Tiger) has classic working. However, they originally had Panther and then I just upgraded to Tiger. How can I get Classic back?

Apple does not advise installing OS 9 for Classic support from any source other than either the original disks that came with the Mac or (in some cases) with a retail version of OS 9. If your OS 9.2 disk is a stand alone retail installer (not an updater for OS 9.0 or 9.1) it should work. Your Panther disk will not, unless it is a model specific version for your model.
The exact method of installing OS 9 varies greatly depending on what disks you have. Please be as specific as possible about this -- the source of the disk(s), if they say they are bootable, if they are for a specific model, etc.
By far the easiest way to do the install is with the original disks for the PowerBook. You should try to get them from the seller to avoid a lot of hassles.

Can't install Classic support in 10.4.11

Hi. I recently reformatted the HD on my iMac and re-installed 10.4.11. I now realize that I need to run an OS 9 app in Classic but I'm having trouble re-installing support for the Classic app. Following instructions elsewhere, I'm using the disc "Software Install and Restore (Includes Apple Hardware Test)" that came with my iMac. On this disc there is an installer for Classic support. However, when I run this app from the disc (without re-boot from disc), eventually I am prompted to insert the very disc that's already in the machine. Ejecting and re-inserting the disc doesn't do anything. And when I re-boot from the disc, the only choice I'm given is to re-install 10.2 using either the "Archive and Install" option or the "Erase" disc option. I don't like either of these options, particularly since it's not even clear that I'll be able to then install Classic after doing all that, not to mention having to re-install everything else again!
Any suggestions are how to get Classic support installed? Note that I cannot boot from an OS 9 disc on this model of iMac. Thanks, m

Hi, gracebug. Installing and using OS 9 for Classic mode does not require OS 9 drivers to be installed. They're only needed if you want to start the computer up in OS 9, which isn't possible with your Mac anyway.
See whether these articles help you get Classic support installed, and let us know how you make out:

Classic Support in Tiger and Leopard

Hi,
I have a PowerMac G5 (PowerMac 7,2 XB35028YNVB) and would like to know if it's possible to install OS9 Classic support for this system.
I currently have Tiger 10.4.10 that was installed from a retail cd. It did not come with the system and did not come with classic installed. (Ebay special :-S )
I want to know if I can get the original cds sent to me, or if a retail OS9 cd will suffice.
Also, if the retail cd will do the trick with Tiger, will it also work for Leopard (I'll be upgrading soon)
Many thanks
-James

Is it possible to allow the user to highlight specific label in the GUI.

i have an existing GUI tt allows user to key in records of information eg, patient records in a hospital system.
and display them based on wat the user key in for the patient's id no:
is it possible to allow the user to highlight label in the GUI.
Label as in information like Illness:<Red>Cancer<Red>
for tt customer only.
and re open the file to have the color still there.
i serialized my vector of objects into a file, and have the gui to retrieve them upon execution.
color wise i m lost.
one solution is to have a corresponding Color attribute to each of my other attribute in all my other classes.
besides this, any idea how to do it?
i also did a search on java map..
couldn't really find sth useful abt it..
seems like few ppl know how to use it well..
API doesn't seems to show how i can use it to reach my objective.
anyway, i hope the user can highlight A attribute of a record and not highlight the entire record..
tt's why i find it soo cumbersome to have another Color object created for each atttribute.
eg:
patientId, patientName, etc.....
thanks in advance

Several Swing components understand HTML tags, eg JLabel, which is VERY useful, as in the previous example.
Are you asking "how do I highlight a field" or "how do I make it remember the color it has"?
As Color is itself Serializable, why not store your data in a Hashtable not a Vector?

Is it possible to allow use to type entry into a drop down list box ?

Hi ,
Is it possible to provide type in the value option ( provide option to user like he can select a value from the extracted data in a drop down list object and also he can enter a value manually ) to a drop down list box on an interactive form ?
Nanda

Hello Nanda,
In the Adobe LiveCycle Designer you can specify several list items for objects of type 'Drop-down List' and it is also possible to allow custom entries (checkbox: "Allow Custom Text Entry").

Is it possible to allow the user to revoke its own it resource?

Is it possible to allow the end-user to somehow revoke its own resource?
What would be the correct approach if he decides that he doesn't need access to a specific system and decides to terminate his account ?
Thanks for any insight.
Adriano.

One way by creating dummy resource, he will raise a request but no approval will be triggered (if you want then you can modify).
In the provisioning workflow call the OIM APIs.
Second approach I have to look into it.

New iMac G5 but no classic support in Tiger?

I have just bought a new iMac G5 20" with the latest Tiger 10.4x. When I want to install a peripheral or Quark from my old Os 9.2.2 it say "I do not have a version of Mac Os9 installed that supports classic or later." in the pop up window. I hit the ? button and it tells me to install from disc 2 the support files. When I do that it tells me there is nothing to install.
A greyed out icon appears in the menu bar. A widget appears in the widget bar.
I checked the startup disk to see if mac os9 was on it ,it's not.
Do I have a dud install 2 disk? The icon is only an alias for os9 support files.

What constitutes "compatibility" is partly what you mean by the word.
From Tiger's built-in dictionary:
"• (of a computer, a piece of software, or other device) able to be used with a specified piece of equipment or software without special adaptation or modification"
By this definition, all recent Macs (except servers?) up to but not including the Intel-based ones are compatible with Classic, at least to the extent that installing the included Classic support is not considered a "special adaptation."
I think most people would consider something like SheepShaver quite a special adaptation: from what I can tell, it requires both an image of the PowerMac ROM & a copy of the Mac OS, which I presume are not included with Intel-based Macs. I also note it claims only to offer a "varying degree of functionality" with listed systems, among them "Darwin/ppc," but no specific reference to Darwin + Intel support. The only Intel CPU reference I see is to "Linux/ia32 (AKA x86)" so I'm not sure this emulator really should or could be considered a replacement for Classic in OS X/Intel systems, even in a limited way.
If you know otherwise, I'm sure that info would be of great interest to readers of this thread.

Does ipod classic support HD tv shows?

Does ipod classic support HD tv shows? When I try to sync a HD TV show, I get a message saying that my device does not support this type of video. Any suggestions?

It would seem the error message should have given you the answer already. The iPod classic does not support HD.

Loading 9.2 onto Panther w/classic support

Anyone Know the procedure for loading the 9.2 power book system disk onto a pismo w 10.3 panther (W/classic support) already in place. I erred in trying this before. I overrode the 10.3 by trying to reinstall 9.2. I need to know if I can do this because I'm out of system 10.3 disks. Thanks to anyone who can help or direct to info on this. John

John, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Just boot using the OS 9.x install CD. Your current Panther system software is located in a folder named System. When you install OS 9, it will be in a folder named System Folder. The installation of OS 9 will not affect or override the Panther system. If you wnat to be able to boot into OS 9 (rather than run OS 9 in classic mode), you must have the OS 9 drivers installed on your hard drive. You can check to see if the drivers are installed by looking at the About this Mac>More Info>Hardware>ATA.
What OS 9 CD are you using? A retail version - white with an orange 9?
What was your previous problem in installing OS 9?
 Cheers, Tom

Is that possible to allow the Good Receipt on customized return Mvt Type

Hi All
Is that possible to allow the Good Receipt on Customized movement Type, Reference string for these movement type is 601
and these customize movement type has bee flagged for reveres movement type indicator under Internal Control and Under Update control consumption Posting is set as G "Planned consumption"
Thanks in advance

Hi There
As per the STD SAP,,
601 Goods issue for delivery (SD)
This movement cannot be entered manually. It is created automatically in SD using the function "Goods issue for delivery".
The quantity is taken from unrestricted-use stock.Possible special stock indicators: E, K, Q
You could have copied the 602 istead of 601,,
However if you are planning for the receipt (Returns from customer) you can use the Mov type-651,, if you want to have diff Acc assignments, you can copy this to Z movements,,
Hope it helps
Thanks

Problem installing Classic Support on Tiger

I'm trying to install Classic support on my iBook. The install appears to complete. It says it did anyway.
When I double click on a classic app I get this error:
"The Operation could not be completed.
An unexpected error occurred (error code -1)."
There also seems to be no preference panel for Classic like there should be.
I'm thinking that the install actually did not complete but I can't figure out why.
I saw this in the install.log file when I tried installing it but I don't know if it is relevent:
"Package Authoring Error: Infinite loop between <choice> attributes and mixed state aborted."
I tried repairing permissions but it didn't appear to do anything.
Anyone have any ideas?

Problem Installing Classic support in Mac OS X v.10.2.3

Hello!
Sorry for my poor english.
I got a PowerBook G4 (15 inch)
And Mac OS X v. 10.2.3 installed on it.
Some program tells me that it needs Classic enabled to start.
Then I go to System Preferences to Classic
And there's a messsage
"There is no volume with a system folder that supports starting Clssic"
I were confused. I did reinstall all the system to split the hard drive in two partitions. But that doesn't help me.
After this. I search the internet for the solution.
According to this article
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh763.html
I should insert "Additional Software & Apple Hardware Test" disk, but i haven't got anything like this.
I've got:
Apple Hardware Test (PowerBook G4) Disk
and
PowerBook G4 15 inch Software install and Restore Disk
I deside to insert "Software install and Restore" disk. There is a package "Install Applications and Mac OS 9". I run it. It installs the Restore utility. After that, restore utility autorun. I tell that i wish to restore Mac OS 9, and after a while the programm tells me, that "there's an error type number 45 on copying".
After this, i'm decided to copy whole inserted disk to PowerBook as an .dmg file and try to install from it. Copy process done successeful, no read errors. But the installation process ask me "PLease insert the disk market like this" and picture of the part of the disk with two circles, exactly i have on the "Install Applications and Mac OS 9" Disk.
So, what should i do to enable that Classic Support on my Mac OS X v.10.2.3
And more of it. What is the message
"There is no volume with a system folder that supports starting Clssic"
and what is System Folder and is there any way to make it somehow?
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Thanks a lot!
Last 10 days was my first deep intrusion into Mac OS intrails...
About disks i have, yes, it's original disks. There's no scratchs or dust on them. The copied fine in IBM PC, disk to disk, with no errors. How i tell before, there's a problem that restore application tells me that tehre's an "error type number 45 on copy". And i can't solve exactly this problem.
Also, I found another one solution in internet. Sorry, this solution is in russian, but i will try to traslate it later
http://www.mikeosx.com/faq/faq.html#Anchor-49575
This solution tells:
1 step:
Start install you Mac OS X from install disk
2 step
Split you hard drive into two partitions with Disk Utility application before you will procide to install, And don't forget to set "OS 9 Drives" (or something like this)
3 step
After installation was complete. Restart you'r Mac.
Insert disk marked "Repair" (or something like this) than go to "/Volumes/iBook Restore CD/.images"
"iBook Restore CD" you should change to whatever you disk is labeled.
In that folder (directory) you will notice file OS9General.dmg
Mount this disk image
4 step
Open your empty partition (not the one you installed Mac OS X)
Select all the files on mounted OS9General.dmg and copy them to empty partition.
Thank You "eww" ones more, for your suggestions. I hope that i will win this round "Me vs Mac"
