Removing Classic from OS X Tiger

Hello,
I hope this is in the right section. I want to remove classic from my Mac to free up space. I don't use any programs that open in classic.
How should I go about this? Can I just delete the folder called OS 9 apps and the folder called os 9 system in my HD? Or will this have any unwanted repercussions?
Also a folder appeared awhile ago in my hard drive called damaged files. If I delete these will there be any damage done?
Thanks,
Mitch

Those 3 should be fine, just drag them to the Trash, reboot, and when your satisfied everything still works, then Empty the Trash.
I'd actually open the Damaged one and see if there might be something essential that you need to replace first.
PS. On my maxed out OS9/Classic deleting those 2 folders would save less than 2 GB. Which is a drop in the bucket in OSX terms... if you're that short on space that 2 GB makes a difference, I'd think about getting an External HD to offload a few bigger things to,

  • Removing Classic from Leopard

    I just got Leopard for christmas and today I just realized that classic is no longer supported. I had it installed with Tiger and I would like to know a safe way on how to remove it, along with apps for OS9, from Leopard without messing anything up.

    I removed the Applications (OS 9) folder the way you said and it worked out fine. My only thing now is with the System Folder, I was going to delete that but it looked as there were files that Leopard currently used. Yes I did double check to make sure I was looking at *System Folder* and not System. I would just like to be 100% sure on this before I delete *System Folder*. Thanks

  • How to remove Classic from a system where it is installed?

    To trash Classic:
    1. Backup your data in case you make a mistake.
    2. Make sure no Application in Applications Mac OS 9 folder lists itself in Get Info as an Application (as opposed to Classic Application). Any that are just plain Applications are designed to run natively in both Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X and can be moved to the Applications folder, assuming they didn't install special components that required them to stay in the Applications Mac OS 9 folder to work.
    3. Drag both the Applications Mac OS 9 and the System Folder (containing the Control Panels and Apple Menu Items folder) into the trash. Do NOT trash the folder named System which belongs to Mac OS X.
    4. Secure Empty Trash from the Finder File menu. If that takes too long, you can use http://www.macosxcocktail.com/ 's software Cocktail. This software is kind of a swiss army knife, and should only be used for specific functions when needed. Ask before using a utility within it, if you are unsure how it might affect your system.
    5. Verify all the applications you use work.

    This would be contradictory to dataflow.
    If you need loop data elsewhere in the code while the loop is running, you have many possible solutions (queues, functional globals, locals variables, etc.). Please explain in a bit more details what you want to do. Do you have processes running in parallel? Where should the loop data "flow" exactly?

  • Have you removed iPod Classic from your product line?

    Have you removed iPod Classic from your product line?

    No, I haven't.
    More seriously though; you're not talking to Apple here, we're fellow users like you. But a quick check of the UK store site does not have the iPod Classic listed, which suggests that Apple have discontinued it.
    If that's so, there's probably nothing anyone here can do about it. On the other hand, since all the store's pages appear to be incomplete (if you can get them to load), perhaps you should check again tomorrow to see if any further site updates give you new information.

  • How can I remove Genius from my ipod playlists menu?

    After my 120GB Classic iPod died, I purchased a new 160GB Classic last week. Now I can't seem to get rid of the Genius playlist which appears at the top of my normal playlists on my new iPod. I don't use Genius and have it disabled in iTunes (via iTunes > Prefs > General > uncheck Genius AND Store > Turn off Genius). I don't understand why it appears in my new iPod. It never did on my old one. It is a bit of an annoyance because I used to click right through to my first playlist to play the music I like, and now I have to scroll 1 down, which is not always easy for me because I have a small handicap.
    old situation:
    click music > click playlists > click play = first playlist starts playing
    new situation
    click music > click playlists > Scroll 1 down (which is a hassle) > click play = first playlist starts playing
    I hope there is a way to remove Genius from my playlists in my iPod but I can't see how. If it is not possible it seems to me that this is an issue that needs to be fixed. Maybe a software update can give a solution.
    Apple, please consider this.
    Thanks,
    Martin

    The Genius Playlist lets you select a specific song to be used as the basis for selecting "similar" songs that are supposed to play well together.
    If you don't want to use the feature, don't use it. Anything as complicated as an iPod is bound to have at least one feature you don't need or doesn't work the way you would want it to. Personally I'd fix grouping on Album Artist or the behavior of iTunes U before worrying about an item I don't need in the menus.

    I know darn well what Genius Mixes are, and I've chosen to turn them off because I don't like the concept or in this specific case the execution.  There are plenty of other features in the iPod I don't use, but none of them get in the way.
    Personally, this is my 9th or 10th iPod purchase, going all the way back to a gen2 (before the iTunes store when I had to rip my 1,000 CDs to have any music in iTunes) that saw three battery replacements (yes, I've been inside the case).  Five of the iPods before this one are still working.   I know how to use iTunes and the iPods.
    The issue here is simply that the setting to turn off Genius Mixes does not turn off Genius.   It still appears in the Playlist queue -- and most annoyingly in the first Playlist slot.  Genius is turned off on all my iTunes instances, and all my iPods.
    When you turn off a feature, the feature should be turned off.   If that isn't the result, that is a bug.  Quite simple.

  • Add or remove applications from Startup in LION

    We just did a migration from Tiger to Lion for our primary Mac user and now, on her new machine running Lion, Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Entourage launch every time she starts up her PC.  Microsoft Excel was not even in her Startup on her old system. 
    I followed the instructions provided in this link:  http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#appstartup for adding and removing applications from a user's Startup in Lion.  For this user, there are no Microsoft 2008 applications listed.  She is the only user on the computer - there is a guest account that is shown but cannot be accessed or modified from the Users and Groups folder in System Preferences. 
    So, my question is:  Is there another way to see what would be the equivalent of the "Startup" folder in Windows on an iMac running Lion?  Or am I missing something?  How did Excel get into Startup?  How do I get it out?
    Marty

    As it turned out,  I noticed that when you shut down or restart the computer, a question box comes up asking "Are you sure you want to restart/shutdown your computer now?"  There is a check box next to the option "Reopen windows when logging back in", which is checked by default.  I discovered that if you uncheck that box just one time, it will not attempt to open any applications that were open during any previous shutdown. It appears to sort of 'wipe the slate clean'.  That is how I got it to stop launching Microsoft 2008 applications on every startup even when they were not in the user's Login Items.  And they were not set for Open At Login. 
    This one led me a merry chase!  Thanks to all who responded.

  • Need help REMOVING ALARM FROM ipod.

    I use my 3G ipod in my car with an alpine stereo that supports ipods. Every now and then the alarm sets its self and will go off in the middle of the night completely draining my battery by the next morning.
    Is there any way I could remove or delete the alarm function from my ipods software?

    When you say you want to "remove" pictures from the iPod, do you mean you want to transfer those pictures from your iPod to your new computer? If so, do not erase and sync your iPod as you will lose all those pictures from your iPod for ever.
    If you copied photos to your iPod using the full resolution option, enable disk use, open your iPod in "my computer", open the photos folder then open the "full resolution" folder and drag the photos out of that folder to your desktop. For enabling disk use look here.
    Disk Use.
    If you only copied the photos as thumbnails, you can't do this so you'll need a program such as this one.
    iPod Photo Copy. (Windows only)
    iPod Photo Liberator. (both Mac and Windows versions available)
    Photos as thumbnails won't be of the original quality when copied back to your computer.
    And btw, this is a "connecting iPod classic to a Mac" forum!

  • Mac Mail won't remove copy from server

    My mail remains in the ISP's Inbox despite the proper setting in my Mac Mail program to remove copy from server immediately after downloading. Even after I close my mail program, the old mail will not be deleted. I must go to my Inbox via the Net and delete the mail with a global tag/delete.
    This problem began 5 to 7 months ago. Before that the auto deletion worked fine, and it worked fine in older versions of OS X. Is this an ISP compatibility? A bug in the current Mac Mail release? A bug in Tiger?
    I asked my ISP and his first reply said this is one of many bugs in Mac Mail and I should switch to Thunderbird. I'll look at that but I prefer to use Apple software.
    After 4 years I know how seldom Apple debugs Mail and Safari. Does anyone know if an update of Mail is on Apple's schedule?

    Try changing the setting to After one day or When moved
    from Inbox (and leave it at that), to see whether it’s just the Right > away setting that doesn’t work or that Mail fails to remove messages > from that server no matter what the settings.
    I'll do that.
    BTW, have you actually tried using another mail
    client such as Thunderbird
    to check whether the same happens there as well?
    My ISP, who hosts a university and has a higher percentage of Mac users than most, recommended Thunderbird so I presume it does well here at Ntelos.net

  • Why upgrade from Panther to Tiger on G4 iMac?

    I have two iMacs. I use a G5 recently upgraded from Panther to Leopard 10.5.5. My wife has a G4 with Panther 10.3.9.
    Now that I have Leopard I have a Tiger install license available.
    Are there good reasons to upgrade my wife's G4 to Tiger?
    She uses it heavily for e-mail, internet, and MS Word.
    She's networked to my G5 through Airport and we use printer sharing and file sharing.
    Her G4 works great, but I'm wondering about security issues.
    Comments?
    -Bob

    Correct me if I'm wrong but I think Apple is still releasing Security updates for Panther too, isn't it?
    I think some of the Panther software is starting to show its age limitations for Internet capabilities, and things like iTunes for all the new iPods, etc. On one hand if you're not actually having problems then my feeling is an old computer best runs software designed for it. On the other hand I am not sure you would lose any functionality if you did upgrade. I think most Panther applications run on Tiger, the system requirements are pretty similar. It's not like when you upgrade to Leopard that you suddenly lose Classic support and it requires (demands?) a faster processor. From my personal perspective upgrading to Leopard really makes a big difference in capabilities both ways and may even be a negative upgrade if you run old software the way I do. Upgrading from Panther to Tiger didn't have any downsides and had several upsides in terms of software is still being brought out for Tiger.

  • From Jaguar to Tiger?

    Hi, I have a 17in imac G4 with the following specs currently running on os10.2.8
    Build 6R73
    800 MHz processor Power PC
    I've just been given the Tiger DVD upgrade to upgrade my ibook which was running on Panther, but I was wondering whether it would be possible to upgrade my imac straight from Jaguar up to Tiger.

    Hi, I've been searching for confirmation that I can upgrade from Jaguar to Tiger, and it looks like this is the place to go...
    I am currently running Jaguar 10.2.8 on my 15" flat screen iMac G4 (see specs): (http://download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Manuals/specs/imac/L17637CEN.pdf)
    I love this Mac, and it still feels and acts brand spanking new, but I need to upgrade. (upgrade = $400 vs. new iMac = $1600.)
    Questions:
    1)Can I upgrade from Jaguar 10.2.8 to Tiger 10.4; and from iLife 3 to iLife 06; and add an external dvd drive (such as Lightscribe -my built in Pioneer 2x burner is not changeable) without much trouble?
    2)Can I delete my OS9 operating system? I have plenty of hard drive space, plus an external Lacie HD, but would like to delete the 0S9 Classic files since I never use them.. is that possible? Safe? What's the best way to do it?
    (I purchased my iMac from Apple with 512MB ram installed so I can eventually upgrade to full gig - I will do this as soon as I know if the upgrade is possible.)

  • HT4889 Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it show up in the new Mac's computer folder. Help

    Trying to migrate from Mac-mini Tiger to Mac-mini Lion and Migration Assistant cannot find my Firewire, 400 to 800, "T" disk although it shows up in the new Mac's computer folder. It seems that Mac-mini Tiger is as it should be and the firewire cable is OK.  Something about the Migration Assistant is being missed, but I have no idea what it is.
    Help

    Addendum: I read on a post here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=420169) about removing some kext files in order to trick OSX into thinking that there were no FireWire ports.
    I followed the instructions and removed from /System/Library/Extensions/ the following files:
    IOFireWireSerialBusProtocolTransport.kext
    IOFireWireAVC.kext
    IOFireWireFamily.kext
    IOFireWireIP.kext
    IOFireWireSBP2.kext
    I restarted and BAM...Snow Leopard booted crazy fast and the mouse and keyboard worked instantly.
    The System Profiler says "No FireWire ports were found."
    So this tells me that the FW port is probably the culprit and is messing up the installation.
    So how do I hack the Mountain Lion installer and tell it to ignore the FW port, which is obviously quite dead? Or is there something I can do to the Base system that is similar?

  • Removing Computers From Shared List?

    Here is the problem. In our work area we have three OS X 10.4 clients running as servers for projects, these computers have file sharing turned on. We just replaced many of our older G4 towers running Tiger with new Intel iMacs running Leopard. I only want to allow the remaining G4's to access the shared computers and remove them from showing up on the new iMacs in the Shared list within finder. Should I use ACLs for this, if so does anyone have an example, and if not then what is the solution? I can't believe Apple didn't think how annoying it is to have unwanted computers showing up in your finder, as it is we have dozens already listed.
    I do have access to all of the computer's IP addresses and MAC addresses if I can use those in an UNIX solution for ALLOW or DENY.

    You could disable Bonjour on the file sharing computers. That will stop them from advertising their file sharing services, and thus they won't show up in the Finder sidebar of the Leopard iMacs.
    You will still be able to access the file sharing services by direct connections through the "go" menu on any Mac. You will also need to manually configure any network printing associated with those Macs.
    To disable Bonjour, open Terminal and enter (on one line):
    $ sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
    To re-enable Bonjour:
    $ sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist

  • Remove album from Web Gallery (not in Iphoto)

    I have a album in my Web Gallery but it's not in my IPhoto. I am trying to remove it from Web Gallery but can not figure out how?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Go into iPhoto's Preferences/Web Gallery. If the gallery is listed then select it and hit the Stop Publishing button.
    If the gallery is not listed then mount your iDisk and go to the iDisk/Sites/Web/_gallery folder. If you have more than one gallery you'll have to look inside each of the gallery folders (they are just numbered and hard identify which is which) to determine which is the gallery you want to delete. When you find it drag it to the trash.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
