Reinstall OS X and OS 9, correct order?
I just got a PowerBook Lombard off of eBay. Works great, but the install is cluttered with a bunch of junk from the previous owner. I have the install disks for OS9 and OSX 10.3, but I'm not sure how I should go about wiping and reinstalling.
I require being able to boot into real OS9, and I require being able to use Classic inside of OSX. It would also be swell if it could all go on one partition.
What order do I do this in so that things don't go wrong. I read things about how wiping the harddisk and now people can't boot OS9 install disks, and what have you.
Please advise.
Mike:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
The Lombard is pretty nice computer, although it has a few limitations. However, it will support OS X Panther (10.3.9) natively.
Since there is, as you say, a lot of junk on the computer, the best course is to reformat the computer. Install OS 9 drivers is essential, as Kurt noted, although if it was running OS 9 before it will already have been installed. In any case, reformatting the drive will destroy everything on the HDD and start you out with a clean slate, so to speak.
Here's how:
Format and Install OS 9
This process will completely erase everything on your Hard Disk Drive. Be sure to Backup your User Folder and all third party apps you can't afford to lose
1. Boot from your OS 9 install CD holding down C key.
2. Go to Drive Setup and reformat your drive as Mac OS Extended (HFS+)
2. Reinstall OS 9
3. Update to 9.2.2: Mac OS 9: Available Updates
Your computer has open firmware and will not need a firmware update.
To install Panther your computer will need to meet the minimum system requirements for Panther and you will need the Full Retail version of Panther. Software License Agreement which statesThis License allows you to install and use one copy of the Apple Software on a single computer at a time. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time...
The Lombard shipped with 4 GB to 10 GB HDDs. OS X needs a minimum of 5 GB to operated efficiently, so hopefully you have one of the larger HDDs. To conserve disk space I have included a suggestion to not install a couple of space eating options in the directions below.
To install Panther:
1. Boot from the 10.3.x install CD 1
2. Go to Installer Menu and launch Disk Utility
3. Go to File menu and Repair OS 9 Permissions!
4. Quit Disk Utility.
5. Open Installer
6. Choose to Customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations and Additional Printer drivers.
7. Check box to install BSD Subsystems.
8. Install Mac OS X 10.3.x
9. Restart and Repair permissions (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility)!
10. Download and apply the 10.3.9 Combo Update
11. Restart and Repair Disk Permissions as previously!
12. Run Software Update and apply all updates available
13. Repair Disk Permissions (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility)!
Please post back with further questions and/or comments.
Good luck.

Dual boot drive - Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard - Correct order to load software /apps?
Hi
I want to create a dual boot drive for Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard as some of my hardware (is not supported in Mountain Lion).
I am happy how to do this, I just want to know if there is a correct way to install software and apps.
My plan was to do a clean install of both using two partitions, the larger going to ML and smaller one for SL. I was going to install SL from the DVD and then after updating from 10.6. to 10.6.8 and download ML from the app store and install on the larger partition.
Do I install all the software I use like Final Cut, Aperture, iLife (for Garageband) etc on the ML or SL partition or on both. Also, is there a better way / practise of the order software updates / apps and boxed software should be installed when doing a clean machine install.
Thanks in advance.
MattThanks mende1
So, if I have software I need to use on both ML and SL - for example Final Cut as I have a Canopus AVDC box which is not supported in ML but only SL, do I need to install the same software in both OS?
I usually open apps using spotlight and didn't know if it would software / apps would open if already installed on the other partition?
Thanks again

iTunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes. Error 7 (Windows error 5). I have uninstalled in correct order and reinstalled but still getting same error message. Any help??
Take a look at iTunes for Windows: "Error 7" message when opening iTunes. Perhaps your .NET Framework needs a repair.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order. This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes. If I just hit play, this doesnt happen. As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order. Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it. When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example). But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason. Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening. Any thoughts?
The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks
if you review the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
also the thread at
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17513078#17513078
you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.

I carefully number my iPod bound photos so that they are in a desired order by filename. When I sync the photos to my iPod Classic they are not in the same order. A typical filename would be: 001 001 IMG-3489.jpg followed by 001 002 IMG-3478.jpg. Windows uses the first seven characters to order the files and does not care what follows the first seven so long as the first seven are not duplicated within the folder. My iPod ignores that convention. HELP! PLEASE! I want to view my slideshows in the correct order.
ThanksDoes both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
if it does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
Connect back to the Mac
When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
Sync your library.
Good Luck! -

Can anyone assist witth the following query
What determins order photos are transferred, my photos have been numbered and appear in the correct order on the laptop but transfer in a random order in some albums irrespective of title or date taken.
Can i alter any setting to ensure photos will transfer in a logical order to track the history of the events in any particular album folder.Thanks for this, I have checked the dates in case the camera settings had been lost unfortunatly in this instance all pics are dated in correct order but not transferred in date order, or date modified order, or is the date config based on US date atyle?

What is the correct order to shutdown and startup RAC system
anyone please take a look if my order of shutdown and restart is correct.
This is two node RAC,
1) srvctl stop database -d db_unique_name
2)srvctl stop nodeapps -n node1
3)srvctl stop nodeapps -n node2
4)srvctl stop asm -n rac1
5)srvctl stop asm -n rac2
6)srvctl stop listener -n rac1
7)srvctl stop listener -n rac2
8) crsctl stop cluster all
when I restart RAC, use
1)crsctl start cluster all
2)srvctl start listener -n rac1
3)srvctl start listener -n rac2
4)srvctl start asm -n rac1
5)srvctl start asm -n rac2
6)srvctl start nodeapps -n node1
7)srvctl start nodeapps -n node2
8)srvctl start database -d db_unique_nameHi,
1.) I would specify -o immediate. Otherwise your stop of the database can take quite a while.
2.) Actually nothing else (except the database) needs a clean shutdown. I would simply stop the cluster than with crsctl stop cluster all.
4.) Also note if you have Voting and OCR in ASM this step won't be successfull (since it can't stop ASM as long as the cluster is running).
8.) Note that crsctl stop cluster will leave the OHASD running (and also some other processes, check with crsctl stat res -t -init).
If you need to really stop everything you have to execute crsctl stop crs on each node (they are not clusterwide).
Startup:
CRSCTL start CLUSTER ALL should actually bring a lot of things up... but this depends also on what has been stopped (since this is recorded in the OCR).
But at least ASM and listener should startup automatically (even if they were stopped before).
So normally it is enough to start the database. But I would not start the database, I would startup the services (which the database services). Because this will bring up the database.
Otherwise you might end up with a running database, but with no active services.

I spent ages renaming and sorting my holiday photos in correct order but when uploaded to print they reverted to the original name and order? How can I stop this happening?
When you "rename" a photo in iPhoto you're adding a Title to the shot, not renaming the file. This si quite standard metadata in photography, but it appars that it's getting lost in the upload/at Snapfish process.
You can use the Titles as filenames if you export using the File -> Export command. It's one of the options in the export dialogue. You can upload the exported items.

I Cannot get my organizer to work for Elements 13. "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program......" is the error I get. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the program and tried various other things based on the MANY other complaints with this same issue and nothing is working. How can this problem be corrected?
Hi,
Which operating system are you running on?
Are you upgrading from a previous version of Photoshop elements or is this your first?
Are you trying to load the organizer or the editor or do both fail?

How do I get synced iTunes U episodes and other podcasts to play in "correct" order?
More than just a couple iTunes U classes and other podcasts I have downloaded somehow have incorrect clock or date issues that (so far) make it impossible to listen to them in the correct order on my ipod.
Is there a way within iTunes to correct the organization information for podcasts or lectures produced by other parties?If you keep them in the Podcasts section the order is determined by the feed, as is the data, and you can't alter them. If you drag them out to the Desktop you can rename them in a way which will get them to sort properly, and repimport them - though they will then turn up in the Music list and be treated as songs. They may well not carry any embedded data, so you may need to re-enter it manually.
