How do i reinstall software for the superdrive without a disk

Hi,
I am trying to utilize my external superdrive and it says hardware or software isn't recognized.  I cannot find my reinstall disk so is there one I can download from the Apple site? Which one?
Thank you!

So you had Snow Leopard on your computer and your friend installed Mountain Lion from what? The only legal way is to buy it from the app store. If that was not done, then I'm not sure how to get out of the mess except to reinstall Snow Leopard and then buy Mountain Lion (if you don't do that, you will have endless problems because your OS install won't be recognized). You won't be able to get updates because the app store checks your Apple ID and your machine ID.
If you have the disks for your software, then just reinstall from the disks (I'd do it after you get the OS mess rectified). If the software was bought and downloaded from the app store, it should be listed under your Purchases and you can re-download it.

  • Which GPS software for the N82 without A-GPS???

    Hi, I am about to purchase my first Nokia phone, a N82. I also have never had a Symbian based phone before, either.
    Which GPS software application do most people prefer for 'Turn by turn' navigation? Specifically, one that doesn't use the A-GPS function of the phone. I will NOT have a data plan with this phone, although I do have a wireless home network for downloading things.
    Also, are any of them free to use??? I see some websites that look like they are free to download (http://www.nokiasymbianthemes.com), yet some places seem to want to charge a monthly fee (like the one that comes with the phone).
    Any guideance here would be appriciated!
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I just bought an N97. My old phone was an N95. The new phone, like the old phone, came with Nokia Maps. This is free to use, but it doesn't come with "Navigation". Navigation is the voice directions you expect to hear in the car. You have to buy a Navigation licence, either through the phone, through Nokia PC Suite, or from a third party site.
    I took my old sim out and put it in my new phone.
    When I tried the Maps function on my new phone, it went to the internet, found my old Navigation licence and transferred it to the new phone.
    This left my old phone with no Navigation licence.I checked out various options to bring back the Navigation to my old phone including these:-
    If you go through the phone, or PC Suite, you will have to buy a yearly licence. If you go to the TeleAtlas site, you will find McGuider software. This is another option.
    This business of buying an annual licence has been bugging me for some time, so, In the end, I did what I've been thinking about for a while. I went
    into Halfords and bought Garmin (UK and N, Ireland) software on a micro SD card for £49.99. One - off payment, not an annual charge.
    It installs automatically, is a doddle to use compared with Nokia Maps, and gives you the option of using AGPS or not.
    It's much easier to use than Nokia Maps, more intuitive, more powerful options, quick in its response, and I can finally read what it's telling me on the small N95 screen, as I drive.
    I can heartily recommend it. Without the AGPS in use, it's still very quick in its response, but of course this is down to the quality of the GPS system, and where you are.
     HTH

  • HT4623 I tried to update my ipad air to IOS 7.1 but it shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download" How can I fix this problem ?

    I tried to update my ipad air from IOS 7.0.4 to 7.1 on iTunes. I clicked download and update, it started to download normally but when download finished iTunes shows error that "The software for the iphone was corrupted during download".
    How can I fix this error ?

    I had the same problem. In the end I downloaded it manually. Here's the steps assuming you are on a Mac and have an iPad Air (Wifi). If not you can find other restore links here.
    In the terminal (it kept failing to download in Safari):
    curl http://appldnld.apple.com/iOS7.1/031-4521.20140310.D2Ydl/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Rest ore.ipsw >>~/Desktop/iPad4,1_7.1_11D167_Restore.ipsw
    Once the file has downloaded, move it to ~/Library/iTunes/iPad Software Updates/
    Quit and relaunch iTunes.
    Should now work for you.

    I am trying to download software for the clear internet network.  It is telling me that I am running in a 64 bit mode and
    need to be in a 32 bit mode to run their software....can I and how do I change it to a 32 bit mode?

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

  • How long should it take for the iOS 5 iPhone software to update?

    How long should it take for the iOS 5 iPhone software to update? Mine is taking a ridiculous amount of time, to the point where I need to stop it as i need to go out and need my phone !

    Depends on how strong your wifi connection is.
    you can try a reset hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release.

  • How do I reload the software for the WIFI on my TX

    My TX crashed.  I had to delete the full PalmOne from the PC.  Reload and got the TX back with a sync, except for the web.  Every time I go to the web, the TX crashes and does a full reboot.  Can I download the software for the WIFI into the PC, and at the next sync it will correct itself?  He typed hopefully.....

    A Hard Reset will restore your device to the "out of the box" condition.  The Wifi should be good as new.  Don't HotSync yet!
    If you've installed bad software that scrambled the Wifi, it most likely has been backed up onto your computer.  When you HotSync, you reinstall the problem again!
    In short:
    - hard reset
    - locate backup folder under palm desktop folder tree
    - rename to backup_old
    - sync, select old id. This will bring back PIMs (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks and Memos) but no settings nor programs
    - reinstall applications one by one AFTER making sure they are compatible with the target device.

    You can change the settings in Security & Privacy to "Anywhere"...

    Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
    The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
    Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
    Good Luck

  • I just got the mid 2011 macbook air and it does not have ilife or iPhoto on it...isnt it supposed to come with it? and if it does then how do i get it on the mac without having to pay for it in the app store?

    I just got a macbook air and i thought that it was supposed to come with ilife already installed? But there is not ilife apps...how do i get  it on the laptop without having to buy them all from the app store if it was supposed to come with it?

    From the iPhoto Licence:
    3. Transfer.
    A. Apple Software obtained from the Mac App Store is not transferable. If you sell your Apple-branded hardware to a third party, you must remove the Apple Software from the Apple-branded hardware before doing so.
    B. For any preinstalled Apple Software, you may make a one-time permanent transfer of all of your license rights to the Apple Software (in its original form as provided by Apple) to another party, provided that: the Apple Software is transferred together with your Apple-branded hardware; (ii) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its component parts, printed materials and this License; (iii) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies stored on a computer or other storage device; (iv) you have not associated the Apple Software with your Mac App Store account as set forth in Section 2B; and (v) the party receiving the Apple Software reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this License.
    If the previous owner accepted the preinstalled software (iPhoto, etc) to the AppleID, it cannot be passed on to a new owner. Even if the previous owed would use her or his Applied to install it for you, you would never be able to reinstall it or to update it.
    In that case buy your own copies of the software.
