I've lost my OS X installation DVD's and I need to re-format....???

As the title says... I seem to have miss placed my OS X installation DVD's and my system is really messed (after uninstalling Safari Beta 3.0). How do I go about re-installing OS X?

You might try calling Apple. I have no idea for sure, but they may send you replacement disks (for a nominal fee) if you're still under warranty.

I lost my ipod touch today at the arena and i need to know how to find it ! thanks

Keep looking.
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

Quicksilver G4 | no dvd drive and I need to upgrade OS?

Okay, I hope no one is too harsh with me - I'm not real bright. Did Panther get released on cd-rom? I can only find it online with dvd install disks???
Should I get a dvd drive for this dinosaur and jump straight to Tiger or even waste the time trying to find panther on cd?
Main reason is that nothing is working with with Jaguar now - I bought a harddisk video cam - needs newer OS, iPod mini needs newer OS.
I should probably get a newer mac - but I'm trying to conserve the cash.
thanks in advance for humoring me.
Quick Silver G4 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Hi mattbequiet! And Welcome To Discussions!
Some additional information for you.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
Panther, is no longer available directly from the Apple Online Store, as Tiger 10.4.x is the most up to date OS.
A Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version of the Tiger Install DVD, can be purchased rather inexpensively, at some online Apple retailers, Amazon, eBay, AppleRescue, etc.
Be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
More info here Tip: Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the System Requirements for Tiger, you could also consider installing that.
And then use the 10.4.7 Combo Update.
You'll find System Requirements in these links:
Panther
Tiger
Additionally,
"Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media. When you buy Mac OS X Tiger, you qualify to purchase Tiger CDs for only $9.95."
Download The order Form Here. Media Exchange Program
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documention, And Good Luck!

Lost Installation DVD

Hello everybody.
As the title reads i have most probably lost my Tiger OSX installation DVD that came with my macbook i bought in july....i need it to install X11 and to be able to reinstall the system in case anything goes wrong...
Is there any way to obtain a new copy other than buying a new one?
I heard that the copies that come with intel procs machines are bound to the machine...is that true?
Thanks!

You can order a new one from AppleCare (1-800-275-2273.)
Yes, the installer discs that came with the computer are specific to that model. There will not be a universal OS X installer for both Intel and PPC Macs until the release of Leopard. Currently there is no "retail" version of Tiger for Intel Macs.

Lost Installation DVD 1 - Replacement Options

Please tell me how I can replace my Macbook Software Installation DVD #1 since I have lost it. I have DVD #2, but can not find #1. What is the cost to get another one. Can I do it online since I am disabled? It's much easier that way.
Thanks,
Robert

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You'll need to call AppleCare Support. They can provide you with a new set of disks. In the past, they've charged about $60 for a new set. You may also be able to go into an Apple retail store and order a set, but Apple does not provide support online or via e-mail. Apple uses a outside relay services for inbound and outbound TDD calls. Anyone calling Apple via a relay service should ask the relay operator to press zero to reach an operator.
As Alex mentioned, you won't be able to buy a retail copy of Mac OS X for Intel at any price (unless you want to buy the "universal" version of 10 client Mac OS X 10.4 Server for $499).

Hi,
I bought Logic Studio 8 from Dubai, UAE on 26th July, 2008. Now I'm in india and while travelling back to India, I lost the CD pack with the installation DVDs.

How do I get the installation files back? any chance? or I'll have to buy a new Logic Studio?
Please help me out.

How to format HDD and reinstall OS on macbook pro mid 2010 without the installation DVD.

After updated the OS with MAVERICKS becomme my macbook very slow. So I want to format the HDD and reinstall the OS but without the installation DVD - (lost).
Could some one advise me how to proceed? Thank you

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
OS X Lion and newer include OS X Recovery to reinstall Mac OS X without the need of a DVD. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
First of all, copy your most important files to an external drive, or make a backup of your files. Then, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting, open Disk Utility and erase Macintosh HD by choosing it in the Disk Utility's sidebar and going to Erase tab.
Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X

Cant startup from installation DVD

I have just bought a 2nd hand 13" Aluminium MacBook
1. I insert the Installation Leopard DVD and restart holding the C key but it doesnt start up on the DVD but on the HDD
2. I go to system prefs and choose the Leopard DVD as the startup disk. When I restart it cant seem to find the startup dick but repeatedly gives the blue screen and the startup chime until I press the eject key, eject the DVD. Then it starts up on the DVD
Have I bought a dud?

Did they supply you with the original discs that came with the Mac?
If not, you should demand that they do, or if they lost the said discs, to call AppleCare and send them to you. Without the said discs, you may not be able to boot your machine, or install anything on it.
Mac OS X 10.5.6 retail was released December 15, 2008.
Any Mac released new after that date, can't use the retail release, and must use the discs that came with the Mac, until Snow Leopard is released, or if for some reason Apple releases a newer retail 10.5.
Read the Mac's serial number. If is of the format:
W80849 to W809xx, XX0849 to XX09xx it can't use the retail 10.5 installer disc.
No Mac can use the installer disc from a Mac of a different vintage or model.
'C' key doesn't always work for booting. If they did supply the original discs, the startup manager may be necessary:

Is there any way to recover my AddressBookapp with out the installation DVD

my address book app is not working and i have lost my installation DVD is there any way to recover or install the app again?

The only things I can suggest are to use Disk Utility to repair your permissions and to drag the Address Book application out of the applications folder, do a system restart, and put it back again - I haven't seen this myself, but I saw it suggested for a similar problem. You should probably also delete ~/Lbrary/Preferences/com.apple.addressbook.plist and drag folder ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook to the desktop (though since it also didn't work in the other account this is unlikely to be the problem). I suppose you should also check your fonts, but since you aren't reporting problems with other apps this also is a long shot. You should have LucidaGrande, Helvetica, Times and Monaco.
