Wanting mac os 9 back on,on top of os X

When i bought os x i did not put os 9 back on before installing it,Turns out now i need it for some apps i use. I tried sticking os 9 over os 9 now i get a apple folder with a ? when it starts up. any ideas?

Did you try using the download at the bottom of the page?
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301468
I thought it might give you an easier way? Since I'm not in 10.4, I can't try it for you.
All is not sunshine, lollipops, and roses in Windows-land, either, you know?
Saying that when Apple comes out with a new OS, "they should support everything" is a little bit short-sighted. You're the one who did away with OS 9, after all.
Apple is very anxious for everyone to forget about OS 9. I still use it a lot, and I advise anyone who comes here NOT to delete it because if you ever want/need it back, it's a hard thing to do. Still, try using that download. There may have been so many complaints that they've made it easier to get it back in OS X 10.4.
Good luck. Really.

    I just downloaded the new IOS 7 update, and noticed that in the top slid down menu. I lost my twitter and facebook status inputs. Where you could write status with out opening the apps. I would love this back !!

    Tell Apple.
    No one in these user to user technical support forums can make it magically happen.
    Although if there's a setting to change it, that would be covered in the User's Guide.

  • I have a WD 2 tb hard drive that I want to use to back up my Mac Pro quad core.  How do I create a back up startup disk?  Also, when I used Time macine, it only backed up users and not the system or library folders.  Ideas?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Time Machine should be enough to make a backup of your files. Also, it should back up all folders, so open System Preferences > Time Machine > Options, and make sure that there are no folders included in the excluded items list.
    If you want to create a bootable clone of your hard drive, you need to use an app like Carbon Copy Cloner or the Disk Utility's Restore feature > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU7.html

    It sounds like you might need to reinstall.
    If you can open Terminal, this note might be worth a try:

  • Every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

    every time I open a new safari page and scroll down it jumps back to the top of the page. Happens super inconsistently and not on every web page. Tried all the dum dum moves like restarting computer and changing scroll direction in track pad. Anyone else have a similar issue? mac book pro, newest version of OSX. Thanks all!

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. Its settings will revert to their defaults. If the extension still causes a problem, remove it permanently or refer to its developer for support.

    I'm confused.  Are you saying that your mac came with an older version of OS X, but you want to be able to use OS X Lion, which you downloaded from the App store?  If this is not the case, what do you mean by "I downloaded os x but my laptop started off with os x lion and i want os x lion back"?  Specifically, what do you mean by "I downloaded OS X" if your mac came with Lion?

  • HT4907 I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air

    I am able to connect to my Mac Mini on Back to My Mac through iCloud but the keyboard/trackpad on the MBAir or MBP with which I access does not register on the Mini.  So I can see the screen but cannot interact with it. Mini works accessing MBP/Air and I can use Mini to input data or interact with screens of those computers.

    Regarding your first question about bookmarks, I think you discovered the answer in when you pressed the address bar. The second tab there has your bookmarks.
    As for the keyboard, I'm not sure why your Firefox is reacting so slowly; mine seems to show keyboards even when I don't want them. If you have accumulated a lot of history, perhaps that's an issue?
    Did you use any third party software to move your Firefox data from internal memory to the storage card?

  • When i create a new window, firefox Yanks me back to where i was and i dont want to be yanked back.

    i duplicate current pages by create new windows on a very frequent basis;
    to do this, i go to the top of the page that i want to duplicate and right-click and click on Open Link in New Window;
    I specifically want to duplicate the page i am on in another Window, not a new tab;
    Because
    Duplicating the current page to Open Link in New Tab, gives tabs on the top of my screen;
    Duplicating the current page to Open Link in New Window, gives 'tabs' on the bottom of my screen;
    I want 'tabs' to show on the bottom of my screen and to do that i have to Open Link in New Window;
    My question and What is happening, is that firefox is yanking me back to the page that i have just duplicated by right-clicking at the top of the page and clicking on Open Link in New Window;
    When i create the new Window, firefox yanks me back to the page that i just duplicated and i dont want to be yanked back to that page;
    I want to stay on the page that i just duplicated.
    I have tried changing the way tabs work in Options but nothing checked or unchecked results in the specific way i want to have new Windows open and STAY on that newly created Window and not be YANKED back to the window i duplicated.

    The original window did not have a Flash object, but does the window that hides itself contain a Flash object? That is the usual pattern for this bug in the plugin's protected mode feature.
    If you have not already tried disabling it, the following pages/posts provide different ways to do that:
    * Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]

    * Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
    Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.

  • My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud.  My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced.  I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

    My contacts on my old Iphone I gave a family member were deleted then synced to icloud.  My current iphone lost all its contacts when it next synced.  I retreived a 6mth old backup to get my contacts, but I want my recent messages back, any help?

    The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts.  Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
    The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
    Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

  • How can I get my Albums back at the top of the Library Panel?

    I recently upgraded to 3.3.2 and among the many new and sublty annoying features, all the smart albums which I created and which used to be at the top of the Library panel now appear at the bottom below the Projects.
    Why someone thought this should be moved is beyond me... and I am hoping there is a way for me to bring it back to the top.
    In some of my Aperture libraries I have literally hundreds of projects and rely on smart albums to quickly organize photos across them. Having to scroll to the bottom of the pane is a pain!
    Does anyone know how I can bring the ALBUMS back to the top of the Library pane?

    Create a folder (new Folder), call it "My albums" or similar, and drag it to the top of your projects section in the Library Inspector panel.
    Then drag all your albums there.
    You will have to set the projects to be arranged manually, or let the name of this folder start with a character that bring it to the top, if you want to sort by name.

  • How to divide time capsule for Mac and PC back up

    Want to know if a cant use my time capsule to do back up for my MacBook and do manual back up for the PC of my wife

    How to divide time capsule for Mac and PC back up
    It is not possible to divide or "partition" the Time Capsule disk......unless you pull the hard drive from the Time Capsule (which voids the warranty), place it in a separate enclosure or caddy, connect the enclosure directly to your Mac, and use Disk Utility to partition the disk. Then, you must reinstall the disk back in the Time Capsule.
    This is a lot of work....best done by an experienced technician. The operation will likely cost more than the cost of the Time Capsule.
    Life would be tons easier if you used the Time Capsule with your MacBook and added a separate USB drive to the PC.
    If you do not need to divide or partition the Time Capsule storage space, and you are willing to have the Mac and PC share the same space, take a look at an application like Macrium Reflect to backup the PC to the Time Capsule disk.
    Still, having done this in the past, things would be much faster and easier for you if you use a separate USB drive for the PC.
