OS 9 CDs in standard format; how to reinstall on HFS+ Extended Format?

After many permission and access problems on and between two hard drives on my G4, I did a wipe and clean install of OS 10.3.9; I also updated the firmware, which I'm guessing is why it no longer boots up in OS 9. Even hooking up my G3 which has a current operating system of only OS 9.2.2, I can't get it to boot on the retail OS 9 disk--so it may be corrupted.
; I wasn't going to reinstall OS 9 on my clean hard drive; however, I have a registered Office 2001 that I needed in order to register Office OS X. Now I can't get beyond the product registration window--many new installs think I'm a brand new user.
In order to use Word at all, I needed to reinstall updated Word 2001 for OS 9 (which was the only disk for Office I have and which I used to update from Word 98) and then hopefully Office OS X would "find" the correct software and registration info.
In any event, I now can't open any Word documents--even really old ones open up the OS X registration page only--which asks for a 25-character product code.
Thus, I have spent countless hours trying to figure out how to work around this.
been unable to do my billings for business, even open a document to read, etc.
I have posted to Mactopia, with no replies after several days; and read all kinds of tech support stuff--assuming the fix is to get my OS 9 CDs in standard format to boot onto my current drive with OS 10.3.9.
When I put the OS 9 disk in the CD drive, and click on it to install the system folder, or anything, I get the error, "this program cannot run on this machine..."
Maybe I have other problems too-just need to know how to work around the disk format issue for now.
Also, how best to check firmware versions, now and in the future.
thanks for any help.

• Please tell us how you "wiped" HDD.
*I believe I first used the disk utility "drive setup" in OS 9 (I could only use OS 9 Classic Mode for a couple weeks due to this permissions problem). So I initialized the drive in )S 9--did not check zero data sum option (or whatever it's called). Then with 10.3.9 Disk 1, I erased it again and then updated with driver and/or firmware?) I also ran verify and repair disk and permissions several times*.
• Did you backup your HDD before erasing the HDD?
*Yes, I backed it up to my son's Macbook Pro because I couldn't get it to burn a backup CD in OS 9 or OS 10.3.9--it would make it to the last few seconds or minute and then quit and show an empty CD. Got tired of wasting time trying to figure out why it wouldn't work.*
• Did you have OS 9 installed on this computer before erasing?
• If yes, did you install from the same installer disk from which you are now attempting to install?
*Yes to both--same OS 9 disks; however, I first put on OS 10.3.9 and installed the OS 9 drivers. I didn't know if I actually needed to have a whole system folder of OS 9 just to run a couple applications. However, I couldn't get past any Word registration page -- invalid codes -- so decided I needed to reinstall Word from the beginning--which is when the OS 9 startup disk gave me the error "this program will not run on this machine."*
*When I couldn't run OS 9 on my G4, I hooked up my old G3 imac via ethernet and tried to use that as the "network" disk to boot from--that didn't work either. Disk 9.1 may be corrupted because today I booted up from 9.2.1 into my G3.*
• Please identify the computer on which you are trying to install OS 9.
*I want to install it on my G4 to be able to use applications in classic mode. I have it on my G3 already.*
• Please tell us exactly which OS 9 installer you are using. What does it say on the disk label?
*See above--white disks with big orange 9.*

    I'm the OP and just read https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5817181 which attempts to outline the error in mavericks with regards to ntpd and pacemaker. I think just replacing the -302.642 with 0.00002 will keep me closer to the mark and I'll anxiously await the real fix as well--in 10.9.2 [hope x3] unless of course someone really knows how to fix this.

  • How to send local e-Invoicing format as Idoc

    Dear sirs,
    I would like to ask you about a translation of a local e-inv format into the Idoc.
    What are the problems:
    - this standard was published by a local government and probably is not compatible in any other format used by "ordinary" (adn sane) SAP people
    - this standard appears in two version: I can get the invoice as XML file or as a ZIP archive which consist of the XML file and the attachments
    - the processing should be asynchronous and we´re expected to use IDocs
    I wonder:
    - how can I send the Idoc with attachments? I am not aware of anything like this
    - if that is not possible (most likely) how would you solve the requirement with as little effort as possible? Would you send the ZIP into ABAP and process it in the ERP system? Some proxies? Or can you come up with some way how to achieve the same? Because I don´t understand how can I send&attach the attachments to the backend where the Idoc didn´t have to be processed yet and I don´t have a document number to associate the files with.
    Hope I don´t ask a crazy question:))
    thank you for your time and effort, regards Otto

    in case your landscape has PI then go for an ABAP proxy
    some inputs can be found here - /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2006/04/19/xi-rfc-or-abap-proxy-abap-proxies-with-attachments
    also regarding conversion of a file to IDoc etc, specific tools (middleware, ESBs) are used to do such transformations and routing

    i am on windows 8 platform, i used adobe elements to work on my image - the output is in dng format, how do i convert this to jpg format?

    When you make a DNG that's like making another raw file, so you will need to convert the DNG file just like your original raw. Don't use the Save button in the raw converter. That's just a link to the DNG converter. Normally you would click Open instead and then save in the editor as a jpg or other image format of your choice.

  • How to keep all text and formats the same on multiple computers?

    I'm creating a file in InDesign CS6 on my Windows computer. I keep everything on my flash drive. When I go to school, I bring my flash drive with me and open it up on the Mac computer, but then there are are compatibility issues. There seems to be missing fonts and formats but the school uses the same version of InDesign I do. Now I was told a lot of things of how to keep the fonts and formats the same (embed the links, package the files, outline the text, save as IDML). However, it is not clear to me what each of those options do, so I don't know when or why to use them. So I just want to make sure that when I bring in my file in next Monday, I won't have any missing fonts or formats. What would you suggest is the proper things to do to keep everything the same on multiple computers? And could you please explain why?

    If you want cross-paltform comaptibility limit the fonts to OpenType or Windows TrueType formats, both of which work on both Mac and PC. To avoid missing font warnings the fonts must either be installed on each computer, or they must be in a folder named Document Fonts in the same location as the .indd file they are to work with. Packaging the file will build taht folder for you.
    the rest of the stuff in your list won't help you. .idml would allow you to open on an older version, but does nothing for your situation. Embedding the links will keep you from having missing links, but so will packaging, and embedded links will make the file much larger and harder to work with.
    For goodness sake, don't even think about outlining the text. It stops being text when you do that and you can no longer edit it.
    And finally. do yourself a big favor and don't attempt to actually work on your file directly from the flash drive. Copy the whole package folder to the hard drive, work on it, then copy back. You don't want to know how many files are fatally damaged by write errors on flash drives.
