SCSI and Classic won't work

Hi folks,
I have read through some threads about SCSI but can't find anything I can use for my problem. I don't even know what kind of card I have --I'm technically challenged and don't get the inner working of a computer (this includes the system, I'm afraid).
I have a G4 with a scsi card that my system profiler calls "pci9004,7850".
Connected to it is an old Agfa Scanner (and behind it two unpowered optical drives).
Well, everything works just fine as long as I boot from the old OS9 partition.
But coming from OS10.4, Classic asks me after starting the scan app (a plug-in in PS on OS9 partition) to please connect the scanner etc. I did switch on the scanner first before booting.
Is there a way to make this scanner work from OSX, or should I just continue as I have, using native OS9?
Thank you.
Cor

Hi, Cor.
You wrote: "Is there a way to make this scanner work from OSX..."Assuming your scanner's manufacturer has not released updated, Mac OS X-compatible drivers, you may get your scanner to work using VueScan. Download it and try it for free with your scanner. If it works, buying a registration removes the watermark and quality degradation on test scans.
VueScan's Web site also has a list of supported and unsupported scanners.
If VueScan will not work for your scanner, another option is to look at SilverFast.
If none of these options work for you, and your scanner worked in Mac OS 9, then it may still be possible to use your scanner in Classic mode.
I use VueScan with my UMAX Astra 6450 FireWire scanner under Mac OS X with excellent results.
Note that some of the information above is from the "Scanners" chapter of my book, Troubleshooting Mac® OS X, Second Edition.
Good luck!

Classic won't work on lombard in OS 10.2.

I am currently running OS 10.2.8 on my Lombard and classic won't work. I also have a G5 dual 1.8 with OS 10.4 that also will not run classic...
When I startup on either computer-
Window appears:
You have Mac OS 9.1 installed. If you want to install Mac OS 9.2... Classic will not startup.
then as classic starts, window appears:
The system software on the startup disc only fuctions on original media, not if copied to another drive.
My problem is I no longer have the OS 9.1 install disk that came with my computer...I assume I need a NEW OS 9.1 or 9.2 install/boot disc. Where can I download a copy of a OS 9.1 or 9.2 install/boot disc so I can run in Classic mode or what can I do to make classic run on these systems?
ALSO I cannot boot from the CD/DVD player on my Lombard. I recently had to go to Mac store and have the System repaired by removing the drive from the Lomard and useing a "sled" to reinstall OS. That was the only way to work it because my Lombard doesnt restart. As a matter of fact I have to "reset" in back of the Lombard evertime or most times just to startup. Could that be part of the problem besides needing a new install/boot disc?
-Thanks
Doesn't Mac have a site where I can download a copy of a install disc for classic?

Richard,
It sounds as though the OS 9.1 currently on your HD was drag-copied from the MacOS 9.1 CD; Apple does not permit this and thus the message you receive.
There is no free download of any complete, modern OS except OS 7.5.3, and this will do you no good. Your only solution is to install a fresh OS 9.x from a retail MacOS System CD. This can be a MacOS 9.0/9.0.4/9.1/9.2.1 CD and you can freely update any version of 9.x to 9.2.2.
In addition, if the MacOS 9 HD driver is not installed, you will be unable to boot to OS 9.x but "Classic" will still run when booted to 10.x.
The failure to start without pressing the reset button sounds like a failure of the backside L2 cache, a common issue on the Lombard. If this is the problem, the only fix is a replacement microprocessor card. When your Lombard is running, open the System Profiler and see if it reports either 512K or 1MB of L2 cache in Hardware Overview.

Hi, I was just wondering how much it would cost to repair the rear camera of my iPhone 4s. I dropped it and it won't work and I hear something rattling inside when I shake it. How much would it cost to fix?

If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

Since iOS 7.1 my phone won't turn on and is asking me to connect to iTunes. I connect to itunes and it says it needs to be restored. Not sure why. I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone

Since iOS 7.1 my phone won't turn on and is asking me to connect to iTunes. I connect to itunes and it says it needs to be restored. Not sure why. I try to restore it and then it says something went wrong and it won't work. So I've been without my phone for a couple days now. It gives me error code (29). The phone almost reboots and then 3/4 of the way through it gives me the error message.

If using windows...
Temporarily disable your firewall and antivirus software and try again...

I am having the same problem. I even changed my password and updated all of my security information. Now it just gives me an error and retry message, which of course also does not work. Went to support and was going to open a chat (seemed the simpler option) and received a message that my support has expired for this serial number unless I want to pay $29.00. So I chose the option to call later, which was the exact time suck I was trying to avoid. Why wouldn't the new operating system also update the apps that were already part of my old platform?

Keys ±, 3, e, d and c won't work on wireless keyboard so I cannot log in to my iMac

Keys ±, 3, e, d and c won't work on my wireless keyboard. I cannot log in to my iMac because my password includes a 3. I've tried logging in as a guest user and tested the keyboard with Safari. The problem keys do't work there either so it looks like a keyboard issue rather than a software one. Does anyone have any ideas about fixing it please?
(I'm sending this plea from my trusty MacBook Pro!)

Try resetting the PRAM. It may also be that that key has failed......

Are you sure it was error 0604 since I never heard of that error, it does not appear in the list of errors in the following and a search of Apple's support site gets no hits. However, error 1604 is list and users have reported that error number. If 1604 is the error number the following tell yu wnat to do when you click on that error number:

My netflix isn't working on my MacBook Pro. I tried 3 different browsers and it won't work on any of them. It said I have to update my Adobe player, which I did, but it still won't work.

My netflix won't play on my computer. At first it wouldn't work in Safari and it gave me a redirect failure (too many redirects). Then I tried it in Chrome and it won't work in there. It work for a few days in Firefox and now that doesn't work either. I have a MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite version 10.10.2. I just updated because I thought that would help. I tried clearing my history/cache but that didn't work. Do I have a Mac version of a virus? Help! What is wrong?
Also, I noticed when I log into my computer with my password when I first turn my computer on, The password box is slightly off center the first time, then I type my password, then it comes up again looking centered like it's supposed to. What is happening???

I'm trying to type in my credit card number in my iTunes account and it won't work?

By 'won't work' you mean ? If you are getting an error message then what does it say ?
For a card to have a chance of being accepted it needs to be registered to exactly the same name and address (including format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account, and have been issued by a bank in the country where you and your iTunes account are.
