I need to reinstall the system software on my older iMac. I have lost the system disks, though... so now what? It had 10.4.

I need to reinstall the system software on my older iMac. I have lost the system disks, though... so now what? It had 10.4. We moved, and I have looked everywhere. Am I doomed to find a way to buy it? Can taking it into the Apple Store fix it? Will it be expensive THERE? I've already saved all of the files I want off of it.... I just need it to work now.

You've lost me on why you need to reinstall Tiger, when you already have all the files you wanted (which means Tiger worked perfectly fine). If you want to upgrade to Leopard, that's a different issue: your Mac needs to meet the minimum system requirements for that, which you can easily determine.
If you just want to get a replacement set of Tiger install discs, you can try calling AppleCare and see if they're able to send you a replacement set, and if not, you'll have to buy a new set yourself. You can get them on eBay, Craigslist, and HardCore Mac (http://store.yahoo.com/hardcoremac/), although they sell it for ridiculous prices.

Can I use a mac pro operating system disk to upgrade a macbook

I need to upgrade my 10.5.8 system to 10.6 before I can upgrade to Lion. I have a mac pro operating system disk for 10.6 can I use this?

No. The gray-colored restore DVDs provided with a Mac are not the retail OS version. They contain only the drivers applicable for the purchased hardware, and the installer has a function to verify the hardware is of the type the disk was created for. If you attempt to use the Mac Pro restore disk on a different model Mac, it will simply refuse to install.

Do i need any of the operating system disks if I clean install?

My MAcbook pro is getting serously slow esp on the internet. So from what I understand the best method is a clean install.
However I do not have any of the previous operating system disks like Snow leopard and Lion. I am currently using Mavericks.
My worry is that the computer will go back to it's original operating system (i think Tiger), and I will not be able to update to MAvericks because I don't have any of the operatings disks before that.
Or maybe I don't need them? I have backed up everytjing on my computer and used time machine as a back up.
Thanks in advance,
L

Did you do an Over the Top install? That is where you reinstall right over OS X that is already on your system.
If you did and it ran fine for a day or so I suspect you are having some hard drive troubles. With an over the top install that replaces system files, OS X files, and makes them fresh. But if after a short while the system starts to run poorly again that comes from some corruption of those files. That only happens when there is drive problems.
If after doing a real clean install, first erasing everything off your system with Disk Utility, you still are having slow downs first thing I'd do is check out the drive for errors and personally I'd replace the drive.

Original Operating System Disks and Restore CD's

Trying to determine and locate the proper operating system and restore disks for an ibook G3 800mhz 12" Don't want to waste money on the wrong disks. Can any one identify the part number on the original os disks and the restore Cd's?
Thanks in advance for the replies. This forum has helped alot if the short time I have been a Mac user. I wish I jumped sooner. Two Macs at home now and counting. This laptop is so good I cannot wait to upgrade to something even newer!

If you try to obtain them anywhere except from Apple (the best option, probably), keep in mind that there were two different versions of the 800 MHz G3 iBook. The first version has a Combo drive (reads DVD's; reads and writes CD's). The second has a CD-ROM drive (reads CD's only). The second version will not be able to use the system discs for the first.
In order to avoid this confusion, contacting Apple to see if you can get the discs directly from them is likely the best option.
Good luck.

Operating system disk help

My iMac came with the operating system already installed. Is it possible to order the disk online as well?

If your iMac came with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, it would have come with the disks. Examine the items that came in the package and you should find them. If you no longer have the disks, having accidentally thrown them away, call Apple support and they can sell you a new set for a reasonable fee.
If your iMac came with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion or later, then Apple no longer supplies the disks. Instead they included the base files on a recovery partition, or you can use Internet recovery. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718

Blinking question mark/lost operating system

My imac G3 333MHz was running on OS9.2 which was installed by an Apple store, I do not have a disk for it since it was installed in the store after I was told that I was sold the wrong memory and that OSX really shouldn't run on the machine. So to make up for the mistake they took out OSX and did a clean install of 9.2. Now (months later) the flashing question mark appeared when I started up the computer. The only way I could get the computer to work at all was to start it up from the original OS 8.6 disk that came with it. Is there any way that I can get back to 9.2 or do I have to try to purchase the disk for the old operating system? It seems like most of the folders for it are still on the Hard Drive, but no matter what I tried I can't get it to start up from them.
imac G3 333MHz Mac OS 8.6 or Earlier

I'd be a bit annoyed at the apple store who did this for you. OS X works fine on that model iMac, up through 10.3. So if you ahd that installed, it was fine. i don't know what the memory issue was they were reffering to. I don't know how you can be sold the wrong memory if it fit and worked, and what bearing that had on OS X.
To reinstall 9.2, you would have to buy it. No way around it.
But there's a deeper problem potentially. Often times when the OS just goes MIA like this, the problem is directory damage. Run disk first aid fromt he 8.6 disk. Does it return any errors that it can't fix. If so, more often than not, this is a corrupt directory. This could be solved by reformatting (erasing everything), or using third party utilities like diskwarrior. if you use a third party utility, it can often bring the whole thing back to life with no further problems.
Note that if you do have directory problems, reinstalling the OS without fixing those problems will only make it worse.

How/where can I get an operating system disk for 2007mid iMac that I installed new hard drive on

I installed a new hard drive in my iMac 2007mid .Adventurous..
I am told I need the operating system now. I am behind a few upgrades due to needing the new hard drive..
suggestions please?

You can install from any full/retail installer DVD. If you have no discs, then you can purchase replacement discs from Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes
international calling numbers..
You can also purchase a retail Snow Leopard DVD:
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 and give you access to the App Store.

No Lion Operating System Disk(s) with my new MacBook Pro?

Hi, Just bought my wife a new MacBook Pro yesterday. We are probably old school but we were both surprised to NOT find Lion OS disks in the box.
We called the Apple Store where we made the purchase and they told us they were not currently shipping Lion OS disks with new systems???
How can obtain OS disk(s) for Lion and her new MacBook Pro?
Optional purchase? A website for a download? Anyone else run into this situation?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Jim

Hi luke: Yes I know how you feel. I felt thesame way when those forst imacs came out with no floppy disk drives and with a read-only optical one. But now you can't find floppies anywhere xo life goes on.
In any case you can, at least, make your own recovery disk. I did it and it works just fine. Here's a set of directions that I followed that I copied from some poster (sorry but I lost the originator so can't give him credit).
          •.          Purchase and download Lion from the Mac App Store on any Lion compatible Mac running Snow Leopard.
          •.          Right click on “Mac OS X Lion” installer and choose the option to “Show Package Contents.”
          •.          Inside the Contents folder that appears you will find a SharedSupport folder and inside the SharedSupport folder you will find the “InstallESD.dmg.” This is the Lion boot disc image we have all been waiting for.
          •.          Copy “InstallESD.dmg” to another folder like the Desktop.
          •.          Launch Disk Utility and click the burn button.
          •.          Select the copied “InstallESD.dmg” as the image to burn, insert a standard sized 4.7 GB DVD, and wait for your new Lion Boot Disc to come out toasty hot.
It is important that you burn your Lion boot disc or backup the Lion installer prior to installing Lion itself. If left in the Applications folder the installer will be removed after the Lion installation is completed. If you are reading this article after upgrading to Lion all is not lost. A fresh copy of the Lion installer can always be redownloaded from the Mac App Store by clicking on the Purchased tab with the Option key held down.
With the Lion boot disc you can boot any Lion compatible Mac, and install 10.7 just like you installed previous versions of Mac OS X. You can even use Disk Utility's Restore function to image your Lion boot disc image onto a external drive suitable for performing a clean install on a optical-drive-less MacBook Air, or Mac mini. Clean installs with Lion are easy once you find where Apple has hidden the boot disk.
Hope this is useful to you.

Ordering OEM Operating System Disk

I am a pc tech currently working on a Compaq Presario SR1303WM desktop pc. Somehow the drive letter of the hard drive was changed, and I am having a devil of a time repairing the problem, because she wants all of her scrapbooking programs restored to working order, but the company that made them went out of business years ago.
In order to repair her OS file structure, I need a copy of the original OS that came with the system, and according to HP Support, an option to order the original disks should have been listed on the Support / Drivers page, and it isn't. All I am being told is that the pc's warranty status has expired, which I already knew, and there is apparently no phone number to call HP Support with.
Her programs have to have an XP file structure to operate; I tried Windows 7, and her programs screamed error messages. Now I could purchase an OEM HP Windows XP SP2 disk off of ebay, but I do not know if that would work as well as one ordered from HP themselves, tailored to this particular system.
Is there anyone out there that can offer any assistance or advice? I have used nearly every method I know of to try to repair her pc, and I am not making much headway. Thanks!

Hi: HP would not have XP recovery disks anymore. You can still order them from this non HP vendor. http://www.computersurgeons.com/p-11252-recovery-kit-5069-8795-for-compaq-model-number-sr1303wm.aspx You do realize that by using these recovery disks, the entire hard drive will be re-partitioned and reformatted, and all files and programs currently that are on the hard drive will be erased, correct?

I lost operating system have I garanty?

I try to install Snow leopard in my macbook pro 2011, and I formatted the HD, dont't have recovery and nothing, still I have apple garanty, what can I do?

Yes, but not if you purposely reformatted your drive in order to install Snow Leopard. However, if the reinstallation procedures I just posted don't work for you, then you should be able to get help from your local Apple retailer.
You cannot install a retail version of Snow Leopard on a Mac that shipped with Lion pre-installed. And, if you need to run Snow Leopard on it you should create a separate partition for Snow Leopard so you keep the Lion system. Below is the whole procedure.
How To Run Snow Leopard On A New Mac
This does not apply to new Mac Minis or MacBook Airs. When newer models are introduced that also require Lion for hardware support, the techniques described below will no longer work with the possible exception of using Parallels 7.
What has to be done:
Create a new partition on the hard drive.
Get a clone of a 10.6.8 Snow Leopard system. Put the cloned Snow Leopard system onto the new partition.
Step One: Create a new partition on the hard drive
To resize the drive and create a new partition do the following:
1.           Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
          After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2.           You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3.           In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4.           Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Step Two: Obtain a clone of a Snow Leopard system:
You will need access to a Mac already running Snow Leopard. You will need a 16 GB USB flash drive or an external hard drive to which you can clone the Snow Leopard system from the Mac that has Snow Leopard installed. Alternatives are:
Option One:
Install a new Snow Leopard system onto a USB flash drive. Boot the Mac used for installing with the USB flash drive. Update the flash drive system to 10.6.8 using the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard. Verify that you can boot the Mac with the USB flash drive.
Take the USB flash drive to your new Mac and try booting from it. If it works then clone the system from the flash drive to the newly made partition:
          Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
          Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the USB flash drive.
Option Two:
If you have a large enough external drive you can erase and use, then it would be easier to just clone the entire Snow Leopard system from the source Mac computer to the external drive.
          Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
          Destination means the external drive. Source means the Snow Leopard Mac's internal drive.
After cloning verify that it will boot the source Mac. If so then take the external drive to your new Mac boot with it. If all is well then restore the clone to the new partition on your new Mac:
          Restore the clone using Disk Utility
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
          Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the external drive.
If the above seems too daunting then you might consider running Snow Leopard inside an emulator such as Parallels 7. You are permitted to install a single copy of Snow Leopard inside a virtual machine. You will need to first purchase a copy of Parallels 7 and install it on your new Mac. Create a new virtual machine configured for Mac OS X. You may then install Snow Leopard in the virtual machine then download Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 and update to 10.6.8. Be sure to include Rosetta in your initial Snow Leopard installation. Rosetta is not installed by default rather it's an optional install.

Lost system disk

I would like any help in the situation bellow:
I've lost the system disk(Win2K), there was a database(8.1.6) installed and I've lost the parameter file. Now I reinstalled Win2K, Oracle 8.16 and I have 1 copy of the control file, 1 copy of each redolog file and of each datafile. The database wasn't in the default path and I don't remember the letter of the drive in which the datafiles were. If I recreate the parameter file pointing to the actual location of the control file, I think the controlfile will point to a unknown path to try to open the redos and datafiles. Can I read the controlfile contents, so I can change the drive assigned letter?
What else should I do?

CREATE CONTROLFILE
Caution:
Oracle recommends that you perform a full backup of all files in the database before using this statement. For more information, see Oracle9i User-Managed Backup and Recovery Guide.
Purpose
Use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement to re-create a control file in one of the following cases:
All copies of your existing control files have been lost through media failure.
You want to change the name of the database.
You want to change the maximum number of redo log file groups, redo log file members, archived redo log files, datafiles, or instances that can concurrently have the database mounted and open.
Note:
If it is necessary to use the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement, do not include in the DATAFILE clause any datafiles in temporary or read-only tablespaces. You can add these types of files to the database later.
An alternative to the CREATE CONTROLFILE statement is ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, which generates a SQL script in the trace file to re-create the controlfile. If your database contains any read-only or temporary tablespaces, that SQL script will also contain all the necessary SQL statements to add those files back into the database.
Example
Creating a Controlfile: Example
This statement re-creates a control file. In this statement, database demo was created with the WE8DEC character set. The example uses the word path where you would normally insert the path on your system to the appropriate Oracle directories.
