I have I new HD and need to install

Hi,
Well I have too many problems with my HD. Now l going to the apple store to buy a new one.
Can anyone show me a step by step how to install the HD and install the Mac os X 10.3.5
l just want to make sure i will not miss any important step. ( LIKE TO IT 100% RIGHT )
Thanks you guys

Hi,
Well l did replace the HD but l'm not sure if i did it right. I'll explain what l did.
I did follow this tutorial
http://www.apple.com/support/manuals/imac/
On this page i did follow the Manual on the link below
iMac G5 17-inch Hard Drive Replacement Instructions (Do It Yourself Manual)
On the pdf doc l followed till page 8.
But there was 3 cables to be disconnected. On my new HD l had only 2.
What l did was,
I did remove the three hard drive screws that was fixing a support around the old hard drive, l took this support and replace around my new HD. On this piece was the last cable connector. You can see a clear picture of the support on the manual, page 8. ( the manual doesn't say anything about it )
On the Installation....
On the manual to replace a New hard-drive , l just found instructions to instal the Mac Os X on a HD that have already a old version of mac os.
What i did was:
i did insert the first Mac os disc and l follow the instructions.
when was time to show the destination i could not choose my new hard drive because it has a signal ( ! ) on the hard drive, and i got the message saying:
The Hd is not ready ( or something say that )
Than i open the disk utility.
I choose erase tap, i did select the HD .
on volume format, l choose Mac Os Extended
I did give a name.
then l click on erase.
It gave me a new HD icon under my new HD ( just like it was before )
Then I did restart the computer with the first Mac os disc and l follow the instructions.
This time did work and the computer seen ok.
Was that right or i have to do it again?
Thanks you all to help me.

  • I have a new computer and need to install Creative Suite 5

    I have downloaded the files with no problem.  I can start the install, enter the serial number, log in with my Adobe ID -- and when it gets to approx. 10% -- the installation stops and asks for a disk with this message.  Please insert disk Adobe Design Premium 5 - English to continue.  I don't have media, just the downloaded files.  I have restarted my computer -- logged into my Adobe account and confirmed the serial number, downloaded the files again and started over.  But it hangs up at exactly the same spot each time.  What suggestions do you have on how i need to proceed? 

    Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, CS5 Premium -- I downloaded the entire Suite.

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch.  I get a message that says "All existing apps and data will be replaced."  Does this mean progress in the games will be lost?

    I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch.  I get a message telling me that all existing apps and their data will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library.  Does that mean I lose all game progress?

    Yes.
    What you need to do is Transfer the iTunes Library from your Old computer to your New computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

    If you have the old PC, transfer the library from it. If not, see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • I downloaded Elements 11 to my laptop about 3 years ago and now purchased a new computer and need to install it.  How do I install Elements without purchasing it again?

    I downloaded Elements 11 to my laptop about 3 years ago and now purchased a new computer and need to install it.  How do I install Elements without purchasing it again?

    I have Elements pulled up on my old computer, can I find it in the program?
    No but if your old computer runs Windows then you can use the free Belarc Advisor software to extract the serial number from inside the computer.
    Belarc Advisor - Free Personal PC Audit, for software, hardware and security configuration information on your computer.…
    Tip for future reference: when buying software, always keep your serial numbers safe and handy. Don't rely on websites, the Cloud or anyone else to retrieve them for you when you need them most. They are the single most important thing you get when you buy software and they are unique to you personally.
    You can download software installers from the web any time but, without your unique serial number, you'll be stuck with using the software in trial mode.

Please help me install these two products; I prefer stand-alone, rather than a monthly fee. Thank you

  • I have a new laptop and want to instal photoshop elemets2.0.It will not start to instal. Why?

    I have a new latop, and want to instal an old version of Photoshop elements 2.0 that I have. It will not start the instal process. Why?

    It is probably because the software is too old to install/use on your new machine.  Look at the files on the disk and see if there are any there that you might try to use to initiate installation.

    Installing iTunes on a computer does not magically install/move media or preferences to the new computer.
    Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

  • I have a new laptop and need to sync my itune library with it ... how do i do this ?

    I have not backed up my itune library from previous laptop and have a new laptop. Got a new iphone which has all my music but since i bought a new laptop and want to sync my music on iphone with my new lapotp... how do I do this ?

    the proper way is to transfer your itunes library from the old laptop and resync your iPhone to the new computer.
    It will erase the iPhone and load it again from the new laptop.
    If you do not have access to your old laptop and the iTunes library...
    well there are ways of getting things off iPhone but you need to google for third party software to do it.

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
