System Install - Quicksilver

I have purchased two "refurbished" G4 Quicksilvers 867. I am trying to run OS 9.2.2. They came with a "Backup Disk" containing a 9.2.2 system but, by now, but I need to reinstall a clean system. Is there available anywhere, the original restore disk? Is there available anywhere, a 9.2.2 install disk?
If I understand correctly, the machines shipped with OS 9.2.1. Is that correct? So, one could use a 9.2.1 install disk and update to 9.2.2?

Hmmm??! Well, here's a report/response:
- There is no Zip drive on the machine and Iomega driver was already disabled
- The Multiprocessing folder was present in the Extensions - with only a file called "Apple CPU Plugins" version 3.3 installed by OS 9.2.1
- I disabled the Input Sprocket extension
The only difference in behavior between now and this afternoon is the disappearance of the "OUT OF SCAN RANGE" banner
As to the monitor sleep, I have a Sony Trinitron energy conscious display which goes to a low-voltage black screen state is without signal 10 minutes independently of the computer. Actually, I sometimes wish I could disable that for when I want to watch an install or long copy.
There is another point to be noted here - I have two of these machines back to back in the same room. One is mine and the other my wife's. It's my job to administer both! They are identical in hardware and almost identical in software. She has a couple of apps I don't and different printers. So, usually when one misbehaves, it is fairly simple to find what is different. In this case, my machine shuts down into sleep (fan stops and all) whenever I give it the Sleep command (Special menu or control strip) and wakes promptly when a key is touched.
With the wife's, the symptoms are really not what is described in any of this - It's not "sluggish" - it just doesn't! It doesn't reach full sleep (fan is still running) and it doesn't come back without pushing the restart button with the First Aid check and all.
Any other ideas? I think I will start another thread to see if we attract others since this started out as a 9.2.2 install question. OK?

Adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem

Hi,
I got this message after importing about ten or so H.264 files that I encoded from Adobe media encoder. "adobe encore the software that's used to decode the media is not available on this system. installing the correct decoders for the file you are working with may help correct the problem."
The files we're shot with HD cameras. Edited in Premiere Pro CS3. I installed the update 3.0.1 with still the same error.
I also tried a brand new project and after about ten or so files being imported into a timeline, the system crash. I tried this twice....
    Thanks in Advance

Hi Hunt,
       Here is the skinny. A window base PC. footage shot with HD sony HD cameras, Project imported to Premiere CS3. Once completed sent file to Adobe media encoder and render them as H.264 widescreen high Quality. Imported them to Adobe Encore CS3. After about ten files or so. I got the error message. Did all the basic trouble shoot like restarting the computer, got latest patch. Even build a new test project with the same problem.
    Something else I read in the forums, is the encore will transcoded the project to Mpeg 2 anyway, after looking at my project I realized those few files were indeed untranscoded. So it will be a double compression and I dont want that. So, my new question is, what is H.264 good for ?????????? I was research that Mpeg 2 is a faster render but H.264 is a slower render but better quality.....
   what do you think ????

IMac won't read the System Install DVD after trying a Software Update (Whic

Last weekend I tried downloading the 10.4.7 update to my iMac. Towards the end of the download the iMac crashed out and said that the Software Update was unsuccessful. As this was the case I tried rerunning the 'Software Update' again but after a few seconds of the application running and the little window being on the screen, it just dropped out and exited. As this was therefore not working I tried to download the Software Update as a Stand Alone application. I found after downloading the file that mounting a disk image on my iMac no longer works. My next step was to try and reinstall OS X from the System Install DVD. I put the DVD in the DVD Drive and found that after it whirred for about 20 seconds, the disk ejected. I thought this was odd so I tried to boot the iMac , holding down the 'C' key once the DVD was in place inside the iMac. The Mac powered up and then the DVD whirred for a while and once again it ejected the DVD. I now have no way of reinstalling OS X..and am at a loss. I called up the supplier of the iMac as I only purchased it in May 2006. They advised me that the warranty only covers Hardware and not Software. They said with a problem like this it could be expensive to try and work out what is causing it as it is sort of an unknown. I would like to know if anyone else has had this problem, is there some way I can see what the iMac is doing when it is trying to read the DVD and the ejects it, and is there some way of 'resetting' the iMac so that it is in the initial state. I know the BIOS on these machines is a 'soft' BIOS so as the supplier said, it is quite possible that the Software Update has corrupted the soft BIOS on the machine. Any ideas?

Yes. It is possible that the DVD could be bad.
It is also possible that your corrupted installation is preventing the DVD from working right.
It would seem strange, except that this happened with another guy as well. But, once we disconnected his internal hard drive with the corrupted OS 10.4.7 install, the machine booted from the DVD and worked properly. We then connected a different hard drive to install to, and it worked fine. Then, we connected the drive as a secondary and formatted it and it resumed working.
But, with an iMac CoreDuo, you cannot open the machine to unplug the drive. So, you'll be a bit stuck if you require the same solution. He had a PowerMac G5.
But, basically, his corrupted OS 10.4.7 installation was preventing booting from a CD, booting into safe mode, booting from an external drive, or any other kind of booting.
So, for him, the only option was disconnecting the internal drive and installing on another one.
I hope this doesn't turn out to be necessary on your system as well. If so, you'll need to take it into the shop for servicing.
The only other option I could think of is to try and boot it into Target Disk mode, and format it's drive with another computer. Perhaps that would work.
Once your internal drive has been cleared (formatted), then it may boot from the DVD again (assuming your problem is the same as the other guys).
You can read about Target Disk Mode here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583
You can read about the steps we took to troubleshoot and repair the other guys machine here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2629919#2629919
Perhaps that will help explain what I described above.
I hope this helps.

System Install Problems

Hi
I am reinstalling my mac mini with the system install disks (10.4.5). The first disk works fine. I am then asked to insert disk 2 though my mini refuses to recognize the disk as the correct disk. One of my friends has an identical model - bought at the same time - I tried using his disks and encountered the same problem. I'm unable to do anything as the mini will not let me out of this screen.
Any suggestions of what to do?

Combine fresh system install and Time Machine Backup

Hi all !
There´s a question that´s more generally Leopard and Snow Leopard related:
In trying to find causes of a system slowdown I decided to go for a complete fresh system install. BUT I also want to use my data saved in the time machine backup without spoiling the freshly created system folder.
I also want to update the system to the current OS version before restoring from BU.
Is there a way to keep the fresh system folder deriving from a fresh installation and just replace the rest of the data (that´s not present yet) with the time machine backup ?
I think the handy command "Restore System from Backup" from the OSX system installer wouldnt be a good idea. It would copy ALL the files from the backup, and would overwrite my fresh system folder, so that I´ll end up with the same old, probably faulty system.
Could the migration tool do the job ?
Thanks for your knowledge !

You should be able to migrate, for example, just your data using TM. But, TM is a bit unpredictable. Why not make a bootable clone of your internal on an external. It would serve fail-safe purposes, migrations purposes, and data-backup purposes. At the end of your install, you could, as groups only, migrate your data, users, settings, and apps--using your discretion. I would migrate only my data and my settings.

See above.

Absolutely correct.

You can use Migration Assistant with TM, but I have never done so. So, I can't advise. The clone I mentioned takes care of all you issues in a very straight forward manner without dealing with the confusion of TM and MA that can arise.

Macbook circa 2010 w 2 Systems installed - 1 incomplete

Hello,
Looks like I squeezed the gist of the problem into the subject line. This is my wifes computer so information is limited on 'what happened'. I do not know how the second system got on the HDD, but it is incomplete and is somehow booted to occassionally. When it's the boot drive there are numerous issues due to the incomplete nature of it. Holding the 'R' key on start up or using system preferences > start up disc both work for booting to the correct disc.
It just occurred to me that perhaps the HD is partioned - hmmm - would Disk Utility tell me / show me whether or not the HD was partioned? Guessing it must be in order to have two systems installed. I suppose in this case the HD would require a full erase to rid it of the partial system?
I feel like I'm answering my own question, but having the pro's opinion is always a good idea.
The question is how can I remove the offending disc (system)?

Guess I'll have to take a closer look at 'just deleting' a partition - didn't know you could do it. Assuming if the one is deleted then it's space is absorbed into the remaining partition?
I'm using CCC to transfer to a network volume - used to be my Time Machine backup but Apple and Buffalo technologies diverged and things are no longer compatible for TM - now I just afp to it and use CCC for occassional stuff like this.
I've always been 'quirky' about erasing when things don't resolve with permission repair or Applejack or even Disk Warrior. The thinking is that erasing will get the bug where ever it is.
P.S. Managed to delete the one partition (150GB) but the remaining (100GB) can't be enlarged or so it seems.

How do I re-download and install Acrobat 11 Standard - after I wiped my system installing Win 8?

How do I re-download and install Acrobat 11 Standard - after I wiped my system installing Win 8?

There is no trial version for Acrobat XI Standard. What Leonard suggested would work for Pro however.
If you purchased Acrobat via a download from Adobe, you can re-download by going to the "My Orders" page on Adobe's web site (https://www.adobe.com/account/account-orders.html). You would also find you serial number there. If this does not work, you can download the software from here: Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | XI, X - if you've registered your software, you can lookup your serial number here: https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html#MyProductsHeader

Lost OS System install CD's.

Lost OS System install CD's. I need to get replacement from Apple Care. Since I don't have a plan with Apple Care they want the onetime fee of $49.95 just to answer the call from the automated system. Is that right. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance

Sounds right to me. But
Look on eBay or your local CragsList. You might find an inexpensive copy of the disks you need.
If your computer is able to run Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) then consider purchasing the $30 Snow Leopard installer from Amazon or another retailer. It's less expensive than going through AppleCare.

No operating system installed or corrupted partition

I have a MacBook Pro and wanted to setup Boot Camp 2.0 so that I could run windows in order to install programs neccessary to manage my Blackberry.
I partitioned the XP as 10Gb and formatted FAT 32. The XP Home CD I used was one originally for my Gateway laptop. Had to back up everything on an external HD and install Mac OS x 10.5.1 (erase and install) since files could not be moved if I had all my info on the computer. Everything went well off the clean install until I had to install boot camp drivers for windows. I could not install updated features because it was SP1.
So I found another Gateway XP Home CD this time it was SP2 (used for my mom's desktop). First, deleted the windows partition by using boot camp assistant. And tried the process over again, this time with the SP2 cd. Partition kept the same at 10Gb, but upon restarting the screen went black and said "No operating system installed or partition corrupted, press 'R' to perform system recovery". Tried 'R' but nothing happened, seemed frozen. The SP1 cd is able to get some response upon a restart, but that is not the cd I want the computer to read and set up again. Sorry for the drawn out explanation, but I don't know where to go from here...

Sweet! I appreciate your help. Boot camp confuses me because I always had the thought that if you already had a win xp cd then you could just boot that up on your mac computer. Did not realize that if it is registered or tied to another computer that that would limit it, and force you to buy a whole new Win operating system.
I am just worried now that my partition/disk is messed up now after all those clean installs and unsuccessful boot camp installs and removals. I went into Disk Utility and ran a "repair disk" on my Mac HD. It came back with 9 warnings regarding SUID files that have either been modified or simply cannot be repaired. Will yet another "erase and install" from the Mac OS X Leopard cd fix all these or no? Is that the best way to go about a fix? Just want to make sure I have done no permanent damage so I can restore all my data off my external HD and possibly try boot camp againt, correctly, in the future.

Can't boot off System Install Disc

I'm trying to boot off what I think is my original system install disc to run disc utility. When I do the dvd spins up for a minute, stops and the computer only displays a blank grey screen.The System Install disc is version 10.5. The computer, an intel i7 iMac, is running system 10.6.6. I also tried booting off the Snow Leopard install disc but had the same problem.
I'm trying to run disc utility off the install disc because I've been having problems with the machine, ran disc utility of the HD, and got the "This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X Install disc0, and then use Disc Utility to repair this disc"

Check the disc to make sure they are not dirty. Either disc will do the job, but the 10.6 is better, of course.
Try this: Boot the iMac normally and insert the disc. When it mounts, open the disc image and start the installer. It will ask you to restart. When it restarts you will be prompted to select a language. In the next window you can cancel the installer and open the disc utility to do your repairs.

My iMac computer was recently worked on and in the process it was completely stripped down and new operating system installed.

Any help resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated!
