Mac plus - system 6 images

hey guys,
i recently picked up a mac plus and have downloaded the system 6 images from the support section. unfortunately, when i use stuffit to try and expand the images, it tells me that "the stuffit engine was unable to determine the format"
any suggestions?

Please note that the Macintosh Plus cannot use 1.44 MB (HD) floppies. 800K (on DSDD/2DD diskettes) is the maximum size.
External USB floppy drives are not capable of handling the special 800K Mac format. Instead, a pre-1998 Macintosh computer with a built-in floppy drive will have to be used in order to create working 800K floppy disks from downloaded disk images.
The files at the Apple download site are encoded MacBinary (.bin). Usually, it is a good idea to keep this encoding unaltered until on the computer where the system disks are to be made. Once there, an appropriate version of StuffIt Expander can be used to decode the .bin.

Mac Plus System 6?

Does anyone know where I can find a floppy with System 6 on it so I can run my Mac Plus again? I don't know what happened to my system disks. When I boot with my System 6.08 tools disk it doesn't work. I'd love to play Loderunner again.

You can find System 6.0.3 through 6.0.8 on 800k floppies, as well as 1.44 MB floppies for 6.0.8 here:

Mac plus operating system?

Hello everyone,
I just pulled my old mac plus out from my garage, and was wondering where i could get a operating system floppy disk so i could use it, because when i turn it on it either:
Has a black screen and beeps continuously.
Or just has a blank white screen that flashes on and off every few minutes...
i would appreciate it if anyone could tell me anything that would help.
thanks.

Callum,
Yes, any Macintosh computer with a built-in floppy drive is OK. However, for practical reasons, one of the models with a floppy drive for 1.44 MB (see the technical specifications) should be used. This 1.44 MB Mac floppy drive will handle 800K, too.
If the Mac operating system on that intermediary computer contains a PC Exchange control panel, a PC-formatted floppy disk can be read (it will appear on the Desktop with a "PC" floppy icon). If so, just drag-copy any downloaded .bin files (as they are, do not alter them on the PC) to a PC diskette (1.44 MB), and use that floppy for the transfer.
Alternatively, use a PC utility for Mac disks (such as TransMac or an old freeware program called HFVExplorer) for transfers on Mac-formatted 1.44 MB floppy disks.
Once on the intermediate Mac, decode the files (use StuffIt Expander for Macintosh for this). If you do not have StuffIt Expander, you can download the MACDISK.EXE file here onto a PC. Then prepare an empty PC-formatted 1.44 MB diskette via FORMAT A: in DOS or the full formatting option under Windows. Launch the MACDISK.EXE program on the PC. Follow the on-screen directions. This will result in a floppy with a StuffIt Expander installer that can be used in a Macintosh computer.
One additional difficulty is that you need 2DD/DSDD diskettes for the final step where 800K floppies are created in Disk Copy 4.2. 2DD/DSDD disks have only one square hole (with a slider), whereas a "normal" 1.44 MB HD diskette has two (one with and one without a slider). 2DD/DSDD diskettes are hard to find today. The magnetic materials are not the same, but for a very temporary use (expect errors) one can cover the extra square hole (the one without a write-protect slider) in an HD diskette with a piece of tape.

System Image Utility not working on Intel Macs?

I have a client who has the following problem:-
We are still not able to create a Net Install image of a full system setup.
Master Clone Mac - Intel iMac 17", 10.4.10, 40Gb partition 17Gb Used.
System Image Utility v10.4.10 on Another Intel iMac, 10.4.10, over 100 Gb storage for image
I get loads of errors and the final image is less than 2Gb when created.
Have just managed to create a 10.4.4 image (system only). But this is far from what we need it to do. Any ideas?

There is an inherent issue with creating images from 10.4.9 or later... see <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=929625&tstart=0>.
But it sounds as if your client has bigger problems. More information about the errors reported will be needed to offer any real help.

System Image Utility 10.4.7 doesn't know about Intel Macs

After updating my server to 10.4.7 today, I set out to update my network install image for my lab Intel iMacs by adding the 10.4.7 package to it.
Using the new 10.4.7 System Image Utility, however, I was not able to apply the correct Intel iMac filter, as none of the Intel Macs were visible in the list. I downgraded to the previous 10.4 version, and was able to see the Intel options in the filter list.
Is there any problem with using an earlier version of System Image Utility 10.4? Is there a way to patch the new version?

Hello TomTom fans,
I am Having exactly the same TomTom Go 910 USB issue since I updated from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9
Thinking that might be a USB hardware failure on my 910, I connected it to a Windows XP PC and it works fine.
I therefore pretty sure that the problem comes from 10.4.9 or from a security update.
I sent a message to TomTom but have not yet received an answer from them.
Having seen that there are a few problems reported in this forum due to the upgrade to 10.4.9, I suppose that we will need to wait for some fixes from Apple.
Cheers,
Philippe.

Mac Plus software needed

I have an original 128K Mac that has been upgraded to a 1MB Mac Plus that is being readied for sale. Unfortunately, somewhere in this mess I have managed to lose the OS boot floppy. I have the complete set of System 7 install diskettes, but the proFile they had been loaded on went south. Anybody happen to have this disk?
Also open to offers if anyone is interested in buying. This includes the Mac soft case, extended keyboard, mouse, case cracker tool and long-shaft torx, internal vent fan, and the back case with the signatures of all the folks who worked on the original Mac, including that of Steve Jobs.
Thanks.

You have two other options open to you: Apple still offers disk images of Mac OS 6.0.x for download, though you need a way to move .sea files from the internet all the way down to a Mac capable of writing a 800k disk, no mean feat for sure. That downloads page is here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA48312#system
There is also someone selling ready-made disks from these images:

System image utility fails "Unknown error has occurred"

Hi,
I can create disk images from 10.8.3 clients but when i'm putting them through system utility on the 10.8 server it fails after hours of running.
The log is set to debug and shows the image creates upto 83% then jumps to 100% and later shows unknown errors and failed to create image from restore souce.
I've created several disk images and saved them to different locations on the server as the source and final image.
Below i've put in the debug log. Someone please help!!

I am seeing a very similar output trying to make a netrestore image of a 10.8.4 Macbook Air on a 10.8.4 Mac Mini running OSX Server. Gets to 84% and then shows the -1 progress and then just hangs until I cancel it (I haven't tried leaving it over night but left it that way for hours).
Did you ever figure out what was going on or have a workaround to create an image?
Thanks!

System Image for G5 (PPC) and iMac (Intel Core 2 Duo)

hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to create a common system image Mac OS X 10.4.10 that I can "deploy" in out two mac labs. One with G5 (PPC-based machines) and the other with iMac (Intel-based machines).
If yes, how can I do that ? with a script ?
I tried to boot a G5 with image made on IMac and it didn't boot...
Anybody can help me ?
Thanks a lot for your cooperation,

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
As they are not comparable versions of Mac OS X, a dual boot configuration would be needed. One with a GUID (for Intel) formatting, and one with Apple Partition Map (for PowerPC). This Mac OS X hints page explains how to make a dual boot configuration:

System Image Utility always fails, why?

Hi everyone,
on my clean and fresh install of 10.7.4 Server the System Image Utility always fails to create an image. I want to create a NetInstall image and have put the OS X Lion Installer in /Applications. I can select it in SIU and choose to create a NetInstall image. It asks for the admin pw and always presents an error at the very end: Image creation failed. An unknown error has occured.
If I select to create a NetBoot image instead it fails directly after clicking on the Create button with this slightly different message: Image creation failed. An error has occured. At least it’s no unknown error…
Any ideas what might be causing this? I have succesfully created NetInstall images with 10.6 Server and 10.8 Server, but 10.7 Server somehow won’t play nice.
Thanks
Björn

Hi Brian,
I first deleted the Installer and redownloaded it from the App Store, just to make sure there was no problem with it. Even though I now have the 10.7.4 Installer (had 10.7.0 before) nothing has changed. I then went on to set the log level as suggested. I now get different errors based on the chosen log level.
Log level set to debug:
Image creation failed.
*** -[__NSArrayM insertObject:atIndex:]: object cannot be nil
Log level set to verbose:
Image creation failed.
An unknown error has occurred.
I did not see anything helpful in the logs unfortunately. The only noticeable thing mentioned was: Failed to create image from installer media.
Any additional ideas? I will attach both logs here, just in case.

System Image Utility fails to create boot image

I am not able to successfully build a boot image with the System Image Utility. The build starts and runs for about 1 minute and then I get 100's of ditto messages saying "No space left on device". There's plenty of space left on the device. Eventually I get a GUI message stating the there was an error creating the image. The image is of course unusable. This only happens on a Boot image. I have no problem making an install image from the same source. Is it just me??
Xserve G5 Dual Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I had simililar problems with much headscratching as the result.
I found that whenever I tried to create a boot image with System Image Utility (SIU) using an image file of my existing system as the source SIU would fail with the annoying "No space left on device" message everytime. I did a little investigating and found that SIU always created a 400 MB disk image file to copy to. So the error message was correct as my source was way over 4 GB.
I checked the manual and found the embarrasingly simple solution. It's not mentioned directly, rather it is stated that when you want to create an boot image from an existing system you should boot the machine containing the desired system on disk from an alternate source and the run SIU on that machine. The "trick" is that you're running SIU with the existing system mounted as a disk.
So I went back to my Xserve, mounted the image so it appeared on the desktop. Ran SIU and chose the mounted volume as the source instead of the image file, and hey presto!
MacBook Pro, Xserve, eMac, iMac... any Mac I can get my hands on Mac OS X (10.4.6)

System Image Utility broken?

I imported my 10.5 workflow into the new System Image Utility and created a NetRestore (and NetInstall to test) image of a fresh 10.6 installation. Workflow is like this:
1. define image source
2. automatic installation (delete harddrive "Macintosh HD", language "German")
3. Apply systemconfiguration (host specific settings after installation)
4. Create image (type netrestore)
Image builds fine but the restore process stops after a while. Thats the rror log:

Any ideas to solve this? The netboot server is still on 10.5 - does this matter?
Thanks, Kai

I'm having a similar problem on a 10.5.8 server.
I've successfully created a NetInstall image on a 10.6.1 Mac using SIU (image created from a mini in Target Disk mode). I created a new Workflow for an unattended install that formats the client drive. Also, this was the only way to get the NetInstall option (since was grayed out on the initial screen at launch).
My logs on the client machine look like yours. It gets about 485 Mb into the process, and fails. A NetRestore image yields the same results.
My next step is to create a 10.6.1 NetBoot image and see if that works. I have Snow Leopard Server on order, but I'd like to do some imaging tests before we upgrade our server.

System Image Utility Incredibly Slow!

Creating any kind of image using system image utility takes ridiculous amounts of time. I started an image of a ~30GB targeted disk at 9 this morning and now at 12:48 it's less than a quarter done (if I am to believe the progress bar). This is the same story every single time I use the utility, usually takes leaving it overnight to complete an image. For now I'm just doing images manually using disk utility, which takes about half an hour for the same 30GB disk.
I'm running 10.6.1 Server on an 8-core MP. Anyone else having these issues?

Hi
It takes approximately 1 hour for every 7-10GB in my experience. Having said that a Leopard Installer DVD takes only 30-40 minutes. I have known it take longer on non-Intel Macs. SIU de-compresses and then re-compresses when done. I've done a 110GB image which took 12-13 hours. Once you realize this it's advisable to allow at least a day for image building and another day for image creation. Depending of course on how many images you have and how large they are.
It makes sense therefore to take as much care as you can building the image prior to using SIU.
What is disappointing is the interface gives very little feedback as to what's actually happening. Not even a percentage countdown. SUS is the same. Because of this I use top in Terminal as well as monitoring the Log in Console. In addition navigate to /Library/NetBoot/NetBootSP0/nameofnbi and select the System.dmg that's being created. Viewing it in the Finder this way gives you at least some idea of what's happening as you can see the image file getting larger by the second.
Perhaps the Admin Manual should have a "Requires lots of Patience" entry?

System Image Utility - universal_boot option only on Intel machines

I'm using System Image Utility on 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 running Mac OS X Server version 10.5.2. When I try to create a NetBoot image with the standard settings (no customization) and a Mac OS X 10.5 Install DVD, I get the following message:
updatedyld_sharedcache failed: universal_boot option can only be used on intel machines
The rest of the log is below; any help you can provide would be appreciated. Thanks!

System Image Utility 10.6.3 - fails when creating NetBoot image from DVD

System Image Utility 10.6.3, trying to create a NetBoot image from a bundled installer disc that came with a 27" Late 2009 iMac (iMac11,1). Image creation fails consistently, since the image that System Image Utility creates is only 901M.
Anyone see this before?

Hi Don, here's my guess...
The 901 number is additional space added in the scripts. This indicates that the source image size was 0.
Since you are making a NetBoot from Install media, under the covers the installer process is being run to create a NetBoot volume. The media shipped with the 27" iMac is most likely CPU specific and thus the installation fails because you are trying to create the image (i.e. install the system) on an unsupported CPU.
In order to produce a NetBoot from the install media, you'll have to create it on the 27" iMac.
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the response. This makes perfect sense. I'll give this a try and shout back!
Thanks,
Don
