Putting pictures on System 7.1 with floppy disk created on Windows PC

Hi all, I have a Quadra 605 on system 7.1 that I've been experimenting with, would like to get some pictures transferred onto it. I tryed using apple file exchange which is on the Quadra to read a Windows DOS formatted disk with some pictures on it. I was able to copy the files from the disk to the hard drive on the Quadra using file exchange, but when I click on the icon to try to open the picture, I get a message that it can not be opened because the application program that created it can not be found. Is there something else I need to install on the Quadra to open a JPEG image or is there another way to go about doing this? I will not be able to connect the quadra to the internet, all I have is the floppy disk drive, there is no USB port either. Also, I have an iMac on system 9.2 that I copied some pictures to a floppy using the external floppy drive on the iMac. It would open the disk on the Quadra without using file exchange, but it wouldnt open the icons either - I would get the same message that the application program that created it can not be found. Anyhow, I have the iMac on system 9.2 that I can use as well if need to be.

An appropriate 68k version of the shareware program GraphicConverter could be one possibility.

An older web browser could be another. Try to open the file from within the application (via the Open dialogue); do not just double-click on it.
However, if not already available, one problem would be to transfer a program to the Quadra 605 if the file size is over 1.4 MB.
Some compression utilities can segment larger files for transfers on multiple floppies, but that would require compatibility on both sides.
Another way could be to use a null-modem cable between a DB-9M serial port of a Windows PC and the MiniDIN-8F Modem Port of the Quadra. The null-modem link can be created by connecting a PC-style DB-9F to DB-25F null-modem cable together with a normal Macintosh DB-25M to MiniDIN-8M hardware handshake modem cable. Normal communications software can be used on both computers (for example, the communications section of ClarisWorks on the Mac, and HyperTerminal on the PC). Do keep a Mac program file downloaded onto a PC in its encoded/compressed state (that is, hqx, bin or sit) until on a Macintosh computer.

Looking for System 6.0.8 floppy disks

Hi everybody
I have an old Mac Plus 1Mb. I'm looking for the 6.0.8 install floppy system disks; I would like to install the system on another SCSI disk I have. I've downloaded the system disk images from the Apple site, but I've not another Mac to use in order to transfer them to physical floppy disks.
I will be happy if there's someone can help me and send the disks to me (even if they're not the original ones, but a copy created from the images, working of course).
You can write directly to: davide (dot) guida (at) email.it <Edited by Host>
Thanks in advance
Cheers
DG

Suggest you join LEM-Swap for buying & selling Mac stuff. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap
After you join, post a WTB (want to buy).
Someone may have the discs & would be willing to ship to Italy.

OLDER PRINTER WITH FLOPPY DISKS

HAVE HEWLETT PACKARD DESKJET PROFESSIONAL SERIES
MODEL C4568A
I JUST GOT A NEW COMPUTER DELL WINDOWS 7 64 BIT
I NEED TO GET THIS PRINTER ON THIS COMPUTER
I WENT TO STAPLES AND THEY PUT 5 FLOPPYS ONTO A CD FOR ME BUT IT DOES NOT WORK
I CALLED STAPLES AND HE SAID IT MIGHT NOT ON A 64 BIT
AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THEM TO DO THAT
THANKS
SANDY

For the Deskjet 820c you will need a patch to use the driver on a 64 bit system. After installing the driver (available through Windows Update) install the patch available here before attempting to print.
The Deskjet 820c does not support USB connections, you will need a USB-parallel adapter that will work in Windows 7. The posts flagged here have converter models users here have reported working in Windows 7 x64.

Accessing physical floppy disk drive from Windows 8.1 host machine to Windows XP SP3 hyper-v?

Hi there!
Could someone help up me? I just wanted to ask if it's possible for a hyper-v to access a physical "floppy diskette" drive?
Here's my setup: I have a Windows 8.1 as my host and Windows XP SP3 as the virtual machine. I would need to access the contents of the physical floppy diskette drive from the Windows XP SP3 vm. This is needed, because, currently our customer is still using
floppy disk drives, to most of their in-house applications. I tried to open Drive A: inside Windows XP SP3 VM while the physical diskette from the Windows 8.1 is inserted. But then again, it cannot directly access the contents. Also, I tried to use "virtual
floppy drives" and copy the files from the diskette. But for some reason, their applications do not support it. I did check device manager in Windows XP SP3 vm, but i cannot see the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" option inside the VM.
Please help!!! Thank you!
All the best,
MS CAMPer

HI Carey, thanks for this, But this is under System Center Virtual Machine Manager. I already saw this a while ago.
Anyway, is there a way for Windows XP VM to access a physical floppy diskette drives inserted to Windows 8.1 host machine? I dont intend to use Virtual floppy disks. Only Physical ones.
Please please. Need your help guys! :( Thank you!

System hangs randomly with hard disk problem

I got some problems with random system failures. After a couple of hours my system isn't usable anymore. Most programs freeze and if I try to start new programs, I get a I/O error message. System console writes many errors like this:
[ 3728.036223] systemd-journald[127]: Failed to write entry (18 items, 517 bytes), ignoring: Read-only file system
Then I have to reset my hardware. This problem occurs since two days. I made an update lately, but I can't remember if that problem occurred after that update.
What can cause such a problem? Where do I find relevant log files?

I just checked my SSD with smartctl. It displayed a warning with a link to: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Crucia … 14544.html. That sounds like my problem. I try to update my firmware.

I am using OS 10.6.8. I have a collection of photos with people tags created in Windows Life Photo Gallery. Can I read them in iPhoto?

Is there a version of iPhoto that will do this?

Depends on what "people tags" are.
If they are keywords, written to the correct fields of the IPTC metadata, then yes. If this is a Faces-like feature then no, there is no way to share such data in any system.

Copying pictures to a floppy disk... how to ??

I have many pictures in Adobe Photo album. My computer is running out of space and I have a zip file that I can down load them to.. BUT I can't seem to locate where I do that at.

Hi Debra,
All the pictures which are shown in Album are saved somewhere in your Hard Drive. To find the location of those files in your Hard Drive select the image in Album and see its properties(Alt+Enter).The properties show the location of the files in your drive.Click on the folder in the properties pane to go to that location. You can copy those pictures from the Hard Drive to floppy disk. In the full version of Album there is the Export menu which lets you export the files directly from the application but in Starter Edition the only option is do it from the folder location.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Smriti

Solaris 8 Floppy Disk Drive Problem

Hi to all!, I need help with Solaris 8 10/00 Intel. I�ve installed it and everything works fine, but I cant make the system to recognize the floppy disk drive, everytime I do a "volcheck", it just ignores it. Inside CDE happens the same thing, when I do check the floppy, nothing happens. Any clue?. I�m using an AMD Athlon 700, with VIA KT133 chipset. Thank a lot!.

Try "ftp" + your email address. (but "anonymous" works, too).
Perhaps a typo or there was some other temporary problem with the
web site.
The K7M boards have different bios release numbers, it seems the
first bios release had a revision number of 1007:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/slota/k7m
Do you have to boot using the DCA floppy for some specific reason?
(for example to install using the >32GB ide-drive patch; network install
and no local cdrom drive; El-Torito CDROM boot does not work at all)?
Or do you have the system already installed by booting from CDROM,
and you just want to get usable floppy/serial/parallel ports under
solaris 8? In that case have a look at http://www.tools.de/solaris/via/. I've written a small driver that attaches to the VIA
686A SouthBridge PCI/ISA device and it re-enables the Super-I/O
controller on that chip. The Super-I/O chip is disabled due to the
solaris ACPI bug and is the reason all these on-board devices do
not work under solaris 8. According to
http://www.asus.com.tw/products/Motherboard/SlotA/k7m/spec.html, the K7M uses the same SouthBridge chip, so my driver should work for
this board, too.

There are Craigslist apps that are nice, but trying using copy paste. Go to your photos, select the photo. Hold down your finger on it to copy. Then in the body of the post, hold down your finger and select paste.

I've got a system 7.1 folder that contains a disk tools.image how can i put this on a floppy disk?

I got myself a PowerBook 165 that has a moved file in the system folder thats stopping it from booting up. I downloaded a system 7 disk tools.image off the internet but the only thing is that I don't know what to do know. I got a usb floppy drive that I use sometimes for my pc stuff but sice mac os 10.8 dosn't have support for HFS I can't copy the image on to the disk. I also have a imac from 2000 that can read HFS files and write them but when ever i try and use disk utility to copy the image over to the floppy disk it always gives me an error. Can someone please help me? I really want my PowerBook to work again.

Was that on the G3 iMac, under Mac OS 9.2 or 10.4?
Is StuffIt Expander installed and active? If so, you could check whether the StuffIt Expander preferences are set to mount images (choose not to instead).
Anyway, download the Network Access Disk 7.5 file (preferably when the machine is running Mac OS 9.2). Use StuffIt Expander to decode the MacBinary (.bin). The self-expanding archive (.sea) will probably open automatically (otherwise, double-click on the .sea file). Locate a Network Access.image file inside the resulting Network Access folder.
Now, try Disk Copy 4.2 under Mac OS 9.2. Do not double-click on the image file. Instead, launch the Disk Copy (4.2) program. Choose to Load Image File, and select and open the Network Access.image. Then, click on the Make A Copy button. It may or may not be possible to create a floppy this way through a USB drive.
If Disk Copy 4.2 does not work, try Disk Copy 6.3.3 (Mount Image under the Image menu) with the Network Access.image file. The mounted image will be called Network Access. Insert a floppy in the USB drive before you choose Make a Floppy from the Utilities menu in Disk Copy 6.3.3.
If the above does not work, again mount the Network Access.image file using Disk Copy 6.3.3. Open the mounted image (Network Access). Inside is a System Folder. Open this System Folder and remove all files from the three folders Apple Menu Items, Control Panels and Extensions (throw them into the Wastebasket/Trash, do not forget to empty the Wastebasket/Trash). The size of the System Folder is now somewhat smaller. Try to drag-copy the System Folder onto an empty (freshly Mac-formatted) 1.44 MB floppy disk in the USB drive. This may or may not work.
Otherwise, you may want to test the Mac OS X dd procedure (the LowEndMac article).
Alternatively, you may want to use an old Windows PC with a built-in floppy drive (and Aladdin/StuffIt Expander and WinImage).

Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?

The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

It is peculiar, that Chrome, Safari, and Skype can access FB, but not the iPhoto uploader.
Do you see any error messages/ diagnostics in the Console Window, when you try to connect to Facebook?
Launch a Console window from Applications > Utilities and clear the Console Window. Then try to upload. Are there any new messages?
And also launch a Terminal and have a look, if "facebook.com" is properly resolved:
Type
ping facebook.com
into the window. Do you see any transmissions? What is the IP address used?
