Troubles with installing/upgrading OS 9.1 to 9.2 on second drive

Hi - I have an older G4 450mhz sawtooth unit. It came with
Panther on the main drive. I upgraded to Tiger, added a
new DVD superdrive, Scsi card, ATI Radeon 8500 vid card
and just put in a second HD. I decided to install OS 9.1
on the 2nd drive so I dual boot and run my old programs and
or use Classic thru Tiger. I have tried updated OS 9.1 to
9.2 and succeeded with the install but now it locks up at
the Apple setup assistant. I can move the cursor but can't
click or change anything. When I turn off the extensions
and restart it will let me change extensions, etc but I can't do anything really, no dvd drive but it lets me use
the mouse and keyboard. I added new keyboard/ mouse that
came from a G5. Could it be these peripherals? Any ideas
which extensions are causing the problems? Thanks -Jon

Hi, Jon -
First, boot with Extensions Off (with Shift held down).
Then look in the Extensions folder for a file named PrefRestoreInit - if you find it, throw it away.
Also, look in the Startup Items folder (in System Folder) for an alias named Mac OS Setup Assistant. If you find that, then throw it away.
Now try a normal restart into OS 9.2.1.
I have tried updated OS 9.1 to 9.2....
I assumed you mean update to OS 9.2.1 via download update, since there is no update to OS 9.2 that is applicable for your machine. Is this correct?
The distinctions between the three possible OS 9.2.x's are important.
OS 9.2 (technically, OS 9.2.0, I suppose, though it is not noted that way) is a model-specific version that came with the original G4 QuickSilver machines, and perhaps other models released about the same time.
OS 9.2.1 is available several ways - as a download update, for installation on top of OS 9.1; as a retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD (full-install, for any model supported for that version); and as a model-specific full-install version that came with some models.
OS 9.2.2 is available only two ways - as a download update, for installation on top of OS 9.2.1; and as a model-specific full-install version that came with some models.

  • I'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

    i'm having trouble with installing a 8g kit in my late 2009 mac mini. when the parts are installed all i get is a beeping sound, is there any way to get around this?

    What is the source & link to this 8 GB kit please?
    Can you count the beeps or flashes?
    1 beep = no RAM installed
    2 beeps = incompatible RAM types
    3 beeps = no good banks
    4 beeps = no good boot images in the boot ROM (and/or bad sys config block)
    5 beeps = processor is not usable
    In addition to the beeps, on some computers the power LED will flash a corresponding number of times plus one. The LED will repeat the sequence after approximately a 5-second pause. The tones are only played once.
    Note: In this case, a flash is considered to be 1/4 second or 250 ms or greater in length.

  • Trouble with Lion upgrade: 2009 Mac Mini not rebooting.

    Hi folks,
    I'm having trouble with the Lion upgrade. My 2009 Mac Mini (running Snow Leopard) won't reboot. Everything looked fine, but it just went black after the gray and white Apple symbol screen on the restart and I can't get it to get past this. I should mention I'm using wireless keyboard and trackpad (both Apple) and a Philips HDTV via HDMI cable as monitor. Any thought? Looking forward to using Lion.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Is anyone else having this problem (an infinite loop of "You need to restart your computer" messages)?
    Any thoughts or suggestions? I don't know how I can fix the problem, since I can't properly boot into the OS. I tried holding down the shift button to boot into Safe mode, only to achieve the same results.
    Any help would be much appreciated. I'm really looking forward to using Lion.
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • [SOLVED] Trouble with Install that I've never seen before (Gnucash)

    Hello all! I am rather new to Arch. I came over from Windows (disgruntled up to Win 7). When I first came over to Linux I did so via Ubuntu (12.04 and 13.10) and Mint (16). Seeing that Ubuntu would love to eventually sell us all out I decided to give Arch a try and LOVED IT! The install went smoothly and almost every program that I have needed has installed flawlessly..That is with the exception of Gnucash. I do a lot of freelance bookkeeping work and Gnucash is most definitely the best program I have found out there (even when I was using Windows). I have tried to install from BOTH the official repository and the AUR with no luck. I am using a 64 bit install of Arch on a Dell Inspiron 1440. All of my packages and repositories have been updated through pacman -Syu and -Syy. Below is the results message that I receive when trying to install from EITHER repository (AUR version is what I have posted). It shows that there appear to be two corrupt packages. If any of you can guide me in the right direction as to how to possibly rectify my trouble I would be most appreciative. (Also: if I am posting this in the wrong area please let me know where the better place would be.)

  • Troubles with installing quicktime : macbook being h e ll !

    Hello everybody,
    first, i would like to apologize for my bad english, i'm french and i don't speak very well english.
    Il will try to explain my trouble :
    I'm the owner of a macbook ( MAC OS 10.6 ) for more than four years.
    I try to upgrade Quicktime Player, because when i tried to watch movies with it, i got a error message : " You have to upgrade Quick Time, etc " and i folow the link :http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/  and i downloaded it and installed on my computer. It asked me to reboot. I did it. And H e ll was coming on my poor Macbook :
    - about five minutes to boot,
    - Icons on the desk don't appear
    - impossible to launch any process like i-tunes, firefox, teamspeack...
    - options of the high menu are disables ( finder, time, wi-fi, bluetooth)
    - i can't shut off the macbook normally. I have to force it.
    I take a (bad) picture :
    I tried to press APPLE-S at the start and used the fsck -fy function, i get :
    FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED
    After three others trys, i get :
    " The volume Macintosh HD appears to be OK. "
    I type : " reboot " but it's the same like usual = doesn't work.
    I tried to press APPLE shift at the start, nothing changes.
    My DVD-reader is broken, i can't ' format ' or reaload Mac OS 10.6, so i'm asking for a solution.
    I thank you for any help you could bring to me, and i apologize for my bad english,
    cordialy,
    Baacha.

    Hi,
    i can go to the Disk Utility with hard freeze ( and some icons don't appear ) but when i double click on Disk Utility, nothing happens.

  • Trouble with install disks - is it OK to make a copy of them?

    Finally, I am trying to make a copy of the install disks that came with my MBP. This was recommended in several threads for preserving the original and having backups just in case.
    I used Disk Utility to make a disk image - choosing DVD/CD master, no encryption - as I was instructed on another thread. I made the disk images fine of the 2 disks - they are now saved as disk images in the .cdr format. While I was at it, I made a disk image of the TechTool Deluxe CD that came with my AppleCare.
    When I inserted a CD (and then I tried a DVD) into the slot to Burn the disk image of the first (and then the second) install disk, I got the message that there is not enough room on the disk I am trying to use (for either disk). I had no trouble burning a disk of the TechTool Deluxe - I did that on a CD.
    When I go to Get Info for the disk image for the 2 install disks, it looks like each is no larger than 5 plus GB, which seems strange.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Mrs H

    When you make images of the discs, it is compressed. So when you get info of the image, that is smaller than the actual disc size. You said disc two was 3.97gb but really uncompressed it is likely over 6GB. For both install discs one and two, you need dual-layer DVDs to burn.
    Thanks for your help, mdpeterman.
    I wondered about the compressed issue - but since I chose CD/DVD master, (from Disk Utility Help: "If you want to use the disk image with a third-party application, choose CD/DVD master. The disk image contains a copy of all sectors of the disk, whether they're used or not, and copies them to other CDs or DVDs bit for bit") with no encryption I assumed that the size of the disk image was identical to the original.
    What you say tells me I'm wrong - that even with DVD master bit for bit, the image is compressed. Right?
    I'll get back to you when I have solved this...

  • Trouble with itunes upgrade I receive an error message problem with windows installer package

    I am trying to upgrade itunes.  I am running windows vista 64.  Everytime I try to upgrade I get an error that says Problem with windows installer package.  Anyone know how to fix this?

    No drivers in LowerFilters.
    No drivers in UpperFilters.
    Failed loading CD / DVD drives, error -43. Try doing a repair install on iTunes from the “Add or Remove Programs” control panel.
    I'd start with the following document, with one modification. At step 12 after typing GEARAspiWDM press the Enter/Return key once prior to clicking OK. (Pressing Return adds a carriage return in the field and is important.)

  • Trouble with installing/uninstalling illustrator and cloud manager

    I first was having trouble installing adobe illustrator CC trial. It kept having errors. I did what they suggested and now I cannot even install the creative manager. Now it will not even allow me to uninstall adobe illustrator (even though it never fully downloaded to begin with, it still shows up on control panel) I ran the adobe cloud cleaner multiple times, trying different settings and some of the times it says it had an error. Adobe illustrator doesn't even appear to exist on my computer other than being listed in control panel, yet I still can't get rid of it. I've restarted my computer. I've even tried downloading the trial from a different site and it would not work. Can anyone please help me?
    Thank you so much!

    There's a dedicated forum for installing. They might be able to help you better there:

  • Issues with installing upgrades launchpad waiting...

    I have just upgraded my iMac to Yosemite and i have been in the process of upgrading other software.
    The icon for iPhoto in the doc appeared with a crossed out circle when i tried to access and advised that a new version was available.
    As i normally would i clicked on the link to the app store and agreed for the new software to be installed, this was now a few days ago, the icon in my doc is still crossed out i have looked in launchpad and the icon in there is showing as opaque and with a status of waiting... in the App Store it is showing a status of installing. there seems to be no options to 'kickstar' the installation/download.
    In addition i can see that pages and Keynote also have the status of waiting however I can find the new version of them in finder but not iPhoto.
    Does anyone have any idea on what i can do, not being very technical with my iMac I don't really know where to start?
    If it helps its an early 2009 iMac 24inch running Yosemite 10.10.12.66GHz Processor and 4GB memory.
    Thanks

    Annoyingly after posing this i had to shut down my mac and 5 minutes after restarting, i retried the install and everything started working, annoyingly this wasn't the first restart (of both system and process) since i had discovered the problem so i don't know why it started working.

  • Having trouble with installing updates

    Hello,
    I am having trouble installing updates.  I checked the windowsupdate.log file and I see:
    2015-03-13

      * Criteria = "(DeploymentAction=* AND Type='Software') OR (DeploymentAction=* AND Type='Driver')"
    In reading others' posts, I noticed in their logs contain "DeploymentAction=Install" .. could this potentially be the issue why it will not install the update?   If so, where does this get set at so I can modify it?  I looked around
    but was not able to find this setting.
    Thanks for the help!

    Hello,
    Here is what I see in the logs.  Can you please take a look and see if anything stands out?  There are a lot of errors/failures/warnings in the
    WindowsUpdate.log.  Please look at the last 4 lines of this log listed below -- looks like it is looking for approval or  "WARNING: There are no approved updates to install".  Where is this coming from?  Is this
    why the updates do not get installed?    Thanks for any help in reviewing these logs.  Thanks.

  • Trouble With installing Snow Leopard on my 4 year old Macbook

    I'm trying to install Snow Leopard to my 4 year old Macbook stuck on 10.5.8, but it keeps saying "The application 'Install Mac OS X' cannot be used from this volume." I've tried almost everything to solve this, but I can't find anything at really helps my situation. I've looked on some of these discussions, and they haven't really helped much. My Macbook has a: 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, and is stuck on OS X 10.5.8. Please give me your input and help

    Are you using a Retail version of Snow Leopard that looks like this?
    Or gray discs that look like this?
    The gray discs are machine specific and will only work with the MacBooks that they were shipped with.

  • I have a mid-2010 13"macbook pro which I have had nothing but trouble with since upgrading the OS to Lion.

    My questions are how can I uninstall Lion and revert back to Snow Leopard, and will this  causes all my settings to revert back to default mode?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.
    Because this erases the drive and installs a new copy of Snow Leopard, you are effectively back to an original factory install of Snow Leopard.

  • Trouble with MS Word for Mac 2008 file open from LaCie NAS drive after installing Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick.

    Since installing Max OS X 10.9 "Maverick" when I open Word documents from my LaCie NAS drive they open as empty documents. When I copy them to my local hard drive and then open them the content is fine. Has anyone else run into this? I contacted LaCie and they said "we do not support OS X or MS Word so talk to Apple and Microsoft. I have a thread with Microsoft and here is one with Apple.
    Thanks

    I suspect that the issue with the EFI partition is unrelated to your Mac’s slow performance. I have had this same error message with Disk Utility. The EFI partition is related to firmware updates, and as it is not even booted when you boot from your usual boot drive, it is not relevant. (I was able to repair the EFI partition with Techtool Pro 7 , though, but then it reappeared, which makes me think it is a bug with Disk Utility.)
    I’d uninstall the following items, which are frequent flyers on the list of culprits for misbehaving macs:
    Blackberry
    google keystone agent
    Chrome
    Perian stopped being supported by the developer before Mountain Lion, so I doubt that it’s compatible with Mavericks.
    I have the same 8,2, BTW, and it is very fast. I like Kappy's suggestion. If getting rid of those 4 items above doesn't fix the problem, then a clean install (and not reinstalling your old "utilities" or other junk) will.
