Had to reformat and applications missing?

So i have the 15" macbook pro with core duo. I went to upgrade to leopard today and got an error saying that it could not upgrade, so i figure i don't have anything too important so i might as well just wipe the drive and start over with leopard. The main thing i noticed is that GarageBand was GONE! It isn't super important but was frequently used. Is there any way to get it back without going out and buying a new copy (i had it in the first place because it came installed when i first bought this laptop).

Leopard 10.5 is only the OS. It does not include iLife (garageband, itunes, imovie, idvd, iweb). If you want those apps you have to install iLife.
All new computers come pre-installed with iLife.
You can re-install the iLife apps from your original disks that came with your laptop.

Had to reformat and reinstall leopard, how to get purchased songs back?

10.5.2 killed my imac, so I had to reformat and and reinstall leopard. How do I get items purchased from the itunes store back???

Remember the dialog box you get after downloading music from iTunes telling you to back up your music? I know Apple has, on occasion, allowed users to re-download music, but it isn't part of their policy. Contact the iTunes store via the online form and plead your case. Then figure out a backup scheme for music and use it.

I cannot get my add-ons to install. I get an error message. I had 3.0.19 working fine and had to reformat and somehow it will not restore via mozbackup the original way I had it. What am I missing?

I am trying to mnaintain my sanity when browsing and had No-Script, Request Policy and Ad Block installed and working well. I made a mistake and some malware got in there. I reformatted my drive and tried to restore via Moz backup but it will not install any add-ons in ANY version I have tried thus far.

Might be totally unrelated to the problem you're having, but saying it since it's still important: you should definitely upgrade to Firefox 3.6 asap, as 3.0.x is no longer supported by Mozilla. This means that you're no longer patched for security holes and are exposed to online threats like viruses, etc.
Upgrading is easy - just go to mozilla.com and download the latest and greatest version of Firefox. Good luck!

Had to reformat and can't connect now

I have a desktop pc and one laptop. I had to take my laptop to the shop for a virus. They wiped my computer clean and reinstalled my operating system. Now I get a message "limited or no connectivity". But my son's friend can bring his laptop and connect right away to our wireless.
Where do I start? Don't know much about this stuff.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Delete the Preferred network from your Computer...and then try to connect the Wireless Network.Make sure that you are typing the correct security key to connect the Wireless Network.
Click on Start and goto the Control Panel and double click on Network Connections, right click on Wireless Network Connection and click on Properties.Now on this window, click on the second tab Wireless Network and give a check mark on "Use windows to configure my wireless" and then remove all the network names present in the Preferred Networks Window. Then click on OK...Right click on the Wireless Network Connection again and click on View Available Wireless Networks and try to re-connect to your network...Now it will give you the opportunity to put the network/wep key, make sure you enter the correct network key and confirm it...It will connect...

Email Icon and application missing

I seem to be missing my email icon as well as the entire application....don't know what happened to it but cannot send or recieve email anymore....any help will be appreciated.

You need to download the 10.5.8 combo updater, then software update just in case anything is missing. It doesn't matter if it is over the top of a previous similar download. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606.

HT201272 I cannot find previously purchased downloads of American Idol performance video's on my iMac after it had a virus and I cannot download them from the Store?

My iMac had a Trojan Horse virus and I had to reformat and install it's OS again. Now I cannot download any of my video's that I purchased from the iTunes store of Amerian Idol in 2009. How could I get them back?
Thanks in advance for your help.

We are fellow users on here, you are not talking to iTunes Support here.
Whether a film will show in the Purchased link will depend upon what country that you are in (redownloading films isn't possible in all countries), what studio that they are from (not all allow re-downloading), whether they are still in the store (studios occasionally remove them from the store), and whether you've hidden them or not (hiding and unhiding).
Do any films show in the Purchased link, and do you not have copies of them somewhere ? If some do show but others don't then are they hidden (some might also have been removed from the store or the studio doesn't allow re-downloading) ? If you do have Movies as an option in the Purchased tab and you think that there should be more listed there (and you haven't changed countries since buying them), then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they know why they aren't showing
But as with all content from the store you should be keeping and maintaining your own backup copy of them, as there is no guarantee that a content provider won't remove their items from the store.

but Iphoto in appstore or can i find it somewear ? thank you for helping

You should be able to restore the iLife apps, see this support article:
From Accept iLife: OS X: About OS X Recovery
If you erase install OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion on a new Mac that shipped with OS X Lion or OS X Mountain Lion installed, you can download iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand from the Mac App Store.
After installation, start (up) from OS X.
Double-click the App Store icon in the dock.
Enter your Apple ID and password.
Click Purchases.
If you haven't previously accepted your bundled iLife applications within the Mac App Store, you should see your iLife applications appear in the Accept portion of the screen. Click Accept.
You may be asked for your Apple ID and password once again. Your iLife applications now move to the Purchased section. These applications are part of the software that came with your Lion based computer. Your account will not be charged for them. Click Install to complete installation of your applications.

HT4889 When I transferred my data from a 128GB Macbook Air to 256GB Macbook Air (brand new version as of 9/1/13) I end up with 188GB used! I add up the size of Users, System, Library and Applications and it comes to 90GB. What am I missing?

When I transferred my data from a 128GB Macbook Air to 256GB Macbook Air (brand new version as of 9/1/13) I end up with 188GB used! I add up the size of Users, System, Library and Applications and it comes to 90GB. What am I missing? How did I "use" up so much space in migrating from one Mac to another?

Did you use the Setup Assistant available at the beginning of the new machine's setup process? Or did you use Migration Assistant later after you had set up the new machine?
If you used Migration Assistant, you generally wind up with two accounts (the new one you set up on the new machine plus the old one you ported over) - that may explain your excessive use of space. In that case, you can either manually combine/remove all unnecessary duplicate files, or you can start over by using Command + R, wiping your drive, and downloading the OS. Once it's downloaded, use the Setup Assistant offered at the beginning of the install/setup process.

I had to reformat my PC and now it wont let me add music to my iphone.

I recently had to reformat my PC since I got a nasty virus. After getting my comp up and running again I went online to download itunes. I installed it without any problems, but when I tried to hook my phone up to it, I found out I can't put any additional songs onto my phone (I can view all pre-existing songs) unless I wanted to wipe the phone clean. There has to be a way to do this without me losing all of my music. Thanks for your help.

I had to reformat my desktop pc and lost all my music. Is there any way to transfer the music from the ipod to the pc?

I lost the music on my pc when I had to reformat the disk. Is there any way to transfer the music from the Ipod to the pc? I am told that if I try to sync the music that it will erase all the music on my Ipod.

Transfer other music by using a third-party programlike one of those discussed here:

I had to reformat my OSX 10.5.8 and i can't restore my emails from my time machine backup from an external hard drive - only the latest (post backup) time machine back ups are available to restore. Please can any help

I had to reformat my OSX 10.5.8 and I can't restore my emails from my time machine backup from an external hard drive - only the latest (post backup) time machine back ups are available to restore. Please can any help? I can find the mail folder in my libraries, but the Restore Button is grayed out

OSX treats the reformatted drive as a different one; it's the same as replacing it, and the old one is no longer connected.
See #E3 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting to see and restore from the "old" drive.
And, you may not want to restore via the Finder; see the blue box in #15 of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.

I had to reformat my hard drive on an older Desktop running Windowx XP. The IE browser is not working now. Is there a way I can download Firefox onto a flash drive from my new desktop and install it on my old desktop?

I had to reformat the hard drive on my old desktop. It is runninf Windows XP. I can't get Internet Explorer to work so I can connect to the internet via wireless. Is there a way I can download firefox from my new desktop onto a flas drive and then install Firefox from the flash drive onto my old desktop? If so, please explain the procedure.

Go to a suitable download page eg: [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html]
Download firefox, use the save option rather than install.
Save it directly to the flash drive, or to somewhere on your computer and copy/move it the flash drive.
However if IE is not working possibly you have some sort of setup problem so firefox may not work either.

TS1702 I'm not able to update Smurf's Village. Tried most of the things proposed on the net including restarting the iPad and trying syncing with the computer. Had a similar issue with another application. Had to delete and reinstall it, with all history

I'm not able to update Smurf's Village. Tried most of the things proposed on the net including restarting the iPad and trying syncing with the computer. Had a similar issue with another application. Had to delete and reinstall it, with all history lost.
Tried following up with the developer's instruction. Didn't help. Developer suggested contacting Apple if their instruction didn't work. Tried the various methods recommended on the Apple site. Same result.

Telling is that you tried most of the things on the net doesn't tell us exactly what you did try, so we are all still left to guess .....
Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again
If that doesnt work - go to Settings>General>Date and Time - set the date ahead by a few months. Try to update again. If you get an error message of any kind - go back and change the date and time to automatic again. Then try again.
If that doesn't work, restart your router and reboot the iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
