Links for Mac OS 9 Downloads are faulty!

Actually, the links from Apple's web site are not working, but the files are still there; I just downloaded them all yesterday. In fact, files they don't list on the web site are there too; you just have to know the correct URL to download it.

Which version of iTunes were you looking for?

I would like to download the North American English 9.1 updater from http://support.apple.com. Can you please direct me to the proper URL?

Thank you.

I tried that download a few times and can't seem to get all of the files to open corectly (when I put all of them in a folder and open the first one with Stuffit Deluxe v7.0.3 I get an error message stating 'unable to execute...parts 2-15 missing or corrupt').

The former post from Kurt188 interests me:

I would like to find this file on Apple's archive server as he suggests.

Try this site for OS 9 updates download.

The following Apple download site has worked for many years:

The OS 9 updates are listed, but the links don't work.

Sorry about that - I noticed later as I posted elsewhere.

In my other post I indicated how a user might search for such files as follows:

Here are two ways to find many possibilities:

Tom, I managed to locate the following OS 9.0 install download:

Mac OS 9 (North American English; 5-part download)

http://www.mediafire.com/?u3iunzku3igye

I downloaded it and it installed perfectly. One question, and it's a newbie one...is there a way to "verify" that the installer is original and has not been tampered with in some way?

Everything seems fine - it's just that I don't know the source for the upload.

Are these MacOS 9.0 downloads or a later version of OS 9?

It looks like a segmented September 1999 Toast copy of a July 1999 installer of OS 9.0 - final mounted used size 523 Mb.

It takes a long time to download and forever to extract.

It appears OK but I cannot say it has not been tampered with.

Can the files be verified with something like SHA1 or are they too old?

I suspect this only works for dmg files - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1652

In this case somebody has used Toast to produce a segmented iso image of the contents of an install CD.

Plus I didn't even see Mac OS 9.2.2 update in there. Does anybody know where I can get it? Software Update in OS 9 is complaining about not having internet even though I'm surfing the web on the same computer haha. It's on 9.2.1 but The Sims won't play (it says it needs Mac OS 8.6 or higher and then quits.... I've seen other apps do this if you don't have the final version of each Mac OS release. I've had an app that said it worked on Leopard 10.5.1 and higher but you actually NEED 10.5.8 or it won't open.)

You have to know how to Google !
