Are original installer disk images available to replace the disks that shipped with my iMac?

I have a late 2009 27" quad core i5 iMac but I don't have the restore disks that shipped with the computer. Are there replacement options available?
Thank you

YUP!
You can get replacement System Install & Restore CD/DVDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
If you're not in the US, you may need to go through the regional Apple Store that serves your location to find the contact number. Here's a list of links to all of those - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html Another resource: International Support Phone #s.

Copy of install disks that shipped with the G5?

My iMac boots with the chime, gets to the gray screen with the Apple logo on it, but then hangs. I assume I need to re-install the system. However, with the moves we've made, I find that I can't locate the install disks.
Any help on where I can locate copies of the appropriate disks?

Your welcome and thank you for the star.Did you lose the Applications disc too, unless you have upgraded to iLife 09 or iLife 11 getting that disc is a good idea.

Can I replace the Inspire 5500 decoder with a DDTS-100

Hi,
All I want to do is replace the decoder that comes with the Inspire 5.1 Digital 5500 set with a DDTS-100, and continue to use the same speakers. Is this possible?
The only thing I can see preventing this is that at the moment the the sub and the decoder have to be connected via a din socket (for control and power), but there is no din input on the DDTS-100. Will this be a problem?
Thanks in advance.

Google is a wonderful tool... Tried it's

How to downgrade from OSX 10.8.5 to Snow Leopard, on an Early 2011 MacBook Pro, without the original installer disk?

Hello! So here are the specs.
I have an Early 2011 MacBook Pro, which came with OSX 10.6.6 by default.
I've lost my installer disk so I though I'd buy a retail one from the online Apple Store, and version 10.6.3 is what they sent me.
Simply running the install OSX app won't work, I get a msg saying:
-- You can't use this version of the application "Install Mac OS X" with this version of OS X. You have "Install Mac OS X" 23.1.1. --
So, I've tried booting from the new disk hoping to erase my current drive and install Snow Leopard, but no can do, I get 3 beeps and have to force shutdown (not RAM related, see below). Laptop works fine when I spare it this maneuver.
After some research I understand 2 things:
1. Only the original installer disk will let me restore factory settings (and I don't have it).
2. I can only install the default OSX (10.6.6) or a later version (that 10.6.3 DVD may not have the correct drivers for my system).
Are these conclusions right? If so, would the Apple Store replace my disk for an updated 10.6.6. one? If not, then what are my options?
Thank you!

Is it possible to upgrade on a new HD without original installation disk?

My situation is a little complicated.
I've had my MacBook Pro for almost three years. For the past few months, I've been having some problems with a very loud droning, buzzing sound coming from the lower-right quadrant. I can only use my computer for a few hours to watch or edit videos before it starts making this noise and I have to shut it down. I posted about this a couple times before and the only response I got was that my hard drive probably needs to be replaced. So since I, nor anyone else, seems to know what the problem is, I'm probably just going to do that. This is where it gets complicated.
My original installation disk for Tiger is, presumably, at my parents' house 1500 miles away, if it still exists at all. I want to upgrade to Leopard anyways (so I can play Sims 3), but I think that it's pretty much impossible without the original disk for Tiger. I figured I would need to use my Tiger disk to set up the new hard drive, and then upgrade to Leopard straight away. Is there any possible way to install Leopard on a new hard drive without having to buy the full system (not just the upgrade)? I was thinking I could call Apple and beg and plead for a replacement Tiger disk, but I would probably just be wasting my time.
I'm starting to think that my situation here really is hopeless and my computer will never be able to be useful to me again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for the speedy reply. That looks like just what I was looking for. I'm going to go buy that right now and I hope this is the end of my searching for a solution. Thanks so much.
I have one question though (it may be stupid, but I'm not very literate on Macs): will the program back up my whole operating system or just my files? Like, will I be able to install the OS from the backup?

Are OS installation disks still regionalised?

I'm trying to find an OS 10.4.6 or whatever installation DVD and there are a few available in the US. (I'm in the UK.) There are very occasional examples available in the UK.
My question is: *Are Apple installation disks still regionalised as they were in the old days - ie will I end up with a US version of the OS if I buy a US-sourced DVD?*
I want to keep Classic and believe 10.4.6 has it. Though finding copies is turning up some VERY expensive software at over $215 or over GBP200 for an installation DVD. I guess the fact that 10.4.6 is the last OS with Classic (?) is really pushing its price up! I did find one in California at $119 the other day but shipping was going to be the same again.
(I presently have 10.3.9 on my laptop G4 which is the one I want to change. (I have 10.5.6 on the desktop G5 but I have to keep one machine capable of running Classic applications for the forseeable future.))

The Tiger install DVDs include various world-wide languages that you can select from at installation.
If you currently have OS 9.x installed which enables you to operate in classic mode, the OS 9 system files in a folder called System Folder will not be disturbed when you upgrade to Tiger.
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.

There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request

I am trying to recover from a catastrophic SBS 2008 disk failure.
This machine was a stand-alone Domain Controller, and as luck would (NOT!) have it, both disks in a RAID1 configuration failed in rapid succession. Therefore, all I have is server backups to work with.
I have tried many permutations to get this data restored and the domain functional again, but so far, no dice.
I have successfully restored the system disk data from the most recent backup, but when I go to boot the system, I get a reboot loop. When I tell it not to reboot on error, it gives me:
S c00002e2 Directory Services could not start because of the following error: A device attached to the system is not functioning. Error Status: 0xc0000001. Please shutdown this system and
reboot into Directory Services Restore mode, check the event log for more detailed information.
When I reboot into Directory Services Restore Mode, the system quickly says that AD is clean, but doesn't take me to a command prompt, it takes me to the login screen. When I try to log in as Domain admin, it says:
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request
And I'm stuck. Unless I can somehow find out what the local admin credentials are, I can't get in to the system.
I have removed the disk and put it in a Hard drive enclosure, so I can access the files.
At first, I had some complaints about the disk driver, so I found the correct driver version from Intel to circumvent that problem when doing the restore.
I can boot from the installation disk, but I can't use wbadmin from there in the restore mode.
Right now, I'm trying an earlier backup, but something tells me I might have some real trouble here. This has turned in to quite the mess.
I have also tried reinstalling the OS to a new RAID array, but am loath to try putting the backup on there for fear I will be taken back to square one.
Do I have to start from scratch and recreate the domain and rejoin all the computers to it, or do I have a better alternative?
I have actually restored a SBS 2008 stand-alone DC from backup before, but that was RAID 5, so slightly different. I seem to remember having some driver headaches with that, but I did overcome them by getting into recovery and replacing the driver files
on the disk. Tried that here, but still no luck.

I know many have this issue but i can't find a solution to the problem. i get message saying insuffisiant disk space in the volume iPhoto library and i have plenty of space available. i have the new macbook pro with retina display. i have never seen this message before and i have 2 other macbooks and have had many other also. i am assuming this is a problem with the new macbook retina. does anyone know the exact fix to this issue? i have seen many sugestions to try to fix this issue but none have solved the issue for anyone that i can find in the Apple Support Community. thank for looking into this in advance.
******A true apple fan********

Actually your suggestions are the ones that i have tried. i have seen that you have tried to help others with this issue and the only one that i could find that said they found the problem said that it was an ilife update issue and it fixed it and i have no available updates. i know it has to do with something in photo stream because it happens when i create a new library and it is loading the photos but i get the message before i reach the maximum 1000 photos. so i've tried updating, new library(first backing up photos and then deleting them from iPhoto), reinstalling OSX many times, running disc utilities. I called Apple the first day i had this issue and i was the first person to call them for support with the retina display and i actually had it escalated to a senior advisor and we thought we fixed the problem but we did not. i am pretty fluent in dealing with troubleshooting these type of issues and this is the first time i'm reaching out to the community. i figured now that the retina has been out some time now that there would be an obvious answer to this issue. thanks for the quick reply.

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area. I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest

I have created a site with iWeb. I have replaced the iWeb Nav bar with a vertical one I made myself. Problem is, my top button disables itself (and the animation doesn't work) if it overlaps into the "hidden" nav bar area (indicated by a blue rectangle). I can cmd click and drag it into this area, but then all the rest of my site is pushed down the page. Don't know what to do about this. I don't know how to bring the rest of the page up without dragging it also into the designated nav bar area. Also, by doing this, is it affecting my site in ant way? see my site here at www.steveburrowsimages.com
The home page is with it all draged into the nav bar area and the about page is with is outside the nav bar area (notice that the top button does not animate or work as a button.
Getting confused here. Anyone got any ideas?

Well, you made a good start with SEO by getting rid of the iWeb default navigation since it doesn't help the spiders and, out there in the real world, there are more people than you would think with javascript turned off in their browsers.
One of the downsides of iWeb is that it doesn't allow for the alt attribute in the img tag. Its well worth adding these to give you extra keywords even if you have captioned all your images. Use iWeb SEO Tool for this...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/Search-Engine-Optimization/Tags.html
iWeb, just like most drag and drop software, creates a huge amount of code which causes the pages to load slowly in the browser. Running you files through an optimizer will help to reduce this problem and further reduce the size of image files even beyond the initial optimization you do before loading them into iWeb...

I want to sell my MBP. How do I completely erase my 2007, 17-inch Macbook Pro that is currently running Snow Leopard. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL DISK THAT CAME WITH THE BOX ANYMORE.

I want to sell off my old MacBook Pro and do not want any of my old stuff on it for the next person to fool around with. I'd like a clean-slate for the next guy/gal. It's a 17-inch that I purchased back in '07. It is currently running Snow Leopard after I installed it myself about two years ago. I DO NOT HAVE THE ORIGINAL DISK THAT CAME WITH THE LAPTOP IN THE BOX.

No problem, stick in your 10.6.3 Snow Leopard retail disk you used to upgrade from 10.4/10.5 with
If you don't have this disk anymore, you can order one online at Apple.com for $29, they don't sell it in the physical stores.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A
Reboot holding the c or option key down to boot from the disk, select Disk Utility from under the Utilities menu on the second screen (first is language selection)
Now select your boot drive on the left with the drive makers name and disk size and click Erase > Security Option > Zero All Data and click Erase
It will take some time to complete as it's making sure all your personal data if not easily recoverable off the drive using software.
Now quit and you will be back in the installer window, install 10.6 and it will reboot to the "Welcome Video" you can choose to press the power button down and do a hard shutdown, the computer will boot again to this video for the next owner.
If you need even more security in your data deletion efforts I suggest you read this

Do I need the original disk that came with a mac or can I just buy the OS software??

Hi I recently bought a used macbook and the seller did not have the original disks that came with the computer. What I was wondering is if I needed to install a new hard drive in the event that mine fails, can I just buy a copy of the OS and install it on the new hard drive or do I need the specific disks that came with the machine??
Thanks for your help

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You say that you have Mac OS X 10.7.5, so if it came preinstalled, see that you can't reinstall it because it's registered to the old owner. Call Apple to get replacement DVDs
If you want, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion. See if your computer is supported > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs Open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion

"Error Message" "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request"

Full Error Message

As I am not particularly tech savvy, am not the one who set up this network drive, I dont want to interfere with it too much. I simply want to be able to get a basic understanding of the issue. We had set up a previous share, since deleted, that allowed
us to have a shared folder to work on documents between the US and Ireland. This new share has been working fine up until yesterday, when we got the above error messages when trying to access the share. Later in the day, it just worked again. Today, I go to
open the folder and the same error messages turned up, what could be going on??

Hi Tomas,
Did your computer join the domain? How did you access that shared resource?
Please turn off your firewall temporarily and type the correct UNC address to access for test:
\\servername\sharename \file_path
If it doesn't work, use the IP address of the remote server when you try to connect to the network share.

Changing network password...There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request in Windows 8 and 8.1 Enterprise

We currently are running Windows 7 in our enterprise environment. Everything works as expected when the user tries to
change their network password via crtl+alt+del, change a password. We are now testing and trying to deploy Windows 8.1 to a test group and are running into an issue when any AD user tries to change their network password. The user can logon to the
PC just fine when the PC is on the domain, however as soon as they go to change their password they are getting the error "There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request". The end result is that the user can not change
their password. We tried this via connected to the dock with a network cable, on corporate wireless, with a Windows 8.1 machine completely patched over with all Microsoft patches, and a Windows 8.1 machine that is not patched and are running into the same
issue. Has anyone ran into this? Is there something that has to be changed on the infrastructure side?

"There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request." when trying to access a shared folder in domain environment.

Hi,
I already have a windows server 2003 working as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) and now I created another windows server 2012 to work as an Additional Domain Controller (ADC).
- PDC is doing (Active directory domain services + DNS + DHCP)
- ADC is doing (Active directory domain services + DNS)
For testing purposes, I shutdown the PDC and let the ADC up and running. Now, Whenever I try to access a shared folder on any server in the domain, I got this message "\\x.x.x.x is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource.
Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
There are currently no logon servers available to service the logon request."
Actually, the replication of AD objects and DNS records between the PDC and ADC is done successfully. I also can resolve names using the ADC's DNS. Also, I can ping servers hosting the files I want to access.
Appreciate your help.

The PDCe is required for a lot of services, to include DFS.
Turn the PDC back on and try again. If it's still not working, ensure the file server has the correct DNS entries on the NIC.
I think I see what you were trying to test. The issue is that not all DCs are equal. Yes, they hold the same information, but some DCs do extra work. That is why FSMOs exist.
Let me know how it goes.
