Opening OS9.1 on G4

Hi,
I've got the hard drive of my old G3 in an external disc drive and I'm trying to open it up on a G4 imac running OS10.4. It says I'd be better running OS9.2 not 9.1 and that I need to upgrade Quicktime to 6.0.3. It starts trying to load but goes nowhere. I don't seem to be able to do the upgrades until I've loaded OS 9.1...
any ideas??

All of those messages revolve around executing the 9.1 on that drive as "Classic environment". Is that what you want to be doing? If all you want is the files off it, there is no need to start Classic. Just mount the drive and drag and drop the files.
Presuming you DO want to be running Classic, the first thing it will want to do is update a few wonky things in the System Folder, like System UI and a few others, and also Startup Disk Control Panel. If you are not getting to the point where it wants to update a few things for you, that drive may have some directory damage -- try running Disk Utility's ( Repair ) function on it.

Can't open OS9 Quicken 2002 files in Classic mode on iBook G4

I have an iMac that I use to run OS9 and applications, and it has Quicken 2002 installed, but I'd like to use Quicken 5 which is installed on my iBook G4. I have OS 9.2 installed on the iBook G4, and I installed Quicken 2002 on the iBook G4. I used a flash drive to move a Quicken Data file from my iMac running OS9 to the iBook G4, but the Quicken 2002 running in Classic on the iBook G4 does not recognize the old Quicken file. Is there any way I can convert the old Quicken file? This is the only software that I really would like to run on my iBook G4, and I have a ton of old Quicken 2002 data that I don't want to lose. Thanks!

I did find my answer at the Quicken Community website and it worked like magic. Now I can run my old data files in the new version of Quicken on my iBook. In case anyone else needs the info, this is how to do it:
Exporting your data to a QIF file:
Open the data file from which you want to export the data.
Choose Export from the Quicken File menu.
Select the Full Export option.
Click Export to create the QIF file.
Name the file export.qif.
Importing the QIF file into a new data file:
From the Quicken File menu, choose New file.
Enter a name for the new file, and then click Save.
When prompted to create a new account, click Cancel.
From the File menu, select Import QIF.
In the Open File window, choose the export.qif file.

Open os9 movie clip from iomega external harddrive on osX

With my old G3 Mac I stored movies on a 120 GB External firewire Iomega Hardrive.
When I use this same external harddrive with my new G4 Mac, the Harddrive works perfect without having to dowload any drivers.
But the os9 ( G3 mac) movie's stored on the Iomega external harddrive will not open on the osx G4 Mac
All mp3's stored on the external harddrive from the G3 os9 mac open perfect on the G4 osx mac.
I dont have the G3 mac anymore so am now stuck with 20GB of old movies I can't open up on new G4 osx mac

The files used to look like those ( im with a star)
Now they are just Light black / grey Icons (Rectangles)
With the letters " exec " witten on the top left corner in Green writing.
Under info in finder it says:
Kind: Unix Executable File
Size: ( whatever)
Where: / Volumes / IOMEGA_HDD/ MAC OS9 Folders 20GB
Modified: (Whatever)
I looked in diskUtility and yes this is somthing I must do to re-formatt.
How do I do this please.
They dont open with quicktime or im ( or any application ) on the External drive
or on the mac internal drive even when you drag / import clips to desktop on the G4 osx mac
If I reformatt the external drive would this solve the problem?
* Now there is no problem at all storing and playing /opening new movies I make and store on the external drive now with the G4 osx Mac. They all have the folders and Icons with the im star.
Thanks.

Questions (lots!): OS9.2 onto a G4 w/10.3.9

I'm sure what I'm looking for is redundant but I looked through the questions for over an hour and can't quite figure out the best answer to my problem. Please.....take a seat. This is gonna take a while - I have a lot of questions and at this time am very confused. First, I'll begin with some very recent history:
A few weeks ago, while attempting to list an auction on a certain, on-line auction sight, I discovered that the "new & improved" listing page no longer supports OS9 (no "browse" button appears on the "add pictures" page). That issue coupled with the growing inability to view many websites to their maximum, I finally broke down & purchased a good, used G4 with a 10.3.9 operating system already installed (no discs for that system were included). The original G4 three disc package, however, was included, (Power Mac Software Install Disc-SSW version 9.1, Software Restore Disc and Hardware Test Disc).
I just got the machine up & running this evening and have only been using it for a few hours; just long enough to discover that getting all my current software into it is going to be much more challenging than I might have imagined. The manual for the G4 says it can be done via ethernet or firewire (I have no idea what firwire even is!) I need to go about this as cheaply as possible because after buying the new computer, I'm about out of funds.
Some more facts which might be helpful:
**I can't burn a CD of my other operating system because I don't know how (I have an external Sony Spressa CD burner which came with my G3 iMac when I bought it (used) but I've never been able to get it to work. (I can't leave the program file in my extentions folder or it causes really strange things to happen like noises & freezing up!)
**The person I bought my new computer from said the original discs for the G4 would override the OS 10.3.9 Can I install just the 9.1 portion or will I lose everything like she said?
**Some of the Programs I want to install because I can't live without them: Photoshop LE, Quark Xpress, Kodak Camera Software (I have installation discs for all of these). Adobe Illustator & Microsoft word for Mac (no installation discs for these), oh, and how could I forget Simpletext!
**Hundreds of photos & documents created using previously mentioned programs
Could I or should I try to network the two machines? Would that be better because of the shear volume of stuff to transfer?
Could I use the install discs from the old iMac? I think they are only 8.2, though.
If I put everything onto the G4, will I be able to have a separate desktop icon to open OS9 from?
Will I be able to flop back & forth between the two without a lot of trouble? ei: List auction with 10.3.9 using pictures edited & stored in Photoshop in 9.2?
Some Comments:
I like the new machine so far for internet navigation & speed (and no more "chewing noises"!!!) but a few things I don't like: I hate not having the trash can right on the desktop. Also, I really miss not having the column on the upper right (where your open programs were listed) and how am I going to live without an APPLE MENU ITEMS?!!!! Oh, wo is me!.
I love Mac but I wish they would get some place and stay there. It's getting frustrating (& expensive) with all the changes that have happened. Keeping up with mac is starting to be like keeping up with video game machines. (A new one every couple of years that makes the old one obsolete to the tune of hundreds.) I hope they don't get any more PC-like, either. When their mouse starts to have two buttons, it's all over!!!
It's scary reading the problems some were posting about the new Intel machines and classic programs. I'm already fearing the day when a non-Intel mac becomes obsolete. At the rate I'm going, that might be next year!!!
Well, sorry, this is so long but I wanted to give as much info as I could (oh, and some comments!!). Anyway, thank you for any help and/or best advise in advance and in closing something to make you smile (I hope!)......
Mac is so much better, limitations and all
The idea of going PC makes my skin crawl......

Hi, noopysma. There are, as you've guessed, a lot of things to learn about using OS X that will take some getting used to. You've successfully put off learning any of them for about six years since OS X was introduced (just as I did for about 3-1/2 years), and now you're up against it.
The first thing to understand is that you're using a pirated copy of OS X 10.3.9. Because you didn't get the installation discs for it, you don't have a legal right to use it. You should buy your own retail Panther installer disc set. Doing so will both make you right with the law and enable you to troubleshoot and repair various minor problems that may arise, and to reinstall the OS should that become necessary at any time.
Your G4 can still start up from the OS 9.1 CD that originally came with it, assuming you were given the right original installer discs with the computer. Ignore answers #1 and #3 from julien2992 above; they're incorrect. Start up from the "Power Mac Software Install Disc-SSW version 9.1" (holding down the "c" key as usual to force the CD to be the startup disc). After startup is complete, you should find an "Install OS 9.1" icon on the CD. Double-click that to open the installer. Now: are you able to select the G4's internal hard drive as the target for the installation? If so, wonderful. Select the drive and proceed to install OS 9 using the Clean Install option. Be sure to read this article first. It will be reassuring to you:
Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9: Performing a Clean Installation
The reason to use the Clean Install option is that you probably don't know whether any remnants of a previous OS 9 installation may be present on the hard drive, and you don't want them to be used if they are. The Clean Install option will cause them to be disabled and sequestered, and a pristine new System Folder to be installed.
If you're able to go ahead and perform a Clean Install of OS 9, you'll then be able to select OS 9 as the startup OS in the Startup Disk control panel, before quitting the installer. Restart the Mac from its hard drive in OS 9.1, and you will then be able to apply the downloadable updates to 9.2.1 and 9.2.2.
Once you've done that, you'll be able to start the G4 in either OS 9 or OS X from its hard drive, and you'll also be able to run OS 9-based applications in Classic mode when the computer has been started up in OS X. (The first time you open a Classic application in OS X, OS X will probably inform you that some Classic components need to be downloaded and/or updated. Go ahead and okay that. Afterward, your Classic apps should open up and run in Classic without any further interruptions.
If you can't see the hard drive to select it as the target for the OS 9.1 installation, the hard disk driver for OS 9 was not installed when OS X was installed by the previous owner, and you'll have to use Drive Setup to reformat (erase) the hard drive — wiping out the installed OS X 10.3.9 and everything else on it — to install the OS 9 driver. This may be the first of many occasions when you'll need your own OS X installer discs, because you'll have to reinstall OS X if that's the case.
Any OS 9-based applications for which you have the original installer CDs should be installed from scratch using those CDs, not copied form your old Mac. Applications for which you have no installer CDs may be problematical: if you never had the CDs, your copies of the apps are, like your OS X, pirated and illegal, and it may not be possible to copy them from one drive to another and have them continue to function. If you did have the CDs once but you've lost them, you will at the least need to re-enter your serial/registration/activation number for each app when prompted, after copying the app to the new machine's hard drive.
This should be more than enough to keep you occupied for a while. Post back to let us know how you're progressing.

OS9 Boot Deal with Acard Adapter

I installed an Acard 6280 and formatted a 160G drive. It's recognised as 158G. Made four partitions, one of which is called 'OS9' and has 9.2.1 installed on it. First partition has 10.4.5 and no problems. I can open a Classic app and the computer will then go to OS9/Classic and run the app. And the other two partitions are 'usable', e.g. use for 'Apps' and 'Backup/Archive'.
The problem is, when I try to startup in OS9, either with Startup Disk or Option on startup, the 'OS9' partition is recognised but the computer starts up in X. I had a similar partition scheme previous to the Acard and could startup in OS9; now I can't. I don't really have a problem per se but inquiring minds want to know. Not to mention, thru a quirky thought process, I might want to run Internet Exploder in OS9. Not to mention I can't update to 9.2.2.
Any thoughts/ideas?
Thanks!
David

Yep, still have my DT and MT, slight mods to the MT. My son has 'borrowed' the MT but I just bought an iMac G3 600 to give him for his birthday....
Back to work....
Hmmm...the KB about blessing the S.Folder..."1. Start the computer from an external floppy disk or startup CD. 2. Close all your windows, then open your hard disk..."
I used the 10.4 Install DVD. Could not do 2. at all; not sure what that's all about.
While in the installer ran D.Util...got info RE the OS9 vol..."can be: verified, bootable, repaired, formatted, supports journaling, Journaled.."... but....SMART status: not supported.. (also no SMART support for the other vols on the Maxtor).
Any instructions that say 'choose your HD' can't be followed exactly since it's been partitioned.
Then I went to Startup Disk (still in the Installer DVD) and chose OS9. Started in X on the Quantum HD; which is attached to onboard IDE.
Finder...opened OS9 vol...all have 'folder icons'..eg Applications OS 9, Desktop Folder, Documents, System Folder...not smiley Mac icons. Opened the System Folder...some have 'folder icons' and some have smiley Mac...eg Appearance, Apple Menu, Application Support, Color Sync Profiles...etc.
The only ones that have smiley Mac icons next to them are: Apps OS9, Desktop Folder, Docs, and System Folder. Not to mention could not find a System Suitcase.
I stopped right there not knowing if things are whacky in that regard or not.
Does it sound like a clean install of 9 on the OS 9 vol is in order?
(I'm leaving the house and might not get back to yall until this PM or tommorow...thx!)

How can I toggle back and forth from a main pdf to its attachments?

I have a main document that I created in word and inserted hypertext to either link to 1) websites 2) a series of appendices, 3) 6 large format pdf maps or 3) a series of reference documents.
In Word, I have everything in a thumbdrive directory with the main file and three folders holding the individual files of the maps, appendices and references. All the links work but the file can't be copied to another drive without redoing all the links to the files (there are about 40 files all together).
I saved the word main document as a pdf. All the auxiliary files are also pdfs. All the weblinks came through in the pdf of the main document but the links to files need to be re-established.
1. I tried to create an acrobat portfolio with the main file and the folders of maps, references and appendices but I can't seem to make links in the main document to open up specific files in the folders.
2. I compiled all the files together into a binder and tried to use bookmarks to link the main part of the document to the first page of the 40 supporting files but at 700 pages the document is just too cumbersome to recreate the ~100 bookmarks I would need to add.
3. I tried adding everything as attachments and created links but once the link is activated from the main document and the new window opens, the main document has closed up. I need the reader to be able to toggle back and forth between the screen with the main document and the supporting documents.
What I am trying to create is one main document with links to the maps, appendices and references that will open a new window when each link is activated. Then the new window can be closed and the reader is back at the screen of the main document on the page with the link they just used.
This doesn't seem to me like it should be difficult since it almost works in Word except for the file structure.
I would really appreciate any guidance on how to make this work. The document and supporting files have already taken more than a year to put together and I'm stuck at this last step.

I think that the number of clicks to open a file is a rather shortsighted way to compare two operating systems.<<</div>

I happen to think it's a pain to click twice on files when I'm used to clicking just once.
But Tiger is a nice operating system. I enjoy that it has much more capabilities than the OS9. I mean, Tiger keeps up with the advancing internet. My beef is really against OS9. I can open OS9 in Tiger but not Tiger in OS9.

Can't Boot up with 9.2 cd, Can't select 9.2.2 as start up disc.

Needed to use classic app and needed to start computer up usint 9.2.2 (classic). Tried to select it as the start disc under system preference (under 10.4.6). Even though 9.2.2 is on the drive, it doesn't show up when looking in the start up preferences. Then I tried to boot up with 9.2 system disc while holding the "C" button down on keyboard but the computer no longers recognizes the cd. This has not happened prior to 10.4.6. I was able to boot from disc or set 9.2.2 as start up disc under system preferences. Classic will start while in 10.4.6, but cannot start up on it's own. Has anyone run into this problem and if you have is there any work around?????
1Ghz Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6) Running Classic/Hypercard

I am confused when you say you cannot boot into classic.
Booting from OS9 is not classic. Opening OS9 while in OSX is called running OS 9 classic.
Now..if your system allows you to boot natively into OS9, and now you cannot..it is probably due to a firmware upgrade that came with OS 10.4.
Your system does NOT want you to boot from OS9 anymore, so you do not see your system 9 folder as an option for boot up.
I would try to ZAP the P-RAM and then try to boot to your CD.
If that does not work. You may need to boot from an older version of OSX on a different volume or HD (perhaps and external drive)in order to see your OS9 folder again.
It is always good have several Hard Drives with different systems on them for use when things go wrong with upgrades.

BIG Pickle---i have a B-TREE error and need B-HELP !!!!

I speciffically bought this G4 cuz it was suppose be a bit different......called a 'custom built' dual 1.2.5 G4 mmd. i got it right when the G5 was introduced and yes this time i new about the new 32 bit arch. and all the new goos stuff....BUT.......i needed to run my OS9 apps.......would have cost me thouse and to upgrade everything.
my point is......was that true......i was told that a G5 could not run OS9 either could many of the new G4s.......so whats all this about 'partitioning'.......why couldn't i have partisitned a new G5 to run 'classic' or OS9.2.2 ?
I say all this cuz even though i have adabted slowly to OSX, i still need my OS9 for many things........BUT IT DOESN'T WORK !!!......i startup in ( and get a BOMB error-2 what turns out to be a [B-Tree -keys out of order] but can't be fixed by first aid.......CAN'T.
So what was so 'custom' about this G4 ?
-1 what app-fix-utility will fix this B-Tree ?
(must be something other then clean-install)
-2 can anyone tell me what made this G4 cost 2400 at the same time a new G5 cost the same ?
(was that a scam to sell out their stock OR like in may cases as techknowledgy moves on sometimes there are certain things that have unique properties that you won't see again)
The b tree issue only happenes apon trying to open OS9, even in seperate HDs. i emailed 'disk warrior' and they can't say for sure......so im hoping a real MAC addact can help me.
thanks.
-dave

Sorry for the delay.....i do appreciat the detailed help.
Ok Carl.......I have what is called a 'dual-boot' G4, w/ dual 1.2.5. I bought it the same month the G5 came out and you bet i wanted that 32-bit arch i had been reading about....BUT more then one sales person told me that to 'their knowledge' the new G5 and even the recent G4s weren't designed to run OS9..........and remember, before {X] was [9]....and that was the big deal, well like many of us all my apps were OS9 and after hearing that i felt i would need to upgrade litterly EVERYTHING which would cost even more then the fancy G5, so to play it safe i blew 2400 on this dual-boot which Apple was advetising as the G5 came out so i never got a definitive answer if i made the right choice........i explain all this cuz i assumed this B-tree error would have been one of the issues the dual-boot would have been designed to deal with.
All that being said, im still not a 'pro'.....serious amature so i don't have the funds to continully keep up-grading this 'tool' that i use to edit basic video-music projects on. I get it to work just how i like it and am comfortable with, and viola'.......i need not one or two apps but several to do what i did PERFECTLY yesterday, i can't even go to the new sleek apple site and view the new FCP cuz i don't have the latest QT cuz i don't have the latest OS.........to me that is absurd .
Ok sorry about the rant but it does pertain to this. There are some cool FX i simply can't do in OSX cuz i don't have all the same plugins i did in 9......follow........so i open OS9 from startup disc and get this ERROR 2.......i did try to fix from outside reapair app and got the same mess. saying it can't be fixed with that.
funny thing is i was forced to do a clean install last year on my main HD, moved all apps and files to HDD2.......so not sure how this happened, i allso have issues w/ TRASH while im in OSX from this main HD, they 'dissapear' but don't delete space........"where do they go?????" i also have these phantom zero k files that can't be trashed, they all have this weird 'nunununununu' after the ext. I click on it and BOOM it vanishes, then reapears. i think they are linked to PC files that got in here.
any idea what that is ?
so im hoping that all this is related to this B-tree deal.........so if it simply a matter of DISK WARRIOR....what version do i try, remember im still using [OS 10.2.8]
so any ideas you have i will certainly appreciate.......G4-G5 G whizz......im happy w/ this box for the most part, but these anomolies make it sound like a PC.

How can I switch back and forth from Classic to Tiger

How can I switch back and forth from OS9.2.2 to Tiger without restarting? I want Classic as my startup system.

Unable to share Epson R220 printer

Recently installed Epson R220 printer on OSX Panther. After installation discovered it would not install on my G3 with OS9. Additional research uncovered information that it may be possible to network G5 with G3 via Ethernet and thereby print from G3 to R220 installed on G5. I have followed G5 instructions in "Help" (disable printer share in OSX, opening OS9 Classic and enable printer share, etc.). "Chooser" still does not show R220 in Classic and therefore believe it is not be being "seen" by G3. Hope you have enough information. Look forward to your reply
G5x2 Mac OS X (10.3.9) G3 OS 9.2 ethernet connection

Regular (ie, simple) printer sharing doesn't work from OS X to OS 9 because they use different protocols.
If you have the same driver installed on both the G3 and G5 (Classic), you can share from OS X Classic to the G3 by installing and turning on the USB Printer Sharing Control panel (can be downloaded from Apple).
Connecting direct by ethernet requires setup, too. In Network Prefs (OS X) and TCP/IP Control panel (OS 9), set configure manually and enter these local IP addresses: 192.168.3.3 and 192.168.3.4. I don't know if appletalk is required for this protocol, but turn it on on both computers.
Another possibility is to use the Apple Desktop Printer Utility on the G3 to set up a desktop LPD printer. For that you need to share the printer in OS X Sharing Prefs, and write down/remember the OS X print queue name, found in printer Setup by clicking on show Info. Use "Apple Color LaserWriter" (any model) as the PPD/model in the OS 9/G3 setup. This means you will send postscript from the G3 to the G5's Epson print queue. The G5 will prepare the output (called RIPping) and send it to the printer.
Hope this helps.

Ibook G3 700mhz dual drive dead after installing 10.3 please help!

hello
this is my first apple mac and i bought a ibook g3 powerbook which is:
700mhz processor 512k level 2
128mb SDRAM + 256mb stick
20GB ultra ATA hard drive
combo drive
400mpbs firewire port
video VGA
i updated it to 10.2.4 from 10.1 and it worked absolutely great :O)
i then got a 10.3.4 disk this is when problems happened to 'narna' (my G3) i loaded disk first time i did an upgrade install and i did custom install (i didnt want printer drivers and languauges on so disabled them) about 10 mins later came up with error while installing so i quit install, restarted 'narna' and reset cd off again to upgrade....
the second time i forgot to deselect printer drivers and while installing them 'narna' froze. so i had to put power plug out to get it to restart up.
i switched back on and got a grey language screen telling me to press power button to restart. thats all i get...
i've tried option button with disk so i can select the drive from which to start it up and my drive is there with 10.3 on it with a red cross on the box. if i selct that drive to boot 'narna' up from it restarts computer and then while it loads i get the grey apple screen and then it freezes again but this time i get lots of grey/white lines across the screen...
i think thats all the information...what i'm after is there any way i can solve this etc without completely wiping my computer :O( i have the original 10.1 disks but i tried those i can get on and open OS9 on the computer and it shows my other OSX drive with 10.3 wrote next to it... but the restore disks dont seen to do anything with my computer as it just gives my same messages to restart/boot or takes me to drive then it crashes...
please please please help! i've never had an apple mac before so not sure what to do to help it....

Hi giantbutton,
A good first step after any significant crash on a mac, especially if it occurs during an installation of software etc, is to start up from your OS CD or DVD (just like you would if your were trying to install software) but to then run "DiskUtility" instead of the installer. You can access DiskUtility from the "Installer" menu on the menubar when booted from the Panther DVD.
Once Disk Utility is running select your Hard drive in the panel on the left of Disk Utility window and click on "repair disk". Disk Utility will test the drive and repair problems with its directory structures if it can.
Once the "repair disk" process is complete use the "repair permissions" process.
If the repair processes works then you can try a fresh installation of Panther. If not, then your best option is probably to wipe the drive and start from scratch on a "clean" disk.
It is always a good idea to use Disk Utility to "repair" the disk and permissions before installing any OS upgrade or major piece of software.

As far as the memory requirements go, it depends a lot on what you are doing with your computer. If you are running regular "office" type software, browsing the web , etc then 384 MB should be fine for Panther, though you may not want to run too many programs simultaneously. For "heavy duty" tasks (video editing and the like) , though it would be seriously limiting.

And there you will find all the various topics. From there, go to the Pro Applications section, where you'll find the Logic forum I spoke about earlier:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=156
Note also you can click on the word "Discussions" above where it says:
"Apple Community DiscussionsApple.com > Support > Discussions > Power Mac G5 > Using your Power Mac G5" to jump to the main page for Apple Discussions. If no one there has an answer, then I'd contact the maker of FM7.

My classic OS9 applications will not open

My Classic OS9 applications will not open, and I cannot find the classic OS9 application showing in the preferences window.I tried installing Classic OS9 on a disc I had from another computer but maybe it was the wrong disc

Here is apple's take on the subject.

Try this:
1) on your eMac update the machine to 9.2.2
-- ( it needs to be 9.2.2 I think & do not know if you can update to 9.2.2
        on Mac OS X. I think you can update on X, but not 100% sure. )
2) get a flash drive
3) format to flashdrive to Mac OS extended
-- ( guess you could use journaled. )
-- ( need to perserve resource forks.)
4) copy the folder
     System Folder
to the flash drive.
   -- ( this is the mac os 9 folder. Only the Max OS X will/may have the 9 on the folder. )
   -- ( do not move it on emac like to the desktop etc. )
5) copy to your iMac.
6) Bless classic folder. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1929 for how.
Let me know how it goes. Could try it out since I have Classi running in a partition on this machine.
