I am not familiar with Xtools or whatever it is called but I read somewhere there are 'packages' that restore the original factory settings.
And I'm not the only one facing this problem as can be seen from postings on various forums. So, is there a way to restore the original iMac software or set the machine back to factory default? You would think Apple would have covered this situation with a simple straight forward way to fix this.
IMAC OS REINSTALL DOESNT WORK INSTALL
But I need to install OS9 on my iMac as well because I have some software packages that only run on OS9 eg SoundEdit 16. Now before some of you start saying I should invest in new equipment, this is not my only mac, I also have a 2010 Macbook Pro. I have repeatedly erased and formatted the HD to install OS9 in various ways but so far no luck.
IMAC OS REINSTALL DOESNT WORK UPDATE
I even have the OS9.2 update disc (orange '9' on white cd) and the iMac does not recognise that either. The iMac does not recognise the original (orange cds)software restore or install discs that came with the machine. (Now before the criticism starts flooding in, yes, I know now that this was stupid and wreckless.) However, because my HD became full over the years with various software packages and versions affecting performance, I erased the entire HD and formatted it (Extended/HFS+ with OS9 drivers) to do a clean install of both OS9 and OSX. I had both OS9 and OSX all running perfectly. I later installed OSX (10.2.8) around 2003 etc. If you are having an issue and havent tried reinstalling recently, try uninstalling the program and reinstalling using the steps located at the bottom of the following two articles: Uninstall Reinstall. I have an iMac DV Special Edition 400Mhz PowerPC G3 (Graphite) with upgraded 640MB RAM from 2000.
