Powermac G5 hangs when entering classic environment

I think I once saw a solution to this problem about a year ago on the baords, but it seems to have been deleted. When I try to run a Classic-only app, the "classic boot-up" screen appears, then hangs within a second or two. As my sig notes, I'm running a Dual 2.3 GHz G5.
My vague recollection of the solution to this problem was that some file had to be moved around or a sys pref changed. The thread was called "Getting Classic up to snuff" and I had a link to it, but it doesn't work any more.
Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or any other solution to get Classic working on my Powermac?

Dear Steve,
Do you mean "PrefRestoreInit" which is under
HDD > System Folder > Extension folder > PrefRestoreInit
Looking at the issue with a lager perspective I am suggesting you to go for following actions.
1. Open System Preferences, and choose View > Classic. 2. Click the Start/Stop tab, and look for bold text that says Classic is "running" or "not running."
3. You want to be sure Classic is not running. If it is running, click the Stop button.
4. Click your desktop.
5. Choose File > New Folder.
6. Give the new folder a name such as "Previous Mac OS 9 Items".
7. Choose Go > Home.
8. Open your Library folder, then open the Classic folder that is inside it. (Your current path is: ~/Library/Classic/).
9. Move all the contents of this Classic folder into the folder you named in Step 6.
10. Go back to System Preferences and click the Start button to start Classic. A dialog asks if you want to populate the folder you just emptied with files from the Mac OS 9 System Folder.
11. Click OK. Items are copied from the cleanly installed System Folder, and folders reappear at ~/Library/Classic/.
12. Once Classic starts, check to see whether the issue persists. If it does, you may have an application-specific issue, and you need to reinstall the application.
Also you can disable extensions while starting the classic environment.step :
1. As Classic or Mac OS 9 starts up, press and hold the Shift key to disable extensions.
2. Locate the FileSharingLib extension. If it is not in the "Extensions (Disabled)" folder of the System Folder, then try locating it with the Mac OS X version of Sherlock (if applicable).
Alternative solution: If you cannot locate this extension, an alternative solution is to find the file "PrefRestoreInit", which should be in the Extensions folder inside the System Folder.
3. Drag FileSharingLib into the Extensions folder, which is in the Mac OS 9 System Folder.
Alternative solution: If you could not find FileSharingLib in the last step, then remove PrefRestoreInit from the Extensions folder.
4. Restart the computer or Classic, allowing extensions to load normally.
If this does not help then follow the article to rebless the system folder
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=18611
There is one specific file for classic in the core folder did you mean that file ?
Hope this information is helpful.
Godd Day!

  • Thunderbird hangs when entering addresses

    When I begin entering a name in the To: field TB 31.5.0 hangs for a few seconds.
    I have noticed that there is one email address in the address book that is repeated thousands of times. So many times that the computer and TB kind of time out when trying to delete them all at the same time.
    I saw a similar problem in 2014 messages but it didn't involve the multiple addresses.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    I have experienced the duplications, it was caused I think by the gContact sync add-on. Once the address book gets huge, the lookup to address mails gets correspondingly slow.

  • Solved: Mac appears to hang when "Enter Time Machine..."

    I run TM and keep my sparse bundle on a Synology Diskstation NAS.  Since the begining in March 2011, my Mac has always appeared to hang after trying to "Enter Time Machine...."  I am now running Lion 10.7.2 and DSM 3.2-1944 and seeing the same issue.  It turns out that this appears to be a bug in the fancy TM graphics interface.
    TM uses a cascaded Finder window to allow you to brouse your backup history.  If you run multiple "Spaces" and the existing(new) target Finder window does not reside(popup) on your current Space, you never get to see the cascaded display.  Yet, if I ensure that there is only one Finder window open and it is displayed on my current desk top, then the fancy cascaded TM interface displays just fine.
    Note, if you do happen to "Enter Time Machine..." on a secondary Space, just hit ESC.  TM will exit and the current Space will pop over to the target Finder window.  If you "Enter Time Machine..." a second time, it will work fine as the target Finder is now on the current Space.  Looks like someone failed to issue "set current Space" before disabling the Spaces manager...
    UPDATE:
    Looks like I am rediscovering known bugs, #3: http://pondini.org/TM/E4.html but above is an alternate workaround to turning off "Spaces".

    If you're really at 10.5.8, do you have the 10.5 Install disk to boot from & Install that... so we can get further?

  • Photoshop Elements 6 now hanging when entering music to slideshow.

    I haven't created a slideshow in a while and attempted to do so last night.  Here are some specifics that I am hoping someone may be able help me figure out the issue:
    I am running windows vist home premium SP2, 2 gb ram, 2 ghz intel processor and 160 gig hard drive.  I have elements 6 installed.
    I've previously been able to create and output slideshows without issue but that all changed last night.
    I entered the create slideshow and selected a few pictures from the catalog.  I clicked on the preview and the slideshow worked fine.  I then added an MP3 to the slideshow.  At this point....if I hit the preview button again the system hangs.
    I check the process and Elements is using between 50% and 90% cpu, but never advances.
    I tried to unintstall and reinstall with no luck.
    I then downloaded the trial version of version 8 and I get the same results.
    The only thing I can figure is different between the last time it worked correctly is that I am now on SP2 instead of SP1.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    the problem seems to be with the mp3,could please specify the size of the audio file which you were using  and please try an audio file with a smaller size.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know some details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is you library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Prints in OS X and when booted to OS 9.2, but not Classic environment

    This is for an iMac G3 400MHz with 256MB running a fresh full installation of Jaguar 10.2 and OS 9.2. The printer is an HP LaserJet 2100M with a Netgear FM114P print server.
    I first installed the printer under OS X, and that works fine. Then I booted to OS 9.2, installed under that, and it prints fine when I boot to OS 9.2. But it does not print from the Classic environment started in OS X. No error messages are generated. Mac OS seems to think everything is fine. On that point, it may be worth noting that the print server only offers one-way communication (but that works fine when I've booted to OS 9.2).
    Anyone recognize this problem?
    Further notes: The Netgear is a firewalled wireless/Ethernet router with print server that is now set up in access point mode rather than router mode. It is an access point for a 2Wire gateway. The LaserJet is the only thing connected to the Netgear.

    I thought about trying to install the printer a third time, from the Classic environment, but did not figure out how. (Classic environment only shows the Desktop during startup.) I think it would require starting a Classic app, opening the Apple menu from there, and doing something .....
    At any rate, I found a solution: print in the foreground (no spooling). From the Print window within an application (File | Print), choose Preferences | Background Printing | Print In: Foreground (no spooling). Then click Save Settings to make this choice the default.
    This tip appeared in Apple article 106687, "Mac OS X: How to select an LPR printer in Classic" for the case when "the job doesn't print as expected."
    If you try to print with Command-P rather than using the Print menu, printing still spools and thereby fails. I don't know why this is since foreground printing is now the default and does not needed to be selected afresh from the print menu. It seems that Command-P runs the job with certain defaults rather than the the user's saved settings.

    Just an advise
    On it's first time fully charge and discharge - vice versa for three times. After that don’t drain your battery every day to 10-20% of its charge. You can actually expect battery problems by draining the battery frequently.
    Roughly every 30 charges, deliberately discharge your battery to 10-15%, and fully charge to 100% afterwards.
    This will help maintain the accuracy of the “fuel gauge” on the device (your battery meter or scale). It has nothing to do with the battery memory but helps maintain the accuracy of the device’s percentage of battery charge left.
    Good luck

  • Why is it when I try to load photoshop 5.5 it says "cannot open the application install 5.5 b/c the classic environment is no longer supported"?

    What does it mean; "cannot open the application photoshop 5.5 because the classic environment is not supported"

    It's not part of Mac OS X 10.5 on a PowerPC Mac or of any OS on an Intel Mac. You need to use Mac OS X 10.4.11 or earlier, or a newer Photoshop version.

  • Classic Environment and Tiger

    Hello, all. I installed Tiger about a month ago. (I was previously on 10.2.8.) Ever since then, I can't open any OS 9 applications. When I try to open one, I get this message:
    "Classic needs to update files in System Folder on Macintosh HD.
    These files will not affect starting your computer from the System Folder."
    My options are Update or Quit. If I Quit, then the Classic environment closes. If I Update, I get another message, which reads:
    "There is a problem with updating the Classic-specific files. Classic was unable to update its files in the System Folder on Macintosh HD."
    The only option there is Quit. If I Quit, then the Classic env. closes.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks, all,

    But if Mike can't install any software from the install disks then he can'at fix things he hasn't installed, either…
    Mike, if the Apple repair folks returned the wrong install disk you first need to get the right one, either by pressuring the repair folks or by purchasing a new set, which may still be available through some combination of AppleStore/AppleCare depending on your location…
    It is standard practice throughout the IT industry that when there is any problem at all in returning a machine with the same software/data set-up it had on arrival in the workshop, it will instead be returned in the theoretical factory state, which tends to mean with either the shipping software or the latest system updates.
    It's also a standard assumption that first backing up any data and/or settings is entirely the User's responsibility and maddeningly, the third standard practice is to assume that all Users know this in advance and do not need warning.
    No modern Mac ships with a System Folder for Classic installed, although if you did have the right original disk set all Macs capable of running X, up to and not including th enew Intel Macs, do include installers for pure or Classic 9 as appropriate… which takes us back to you first need to get the right one, either by pressuring the repair folks or by purchasing a new set, which may still be available through some combination of AppleStore/AppleCare depending on your location…
    If a friend can ever find his, the installers from a different Mac may not work at all on yours and if they do, may not produce anything stable.
    However, with 10.3's Disk Utility you should be able to mount and manually extract the System Folder from the coded image on a Restore - not an Install - disk from another Mac and use that for Classic, but not for pure bootable 9 on another Mac

  • How can I install software without Classic environment?

    I've got a huge problem. My Powerbook hard drive failed and no data can be recovered. So, because I needed a new computer, I just got the new iMac intel. But here's why I'm freaking out. I've got a lot of software (like Quark Xpress 6 and Addobe Acrobat 6.0) that are all upgrades to previous versions. But since the new iMacs don't run Classic environment, I can't install the older versions of software so I can install my upgrades. What on Earth do I do? I'm a graphic designer - so I HAVE to have Quark on this new machine.
    I have a lot of software in Windows format. I keep reading different things that say I can boot Windows on my new iMac. Does this mean there is a way for me to install software that runs on a PowerPC on my new iMac? If so, how do I do that?
    I need all the help I can get with this one. I tried contacting Apple and did a chat with an Apple agent that got me nowhere. All I know is that I cannot afford to buy the full versions of software right after buying this new machine. HELP!!!!!!!

    Congratulations on your new iMac.
    Quark can be reinstalled by inserting the upgrader disk and double clicking the Quark upgrader icon. A dialog box opens that asks "In order to begin upgrading your current version of QuarkXPress you will be asked to locate the directory". At this point, while holding down the "Option" key, click the "ok" button. The install should go smoothly from there.
    In regards to Acrobat, any older version requiring classic will not run on your new intel iMac. However, if you've already purchased an upgrade, i believe there is an option of opting to enter your old serial number, rather than pointing the installer to a previous installation when installing the upgrade.

  • How to force Tiger to print doc within Classic environment, not with OSX?

    I want to print certain documents using OS9's printing utility within the Classic environment, and NOT using Tiger's standard OSX printing method. How?
    I know it is possible because I have two Macs connected to the same printer, and it works on one and not the other. I can't figure out why.
    Here are the specifics:
    I have a printer, the Ricoh Laser AP2600. Connected to it are two computers:
    a PowerBook G4 running 10.4.7, and
    an iMac running 10.3.9.
    When I print documents from OSX applications, the two computers take the exact same time to print. HOWEVER, when I print from Classic applications, the iMac running 10.3.9 prints very quickly, but the PB running 10.4.7 takes two to three times as long. That's because the iMac prints the document using the old OS9 "Print Monitor" printing utility, and never passes the printing back to Tiger. Whenever I try to print a document from a Classic application on the PB, however, it passes the printing to the standard OSX printing method, which (for some reason) is much slower.
    (Sorry if I'm not using the right terminology.)
    I checked and double-checked, and as far as I can tell, all the "printer descriptions" and "drivers" and everything else is absolutely identical in both System 9 "Extension" folders on both computers. I installed the exact same Ricoh print-driver packages for OSX and Classic on both machines identically. So -- why does one print quickly within Classic, and the other pass the printing job back to slow OSX?
    The specific application that causes this discrepancy is MSWord 5.1a, a very old version that only works under Classic. (I use it a lot because I prefer it to more recent versions of MSWord.)
    A secondary, but related, question: Why does printing documents from within the Classic environment go so much more quickly than in OSX? It seems to be one of the few aspects of OSX that's worse than OS9.
    So -- how can I make my PB behave like my iMac? Is there some difference between 10.3.9 and 10.4.7 that causes this different behavior? Any hints or suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Thanks.

    OK, I have finally solved the problem -- mostly.
    The trick was to click on the Chooser option called "PSPrinter" -- not LaserWriter 8 or any of the others. I took a chance on that since I knew that the Ricoh 2600 was a PostScript printer. When I clicked on it, and chose "Set up printer," I was able to set up the Ricoh driver. Then, when I tried printing, it worked -- it printed within the Classic environment, not in Tiger. And what a difference!! Under Tiger, a simple page of text takes 45 seconds to process and print. Under Classic, the exact same page processes and prints in 8 seconds! A huge difference. So, I finally got it to work.
    The downside is that I can't get it to "stick." If I restart Classic (or the entire computer), the next time I go back to print in MSWord 5.1a (my Classic application), it will have reverted back to the Tiger method of printing. So, the first time I print a page in 5.1a during any session, I have to go to Chooser and select PSPrinter. This adds 15 seconds or so to the process, so printing a single page overall isn't any faster, if you add up all the steps. Subsequent prints all are done quickly in Classic automatically, as long as Classic hasn't restarted. (I can even quit the application and restart it without a problem -- only an OS restart causes it to revert back to Tiger printing.)
    So, my basic problem is solved, and I'm fairly satisfied. But I still have two nagging issues that I wouldn't mind answered if anybody knows the answers:
    How can I make my Chooser printer selection in Classic "stick" permanently from one restart to the next? Why does it revert to Tiger printing after a restart?
    And the fundamental question: why is Classic printing so much faster than Tiger printing? I thought Tiger was supposed to be a "digital hub" that made communicating with peripherals so easy? In most ways it is, but why is printing the one way in which OSX is WORSE than OS9, at least in regards to speed?

    We are having the same problem as well and this has been reported else where as well.
    We were able to reproduce this problem on the full blown Weblogic application, with a simple program which creates a large number of connection in quick succession - after a certain number of connections ( about 60), the client simply hangs! It turns out that this is a known problem with iPlanet 5.1 with SSL: http://www.openldap.org/lists/openldap-software/200205/msg00567.html
    I have also posted this message to the Directory Server forum at Sun, but have not heard anything yet!

    There have been quite a few other cases of this problem ( probably manifesting itself in other forms!)
