Running OS X9 in Classic Environment DST

I have a PowerMAC G5 that is running OSX 10.4.9 and I run Outlook X in classic Environment and everytime I look at my calendar in Outlook the time is off by one hour because of DST. I do not have the option to change the time in OS 9 so wondering if there is a fix for this. The time is set correct in OS X 10.4.9 but not in the classic Environment. Any ideas on how to change the time in OS 9?

Hi, aramos -
Although a patch has been released for OSX for the change in DST dates, there has been none released for OS 9; and probably will be none, unless some non-Apple programmer decides to do it.
While in Classic, have you tried opening the Date & Time control panel? There is a setting for DST in that - take it off the automatic setting, and then checkmark the "Daylight-Savings Time is in effect" option.
If that has been done, and the displayed times are still an hour off, then compare the settings for Time Zone in both OSX and in Classic - both need to be the same, else the displayed time will be off. That setting is also made in Date & Time.

  • Systeme 9 and Classic environnement on Macbook with Intel

    Is somebody can tell me if I can run something from the classic environnement with my new Macbook with Intel proc. I read that it's impossible. Can I do something? I need a to run some things from OS9 and classic Thanks

  • Is it possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta on a MacBook Pro (Early 2008) with Leopard?

    Hi there,
    Rosetta works up until Snow Leopard. The Classic Environment works up until a late version of Tiger. Rosetta makes apps. built for PowerPC Macs work. The Classic Environment make apps. for Mac OS 9 work on Mac OS X for PowerPC Macs.
    Would it consequently be possible to run the Classic Environment INSIDE Rosetta?
    I have read https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2292, but I am still unconvinced unless there is a flaw to my logic. At any rate, I subscribe to the Churchillian adage of never giving in unless the forces of common sense and doctrine dictate otherwise.
    If it won't work, then why?
    Best Regards,

    Hi there, Klaus1, BDAqua and a brody,
    Thank you ever so much for your kind replies! (I tried giving you the 10 pts. of 'Correct Answers' to each of you, but unfortunately it was only possible for Klaus1, so the points were distributed between him and BDAqua even though you were all helpful!)
    My next question will naturally be: Is SheepShaver legal? My Google search didn't yield any conslusive proof that it was, nor any that it wasn't, but as the E-Maculation web page seemed quite official and above board I would assume that it is.
    The next logical step would be to ask whether it's safe for both HW and SW to run SheepShaver. HW, it appears, is very rarely, if ever, affected by SW settings, so I would assume that hardwarewise, I'm good to go. Could it ruin the kernel of Mac OS X's Unix-based operating system?
    Kind Regards,
    Stefan

  • I am not able to install my 'Complete National Geographic' cd on my Mac mini which runs Lion OS. The error message I get says  'Can't open installer as classic environment is no longer supported' can some one suggest a solution

    I am not able to install my 'Complete National Geographic' cd on my Mac mini which runs Lion OS. The error message I get says  'Can't open installer as classic environment is no longer supported' can some one suggest a solution.

    It means the software is PowerPC code, which is no longer supported in Lion. Your choices are to go back to Snow Leopard, run Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine within Lion, see if the vendor has an updated version of National Geographic that will run on an Intel Mac, or run the software on an older Mac separately.

  • Running classic environment

    Sorry I posted this incorrectly on the bottom of someone else's thread.
    I have been given a Powerbook G4 running OX 10.4 I have no discs with it. I would like to be able to run some of my son's games which require classic. Classic was never set up on the computer so I need a classic system folder. I bought OS 9 from ebay thinking that this would solve my problems. I am unable to boot from this cd and can't load it as it requires classic to do that. So I'm back to square one - does anyone know what my options are?
    Thanks

    The processor is a 1.5GHz Power PC G4 with memory 512.
    I use our desktop (which is a PC) and I was over my son playing his games on it (as they always seem to stuff it up). This Mac was given to us by my brother inlaw as he didn't want it anymore (he's a researcher and has upgraded a while ago). He thought it would be good for the kids to watch movies on and play a few games (they are only 3 & 5)as they are fairly indestructable and I have to admit it is nice to use.
    The problem is that I sort of feel like a Beta video owner from the 90's with only one row of movies to pick from - some of the games I already had are good for Mac too but require the classic environment. I have ordered a few others that are OS X specific but generally it seems to be only the more expensive ones and a limited selection - I'm new to Mac so I could be wrong.
    So back to my problem, I did buy a OS 9 install disc off ebay but it won't boot etc so it is no use to me. If someone could tell me what would work I'd happily look for it but I already paid $50 for the OS 9 with not much luck.

  • Is there any way to run classic environment programs?

    I downloaded my favorite shareware game from when i was a kid but cannot play it because its a classic environment game. Is there anything I can do to run this? Its a really simple little game.

    What OS did it use? You can get OS9 and earlier generation Macs for $40 or less which is probably less than what buying a used OS would cost you. An early imac would happily run OS8.5-OS9 and not take up too much room. You could probably find a Classic II for anything OS6-OS8.1 which again would not take much space.
    Also have a look for re-releases. Although it is rare it does happen. I was suprised to see that the original Solarian II had been faithfully re-written for OSX an even has all the old appearance from when it was released in the early nineties (or was it late eighties). Now that was a real classic and it's great it was preserved like that.

  • Running Classic Environment on new MacBook Pro

    I need to use an old software program. It requires that I use the classic environment. Is there any way that I can run the classic environment on my new MacBook Pro running Snow Leapoard?

    Hi, turtlepower -
    Does this also apply to the new imac version 10.6.2.
    Yes.
    Classic is not supported by OSX 10.5 (Leopard) and later versions; and is not supported on any Intel-processor Mac.
    Is there anything out there that will work?
    The only way to use OS 9 on Intel machines or machines running OSX 10.5 and later is to use an emulator such as mohaas05 has suggested.
    Whether running OS 9 in emulation will meet your needs is a different thing - some functions or programs will not work well, or at all. For example, programs that require direct access to the machine's hardware (such as many games do) will not do well in OS 9 in emulation.
    Given that used machines capable of booting to OS 9 are quite inexpensive these days, getting one of them is often the best solution.

  • Classic environment is no longer supported.

    I am a pc user switching...
    I have some old DVDs, vol 1 an vol II. Vol II is the newest, and have the "built for OS X" logo on it, but both are old. They install fine under windows XP.
    The MAC installation is to drap a folder, open the folder, and start the program (no installer dmg like I have seen elsewhere). However, you then get the error message:
    you can't open the application "Hemera Photo-Objects" because the Classic environment is no longer supported.
    I have boot camp/parrallels, so I realize I could access them that way, but they work so poorly it would be a pain.
    I have no idea what the error message means, is there a way around it? The mfg no longer support mac that I can see.
    Bob

    As Baltwo already mentioned, Classic is the name for Mac OS 9 running under Mac OS X in emulation. Apps for Mac OS 9 are different than Mac OS X apps. In the early days of Mac OS X, most people still used a lot of Mac OS 9 apps, so there was an emulator built-in (called, you guessed it, "Classic").
    As Mac hardware has moved to the Intel chips (Mac OS 9 ran on PowerPC chips), it has become more and more difficult to support Classic, and less and less useful, since most people don't use Mac OS 9 apps anymore. So, recent hardware doesn't support Classic, and Leopard dropped all support for Classic.
    There are third-party solutions, though they're not going to be easy to use, primarily due to the need to find an old Mac ROM image. I have been unsuccessful at finding one to download... old links are gone now. If this software is something you really need, it might be easier to visit eBay and buy a cheap older Mac.

  • How do I install 9.1 for Classic Environment?

    Hi, this question might sound dumb because I'm not familiar with OS X.
    I have a 800 Mhz G4 Quicksilver running 10.1.3. What I want to do is install 9.1 onto the Mac so I can have the whole classic environment shebang.
    I was told that you can partition the hard drive, but The Disk Utility says it can't partition a disk with the running system on it. <---my hard drive. I've tried holding down c at startup, that doesn't work, I selected the 9.1 disk as the start up disk, that resulted in the beloved blinking question mark over the system folder on startup. I have a good feeling it's a pretty simple process, I just have no idea how to go about it.
    Peace and Love and Happy New Year,
    Northside.<br>
    Quicksilver G4   Mac OS X (10.1.x)  

    If you partition the hard drive you are then reformating it and will have to re-install OSX and all your files. Just insert a retail version of 9.1 and install from there. You can then update incrementally to 9.2.2.

  • How do I install the classic environment?

    I have an iMac slot loader that I got for my daughter. I have a retail version of OSX 10.2 installed on it and working fine.
    I also have alot of games but they require the Classic Environment.
    I have forgotten how to install the Classic environment! I think at one time, I had osX on there and Classic but I don't remember exactly how I got it on there if that was the case.
    I have a retail OS 9.?.? but I don't think that is the answer. I am afraid if I boot to that disc and try to install, it will over write my OSX instalation with OS 9. That would prevent her from using the OSX games that I have for her.
    I don't mind doing a complete new installation if need be because I have not started installing the games just yet.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hey Glen,
    I set these iMacs up all the time. I use a retail 10.3.2 or 10.4.3 installer and a 9.2.2 image or a 9.2.1 iMac dedicated installer to set them up. Archive and install will work for either just make sure to install OS 9 drivers if you format your drive in X extended (journaled).
    I do the minimum install in X no language and no printer drivers.
    The installer in 9.2.1 is white with a large orange 9 on it.
    I have a ton of software for OS 9; Living Books, Kid Pix and Zoombinis being amoung the most popular.
    I've made images of the CDs ( actually SMIs ) so the kids don't need the CDs to run the apps. These often get totally messed up.
    Actually I have cloners of all these setups on various setups on my MDD G4 and use CCC to clone them onto the target drives. Often I'll have to use an install CD to get it to work anyway. Some of the more stubborn will require an in situ install with the CD.

  • How to force Tiger to print doc within Classic environment, not with OSX?

    I want to print certain documents using OS9's printing utility within the Classic environment, and NOT using Tiger's standard OSX printing method. How?
    I know it is possible because I have two Macs connected to the same printer, and it works on one and not the other. I can't figure out why.
    Here are the specifics:
    I have a printer, the Ricoh Laser AP2600. Connected to it are two computers:
    a PowerBook G4 running 10.4.7, and
    an iMac running 10.3.9.
    When I print documents from OSX applications, the two computers take the exact same time to print. HOWEVER, when I print from Classic applications, the iMac running 10.3.9 prints very quickly, but the PB running 10.4.7 takes two to three times as long. That's because the iMac prints the document using the old OS9 "Print Monitor" printing utility, and never passes the printing back to Tiger. Whenever I try to print a document from a Classic application on the PB, however, it passes the printing to the standard OSX printing method, which (for some reason) is much slower.
    (Sorry if I'm not using the right terminology.)
    I checked and double-checked, and as far as I can tell, all the "printer descriptions" and "drivers" and everything else is absolutely identical in both System 9 "Extension" folders on both computers. I installed the exact same Ricoh print-driver packages for OSX and Classic on both machines identically. So -- why does one print quickly within Classic, and the other pass the printing job back to slow OSX?
    The specific application that causes this discrepancy is MSWord 5.1a, a very old version that only works under Classic. (I use it a lot because I prefer it to more recent versions of MSWord.)
    A secondary, but related, question: Why does printing documents from within the Classic environment go so much more quickly than in OSX? It seems to be one of the few aspects of OSX that's worse than OS9.
    So -- how can I make my PB behave like my iMac? Is there some difference between 10.3.9 and 10.4.7 that causes this different behavior? Any hints or suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Thanks.

    OK, I have finally solved the problem -- mostly.
    The trick was to click on the Chooser option called "PSPrinter" -- not LaserWriter 8 or any of the others. I took a chance on that since I knew that the Ricoh 2600 was a PostScript printer. When I clicked on it, and chose "Set up printer," I was able to set up the Ricoh driver. Then, when I tried printing, it worked -- it printed within the Classic environment, not in Tiger. And what a difference!! Under Tiger, a simple page of text takes 45 seconds to process and print. Under Classic, the exact same page processes and prints in 8 seconds! A huge difference. So, I finally got it to work.
    The downside is that I can't get it to "stick." If I restart Classic (or the entire computer), the next time I go back to print in MSWord 5.1a (my Classic application), it will have reverted back to the Tiger method of printing. So, the first time I print a page in 5.1a during any session, I have to go to Chooser and select PSPrinter. This adds 15 seconds or so to the process, so printing a single page overall isn't any faster, if you add up all the steps. Subsequent prints all are done quickly in Classic automatically, as long as Classic hasn't restarted. (I can even quit the application and restart it without a problem -- only an OS restart causes it to revert back to Tiger printing.)
    So, my basic problem is solved, and I'm fairly satisfied. But I still have two nagging issues that I wouldn't mind answered if anybody knows the answers:
    How can I make my Chooser printer selection in Classic "stick" permanently from one restart to the next? Why does it revert to Tiger printing after a restart?
    And the fundamental question: why is Classic printing so much faster than Tiger printing? I thought Tiger was supposed to be a "digital hub" that made communicating with peripherals so easy? In most ways it is, but why is printing the one way in which OSX is WORSE than OS9, at least in regards to speed?

  • I tried to save a video to IPhoto, and then when I tried to open IPhoto it told me I can't open the application because classic environment is no longer supported.  What does this mean, and how do I get back all my photos and fix this? thanks.

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know some details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is you library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • Classic Environment documents and Leopard

    I am running Tiger on a non-dual-core iMac G5. I have about 300 documents that I created in Classic Environment. I am told that Leopard does not support Classic. I would like to upgrade to
    Leopard. (Also, some day I will replace this Mac with a dual core Mac; I am told
    dual core does not support Classic.) So how can I upgrade to Tiger now (and later, to dual core) and still use these documents? Details: I originally created these in an old G4, using an old, wonderful Apple word processing program called Greatworks. I migrated them over to my G5. I have opened a handful of them in the G5; they opened in TextEdit. Then, I copied them from TextEdit to Appleworks. So that gave me an Appleworks document. So does that mean that the documents are no longer Classic?...are they now cool and modern, and Tiger will open them, even though they were ONCE Classic? And a dual core mac will open them some day? Also...as I said, I only converted a handful from Classic to Appleworks. The rest of the 300 are still Classic. So I guess BEFORE I upgrade to Tiger, I must convert the rest of them to Appleworks, one at a time? Please help. Thank you.
    Robert

    Documents are neither "Classic" or "OSX". Documents are files.
    The application that you use to create, edit, print, and save are either "Classic" or "OSX".
    So your files, even if created in OS8, could be moved to 10.5.2 and opened w/o any girations on your part to make it work. BUT the application that created it in OS8, or OS9 would have to have been updated to work as an OSX application to do so.
    In your case, it sounds like they are basic text docs anyway. If TextEdit can open them, you might try just opening them directly with AppleWorks. You won't be able to just double click them for this to work, but open Appleworks, then from there, go to File>Open and navigate to one of your older OS9 docs, and see what happens.
    In the end, you may indeed need to go thru the Text Edit step, but it's work a try to try to bypass this step.
    Past all of THAT, Appleworks is EOL.... end of life, and someday soon, Appleworks may not work with the next iteration of Mac OSX. You should check out the new Pages.... it's new and will be supported longer than Appleworks for sure, so your documents will last longer.
    At work I have a PowerPC Quad G5, and it runs Classic mode just fine under 10.4, so Classic is not a dual processor issue. However, *no Intel Mac* will run Classic, period.

  • How do you empty the trash in the Classic Environment?

    There was a large file on my desktop, called ".tif" (no filename, just ".tif" and nothing else). It was apparently created by the VueScan scanning software. It was not an image I asked it to scan, it's just some sort of test image. It only appears to applications running in Classic. It does not appear to OSX applications, and the Find command in the OSX Finder can't find it.
    Using Sherlock 2, running under Classic, I was able to find this file, but the only thing I could do with it in Sherlock 2 was move it to the Trash. So now, it's sitting in the Trash of the Classic environment, but OSX doesn't see it, the Trash in OSX is empty.
    There is no "Empty Trash" command in Sherlock 2, or any other Classic program that I have. All of the third-party utility programs that I have for OS 9, such as Norton Utilities, DiskWarrior, etc., won't run under Classic. When I try to run them, I simply get a message, "That application is not supported by Classic."
    So, how can I get rid of this file? It is only visible to the Classic environment. Are there any utility programs that run under Classic that can cause the Classic environment Trash to be emptied?
    Thank you

    Hi, Bob. I have no way to replicate your problem and test this suggestion on my Mac, but I'm confident that it will work. Download File Buddy 8 and use its Find command to search for a file whose name is .tif, including both visible and invisible files in the search. (The "." at the start of the file's name makes it invisible in OS X). Once you find it, select it in File Buddy's hit list — make very sure you're selecting the right file and only that file — and use the Delete command in FB's File menu — not the Trash button in FB's toolbar. "Delete" will remove the file instantly and irrevocably, no matter where it resides, ignoring the usual rigmarole associated with the Trash.
    File Buddy is to the Finder what Photoshop is to QuickTime PictureViewer, or Word is to SimpleText. Anything FB can't do to or with your files (and much of what it can), you should be scared of doing. But when you need it, there's no substitute.
