I want to install osx 10.5 server on emac g4 but a single layer dvd is smal

hello i want to install osx 10.5 server edition on my emac g4 for learning purposes but 1 dvd is to small to burn osx 10.5 to so my question what must i do to get osx 10.5 server on my emac g4?

Most Macs with DVD readers can READ Dual-layers, even if they cannot write them. Try the original dual layer release disc, and I expect that you will be pleasantly surprised that it can be read.
If you have 10.5 already installed, there is usually a .mpkg file on the release disc that can add only the Server additional software to a working 10.5.

I have a iMac 20 intel/512 mb from 2007 .i want to instal OSX Mountain Lion, but i have a OSX 10.4.1. I need minimal OSX 10.6.8 or more! What i have to do?
Processor 2 GHz Core Duo. 2 GB 667 Mhz DDR2 .

Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
If yours is truly a Core Duo then it cannot run Mountain Lion. Snow Leopard is the latest you can install.
If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.
Third-party sources for Snow Leopard are:
Snow Leopard from Amazon.com
Snow Leopard from eBay
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.

Hi, the last install dvd that came out for mac's was Snow Leopard,10.6.3. Lion is a download from apple. You cannot just install it over Yosemite. You would have to backup your drive to save files you want and do a clean install. You might want to look into getting more memory. You can run 8 Gig"s of memory on your Macbook Pro.If your Macbook Pro is getting really slow you might want to download EtreCheck and then post the results here.http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck Check out this article. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19031

I downloaded lion no problem, installed no problem , but what if you want re install osx leopard , will you have to pay for it again, i can't find the download

How can you recover the download

Nobody is answering - I think you meant "How can I recover/save/reinstall Lion" if I need to.
Couple things: always keep backups, and include a bootable (clone) backup.
There are articles on Lion Recovery and to install Lion to another drive; to save the installer; to burn a DVD with Lion; and, to maintain and keep Snow Leopard (OP said Leo but I would HOPE everyone knew their intended OS was SL and not just plain olde 10.5 Leo). You had to have SL DVD to even buy Lion.
How to create an OS X Lion installation disc MacFixIt
How to keep Snow Leopard when upgrading to Lion
OS X Lion Install to Different Drive
Upgrading to Mac OS X Lion Protocol
Using Cloning as a Backup Strategy
So backup. Then you can either upgrade, or do a clean install too (and make sure to save the Lion DMG before you do the Install w/ restart as it will get deleted and removed from your system unfortunately - wish like iTunes it would ask "Do you want to save to DVD now?"

Want to install Creative Suite 6 Premium on third home Mac CPU, single user, for college classroom use. No other users at home. Have CS6 on Mac desktop and laptop

I want to install Creative Suite 6 Premium on a third home Mac CPU, single user in the home. Will use the third CPU in college class

A single user license only provides for having two activated installations. If you want a third activated installation you will have to purchase another license.
You can install on as many machines as you like, but the activations of those are limited to two per license. You could activate/deactivate as needed, but I do not know if you end up reaching a limit for that as well. I know there used to be a limit on the number of times you could activate.

I want to install Photoshop elements 11 onto a new computer but have lost my activation code

I have a new pc and want to install my photoshop elemets onto it but have lost my activation code. Tried searching on Adobe, but I did not register the product. How can I retrieve it?

You can check you Adobe account online to see if the serial number is registered under your account. If not then your only option will likely be to contact Adobe Support directly thru chat to see if they can provide you with a/the serial number. For them to do so will require you being able to prove ownership.

Mac Pro installing OSX 10.6 server in one drive and managing in other?

Try to explain in simple words.
Mac Pro 2 dual quad xeon 3.0 4 x hardrives.
1- mac OSX 10.6.5 snow leopard. (1 TB)
2 - separate drive for Windows 7 enterprise running 64 bit. (500gig)
3 and 4 -already installed snow leopard 10.6.5 server. 2x (500 gigs) raid mirror)
Q - Is there anyway to manage the 3 and 4 and having them running while the 1 drive with desktop client manager to manage the server through the drive 1?
thanks
If this is possible and you answer how I will send you a bottle of Champagne!!!

I think you're asking if its possible to be booted off the Mac OS X (Client) volume and separately running the Mac OS X Server at the same time? That's not possible.
The only way (I know) to achieve that would be to run something like VMWare Fusion and run multiple OS shells.
I may be wrong, but I seem to recall that VMWare Fusion only installs on Mac OS X Server, not the Client, so you'd have to "run" server on the Mac Pro, and have the Client OS booted in a VM shell.

Help! Purchased used MBP with admin password, want to install OSX Leopard!

I purchased a used MBP with Tiger. The seller sold me a laptop with a password! I can log into the computer but I can't install programs (it asks for the password).
I don't have the original Tiger disks.
*If I purchase OSX Leopard tomorrow at the Apple Store, will I be able to install Leopard? Will it ask me for the password? Is there ANYWAY to get around this?*
*Do I have to buy a completely new hard drive to install to?* If I do I'll be really upset. I thought this was a good deal but I guess not if I have to pay for all this...

The machine is set to use "automatic login" that is why it does not require a password on boot up.
Boot from the Tiger Install DVD and choose Reset Password under the drop down menu on the top menu bar. You did get the OS disks with the machine, correct?
It will search the machine for all admin accounts and you can choose which one you want to reset.
And FYI, you always need the password of an admin account to install software. It is one of the safety features of OS X.
Installing 10.5 (Leopard) is your choice but it is not required to get you out of this jam if you have the 10.4 (Tiger) DVD. But you will need to boot from the 10.5 DVD and then decide what kind of install you want to do. If it was me, I would erase and install and start clean with legal software and applications.

I want to install osx 10.6 but the cd drive on my computer is broken. Can I get around this somehow?

I'm using a macbook pro from 2009 and I have the install cd fro 10.6 but no drive. So i'm kind of stuck.

Buy an external Superdrive. It doesn't have to be Apple's, virtually any model that can connect to your Mac will work.

I want to reinstall osx lion ontop of my existing lion, but I'm not shure how to do it

I have a macbook air with osx lion 10.7.3 About 2 weeks ago i had to do a complete reinstall from a timemachine back up.Whene i did this i lost my repair partition that came with my copy of lion .My machine came with lion preinstalled from the factory.I have a timemachine backup copy on an external disk and can access the osx recovery utility from this by restarting and pressing option at the same time.If i choose reinstall mac osx lion will it erase my existing copy of lion or will it install over it

It will install a fresh copy of OSX, and a Recovery HD, without disturbing anything else.

I need to install osx I have the snow leopard disc but my optical drive doesn't work.

I made the rushed decision to completely scrub my Mac and reinstall the software again. I bought the computer about 4 years ago from a student at my university who was leaving. When I got it lion was installed already. Now I can use the install disc as my optical drive is broken and I can't recover from the internet as it wants the apple I'd from the original person. I can't find an uncorrupted file to USB boot my machine . has anyone got any ideas before I bite the bullet and get my CD drive repaired .

Purchase an external CD/DVD optical drive.
There are cheap ones (under$50) that'll last anywhere from a year to three years or more expensive(over $50 and higher) that will last much longer.
Not all optical drives are Mac compatible.
Most Mac compatible drives you will only find to be purchased online.
Here are two on Amazon.com that are cheap and Mac compatible

I went to install OSX since it needed to be updated, but now it won't let me install it.

I went to the app store and it said I had an update for the software. I continued on, waiting for it to get to the install page and I tried to install it but it said my hard drive was damaged, but it was working perfectly fine a few minutes before. I went to repair the disk, but it said there was a problem. I went to varify it, but it stopped and said error, saying that the numbers didnt match up. I had to partition my external hard drive so that I could continue using my laptop for school. Does anyone know why this could be or what I could do to fix this?

You cannot perform anything repairs or formatting without first booting from a different device such as a bootable installer DVD or in the case of Lion and later the Recovery HD. The latter is done as follows:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
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 arrow button below the icon.
If you still cannot boot the computer to the Utilities screen, then you either have no Recovery HD or it's damaged. Your option, then, is to use Internet Recovery provided your computer can do so: Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery and all models thereafter.
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Once the menu appears you can select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. Use Disk Utility to Repair the HD as well as Repair Permissions. Then select Restart from the Apple menu. You can try updating again.
Be sure you also have sufficient space on the hard drive. If you have less than 15 GBs of free space, then you need a bigger hard drive or you need to move enough of your files to another hard drive until you have at least 20 GBs free.

Hi guys, i ve baught the abo for lightroom and photoshop yesterday and today i wanted to install lightroom with creative cloud on my computer but there is an error that i havent got a valid key. does anyone know what to do now

.

The Creative Cloud Version of Lightroom does not need a key. Is it possible you have a Trial or previous version of Lightroom installed and that is what you are seeing? If so, uninstall the Lightroom version you have and install it via the Creative Cloud Application.
