How to install iCal without OSX disc?

I am using Macbook Pro with Snow Leopard. My iCal suddenly started behaving weird today so I looked for the Preferences files in the ~Library/ Preferences folder. Couldnt find any com.apple.iCal .. file. Not a single so I decided to delete iCal and reinstall. After I deleted iCal, I inserted OSX installation disc that came with my MBP (used only once for initial installation), my drive simply rejected it. I used other DVDs and same. I've very rarely used my optical drive but still this. Anyways, this MBP is an year old and I just want to install iCal so I can catch up to my schedules and proceed further. Help plz?

Thanks for the reply Greg!
Here is the update, I copied iCal from my friends macbook with same OS 10.6.8 and it worked BUT only the restoration of iCal app. It is still behaving weird though and I can not find the preferences files for iCal in the "Preferences" folder to reset the settings as a first step to fix it.
Any ideas what I may do?
Here are the details of the weird behaviour that iCal has been doing:
I was working like usual today morning untill I made some adjustments to my google calendar synced through CalDAV to iCal. I do it often but this time it wiped all my events for this current week for all calendars. I tried to turn on and off the calendars and sometimes events appeared and dissapeared again. Then iCal started freezing and crashing. Now I can open the iCal fine but I cant create any calendar, delete any calendar or any such operation. I cant even create events for this current week, it works for future weeks though. If I try to switch to current week, iCal simply freezes or crashes.
Thanks for any help!

Backup your user file folders to a external drive and disconnect.
Make sure you have a stable, reliable, fast Internet connection, use Ethernet cable if possible.
Hold Command R and boot from the Lion Recovery Partition, get online in the upper right corner, reinstall Lion, it will simply install Lion again and your bundled programs without touching your files or most all third party programs.

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.

Please stop asking about that on this forum.
There are plenty of informations on the Internet if you want to do it but nobody here will help, because is against the forum's rules.
And, you can't buy Mountain Lion if you do not have a Macintosh with at least Snow Leopard installed.
There is no physical media. Mountain Lion is provided by Apple through the Mac App Store.

How to install iDVD2 to OSX 10.4

Hi ... I am using an eMac with a DVD burner. At that time, the software came with OSX 10.2. I could use iDVD2 included to create DVD movies. However, after I upgraded the OSX to 10.4, I found iDVD has not been included in this new version of OSX.
I am asking how to install iMoive and iDVD 2 by using the diskes of 10.2. As, I dont want to buy iLife at this moment.
I hope friends here can give me hints.
eMac 800 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Download the pacifist from http://www.charlessoft.com/ and use this with your 10.2 discs.

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.

How to install OS9 in OSX with OS9 disk?

I just got a G4 with OSX installed and no disks I want to load OS9 for classic support with the OS9 disk I own. Do I need to do anything special to install? All the forums mention the OSX disk which wasn't included in the purchase I made. I don't suppose I could just copy the os9 system folder from my old computer and place it where it belongs in OSX ? Thanks for the help. CJ

CJ:
Welcome to Apple Discussions.I don't suppose I could just copy the os9 system folder from my old computer and place it where it belongs in OSX ?Yes, you may. Andrew is right. I have done it many times and it works perfectly. The beauty of doing this is that you don't have to do all the updates that you would have to do if you installed from disk.
The only concern I would have is whether Mac OS 9 drivers were installed when the disk was formatted for OS X. If they weren't, OS 9 would not work no matter how you installed. They very well might have been installed, though as DU usually has it selected by default.
Good luck.

Corrupt Boot disc - how do I boot from OSX disc to run Repair Disc?

I have just run Verify Disc and it has identified problems which requires me to boot from my OSX disc and run Repair disc.
I think I do this by switching on while holding down C....is that right?
ALSO I can only find my Leopard boot discs and I am currently running Snow Leopard....do I NEED to use the Snow Leopard discs to boot up?
Thanks in advanced....worried!

Unfortunate that your HD and Time Capsule are playing up at the same time, to say the least.
Hopefully your data will be salvageable, and there are several software options to try, here's a couple:
free (I think) http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/35373/disk-drill
and paid for http://download.cnet.com/Data-Rescue/3000-2094_4-211375.html
I've not used either, but the paid for app may look pricey but it seems highly recommended byt those that have used it.
Have you tried re-booting the Time Capsule - still seems hard to believe that's gone down as well. Good luck.

How to install photoshop without disk but with serial number

Any ideas on how to install a permission of PS if I've lost the installation disk but do have the serial number?

Hello Scotty,
you should download a trial version e.g. there >>> http://www.adobe.com/downloads.edu.html >>> https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/photoshop
and change it after that in a "real" version.
For elder versions come back please or use https://www.google.de/search?newwindow=1&site=&source=hp&q=adobe+download+photoshop+&oq=ad obe+download+photoshop+&gs_l=h….
