Problem with emergency bootable OS 9 disc

My current systems:
eMac(2001) OS 10.4/OS 9.2(Bad Condition)-can only be fixed under OS 9 (Norton 6 version)
180gb(Bad Condition) has OS 10.4/OS 9.2 -can only be fixed under OS 9 (Norton 6 version)
iBook G4 10.4 (Good Condition) but I'm highly suspicious the Priviliges may be messed up by one of the lastest security updates.
56mb USB Flash Drive
Step 1 :
Fix Bad Drives w/Norton 6 under OS 9 with emergency bootable repair disk I make.
1st. Problem "I can't successfully install OS 9 from the orginial eMac OS 9 Install Disc onto the temp partition w/out abnormally huge stall (makes me suspicious), compounded by a weird message from Norton saying it can't find a system folder, but then it finishes the install. Note: all files are there, for the OS and Norton, but the temp partition system folder doesn't seem blessed no matter how I try. I end up with an unbootable disc with Toast 6.07 and Toast 5.2 I get an error message of -36 when I try Mac Volume copy w/bootable tagged.
The orginial eMac OS 9 Install disc does work, but how would I install Norton? On a Ram Disk of some sort?
-MAIN SYMPTOM-
Disk Image or Temp Partition seems to struggle with Privileges or identifing System Folders (Note: I have login'd in as SUPERUSER-option S at startup and/or NetInfo Adjustment)
I've made an emergency bootable disc before, and I'm sure my cd burner is working correctly, I'm pretty sure this is software or setting related. These are some of the routes I've taken: create temp. partition, mount, install OS, install Norton, toast(5.2) use Mac Volume or Toast 6 and later add Disc, drop in and place system folder in path, click copy db, add Desktop Folder, burn on Mac Only, and still no go.
Have I overlooked something?

That apart, are you saying create temp. partition,
mount, install OS, install Norton, toast(5.2) use Mac
Volume or Toast 6 and later add Disc, drop in and
place system folder in path, click copy db, add
Desktop Folder, burn on Mac Only… did produce a disk,
but the disk wouldn't boot, yes?
Yes.
My experience in burning boot disks from 9 is that
they have to be built in an image file, not a normal
folder.
Great - I have tried that, but get the same results. This is what I've done:
Make an image, read/write image with disc utilities, install OS - same problem of abnormal delay, when I do the i-option command on the image file, it ignores privileges and will not bless the systems folder.
I did the image file on Toast 6.07, and offhand, I'm not sure if it asked me for an HFS option, but I would have chose it if it did, as I know it is required for OS 9.
I've never tried using a temporary partition and I
guess you're doing that here to distance it from
possible previous damage, not because it has the same
effect as using an image file, yes?
No - I simply tried multiple options, especially those from the Roxio Toast site, since it suggested certain methods. I followed them as close as I could, but I don't recall the long delay on the previous OS 9 installs on any volume I've ever done before, that's why I'm suspicious of my privileges in regards to this issue.
Thank you for asking questions - I think it helps sort out my line of thinking for you guys to help me find a solution. Did you have any different technique with the image file? I'll try anything.

Problem with bootcamp and windows xp disc

Hi! I've been using mac for about 3-4 years now and I am fairly acquainted with my Macbook pro.
My problems surfaced 2 days ago when a friend of mine opened it up and changed the harddrive to this: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/seagate_momentus_500gb/
My friend then did a clean install of OS X Snowleopard (not with the OS X-disc that came with my MBP) and all seemed to work fine.
But the problem is that my MBP don't seem to recognize or can't read Windows-installation DVD's. I insert the disc, the MBP reads the disc 2-3 times and then just spits it out. I have tried this with two diffrent Windows XP SP2 discs and one Windows 7 home disc with the same result.
Sometimes though (completely random) it seems to recognize the Windows disc and I can start the Windows installation via bootcamp, but halfway through the installation the disc still ejects.
The funny thing is that I ONLY have this problem with Windows-discs. OS X-discs, media-DVD's and unwritten CD's is no problem at all.
And I have repeatedly "repaired" and "reinstalled" OS X with both the snow leopard-disc and the OS X-discs that came with my MBP but I still get the same result. I have also tried SMC-resetting and doing a "safe start" but it still doesn't work.
So... Halp? :3

Problem with supplied OS X install discs

hey everyone-
after reading around on here, I found out that using Migration Assistant to transfer the files from my G4 were possibly hurting my performance. I'd also read that the preferred course of action in this case was to archive and install.
well, I popped in my supplied OS X install dvd (1 of 2) and selected everything I wanted to install, and clicked OK. it installed everything off of that disc fine, but when I got to the second disc, I ran into problems. twice in a row the DVD burner (sony DW_D150A, according to System Profiler) spun down when the install item "Garageband Loops" was at 73%.
after spending about 20 minutes trying to get the computer OUT of installation mode (are you reading this apple? TOTAL PITA!!) and FINALLY succeeding (simply by shutting the computer down by holding the front power button for about 6-10 seconds), I re-inserted the FIRST install DVD and restarted holding C to start from the DVD.
I changed the install settings (hopefully to omit the garageband loops), and then it occurred to me to look at the second DVD. all around it, about half an inch from the outer edge, are circular "scratches". I use that term loosely, because it doesn't appear that there are any flaws in the plastic, and it actually looks like errors on the metal film itself! I tried installing again anyway, only to have it stall at Garageband Loops yet again, but this time at only 58%.
I just wanted to see if anyone else was having problems with this? I know I didn't check the DVDs to see if they had any markings on them when I got them, wanted to see if anyone else had these weird markings on their install DVDs.
Zack

I had the same problem (though I didn't see the scratches) with either the Garageband Loops or I think there was something called System Sound Loops. Anyhow, I managed to get the install to work only after telling the installer not to install the problem file. I think Apple had a bad batch (or maybe we're just unlucky). I called support and had them send me a replacement set which I just got today.

Problem with Archive and Install - Second disc won't complete

I'm trying to run an archive and install for my iMac, OS 10.4.11. I get through the first disc fine, but after I put in the 2nd install disc, it gets all the way to the "finishing installation" and then won't move past "running GarageBand Demo Songs Installer Script". it says less than a minute remaining, and the downloading bar is swirling, but there is nothing happening and it hangs here for hours. I've tried reinstalling, but it will only ask me to load the 2nd disk again, and the same thing happens over and over. I even tried a different install disc 2, and the same thing happened. Is there a way to push past this, or start the entire archive and install again? when i reboot to the disc drive with the 1st install disk, it ask me to put in the 2nd disc.
This all started because iTunes was acting up after I got an ipod touch, no prior problems with the computer. Can anyone help?

I've seen this reported before. What some have had some success with is to do a custom install so the second disk is not needed. See BDAqua's tip to someone with the same issue in the Tiger forum.

Problems with the covers of the discs

Hi, I bought an ipod thinking it's the best gadget and I find a small problem, when I synchronize my ipod, itunes change the covers on discs where they should not be, and when I check itunes everything is in order, now how can I solve this problem

I have the same problem with you.
You should read Note 1539463 - Creating system from par is not possible in 730.
I have tried to import nw7.0x par (......gw) to nw7.3, and error when deploy it.
So you can try to create system in Portal 7.0x, and then import it to NW7.3.
Why you want to connect to Exchange 2007? If you try to make sso with exchange tranport, I'm not sure it could happen now.
All the documents talk about Portal 7.0, exchange 2003, windows 2003. That's totally different.
Create system for Exchange in Portal, you don't enter any technical info there. So it is useless if you don't go any further.
And Note note 922040 is closed by SAP which is about Exchange transport.
I have sent OSS message to SAP, but no response after servaral weeks.
You can try to make SSO between portal and owa(outlook web access) with SSO22KerbMap ISAPI module

Have problems with the scenes on a disc menu.

Hi,
Working with Premiere Elements 10 in an iMac OS X v.10.7.4
I have a movie with three scenes on a disc menu (menu template "Tropical vacation" from Muvipix).
I have surrounded each scene with a scene marker in front and a stop marker after on the timeline.
When I burn the movie onto a DVD and then play it on my TV and choose a scene from the menu, it does not return to the menu but continues with the next scene and the next scene and so on until the end of the movie.
Sometimes the movie ends totally after playing a scene
When I preview it before burning, It works perfect.
I place the markers into the transitions. Maybe it is not so good?

Try removing the Stop Marker for the end of the Timeline.
Good luck,
Hunt

Problem with Photoshop Elements 6.0 disc

When I purchased a wacom bamboo fun tablet last year it came with free a Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 disc. However, the disc isn't working. I hvae my serial number and everything, but whne I put the dic in the drive, nothing happens. Is there any way to download Elements 6.0 and then just enter my serial number? (Like how you do with a free trial, I think?)

Yay google!
I have a similar problem.
Im moving to a new computer and cant find the disc for elements 6.
I managed to get the serial off my old computer (using a program made for finding it in registry),
but I dont know how to install it to the new computer without a disc.
Isnt there a trial for it anywhere? I wanna draw!
PS, mine came with my intuos3. the tablet is kinda the only thing I didnt lose.

Problem with iTunes not sorting album/disc sets right, can't edit album info?

Hi there,
I have recently been having an issue with my iTunes software. Here is what is going wrong: I right click on an album in my iTunes library, then select "Get Info." The "Get Info" window pops up, and I seem to be ready to edit my album information. Specifically, I am trying to edit the "disc number" (Disc Number 1 of 33, for instance). I can click on the little number boxes, and I can seemingly edit the numbers inside (i.e., change the 1 to 01). But when I press OK to save the changes, the disc number immediately reverts back to its original variable.
The whole reason I am trying to solve the problem above is a direct result of a previous problem. I recently bought a CD disc set (Haydn's Complete Symphonies) which contains 33 discs. When uploading them to my iTunes, everything was going fine until I reached disc 10 (i.e., the discs were all in the right order in my iTunes library, 1-9). When I hit disc 10, I expected it to show up right after 9 but it instead arrived right in front of 1. I now realize that this must be due to some shortcoming in the iTunes code (it thinks 10 is the next number in the sequence after 1, i.e., 1, 10, 11, 12, or something). I tried another disc (11), and it sure enough it appeared right after 10 (right behind disc 2).
I thought I could solve the sorting issue by putting a 0 in front of the disc numbers (01, 02, 03, etc) in order to get iTunes to recognize the correct sorting sequence. This, however, only created another problem, which is first problem I outlined above: I can't edit the disc information in order to make the vital change.
Could this be due to permissions settings? Is it just iTunes being glitchy? Am I missing something really obvious?
I am running Windows 7, 64 bit and have iTunes version 11.0.5.5 installed.
Any help would be much appreciated!

I'm having this problem too. It does not seem to be a permissions issue. I have found so far that restarting iTunes will allow me to edit a song I have previously been unable to edit.
This is happening with iTunes 9.0.1 (9) I can't say for sure that it wasn't happening under 9.0 - but I didn't notice it then.
I find that songs are uneditable after they have been downloaded to iTunes. Not all songs, just some, on an unpredictable basis. I don't know if there are other older songs with the same problem, or whether it's just new downloads that are being affected.
I've also noticed that it's impossible to delete one of these songs from a playlist.
So - in summary : Download an album ... 2 or 3 songs on the album will be impossible to edit (song info) and impossible to delete from a playlist ... restarting iTunes allows them to be edited ...
It's a really odd one.

Problem with emergency mode

Hi,
After my ipad came back from service, i tried to turn it on. I connected it to pc, turned on itunes, it showed that ipad is running in emergency mode and i need to use recovery to unlock it. I did the recovery thing, but after that ipad restarted and itunes is keep showing me that ipad is in emergency mode (on the ipad screen i can see the itunes mark, cant do anything on it). I did the recovery thing couple of times and it still shows that ipad is in emergency mode. Please help me!

Hey deeer,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPad. From the symptoms you described, it sounds like you are being prompted to restore continuously. The following article outlines information on restore loops:

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please try to troubleshoot security software issues.

Problem With Compatibility Mode

My laptop runs Windows XP and I tried to change the compatibility settings so it would play a game made for WIndows 95. I went into the properties tab of the install file to make the changes and not only did the game not work but now I can't change the settings back to their original state. I tried to go back to the properties tab but I can no longer see the boxes next to the 256 color option and can't tell if that or the other settings are still checked off. How do I get my display back to Windows XP mode?

I had this problem with external volumes like ZIP discs and also external hard drives. Sometimes it was an app used on one of the external files still being open (eg. Word for a text file) which had to be quitted first. The "trackpad" button equals the mouse button which is on the PowerBook. Repairing the target disk via disk utility might also help.

Problem With Target Disk Mode

Folowing upgrade of my Mini and Powerbook to Tiger I have a problem with target Disk Mode when I attempt to eject the transfer to disk following transfer of my user file. I get an error message to the effect that files are in use and the disk can not be ejected. I try force quit (finder only is running) usually to no effect. Sometimes attempting to verify disk permissions in disk utility will clear the problem and allow me to eject the disk. One time it took close to an hour attempting to eject the disk. Is there another way?

Problems with track pad and osx installation disc on macbok.

Okay so I am having two separate problems with my macbook.
First, the track pad, or the button beneath it, is pretty much completely out of commission. When I try and use it, the computer acts as if I am holding down the button all the time. Example, when I drag it across the desktop, the "click-and-drag" square starts appearing next to the cursor or when move the cursor on an icon, it tries to click and drag that. The only way that I can fix it thus far is to hook up my wireless mouse. Hoping someone else has a better solution so that I can continue to use the notebook on the go without having to bring the mouse. Note: the button does not appear to be depressed in anyway.
Second problem is happening when I attempt to reboot the computer with the OS X Leopard disk in for a re-installation. When the gray start-up screen appears, before the gray apple comes on the middle of the screen, a folder icon with a question mark on it appears for a split second and then turns into the normal apple icon after which my OSX disk is spit out of the drive and the computer boots straight to the desktop. I have attempted holding down the control button, the option button, and starting the process while the computer is still turned on and then just restarting it, the disc is ejected upon restart every time. I have reinstalled the OS with this disk once before and it has worked fine and other disks seem to be working fine in the drive, so I am at a lost here.
I know that was a lot of info but if anyone out there can help me out with either one of these problems it would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

exactly the same issu with the track pad here.
I v tried to use it without the battery but the problem persist.
If I use an USB mouse i can move it arnd but wen I click or double click nothing happen...so is useless.Same problem with the Blur Tooth wireless mouse.
The issue appear several months ago...after a couple of weeks went away, and now is back again. I try the routine manteinance but nothing solved the issue.
Any suggestion? I have some urgent work to do ...I will try tomorrow to bring it in an apple store but I can't leave it with them ..
Thanx in advance

Problems with set up disc after upgrading hard drive

I am having problems starting up my Macbook after upgrading the hard drive from 80GB to 160GB. The new hd is SATA, a WDScorpio. The pins on the end look the same, and I've had no problem with the physical install. When I go to start up the Macbook, I get a gray screen and the "flashing manila file w/a question mark" icon. I load the disc while holding down the "C" key, and all that happens is the disc gets ejected. What am I doing wrong? I also have my hd backed up w/time machine in an external hd. Any ideas?

Turns out, my problem is a malfunctioning optical drive. My Macbook couldn't read the set up disc. This is the second time in a week that I have had this Macbook into the apple store for warranty repair work. Last week, It was a defective VGcable. Each trip to the Applestore is 115 miles round trip from where I live. I tried to get Apple to give me a new computer, but no dice. I even had a district manager in Boise Idaho hang up on me. It's too bad when they know they have a product which everyone loves, and wants to use. They can set the terms. How many things must go wrong before they just replace the @#$# thing? I bought the Macbook Feb 12th, so it's not that old. I have handled it with the utmost care. Anyway, I've tasted the forbidden fruit, and will continue to use Apple products. Thanks for your help. I'll probably have a much easier time with a computer that works. (knock on wood)

Instalation Disc Missing, problem with language setup

Hello Microsoft
I have problem with installation of windows 7 home premium (x64). I got licence for polish edition of your OS. Now i was forced to reinstall this, but i lost my disc. I have found an english wersion of installation disc, so i thought hell yeah i will install
this and switch language later as many yours and external help sites says.
Well of course it can't be that easy, BECAUSE YOU HAVE BLOCKED LANGUAGE CHANGE in this particular OS.
So i would like to ask, can you provide a download link for polish installation disc for win home premium (x64)? (I have found lot of possible language versions but not polish)
By the way i have also tried to install language pack manually. What a suprise your clean fresh installed OS deletes any *.cab files, including the ones stored on external drives. I have my own *. cab packages with my personal files witch were also deleted
and if i had'nt made a backup - i would be seriously angry.
With regards

Sorry, but how about we stay aut of "Basic FAQ" answers?
1.) Windows upgrade anytime is no longer avaible for online purchase - this is my message when i run upgrade as 2nd link follows.
2.) I don't understand why im am suposed to buy and upgrade to ultimate wersion when USA/UK, spanisch, french, dutch!, danish!, italian, german or even czech can download an installation disc easly?
Even for other foreign customers you are providing the download disc link on this support site like for example:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_install/where-can-i-download-windows-7-iso-i-have-a/7d964b05-2be9-4800-bc7f-3ca30356fc3d
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/c0e78d7a-883d-4caa-a8c0-1e127a14612a/windows-7-home-premium-download
P.S I really tried to look for answers myself, but most of the links even on microsoft support in other topics are DEAD or redirected to windows 8 store.
