How do you clone the install disk?

i was reading in another post about installing the OS over a network and the solution given was to install to an Ext. Firewire drive and clone the installed OS to the firewire drive then clone it again onto the target mac.
this solution may not work well for me, but i too was considering a family user license to update as many of my macs as i can. However, i want to wait until the next version of the OS is available. (i see no point in buying an OS i already own on one computer for another $199, so i will wait).
the other thread offered up two solutions. one was to have a, if i understand it correctly, i network version of the OS (X server), and the other was as posted above.
so how do yo clone the OS (i assume it is the actual installed OS and not the installer. how much room is needed to do it?

yes, thank you i see that.
i don't know much about servers, but it kind of sounds like i would be running the OS from a server and not the individual macs. i don't think that will work for me either.
it sounds like i will need to by the multi-license then exchange the DVDs for CDs so i can install on the G4 DP 533.
i could use the clone method, but the mac isn't really a clone, they have their own identities in mutlti-user log in.

You don't. There is no "scratch disc" in Lightroom. Please rephrase your question.

How do you clone the "Default" Templates V1.6

Does anyone know how I can clone then use the Report Template called "Default Vertical Look 2" in V1.6? I've created a new theme and the associated repository templates, but that does not list the "Default" Templates. I want to change the colours of the template background in a vertical style report.
thanks in advance

Mac: How do you use the "Install Manager" to update Flash?

So on a Mac with 10.3.181.22 installed, I went to a web page and the "Adobe Flash Player Install Manager" ran and notified me that an update to Flash was available.
I didn't want to install this at that time, so I dismissed it.
How do I force another check for an installation update procedure? If I manually run the Install Manager in /Applications/Utilities, it only gives me the option to *Uninstall* Flash Player and revisiting the web page (or running some other Flash animation) did not prompt me again that there was an update.
What am I missing to trigger the automatic notification/installation?
- Steve

Hi, I'm not familiar with that Mac feature since I don't use a Mac. However, you can go to this site and Install:
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
Also you can now use the automatic Flash Player notification for the Mac here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager05.htm l
With this, the next time Flash Player has an update you will receive a prompt and can choose to "Install now"/"Remind me later" or "Don't Install" I use it all of the time and the update is done in under 2 minutes!!
Hope that helps,

How do I eject the install disk on the mini mac?

In wiping the mini mac, it keeps looping to the erase and install. It won't allow me to shut down or eject the disk to put in the program disk. When the screen gets to the Install Mac OS X, it won't show any disk (the Mac Mini) to install it. I used the Utilities to erase and install, but I can't go any further. It should install with a system lower than the OS X Yosemite.

Some user have reported problems booting from a SL install DVD on a 2010 Mac Mini whose EFI was updated for Interent Recovery.

This may be more of an OS issue than a Curve issue but here goes. How do you remove the installed apps list on my 8530's AppWorld?

I have never purchased any apps yet but I have tried quite a few and now I'm stuck with this list of more than 20 apps listed in the Uninstalled section of my 8530's Blackberry App World.
As they are ALL free apps that I tried and DON'T installed on my phone for one reason or another, I would like to remove any existence of these apps from my phone and/or my App World Account.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Regards
Evil Dave of Canada
What Part of 'Evil' do you not understand?

Hello,
What you ask cannot be done. The AppWorld servers forever remember every app you download to your BB, free or not. Consider the alternative...if those were paid apps and RIM did not retain the purchase record, then when you want the app back later, you'd have to pay again...not a good situation I'd think.
And, before you say it...I agree...I think that they should be able to differentiate between free and fee-based apps. But, they don't. That's just the way it works.
Good luck!

How do you solve the "Your disk could not be partitioned" error when partitioning your hard drive through Bootcamp?

Where do I start to solve this problem?

I'm attempting to load Windows 7 home premium 64-bit on an early 2011 15" MBP with Bootcamp 5.0.2 and am getting the error "Your disk could not be partitioned. An error occurred while partitioning disk." No other information leads me to understand the problem. Does anyone know anything about this error?
I have a brand new hard drive from apple after the old one failed, a new logic board and trackpad, so i doubt that it is a hardware issue.
Backup your drive, erase your drive, restore your backup. Then partition for Boot Camp.

I had osx version 10.6.8 i reinstalled osx with the install disk now i have 10.6.3

i had osx 10.6.8 i reinstalled with the osx install disk and now i have 10.6.3 and some of my apps are not compatible any suggestions please and thank you

It is possible you had used the Combo or software update to move from 10.6.3 to 10.6.8 prior to the reinstall. Then when you reinstalled, the install disk took you to 10.6.3 and as MichelPM says, you will need to update again.
The appropriate combo updater is Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 It's a big update and can take 40 minutes or more.
But you will still have to software update to pick up the latest security and iTunes updates.
Don't forget to back up your files first.

How do you NOT start up from the install disk if it is in the CD drive?

This has to be a dumb question, but . . . I put my 10.4 install disk into the CD drive of the Mini to try an experiment, installing OS X on a thumb drive as a backup. It didn't work. Now the Mini will only start up from the install disk, not the internal drive (which has 10.5.8 on it).
The advice I have seen in the forum says to hold down the D key upon startup and that will choose the internal drive as the startup disk. That didn't work. Also, there was a suggestion to hold down the option key upon startup, and then choose the internal drive from the startup manager. No luck there, either. I also tried holding down the eject button on the keyboard during startup, but it still started up from the install disk.
I feel like I am in a 1 Infinite Loop here. Any advice much appreciated.
Jim

Oops, I will now answer my own dumb question. I found another suggestion in the Powerbook forum that said to hold down the mouse button as it boots up, and the disk should eject -- it worked! I hope this will help somebody else. Sorry about the previous post.

You can't get there with GUID/GPT.
There are tips on making a USB flash device that is bootable.
You can set aside a small 6GB partition somewhere and put Windows 7 installer there and run it WHILE IN Windows.
Windows Vista can be upgraded in place to 7 RC.
You'll need NTFS (30-50GB).
Windows doesn't support FW for booting.
You can create a drive that has Master Boot Record.

I think my hard drive crashed. How can I get data off via firewire before the HD completely goes? I was stuck on the BSoD and now I can't even use the install disk. Utility Disk said HD was okay. Please HELP ME

Safe mode did nothing.
Safe mode with verbose seemed to make it worse.
Before continuously trying new things, I could use the install disk to check the disk utility and clear
the hard drive from there but now the screen won't even load to that.
I really need the data on the hard drive especially if it can't be salvaged.
How can i transfer files?
Am I better off physically taking my HD out or will it damage itself without
leaving the system.
I tried command r
resetting the pram
safe mode
jumping out a window
nothing has helped.
I am stuck on the blue screen of death and it flickers.

No. In order to use FireWire Target Disk Mode you need to use a FireWire equipped Mac. Other than that the only other way I can think of to even attempt to access you files would be to remove your hard drive and install it in a case and connect it to another computer.

How do I boot up my Mac with the install disk (other problems)?

Hi there,
My Mac ran out of battery the other day and when plugged back into the mains failed to load up other than the blue screen with the Apple logo, followed by the circular progress bar and a long rectangular progress bar (which I assume is disk repair). The disk repair bar tends to get about one-third of the way across, then starts again. After the second time, the Mac chooses to give up and turns itself off - I'm assuming this isn't a fan problem as it seems to switch itself off at exactly the same point each time.
I have tried loading the Mac from the install disk by holding down C on startup, but I can't get to the install screen. I've also tried loading by holding down the shift key, but the system won't load up in safe mode.
I experienced a similar problem earlier this year, but was able to reinstall the Mac and this solved the problem. This time, I'm struggling to get things working. Everything else seems to have been working up until now.
I'd really appreciate any help that you can give me,
Many thanks,
Michael

Do you mean iTunes library?
iTunes account is what you use to make iTunes purcahses.
iTunes library is what is on your computer.
It says my phone can only be set up woth one itunes account. How do I remove the previous account?
No, it tells you it can only be sync'd with one iTunes library.
Simplest way is to copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder (thisis the iTunes library) from old computer to new computer.

How would i reset my macbook pro if i don't have the Install Disk?

I forgot the password to the admin, but I'm still able to use my laptop because I have two users but I can't use the admin. I don't have the Install Disk, so the instructions that they're giving me in order to reset the password I'm unable to do. So how would reset the password or just reset my laptop in all without the Install Disk ?

How can I reformat my MBP's hard drive without the Install Disk?

My MacBook Pro got a virus, and I need to reformat my computer without the Install Disk (I don't have it anymore).
Is it possible to fix it?

you don't have a virus.
your best antivirus is already installed in your Macbook. It's called OS X Lion. (fully updated).
do not install any memory resident antivirus in your computer. Especially anything made by Norton or Mackeeper.
download and install ClamX AV a non memory resident anti virus and scan your macbook once a week.
since you're running Lion, you can create a Lion Recovery Disk Assitant in a USB Thumb Drive. Click here. for more info.
