I need to know which install disk to buy for my mac serial number 17*****ZE4

Need to know which install disk to buy since I lost my original.
<Edited by Host>

You have an 24" Early 2008 iMac. It came with Mac OS X 10.5, and you would need the disk set for your specific model. It's possible that if you call Apple Support, they can still sell you a set, but that model of iMac is no longer supported by Apple so Support may not be able to help. If not, then you'll need to look to private sellers or companies that sell obsolete software.
You can also call the online Apple Store and purchase a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
Regards.

  • Don't know what install disks to buy for new computer

    I bought a computer from ebay with not install disks thinking I would buy those seperately. The computer I bought is a iMac G5 machine model PowerMac 8.2, Cpu PowePC GF (3.0). It currently has OS X 10.4.11 Installed. I do not have adminstrator rights and the only way I know to get them is to reinstall the OS. So, I tried to do so with disks I had on hand for mac OS X 4.8 but I got a message saying these were not the correct disks for the computer. The problem is I don't know which ones are to buy them. If someone could help with this, or any other ways of getting the administrator password for this computer I would certainly appreciate. it.

    Upgrade Tiger discs were not machine specific, so if you had Panther installed then you could upgrade to Tiger with a Tiger Upgrade disc. However, the Tiger Upgrade disc does not support Archive and Install or Erase and Install. They cannot be used to install Tiger on an erased drive. You must have Panther installed to use the upgrade disc. You would be much better off getting the Tiger retail package.
    I say again that you want to avoid purchasing any OEM disc that claims to be a "universal" Tiger installer as these are usually machine specific. The Tiger upgrade disc has a black label with a large gray "X" and the word "Upgrade" is on the label.

  • Can I use Dell install disk containing Windows for Bootcamp & Mac?

    The only Windows disk I have is what came on the Dell install disk with the Dell PC. Can I use this copy of Windows after I perform the BootCamp division? I have one small prgm (PC only) and need to figure out a cost effective way. Can I mess up BootCamp or the division easily? I've been warned that it can be tricky dividing up the hard drive. Is this true?

    Hi Donna,
    for PC-to-Mac switcher Apple provides a great tutorial with Switch101 http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/ and of course Mac101 http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
    I used both when I made the switch myself 3 years ago.
    Microsoft has a so-called runtime version of Access, which can be used if the complete Access program is not needed to run a Database file.
    Seems like the program you use comes with this runtime file, so you don't have to use/buy Office.
    Since VirtualBox is an OSX application and the installation of Windows is done inside VirtualBox, your OSX system/computer is in no danger, when you try it.
    But with all Windows computer, you might consider using a Anti-Virus program when running Windows, regardless whether you use the Internet with Windows or not.
    Just the fact that you are im-/export files from/to Windows computer can be harmful, if these files are infected.
    AVG has a good freeware AV-Scanner http://www.avg.de/us.product-avg-anti-virus-free-edition

  • Need to know which is better and faster for laptop memory upgrade

    What is the difference and which is better for a laptop memory upgrade:  SDRAM, DDR SDRAM, SIMM?  One site suggested DDR SDRAM and BB suggested SO DIMM

    SODIMM is the physical form factor of the module, DDR SDRAM is the actual memory type.
    SIMMs are an ANCIENT form of memory module.  If you have a system that uses SIMMS, you will spend less money throwing your computer in the trash and buying a new one.
    Non-DDR SDRAM is also ancient.
    Each system can only use one type of memory, i.e. you can't use DDR memory in a system that only used non-DDR memory, and you can't use DDR2 memory in a DDR system.
    To find out if the configuration is 2x256 or 1x512, you'll need to look at what is installed.

  • I need help from someone regarding what equipment to purchase. I need to know which is the right equipment for what i am trying to set up

    I am trying to setup sensors on container cranes at critical points on the cranes, monitoring voltage,vibration,strain,frequency etc. A control room 500m will be setup with labview to monitor the cranes.
    I am thinking of going WiFi and using PXI platform. Which equipment to buy is the question? Urgent Help required on making the selection. Strict Budget contraints to carry out the project!!

    Since it seems that time and money are of the essence, I suggest contacting a technical sales representative to discuss your application and product selection one-on-one. Tel: (888) 280-7645
    or click on "Call me now" on any product page. Good luck finding the right hardware.

  • Which install disk do I need and how do I purchase it?

    I bought this computer used and put a new hard drive in it. Now I need to know which install disk will work on it and where to obtain it from. Thanks!
    Linda

    Linda:
    Congratulations on your new computer. I concur with Niel that you should contact the person from whom you purchased the computer and ask about the install disk as well as the Apple Hardware Test Disk.
    If you are not successful in getting the seller to supply the disk(s) you have a couple of options:
    • You can call Call Apple Customer Service (1-800-767-2775) for original disks. Be sure that you have your computer Serial number handy. There is a service fee for this, about $60 the last I heard.
    • You second option is to purchase new install disks. Your computer shipped with Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.2 (8E45)). However, your computer easily meets the the technical specifications for Leopard, which you can purchase for about the same, or even less, than you would pay for Tiger. Leopard can be purchased at The Apple Store for $129. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but is still available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales 1-800-692-7753.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.

  • Need to know which upgrade to purchase

    I'm staggered that Adobe makes it this difficult to even get advice.
    I have been using Photoshop CS3 on a MacbookPro.  I recently upgraded (was upgraded!) to Mavericks.
    Now Photoshop CS3 no longer works (of course).
    I need to know which product to purchase as an upgrade that WILL work.  I can't find any sales number to call to ask, or any way to chat with sales personnel.  I find a forum to be an extraordinarily time-consuming way to ask what is probably the simplest question out there.

    You have 2 choices:
    Join the Creative Cloud (monthly subscription) and get the current release PS CC 2014.
    Creative Cloud pricing and membership plans | Adobe Creative Cloud
    Or, purchase the older PS CS6 (the last  suite Adobe sold outright). 
    Creative Suite 6
    Understand that if you purchase CS6, it will never get the updates that Creative Cloud users get.

  • Need a to know which dvd drive to buy

    Hi
    i want to replace my dvd drive.
    correctly i'm using: OPTIARC DVD RW AD-7170A (sony-nec).
    i have problems with that drive and i want to replace it to something better and that works.
    i need to know which one will b compatible to my system.
    thanks
    niv

    Take a close look at the flat cable. It iv very easy to cut or nick it when reinstalling the drive mounting bracket. With two drives, Option-Erect should open the lower drive. Make sure both power cables are securely connected to the drives. If you can't get it to work with two drives, try just the new drive to see if it works. Set it to CS (Cable Select) and use the end connector on the flat cable.

  • I need appleisightinstaller.exe to install the isight driver for Windows Vista running in Parallel Desktop 6 for Mac, but I don't have a Leopard DVD. What came with my Macbook Air was a flash stick "MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive" only.

    All,
    A very interesting NOTE to this thread. In order to try and get the "ignore permissions" box to show up in GET INFO (so I could execute Matt the Magician's solution to file sharing issues)-- I ran the terminal command for disabling ACLs on my internal HD / start up disk (as indicated in the linked thread to BDAqua's forum).
    Although I understand that this was useless for disabling permissions on the start up disk (as everyone here pointed out) and allowing me to see the "ignore permissions" check box - somehow it did seem to fix my file sharing problem...and that was the root problem I wanted solved in the first place! After doing the terminal command and a quick reboot, I went in and tested file sharing on the chosen directory and I can create new files or work from existing files in the directory, with both users being able to modify / and save from both machines and each machine sees the revisions and can build from them. Bottom line - I'm stoked and want to thank everyone for their help.
    The only other tweak I made was going over to my wife's machine and instead of using her log in / password, I just used my name and password to connect to my main machine that was sharing directories. Maybe that's what fixed the problem or the ACL disable but either way...I'm up and running the way I want to be.
    Hope this thread helps anyone else who has these file sharing / permissions issues with Leopard. Especially for anyone wanting to do such a simple file sharing set up between 2 computers. I wish I understood exactly which tweak fixed the problem, but at least it works the way I want now.
    So happy to be done w/this one!
    Thx everyone. Any additional input on what solved it is welcome, so my curiosity is quelled...
