Any way to repair disks without the installation CD?

I have the latest version of snow leopard and haven't used my laptop in awhile because I needed to get repairs done on it. Finally repaired it at the apple store, took it home, ran the updates, but disk utility is saying my drive is corrupted and to repair it with the installation disk. I have been looking everywhere and only found the TechTool deluxe CD but can't find my actual installation disks.
Anyone know how I would go about repairing my disk ?
Thank you in advance.

You need an installer disc or an external drive from which you can boot the computer. Otherwise you cn try:
File System Maint. - fsck
Boot into single-user mode. After startup is completed you will be in command line mode and should see a prompt with a cursor positioned after it. At the prompt enter the following then press RETURN:
/sbin/fsck -fy
If you receive a message that says "***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****" then re-run the command until you receive a message that says "** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK." If you re-run the command more than seven times and do not get the OK message, then the drive cannot be repaired this way. If you were successful then enter:
reboot
and press RETURN to restart the computer.

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.

Is there any way to repair (re-install) the internal flash player for IE10?

Hi eveyone,
In short;
been running Win 8 Pro 64-bit for a couple of days now. Decided it was time to try out some software so installed a trial of Fix It Utilities Professional (bad decision).
Installed it, played around for a bit and after a while I came up with the brilliant idea of running a registry clean/fix (insert facepalm) and some overall clean-up, just curious
to seel the results.
Being stupid and feeling lazy, cleaned everything and didn't create a backup. Everything seemed fine afterwards. Only the internal flash player for IE 10 dissapeared
from the Add-ons list, hence the plugin itself stopped working.I've tried everything I think I've tried all the help options I could find on the Adobe site, but nothing seems to work (un-install tool,
delete files and folders, IE's security settings back to default, checked ActiveX status and permissons, reset all data and settings for IE10 etc) Something must have been modified in the registry
but I'm just unable to locate the problem. I also installed the latest beta for Chrome and that's working like a charm, no problems at all and the performance is great.
So this is the error I receive:
I'm kinda stuck now; the installer won't let me installl it because IE has a built in plugin, but it's not working in IE. It's not even visible in the add-on menu.
I know it was a pretty stupid thing to do, but I still hope someone here knows what to do. I;m kinda running out of ideas/options (not going to edit the registry myself, because you can
bet your money this will only have a negative outcome
thanks in advance!

the last thing I can think of is that OpenOffice and Windows Live Messenger also use flash, if i'm correct. E.g. in the OpenOffice folder there is a flash.dll file. Could these files be of real
influence?
ill copy all the current flash files and keys/values, seems the only way to clear thing ups a bit

No, you can ask questions, but you'll have to wait until someone shows up who knows the answer.
I do not have Windows 8 / IE10, so I don't know anything about it.
You may have to wait until US daytime; maybe someone from the Adobe staff knows the answer. But you may be better off asking in a IE10 forum.
Meanwhile check if you can find any relevant information in http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flas h_player_windows8_admin_guide.pdf

When I try to open iTunes, I get an error stating that the program can't start because MSVCR80.dll is missing from my computer. I don't have my original iTunes disc to reload. Is there any way to fix this without the iTunes disc?

Also, I'm due for an upgrade to the new iPhone. Should I just wait for my new iPhone?

Bought computers with motion and final cut on it. Is there any way to to upgrade without the password?

Bought computer with software on the computer don't have password. Is there anyway to upgrade?

Probably one of those craigslist ads.
Guys take a computer, pack it full with stolen software, and then charge more than the computer is worth.
But: no upgrades, no support. And you'll never know if there's not some malware, spyware somewhere.
I wouldn't want to work with such software.
It's really the best to wipe the drive, and only use your own software. Charge it under "experience".
And it's only $50...

To back up your data, either use Target Disk Mode and a cable from another Mac (which mounts your problem Mac as an external disk of the other Mac) and Disk Utility on that other Mac, or — and this is all assuming you either have a slow Internet connection and don't want to use Internet Recovery, or if you have an older Mac that doesn't support Internet Recovery — you can create a bootable USB key disk on another Mac and then boot your problematic Mac from that keydisk, then use Disk Utility from the installer to make a backup to another (external) (scratch) disk. You can also use that keydisk to reinstall OS X, to repair or to reinstall OS X.

My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?

It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other.

My computer broke and I got it fixed. It doesn't say that the hard-drive was replaced, but I can tell my data is gone, including Pages that I bought. Is there any way of getting that without paying for it again?

Or if you purchased Pages as part of iWork on a disk, reinstall from the same disk.
Best of luck.

You don't. You need the installation disk. You can't buy the disk in an Apple store. You need to call AppleCare and order one. Have you serial number handy. To check your warranty status:

No. You need a computer with iTunes and an internet connection.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I have a iPhone 3GS and the power connection prongs are damaged and it won't charge or sync. Is there any way to repair? Or, at least is there a way to charge so I can write down phone numbers and othe rinformation. My power charge is totally out right now.

If it will not turn on - you have zero chance of getting anything off the phone.

Is there any way to use flash without all the bloated code?

I want to put a flash player on my site, however with dreamweaver the "insert movie" option puts a ton code in my markup to the point where i cant even tell what im looking at. Is there any way to use flash without all the bloat?

Yes and no. Some bloat as you call it is necessary to support all browsers. That said, this on-line tool takes your Flash code and converts it to valid XHTML Strict standards. In the process, the code is minimized a bit. Be sure to test in an XHTML Strict doc type page.

Is there any way under iOS7 to show the full home screen without the 3D band at the bottom reducing picture size?

Is there any way under iOS7 to show the full home screen without the 3D band at the bottom reducing picture size? I want to see full pictures from my camera roll, not "special effects" from Apple..

By 3D band are you referring to the Dock area where apps like Safari and Mail live? If so there is no way to remove this.
