i have a mac os 9.0 and i wanna update it to 9.1 so i can use classic, i downloaded the update off the apple site but it wont install because classic wont load up, i dont have the cd so im trying to figure out what to do to update to 9.1, thanx
 
Don't you have to do a firmware update to go from 9 to 9.1?

Can't remember now.

Confused though, are you running OS9 only?
 
im not sure, im a pc guy and its my gfs computer and i know nothing about mac computers at all.
i went to the startup disk and it says MAC OS X, 10.4.11 on untitled, idk what that means but i just want to figure out how to update this so i can run classic
 
haha sad thing is she just got this for a present like 4 months ago lol, u have any idea how to update to 9.1, i downloaded the update but it wont install since it cant run classic to install it, any way to get around having to run classic to install it?
 
Apple pulled classic support with 10.3 I think. All I know is that under 10.4.11 your girlfriend can not run classic. Also I don't know why she would want to. Any development for OS 9 stopped almost 8 years ago.
