Mac OS 9 Classic Mode

Since OS X has an OS 9 emulator, all of your OS 9 software can still be used on your Mac if you

install OS 9 as well as OS X. When you launch an older OS 9 application, it’s as if you’ve booted

a computer within your computer; that is, Classic will emulate the startup process and load

everything needed to mimic OS 9 and run the application. When you open a Classic application,

the application’s icon appears on the Dock and disappears when you quit the application.

However, you can no longer boot your Mac so that it runs from OS 9. This is a drag because

some older Mac programs won’t run properly unless you boot up OS 9; however, the good news

is that most reliable programs have been updated to work with OS X now.

If you wish, you may set your System Preferences to start up Classic upon Login by selecting

System Preferences > Classic > Start Classic when you login. The advantage to doing this

is that you won’t have to wait a minute or two for Classic to launch the first time you launch a

Classic application; however, the disadvantage is that Classic uses a hefty amount of RAM and

other system resources. We don’t recommend you do this.

Setting Up a Printer for the First Time with OS X

This is so easy! Finally a printer setup that makes sense! Follow these steps to set up a printer

for the first time:

1. After you connect your computer and printer with a compatible cable, provide a power

source for your printer, and install the software for your printer, configure your printer

by opening the Printer Setup Utility application in the Utilities folder within your

Applications folder (i.e., Applications > Utilities > Printer Setup Utility). Even if a

printer is connected to your Mac or is available via a network, your Mac doesn’t know it

exists until you use the Add Printer command to create an access path to it.

2. Click the Add button at the top of the Printer Setup Utility window.
