Re: Need help installing and booting OS9 on G4 Quicksilver 2002
If memory serves, and it often doesn't, the install disks are machine specific. Might want to try a generic OSX disk that supports classic, ie Panther, Tiger, and use the OS9 folder and drivers included.

Need help installing and booting OS9 on G4 Quicksilver 2002
Hi I just bought a used G4 quicksilver 2002 power mac (this one: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g4/specs/powermac_g4_1ghz_dp_qs.html). I want it to boot from OS9, and I don't really need to run OSX. I thought this would be simple to set up, but apparently not. Unfortunately, I bought this used without any install CDs. For the seller's privacy, I wiped the hard disk by connecting the G4 via firewire to my OSX laptop, and using the latest disk utility. This wiped any OS9 drivers from the disk. The newer OSX disk utility would not let me install the OS9 drivers on the reformatted drives. There is no 'install OS9 drivers' checkbox. Two questions: 1. IF I can find a bootable OS9 installer CD, will it install the OS9 drivers automatically to the reformatted hard drive? Or, will it not be able to see the drive at all when it boots up? 2. I need help getting a bootable OS9 CD. I found several ISOs online that I burned to a CD using my OSX laptop. But none of ISOs appear to be bootable on the G4. I am stumped as to why this doesn't work. Here are the ones I have tried: - http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/power-mac-g4-quicksilver-2002-restore-discs - http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=2109.0 Anyone have suggestions?

Re: Last gasp for G3 OS9 Browser - please help
Kris, I think you're thinking of the later G3 iMacs. For a G3 333MHZ iMac, because of lack of FireWire ports, you can only run up to 10.3.9. Unless you use a tool like XPostFacto, in which case you could run 10.4.11. The ram maxes out at 512MB. Yes, you can install up to 10.4.11, but you'd better max out the RAM at 1 GB, and even then you won't get any smooth video playback in OS X, but for general browsing it would probably suffice. -- -Jonas -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Last gasp for G3 OS9 Browser - please help
On Aug 18, 2012, at 11:40 PM, Jonas Ulrich wrote: Kris, I think you're thinking of the later G3 iMacs. For a G3 333MHZ iMac, because of lack of FireWire ports, you can only run up to 10.3.9. Unless you use a tool like XPostFacto, in which case you could run 10.4.11. The ram maxes out at 512MB. Yes, I forgot, but that limitation because of the Firewire ports is totally artificial, and once installed, 10.4.11 runs without XPostFacto or any other limitations other than those already present. Using XPostFacto may be the easiest way to install onto these, but you don't need to install XPF onto the clean installation of OS X. Other options for installing include: creating a custom install disc with a modified OSInstall.dist file that's missing the system check; booting from USB HD with a cloned installer containing the modified OSInstall.dist; booting an OS X system from USB and cloning it onto the internal HD; removing the internal HD and installing OS X on another Mac or external enclosure and transfer the HD back again. There are some others, such as using Pacifist to install; or cloning the installer disc onto a partition of the internal HD using OS 9 (need special version of Disk Copy, v.6.5b13 to clone OS X) and then modify the file from OS 9 and boot the OS X installer. I'm not sure about the RAM, I thought you could use two 512MB SoDimm modules, but it appears you're correct and there's some other limitation that restricts it to 512MB total. Looking at all these limitations, I'd say it's probably time to give up on this old Mac and get something newer. People give me old computers for free that are way better than this, and I turned down a whole pallet of these simply because their day has past us by. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Hi John, On a G4 PPC 1.67 10.5.8. Every time I try to play a video on Face Book I get a dialog box telling me to upgrade Flash, but all that's offered for 10.5 is Intel only. Any one know how I can play these video's If you click on the video link instead of the video itself you will be redirected to the YouTube video and there it will play - still a little shaky sometimes - on my trusty MDD 1.25 dual running Tiger and using the processor-specific version of Camino.

Re: Need 2 things via PB G4 and OS Lion directory help
Hi David. Thank you for the response. Since copying is a Finder operation, this would translate into a force Finder to quit -wich was what was hoping to avoid. Actually I was wondering if there was any way to simply get the Mac to obey what it's told to do when you use the intended operation (stop copying).

Need 2 things via PB G4 and OS Lion directory help
Greetings all, I have a Powerbook G4 connected to an Intel iMac via Target Disk mode, with the intent of copying files to the iMac in preparation for a nuke and pave for the G4 Powerbook (which it desperately needs at this point, as it is exhibiting serious OS issues, hence why the owner gave it to me to help them out). The iMac is running Lion (10.7) and the G4 is running leopard (10.5.8). Here are my questions: 1) in Lion, how do I make the folder window (when opened in List view) indicate at the bottom of the window the no. of items currently in the folder (as it does in Leopard and snow Leopard)? Every window in 10.5, when opened, displays information re; the no. of items in the folder, and the amount of disk space still available - I want to replicate that in Lion. 2) probably more important, as i am copying all these files from the G4 to the iMac (wedding photos, darn it, the ONLY copies, darn x 2!, so I gotta get them off!), sometimes the copying hangs on a (I suspect) corrupted file, and I can't get the iMac to give up trying (the little grey X in the copy progress bar supposedly used to stop copying is thoroughly useless) - currently I have no choice but to relaunch the Finder, which in turn hangs to relaunch until I either unplug the FW cable to the G4, or shut down altogether and relaunch, which I know is NOT the best option. Any way to make the iMac give up copying harmlessly? Any thoughts on either would be greatly appreciated.

Re: hdiutil help
Yes, I understand what is happening and why (now), but I think for most noob's MacOSX should have treated ISO images differently when you click on one and then click on the Burn to Disc button. It just does not seem to be as intuitive as it should be for users that are not as smart as you are (or I am now). ;-) I agree, the Finder should be smart enough to recognize a burnable image like that and just do the right thing. Bruce, I know I'm very late to this party, but why not use -fs UDF? I tried this and got an error from hdiutil, but I was able to mount the image with Disk Utility and it shows up as a UDF disk image in CMD-I. Windows should be able to handle UDF properly, no? Error was: mount_udf: mount_udf: open /dev/disk3 failed, Resource busy: Resource busy /sbin/mount failed with error 256 However, the resulting image mounted properly as a UDF image.

hdiutil help
I'm trying to write a script that turns a zip file into a Windows-mountable ISO file, and my sticking point is the hdiutil command creating the disk image. hdiutil create image_name -format UDTO -srcfolder source-folder-path Works. It creates a .cdr (aka .iso) file with the contents of the source folder. However the resulting disk image is formatted with a HFS+ file system, so when you try to mount the .iso file on a wondws machine (or the disk made by burning it) Windows claims it's corrupted and unreadable. hdiutil has a -fs option allowing me to choose MS-DOS as the file system but trying that results in an error: mount_msdos: /dev/disk2 on /Volumes/TEST: Operation not permitted /sbin/mount failed with error 18176 However, it seems to continue to make the disk image. Anyone know why it' spitting out that error?

Editing software question. Please help
Hi everybody, I am working on a donation video project using an old- but hardly ever used, Mac G3. The editing software is from the same era and is called RADIUS/DIGITAL ORIGIN. This combination worked very well when the video was captured directly from the camera. Recently a BR-3000U deck was added to capture the raw video but this combination is not working. It seems like the editing software/ RADIUS doesn’t interface with this recording deck. Has any of you successfully used this combination before? Do you know if an older version of Final cut pro or other editing software that would work with the BR-3000U and Mac G3 ? Thanks a lot in advance for any tips.

Help restoring contents of drive to newer computer
Hi all, I need some help to clarify the best procedure to use to restore the contents of an internal drive to a new place. My old G4 15” 800 MHz Ti-Book, using 10.4.11, developed bouts of severe screen disruption with lines, which I think might be due to the cable going trom computer to screen, being pinched or perhaps it’s the video card. Seems like a cable, because a visiting daughter tilted the screen while using it and things went bad from there... but I’m not looking to fix it... instead, I want to restore the entire backed up contents to a “new” 15” 1.64 GHz PB which will have a clean install of 10.4 in it from the seller, which I’ll upgrade to 10.5 after the restoration. Here is the situation that I’m working with: I have been doing daily backups of the 800MHz using SuperDuper to an external 1TB firewire drive. Even though SuperDuper has been finishing each backup making the TB drive bootable, it actually isn’t. I have to use another way to get SuperDuper to restore the backed-up data to the 1.67 book. I cannot find, at this time, the SuperDuper disk to install into the 1.67. But I do have SuperDuper on a working 17” 1.33 MHz G4 PB which also happens to be connected to the same 1 TB firewire drive. Can I just add/connect the new 15 PB directly to the same I TB drive via a FW cable, theres an open port on the TB drive, and ask Super Duper on the 17 to restore the back-up on TB to the new 15? Sorry for all the words, whew. Thanks for any specific info or a better way that you can outline for me. I’d like to get this right the first time. It’s been a nightmare trying to regain some of the functionality that I had going on the Ti-Book. -- dan_A http://web.me.com/danauerbach -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

It’s been a nightmare trying to regain some of the functionality that I had going on the Ti-Book. You're going about this all wrong. First, the reason the 1TB external HD isn't bootable is because you've probably not got the correct partition format on the HD. PPC Macs using 10.4 Tiger require Apple Partition Format. Intel Macs use GUID Partition Format, and your external HD would have came OEM as Master Boot Record Partition Format. The file system is independent of the partition format, so even if you repartitioned to HFS+ file system, if the partition format is wrong you can't boot on a PPC Mac. Leopard 10.5 can boot BOTH Apple Partition format and GUID on PPC Macs, but Intel Macs only boot GUID. The best way to accomplish your goal is to forget about Tiger 10.4 on the new 1.67 and instead do a clean install of Leopard 10.5, then during the installation process use the Migration Assistant to move everything over from the old TiBook. The way you do this is to select the option Transfer my information from another Mac and then boot the TiBook into Firewire Target Disk mode by holding the T key at startup and connect it to the new 1.67 with a Firewire cable and let the Migration Assistant transfer everything. You could also possibly transfer from the external 1TB drive if you wanted, but why use a copy when the original is available? -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Help restoring contents of drive to newer computer
Ok what should work. Get the 'firewire' full backups working as being 'bootable'. It's then quite simple. Hook up the firewire cable between the 1TB drive and the new (to you) 15 PB. have the 1TB drive powered up. Power on the new PB while holding the 'Option Key'. The 'old, backed up system from your present Ti-Book (on the 1TB drive, will show up as one of the boot choices. Select it. When the 15 PB boots, then use CCC/ SuperDuper that system (your old Ti-Book system) TO the HD in the New 15PB. DONE The old Ti-Book system/Data/Garbage/deleted Files/EVERYTHING will now exist on your NEW 15PB Have FUN!!! Chuck D.

Help with Griffin g4Port in OSX and LaserWriter
I have a PowerMac G4 DA (OSX 10.4.11 and MacOS 9.2.2), and a LaserWriter Select 360 printer. When I switched from the Beige G3 to the G4 DA, I wanted to keep this fine laser printer, so I found and installed the Griffin g4Port (it's a little device substituting the modem card, and giving the G4 a serial/printer port like older Macs). The g4Port+LaserWriter work fine in OS9, but I would like to print in OSX as well - and I can't understand how to set it up. Since when I got the G4 I was still using mostly OS9, I didn't care much about printing in OSX (10.3.9 at the time). Now I do (since I'm using OSX almost exclusively), but I don't know how to set it up nor for OSX neither for Classic. Griffin FAQ says the g4Port is compatible with OSX 10.3 (we are talking 2002 here). I think it should be compatible with 10.4 as well. I installed its drivers, but... then what? - I go to OSX Preferences/Print, and it lists Adobe PDF 8.0 and iP2000 (a Canon inkjet, working ok) only. If a create a new printer based on Adobe PDF 8.0, it creates a PDF, no printing. - I tried messing around in Network and Print preferences: I see g4Port in Network but I can't set it to Appletalk, and there's no G4Port or LaserWriter at all in Print. - If in Network I create a new position, I can set g4Port in Show. Then what? All the tabs are for Internet (PPP, TCP/IP, Proxy, Modem). - From Classic (I mean, inside OSX), I can't print either (I seem to remember I was able to print from Classic in 10.3, but I might be wrong). Inside Chooser I click on LaserWriter 8 icon (like I do in OS9), but no printer appears on the right. When I try to print (e.g. from QuarkXpress) I get an Unknown error -5751. I know it's an old piece of hardware, but I hope someone is able to shed some light - the whole Network/Print prefrences are quite obscure to me. :-/ Thanks in advance, Valter -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Help with Mac OS9 Drivers, running in OS-X/Classic
Thanks Bruce - it is working just fine on OS9, I was just seeing if there was a 'fix' to pop this thing into a window in OS-X, and it doesn't look like it is possible. National Instruments does provide a developers toolkit, so one could I guess in theory write one, but it's probably not worth the effort as the ap runs just fine in OS9.

If you can boot directly into 9.2.2 and it works, then it works, hurray! If you boot into 9.2.2 and it doesn't work, I'd hazard that you may need to downgrade back to OS 9.1, or figure out what changed between OS 9.1 and 9.2.2 that caused it to quit working. Sometimes you can substitute specific older extensions from 9.1 into 9.2.2 and get functionality from within 9.2.2 without a full-fledged downgrade to 9.1. As far as Classic under OS X, Classic does support OS 9.1, so you can run a 9.1 Classic environment if necessary, BUT, as Dan has pointed out, Classic will only work IF there are OS X hardware drivers for your card. You seem to indicate there are OS X drivers, so you need to get the hardware working while booted under OS 9.x, and then setup a Classic system using the correct OS 9.x version.

Re: Help with Mac OS9 Drivers, running in OS-X/Classic
The color right 2.0 software runs just fine under os 9.2.2. It will not run under classic in os x10.4.? Because the application cannot communicate with the GPIB card. There are three configurations I can try here - turn off the os9 GPIB drivers, and leave the OSX drivers on, the opposite, or the option to have the drivers on in both the os9 window as well as os-x. All three configurations won't work. This is really the same scenario that the griffin folks ran into when trying to get the imate adb to USB adapter to work when using a classic application in os-x - looks like they solved the problem by having an option in the os-x driver that allows a user to select an option in the driver to allow classic to take control of the image adaptor. So that probably means that the only way to get this to work is to modify the GPIB os-x driver somehow to allow classic to control it. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

The scanner is an Optronics Colorgetter 3 plus, using a program called Colorright Pro 2.0.

Help with Mac OS9 Drivers, running in OS-X/Classic
Thought I would at least give this a try. The standard blurb about running OS9 applications in classic mode in Tiger is they will ususally work, except for scannnig applications. Right. I have a scanning application that I want to run in Os9/Classic Mode. Why? 'Cause they say it can't be done I guess! The application needs one important bit of hardware, a GPIB driver for a PCI-GPIB card. Of course, drivers are available for both OS-X 10.4, as well as OS9 for this hardware, and they work fine in their native modes, but I'm wondering what kind of tomfoolery is needed to coax those OS9 drivers to work within an OS-X 'window'. I have tried completely disabling the GPIB drivers in OS-X, hoping that OS-X won't 'look' at that card, and seeing if the OS9 drivers can then take over the card and control it, but so far without success. The OS9 GPIB extension does seem to load fine when the OS9 is created within OS-X, so that looks promising... I'm working on a thoery that this is possible to do as the makers of the adb-usb adaptor, imate, the griffin folks, were able to get this similar configuration to work by writing a driver for OS-X that allows OS9 Applications to take control of the device. That's what I need! Perhaps there is a work around or techinque that might allow this for the GPIB drivers. I'm using a national Instruments PCI-GPIB card. Or, perhaps the other option might be to use a plug and play version of GPIB, and only plug it in when the application needs it, wonder if that would work?? I think there are USB version's of GPIB hardware out there somewhere Any ideas folks?

Re: Help - Anyone with OS 9.1 install disk for a G4 Digital Audio?
That could be the case - the firmware has been updated on this machine. I need 9.1 because I'm trying to get a pci-gpib card working in this machine, and 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 both give me heap errors/crash on stratup. The National Instruments website that has the drivers for this card say they support the card to 9.1, with no support after that (on Mac OS, they do have OSX drivers). I also have 10.4.11 running on this machine, and using those OSX drivers it doesn't have the heap error that 9.2.2 has, and the diagnostics program for the gpib says it finds the card on the pci bus, but it can't 'read' the card. This card works flwalessly in a Mac 9500, as well as windows 7, so it's not the card. Seems to be a problem with this card with this machine (digital audio G4). I might just go anotehr route and try a usb to gpib adapter - and stay away from the PCI bus with this machine.

Re: Help Me Please
Check the memory ram compatibility, remove any extra pci card like USB or FireWire, printer or scanner. Kill before the power and push the power for the static and start to remove any dimm of memory ram. Remove the pram batt.

This doesn't make sense because writing all 0's is wiping the hard drive. You meant you wrote all zeros and wiped the HD. Now I can't reload an operating system. I have tried several ways including using an external DVD reader. I want to reload Mac OS10.3.2 Panther then OSX10.4 Tiger, both of which I have. You don't need to reinstall Panther unless your 10.4 DVD is an upgrade DVD? Even then, you could convert the upgrade DVD into a full install DVD and skip the Panther, but that may be too much work. Boot either install DVD. Go to Disk Utility and Partition the HD into one partition with the Option of Apple Partition Format and HFS+ extended (journaled) file system. Then quit Disk Utility and run the installer normally. If you can't boot the DVD from the internal optical drive, to boot from an external Firewire you can hold the Option key while the external is powered up with the DVD in the unit already. If you're trying to boot from USB this probably won't work on a PPC PowerBook, USB booting is generally Intel only and early colored iBooks and iMacs. One way around the USB external optical drive boot is to boot OS9 on the internal optical drive then choose startup disk and it'll show the USB DVD and you can boot it.

Wm. in Bay Village, Ohio Not sure I qualify as an expert, but what messages is it giving you when you try and boot it from the install cd/dvd? If you have another mac available, can you boot the powerbook into target disk mode and hook them together with a firewire cable and install the OS from the other mac?
