I have an iMac G4 800 17 inch that I'm wanting to run solely OS9. When starting up from an OS9 CD the screen goes to blank part way through start up. I've never seen this before. Has anyone else experienced it?? Starting OSX works perfectly. I've tried setting different screen resolutions each time without success. Disk is formatted with OS9 driver. Any ideas?
-
best thing to do is booth with the AHT apple hardware test cd -
the diagnostics on that cd are for diagnosing such problems fast!
-
Thanks bud. I don't have that CD for this machine. Do u know where an image might be found?

doing the google search:
"macintoshgarden.org aht imac" yields the result: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/apple-hardware-test-cds
Apple Hardware Test (iMac/eMac) - Size 11 MB
AHT for iMac Version 1.2.2, for use with iMac (Summer 2000), iMac (Early 2001), iMac ( Summer 2001), iMac (Flat Panel) , eMac, and iMac (17-inch flat panel). Note: The parenthetical product descriptions (Summer 2000) and (Summer 2001) refer to the summer of the Northern Hemisphere. >
so i think u can use either:
AHTiMac_122.ZIP: AHT for iMac v1.2.2
or
AHTiMac_201.ZIP: AHT for iMac v2.0.1
good luck! let us know how u make out!

i also have the restore discs for this mac posted on my mediafire account:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/yn2amtrfasm3s/2002_imacG4
if u want to download those + burn them aswell u would have all of the original install media that came with the machine
-
The factory images!! Thanks heaps. That's awesome. Diagnostics 1.2.2 works. I ran the extended test & it gave the iMac a clean bill of health which is good to know. Unfortunately it offered no remedy. I ran an OS9 install disk after that & it did the same thing. During start up it gets as far as the window with the progress bar & screen goes blank immediately after that.
-
i would suggest u download the factory images + do a reset/install and go from there! 8)
i think it might just need the first 3 cd images.. disc 4 might be unneccessary i forget tho
-
It seems that your CD-ROM drive or boot CD media are damaged.
You can burn and try this one:

It's just a 128Mb disk image download.

I was able to start up in OS9 off "The Well Tempered Mac" CD. [Love the JS Bach reference btw] I've tried several other OS9 CD's including the restore disks & this is the only one that works so far. I see there's a few utilities on there. I might take a look around. Very much appreciate your help!!!
There's another small issue with this iMac. There is no sound from the onboard speakers & on start up a pop up window tells me, "The device plugged into the Apple speaker minijack cannot be recognised." Do u think it's possible there's a broken off plug in there? I get a bit nervous opening these things up.
-
I have a 700 Mhz iMac G4 and when it boots with this System folder ."The Well Tempered Mac" :) it has the same issue with the Apple Pro Speaker, so maybe there is something wrong with this system folder. I haven't paid much attention to this until now (I have 7 or 8 G4s and a bunch of other Macs -afro- ) Any way this is a minimal startup system to allow some utilities to run. Once tested, You should try to Install a full System and see if the problem persist.

this same issue was experienced by another user baraktorvan?? just recently but i believe he was using an osx only version of the g4 imac in combination with the imic rom version of os9 install for "unsupported macs" that we offere here..
either that or u are attemtping to plug in normal speakers into a jack that is only meant for "Digital" speakers and its not an analog jack at all?

Wow...just heard "When i Fall in Love".
What a great performance and sound too!
-
The bar was set ridiculously high for that tune by Nat Cole. The rest of us just have to try our best. haha
It's a stunning tune that deserves respect. I just hope I did Nat a little bit of justice with that version.
Thanks heaps!
-
I just knew yesterday that Nat king Cole was a pianist....I only know him as a singer from his popular album singing in Spain...forgive me all !

The same popup opens [at start up] in OSX & OS9. The Apple provided speakers nor the built in speaker works, but if I plug in a headphone output or something USB like an MBox sound is achievable that way & the popup disappears. Is that similar to the other users experience? I'm not familiar with that software you mentioned. What's that? I'm not too worried about it. Just wondered if you knew of a quick fix.
It's a weird issue.
Perhaps it is a cables and connectors issue. ( my wife's little cat tried to eat the Por speakers cables twice ) >:(
BTW here's a couple of my tunes: www.malcolmbishop.co.nz
This is is just some piano stuff. Electronic is kept somewhere else.
Very appreciative of your help! I owe u a virtual beer
Yes, it's a great performance. I like "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" especially.
Here I have posted some of my early works. The first one it is a simple piano tune that is waiting for a pianist to bring it "a new life" :)

Haha, Go, the cat! I'll have a play with your song but it might might be a week or 2.
OK, great. ;D
I can provide you the score, but it's so simple that may be you don't need it.

Haha, Go, the cat! I'll have a play with your song but it might might be a week or 2. Here's my efforts of the night so far. It's the last minute of something much longer for feature film. I'm not supposed to post this because of licence but you won't tell anyone aye. lol
Great. I like that possible collaboration in our forum. Definitly something i would like to see more often here... 8)
Regarding your "nightshift" session it sounds like an opener to a serie!
I like the "sequenced" sound but I think the drums needs improvement, sounds too much
of a keyboard player drumming. For me the style of these drums doesn't fit to the more "techno" sound.
But i really appreciate that you are posting your music "in progress"!
EDIT:
I just relistened to it and whats bothering me is actually the added second bassdrum at the end.The drumloop is ok. ;)

Yes, it is really interesting ;D
Let's see how it goes :)
Flick us through the score. It all helps.

Hey 'Money Bags'... looking' forward to your collaboration with MacTron... very cool!! ;D Thanks for posting the 'secret' Hollywood film music too... that was fun to listen to, even if the fake drums were screwed up... I'm sure it will be awesome by the time the feature film is released... I just hope it's one of those 3D deals as I LOVE wearing those cool glasses!! 8) Glad the experts here were able to help with your iMac too... 'OS9Lives' is the BEST!!!!!

mrHappy surely wasnt trying to be rude.. that would be very much out of character. otherwise we would have to change his name to MrRude

Gentlemen, thank you for your help with my G4. I wish you well in future endeavors.

D3lky28...
Sorry you took my response as an insult... I did NOT intend it as an insult but I WAS being, what I would consider 'silly', as I was sipping the late night adult beverage!
HOWEVER...
It did strike me as a bit funny that you came here looking for help, which the great people here tried to provide... You attached some music that you were working on for people here to check out, then after Philgood fell all over himself complimenting you (and for good reason as you sound like a VERY talented musician!)... He offered you what he seemed to feel was a 'constructive criticism'... In response to that you had to 'Big Time' him with the Hollywood producer, I make more money than you with this music so shut up kind of mentality! The people around here usually lean more to the humble side SOOO... I'm sorry, it just struck me as funny, causing me to post my 'silly' response. I know nothing about NZ so a communication issue could be in play here too.
WHAT I DO NOT WANT is to in any way jeopardize any type of collaboration between you and MacTron (who is held in VERY high regard around here) or with anyone else for that matter, and will apologize profusely is that's the case!!
So here's where I'd LIKE to leave it... I'm extending a hearty 'virtual hand shake' to you and saying, "Welcome to OS9Lives"!
-
I have to say that of course it was meant as a comment. I'm not happy of how I expressed it because it leaves room for mis-interpretation. sorry for that.
learned the lesson.
let's get back to fun...

Yes by all means!😁

Well honestly if you open the door you are asking for it. Dont come here and brag about money we all do that for fun and straight up our time is costly too. We can can keep it nice or we just hit the shit pile and talk about money.
king kongs soundtrack wasnt made on a g3 by some dude. Thats money right there. Your songs wouldnt even knock anybody from the london symphony orchestra out of there socks, send it to simon he will tell you how good it is.
-
PS. Might want to check your intel on the King Kong thing. I was involved in that project.
-
Yeah me too i supplied the turds
-
Man, you guys play rough, D3lky28 has asked to be deleted from the Forum and is now "Logged Out"
Guess I missed all the action in this thread...
-
Yeah DieHard... where ya been?? Turn your back for a minute and look what happens!! ;D
I tried to reel it back in but we've had a bit of 'seepage'... "Cleanup, isle 13"...

""Clean up on aisle <insert
number>" is an internet
forum meme. It usually
means that there is a post
that requires the attention
of a moderator.
"13" is chosen as that is
the number that is
considered 'unlucky' / to be
associated with evil."
Never heard that one.
Does is mean this ?

guys.. this is very unfortunate...
i dont like seeing this kind of thing happening here..
ive given alot of my time + energy to this place. i always do my best to welcome complete strangers here, and help them. i never judge them. i never respond negatively or with attitude. some of u consistantly show "edginesss" in how u communicate here that i choose to ignore but when it comes to things unfolding like this its making it hard to ignore.
regardless of what the guy said .. let him be proud of himself..
i didnt see any comments about money at all.. he said that he was involved with doing work for a client + really shoudlnt be sharing but he wanted to share his work obviously because he was proud.. really .. tbh i usually find mrhappy to be in great spirits + very nice to people here, but mr happy i have to say im really not impressed by how u commented here man.... like i said it is pretty out of character. maybe u should lay off the booze from now on when browsing the forum.. gosh
i find comfort in the fact that i have my own site and i can easily fall back and leave this place completely and 'retreat' back to my own site where im in control but i hope things dont come to that.
i think delkey overreacted a bit but artists can be very sensitive to negative energy from other people.. i can definately relate to that and if i were in his position i would probably have reacted in a similar way.. the world is a shitty place when everywhere u turn people are rude + obnoxious.. this place is not meant to be that way.. regardless of what he said about his work being for a film or not.. like i said let him be proud - he didnt talk about money AT ALL. not once.. unless he edited his comment before i saw??
on top of all that u guys probably ruined mactrons chance to collaborate with the guy aswell.. and i believe u owe mactron a big apology.
-
No i think the tune was right. That was arrogance asking for it.you dont come here to tell people you are beyond compare. Happy was absolutly right and i back him up. Btw if you have noticed something this is the usa and in that case the film and music industry is big in lawsuits. He just violated a contract if this is not just bullshit. I think mrhappy was the first one to notice.
and yes he cleaned up after himself.
-
the guy wasnt from the USA he was from New Zealand
and honestly something is not quite right if u guys choose to take offense so easily to a guy you dont even know, who is commenting on his own work. he did not ask you to make a comparison of any kind. he did not mention money. he shared his composition which was a brave thing for an artist to do in the first place. for you to take offense to someone else because he mentioned the fact that he is doing it professionally under contract is not right.
-
I believe he is a professional bullshitter. I saw the website with his tracks for sale. And it doesnt matter where you are if you have a contract you are bound to it. This includes confidential work on a project.
delete this whole thing here and the next time i catch him bragging i take a screenshot for you and judge him harder.
here is some info how its done and pay close attention when they mention the amount of tracks they working with at the same time.

thats not a little garage project with a g4 as the center. mrhappy your comment still cracks me up :D
-

Yes, maybe. It's not easy that a great musician like D3lky28 take a novice score like mine, probably D3lky28 can improve this song alot.
I don't really understand what happened here, may be my limited English skills ...
The whole forum usually have more value than the puntual personal collisions ... I'll try to contact him in a few days...

Mactron, i'm sorry. Hope it will be a Happy-end...
