Reporting back my final report. LOL When trying to run the installer from my thumb drive after choosing 'reinstall' I got an error that said "The recovery server could not be contacted". I tried restarting, removing the thumb and reinstalling, etc, but no luck. So I decided to boot from the USB...

Thank you soooooomuch! That worked! I am grateful for your help. :) I was able to download the install to the USB. Now Im going to restart from the USB and try to do a 'reinstall' of my system. Fingers crossed. LOL Thank you all!

For some reason the High Sierra I downloaded from the link says its 5.6Gig. But when I try to put it on a 64Gig thumb drive it says "The item “Install macOS High Sierra” can’t be copied because it is too large for the volume’s format." Anyone have any insight to this? Ive tried like 3 different...

Thank you!!!! :cool:

DeltaMac can you please elaborate on this? Are you saying I can run the installer/updater over my existing 10.13.6 and it keeps all of my files, preferences, etc? Ive never done this so I just want to make sure I understand. Thanks again for the help

Thank you soooooo much! I downloaded the High Sierra Installer and will put it on a thumb drive now.

Crap I just realized I dont have a bootable 10.13.6. I got this drive from an Mac Pro tower I purchased on Ebay. Doh! I guess Ill see if I can get a thumb 10.13.6 on Ebay. FML

Itunes was updated as far as it would go for High Sierra which was 12.8.3. After that it wouldnt offer an update anymore. Ive never done a 're-install' of my OS. I didnt know you could do that. I always wiped my HD clean first before installing. I will research it a bit. Thanks for the info!

I read through the link and Ive already tried all of those solutions. I never updated iTunes, it just did this for no reason one day. Anyone else have any other insights? I use iTunes daily to listen to music so this is REALLY cramping my style. LOL Help!

Thank you for the info!

Hello! I search first and couldnt find anything on this. My itunes wont open because an error comes up that says its "Being Updated". I never updated anything. Im running 10.13.6 OS and iTunes version 12.8.3. Ive never had a problem with anything before. Ive tried restarting, running disk...

Yes I use it all the time. I currently use it on a Mac Pro Tower from 2012 w/ 10.13.6. I can only upgrade to 10.14 with this hardware. Im thinking of getting a newer laptop but still want to be able to launch this older OS to use my Music production and Video editing software. I will check...

Hello! Im wondering if I can launch Mac OSX 10.7.5 from my bootable external drive from a newer Mac laptop? I tried researching but I keep getting mixed answers. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you,

Thanks for the info..I got it and it worked perfect! Thanks again

Hello! I have an older Mac Pro running 10.6.8. I am looking at getting an external HD so I can back it all up before upgrading my OS. All of the external drives I find say they need a minimum of 10.7 to be compatible? Im looking at this one now...

Hello all! (I searched this site for a while reading a bunch of stuff, but i never found anything about buying used Macs and comparing them to others) I am in the market for a used Mac Pro. Basically i would like to get the most for my money (obviously) but i have some questions on...

I did it and it didnt change it. it took about 15 min for it to complete the rebuild. Any other ideas? Thanks,

Sorry i mised your reply...LOL Im not sure how it is formattd? I will look in the book and post back.. When you say mount, you mean start up the external drive,(thats the only periphial)then start up the G4 with OS9, and hold apple+option while it boosts? Just making sure... Thanks for...

Thanks for the reply..... But i didnt say anything about OSX. I dont even have OS9 and OSX on the same machine? So how did it do this? I would literally have to move the files from the G4 with OS9 to the G4 with OSX to try out your idea. Is there anyway to do this in OS9? I still just...
