Can't find restore disk for 10.2

Have a 2003ish imac & can't find the restore disk & would like to sell imac. How do I clean it? What can I tell the next person that wants to buy?
Is there a way of replacing that disk from somewhere?
Thanks

You can use Target Disk Mode to zero out your drive, and you can call Apple Customer Relations 800-767-2775 if you are in the US, and see if they have the install discs for your machine.
If you can't get the discs, you should buy a retail copy of the latest OS your machine can run, and use that both to remove your data, snd to give to the purchaser.

  • How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk.

    How can I create a start up disk for a old intel core duo running 10.5.8.. Computer works fine, but can't find install disk. Want to use internal disk drive or USD flash drive.

    Try calling 1-800-676-2775.  Give the serial number and thy *may* still burn you new install disks designed just for the hrdware in your system (for a fee, something like $160 per disk).  *May* is only because they may not burn disks for Leopard anymore.
    If they do not burn them for you, you can buy Leopard disks off Amazon or eBay for about $200.
    Have you considered Snow Leopard?.  Those disks only cost $19 (single user) or $29 (5-user license) through Apple by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.

    My iLife v9.03 Install disk is corrupt. Where can I find a download for the the app (not update) at apple support online ?

    I have an iLife 11 disc that doesn't work very well so I tried creating a disk image of it with Disk Utility.  It took two tries but finally got a disk image that I could use to install the iLife 11 applications. Give it a try.

  • Where can I find iPhoto download for OS 10.9

    Where can I find iPhoto download for OS 10.9 on a Mac Book Air

    reinstall from the original source
    Could be
    1 - the restore disks that came with the computer - if it came with CDs and you do not know where they are then contact Apple to see if they can be replaced
    or
    2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
    or
    3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

  • Can't find sn number for my installed copy

    I own Iwork 09 (family), but can't find my disk and sn number and need to install this on our new laptop. Is there a way to find the sn number in the installed software on my imac?
    I probably bought it at the apple store, so I'm not sure how I would get a record
    or my purchase.

    Hi John,
    If your program is part of a creative cloud subscription, it uses your adobe id instead of a serial number.
    If creative cloud is asking for a serial number, see this link:  Creative Cloud applications ask for serial number
    If you need to find your serial number for a non-creative cloud product,start by signing in to your Adobe account. On the Manage Accounts page that appears, all of your registered products and their serial numbers are listed in the Plans & Products section. For more information on locating serial numbers, or on registering a serial number, please see Find a serial number.

  • Where can I find the manual for my Mac OS?

    ver. 10.7.3: 2.4 GHz core 2 Duo with 4 GB of DRAM.
    I have three questions:
    1. Where can I find the manual for my machine i.e. hardware manual and or consumer/connaisseur manual?
    2. Does it have a zip media drive? I'm looking at the left side of the machine and I see small square shaped slot for a disk of this sort. I know this is a common type of media storage for cameras and would like to confirm that it is zip.
    3. And while i'm at it, could you remind me of the uses of the two ports advancing towards the back of the computer next to the USB inputs.
    PS: I'm also interested in any technical information concerning Apple hardware and if you could direct me to the appropriate forums I would appreciate it.
    Thank you in advance.
    Sincerely
    Shawn

    I will dubb the theme of this thread: the mass storage data problem and by problem I mean how can we store data in the most cost-efficient and efficacious manor possible if we can classify data storage strategies into two groups respectively: 1) the individual stragegy and 2) the corporate stragegy. The individual, we will say, is rational and seeks to store as much data as possible in the megabyte range, the gigabyte range and the terabyte range. How will he or the corporation, of conglomerate, large, mid-size or start-up size i.e. 2 - 200 people procede. Please feel free to enhance the dialog of this post in the framework of the corporate schema vs. individual and change the estimations, exp: 2 -200, to fit a realistic scenario of what i'm trying to evoke here.
    I'll start of with
    MB range = 4 GB Lexar standard USB bought at Dwain Reed (note: this is just a starting point to provoke dialog and don't intend this as a suggestion)
    GB range = the portable hard drive at the suggestion of Michael Black of NC
    TB range = tape media, at my suggestion that older devices could be used to read the data where an external hard-drive could be used as an intermediary component to transfer data to newer devices, say the portable hard-drive of Mr. Black and an internal-hard drive which is standard in an older machine. We will say that the labor/work required to remove either is irrelevant as our time is assumed to be worthless within reasonable bounds.

    I need to install software on a computer without a dvd drive.  Where can I find the download for the student edition?

    Perhaps you can copy it using a different computer, from the disk to a USB key.
    However, external DVD drives are cheap and in my view essential.

  • Can we find ASM DISK on which a DB datablock exists ?

    Can we find ASM DISK on which a DB datablock exists ?

    Hi,
    Yes in some cases I think, its not easy though - it would also be dependent on how your disk group is configured, for instance if you have variable extent sizes then it will be much more difficult.
    Why do you need to do this?
    Thanks

    Replacement System Discs can be obtained from Apple's Customer Support - US (800) 767-2775 for a nominal fee. You'll need to have the model and 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 - http://store.apple.com/Catalog/US/Images/intlstoreroutingpage.html

  • Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application - multiple copies of Office 2013 x32 failing to start, Software Protection Service timing out

    We're experiencing a growing problem with our users in several different domains running in to Microsoft Office 2013 x32 'activation' issues.  We use KMS for licensing, which works properly, but some of the machines (~20-30 out of 1000+) sporadically
    throw the following error:
    'Microsoft Office can't find your license for this application.  Microsoft Office will now exit.'
    We know it's not an issue with the licenses per se, since they work on and off and we can force KMS activation correctly / talk to the KMS servers.
    It appears to be an issue with the Software Protection service not starting properly.  In Event Viewer, we see the following:
    'Software protection service failed to start due to the following error- the service did not respond in a timely fashion.
    Event 7000'
    This is occurring on a variety of machines in a variety of environments, all fully patched with the latest Office updates.  It's inconsistent, and the 'manually restart the Software Protection Service' solution is not viable as it's occurring on many
    different workstations.  Office repairs have also been unsuccessful.  
    Has anyone else come across this? Or have any idea why the Software Protection Service might be sporadically failing?  Maybe an Office update in the last 2-3 months?
    Thanks for any info.

  • WebtopNaming - can not find server name for server ID

    We have a LB, and web servers in front of OpenSSO app servers in our environment.
    OpenSSO debug log CoreSystem fills up with lot of errors like these:
    ERROR: WebtopNaming.getServerFromID() can not find server name for server ID : 07
    com.iplanet.services.naming.ServerEntryNotFoundException: Cannot find server.
    Sometimes, it even complains about a server id (07 in the following trace) which doesn't even exist in the Site Id Table.
    There are no changes in the configuration. DNS is properly configured and all the servers and their connectivity are available. CoreSystem throws these errors even after a restart of opensso app servers.
    Any ideas about the root cause?

    Thank You for the response.
    Here is my site configuration in OpenSSO:
    There are 4 servers in the two opensso hosts (2 secure, 2 non secure)
    Servers:
    http://host4.company.com:8080/openSSO
    http://host5.company.com:8080/openSSO
    https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO
    https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO
    Only one site with secure URLs is configured
    Sites:
    site1
    Primary URL: https://opensso-qa.company.com:443/openSSO
    Assigned Servers:
    https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO
    https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO
    From the CoreSystem log, Server ID definitions are:
    https://host4.company.com:8443/openSSO=01
    https://host5.company.com:8443/openSSO=02
    https://opensso-qa.company.com:443/openSSO=03
    http://host4.company.com:8080/openSSO=04
    http://host5.company.com:8080/openSSO=05
    Sometimes it throws an exception with existing server IDs. But sometimes it also complains about non existing server IDs.
