Can't find the disk that came w/ my imac g5!

Soooo... my 4 year old imac g5 won't boot up past the blue screen of death... i've gotten it to safe boot and removed all login items and it still won't really start up, so according to many forums i should try using the cd that came with it and installed OS10... but... i've torn apart my desk and can't find it ANYWHERE. is there any way mac could send me another one? are there any other useful suggestions? thanks so much for any help you can give me, i love my little mac and am soooo upset that its not working.

Call 800-767-2775, give them your exact model and serial number and they will send you the install discs for a nominal fee.

    Hello ut2729,
    If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, this can be achieved using the Recovery HD.
    OS X Mountain Lion: Erase and reinstall OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11273
    You can erase your Mac and then reinstall OS X using the built-in recovery disk. Before you erase and reinstall, back up your essential files. If you’re installing on a portable computer, make sure your power adapter is connected and plugged in.
    Important: To reinstall OS X, you need to be connected to the Internet.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Once your Mac restarts (and the gray screen appears), hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys.
    If you’re not connected to the Internet, choose a network from the Wi-Fi menu (in the top-right corner of the screen).
    Select Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
    Select your startup disk from the list on the left, and then click the Erase tab.
    From the Format pop-up menu, choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
    After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
    Select Reinstall OS X, click Continue, and then follow the instructions.For more information about reinstalling OS X, see this help topic:Reinstall OS X
    You can also create an external recovery disk. For more information, see this Apple Support article:
    About Recovery Disk Assistant
    Cheers,
    Allen

  • I have an old G5 MAC I want to recycle but I need to clean my drive.  I can't find the diskette that came with the MAC to do this.  Any suggestions

    Any suggestions on wiping my MAC drives clean if I don't have the diskette that came with it?

    Don't mean to upstage a level 6 Tech but having just wiped my own G5 for reinstall, I know you can do it on the computer monitor.  If by "recycle" you mean to sell or give away the computer, go to Disk Utilities (in Application/Utilities) and hit the erase button, choose the 35x swipe and it's supposed to clean it completely within a couple of hours.  I did the 7x wipe and got a sudo (single user que) showing nothing but the presence of BSD initiation and a "We're hanging here".  Did a reinstall and it's beautiful.

  • Where can I download photoshop cs 8.0  I have the serial number from the case but I can't find the Cd that came with it.  I can't find where to download the software for it so I can just enter the serial number and download the program.

    I am trying to find at least the trial version so that I can enter the serial number that I have on the back of the case and activate the full version so I can get some work I need to get done finished.  My laptop was thrown away after a flood in my basement and I believe the cd was still in it.  I don't recall ever taking it out.

    Forget your existing disc and serial number. They won't work.
    Download the new non-activation version of CS2 (applies to CS owners as well) from
    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2, Acrobat 7, Audition 3
    Install then enter the new serial number provided at that link.

  • I can't find the tunes that came from my PC

    Hello All,
    In the PC ITUNES application I can see the dozens of songs I have on the PC and ITUNES shows them all. I can play them all on the PC. But when it comes to the IPHONE I cannot find them. The ITUNES APP just wants to sell me their songs. I want to play the ones on the PC. How is this done?
    Thanks, Bob

    Try using the ipod application, not the itunes application. The ipod application is orange, should be on the main application page on your iphone

  • I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    I purchased the Logitech F310 game controller for my 2011 MacBook Pro. How do I get the driver installed for it. The Disk that came with the controller is a mini disk and will not insert into my laptop.

    May not make a difference anyway. The Logitech support site does not show drivers for Mac OS for the F310:
    http://www.logitech.com/en-us/support/gamepad-f310?crid=411
    I'd contact their support to find out if there is a Mac driver available, and if they can either give you a web link to get it, e-mail you the software, or snail-mail you a standard-size disk with the drivers.

    I accidentally deleted garageband and I can not find the disks how to recover it?

    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

  • Is it possible to disable the trackpad when a wireless or usb mouse is present? With Lion 10.7.2, I can not find the checkbox that was there before I installed Lion. Is the option gone on Lion?

    Is it possible to disable the trackpad when a wireless or usb mouse is present? With Lion 10.7.2, I can not find the checkbox that was there before I installed Lion. Is the option gone on Lion?

    There is no BIOS in OS X. There is only the EFI stored in ROM that is not user modifiable. OS X is probably checking Bay 0 for the boot drive since that is where it should be. It won't check the Tempo drive since it is treated like an external drive. I suggest you open Startup Disk preferences to see if the Tempo device is selected as the boot device. If it isn't, then select it. That will probably shave off a few seconds in the startup time.

  • Firefox 3.6.8. I can't find the tabs that I had open during several recent sessions.

    Firefox 3.6.8. I can't find the tabs that I had open during several sessions, the last of which was in Dec 2010. I've looked at various Views under History>Show all history. Are my old tabs stored somewhere (maybe in the Profiles folder) where I can access them? Sorry, I know that this question has probably been asked many times in the forum, but I haven't found a solution yet.

    This can be caused by anti-virus software/ real time scanners. Please try to disable the anti-virus software and try again. '''Do not forget to enable it after!'''

  • Help! I deleted my System preferences by mistake! I'm absolutely positive they are gone. Unfortunately so are the disks that came with it. I'm using an Imac with os 10.4.11. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Help! I deleted my System preferences by mistake! I'm absolutely positive they are gone. I checked spotlight, blue apple and the hard drive, applications. Gone. Unfortunately so are the disks that came with it. I'm using an Imac with os 10.4.11. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Try cleaning the disc, and be sure you have the right one.
    If that doesn't help, it sounds like it's time for a trip to the Apple Store.

  • HT204266 I need a receipt for OS Mountain Lion. I can't find the email thats supposed to be sent automatically

    I need a receipt for OS Mountain Lion for my workplace. I can't find the email that's supposed to be sent automatically. Any suggestions ?

    If you just purchased Mountain Lion, wait a couple of days. It sometimes takes that long for the receipt to arrive. Also check any anti-spam filters on your email application or email account to make sure that messages from Apple aren't being blocked.
    If no receipt shows up within a couple of days, you can ask your company if a screen print of the order information from the Purchase History, which should be available through iTunes by viewing your account, would be sufficient. If not, you can contact Mac App Store Customer Service and ask if they can resend the receipt.
    Regards.

  • Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

    Where can I find the purchases that were made from itunes and apps?

    You can view the full purchase history on your account via your computer's iTunes : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option, you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it. Click on that and you should then see a list of your purchases.
    On an iOS device you can only view the last 90 days purchases (and optionally contact iTunes Support if you have a problem with one of them) via http://reportaproblem.apple.com
