Having trouble installing software AND restarting from OSX Install disks

This may be a previously answered problem, but I couldn't find it in the forum.
My recently-purchased MacBook has iPhoto v. 2.x on it, but this is really old -- the current version is 6 or so.
I thought a newer version might be on my Install disks, but I can't seem to get past the screen that tells me to restart in order to install System X. When I do click it, it restarts back to my login screen, and then I need to relaunch the OSX installer, and the loop starts over.
The obvious solution is to restart from the Install disk, however, I cannot start up from that disk; I hold down C while restarting, but I get a flashing folder-with-a-question-mark in it. Note the grey install disk is 10.2.4 and my computer is running 10.4.11 with upgrades. Is this the issue?
Besides hoping one of you can help me 1) start from my Install disk and 2) find and install iPhoto, perhaps someone knows which version of iPhoto I will have, if any, on this disk (CD vers 1.0, 2Z691-4306-A).
Vielen Dank!

Your question was answered unless we didn't understand it correctly. You are trying to boot an Intel Mac with "Note the grey install disk is 10.2.4." 10.2.4 cannot boot any Intel Mac. BDAqua addressed that in his reply. You have not responded to either his or my original reply.
You're original question was about iPhoto. I replied that you can reinstall all originally pre-bundled software for your computer by running the Install Pre-Bundled Software installer contained on your OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. There's no need to boot from the installer disc in order to reinstall pre-bundled software.
So, is there a part of your question that still needs addressing? Please let us know, and we will be glad to help if we can.

  • Having trouble opening connections and reading from Bluetooth devices.

    Hello,
    As the title states, I am having trouble opening connections and reading data from a Bluetooth device. We are using a PDA to communicate with LabVIEW. First, the Bluetooth Open Connection VI displays a timeout error half of the time. Second, when it does open, it does not read what the PDA is sending. Third, if it does allow an open connection, it will not do it a second time unless the devices are turned off.
    I also have another related question. I am using a Linksys Bluetooth USB adapter, and the driver is proprietary. Labview requires the use of a Microsoft driver, and we are having problems going back and forth between the drivers. What Bluetooth receiver would you suggest using? The reason I ask is the fact that you have Bluetooth examples of client VI's. Therefore, you must use a similar device. Thank you for your time.
    -Jon

    Hi Jon,
    I'm not sure what Bluetooth receivers were used to verify the functionality of the VIs. However, I still want to help you solve your issue. Please make sure that you are running the shipping examples and let me know what version of LabVIEW, what PC OS and what PDA OS you are using. Does the Microsoft driver work for your Bluetooth receiver if you uninstall the Linksys driver?
    With your answers I'll do my best to help you out.

  • Having trouble transferring library and playlists from PC to new iMac

    I just purchased a new iMac and I have imported my music via a hard drive from my PC to the Mac.  I have the library and the playlists in the Mac but I do not have the play counts.  I would also like to sync my iPhone to the iMac library but it wants to erase all the data on my iPhone and replace it with the stuff from the iMac library.  Am I doing something wrong?  How can I get my library from the PC to the Mac correctly?  Any help would be great!  Thanks!

    Your phone is telling me you ended up not really moving the old library but somehow created a new library.  An i-device can only sync with one library at a time and your phone is reacting as though it never saw this library.
    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168

  • I am having trouble transfering music and pics from my old Nokia phone to Iphone 4s

    Why won't my iphone 4s recognize my old phone so that I can transfer pics and music through bluetooth? It just keeps telling me it is not paired with the device but I can't figure out how to do so. The Nokia phone recognizes the iphone just fine.

    Connect you rdevice to your computer/iTunes.  Go to the Photos tab. Choose to have no photos synced over and then 'Apply' the changes.

  • Hello.  May I ask:  I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files.  Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait.  But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page.

    Hello.  May I ask:  I am using Acrobat 6.0.2, and having trouble formatting a PDF created from multiple (jpeg) files.  Each page is formatted to A4 size, portrait.  But when I create the PDF, each sheet appears as tiny, in the middle of a huge white page.  I cannot seem to find any controls to adjust this.  Any advice appreciated.

    Thanks CtDave, for the further info.  Unfortunately, those suggestions are not working, which is strange.
    ....Until last week, I used to make multi-page PDFs straight from Photoshop: File > Automate > Make PDF.  One simply choses the files, orders them, and creates a PDF.  (Resolution doesn't matter; 300 DPI is no problem.)  However, my new Photoshop CS5 does not have the option in Automate.
    What I've done, seeing as Acrobat is letting me down, is use Bridge (new to me) to create the PDF.  It worked without a problem, but seems like more work than the old PS method.  I will download a newer version of Acrobat to see if that makes any difference.
    .....Also, thanks Test Screen Name:  I agree with you that jpeg is irrelevant, and that one can make a PDF from Photoshop (Print > Save As - pdf).  But that only works for SINGLE PAGE pdf, not multiple pages as far as I can tell.
    Kind regards,

    I was having trouble sending to hotmail accounts from my Earthlink account, they had me go into Mac Mail preferences and make changes (because they claimed it was Mac Mail's fault, even though the hotmail error code said it's because Earthlink is blocked by hotmail), now Mac Mail doesn't work AT ALL - any help changing the settings back to correct Mac Mail settings? I can provide a transcript of the entire tech chat session, if that will help...

    both apostrophes are used correctly, thanks
    doesn't = does not (this is called a contraction)
    it's = it is
    Mac Mail's fault = possessive
    any help with the actual issue? thanks!

    I have an iPhone and just goy I pad but no computer I'm trying to synch them together but having trouble with iCloud and I can't seem to subscribe for iTunes match from either devise

    You first have to subscribe to iTunes Match through iTunes on your computer and have your music library in iTunes uploaded/matched before you can enable it on your iOS devices (see http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/).  Without a computer you won't be able to use iTunes Match.

  • Anyone else having trouble with FCPX crashing after the OSX update?

    I don't understand the question. I am simply editing.
    There are some patterns of crashes that suggest possible causes and fixes; some users report crashes when FCPX is in the process of loading; others while importing/exporting, etc. Asking to narrow the list of possibilities.
    Suggest starting with three things:
    1) Update the software from the APp Store  if need be.
    2) Trash preferences.
    3) Repair permissions.
