Issues with getting OS9 onto my Powermac G4

I bought a quicksilver powermac G4 the other day to run OS9. It had a clean install of 10.4 on it and no matter what I do it will not boot from my OS 9.2.1 disc.
I've tried holding "C" when booting, holding "Option" when booting and selecting the CD from the boot menu, and going to system preferences > startup disk and selecting the CD as the startup disc. Nothing has worked.
When I try to run the installer from the CD it gets about 90% done and then I get this error

I've heard that I might not have the right firmware to run OS9, but I don't know how to check what version I have, nor do I know which one I need.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi, Crosset -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
The issue is primarily one of which Quicksilver model you have -
Article #TA25585 - Power Mac G4: How to Differentiate Between Models (part 2)
The first model series of Quicksilver machines can use a retail (white label, large gold 9) OS 9.2.1 Install CD. They can not, however, use a Software Install CD for OS 9.2.1 which came with a different model Mac.
The second model series of QuickSilver, the 2002 models, can not use OS 9.2.1 from any source; the only way to install a bootable OS 9 on those models is by using the original disk set that came with them, which installs a model-specific version of OS 9.2.2.
When installing OS 9 (any version), if you run into difficulties try disconnecting all externals except monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
OS 9 can not be used for booting from a volume larger than 200GB.
When booted to an OS 9 Install CD, if the hard drive is not visible to the installer nor visible on the desktop, this indicates that the drive has not had OS 9 drivers installed. A default install of OSX does not necessarily install OS 9 drivers.

  • I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s

    I am having a issue with getting data useage alerts for my iphone 4s from AT&T.  I do not download anything huge at all.
    I looked into it and figured out that the phone dials out nightly at 12:29am every night.   I went into my settings and went to general..about..diagnostics and useage..then diagnostics and useage data to see this.  I then clicked don't send...but I am still getting useage alerts.  Can anyone help me please...
    Thanks

    Honestly, from reading the thread linked, they all come off as a bunch of whiney people that cannot be bothered to help themselves.
    Little to nothing in that thread indicates an issue beyond inept consumers.  Yes, I read several pages on the incessant gripes.  Very few made any actual attempts to troubleshoot issues before whining about the "Apple issue" and those that did actual troubleshooting got their issues resolved.
    So no, Apple has nothing to fix beyond a few specific devices that are experiencing hardware issues.
    If you have actually put forth effort and done the basic troubleshooting, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.  Whining will get nothing accomplished.

    I have been having a issue with getting the colors on my monitor to match the colors fro my print lab. I now have the monitor calibrated to match the prints but when I open elements it doesn't use the same colors. If i have it use the calibrated profile by changing the color management settings, the color picker no longer shows true white or black. How do I get elements 12 to honor the new calibrated settings?

    Ok so I've done what you said and this is what it's come back ....
    I don't know that these are the errors , but they're the things which don't look right ...
    Throughout the shut down there is a recurring line ;
    It says ;
    Com.apple.launchd 1 0x100600e70.anonymous.unmount 301 PID still valid
    Then there are 2 more which I think are related ;
    Com.apple.securityd 29 PID job has I overstayed its welcome , forcing removal.
    Then the same with fseventd 48 and diskarbitrationd 13
    Oh and on Launchd1 : System : stray anonymous job at shut down : PID 301 PPID13 PGID 13 unmount...
    Then the last process says "about to call: reboot (RB_AUTOBOOT).
    Continuing...
    And stops ...
    Hope this means something to you ... Thanks again for your help so far :-)

  • Anyone had or having issues with getting nVidia NVS 450 resolution to work?

    Hi all,
    We got a new C20 with a nvidia NVS 450 card--and a ThinkVision monitor. The C20 had Windows 7 preinstalled; the out-of-the-box resolution was 640x480 and we couldn't get it to go higher than that! The ThinkVision and the video card are connected using the DisplayPort cable that came with the unit. After reinstalling the video card driver that came with the unit (on a CD that contains drivers for Windows and Linux), we could never get the resolution to go beyond 640x480. We gave up thinking it must be some quirk with Windows 7. We were going to install Linux on the C20 anyway, so we moved on doing that.
    We installed Fedora 14 (64-bit) installed the nvidia video driver that was on the CD and can't get the display resolution greater than 640x480. After a few days of trial-n-error referencing various online forums, we managed to get the resolution up to 800x600, but not the expected 1900-something resolution the ThinkVision and the video card supports.
    Has anyone had issues with getting the video card resolution to work? If so, were you able to resolve the problem? We thought we'd toss this here instead of calling up Lenovo support first because usually with technical issues, we get more intelligent replies than over-the-phone. Also, waiting for replies on a forum is less frustrating than being put on hold over the phone.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you for your reply.
    I was lucky to get a hold of another monitor and when I connected that, I got the full resolution. After much testing, I determined that it was a faulty monitor and it had nothing to do with the video card. I eventually got a replacement monitor for the one that wasn't giving me the full resolution.
    Afterwards, I went ahead and got the latest nvidia drivers from their Web site. Everything works really well now.

  • Issues with getting the slide button to work after upgrade to iOS 7.02 and 7.03

    Ever since upgrading to iOS 7.02 and 7.03 having issues with getting the slide button to work to open up iPad 2.  Happened last week and was able to restore it to new and get it to work again and it worked great until one week later (this morning) doing the same thing.  Have tried restoring iPad to new 3 times (via itunes) and still unable to get the slide button to move so can use the iPad.  IPad able to charge, able to restore, able to sync with itunes even able to recover but not able to get past first screen where you have to slide to access iPad.  Any help would be greatly appeciated.  Live about 300 miles from nearest Apple store.

    I am beginning to wonder whether there isn't some weird problem with that Home button.
    Try this: Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch = On
    This will place a button on the iPad's screen.
    You can move this button anywhere on the screen.
    This button gives you - amongst many other things - a soft Home button.
    To turn your iPad on, you can use the Sleep/wake button or move a small magnet across the bezel of the iPad where the volume controls are.
    If you use the magnet, then: Settings > General > Lock / Unlock = On
    Now should not need to press the Home button anymore.
    If this method allows you to use your iPad without a hitch, then suspect hardware problems with the Home button.

  • Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Director

    Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Directory, can anyone help me with this!

    Hi Jason,
    Try this:
    1.  In Ultiboard select Tools>>Netlist Editor>>Pins, press the Delete button
    2.  Select all nets in the Select the Net to Delete dialog and then press the Delete button.  This will clear all nets in the layout, don't worry all traces, parts are still on the design.
    3.  Go to Multisim and select Transfer>>Forward annotate to Ultiboard.    This will add all nets that you removed back and it should fix the pin problem

  • Issue with getting an MP4 onto my iPod

    So I've been trying to get an MP4 onto my iPod, but whenever I try to put it on, I get a message saying it won't play on my iPod so it doesn't get put onto it.
    My iPod is an iPod Video, so I would assume that it could play MP4s considering the file opens perfectly fine in my actual iTunes.  I set the dimensions to be 853 x 352 since those are the dimensions of the other movies in my library that work perfectly fine on my iPod, but that didn't work either.
    Anybody have any ideas what I might be doing wrong? I've been trying to figure this out for almost 4 hours now...

    Hi if you will explain your problem in more simpler manner it will be best to track an issue.According to my understanding have to make modelLocators data bindable with dataGrid/ or you can try to replace ArrayOfBaseData with ArrayCollection.
    You have to ensure that modelLocator collection should be instantiated.
    var arrColl:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
    Thanks.

  • H-REAP Issues: Clients get dropped onto Native VLAN on one AP

    Hi,
    I have a wireless deployment consisting of 2 WLC's centrally located in two data centres, with WCS managing the WLC's.  There are currently two sites with wireless.  Each site is it's own AP Group with different SSIDs at both sites.
    The site where I am having an issue with H-REAP has 48 AP's installed across a number of floors.
    The problem I am experiencing is that when clients get associated to one specific AP, they will successfully connect to the SSID, but are getting dropped into the native VLAN (VLAN 23) instead of the VLAN (VLAN 22) that is mapped to the SSID.  The clients get an IP address from the native VLAN and can access the corporate network, but due to firewall rules they cannot get access to some key corporate assets, as the native VLAN (VLAN 23) is not included in a specific firewall group for wireless clients.  Clients connected to the same SSID but on a different AP are getting dropped into the correct VLAN (VLAN 22).
    The switchport configuration for the one AP that is having issues is specifically below:
    interface GigabitEthernet5/47
    description *** Wireless AP ***
    switchport access vlan 23
    switchport trunk native vlan 23
    switchport trunk allowed vlan 22,23
    switchport mode trunk
    spanning-tree portfast trunk
    spanning-tree bpduguard enable
    spanning-tree guard root
    However, this configuration is the same across all AP connected switchports.  The switchport is trunking correctly:
    show int gi5/47 trunk
    Port        Mode             Encapsulation  Status        Native vlan
    Gi5/47      on               802.1q         trunking      23
    Port        Vlans allowed on trunk
    Gi5/47      22-23
    Port        Vlans allowed and active in management domain
    Gi5/47      22-23
    Port        Vlans in spanning tree forwarding state and not pruned
    Gi5/47      22-23
    I have attached a screenshot of the AP configuration from WCS.  As can be seen, the AP is configured for H-REAP, with the Native VLAN set, and the SSID-to-VLAN mappings also set.
    I have tried doing a configuration reset on this AP and re-configuring it from scratch, but it still exhibits the same behaviour. 
    Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do to resolve this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    I have built an interface of the 2106 for VLAN5 and the interfaces for the 2106 and the bridges are built as trunks and all vlans are allowed. If I plug in a laptop on the 3560 in the new building, and the port is assigned to VLAN5, I get an address and can surf out just fine. I will scrub the 2106 & 3750 configs and try and upload them. To further test I moved the DHCP scope onto the 2106 and my wireless client is able to get an address from the 2106, I can ping the interface on the 2106 (192.168.5.2) I just cant connect to the 3750 switch.

  • Issues with getting to side displays and closing apps

    Maybe someone else has had a similar problem or can help advise:
    I am on a Windows 8.1 Asus Laptop with a second monitor.  
    Up until about a week or two ago other than some resolution issues (assume may be my video card) all was ok with Windows 8 and 8.1 update and I was liking the new functionality (like anything new may take a few min, but once you know how things work all
    is good).
    My problem is the following: starting about 2 weeks ago and is only with my main monitor (My secondary monitor works exactly like it should)
    - I can now no longer close apps by clicking and dragging at the top of the screen.  Now I need to get to the X button however, I can not get to that X button without clicking on another application which I can only due going to my second screen.  I
    have tried going to the top right corner, clicking, holding, ect the top bar does not show up
    - On my Laptop's main monitor I can no longer get the side Start bars to show up (one on the left shows open apps, the one on the right has the search, Share, Start, settings, ect).  
    Did Microsoft change something in an update that could have caused this issue?
    Is anyone else having this same issue?
    Any clue why functionality would work on my secondary monitor and not my primary monitor?
    Any suggestions or even key shortcuts that I can use to get to these necessary bars without the mouse that I can use till issue is resolved?
    Thank you.

    in the case of the AMD catalyst that i have myself you can try detect displays whenever catalyst is opened and also disable itc processing to give your Microsoft certified drivers quality control.
    Nvidea has similar options but it is important to know the more you change on the windows options level and driver levels can lead to many issues with a limited understanding.

    Hello,

    Hi paul,
    You can try a few more things to rule out the iPhone as the cause of the issue.
    If you have a protective case on the iPhone, try testing without it.
    Make sure the iPhone is updated to the latest version of iPhone software, currently 2.2.1. You can also try restoring the iPhone to rule out issues with the software on the iPhone. This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 will walk you through updating or restoring the iPhone.
    If the issue persists, make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

  • Issue with getting sequance number from db in EO for a primary key column

    Hello Experts,
    we are working on ADf 11.1.1.2.
    we are facing issue with sequence number in our UAT instance.
    dev instance and sit instances did not gave any issues.
    We have one EO in that for one attribute we have given the value as
    new oracle.jbo.server.SequenceImpl("XXOZF_QA_CODE_S", object.getDBTransaction())).getSequenceNumber()
    in order to get the primary key column value from db sequance .
    <TransientExpression><![CDATA[(
    new oracle.jbo.server.SequenceImpl("XXOZF_QA_CODE_S", object.getDBTransaction())).getSequenceNumber()
    ]]></TransientExpression>
    now the issue is "I have incremented the sequence number through SQL plus from 10 to 20. And created a record on a VO which is based on above EO.
    But the sequence iam getting is 11 instead of 21."
    This is happening only in our uat instance all other instances are working fine.
    Can any one tell us how this frame work is still pointing tho the old sequnce number.
    regards
    Gayaz

    Also make sure that your sequence has NOCYCLE option.
    some thing like this:
    CREATE SEQUENCE test_seq
    START WITH 1
    INCREMENT BY 1
    NOCACHE
    NOCYCLE;
