Any way to install Leopard drivers without disc?

My MacBook Pro is currently running the Leopard OS, but I made the mistake of leaving the discs at home - nearly 3000 miles away, in a sealed storage box. Yes, I made a stupid mistake in packing it away. I'm trying to get Boot Camp set up, and to get the necessary drivers, I need the install disc.
My question is - is there any way I can get the drivers installed without using the Leopard install disc? Is there a download somewhere that can help me with that? Or am I totally out of luck?

Sadly, I've been through this too..although, my Mac OS X DVDs were a mere two miles from home. That being said...two miles feels like 3000 when it's -5 degrees fahrenheit outside.
The most recommended alternative I'm aware of is to grab them through the world of BitTorrent.
In my case, I ended up downloading individual drivers from the hardware vendors sites...the downside to this is that you'll be missing a lot of the valuable Apple software that's part of the Boot Camp software installer. That got the basics working (video, chipset & networking, etc.) until I remembered to bring the DVD home from work to install actual Boot Camp software.

Is there a way to install bootcamp drivers without the cd?

Well, I know it is really easy to install te drivers, but i left my Leopard CD at my other house. Is there any way i could download the drivers or something? I bought Leopard, i just don't have the disc with me.

Hi and welcome to Discussions,
sorry but no luck.
There is no download possibility for the drivers. At least not until the next BootCamp Update.
And with BootCamp 2.0 the drivers are no longer part of the Bootcamp Assistant in OSX.
You need the OSX DVD for the drivers.

Is there any way to install a plugin without admin rights on windows 7

Hi all,
I've developed a plugin for adobe indesign cs5. I was able to install my plugin(by creating .msi file) into indesign plugins folder, when extension manager is opened as administrator.
I just want to know, if I can install the plugin without admin rights.
FYI: My plugin will add a link to File menu on menubar of the indesign application, clicking which will execute the scripts.
Please let me know if you want any other information.
Thanks for any ideas/support.
Regards,
Srikanth

InDesign will load plugins from the path specified in the PlugInConfig.txt file in the user's InDesign preferences directory, which does not require administrative privileges. See "Using PlugInConfig.txt" on pp.12- of the "Getting Started with the Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK" (getting-started.pdf) in the SDK. Specifically:
Using PlugInConfig.txt
1. If InDesign is running, exit it.
2. Create a text file named “PlugInConfig.txt” in the InDesign preference directory, and enter
the following text into it:
=Path
NOTE: The inDesign preference folder is located in the following directory (where <locale> is a
locale-specific subdirectory; for example, en_US for English):
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\
Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
Windows Vista: C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\
Adobe\InDesign\Version #.#\<locale>
Mac OS: <user-home>/Library/Preferences/
Adobe InDesign/Version #.#/<locale>
3. Open the PlugInConfig.txt file in a text editor and edit the sections as desired. For example,
the following tells InDesign to load every plug-in in the sdk folder:
=Path
"C:\Adobe InDesign CS5 Products SDK\build\win\debug\sdk
NOTE: The preceding example is only for Windows. On Mac OS, use ‘:’ as the path separator.
NOTE: You also can use a “=Exclude” tag to exclude a certain plug-in from being loaded. This
is useful if you do not want to load everything in the “=Path” folder.
NOTE: This is target specific. You cannot launch the release version of InDeisgn with debug
plug-ins. It is convenient to add both debug and release paths, commenting out the target that is not in use. For single-line comments, use “;” (semicolon).
4. Save the PlugInConfig.txt file.
5. Restart InDesign.
6. Verify the set of plug-ins loaded by selecting the About Plug-ins menu.

HT3986 Is there a way to install my drivers, without the install disc, or a way to get another install disc?

I have a 27 inch, 2011 Mac. Its running Mountain Lion X, and I want to install Windows 7 via boot camp. I understand without the install disc, my mouse and keyboard won't work (or maybe it's just keyboard, as I have a Cyborg mouse). Without the disc - is there a way to get the required drivers, or a way to get another disc?
Thanks!

There is no install disk for Mountain Lion, you download the Windows Support Software using Boot Camp Assistant (as you are creating the partition)
Backup your machine first, then Read This before you start.

Install Leopard with Upgrade disc

My computer crashed this morning, so I went and bought a new hard drive, popped it in and inserted my Leopard upgrade disc that I purchased upon release. It does nothing when I start up, I don't see my new drive. OK, I thought, I guess I'll just have to install Tiger using the Restore disc that came with my computer and upgrade from there. Wait, where's my restore disc?
So, is there any way to install Leopard on a brand new drive without the system restore disc that came with the machine?
Thanks so much!

The format of your disk may be incorrect. Look in Disk Utility (you can access this when started from the install disk): if the hard drive shows up, click on the top entry (the drive) and check that at the bottom 'Partition map scheme' says 'GUID'. If it doesn't, you will have to reformat the disk using the 'Partition' tab - you can set it to only one partition.
If you click on the volume just below the disk name, the format for this must be 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' - if this is not the case you will need to use the 'Erase' tab to reformat it in this format.

Yes, if you have access to another computer with an optical drive. You can connect the two computers via your home network and use File Sharing to transfer the installer to your HDD. You can also use:
DVD or CD sharing- Using Remote Disc
Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks

Best way to install Leopard on external HD

My iMac came with Leopard. I upgraded to Lion, 3 months ago. I found out that Appleworks doesn't work anymore... very displeased because I always used Mac Strong points (for the past 30 years), which is drawing, like McDraw, McDraw 11, Clarisworks, Appleworks, etc. Apple could have have included a software in iworks to open the numerous works I have done over the years in drawing. Now iDVD doesn't come with Lion anymore. Another blow from Apple!! And iDVD 7.1.2 (after upgrade from Leopard's iDVD) doesn't work too well in Lion... quite a few things are wrong.
Consequently, I want to install Leopard in an external HD, where I could use Appleworks and iDVD.
I have a 1 tera WD Firewire as an external HD. I have tried a few ways to install Leopard on my external HD with no succes.
I have tried "partionning" the external HD, but when it came to "Scan disc image" of Leopard, I had the message: Unable to scan "Install" (Resource busy)
I have tried to install with original Leopard DVD, but after pushing restart (to chose my external HD), then my computer keeps asking me to push restart.
Can anymore can tell me how to properly install Leopard on my external HD?

Connect your WD Firewire drive. Open Disk Utility and check to make sure that it is partitioned as GUID partition scheme (assuming you have an Intel iMac) and is formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). If not, you will need to repartition and reformat the drive - note that this will erase everything that is on the drive.
Notes:
-If you have an Intel Mac you cannot install OS X to a drive that is partitioned as Apple Partition Map; it must be GUID Partition Scheme.
-Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is the same as the "HFS+" as previously mentioned.
-For the disk to be bootable it must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) not plain Mac OS Extended.
Next, insert your Leopard install DVD in your iMac. If the installer opens, just exit/close the installer window. Do not remove the Leopard install DVD from the drive.
Shut down your Mac. Then restart it by holding down the "C" key while it starts. This will make your iMac start from the Leopard install disk that is in the CD/DVD drive. You should then be able to select your external WD drive and install Leopard there.

Bought two audition cs6 licenses one for pcs and one for mac, not finding any way to install on mac

I bought two audition cs6 licenses, one for our pcs and one for our macs...not finding any way to install on our macs...when I run the cd it only has programs for windows...nothing for mac...I have my mac serial number, but no install app...

If you don't have the Mac files with the disc you can probably still download the installation files and use your serial number from the purchase to activate. Here is a link to CS6 downloads:
Download CS6 products
You should check with Adobe support regarding getting the disc copy of the files if that is what you purchased, unless they know something that would result in the files already being in your possession thru that disc somehow.
