I've lost my "coreservices/installer.app" - Mavericks - where can I get a download of it?

I haven't a clue as to why it isn't in the library/coreservices folder but it isn't
Therefore, when I try to install a .pkg it defaults to textedit !
Thanks,
BJ

System files do not just vanish, they require system privileges to remove.
The CoreServices Installer.app is not an independently downloadable component. You can get it back if:
You have a full system backup (e.g. Time Machine, etc.) and can retrieve Installer.app from there.
You know someone who is running your exact operating system version
Copy Installer.app to removeable media, and on your machine, put back in /System/Library/CoreServices
Run Disk Utility on your boot drive to verify/repair permissions.
Reinstall OS X on your machine

Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software.

Where can I get a downloadable copy of Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard? I have my original serial (key) number, but I lost my actual software. I am trying to move my Adobe to a new laptop.

Actually, you are out of luck if you are looking for Acrobat Standard. I have run into a problem because the link is for Adobe 9.0 Pro and the serial no. for Std. won't work. I asked Adobe customer (chat) service for a downloadable of the Standard and they said they don't have one. Did you get the Std. version as part of the preinstalled software on your computer? If so, it would be on the recovery media of your old laptop but I don't know how you would retrieve it from there. I am in the exact same boat as you are. Let me know if you find out how to get the media for the Standard by responding on this thread. Thanks.

Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed.

Lost CiscoWorks LMS 2.5 Software - Where can we get a copy?

We had an issue with our server and need to move to a new server, but we cannot find our software for 2.5 to install and then upgrade to 2.6. We have licenses and a maintainence contract with Cisco on the software, but we've gone through several channels with them and they keep telling us they can't find a copy of the software and suggest our only option is to pay them 10 grand to purchase a full version 3 license and software.
I would be willing to bet that Cisco has a software library with every version of every piece of software they've put out since the 80's. I'm not sure why it's so difficult to find us a copy of 6 or 7 year old software that we have a maintainence contract on.
If anyone from the Ciscoworks team sees this and can get us a copy, please let me know or tell me who our sales rep should contact to get a hold of the software. We would be willing to pay $50 or however much for the media if necessary.
If anyone else has any suggestions or can send us a copy of the software, we would be very appreciative.
Like I said, we have the license and a maintainence contract. We just need the install disk or files required to install.
Thanks!

We have a current smartnet contract, but that site does not show any available LMS downloads when we enter that contract. Will 2.51 work as a base install? or is that just an upgrade package? We need to install a base 2.5 version to upgrade to 2.6 which is where the old server was at. If there is a base version of 2.6 that you could provide, I believe that would work as well since we had the ability to upgrade to 2.6 with our license before.
Please also let me know how I can have our sales rep get in contact with you to get the software if it's what we need. Should we just give him your name? Thanks for your help!!
Edit: This is what we got from TAC, so I believe we need to get our hands on the 2.5 base version. Do you know how we could do that?
LMS 2.6 was published as an update applicable to LMS 2.5.1.
Note that LMS 2.5.1 was itself published as the December 2005 Update to LMS 2.5.
LMS 2.5.1 Update: http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/lms251
LMS 2.6 Update (scroll to the bottom of the page): http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/tablebuild.pl/lms26
So you'll need to install LMS 2.5 first and then upgrade to LMS 2.5.1 and then to LMS 2.6.

I had to reinstall a failed harddrive in a PowerBook G4 and lost all my apps. Where can I get Apple Works?

Allan:
It did not work on my SL Mac Mini and I am sure you will have the same results.
I need to find a quick and easy download PPC application for someone on this forum who is having problems in Snow Leopard and I want to rule out that it is PPC that is the problem. I had suggested he download Appleworks for this purpose; ooooops!
Can you think of a quick and dirty PPC app to download?
Yes, he has Rosetta installed...
I am almost positive that the problem is that his game was released in 2003 when OS X was 10.2.x and it just will NOT function in Snow Leopard without some patch or upgrade.
I am getting my hands on a copy of this game tomorrow, so I will go down that path for him, too!

I have updated my iPhone 3s to the latest software. I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available. Help!

I have updated my iPhone 3Gs to the latest software in an attempt to iron out a problem with a new telephone network provider (Tmobile). I had backed up my phone before I did this. Now I have lost my music and apps. I can't sync the phone with my Mac, I can't re-download from iTunes as the phone says I don't have any music or apps available to re-download although it all shows up on my Mac. The music and app content cannot be restored when I try to restore the phone from the back up I madeon my Mac. Help!

Working on that now. I'm just getting frustrated that everytime I run updates for the phone I end up with tech problems that I have to spend time solving as opposed to updates that actually improve my usage. Now I will once again get to spend hours reloading my phone all for updates that didn't affect my usage in the first place.

Seems like the iTunes app has lost most of my music. How can I get my music back?

A new version shouldn't do that but it does seem to happen on occasion to a few unlucky ones. Restore your library from the backup you make of your computer before you install new software. If you don't have one, this is a learning experience.
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

If it's not listed in Purchases, check that it's hidden, and if so, unhide it > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928 After that, go to Purchases and download OS X Server.
If you can't download it, contact with the Mac App Store support > http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/contact

I updated my IPhone 5C to iOS8 and lost all my calendar events. How can I get them back? I had it saved to the cloud but then changed it because I did not want to save everything to the cloud. I changed it back and still don't have any events.

Are they still listed on your device when you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Numbers? If so, they should still be in iCloud but you may need to contact support to find out why the Numbers app isn't able to access them: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

You can download everything you purchased from the iTunes Store without having to pay again:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Here is the procedure for your reference, using iTunes 10.7. The procedure and screenshots for newer versions are contained in the above link.
This assumes what you purchased is still available in the Store.
Open iTunes and click on iTunes Store on the left
On the right you will see this
Sign in with your Apple ID, then click on "Purchased" (with the orange blob)
On the summary page that appears select the tab "Not on This Computer" on the right.
On the list that appears, select what you want and then click the "Download" button.
