!0.5 clean install but no iphoto

did a clean install of 10.5 backed up iphoto it is on computer but there is no iphoto to place it in

One of the hazards of the erase & install, mistakenly called a clean install, is that all you get is the operating system after you are done. Since iPhoto is not part of the operating system you are going to have to find the install media for the addition software and install it from there.

Please Help

Your problem is not Boot Camp, in fact, is your optical drive. Win XP requires indeed sp2, but also the internal drive, does not work from external optical drive.
For other possible tricks, please use the appropriate Boot Camp forum, not here. Mac OS X may be installed from both external and internal optical drive and/or internal/external partition of a disk, any disk. Windows is not so generous.

Did a clean install but still find imac slows significantly as the day goes on. first projects go pretty well. later

did a clean install but still find the imac slows as the hours pass. using photoshop cs5 and lightroom3,
working w/some large files, but previously-like months ago, there was not this slowing problem. even
the internet slows later in the day. and small moves in a program start to take forever. anyone experience this
issue? or have any thoughts on it? thank you

How much free space do you have on your drive?
From the sounds of your problem is sounds like you are approaching a full disk.

How to Clean Install but then retrieve & restore my Keychain and Mailboxes.

For months now, there have been a large number of irritating problems with my system - and I'm not enough of a techie to resolve them.
It is as though my machine is stuck in the past.
Spotlight doesn't index well - and fails to find up to two thirds of my files - including most of the newer ones.
Dashboard remains at the point at which I upgraded my disk drive. I know this, because a clip from Safari (a web-page with drives for sale) comes up - laboriously slowly - every time I open dashboard; when I delete the clip, it simply reappears the next time I open dashboard after a reboot. Similarly, post-it-style notes made in the Stickies app just vanish after a reboot.
When I open TextEdit, the same untitled file I was working on back in the early summer opens with it; I close it, it's back again the next time I open TextEdit. Alterations I make to Text substitution disappear the moment I close the panel.
All new bookmark additions to Safari vanish from my bookmarks when I restart Safari.
Every time I open iTunes, it thinks I am opening it for the first time. I can't tell you how many times I have agreed to their Software License.
My iCal alarms go off ad infinitum even when I turn them off and for months after the event in question.
And so on, and so on. It's like living with an Alzheimer's patient who keeps asking you what day it is.
I have twice reinstalled Snow Leopard (and rebooted my way through all those software updates) to no avail. My system - or at any rate my applications - still think it's early summer 2010 and any changes since then are forgotten; and Spotlight continues to be virtually useless.
It seems intuitive that some of these problems might be associated with individual preference files and caches for the various applications. But, even if I knew how to correct such problems, I'm concerned it might take me days - even weeks - of messing around but without solving all of my problems.
I have to say, I am tired of having half a Macintosh at my disposal. And I'm inclined to do something drastic.
The obvious solution to these pernickety system problems is completely to reinstall Snow Leopard (onto an erased hard drive) and start from scratch. What has stopped me doing this so far is the fact that, together with the various keycodes that came with my applications, I would also lose all my e-mails and accounts from the Mail application - and all the various passwords in my Keychain.
Surely there must be some way to retrieve just these select items alone from backup after a clean install? (And - yes, techies - I KNOW that Apple doesn't offer a "clean install" these days but you know what I mean: I want to reset everything; then retrieve a few select items - but WITHOUT the complete migration - which would likely, in the process, reinstate all those corrupted preference files or permissions or whatever it is that is messing around with my machine's short term memory.)
So here's my question again:
How - following a "clean install" - do I locate and retrieve the specific ingredients that will restore my mailboxes and keychain to their current state, whilst leaving everything else "clean"?

An alternative proposal I'm going to make is to set up a new user account. It seems highly likely to me that all, or almost all of these issues are related to the account preference files in ~/Library. Certainly the iTunes issue, Safari, TextEdit, iCal etc. suggest that your account is having trouble with saving any changes to its preference files which would result in anything you tried to do being forgotten the moment the application was closed.
So for a start, make a new account, log in to it and do a couple of experiments - make some bookmarks in Safari, change some TextEdit options, open iTunes - then close and reopen them, or even restart the machine. If the changes are saved, then it's definitely an account problem and there is no need to reinstall Mac OS. Worst case scenario then would be you might need to move your documents and settings over to the new account; however it's also worth taking a couple of steps to see if the original account can be fixed. Try the above step and if it works; if so, go to /Users and right click your home folder, then 'Get Info'. Under the section dealing with permissions, ensure that your username has both read and write permissions, then use the cogwheel to apply this setting to all folders and files inside your home folder (you may need to use your password to unlock the padlock for this).
There are other things that can be attempted even before moving to a new user (or reinstalling if the new user test failed) so it's still worth checking back here in case other people suggest steps, it just depends how much time you want to invest.
As always, back up all your data before troubleshooting.

Doing clean install but logic studio does not work. Getting Error message

I have my box Logic Studio 9 upgrade but it will not install on my SSD. Final cut and all other reinstalls worked. Cannot install LP 7 because it is a PPC
written program. Im trying to do a clean install of the lion OS but cannot get my most inportant program to install. I dont want to buy the program again at the app store. What do think my options are? I've had Logic since 6.0

Hi
First, get rid of your designer, the page design/code is a mess.
There are a number of problems with the page, not least being the disabling of the back button in all browsers I tested it in, (visitors may visit once with this, but are unlikely to do so a 2nd time).
The menu system is a fixed size so that when the browser is resized it overflows the browser window.
The use of tables for layout is not recommended as it is inaccessible to users using assistive devices.
To put this more politely, if you paid for this, ask for your money back. If you did not pay, then start again and use one of the dreamweaver layouts for your page, for more info, see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing_new_css_layouts.html.

Backed up before clean install but now can't see my files?

I got Time Machine to do a full backup of my Mac Mini to my Time Capsule prior to doing a clean install of Mountain Lion.
All went well with the install but how do I access all the files I backed up?

Was the entire folder copied including the iTunesLibrary.itl file?

Clean install but iTunes is missing files?

I've had my itunes folder and all media on an external drive for a few years with no problems. Last weekend I did a clean install of ML on a new SD drive.
The install went fine and after it was done I pointed itunes to the media folder on the external drive that I have been using for years. Itunes seems to have accepted the folder but itunes is missing albums , songs and movies that are on the drive and in the correct folders. It's showing half of the movies I have in my movies folder. Any idea what's going on? Why would itunes see some of my media but not all? I have itunes match also if that's part of the puzzle.....
Thanks!
Dave

I want to do a clean install, but how to use Time Machine to get my data back?

I want to do to clean install of my Snow Leopard OS system...all my data is backed up on my TM. I heard if I restore from Time Machine any system errors created then will have an effect on the clean install? Wouldn't that defeat the whole purpose? So how am I supposed to get around that?
Any help would be appreciated, since it would be my first clean installed ever performed (I'm a bit scared, lol).

would it be okay to delete the Time Machine back up then and use the external hard drive as a normal back up of all my stuff copied over to it by drag and drop?
Leave the TM drive alone, it's a extra backup as you should have two separate hardware backups of your data at all times. Use another new drive for a copy of the files until your safely up on the fresh install, then erase and reset the TM drive to your new configuration.
It didn't occur to me that TM would keep the system as it was...and I'm just now learning about TM. I'm glad I have decided to ask before I proceeded to install!!
TM copies stuff over in a general manner, trying to keep what you have just like what you had, which unfortuntly if something goes wrong that isn't the best course of action because you don't want the old junk back on the new machine.
So since it's incrediably difficult to cherry pick exactly what you want when restoring from TM, it's better to have the user files on a regular drive (no TM) when doing a fresh install.
It's really not that hard restoring manually, just create the same named user and drag and drop the contents of the User file folders (music, pictures, documents, movies) right into the new folders on the new user.
You do a fresh install in this manner.
1: Backup files manually to a external drive, disconnect all drives.
2: hold c boot off the 10.6 disk, erase the drive and reformat (wipes all contents)
3: quit and install 10.6, reboot and go through setup, create the same named user as before
4: Software update to 10.6.8
5: install all programs from fresh sources
6: last files cherry picked from backup (do not transfer Users/Library)
In that spefic order for best performance.
It's not excactly as perfect as TM restore, but then you don't get all the problems back.

G5 with leopard 10.5.8 running slowly, attempting to clean install but only have original 10.4.2 discs

My dad has an iMac G5 1.9GHz running 10.5.8 with 2.5GB ram which is running extremely slowly. I want to back up the hard drive and then do a 'clean install' to attempt to fix the issues. However, he only has the original discs for 10.4.2, having upgraded to leopard using my brother-in-law's family upgrade disc.
My question is, if I erase the hard-drive and then install Tiger, will I be able to use Timemachine to access his backups, as they were done using 10.5.8?
And if my brother-in-law no longer has his Leopard upgrade discs will I be able to get a copy?
I don't want to downgrade the machine if there's no way of getting it back up to 10.5.8
Many thanks in advance

Before you erase the drive see the following:
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc. Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
Backuplist
Carbon Copy Cloner
Data Backup
Deja Vu
iBackup
JaBack
Silver Keeper
MimMac
Retrospect
Super Flexible File Synchronizer
SuperDuper!
Synchronize Pro! X
SyncTwoFolders
Synk Pro
Synk Standard
Tri-Backup

Clean Install but no Library Files

What I meant by this is I would like to do a clean install of an operating system (possibly Mavericks) to a new external drive, then using Migration Assistant or some other means to bring over my User folder minus the Library which I assume contains corrupted files accumulated over the last 15 years. I would then reinstall 3rd party applications and those from Apple that are not installed with the OS.
After testing the result, I would then erase my internal hard drive and clone the external drive to the internal drive. Does this sound reasonable?
I currently have 2 backups, a Time Machine and a clone, one of which would be used for the migration.

Hi, thanks for the response.

IMO, bad assumption. If you're having issues with your current installation, fix them before upgrading.
Easier said than done. I have had intermittent problems with the Finder and other Apple apps (Safari, etc) that I have not been able to resolve. For example, when using the Search box at the top of a Finder window, after entering several characters, the Finder freezes requiring me to relaunch the Finder. Trashing the Finder Preferences didn’t solve the problem. Viewing the Console Log for the exact time that the Finder freezes results in no clues as to the cause. With respect to Safari, the Minimize keyboard shortcut quit working. Trashing the Safari Preference file didn’t help. Numerous other nuisances that I can’t recall at the moment.

Clean install but I want Apache 1.3

I have done a clean install of 10.5 on an xserve. I would like to go back to Apache 1.3. Apple says that all I need to do is edit /var/db/.apacheversion However, when I try to edit it (using vi or bbedit or any of my typical editors) I do not have "permission". What could be going on?

You'll need to enter the root password.
Don't you mean you'll need to enter the user's own password (and they need to be in the admin group).

Try to install iTunes on Vista 64 bit on a clean install but it refuses to install

I download the 64 bit version for install on my PC, but during install i noticed it was being installed to Program files (x86) which confused me. so I changed it to Program files in the setup preferences and proceeded to install. It gets half way through installing and gives up. Am I to guess that iTunes 64 is not really 64 bit at all but a psuedo to give it that impression. If it is going to install into a 32 bit directory then I have no recourse but to assume the latter.
Any ideas how I can get this to install on my Windows Vista 64 bit. Either way it comes up with scripting errors every time I try now. What is needed is an apple cleaner to get rid of elements of the old installs hidden in places like Appdata and the registry as well as hidden MSI scripts which stop subsequent installs.

An error occured during the installation of assembly 'Microsoft.VC80.CRT.type="win32="8.0.50727.6195".publicKey Token="1fc8b3b9a 1e 18e 3b".processorArchitechture="x86'''.Please refer to help and support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8007054f.
These ones are typically caused by underlying problems on the PC that also often cause Windows Updates to fail to install. If we can fix the Windows Update trouble, we can usually get the iTunes trouble cleaned up en passant.
Go into your Windows update and try to check for new updates. If updates install, stock up on the ones you're behind on, restarting the PC if requested to do so. After the restart, try installing iTunes again. Does it go through this time for you?
If windows updates fail to install, go into your Update History and doubleclick the failures. What alphanumeric codes appear for you? Are they also 8007054F, or some other number? (If they're another number, what number are you getting?)
