Running 10.2.8 and Panther as two different startup disks?

I am working on a Gr currently running 10.2.8. I need to keep the option to use 10.2.8 because of the ProTool application I use for now.
I got the upgrade to Panther (got a new iPod that requires 10.3.9). But can I keep 10.2.8 as an option for my startup disk? In other words, can I have both 10.2 and 10.3 on my machine as startup disk options?
If this is possible, how do I install the Panther? I know there is an option to create a Previous System, but the program says I can't use a Previous System as a startup disk.
Please advise.
Thanks.
Amy

Amyt:
You will have to re-format your HDD to be able to re-partition your HDD. That means that your data will be completely destroyed in the process. Although there are utilities that promise to do dynamic partitioning, I have not used them myself, and the reports I have heard from others is not promising. You would be well advised to backup your computer before attempting such a step, anyway.
As Jeff suggested, you will need to back up your entire computer to an external Firewire HDD. SuperDuper makes the job of making a bootable of your entire HDD very easy. You can then clone it back to the designated partition when you are done.
Once you have your HDD cloned to an external Firewire HDD,
boot from the Panther install disk holding down the "C" key.
Go to the installer menu and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in left sidebar.
Select the Partition tab in main panel.
Create two partitions, and size them accordingly.
Type the name of the top partition in Name field
Select Volume Format as Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
Check box to install Mac OS 9 drivers.
Select second partion and follow procedure above.
Click partition button at the bottom.
Select First Aid tab.
Run Repair Disk.
Quit Disk Utility,
Open installer and install OS
(You may want to choose to customize and deselect Foreign Language Translations and Additional Printer Drivers. It is also advisable to select to install BSD subsystems).
Then you can clone your Jaguar partition back.
Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to post back.
Good luck.

Hi Jamesdwills,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
If you are using the same Apple ID on both devices, the Game Center profile should be the same.
Check out this information from the iPad User Guide. Try signing out of the Game Center on both devices and then sign back in with the correct Apple ID:

Sorry last question got knocked back my ipad and iPhone on two different levels and I am not able to play through Facebook so not able to progress or unlock next level through Apple store. Don't know how to resolve problem

Thank you again for all of your help!! I really appreciate it!
I think I am following -- I was able to upload to my iPhoto and all photos and videos are there that is a plus! I tried to create an Event in my iPhoto and put all of my photos in that event but for some reason, now my iTunes it not recognizing that Event in my iPhoto. It is not allowing me to import just that event at the moment but I may be doing something wrong. At least all of my pics and vids are in iPhoto so that is a plus and I know they are at least saved somewhere. Just for some reason, my iTunes it not locating the event that I created with only those photos.
Thank you for letting me know about my contacts! How do I know if I have the contacts app?
Also, I had no clue that my iCloud could be backed up via cellular data! However, is this a new feature with the most updated iOS?? Unforutnatly I am like 2 iOS updates behind because I don't have enough storage on my phone. I still get the notification that my phone needs to be plugged in and connected to wifi in order to back up to the cloud :-(
How can I sync using USB? Right now when i click on the info tab for my iPhone in my iTunes this is the answer that I get -- I am a little unclear as to what it means.
Sync Contacts:
Your contacts are being synced with you iPhone over the air from iCloud. Over-the-air sync settings can be changed on you iPhone
Sync Calendars:

OS X installers have always been fairly specific, hardware-wise. I haven't read anything reflecting that situation with the Recovery HD, so it may be that the Recovery HD created for the MacBook Pro does not have the necessary drivers for the Mac Pro. Obviously, nothing definitive here, but a possibility.

HT3680 My 3 year old iMac is freezing and I get a message "startup disk almost full for running applications. delete files..." Where do I find the startup disk and what should I delete?

My 3 year old Mac is having trouble and freezes up from time to time lately. I get a message saying "startup disk almost full, delete files ..." something about having enough room for applications to function. I know my startup disk is the Macintosh HD, but what kind of files do I need to delete and how much space do I need to free up? In my "about this mac" area, it says I have 4.89gb free out of 319.21 So I am confused why I need to do this.

You're less than 2% free and should always have at least 15% (my SWAG). Best is to get an ext FWHD and move stuff from the startup disk to it and delete it from that. Best things to move are movies, music, and photos, using the apps that manage those things.

In R12 can i login and work on two different languages

Hi,
I have a requirement that one my end user wants to login to applications using base language and also in installed language at the same time. but the problem is after logging in for the installed language the first login is which was in english is also changing back to installed language.
I have one thought of using two different browsers, but can i do it using a single browser.
Thanks,
Taher

Hi hussein,
The problem is not in opening multiple form sessions. But the main problem is as soon i login from another internet explorer session with another language. The first login page also changes back to last login language.
Steps.
1. Login to Applications in english: [Forms are not used yet]
2. Open another windows explorer session. Change language to ARABIC and login. Successful [Forms are not used yet]
3. Refresh the login done of step1. Now step1 login page also changes back to ARABIC.
One thing just now i tried is to open one session using IE, and another one using FireFox. This seems to be working fine.
Thanks,
Taher

My wife and I have two different accounts with apple, and want to share a database.

Let me start by saying that we both just moved from under a rock and started using Apple and Itunes.
I have a 4S she has a 4. We both created an account before using Itunes. I set up itunes on our home pc (XP) without thinking about her wanting/needing to share the pc for syncing and loading music to our phones. I dont want to plug her in until I am sure we wont mess anything up.
Is there a way we can use one pc and two different devices with two different accounts without a divorce. The majority of cds were hers, so i'm already on her bad list
Please help

Can we share apps and songs with two different apple IDs but the same computer?

we both got an iPod Touch for Christmas and we have two seperate Apple IDs and I cant figure out if the music she has purchased and the music i have purchased can be combined. We are using the same computer (windows 7) and same user acct. We also have itunes gift cards and before we start buying stuff i want to know how this all works. Thanks in advance and I must admit i am new to apple and not the greatest at it.

I've tried everything..unplugging and re-setting the Apple TV, restoring to factory settings and starting over...nothing seems to work. I'm not sure why the software upgrade would have affected it, but that's what triggered this problem. It doesn't seem right that if it's accessible on my computer and it's all music purchased by me, that it's not all accessible on my Apple TV!

Drag and drop between two different browser

Hi All,
Is drag and drop in flex possible behind boundaries of
browser context?.
Currently i have a vdividebox which contains two datagrid
with drag and drop functionality.
Now I want to display this datagrid in two different browsers
and provide the drag and drop functionality between them.
Is their any way to achieve this?
Thanks.

Hey
due to Security restrictions (Sandbox) I don't believe that
you can Drag and Drop between two Browsers with Flex, maybe this
can be done with AIR.

Autodiscovery and coexistence of two different exchange server

Hi all,
I'm trying to understand how autodiscovery works during coexistence of two different exchange server.
We have one AD server and two different Exchange server and two users (A and B).
The mailbox of user A is in Exchange server ONE
The mailbox of user B is in Exchange server TWO
They are creating for the first time their profile in outlook. How autodiscover works in this scenario?
Maybe the information are too few but I want to understand if in a scenario like this, Autodiscover can work with appropriate configuration or there is now way to use autodiscovery.
Thank you
Best Regards
Riccardo

Hi
Riccardo,
You dont need to worry about autodiscover if both are in the same forest.
You just point your autodiscover to one of the server. It will proxy to the right server.
For example if your autodiscover pointed to ServerONE and when a request comes from UserB, ServerONE will
proxy the request to ServerTWO.
Normally all point autodiscover to the internet facing server.
Thanks, MAS

How to deploy two different startups on cRIO

Hello,
I never needed to do it, but now I have to.
I need to have two versions of startup applications on my cRIO 9075. How can I do it. I tried to create two folders with different versions of applications and simply change the folder name of the application I want to run. Should it run?
Thank you,
Przemek

Hi Przemek,
I am not sure what the main goal of your application is, and what is your need for two startup applications, so I will make an asumption that you would like to use the cRIO with two different "personalities" for different use cases (if I am mistaken, please indicate that it is so).
In that case probably an online code change design might be just the right fthing for your application. This would encorporate creating a "framework" application, that would be calling the application instance that you would like to use currently.
Best regards,
Jano

Which disk did Time machine backup if running Mac OSX 10.6.8 on an external startup disk?

The original hard drive on my 2007 iMac was pretty full, so I was using an external hard drive as the startup disk while I got around to replacing the original hard drive. I could still see the original hard drive and its contents and it still had a bootable copy of OSX 10.6.8 on it, but I was starting up from the external drive running OSX 10.6.8. I recently attached another external drive and backed up with Time Machine. Now the original internal hard drive has crashed. I can no longer see it to even try to repair it. My question is, was that internal hard drive backed up with the Time Machine backup, or was only the external startup disk backed up? If the internal one was backed up, how can I retore it's contents to another drive? - Thanks

Sorry to hear.

Brand new to the Mac World and NEED SOME HELP with startup disk issues

Hello everyone. I am a new Mac user and I purchased my mac on ebay. It's an iMac that came with tiger 10.4.11. I wanted to get a fresh start on the computer, since the person who had it before me did not erase all of his stuff. I didn't know what to do so I got a startup disk/install disk off ebay also. When I go to install it says "software cannot be installed on this computer." Before I bought the software, I had called the apple store and they said it should be fine to buy any install software to put on the computer. If I could get any help it would be appreciated. I had read previous threads that I should hold down c when I start up (didn't work) or that I should select archive or erase and install (I never got these options when I went to install).

A warm welcome to the Discussions!
What iMac is it? I only ask as the Retail Tiger CD/DVDs don't work on IntelMacs, only PPC, (G3, G4, G5 Macs).
Sorry what you were told by the Apple Store, but if it's a Gray CD/DVD then it is Machine specific as Neil stated.
Sooo, what exact iMac is it, and what does it say on the CD/DVD?
