I have a A1312 computer but not original install discs. Where can I get replacements

I have an A1312 Mac and I want to install a solid state hard drive. But I do not have the original install discs. My OSX10.9.2

You can boot that computer using the retail copy of Snow Leopard:
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8.
Replacement DVDs usually cost about $50.00. This is a little cheaper. Maybe you can tell us exactly what your final goal is? For example, after you install the SSD what do you plan to do with the HDD? Do you have an external drive enclosure in which you could put your HDD to use while getting the new SSD set up? Or, do you plan to get an OWC DataDoubler in order to put your HDD in the space occupied by your optical drive?

  • I was updating my software on my iphone 4 and it crashed so it recovered it and i restored it from its back up. However I have lost all my music and my apps but not my pictures. How can i get my music back and apps back?

    Media and apps are not part of the backup. They need to be re-synced from your itunes library or re-downloaded from the store.

    I did try to uninstall and reinstall.  It messed up my computer.  I had to "RESTORE" from the prior days backup.  This was not helpful at all.  I'm used to losing all my stuff when I connect to iTunes, that's a whole other issue, but now I'm completely banned from any updates to my phone at all.  Geeze.......

  • I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my Mac computer and still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help?

    I've twice tried to use iTunes match. It stalls in step 2. I've rebooted my iMac computer and it still stalls. Apple's taken the $25 but not delivered the service. Can I get some personal help? There are 12,733 songs, a few dozen of which are not going to be in the Apple music library because they are unique to my collection. Also, some titled "Track XX" and no artist. I assume these would either not upload or else just be uploaded. But, after an overnight of step 2, the iTunes match program was still on song number 7384 or 12733 (it was on that number for over 12 hours). Looking in the music library, activating the iCloud icon and status fields, there were hundreds of songs with the status "waiting."

    After taking my late 2009 15 inch macbook pro to the apple store, the genius completely erased my computer and reinstalled the Mac OS X software, but the problem still persists. 
    I also took it to my college tech support center, they tried to take the ram out and reinsert it and clean up the dust, but the problem still remains.
    I am able to use my computer in Safeboot mode (only)
    Well it could still be a software problem if you installed a third party program after the OS X wipe and install, because by booting into Safe Mode it disables certain functions of OS X and hardware. Check for updates or problems for all your third party software, include everything, including menulets, System Preference panes, hacks and so forth.
    If you restored any sort of software from backup like TimeMachine, it likely was corrupted data and now is returned.
    If the college tech support found a lot of dust clogging the rear exhaust vents behind the fans, then likely the heat damage done to the machine has already occured and can't be reversed. Video cards are usually first to go, which Safe Mode does disable the video card somewhat.
    Run through this list of fixes, it's systematic in nature, also has a Hardware Test to see what's going on

    Too bad this is occurring to a mere 4 year old machine, but dust will do that. Here is the culprit that Apple doesn't tell anyone about.

  • HT204266 25 apps on my wife's phone need updating and now it "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" only when i try to update them for her.  I can access the iTunes store for all other options but not to update.  How can I get her updated?

    Try quitting the App Store:
    Tap the home button to get to the home screen. Then double tap the home button, and hold your finger over the App Store icon. Tap the red when it appears. Tap the home button again to return to the home screen.
    Try resetting:
    Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

    Call Apple and give them your serial number and they will send you the disks for a nominal charge.

  • I have a broken touchscreen on my P845t-S4310. Where can I get parts?

    The online source I found was the display. It didn't include the touchscreen part. Where can I get the part?

    1. Connect an external monitor. If everything else is working fine on the MacBook, you'll have full access to your computer. Or
    2. If the MacBook has a FireWire port, use Target Disk Mode (http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT1661) to mount the HDD and then copy the files to the second Mac. Or
    3. Remove the HDD, put it in a $20 USB caddy, and connect it to another Mac for file-retrieval.
    By the way, this forum is devoted to vintage Classic operating systems that Apple retired over a decade ago. More people will see your posts if you put them in a forum devoted to your particular level of OS X (Leopard or above for a 2008 MacBook).

  • TS3649 my mac (2012) did not come with idvd.where can i get this program for download?

    My iMac os lion 10.7.2 (2012) did not come with idvd program. Where can I get this program for download?

    Hi
    If there is no iDVD on Your Mac (and it's not on newer Macs as Apple discarded it) then You need a program that can do this.
    Your Mac can burn CDs and DVDs - BUT DVD as Data-DVDs not as Video-DVDs - they need a program to be encoded and STRUCTURED as such.
    • iDVD is part of the boxed version of iLife'11 and can only be bought outside Apple as on Amazon and e-bay
    • DVD Studio pro - Part of FinalCut Studio Pro bundle - this to has expired and can only be bought second handed. (High price and tough learning Curve - but best ever done.)
    • Roxio Toast™ - Not as elegant as iDVD - but has many other positive additions (I like it as 10-Pro incl BD-component) (now version 11)
    • Burn - a free alternative I know of on internet. Very simple - Just for doing a plain Video-DVD
    Burn http://www.digital-digest.com/software/Burn.html
    • Free DVD Creator.app - free from Apple Store
    • FinalCut Pro-X which also can burn to DVD but without any nice themes.

    You can also buy Compressor from Apple for $50 US. It will also create DVD and BluRay but without the nice themes.

  • Loopt advertised but not available in Dutch store; can you get it?

    Is there a way to get Loopt from the Dutch iTunes Store?
    On the Dutch iPhone site it is advertised (in Dutch) and it even contains a link, which makes iTunes say you can't get it in the Dutch Sote.

    We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Saudi store, but unless the developers agree to it (and if there aren't any Saudi law preventing it) then Apple won't be able to add it : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
    You could also try contacting the developers directly and see if they have any plans to add it to the Saudi store (or if there are any Saudi laws stopping them).

  • Lost disk for Acrobat 8, have upgrade serial number, but not original media or older version serial number

    I'm changing computers, and am trying to install Acrobat 8 Standard onto the new one. I have the files for the upgrade, and the serial number, but it asks for the original media or serial number for the version upgraded from, and we don't have that - we've lost the disks and the serial number.
    The dialog box which pops up during installation says "Enter the response code provided by Adobe Customer Service for the number: XXXXXX" (There's an actual number, but that should be saved for a private discussion.)
    Every attempt to contact Adobe runs into a brick wall. How do I recover the serial number for a purchase made 4 years (or more) ago?

  • LR Photo Import from Camera suddenly not working (5.7.1) - States "Some import operations were not imported becuase they could not be read."  Works on another computer and 4.3 version of LR on same computer but not newly installed LR 5.7.1 cc 2014.

    As above, all of a sudden, on one computer I cannot download from either the Canon 50D or 70D into LR 5.7.1.  It will download on another computer as well as on this computer in an older version of LR (4.3).  When I first turned on the computer this morning, I also got an error message that "The Lightroom catalog named 'Lightroom 5 Catalog" cannot be opened because another application already has it opened."  It was a cold boot, so I am not sure what is happening. 

    For the second problem being that the catalog is open in another application, go to the folder containing your catalog. You will find a file with the .lock extension. This is a file created by the catalog, and is automatically deleted when the catalog closes normally. Sometimes it can get left behind. You need to delete that file.
    When Lightroom says that the file cannot be read, it usually means that it cannot be written to the chosen destination. This tends to be a permissions problem in your operating system. Check to make sure you have write permission for the folder you are trying to import your images to.

  • E-mail (Outlook) syncs to iMac and iPad, but not to iPhone. How can I get it to sync to all three devices?

    My e-mail (Outlook) syncs to my iMac and my iPad.  However, I can read e-mails on my new iPhone, respond to them, and even erase them, but when I go to my computer or iPad afterwards, they still appear unopened and I have to open each one and close it again so it doesn't show up as an unread e-mail.  This does not happen with the iMac and iPad; deleting it on one of those deletes it on the other as well.  What am I doing wrong?

    I asked the hosts to relocate your question to the Using iPhone Forum. You should get helped there.
