Try waiting for 15 min(Like Deltamac said, USB 1.1 is not the best transfering bus). Also, are you trying to boot from the restore discs or the retail OS 9 disc? This is vital to what we are talking about!

Hello. Yesterday, I upgraded my iMac G3(Summer 2001, latest one) to Mac OS X 10.3 Panther. Every thing works perfectly. So I decided now it's ready for getting on the internet. This guy gave me all his Mac software. In there, was an installation disc for Microsoft Office for Mac 2004. I...

Thanks! It turned out my iMac cannot boot from OS9.1, except from the grey discs. I found a disc and installed my firmware and now I'm on OS X 10.3 Panther!

I've got it! Did you install Mac OS 9 Drivers while installing OS X? Here's how you do it: 1.Turn on your iMac 2. Insert your Mac OS X CD(10.2 and up) and hold down C 3.The installer will open. Choose your language and click continue. 4. When you get to the welcome screen, go up to the...

Hello. Today, I got several old Mac OSes(X10.2-10.3) OS 9.1 OS 8.6, OS 8.1, And a ton of system 7 disks, even a Mac OS 3 floppy! Well, as you know, I need Mac OS 9 to update my iMac G3's firmware. I put the disc(Which I'm pretty sure it's a retail, since the PDF said nothing about having another...

Well, Illegal downloading caused the problem, huh? Well, I hope you know that not paying and downloading illegally is bad. Now we have to somehow try to pinpoint the problem. Did the battery fix the problem?

Wait, so you just did it with the same results?

Just do the things that triggered it. Hopefully this will be the end of it

Yeah, turn it off, remove the battery, plug in the AC adapter, examine the battery, turn on th ecomputer and test.

Ok. So you just don't want to deal with it? I don't want to sound mean but Apple will make you pay a buttload of money to fix it! So now I'll let you decide: Do the battery experiment yourself, or have apple make you pay a lot of money and tell you the battery's the problem? You can run the...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QRTTTXIK0I There's a video on how to remove the battery. C'mon! This is a simple task! it's not like you have the no visible battery design! Anyway, here's the other solution I thought of: If you don't have your grey MacBook discs, really your only DIY way...

Oh yeah, you need a backup drive for the new time machine to work! This is our final chance to fix it before we give it to apple. Before we continue, I need to know a few things: Did you buy the Macbook brand new or used? Did it come with some grey discs? All Macs have a special set of...

Yes, if you did a direct upgrade. If you formatted the HD(erased it), it won't.

you can try time machine(sort of like System Restore for windows but all GUI-Fied and Mac-y) to set the time back to before you installed lion to see if that fixes the problem. Did you download Lion legally or illegally(just a question. Not meant to be offensive)?

No she dosen't:( But I went on craigslist and found a copy of 9.2 for 20 bucks in my area! I'm going to call tomorrow, but I'm very happy:)

This might sound weird, but try putting in your mac restore discs( Grey discs with the name macbook and restore disc 1 etc.) and see if the mouse does anything weird when you screw around with it. Also, try repairing your mac OS X install using disk first aid in the restore discs or any Mac OS...

I read that after a while, The Slot-Loading drives wind down after years of use( mine was used for a year and then went to SF, then back here, then in mt attic). Go to walmart and buy an external USB drive. This is the quick solution, or you can 200 bucks to get a FireWire external disk drive(I...

ALSO, I found another solution! Go into open firmware mode. Type in cd boot:,\\tbxi hit return NOTE: this will only work if the iMac already has an OS on it! if it does not, you will need to get a external Drive[ it would be better to get a firewire drive,but USBs are cheaper but will be...

I was out, an it came to me: is that a retail CD of mac OS 9? the way: If it's grey and says the name of the computer(iBook, PowerBook, iMac,etc) it was meant for that kind of computer. If it has an orange 9 on it, it's a retail version It's possible that the grey CDs say iMac, but mean a...

Have you tried setting the Mac OS 9 disc as the startup disc? Here's how you do it: Go to system settings Click on startup disc( On OS X 10.1 it at the top in the bar, but i'm not sure for anything after that) Make sure the disc is inserted If it's bootable, it will show up next to the OS...
