How to install X11? I have lost my CD!

Hi everyone I need to install X11 on my Macbook to use Gimp - I have test from this program on friday!
The problem is that when I open Gimp it says 'Missing X11, Gimp.apprequires X11 from the ''Optional Installs''package on the OS X install disc.'' but the problem is that I LOST the install disc!
I downloaded X11 from this site http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/x11formacosx.html but during installation when I select my volume > Macintosh HD it says 'You cannot install X11 on this volume. Newer software already exists on your computer'!
What should I do?

First, double check that you don't have X11 already installed (it would be in the Utilities folder I believe).
If its really not anywhere you can probably get it to install by going into I believe /Library/Receipts or /System/Library/Receipts and removing the X11 package in there (its just a placeholder receipt). That should allow you to reinstall it again.
Let me know if that works out for you.

    After installing iOS7 I have lost my facebook ... How do I get it back?

    Hi there,
    Are you absolutely sure the app is installed? Go into the App Store, search for Facebook and tap 'Free' and 'Install' if they are available.
    If it says 'installed' then make sure you don't have it hidden away in a folder, by dragging down from the center of the home screen and searching for it.

  • How to install X11 1.1.3 when all you have is 1.0?

    Help! I just upgraded OS X 10.3.9 to 10.4.11, and almost everything seems to be fine except that can't seem to get the newest version of X11. I installed v. 1.0 that comes with the install DVD, and then I tried to get 1.1.3 (so I could download the latest GIMP) but you can only install 1.1.3 if you have 1.1 at least. Which is fine except that I can't find just a plain version of X11 1.1 or 1.1.1 to install!! So if course it won't let me install 1.1.3 (says I have a newer version installed already, which I don't). Where oh where can I find X11 1.1? Or is there a way around this?
    Thanks,
    Jerzy

    Did you install X11 from the DVD before or after getting the software updates to bring the system up to 10.4.11? Does Software Update offer you anything? I only show updates for 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 so I'm wondering if an earlier update might have been included as part of a more general update.
    Are you sure you installed from the Tiger DVD? My receipt for X11 shows the version as 1.1. The date on the receipt is shortly after I got this machine.

  • How to install x11??

    I just downloaded gimp, and it says i need x11. So i download x11 from apple and when i try to install it, it says newer software is already on my system!
    So wth? Do i have it or not? Its nowhere to be found on the install discs that came with my macbook

    Use the install disks from your mac to install X11, the X11 download on apples site is for panther not tiger.

  • HT201272 i have a iphone 4 after installing backup i have lost the safari

    i have lost the safari app can i restore it again

    If you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find it via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari being set 'off' ?
    If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it after the phone has restarted ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4.6 - How to install X11 without DVD?

    I originally bought my system G4 powerbook with 10.2 on it. I have done the upgrades and am now running 10.4.6.
    I want to install OpenOffice 2.0.X but I don't own a 10.4 Tiger install DVD.
    How do I get X11? Everone says it's on the DVD but that doesn't help someone who has an older system and upgraded to Tiger!

    Because the only way to upgrade from Jaguar to Tiger is to buy a Tiger DVD (you cannot download an upgrade) that means you must have obtained an illegal copy of Tiger. The Tiger version of X11 is indeed on the Tiger DVD and is not available as a download from Apple. Therefore, you will need to purchase a Tiger package from Apple.
    Assisting someone who has obtained software illegally would be a violation of the Terms of Use of these Discussions. Don't expect any assistance.
    The proper solution is to purchase a legitimate copy of Tiger.

  • How to Identify titles that have lost the link to the music file/folder..

    Is there a way of listing all the Music titles that no longer have a valid link to the source file and deleting them. I am afraid in my previous inexperience i inadvertently messed things up while trying to organise... ehum... Anyway, trying to organise again hopefully with more success now. Any help gratefully received. Thanks.

    TT2's +*lost & found+* will work.
    another option might be this app:
    _*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
    This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.

  • How to find if I have lost my jms connection?

    Is there a way to find if my client has lost its connection to the JMS service?

    believe only approach is optimistic: expect success,
    react on fail
    try/catch for JMSException: send() producer-side,
    receive() consumer-side
    on exception: retry by close() Connection/Session,
    recreate Connection/Session, and reattempt actionYes. Plus: set an ExceptionListener at the JMS connection and act properly when onException is called. The ExceptionListener is the hook where JMS providers usually report a connection lost.

  • I was asked to up grade my Firefox, when I did this the system crashed and I have lost use of my book marks and fire fox, I have not been able to fix it.

    Two days ago I logged on to Firefox. I recieved a message that told me that I was using an out dated version. I had to up grade . I followed the instruction and when finished fire fox crashed. I am unable to delete firefox, reload it, or use it. I am forced to use Internet Explorer to use my computer. I have lost my book marked sites, and I am at a loss as how to retrieve what I have lost. I have tried to follow the instructions to fix the problem but I have not been able to fix the problem. I sent the crash information but recieved no responce.

    I am puzzled by this. The laptop doesn't need the Apple ID - but iTunes does. I could be missing something but ....
    Why would you not be able to use your existing Apple ID and iTunes account on a new laptop? If you authorized the computer - you should be able to use your existing account - unless you already had 5 computers authorized with the existing ID - and that was why iTunes would not accept the ID. However, I'm sure that you would have received a popup message from iTunes telling you that you had reached the limit.
    I just received a new MBP and my daughter did as well. My entire family shares an Apple ID and we had no issues at all with my Apple ID and iTunes on our new computers and I did not have to sign up for a new account. Did you even try the old ID?

  • Have lost my playlist "recently added"

    Not sure how, but I seemed to have lost the playlist "recently Added" from my left hand side playlists, which was always very useful to me. Any ideas how to get it back?
    Thanks

    The default playlists are just Smart Playlists and you can recreate them. In iTunes go to File>New Smart Playlist
    Recently Added:
    Match the rule "Date Added">"is in the last">"1">"Days" make the days and the interval to suit yourself, you can have days, weeks or months.
    Check the box "Live Updating"
