How do i install application disk

I received an applications disk with this used Macbook Pro, 2009 model.  It says to insert the disk, reboot holding down the D key which is supposed to run a hardware test.  It doesn't work, but always just shuts down after a few minutes.  when I try to install it normally with the system running I get an error message that this package will not run on this computer.
This disk is supposed to install Garage Band and other applications that are no longer included for free.
Anyone know about this and how to get around it?

If the disc really is part of the correct original install-restore DVD set, it may be damaged.
For a replacement disc, you'd have to be on the look-out for a retail Garage Band version
from that era; or attempt to find one of the gray discs with the correct Part Number that
your computer shipped with that has all the original applications plus OS X installer on it.
You could get & try a utility known as Pacifist from the maker's web site to see if you may
be able to extract the files and then use this utility to build an installation from the desktop,
so as to get the Garage Band application from a DVD -- without the Apple installer software.
•Pacifist: http://www.charlessoft.com/pacifist_olderversions.html
While I've used Pacifist several times with older OS X (pre 10.7) there are a few things that
require you to try & try again. It is not simple, but can work well with older system discs.
With correct identification of the computer build model year, you may be able to find an
original correct install-restore disc set by part number. I've noticed  http://MacTracker.ca
database download shows gray-label DVD part numbers for specific model Macs. [With
this information, it may be possible to contact resellers of older software sets, to buy it.]
Hopefully this helps somewhat.
Good luck & happy computing!

  • How do I install applications on Mac OS X?

    Hi all:
    I am a complete newbie to the Mac World, am from the pc world.
    I am trying to install applications. I have downloaded a few from the web and I have no idea how to install them. Double clicking on them doesn't do the job.
    Please help
    Thanks!
    Powerbook G4 12"   Mac OS X (10.4)  

    Applications either include their own installer or are provided and downloaded via a disk image.
    If an application includes an installer, you will be prompted for your admin password after double-clicking on the downloaded and then provided prompts such as where you want to install the application, etc.
    If an application is provided via a disk image, when double-clicking on the download (the download will include a .img extension such as xxxxxx.img), the disk image is mounted on the Desktop and the application is within.
    Open another Finder window and drag the application from within the mounted disk image to your Applications folder which copies the application to your hard drive.
    To unmount the disk image, drag the disk image to the Trash can in the Dock or select the disk image and at the Finder menu bar, go to File and select Eject. You can then delete the downloaded xxxxxx.img file.

  • How do I install applications to classic in os 10.4.11

    How do install applications to classic in os 10.4.11.  Specifically Microsoft Works 4.0. I am trying to get a customers old g4s upgraded in increments so they can  get away from os 9.2.2.  They have book keeping records that need to be converted from os 9.2.2 and Microsoft Works 4.0 to something more recent.

    THAT'S my problem.  I've been working on Windows machines since everything was done with DOS commands but don't have any experience with older Macs.  I have worked on some OS 10.8.x and 10..9.5s and was able to find the how to's on the internet, but it's very difficult to find any info on 9.2.2 and/or Microsoft Works 4.0.  I have found some 3rd party converters that will convert the .wks and .wdb files to .xls that a legacy version of Libre Office can read, but getting the application to install is my problem. After downloading the file clicking on the .dmg file that shows up on the desktop does not install the application.  A link to specific directions would be greatly appreciated.

    Why OracleAS 10.1.3.x version doesn't have OracleAS Infrastructure components?Because not all OAS releases were complete software versions. By complete software versions, I mean they were not a software version where each component (like Identity Management, Portal, BI, SOA Suite, etc.) would have an updated version.
    OAS Release 2 (10.1.2.x.x) was a complete release but OAS Release 3 (10.1.3) was not. After release 2, Oracle Fusion Middleware OFM 11g is now a complete release.

    If I install the "myinstall", will it show automatically on the launcher??? If I buy a hotsynch in ebay, would that be better or mmc and a reader is fine? Will I als need the Cd? 
    Thanks again!!!

    HotSync is a program, not something to be purchased on eBay!
    It is part of a free program from Palm called "Palm Desktop".  Go to the pages Hook directed you to, download and install the program.
    You can then install programs to your Palm correctly!  You will not need the CD.
    You will need a program called Documents To Go to easily use Microsoft Word and Excel files.  This will have to be purchased from Dataviz.com.  Be sure to look for a version that is compatible with your device.

  • How do I install application software/programs on a USB - External HD ?

    USB External Hard drive to install programs - I have OS 10.5.5 on my MBA and I am trying to use a external drive to install programs. I have done the Disk Utility - Partition and Mas OS Extend Journaled / erased. I can see the external drive, and copy files to this device without any problems. When I try to install programs I am given an error about the OS needs to be 10.4 or higher??

    You can also call Apple and obtain a clean copy of the set up disks.
    I recommend that you do a full wipe and clean install of the OS. There is "something" on the disk that is not right. You will be much happier with a clean install.
    Once you have the clean install, download and install the 10.5.5 COMBO updater. I have found that the Combo updaters often work better than the series of incremental updates that Software Update installs.
    Good luck. (jk)

  • How do I install iWork disk on MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro with Retina Display and would like to install iWork on it. I do not have the device needed to use disks on this laptop as it doesn't have an optical drive. Is there any way I could download some sort of software and use a key to identify my disk? Or something along those lines because I'm sure apple would have thought that this problem would occur.
    Thanks

    That's why Apple no longer sells disks. All its software is now available on the App Store. So you can either purchase/download the iWork components from there, or, if you have access to another Mac with an optical drive, share the DVD from that across the network (System Preferences - Sharing - turn CD/DVD sharing on) and install that way.

  • How to hide installed application from Software Center 2012

    Hello,
    I would like to ask you whether it is possible in Software Center 2012 to remove the record of program that was installed successfully from application catalog.
    Currently it stays visible in SC as "Available" constantly informing users with popup that there is new software available for installation. This may be disturbing behavior for users.
    Technical specialist in our company would be very glad to know some workaround. Is there some xml file or registry on user computer that could be used to remove such record from Software Center 2012?
    Thank you very much for any advice!

  • I lost the disks.  Now have new computer.  How do I install the disks?

    I purchased Photoshop CS years ago.  The disks have become lost.  The computer I was using had to be replaced.
    About 2 – 3 weeks ago I contacted you and got an activation key for installing the product on my new laptop, including the links required.  Unfortunately I forgot to write down the key before logging off. Then the laptop was found to be faulty and had to be replaced.  I now have a new laptop and would like to install Photoshop CS on it.
    Is there any way you can help me?
    Thank  you.

  • How to Install Application Server Control on top of AS J2EE Installation.

    Hi,
    I just installed AS 10g 10.1.2, upgraded it to 10.1.2.3 and applied Jul2008 CPU.
    It was initially a simple J2EE install (with only J2EE and OC4J).
    It seems there is no EM Application Server Control component since all attempts below failed:
    http://host.domain:1156
    http://host.domain:1156/em
    http://IP:1156/
    http://IP:1156/em
    portlist.ini
    Oracle Management Agent Port = 1157
    Application Server Control RMI port = 1850
    Application Server Control port = 1156
    I am accessing the system (unix servers, etc) via vpn.
    Question:
    1) How do I verify if Application server control is installed or not installed.
    2) How do I install Application server control if the component has not been installed
    on top of AS 10.1.2.3 (base 10.1.2 install with 10.1.2.3 upgrade Jul2008 cpu)
    Thanks.
    Our intent is to use Application Server Control to access Workflow manager
    Tried

    AS Control gets installed with every install type so it should be there. Refer this for details:

    If http://host.domain:1156 doesn't work, AS Control might not be up. Start it using "$OH/bin/emctl start iasconsole". Refer below (mainly point #3 below) for details on what and how to start a mid-tier instance:

  • How can I install an Application on one of my other Hard Drives?

    I would like to know how I can install Applications on one of my other hard drives. I find that when I go to install an Application, the main hard drive shows up allowing me to install it. The other hard drives show as unable to install Application. What am I missing? Thanks.

    A system is what is missing as the installer looks for a valid folder, and may need to install support files in /Library as well.
