Adding Mac vs. 9 to OSX

George Kimery · From: Limestone, TN, USA

I have some programs that I have got used to and like that only run on my old Mac vs. 9.1, but will not work on my OSX 10.4. I have an installation disc with 9.1 on it. Can I install 9.1 onto the OSX system without screwing everything up on my computer?

Also, still have only able to get iTunes to burn one disc on my OSX. Just keep getting the message :Disc Burner or software not found." I found something on the internet that says to un-install anything to do with iTunes and Quick time, then try downloading a fresh copy of iTunes. This sounds risky to me and besides, I don't know how to "un-install" something. Any comments or help?

Check in System Preferences(icon in the Dock)/Startup Disk to see if Classic is installed. If it is, you can press the X key during bootup to select which OS to boot from.

If you have an Intel Mac, Classic (OS9) won't run on it. If it's a PowerPC you might be able to install the Classic environment from the installation disk.

You could probably buy an old Mac with OS9 real cheap.

Thanks, Cal. I will do what you suggested. However, I do have a working old Mac with 9.1 on it, so I will probably just use it. I was just trying to get everything onto my OS X computer for the convience of having everything all together in one place for printing and e-mail purposes.

George, if you have those computers networked together that should simplify things.
