Hello jack,
If you so wish, it is possible to use another Mac, or even a Windows PC, to download freeware/shareware programs from the Internet. You could carry out transfers to the Macintosh IIcx on 1.44 MB HD diskettes. Pre-1998 Macs had internal floppy drives. Until about 5-10 years ago, so had many Windows PCs.
If you are using Mac-formatted 1.44 MB floppy disks (which can be read directly by System 7.0.1 on the IIcx), you would need a utility for the handling of Mac disks (such as TransMac) on a Windows PC.
If you have access to the 7.0.1 system disks, you could also look for a program called Apple File Exchange on the Tidbits floppy. This program allows PC-formatted floppies to be read on the IIcx.
Keep all downloaded files as they are (.bin, .hqx or .sit) until on the IIcx. Do not try to decode or decompress anything earlier. Once on the IIcx, use Stuffit Expander to decode/decompress (drag the files onto the StuffIt Expander program icon or open from within the utility).
Without access to an older StuffIt Expander version, you may want to try the method described below:

Freeware/shareware can be found, for example, here:

  • Will the external hub of an audigy 2 platinum pro ZS work with an X-fi Xtreme Mus

    Topic title says it all.
    I recently bought a new pc with a Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme Music, I love the new features of the card however I don't really want to shell out on getting a usb hub.
    With my old pc I had a Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum Pro ZS (phew that name is long) and it came with a very usefull external hub with midi and audio inputs, the works. I was wondering if it is possible to hook these two up?
    Thanks in advance

    No, they aren't compatible. The X-Fi card doesn't have any AD_Link connector to link up with the external I/O console you have.

  • I want to install Adobe PageMill 3.0 on my laptop which runs under Windows Vista but cannot because the original input was on floppy discs, and I don't have a floppy disc drive.

    Is Adobe PageMill 3.0 still available? I use it to run three websites but it does not run on my new desktop which has a 64-bit operating system. However it would run on my laptop which runs under Windows Vista. But the original installation was from floppy discs and I do not have a floppy disc drive.

    I am sorry Lcosahedron I am not aware of a download location for Adobe PageMill 3.0.  It appears it was discontinued in 1999.  You can find more details at Adobe PageMill - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

  • I just brought my MacPro in for service and they replaced my hard drive. However, now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working! Is there anything I can do to fix this without having to take it back in for service, again!?

    The nearest service center is 2 hours from my house and my computer isn't under warranty anymore, so I need alternative options. I'm just frustrated that my disc drive was totally fine until AFTER I took it in for service. I just paid a lot of money for a new hard drive from the apple store and now my disc drive has suddenly stopped working correctly. I tried with multiple CD's and DVD's...loading a disc, but my computer would just make a weird loading noise and then eject the discs. Now it has started fighting taking the disc, so I have stopped trying. Is there anyway to fix this problem without taking it in for service again and paying another boat load of money?
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    ShelbyMackenzieLynne,
    when you say that your disc drive is damaged, do you mean your MacBook Pro’s hard disk drive, or do you mean its SuperDrive (the CD/DVD drive)?
    When you’d updated your MacBook Pro to Mavericks, did the installation succeed, and subsequently freeze up? Or did it freeze up during the Mavericks installation?
    Which version of OS X was installed on your MacBook Pro before you’d installed Mavericks?
    Are you currently able to boot into the Mavericks recovery partition? To see if you can do so, hold down a Command key and the R key while starting up your MacBook Pro.

  • Does oracle jdbc driver 9.0.1 work with sdk 1.4?

    Hi All Experts...
    Does oracle jdbc driver 9.0.1 work with sdk 1.4.1? Ever since i have moved to 1.4 i am having problems. I keep getting the No Suitable Driver error or NoClassDefFoundError. I have everything in the classpath and i have also tried command line but to no avail. The JVM just refuses to pick up the classes12.zip file from the classpath.
    The oracle site mentions that the 9.0.1 driver is for jdk 1.2 & 1.3 but it does NOT mention that it is NOT for 1.4.1. The site very explicitly mentions that the 9.2 driver is for 1.4.1. SO i am a little confused.This question may be stupid, but nevertheless,If i have to upgrade my driver from 9.0.1 to 9.2 then does that mean that i have to upgrade my DB as well?
    Experts..please help.. THanks

    Thanks a lot, as usual, MOD.
    Now only if i can get my JVM to pick up the classes12.zip file from the classpath. I dont know if you read my previous posting today.

    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

  • Multiple iPhoto libraries from external drive. How to work with them all

    I'm not an expert user so forgive me. But I have tons of pictures and videos of family.
    I've had to save 2 libraries on an external drive and going on my 3rd. I had to do it because the computer was running super slow and giving me warnings. Each library is about 115GB.
    Now my question is: Whats the easiest way to work with all libraries a the same time? I create slide shows and videos and often need pictures and videos that are in the different libraries..... problem being, I have to close a library, open the next, import and export photos from one to the other.......
    I think you get my point.....any suggestions are appreciated.

    Thank you again Larry.
    Unfortunately some horrible thing just happened . I was getting ready to put your advice to work and...........
    I went to verify all my libraries were in the External drive (My passport for Mac) before I did anything else.  I couldn't find the drive. I  called the company and apparently the is a problem with the drive and my only option is to try recover the data from a recovery data service....
    What did just happen???? I'm still hopeful I can recover it. and I may have a back up in another drive.
    So this is semi-related question. How many back ups of your pictures should you have to be safe? and How do I know which devices are reliable? I thought these two Mt Passports from Western Digital were ok? Any advice?

  • What is needed to restore functionality to my CD drives--they do not work with iTunes version 10

    I am running Windows 7 on an older computer.  Previously, I experienced no difficulty playing iTunes or burning iTunes music to CD.  At some point, after downloading newer version of iTunes I lost functionality in both of my disc drives (1 = Liteon DVDRW and 1 = Matshita DVDRW).
    Recently I attempted to install latest version of iTunes, thinking perhaps the new version might address some of my disc drive issues--the problem:  Part way through installation the message, "Windows Installer unable to find necessary file," and alas, install fails.
    Short of buying a new computer, what can be done to solve my disc drive issues?

  • What har drive is recommended to work with Time Machine smoothly?

    What hard drive - other than Time Capsule - works smoothly with Time Machine? I'm looking for one that is a little less expensive that Time Capsule but will work as well with Time Machine.
    Thanks for your help.
    Vernon

    Most any drive will work with Macs, and Time Machine.
    Most drives come formatted for Windoze, but most of them can be re-formatted on your Mac to work with it. See item #5 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* at the top of this forum.
    Also note item #1 there for size considerations; and items #3 and/or 4 for using with other data and/or other Macs.
    If you think you ever might want to put a "bootable clone" on it, be sure it's a bootable drive (some WDs aren't). Most PPC Macs can boot only from FireWire; most Intels can boot from F/W or USB.
    Depending on what ports you have, FireWire 800 is by far the fastest; FireWire 400 next, and USB slowest (F/W 400 and USB 2.0 are rated about the same, but since your Mac's CPU has to do more of the work with USB, actual throughput is usually less).
    Many folks think USB is less reliable than FireWire. If you do get USB, be sure to connect it to a port on your Mac, not a keyboard (that's USB 1.0). Try to avoid hubs, too.
    It's usually best to get a drive with it's own power supply, as taking power from your Mac can be a marginal proposition.
    Take any advice for or against particular makes or models with a grain of salt: all makers (of just about anything) can have a "run" of bad components, or a relatively few early failures. Plus, by the time any really good trends are noted, the model has probably been revised or replaced anyway!

  • External display via Mini DisplayPort to DVI no longer works with MacBook.

    I had not used my external monitor in the last several weeks. I believe there have been a few OSX Lion updates since the last time I used the external monitor. I had installed all the updates prior to connecting my external monitor again. However, a few days ago I tried to connect the external monitor and all I get is a "No Signal" message on my external monitor. The Mini DisplayPort to HDMI works on my LCD TV, so I know  the MDP works. I have also replaced the MDP-to-DVI cord and the external display still doesn't work.
    I connected the external monitor to another computer running Snow Leopard and the external monitor works. So, the external monitor does work.
    I have seen a few posts aboout this, but nobody seems to have a solution that works or is directly on point to my issue. I have tried to use all the scenarios for plugging in the external monitor and external monitor power. I tried to reboot the laptop with and withoout the external monitor connected. Same thing with the exteernal monitor plugged in and no power, etc. Nothing works. I have tried to repeatedly turn the external monitor on and off while connected to the MacBook. Again, that doesn't work.
    So, I am open to any help someone may have. Here is what I am running:
    MacBook, Aluminum 13" Late 2008
    OSX 10.7.3
    NVIDIA GeForce 9400M

    While we all have MacBooks in this forum most of us don’t run Lion. There's a Lion Support Community where everybody has Lion. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. Lion seems to have problems with external monitors.  https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

  • I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

    I am trying to hook my MacBook Pro to a Sony Bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. I have used the same setup with three other TV's, each a different brand with no problem. Any ideas?

    Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
    On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection.  Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection.  Check your connections.
    If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image.  Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p).  Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown.  You should see a picture at this point.  I  recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

  • Will the Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook work with the Thunderbolt Display?

    I'm looking into buying a new Thunderbolt Display, but do I need to buy a new MacBook Pro or will the Thunderbolt Display work with my Black 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook?

    Yes. You'll need to create a Mavericks USB installer from the App Store download, and the App Store is only available with 10.6 and above, so that's a challenge for you to overcome, but that SSD will install just fine.
