Replacement for classic on PPC Macs

Since classic is dead in 10.5 I was wondering if anyone knows of any other compatibility layer/virtualization/emulation software for running OS 9 programs? I don't really need an emulator since my laptop is a PPC machine.

Keep Tiger on a bootable clone or second internal drive.
My G5 has Tiger on one drive, Leopard on the other.
Your PPC can still boot into OSIX, right? You are just concerned with no support in a virtual environment.
Just save the Tiger on another drive.

  • Printer replacement for OS 8.6 Mac..Help needed

    Hi, I have a Beige G3 which I've kept as a stand-alone dedicated OS 8.6 system
    for the purpose of maintaining tons of stuff initially created in OS 8 over the
    years. I've run a workhorse HP Laserjet 4ML for print output on this since the
    early 90s and the printer died yesterday...
    I am in immediate need of a replacement..something that'll connect via the old
    appletalk/ADB... preferably an HP.. and able to run on 8.6 like the 4ML.
    I am really in a bind as this is still very much an active computer and we suddenly have no print capability on it. Any suggestions on a reasonable and available candidate to fill the bill or otherwise alternative ideas on workarounds? (The 4ML is definitely toast and likely not worth repair)
    Any advice hugely appreciated!
    Typically do modest amount of print volume on this machine...prefer laser,
    good 600 dpi output would be fine for some graphic layouts..and monochrome is
    also preferred.
    Thanks!

    The Ethernet port on your Mac is like a highway, in that lots of different kinds of traffic can use it to get where they are going essentially at the same time, without interfering with each other. There is no conflict with running your printer over Ethernet. The problem is that Ethernet is point-to-point, so you need a device that can repeat the traffic out onto additional ports (one of which will connect to your printer). The original device that did that function was called a Hub, but no one should pay money for a Hub today.
    The much superior method for connecting Ethernet segments to each other is a Switch. This device has enough intelligence to read the envelopes that messages are sent in, discard any bad ones, and send the rest in the direction where those recipients have answered before. It is sometimes called store-and-forward, but that is not a wonderfully descriptive term because the storage is only momentary.
    An even smarter device is a Router, possibly with Switch function built-in. A Router keeps local traffic local, and acts as your agent in forwarding packets to the Internet and receiving replies on your behalf. It intervenes in the packet addresses and keeps you local IP address secret from the rest of the Internet.
    Executive summary: Many different functions can share your Ethernet connection without interfering with each other.

  • Replacement for Classic Mail E Mail

    Just got a e mail from the boss to say that Classic Mail is closing on 3rd June.
    Clicked on the link to upgrade, & it says I will have to agree to new T&C's.
    But when I did this I was diverted direct into the new mail.
    Also when I logged out of this I selected my icon for e mail & went directly back into Classic Mail.
    Have BT messed up?
    I only ask because I don't want to have a major problem on 3rd June & have no e mail!
    Perhaps the Mods. Could look at & advise all

    I'll be interested to see if they get out of the contract. The changes would need to be seen as a material disadvantage which the clause that has been changed/ added does not appear to be. (seems to be about scanning for malware and spam). Also I think they would argue that the email is a free service. You pay for the Broadband. If you don't want to agree to the conditions you can opt out of having the email address without opting out of having broadband. That is in the above link about the upgrade.
    What will happen if I don't accept the terms of service?As this is the only version of BT Yahoo! Mail we will now be offering, you won't be able to access the service unless you accept our terms of service.

  • Using intel as target for install on PPC Mac

    Is it possible to put a Jaguar install disk on the intel mac's desktop and install the system on a old iMac with a bum CD ROM drive by using the intel Mac as a target?

    Nope. You cannot boot an Intel Mac with anything but an Intel version of OS X. You cannot connect to the Intel Mac's optical drive via Target Disk Mode. TDM will only connect to a hard drive.
    There may be another way, however, if you have an external FW drive. You could use Disk Utility to clone the Jaguar installer disc to an external FW drive. You could then boot the old iMac from the FW drive (assuming it has FW ports.)

  • Leopard replacement for Landau's Mac OS X Help Line book?

    Can anyone recommend a Leopard replacement for Ted Landau's Mac OS X Help Line? I have the 10.3 and 10.4 versions of this invaluable troubleshooting guide and wanted to recommend the 10.5 version to a friend with that OS, but I just found out that he decided not to update it for Leopard. Would really appreciate knowing about a similar comprehensive, literate, easy-to-understand troubleshooting manual for 10.5, if there is one as good as Landau's. Thanks for any good suggestions!

    I'm traveling and haven't had a chance to check it out yet. But I'll look at it as soon as I have a chance to get to a bookstore.
    I'm actually trying help out a friend who's just bought her first Mac in about 10 years, after years of working only with Windows--want to save her investing in a bunch of expensive manuals that tell you everything you need to know, occasionally in English, except how to find out what's wrong and fix it, which is the only thing I want to know! I've used Landau's guides for Panther and Tiger, and was dismayed to find out that he didn't feel like rewriting 1200 pages for Leopard. So I'm curious to see the book you recommend, which sounds good--will let you know.

  • Is it possible to start intel mac in target mode from ppc mac ?

    Hello all,
    Is it possible to start intel mac in target mode from ppc mac ? If so does using target mode make ANY change at all to the target disk if user doesn't voluntariliy write stuff to target disk ?
    Thanks in advance !

    Yes, you can, but with some notes. Braby sent some data, I add some other.
    Target Mode has two basic roles:
    1. to turn a mac into an external drive and/or external optical drive (if it has one, until Air era, all had); you may use this way if your internal optical drive is damaged and you wish to use the optical unit of the other mac; or use it as a simple external disk for backup purposes or else.
    2. to boot from a such-booted mac.
    #1 is usable with any two macs disregarding whether they are both PPC, both intel, or combination PPC-intel, as the behavior is like any external disk drive or external optical drive.
    #2 is impossible if you want to boot the other mac, they must be both intel or PPC, as you cannot use an intel-based mac as a boot mac for the other ppc-mac, and vice-versa.
    So said and clarified, you may use, but not if you intend to boot the other one if you wish to use it for various purposes implying boot.

  • Replacement needed for the Apple sabotaged Mac Time Machine

    At the time that the new Apple Time Capsule device came out, I think Apple released an "update" to Time Machine to make it fail. In the good old days, you could start a backup to a drive by connecting the WD drive to each Mac so that it could do the HUGE backup more quickly. THEN you would move the drive to the Apple Airport Extreme WiFi router where the tiny add-on backups would continue. It worked perfectly for 5 years for me.Then the new Time Capsule came out. Time Capsule is an Apple product that is an Airport Extreme with a 1 or 2 TB drive inside.Now, all of a sudden, the file types and names for locally made backups are DIFFERENT!When you back up all your Macs and take the WD drive to the Apple Airport Extreme (Wi Fi Router) it will not build upon the files it finds. Instead it starts OVER at WiFi speeds. Days go by. Still not done. More days. More. More. This is NONSENSE!On top of this horror, Time Machine now gives up on a WD disc when it's about 1/2 full saying, "The disc is OK, but it can't be used any more. Please provide a new disc unit." What an outrage! So I get a 100 TB drive only to have Time Machine give up on it when it reaches 500 GB of stored backup data?What I WISH WD would create is a replacement for Time Machine which is now so full of malicious code as to be nearly completely unusable. Any WD software that will handle multiple machines and does incremental backs up by itself, in the background, perhaps every hour would be fine.  I know you can do it WD! Please? Sherman Keene

    First off, you are in the completely wrong forum for a question like that. I don't even know how you ended up here.
    I haven't used Vista, or do I plan to, so I'm not sure if it does or not. Windows Server 2003 has a function called Previous Versions that is much like Time Machine (just without the fancy graphics). In W2k3 Server you can get to this by right-clicking a folder and selecting Previous Versions on the client side and Shadow Copies on the server side. This may or may not be in Vista, I'm not sure, but maybe it can get you somewhere.

  • I need to synch my iphone, ipod touch and classic to a Mac that I have and 2 I am about to buy. I have legally paid for all my music. If I use migration on my new Macs and clone the original, can I use my iAppliances on all 3 Macs?

    Yes.
    You can authorize up to 5 computers to play itunes music ( pre-itunes plus).  There is no limit on itunes plus ( all itunes music for the past several years) and imported music.
    You can sync as many ipods/ipads/iphones as you like to each of your computers.

  • Must I replace Thunderbird 3.1.20? I'm OK with TenFourFox 17.0.6 on my 933 MHz ppc Mac w. Tiger

    I continue to use Thunderbird 3.1.20 which had an end-of-life last 3/12/2012. Is TenFourBird a replacement to consider? I'll soon be looking for any reviews of TenFourBird with the correct version as a replacement of my Thunderbird 3.1.20. Are there other email clients for me to review? Of course I would want to keep  my existing email folders and contents.
    BTW, I've been happy with TenFourFox 17.0.6 as a replacement for Firefox 6.3.28 which had also reached its EOL. Thanks.
    Raymon

    Thunderbird 3.1.15 Is what I am running on iMac g3 600, tiger 10.4.11.
    My thoughts is if it works for me it is OK.  There is a small chance that you will miss some security update, bt you are running on a Mac anyway.  The mac is very secure to begin with.

  • Palm Desktop replacement for Mac and iPhone?

    Since Palm Desktop is no longer in active development, is there a Palm Desktop replacement for Mac and iPhone?
    http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/common/article/33219_en.html#mac
    I mean, a single application (not a bunch of them like Address Book, iCal etc) that works on Mac (desktop) and that can sync with the iPhone. Including all data from the current Palm Desktop:
    1. Address List
    2. To Do List
    3. Memo List
    4. Date Book
    Thanks.

    If only Apple did something like that (all-in-one-application personal organizer with contacts, memos, calendar, to do lists, etc)
    Well, they offer all those functions--Mail has Notes and To-dos show up in both Mail and iCal, plus Address Book. Clearly someone made the fundamental decision that separate integrated programs were better than an all-in-one, so I wouldn't expect an all-in-one from Apple in any foreseeable future. But you can send a feature request, if you like:
    http://apple.com/feedback
    What would be interesting---and may exist, I haven't looked---would be if a third-party used the open access to iCal/Address Book info to build an all-in-one that integrated with Apple's separate apps, which could provide seamless iPhone/OS X integration while still letting people have the unified interface. Postbox uses Address Book but I didn't see any calendar/notes features in my quick check. Lots of apps build better replacements for Apple's individual programs--BusyCal, I think a Mail replacement, etc---but nothing unified that I've heard of.
    However, my point was that you may be better off grabbing Entourage 2008 while it is still available than waiting for Outlook 2011, which is going to be a different program. Sometimes features go backwards, and Missing Sync compatibility may change or be delayed with Outlook 2011. I don't see the advantage of hanging onto PD until the very last minute.

  • What r all the boot loaders for ppc macs

    i need a boot loader for ppc macs something like this
    But thats my intel macbook
    if anyone has any idea plz reply
    thanks mike

    Hi, Klaus.
    Klaus's method:
    Selecting the boot partition can be postponed until the code common to all OSes is executed: firmware in chips, if, 'Alt' pressed, pause and display screen in NVRAM; then execute the first byte on the first boot partition pointed to by the partition table on the drive selected in NVRAM (changed by 'system preferences').
    Boot Loader:
    Firmware executed, then first byte on default boot drive. This has 'boot loader' with text menu offering OSes. Pause. Marks boot partition on selected drive, and sometimes copies first record of this boot partition over itself (the boot loader) and changes the CPU pointer back to first byte of new boot drive (chain loading). Very clean.
    Other methods 'shoot' to permanent boot loader (with spiffy graphic menu shown) and back. All that matters is that first byte on drive where OS should continue is eventually the first byte of the OS you want.
    Snow Leopard (HFS+) and GNU/Linux (ext3) make a qood pair. Both can read and write HFS+ natively. Still, if you kept eMac with Ubuntu and Firewire cable, drive damage on either could be fixed.

  • Possible to use iMac 27" as monitor for PPC Mac Mini (DVI)?

    This question appeared on the support community, about 4 years ago, but the adapter mentioned as a solution is now discontinued.
    DreadnoughtNov 14, 2010 12:27 PM
    I have an old PPC-based Mac Mini that I would like to connect to my new iMac 27", but my Mac Mini has DVI output and the iMac 27" has Mini DisplayPort input. Is this the only way to connect a PPC Mac Mini (or any DVI device) to the iMac 27"?
    http://www.atlona.com/Atlona-DVI-to-Mini-DisplayPort-Converter-p-17859.html
    I am in the same exact situation, and would appreciate any suggestions!
    Thanks!

    Sorry, no the MM is simply too old. Please read Apple's FAQ on Target Display Mode and you will see:

  • Replacement for ClarisDraw?

    Can anyone recommend a good replacement for ClarisDraw as a general drawing program? My PPC must run in Classic to use it, of course, and I would like eventually to minimize the number of apps that need to run under Classic. It still works fine, but the print function has quit (don't know why), so I have to save a document as a PICT file, then convert in GraphicConverter to JPEG in order to print. And then I have to keep the original ClarisDraw document if I want to edit it later.
    Is CorelDraw anywhere near as good a program as ClarisDraw? Any other candidates for Mac OS X 10.4.10?

    I think I've found it. After fooling around with the Demo version of EasyDraw, I just couldn't get comfortable with it. Today I tried the demo version of Intaglio and it just felt right. It's a whole lot more like ClarisDraw than EasyDraw was. http://www.purgatorydesign.com/Intaglio/
