Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
My Classic OS9 applications will not open, and I cannot find the classic OS9 application showing in the preferences window.I tried installing Classic OS9 on a disc I had from another computer but maybe it was the wrong disc
eMac (ATI Graphics), Mac OS X (10.4.11)
It should be to the right of the accounts.
Classic:
If you can find a system running classic, you may drag & drop this folder to you mac. You need to have a PPC.
You may need to bless the folder. For get how. Think you drag the system file out of this folder then drage it back. There is a Terminal bless command too. Try google.

I have a eMac with OS9 Classic, the iMac has the apparently missing OS9 Classic. I am not sure the classic folder looks liked, I dagged what I thought was the system folder to the eMac desktop, but nothing happened. I guess I am not sure of what I am doing, and I don't want to mess things up
The eMac has a folder called system folder, but does not have the 9 on it, From the begining I put the OS9 Classic applications in this folder. The original folder got lost.
After getting the above resoved, how do I get the classic on the eMac to the iMac
Thank you for your help,
Regards,
Bob
Here is apple's take on the subject.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1929
Try this:
1) on your eMac update the machine to 9.2.2
-- ( it needs to be 9.2.2 I think & do not know if you can update to 9.2.2
on Mac OS X. I think you can update on X, but not 100% sure. )
2) get a flash drive
3) format to flashdrive to Mac OS extended
-- ( guess you could use journaled. )
-- ( need to perserve resource forks.)
4) copy the folder
System Folder
to the flash drive.
-- ( this is the mac os 9 folder. Only the Max OS X will/may have the 9 on the folder. )
-- ( do not move it on emac like to the desktop etc. )
5) copy to your iMac.
6) Bless classic folder. See http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1929 for how.
Let me know how it goes. Could try it out since I have Classi running in a partition on this machine.
My classic OS9 applications will not open
