Mac os 9.1 upgrade to tiger - im sure there are postings i will search for

im sure there is some documentation on this issue i will try to search for it in the mean time i thought it would be reasonable to post my issue as an alternate source of aid,
imac with proper system requirements to upgrade to tiger, i never did and upgrade to os x and i unfortunately didnt read or do research prior to installing, when i put the tiger disc in i followed the instructions and restarted, prior to installing anything the os x cd stated that i need to upgrade my firmware then promted me to restart again, upon restart i got blank screen and now the imac power button lights up however the hard drive kicks in then powers down and the mac wont boot, beep, or display any screen images whatsoever, prior to install/upgrade attempt the imac was having trouble with holding the date and time settings, im not sure if that is related to the now non-booting/blank screen issue, i have read a rew articles on the firmware/tiger upgrade issue, i was wondering if there are any fixes or repairs for this issue, any questions please ask ill give you what information i can, thanks

Hi, denderah -
Welcome to Apple's Discussions.
The Disuccsions forum software somteimes (for unknown reasons) mangles a posted link to another forum page. Here's a repaired link to the page eww referred to -

Re the changing date & time, that is a clear indication that the internal battery in your iMac needs to be replaced. That battery, which is used to maintain PRAM and clockchip settings, will wear out over time - the expected life is only about 4 to 5 years. Leaving the iMac unplugged regularly (such as on weekends or overnight) will shorten its life considerably.
For some models of iMacs, the early ones I believe, replacing the battery is not an intended user-level thing to do; on those it is a good idea to take it to an AASP to have it done.

I am being asked to upgrade to iCloud Drive but indications are that I will not be able to access up to date details on any of my documents on my Mac without going into iCloud first. Have I got this interpretation right or can I save changes to access the new versions on my iMac?

That is Apple's statement:
Using iWork with iCloud Drive - Apple Support
Options for iWork customers
You can upgrade to iCloud Drive today if you want to keep your documents up to date in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite, and you want to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature.
You can upgrade to iCloud Drive later if you want to keep your documents up to date with your apps on iOS 7 or earlier and OS X Mavericks or earlier.
Upgrade to iCloud Drive today
To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows and set up iCloud Drive.
If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows, and iCloud.com.
Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature with iOS 8, OS X Yosemite, and iCloud.com.
Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.
Upgrade to iCloud Drive later
Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature. If you don’t upgrade to iCloud Drive at this time:
Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8 and across devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.

I am trying to upgrade EPM 8.9(8.49.23) to EPM 9.1 (8.53.08). During dataconversion step the AE process finished succssfully in few seconds. When i see the log it says "There are no conversions to run for upgrade path PF89 (18028,10003)". Please let me know why it didnt do any conversion. Am i missing something?

yes, that app engine didnt inserted any rows. So now when i tried to drill down i found that there was no data in the "new demo" database on table UPG_DATACONV. That is the reason for all this.
When i applied required for upgrade patch in demo it said couple of patch already exists so those update i skipped. Now when i check upd877654 has a step which imports the data in this table. my change assistant told that the update is already available in my demo so i skipped. Now i am not sure what to do.
I tried reimporting the data and running the analyzer again. But worried that there can be any issues due to this.

Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any.

Have just upgraded to version 4 and when I go to Goggle search for a website it shows me a list but will not open any. If I use the bookmarks all of the websites open perfectly. I've closed Firefox down and opened again and a message says "how embarassing" and tells me to restore or start a new session. Have tried both but still will not let me open any websites on the google search page.

. I did however, delete the majority of my photos off of iPhoto after I backed them up because I needed room in my library.
exactly how did you delete these photos?

Operating system Mac OS 10.6.8. Recently upgraded to CS6 Encore. There are no buttons and menus in Library at bottom right of screen, so cannot put a button on the menu in Flowchart

How can I get buttons and menus in Library in the Encore 6 screen? There are none showing in my just upgraded Encore 6, when they were there in Encore CS5.

Richard, the link you provided is correct, but it involves a two step process that first gives only a few templates, then requires another download that gives all the library.
I think most users who ask the question just want the second step, which is all that is presented here:
Encore Help | Download full library content/functional content
When I first started recommended that option, I expected users to ask for the "other" templates, but in Encore, that includes "styles" (that do not appear to be used much) and flash export templates (that are also not used much). So I go straight for the full library that I know the users wants.
The other oddity is for a user upgrading from CS5.5 (EN 5.1), and keeping 5.1 installed, the installer (your link) involves the bizarre step of DELETING the 5.1 library.
For Premiere CC users looking to get PR templates/styles, they must use your link.

Restored vault on a new Mac and the projects and albums show up but there are no photos.

I recently purchased a new MacBook Pro. I currently have about 33,000 photos on an older MBP. I created a vault (I thought) of my old Aperture library and saved it to my Time Machine. I restored it to the new MBP, which took forever, but after the restore the projects and albums I created show up on the new MBP but there are no photos. In the 'About My Mac' storage settings it says there is 162.68 GB of photos on my computer (which is the same size as the photos on my old MBP). How do I find them?!

If you want to remove the movies & videos from your iPod Nano in order to transfer to your computer, connect your iPod Nano to your computer. Double click your iPod Nano icon. Double click the DCIM folder. Your recorded video content will be in your DCIM folder. Drag the video content onto your desktop & place them where you want.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and now I am trying to upgrade Pages but it says there are no upgrades available

I am running Pages 4.1 and I can not get the upgrade to 4.2

If you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update (which has been rolled into the Mac App Store in Mountation Lion) says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

If 'Verify Disc' states that Mac 'appears to be ok'. Does that mean there are no viruses/bugs on my system?

I had a pop-up on my Macbook Pro (OS X Yosemite) and something downloaded onto my laptop. I did not open it, I simply put it in the trash and emptied my trash. Another pop-up come up from the same website stating that my MacBook was infected and offered to get rid of it (of course, I clicked straight off it).
I checked online at how to check your Macbook for viruses and it said to Verify Disc through Disk Utility, I did it and it completed with one line in green stating "The volume ..... Appears to be ok."
Does this mean that I do not have any viruses or bugs on my laptop?
Thanks.

No. Repairing/Verifying a disk with Disk Utility does not have a thing to do with malware on the computer.
You are getting phishing scam pop-ups in Safari. Ignore them, don't click on their links or call a telephone number.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, remove adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac, and AdwareMedic. If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using ClamXAV. (Thank you to Thomas Reed for this recommendation.) You might consider adding this Safari extensions: Adblock Plus 1.8.9.
Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
Quit Safari
Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
Relaunch Safari
If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

I have "upgraded" from Pages 2.0.2 to Pages 5.5.3 and can no longer customize my line spacing. Does anyone know if there are more than 4 options for line spacing?

Is it possible to customize line spacing in Pages 5.5.3? My previous Pages 2.0.2 allowed me to choose spacing in 0.1 increments, but as far as I can tell Pages 5.5.3 only offers four options. Very limiting for creative documents.

Hi Margaret,
Does this work for you?
And 0.6
Or 1.6
Please call back if this does not help.

Ian.

After upgrading to 10.9.3, there are three copies of the software update entry in the App Store update page. What gives?

I have no idea what to make of this. Additionally, when I tell it to check for updates, I now get this error:
Any thoughts?
Aside from this updating error, there are no obvious problems.

Looks like you will have to wait. Apple forgot to update the software certificate .

Upgrade from Tiger 10.4.11 to Snow Leopard 10.6.5

I have a MAC desktop with Tiger 10.4.11 and just recently bought another MAC desktop with Snow Leopard 10.6.5. I want to buy the Microsoft Office Home/Student 2011 for MAC 1 user with 3 license. Question: The older 10.4.11 will not support the 2011 edition of Office. I need to upgrade to 10.5.8 or later on the older MAC. How do I do that? Do I buy Snow Leopard and just install it over Tiger? If there are any other programs installed on the older MAC will they stay work with Snow Leopard? Or... do I need to install Leopard and then Snow Leopard? Thanks.

Hi dhatch, and a warm welcome to the forums!
We'd need to more about that 10.4.11 Mac to see if it could do 10.5.8, or 10.6.5.
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac.
