Can't reinstall upgrades due to OS X / Classic 9.2.2 / FCP 1.2.5 problem

I had to wipe my HD and reinstall Tiger (plus OS 9.2.2 classic). To reinstall my upgrade copy of FCP 4.0 HD I also needed to reinstall my original 1.2.5. full purchase copy from way, way back when (2000).
But now I'm stuck because 1.2.5. won't start and let me complete the registration as required by the upgrade packages. With classic running, I get an error message saying "That application or control panel is not supported by classic."

Alas, the 3.0 upgrade installer says "Registration error (2): You must have a registered copy of final cut pro installed. Please reinsert final cut pro from its origional CD, launch it and complete the registration screen before running this updater."

New IPhone 5 and can't sync due to ITunes version, which can't be upgraded due to OSX version 10.5.8. Appears Apple is forcing my to upgrade my OS. How do I go about it?

Or is there another way to sync my apps, contacts, photos, music, etc from my old phone to my new phone?

Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
and in the UK:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
but nobody knows for how long it will be available.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
To use iCloud you have to upgrade at least to Lion, but some functions are only available in Mountain Lion:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4759
You can also purchase the code to use to download Lion (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard), or you can purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store - if you can run that:

Deleted itunes by accident and now can't reinstall it due to error message

I deleted Itunes on my Windows 7 computer by accident and when I went to reinstall it, I got an error message saying "There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact you support personnel or package vendor." What do I do now?!

Reinstall/Upgrade PowerMac G5

A few months ago I bought an Apple PowerMac G5 from an auction from a company that didn't survived the crisis.
It's a very nice piece of equipment, but I can't make full use of it because it has a admin password that nobody knows...
So I would like to reinstall or upgrade it (I didn't get any cd's with it). The problem is that it has an non-intel processor.
Specs (all from system profiler):
Model: PowerMac7,2
OS:Mac OS X 10.4.11
Processor: PowerPC 970 (2.2)
Memory: 4.5GB
More specs if needed.
So my real question is, how can I reinstall/upgrade my PowerMac, and what OS version can I use (highest). I would like to have a clean (new) mac after the install, because there is still a lot of crap on it from the last owner.
I hope somebody can help me, thanks in advance.

You might try the following:
Boot into single-user mode by holding down the cmd-S key combination at power up until you get to the black Unix terminal screen. Once there, type the following three commands:
/sbin/mount -uw / <enter>
rm /private/var/db/.AppleSetupDone <enter>
shutdown -r now <enter>
What should happen after the third command is a reboot into the Welcome interrogation, by which you will set up a new primary account with admin privileges. You will be able to define the password for that account and administer the computer as if it had just had the system installed. Be sure to include the period in the .AppleSetupDone filename.

How can I reinstall a downloaded version of CS5.5 without a purchase upgrade to CS6.0?

My hard drive had issues and needed to be wiped clean. I just want to reinstall the original version and not pay to upgrade due to a hard drive issue.

You can download CS5.5 products from - http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
You will need serial number to activate CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/find-serial-number.html

My iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each one upon reinstalling the backup copy? Thank you for help

Almost my iTunes library is missing since upgrade Lion 7.2. (the last 2.5 weeks worth of added music has transferred post-upgrade, none of whcih was bought from iTunes)
I have it all backed up so that's not the issue. How can I reinstall it with all my hundreds of playlists intact or do I have to recreate each playlist upon reinstalling the backup copy? This would save a HUGE amount of time and efforts. Thank you for your help!

hi Limnos,
I do not mean the entire ITunes folder but, rather, the contents of the ITunes folder prior to September 29th. (90% of the media is missing, along with all playlists) The media that remains says it was added on 9/29 although I know most of it was added many months or even years earlier. There are no playlists listed at all, before or after 9/29. (I know for certain that I added non-iTunes purchased songs on 10/6 although I had not created playlists for them)
I have my iTunes folder backed up on both an external drive as well as Time Machine.
I run iTunes off of an ITunes folder on my computer rather than from the external, if that's what you mean about how I have it set up.
Is it OK to drag the entire iTunes folder from the external drive onto my laptop's drive and see if that fixes it?
Thank you for your help!

Upgraded to snow leopard, now browsing SLOW can I reinstall?

I wasn't having any real problems with Leopard, but when Chrome stopped updating flash for it, I decided what the heck, I'll upgrade (against my better judgement).
So, I ordered my Snow Leopard disk directly from apple. Backed up my Mac with Carbonite. Then installed SL on my Mac. At one point it hung up, but after I eventually decided to shut off the computer and restart it, everything appeared fine. I also ran all the updates so my safari is 5.1.7 and my SL is 10.6.8.
Here is my system info: (I replaced the s/n with the ****)
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac8,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:          2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors:          1
Total Number Of Cores:          2
L2 Cache:          6 MB
Memory:          2 GB
Bus Speed:          1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version:          IM81.00C1.B00
SMC Version (system):          1.30f1
Serial Number (system): ************
Hardware UUID:          *************
Browsing has become horribly slow. I'm always getting the beach ball, and it Chrome and Safari keep becoming nonresponsive. I didn't realize I was supposed to do a REPAIR DISK BEFORE my upgrade. I have run REPAIR DISK several times now. I heard that there were a handful of items that would repeatedly show up as needing to be repaired, even though they are actually ok, BUT I just ran a repair disk AGAIN and there must have been 150 line items to repair. It said it would take 39 minutes. But it actually took about 15.
I realized that "rosetta" was not selected when I installed (but I don't run any windows programs anyway). Also, once when I got hung up in Safari, I was in the Zynga gaming site and multiple windows started showing up telling me to run in 32 bit mode. I tried changing to 32 bit (even though it didn't seem to make sense because I'm not running anything that would require 32 bit) but it made no difference. I've since returned it to 64.
So I'm wondering, Can I REINSTALL Snow Leopard? Since I've done a repair disk again, can I just stick the disk in and try to install like normal? Do I have to back anything off? I've had my Mac for years, but NEVER had any problems with it, and never had to upgrade so this is new to me. (I was used to Microsoft before, that caused me problems CONSTANTLY, especially needing to upgrade constantly.
BTW, I don't have a LOT of different docs stored on my Mac, just a ton of pictures (which was my reason for needing to make sure it was all backed up).
Thanks for any help. I really appreciate it. I would like to be able to browse without having to FORCE QUIT every 10 minutes.

I've done multiple safari resets. I've also repaired permissions multiple times. So here's what I've done. I did another disk permission repair, then put the snow leopard disk back in and ran the install again. It acted a little odd, for example in the middle of the install the computer shut down and started up again on its own. I just left it. Then, it seemed to be stuck on 1 minute left for a solid 20 minutes, but eventually I got messages that it finished. Then, after doing a repair again I noticed safari was reset back to 4.0, so I ran all the other upgrades. Did repairs between each.
I also noticed that Flash player wasn't upgraded to current, so I did that.
So safari wants to take a while to open now when I click it. I usually get a beach ball. Also happening with Chrome.
I play 2 games on Zynga, and have since discovered that I can't play one of them (rubyblast) anymore because it the brower (doesn't matter if its firefox, chrome or safari) lags.
Is there some way for me to see how much memory these games require, and if that could be my problem? I honestly don't know much about Mac memory. I don't have many applications installed except for what came iwth my computer 4 years ago. I do have a HUGE number of pictures on my mac though (and since iphoto duplicates those pictures, I have nearly double).
Am I missing something? I didn't want to upgrade from Leopard because my Mac ran just fine. I only did so because Chrome dropped support for it. I like using chrome occasionally.
If someone can help I'd appreciate it. I have 3 days left on a carbonite trial (which isn't enough time to restore my Mac if I need to) so I'd like to think I'm just missing a common thing.

I want to reinstall OS on my 2012 MacBook Pro. It shipped iwth 10.8, but now runs 10.9. Can I reinstall to 10.9, I do I have to reinstall 10.8 and upgrade again to 10.9?

I want to reinstall OS on my 2012 MacBook Pro. It shipped with 10.8, but now runs 10.9. Can I reinstall straight to 10.9, or do I have to reinstall 10.8 and upgrade again to 10.9?

Best to install 10.9 straight up. If you still have your OS 10.9 downloaded file you can use that, or you can go to the app store and download it again. It will be in your previous purchase history. Or you could even upgrade to 10.10. If you want to start from scratch you will need to boot from USB or DVD and initialise (erase) your internal HD. To do create a bootable USB thumb drive with OS 10.9 or 10.10 follow this guide

I have recently upgraded my iPad 2 to iOS 7 and I have lost 3 app icons. The apps still appear in settings, so I can't reinstall the app as they're already there. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling via an iTunes sync, but it hasn't helped. The 3 apps are bbc iplayer, itv player and sky go.
Can anyone help please?

Have you checked to see if the Apps have been placed in an App folder?
Try swiping down from the middle of the screen so the search bar appears. Type the name of the App and if the App appears it is indeed on your phone.
You could also try restarting your device by holding the power and home button until the Apple logo appears.

After upgrading E71 I can not reinstall the programmers I had before on memory card while I m able to install them if I choose phone memory
but for any new program which was not installed before the software upgrade I can install them in the memory card or phone memory without any problem
is there any advice?
Thank you

do the serach on the internet for all the applications that you want to install and are unable to do, get fresh copies of those files downloaded and try to download the new, fresh file applications to your phone this should work for you.

I have an iPad1 which I have reset and am preparing to give to a kid. I now find that I can't reinstall many apps as they now seem to require IOS 6 or greater. This is IOS 5 and can't be upgraded. Is there a way to find the older versions of the apps?
