How do I install software w/out change to graphic / video settings

Installing software changes ALL my graphic and video settings, screwing up how I view video, my photo viewing / editing capabilities, and rendering jpeg files in MS Word documents unavailable (they are visible on the monitor but won't print out, can't change attributes).
Note: I had to restore my computer to a date prior to my first install attempt, rather than just uninstalling.
I tried reinstalling, unchecking the three default boxes during setup. That did not eliminate the problem. Again, I had to restore my computer to an earlier setting, rather than just uninstalling the software.
I don't want to use Quicktime to view video streaming.
Any suggestions?

You can restore to the latest available software.

Just brought home newly purchased MacBook Pro 15"/Maverick/Retinal Display. To my astonishment, there is NO DVD slot! No one in the store told me about this missing feature. Intolerable, How does one install software? Insert CDs to copy for iTunes?Do I have to purchase an external DVD drive? Is one even available? What a crock!

I’ve owned Macs since 1990 (IICX my first), mostly desktops. Having had DVD/CD drives in all my previous laptop Macs since 2001 - (2) G4 Powerbooks, A 17” Mac Book Pro - and also inspecting a friend’s year-old Mac Book Pro which had the DVD slot - unless someone told me at purchase, I had no reason to know that the Retina display version of the 15” had NO DVD drive. ANYHOW, I fully intended to buy the non-Retina display version, because it was cheaper. Unfortunately by the time I got to the Apple store they were no longer selling the non-Retina display version; all versions were ONLY with the Retina display. And the fine distinction of a DVD vs. a non-DVD drive was not pointed out. So now I have to shell out an additional $80 bucks for an external SuperDrive.

How do I install software from cd-rom onto my IdeaPad S10?

I just received my IdeaPad S10. How do I install software from a cd-rom onto it? I tried putting my cd-rom in my regular laptop and copying it onto a flash drive and then copying it to the IdeaPad. The installation starts, then I get a message that installation has stopped because the installation has been corrupted. Any easy ways to install software?

Here's what you can do.
Download virtual Clone drive (freeware) from here http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html install it on your S10.
Now on your destop, make a backup ISO of your software CD or DVD.
I use this http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm it integrates with explorer on the right click menu. There are other solutions also.
Once your ISO is created you can copy it to your S10 via network, usb key, etc, and mount it as a drive letter with Virtual CLone drive.
Hope that helps.

How can I install software without Classic environment?

I've got a huge problem. My Powerbook hard drive failed and no data can be recovered. So, because I needed a new computer, I just got the new iMac intel. But here's why I'm freaking out. I've got a lot of software (like Quark Xpress 6 and Addobe Acrobat 6.0) that are all upgrades to previous versions. But since the new iMacs don't run Classic environment, I can't install the older versions of software so I can install my upgrades. What on Earth do I do? I'm a graphic designer - so I HAVE to have Quark on this new machine.
I have a lot of software in Windows format. I keep reading different things that say I can boot Windows on my new iMac. Does this mean there is a way for me to install software that runs on a PowerPC on my new iMac? If so, how do I do that?
I need all the help I can get with this one. I tried contacting Apple and did a chat with an Apple agent that got me nowhere. All I know is that I cannot afford to buy the full versions of software right after buying this new machine. HELP!!!!!!!

Congratulations on your new iMac.
Quark can be reinstalled by inserting the upgrader disk and double clicking the Quark upgrader icon. A dialog box opens that asks "In order to begin upgrading your current version of QuarkXPress you will be asked to locate the directory". At this point, while holding down the "Option" key, click the "ok" button. The install should go smoothly from there.
In regards to Acrobat, any older version requiring classic will not run on your new intel iMac. However, if you've already purchased an upgrade, i believe there is an option of opting to enter your old serial number, rather than pointing the installer to a previous installation when installing the upgrade.

How i can install software update for iphone 3g

hi. im downloaded a IOS 4.2.1 for my 3g i phone how i can install it now!
il try open it> itunes comes up and do nothing...

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The normal method of upgrading the iPhone is to connect the phone to your computer with the USB cable, open iTunes app on the computer, highlight the phone in the devices list and click the button to Update the phone. iTunes then downloads and installs the new iOS. Is this what you are doing?

How do I install Snow Leopard while keeping files, applications, and settings

I need to update my system, I realized that I need Snow Leopard (quiet late) before Maverick. My question is, how can I install it keeping files and all the data. I found this on Internet, does it work?
Install Snow Leopard while keeping files, applications, and settings
If you follow these steps, the installer will replace your operating system if one is already present, but will preserve your account information and personal files. You may have to reinstall some applications, however.
Insert the install disc (or the first install disc if you have more than one) into your disc drive. Restart your computer while holding down the c key. This causes your computer to start up from the install disc rather than your hard drive. When you see the gray Apple insignia, release c .
The Mac OS X installer should open automatically. Follow the on-screen prompts to read and accept the license agreement and begin the installation. When prompted to choose a destination disk, select your preferred location and click Install.
When the Mac OS X installation finishes with the disc, restart your computer. After the installation completes, a configuration program may begin automatically if you are installing for the first time. You will need to supply basic setup information for your computer.
Update your system software to ensure that you have the most recent operating system components. From the Apple menu, select Software Update... , and then follow the instructions on the screen. Often, you will have to restart your computer, and you may have to run Software Update multiple times before it can completely update your system.

That's why you need to back it up. You won't need to restore the backup immediately afterwards unless something goes wrong during the upgrade, but you'll need it later; the drive will eventually fail.

Can I change a graphic card settings

Hello,
Can I change my ATI graphic card settings. (configure depth of field, blur texture details etc.)
Thank you,
Can

Your specific examples suggest to me that you may find the following controls useful. Starting from the Apple menu (top left of the desktop) open 'System Preferences...'. You will find a setting for 'font smoothing' in the 'General' panel. In the 'Displays Panel' you can set the display resolution and colour calibration. If you have impaired eyesight then the 'Accessibility' panel will be helpful.
Other things are normally controlled by the application and are controllable only if the developer chooses to offer the settings under 'Preferences...'. Most applications involving text will offer the Fonts panel for you to select typeface and styles but Mac developers are discouraged from exposing users to low-level settings. Apple's view is that properly designed applications should 'just work' and require users to make as few decisions as possible.
My advice is not to bother trying to make Mac OS X reproduce the behaviour and aesthetic of Window; if you want Windows, install Windows, it works great on Mac hardware. Otherwise, just relax and go with the flow. After a few days you'll get used to how things are done and after a few weeks you won't want to turn back.
