running os x 10.0.3 cheetah

os x cheetah does not have the more information option on about this mac. I have to go to system profiler through applications>utilities>system profiler and then there are arrows to click on that show info and I do not see those hardware, power, hardware configurations

Unless I put it in sleep manually

Ok we might be on to something here with this clamshell with a sleep problem. When I close the lid it will not go to sleep. I opened energy preferences and made adjustments and it still will not sleep unless I manually put it in sleep mode. This is weird because all it does is sleep when the...

Not to sound too stupid here VirtualTracy but where in system profiler would it say that? I looked everywhere and I do not see anything.

Let me go and take a look, interesting. I will post my findings

Its running cheetah fine as long as no battery in installed. Ran it all night with no issues. As soon as i pop the battery in it goes to sleep. And id I try to install os 9 as soon as it is ready to install it goes to sleep. If I had caused damage why would it take a os x 10.0.3 cheetah install...

Hi guys I have a very strange problem here. I have 2 clamshells and the indigo clamshell is making me want to smash it,lol. I really love them don't get me wrong but I AM SO angry with it. I changed the hard drive and it would not go past the grey apple screen. So I tried loading os 9 back on...

ok guys I finally got os 9 installed and working great,. Here is my problem. I went to apple website downloaded the firmware update and when I try to open the .smi file it says can not open no application is selected to open this file.

Yea I am about 2 hours from a apple dealer but I did buy a retail os 9 on ebay for $27 lot more then I wanted to pay!! Why are they charging so much for such an old os must be because of people like me, ;-)

Yea its a project but still fun. I guess my next move here is to buy the os 9 cd and then go from there. Thanks for your help and I will update this post and keep you guys informed

I can not get past the blinking ? mark to boot back into os x tiger to check and see about the drivers for os 9. Also yea I am sure I have the old firmware I meant to upgrade the firmware before I added the memory and changed the hd with tiger on it but forgot. I know the old firmware does not...

Also Is there any other way to get past the blinking question mark? Or just the os 9 disk

Sadly I no longer have that drive! Am I going to have to buy a os 9 install cd? I can get a os 9.2 from ebay.

I forgot to mention that the ibook had a 10gb hard drive that had os 9.1 on it. when I changed the hard drive to a 30gb it already had 10.4.11 tiger on it. So thats how I upgraded to tiger. The hard drive came out of a ibook g4. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a ibook g3 clamshell 576mb ram 366mhz 30gb hd. I added the hard drive and upgraded the memory and then forgot to update the firmware before I installed os x tiger. So I keep getting kernal panics because the firmware is not upgraded. Like a fool when I upgraded to tiger I erased os 9 to...
