How to boot up from new harddrive install

I'm about to replace my harddrive before it crashes. My question is, can I copy my existing HD data onto the new harddrive before installing it? I have a firewire case I can use for this process. I have a freeware copy of Superduper I can use.
I have replaced my HD once before, but it was after my drive crashed so I had to do a new install of OS X and then replace all apps one-by-one. I'm hoping to avoid this by replacing the drive early this time, and it would be great if a cloned copy of my contents put onto the new drive before install could allow me to boot up and operate normally. Thanks!

Sure. Put the new drive in the FW enclosure and prep the drive:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select the new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
7. Repeat Steps 4-6 for each volume created if more than one.
Next, clone your old system to the new drive:
How to Clone Using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the external drive's volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the the external drive's volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the startup volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
8. Select the destination drive on the Desktop and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the bottom in the Ownership and Permissions section be sure the box labeled "Ignore Permissions on this Volume" is unchecked. Verify the settings for Ownership and Permissions as follows: Owner=system with read/write; Group=admin with read/write; Other with read-only. If they are not correct then reset them.
Upon completion of cloning open the Startup Disk preference, select the icon for the external drive, then click on the Restart button. If all goes well your computer should start up from the external drive. Now shut down and swap drives.

How to install Deskjet 3055a, new router but unsupported operating system on Macbook

Hi, Please go easy with me, I really know very little about all this ! We have a Deskjet 3055A printer which has been linked wirelessly to my iPad and a MacBook without a problem until now. We have installed a new router. I am thinking that we have to amend our network in some way ? I have tried to run the HP cd on the MacBook to amend it, but all I get is the message as follows... "Unsupported operating system. The installer is not compatible with the version of the operating system on your computer. It is compatible only with 10.6 and below." The MacBook is running OS X version 10.9.5 Any help greatly appreciated - thank you ! ( Please keep it simple !! ) We 

Welcome to the community @Teekayk
I understand you are trying to install your Deskjet 3055A on your Mac, running Mavericks. The installation CD may be compatible up to 10.6, and that could be why you are seeing the error message.
This link should help you. It will show you how to install the printer on your Mac. There is no full driver and software available for the Deskjet 3055A on Mavericks, which basically means you will need to review your other options to scan on your Mac through Apple Updates, which is all included in the guide.

Tutorial: how to install ubuntu on new alu macs.

Okay, to install the most popular distro. of linux, ubuntu, you must first go to the site and download a live CD (this is the type of installer i will be using on this tutorial). Now after the download is done, go to disk utilities and burn the img to a CD-R. Put the CD somewhere safe for now. Now go to the bootcamp assistant app and make a partition, at least 20 gigs should do. now after that is done, dont click install windows now, click on install later. Okay, now for installing...
1. put the cd in the computer.
2. restart and hold down the option key at startup (before apple logo)
3. select windows (it says windows because that is the only approved OS to run with macOS)
4. select language and then select install ubuntu.
5. follow the simple instructions until it gets to the part where you need to partition your drive.
6. select manually partition (the last option)
7. delete the 20Gig FAT32 partition (should be near bottom)
8. now with the free space, create a 3000mb swap area partition.
9. after that, make a 1000mb ext3 (the first option) and then under mount options, make it a /home partition.
10. for the final step, make the rest of the free space a ext3 but under the mount options, this time just select the "/". now your done, click install and fill out your personal info and you should be good.
11. have it restart and when it's shutting down, it should spit out the disk.
12. once it is restarting, hold down the option key again and insert the disk once the macOS HD icon comes up. the disk should appear next to it and be labeled windows.
13. select the cd and when the menu for the cd comes up again, go to the last option where it says "boot up from first drive" or something like that (sorry, im typing this off of memory).
14. you will need to update everything, but besides that, you should be golden. as far as i know, you have to insert the cd every time, i dont know how to get it to work with out the cd, sorry. (please inform me if someone knows how)
hope this helped!

Old computer dead - how to install Pro on new PC?

My old computer completely died - could not uninstall Acro Pro - would like to install on new PC - HOW?

Hi jxaustin10,
If you own Acrobat Pro on a disc, simply insert the disc, run setup.exe and use the serial number on the case the disc was in.
If you purchased a download of the software from Adobe, simply visit Adobe.com and click 'Sign in' at the top right corner. Log into the site with your Adobe ID and password. Go to the purchases section and you'll find your software download and serial number.
Please let us know if you have any questions.

How to install OSX on new SSD?

I just purchased the 2012 i5 Mac Mini and replaced the 500GB hard drive with a new 128GB Samsung 840 Pro. Built many PCs in the past, but this is my first Mac.
What are my options for installing OSX on it? When I first boot up I am greeted with a folder with a question mark in it. I hope this is typical? Also, did the SSD need to be formatted first? I just opened it up and put it in. I thought I could just hit command+r to do an internet install, but I have had no luck getting that to work with my Windows keyboard.
If at all possible, I would prefer not to have to remove the drive again since it's so cumbersome.
I don't have an external optical drive.
I do have an external hard drive.
I do have a few 8GB and 16GB flash drives.
I have an ethernet cable for internet connection.
I probably could have done a little more research before doing this, but I would greatly appreciate any help.

Finally was able to get keyboard to start disk util/internet install. When I started internet install disk was nowhere to be found. I used a SATA to USB cable to boot from the 500GB drive and formatted the SSD. Then rebooted again, and currently finishing internet install. Hope it goes well.

How to install OS on new internal?

Hello, Im a bit of a novice here. I recently replaced my hard drive in my Power Mac G5. The old hard drive died 2 weeks after the Apple Care ended. I purchased a new hard drive (Western Digital SATA 500gb) the physical install was very easy and clean. I started up the computer with the install disc in the drive while holding down the "c" key and was able to get to disk utility. I partitioned the drive and then set about installing the OS X onto the drive. In the installer the HD icon is unselectable, it has the red exclamation point over it. Really not sure what else to do. Searched around the internet for a while trying to find a solution, with no luck. Any ideas? Thanks for your help...

Hi Limnos;
There is no such thing as an Intel G5!
G5 is a Power PC chip made by IBM and Intel is a chip made by Intel of course.
If you are referring to the desktop model with an Intel processor that is commonly called the Mac Pro.

How to install idvd on new imac

My iMac did not come with iDVD pre-installed. How do i download it either from the apple store or from some third party site?
Please help me out thanks!

There is no way to download it. If you want it, you can buy the retail iLife 11 disk version which includes iDVD - either at the Apple store or online resellers. I purchased it because I use iDVD extensively and wanted to make sure that I'd have a way to reinstall if necessary.
