Leaping from 9.1 to 10.4.6 and classic won't start

I cannot get 9.1 to get past the Welcome page in Classic mode on 10.4.6 (just installed). I can boot 9.1 on its own. Can I install 9.0 onto the machine and upgrade to 9.2? Is 320 mgs of ram sufficient to run classic on 10.4?

Re: installation of Tiger on a G4 running OS 9.1
I installed Tiger on a G4 running OS 9.1. Even though my system folder contains "Classic" and "Classic Support," I now find that I cannot bring in any of my old OS 9.1 files. When I attempt to bring in 9.1 files, I get a panel stating:
"You have Mac OS 9.1 installed. It's recommended that you upgrade to OS 9.2."
After I click on "OK," I view a "Mac OS 9 startup window" with a thermometer showing the progress by a blue line. The blue line grows to about 1 mm of its total 78 mm maximum, but shows no progress beyond 1 mm, even after an hour or so.
I assume that IF my system folder contained OS 9.2 I would be able to download my OS 9 files.
MY ATTEMPTS TO UPGRADE TO OS 9.2 HAVE THUS FAR FAILED. I have downloaded (for free):
OS 9.2.1 at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120030 (82 MB),
and OS 9.2.2 at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75186 (21.3 MB).
The icons for these updates now appear on my desktop.
However, clicking on the icons brings up INSTALLER icons. Clicking on the installer icons results in the panel described above with its frozen thermometer.
I described the above problem over the telephone to an Apple consultant. He thought that my hard-drive was probably defective and that I should:
a. save vital stuff on the disk,
b. reinitialize the disk, and
c. reinstall the saved stuff plus OS 10.4.6.
Unfortunately all this failed to change the behavior indicated above. I still can't access my OS 9 files.
I should greatly appreciate receiving any suggestions.

Classic Won't Start from OS 10.2.8

Hello all,
I am having a problem with one of the machines in my office. Classic just won't start. I tried rebuilding the desktop and repairing permission but, to no avail. I can restart the machine from the OS 9 folder wihout a problem but from OS X classic will attempt to start and then hang. No startup screen nothing.
In a word....HELP.
Thanks

OK this isn't a permenent fix but it will work so you can open up Classic Applications and Files.
1. Go into System Preferences.
2. Under the System Section click the Classic Button.
3. In this window that comes up click the Advanced Tab at the top.
4. Inthe drop down select it to "Turn Off Extensions"
5. Now click "Start Classic"
It should start up fully and now you can go about opening any Classic files or Applications.

New MacBook Air backed up from my Time Capsule. Now Mail and Safari won't open, I just bought a new MacBook Air and backed up from my Time Capsule. Now Mail and Safari won't open

I just bought a new MacBook Air after my old one suffered a drink being spilled on it and died. I used migration assistant to back up from my time capsule but now it won't open Mail or Safari and iTunes can't find all my music. Any ideas how to fix this? I have downloaded software updates.

Thanks for that advice however now I have a duplicate of all my documents on my hard drive but the Mail and Safari will not open. I have been able to open iTunes. I have tried to download software updates for Mail and Safari and this tells me that the download was unsuccessful ( after taking some time to download). Can I reinstall the system? Would that help?

If you are stuck on the Apple log you may need to restore.
Before you do, try this
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears
If that doesn't help, restore:

Not sure what is going on. My contacts are importing names from Facebook that I have not approved. It won't let me delete some contacts. What's wrong?

Not sure what's going on. After upgrade there are contacts being added to my contact list from Facebook. Go to delete them and it won't let me delete them. Getting very frustrated. Need help.

Use your Settings app.
Settings > Facebook > turn off contacts.
Check to make sure calendars is also off so all your friends birthdays won't show up on your calendar.

Looking to make the leap from Windows XP Media Center 2005 to a new Operating system

Looking to make the leap from Windows XP Media Center 2005 to a new Operating system that supports Microsoft Publisher 2002, Word 2003, Excel 2003, Power Point 2000 and Picture Manager 2003. Need to make the leap since some of my other software is requiring
a system software upgrade to upload any other upgrades (Garmin for example). I ran windows 8.1 software compatibility check and know this software will not work on 8.1. Does anyone know if this software works on Windows 7, 7 Pro, or Ultra?

Hi Paul,
You may take a try with Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, download and run the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor to see if your PC is ready for Windows 7. It scans your hardware, devices, and installed programs for known compatibility issues, gives you guidance on how
to resolve potential issues found, and recommends what to do before you upgrade.
You could download it from here:
Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor.
If you want to upgrade Windows XP to Windows 7, you may follow the guide below:
Upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7
Besides, I would agree with what Team Zigzag suggested, run Windows 8.1 and create a Windows XP virtual Machine, then run the applications from there.
Best regards

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only. However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is alr

Generally when creating a Word file from either a Mac or Win7 pc and opening it on two different machines (either one first) it always prompts that the file is open and will be opened as read only.
However opening a CSS file does not prompt that it is already open on or from any machine which is causing code edits to be lost.
What we found from out testing:
- The file can be saved from one user to the server and WILL NOT PROMPT on other machines until the saving machine has the Dreamweaver program closed completely
- The file can be closed and Dreamweaver minimised to the launch bar but it still will not register on other machines that it has been changed.
- Also, until the Dreamweaver program is closed on the machines, it will continue to open it's saved version of the file.
Example Scenario:
- User 1 opens test.css (which is 2000 lines) and adds some code to the end of the file to bring it up to 2500 lines
- Meanwhile User 2 opens test.css as well (opens as 2000 lines as User 1’s edits have not yet been saved) and adds in code to bring it to 2300 lines
- User 1 saves his file and closes it - but Dreamweaver is still open.
- User 2 also saves his file and leaves Dreamweaver open.
- The server will report the size and last edit of the file the same as User 2 as he was the last person to save it (and if you open from the Win7 Machine it will show as User 2’s 2300 line version)
- If User 1 then open's the file again (from either the 'recent' in Dreamweaver OR clicking on the file directly in Finder...which version opens.... The version that User 1 saved! Not the true version on the server, but the version that User 1 edited and saved with 2500 lines in it.
- Same for User 2, he will open 'his' version with 2300 lines in.
Other information:
- Files are opened directly from the server
- Sometimes the users will save incrementally and re-open
- Most of the time users will save incrementally and keep the files open
- The users will never not save incrementally and just save when closing the file once finished
- The users are usually working on the files all day
- It is always the bottom lines of code that are lost. It could be a case of the two versions being mixed up and cutting off the newly added lines based on the line count (possibly).
It is as if Dreamweaver is holding a cache of the version locally and then only properly looking back to the server when it has been completely closed. It is very difficult to see how the server is causing such an impact on these files, there are very few logs which are giving any indication to the root cause of the problems.
Anyone know if this is a known issue?
Is there a way that there can be a featured implemented on the server that doesn't allow another user to open a file if it is already open on another machine?
Thanks

Your server file handling has nothing, and really nothing to do with Adobe software. If files don't get locked for (over-)writing and/or lose connection to the program opening them, then your server is misconfigured. It's as plain and simple and that. Anything from "known file types"/ file associations not being set correctly, MIME types being botched, crooked user privileges and file permissions, missing Mac server extensions, delayed file writing on the server, generic network timeout issues and what have you. Either way, you have written a longwinded post with no real value since you haven't bothered to provide any proper technical info, most notably about the alleged server. Either way, the only way you can "fix" it is by straightening out your server and network configuration, not some magic switch in Adobe's software.

HT1477 When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display turns off and working freezes. Please help me.

When i disconnect my iPod 2nd Gen from my laptop, its display goes off and working freezes. Please help me.

The computer freezes? There may be something wrong with the USB port. If the laptop has more than one port, does this happen on any port? If you are disconnecting the shuffle cable from the computer, does it make any difference if you disconnect the shuffle at the other end of the cable first, then disconnect the cable from computer? Or if you currently disconnect the shuffle from cable first, try it the other way.
You may be able to work around this problem, if you get a self-powered USB hub. Something like this one
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/NewerTech/USB2HB7PRO/
There are many choices, but be sure to get one that has its own power supply. You can leave the shuffle cable connected to the hub, and connect the shuffle to the hub, instead of directly to the computer. This may provide a "buffer" for whatever is causing your laptop to shut off when the shuffle is disconnected. Since the hub has its own power supply, it will not rely on the computer for power to re-charge the battery.

Hi, so I pushed autofill because I thought that it would put music on my phone from a different iTunes library but it didn't work, and now the songs show up grey in my music on my phone and they won't play, but they are still there. What can I do?

Go back to iTunes, select the Music tab, uncheck the 'sync music; button, then hit apply.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv. I've been unable to locate an app that will do this.

I want to make a slideshow to view on my television with image's duration ranging from seconds to an hour or more and I want to use my iPhone or iPad mini to control the television through my Apple tv.
I've been unable to locate an app that will do this. The Photos app that comes with the phone or iPad has extremely limited duration controls. PhotoStream seems to load everything from my phone or iPad not allowing me to just load up a set group of images.
iPhoto for iPad is getting some terrible recent reviews. I tried a couple other free apps but they don't use Airplay.
I can do something like this with iPhoto and my MB Air, but it's kind of ugly to have the computer open in order to connect by Airplay to my Apple TV. I've thought the iPad or iPhone would be a lower profile controller.
Am I out of luck?

Thanks for your help. Since I'm uninterested in loading all my photos (the only option) into photostream, I won't be able to use the settings in ATV. I guess I'm just stuck with using iPhoto on my MB Air. Thanks again.

I'm try to buy a movie from iTunes with my I pad 3 and it tells me there is not enough local storage and when I go to my local storage there is a lot on free storage I also restarted my ipad but still the same prob what do I do?

5GB is typically not enough space to download a movie. Often, movies take from 3 - 5 GB to begin with. The only option you have is to delete more things from your iPad. You can remove unused Apps, pictures, music, text message (messages with pictures can take up a lot of space), email messages, books, magazines etc.
