OS 9 Classic needed.  Can I use Power Book G4 software in my system?

I have a problem. I know very little about the computer. There is no OS 9 Classic in my hard disc. My computer came to me with no discs. I'm trying to install a printer, and a camera. They ask for OS 9 Classic, saying it's not in the computer. I was told I had to get it from another install. Someone gave me PowerBook G4 9.2.2 Install, and PowerBook G4 9.2.2, 10.11 Software Restore. Can I use these discs in my desktop? Aren't they for a laptop?

If it's just a camera and printer you want to get working, and you are booting into Mac OS X, the easier solution may be to go to the manufacturer's web site to see if there are Mac OS X drivers you can download and install. The reason it's asking for Classic is because the driver installers you have are old Mac OS 9 programs. For the printer, the driver may already be installed. Open System Preferences +Print & Fax+ pane to see if you can add the printer (click the plus sign under the list of printers).
But to answer your question about Mac OS 9... Which Mac model do you have? If it is the same model as the one those disk came with, then you can use them. If the disks are for a different model, it probably will not work.
You can look at the specs here to see if you can determine your Mac model.

In some cases, it will still work. You can try by inserting the disc (the Install disc) into the optical drive. Restart with the C key held down. Are you able to boot successfully from the disc?

  • Can I use Power BI capabilities in iPad with Office 365

    Hello,
    Can I use power BI features in office 365 as native app in ipad ? if this is not possible what are the other options we have to use power BI features in ipad ?
    Thanks in advance.

    HI Anush,
    At the recent PASS BA conference, Microsoft announced that there will be a native iOS app for Power BI by the end of Summer 2014.
    At the moment this is the current availability of Power BI on Mobile and tablet.
    "No matter where you are, you can access data in Power BI for Office 365 through the browser with Excel and Power View in HTML5
    or through the Power
    BI Windows Store app, which provides touch-optimized access to BI reports and models stored in Office 365. We will offer support
    for other widely adopted platforms at a later date."

    How can i use my ipad3 as a complite navigation system(greek lang) without need wifi or 4g engaged?

    With the wifi-only model, yes you will need an external GPS with it. A few have been mentioned on here in the past but I can't remember the names of them - you could try either searching here for them, or just do a search on the internet for iPad compatible GPS devices (I'm not sure how many work with it).

    Can I use Bookshare books on iBooks? Will their format be compatible ?

    I don't think so. It appears that Bookshare uses the DAISY format, and iBooks uses ePub. According to the Bookshare site, you need Read2Go:

  • Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Win32 function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.

    Can I use LabVIEW to load data directly into system memory from a VI? The serial card I'm using isn't supported by NI nor does VISA recognize it. I'm using a Call Library function to read the data from the card and now I want it to go directly to system memory.
    The data is being received at 1Mbps.
    Thanks

    Two questions:
    One, if it's a serial card, then presumably it gives you more serial ports, like COM3, COM4, etc. If so, VISA would see the COM ports, and not the card directly. The drivers for the card should make it so that you see the extra serial ports from the OS. If you don't see the extra COM ports from VISA, then it sounds like the drivers for the card are not installed properly. Do the extra COM ports show up in Device Manager?
    Two, you said that you're using a Call Library function to get the data and you want to put it into system memory. Errr.... you just read the data and you have it in memory by definition. Are you saying you need a way to parse the data so it shows up on a graph or something?

  • Need adobe flash for power book g4 OS X 10.5.8

    need adobe flash for power book g4 OS X 10.5.8

    I fould a hack that makes the sites think you have the latest (Intel) version of Flash installed. So I installed it & it works with Firefox, TenFourFox & Safari. Here's the info.
    Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.

  • Before downloading lion, i want to backup my computer with time machine and a G-DRIVE Slim.  But how can i use time machine to only backup my system once?

    Just wondering, how can i use time machine to only backup my system once? Just this once and not on a weekly basis?

    Upgrade. My three year old Mac Pro and year old MacBook Pro have no problem. Both seem faster.
    And there's your problem reading entirely subjective views on forums, from people that might or might not have decently maintained systems, good operating practices, or whatever.... 
    Strangely, when most companies issue new software, it is because they believe (and believe they have checked) that it is better than the previous version.
