OS X (10.4.5) but no OS 9 System Folder

I have aPowerBook G4 Titanium that I bought on ebay. It had been wiped clean when I got it. Not even an operating system. I loaded OS X 10.4.3 and upgraded to 10.4.5, Everything runs great, EXCEPT..... I have no OS 9 System Folder and am unable to run "Classic" applications. How can I get an OS 9 System Folder? Will loading the folder interfere with, or overwrite anything in the OS X system?

Hi, Edward. If you have a 400MHz or 500MHz Titanium, you can buy a retail OS 9.2.1 installer CD and use that to install OS 9. You will then want to update to 9.2.2 for best compatibility with OS X when running in Classic mode.
If you have the 550MHz or any faster model, your only reliable way to obtain a bootable OS 9.2.2 is to buy duplicates of the CDs or DVDs that were originally shipped with the Powerbook. No retail OS 9 CD can be depended on to boot or install anything on the faster Tibooks, since they all require special versions of either OS 9.2.1 or 9.2.2 (and there is no retail 9.2.2 installer at all). You may be able to order the duplicate discs for a nominal fee through Apple Customer Relations, by telephone only.

    A Espinoza,
    The iTunes Media folder is set in Preferences > Advanced, and is the key to most iTunes folder organizational activities.  So I doubt that the automatic deletion will work for files that are somewhere else within the folder structure.
    However, I have not experimented with that issue in quite a while, so you are welcome to give it a try in iTunes 11.

    It turns out that the problem had to do with network accounts, even though it was not clear at first.  Redirecting the program to the local machine's cache with a network home redirector script fixed the issue.  Thanks anyway.

    I am unable to update my App  store Updations. the reason being billing problem asking to update payment method.Many a  times i updated my credit card details but refusing from the system .how can i update my app store updations like  Face book etc....Using ! phone 6plus  .IOS8.3

    What do you mean by 'refusing from the system', if you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
    For a credit card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are. If it is and if you are getting a 'declined' message then you could check with the card issuer to see if it's them that are declining it, and if not then try contacting iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) and see if they know why it's being declined : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
    If when trying to download you are getting a message about a 'problem with a previous purchase' then that implies that iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for your last purchase. If that is the case then you won't be able to download anything else (including app updates) until you've paid off what you owe : Pay an unpaid balance in the iTunes Store - Apple Support
    If you aren't getting the 'problem with a previous purchase' message then try logging into your account (not when trying to download something) and see if you get the 'none' option so that you can remove the card's details and be able to download updates to your apps : Change or remove your payment information from your iTunes Store account (Apple ID) - Apple Support

  • When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library - but two are missing from the folder.

    When syncing my iTunes to my iPad from the laptop, I get a list of missing songs; they are in the library, but not in the music folder on my HD. In particular, I uploaded 3 CDs at the same time, all are in my library, and all synced to the iPad - but the music from two of them are missing from the music folder. Questions are (a) where might they have gone? and (b) is there a way of "reverse loading" them back to my hard drive from the iPad? Thanks in advance!

    Hi dones49,
    It sounds like your issue here is that iTunes can not find the files for some of the songs you have brought into it. This happens occasionally even if the songs have not been moved from the location that iTunes places them on import or purchase. When you try to use the song, iTunes prompts you to find the file, as you have seen.
    To find the file, use the information in this article to navigate through the iTunes media folders -
    Locate and organize your iTunes files
    If you are still unable to locate the files, you may need to download them from the iTunes store again, or rip them from your CDs. See this article for assistance with downloading your past purchases -

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • It's not just Download Helper v4.8.3, it's also RealPlayer: the download display window shows .mp3 files downloading, but nothing shows in the folder when it is done downloading.

    # Question
    It's not just Download Helper v4.8.3, it's also RealPlayer: the download display window shows .mp3 files downloading, but nothing shows in the folder when it is done downloading.
    Also in the '''Properties''' window of Windows Explorer I '''no longer have the Details tab''', so I can't update my mp3 files with Artist, Album, Genre, etc. But the details tab does show up when I access it thru Windows Explorer.
    I ran the AVG rescue disc an no viruses found. Now on '''FF3.6.15''' '''RealPlayer''' shows when I right click but then '''immediately disappears and an icon appears in the System Tray''', but as soon '''as I hover my mouse over it it disappears'''.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
    How can I get this fixed? I have time-sensitive mp3s that I won't have access to anymore if I don't get this resolved in a hurry. (no pressure on you, I'm the one that's stressed about this) Can you help? Thanks so much for responding to this '''inquiry.''''''bold text'''

  • I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?

    I took the system file out of the system folder on os 9.2 can't boot to put file back in machine also has osx 10.2 but won't let me boot to either need os 9 compatible boot disk I think?

    If the OS X 10.2 on the hard drive is/was bootable, try this -
    Restart or boot, then immediately press the X key, keep it held down until you know the machine has started to boot using OS X. This is a hardware instruction to the Mac to boot using the first usable instance of OS X it finds.
    Once booted to OS X, you should be able to move OS 9's System file into OS 9's System Folder.
    Note - in general, unless you know for sure what you are doing and that the results are desired, do not relocate or rename files in OS 9's System Folder or in OS X's System or Library folders.

  • Created ringtone, but itunes created a Tones folder instead of Ringtones

    I created a ringtone by cutting a song up into a 29 sec. clip. converted to .m4r and synced with my iphone.  itunes and the phone created a Tones folder and put the file there, but there is no Ringtones folder and I cannot find the tone on the phone to choose as a ringtone or sms tone. 

    Yes, I have it set to sync everything.  When the iphone was docked it syncd and downloaded the newly purchased tone onto my PC itunes. Looking at the the Tones folder while docked in itunes and I can see both files in the Tones folder of the iphone and the PC.  I've scrolled through the whole list of tones and do not see my created ringtone at all.
    i know I have gotten it onto the phone. When I first created the ringtone and syncd the iphone it created the Tones folder on the phone and I immediately saw the ringtone on the phone. 
    I assume that there is something wrong with the file that I created like the bitrate or filesize that is keeping the iphone from recognizing it.  I have not had trouble with this in the past though.
    I used a 3rd party program to cut up the song to make the ringtone as I always have.  Should I try to use itunes to make the ringtone?

    "Where do I find my hundreds of dollars of downloads I have done since 2005?"
    They will only be where you put them  If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
    The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country.  You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

    I installed the latest version of flash player and it said installed successfully and i can use it just fine, but when I checked system requirements it didnt seem to match. it needed 2.33 ghz and I have 2.13ghz. can this cause problems to my computer? i have an intel i3 proccessor, windows 7, internet explorer.

    Since all Intel i3 processors have at least 2 cores, your specs are well above the requirements; see http://ark.intel.com/products/family/75025#@All
    I have some computers with far slower processors, and Flash Player 14 works perfectly well on them too.

    I want to copy my iPhoto library to an external drive but I cannot find the folder on my Mac Air. When I open Finder there is no Picture folder showing so I cannot find the iPhoto library.

    Choose Go to Folder from the Finder's Go menu and provide ~/Pictures/ as the path. If that doesn't work, control-click a photo in iPhoto, show it in the Finder, and Command-click the folder's name in the window's title bar to find the path.

  • TA38556 I am trying to set up my apple tv using the hospital network. I am able to detect the network and chose it. But the way the system works is that you have to agree to the terms and conditions of using their network. How do I accomplish this with ap

    I am trying to set up my apple tv using the hospital network. I am able to detect the network and chose it. But the way the system works is that you have to agree to the terms and conditions of using their network before access the internet. How do I accomplish this with apple? Please help.

    There are some other options to you, if you're not at home and nobody is using your router you could set it up at the hospital, if this isn't an option you could get a second router and use it.  Many ethernet routers are available on the cheap, and ethernet cables are cheap too.
    Also, a macbook can share it's internet via the built in wifi it has.  See this go to settings-sharing-internet sharing and configure as desired.  This may require an internet connection via ethernet.  But you should be able to create a wifi network for using something like airplay/home sharing.
