Mac OS 9.0.4 on a 333MHz g3

Hello,
Ihave some mac os 9.0.4 imac dv software restore cds and was wondering if I could reinstall that on a 333mhz imac g3. will that work? THX

Dear Mac Guy, quite apart from Striders very correct statement, you are trying to load an OS from a disk that is designed for a slot loading iMac onto an older tray loading type - this can occasionally work, but could also leave you with an unusable system. It is of course your choice..

  • US Postal Service Click-N-Ship label problem

    Hi guys. I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a fix.
    I like to use Click-N-Ship to print my mailing labels with, and while I get a printable label with it, the barcode comes up missing when I view it in Preview.
    When I borrow someone's machine that has Acrobat Reader on it, the barcodes show up.
    My question is, is there anything that I can do to Preview to have the postal service's labels show up correctly on MY machine without my having to download the Adobe product?
    By the way, I showed this to our postal clerk, she told me they'd work without the barcode, but the code would have to be input manually because it can't be scanned. Naturally, if time is of the essence, it's to my advantage if the barcode shows up!
    Thanks to any and all in advance for your help.

    Another clue: when I tried a label on my home computer, I get indicia or bar codes. My home computer has never had Acrobat Reader on it. My work computer, from which I printed the original label, has both Acrobat Professional and Preview. I wonder if Acrobat corrupts Preview in some way to where it won't read the barcode fonts. I've even trashed the preferences for Preview on my work computer, and it still won't read them. They do come up in Acrobat.
    I wonder if the problem is that Acrobat and Preview don't play together nicely?

  • Can't select my fonts with my font family window

    Hi gang,
    I need help figuring out what I need to do. When I compose a New Mail document, I have Fonts that I can click and a separate window comes up and I can change fonts if I want. Well, I used to be able to! Now when I click the Font button I get a blank window with nothing but sizes.There's nothing in the Family section. I can't make anything italic or bold unless I use the key commands.
    For normal typing it's not a big deal since I do have my default font. But when I copied and pasted a section from Wikipedia, I can't even change the fonts to match my default font, because when I select the passage of course no fonts show up in the Fonts family window. Is there a way to get this back to normal?
    Any helpful feedback would be appreciated. I'll check back tomorrow.

    Hi Iris,
    I know this sounds dumb, but in the Collections
    column of Fonts do you have "All Fonts"
    highlighted?
    Some of my "Collections" don't have any corresponding
    "Families" therefore no list of fonts - only sizes.
    Regards,
    John
    Hi John,
    Thanks for responding to me, I appreciate it very much. There is no "Collections" column, so I don't have anywhere to select "All Fonts" on my Fonts palette. Like I explained, all I have are two sub-windows: one says "Family", and the other says "Size". There are four icons above the two sub-windows that show underscore, strikethrough, color of letter, and color of document. Below the two sub-windows is the search window. So, I don't have anywhere to select "All Fonts".
    It wasn't a dumb question, it just seems to not apply to me! Thank you for even trying though...

  • Downloading movies?

    I've already downloaded a few movies, but I have basic DSL so it takes a little over an hour to fully download. I heard you can watch the movie as it's downloading, but at what point? Is there a specific spot where I am allowed to start watching the movie?

    I know this might not be specifically helpful, but I think an hour to download a two- to three-hour movie is a bit much. I think it should be 30 minutes tops, and you should check and see if spyware isn't being loaded onto your machine to drag the time down. On the other hand, imagine if you were still on dial-up, like me, you'd have to download them overnight!
    I can't even remember how long it took to download "Ugly Betty", which is about 45 minutes without commercials; seems like it took between 5 and 10 minutes to download them from my faster work computer, then 5 minutes to burn to disk to take home to my home computer.

  • Printer Error with Shared USB printer

    Greetings;
    I have just installed my HP 7760 on my new G5, and I am attempting to print via shared usb to my G3 Imac which is running 10.3.9 I have used this setup lots in the past but with both MAC's running 10.3.9, Now all I get is "Print Error"!
    I can see the shared printer on the G3 and select it on the G5 but it just results in a print error when I attempt to print.
    Any thoughts would be most helpful

    Hi Greg;
    Many thanks for your interest in my problem. I have done the following;
    1. Installed the latest drivers from HP on both machines
    2. Removed and then added the printer.
    3. Repaired permissions on both computers and restarted.
    This seems to be related to 10.4.3 as I have read some references to this in other threads. Prior to the G5 with 10.4.3 I was printing with the G3'es under 10.3.9 using USB sharing with no problems. I have no problem printing from either computer when the printer is connected directly and I can see the shared printer in printer setup and have no problem selecting it however I am still getting the "print error" when printing to the shared printer.
    I am going to try one more experiment, I no have the printer connected directly to the G5 with printer sharing turned on. I will try to print to it from the G3and see what happens. I will post the results when complete.

  • Performance Question from Upgraded BW

    Hi!
    For awhile I have ran my machine with these Specs:
    - Blue & While G3-400 / Upgraded to Sonnet G4-500
    - Western Digital 80GB 3-Partitioned-(OS 10.3.9, OS 9.2.2, & For Xtra Files)
    - Radeon 7000 64MB (Was PC, but flashed for Mac)
    - 768MB RAM
    Now in my Beige 333Mhz (latest ROM; correct VRM module) -
    - I was able to overclock the G4-500.
    But in the Blue and White, I can't.
    I followed the correct jumper settings for the G4-500. But couldn't bring it up at all.
    Plus, I ran the most updates for the ATI card. From the ROM to control panels.
    But I just have a feeling, I'm still not quite getting the full extent of what I could be running.
    Could anybody give me some insight as to what is REALLY expected from the system I'm running???

    Overclocking depends on the exact chips you happen to have on your board. Sometimes you can do it quite a lot, sometimes not at all. The guy next to you using parts that are nominally identical may get wildly different results.
    The processors and other parts are all made using the same process. Once the silicon has been processed with all the patterns, doping, glassifying, metalizing, etc, the parts are tested. Some will not run at all and are discarded before they are even sealed into packages. The very fastest ones -- found on the same hunk of silicon as slower ones and dead ones -- are labeled with the fastest speeds. The one you have may have just passed the test, the next one may have exceeded it enormously, and both may be labeled with the same top speed.
    In addition, it's not just the processor chip you are stressing. The Bus/memory controller chip (Grackle, MPC106) and the memory may respond differently at a different rate of access.
    I am sure you know you have to use two different charts to set the jumpers in the two different computers. The Bus in the Blue & White runs at 100 MHz speeds, and the beige is only 66 MHz -- that may make some difference.

    hope someone can help?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    No, I do not believe it is possible to use the older iMac as a display screen for the mine. This does not mean that it hasn't been done, but just not to my knowledge.

  • Can I Run 333Mhz ram in a power mac g5 that uses 400mhz?

    Can I Run 333Mhz ram in a power mac g5 that uses 400mhz?

    No; RAM which can't keep up with the computer's bus will be ignored. Faster RAM will work as long as it's able to operate at the speed the bus requires.
    In any case, ensure that the vendor advertises compatibility with your Mac model.

  • Can I install Mac OS X 10.3(jaguar) on a Tangerine iMac G3 333mhz

    I was wondering if the Jaguar Mac OS X 10.3 installation disks that I have for an eMac will work on an iMac G3 flavored edition 333mHz computer. Or is there a separate version for this particular iMac? I have it running 10.1 now, but need Safari for the internet. HELP!!! I am not a complete idiot when it comes to macs, but not sure about this as the installation CDs say it is for an eMac.
    Thanks to everyone who answers!!!
    iMac G3 333mHz   Mac OS X (10.1.x)   Clueless, well a little bit of a clue

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    10.3 =Panther, not Jaguar.
    10.2 = Jaguar.
    I was wondering if the Jaguar Mac OS X 10.3 installation disks that I have for an eMac will work on an iMac G3 flavored edition 333mHz computer.
    No. You can't install the gray disks from one Mac on another Mac of a different model or vintage.
    The Tangerine iMac has some limitations:
    1. Firmware must be upgraded while booted in 9 or 8, or your display will go permanently blank:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
    2. If you erased 9 or 8, and you find you need a version of 9 or 8 installed, you will need to install the drivers before installing 9 or 8.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75275
    which will probably require wiping your hard drive.
    3. Hard drives over 8 GB need to be partitioned.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106235
    4. Hard drives over 120 GB need to be partitioned as well:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
    5. No Firewire means backing up is a pain, and very slow.
    Jaguar that will work after the firmware has been updated looks like:
    Panther which will work after the firmware has been upgraded looks like:
    Considering the difficulty, and your noviceness, I'd say, stay where you are until you can afford a newer Mac.

  • The dreaded ? and alternating Mac logo folder

    I recently won quite a few macs from an auction from public school district, emacs and imacs from 2001-2004 range. For security of course all the drives were cleared. I am quite experienced on pc's as I am a technician at our local cable company, but when it comes to macs I know just enough to mess things up. But we troubleshoot both, so I would like to learn more about them. I plan to set these up at my church as a computer lab, but not sure where to start. I have 2 sets of boot up discs that are labeled imacs, but neither the imacs or emacs will boot when holding c down at boot. These were in a seperate box though so not sure they even go to the computers I got.
    What I have read about and done so far:
    Followed instructions online about finding the hd (that was fun)to make sure there was no physical damage, the district didn't touch it physically, on 2 mac laptops tha came w/ they just took a drill and drilled through the hd. So no physical damage to hd.
    Next, I did the pram reset and got the ding it says, but no change on next boot
    Next, I found an article on the open firmware and got into it, and I was like cool(finally a break) something that looks like dos, I can work with this. And I found some artice telling me to change the boot device to X but that didn't work either. And looks like a whole nest of hornets when I started reading about all the stuff that can be done in OF. I found a walkthrough of setting up the partitions.
    I thought about calling apple to try to obtain a boot disk for the emacs, and I am sure one the imac or imac dv boot discs will work on the imacs. But how do I get these hard drives prepared to take the boot disk (I understand that is proably what is missing from ibm format and partitioning I can do in my sleep).
    I didn't have any info on the macs before, but I noticed the OF had some info on the machines, so I will post that to the thread later
    Questions:
    1. What would a typical school employee do to clear a mac hd quickly, he had a lot to deal with so I am sure didn't put much time into it, I mean he drilled through the laptops, and some ibm's he just took the hd out? (can he ruin a hd permanently without cracking the case)
    2. If the hd's are useable, what do I need to do get it prepped to acccept a boot disk?
    3. If unable to get boot disk for emac, can I used what I found on bit torrent to boot, if it is copied from a pc, or should I get an imac working first then try to firewire to an emac (possible?)?
    4. In the status these macs are in, after I get one working can I firewire to others(there is like 30 of them)to get them working or do I need to work on each one?
    I know this will take a while, and prepared to keep looking till I can find an answer, not expecting a quick fix. If you can answer any one of the questions or offer assistance I would greatly appreciate it.
    p.s. A lot of questions I know but if anyone can take me under their wing and help me get these working for the church, I would be more than happy to send you one at no charge

    Hey Scooter,
    3 - 333mhz/ 32 ram/ 6gb hd
    Tray loaders.
    Hard to find larger RAM for therefore I usually keeps these on OS 9.2.2 altho' these will run Panther or Tiger.
    I set these up with SMIs of preK - 2nd grade. Things like Living Books, Kid Pix 3 Deluxe, Green Eggs and Ham etc.
    Slot loaders
    2 - 350mhz/ 64 ram/ 6gb hd/512k cache - These have no FireWire
    Those below all have FireWire that's a very important fact and makes installs and transfer of data very easy using target mode. They can also be made to boot from an external firewire.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
    3 - imac dv/400mhz/512k L2 cache/128 ram/13gb hd (under i/o)
    1 - 400mhz/ 64 ram/10gb hd/128 p
    1 - 500mhz/ 64 ram/20g hd
    12 - 500mhz/128 ram/20g hd
    All of the slot loaders will take PC100 - PC133 (those that will under clock) and that's relatively easy to find. I use salvaged RAM from PII-PIIIs.
    These will also use salvaged ATA/IDE hard drives from PCs anything up to 128 GB.
    Be very aware of the firmware version before running anything past OS 10.2.
    I run 10.4.11 in all these that I set up.
    I have a bunch of iMac installers for OS 9 so email me.
    Emacs
    These are all excellent machines. All have FireWire and G4 processors. They're just a little hard to pick up :<}
    1 - Emac 700/384mb ram/40gb hd
    This one had IVAD cable problems that resulted in the display rolling up like a window shade.
    5 - G4/1ghz/384mb ram/80gb hd
    3 - 1.25ghz/ 512mb ram/80gb hd
    Run the serial #s of the two models above here:
    http://www.apple.com/support/emac/repairextensionprogram/
    Pay special attention to any that fall within the range. The problem was bad electrolytics that you might be aware of in Dells, Sonys, IBMs etc. These were the overfilled caps that swelled and burst/failed.
    Two can be seen in the user access area on the bottom.
    The 3 year extended repair program is quickly reaching it's end.
    You can run the serial #s here:
    http://www.chipmunk.nl/klantenservice/applemodel.html
    That will give you the date of manufacture.
    If you see problems catalog and identify them and approach Apple about a repair. I would think you have an angle as a large not for profit if there are a lot of machines Apple might opt to affect free repairs even tho' the machines are outside the 3 year limit. Keep trying as that's very dependent on the Apple supervisor you get.
    Finally look here at mrtotes 2nd post the 3rd site he lists:
    http://tinyurl.com/5cpdhr
    I think you will find some very useful downloads there for the iMacs and the eMacs.
    Some of the new ones might not be there. In that case email me and I'll see what I have.
    This is what I do here in Chicago:

  • G3 iMac 333Mhz not reading CD's burned on my G5 iMac!

    I'm trying to refurbish my older G3 iMac & install Panther, for a friend of mine who can't afford a computer. I've suddenly noticed that CD's I've burned on my G5 iMac are unreadable to the older iMac, giving a message that the disc is unrecognizable, and do I want to erase it. It reads many other CD's just fine, original application CD's, the Panther install CD's, including some I burned on a previous eMac I had. I called Apple about this in a panic, and they couldn't imagine what could be wrong, they had never heard of such a thing. All they could say was that the drive must be going bad. But it reads all other CD's just fine--just not the ones I've recently burned on my new G5 iMac. Then they said that maybe there is something wrong with the CD's I'm using, but they can be read just fine by my new iMac and many other computers, including the old eMac that my daughter now has. I even take files to CopyMax for printing on those same CD's and the PC's read them just fine.
    Apple suggested that I try purchasing other CD's and try out different brands. Meanwhile, the stack of 50 that I just purchased, I won't be able to use with this old iMac. They are Maxell's by the way, and the label says CD-R. Does anybody out there with a similar 333Mhz G3 iMac with a tray loading drive, have problems reading certain brand burned CD's from another computer? Or have you heard of such a thing? I hate to keep buying different brands to see which ones will be readable by the old iMac. Any advice you have would be appreciated. Thanks!
    Kristy

    Thank you both, dreed and Ron, for your advice and comments. It's good to know I'm not the only one with this problem. And since I am just getting this iMac 333 ready for my friend to use, I don't have the money to replace the optical drive for her. I will try Charismac Discribe. Is it a shareware program? And is it very expensive? I still have some CD's I've burned on my eMac, that can be read by the iMac 333 just fine--for me it just seems to be CD's burned on my new G5 iMac that won't work--or Maxell's, because this is the first time I've used that brand. I usually buy Memorex.
    Ron, it looks like we took the same computing path. The description of your two machines match exactly the configuration of my last two Macs, right down to the amount of memory in each of them & everything. Maybe a G5 iMac is in your future! These second generation ones are really wonderful! I know how you feel about the slot loading iMac, though. This is the first time I've had a slot loader. I have found that I can put my thumb in the center hole, and rest my pointer finger gently on the outside edge, without touching any of the surface, and slip it right into the slot pretty easily, then removing my thumb as the drive pulls it into the slot. It took me a while to figure that out. It helps that the slot is vertical instead of horizontal, although it might work with a horizontal slot, if you put your pointer finger in the hole and rest your thumb on the outside edge. Think about it. So tell me where to find Charismac Discribe. Oh, I can probably just google it. Thanks for the tip!

  • Trying to upgrade a 333mhz Tangerine G3 to OS X Panther - not working!

    Ok, I've got a Tangerine 333MHz iMac, tray-loading. The firmware is up to date, and there is 320MB RAM. I have a 40GB hard drive partitioned into 2 partitions, one is less than 8GB (due to the whole 8GB HD thing that I've read about on the forum). Anyway, I've been trying to install Panther, and everytime it gets through with the first disc, it says to restart, and when it starts up again, it starts the installation program all over again, instead of asking for the second disc. It did it 3 times, and so I tried to install 10.0, which only has 1 disc, and I was planning on using my 10.1 upgrade disc, and then try to install Panther again. Anyway, it did the same thing. It finished the installation, then said to restart the computer, then it started the installation program again. If I take the CD out of the drive and try to start up, there's nothing but a grey screen. There's not even the folder icon with the ? inside. Any ideas anyone?

    Hello Sean,
    To expand a little on David's response, look at the discs you are using to install Panther. They should look like these:
    Panther Discs
    not like these:
    OEM Discs
    If you are using OEM discs to try your installation, it will not work as these discs contain a build for a particular computer model.

    An iPod formatted for Mac won't run natively on a PC because the Windows OS does not support the HFS Plus file system and therefore will not see the drive. You can reformat your iPod on Windows if you want to use it on both platforms as Macs can read Windows formatting. Alternatively there are third party programs that will allow you to use a Mac formatted iPod on Windows, this is one for instance: XPlay 2

  • IMac 333Mhz memory and slots

    I recently pick up an iMac 333MHz (tray loading)with 64 mb of memory and would eventually like to get it to OSX.
    I have located the main memory slot according to the instructions, but understand that their is a second memory slot. I have been unable to locate it or find instructions on how to add additional memory to the second slot. I understand that the 333MHz iMac can have 512mb (2 x 256mb). If anyone has instructions on how to access the second memory slot and also a resource to get memory for the iMac I would appreciate it.

    I recently pick up an iMac 333MHz (tray loading)with 64 mb of memory and would eventually like to get it to OSX.
    Note... The lower slot requires low profile memory. You can put the low profile memory in the upper slot if you want.
    From what I read, most people feel the 333 machine can take 512meg of memory.
    Be sure to update the firmware before moving to Mac OS X 10.2 or 10.3.
    You should verify that you have the latest firmware, before installing new software. See the system profiler for details. What firmware do you need?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
    Mac OS X takes about 4gig of harddrive space.
    This will require a minimum of 128meg of ram. You may put 512meg of ram in this machine. There are two memory slots. One must be Low Profile memory. Be sure you can return your memory cards. iMac memory cards are finicky.

    All the tray loading iMac g3's, models a-d, are constructed the same.
    Here is a good disassembly page:
    http://www.macopz.com/columns/imacrepair/disassembly.html
    The second article in this series has information on replacing the battery:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=2584291
    The tray loading iMac requires the boot partition to be within 8gig. Since there are hidden partition before the first visible partition, people recommend that you make the first visible partition 7.5 gig to 7.9gig. The machines support upto a 128gig Parallel ATA drive.
    You should be able to use Unix symbolic links to 'move' some directory like /Users to the second visible partition.
