How to install Aperture without original dvd

I lost my Aperture 2 installation and Aperture 3 upgrade disks. How to install Aperture in my new Macbook ?

Do you still have the Aperture 2 and Aperture 3 registration codes? Then you can download the Trial installer and use that to install Aperture on your new Macbook.
You can download the Aperture 3 trial installer to reinstall Aperture from this webpage - there is a link to the trial and instructions on how to reinstall - don't let the title of this page distract you :
Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
The Aperture 3 serial number will be available in the about panel, when you are running Aperture on your old mac (from the main menu bar: Aperture > About Aperture).

How to install itunes without cd/dvd rom support?

Hi,
Everybody knows when you install iTunes to any windows device, you will have a problem with your dvdrw afterwards. Till day, every installation i made end up with losing my dvd-rom.
There is 3 solution to this problem, but those solutions never worked for me and last time i used my company notebook without it's dvdrom for over a year.
Now, i reinstall my notebook with Windows 8.1 Update 1 and i want to install iTunes for my music but i can' let iTunes do the same thing again.
Is there anyway install iTunes without cd-dvd 3rd party/usb/firmware driver support?
I search on net and i found this link but it's way too old
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA44491?viewlocale=en_US

QuickTime is required for iTunes to run. You can think of iTunes as a media manager "front end" to QuickTime which handles the actual playing of the media.
Safari was an optional install when I installed iTunes on my Windows system. I wasn't forced to install Safari. MobileMe is also no longer automatically installed, though it will update if it finds an existing installation. I didn't get it forced on me when I installed on my Vista system.

One tip: it will pay better dividends if you avoid ranting. Apple won't see your rants (except to delete them) and we, your fellow users who are with rare exceptions the only ones participating here, don't really want to be yelled at.

How to install Leopard without working DVD-drive?

I have a MacBook Pro 3,1 (A1226) without a working DVD-drive and I would like to replace the existing 80Gb drive with a 320Gb drive. The hardware is no problem, I did that a few times already, but how to get the OS working?
I have an TimeMachine backup on a USB-disk of the 10.5.8 (9L31a) installed system. I do not wish to upgrade because there is some old licensed software on it that does not work with a newer OS.
I also have another MacBook Pro (with 10.7.5) I could hook up with an Ethernet-cable. Theoretically even with a Firewire cable I do not have right now. But when I buy extra things I should perhaps better get an external hard disk enclosure for the 320Gb?
Please advice.

Am gonna solve it in another way. I will just get a so-called "9.5 mm PATA Optical Bay SATA Hard Drive Enclosure" and put the 320Gb drive in that one. Sorry to have distracted you.

HT3805 how to reinstall aperture when original dvd is lost

Can't locate my original Aperture DVD. The application crashed after installing the latest upgrade. Most of the troubleshooting discussions say the only solution is to reintall the application but I can't find the Aperture DVD and the app store recognizes that I already have Aperture. An alternate solution would be appreciated. Thank you.

Exactly,
Before you reinstall, move the Aperture application to the Trash. Then the AppStore will not find it.
Use the Trial to reinstall, when you cannot find your cds.
See this knowledge base article by Apple:
Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
After installing the trial it is important not to try to launch Aperture, but immediatly to upgrade using software update.
Once you are running Aperture 3.4 again, repair your Aperture library.

How to install Classic without original 10.4 discs?

I just bought a used emac g4 1 ghz as a backup to my emac g4 1.25 ghz. I have 10.3.9 on my 1,25 ghz emac and when I received this used emac I discovered it had 10.4.8 installed...but no classic. I still have a couple classic programs I use, so I was wondering if there is anyway to install classic in the 10.4.8 even though I didn't get the Tiger discs with the computer. I do have the original 10.3 discs for both my 1.25 ghz emac and this 1.0 ghz emac, but is there anyway to install just classic without erasing the 10.4.8???
Thank you for any help.

Leopard DVD is far away. How to install XP without the leopard dvd?

ok. Leopard DVD is far away abroad with my sister.
How to install Xp without the DVD? Is there anyway to get the drivers that are to be installed from the dvd after installing Xp?
I really need to use Autocad and Rhino on my Macpro, so Parallels or VMware fusion is not an option. I am already using VMware fusion on my Macbook pro, but VMware will not use 4g RAM of my Macpro which means it would be hard to run Rhino.
By the way, I am planning to buy Windows (I am sooooo ashamed to install that self-messed up OS on my Macpro. but so what,,, Autocad and Rhino do not run on Mac, and I need specifically the two programs). XP with sp2, sp3, or vista. which one is the best option?
Since my Macpro has only One 2.8GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, there is no need to buy XP professional? (XP home doesn't support multi-processors, and XP Pro does, I guess?)

VMware Fusion uses only 512 RAM maximum, doesn't it? But you said it will use my entire 4GB RAM but only 2 cores. That's something different from what I've known.
If fusion really uses 4gm RAM of my mac pro, I don't really have to use Boot Camp. But most people who need to run heavy programs in Windows choose Boot Camp because it's the only way to use a Mac just like a PC, meaning that the XP uses the entire RAM memory.
XP will only use 2 GB of RAM, no matter how much the system has.
I just found out that Rhino doesn't really work on Vista. So vista is ruled out.
Only Vista 64-bit recognizes all system RAM.

How to install Aperture on Mac OS 10.6.8?

how to install Aperture on Mac OS 10.6.8?

But the current AppStore version needs MacOS 10.7.5 or 10.8.2; there is no way to install it on Snow Leopard. The Trial version can be installed, but you need to purchase a serial number, and that you will find only with the retail version in the box.

How to install Aperture 2 over Academic 5.1

I have academic Aperture 1.5.6 installed on my 17" PB. I have purchased the full Aperture 2 since there is no academic upgrade. How do install Aperture 2 over Aperture 1.5.6. (There are no instructions in the material that came with Aperture 2.)
Thank you,
Susan

Aperture is pretty much self contained. Just install it (or, if you prefer, delete Aperture 1.5 from your /Applications folder and then install Aperture 2).

How to install latest mac OS x on iMac without original dvd

hi. I have imac Intel based and early 2008 model. I used Yosemite in it... I erased the Whole HDD.. Now it shows flashing folder icon with question mark..i don't have original DVD or internet connection.. My friend has mac book pro running Yosemite... He also got dmg files of Yosemite and other versions... He created usb bootable disk and it was working with his computer.... Can I use the same USB drive to clean install Yosemite on my computer? If not what are my options... Please help me..i kept iMac without any OS for two weeks... Thanks in advance...

No. You cannot install software downloaded by someone else from the App Store. You can use a USB flash drive to install Yosemite, but only the one you have. Since you did not keep yours, I assume, then you cannot create a flash drive installer. You need the Snow Leopard retail DVD.
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store.
Or you can purchase replacement discs from Apple if they still have them:

Unable to install aperture 3.1 dvd on snow leopard or lion

I have an aperture 3.1 install DVD. I tried to install it on my macbook running lion 10.7.3 and it says:
I then tried to install it on my mac mini running snow leopard 10.6.8... same result.
Then I tried to install on my macbook (dual booted with the lion) running 10.5.8, clean install it worked just fine. Installed and asked me to get the updates.
My question is: how do i get this isntalled on my macbook running lion 10.7.3?
I have tried to repair permissions, I tried making sure I had all the latest updates through software updater. I have tried restarting.
The only thing I haven't tried is format and reinstall fresh, but that is my last resort.

Is there any diagnostic message (error log) in the Console window, when you run the Aperture 3.1 installer on your Lion system? If you see any crash report, post the first 50 lines of the crash report.
Your boxed version is licenced to run on a macbook and a desktop computer. Since the Trial Version is no longer available for download try to download the full version from the App Store:
on the system where you have an Aperture Installation register your Aperture version with Apple, if you not already have done so,
Sign into the App Store with your apple ID you use for purchases; the App Store now should register your installed applications
And if you now log into the App Store with your same ID you should be able to see a download link to download Aperture without having to buy it.
see this thread: Here this approach seems to have worked
This solved my question Re: Ap 3 on two computers?
What I am not sure about, is if you will be able to log into the App Store from a Leopard System.
If you cannot do that, then try to get the latest Aperture update using your Leopard System:
Then I tried to install on my macbook (dual booted with the lion) running 10.5.8, clean install it worked just fine. Installed and asked me to get the updates.
Try to download the updates and make a copy of the installers, before they are deleted again. Then try to run these installer on your other system.

Installing Aperture without serial

I am trying to install Aperture 1 on my new computer, but I have lost the packaging. How do I install without a SN?

Is the new computer running Mavericks? If so even if you got Aperture 1 running it would not work very well with the new OS.
To upgrade to Aperture 3 will cost you as much if not more then just going to the Mac App Store and buying Aperture 3.5.1, the latest version.
Honestly I can see no advantage to you in trying to get Aperture 1 running if the new system is Mavericks.
regards
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Actually there probably is no upgrade path from 1 to 3 anymore, you will just need to buy 3.

Can't install Aperture 3 from DVD on 10.8.3

I just picked up a new iMac, installed 10.8.3 (updated from 10.8.2 which is what it shipped with) and then popped in a DVD w/Aperture 3. When opening it said it had to reopen the installer (which is weird), and now when I select a destination disk the HD has a warning symbol with the message "Aperture can't be installed on this disk. The contents of this disk can't be changed."
What's going on?

On which drive are you trying to install Aperture? Your system drive or an external drive?
Aperture needs to be installed in the "Applications" folder on your system drive for updates to work. Are you running the installer using an administrator account? Otherwise you may not have the necessary permissions to install Aperture.

How to install Quicktime WITHOUT iTunes?

It seems that there isn't a Quicktime installation kit, just an "iTunes with Quicktime" kit. That can't be right. I don't want to install Apple bloatware that I'm never going to use and would just uninstall right away just to get a simple video player.
Seriously, iTunes includes DRM (Digital Restrictions Software) of the sort that you often can never get off of your system without crippling it in some way.
All I want to do is watch movie previews. I shouldn't have to install 35 MB of software (compressed) just to watch movie previews.
So please, tell me how to install just Quicktime, or tell me about a Quicktime 7 compatible media player I can use as an alternative.
Tony
P.S. Why are so many movie previews available only in Quicktime format? Does Apple pay the studios to get a monopoly in this area or what? You can usually can get around this by going to Canadian sites, for example the US site for Imagine Me and You has only a Quicktime format preview, but you can go to a Canadian site, http://www.icinema.ca/movie.php?movieID=51628, and they have the preview in Windows Media and Real formats ONLY (Quicktime isn’t even available). But that's an inconvenience. Why can’t we get to choose our media format in the US?
Alienware something-or-other Windows XP

Thanks for the link. That's exactly what I was looking for.
I went back to the "Quicktime Download" tab and I still can't see a link to the /standalone page. It must be hidden somewhere, but Real does the same sort of bait-and-switch thing, except they are trying to trick you into paying for their product, which is even worse.
Also I apologize for the attitude. Just kind of frustrated, having spent too much time trying to solve this very minor problem.

How to install thunderbird without Eudora migrations

I have used Eudora since the mid 90s and now wish to switch to Thunderbird. I downloaded TB and installed it, including the option for importing mailboxes (and settings?) from Eudora 7. I'm using Windows 7. It worked perfectly, although it took quite a while to import the Eudora stuff. I then decided the Eudora stuff "cluttered" everything, when learning how to use TB, so I decided to uninstall TB, and reinstall it WITHOUT the Eudora migration option. This time, although the TB install again worked fine... all the Eudora imports arrived on TB again, even though I was given no chance/window to ask for or decline them this time. Please, how can I install TB without the Eudora imports, preferably WITHOUT uninstalling Eudora, as I at least want to keep it to refer to my many 100s of messages there.
Then, one day, I may choose to eventually import the Eudora stuff, but not until I become competent in TB. By the way, TB still imports Eudora stuff when installed, without asking, even when Eudora is "hidden" by PC-Magic Hidden Folders. Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you,
Charles

Thunderbird maintains a profile folder in the appdata folder on windows. You can uninstall reinstall and do just about anything you like, but the profile is unaffected by install and uninstall.
Close Thunderbird.
Type at the start menu search box %appdata% and press enter
the thunderbird folder shown in windows explorer will contain the profile and setting file that points to the location of the profile. Delete that folder and your good to go.
Start Thunderbird and it will be like a fresh install.
