Upgrading to Mac OS 10.4.X from Mac OS 10.3.9

Hi,
I just finally gave in and ordered my Mac OS 10.4 full retail install (CD-ROM) for my eMac USB 2.0.
First, this is an odd upgrade set containing Mac OS 10.4, and it's on CDs not DVDs?
Isn't this quite odd or what? Maybe it was a odd-lot made by Apple? Or was it a special CD-ROM package for CD based educational eMacs?
Anyway, I just wanted to get some replies on this so I know what is what.
It's supposed to be for any eMac. I just wanted a full install for the added benefits of being up-to-date with browsers and archive and install without having
to go through a odd process of fully installing Panther again with only upgrade install of Tiger.
Here's the link:

For now I'll be cleaning house and getting my eMac ready.
Thanks for any replies
Cheers!

eww,
The term "Clean install" and "Erase and install" appear to be used interchangeably quite a bit on these boards.
It appears people are just using the term for it's definition and it's quite clear
what they mean.
http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=c177&search=Go&q=clean+install
I don't mean to drag this on, but there's a lot of terms that people 'just know' exactly what you're talking about and there's no confusion going on.
Not always do people have to check Mac Help for every thing they want to know about Mac OS X and using it, they just know what you're talking about.
I think what I'm getting at here is, "Clean install" implies starting out new, by performing an erase and install - starting out fresh with a new installation
of Mac OS X.
However, I agree very much that "Erase and install" is the proper term to use and
in the future that's the term I'll use to avoid any confusion.
Anyhoo...
Cheers and thank you!

Can i upgrade to mac os x 10.8 from mac ox 10.6.8

can i upgrade to mac os x 10.8 from mac os x 10.6.8?

OS X 10.8 is not released yet so no one knows what the system requirements will be.
What model MacBook Pro do you have? To find out go to  > About this Mac, and click More Info... The model will appear under "hardware profile".
It is highly likely recent MacBook Pro models will be able to run OS X 10.8 just fine.
However, since the very early ones cannot run Lion, it is doubtful they will be able to run Mountain Lion. So the answer depends upon which model you have.

Can Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?

Can the Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
It is needed to run applications that require Rosetta (Eudora e-mail, Palm Desktop PDA-PIM, Canvas drawing from ACDsee, etc). Thanks

Can the Mac mini October 2012 boot from Mac OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard)?
No. Your best option by far is to find updates or replacements for that long-obsolete software. In the long run, you'll have no other choice. As a last resort, you could do this:
Installing Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels
The instructions are slightly out of date. That's not a recommendation and I haven't tried it myself.

Difficulties upgrading Bose Sound Link II bluetooth speak from Mac OS

Tried to upgrade the Bose SoundLink II bluetooth mobile speak firmware from Mac OS snow leporad. Nothing happens
1. I followed all instructions on Bose website up until pressing the AUX button for 10 seconds
2. Nothing happens. It just keeps blinking and stuck from there.

That is the most rediculous thing I learned about the Bose System.
They don't post what their version is.
They don't let you look inside the Bose to determine what version you have
The software doesn't say ANYTHING except so you have no idea if its working or not.
So you have NO idea if its working or not, latest version or not

Going back to Mac OS 10.8.4 from Mac OS 10.8.5

Hi everyone,
I have a Mac Pro that I purchased with Mac OS 10.6 (with DVD instal), and I purchased Mac OS 10.8 a year ago. A few weeks ago, I upgraded to Mac OS 10.8.5.
Because of a bug with Avid Media Composer, I absolutely have to go back to 10.8.4.
I made a backup with Time Machine, erased my disk (once a year, a clean install doesn't hurt) and... and what can I do now ? When I launch the install of Mac OS 10.8, it automatically installs 10.8.5.
I tried to install the combo 10.8.4.dmg, but the Mac says it won't install a previous version of 10.8.5.
I also tried to go back to 10.6.8 and launch the combo 10.8.4.dmg, but then the Mac says Mac OS 10.8 lacks.
If anyone has an idea, it could be such a great help... thank you !
Cécile

You must erase the drive, reinstall 10.6.8, then upgrade to Mountain Lion. However, you will end up with 10.8.5, again. 10.8.4 or earlier are not available any longer. If you did not save the 10.8.4 system on a backup or save the 10.8 installer application, then you cannot downgrade 10.8.5.

Upgrading to Mac OS 10.4.10 from Mac OS 10.3.9....

Hello all,
I finally broke down and purchased my first ipod and also an airport express with itunes. My bright idea was to play music from my ibook through the airport wirelessly to my stereo. Of course, on trying to set up both the ipod and the airport on the ibook I found out that they both require a minimum OS of 10.4.10
My questions - How hard is it to upgrade to this new operating system? How expensive is it? And what other surprises am I in store for?
Thanks for all your help.

I recently updated my iBook G4 1GHz and a Blue & White G3 updated with a G4 ZIF using a 10.4 upgrade DVD from FastMac for $79.95. These disks were used to upgrade Macs after the introduction of 10.4. As long as you have 10.3.9 installed, the disk works just fine. It took about 45 minutes to upgrade, plus another hour or so to download (via DSL) all of the updates using Software Update. (If you don't have high-speed internet, FastMac also makes a disk with all of these available for an extra $5.00.) After all this, you'll be running OS X 10.4.11.
The updates went smoothly, and have been very stable so far. My only issue was that after the final .11 update, my FireWire drive wouldn't mount to the desktop. This was solved by removing the battery for at least 30 minutes, then reinstalling it and rebooting. Voila!
Other online Mac stores (Other World Computing, MegaMacs, etc.) sell full installs of 10.4 for anywhere between $99-129, but this worked for me. YMMV.
Best of luck!

Power Mac 7600 doesn't start from Mac OS 9.1 CD

I'm trying to boot from a Mac OS 9.1 CD on a Power Mac 7600 I'm trying to bring back to life
but it appears the blinking question mark. I've tried using the "C" command but it simply doesn't boot.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help

One of my favorite pre-G3 Macs! I have one that runs great.
---First, has anyone pulled/replaced/moved RAM modules? My experiences with several 7600's at work back in the 1990s was that the RAM needed to be matched in order in the slots and by size regardless of what the specs and several third-party tech reviews say.
There are eight RAM slots in two groups (of three and five slots) separated by an offset slot for a cache module You should see ID codes on the logic board by each slot: A1, A2, A3, A4; and B1, B2, B3, and B4. You want to load the slots in this order: A1, B1, A2, B2, etc, and match the module size so modules of the same size are paired. My 7600 has this pattern:
A1: 128MB        B1: 128MB
A2: 32MB          B2: 32MB
A3: 16MB          B3: 16MB
A4: 16MB          B3: 16MB
So, if modules don't match, match them and try again
Pairing RAM in this model gives a significant performance boost; the data path goes from 64-bit to 128-bit.
---Is the OS9 disk a full retail install disk or a gray one that came with a newer Mac? That could affect startup, Some disks for much newer Macs may not start a pre-G3 Mac.
---If the commuter has been off wall power for a long time the PRAM battery is likely deader than Yorick. That could affect startup from the hard drive but should not be at play when starting from a CD.
---Another issue that affects old computers that have been stored and moved around is loose cards. Make sure all card and modules are fully seated, especially the processor card.
Anyway, those are some things to consider. Keep us posted!

ICal appts syncing from Mac to iPhone, but not from Mac to iPad.

Events ARE syncing from iPad to Mac, iPad to iPhone and iPhone to iPad.
All devices are on most updated OS and are syncing through iCloud.

Photoshop CS6 can't save to server after upgrading to Mac OS Yosemite Server from Mac Lion Server

We recently upgraded our server from a Mac Pro 2008 with OS X Lion Server to a Mac Mini 2014 with LaCie 20TB 5Big Thunderbolt 2 RAID drive. Everything is working fine with the exception of Photoshop. It does it intermittently but once it happens it will continue to do so. We get message like "Can't save to disk because of disk error" and "Can't save file because of program error" . Sometime we are able to do a "save as" and save over it. Most of the time we have to "save as" with a different file name and then rename and recopy the file. We have check permission on all the file as well as the server HD has ignore ownership checked. Again only three things changed. 1) Sever hardware change from Mac Pro to Mac Mini. 2) Server software upgraded from 10.7 Lion to 10.10 Yosemite(both have the latest update). 3) Drive when from internal on Mac Pro to External Thunderbolt 2 LaCie drive. We have no problem with Illustrator or Indesign. Only Photoshop. Anyone with any suggestion is greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately you seem to be using Photoshop in a way that Adobe discourages, so you may not be getting a lot of helpful advice.

Upgrade from Mac OS 10.6.8 to the latest

I have iMac with Mac OS 10.6.8 and when trying to install Adobe Photoshop I'm told that I have to upgrade to 10.7. How to do this and is it OK regarding all other applications I already have installed on my computer?

Note that any PPC application you might be running in Rosetta will NOT work on later versions of OS X.
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:

Missing mailboxes: upgraded from Mac OS 10.6.2 to 10.8.4

hi, I upgraded from Mac OS 10.6.2 to 10.8.4 and mailboxes are missing. I tried using IMPORT - it does not see those folders which i could easily see using using 10.6.2. Now, the /library/mail folder is not visible when i use FINDER.
Somebody told me if i hold the OPTION key when using the GO-TO it will see files that have been made invisible - but this does not work on my mac.
can anybody help?
many thanks
david

Holding option doesn't show invisible files.
Holding Option allows access to the Library from the Go menu in Finder.
Always back up, first.
Check to make sure the mailboxes still exist in the user/Library/Mail/V2/Mailboxes folder.
If so, you might try removing the Envelope Index from the V2/MailData folder, then start Mail. That will cause it to reindex everything.

Upgrading to Snow Leopard
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
    OS X Mavericks/Yosemite- System Requirements
    Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
         1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
