Upgrade Tray Loading From 8.5 To 9.2.2

One of my friends has an imac from a while ago...it is a tray loading one...very interesting. I have never seen a tray loading up close before...they have laptop style CD ROMs!!!! =] =]
I turned it on and it has Mac OS 8.5 on it.
How do I upgrade to 9.2.2??????
I have the install cd and I could install it like that...
I also am thinking about taking the hard drive out, putting it in external enclosure, and copying and pasting 9.2.2 onto the hard drive and putting the hard drive back.
How do I open a tray loading imac?????????

How do I upgrade to 9.2.2??????
I have the install cd and I could install it like that...
Boot from the cd to install.
Power on machine. Press button in from of cd drive. Place cd in drive. Power off machine.
You hold down the c key then power on your machine. Should boot up.
Whatever version of 9.x you have can be upgraded to 9.2.2 by downloading & installing updates from apple.

I also am thinking about taking the hard drive out, putting it in external enclosure, and copying and pasting 9.2.2 onto the hard drive and putting the hard drive back.
Why all the complexity?
You will need to 'bless' os.
How do I open a tray loading imac?????????
You should verify that you have the latest firmware, before installing new software. See the system profiler for details. What firmware do you need?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
You may run Mac OS 10.3 on this machine. Mac OS X takes about 4gig. You can trim it down to 3gig with a custom install.
This will require a minimum of 128meg of ram. More is better. I'd suggest 256. You may put 512meg of ram in this machine. There are two memory slots. One must be Low Profile memory. Be sure you can return your memory cards. iMac memory cards are finicky.

All the tray loading iMac g3's, models a-d, are constructed the same.
While this article deals with adding memory, you should see the pram battery on the logic board when you get to step 17.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=43012
You should skip steps 17 to 20. Look for the pram battery instead.

Here is a good disassembly page:

The second article in this series has information on replacing the battery:

How To Upgrade Your iMac
http://www.djonmac.com/
The tray loading iMac requires the boot partition to be within 8gig. Since there are hidden partitions before the first visible partition, people recommend that you make the first visible partition 7.5 gig to 7.9gig. The machines support upto a 128gig Parallel ATA drive.
You should be able to use Unix symbolic links to 'move' some directory like /Users to the second visible partition.

Safari won't load some images (after upgrade to Mavericks from Lion)

Hi,
I've noticed that since I upgraded my OS from Lion to Mavericks, Safari won't load all images on certain websites.
I've tried loading the same pages on my daughter's MacBookPro (she upgraded from Mountain Lion to Mavericks) and everything works just fine.
We cross checked the Safari preferences and everything is identical.
Below are two pictures, the first one taken from my computer, the second one from my daughter's. As you can see, in the first photo the image won't display, while it's been perfectly loaded in the second photo.
Here's the website: http://blog.alice.tv/berengario/2013/11/16/trasmissione-su-arturo-tv/
I've tried opening the same page on Firefox, and all images are perfectly displayed.
Could you please help me?
Thank you for your support!
Kind regards,
Leo

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when I try to load the Mac Os x update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it?

I have an Intel Desktop iMac and I am upgrading from Tiger to Snow Leopard. I keep getting an error when it tries to load the Mac OS X update combined. It says that it was corrupted during download. Have try loading from Apple website Mac OS X V10.6.7 upgrade combined but it still won't do it? Any other suggestions. The printer is not working either - I am not sure if they are connected. Everything else is fine.

Please excuse, but I have to ask an obvious question: Did you already update using the Snow Leopard Retail install DVD? (You must do this first; 10.6.7 is just an update if you already have 10.6.) Are you, then, trying to update from whatever version was on the install DVD to 10.6.7?
Otherwise, I'd keep trying. The 10.6.7 Combo is a huge update.

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

I have music loaded from cd's. They were intact after each sync. After a iTune upgrade, I lost all the music at sync. Can I restore them from old backup in iCloud ?

Unless you'd signed up to iTunes Match then they won't be in the Cloud, only music purchased from iTunes (if you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded) will be there. Have you not still got it on your computer and/or on a backup which you can use to sync it back to the iPad ?

Upgrading a tray load iMac hard drive

I forgot thr solution to this but if some one could help me remember. I put a 40gb harddrive into a tray load purple g3 333mhz. When I try and install 10.3 it tells me I cant because my drive is not with in the first 8gb, What do I do to fix that?

While booted from the OS X installer CD, select "Utilities" from the drop-down menu. Run "Disk Utility" and it will list the hard drive. Select it and choose to erase it and partition it into (2) Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volumes. Make the first partition about 7.8-7.9 GBs, and use the remaining unused portion of the drive for the second partition. If you also want to install and boot from OS 9, be sure to select the "Mac OS 9 Drivers Installed" option.

Changing swap file location on tray-loader iMacs

This is not a question, but something I discovered that makes my old tray-loader iMac (the oldest iMac models) run Mac OS X much better.
As you may know, these oldest iMacs have an 8GB size limit on the boot volume. The largest stock drive on these iMacs was 6GB. That means if your upgraded hard drive is larger than 8GB, it must be partition so that the first partition is under 8GB (7.78GB on my iMac), and it must be the boot partition where the OS is installed (whether it's Mac OS X or 9).
In my case, I have a roomy 120GB hard drive (I believe the useable limit on these iMacs is 128GB). The first partition is just under 8GB, the second partition is the rest of the space, about 104GB. I have used every trick out there to move files (such as the iTunes music folder and most of my user/documents files) off to the second partition, to make free space on the boot partition as large as possible. So I have 3.5GB free on my 8GB boot partition. This is about 40% of the volume's total space so it seems pretty good, until you realize that most recent Macs have much more than the TOTAL 8GB I have, as free space on the boot volume. Mac OS X was just not designed to work well with small boot volumes...
Mac OS X uses the free space on the boot volume for its virtual memory "swap file." Considering these old iMacs max out at 512MB of RAM, virtual memory is being used quite a bit. But since space on the boot volume is very limited, low RAM and lack of free space can lead to performance issues. Here's what I observed. When I initially started up my iMac, I had about 3.5GB of free space. Over time, as I used more and more apps, that free space would diminish until I had only about 600MB remaining (as reported by a Finder window). At the same time, I noticed performance getting bogged down and more "chugging" sounds coming from the hard-working hard drive.
I've known about changing location of the swap file, but never tried it until recently. During the Mac OS X boot process, the Mac sets the location of the swap file. By default, the swap file resides on the boot volume (I believe most other Unix-based systems use a dedicated "swap partition" for the swap file). Since most recent Macs have large drives set up as one partition (and there is plenty of free space), and since many users have upgraded their RAM (and virtual memory is not as critical), swap file location is usually not an issue, and there is certainly no need to change the swap file location. However, on my iMac with an 8GB limit on the boot volume and 512MB of RAM, it made a noticeable difference.
I found one set of procedures on the web that was much better than the others I found for changing the location of the swap file.
http://www.math.columbia.edu/~bayer/OSX/swapfile/
On this page, there are two choices for Panther users. I used the one that works for both Panther and Tiger, because it appeared to me to be more straightforward. The author intentionally keeps the instructions somewhat technical to discourage users who are not technically inclined. I don't consider myself to be too "geeky," but I can follow instructions and type a few commands in Terminal.
After I changed the swap file location to a large mostly empty volume, I noticed much better performance when I have many large apps open at the same time. Performance no longer degrades over time, and the free space on my boot volume remains a constant 3.6GB.
The reason for this post is to share this information. Some users of these old iMacs may be noticing the same issues I had. This is a possible solution. However, if everything is OK with your set up, there is no reason to change the swap file location. If you try it, be sure to take the usual data backup precautions.
If anyone else has experience with changing swap file location, please post your comments here.

Tray loader connection

Bought a refurbished iMac a couple of years ago and it's worked fine. Went to install a memory upgrade and removing the cover, found there was a cable not connected (the one from the CD ROM down to the speaker unit. Looking closer, found it impossible for the connection to be made as the cable has a small male round pin connector with a shield around the pins (like a PC keyboard connection) and the CD unit has the corresponding female holes but in a completely flat surface with no insertion slot for the male connection shield. Anyone recognise this configuration and know of a solution?

Do you have a picture of the odd configuration? I have two tray-loading iMacs and have never seen that while upgrading them.

I upgraded MacbookPro 2009 from 10.6.8 to Yosemite 2 weeks ago. My iphoto is now a nightmare. i went to our local apple retailer but they could not help either. Perhaps someone can help. Beforehand the OS upgrade I made a backup copy of my Iphoto library onto an external hard drive. Lets call it BU with 50GB. I also deleted half of my photos from the default library on my laptop, lets call it DE, now with about 20GB, to gain space. I then upgraded to Yosemite.
I have also installed since a long time Iphoto Library Manager 3.8.6. (this may be the cause of the problem as it was not upgraded and perhaps thus not compatible with iphoto 9.6 which I have now after the upgrade to Yosemite) It all worked fine before the upgrade, switching in iphoto between the two libraries DE and BU.
It also worked fine after the upgrade for a few days. At one stage Iphoto asked me to upgrade the iphoto version as it otherwise could not read the photos when I tried to load the BU library into iphoto. I did click yes to upgrade iphoto. As a result I became a brand new but totally empty library, no photos.
BU was still on the external disc, however the "Master" file was empty. We fortunately discovered all photos were in another file called Old Master, also under BU. We made another copy of the Old Master file onto the external disc. Lucky we did, because shortly afterwards we could not open anymore the BU file thus had no access to anything in there. Now I have 17000 photos in a file called Old Master on my external disc and another smaller library DE on my laptop. When I tried to import the photos from Old Master into a new iphoto library it was very messy. All events dates were mixed up, many photos were imported twice. I have no idea whether all my 17000 photos have been imported.
Can anyone suggest what is the most time efficient way? How do I best import my 17000 into a new library ensuring I don't loose any in the process. I do not wish sorting through 17000 photos for a week or so. Shall i also get a new iphoto library version now? Thank you for anything that may work.

Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think?

Sunday, I downloaded iTunes app on to my new PC. Songs purchased over the years were present but all of the albums I loaded from CD's are not present. How do I resore my iTunes account with all of my albums, playlists, etc.?

Error is data loading from 3rd party source system with DBCONNECT

Hi,
We have just finished an upgrade of SAP BW 3.10 to SAP NW 7.0 EHP1.
After the upgrade, we are facing a problem with data loads from a third party Oracle source system using DBConnect.
The connection is working OK and we can see the tables in the source system. But we cannot load the data.
The error in the monitor is as follows:
'Error message from the source system
Diagnosis
An error occurred in the source system.
System Response

There will be three things to get the errors like this
1.RFC CONNECTION FAILED
2.CHECK THE SOURCE SYSTEM
3.CHECK IT OUT WITH Oracle Consultants WEATHER THEY ARE FILLING UP THE LOADS.TELL THEM TO STOP
4.CHECK I DOC PROCESSING
5.FINALLY MEMORY ISSUES.
6.CATCH THE DATA SOURCE FIRST CHANGE IT AND THEN ACTIVATE AND RUN THE LOAD
7.LAST IS MEMORY ISSUE.
and also Check the RFC connection in SM59 If it is ok then
check the SAP note : 692195 for authorization

The version (7.1.10226.0) is that of SCOM 2012 R2 (as I noted before, there was no rollback.) Everything seems to be functioning fine (Console, Web Console, Reporting Services.)
Is there a way to get it to re-run only the Final Configuration steps (which will probably fail again as the EULA file does not exist where it expects it)? I am not sure if there were supposed to be any further
configuration steps that did not get completed, so i dont know how stable SCOM is now. Should I re-run the R2 installer? Or is it OK as is? The only info online about a SCOM Install where the final configuration failed to install dealt with
an error upgrading the SCOM Console, which is not relevant to my situation. This is my test SCOM environment, running on a VM. I could revert to the pre-upgrade snapshot and see if another upgrade attempt completes successfully, but if that does
work I am concerned that something like this may happen in my prod environment, which is not running on a VM, so has no ability to revert to a snapshot.

ITunes won't recognize IPHONE after new computer loaded from TM...

Hey all:
I had an unfortunate meltdown of my reliable 5 year old macbook and the logic board fried; luckily I was able to save the HD and when I bought my new macbook pro (wow, what an upgrade) and loaded it from the drive via 'transfer' on initialization, my ITUNES could no longer recognize either my IPHONE or my IPAD; I can still see the backups in the preference pane, but have been unable to have ITUNES acknowledge their presence. Any idea? Thanks
Ger

Additional details. I plugged in my phone, it was recognized and syncing as expected, but was stuck. After about 30 minutes I stopped the sych. That is when my problems occurred a few days ago. I have rebooted, re-installed, followed the directions on apple support - including the 6 step uninstall and the stuff following msconfig.

Imac g3 333mhz tray loader & os 9 install on new hard drive?

puting new (used) 20gb hardive in imac g3, 333mhz tray loader (rev d i think), because the imac came (Ebay) with os 8.6 password protected by At Ease ("a notoriously sticky program to get rid of," so i've heard). the questions are: 1) once i get the hd with nothing on it into the imac; can i use an os 9.whatever install cd to FORMAT AND PARTITION the new drive? and 2) if i can, must this cd be a "retail" cd, or can i purchase one of those gray install cds that say imac on the disk? and finally 3)if all goes well and after updating firmware (is there a problem here?) i'm going to install 10.3.

Hi, iMacQ.
1) Yes.
2) Yes, you'll need either a retail CD or the model-specific CD that was shipped with your exact iMac model. With so many different iMac models, it would be extremely hard to determine which model-specific (gray) CD was the right one to buy, and I can't recommend trying to do so.
3) A retail OS 9 CD will contain the firmware updater you need. A model-specific (gray) CD will contain only the firmware updater needed by the model it was designed for, and that may not be yours.
The firmware updater you may need is also available here, but quite apart from the firmware issue, a gray CD may lack OS components that your iMac needs, and include others that it can't use.
Summary: buy only a retail CD.

I just bought my iMac G3 and I was excited and ready to install Mac OS X 10.3, unfortunatley my Mac is having problems selecting it as a start up disc. I really want this to work. Can anyone help me? Mine is a tray loader.

I went to school this morning and picked up the Mac OS X 10.3 software from my advisor, I was super excited to get out of my boring Mac OS 8.6. My Mac is a tray loader. When I put the disc in the tray, it has no problem reading it, but when I go to the file to install and I press the restart button, my Start Up disc couldn't make Mac OS X 10.3 my start up disc. And when I tried using the Start Up disc on the file, it would restart, but when my screen turns back on, it flashes a question mark with a folder behind it and a Macintosh symbol and eventually begins running OS 8.6 again. Please help me!

There are several things...
There is a firmware update that is needed for Mac OS X. Fortunately, you can still boot into the "classic" Mac OS, because you need to be able to do so to install the firmware update, if it has not been already.

The Mac OS X installation disc needs to be a retail disc, meaning a disc that was sold separately in a box for use with any supported Mac. For Panther (10.3), I recall that it was black with a big metallic X, and it comes on three CDROMs. If it's a gray disc that came with another Mac model, it probably will not work.
RAM - Your iMac needs to have a minimum of 128mb of RAM for Panther. At least 256mb (or more) would be highly recommended. 512mb is the max.
Hard drive - The largest stock hard drive in tray-loader iMac G3 was 6GB, which is not very large for Mac OS X. The installation of Panther will take up about half that space. This does not prevent booting the installation disc. It's just a consideration for doing the installation itself.
For a tray-loader iMac, you may want to go with Mac OS 9 instead (up to version 9.2.2). Panther is a good version of Mac OS X, but there is not that much software that works with it. On the other hand, Mac OS 9.x was the latest and greatest version of the Mac's OS for a LONG time, so there is a large library of old but useful programs. Some are still being maintained today, such as

Mac OS X on a tray-loader iMac G3 will feel quite sluggish. Mac OS 9 will feel snappy, and require much less RAM and hard drive space.

GetDescriptions() of an object loaded from local variable 'itemDeploymentResult'

Hi
We are urgrading our SAP MII ( purely Java ) systems from 7.31 Sp5 to 7.40 and we got stuck at Configuration phase. We are getting the following error during Queue validation.
Checking of deployment queue completed with error. java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.sap.sdt.j2ee.tools.deploymentmgr.DeploymentManagerItemResultIF.getDescriptions() of an object loaded from local

I looked in the trace files under SUM/sdt/trc directory and found the following information.

We have 26 GB left on our Drive and have also upgraded JSPM to 7.31 Sp8. We are using SUM10SP05_9.
Appreciate your quick help

Hi Amarnath,
Where exactly you are getting this error?
If you are getting at JMS Sender communication channel, try to stop and start the JMS communication channel and see the status, also use XPI Inspector to get the exact error log.
for reference follow below blogs:
