  • How to format and reinstall 10.6.8 without disk

    How to re-format my HD and reinstall 10.6.8 without a disk?

    Can't be done.   You have to either call AppleCare if you lost the original discs, call the seller of the machine if it wasn't Apple and say the discs belong to the machine and have them call AppleCare if they lost the discs. If clone your hard drive with Superduper or Carbon Copy Cloner upon purchasing a Mac with 10.6 you can always restore the clone at anytime.   And before considering upgrading, note 10.7 and above lack Rosetta:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2465
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3761
    Macs newer than March 15, 2010 can't use the retail 10.6.3 installer, and must use the 10.6 installer that was pre bundled with them to install 10.6, if not a clone, and if pre bundled with some version of 10.6.  Prebundled with 10.7 Macs can't install 10.6 unless their actual hardware refresh date preceded 10.7's July 20, 2011 release.

  • How to reinstall mac os x without erase boot camp?

    Situation:Today, i was using mac os x this morning, it worked fine. then when i went home from work, start up the macbook pro, it took like 4-5 minutes to start the login, then take 30-45 secs, then the desktop starting to freeze!
    Notes: I have Boot Camp on it.
    Question: Can i reinstall mac os x without erasing the boot camp patition?
    Thank you to reply!

    Yes, if you think it's necessary you can hold c and boot off the installer OS X disk for your 10.6 and simply reinstall OS X and bundled programs right over the previous ones without it touching your files or other programs.
    However, you should take ANY opportunity to transfer your files off the computer (manually, not via TimeMachine) just in case there is a bigger issue afoot, like a failing hard drive.
    You might also want to take a look at the free OnyX, run all the maintainence and cleaning aspects and reboot.

  • How to reinstall os x tiger without recovery disk?

    turned on mac mini a1103 this morning to find grey screen with flashing folder. I have no boot disk and I have no experience in recovery?
    How do I get the mac mini back up and running?

    I agree the profile information is confusing but the a1103 is a G4. http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/mac_mini/specs/mac_mini_g4_1.25.html
    Do you have a bootable backup drive?  Without that or without a boot disc you are strongly disadvantaged.  There are ways you can attempt recovery but they are not simple.
    If you don't have an installer disc available you can try effecting repairs using fsk in Single User Mode - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417

    The Windows 7 USB Download tool will allow you to use a USB stick to install any version of Windows.
    My netbook is too small for an optical disk so the only way to install Windows is with a USB stick or USB optical drive.

  • Is a password required to format or reinstall OSX with or without disks?

    I'm worried about someone formatting or reinstalling my MacBook Air if it gets stolen so that I can't use iCloud to track it down. Is it possible to do any of this without my password? If so what safeguards can I use to prevent a format or reinstall without my permission?
    Thanks

    Using "Find My Mac", you can lock the system, rendering the system unusable without being unlocked at an Authorized Service Center, at which time it would be hoped that the center personnel follow procedure and contact the registered owner before unlocking.
    However, locking the system has one bad side effect. It prevents the owner from using Find My Mac to perform a location sweep, as it depends on the thief to use the guest account to sign on the internet, which he won't be able to do if the system is locked.
    I think the best bet is to decide how long you try and use the locating function, then resort to erasure and locking at some point.  Yes, the info will be lost, but that is one whopper of a reason to have a good backup regemin.

  • Yoga 3 Pro Slow - How to reinstall Windows 8.1 without all bloatware

    My new Yoga 3 Pro is slow and sticking even with using Office 365 and even when browsing it is allready sticking.
    I have heard that doing a clean install of just vanilla Win 8.1 pro is a good way to go.
    I am not super technical, what is the best way to approach that with the Yoga 3 Pro? Any cautions or recommendations against this approach?

    Hi,
    If you go with a clean install I'd suggest first making your recovery flash drive.  That way you can revert to the factory setup if you later change your mind.
    I tested a clean install on my Y3P a couple of days ago.  Things I noticed: the initial install screens are tiny due to the Y's high resolution.  The touchpad and touchscreen don't work during install, so you'll need to plug in a mouse or fuss with keyboard-only navigation.  After installation you'll only have 2.4GHz wifi, so you'll need to install the Lenovo driver.  There are probably other Lenovo drivers that will be required - but I haven't taken the experiment any farther yet.
    It's convenient that these days you can download the clean install image directly from Microsoft.

  • Can somebody please explain how to format and then reinstall Mac lion10.7 without cd

    can somebody please explain how to format and then reinstall Mac lion10.7 without cd

    You will need either an Ethernet or Wifi Connection to the Internet - USB Mobile device is not supported.
    If you already have Lion installed you can boot to Recovery with Command R and use the Disk Utility to erase the Macintosh HD and then reinstall the OS from the Mac OS X Utilities.
    You will need the Apple Id used for purchase if the Mac did not ship with Lion installed originally.
    If you want to repartition the HDD you can use the Recovery Disk Assistant to make a recovery USB drive
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848
    As Always - Back up the Mac before erasing unless you are confident there is absolutely nothing on the mac that you might possibly need later.
    If the machine is a 2011 build or later you might be able to boot to Internet Recovery with Command Option R

  • How do i restore missing files for i work 09 as it is asking me to reinstall but cant find the disk?

    how do i restore missing files for i work 09 as it is asking me to reinstall but cant find the disk?

    Hello Jessica472,
    It sounds like you need to recover some missing files but do not have access to the iWork '09 disc you used to install it. If you have a Time Machine backup and know what files you need, you can use the "Restoring specific files or folders" section of the following article to restore them:
    Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
    If you do not have Time Machine, you will need the disc to reinstall the software suite.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Sterling

  • Since you can no longer backup to disk, how to restore from external drive without losing all ratings and playlists

    since you can no longer backup to disk, how to restore from external drive without losing all ratings and playlists?

    My own opinion is that you should install the later appropriate version of Silverkeeper. That said, I would in fact recommend if you can wait a few days for an answer, that you email the La Cie Silverkeeper backup team via the email link on the site at http://www.lacie.com/silverkeeper/
    They are careful to say they are not officially providing a backup service, but when I emailed them with a query regarding usage about a year ago after downloading Silverkeeper for myself, I got a reply within a couple of days that cleared up my question.

    Well then when you erased your hard drive, your erased the Recovery partition, also.
    Use Internet Recovery to either restore from your Time Machine backup or reinstall the OS if you don't have a TM Backup.
    It will install the OS that shipped on that Mac. You can then upgrade via the App Store.
