Bootable copy of asd 2.6.3

i need a bootable copy of asd 2.6.3 does anyone know where i can get it or if anyone can send me a copy

Hmmm. Googling "ASD 2.6.3" got me here.
I recently purchased a Quad G5 off ebay, and still need an HDD and powercable forit,which havebeen ordered... I opened the DVDdrive and found a burned DVD labeled "ASD 2.6.3"
I take it this is a badsign in termsofwhether it works or not? I've checked the case out and it looks just fine... pretty dusty but I cleaned that out.I haven'tbeen able to look at the LCS,but fromwhat I have been able to see inside it, apart from being realy dusty there seems like no liquids ever damaged/leaked...
Once I get the DVD read I could send u a copy if you'd like=)

I have made a bootable copy of ML and want to load it on another laptop running SL. What do I need to do in order to avoid losing any files. I do not want to do a clean install.

I have made a bootable copy (8GB thumb drive) of ML and want to load it on another Apple laptop running SL. What do I need to do in order to avoid losing any files. I do not want to do a clean install. I know ML is comptible.

I'm getting an error message when ML is almost completely installed and it stops the install. Is there any way to get back to the snow leopard operating system and scrap the ML install at this point. I had to shut the Mac book off and when I started again it tried to install ML a second time. It is still trying to install but at this point I don't want to screw anything up any further so just want to get back to SL.
Any suggestions.

I want to move a bootable copy of Mountain Lion to an external HD before I upgrade to Maverics. How do I do this?

I am preparing to upgrade to Mavericks. I want to put a bootable copy of Mountain Lion on an external hard drive so that I may run apps that aren't yet compatible with Mavericks. How do I do this?

You will need an external HD and either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Both will create bootable clones of your of your system. One is not "better" than the other, to be honest it's simple user preference in the UI. Once you have created your clone boot from it to test and once you have validated it works then you can download Mavericks and begin using it. You can Google for each app and download them, each cost approximately $40-$60.
In the event you want to go back to ML the clone will provide that freedom. Or if you simply need to use ML to get to Apps that only run on that version of OS X then you can. I would recommend getting an EHD that has the fastest connection your computer has output for. For example if your machine has a Thunderbolt connection, get a EHD that supports Thunderbolt.

Can you use the "Restore" function in Disk Utility to clone MacBook Pro HDD and make a bootable copy?

I'm cloning my MacBook Pro's HDD to a SSD and didn't really want to install another app (SuperDuper, CCC), can I just use the Restore function in Disk Utility app to clone it and make a bootable copy on my SSD?
Thank you for the help!

Yes.

Using iPhoto on external HD- bootable copy

I've used super duper to make a bootable copy of 10.6.4 on an external HD. If I want to delete my iPhoto library on my MBP to free up some space, can I just use the iPhoto on the bootable copy as my iPhoto Library? I launch iPhoto and press option and choose the new loaction? Thanks.

can I just use the iPhoto on the bootable copy as my iPhoto Library? I launch iPhoto and press option and choose the new loaction?
Yes. Note that you should have a backup of it.
Verify the copied library works before deleting the original.

Create Bootable Copy of OS 10.6 Install Disk

I purchased the family pack of Snow Leopard 10.6. I tried to make a backup copy of the disk in case anything ever happened to it. I used disk utility to create a disk image and then burnt it to a DVD. When I tried to use the backup disk to install OS X 10.6 on my Macbook, it would not reboot into the OS X install after I clicked install. I was doing an erase and install and when it said to restart I did so, but it only booted back into 10.5 and the disk image mounted. It is obvious I did not create a bootable copy of the disk image. Can anyone give me some help on how to do this so I could install from the backup disk in case the original was damaged somehow? I did use the original and had no problem with the erase and install.

Thanks, I will try that. The DL DVD disks are good and have not failed me yet..
well, good for you but I had to burn through several of them once to make a working copy of the leopard DVD. they are not cheap so the price adds up quickly. since then I use the method suggested by hatter. I have small partitions on one of my internal drives with copies of the leopard and snow leopard disks. they are VERY fast. leopard install takes about 20 minutes and it will probably be even faster with snow leopard.

Installing from a bootable copy of installation disk

I am at my parent's house, and I need to install os 10.5 onto their ibook. I was already giving them some music and stuff, so I brought a bootable copy of the os 10.5 install disk on my firewire drive. The problem is, my drive is formatted GUID and I can;t boot off of it with the ibook. So, I am on my macbook pro now, trying to figure out if I can use target disk mode or something to somehow install the OS through here. Is there any option to install the OS on the ibook without having to go home and get my apple partition HD? Any help would be great, thanks.

If you have the retail Leopard DVD you can clone it to a flash drive that is partitioned using APM - not GUID. The flash drive needs to be at least 8 GBs. Start by prepping it:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.
Then put the Leopard DVD into the optical drive and clone it to the flash drive:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the USB flash drive.
Source means the Leopard DVD volume.
*Now, this will only work if your iBook will boot from a USB device. Most pre-Intel Macs cannot be booted from a USB device, so don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work.*

Will bootable copy of drive recreate problems with overheating?

Hi, all, first let me say I am outside of my comfort range with my skills so some of these questions may seem pretty dumb. So, sorry for that.
Through my own posts and reading the posts of others, it is clear I have to take in a MacBook Pro 17" Core Duo Intel to get it fixed (almost out of warranty so I have to move on it). It spins and gets hot with the lid closed, freezes when opened and requires restart a couple of times a day, sometimes has a long buzz on force restart. I probably mangled the transfer of files from an iBook, though using migration assistant - may have transferred incompatible settings somehow. I got an external drive from OWC and am ready to download SuperDuper! at the recommendation of many of you experts. We run Leopard on the Pro 17" and will need to use a MacBook Pro 15" Core Duo Intel running Tiger as the "keyboard and screen" from the bootable drive I plan to create on the external drive. (BTW, I have never done this before) Would we expect any of the power management/sleep issues to be recreated? Obviously if it is a hardware issue, I would expect NOT to see it, but is there a chance it is software related and would therefore show up on the clone? Thanks.

Yes it does sound like you need to send in your MBP soon before the warranty expires. Be sure to do that. My niece did that recently, and got a very fast turnaround. She sent it off at 6:00 PM on a Tuesday, and it was back by Thursday morning.
It is a little difficult to say what is going on from your description, and I'm not entirely clear on what you are doing.
Super Duper (which I use) will make an exact copy of your hard drive on the new external drive. If you have corrupted software or something like that, it will be the same on the external.
To make the clone, you connect the new drive to the 17" MBP and when it has mounted, just launch Super Duper and specify the source and target volumes and Super Duper will do the rest. You will then have an exact bootable copy of your drive on the external drive.
You will then be able to boot the 17" MBP from the clone. I don't know if you can boot the 15" from it or not. If the builds of the two machines are different, you may not be able to. However, you should still be able to mount the clone on the 15" MBP and access the data.
I have read of many problems in migrating data from a Power PC platform to an Intel Machine using Migration Assistant, so you could have some problems with that. Here is Kappy's Guide for doing this:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=435350&tstart=0
For power management and sleep issues, have you tried resetting the SMC?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411?viewlocale=en_US
It probably won't fix all the problems on your 17", but it could fix some of them.
Have you tried running the extended version of the Apple Hardware test on the 17"? It might give an error code saying what is wrong with it. If so, let Apple know when you send it in.
The real question is whether or not the 15" MBP will boot from the clone. I don't know if it will if the machine builds are very different. If it does boot, there is still a possibility that it may not run perfectly due to the difference in build.
The real value of the clone is to preserve all your data before you send the machine in. You may even want to wipe the old drive of any sensitive data before sending it off. If the old drive is replaced under warranty, you will not get it back. Even if it is not replaced, often the drive is erased and the OS reinstalled in the troubleshooting process, so there is no counting on getting back your data unless you make a backup, which is exactly what you plan to do.
When you get the 17" MBP back, you can use Super Duper again to clone everything back from the external drive to the internal drive.
I'm not sure if this answers your question or not. Please post back if you need further clarification on anything.
Good luck!

Why do I need a bootable copy of my hard drive?

A little while ago I got a little too enthusiastic about reclaiming space on the drive and mistakenly deleted my Receipts folder. So far the eMac is fine, but I've been advised I should perform an archive and reinstall of the system, and, just in case, to make a bootable backup of my hard drive first, and to buy an external hard drive that could make such a copy.
My question is why I need a bootable copy of the hard drive. I'm a light user (internet, Quicken, no video games, movies or graphics processing), and after deleting duplicate mp3 files, unused printer drivers, stripping unneeded languages from programs, and cleaning out those un-deleted files left after deleting programs, I'm down to 13G used on my 40G hard drive (and the old beast just whizzes around). I can save that much stuff on my (new) 16G USB drive, which won't be bootable. So, why should I worry about bootability?

You know, I think you're right. I'm marking this solved because you just validated my thought. My to-do list is long enough without hovering over a hard drive for a couple of evenings and hoping and praying I do things right.
The Apple store is open today, but I think I'll wait until tomorrow and toddle over to our local Mac reseller (buy local-ish!) and pick up something that's plug-n-play. And, even though I've only got a 40G drive, and about 20G to back up, I'll probably end up buying something bigger (and partition a small volume for my backup) so that when I finally do buy a new computer I'll already have a backup drive.

I nee to make a bootable copy of Maverick

I nee to make a bootable copy of Maverick. I have the instructins but i was wondering:
If i download maverick again will it try to load onto my current system? OR can i just quit installation and drag it from applications?
thanks.

The installer will start, but wait for you to start clicking to continue. You just Quit (Command-Q). Then look for Applications -> "Install OS X Mavericks".
DiskMakerX is very good at making a bootable Mavericks installer on an 8GB or larger USB flash drive, or SD Card, or external disk. It might be possible to create a bootable Double Layer DVD, but I've never done that.

Making a bootable copy of Lion from pre-installed OS on new iMac

How do I make a bootable copy of Lion from a new iMac that had Lion pre-nstalled at purchase? I would like to create a back up copy on an external drive for 2 reasons. First, I want to have an external copy in case there is an issue on the iMac in the future. Second, I would like to upgrade my Mac Book Pro which is currently running 10.5.8 to Lion. I do not want to purchase a flash drive copy of Lion from Apple after spending the money to buy a new iMac.
I could use Carbon Copy Cloner to make a bootable copy of my iMac, and afterwards install the copy on the Mac Book Pro. This would take much more time, and I still wouldn't have a back up copy of Lion on an external drive.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, in advance.

FWIW, you need both Snow Leopard ($20 USD) and Lion ($30 USD) to upgrade the MBP. Both are only available from Apple's online store's telesales agents: 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753) or Customer Service and Sales Support at 1-800-676-2775. Snow Leopard comes on a DVD, but for Lion, you'll get a redemptions code via e-mail and need to DL it from the Mac Apple Store after installing SL and updating to 10.6.6+. If you're outside the US, then try the appropriate international number.
If you go that route, quit the installer after it DLs and save a copy to a safe place, since the ill-designed installer deletes itself during the installation process, necessitating wasting resources if you need to reinstall or restore. With a saved copy, you can reinstall w/o wasting any time, bandwidth, or electricity. The Lion installer is 3.6+ GB, which takes over an hour to DL with a high-speed connection at 10 Mbps.

My Retina Mac came with 10.8, how can I make a bootable copy of 10.8?

My Retina Mac came with 10.8, how can I make a bootable copy of 10.8?

Do Internet recovery, download the installer, choose an external HD to install it to, when the comp restarts, disconnect the External HD before it turns back on.
Extract the Install.dmg and put it on your desktop, then use disk utility to install that onto your external HD.

Need to make a bootable copy of my OS 10.6

I have a registered copy of Snow Leopard but can't find my disk. How do I make a bootable copy of the system on my external hard drive?

Your going to need your Snow Leoaprd install disks one day,
So cloning software will make a clone of your OS X boot partition/drive to a blank HFS+ journaled (Disk Utility) formated drive and do as a "hold option key" bootable backup of your entire OS X system.
But in the meanwhile call Apple and have your serial number ready, order replacement Snow Leopard grey disks that came with your machine, it will take some time to come.
If you upgraded from Leopard with the white Snow Leopard retail disks, you just have to buy new copies at Amazon or other places.
You can make copies of your Snow disks here, you will need a dual layer DVD burner.
