Tiger install kernel panics: get rid of all SCSI!

I have a G3 Bluetooth Mac, and could not install from the OS X DVD. I went nuts trying things, including buying new memory (which is now supplementing my original memory) and doing restarts and re-restarts.
Finally, based on a hint, I unplugged an external SCSI Zip drive I was using. I got a little further, but not completely.
This Mac had an Adaptec SCSI card, and it was running an internal Jaz drive as well as one of the computer's three hard drives. I removed the card (the hard drive was not where I was going to install anyway) and the installation made it all the way through.
I have not yet reconnected the SCSI card, but I have downloaded the latest driver to see if the beastie will work okay under 10.4.6 again. Anyway, take all the SCSI out of your Mac (if you can) if you're having install problems.
This should be included in the help page for Tiger installs.

Do you have the Default Tab extension?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window or otherwise make changes.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
Use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
If you do not keep changes after a restart or otherwise have problems with preferences, see:

Tiger Install - Kernel Panic

hallo all.
I know this has come up before. I have been given the grey Tiger install disks from a [newer] Mac mini. Forum answers elsewhere have stated that the grey disks are machine specific - does that mean model or actual product specific? if so would this explain why I get messsage:
'10.4.5 Kernel 8.5.3 Unable to find driver for this platform 'PowerMac 10.1'..no debugger configured...Panic:we are hanging here' and the mesage [in 4 languages] to restart
Have run disk utility to reassign permissions, and hardware/disk check, all ok.
Should I give up and stay with 10.3.9 [is all connected to trying to use girlfriends new ipod nano 4gb]!
best

That disk will only work on the specific model that it shipped with.
Unfortunately, Tiger will cost you more than 10.5 at this point, as many places that have it stock are selling it for $190 or so. On the other hand if you want to go with 10.5, you'll have to add memory - you should max out at 1 GB for 10.5.
So...you decide from here.

I am getting an error "The older version of Bonjour cannot be removed" I am trying to get rid of all of my Apple Software. What can I do? Because it will not let me uninstall iTunes either.

Akeenleyside,
Are you removing your Apple software in an attempt to update to iTunes 10.5? I ask this because I am getting the same message when trying to install iTunes 10.5.

No, you can not delete the pre-installed apps. However, you can hide them by placing them in a folder (create one by dragging one app onto another) and putting that folder on an unused page.

Getting rid of all the junk left behind from SL after upgraded to Lion

I still seem to have a-lot of junk that was left behind from SL - I want to get rid of it all as I want to just start with Lion from fresh.
Can someone tell me how to get rid of all the junk that SL left behind when I upgraded to Lion (like all the old plist files and all of that). Also I seem to still have some of my SL settings in there as well.
Ideally i would like to do a fresh install of Lion but I don't want to loose any of the stuff that came preinstalled on my computer (Like iLife and all of that) and since my NAS that I was using for Time Machine wont work on Lion there would be no way of backing up or restoring those.
Thus I am left with just manually deleting all of the junk.
Can someone give me some instruction on how I would go about doing that (like anyone that has already upgraded and then deleted all stuff SL leaves behind.)
Thanks
jason

You can start with /Utilities/System Information > System Report > Applications and delete all PPC apps.
Once you have your Apps cleaned up you could clone the system to another disk, do a clean install and just use Migrqtion Manager in Setup Assistant to migrate only Applications.

How to get rid of ALL the preview Icons in all the folders?

I want all the files on my computer to show the generic icon of the app, not the preview of it. I use very small icons and icon preview is a torture instead of pleasure – finding things in folders is an unbearable adventure.
I have untaged the "Show Icon Preview" in the 'View Options' tab and clicked 'Use as Defaults' button. Then restarted the Finder. It did the job for most files, but there are still many images, that still have their preview on.
I suppose that some Applications like Photoshop add custom previews to files when saving them, and those custom previews probably override the folder settings.
So - is there any way to get rid of all those CUSTOM image previews as well?

The Finder will display custom thumbnails when these are present, it can't help itself. For those programs that create their own custom thumbs the only thing you can do is re-set the preference from within the application itself to not create them, and to remove them from files that already have them. Someone has probably written an Applescript or Automator Workflow to remove them recursively from a folder full of images. You can ask in those forums. Otherwise you have to do GetInfo on the file, select the wee little icon at the top of the GetInfo window and press delete or cut the icon.

Can I get rid of all the passwords in my phone, and just turn it on?

Can I get rid of all the passwords in my phone, and just turn it on?

If you're referring to activation lock, no. If the phone is activation locked, you can not activate it without the credentials originally used to lock it.
Why don't you explain exactly what the problem is.
If you have a passcode set and don't want one, then set up Touch ID to make it faster for you to access the phone. Turning off the lock screen passcode entirely is not smart.

I bought a used IPAD 2- it still has the old users Apps, Password, 500 photos, -how do I get rid of all this to make it my own?

I bought this used I Pad 2. It still has the lady's password connected to everything- can't even upgrade her Netflix account- cause it's Her password! Ugh!
Has 500 photos of her kids' crap and a bunch of Apps I don't want. And videos. What do I do to get rid of all this?!
THANK YOU!

On the iPad, go to Settings > General > Reset and select Erase All Content and Settings, or restore the iPad with iTunes on your computer as a new iPad.

HT1386 I have double and triples of photo's on my iPad. Not all my pics but most of them. I was told that I screwed up in synching with iTunes when I initally set up. How in the **** do I get rid of all the dups? I cannot delete them from my iPad. HELP ME

If the shows are in fact still on the pad, they will be found in the videos app, not the music or I tunes app. Look there and see if they are still there.
If you don't see them there, go to the searchlight screen ( farthest left home page) and type in the name of one of the shows. If it is on the pad, hiding somewhere, this will find it.
If they are not there, they should not be using up space.
To get them back onto your pad, plug in and sync again. Make sure you transfer purchases first. Before you sync, take a look at the video tab in your I tunes, and check what you want and don't want synced.

How Do I Get Rid of all these Pop-Up Windows?

Somewhere along the line, something seems to have added itself to Safari, so now every other new window is a sales site. For example, just in the last couple of clicks I've had two different pop-ups for Mac cleaning utilities (MacKeeper is CONSTANTLY appearing) and even a telephone support line. What can I do to get rid of all these pop-ups? Is it a virus? I admit I don't keep as close an eye on that sort of thing as I probably should. They are driving me to the point where I'm about to try Firefox just to see if I can get rid of some of them, but I like Safari so much better so I'd like to solve the problem if I can. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Click here and follow the instructions, or if there’s a type of adware not covered by them on the computer, these ones. If you're willing to use a tool to remove it(you don't need to, but may find it easier), you can instead run Adware Medic; this link is a direct download.

Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes does not create duplicates.
Only the user importing content multiple times creates duplicates.
Delete the duplicates and stop importing the same content multiple times.

How can i get iTunes to get rid of all the album art so my list of artists is nice and tight

just trying to get rid of all of the artwork on itunes so that I can have nice lists

If you removed all the art iTunes would still display an image against each artist and not squash them up any closer...
Surely having the correct art for every album is more attractive.

Some, possibly, but shouldn't be a problem.

Much of it is OSX and other things needed to run your Mac.
See The Storage Display for an explanation, and don't miss the link to Where did my Disk Space go?

I've used Brasso to remove minor scratches/scuffs from my Nano and 5th Gen iPod. It works pretty well, and it's available at any hardware store. Your local supermarket might even carry it in the isle with cleaning products.
I don't know how well it would work for you. Having the iPod dragged around the floor sounds pretty rough. If it has deep scratches, there might not be anything you can do for it.
