Where's the 10.74 installation disk ?

My new MacBookPro comes with 10.74 installed, but no installation disk for RE-installing the OS. Would like to re-install 10.74 and have a bootable DVD. Does one need to pay $30 and download it from the App Store ?

It doesn't come with install DVD. What you get is a recovery partition which you can use when your boot while holding the " Command " + " R " keys.
If you have a spare 4GB USB Thumb drive, you can create a Lion Recovery Disk if you'd like to have one.

Where is the folder containing installation package to bonjour.msi located

having issues downloading itunes v10.5.1. on Windows XP. Error message The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Enter an alternative path to a folder containing the installation package Bonjour.msi.
Where do I find the alternative path to a folder containing the installation package Bonjour.msi?

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Where's the Reader X installer? Plugin not working

Is an installer file available for Reader X? The Firefox plugin doesn't work and I don't understand why adobe is making the Reader installabe from within the browser only?
Is there an .exe or .msi installer?

There is a Reader installer that is a binary executable. It doesn't require a browser to run it. The latest installer for English can be found here:

During Windows XP installation, 'Disk Error' shows.

In many other forums and other user experiences as well as the Bootcamp guide written by apple themselves, at one stage of installing Windows XP, normally after selecting the partition in which to install windows, it asks whether to format and into which format. However this does not happen on my Mac. After selecting the partition that was separated using Bootcamp, it does not ask to format but goes on to verify and then copy data into the partition.
A friend also said formatting is essential and the formatting option was included in the step-by-step procedures described by Apple, but this option was not present or shown in my installation. After the data was copied, it restarted the computer after completing the data copying and informing the user that the computer would be restarted. It then rebooted the same way as it did when I clicked 'Start Installation' on Bootcamp which restarted the computer and came to the start screen that displayed 'Press Space to boot from DVD' just as it did before. Pressing space opens another list where the first option is to press space to install Windows XP, other options show to boot something else and last option to reboot. If nothing is pressed, it jumps to another screen displaying the words 'Disk Error. Press Any key to restart' which happened every single time I tried to install windows and the only thing that I had realised was missing was the formatting of the partition that the Windows XP installation disk should have prompted which did not.
I had also tried accessing 'Disk Utilities' in the Mac OS X and erasing everything in the Bootcamp partition and putting it in FAT format whilst the partition for windows remained under 32 GB. However all attempts resulted in the same 'Disk Error' and never completed the XP setup.
Can someone please diagnose what problem this could be and suggest any possible solutions in order for me to successfully install my Windows XP Service Pack 2 on to my FAT32 format partition of 30GB. I believe it is related to the formatting issue.
Thank you very much.
Chris

Hi Chris and welcome to Discussions,
what exactly is the error message you get when you try the "Format C: /FS:FAT32" command ?
Sadly it is indeed so that a whole batch of Windows XP CDs are 'missing' the reformat option. Don't know why that is so.
frederic1943 has described the correct procedure in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2071417&tstart=105
Have you waited long enough for the drivers to be loaded ?
To Antonio: Reformating the BootCamp Windows partition through the WIndows installer is indeed a neccessity.
When using NTFS as file system for WIndows (neccessary for Vista and Windows 7) it is a must since OSX cannot write to NTFS by default.
With FAT32 also, since the BootCamp Assistant only does some sort of 'preformating'.

MBP keeps ejecting SL installer disk

Can someone please let me know what my options are to make my MBP take the Snow Leopard installer disk? I tried the restart and "C" option, that got me no where... Please help! Anyone?

Try this. Open Disk Utility and let it repair permissions and check the HD itself. If that turns out OK, disconnect all that is connected to your Mac (except for keyboard and mouse), and try running the installer of Snow Leopard again.

Getting 10.4 installation disks

Does anyone know where I can get the 10.4 installation disks? I have an old Powerbook that I want to give to my mom, and I would like to get it as current as I can (it only has a 667MHz processor).
Thanks,

davetavani, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available from Apple. For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.
Also check this web store http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521
Possible Alternative - OS X Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD $74.95
http://www.yourmacstore.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=376&bc=no
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US

Start up from Installation Disk

In Disk Utility it says that to test the start up disk, boot from the OS X Installation Disk, then open Utilities and Disk Utility. You can't. You can only re-install the operating system (placing the existing system in a folder called, 'Previous System').
I did run the Apple Hardware Test (okay), but I don't think that's the same as testing the start up disk.
What am I doing wrong?
Power MAC G5 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Yes you can.
After booting from the Tiger install disc, select your language and at the next screen (Installer window), select Utilities > Disk Utility from the Installer menu bar.

Bootcamp: installer disk could not be found - but MAC desktop can see it

Hi,
I have an iMac intel - 17" 1.83 GHz that I put together from a box of junk. Mechanic friend took it all apart, don't ask. Installed a new hard drive of 1 terrabyte. The internal optical drive does not work so we got a new Iomega optical drive that works just great.
We want to run Windows XP Pro on this iMac - and after updating all of the software in Mac (OS 10.5.8), and running Bootcamp set up assistant, partitioned the drive to 500 GB MAC; 500 GB PC, got this error message saying that the Windows XP installer disk could not be found.
The disk appears on the desktop. I can click on it and see all of the pc files in it. I clicked on a couple of the files and got a simple text document of gibberish. But the set up assistant in Bootcamp still doesn't recognize the disk. So I have been unable to install Windows.
The disk itself is a burned copy from my university that gave me a full license for Windows XP Pro, SP 3. It's 32 bit. And it shows up as an install disk when I pop it into a PC.
I've run Disk Warrior and Disk Utilities to repair permissions and to check that the new hard drive is ok...and it's all set.
I wonder if this is because of the external dvd drive that I'm using. I can use my Macbook Pro and get the imac into target mode. But don't know if this will have me continue to bark up this tree.
Has anyone had success with the same kind of problem that I'm not facing? Thanks much in advance.
Sheila

I too got a version of Windows 7 64 Professional from the the Microsoft Software Distribution Network through Uni. I burnt the iso file on a PC to a DVD with power ISO and then tried to use it as the install disk. After some umming and arrhhing Mac OS X recognised it, the installer started, allowed to select language etc, then suddenly a box appears announcing that a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing.
I have rang up apple support and they are pretty much saying it is a disc quality issue, but I have checked all the disc drive regimes and permissions and they all seem to be fine. I have also done it with multiple brands and a number of times, everytime the same message returned. All the latest firmware has been downloaded. One thing that was briefly mentioned by the guy at Apple support was that there was the possibility that it may be the "logic board". So the previous poster may be right. They said this was unlikely, but everything is possible. The drive works for everything in the OS X side though, so has pretty much stumped me and the Apple support people. I think the only option is to take it to an Apple shop and let them see it for themselves, not really an option for me as I need the Mac Book to write my dissertation, due in about three weeks so can't afford to lose it.
Sorry if I have slightly "jacked" the thread, but the issue sounded pretty close to mine. Any resolution or insight into what might be the issue would be amazing.

Duncan
