On the screen that appears, select your language and click Continue.
From the Utilities menu select Disk Utility.
Select your hard drive volume on the left.

I'd like to buy a G3 Mac Desktop! "Need help Choosing which one!"

Hey Apple community its me again with a new problem.
after fixing a ibook G3 Clamshell, i've been longing for the simpler days when OS 9 was the best you could own.
so i'm posting this same question in all discussion that apply.
i'm currently using a eMac usb 2.0 running OSX 10.4.11/OS 9.2.2 and its great but i still love the feel of OS 9 its self.
so now i'm asking you guy for help tracking down the best G3 Mac Desktop in here and in various G3 laptops in their discussions.
And thanks guys!

Get a copy of this program Mactracker.app
http://mactracker.ca/
I have version 5.3 which works on 10.4.11.
There are some machines what will run Classic but will not install from the independently sold 9.x cd. You have to install via the restore discs that came with the machine. There may be a workaround if you have Classic with all the updates applied on another machine. You can copy over via target disk mode or swap harddrives.
iMac g3
you can also run classic on the first iMac g4.

HT1349 After installing windows 8, I have no sound on my mac desktop. Need help?

Hi,
I recently installed Windows 8 and after the installation there is no audio (sound) in my iMac. I can't hear youtube videos, mp3 files, no nothing.
Suggestions to solves this problem?

As you sure that you don't have system sounds muted? If you have sound in the music app, then system sounds are muted.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Does Firefox support video teleconferencing using a MAC desktop? I need to establish a home office with Skype or a video teleconference online...

My system is a MAC desktop with wide screen. I need to be available for video teleconference appts between Montana and Seattle. MAC products support this need. I want to know if Firefox has a program that I could be using for video teleconferencing.

To make MPEG video, MPEG-1 still being very popular on the interweb, use Toast. DivX is another fave, Toast does that too, actually has an export button on the video page to do that.
To do MPEG-1 you use the video tab and the VCD setting. Make the VCD save as a real CD or better an image. Mount the image and drag the file called AVSEQ01.DAT (or very similar name, the DAT file) to the desktop.
That is a proper MPEG-1 file you can rename to Movie.mpg if you like and you should, for others to understand.
In MPEG Streamclip you can edit/cut/trim it if it is not just right and then export to MPEG again and you are done.
Note you can do MPEG-2 by making a DVD then mounting THAT image and dragging off the VOB files that have numbers in them, open the lower numbered one in MPEG Streamclip , it will offer to open them all, fix timecode errors and you can cut and trim that too, and export as MPEG. MPEG-2 this time, rather large for the web though.

I want to use my Mac desktop as a portal for viewing my cable television via some kind of cord. Is this possible and what do I need to set this up?

I want to use my Mac desktop as a portal for viewing my cable television via some kind of cord. Is this possible and what do I need to set this up?

It can be done with analog but not digital thanks to "good 'ol" HDCP copy protection which apple (and most other manufacturers) unfortunately respect.
So you can take the analog output from your cable box (component -- 5 cables -- if it has it but generally they all have composite -- 3 cables) and feed it into some kind of converter or into some appropriate pci card for your mac pro. But none of them are going to let you directly use the HDMI output from the box to your computer.
Bottom line, no single cord is going to work and it will never be the higher quality digital picture you get on your tv.
Some qualification: There are boxes that I think support hdmi input. Look at Blackmagic. But I still don't think you can get around the HDCP from the cable box (might depend on the kind of cable box).

Need to move iTunes library from external hard drive to Mac desktop.

I moved my iTunes library from my Mac desktop to an external hard drive. I needed to do this so the Apple Store could do maintenance work on my computer and I didn't want to lose my files. How do I move the iTunes library back to my Mac desktop?

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

Is X-windows and GUI desktops supported on the ODA "engineered system" running a RAC database? If it is, what is the yum command needed to install the X-windows, Gnome, and KDE package groups?

Is X-windows and GUI desktops supported on the ODA "engineered system" running a RAC database? If it is, what is the yum command needed to install the X-windows, Gnome, and KDE package groups?

While I agree with the direction of the suggestions with installing packages for X-windows, we do not have a blanket 'apply any package' recommendation.
In particular we do not support altering the kernel (although we do have exceptions which we review on a case by case basis).
Basically, if the you want to alter functionality that would not impact core functionality you are usually fine.
A good guideling is : The more dependencies that there are between the package / rpm you are considering using the higher the potential impact on functionality - meaning higher chance for problems
Note: We do use VNC including Real and Tiger regularly , but we have no hard recommendation on how you may want to use X-windows. I have never seen a limitation other than comments on bugs
or incompatibility within the X-window product itself with certain kernel levels.
Patching may overwrite some packages that you may install, however, _depending on packages/rpms added_ there is also the possibility that you will break existing functionality to the point
that patching itself will fail ( we have already seen a few cases of this in which case the proper mitigation is to remove / roll-back any alterations to the ODA before patching, and then adding the packages/rpms
back after the patching is completed.
From what you are discussing the impact should be low without conflicts, but please consider the above, and if you have specific packages which you consider potential problems
please create an SR so that we can review packages / rpms on an individual basis.
Once again: the main criteria for not supporting rpms is regarding the kernel itself

Hypesuh I would recommend reviewing both Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html and Creative Cloud app doesn't open and hangs on spinning progress wheel - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-app-doesnt-open.html as it appears both documents are applicable towards the difficulties which you are currently facing.

Is Adobe Photoshop cs3/10 still being supported? Mac crashed and need to get up and running again.

Is Adobe Photoshop cs3/10 still being supported? Mac crashed and need to get up and running again. Thank you for any info on cs3. mayord

I believe if you were to ask Adobe Support they would tell you that CS3 is no longer supported by their services, if that is what you are refering to when you say "being supported". That means they are not likely to offer assistance with you re-establishing it.
But you can probably re-establish it yourself. If you need to download it there is a place for that available:
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

Yes, though if the drive is formatted as NTFS, Mac OS X will not be able to write to the drive without you either installing third-party NTFS drivers or reformatting the drive.

I have an older Mac desktop, version 10.5.8. I need to reinstall Image Capture. Help, please.

I have an older Mac desktop, version 10.5.8. I need to reinstall Image Capture. Help, please.

Do you have the original gray system disks that came with the computer, or a full retail install disk set for 10.5? If so, you can use a utiltiy:

to extract just Image Capture from the disk and install it. Otherwise, you would have to reinstall the entire OS

Do you plan on supporting 64-bit Mac desktop applications and ANEs with the captive runtime?

I was wondering if Adobe plans to support 64-bit Mac desktop applications and ANEs with the AIR runtime using captive setup?

hi there!
the disk in my Mac desktop need repairing.
the Disc Utility is asking me to start the computer by running the Mac OS X TIGER installation disc and then repair the disc.
my question is;
by running the disc MAC OS X TIGER in order to repair it do i run the risk of downgrading the actual operating system of Lion to Tiger (which is 5 years old)?
thanking you in anticipation.

so it meas that i will be downgrading 5 years back if go ahead and do it?
No, don't do that. As Dave said, if you're running Lion, use the Recovery HD (partition, actually) that should be on your internal HD already. See Using the Recovery HD for details.
