Mac OS 9.1 on eMac with OS X 10.4.11

I need to run mac os 9.1 or later on my mac to use some old programs i have.
my eMac isn't like most of its models it is capable of running OS X Leopard but i prefer tiger.
originally i have os x 10.4.11 and os 9.2.2 but my sister tried to clear some stuff out the hard drive and "accidentally" deleted a system folder. i had to reinstall every thing but i couldn't get os 9 back cause i lost the disk. i asked my bro for the copy he made (we make copies of all our software in case we lose it or it breaks) but i don't know how to install it.
please help!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
That would work, if that old Mac was an eMac. eMacs all used system specific 9.2.2 System Folders. They can't use 9.2.1 or earlier.
If you must have 9.1, get a Mac the age of 9.1 or older:

with at least a G3 processor.

How do I do to conect an Emac with a Mac Book Pro Mid 2009

I want to conect my Emac with my Mac Book Pro Mid 2009 in order to share and move files. I bought a firewire cable 9 pins to 6 pins and conected both computers but I am unable to see the hard drives and move files.

You eMac will need to be booted into Target Disk Mode.
Restart the eMac and hold the T key. It will then show up on your MBPs Desktop.

Help Migrating from eMac with 10.4 to Mac Mini with 10.5.8

Hi All,
I'm stumped. My friend has an old eMac with 10.4 on it, and when I upgraded my machine from a Mac Mini, I decided to donate it to her. I thought I'd be able to use Migration Assistant, but it apparently needs at least 10.5 on both machines. I tried to upgrade her eMac to 10.5, but it's so old and clunky, it just freezes when you try (it's only got 256MB of RAM).
Any ideas? Since there's no time machine on 10.4, that's not an option - but she does have an external hard-drive that I could use.
Thanks all -

Erase and install the Mac Mini and then when prompted at restart tell it to import the data from the eMac - it should just work. It is always better to erase and install if you get a second hand machine anyway both for security purposes (for the old user) and also to ensure that none of the stuff left behind by the previous user will interfere with your usage of your new Mac

Wifi concerns replacing eMac with new mac mini

I have an eMac (PPC) which is currently maxed out at 10.5.8. I was thinking of upgrading to a mac mini. My only concern is that I currently have an old mac mini (late 2006) and it's ability to use wifi with its internal airport interface is severely limited. The only placment I have found this mac mini to reliably work in is if the mac mini and the wifi router (belkin) are located in the same room. The eMac I'm thinking about replacing is on a different floor than the router it's airport interface just works, as do all of our laptops. I understand that some the wifi problems with this mac mini might have to do with the antenna placement in its chassis. So my question is has Apple improved the reliability of the airport interface in the mac mini ?

The router is really NOT the issue as far as I can tell. Laptops situated right next to the mac mini have no problem getting and maintaining a connection. The eMac with a much older airport card and situated on the same floor as the mac mini, maintains its connection as well. The late 2006 mac mini initially starts off with a good connection but within 10-20 minutes after startup, the connection goes bad, and won't return no matter how many times one reboots. If I shutdown the mac mini and restart it after an hour or so, the connection becomes solid again for about 10-20 minutes. Interestingly, when the mac mini is in the same room as the router, the connection starts out solid and stays solid.
My concern, from what I can tell, is that the basic chassis design of the new mac minis don't appear to be that much different in concept than my late 2006 mac mini, except for missing the CD R/W drive and being more compact. Is there an inherent design flaw in the mac mini (older and current versions) that degrades wifi connectivity in cases where the mac mini is not within line of site of the router?

Digital Camcorder & router/Airport USB 2.0 to connect eMac with only USB 1

I've looked around and asked many sources, only to come to the same conclusion that I already thought I knew... no way to go from USB 2.0 through another interface to use firewire on an eMac with only USB 1.1.
I'm curious if anyone has connected a router with a USB 2.0 to an older mac, eMac and/or TiBook in my case via ethernet so that a digital camcorder might appear under the ip-based items available from the router?
there is no reason, other than it being painfully slow over USB 1.1 to think beyond the eMac as it otherwise does every task necessary for my in-laws perfectly. never had a single problem that wasn't caused by their inexperience with a computer, which also makes using a mac so much easier to troubleshoot and fix. they just bought a nice digital hdd (hard disk drive, not hd res) camcorder that communicates via USB 2.0 (as almost all do nowadays).
will any router, or more-specifically an Airport router, be able to communicate with the camcorder via its own USB 2.0 interface and then distribute that data over ethernet to the eMac, or would the router be hamstrung by the same USB 1.1 bottleneck that would affect it if done directly.
I'm also open to other alternatives... I haven't had a chance to play with the camcorder yet, but I imagine that it will somehow mount to the desktop were it able to comm via 2.0. any thoughts?
cheers,

hi duane,
thanks for the quick reply. excellent info.
i noticed that your email said more than the post, did you edit out the last statement, as that was what i was going to comment on...?
my digi camcorder, a tape-based model, does show up like a volume on the desktop, but i wasn't sure of the new hd-based one that my in-laws purchased would. i am able to see the other not just in imovie, so perhps it will mount in the usb port of a router. i don't have an AEBS, but would purchase one specifically for this use if it did work. however i will test it on my us robotics and belkin models that have usb as well. i might also try my NAS drive that has a usb port for daisy-chaining more usb items.
the good thing is that the bottleneck on the emac won't affect the process, it's just a matter of whether the hdd-camcorder can be mounted via one of the other options.
thanks for the other comments, i'll mark as answered once i see how it goes...
anyone else have any thoughts?

I have two different emacs with two slightly different problems

Hello,
I just recently got three emacs in used condition. One works perfectly (I'm typing from it right now), but the other two are giving me problems, and I'm not sure what could be causing the problems.
The first one takes a long time to load into Mac OS X 10.4, and when it does, it doesn't seem to recognize any of my usb devices.
The second one usually freezes at a blue screen, but sometimes, it will get to the desktop, which is possibly frozen as well, because my usb keyboard and mouse do not work on this one as well.
What can I narrow these problems down to?
Thanks
Nami

Welcome!
The first step with used eMacs that act out is to see if they fall in a range of machines that had a near-fatal logic board defect. This affects 1.0G and 1.25Ghz eMacs with USB 2.0 logic boards. The easiest way to check is to see if the computers' serial numbers fall in any of these ranges:
G8412xxxxxx- G8520xxxxxx
YM412xxxxxx - YM520xxxxxx
VM440xxxxxx - VM516xxxxxx
If so, there is little an individual can do to correct the problem as it requires a new logic board or, at least, skill in removing and replacing small logic board components.
The number can be found inside the optical bay door:
NOTE: If the computer is an Apple refurbished unit, the serial number will start with "R" or "RM" and the above number ranges cannot be used to to identify a potentially defective logic board.
If you live on the West Coast of the United States, there is a shop in Eugene, OR, that used to offered an affordable LB repair that corrects the issue, If you're not close to Oregon, the cost of shipping a 50-pound computer can double the cost of the repair.
So, basically, the first thing is to see if this condition exists before investing more time (or money).

What do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the thunderbolt on the mac to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

what do i need to connect my mac book pro to the tv with the mac's thunderbolt port to hdmi? I have the newest macbook pro. I'm wanting to have the best picture I can get from my 1080p tv. thanks

Thanks Community! I solved the problem. In fact it was not a problem but lack of understanding. These guys at Apple are way ahead in thir thinking. I will try to explain as short as I can.
In Lion, ihe Prefferences/Display show only two choices: 6-7 steps of resolution and some color tab. No two screens, no two display to overlap, nothing for us to do. "That was the problem"! Everything is automatic.
When I connected the HDMI cable to the Miniport into a T-bolt slot, the TV screen showed the "spiral galaxy" how Zyriab is calling it. In fact he gave me the best clue. That shows the connection is good. But where is the Mac Book image?
You have to drag it to the right out of the Mac Book display area, and "voila!" it will continue on the TV screen. The same with the mouse pointer, push it out ofthe Mac Book display area and you see it on the TV sreen. Good image, you can keep the max resolution, etc. The sound is still on the Book's speakers. I have to figure that out.
Thank everybody, especialy Zyriab, ne was the closest.
High regards to everybody

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

If you can't sign in, then you can't troubleshoot and/or pair the keyboard until after that........ so, for that, you will need to borrow someone's USB wired keyboard in order to get signed in and to the Keyboard Bluetooth Preferences.

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this

Lion 10.7.2 On both mac book pro and iMac, both with Lion 10.7.2, obtain repeated iCal event notifications from calendar or address book. Cannot turn these off. They repeat several times per session and every time computer is used. How to diagnose this?

First, uninstall "SuperTV" (whatever that is) according to the developer's instructions. It isn't working and it's filling the log with noise.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Post the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message. When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
PLEASE DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)
http://apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Will it work if I connect via usb instead of firewire?
No. There is no "USB Target Disk Mode".
Just so we're clear, when you start your Mac mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode (TDM - holding T on startup), do you see a FireWire icon on the Mac mini's display? IIRC, it's not required that the Mac mini be connected to a display for TDM, but it would help diagnose whether or not the mini is actually starting in this mode.

Part 2
Thanks for the feedback Skhorchid. Glad it worked for you too.
A bit later I discovered that Photo Stream was not working on my Windows 7 PC either. If I opened the iCloud control panel and put a check in the box to turn on Photo Stream, and then closed and reopened the control panel, the check mark was gone again. Also, nothing happened when I clicked on the options button beside the Photo Stream check box. I already had version 2 of the iCloud control panel so I could not upgrade further.
I ended up uninstalling the iCloud control panel, rebooting, downloading a fresh copy from Apple, and reinstalling it. This worked and I now have photo stream working on my Windows 7 system as well.
