What programs does OS9 and classic run?

Primarily I use OS 10.3.9 but have OS9 and classic on my iMac from initial installation/purchase. Specifically, what programs/applications might the OS9 and classic run? If they are not programs I use, then I'll delete them and save the space. Thanks.

Hi, David. You should have a folder at the root level of your hard drive called "Applications (OS 9)", and it should contain most of your Classic applications: the ones that run in Classic mode, or when the computer is booted into OS 9 rather than OS X. You can remove them all by dragging that folder to the trash, but check first to make sure no valuable documents have accidentally been filed anywhere in that folder. If you're sure you'll never want to run Classic mode again, you can also dispose of the folder called "System Folder". To do so, first drag the file called "Finder" out of it onto the desktop, then restart your Mac, then trash the System Folder and the Finder file you moved previously, and finally, empty the Trash.
If you have a folder or alias at the root level of your hard drive called "Desktop (OS 9)", trash that too, after making sure once again that no valuable documents reside in it.
Be aware, though, that all of this OS 9-related stuff is only likely to occupy 1-2GB on your hard drive, so if you think you might ever want to use Classic or boot into OS 9 again, keeping OS 9 on your hard drive will cost you very little in storage space. But I'm sure you have some applications you don't use, and you can certainly jettison those.
Note that if you use the Find command in the OS X Finder and select "Kind...Is...Application" in the pull-down menus at the bottom of the Find window, you'll get a list of all the applications on your Mac. In the Kind column of the hit list, all the Classic applications will be listed as such, while all the OS X applications will be listed only as "Application". This can help to identify Clasic applications if they aren't all in the "Applications (OS 9)" folder — as is likely to be the case.

  • What os does lightroom and photoshop run best on?  Mac or PC?

    What os does lightroom and photoshop run best on?  Mac or PC?

    I don't know to which project files you are referring but:
    The Lightroom Catalog (a single file on both)
    The Previews (a single folder on both)
    The Smart Previews (a single folder on both)
    Presets, Settings and Such (in identically nested folders within the OS construct on both)
    Take it from an experienced user in both OS's. Mac simplifies somethings - PC simplifies others.

  • Does the new Classic run the same software as the older one?

    Does the new (120GB) version of the Classic run the same software as the older ones (80/160GB)?
    The reason I ask this is because I am interested in a Classic, but only the 160GB version. Will it run the same software, with the same features, as the new 120GB version?
    For that matter, is there any difference between the two versions of the Classic, other than storage capacity?

    What are the new software features, other than Genius (which I don't plan on using anyway)?
    Some that I have read about include...
    Better battery life.
    Same slimmer size as the old 80GB (I guess the 160GB was pretty chunky).
    The headphone port now supporting the new remote control and microphone headphones (where ever that gets released) so you can record your own voice memos and control the iPod from the headphone cord rather than digging it out of your pocket.
    Also when watching videos, IF the video has them encoded in, you can now turn on subtitles or listen to alternate audio tracks (e.g. the Spanish translation, directory commentaries, etc.). But again, this would assume the video has those features encoded into the video. The iPod only turns them on.
    That is about it. I lifted most of the above stuff off the iLounge review (which is quite good) found here...

  • What programs does the creative cloud complete membership come with?

    I'm just trying to find out specifically what programs come with the complete creative cloud membership for $49 a month. Every time I click on the link to view it on my computer it just takes me right to check out and I'd like to know what I'm getting before I purchase. I NEED to get Adobe Premier Pro over any other program so if it's not included in the complete package I'd need to know. Any help would be appreciated.

    I NEED to get Adobe Premier Pro over any other program so if it's not included in the complete package I'd need to know.
    It's included, but the standard disclaimer applies: If your system does not meet the system requirements, it won't even show up for install. More than anything else check that on the product page and possibly verify it by installing CC as a trial version.

  • Every day, just after midnight, my 3GS transmits about a gig of data.  How do I determine what is doing it and where its sending it?

    Every day my 3GS cellularly transmits about 1 gig of data, eating up my monthly limit.  How do I determine what's doing it so I can stop it?

    I'm told that sometimes you can figure out what apps are sending data via Settings -> General -> About -> Automatically Send, and then the following day, look at the Diagnostic & Usage Data.
    The data is rather cryptic, so even if it is in there, it may not be easy to figure out.

  • Does windows and mac run continuously using parallel, or is there some way to stop xp from running if you are not using it?

    I would like to run a few windows programs but I dont want the mac side to suffer when i am not using the windows os.  Is there some way to shutdown the windows part when you are not using?

    If you are running MS Windows in Parallels or Fusion or any other virtualization  software  you can shut it down while the machine is operating and still run OS X. There is no trick, you shut down MS Windows just like you would with any other MS Windows machine. That is one of the main advantages of virtualizaiton software, the ability to run both environments simultaneously if you want. If you don't want to run Windows then simply don't start the virtualizaiton software or if it's already running quit it like you do any app on a Mac.

  • What programs would be best to run to test the flickering and temp problem?

    My new i7 has not shown any effects yet, but then, I have not put it through any stress tests. I do not want to particularly download too much new stuff. I am trying to work with the new mac as it comes from the factory for about 1 or 2 weeks before I start downloading or transferring files and data.
    Are there any programs that are factory installed already, that I can use to really test the iMac both from the standpoint of flickering and temperature?
    Thanks

    How can I stress the new machine to see if it will initiate flickering at the same time checking the temperature characteristics?
    I had loaded and running about 25 programs, many of which were doing graphics or video. Certainly this was not a controlled and precise benchmark; I just wanted to make it as busy as I could for a while. No problem detected under the maximum I could manually stress the machine. Certainly things got hot and the fans were running faster but nothing serious.
    Just monitor the temperature with iStat as the programs are running and run Activity Monitor to watch the workload/memory use. After that test, I was impressed with the ability of this thing to multi-task and the HDD / CPU / GPU / screen were flawless.

  • What else does database and mail merge?

    I’m a small non-profit with a small database, using Appleworks. I record contributions and send monthly mail merge acknowledgements. Appleworks does it all, including printing the address labels for those who contribute each month. I understand Lion won’t support Appleworks...and the only answer I can find is Filemaker which costs a fortune and is way overkill for what I need. Aren’t there countless organizations who keep a database and send monthly acknowledgements? How can it be there’s no other application that will do this?

    Don't upgrade to Lion. It's a pretty box of tricks but it's hardly essential, and certainly not the indispensable "next step" that OS X, Tiger, Snow Leopard were. Stay where you are and run AW happily.
    If you HAVE to get a new machine, demand that they install Snow Leopard on it.

  • Demo programs of new and classic BADIs - transactions SE18 and SE19

    Does SAP supply any demo examples of the new BADI switch framework and/or classic BADIs.
    I've been trying to learn how to use SE18 and SE19 from examples on the web and articles in Thomas Weiss blogs. But, I'm still confused.

    Thank you for replying.
    I did look at that example during my investigations. In fact, I found another page with screen shots for the example at http://www.sapmaterial.com/badi.html
    Unfortunately, I'm on ECC 6.0 and the screen shots don't quite line up.

  • What program to install and convert video formats...?

    I am trying to find a program that will install on 10.3.9 and that can convert video formats (ie mpg and mp4 to wmv). Any suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. I did buy a newer Mac (PowerBook G4 with Leopard) but for now need to use my old Mac. I need to convert to WMV to use on my GoGear mp3 player, which is NOT Mac compatible, only Windows. How I miss my iPod Thanks again for any help.

    Well ffmpeg should be included by default. It is the core of the VH engine, but it may have been updated since your version of VH. And you may not need it depending on the conversion you are trying to make. Which version of VH is it ?
    So you are trying to convert the mpeg and mp4 files into wmv. Do you select the 320 pixels wide option ? Are the source movies 320 pixels wide ? or larger ?
    What settings do you use in VH ? ie. Which tab do you select for converting to ? and what options do you select within it ?
    Do you change the destination directory ?
    If you open the mkv files in QuickTime, it may complain about missing codecs, click Cancel and it'll leave you with a blank window. Select "Show Movie Properties" under the Window menu, what is under "Format" for the Video Track ? Is there also an Audio Track ?
    QuickTime shouln't complain about the movie, mpeg and mp4 should open and play just fine. If it does complain it's almost certain that the files are not the format they claim to be - the Show Movie Properties will sort this out.

  • What exactly does 'Activate and Adjust Database" mean?

    In SE14, if I put a table or index name in I get the button options to creat/delete/and Activate and Adjust Database.  What does that last one mean?  If I have an existing index does it reorg it? Does it just rematch the SAP internals to the Oracle database?
    Thanks
    Vince

    Hi,
    For an Index in SE14-->Activate & Adjust database is nothing but rebuilding of Index. if you see any missing indexes in DB02 then you can rebuild those using this option.
    This is specially helpful when your Index size becomes larger than table(more than table size).  You can free some space by monitoring large size index whose size is greater than & rebuild then using SE14-->Activate & Adjust with database.
    In case of table this option is risky as it may result in data loss
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Sushil

  • I have 2 airport express base stations that I am trying to use to extend my wifi. I have windows 7 and downloaded the airport utility but it wont pick up my airport express. Does anyone know what im doing wrong and how to get them to work?

    I have 2 Airport Base stations that I am trying to use to extend my WiFi but I cant get them to work. I downloade Airport Utility to windows 7 and it doesnt recognize any devices. I have them plugged in and they have a solid yellow light. Does anyone know what I need to do to get them to work. Your help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for providing the model information.
    I would recommend that you start by performing a "factory default" reset on all of your AirPort base stations. Once completed power them all down. While powered-down, temporarily connect both Express base stations to an open LAN port on the Extreme using separate Ethernet cables.
    Once connected, power up the Extreme; wait five minutes, and then, power up each of the Express base stations. Which you power-up first doesn't matter.
    Now start up the AirPort Utility on the PC. It should now "see" all three base stations. If so, go ahead and configure your extended network.
    Please post back your results.

  • What temperature does your mba 2012 run at when 98-100% idle?

    I have the i5, 8gb, 128gb version and when it is 100% idle (or close to it), the CPU temp is about 50 celcius. If I run Football Manager 2012 it can shoot up to 105 celcius when the matches are being played. I'd like to hear if others have the same temperature readings when running similar program loads. The ambient temperature is cool (about 18 celcius).

    Also would like to say DNS resolution is not the problem. I do not use my ISPs DNS servers. I use Google's public DNS servers and a in house caching DNS. DNS resolution is fine, outside the browser and the pages are getting "stuck" while loading not while transfering, or resolving.
