OS Package and Superdrive for upgraded G4 Sawtooth? HELP!

Greetings, I have an orphan 400Mhz Sawtooth that was upgraded to 1.25 Ghz (logic board and processor) and am having a hard time replacing a dead OS drive. I have to buy all new OS discs for it and their are some OS9 complications. I need OS9 to update the firmware for a superdrive, but can't find a copy of OS9 that my computer will accept.
1. If I buy the "retail box" of OS9, will it be compatible with my MAC?
2. Which OS9 version would i need for initial install? 9.X.XX??
3. Can I upgrade from OS9 straight to Leopard and bypass Tiger/Jaguar?
4. Any tips for install of OEM DVR-112D superdrive?
5. How do i use my RAID card?
Thanks in advance!

1. If I buy the "retail box" of OS9, will it be compatible with my MAC?
Yes.
2. Which OS9 version would i need for initial install? 9.X.XX??
I believe these models were supplied with OS8.6 so in theory any version of OS9.
3. Can I upgrade from OS9 straight to Leopard and bypass Tiger/Jaguar?
Yes, but Leopard will not run Classic so if you want to run any OS9 apps you will have to boot natively into 9.
4. Any tips for install of OEM DVR-112D superdrive?
Go to www.mac-sales.com They have online videos on how to install drives in various model Macs.
5. How do i use my RAID card?
I know almost nothing about RAID so will have to bow out of this one.

  • What can I do about paying for Office from a commercial store, and itunes charging $100 for smart converter, ms office package and pack for ms office $41.99? It surely looks like double dipping

    Hi folks, I am puzzled when looking at my itunes account. I bought a store office 365 package for $100, and in the process of installing it, somehow ended up with fees for smart converter, ms office package and pack for ms office, totalling another $90 from itunes. Isn't this double dipping and if so, how do I go about a refund? Thanks jby

    Well, MS Office 2004 is available for the Mac and being a user of both the Windows and Mac versions, I think that the Mac version has a slight edge. The only downside is that it does not come with MS Access so if you use that then you have to stay with the PC version.
    But... if you are set on mainly using Windows then paying a substantial premium just for a computer that looks good rather than on the fact that it runs OSX and hence great packages such as iLife etc is probably a waste. This is especially true when you have to remember that Apple will not give any technical support to users running Windows.. nil, nada, nowt! Likewise, Microshaft (sorry Microsoft) also seem unwilling to give support at this time since (for some strange reason) they don't like the idea of Windows on a Mac.
    As I see it, the main reason for Apple to release the ability to run Windows was to:
    a> Produce an 'official' version rather than have an unauthorised version 'in the field' which if problematic, could give Apple a bad name.
    b> Give people who would like to have a Mac but have the occassional program which has to be run under Windows, the ability to switch to a Mac.
    Option b was the reason why I switched from years on a PC to the Mac.

    There are no upgrades for Student and Teacher Editions. You can continue to use the version you are using, or you can buy CS6 with no special upgrade price, or subscribe to Creative Cloud. However, I believe if you still qualify, you're offered a discount on Creative Cloud.

    Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
    iWork > Pages
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    comme il y a un dossier
    iWork > Numbers
    contenant Templates > My Templates
    Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
    puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
    puis lancez la recherche.
    Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
    Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
    Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
    Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.

    The installation/upgrade procedures for the integrated IGS are as follows:
    Integrated Version Installation
    The integrated IGS is automatically installed with the SAP Web Application Server.
    Integrated Version Upgrade
    You find the upgrade files for the integrated IGS version on the SAP Service Marketplace:
    http://service.sap.com/swdc  ®  Download  ®  Support Packages and Patches ®  Entry by ApplicationGroup  ®  SAP Frontend Components ®  SAP IGS  ®  SAP IGS .
    There, you find the IGS executables and libraries (igsexe_.sar) as well as the IGS folder structure (igshelper_.sar) containing among others font files.
    With the upgrade files of the executables and libraries, proceed exactly like you would with kernel patches (for example, extract the Archive to the same location). More information about kernel patches can be found in the related note 19466 in the section Copying and Installing a Patch.
    The upgrade files for the IGS folder structure must be extracted to the instance directory (DIR_INSTANCE). More information can be found in note 1028690.

  • What's the deal with notes and screenshots for upgraded app versions?

    We uploaded a new version to replace our 1.1 version of an app in the store.
    There was some confusion today that still persists:
    (1) For a while, the link to our current version app became invalid and we lost like 2/3rds of our normal sales until the link became valid again. Anybody else ever see that happen? Very frustrating.
    (2) Right now, there are two app versions inside itunes connect - the current selling one and the upgraded version awaiting review. I know the old one disappears when the new version is approved and goes on sale. But what is confusing is that the new screenshots and notes for the new version are also displaying in the current app version on sale in the store! I went ahead and added an explanatory note to potential downloaders... but is this a bug or something? Or is that the way it has always worked?
    How do people here tend to handle the timing of new screenshots and descriptions when you add new features and want to show them off in your update app?
    Thanks,
    doug

    This has been discussed a number of times here already.
    The only items cached for an update release are the specific 'update/what's new in this version' notes.
    All other changes will be updated immediately (within a few hours).
    You have 2 choices:
    1. Post the changes with a note (i.e. this is the next version, awaiting apple approval) so users aren't ticked by downloading the latest actual version.
    2. As soon as your update is officially released (monitor it) change the text and images.

  • Transformation and DTP for upgraded 3.5 objects in BI 7.0

    Dear  Experts,
       When I do a upgrade from  bw 3.5 to BI 7.0, How do I  create transformation and DTP for the upgraded objects. Do I need to create new transformation and  DTP  for these  objects?.
    Thanks,
    Varun

    If only needed nw2004s data flow(DTP,Transformation..) then migration required else you can stay with old 3.x dataflow.
    Follow below links patiently it has wealth of information embedded.
    For nw2004s data flow
    Pre-requisite - 3.x datasource to be replicated as 7.0
    and migrate datasource with "export datasource option" so that you can later revert back to OLD if needed.
    nw2004s Concepts
    new NW2004s Data flow
    R/3---->PSA only (using Infopackage) for all the Loads -Mandatory
    PSA -
    >ODS/Cube -->load using DTP ,create transformation first
    no Datamart architecture in NW2004s
    so ODS -
    >Cube load using DTP ,creating transformation first
    Once loaded to PSA in DTP you have the option of FULL or DELTA ,full loads all the data from PSA and DELTA loads only the last load of PSA.

    Migrating update rules/transfer rules routines to Transformations - Trick
    On the InfoSource Tab (Note- Ensure DataSource and Infosource have not been migrated)

    3. Right Click > Additional Functions > Transformation erzeugen
    On the DataSource Tab
    4. Create Transformation (Map to DSO, should map automatically)

    help!!!! So i Changed my apple id account and i was trying to update my instagram app but when i tried to, it brought up the old account and asked for password, help what is going on, what should i do??

    - Go to settings>Store and sign out and sign into your account.
    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • I currently have a Macbook pro 10.6.8 and i'm interested software upgrade What are the advantages and disadvantages for upgrading my software.

    Ok... the only reason why i want to uprade my software is because of StarCraft 2. For those that don't know, Heart of the Swarm is coming out this March. I've been eagerly waiting for this expansion. I just read that SC2 HOTS will not be able to support any software below lion. I currently have 10.6.8 and i was wondering what are the disadvantages and advantages (aside from being able to play this expansion) of upgrading my software? Are there any draw backs, etc.

    Go all the way to Mountain Lion if you can...
    Upgrade to Mountain Lion
    But...
    Before attempting any Major Upgrade... get yourself an External Hard Drive... and create a Bootable Clone Backup of your current Hard Drive...
    By far the easiest way to make such a Backup, is to use something like
    SuperDuper  http://www.shirt-pocket.com/
    or CCC  http://www.bombich.com/
    That way, should anything untoward happen during the Upgrade,
    you will NOT LOSE ANYTHING.
    (Get an EHD that is at least equal to your current Drive...)
    Also, get more RAM...
    You can use this Link to check which RAM is suitable for your Mac...
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/
    It is Important to get the Correct and Matching RAM
    For best performance, fill all memory slots, installing an equal memory module in each slot.
    That site also has videos on how to Install RAM should you need it...

  • What to do about archived projects and events for upgrade

    Like many, I created folders 'Events - Archived' and 'Projects - Archived' In whichI put many eents and archives no longer needed and why clog up space in fcpx's windows while working.
    Before upgrading, do I need to now move those back into the FCP Events and FCP Projects folders or does the process see what they are and include them in the new libraries?
    best,
    elmer

    In order for those to be updated, they need to be moved back to the "Final Cut Projects" and "Final Cut Events" folders. If you have lots of them, it is wiser to NOT do them all at once, as that would create a very big and unwieldy, inefficient library.
    I suggest you follow Mark Spencer and Steve Martin's advice on this series of free videos that cover the new library model and the updating process:

  • Itunes plus is overlooking numerous albums and sons for upgrade

    I've been upgrading my music using iTunes plus. Unfortunately, iTunes is failing to offer me the upgrade option for several albums and miscellaneous songs -- despite the fact THAT THESE ARE STILL AVAILABLE IN THE ITUNES STORE.
    I haven't changed accounts or anything.
    Has anyone else had this problem and managed to get it solved by Apple? How?
    If I have to rebuy these albums, it sure and heck won't be from Apple.
    Thx.

    Yes I have the exact same problem. While many songs show up in my "Upgrade to iTunes Plus" link on the iTunes Store, there are many many more that do not appear in this list. These are the exact same tracks, on the same album, and the same price point (bought for 0.99 and they are still 0.99) but they don't show up in the upgrade page.
    Further to this: I think if the songs you originally purchased have changed price points (was 0.99 but now the price is 1.29) then the upgrade may not work.
    Another annoying thing I noticed is that many of the upgrades that I did purchase are actually different versions of the tracks from a different album, even thought the original version of the track is there at the store on the same album at the same price point! Very frustrating.
    Would love to hear if somebody knows why some tracks don't show up as available upgrades.
