You can get replacement System Install & Restore CDs from Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 - for a nominal S&H fee. You'll need to have the model and/or serial number of your Mac available.
OR
You can get a copy of the retail OS 9.2.1 Install CD direct from the Apple Store, but only by telephone.
Make sure you check out all of the following links as prices vary for the OS 9.x cds.
Ask the vendors the color of the CD lable. All universal full install CDs are white w/an orange/golden 9.x on it.

Do NOT buy a gray installation CD - those are not universal installers but model-specific [NO matter what the seller says about them!] OEM-versions have caused problems in the past when used on other computer models.

Is there a way to remove your sim card if you don't have the tool that came with your phone?

Is there a way to remove your sim card if you don't have the tool that came with your phone? I wanted to see if I could upload my old information to the iCloud, by putting the new sim card into the old phone, since I didn't before I updated my new phone.

Any metal clip will do. Insert the tip in the little hole next to the Sim Card and press FIRMLY. The SIM drawer will pop out.

I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer. Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook?

I want to install a new hard drive on my 2008 MacBook but do not have the instillation discs that came with my computer. Can I use instillation discs from a 2009 or 2010 MacBook? The hard drive I am planning to install is a WD Scorpio Black 500GB SATA 2.5'' internal hard drive.

Sometimes they do work - i've done it before. I have a late 2008 Macbook Uni and used the install dvd of my 2009 Macbook White and it worked.
Why not just clone your hard drive? It'll save you a lot of time doing a clone rather than doing a clean install.
Unless you're having issues with your old set up or your old hard drive is dead.
You can download Carbon Copy Cloner - install your new hard drive in a external usb enclosure (around $10) and clone fromt here then test it before you install it in your Macbook.
Once you've done the swap, you can install your old hard drive in the USB enclosure and use it as a backup drive.
Good luck

I have a roboteq hdc 2450 and want connect to labview but have no idea how to do so. I have the drivers that came with it will it work to interface with labview?

I have a roboteq hdc 2450 and want connect to labview but have no idea how to do so. I have the drivers that came with it will it work to interface with labview?

You can create your control code in LabVIEW and then use a Call Library Function Node to communicate with your roboteq DLL. The first thing to do though, is check to see if Roboteq offers LabVIEW drivers.
Using LabVIEW: 7.1.1, 8.5.1 & 2013

Okay, look under Purchases:

The hard drive on my Mac Book Pro failed last week. I just put a new Samsung SSD in this thing and had to load the Snow Leopard OS that came with the computer. I had Mt. Lion on the old drive that I had purchased last year but no boot disc made. I have made several attempts to get the Mt lion soft ware on the computer but the Apple store does not have it only mavericks but my Snow Leopard version is too old for it so I cant get it either. How do I get something to run the software that I had on the old drive?

Unfortunately I lost my life and am trying to rebuild. Isn't the technical era great.
Backup, backup, backup
As a minimum, use 3-2-1 (or even more)
3 copies of your data (original copy counts as 1)
2 different backup utilities/storage formats (protects from bugs in the software)
1 copy off-site (protects against theft, fire, and natural disaster)
More backup copies are even better.
Backup disks are cheap compared to the lost of personal data that does not exist anywhere else.

I had to delete everything on my computer and install the operating system again , but I had to install Snow Leopard because it was the cd that came with the computer when I bought it. The problem is that I had already paid for the OS Lion and even had upgraded to the Mavericks . I do not think it's fair to have to pay again and I would like to upgrade my operating system without having to pay again for the same system.

Hi anatuta,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are trying to upgrade your Mac to a newer version of OS X, after completing a fresh install of Snow Leopard.
If you have already purchased and downloaded OS X Lion and Mavericks, you should be able to find these items in the Purchased section of the Mac App Store.
You may find the steps in this article helpful with finding the items:
Mac App Store: Finding your purchased apps - Apple Support
If you do not see the items in the Purchased section, they may be hidden:

All the best,
Jeremy

Have the Mini's Serial# handy & call Apple Care, they usually have original replacement Discs available.

If I do a full system restore on my MBP will i get ilife off of the boot disks that came with the computer?

If I do a full system restore on my MBP will i get ilife off of the boot disks that came with the computer.
Hi on my MBP i am going to restore it.
It came with iLife will this be on the boot disks?
Thanks

If your computer shipped with Snow Leopard, that means it shipped with two disks: an Install disk that contains the OS, and an applications disk that contains the iLife suite. You would use the applications disk to reinstall iLife.

When try to view a movie with a external reader it makes a weird noise at time and other times works fine I think I read somewhere theat you can only use thereader that came with your computer

When I put a movie DVD in my external reader it makes a strange noise and at times it gets hung up I have to force quit it and then I can eject the dvd
I believe I read some wherre that you can only use the reader that came with my computer

That sounds like the drive is faulty. CD and DVD will have seperate heads, and burn and read will be different lasers in each. If it's still in warranty I'd exchange it.

I recently changed my MacBook Pro password, and now I don't remember it. Is there anyway to gain access to my mac without reinstalling or deleting everything that's on it? I don't have the disk that came with it either.

Hi. I recently changed my MacBook Pro password, and now I don't recall what it is. My hope is that I can somehow gain access without deleting everything currently on it. I do not have the MAC disk that it came with. Is there something I can do myself? Should I take it to the MAC store? Thanks in advance for your help.

It helps with this kind of question to state which system version you are using on the computer as the answer will vary.
Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274 - resetting password on regular and administrator accounts if you have the installer disc (OSX 10.1-10.6.8) or AppleID (OSX 10.7-10.8) [Of course Apple has changed this document since I asaved the link so it is no longer useful for newer system versions. ]

Will iLife be deleted when I erase my hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard and the Applications with the disks that came with the computer?

I plan to restore my computer to factory settings to have a fresh start but i dont know if all the ilife applications will still be there (imovie, iphoto, etc). Or is the ilife applications included in the Applications Install DVD?

Yes, they are, unless you have a machine which shipped with Mac OS X Server, in which case you wouldn't have them to begin with.

I accidentally uninstalled the audio program that came with the computer many years ago. Now I have no sound at all on the computer and can't get it back without a CD apparently - but I have none.

Can I reinstall an audio program that I accidentally removed? Does Firefox have an audio program I can use instead?

VLC is a great, Free, player -> http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
But changes are if you have no sound, you did more than uninstall a player, you uninstalled the driver....

I have a copy of Adobe Acrobat 8 standard that came with my computer a few years back.I just bought a new XI standard copy and installed it on my laptop.

I cant install my old copy on my desktop, because I tried too many installations
Now I want to install it on the desktop

Hi, I have Apple earbuds that came with my iPod years ago, since then they've ya know, taken some hits, but they still work. The problem is the left isn't as loud as the other and it sounds really odd. Can I get them replaced at the Apple Store?

As said in the question, the left isn't as loud or harmonic as the other, can I replace them at the Apple Store? Hopefully for free?

The headphones have the same one-year warranty as the rest of the hardware. But it still can't hurt to ask an Apple store agent about replacements. Realistically, though, you'll probably just ahve to buy a new pair.

I dont have da cd that came with da computer....
