Which mac was the last to run on OS9

I am trying to find what older Mac to upgrade to as my 2001 "basketball iMac" is becoming less and less reliable. Is there any way to transfer data from an OS9 machine to a OS 10?  I would consider upgrading to the last Mac that was capable of running on OS9. Any practical suggestions?

Is there any way to transfer data from an OS9 machine to a OS 10?
1) Probably the easiest.  Get a flash drive & copy data to there. Copy to new machine.
2) Set up an ethernet connection between the machines & run ftp.  If no router, you may need to connect the machines with a crossover cable.

I was able to upload files by using an FTP server.
I used PureFTPd Manager 1.7 with Mac OS X 10.4. this download does include the server software. I did have to create a FTP user.

I had to boot the classic machine after configuring PureFTP
I used fetch:

I used version 3. Previously, I used version 4.
You can use any web browser to download from Mac OS X when you turn on Web sharing. This is how I downloaded fetch.
3) Do both machines have firewire?
If you have a second Mac computer, you may want to try to copy over as many files you can. One way is to use target disk mode.

    Error 1403. How do I tell which update was the last downloaded?
    It is my understanding the updates need to be downloaded in order.

    Hi jmin907
    You may need to download the update from the Adobe Download site (Windows: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform= Windows). These updates typically have to be installed in order unless the downloads indicate otherwise.

    However, I was trying to figure out a way to do this without having to change the calling command line, because due to legacy reasons, it is not possible to change the command line calling the parent applications of this common code.You cannot change the command line, but you can change the applications?
    In main() do this:
    System.setProperty("whoami",(new Throwable().getStackTrace()[0].getClassName()));Elsewhere:
    String whoami = System.getProperty("whoami");

  • When was the last time a program was run?

    Experts, is there a way to know when was the last time a program was run (particularly, Z Program). We are trying to identify obsolete programs and avoid working on those programs that weren't touched for more than 3 years during our next upgrade. How can I find this? Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    One way is to check TRDIR table(se11/se16) and display it. In the next screen once you will get 'Data Browser Table TRDIR' selection screen. There either you put the individual 'Z' program name in the 'Name' field & execute it or for all multiple entries execute it.
    Once you execute it with the particular Z prog. name then you will get the required details like CDAT(Created on),UNAM(Last changed by),UDAT(Changed On),SDATE(Standard selection screen generation: Date),IDATE(Selection screen generation: Date) etc.
    Hope this can help you.

    I realize that my ancient version of InDesign 2 does not qualify for an upgrade now, but what was the last version it would have qualified for upgrading? CS2 or CS3?

  • What was the last version of CS to include webpage creation as part of Automate?

    The header says it all:  What was the last version of CS to include the creation of web pages as part of Automate in the File dropdown??  I've tried to re-install the original CS on a separate machine, which fails, since it does not make nice with my current version, and the Adobe folks are ABOLUTELY NO HELP since it's too old!
    Suggestions welcome.
    Brian McNeill

    The only thing i can think is your either referring to Automate>Web Photo Gallery or perhaps ImageReady.
    As far as windows goes many people have photoshop cs running on windows 7.

  • Which battery was the best for endurance for Satellite A100-999

    Hi
    I have just been given an A100-999 and I wanted to know which battery was the best for endurance.
    From what I have seen it is the pa3400u-1brs but i just wanted confirmation as I am planning to buy it in Japan as it is probably cheaper.
    Also, is there any information on how long this battery lasts?
    thanks

    Hi there,
    this battery would fit for your machine 100%. I have the same one in almost the same machine. Dont worry, just buy it.

  • At 3AM, within seconds, there were two attempts at using an "incorrect password" with my AppleID. The message from Apple was that it was probably a harmeless error. Seconds later, the third attempt worked, and that was the last my email has worked.Next???

    At 3AM, there was one attempt at entering my AppleID password, which failed per the email message. A few seconds later, a second attempt failed and the email message from Apple was that it was probably a mistake caused by someone entering a wrong keystroke when trying to enter their own password. Well,, a few seconds later, the message was that I had successfully changed my password. Great.
    Yes, it was a full twelve hours later that I saw this, since 3AM is a perfect time to hijack anyone, and I did do what it said about changing my password. But I want to know how someone changed my password at 3AM and had total access to my whole computer. My security is the highest Apple has.
    Mostly, that was the LAST email I've gotten. I can't bring email online. I can't do anything.
    I am mostly computer ignorant, which is why my daughter made me get an Apple in the first place. I love Apple. Any ideas at all the damage done? This seems like a big hole in Apple email. I am absolutely sure no one knew the password because I used a sequence I have never told anyone. Even my ex-husband of 35 years would have no clue.
    Did someone have to know that password? Is there another way? Well, I guess so.
    Help. Those emails are critical.

    Well if someone got access to your AppleID, they didn't get access to your computer, however, there is some information such as you iCloud information that they may have gotten access to.  If you changed your pasword back to something else, then they won't have access to it anymore either.  I'm not sure what is going on though because I have been getting a lot of those emails on my work AppleID that I have to have for work because I need to keep their phone seperate from all of my personal equipment.  It's just strange though that in the past few days I've been getting like 5 or 6 of those emails stating that an attempt was made to change my pasword a day.

  • When was the last log in of user X?

    Hello!
    I would like to know, whether it is posible to get the following information via tcodes e.g. SUIM:
    <b>When was the last log in of user X?
    Which transactions does the user use?</b>
    Thank you very much!
    regards
    Thom

    Hi
    In SUIM u can find the user and the last logon along with date and time stamp
    and regarding the tcodes
    There is no standard transaction. The information is available for configurable time periods using transaction ST05N but it is not organized to readily provide a report of users and transactions. Also the information available summarizes a user's use of a transaction. There will be one entry (with count data) per user per time period. Daily, weekly and monthly summaries can be created and they are stored for configurable durations.
    The information is summarized into a cluster table called MONI based on the STAT files that are written in the file system and regularly refreshed. MONI cannot be queried via SE16 etc., but SAP delivers a number of function modules that retrieve data from these tables.
    It is also possible to configure audit logging via SM19 and read the log files via SM20. This will provide more detail but it also introduces new file management issues and requires a change to system settings.
    Reward me the points if useful
    Regards

  • Which MAC OS server able to run under Xserver (Late 2006)

    I want to know which MAC OS server software can run under xserver (A1196, Late 2006)? I knew 10.4.8 Tiger Server is part of it. I tried to install clean 10.6.3 server software but it said it don't support hardware.
    Is there a way to install server software, if it able to run?

    Hi FERusso the 2006 can go to Lion (10.7) you might need to do the firmware update to get 10.6 installed. You should be able to download it via software update and it will then be in your Applications - Utilities folder..
    Thanks

  • Did Occipital, Inc. stop making the ClearCam app? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Why was the ClearCam app deleted from iTunes.?

    The ClearCam app by Occipital, Inc. was deleted from iTunes? Version 1.8.2 was the last update. Does anyone know why the app was deleted from iTunes? Just looking for an answer, because I used that app on a daily basis for work. I'd appreciate it so much if some had an answer to this question. Thanks

    I have a similar problem and have spent three sequential days at the Apple Genius Bar before we were able to exclude most other possibilities and found that certain files (in my case all mp3s from CDs I own) that play just fine in iTunes 11.0.1 and that used to play in iOS 6.0.1 do not play in iOS 6.1. We restored the phone to factory settings and synced only a few of the music files that were problematic. They still did not play. We reproduced the problem on my iPad mini (iOS6.1).
    Apple Telephone Support suggestion was to convert all mp3 files in iTunes to AAC (which according to Apple Website may degrade sound quality). No further suggestions or escalation but a recommendation to place comments on www.apple.com/feedback and, if there are enough complaints, someone at Apple might take an interest in this problem. Something has changed in iOS 6.1 where files that played on prior mobile system software no longer work.
    Apple, please pay attention to this glitch with iOS 6.1.

  • On iPhoto you can click info and see which camera was the source for the photograph, is there any way to identify which camera took the video on iMovie?

    Is there a way to determine which camera was the source for video clips in iMovie?  You can do this in iPhoto by clicking info but I can't find out how to do it in iMovie.

    Not as far as I know.  (you can often tell from the file name format).
