startup

Just wondering if there is a way to use my G5 Software Install Disks to install Tiger on my G4 Powerbook...I could have sworn I was able to do it before, but with these disks I get a software cannot be installed error.... Is there a way around this? Thanks in advance... :confused:

Good Afternoon, I went on a offshore tuna and marlin fishing trip last week, when i came back home, i found a small childrens magnet ontop of my powerbook. I feared this was due to my siblings fooling around. Anyways, i have a 857mhz Powerbook G4 12 inch. When i start it up the screen...

When I startup my iMac G4 (OS 10.3.9) I get the apple sign and then a blank, blue screen for about 15 minutes before I can log in. After the computer is up, everything seems ok. So far I have run Disk Utility several times in order to repair the disk and fix the permissions. I have also used...

Can anyone help me. I am a Mac newbie who has bought a Mac Mini and have begun to learn the way of the Mac. Today when I fired up the Mac the apple boot screen and user login window was at a different resolution (maybe 640 X 480 or 800 x 600). When I login it reverts to its user specified of...

Hello, How would i go about finding out the system startup items? I use the tool to set my user startup items(what file does it modify?), but i would like to which file has the system startup ones(like /etc/rc.d on *NIX). Reason why i ask, is because Office 2004 has a Database Daemon...

Hello All! I am not only new to this forum but also to OS X Server. I have what I hope to be an easy question to answer. Right now I am running OSX Server 10.4. I am using it primarily for file services for both mac and windows machines on our network. I would like Windows Services to...

System is 10.3.9, 1gb ram G4 quicksilver. Had been getting slow and slower on startup ( According to the user ) up to 5 mins on a restart till desktop was active. Installed AutomountMaker ( http://jm.marino.free.fr/SMacAutomountMaker.html) on this and 15 other OSX workstations. All...

Take a look at the attached file... that happens when attempting to startup from a Panther CD from a retail box. Here's exactly what happens: • Insert the Mac OS X install disk 1 • Go to Startup Disk and select it... Restart • Machine restarts, playing familiar startup chime • Wait a few...

OK, i'm a newbie here so don't be too harsh. I've got 10.3.9 installed. No problems there. Yes, the os 9 driver options were checked on install. I'm trying desperatly to get os 9 installed. I have 9.1., 9.2 on it's way. I have the hardware test CD in the drive. On boot holding the C key I get...

Excuse me if I'm being a bit dim, but how can you configure Tiger to automatically connect to a networked drive at startup? I'm sure there used to be a check box somewhere to do this, but can I find one anywhere ?? :confused:

location: University of California, San Diego System: iMac G5 20" OS: 10.3 problems: top taskbar keep disappearing and appearing after started up; can't see files, icons, etc on desktop assumption: finder crashed? tried: 1. safeboot - couldn't do it 2. options v and c - no change...

So, I upgraded to Tiger (not a clean install, mind you) - and now, every time I restart my machine, all the settings are lost. The dock is in the wrong place (back in the standard bottom slot - I always put mine to the left), and it loses items that I had in the dock - it's only the standard...

I'm running Filemaker Pro on an XServer, and want to open a database file automatically on startup, so it can be shared through filemaker. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks

Hi everyone, just copying the folders "System", "Users", "Library" and "Documents" from the current startup disk to another disk doesn't make that disk a second startup disk, right? Anyway, that disk isn't shown in the System Preferences as a valid system disk. How can I frequently make a...

This is *not* a question about getting a program to automatically launch when a user logs in. I know how to do this and it isn't what I'm after. What I am looking for is a way to get programs to run when the computer is booted and no user has logged in yet. I've got a few background programs...

I have a fairly new iBook running OSX 10.3.8 and since the middle of last week, startup has become a problem. When the machine has booted up to the point that you can see the desktop colour but before the icons load a spinning beanball appears in the top left corner and then sits there for up...

I scheduled a startup, but it was not saved. When I reopened system preferences:energy saver:schedule everything had reverted to 0:00:00 and the check boxes are cleared. I trashed energy saver prefs from both the system and user prefs for troubleshooting. Interestingly enough.... no new...

Hi guys, I've been having a few panther woes today, hopefully someone here can help! Last night when I got home I tried to wake up my iBook from sleepy mode, but it would only give me a black screen. Everytime I pressed a key it would beep angrily at me. This lasted for about 10 minutes until I...

I installed hp printer software on my PB and every time I log on I find an icon for Hp Director in the Dock. I've gone to my startup items and removed it, but this seems not to have worked. Is there anything else I can edit to fix this?
