A way to re-install Mail without a full system reinstall?

So, I did something dumb and deleted the Mail program.
I was thinking I would just restore it from the disks that came with my iBook but the only option that gives me is a complete systems software reinstall. I don't want to do that for a number of reasons, the main one being that I don't have room on my drive and don't have the hours it will take me to back up the gigs of work I have on this hard drive.
So, any suggestions on how to get Mail back without the full re-install? is that even possible?

You may reinstall the Mail application using your Tiger installation disks as described here:
Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4
You should reinstall the appropriate system update afterwards:
Mac OS X 10.4.6 Combo Update for PPC
Note that you shouldn't reinstall just Mail without also reinstalling the combo update afterwards, and that lack of free space in your disk may cause the update process to fail and bring your entire system down...

    Yes.
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    However, the real issue is why the program is not working. Did you install anything recently?
    When you tried to re-install from the disk, did you shut off the antivirus program temporarily?
    Have you tried a system restore to a point in time when the program was working properly?

  • Re-install Mail without having the disk ...

    After beeing having deleted Mail from my hard disk I now want to re-install, but I can't locate the right Mac OS X install Disc and would think Mail would be available somewhere as a download ... Can't find it though. Anyone any tips, except for installing Thunderbird, which I allredy have?
    Cheers!

    You can use Pacifist to extract and install just that application from your 10.5.x install disk. Then update with the 10.5.8 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

  • How to install Mail

    My father has PowerBook G4 with with Mac OS 10.5.8, and he has deleted his Mail application by mistake. I have tried to install it from Leopard installation DVD, but there is only Mail 3.0, that can not work with 10.5.8. I have tried also to update it, but updater doesn't seem to do anything with this, and its very strange...
    Any ideas how to install Mail 4 (without buying newer Leopard that contains Mail 4)
    Thanks!

    Hello, I'm trying to re-install Mail. Is there a way to only install Mail and not iTunes, iCal, etc?
    Yes.
    After clicking on the Optional install package of the DVD, you will find Mail within the Applications choice.
    Click on the triangle next to Applications to reveal those contents. Then just select Mail only and press continue.

  • Installing Windows without Leopard Disk

    Just wondering if there was any way I could install windows without the leopard disk. I'm at work right now and was hoping to install windows vista but my leopard disk is at home.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    If you have a copy of Windows Vista with you, you can use Boot Camp Assistant to create a Windows partition and install Vista on it. The only point is you cannot install the necessary drivers at this time since you do not have the Leopard DVD.

  • Is there a way to re-install TextEdit?

    It was in the Application folder yesterday. I don't know how it's possible that I would have deleted it, but it's gone. Is there a way to install it from the Install disk without overwriting my system software?

    Use Pacifist to extract it.

  • Is there a way to import Outlook 2010 emails  to Mavericks Mail without 3rd party software?

    I'm hoping that there is a fairly straight-forward way this can be done.
    My friend has just purchased a MacBook Air with Mavericks operating system.  This is her first Mac and she needs to get all her old business emails onto her new MacBook.
    She paid for '1 on 1' Apple support and had a session with an 'expert' yesterday - taking along her old PC laptop in the hope that he could help her.  He basically told her she should 'start a new life using Mail'.  This is not what she needed to hear.
    I'm using Mail version 5.3 on my 5 year old MacBook with OS X 10.7.5.  I don't want to give her incorrect advice but my version of Mail allows one to Import mailboxes but not, unfortunately, it would seem emails from Microsoft programs for the PC.
    My question is this -
    Once she has created an Outlook Data File (.pst format) is there a way she can convert this to .mbox format so that the data can be imported into Mavericks Mail without the use of third-party software?
    I'm sure that she's certainly not the first person who has faced this situation but, from the attitude of the (less than helpful) Apple help person I fear that the answer may not be yes.
    Cheers

    No idea, I try not to have anything to do with Outlook except provide a way out of it for the sensible. But aren't you an Outlook user?
    Here's the link to the site I found -
    http://www.outlooktomail.com/buy-now-for-mac/
    That should be fine, it is the same as the one in the Mac app store (which would be the preferred version to use)
    My 'help' situation is a little worse than it would first seem - we're in different countries (very grateful for Viber) - her attention span for matters technological is rather short so I'm trying to make everything as painless as possible - and yes, she has backups of her backups so all should be well in that regard.
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • Is there any way to re-install an app on my iPad 2 without synching?

    I deleted and now want to re-install an app on my iPad 2. The App store tells me it's installed and I didn't see any way to re-install it from there.
    Is there any way to re-install just one little app without having to haul out the big ol' laptop and do a synch?  Can I do anything through the cloud?
    Many thanks for reading and apologies if this has been covered dozens of times....I couldn't see it when I did a search.
    C:

    Restting the iPad may reset the Newsstand app as well. One other thing that you can try is to quit Newsstand, restart the iPad and see if that helps.
    To quit Newsstand - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit the app by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Newsstand app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    BTW .... When you download an app again via the Purchased Tab from the App Store, you are downloading from the cloud. That is one of the features of iCloud. Your app purchases are stored "in the cloud" and downloaded from there. There is no need to sync with your computer.

  • Is there a way to install X11 without re-installing OSX?

    I cannot find a way of installing X11 without re-installing OSX.
    I've looked on the cd for the installer but with no luck.
    The X11 installer isn't located in the bundled software installer and X11 will not install with the X11 SDK.
    The retail verson of tiger has an optional istall on the disk but it will not work with intel macs. And the X11 download from apple will not work with Tiger (not even in Rosetta).
    I've found the X11 install option when I restart my MacBook with the install DVD inside and am asked to reinstall Tiger. This doesnt do me any good because i dont want to do a fresh install of tiger just to get X11.
    Does anyone know a way around this issue?
    Please Help!
    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    On the intel Tiger DVD there is no additional software or other software folers or packages. There is:
    Install Bundled Software (which does not contain X11)
    Install OSX and Bundled Software (which requires you to reinstall OSX to Install X11)
    Xcode Tools Folder (which contains Xcode and Xcode extras but no X11 installer)

    I'm very afraid you will have to pay the immense sum of US $30 to upgrade to Snow Leopard.

  • I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?

    I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?

    If you own any verson of iPhoto '11 then there is a free update to version 9.5.x in the App store
    If you own a previous version of iPhto (iPhoto '09 or earlier) then as always an upgrade to a new version (in this case iPhoto '11) is a paid upgrade and you purchase it in the App store
    and no OS update/upgrade contains a version of iPhto - it is a seperate program and although it is included as part of every new Mac it is not a free program and never has been sinve version 1 or 2 (I forget when it changes)

  • IWorks -- any way to re-install without the disks?

    iWorks -- any way to re-install without the disks (especially Pages)?

    Downgrading is not supported by Apple.  Try resetting your iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and the home button for 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears, ignore the red slider.  Then turn back on. You won't lose any data doing the reset.

    It cannot be installed. It comes pre-installed on every iPhone 4S and later. Maybe it was disabled under Settings > General > Restrictions.

    iOS 6 only added support for the 3rd generation iPad. It was always on the iPhone 4S. Then the same goes for your boss: Maybe disabled in restrictions, or maybe actually an iPhone 4.
