Old disk-loading iMac upgrade from 8.6 to 9.2.2?

Hello everyone,
I have an ancient Bondi Blue iMac (disk-loading) with OS 8.6. I would like to upgrade it to Mac OS 9. I can buy OS 9 from Fastmac.com for $30, but they are sold out of the OS 9.0 CD.
My question is: can I buy the 9.2.2 CD full install instead? Could I upgrade directly from 8.6? Here's the site: http://store.fastmac.com/productinfo.php?productsid=101
Thanks!
matt

*There are no universal full installer OS 9.2.2 CDs.* You will need to purchase either a univeral full installer OS 9.1 or OS 9.2.1 CD. Then you can go to Apple's Download site & download the OS 9.2.2 upgrade for free.
You can get the above mentioned CDs from:
(I have not checked these links in awhile. Hope most still work)
Make sure you check out all of the following links as prices vary for the OS 9.x cds.
Ask the vendors the color of the CD lable. All universal full install CDs are white w/an orange/golden 9.x on it.

Do NOT buy a gray installation CD - those are not universal installers but model-specific [NO matter what the seller says about them!] OEM-versions have caused problems in the past when used on other computer models.

Problem to boot on a 2 TB disk or to upgrade from 10.6.1 to 10.6.4

Hello
Having upgraded for all those years for 10.1 to 10.6, I have decided to build a new system on a brand new 2 TB disk
So I have partition the disk and install Snow Leopard.
Using this new system, at the beginning, everything was OK,
Now it refuse to boot on that disk
I have *repaired disk and permission, re-install Snow leopard* !!! no way
It is trying to boot on that disk then after a while it is booting on my old system disk
Look that the problem comes with the upgrade from 10.6.1. to 10.6.4
Any idea ?
Best

Among the things that still aren't clear is when this disk started refusing to boot. IOW, did it work OK with one upgrade but stop after another of them, or do you mean something else?
Please keep in mind that what may be clear to you won't be to others unless you provide all the relevant info, & that just repeating what you have already said probably won't improve things much if at all.

Deinstall Error for Old Grid Home after Upgrade from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2

Hi,
I just upgraded from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2, both the grid infrastructure and the databases, using out-of-place upgrade. There were no errors during the upgrade and was able to deinstall the old database homes with no issues. The configuration we have is two standalone database servers connected to a clustered ASM array.
Now I'm trying to remove the old grid infrastructure home using deinstall. I get the following exception in the log file:

Any idea what I missed during the upgrade that makes the deinstall fail?
Thank you!

Hi,
if you upgrade you will not deinstall the old home, but simply remove it with rm.
There should be a MOS Note describing the procedure (It might be necessary as well to update the inventory).
Unfortunately don't have access to MOS atm...

IMac Slot Loader Problems Upgrading from os 9 to Tiger

I have an iMac Slot loader that i want to bring up to tiger. The firmware is at 4.1.9, it runs panther fine, but when i install Tiger via Firewire it freezes on the reboot.

ok. I did everything that the reference document told me to do. The onl thing i get now is a Gray screen with the startup music that u get when you get ready to setup tiger. The firmware is up to date i know that i checked it before starting the install. I have gotten rid of all third party ram and still that is all i get i am so lost and confused on this one. I am about ready to give it the parking lot slide. Anyway thanks for the help but we are closer but close doesnt count except for in horse shoes, hand grenades, and atom bombs.

Old disks/new iMac

Hi
Every few months or so I get ambitious and convert a few more old family vhs tapes to dvd. In the process, I've received really great help from the talented folks in this discussion. Thank you. Thank you. I just ordered a new duo core Intel 20" iMac, and because I'm a struggling learner, I have a question--will I be able to use our old CD-R and DVD-R blank disks with the new superdrive? We have quite a few of them left (n=70-80)?

You should be able to use your old CD-R's and the
DVD-R's just fine, but remember to burn them at a
speed that is compatible with the speed they were
designed to be burned at!! it should say it on the
CD/DVD - R's cover or printed on. Good luck and
enjoy your new Mac
Thanks. I'm very anxious for the new Mac to arrive.

IMac upgrade from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard

Can I upgrade my system from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard?
Here are my system specs:
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac8,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          4 GB
Grateful for any tips (I'm backing up right now!)

Many thanks for your responses.
I bought the Snow Leopard DVD from the App Store (AU$20.99), it arrived in 24-48hrs and the install was a breeze.
First, I backed up to an external hard drive with Time Machine, in case of any mishaps (this took a couple of hours). It took about an hour for the initial Snow Leopard install and then another 30 mins or so for the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo to upload (available online through software updates).
I was able to update both my iMac and MacBook from the same disk.
Now, my EyeTV Diversity is running well (the original reason for thinking about an upgrade) and I'm happy to be back in the land of serviced operating systems!

Disk Space Required - Upgrade from 11.5.9 to 12

Just wondering, roughly, aside from the database, how much disk space should I require for a basic upgrade of Oracle Fins - release 11.5.9 to release 12?
Is release 12 just like 11i was - meaning, it installed all the apps, even though you used just a few?
Thanks.

Crash when loading file upgraded from pages 3.03 to 4.0

after loading a 3.03 file in pages 4.0 (demo version), deleting a few styles, modifying a few others, creating a table of contents, moving paragraphs around in structure mode, then saving the file, it causes pages 4.0 to crash when attempting to load it : segmentation fault.
Report have been sent to apple but I'm in despair because this 125 pages file is crucial to me : I didn't keep the original. It contains an academic report I must finalize tomorrow.
Any help much welcome, I can send the file

Try creating a new user and opening it in that, just in case it is a something other than Pages causing the problem.
Also try force opening the file with a text editor to get at the contents, you may be able to rescue something. A slim hope but worth trying.
Also try getting at the parts of the file by going into Finder and right mouse clicking on the file and go +Show Package Contents+. Inside the package, if there is one, will be a Quicklook folder and inside that Preview.pdf.
You can open the Preview.pdf in Preview and possibly copy material from that into another document to rescue it.
You have learnt a painful lesson. If the material is vital keep the backup, especially as you were only working with the demo version of Pages 09.

Not enough disk space to upgrade from Aperture Library

My Aperture library is about 140 GBs (I've also got an iPhoto library, which is about 40 GBs, and I don't know for sure if all the stuff in there is in my Aperture library.) I've got about 23 GBs free, and when I try to upgrade, Photos tells me it needs an additional estimated 29 GBs. What options do I have at this point? I'm wondering if this would work:
- Copy Aperture Library to an external drive.
- Delete the library from the internal drive (scary. Yes I have backups, but still scary).
- Open Photos, and point it to the library on the external drive.
Would that create a Photos library on my internal drive with all the contents of the external library? I'm worried that it would reference all the files on the external, and then I would always have to have the external drive connected to use Photos.

Okay, that's not an option. Does it need this 29 GBs just temporarily for the upgrade process? I was under the impression that the new Photos library simply references everything in the Aperture/iPhoto library, so shouldn't take up more space than what you had before. So I'm wondering if I delete some things to free up the 29 GBs, if I can run the upgrade, and then put the things back that I deleted. But if it really wants 29 GBs permanently, I'm in trouble.

Please help - CSAuth Fails to load after upgrading from V3.3 to V4.0.1

We have recently upgraded ACS V3.3 to V4.0.1 on Windows server 2003 SP1. However, now the windows service CSAuth fails to start. There's nothing in the CSAuth log file either.
If we do clean installs, installing V3.3 from new and then do a upgrade to V4.0.1 on a clean system it works fine.
The problem seems to be when we install fresh 3.3, then replicate our existing dbase to it, then upgrade to 4.0.
Does anyone have any ideas - any thoughts would be most welcomed,
Thanks, in advance,
Malcolm

Hi
When you say nothing in the csauth log... do you mean nothing at all... or nothing that looks like an error?
Try setting logging to max and seeing where it gets to.
I suspect there is something in your 3.3 config that doesnt get upgraded corectly. Its impossible for every scenario to be tested - Im not sure how much upgrade testing actually gets done. Probably left until the end of the test cycle.

Changing swap file location on tray-loader iMacs

This is not a question, but something I discovered that makes my old tray-loader iMac (the oldest iMac models) run Mac OS X much better.
As you may know, these oldest iMacs have an 8GB size limit on the boot volume. The largest stock drive on these iMacs was 6GB. That means if your upgraded hard drive is larger than 8GB, it must be partition so that the first partition is under 8GB (7.78GB on my iMac), and it must be the boot partition where the OS is installed (whether it's Mac OS X or 9).
In my case, I have a roomy 120GB hard drive (I believe the useable limit on these iMacs is 128GB). The first partition is just under 8GB, the second partition is the rest of the space, about 104GB. I have used every trick out there to move files (such as the iTunes music folder and most of my user/documents files) off to the second partition, to make free space on the boot partition as large as possible. So I have 3.5GB free on my 8GB boot partition. This is about 40% of the volume's total space so it seems pretty good, until you realize that most recent Macs have much more than the TOTAL 8GB I have, as free space on the boot volume. Mac OS X was just not designed to work well with small boot volumes...
Mac OS X uses the free space on the boot volume for its virtual memory "swap file." Considering these old iMacs max out at 512MB of RAM, virtual memory is being used quite a bit. But since space on the boot volume is very limited, low RAM and lack of free space can lead to performance issues. Here's what I observed. When I initially started up my iMac, I had about 3.5GB of free space. Over time, as I used more and more apps, that free space would diminish until I had only about 600MB remaining (as reported by a Finder window). At the same time, I noticed performance getting bogged down and more "chugging" sounds coming from the hard-working hard drive.
I've known about changing location of the swap file, but never tried it until recently. During the Mac OS X boot process, the Mac sets the location of the swap file. By default, the swap file resides on the boot volume (I believe most other Unix-based systems use a dedicated "swap partition" for the swap file). Since most recent Macs have large drives set up as one partition (and there is plenty of free space), and since many users have upgraded their RAM (and virtual memory is not as critical), swap file location is usually not an issue, and there is certainly no need to change the swap file location. However, on my iMac with an 8GB limit on the boot volume and 512MB of RAM, it made a noticeable difference.
I found one set of procedures on the web that was much better than the others I found for changing the location of the swap file.
http://www.math.columbia.edu/~bayer/OSX/swapfile/
On this page, there are two choices for Panther users. I used the one that works for both Panther and Tiger, because it appeared to me to be more straightforward. The author intentionally keeps the instructions somewhat technical to discourage users who are not technically inclined. I don't consider myself to be too "geeky," but I can follow instructions and type a few commands in Terminal.
After I changed the swap file location to a large mostly empty volume, I noticed much better performance when I have many large apps open at the same time. Performance no longer degrades over time, and the free space on my boot volume remains a constant 3.6GB.
The reason for this post is to share this information. Some users of these old iMacs may be noticing the same issues I had. This is a possible solution. However, if everything is OK with your set up, there is no reason to change the swap file location. If you try it, be sure to take the usual data backup precautions.
If anyone else has experience with changing swap file location, please post your comments here.

Problem has been solved:

Upgrade from ISE 1.1.4 to 1.2 (VMWare)

We are planning to do an upgrade on our ISE runing on VMWare. Our current version is 1.1.4 and we are planning to upgrade it to 1.2. Based on released notes, 1.2 is running on 64-bit and we are currently using 32-bit on our ISE. I have red all releases notes and upgrade guide from Cisco and all doesn't include the upgrade process from 32-bit to 64-bit. I have created the draft for the upgrade plan, here is what I am thinking for the upgrade. Create backup of ISE 1.1.4, install ISE 1.2 to new VMs then restore the databases from 1.4 and from then will upgrade the databases to 1.2.

Hi,
You can run the upgrade stright on, the v1.2 installer takes care of 32 to 64bit conversion.
Edit: You will need to change host OS from RHEL 5 32bit to RHEL 5 64bit.
Is this a stand alone ISE or a depoymentof more then one?
If you have a deployment you can start with your secondary PAN (admin) node. When done the secondary announces that it's v1.2 and when you upgrade the next node, a PSN, it will conect automatically to secondary PAN.
It can be problems when upgrading ISE, but with my latest customer going to 1.2 everything worked as it should.
But I did prepare for the worst with backup of DB, backup of certifiactes + pvk, having access to AD admins etc.
Tip is to copy the upgrade file to the local disk and run upgrade from there and to reset the DB on the PSN nodes to shorten the time of the upgrade.

"Upgrade" from 10.5.8 to 10.5.6 ... yes you read that correctly

I'm running 10.5.8 ... having updated after starting with testing a copy of Leopard. I've now bought my own new copy of Leopard ... the disc is 10.5.6
Is there anything special I need to do when doing a Clean Install ?
I'm backed up with Time Machine.

Do a search of these forums for 10.5.8 permissions and you'll find that the list you get at the end of the repair process is most likely spurious. It seems to me that something is wrong with either your hardware or with the disk you purchased . . . most likely with the disk. That's why I think you should let Apple know about it. You must have several Apple Stores in the LA area (we have two here) so I think you need to check with one of the Geniuses at the very least.
You mentioned that you wanted to try starting with the 10.4.x disk you have and reinstalling that, then upgrading from there with your new 10.5.6 disk but you weren't sure it would accept it since you are already up to 10.5.8. If that's the one that came with your MPB (the gray Restore disk) I don't know if it would work with an already upgraded system either since if it is a grey one it is not a regular retail upgrade. I've never tried doing that (never had to). But I don't see how you can do any harm by putting it in and seeing if you can restore to the original out-of-the-box configuration. Then you could, as you suggested, upgrade that with the new disk. If the new 10.5.6 disk wouldn't upgrade from that pristine state, then something is definitely wrong with it.
