Wallstreet won't Upgrade or Downgrade

I am running OS 10.1.5 on a Wallstreet with 384 MB of ram. I have been unable to upgrade to 10.2 because when I try to install it after a while the install stops and the screen becomes full of stripes. I have been told to go back to OS 9 to do the upgrade but that (and OS 8) was erased during one of my many upgrade attempts during the past year. I have tried booting from both the OS 8 and OS 9 CD's but they doesn't work. The computer keeps opening in 10.1! So now I am stuck at OS 10.1.5..I can't upgrade to 10.2 or downgrade to classic! Any advice?

Angela,
a brody is a stickler for factory specs and that's fine, but I disagree with him on several points. I don't know which "gray" 10.2 CD you have, but OWC sells the eMac 10.2 DVD and says this:
"Although these OS X discs are labeled for a specific Apple model, the OS X install is complete and fully universal. No different than the OS X installation provided by a retail box disc."
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/6914337A/
I would not hesitate to buy one of their CDs or DVDs if they list it as supported on my computer. They are an excellent company and do not make frivolous claims. Unfortunately, the eMac disk is a DVD, not CD.
And yes, XPostFacto is a hack, but that does not mean it is not a good utility. I am sure there are many thousands of Wallstreet and Lombard users running unsupported versions of OSX and are quite happy with getting these old 'books to run current software and that includes me.
You may wish to try this:
1. Download XPostFacto here:
http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/
2. Install XPostFacto onto your HD that apparently contains only OS 9.1.
3. Launch XPostFacto and just follow the instructions:
http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/Framework.cfm?page=XPostFacto3.ht ml#enough
Even though XPostFacto is not required for the installation of 10.2, give it a try. Many who have had trouble installing 10.2 on the Wallstreet have had success with this approach.
Assuming you do not have a hardware problem (marginal RAM or CPU or Video RAM, etc.), this may be helpful. I believe once you use XPostFacto to install OSX, you must use XPostFacto's startup disk control panel to switch between 9.1 and 10.2; at least on my Wallstreet, the 9.x and 10.x startup disk control panels cause a freeze.

ITunes won't upgrade to10.5. Error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor". I need help.

iTunes won't upgrade to10.5. I'm on 10.1.17.
When installing 10.5 it terminates with an error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor".
It does not provide an error code or details/description to further troubleshoot. As a result I can't upgrade my Apple devices to leverage the cloud.
Any smarts out there who could help?
Using PC Win-7 w/IE 7 (should that matter)
Thanks much

I know there's a million threads like this, but I thought I'd record my experience. I, too, was having the original poster's error when I tried to update iTunes on Windows XP. I think I was stuck on 10.
I solved it by un-installing iTunes and every other Apple app. I discovered that Apple Software Update would not un-install as its MSI file could not be found. I used the "Windows Install Cleanup" tool from Microsoft to remove Apple Software Update from the list of installed programs. Google "kb290301" for a Microsoft page that includes a download link for it. After that, I was able to install a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5.2.
I'm not sure why this app's folder and MSI were missing from my computer. I had once used Laplink PC Mover to move everything from my old computer to this one, and perhaps it missed a bit.

I have no idea why this has happend ive been using the phone for 2years bought it on pay as you go and now all of a sudden its stating the above error i have never come across this problem before and currently im using 3GS and Iphone 4S

Sounds like it's been blacklisted.
Even if it hasn't, downgrading voids any warranty and forfeits all rights to support. You hacked your phone. You can't get help here.

It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
Do this first...

Display driver won't upgrade

My original display drivers is giving me issues. When I try to update the driver, it won't upgrade. Please help! Thanks!

You are welcome. Thank you for the additional information.
The first thing that you should do is, uninstall the current driver. You can do this by going into the Control Panel / Device Manager / Display adater. Right click on your video card and select "Uninstall". Once the driver is uninstalled, you can install the latest driver. Is this the driver that you are attempting to install? You can't use retail drivers from AMD/ATI with HP OEM video cards.

I bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

How did you "move everything" over?
Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

Help!! Itunes won't let me downgrade on my 2g ipod touch. Can anyone help?

I just got a macally microphone for the ipod touch and I found out that it's not compatible with the 3.1.3 firmware. So I have to downgrade to the 3.0 Firmware in order for the mic to work. But that's the problem, it won't let me downgrade at all! I tried holding in shift, then pressing restore. That didn't work. Every time I try to downgrade it says "The ipod could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (20)" Does anyone know how to fix this?

If you actually have the 3.0 FW on your computer, you may be able to downgrade by first putting your Touch into "DFU Mode", then use the Shift-Restore technique to select the 3.0 OS file. I won't go into the DFU Mode instructions here, plenty of explanations around here and the web in general. Note that this is not a practice supported by Apple.

Itunes won't upgrade IOS on device

Using ITunes 10.2, and Mac OS X ver 10.6.7. I'm trying to update Iphone 4 and IPad to IOS 4.3.3 and ITunes won't upgrade the device. It download the upgrade, backs up the device, but then says, I don't have the authorization to update the device. Sometimes if I log on as a test user, with admin rights it will allow the change, but then it wipes all the information and files on the device too.
The apple's primary account, with ITunes is what I use to sync and download new apps and stuff, it should also be able to update the IOS, any ideas why it's not letting me?

Then I tried to update itunes and nothing happened. It wouldn't even start to upgrade.
With that one, try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Does that go through any better for you?

I Photo Libraries on ext HD won't upgrade, permissions 'cannot be repaired'

I've copied several I Photo Libraries to external HD over the years. Upgraded to Lion, now some libraries won't upgrade and permissions 'cannot be repaired' how do I access these photos/videos?

We need to know the format. Is it a NAS? FAT or NTSC? Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? Any but the last of these will cause you issues.

Upgrading and Downgrading my Broadband....Help Nee...

Hi,
I am currently on Option 1, and keep going over my limit and getting charge per GB. However, when I ask to upgrade to Option 2 or 3 I am told that I am automatically tied into another 12 months contract, is this right? Each sales person you speak to give you conflicting information.
One guy told me that I would not tied in, only a minimum 3 months would apply?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

That's correct upgrade or downgrade, you start a new contract.
I tried to get out of this so I emailed Ian Livingstone, no luck I was phoned from Newcastle and they confirmed this, that was 7 Months ago. Could have changed though!! but don't hold your breath.

How do I fix my iPad if it won't upgrade to iOS 5? I have iTunes on here and every thing else I need what do I do?

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.
