Imac mid-2007 installation disc

Is it possible to get another installation disc for my intel imac ?
I get one of the file is corrupted and i need to get it changed.
Thank you .^^.

HI,
*"I get one of the file is corrupted and i need to get it changed."*
What's wrong with this disk? If your iMac can't mount the disk or boot from it, try cleaning it.
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those -

  • IMac (Mid 2007) Restore Disc with Leopard OSX 10.5

    Sometime after 26-Oct-07, I assume all new iMacs will be delivered with Leopard
    factory installed and should come with an updated 10.5 Restore disc?
    I wondered if Apple will offer the updated 10.5 Restore disc to customers that
    purchased (mid 2007) iMacs with 10.4.10 pre-installed?
    Something tells me we will have to buy the retail 10.5 and no longer be able
    to use the restore disc that came with the iMac (mid 2007).
    My purchase date was 15-Sep-07 so I am probably SOL for any free upgrade.

    Wishful thinking (that will never happen): Shortly after 26-Oct-07, Apple
    will post a "iMac Software Update" for the mid 2007 iMacs that will change
    10.4.10 to 10.5.

    There'll be a new disc, although probably not on 10/26. Apple will not sell it to you. You will have to use the retail or upgrade disc. You will still be able to use your original restore discs to re-install bundled software if necessary.

  • Imac (mid 2007) - which OS to install?

    Hi there,
    I have recently lost my early 2006 macbook. It has had numerous issues such as the common flickering screen, and the bulging battery issue. I was going to attempt to install a new inverter and battery in it but instead, i was able to find a 24" mid 2007 imac with a failed hard drive. My friends were going to dump it as they are going to get a new imac 5K so i decided to take it home. I installed a 1tb disk in it and 6gb of ram to bring it up to modern standards. It comes packaged with 10.5.8 (Leopard).
    I also picked up a used magic trackpad for it but only to realize after that it requires 10.6 to run the magic trackpad.
    So now my question is, What OS should I run for the iMac (Mid 2007, 2.4Ghz, 6GB Ram, 1TB 7200rpm HDD, ATI Radeon 256mb GDDR3 Memory). My main priorities is speed and performance, the second priority is to be able to use the magic trackpad. I will be using it only for web browsing, listening to music and watching movies. I have other computers at home that deal with "work" (batch editing photos, photoshop, etc).
    Thank you very much for your time.

    My personal preference for you is to purchase a OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard install disc, then update to OS X 10.6.8 and STAY THERE!
    Your IMac will run its best on OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

    Purchased Installer disc here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools.
    Later versions of OS X are more memory intensive and lean more towards being a hybrid of OS X and IOS.
    The only other choice I do not really recommend, but your 2007 IMac may run okay on it is once your IMac is upgraded to OS X 10.6.8, purchase an email download code for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
    To install OS X  10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks (currently unavailable) or OS X 10.10 Yosemite.you need one of these Macs:
    OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.

    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
    8 GB or more of available space
    While there is the free OS X 10.10 Yosemite for immediate download on the Mac App Store, your iMac model will run a lot slower on this OS X version and is NOT without plenty of issues and really is not ready for use as an everyday OS.
    My opinion here, stay away from installing OS X Yosemite for quite awhile.

  • IMac Mid 2007 (OS X Mavericks 10.9.4) doesn't go to sleep

    Hello, i have an issue with my iMac Mid 2007 with OS X Mavericks :
    On my primary account my mac never goes to sleep even if there is no app open or itunes or spotify playing.
    I've tried to disable everything and restore energy savings default but didn't work
    I've done a SMC reset e PRAM reset, no change.
    On a partition with yosemite public beta it sleeps normally and in bootcamp partition i didn't check but i think it goes to sleep.
    If i use another account with Mavericks it goes to sleep as well so there should be something wrong with my account or some app installed...
    I did not install anything new recently, only chrome beta 64bit.
    I have an SSD on this iMac and 6Gb of ram... i thought the problem was spotify but even if uninstalled it doesn't sleep.

    It seems there is always a process with coreaudio that prevents system from sleep.
    Do i need to reinstall os x mavericks again?
    I have another issue too regarding the image file preview, usually are shown but sometimes when i reboot or start my mac previews are not shown and i have to check in the finder option "Show file preview" again to get it right...
    Thanks in advance

    No i've checked that before posting and i did all that steps... anyway i think i resolved my issue...
    Even reinstalling mavericks didn't fix the issue, so i installed yosemite public beta 3 on my primary partition and that still didn't fix the problem with coreaudio...
    Anyway i unloaded coreaudiod
    sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist
    In Finder i moved to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons and moved to Desktop com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist
    After reboot there was no audio and no coreaudiod process preventing sleep of course so i moved back coreaudiod.plist to /System/Library/LaunchDaemons
    and
    sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.audio.coreaudiod.plist
    This enabled the audio and now in terminal pmset -g assertions shows :

    That is quite normal and this way my mac goes to sleep...
    I'll check if it's the latest installation of spotify causing this issue...
    Thanks for the reply.

  • HT1338 The Software Update function on my iMac mid 2007 with OS X 10.8.2 fails to see new software

    The Software Update function on my iMac mid 2007 with OS X 10.8.2 fails to see new software ,not with /Apple/Software Update or /About this Mac or /System Preference/Software Update, the problem started already with 10.8 and I had to download the 10.8.2 Combo manualy, installation was succesful, but since iPhoto11 (9.4) is now available my existing iPhoto11 (9.3.2) will not detect updates using AppStore or all the other ways, Any idee is welcome.

    Glad you got your Mac fixed. But I hope you realize that an update can always go awry; corrupted download, stray voltage spike in your AC power, even a bug in the Installer of the Update. That's why it's never a good idea to update anything that affects your business for at least a week or even two AFTER the update comes out.
    And this applies not just to the OS Update, it may be even more important with an update to one of the apps you need for your business! 8-| There's hardly ever a valid reason to make an Update while working on a clients task. Certainly no reason to make an Update during the work week. That's what Week Ends are for! LOL!
    Basic rule for the OS Update, for me, anyway, is to NEVER use the Software Update version. I ALWAYS go to the Apple site and download the Combo Updater. It's often much larger, but it's never failed me. Maybe just that fewer people are hitting that server! Who knows? Who cares?
    Second basic rule, WAIT a few weeks to see if there are problems associated with any update. What's the advantage of being the first one on the block with a problem?!
    Third basic rule, try the download a second time. Bits/electrons are very slippery! Some have been known to fall out of the Internet "tubes!"

  • Have installed 10.10 on my iMac (mid 2007) 2.4 GHz 2Gb memory which has slowed to a crawl

    have installed 10.10 on my iMac (mid 2007) 2.4 GHz me 2 GB which has slowed to a crawl

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
         computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
         screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.
    5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.

  • Is my internal hard drive dead?!? (iMac mid-2007)

    Hi everyone,
    My aluminum iMac (mid-2007) is behaving strangely recently. I'm suspecting some internal hard drive failure. Here are the symptoms:
    1) Difficult wakeups from sleep mode: two times out of three, the spinning beachball appears on each open application, making the iMac unusable, almost frozen. I have to hard reboot.
    2) One reboot out of two fails, with the "question mark folder" appearing, just like if the iMac could not detect an internal hard drive.
    3) In the Finder, the spinning beachball appeared once with an error message: "The drive has not been ejected properly". Of course I didn't eject or disconnect any drive... There was also an icon "SystemUI Server" appearing in the Dock! I was forced to hard reboot.
    4) Made all the usual stuff: all Onyx tests and repairs + Apple Hardware Test full tests + permission and disk repairs + PRAM/SMC reset... No problems detected, but nothing resolved in the end. (The only thing I haven't tested yet is Techtool Pro or DiskWarrior.)
    I think this is an internal hard drive problem, but I'd like to have a confirmation from you, forum pros. Would a hard drive replacement fix the problem? Or is the internal drive OK but some connection to the drive not working anymore, making a HD replacement useless? (Sorry if this is nonsense, but I'm not very skilled in hardware stuff.)
    In other words, any help would be appreciated. (And my AppleCare expired some weeks ago! Talk about bad luck...)
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Done! Installed a new HD following the instructions of this site. Everything works perfectly again.
    Yay!
    But I'm still disappointed that my original internal hard drive chose to die two weeks after my AppleCare three-year warranty expired!
    The original HD was a Western Digital. Is WD a crappy brand?
    You'll get widely different opinions on that. Many folks say their --cheap-- inexpensive ones are "junk;" others say they've had several that ran for years.
    Some say the ones Apple uses are better quality -- not quite server grade, but better than the run-of-the mill consumer products.
    As with any manufactured product, disk drives may have a few early failures (even in the first days or weeks); a few will last for many years, most will last for 2-4 years or so. Even under identical circumstances, there's no predicting the life span of any one drive.

  • How to install OS X 10.6.8 on iMac mid-2007

    I try to install Snow Leopard from a DVD MC573Z/A onto my iMac mid-2007 but the machine ejects the DVD.

  • HT1338 Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update for Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3 on iMac mid-2007 that downloaded automatically on iMac mid-2011

    Software Update is not finding latest release (April 3) of Java 2012 001 Update on my iMac mid-2007, but it downloaded it automatically on my iMac mid-2011 yesterday. Both are running Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3. When I try to download the update manually from Apple on my older iMac, it downloads okay, but when I try to open the dmg file, I get a warning message saying that opening this update may make your computer LESS secure. Do you want to proceed? (I did not).
    Why would Software Update find this update and install it automatically on one iMac and not the other, if they are both running the same version of Mac OS X Lion? I checked the installed software list on my old iMac and the Java update does not appear there. Why would this update make my old iMac less secure?

    Recall that Java is not installed as part of Lion.
    You have to install it (and are asked if you want to) when you first try to run some java stuff.
    Is it possible that the iMac 2007 does not have Java yet?
    Try this: open Terminal (from Utilities) and type java -version (exactly like that, with the space before the hyphen).
    What do you get?
    Consistent with this theory is that the dmg thing gave you the warning - installing java might make your machine less secure because java is a means for bad guys to try to do bad things to your computer.

    Apple only offically supports 4GB of RAM however on my late 2007 iMac I have had 6GB running for about 3 years and it has never given problems. I'd recommend buying the 6GB kit from www.macsale.com. The exact address is:

  • Will the iMac (Mid 2007) run OS X Server?

    I'm wondering the the new Aluminum iMac (Mid 2007) will run 10.4 Server. I found the procedure in http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305537 to upgrade from 10.4.10 Client but I want to verify that the newest machines are supported.

    Hi
    Should add that I work for an Apple Specialist/AASP
    So do I.
    I’m also aware of the link supplied by jaydisc. I think there may be a problem with installing OSX Server on the newest iMacs. I don’t base this on any inside knowledge, just a gut feeling. I’ve not heard anything decisive coming from Apple either officially or unofficially either. Hopefully someone out there has had a go already and may post something useful soon. Of course you could try it yourself and let us know. What’s the worse that could happen?
