Upgrade G3 B&W and G4 733 single processor from OS 9.2.1 to OS 10.4 Tiger

Back in August I asked several questions concerning the above, and a person named LIMNOS gave me some great info. Since both of my computers have only CD drives, he stated that I would need an external (firewire) DVD drive to do the installation. Am I to understand that all of the newer Macs that utilize DVD drives are firewire powered? If so, where can I purchase a couple of internal (firewire) DVD drives for my computers? I have only seen USB DVD drives in various stores, both external and internal......what's with that? I tried using an external USB DVD drive, and it opened the Gray G4 install/restore disk that I have, but It won't seem to go beyond that. I have taken LIMNOS advice and updated the firmware for both computers, and would like to know if I must Zero my HD's, or can I also install the OS into a partition, or even an external HD? I do graphic design, and have been running Macs for ten years (is there anything else?), But I need the ability to "bounce" back and forth between OS9 "classic" and OS 10......Any and all suggestions and info would be greatly appreciated.......Awesome Forum.........keep up the great work..........MACS RULE" !

Internal drives don't use USB or FireWire. Just buy a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-115D.
Most computer stores don't stock external FireWire DVD drives because FireWire is not standard on a PC. You can buy them from:

You can also buy a FireWire case and install your own optical drive

Gray G4 install/restore disk that I have
Grey disks are for a particular computer model. They may not work with yours. To be sure, you need the black retail discs.

This screenshot shows which previous versions of iPhoto are compatible with Mavericks. It also indicates which versions qualify for a free upgradeto iPhoto 9.5.1 and which require a purchase:
Note 1: every day more users are reporting problems with iPhoto 8.1.2 so I've included it in the non compatible category.
Note 2: If your previous version of iPhoto was iPhoto 7 (08) or earlier you'll need to download and run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application on the library before opening it with iPhoto 9.5.1

Upgrade G3 B&W and G4 Single Processor from OS 9.2.1 to 10.4 Tiger?

I Purchased a G4 Installation / restore disk OS 10.4......Used an external DVD drive and disk opens fine on both machines, but when I click on install, both machines give me the following error message (even if I use the "C" key on startup..."startup disk was unable to select the install CD as the startup disk (-2)....There is no support for OS 9 or it's related browsers on the internet, and I use both my G3 (home) and G4 (business)....I need to have access to the internet in both locations. Would someone kindly give me some advice on how to upgrade to OS 10.4.......drivers?.......use external Hard drive? Many thanks in advance......

Hi Limnos......Many thanks for the info...good stuff. As it turns out, my G3 B&W is a server version and was given to me by a company that I worked for until they moved to northern (brrr) Wisconsin. It has two SCSI cards, one of them the LVD -2 ADPT card. Thanks to you I have already installed the firmware on the card. Some of the info on trhe G3 suggests that I need to be running O.S. 8.6 to upgrade to O.S. X???? I have been running O.S.9.2.1 for years but Comcast, E- Bay and half the rest of the world out there no longer supports Browsers, etc. for O.S. 9....Why would I need 8 when I have 9.2.1.that doesn't make much sense. This computer IMHO was way ahead of it's time and cost the company that gave it to me something in the neighborhood of $2700.00 when they bought it new! It has two firewire ports along with USB and the SCSI
cards and SCSI hard drive.....It is a great computer, and the only reason that I never tried to upgrade to O.S.10
sooner is the fact that it has been rock solid reliable running 9.2.1, and I kept hearing about "glitches going on with the early versions of O.S.10." You know how that one goes..."If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it". I had Adelphia Cable Internet for quite a few years, and they supported O.S.9, but their tech people for the most part were clueless about the macs. I really need to get X on this machine!
One final question...My G4 is a single processor 733 machine, and believe it or not was given to my son when it was only a year old! We didn't get an O.S. install disk with it, but the (gray) disk I just purchased IS
a G4 (specific) install/ restore disk that according to many threads I've seen should work on my G4. I haven't been able to determine from the info you so kindly gave me if it needs a firmware update or not? There seem to be so many versions of the G4 that I'm not sure what category it fits into as far as firmware requirements are concerned........It has plenty of RAM and two firewire ports, but beyond that I'm puzzled. Thanks again!

How do I upgrade to snow leopard and then restore my files from my time machine HDD backup...without losing any data or reinstalling leopard (10.5)?

How do I upgrade to snow leopard (from leopard 10.5) and then restore my files from my time machine HDD backup...without losing any data or reinstalling leopard (10.5)?

Hello, it's great you have a backup, but 10.6 should just Install 10.6 system files over the top of 10.5 system files, & leave all your data intact on the drive.

DMS99,
If you are using iTunes on a computer, the arrow is just to the right of the song price, like this:
If you are using it on an iPhone or iPad, it may look different.

I upgraded to 6.02 and still get this message from Gmail: "You are using an old version of Firefox which Gmail no longer supports. Some features may not work correctly. Upgrade to new version."

When I opened Gmail in my Firefox browser, I got a message I've never seen, before: "You are using an old version of Firefox which Gmail no longer supports. Some features may not work correctly. Upgrade to new version." I clicked on upgrade to a new version and was taken to the Mozilla site, where I downloaded the latest version of Firefox... then, when I restarted my computer, Gmail still gives me the same message!! What's going on?

Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and a Mac with an Intel processor.

Upgraded to ios 6 and my music wont transfer from iTunes to iPod

I upgraded to ios6 and plugged it into my laptop. I had all of my 4000 songs on iPod before I plugged it into iTunes. I had no problem before and it synced just fine. I had all my music on the iPod Touch. It synced my movies and apps, but won't sync my music. What gives?

Ok so I fixed my problem. It actually, for some weird reason, only loaded one song onto my iPod when I initially synced to iTunes. I was thinking it loaded all of my Apps and Movies FIRST and didn't load my music until last and didn't have enough room (?), (My 64GB iPod was pretty close to full as it was), I suspect, so I told iTunes which movies and apps to NOT load this time (unchecked the ones I didn't want- you don't lose them BTW, just won't load to iPod) and made room for my music.
At least iTunes still had all my music but the iTunes to iPod wouldn't download all my music. So in the screen in iTunes on the tab for music, I told it to erase my library on my iPod, (which was only one song anyway), and then told it to upload my library again and everything was fine.
I think your problem was it didn't complete the software upgrade because the download to your iPod got cut off from WI-FI. Did you upload all of your music to iCloud? Maybe that is the root of your problem. I too tried out the iMatch and didn't like it because I had to have internet connection all the time to be able to listen to my music. I was able to revert back to the original at least. (A waste of $25). I'm sure you still have your music library on your computer in your default music folder: (C:\Users\Andre\Music\iTunes\iTunes Music). So don't worry, it should still be there. The trick now is getting all your music back onto the iPod.
Good luck. Wish I could help you more.

Trying to upgrade from dual 500MHz to single processor

Question 1
My Mac G4 GE has a dual 500 Mhz processor installed. Is it possible to upgrade to a 7447, 7448 or 7455 single processor or do I have to stay with a dual processor for my G4 to work?
Question #2
Can you tell me when the upgrade will not help anymore since my G4 has a 100Mhz Bus or maybe any other hardware that will limit the processor up to a certain speed?
Thank you guys

Hi-
Is it possible to upgrade to a 7447, 7448 or 7455 single processor
Yes.
do I have to stay with a dual processor for my G4 to work?
No.
maybe any other hardware that will limit the processor up to a certain speed?
The processor will run at stated speed.
Any hardware that is faster or more powerful than the component being replaced will enhance performance.
Can you tell me when the upgrade will not help anymore since my G4 has a 100Mh
RAM is the only thing that will not be upgradeable, as far as speed. Larger capacity is no problem, and will help performance.
Of course, all upgrades are relative to the bus speed and throughput on the bus. As compared to a faster system, the performance won't be as high overall.
But, this is comparing apples to oranges......

Just upgraded to iphoto 9 and photos are gone

Hello i just upgraded to iphoto 11 and most of my photos from my airport disk are gone. Only the ones i imported this year are recovered. HELP!
I have photos of my clients that are very very important.
f

With respect
Not having an up-to-date back up is like driving without a seatbelt. You may well be fine but if something goes wrong you'll be worse off than if you were wearing one.
Upgrading anything without a back up is the same, except now you're driving blindfolded and drunk, so something is much more likely to go wrong. And if it does you'll be much much worse off than if you had one.
Next: Is that a network connection to that Disk? If so, then it's not a appropriate location for an iPhoto Library.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
See this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
for more. Note also the comment:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”
So, before we can start to figure out a solution you'll need to confirm that the library is on a correctly formatted disk and with a wired connection to the Mac.
Then tell us the size of the Library in the Finder.

Upgraded to 5.0 and now more fonts aren't showing up correctly

I had a previous problem with a colon not appearing correctly on websites and instead, I got FF 1A. Initially it looked like FF IR but FF 1A is the unicode or UTF font for that being it is a wider colon than normal.
I downloaded every font set I could find, even things that are odd shaped things I couldn't possibly ever use and the colon problem was taken care of, but then certain things in email started showing up with an FF 1A, or something else for that unicode and now that I've upgraded to 5.0, a lot more websites are showing these instead of the actual letters, numbers, or punctuation marks.
I even have Fontfinder installed but it isn't much help. I never had this problem until version 4.0.1 I don't know what else to do. I have Unicode UTF-8 for the character encoding because that is what fixed the colon problem, but now I'm having trouble with more characters.
I can't read the boxes, like I could for the colon FF 1A, but on this website
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8_Man
Before each episode there are several boxes and each has a different set of numbers and letters and I zoomed in as much as I could and still can't make them out "魔女エスパー The Witch Esper" I can't tell if the first one is 98 54 or 9B 54. But there are several of these on this website, and I don't know what other fonts to try and install.
They are messed up in Internet Explorer, but most of them are just boxes with nothing in them, but I know this is support for Mozilla Firefox only and I don't really use Internet Explorer.
I can't seem to get online when someone in "Live Help" is available and there isn't a phone number to reach anyone in Support so I am very frustrated because these problems weren't happening before version 4 or 5 and I can't find any more fonts that would help. I believe "Wingdings" are automatically installed with Windows-XP, but these missing characters are supposed to be letters, numbers or punctuation marks, and they aren't showing up correctly, so windings wouldn't matter anyways and I am at my wits end.
I have never had a problem with any computer until now and I even reformatted and did every single update available for Windows-XP and even the ones that are still coming out.
For some reason below where it says
We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system. When I click on "Show Details" under "installed plug-ins", it shows these
* Office Plugin for Netscape Navigator
* Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape 10.1.0
* DRM Store Netscape Plugin
* DRM Netscape Network Object
But I don't know why and I doubt that is the problem. You can't even get Netscape anymore.
It's so frustrating because it is messing up reading email and doing surveys that I didn't have this problem with before using versions 4 or 5.
In my "Windows\Fonts" folder, I have 375 files over 41 MB so I don't know what to do. I'm about ready to throw the computer out the window being I can't respond properly to an email or do surveys, if I can't read the letters.
4.0.1 was was a clean install after I had to reformat a couple weeks ago but 5.0 was an update that I just did tonight.
I thank everyone in advance.
Susan

Thanks one again. I know you helped me the last to. I do have the Deja Vu font set in my folder. I downloaded and the last time. So I don't know if there is supposed to be more or not, but those were installed with Windows-XP after my reformat.
This is really driving me nuts. as I've done several re-formats on my computer and several friends computers and even upgraded hardware so I am not necessarily a software or programming expert, I am somewhat advanced when it comes to computers in general and can usually diagnose the problem but these font's are the problem and they never were before.
I did see in another forum that if you had a Dell Computer and did the Microsoft update for the onboard video card driver that it could be the culprit, but I have that disabled being I have a much better graphics card so the updates from Microsoft for the onboard video weren't installed.
It' a Dell Dimension 3000 with an Intel(R) 82865G Graphics Controller so I don't believe it is the culprit being it is disabled. The actual video card that I am using is a PCI Nvidia GeForce 9400 GT with 1 GB Memory. And I didn't have any problem before.
I appreciate the help. But still can't get things to work. Live Help Chat doesn't open for another two hours so maybe they can do "Remote Access" or something and can check setting and help me. But if you come up with other suggestions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.
Susan
