I am missing the os 10.4 disks for an early white intel imac.

I am missing the os 10.4 disks for an early white intel 24" imac. Is there any where to download it. I have 10.4 disks for an mac pro 10.4 and macbook pro 10.4 and tons of others but am missing the install discs for this computer.
Avid Xpress is used on that mac so I can't update it to 10.5 otherwise Avid stops working.
Does apple have any support/downloads for that system?

No downloads for the Discs, but it's possible that if you call AppleCare with it's Serial# handy, they may have replacement original Discs for a small fee.

  • I'm missing the back cover and flap for my book. Doesn't show up in the interface. How can I restore these?

    I'm missing the back cover and flap for my book in the layout interface. Does anyone know how to restore these?  I've searched the interface but can't find an option to add cover/flap. Don't want to order a book without it.
    Any advice is welcome!

    Time to repair you library: do the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
    3 - if necessary repeat with Option #1, Repair Permissions.

  • Is it worthwhile to replace the hard drive in a 24" 2008 dual core intel iMac?

    Is it worthwhile to replace the hard drive in a 24" 2008 dual core Intel iMac?

    If you still have a use for it it's definately worth it. You can upgrade the ram to a maximum of 6GB and run the current Yosemite OS. Hard drives are cheap and it's not that difficult, here's a step by step guide https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iMac+Intel+24-Inch+EMC+2134+and+2211+Hard+Drive+Rep lacement/8968

  • Is it possible to use the snow leopard install disk for bootcamp setup?

    I'm going to be installing a windows 7 partition through bootcamp on my macbook, but I can no longer find the two original install disks that it came with. So my question was whether or not its possible to go through the bootcamp process with the snow leopard install disk?

    Do you mean a "Retail OSX Snow Leopard Install DVD for USD 29" ?
    If so, then yes. use it.
    Sounds to me like the Original Install Discs you refer to are OSX 10.5 Leopard ones, right ?
    These won't work with Windows 7 since Windows 7 requires OSX Snow Leopard DVD at minimum for the Driver Installation and BootCamp Assistant version 3.x as well, which is also only avaiable in OSX Snow Leopard.

  • I cant find the recovery HD after erasing and reformatting my 2009 intel imac

    Hi All .
    Ive spent hours readng through many discussions on the subject but no avail in my problem.
    I have an old intel based 2009 iMac , I erased the hard drive through disk utility so I could restore to  factory settings.
    Then i couldnt find the hard drive or the recovey HD,
    I used the old iMac in target Mode on a newer 2011 27" iMac running 10.8.4 and can see the hard drive, so i verified and repaired disk from there.
    Then when i turned on the older imac it asked  for firmware password.
    no chance i could remember as its been a long time since i used.
    found a 15" ,Macbook Pro 10.6.3 installation disk and managed to get it to see it after holding the option key at startup .
    I noticed though the Macintosh HD and the recovery HD werent there and just the osx 10.6.3 nstallation disc.
    so i choose the disc and it gets me to the stage of installing when it goves the error "      Mac os X  cant be installed on this computer.
    gives me the option to restore from time machine backups but all are incompatible as are from different models.
    i can get to disk utility but cant do anything from there.
    How can i get the recovery hd to be shown again after startup and option key ????
    PLEASE HELP

    Hi, Where were you booted from to use Disk Utility? Sounds like it wasn't the Restore partition, & you erased the whole Drive instead of just the OSX partition!???
    You'll have to use the App Store, look for prchases, re-download 10.8 & install it in Target mode.

  • My company purchased CS5.5 this year. However, we missed the 5 August upgrade deadline for CS6.

    We were not inform of the deadline for download of compliementary upgrade to CS6. Any way to get the complimentary upgrade?
    I've talked to the Chat Support from Adobe. Apparently, he is not helpful at all.

    Erm, not helpful at all. We did a purchase in January 2012 with the distributor on the pretext that there will be upgrade from CS6. So, what we did is buy the upgrade from CS2 to CS5.
    After checking with support from Adobe from http://www.adobe.com/sea/support/contact/
    Singapore: 800 448 1642
    They are saying that I have to purchase from March and that the deadline to get free upgrade is on August.
    And the upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 web premium is not cheap either. Seems like we are stuck in CS5.5.

  • 10.6.3 disk won't mount on intel iMac

    I have an intel 3.06 GHZ Core 2 Duo iMac running 10.5.8. I purchased Snow Leopard family pack 10.6.3. I installed the disk but after about a minute it dismounts and gets ejected. Won't display on desktop. What's up?

    Or the disc itself could be damaged, possibly as a result of use in some other Mac with a dirty optical drive or contamination or scratches from handling it between uses. Look carefully at the surface of the disc for scratches or contaminants, which may be faint & hard to see.

  • Suggestions for external HD for scratch disk for PS6 on new 27" iMac

    Don't want to partition the internal 3TB Fusion drive I will have installed.  I will be installing 24GBs of RAM w/ the 3.$Ghz Core i7 chip.  Some PS files up to 3GBs. Need drives for backup and scratch, or just one larger drive that's partitioned?
    TIA

    The answer depends upon what you're looking for, speed, convenience, reliability, backups, etc.  I would suggest that you take a look at the article from Adobe on optimizing the performance of Photoshop and then make your decision as to just what configuration you will want.  That will drive your choice of storage.
    At the bottom of the article, under additional links, you will find a short concise blog entry from John Nack that is worth reading, too.

  • What's the best replacement hard drive for an early 2008 MacBook

    I asked this before, but I'm looking for the best bang for the buck on hard drives. Will a 7400 drain my battery faster? Is there a unit that is quiter than others?
    I've been told that the Western Digital blue series has comparability issues, are there other drives I should stay away from?

    First, there are no 7400 RPM drives. There are 5200 and 5400 RPM drives and 7200 RPM drives.
    A faster hard drive consumes slightly more power than a slower one, all other things being equal. So, yes, it will cause the battery to drain a little faster.
    Yes, there are some drives that are quieter than others, but this will differ even within the same make and model.
    WD Blue drives or "green" drives conserve power by throttleing the drive's speed. They tend to have compatibility issues with Macs.
    What drive is best for you depends a lot on what you want to do with the drive and what your storage needs are.

  • Does the first white intel imac support usb3 cable?

    Just wondering if a USB3 cable CF card reader will work on on my USB2 port on my old Intel 24" white iMac?

    USB3 is downward compatible with USB2.   So you can plug a USB3 cable into a USB2 socket.

  • How to turn off the 'Use disk for Time Machine?' warning

    I have Time Machine set to OFF.
    I use cloning software instead; "SuperDuper" with a "Voyager Q" unit attached via FW 800
    I rotate my external backups HDs using 2 x 3.5" HDs.
    How do I get rid of the annoying message; ‘Use disk for Time Machine?’ each time I attach an external HD?
    I have tried the solution at;
    http://www.macworld.com/article/133175/2008/04/105notmdrive.html
    but doesn't work for me.
    Mind you, the article was written for 10.5 and I was hoping the same solution would apply to 10.6.
    Anyone have an answer?
    Many thanks in advance,
    Michael.

    Think I just found the answer to my own question.
    External drive has to be mounted on the desktop BEFORE the following command is run.
    defaults write com.apple.TimeMachine DoNotOfferNewDisksForBackup -bool YES
    this assumes you've setup TM
    Now I don't see that annoying message.

  • I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install?

    I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install on my 24" Imac?

    As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
    Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
    I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.

  • How do I reinstall Lion if I get a new hard drive?  My mac came with Leopard and I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard

    My MacBook Pro originally came with Leopard.  I have the OS and Applications disks for Leopard but I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard.  I would like to perform a clean install of Lion on the new hard drive and restore some data from my Time Machine backup.  I am not looking to restore the current image to my new hard drive.  I have not yet removed the exisiting hard drive nor have I wiped my data.

    The only way to do that is to buy a New SL Retail DVD. Or you could buy the Lion Install USB thumb drive from Apple for $69.
    You must have SL installed to then install Lion or have a thumb drive with the Lion installer.
    You could also create a Lion USB Recovery thumb drive using Lion Disk Assistant. But you need to have Lion already installed and the Lion RecoveryHD Partition on your drive to make the Recovery thumb drive.

  • Star-up disk Full; cannot start my 2008 iMac w/ 500 GB hard drive

    Kept erasing empty files from my early 2008 Intel iMac(with 500 GB hard drive).  Kept getitng message 'Strt-up disk almost full.'
    Used Hard drive as start-up disk. Kept getting a file labeled (approx.) EFileS1...(didn't write it down). Tried once to totally erase
    this file: Removed Garage Band by moving to trash and securely erasing; and other files( 1-3 Mb at most. Now, get message "Start-up disk Full" and I can't
    log onwhen I enter name and PW, I get the screen saver; I don't get the dock or anything else. I tried to use a external hard drive, and I also tried using an external CD/DVD player (integrated one no longer works) to reload SnowLeopard (OS 10.6) with no response (I had upgraded to OS 10.6.8).
    I'm now using a Nov 2008 MacBook (burned out screen with external monitor) to write this email).
    I'm going to buy 2014 MacBook Pro 15in w/ retina display as my sole computer, but my iMac hard drive has documents I'd like to save-Then I plan to totally
    erase its HD before discarding/donating.
    All suggestions and help will be appreciated.

    If you can get the 2008 started move large libraries such as  your iPhoto, iMovie and iTunes libraries to an External HD. Once you have verified the libraries have been successfully moved then Trash the ones on the internal HD and empty the Trash. Once these operations have been done then use:
    iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
    iMovie: How to move the Library to an EHD
    iTunes: How to move the library to an EHD

  • Can't install software on disk for unkown reason?

    I'm trying to install QuickTime Broadcaster. When the installer gets to the "Select Destination" part, it shows my HD with an exclamation point in a red octagon, and I get the error message:
    You cannot install QuickTime Broadcaster 1.5.1 on this volume. You are not allowed to install the software on this disk for an unknown reason.
    Does anyone know how to fix this? I believe I meet the system requirements. I also just tried installing something else and didn't get this error message. I only get it with this QuickTime Broadcaster installer. I also repaired my permissions, but that didn't help.
    thanks
    iMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I don't know. It installed without any problem on my G4, 450 MP. I suggest booting with your Tiger install disk, enter your language, and, when the menu bar pops up, select Utilities->Disk Utility, repairing permissions and the disk. If it passes, then quit, Utilities->Startup Disk, select your HD, and restart. If it still won't install, then create a new admin user, log into that account, and try again. Still no go, reinstall the 10.4.8 COMBO update and try again. If still no go, do an Archive & Install installation.
