Installing Mac OS 9

Your iMac G5 does not come with Mac OS 9 installed. To use Mac OS 9 applications

with your iMac G5, you have to install Mac OS 9 using the Mac OS X Install Disc 2.

To install Mac OS 9:

1 Back up your important files, if possible.

2 Insert the Mac OS X Install Disc 2 that came with your iMac G5.

3 Double-click “Install Mac OS 9 System Support.”

4 Follow the onscreen instructions.

5 After selecting the destination disk for installation, continue following the onscreen

instructions.

Other Problems

If you have a problem with an application

Â For problems with software from a manufacturer other than Apple, contact the

manufacturer. Software manufacturers often provide updates to their software on

their websites. You can set your iMac G5 to check for and install the latest Apple

software automatically using the Software Update pane of System Preferences.

For more information, choose Help > Mac Help and search for “software update.”

If you have trouble using AirPort wireless communication

Â Make sure you have properly configured the software according to the instructions

that came with your AirPort Extreme Base Station or AirPort Express.

Â Make sure the iMac G5 or network you are trying to connect to is running and has a

wireless access point.

Â Make sure you are within antenna range of the other computer or the network’s

access point. Nearby electronic devices or metal structures can interfere with wireless

communication and reduce this range. Repositioning or rotating the iMac G5 may

improve reception.

Â Check the AirPort signal level. There are up to four bars in the AirPort status icon in

the menu bar.

Â You may experience network performance problems if a microwave oven, cordless

phone, or other source of interference is used frequently near your base station. To

minimize interference, move the base station away from the device.

Â For more information about using and troubleshooting AirPort, choose Help > Mac

Help, then choose Library > AirPort Help.
