Want to keep OS 9.2, upgrade to 10.4 and Dual-Boot

I have a lime iMac with OS 9.2 installed. I have a Tiger install DVD. I booted from the CD and it only allows me the Erase and Install Option or the Archive and Install. It states in the Archive and Install option that I will not be able to boot from the old system folder.
I need to dual-boot to use the Audio software still on the iMac. I need Tiger for other applications. How do I do this? I thought it was possible to have both installed and working. I am cool with holding option on boot or using the Startup Disk in System Preferences, but I want to make sure Tiger won't destroy my OS 9 bootability (if that's a word).
Any help would be wonderful! Thank you.

So, I looked. It does have HFS+. I also found that someone install 10.0.3 on this machine way back when. I can boot between both now. My question, will Tiger install over 10.0.3 and keep the dual-boot functionality of so I can go between 10.4 and 9. My guess it will. Any know for sure?

    The music sync is how you got the music from the computer to the ipod in the first place.
    You cannot sync it from the ipod to the computer as I explained in the previous post, unless it is itunes purchased music.

  • Upgrading computer to Vista and Dual Core

    I am planning to upgrade my computer to a dual core with Vista Home premium. This will entail a new hard drive with Vista and the reinstallation of all software. If I start to use LR now how do I save my library and images with related keywords so that they are useful when I re install LR
    Thanks
    Roger Lieberman

    You'll be just fine, I have a dual boot setup (XP and Vista), and use the same library from both environments. Just remember that you have to use the same drive letter(s) for your image directories in both environments, unless you switch to using Vista permanently (in which case you can "reconnect" your image files, if the drive letters change)

  • Have a Friends and Family plan. I have unlimited data and want to keep it. Questions on what I can and can not do with account changes.

    Ok,
    So I am on Friends and Family 2000minutes and unlimited Text.
    4 phones.
    My phone has Unlimited Data and Hotspot
    Other 3 do not have any data.
    I am curious what I can do and can't do that will keep keep the plan as is and not force things to share everything.
    I am allowed to have 5 phones under this plan. I am curious about adding and deleting phones.
    I did try and add a 5th phone. When I tried to activate a 5th phone online it would not let me do it. Tried to get me to change plans.
    Here are a few scenarios that I see coming up in the future.
    I would like to add a 5th phone. My father has an account and I would like to roll him into my plan instead of his own account. I have already done this once before many years ago with no problem with 2 of the lines that I currently have. Is this possible or is that enough to trigger the move share everything scenario.
    Second. how about removing a line from my plan?
    One of my numbers is for an 18YO that wants to be more independent and have their own account. Can I down the road either transfer that line and number to its own account which would be share everything (I do understand that). Or can I delete that line from the account without triggering the share everything scenario?
    Also it seems when I look online I can change data plans currently three phones are on data block. Can I actually change them to a data plan within the Friends and family or is the Share everything scenario triggered. What about if I change them to a smart phone from their basic/feature phone. I know I can't get unlimited data but can I still get them on my friends and family tiered data plan?
    What is up.
    Thank You

    yes to everything; you can add a line (up to 5 total for Family Share), drop a line, upgrade a basic line to a smartphone (and then add a tiered data plan) and stay on your current calling plan ... it may be easier done in your local Corporate Verizon store, though ... just be sure they don't try to switch you to Share Everything if that's not what you want

  • Hi. I currently have two iPad's and two iPhones and one Apple ID, I want to keep the current Apple ID on one iPad and one phone and set up another Apple ID for the second iPad and iPhone, is this possible?

    Hi. I currently have both my iPhone's and iPad's on one Apple ID and I was hoping to use one iPhone and one iPad with another Apple ID, does anyone know if this is possible and how I would do it.
    Thanks TMM39

    You should be able to. The only hiccup will be that any apps that you have purchased with the older ID you will have to repurchase with the newer ID to be able to keep using them.
    Though of course this actually depends on how you plan to use the IDs. For example, I had an Apple ID through iTunes a few years before I opened a .Mac/MobileMe account (what iCloud is now in case you are new to Apple). Thus, my iPhone and iPad actually have two IDs on them, one for iTunes/App Store, and one for anything associated with iCloud. I've never really had any problems assoctiated with having two IDs on one device. Usually just an extra step when I get a new device or have to restore either of them for some reason. Though I understand that this is probably not what you plan on doing, I thought I would use it as an example of what the IDs are really associted with on the devices.

  • I wanted to keep my locked screen display with the time and date from turning off is that possible

    So I enjoy my locked screen display with my chosen picture because it has the time displayed nice and big and its a cool nightlight but the locked screen display/wallpaper/time with date always goes black after 13ish seconds of locking it is there no way to let the locked screen stay on while charging? because it is awesome if it could stay on as a nightlight also so i dont have to press the lock button to see what time because the normal display is ugly am I just being super picky or am I not the only one who agrees or maybe it does exist im just stupid please respond when you can also thanks for reading much appreciated.

    Again, there is NO WAY to do what you asked: display the time constantly.
    I have a clock app that displays the time constantly on my iPad. I use it as a bedside clock. Many clock apps have the ability to disable autolock just within that app. Whether there is one that lets you pick your own background, I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if there were, based on the number of clock apps out there. While what I'm suggestion is not precisely what the OP asked (display the system lock screen), it seems it might be a possible workaround.

  • Yosemite upgrade issue - iMac freeze and cannot boot again

    Dear all,
    Two days ago I updated my iMac 27" (mid 2011) from OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion to 10.10 Yosemite.
    Clean installation was done via USB, 3 user created one admin and 2 standard users (all with the option increase contrast option on). The following software installed:
    Adobe Lightroom 5.7
    Datacolor Spyder4Elite 4.5.8 (monitor calibration)
    Microsoft Office 2011
    PlayOnMac 4.2.5
    iMovie 2.1.1
    VLC 2.1.5
    Google Chrome
    After one day I had the first strange reboot, but than it seemed working fine.
    Today while using it, something strange happened: the image on the screen "shifted" 5cm to the left, meaning that the 5cm on the left of the screen were moved to the right and than everything freezed. With a power off I rebooted.
    Thinking the issue was related to the screen I uninstalled and removed Spyder4Elite.
    I rebooted and it was working fine.
    After a while, the screen went almost completely blank, I could see the very top first 3/4 pixels and recognize the top bar. Nothing. After a while I forced a reboot.
    I tried to reboot, but the same appears. I turned it off for a bit.
    Turinig it on again the following happened:
    Boot screen
    White screen flickering black
    Black screen
    White screen
    Reboot
    White screen stating the the computer restarted after an error
    Boot screen with pink vertical lines (see image below)
    White screen
    Black screen
    Reboot
    Start again at #7
    Image for #7:
    Image for #8:
    I then turned everything off and disconnected the plug as well. After turning on again now everything starts directly at point #7 into an infinite loop.
    I tried to start and hold "D" key for the diagnostic tools. Nothing happens boot and whitescreen.
    If I hold the option key I can select the boot options, choosing Recovery 10.10.1, white screen appears and than reboot again.
    Does anyone know what happened?
    Does anyone else had a similar issue?
    Is there a way to run diagnostic tool to check hardware failures?
    Is there a way to browse the HD content to save a file?
    Any other suggestions or ideas?
    The only thing I have, is the USB key with Yosemite on it.
    Fortunately on the external HD I still have the "Install OS X Mountain Lion.app": is there a way to create a bootable USB key of Mountain Lion using windows?
    Thank you for your kind support,

    Before deciding that you can't replace the drive yourself, visit the following site and find the step by step instructions for replacing the drive yourself:
    http://www.ifixit.com/
    If you see the instructions and feel that you can replace the drive yourself, you will save money that way. I'm not that familiar with modern iMacs, but I know it was very easy to replace the drive in my old iMac. It may not be as hard to do as you think. If you want extra help, you can post questions on the iMac forum.
    If you still don't feel like it is something you can do yourself, try looking for an AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) in your area and see what it might cost to have the AASP do the replacement. Often an AASP can do a repair for less money than Apple, and they will usually be willing to install a drive that you have obtained elsewhere for a reasonable price. From what I have read on these forums, many people have used AASP's to install bigger and faster drives on their machines.
    Definitely contact Western Digital about your drive. Usually WD drives come with a 3 year warranty, and if the drive fails before then, WD will replace the drive. KT has mentioned that the drive apparently is not under warranty, but might qualify for some sort of an upgrade. Before shopping elsewhere, check to see if this upgrade might entitle you to a very good deal on a replacement drive or something of that nature.
    Good luck!

  • Upgrade from Windows 7 pro to windows 8.1 pro I only get keep personal files only or nothing, I want to keep apps too

    when trying to upgrade from windows 7 SP1 to 8.1 pro from the DVD while being in windows I only get an option to keep personal files only or keep nothing.
    what do I have to do so I can do a upgrade and keep all the programs too ?
    thanks!
    Brandon Dillon

    I think there might be a way that when you install win 8.1 on a system with existing windows it will copy the user profile to a spare partition and then format the C and the then install windows 8
    If you do a rebuild on a Win 7 or Win 8 PC from a recovery partition, the software as standard now on the rebuild gives you the options of keeping your Data, even though it will wipe and reinstall everything as per factory settings.
    So this is normal and to be expected.
    To be honest I wouldn't even do this... I'd backup everything, install Win 8.1 from complete scratch, not keeping any data and then restore data as I needed it. I am apprehensive about it thinking it knows where all my data might be.... especially with how
    some programs like to store stuff.
    Of course this means everything to install again, but latest versions always good, a clean install

  • Evaluating a Q10... 12 days left to decide if I want to keep it...

    Hello,
    I am on day two of evaluating a Q10 (AT&T) and I have 12 days to decide if I want to keep it.  I'm on the fence.  I loved my 8330 Curve back in the day but as of today there isn't a mobile device I am found of.  I've been begrudingly using the Galaxy S3 for the last two years.
    This post is going to seem negative since I'm trying to find a way to deal with several issues and options I expected to have on the Q10.  I have little time to search and read although I plan on doing as much of that as I can.  What I'm looking for here are workarounds, planned changes or the best threads discussing an issue. 
    Before I get into the issues, I'll start with the postive.  The size is right.  The S3 is uncomfortable to me and easily slips without a case.  A few benchmark times: 
    Place call to saved contact: 
      Q10: 5 seconds
      S3: 13.5 seconds (using Dialer One)
    Lookup contact in Outlook Global Address List (ActiveSync): 
      Q10: 12 seconds  - and it's simple to save as a contact
      S3: 40 seconds - (using Touchdown) - this is just to lookup, good luck saving as a contact... I usually end up looking up multiple times
    Taking a photo of a cat and accidently emailing it to your boss through Outlook Exchange Activesync: 
      Q10: 15 seconds
      S3: 45 seconds (using Touchdown - did not send to boss in this case)
    That last benchmark brings me to my first issue: 
    1. The Q10 have an option to deactivate the "predictive" email addresses that show up when composing a new email.  If I send a thousand emails to a few "junk" email accounts, will the predictions change?  How long until they change back?  It is simply a count of the number of emails sent?  If so, I can work around this.
    2. The Q10 Should have cursor movemenet/text selection keys.  I forgive RIM when I have trouble selecting a textbox or button on screen — I know they're new at touchscreens.  However, text selection on the Curve outperformed any iOS or Android device that I've used.  If the programmers at RIM don't understand what needs to be done then RIM need to hire someone who has worked extensively in text environments.  I don't care if I have to push some strange combination of asdw for left/down/right/up with alt, z, shift or other keys held for word/sentence jumping and selecting.  The "white circle" is simply unusable for rapid text manipulation. 
    3. The Q10 should have an option to never mark email as read on server (leave unread on server).  Similar to the "do not delete on server" option, that many are complainig about.  I'm amazed at how few settings the phone offers, especially in email.  I still find myself looking for an "advanced settings" button that perhaps I haven't found yet.  I thought it was Apple that simplified devices to the point that settings don't even exist...
    4. The Q10 should allow for selectable snooze times.  This is one area where I've been spoiled by the very useful Andoid app "Calendar Snooze."  Even before purchasing the Q10 I realized that I might need to carry around a wifi enabled Android device just to have the extensive appointment/reminder functionality that I've come to depend on. 
    5. There should be a method to activate the Q10 with the spacebar.  Lock screens have become popular to prevent inadvertent screen taps but key presses are much more difficult to do by mistake, especially with holsters.  The whole "swipe up" is horrible in my opinion - I need to do it two or three times in some cases.  Pressing the button on the top is just awkward.  This is one of my biggest complaints, along with #6.
    6. The Q10 should have the ability to launch apps from the "home screen" or when off.  I'd prefer when off.  If not, then home screen should be something I can jump to anytime the phone is turned on.  Again, more options.  To be as usable as the Curve was, this phone needs to have a quick way to power on (space bar or any key), an option to turn off the "swipe up to unlock" and support for loading apps like memopad, calendar, contacts, email with the press of one character on the keyboard.  This is the main reason I wanted a keyboard again!  Since apps like memopad have been removed, the keys should be programmable to allow for launching of third party apps. 
    This list of issues makes the Curve's "need to dial 911 and hang up when the battery is low to make a call" problem seem insignificant.  However, I'm hoping that there are some work-arounds that others have figured out.
    I may have more than 12 days to evaluate since I have a "creaky/sticky" space bar which neccesitates a replacement phone.  Either way, two weeks is not long and if I had to decide today I would be sending the phone back and probably just sticking with the S3 until something that is worth the cardboard box it's shipped in becomes available. 
    Thanks, 
    Dave

    These addresses cannot be turned off or deleted.  They should go away after you email someone else regularly but it does seem to take a while.  I haven't figured out the exact time it takes.  You get used to ignoring them after a while until all of a sudden something usable pops up.  My wife's email address is finally in mine now. 
    2. The Q10 Should have cursor movemenet/text selection keys.  I forgive RIM when I have trouble selecting a textbox or button on screen — I know they're new at touchscreens.  However, text selection on the Curve outperformed any iOS or Android device that I've used.  If the programmers at RIM don't understand what needs to be done then RIM need to hire someone who has worked extensively in text environments.  I don't care if I have to push some strange combination of asdw for left/down/right/up with alt, z, shift or other keys held for word/sentence jumping and selecting.  The "white circle" is simply unusable for rapid text manipulation. 
    Cursor movement/placement:  Touch the cursor where you want it.  If you are off by one letter just tap it again and a circle will appear.  You can then tap any side of the circle to  move the circle/cursor one space in that direction.  You can go up/down/right/left, etc.  To select text simply touch and hold where you'd like to select.  It will select the word first.  Continue holding and it will select the sentence.  Continue holding and it will select the paragraph, and finally the entire document.  You can also move the dots on either end of the selection to move it manually.
    3. The Q10 should have an option to never mark email as read on server (leave unread on server).  Similar to the "do not delete on server" option, that many are complainig about.  I'm amazed at how few settings the phone offers, especially in email.  I still find myself looking for an "advanced settings" button that perhaps I haven't found yet.  I thought it was Apple that simplified devices to the point that settings don't even exist...
    With the latest OS update (not yet released by ATT but see below for more info on upgrading anyway) you can choose to delete on handheld only, server and handheld, or prompt each time.  Reads are sync'd and can't be controlled but I don't know of any device that uses the same email protocols (iOS, Android, etc.) where the reads syncs can be turned off.
    4. The Q10 should allow for selectable snooze times.  This is one area where I've been spoiled by the very useful Andoid app "Calendar Snooze."  Even before purchasing the Q10 I realized that I might need to carry around a wifi enabled Android device just to have the extensive appointment/reminder functionality that I've come to depend on. 
    There is no adjustment for this.  There was a secret way to do this on the old BB devices that I didn't learn until after I went to BB10.  It would be nice to have that option for calendar notifications.
    5. There should be a method to activate the Q10 with the spacebar.  Lock screens have become popular to prevent inadvertent screen taps but key presses are much more difficult to do by mistake, especially with holsters.  The whole "swipe up" is horrible in my opinion - I need to do it two or three times in some cases.  Pressing the button on the top is just awkward.  This is one of my biggest complaints, along with #6.
    There is no option to wake with the space bar.  The only option given for anything like this is the ability to turn off swipe to wake.  If you turn that off then swiping up does not wake the device and you have to press the lock button on the top.  Not really what you're looking for.  Having used the device for over a year now I don't even think about the swipe to wake and I love it.  There is no "home" button to fail like so many iOS users complain about.  The button either fails or gets very sticky.  I find myself swiping up to wake my iPad sometimes it's so natural now.
    6. The Q10 should have the ability to launch apps from the "home screen" or when off.  I'd prefer when off.  If not, then home screen should be something I can jump to anytime the phone is turned on.  Again, more options.  To be as usable as the Curve was, this phone needs to have a quick way to power on (space bar or any key), an option to turn off the "swipe up to unlock" and support for loading apps like memopad, calendar, contacts, email with the press of one character on the keyboard.  This is the main reason I wanted a keyboard again!  Since apps like memopad have been removed, the keys should be programmable to allow for launching of third party apps. 
    Not quite sure what you're asking here.  Launch apps when device is off??  This may help, though.  On the home screen and any icon screen you will see a row of small dots, four tiny squares, and a small envelope icon.  The envelope icon is the hub, the four dots are the active frames page, and the small dots are your screens of app icons.  You can touch any of those small icons and jump directly to that page.  You can swipe left and right across those and move to any of those pages, as well.  You can find info about the available keyboard shortcuts here:  http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/61550/shortcutList.jsp
    This list of issues makes the Curve's "need to dial 911 and hang up when the battery is low to make a call" problem seem insignificant.  However, I'm hoping that there are some work-arounds that others have figured out.

    Dave, I've answered your issues in the quote above.  I don't usually do it that way but it seemed easiest in this case.
    Most of what you post about have workarounds and is actually possible in most cases.  I mentioned the OS 10.2.1update above which ATT has not yet released.  There are many new features included in 10.2.1 that make the device much more feature-packed.  I recommend updating the device to the newer OS, even though ATT doesn't yet support it.  It will give you a much better "test drive" of the device.  Here is a link on how to do it.  Just follow the instructions exactly and it's really easy:
    http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-10-OS-Device-Software/Upgrading-BB10-OS-Using-Sach...
    Once updated you can install almost any Android app using the BB10 app called Snap.  I included a link on how to install that in the post with the OS update instructions.  Again, I HIGHLY recommend installing the update.  It doesn't void ATT's warranty, however, their support line personnel can't support it because it's not officially released by them.  The official released OS can easily be re-installed should the need arise.  If you return the device they likely won't even know you updated it anyway. 
    All that said, since you're using the S3 I really recommend the Z10 over the Q10.  I have both (as well as a Z30) and absolutely LOVE the Z10/Z30 devices.  I was on a 9810 before the Z10 and wasn't sure I'd like the virtual keyboard but that keyboard is far better than any other touch device keyboard on the market.  It blows away the S3 keyboard and my iPad keyboard.  I am much faster on the virtual keyboard than I ever was on the 9810 virtual keyboard.  It is like magic how it knows what I wanted to type instead of what I really typed.  I have the bad habit of entering the letter b instead of the space key and I can type a whole sentence like that and it will change it automatically.  Can't do that with a physical keybaord.  Additionally, the bigger screen on the Z10/Z30 makes everything better. 
    Hope all this helps.

  • I have a few epubs that i want to keep, but iTunes won't transfer them from my iPad to my Mac?  Any Help?

    I have picked up a few epubs from the net that I really enjoy and want to keep.  However, when I sinc my iPad with my Mac, iTunes will not transfer the files from my iPad to iBook on my Mac.  I have upgraded my Mac to Mavericks and my iPad is running 7.0.2 IOS.  Anyone out there have a suggestion?

    You have told us nothing about the exact symptoms you're seeing (or not seeing), so with that much (or little) information, I would guess you're facing Apple ID ownership issues.  Perhaps the Apple ID you used to purchase the songs on the IPhone 4S is not authorized on iTunes, and'or is different from the Apple ID on the iPhone 5.
    Consider using Store > Authorize This Computer in iTunes and see if that helps.
