Re: OT: Is Gmail Good Enough?
Bruce. What ipod are you using gmail on. I just bought a 120GB Classic and I want to know if I can use it with gmail and other applications. The only downside to gmail is that the chat feature disconnects quite often, and you need to have gmail open to chat, but other than that gmail is great.

Re: How to Install Classic OS 9 Support in OS 10.3
On Feb 19, 2009, at 5:09 PM, imac_chips99 wrote: How to Install Classic OS 9 Support in OS 10.3 Classic support is different from booting in OS 9. Classic doe snot require the OS 9 disk drivers, but only runs as a process under OS X. Booting requires the OS 9 disk drivers to be installed. I had the MAC 10.3 install format the drive and do a fresh install but I lost MAC OS 9. How can I install MAC OS 9 on the same partition as 10.3? Can I just copy a backup of my system folder and rename it something like system9? IF you want to boot into OS 9: It all depends on how you installed OS X. If it was a fresh install, ie: erase the hard drive and install OS X, sad to say, I suspect you're going to have to do it again, and this time, when you reformat the drive, check the little box at the bottom of that dialog box to Install OS 9 drivers, otherwise OS 9 cannot find the hard drive. Once that's done, simply boot from your OS 9 disk and install as usual, just don't reformat the drive again! :-) Once OS 9 is installed, how can I have the computer bootup in just OS 9 without X running? Two ways: In either OS, go into System Preferences/Startup disk or control panels/startup disk, and select the OS 9 system folder for booting. Alternatively you can hold down the option key while booting until you're given the choice of systems to boot from. You can get OS 9.2.2 for Classic use for free without having to reformat the disk by following these excellent instructions: http://www.simonroyal.co.uk/2009/02/get-os-922-for-free.html How can I tell in 10.3 exactly what version Firmware I have? I'm told 10.3 can work without the correct updated firmware but would have some problems with external drives, etc. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

Re: How to Install Classic OS 9 Support in OS 10.3
The way I installed Classic support on my PowerBook was by downloading the Apple OS 9 netboot image. This is actually a fully functional OS 9 install. Once downloaded, use Pacifist to extract the system folder. Then copy that to the root of your hard drive. Use the Classic PrefPane within System Preferences to select that folder for classic. It is already the right version (9.2.2.) Then, you'll have a fully functional OS 9 install, that can be used for classic, or even booting into. But if you do boot into it, you have to enter the user name NBUser and netboot as the password. The link to that is here: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120243 Good luck! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.
