Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello! I've just installed Mac OS 8.6 and I'm trying open the Extensions Manager but it says 'you must be running System 8.0 or later to use this version of Extensions Manager'. My extensions don't seem to be working, even though they're in the Extensions folder
Does System 8.0 refer to something else than OS 8? Any ideas? Thanks!
Are you really talking about OS 8.6? That is very old.
The original Mac Pro desktop came with 10.4.7
Did I put this on a Mac Pro conversation?? Sorry guys, I just started using the Apple Support Communities:)
Yes, it's OS 8.6, the very old one!
How are you triggering it? Space bar at Startup,or after Startup?
* Shift causes the Mac to boot without extensions, which is useful for troubleshooting extension conflicts. If you hold down Shift after all the extensions have loaded but before the Finder launches, it also prevents any startup items from launching.
* Spacebar launches Apple's Extensions Manager early in the startup process so you can enable or disable extensions before they load. Casady & Greene's Conflict Catcher, if you're using it instead of Extensions Manager, also launches if it sees you holding down the spacebar, or, optionally, if Caps Lock is activated. Conflict Catcher also adds the capability to configure additional startup keys as ways of specifying that a particular startup set should be used. Choose Edit Sets from the Sets menu, select a set in the resulting dialog and click Modify. In the sub-dialog that appears, you can specify a startup key and check the checkbox to make it effective.
* Option, if held down as the Finder launches, closes any previously open Finder windows. On stock older Macs, holding down Option does nothing at startup by default, although some extensions may deactivate if Option is held down when they attempt to load; see below for Option's effect on new Macs and Macs with Zip drives.
* Control can cause the Location Manager to prompt you to select a location. Although Control is the default, you can redefine it in the Location Manager's Preferences dialog, and since Control held down at startup also activates Apple's MacsBug debugger (see below), you may wish to pick a different key combination.
* Command turns virtual memory off until the next restart.
* Shift-Option disables extensions other than Connectix's RAM Doubler (and MacsBug - see below). To disable RAM Doubler but no other extensions, hold down the tilde (~) key at startup.
Extensions Manager OS 8.6 doesn't open
