How to install leopard again after formating hd and now it just allows me to download yosemite.
how to install leopard again after formating hd and now it just allows me to download yosemite. When i insert the original cd of leopard it doesnt restart from it!!!
I made a mistake formating hd without creating a bootable disk... So i started the process to install yosemite, then i formated the hd and forgot that the installer was no more in applications because no more applications forlder!!! after the format it just allows me to install directly from app store which is taking 18 hours to download.
I tried to restart with original leopard cd but it didnt recognize it and jump back to yosemite install from app store..
What should i do?
Can anyone help me please? thanks
How did you even manage to start installing Yosemite? What operating system did you have before you upgraded? It wasn't Leopard, since you need Snow Leopard (10.6) to get to the App Store.

How to install old bookmarks after formating PC but I didn't back up anything?
I just reformatted my laptop without back up any Bookmarks.
After formatting & installing Firefox, I realize that none of my Bookmarks are at Firefox.
Please let me know any possible way to install back my old bookmarks as some are very important to me as don't know where to find back.Ok so it's evident you don't want help here, so here's the answer. If you didn't backup Firefox, then you lost all your Firefox bookmarks. I tried to ask you if you made any other backups that possibly included Firefox's data, but you refused to answer. So I'm assuming you didn't, which means, your Firefox data is gone. Sorry. You should have backed it up.

Solved! How to install Lightroom again after deleting?
Hello.
I deleted lightroom on my desktop today, because I wanted to install it new later.
After restart, I opened the adobe application manager which still says, that Lightroom is istalled.
The search on my Mac can't find any files from lightroom, because I empied the trash.
Help! What to do?Solution:
In Adobe Installers I could deinstall Lightroom and the Manager itself (Before, I tried to delete the manager, but it was not successful, even after moving the app to the trash).
After that I downloaded the Manager again.
Then I could dowload the Lightroom, too. -
After many hours setting up OS10.10 from he scratch the last step should be installing m Adobe apps again.
trying this I always get the error message that creative cloud does not accept case sensitive file systems and I shall use another drive.
This means I have to set up the whole machine again after formatting without case sensitive but then having copy problems with my NAS?
I cannot belief that Adobe is really demanding this. If so this would show how urgent this market need alternatives and some more competition...Hi,
You can refer below link for more information.

Format HDD and Install Leopard Again.
Hello,
I have a macbook C2D with 2GB of RAM and a 320 GB HDD.I have around 15 GB media in my iTunes.
Now I want to format my Hard disk completely and install leopard as a fresh copy.
How do I go about this?I also want to back up all my content and then restore them once I install Leopard again.
I still have the 120 GB HDD which I originally got with my MB and also an enclosure.
Please advice the procedure to follow.
ThanksSuperDuper! is not a bit copier -- it is file based for safety & does not copy certain files to the clone.
Likewise, Setup/Migration Assistant does not do a bit-level copy. The assistant allows you to select which user account(s) to migrate & if you want to transfer applications, files and folders, or your Library folder. You can also choose whether or not you want to use your old network, time zone, and sharing settings.
I recommend one additional step in addition to what macjack provided: before doing the install, use the "Partition" tab of Disk Utility (available from the "Utilities" menu of the Installer disk) to reformat the drive. (One partition is the usual choice.) An Erase & Install does not format the drive, which includes rewriting the partition scheme information & partition(s) used for that. The extra step is quick & the only way to completely format the drive.
Note: make sure you choose the "GUID Partition Table" with the "Options..." button if you want the standard partition scheme for an Intel Mac. -
How to install Leopard in my iMac if it has no DL-DVD player?
How to install Leopard in my iMac if it has no DL-DVD player?
My eMac is:
eMac G4/1.25 (USB 2.0) with 2GB RAMMost PPC Macs cannot boot OSX from USB, they need Firewire... that being said, out of 13 PPC Macs I had one that booted from USB Drives, including Flash Drives, it was my eMac/1.42GHz as a matter of fact, USB drives would show as a boot choice if I held the Option/alt key at bootup, (nowhere else), but It lost that ability when I reset the NVRAM.
The USB boot workaround that works for some is...
Connect the drive to your machine, and find out which partition the OS X system is installed on. I usually find this by going to Disk Utility and looking at the info for the partition on the USB disk with OS X. That is, disk2s3 is usually for a USB disk with no OS 9 drivers installed that is the second disk disk. disk3s9 might be a USB disk with OS 9 drivers that is considered the third disk. There are other ways of finding this out, but in my case, my disk is disk2s3 (the 3 on the end will come into play soon).
Start up the machine in Open Firmware (this is the fun part). Hold Command-Option-F-F right after the machine is turned on.
Here is the moment of truth. If this step does not work, I have had very limited success getting a machine to boot off USB2. In Open Firmware, type devalias, and you should get a list as output. In this list, look for ud, usually below where you see hd (ud is "USB Disk," I presume). If found, it will usually have beside it /pci@f2000000/usb@1/disk1, or something similar. Again, if you see this, I have not had this fail yet.
Now type printenv boot-device, which will usually get you output of boot-device hd:,\\:tbxi. (See where this is going yet?)
Type setenv boot-device ud:3,\\:tbxi where the number after the colon corresponds to that partition number we found in step two. You should get an ok back.
Type printenv boot-device, and you should see the change displayed already. Something like:
boot-device ud:3,\\:tbxi hd:,\\:tbxi"

You'd need to clone the Install Disc to a Flash Drive, or make a DMG of it then Restore it to the Flash drive. -
have reformatted my Imac using original discs (installed leopard (10.5)) tried to do the software update but it cant download the itunes update and when it gets to the configure update screen after restart for main update, it just gets stuck. HELP!
The configure bar gets about an 1/8 full and then just does nothing. I think its lists the update as combo update? cant remember with out checking.
I have tried to do the disk verify and repair but this has made no difference.
Please let me know what i need to do, I have reformatted the mac just to start over as was clogged with a lot of useless data, I had installed lion (10.7) from the app store previously and now cant seem to find a way to re install lion. I hope I dont need to pay for it again?If you erased your hard drive, you'll need to reinstll OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to access the App store. You won't have to pay for OS X 10.7 Lion again. Did you try booting to the recovery partition by holding the command and r keys down? If that's still there, you can reinstall OS X 10.7 from there.
If you're looking to install the current iTunes, you need OS X 10.6.8 at a minimum.
If you're still trying to update OS X 10.5 Leopard, you can download the combo update from here. Download, use Disk Utility to repair permissions, apply the update, then repair permissions again. That will take you to OS X 10.5.8. -
How do install Leopard from intel to ppc by Firewire?
Can anyone tell me how to install Leopard from my intel macbook to my older ppc? When I try to install from firewire it says that the drive is going to GUID and non-bootable. My DVD drive on the PPC isn't good enough for the Leopard DVD. Any suggestions are appreciated.
I'm not commenting on whether the type of Mac is compatible with the Leopard install.
I'll offer suggestion for the firewire install. The objective is to take the Leopard DVD and transfer in some way to a firewire drive to be able to boot a PPC Mac and complete a Leopard install to the PPC Mac.
How? Take a firewire external drive and partition it in two. One for your data and the other (7.2 gigs) max, for the ability to restore the Leopard DVD to that smaller partition. Once restored you'll be able to boot(using system startup control panel) and install Leopard to a PPC Mac.
The rule to follow is to use APM ie Apple Partition Map to boot PPC Macs. GUID mapping is for intel Macs. You use options within Disk Utility ti select which way to go. You cannot have both on one firewire hard drive. I use two firewire hard drives: one APM and the other GUID.
How to setup the small partition? Connect firewire drive to your PPC Mac. Open disk utility. Create your two partitions(remember when you do this the drive is formatted and all data is gone, so backup first). Remember to use option and select APM, although on a PPC Mac it should be by default and ditto if on an intel Mac for GUID. Once the partitioning is complete, select Restore and while using the left hand column(just read the instruction in the disk utility window) and assuming you now have the Leopard DVD on the desktop , drag the install OSX section from the left hand column to "source" and then drag the Leopard small partition from the left hand column to "destination." Wait 20 minutes and you are completed. Now you can boot from the firewire drive and install Leopard to a PPC Mac. -
I used utilities to source my 10.6 snow leopard install disc to my main hardrive, and now when I turn on my computer the apple with the spinning wheel stays on the screen and stuck like that. How do I fix it Help please. I already tried all the commands such as Command R, Holding down the Option key, C and holding down shift at the start up but nothing happens.
initialy All I was trying to do was downgrade 10.7 to 10.6 .You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying. If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities. In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs. You may need them. -
How to install Leopard from an external DVD reader?
Hi,
I've bought Leopard today. unfortunately, it's not yet installed on my PowerBook. As my SuperDrive is dead, I use now an external DVD (Lacie Portable DVD-RW), but it doesn't work. I can read the Leopard install DVD, but when it reboot, it reboot on my current installation.
I've tried the following during the boot sequence:
- alt pressed, but I can only see my main HDD
- c pressed, but I boot on my current installation
Can you tell me if it is possible to install Leopard from an external DVD, and how can I do that ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Emmanuel Di PretoroCan you tell me if the same problem occur with a FireWire external DVD ?
It does not occur on your model of Mac.

How to install leopard from a DMG file instead of DVD

Use Disk Utility to restore the DMG to a blank partition, then use the Startup Disk preferences pane to reboot from that partition. Why not just install from the DVD, though?

How to install Ciscom Connect after setting up the devise
I have set up my router E1200 v2 with the disc after the direction through live chat as I received error code. Now my router works well but I don't have Ciscom Connect software in my program. I downloaded it from the site and saved it in my folder as an application. Now, how I can install it? As it is 'set up software', when I make it run, it tries to set up but the router has already been set up so it can't complete the setting-up then no software is saved as a program nor no 'ciscom' file is created.
The software I downloaded was not the right one?
I can enter Ciscom Connect page as I know the address for directly connection but still I would like to have one as a program which allow me to go to the CC easily.
Let me know how to install CC software after setting up...
