Problems with installing classic 9 with panther

hi folks
i recently purchased a used G4 466 power mac with 10.3.9 panther and wanted to run some older apps from my older 8500 tower but noticed to run the apps i need classic environment installed. cool no problem. i have the 9.0, 9.1, & 9.2 discs in hand. problem is i can't get them installed. i even went to hold down "C" key while starting booting up but nothing different. open up the disc on any of the 3 that i have and hit install (unsure why apple put 2 install icons on each disc) and a pop up asks me if i want to start classic... sure ok..
now i have a pop up saying " there is a problem with the Mac OS 9 system folder you selected. to select another system folder, click open classic preferences. sure ok...
it locates the disc i have in the a drop down pop up comes up saying " no classic sstem folder. you do not have a version of mac os 9 installed that supports classic. install mac os 9.1 or later.
i only have panther on the system on not on disc so i hope that's not an issue to come. anyways i'm going to try booting from disc again hoping i didn't miss anything but i anyone has got some feedback on this i'd be truly grateful.

Hi, Glimmerdrive. The installer application on your OS 9 installer discs only runs in OS 9, not in OS X — so it's essential for you to start the computer from one of those discs in order to run the installer. If you start up from your hard drive in OS X, and then insert the discs and try to run them, you'll get nowhere, as you've discovered.
The G4/466 Digital Audio model was shipped with an installer CD containing a model-specific version of OS 9.1. It can't start up from a retail OS 9.0 or 9.1 installer CD, but a retail OS 9.2.1 disc will boot it. There is no retail 9.2.2 installer disc, so the one you have is specific to some other Mac model, and can't be used on the DA G4. All this means, unfortunately, that the threeOS 9 discs you have are useless to you (unless the 9.1 disc is the one that was originally shipped with your computer.) You'll need either to get that originaldisc or buy a retail 9.2.1 installer.

  • Problem with installing R12  with Win 2008 (Rapidwiz 12.1.1.9)

    I could really use someones help.
    I did a download recently of Oracle Financials R12 for windows (I'm using WIN 2008 server) which contained version 12.1.1.9 Rapidwiz. I was unable to get it to work as individual DVD's which is fine, I build the staging area and had better results.
    The first error I encountered was the release contained JRE 1.6 but the install referenced 1.5. I took a suggestion that I saw to copy the directory and rename it which worked just fine.
    The next error I encountered came during the database install. There was some problem with the database service. It sounds similar to a problem discussed about just the database not related to Oracle Financials but the "fix" to just start the database doesn't seem to apply.
    Below is the Rapidwiz log. The warning first mentioned is to check to be sure that the Administrator user being used in the install belongs to the administrator user group which of course it does.
    I've brought to the top of the log, the error that I think is occurring. Please help me install, I'm trying to evaluate the software but having trouble with just the install is concerning.

  • Problems in instalation/running with JDK 5.0

    I'm rellatively new to Java programming. I've had a few classes, know the basic concepts and have tried some tutorials. Recently I installed JDK 5.0 update 6 in my computer (first I tried the Netbeans bundle, but saw it was very complicated and unnecesary) then found the installation for only the JDK and JRE.
    The compilation goes without complication, but when I want to run the program come the obstacles
    I've tried to start with some simple programs but whatever I do, I get the Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError in every program that I've done. I even tried the simplest HelloWorld program (found in http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/win32.html ) and get the same error
    Now for the important part. I've already did my research, tried to debug everything. First off, added to my PATH env variable the path to the jdk5.0/bin dir to run javac and java in every directory. And also tried running "java HelloWorldApp classpath="dir to .class" and no success.
    I checked the env variable for CLASSPATH and only found a path to a Quicktime dir and nothing else (yes, I have Quicktime Pro installed). I've tried adding the dir of the .class file to it with no success
    I don't know what else to do. If someone has suggestions as to what else there is to do, please do not hessitate to even give the simplest and dumbest of advise

    I agree with the previous poster that it's better not to rely on the CLASSPATH environment variable.
    If you go to this link:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/index.html#basic
    you can find the documentation for javac and java, which may interest you in itself. The one for javac explains the essence of how classes are found.
    Now, assuming you are on Windows,
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/tooldocs/windows/java.html
    documents how to run java. You need to pass as -cp all relevant class paths.
    I know this is not helping you directly, but it's hard if not impossible to deduce the problem from what you wrote (at least to me). But if you try this and you still get the same error, please post the full and exact command line you tried.

  • Problem syncing iPod Classic with iTunes

    A couple of days ago I purchased several albums from iTunes, but none of the songs will sync with my iPod Classic.  I just purchased some other songs, and they synced fine.  I have the current version of itunes and have never had this problem before.  I have approximately 7,000 songs on the iPod. I have tried everything I know. Any suggestions

    Hey catwoman001,
    Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far! iPod software version 2.0.5 is available for the iPod classic 160GB (Late 2009). If this is your model, you may want to update the iPod. If you are having issues with your iPod, the following troubleshooting assistant may help:

  • Help with installing Flashplayer with Ffox 2 & Mandrake 10.0

    I am trying to get my Linux (MythTV) box (running Mandrake V10.0) to view the following site: http://www.abc.net.au/iview/
    It requires Adobe Flashplayer V10, and the ability to run Java scripts.
    I have installed Firefox V2.0.0.20 (since V3 will not install due to needed libraries etc.) in /usr/lib/firefox.
    I cannot seem to successfully install the Flashplayer V10 plugin, despite the .so being present in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins.
    Please, could someone help me with this?
    Regards,
    Il-uvatar
    (WARNING - Linux newbie at the controls)

    Ohluckyme:
    I suspect that by a PowerPC G4 450 MHz you mean a PowerMac G4 450 MHz. This would be either the AGP Graphics or Gigabit Ethernet. Whichever it is, it will support OS 9 up to Tiger (10.4.11), but it does not meet the technical specifications for Leopard. However, both these have very small Hard Disk Drives on the low end, so if you have the 10 GB HDD, I would recommend replacing it before installing OS X, which needs a minimus of 5 GB free space on HDDs 40 GB or less, and 15% on HDDs larger than 40 GB.
    I suggest that you consider either Panther (10.3.9) or Tiger (10.4.11) along with OS 9. I further suggest that you backup your data, then completely reformat and erase the HDD before installation. (Post back for step by step directions for reformat and installation). You will need the Full Retail Version of either Panther or Tiger.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.
    Cheers

  • IMac won't boot with install CD with gray screen

    A couple of weeks ago I turned on my computer and couldn't get past the gray screen (with no Apple logo). I couldn't boot in safe mode, and had to boot with software install disc. I recently had to unplug my computer for a move and when I turned it on I had the same problem. Unfortunately after resetting PRAM nothing happened, and I couldn't boot in safe mode. Then I tried booting with disc pressing C during startup, and it sounded like the disc was reading ( I could hear it spinning), but I still had nothing but a gray screen. Also tried booting with recovery disc that comes with Apple Protect Plan and couldn't get past gray screen. After I leave the computer on for a couple of hours I get the folder with question mark flashing. Can anyone help?

    den.thed,
    Thanks. I tried the sleep method, but if I were listening to music through my Apple TV or was watching multiple movies, the IMac would shut down or go to sleep after 3 hours and sometimes that became a real bother. I have a HD with just my music from ITunes on it and then I have a new 1 TB HD that I have nothing but movies on it. Those are the 2 I want to leave on at all times, but the machine would freeze if I had both plugged in. Thanks!

  • Help with installing Windows with a RAID array

    Hi!
    I hope you can help me.   When I try setting up Windows XP Home I can get as far as the press F6 section of the installation. I formatted a floppy disk and installed the Nvidia drivers just as it descibes in the manual.  However, when i'm prompted to add the Nvidia RAID drivers I get the message "The file nvraid.sys could not be found." and if I try to install the Nvidia storage control drivers I get the message "nvatabus.sys could not be found.  IF I use the nforce3 SATA RAID Driver floppy provided by MSI I actually get all the way through the formatting of the hard drive but when i'm promted to press enter to start loading the Nvidia drivers into Windows it stops and will not go any further.    
    I have checked the the BIOS settings and double checked the BIOS settings.  At first, I tried installing with the hard drives installed in ports #1 and #2.  I have tried connecting the two sata 120GB Maxtors to sata ports 3 and 4.  
    Under Integrated Peripherals, Enable RAID for SATA #3 and #4, disable port 1+2, and enable port 3+4 and vice versa for the previous setup.
    I would then save changes and restart and at the nVidia RAID BIOS screen where it would usually say to press F10 to check the array setup.
    I am frustrated and stumped.  Please help me...Your help is much appreciated, thank you

    Maybe you have not put the files in the correct directories needed to install the files from the floppy, or maybe your floppy is just messed up Why not just use the floppy that is supplied to you by MSI? (Psst its in the box )

  • Weird problems with ipod classic 80gb, hdd's gone?

    Hi, hope u could help me.
    Excuse my not fluent english, I'm not british/american so I will try to make myself as clear as possible. Thanks
    First of all, got iPod classic 80gb, systems Vista/XP, was trying to cope with this problem on both computers, but ran out of ideas, so decided to make a topic on Apple forum.
    Few days ago my iPod was working fine, then I put some stuff on it (put them in 'Notes', using iPod as a pendrive) and weird things started to happen. Maybe it has something to do with it, don't know, but will try to write as many details as possible.
    When I connect my iPod to the computer (i tried on 3 computers), every time my Windows doesn't recognize an iPod (computer sees something has been connected, but doesn't see what). So if I go to 'Computer' I even do not see an iPod disc.
    I can't open iTunes when iPod is connected, but once I disconnect my iPod, iTunes opens immediately. If I open iTunes before connecting an iPod, iTunes works fine but it can't see an iPod as well. (I used an option with checking connection with iPod but it sees nothing unfortunetely).
    Later, when I want to disconnect my iPod using 'safe remove hardware' it doesn't work, just hangs.. so I have to unplug my iPod and once I do it, it immediately appears 'USB xxxxx now can be disconnect safely' (something like that, very similiar to the iTunes case).
    When I disconnect my iPod, it just hangs showing 'Connected, do not disconnect', sth like that, so I got to restart it and then works fine.
    My iPod works fine without connecting to the computer, everything is just fine.
    Any ideas? Already tried to reset settings on iPod and tried to re-install iTunes, but I guess problems lays somewhere beetween iPod and computer which doesn't see my iPod.. Also I tried to re-install USB slots/drivers, didn't help.
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers, Robert.

    When I had Windows XP on a Lenovo, I also had a U2 20Gb iPod...The problem was, believe it or not, the battery! I took it to ipodrepair in Toronto, and they said there was some servo or switch that was blown. It couldn't charge properly and when it was connected to the computer, it went into limbo - not able to charge, not able to load the ipod.
    So, check with repair if you can...It may be the battery, even on a new one!
    Good Luck!

  • Need Help With Installling Classic on OS X Panther??

    Hi: When I installed OS X Panther, I wasn't aware that in order to run Classic 9, I needed 9.2. Well, I purchased 9.2 but everytime I install it it's giving me an error message. I've checked the disk as well as my HD and everything seems to be fine. I've turned off screensaver, unplugged my printer and disconnected the cable to the internet. What's up? It still won't install. It keeps saying there were errors in installing. Can anyone help me out here. I'd sure appreciate it.

  • Install Classic Mac Environment on an eMac with retail CDs

    Forgive me for creating a new post, I'm sure this has been asked before, I'm just not able to find anything helpful .
    I have an eMac (the 1GHz USB 2.0 educational model) and retail copies of OS 10.3 and 9.1.  OS 10.3 is installed, and I would like to install the Classic Mac Environment using my retail copy of OS9, but I can't figure out how to get it to work.  The machine won't boot from the OS9 cd, and when I run the installer in Panther, it stops with a message that I need to update OS9, but cannot unless the drive is writable (which it isn't, because it's a cd).  Is there a way to get OS9 onto my HDD so that I can actually update it, or do I need to buy another copy of OS9 to get this to work?
    Thanks for any help!

    If the eMac is running Mac OS X 10.3 currently, you can try this method, summarized here
    https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/macos9/nR2QQCKaCFA
    This will give you a complete Mac OS 9.2.2 System Folder that you can use for Classic, with no need for an installation CD or updates.

  • Problem with installing and uninstalling applicati...

    hi all,
    I have a problem with installing or uninstalling apps on 808. When i try to install an application through Nokia suite or when trying to run the application file from the phone's memory the screen freezes and becomes unresponsive but the 3 phone buttons work just fine. I have to shut down the phone and the screen becomes responsive again. Anything available to help me wiith this situations as I cannot use any of the apps I have. Any help much appreciated.
    Regards
    Alex

    You are not alone. Im also having the same issue because we do alot of install and uninstall apps. This is the bad point of symbian. But I tired to install the latest FP2 it will be slightly abit smoother now. So you have the latest version now but did you tired to restore any backup yet? It might be the setting on when you restore that affect it. The feezing should be shorten on FP2 but it will still remain there depending on the type of apps from what I experience.
    I hope they will provide multiple function to uninstall apps since it will go through a long process to uninstall apps 1 by 1.
    Reason is because some apps will go through process like preparing install, process install, finalising install which take away your control for that few seconds or a minute instead runnning in background mode. Its not convenient to uninstall more apps.
