MacBook :: Mac OS9 Working With SheepShaver - Can't Install .img Nor See .smi?
Oct 2, 2010
I'm from Germany! Recently I stumbled upon a Game I used to play with my brother for hours and hours it is called Lode Runner The Legend Returns. The Problem is that it doesn't actually work on OS X so I used SheepShaver to run OS9 on my computer. So I found Load Runner on macintoshgarden.com and downloaded it. I was bringing it over to the Mac OS 9, when I realized that ".img" was not recognized by the system because a window emerged:
"The Document TLR.img could not be opened, because the application Disk Copy could not be found"!!
So I starded looking for "Disk Copy" I found one (6.3.3 to be precise) and downloaded it to the Mac OSX here you can't open it because classic mode is no longer supported on Snow Leopard. So I got into The Mac OS9 to open it via the little "unix" icon where you can access the Data on your computer and voila! I can't see the darn file. It's one of those ".smi"-files.
Is there an app out there that will allow me to install Panther while using Leopard? I thought I heard of one. Sheepshaver installs OS 9 and Parallels can only install Leopard Server
Been lurking around the forum getting some good ideas. I recently picked up a Macbook Air Rev A 1.8/SSD (couldn't resist at current refurb prices).
Anyway great machine but for one thing - I am trying to do a clean install but the remote install is not working for me via wifi or ethernet.
I have connected my old macbook to my MBA and I can see the dvd install disk. I successfully go through the whole process of restarting the MBA (holding the option button), the startup disks appear and I can connect to my home wireless network, I select the dvd install disk and click on the arrow button and my MBA restarts. However, it then does one of two things - restarts and goes to the desktop or there is a kernel panic attack.
Basically I don't get to the next stage where you select your language and go on to partition the drive.
I have 13" MBP Mid - 2009 bought July '09. My computer started with a ? folder flashing the other day, and I can't get Leopard or Snow Leopard to reinstall. My computer has crashed before, and I ended up somehow getting Leopard to install. I have time machine backups of my data. I tried erasing and reinstalling both Leopard and Snow Leopard; I've tried re partitioning and reinstalling both Leopard and Snow Leopard; I've tried Zeroing out the data then installing and no go either. Any Ideas?
When my computer crashed before, I thought it was because of faulty snow leopard upgrade installation (installed then crashed a month later). I called Apple and they sent me a new Snow Leopard Disc. Before the disc arrived, I finally got Leopard to install. I waited till I got an external hard drive to back up my stuff before I installed snow leopard with new disc. Well, I installed snow leopard the week after christmas, and now a month later it did this again. I tried all that I told you in the above paragraph. What is wrong with my computer? I really need it cause its the only mac I have and I have papers I need to turn in that are on my backups!
I�m rebuilding a MacBook Air at work and ran into a problem....
After checking the install DVD I get the error:
The installer could not validate the contents of the 'BaseSystem' package
I�ve ran a simple Hardware Test and that came back ok, it�s currently running an extended hardware test.
I am using the original Air install DVD�s
I�ve tried erasing the drive (SSD 64GB) and that made no difference...
I�ve done some reading already on the net and this error usually points to a RAM issue, 3rd party RAM, but obviously this cant be the case with the Air...
Its a 1.8 Rev A with the original SSD and I�m using the Superdrive....
I have MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011), I installed Windows 7 using BootCamp Assistant. Now I have 2 OS, but windows 7 having some driver issue (network, audio not working). I don't have any CD for MAC, so how can I install this windows 7 driver?
I have a 2006 Macbook with a "Core Duo" processor. When I got it, one of the RAM slots was busted, so I put a 1gb stick in the working one to add a little speed. My question is, since the maximum RAM in this model macbook is 2gb, would it be possible to install a single 2gb stick into the working slot?
Just did a clean install of OS X on my Air. The keyboard backlighting does not work--when I try to adjust with the F5/F6 keys I just get the circle with the little line through it, and even in a pitch dark room the keyboard does not light up whatsoever.
In system preferences I have the "Illuminate keyboard in low light conditions" box checked and have the slider to "never
How can I install snow leopard without an optical drive? Could I take it to an apple store to get it installed or can I copy the cd over to a usb pen drive?
I own a Macbook Pro, it's a A1150 model with an Intel Core Duo processor. I'm trying to use my install disc but every time I try to use it, the cd drive reads it for a few seconds but then just ejects it afterwards. What can I try to get it to work? My laptop came with the 10.4.5 install disc and I upgraded to 10.6 Snow Leopard via disc (the disc itself just says 10.6). I have all my software updates and it shows I have OS X version 10.6.8 currently installed.
When I turn on the computer with the 10.4.5 disc already inserted and hold C it just boots up like normal and ejects my install disc. Likewise when I try with the 10.6 Snow Leopard disc it does the same thing. I've tried holding the option key and it still just ejects the disc after it reads it for a while. Both discs are genuine (not copies) in pretty much like new condition without and scratches/smudges/dirt and my Superdrive reads/burns cd and dvd's just fine.
I've created a massive disaster by trying to delete the Windows OS on my Mac. For the moment I'll skip all the details around how I got to this EPIC FAIL but the current condition of my Mac is this: when I restart it goes straight to the Windows OS which says "error loading operating system", when I press command+option+P+R it takes forever to load/and most of the time my Mac Installation DVD is simply sped out/. When it loads I'm trying to install the MAC OS all over again/dont care bout the data - its backed up/, it only shows the WIndows Partition which originally was FAT32 but I clicked options and I've changed it to Mac /which was the exact moment when "error loading system" appeared/ the Installation goes ok till the moment when it starts checking the Mac Install DVD and gives me an error and asks me to restart the installation. Now I'v tried with two different DVD's, cause it told me that I should check my DVD for fingerprints, stains, scratches, etc., which is not the case. And still does not work!I'm not very good at this in a first place, than I've already read 100 pages of how to fix it, and after all Im a woman!! I'm trying to keep my spirit up, but the truth is my whole life depends on that laptop / work,studies,family,friends/ please write me an email if have any idea how to fix it.
I just installed the plextor px-760A dvd drive in the second optical drive bay in my new mac pro. I have set the jumper to cable select. After rebooting, both drives now dont show up at all - the apple installed drive and my new one are now not available.
I opened up the machine again to check the cabling to make sure its all seated correctly, then rebooted again - no luck. the eject button cant even open the original drive. i did a system profile and there was no dvd drive listed. I have an eject button on my top menu bar which shows "No Drives" if you click on it.
I am sure a couple of folks here have installed the plextor. what have i missed?
Recently I installed Windows XP on my 13" macbook pro using bootcamp.
It worked fine, I am able to go on windows and see the windows screen and such, but when i tried connecting to the internet it wouldn't work(I tried a ethernet cable and WiFi)
It's not the internet itself because I am using the same method right now on os x. This just occurs when I go on the windows portion.
After installing osx 10.4.11, boot time has increased. Sometimes it will not boot at all, but when at main screen, folders and some applications cannot be opened. Ive been trying to install an older os, but it will not allow that. how to format and start over fresh.
I'm trying to fix my mother-in-law PowerMac G4.   She doesn't remember the admin password and I've been trying to reboot from the install cd. However, after pushing the "c" button. Nothing happens and it boots normally.Â
I've been using Office X for some time. I bought Office 2004 for Mac (Student Teacher Edition) from a friend who upgraded last May. I got the manual and the Product ID with it. I never got around to Installing it, but my hard drive failed recently and Apple replaced it, obviously without any of my stuff on it. So I decided if I have to reinstall all my software, I'd go ahead and use the Office 2004 as I don't think the Office X is fully compatible with Tiger (because of it's age and a few issues I've had with it over the past two years). Now, here's the problem. When I tried to install it, the product ID didn't work as the Product/CD Key.
I called my friend and she no longer has the box or the Product Key, and of course, the Product key from my Office X doesn't work. Is anyone familiar with Office 2004 for Mac? Is there any difference between the "retail" version and the Student/teacher version that would prevent the Product Key from one with working with the other? Would anyone be willing to share their Product key with me, to install the software so I can get back to work? I've already lost 4 days in time (and have to recreate 2 days worth of work that was done after my last file backup) and don't have time to deal with this stuff.
I just re-installed OSX 10.4 onto my old G4 iBook, and ever since I did the trackpad has stopped responding. When I plug in a USB mouse and check the system preferences under the keyboard/mouse panel I can't even see a trackpad listed, so it isn't being detected at all. I've tried re-installing the OS and it hasn't helped the problem. Ever since this happened The sound also doesn't seem to work anymore. I'm not sure what to do here, but it's pretty important that I get this fixed.
I've got a new 15" mbp that tonight I drove out with to the apple store. It was unable to mount external devices (iPods, external hd's, etc). The Genius ended up doing an archive install, saying that the mounting disks were running full throttle (making it EXTREMELY hot) but not succeeding; something in the OS had gotten stuck. So I left after he did an archive and install and tested my drive and iPod. Everything was working....I thought. Long drive back home. Open up my computer, try to adjust screen brightness...nothing. Try to adjust volume. Nothing. None of the function keys work. The eject button works, and strangely enough, the F12 button which should raise the volume also tries to eject. The pause button brings up the spaces window (showing all four spaces).
Very frustrated, could use some advice. Do I need to do an erase and install? These keys worked fine before the archive/install.
installed vista on my mac. When I boot into vista, a message saying " boot camp manager has stop working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. " the fn keys dont work. So I reinstalled boot camp and everything was fine until the next time I log into vista and same message pops up. Reinstalled again and same thing happens everytime.
I finally got around to installing Snow Leopard this weekend. After installing it, I get the following error message when trying to print to a Canon MP620. Tree connect failed (NT_STATUS_BAD_NETWORK_NAME) I then downloaded new drivers from Canon but still get the same error.
I am using a wired connection on the printer and the iMac. The printer still works on a separate XP machine.
I'm yet to figure out a pattern, but my Macbook Pro's keyboard will just stop working for several minutes at a time at random points in time...Even if I hit caps or num lock, they don't turn green. Sometimes it'll just happen once every few hours, but I was in class the other day and it would work for a minute, then not work for a few, than work for another minute, etc.
F3 and my right shift key have suddenly become play/pause keys in addition to their original functions. My F8 doesn't really do anything anymore and does not even light up in Keyboard View. I've tried to use Sizzling Keys, and reset Keyboard Shortcuts but the problem still persists. It seems to affect most music playing programs (iTunes and Vox. I have a Macbook Model 5,2 and Mac OS X 10.5.8
I recently spilled a protein shake over my mb pro. It spilled on the right side, but I quickly cleaned it with a wet tissue and dried it up. The problem, now, is that the illuminated keyboard isn't working..only a few random keys are working and the rest aren't..
What should I do? I have a 1 year warranty left, but I'm not sure it'll be covered.
I've noticed that occasionally my IR sensor stops working, and no longer responds to changing the volume, skipping the track in iTunes, etc. It can be resolved by going into Security prefs, disabling and re-enabling the IR sensor. This is annoying, however, and I'm wondering if it's a known issue that might be fixed.
I noticed that when you disable and re-enable the IR sensor, the last few remote button pushes you made while it was broken come through in a burst.
My Late 09 MacBook Air has been working a treat, not a spot of bother. All of a sudden, about 5 minutes ago, I've gone to go online to download some research papers (I'm *trying* to write an essay) and it won't load anything. Not even my Twitter app. It is connected to the right network, which is working absolutely fine on every other device in the house (windows computers, iphone etc). I've turned it off and on twice, the way that us clueless folk do.. now I don't know what to do.
I have tried a few thinsgs to try and get it to work including reseating the cables and that has not helped. As the title says, the back light works as i can see the screen getting blacker/greyer. Also the external output works as well. I'm not sure what to do at this point because I can't find information on an inverter board for the LCD, only the LED backlight think this could be an issue with the video card 8600M or is my LCD dead and I need a new one?
On a side note I have taken very good care of this computer, no drops, making sure the HDD is parked before moving, having it in a protective case, etc. The only difference is that I gave this to my sister to use and after a few days it died. (seems everything she gets that's electronic dies these days, meaning I probably shouldn't give her anything that has a circuit board in it....)
I have recently purchased a cricual m4 256 gb ssd for my MBP mid 09 15''.i have installed lion, on it is have reset the ram, enabled trim (also disabled trail an error), sms and so on apprently it is not working.Most of the time i experience beachballs and lags for 30 sec to 1 min. i find it very fustrating, so i unplugged the ssd and plugged it to my mac with a usb. it is now working fluent but not as fast as it could but with 36 mb/s in writing speed and read speed. compared to 10-15 mb/s before. i am aware that it should perform a lot faster. what is wrong? i know it is not the ssd.
Info: MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 2,53 Ghz 8 gb ram.
This is the first time i reinstalled(clean install) my snow leopard on my MBP. All went fine but then i inserted the disc for bundled application (which contains the ilife apps) but it keeps failing.Â
It says that "the installation failed. the installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. contact the software manufacturer for assistance".Â
I've also done my research on this matter. I've gone thru a few steps i tried as below without success:Â
1)normal install - fail
2)repair permission - fail
3)install in safe mode - fail
4) install using another admin acc - fail
5) made an image out of the disc and install - fail
6) used a similar disc(my dad's since we have identical version) - fai
7)updated my system and install - fail
8) reinstall the mac - failÂ
i cant think of any other solution as im a bit noob when it comes to mac. is there any other things i could try before taking it Apple?
