OS9 incompatibility with upgraded G4 Gig Ethernet:Can anyone help please?
I have upgraded a G4/450 Dual Gig Ethernet to run a 23 Cinema Display using a retail version of OS Tiger 10.4.11 and Classic 9.2.2. Previously, on the original machine I was running Panther 10.4.9 and Classic 9.2.2. The hardware upgrading uses a Sonnet Encore Dual 1.8GHz (7447 chip), and a flashed Nvidia GF6200 and a Pioneer DVR-112D. The OS Tiger upgrade procedure was to install the retail CD, run an install and archive which replaced Panther with Tiger, while retaining the original OS 9.2.2 installation intact on the same drive as the Mac OS.
Tiger has been upgraded to 10.4.11 and is working perfectly. I am able to run my important MYOB accounts in Classic OK which is my main reason for retaining OS9. However, I am having problems with OS9 mode about which I seek help. I would like to clean out obsolete software which I cannot do from Classic mode as many apps and files are unseen by the Classic system.
If I use the Install disk OS 9.2.2 provided with the G4, again the OS9 proceeds loading but freezes after the fourth init (Quicktime) appears. Perhaps the fifth init is the application causing the problem but I cannot identify it on the Install disk when I re-open it in Classic to read the install disk contents.
So is it possible to run OS 9.2.2 via Tiger 10.4.11 or has the upgraded hardware (7447 chipset), created a conflict which prevents the OS 9.2 Install Disk operating properly?
Hi, Austalopithicus -
If I use the Install disk OS 9.2.2 provided with the G4...
The G4 (GE) model originally came with a model-specific version of OS 9.0.4. It can also use a retail OS 9.1 or retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD.
All OS 9.2.2 Install CDs are model-specific; there is no retail (universal install) version of OS 9.2.2. The disk you have for OS 9.2.2 is unlikely to be able to install on that model. The usual way to get OS 9.2.2 on such a machine is to get OS 9.2.1 onto it, then use the OS 9.2.2 download updater to bring that up to OS 9.2.2.
So is it possible to run OS 9.2.2 via Tiger 10.4.11...
Yes.
...has the upgraded hardware (7447 chipset), created a conflict which prevents the OS 9.2 Install Disk operating properly?
Many folk who've installed a processor upgrade have discovered that in order to re-install OS 9 using an OS 9 Install CD requires that the original processor be reinstalled temporarily. Once OS 9 has been installed the processor upgrade can be installed again. Whether this is a contributing issue in your case is hard to tell at this point, but it might be worth trying it.
If you need OS 9.2.2 only for use as Classic, and do not need to be able to boot the machine to it, then you can copy a working OS 9.2.2 System Folder from another machine. This would need to be a full-install System Folder, not one from a machine which is not OS 9 bootable - those Classic installs are not complete.
This copying can be done using a simple Finder drag-and-drop copy process. Unlike OSX which needs cloning in order to successfully replicate it, OS 9 can be direct-copied and remain viable. If you do this, you might also want to copy the OS 9-specific Documents folder and Utilities folder from the source machine.

Will I lose my photos in iPhoto if upgrade to a latest version? I have upgraded my system to Mavericks and now my iPhoto doesn't work. Can anyone help, please?
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store -
i updated my iphone to ios 6. now i can not charge my phone with any cable. it says charging do not support this accessory. what should i do now? can anyone help please!!!!!!!
I upgraded my iPhone 4 last evening to iOS 6, the upgrade completed and the device was usable. Then in the morning I went to the device to check E-mail, Voice Messages, Test Messages, etc... and the phone was dead. I tried plugging the device into a charger (for a couple of hours) - still dead. Plugged into computer with iTunes, device not recognized or discovered, and iPhone was still dead... Took the iPhone into an Apple Store and the Technician looked it over for any visible signs of defect/malfunction, then performed various tasks to breathe life into the phone - nothing... His suggestion, at this point, was to replace the phone. He speculated that the iOS upgrade possibly corrupted the iPhone's charging firmware, and that this device was now a BRICK. Keep in mind that the phone and it's charging abilities were perfectly fine prior to the iOS Upgrade. I hate to go through the replacement hassle and the cost ($159.00) when the iOS upgrade caused the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

@puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks! -

Thank. SimonBrian - The batteries are fine and there has only every been one keyboard paired with it. We have tried my MacPro keyboard as well, and it will not even recognise that there is a discoverable keyboard nearby.

Can't log in with valid password, can't boot from disk, can't access disk utility, in single user mode can't reset password as appears locked in caps mode with '?' for forward slash, can anyone help?
Which keyboard layout you were using? German, French ... I suppose your layout is reset to the default: US and you are unable to find the "?" or "/" ...
Please have a look into the keyboard viewer, to see how the layout of your keyboard is actually.

Hi All, I have the latest version of iTunes, however since upgrading I can no longer get iTunes to recognise that any devices (iPhone / iPad) are connected? Can anyone help please. Paul
Try holding down CTRL as you launch iTunes to see if it will repair the drivers.
Or try Cerbu's post here.
Or see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5, forcing a driver update.
Please let us know which approach works for you...

I only have one apple ID and facetime has worked with it before, but now I get the message "Unable to verify email because it is already in use". I have looked ofr a solution but can't find one. can anyone help please?
I spoke with Apple Support this morning and they believe anything MobileMe related is due to the conversion over to iCloud that's taking place.
As for other email clients, check with your host to see if settings have changed on their end. I use inmotionhosting.com and over the weekend the updated their outgoing requirements so that a password authentication is now needed.
Hope that helps get some on the right path to resolving their issues! -
To function with the format VTR. Can anyone help?
ok i have final cut pro but i use a dvd recorder to record all of my shows and I was trying to figure out if Final cut Pro has a way to function with the format VTR. Can anyone help?
If you want to record directly to the DVD recorder, you'll most likely find that most DVD recorders with a Firewire input will NOT record directly from your Mac. I'm only aware of a couple of models (long since discontinued) that would allow it. So what you have to do it to connect your Mac via Fireiwre to a digital-to-analog converter (most any DV camcorder, VTR or DV converter box), then connect the converting device to your DVD recorder using the analog connections.
If you want to capture from the DVD recorder (hard drive or disc), you can usually do that via Firewire directly to your Mac: in FCP, set Device Control to "Non-Controllable Device" and use Capture Now. Do not expect FCP to control the DVD recorder like it can with camcorders and VTRs.
