How to reinstall my system only?
My system crashed and I want reinstal it. I have 4 partitions on my HDD
/boot
/root
/home
swap
I want reinstal /root only, need /home stay without changes. How to do it safety?
at installation don't choose to format that partition, and you'll have just to specify the file system. i recommend cleaning the "trash" in your home directory before re-installing, eg. .local,.cache,.gimp2,gnome2,.kde4,etc. sometimes is better to start with defaults.

How to reinstall bootable system 9 in a PowerPC G4/1.25 DP (Mirrored Drive)
Hi all, I have two machines bootable with OSX and OS9
PowerPC G4/1.25 DP (Mirrored Drive Doors) dual 1.25 GHz PowerPC 7455 (G4)
and
iBook G3/900 900 MHz PowerPC 750fx (G3)
I have some MACOS9 software which just doesn't work in classic mode with any OSX
I got the system disks stolen while travelling. Any Panther or Tiger will install easily in the OSXC partitions I have, the machines, there is some kind of soft lock preventing the regular OS9 system Software disks to install in the OS9 parts of the my drives- So I am now unable to reinstal and booth from system 9.
I tried it all partioning the HD, leaving it as is .... but nothing happens. As soon as I insert any System 9 install disk the computer rejects it telling me is not for that machine, and booting from CD is not happening either with a similar message.
I am unable to locate reploacement disks anywhere and Apple here in Taiwan is silent on this matter, what to do?
Thanks

I have no idea what your unpublished comment was concerning ethics, support, or whatever, but this is a user forum which largely consists of people from all around the world who are citizens of many countries. As such, it's really not a soap box for attacking the ethics or morality of fellow members, their countries, their backgrounds, or their beliefs. The folks who responded to your inquiry did so both voluntarily and for your benefit, while trying to consider your best interests. Responding by inferring that the people who earnestly offered to assist you lack ethics in their standard view of things indeed strikes me as an undeserved insult of them.
That being said, perhaps one of the following approaches might work better for you, while sparing you from having to deal with any allegedly unethical peoples of one nation or another:
You might just file a police report and wait for your local police to find and return the missing discs.
Alternately, you might consider publishing a public appeal to the morality of person that took them, particularly if they were stolen in an "ethical" country during your travels.
You could also file a claim with your insurance company and use your reimbursement to buy replacement discs or maybe even flags to burn.

If you are unable to obtain them from Apple there, you may need to call Apple Customer Relations in California and see if they can send you the CD's. If they have them available, they usually will send them to you (for a fee).
The number there is (408) 996-1010. Call between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Pacific Time, and be sure to ask for Customer Relations.
Once you have the CD's, a link to the procedure can be found in this Apple Knowledge Base article:

How to reinstall audit system?
I have ASE 12.5 without audit installed. Then some one try to install it before: 2 databases created: aud_db and sybsecurity, but the installation not completed or failed, the 2 dbs are empty db without any table. I want to reinstall syb audit and want to reuse the existing dbs created before. it will override the dbs or need to remove them before reinstall?
all/all/all is not a valid set of parameters (see the source for sp_audit for a detailed analysis of valid tuples).
If you want to enable all auditing options then you'll have to loop through a list of logins and/or role names and issue: sp_audit 'all',<login_or_role_name>,'all',<desired_setting>
Keep in mind that in a real/live dataserver you are not going to want to enable all auditing options for all logins/roles, otherwise you could easily bring your dataserver to its knees with all the overhead processing required to capture the huge volume of audited operations. -
How to reinstall from time machine onto a new hard drive?
how to reinstall the system from time machine to a new hard drive?
If you are connected to the internet you can do this.
Boot your computer and immediately hold down command, option and R (three keys together). This gets you connected with internet recovery.
See this article for more directions: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718.
This process installs an OS on your blank drive. You can then boot from the fresh OS installation and restore from your Time Machine back up.
Note that you cannot boot from a TM back up. -
With Lion, How Can I Erase the Hard Drive and Reinstall The System Software?
I plan on buying a used iMac with a Core 2 Duo so that I can run Lion. Since Lion can only be purchased at the Mac App store what if I needed to erase my hard drive and re-install the system software. How can I do this without a DVD with the OS on it like I have for Snow Leapard. I suppose that I could boot from my Snow Leapard DVD and do the erase. Then, I supposed I would be able to download Lion again from the Mac App Store without paying for it again. But, how would you erase a hard drive and reinstall the system software when purchasing a new Mac with Lion already installed and no DVD at all with the OS on it?
-- KaydellWhen someone purchases any Apple computer with a DVD Drive, they should have recieved two DVDs... One contains the Operating System (up to Snow Leopard, Lion no longer ships on DVD) and the other contains the SYSTEM SOFTWARE (i.e. iLife and iWork). To install the software, they just insert the DVD with the SYSTEM SOFTWARE into any compatible Mac and run the installer. There is no need to erase the hard drive to install SYSTEM SOFTWARE. Maybe a friend can let you borrow the SYSTEM SOFTWARE DVD. The other option is to purchase the software via the App Store.
FYI... App Store purchases are linked to the PURCHASER'S APPLE ID. So if you buy a used Mac from a friend and that Mac already has Lion installed on it,that Lion purchase is linked to YOUR FRIEND'S APPLE ID, not yours. So if you want to download Lion again, you will have to enter your FRIEND'S APPLE ID AND PASSWORD. You can always have your friend re-download Lion and make you a DVD copy. -
Someone in Australia was using my email address and when I changed email names to reinstall Itunes it only gives me states from Australia. Is there some cache on my system that should be cleared or removed?
Good luck. I have been trying to report to Apple Support about a Bogus Email I received today, which said I had made a purchase. Naturally, I was to cancel this bogus purchase by giving out personal details etc to them.
The real question is: how did they get my email as someone who had purchased from Itunes?. I cannot believe that ti si coincidence.
HAVE the Australian Apple IDs [where users have supplied their email addresses] been compromised?
My report about Spam was the same as reported in 2010, when the reply was: Apple knows all about this. What has been done about that spam from this address:

I instaled the latest Safari Update and iTunes Update and now when I select Podcasts it crashes iTunes--it seems to only be the Podcast option that causes the crash. So how do i install or reinstall the system extension listed above, that cannot be used? The error message suggest that I reinstall or contact the vendor????? I also added an app to my dashboard which I have delected. Should I reinstall the system that came with the mini ---Leopard 10.6.2?
If it has an uninstaller use that. Be sure you delete the kext file; and you will need to restart afterwards.
If there is no uninstaller then see the following:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
AppZapper
Automaton
Hazel
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

How Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
A few of the basic OS X installed applications can be restored from the Optional Installs installer located in the Optional installs folder on your Installer DVD. However, if what you need is not there then follow the instructions below.
How to Use Pacifist to Restore Deleted or Missing OS X Components
Insert the OS X Installer DVD into the optical drive. Use a simple utility like TinkerTool to toggle invisibility so you can see invisible items. Alternatively, open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
Press RETURN.
To turn off the display of invisible files repeat the above command substituting No for Yes.
The install packages are located in the /System/Installation/ folder on the DVD.
Download the shareware utility Pacifist. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the missing item(s) from the file archives on your OS X installation DVD. The file archives are in the /System/Installations/ folder (use Go to Folder option in the Go menu of the Finder.)
Here are Four Basic ways to use Pacifist (courtesy of George Orville.)
A. Drag a .pkg icon onto the Pacifist window .....proceed to step 7.
B. Click on “Open Package ....” and navigate to package desired and click “Open” in
the open/save window.....proceed to step 7.
C. Insert Mac OS X installer CD and when it mounts, navigate to .... Menu->Go->Go
to Folder. In the path field enter or paste ....
/Volumes/disc name/System/Installation/Packages (where disc name is the name of the CD/DVD that you inserted.)
Click on the "Go" button ..... • Drag a .pkg to Pacifist..... proceed to step 7.
The package you'll need will have to be discovered by trial and error, but for most applications you should start with the Essentials.pkg and/or Additional Essentials.pkg.
D. Insert your Mac OS X install disk 1 .... and open Pacifist.
1. In Pacifist, select "Open Mac OS X Install Packages" ... dialog may appear asking for disk 2, then disk 3 and finally disk 1 again.... {if DVD is not used)...If “Stop Loading” is selected...the procedure will stop!!!
2a. When loading is complete, a new window appears, click the triangle to display contents of each package...Select item and proceed to step 7.
2b. or click the “Find” icon in the Pacifist window and type the name of the software you need.
3. In the list that comes back, click the top most entry for the item that you want. ..... that is the one for the English language.
4. On the top of the Pacifist window, click “verify” .... you will probably be prompted for your password.
5. Enter checks for.... “verify permissions” and “verify file contents.” and click “verify” ....enter password when prompted.... you will get back output which may look like this:
20 files were scanned. 20 of 20 files were present on the hard disk. 0 of 20 files had file permissions that did not match those specified in the package. 0 of 20 files had checksums that did not match those specified in the package.
6. Click “close”. Go to step 7.
Extract or Install........
7. In the Toolbar (upper left), you now have the option to extract or install. Click a file in the lower list and those two icons will be enabled.
8. If “Extract to...” is selected.... navigate to the location where the file will be placed, select “choose”, select “extract” in new dialog that appears,authenicate , if prompted, click “OK”.
9. In the next dialog, click “Extract”.
10. If “Install” is selected... dialog will appear with the location/path of the installed software. Click “Install”
11. Type in your password, click “OK”
Pacifist will begin to extract files.
12. In steps 8/10ß.... you also have the choice to “cancel”
Notes: Pacifist may find that a file it is installing already exists on the hard disk. Pacifist will present you with an alert panel....
• Stop
• Leave original alone
• Update .....
• Default selection
• Replace .... (Replace option should only be used on full install packages) -
How do i reinstall my system 10.8-Having Epson Printer Issues
I am having a massive problem with an Epson Stylus C88+ printer that used to work with my new iMac Late 2012 computer using System 10.8.4
Recently there was an update V2.5 for this printer. Once I installed the update the printer stopped working.
I now get a Epson Filter Failed error message and have tried everything to resolve it I could find on the internet.
Something in that upgrade killed the printer for me and the only thing I could find that I didn't do was to reinstall my system 10.8.
Does anyone know and easy way to do this which won't cause me too much pain? Or is there another fix for this issue?
The printing error message is:
Stopped - 'Filter' failed, 1 page
I tried to rename the computer in the Sharing pref, then went to the Printer and Scan preferences to make sure this is the name I used as well and nothing works.Open the Sharing pane in System Preferences. If the Computer Name is not set, enter a name. You may first have to click the lock icon in the lower left corner and authenticate to unlock the settings. According to one report, the name must be set to "machd" (without the quotes) in order to get the printer working. After that, you may be able to change the name.
The bug that causes the crash seems to be fixed in the latest version of the Epson printing software.
