OSX to OS9

I'm trying to connect from Tiger to OS 9.2.2 but whehenever I try to connect over the Ethernet network I get the following error:
The server may not exist or it is not operational at this time. Check the server name or IP address and try again.
The name of the machine is present and even if I try to use the IP address of afp://192.168.1.68 i get the same error message.
Any ideas?

OSX 10.4.x can no longer do AFP over Appletalk...
"As a solution, enable the TCP/IP protocol on the AFP server if it offers this option. If no TCP/IP option is available, connect to the Tiger computer from the computer that is the AppleTalk-only AFP server (instead of trying to connect from the Tiger computer to connect to the older computer). This method works because AppleShare client software on the older computer can connect to a Tiger computer over TCP/IP, even if it can't offer service over TCP/IP."

  • Lots of problems in changeover from OSX to OS9

    Hi,
    I have a G4 bought in 2001. It operates fine in OS9, but I recently got broadband, which isn’t compatible with OS9. Therefore I had to start using OSX and I have had nothing but problems since. Here is the list of problems:
    1. Internet Explorer regularly freezes or quits. I have tried to download both Safari and Firefox but my computer won’t open or install a ‘.dmg’ file. When I click on ‘get helper application’, a window opens to show my Internet Plug Ins folder, which is empty.
    2. If I shut down OSX, then start up again, the computer appears to boot up correctly. However, if I shut down from OSX and restart in OS9, I get the message ‘your computer did not shut down properly’.
    3. If I am in OS9 and select OSX as the start-up disk and click ‘Restart’, the computer shuts down instead of restarting. If I then push the start up button on the front of the tower, the computer begins to start up but then shuts down after about 30 secs.
    4. If I am in OSX and it freezes and I am forced to start it up with the button on the front of the tower, I do not get the message ‘your computer did not shut down properly. Disk First Aid will repair'.
    5. In OSX, Microsoft Word often freezes and I cannot exit the programme so I have to restart the computer forcibly.
    6. I cannot print from OSX, only from OS9.
    7. In OSX, in Outlook, if I attach a document from the Classic Environment to an e-mail, the recipient cannot open the attachment. I can move the document to the OSX desktop, but then I can’t print it without putting it back in the Classic Environment and going back to OS9 to print.
    8. In OSX, the CD drive won’t close when I press the ‘close’ button. It does however close in OS9.
    I would welcome urgent advice on how to handle these problems.
    Many thanks, Suzie.

    Hi,
    I have a G4 bought in 2001. It operates fine in OS9,
    but I recently got broadband, which isn’t compatible
    with OS9.
    What kind of 'broadband'? Broadband should be compatible with OS 9. I know I used it when I had OS 9. What problems were you having.
    Therefore I had to start using OSX
    Which version of OS X? If you're using the version which shipped with your G4, that might be 10.0.x... which is Not Ready For Prime Time. In fact, 10.0.x is little more than a joke and is unusable. 10.1.x was at least usable, if slow; 10.2.x was a nice system. 10.3.x was much better, and 10.4.x better still.
    I hope you have enough RAM. Running 10.1.x with less than 256 MB is not going to be enjoyable; ramp that up to at least 512 before trying 10.4.x.
    and I
    have had nothing but problems since. Here is the
    list of problems:
    1. Internet Explorer regularly freezes or quits.
    MSIE on OS X isn't very good. Get Firefox, or, if you have the right version of OS X, Safari.
    I
    have tried to download both Safari and Firefox but my
    computer won’t open or install a ‘.dmg’ file.
    Save the file to disk, open it with DIsk Utility.
    When I
    click on ‘get helper application’, a window opens to
    show my Internet Plug Ins folder, which is empty.
    I suspect that you're using 10.0.x and are finding out why that version is NRFPT.
    2. If I shut down OSX, then start up again, the
    computer appears to boot up correctly. However, if I
    shut down from OSX and restart in OS9, I get the
    message ‘your computer did not shut down properly’.
    I suspect you had Classic open, under 10.0.x, and didn't close it before shutting OS X down. This was not a good idea in 10.0.x.
    3. If I am in OS9 and select OSX as the start-up
    disk and click ‘Restart’, the computer shuts down
    instead of restarting. If I then push the start up
    button on the front of the tower, the computer begins
    to start up but then shuts down after about 30 secs.
    I'm not sure what that is, but I suspect 10.0.x is misbehaving.
    4. If I am in OSX and it freezes and I am forced to
    start it up with the button on the front of the
    tower, I do not get the message ‘your computer did
    not shut down properly. Disk First Aid will repair'.
    You've got directory errors. Run Disk Utility or buy Disk Warrior and run that.
    5. In OSX, Microsoft Word often freezes and I cannot
    exit the programme so I have to restart the computer
    forcibly.
    Which version of Word? I suspect that you're using either 98 or 2001 under Classic. If that's the case, and you're running 10.0.x, it's not Word that's the problem, it's Classic, and the fix is to get a newer version of OS X.
    6. I cannot print from OSX, only from OS9.
    Which printer are you trying to use? And do you have the Printer Center set up?
    7. In OSX, in Outlook, if I attach a document from
    the Classic Environment to an e-mail, the recipient
    cannot open the attachment. I can move the document
    to the OSX desktop, but then I can’t print it without
    putting it back in the Classic Environment and going
    back to OS9 to print.
    This wasn't clear. You should be able to have a doc open from OS X or Classic, no problem. And if you can print in OS 9, you should be able to print in Classic.
    8. In OSX, the CD drive won’t close when I press the
    ‘close’ button. It does however close in OS9.
    It shouldn't do that.
    I would welcome urgent advice on how to handle these
    problems.

  • Downgrade from OSX to OS9?

    I currently have OSX 10.4.5 on my Powermac BW, but I'm trying to do a boot install of OS 9, I have both os 9.1, and OS 9.2.1, I do not have the restore disc, and I have tried holding C, which does nothing, as well as zapping pram, which causes OSX to fail to boot, I'd either like to install classic, or wipe the hard drive and just run OS9. Thanks in advance!
    PowerMac BW G3   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    It sounds like a couple of things possibly.
    A non-bootable DVD drive (unlikely as you got Tiger installed).
    An OEM version of OS 9 rather than retail/universal.
    You don't have a partition that doesn't have OS X?
    How about a 2nd drive? Always good to have a backup drive; and, with B&W where booting external is only possible with SCSI. A PCI drive controller for 2nd drive (and better performance as well as large drive support) in either ATA or SATA interface.
    My system will always find OS X if I let it (I don't even have OS 9 drivers).
    Sounds like you need to shop for another drive. Why wipe Tiger? and that way you can have backup, OS 9 partition.

  • How to install OS9 in OSX with OS9 disk?

    I just got a G4 with OSX installed and no disks I want to load OS9 for classic support with the OS9 disk I own. Do I need to do anything special to install? All the forums mention the OSX disk which wasn't included in the purchase I made. I don't suppose I could just copy the os9 system folder from my old computer and place it where it belongs in OSX ? Thanks for the help. CJ

    CJ:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.I don't suppose I could just copy the os9 system folder from my old computer and place it where it belongs in OSX ?Yes, you may. Andrew is right. I have done it many times and it works perfectly. The beauty of doing this is that you don't have to do all the updates that you would have to do if you installed from disk.
    The only concern I would have is whether Mac OS 9 drivers were installed when the disk was formatted for OS X. If they weren't, OS 9 would not work no matter how you installed. They very well might have been installed, though as DU usually has it selected by default.
    Good luck.

  • D'oh! What fool am I - stuck CD trying to install OSX over OS9 on old iMac.

    Have just been given a turqouise(?) iMac which was running OS9 perfectly well.
    Never having used anything other than OS X I decided to try installing that to the iMac using the OS X install discs that came with my MacBook. What a disaster! So far OS X is not installed - probably no surprise?
    On boot-up I get the chimes, then the Mac hangs. The first and last lines of a fairly long message are:
    First Line:
    panic(cpu 0 caller 0x002E54BC): Unable to find driver for this platform: PowerMac2,1
    Last line:

    And the OSX install disc won't eject. I've tried all the various combinations mentioned on other posts to get a stuck disc out - all to no avail.
    Have I wrecked this iMac? Can I fix it - how? Can I get my install disc out without taking a hammer to the iMAc?
    Any words of wisdom (and/or admonishment) gladly received.

    The usual remedy for ejecting a CD is to turn the computer off, then start up as usual while holding the mouse button down.
    If that works, you should update the firmware on the iMac. This will help:

    After that, try installing X in the usual way.

  • Can long file names survive OSX to OS9 to OSX?

    This computer has dual boot capability, but since owning it I haven't actually booted to OS9 and have used it extensively with Tiger. I know OSX supports much longer file names than OS9. I recall back when I used both OS9 and OSX computers if I took a file created under OSX and looked at the directory under OS9 that all the long file names were truncated and/or encoded at the end (I never did it the other way around and always stuck with short names on all the files I used on both systems). Now I'm wondering if I boot to OS9 and then boot back to OSX if something permanent will happen to my long file names. Will they survive a passive journey but not if I actually open them with something, such as all my music files if I have them in SoundJam? A simple answer probably, but maybe I can get an answer here rather than the "backup, try it, and see" method.

    Will they survive a passive journey
    Yes.
    if I actually open them with something, such as all my music files if I have them in SoundJam?
    It depends on whether the application supports long file names; if not, the file's actual name will become set to the encoded name upon copying or modification of the file, and the application may not be able to access it. Using a Disk Copy version that doesn't support long file names to convert a disk image containing them without resizing the image will preserve them.

  • Sorting OSX vs OS9 filetypes for clone/backup/storage?

    Hi all,
    Is there such a shareware or other way of doing this?
    I plan to use SuperDuper to clone onto a eternal FW drive, but in the short term want to back up various files (documents, apps etc)from OS9 to burn on DVD.
    The HD has no partition and has OS9 on top of OSX (10.3.9).
    Or is this a waste of time?
    Thanks

    Hi Anthony,
    cloning your hard disk to an external firewire drive is an excellent idea. Unless you created a separate folder for OS 9 files there is no way to tell them apart (and if you had such a folder you would not be asking this question, right?). It does not make any sense though because most file formats are bound to their application and are independent from the system version.
    If this answered your question please consider granting some stars: Why reward points?

  • VNC OSX and OS9 not working

    I'm using the following applications:
    Server (OS 9):
    http://www.redstonesoftware.com/vnc.html#OS9vnc
    Client (OS X):
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/cotvnc/
    I can not seem to see the OS9.2.2 G3 W/B from the Snow Leopard MacPro. By all the searching I've done, these two applications seemed highly recommended if one could not afford to purchase Apple Remote Desktop (WAAAAY too expensive)
    I've set up file sharing as well and even then the two machine do not see each other. The Mac Pro will access the HD of the G3 after I tell it what IP address to go to, but it does not automatically see it like I see other computers on my network. So I have to wonder what I'm missing.
    I need to access the G3 on the network and remote control it. Any suggestions?

    Hi, Howab. When you erased the drive and reinstalled OS 10.3, you probably did so using a retail OS 10.3 installer disk set or a retail 10.3 upgrade set, neither of which contains or can reinstall any version of OS 9. Then perhaps you tried to reinstall OS 9.2.2 using an updater rather than a full installer disk. An updater requires some previous OS 9 version to be in place so it can be updated; the updater is not a full installer.
    To reinstall OS 9 if you don't have the set of discs that came with your iMac, you will need to buy a retail OS 9.x installer CD (white with a big gold "9" on the label). Don't buy a gray OS 9 installer disc: those are all model-specific and unlikely to work on any model other than the one with which they were originally shipped.
    Note that if your hard drive was erased without selecting the option to install OS 9 drivers on it, it will not be visible when you start the computer up from an OS 9 installer CD. In that case, there is no option but to erase it again, being sure to select that option when re-erasing it.

  • Help!/Networking G5-OSX, G4-OS9, PC Windows

    Cannot get these 3 computers all online. Not even sure I have everything plugged in the correct way.
    Have G5 Imac w/OS 10.4 wirelessly online via Airport
    Have G4 PowerMac w/ OS 9.2 ethernet plugged into a 5 port 10/100 switch.
    Have Window PC also plugged into the switch.
    The switch is plugged into the Airport port
    The Airport is plugged into the cable modem
    The only computer online is the G5 w/Airport.
    Would also love the 2 Macs to share a printer. They don't have to as I have a printer for each but the ink is going to break me and I don't understand why I shouldn't be able to share one
    But with the two operating systems (even though Classic 9 is on G5 as well)maybe that isn't possible???
    I have no idea what I am doing and how to fix this. Please is there someone who out there who does?

    On the G4, open the File Sharing control panel and allow connections through TCP/IP; next, note down the G4's IP address. If it still doesn't show up on the G5, choose Connect to Server from the Finder's Go menu on the G5, provide the IP address you noted down, followed by an username and password set on the G4 in the File Sharing control panel.

  • Made Tri-boot:OSX/OS9.2.2/Ubuntu. How do I get OS9 to be bootable again?

    Situation setup:
    A friend gave me an iBook 300mhz clamshell to use. I wanted to set it up to dual boot between OSX and OS9, but realized that it was a bit outdated for OSX. So I bought a 466mhz iBook se logic board (will have to dremel out a hole for the firewire port), a stick of 512MB RAM, an airport card and am looking for a DVD burner to round off the upgrade. Rather than wait for the new logic board to arrive (which would probably allow me to install OSX via firewire), I decided to install the two OSs onto a 20GB drive in a powerbook Ti 500Mhz computer, and then transplant the drive over to the FrankenBerry clamshell. I have read a few articles/posts where people have installed OSX for the clamshell in this manor.
    I had OSX/OS9.2.2 dual booting fine, when I came across Ubuntu for powerpc. Hmmmm...Might be nice to have three OSs on the clamshell. I repartitioned the drive using iPartition, creating 4GB of free space...OSX/OS9 dual boot still worked fine. So far, so good. I then installed Ubuntu Feisty 7.04 into the free space partition and got it to dual boot between Ubuntu/OSX. I figured the only way to get back into OS9 was to boot into OSX and choose OS9 in Startup Disk, which I did. When I reboot, I get the floppy icon and question mark ?!? I thought OS9 was simply a folder in the OSX partition and didn't have any sort of partition(s) of its own...does it?
    I had to insert my G4's OSX install CD to change the Startup Disk back to OSX (booting with Option only shows the first OS found on a drive). Once in OSX, I successfully started up classic, pointing it to the OS9 System folder. It told me it had to update some disk drivers in order to work, but that it wouldn't affect my OS9 install. Sure enough, I still can't boot into OS9.
    Question:
    Is it safe for me to re-install OS9 from the G4 install CD, or will that somehow mess up the OSX and/or Ubuntu installation? My gut tells me that installing OS9 won't touch anything in another partition, but I had something bad for lunch and I don't think I can trust my gut at the moment. Also, since I had already updated to OS9.2.2, should I trash the OS9 apps/system folders and secure empty the trash first?
    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    Have you tried holding down option on boot to see if
    you can see the os 9 install?
    Yup, that's why I mentioned it in my post. I found that holding down option will only show one os per partition (or per hard drive, can't tell at the moment), so if I set OSX to be the startup disk, that's all I see from my local HD when holding down option key during boot. If OS9 was set as the startup disk, then all I see from the local HD is OS9 when booting with option key. If I do choose OS9 from the option screen, or simply let it try to boot OS9 on its own, I get the floppy icon and question mark alternation.
    It just seems very peculiar to me that after adjusting the partition and rebooting, dual boot worked fine, but not after installing Ubuntu, which supposedly only touched it's one free space partition at the end of the drive. If Ubuntu only installs in an existing free space partition, how could it be possibly to erase any OS9 disk drivers? ie.creating the free space partition itself 'should' have caused whatever damage was going to be caused to OSX or OS9. Neither one of those OSs should be looking in the free space partition and Ubuntu shouldn't be looking outside of it.
    Thanks for your input and encouragement, I'll probably just try throwing away the OS9 folders and re-install it from my G4 install CDs.

  • I want to reload original software in IMAC G4 - i have original disks, can i install OSX first and then load "software restore 1 to 6" and not load OS9

    I just purchased a used IMAC G4, cpu G4(1.1), powermac 4,2, 800MHz 15 inch FP and 55 Gig hard drive.  I now have 750 k memory and it is working fine.  i want to reload the original software.  i have all original disks -CDs. These include OSX Install; OS9 Install; Software Restore 1 to 6 CDs; Imac applications. 
    Question, please, is which CD do i load first?  Also i hope it is not necessary to load OS9.  I would think OSX install first and then the software restore disks and then the imac applications?
    Thanks.
    Robert.

    Boot from the disc labeled Disc One. Follow instructions and when you get to the part to select a Destination/Target drive click once on the drive then click on the Options button. Select the option for Erase and Install then click on the OK button and proceed.
    You do not have to install OS 9. If you don't then you simply cannot use the OS X Classic emulator.
    I believe there is a separate installer on Disc One for restoring pre-bundled software.

  • Importing Contacts from OE5 (OS9)  to Thunderbird (OSX)

    I've just moved to OSX from OS9, where I used Outlook Express 5.02 for mail.
    I'm setting up Thunderbird but am unable to import the Address Book and Messages from OE. There is no option in Import for OE and any files in OE Main Identity that can be recognised via Thunderbird's Import fail to come across.
    Ideas, please. Thank you.
    Michael

    Having given up someone suggested a solution which works, albeit tediously. In summary the process for 10.3 (it was suggested 10.4 was different) is:
    Import messages into Mail from OE.
    Find imported files in Mail's Mailboxes folder. Make a copy and work on that.
    In turn control-click each .mbox file and choose 'Show Package Contents'.
    From window that opens move the file named mbox to your profile folder in Thunderbird's Profiles folder. (In practice it was simpler to rename each mbox with the name I wanted that box to have before moving it rather than rename it as soon as it was in Profiles.)
    Restart Thunderbird.
    Check structure against Mail (assuming you worked on a copy) or OE.
    Depending on any folder structure you used in OE you need to check exactly what it is you are moving. With hindsight it might have been better to move the mailboxes across in a flat structure then create any folders.
    Importing addresses failed again. I was pointed to a free utility called Address Book Exporter which creates a .txt file from Address Book, that was easy to import into Thunderbird but although cards were created all had some/all information missing. I have given up on that!

  • Working with both OS 9.2.1 and OSX 10.4 on Prismo

    Hello,
    My profile is not entirely correct as it is back to OS9 right now ( I think), I'll sum up what I did (some of this was probably a mistake)
    Initially a Prismo Firewire with OS9:
    1) Copied OS9 applications to a flash drive.
    2) Replaced 12 gbhd with 120 gbhd
    3) Added 512 mb more ram
    4) Installed OSX Tiger 10.4
    5) Installed iLife05, iMovieHD and iDVD5
    6) Copied OS9 applications from flash drive to a new folder which I named "OS9 Applications" in case I needed those old apps.
    7) Found out I needed some of those OS9 apps so I used the original OS9 disks and loaded 9.04 (clean install), updated to 9.1 and then updated to 9.2.1
    8) Rebooted and it opened to OS9.
    So did I "erase" OSX when I installed OS9?
    What do I need to do to be able to use both OSX and OS9?
    How do I choose what OS I want to use or how do I switch between the two OS's?
    Sorry if this is a duplicate of posts by others. I looked at a lot of them and did not find any that sounded like my dilemma.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you're in OS9 now, use the Startup Disk control panel to choose OS( or OSX 10.4 - I think NetBoot may also be offered.
    If you're in OSX, use the Startup Disk System Preference and choose from OS9, OSX or "Network Startup".
    OSX should still be on the disk if you didn't reformat the disk when installing OS9.
    Just one issue may arise, flash drives are normally formatted FAT16 or FAT32 for use with Windows PCs. Your OS9 Applications may be hosed if you haven't reformatted the flash drive to Mac HFS / HFS+. This can be achieved in Disk copy / Disk Utility.
    At least you still have the 12GB drive with everything intact on it.

  • I can print in classic but not OSX.

    Fistly, what a great forum! I'm a recent convert to iBooks, have been reading as much as I can on this site to try to become as much of an expert as possible.
    After much swearing I've now worked out how to use my Lexmark Z12 printer. If I reboot into OS9, I'm able to install the drivers from the cd and the printer works.(I've spent many frustrating hours downloading both the OS9 and the OSX drivers from the Lexmark website, but they just do not work when I'm in OSX.)
    This is a bit of a drag as it means having to transfer documents between OSX and OS9 by emailing myself! My question is, if my printer works in OS9, is there no way of printing in OSX with Classic running?
    Also, are there any dangers in switching between operating systems so frequently?
    I should probably bite the bullet and buy a new printer but the one I have works perfectly well and I hate waste!
    Any suggestions gratefully received.
    Brendan

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    From what I can find online, it seems that the OS X drivers for your printer only work through OS X 10.2. Functionality of your printer was broken with OS X 10.3. Printing in Classic is not supported, according to what I've read.
    You may find that buying a new printer is cost-effective if you compare the costs of replacement ink cartridges.
    As far as I know, there is no hazard in switching between operating systems. Apple intended that it be used that way.

Maybe you are looking for
