Power Mac G5 :: Classic Won't Start And Open Apps
Oct 12, 2007
I still have a couple of OLD apps that require System 9. When I attempt to open either of them I get the "Classic is starting" progress bar, but it never quite finishes. I can start Classic okay with extensions off but then I can't use the printer, and my old copy of Photoshop Elements won't load no matter what I try. I get an error message when I try to run "Install Applications and Classic Support" from my installation disk. I really don't want to part with the $$ for System 10.4 AND two new pieces of software right now.

I recently purchased a new hard drive and restored my old hard drive from my Time Machine back up. Everything is fine except that I can't open any applications from the application folder. Is there anything else I need to do in order to use my applications?

I have a second G5 with 10.3 that I would like to upgrade to 10.4. Will this affect the functionality of Classic mode? I use it for Typestyler. Their OSX version is funky.

I have a macbook with OS X tiger. Since a week some apps don't open anymore.
When I click on them their icon appears in the dock, it bounces a couple of times and it closes. Some still work. Apps like firefox, iMovie, iDvd, Football manger 08 and some others work. But iTunes, Safari, Mail and some others don't work.
Could it be a problem with the code the app is written with?

I tried to install some apps requiring Apple's X11 like wireshark and the gimp compiling them with macports. The problem is that they're not starting. They simply don't start. I tried running them from the terminal but I get no error. I just formatted my partition so this is a fresh system, but before these same apps used to work correctly. The first time I try to run gimp I get a message saying I don't have Apple's X11, then I run it and the next time I start gimp it simply doesn't start.

How do I stop intrusive apps from running at startup/login? I checked both libraries > StartupItems and System > StartupItems.
Long version + rambling:
So there is this intrusive app that I installed, and it keeps adding a folder in my Documents folder. Everytime I delete it, it comes back on startup.
I thought it would be much easier to find the file responsible for starting this app on startup, but I was disappointed. But I'm betting it's not as difficult as searching the Windows registry.
Anyway, it's not among the 'login' items, and I searched the main Library, and my User Library, and even the System's 'startup' folders, and found nothing. So what's the deal?
Before you make any accusations, the app I'm using is Parallels, and yeah, there's probably some preference I could change to stop it from doing that, but I would like to do this manually, and learn more about how OS X works. I want to stop the app from running without my permission when I log in. (I'm stubborn, and want to show this app who's boss around here!)
I'm thankful that in OS X, apps are much less intrusive than Windows ones, and they're only intrusive when I give them my password, from my experience at least. Am I right? But goodness I hate how intrusiveness followed me here from Windows. It would have been a deal breaker, had I known how many files (hidden or otherwise) it was going to scatter across my tidy Mac.

I have the Adobe CS6 Master collection and a mid 2012 Mac Pro with 64 GB of RAM, 2 TB disc space and most importantly, 2 3.06Ghz processors with 12 cores total. And yet a 2 minute video will take up to 5 hours to render. It's simple animation. It's regular HD 720p. This is crazy!Â
I noticed that when the file is being rendered the computer will stay at an idle 82% with cpu....well ****. I need that power to get on the rodeo.

Ok, I know I've had 2 discussions here already but it still doesn't make sense to me. Everything says its a bad Logic Board. Ok, Power Mac A1074 2.0 DP It hangs at white screen w/ grey apple logo and no spinning wheel. I have ran the Apple hardware diagnostics disc several tims. Everything comes back that all hard ware is GOOD. I try and run the OS diagnostics on the same disc and it hangs at the white screen/grey apple logo. I have replaced the hard drive and started it holding 'option"it reads the Apple OS Install disc (just as it reads the hardware diagnostic disc just fine) when I try to boot from the install disc it again hangs at the white screen/grey apple logo with no spinning wheel.

I have a 1.8GHz G5 that will just not boot up. When I start it I get the grey screen with the Apple logo and nothing else. The fan then fires up and up. Have tried starting it in Safeboot mode. In this mode I can hear the initial chime and some activity for about 5-6 secs and then nothing. I have an extra 2GB of Kingston RAM in the machine that I put in a couple of years ago and apart from this nothing has changed apart from upgrading the OS's.

I have a g3 dual usb ibook that has a DVD/CD drive, 640 ram and a firewire port. I just bought a G4 800 mhz tower that has a gig of ram, but it does not have DVD drive (it's a cdrw only). My Ilife install disk is a DVD, is there anyway to use the DVD drive on my ibook to install software onto the G4 tower? Both devices have firewire but if possible I would like to use an ethernet cable connection between the two. I dont have the correct firewire cable(it's expensive).
A second question is i an os 10.3 on my ibook and 10.4 on my G4 tower. Is there a easy way to transfer all my files, settings, ect... from the ibook to the G4 tower? I don have the osx 10.4 install discs either (if that matters).

It was checked with another power cord too, no power at all. The battery has been replaced, still no luck. Who can repair it? I called a guy, he said to change the logic board that "could be" the problem is too expensive. Advice: donate to Salvation army......Nice, right.? I love this machine, even I have a brand new iMac, iPad, PowerBook, u name it! but it runs the Classic and I have all my files written by this op.. System.

I will start up my G5 and I hear the chime but at that point my CRD monitors never come on. The lights on my USB hub don't light up, either. Then my G5 fans rev up really high. I have to hold down the power button to get it to shut off, then after waiting around 10 seconds I'll try to turn it on again. After several times of repeating this process, my monitors finally kick on, the USB hub lights up and all is fine for the rest of the day. But it's really aggravating having to do this up to five times to get things going. It's like the G5 isn't communicating to the monitors or the USB hub.
Could this be a motherboard issue? It shouldn't be a power issue, as the only thing plugged into my battery backup APC is the tower itself. I'm at a loss here...

I received a semi working powerMac G4 Cube from a freecycle community, and while initially it worked fine, I had to dissemble the unit to replace the dvd drive which had a dvd stuck in it. I used one from a second unit that I was also given and I think the dvd is also bad , as placing the 'software installer', which I presume is OS9, causes dvd unit to make what sounds like spinning noise ( Does not sound to me like its reading anything ), and then after a few seconds it spits it right back out, and this happens everytime.Before I dissembled the unit, the cube at least booted into OS9 just fine, yet I am sure I put everything back properly. I might have chosen a bad setting in system perferences I suppose, and if so is there a fix short of getting a new dvd unit so I can reinstall OS 9 ? Also, I did try 'control' while startup, and it takes me to a very odd screen, with a icon for 'reload' ( browser icon similarity ) , or what looks like a right arrow. Choosing either does nothing, short of showing what looks like a watch moving in circular fashion.

I have my HP all-in-one connected to an 802.11g Airport Extreme via ethernet, and through Bonjour I've been printing to it from a Core Duo Mac mini, and a 12" and 15" Powerbook. However, all of a sudden every single application on my three computers "unexpectedly quits" when I go to File>Print or hit command-P. I can't print anything! The only thing I can think of that might have gone wrong is maybe something happened with the 10.4.10 update and the printer drivers?

I have just installed SL on a system with Tiger on it. It installs fine, and looks to be OK. But when trying to open up any program like MAIL, SAFARI or even Software update it causes an error. Does anyone have any idea of how I could fix this problem. I am sure there is a way, I just don't know it.
