IChat uninstalled from new iMAC

I removed iChat from my new iMAC and now I cannot find a way to install it. Has anyone experienced this, and is there a way to install it from the web--O/S is Leopard.

Ryan's FAQ http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=121719
This works for Leopard as well except it is in the main Intall package as there is no Optional Install folder.
You can also run the Disk as if you were going to install and select just iChat at the appropriate stage.

IChat crashes on NEW iMac G5

My inlaws just switched to Mac and bought one of those new iMac G5's with the built in iSight. Beautiful machine, but after using iChat w/Video a few times it suddenly does not work. We live about 500 miles away, so giving them tech support over the phone the only option. There problem?
iChat AV crashes with no error message immeadiately after they open it.
They have deleted all the preference files from ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ichat.*
iChat AV still crashes immediately after they open it (from the application folder).
They are running all the latest security pataches and updates (i set their iMac up to automatically update and install in the background; this was a mistake obviously).
What really bugs me is that this is a new system (less than 2 months old) and we used iChat AV 4 or 5 times since they have bought it. Now it suddenly stopped working. However, on my 2+ years old powerbook with a iSight camera (also running Tiger w/current updates) iChat works perfectly. No problems.
I'm thinking it's due to a security patch?
Any clues?
Or should they just hual their system into an Apple store (100 miles away from them)?

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, when I launch ichat it just bounces up on screen for a very few seconds and then drops out. I tried re-installing Tiger, it updates before I can do anything else.

Transfering music from new iMac to iPod without losing songs on ipod

Hello,
I've just finised uploading all my CD's onto my new iMac. I now wish to download the contents of the iMac's iTunes library onto my iPod (click wheel but not video) without losing the songs that are already on the iPod. The iPod was originally synced to a Windows PC which was used to download it's existing library. There are a number of songs on my iPod that are not in my new iMac's iTunes library & also a large number of songs that are already on the iPod.
Basically, I want to know how I can download all songs from my iMac's library that are not already on the iPod without losing the songs I have on the iPod that are not in the iMac's iTunes library (Ihope that makes sence).
Thanks for any assistance.

Hi Dave!
Yes, you can do this.
First off, do this to prevent iTunes from automatically syncing your iPod:
1 - Open iTunes.
2 - Connect your iPod to your computer.
3 - Basically as soon as your iPod begins to display "Do Not Disconnect", begin to press and hold the Option and Command keys on your keyboard together simultaneously.
4 - Continue to hold these keys for about 20 seconds, throughout the time when your iPod is showing up in the Source List in iTunes.
After you've done this, click on your iPod's name in the Source List (the Source List is the left panel area of iTunes), and under the "Summary" tab, tick the "Manually manage" option for your iPod. Also, go to the “Music” tab, and ensure that the “Sync” option isn’t selected.
Click the “Apply” button in the bottom-right corner to save your changes.
Manually managing the songs on your iPod will allow you to preserve the current content that you have on your iPod, and transfer new content from your iTunes library to your iPod.
When you are connecting your iPod to a computer that is different than what it is normally synced to, you will get a message that says something like: "The contents of the iPod "your iPod's name" is synced to another iTunes library. What would you like to do?"
You will be given a couple of options, and make sure to click on "Cancel", and NOT "Erase and Sync" (or else the current contents of your iPod will be erased, and the iPod will be synced with your iTunes library).
So, after you've saved your iPod's songs from being automatically synced off of it, you can transfer your iPod's music to your compter if you wish.
You can install a third-party program onto your computer that can do this copying.
Try using Senuti.

Process to access .mac from new iMac

Have 2 computers, eMac & new iMac 20" I can iWeb publish without problem to my .mac account from the eMac (in fact, have 4 different web sites online at present.) When I attempt to publish a new site using iWeb 08, I'm continually asked to sing in. First comes an update request which I check 'Don't Change'. and a drop down progress bar at the top of the iWeb window. Next comes the .Mac info window asking if I'm a member (sign in) or wish to become one.
When I click the 'Sign In' button, up comes the 'Already a Member?' question followed by my .Mac member name and the coded password (which shows a total of 12 digits vs. my actual 6 digit one)
That's as far as I can go as there are no other buttons to click except the account info one which gets me nowhere.
I want to move on to using some new iWeb 08 features but cannot.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Wayne Garriepy

Try launching Keychain Access - its in your Utilities folder - and look under login passwords to check the info for "idisk.mac.com" to see if it is correct.

Move data from new iMac to Mac SE 1/20

I have some classic Mac software I always migrated to my new Macs for years. Now I got an old Mac SE 1/20 and I wan't to move all my old software to it from my 27" iMac.
The problem:
I bought 1,4 MB DOS-formatted floppies which both computers can read and write to (with PC Exchange on MacOS 7.5).
When the files are copied to the disks on my iMac they look fine, with their long filename, icons,…
But inserted into the SEs floppy drive the disk mounts with 8-character-names and all metadata is lost, so the SE can't open anything.
Formatting the disk to Mac format on the SE creates a disk the iMac mounts as read only volume.
I also have a G4 iMac at home, would using it in-between help?
Thanks for any useful hints!
David

Mac OS 10.6 and above can only read HFS disks, not write to them. You will need to transfer the software from the iMac to another mac running 10.5 or lower (i'm 99% sure that 10.5 could still write to HFS disks, however if not then 10.4 tiger definitely could). And then from that mac, transfer the files to the floppy disks after they have been formatted in the SE.
.... HFS is the format that the SE uses, not to be confused with HFS+

Removing Office Test Drive from new iMac

I purchased Office 2004 with my new iMac. The installation instructions inform me to remove "...any Preview or Test Drive versions....". My attempts to uninstall the Test Drive have failed. The "boxes" I am instructed to check are not there. I have searched for hours on this and the MicroSoft site to find an answer to this dilemma. Did I miss the solution in my search?

Just drag the "Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive" folder
to the trash - empty it - and install the new
software.
Just to add a bit here: this should work if you've never actually run the Test Drive version. Until you've actually run the Test Drive, nothing has been installed for the uninstaller to find.
Once you've run the Test Drive version at least once, it'll install all of its libraries and fonts and stuff all over the hard drive, just like any other program. Then you'll need the uninstaller.

Can't print in color from new iMac running 10.10

I recently purchased a new iMac to replace my 10 year old machine. Its great. However, I can't print in color to my HP Photosmart 7510 all in one. Its not the printer because I printed a test page from the printer and it was color. I have tried to print from iPhoto and Creative Cloud Photoshop CC. I left a post on the HP forum and also left a question on the HP support site and have gotten nothing. If anyone can help me with this, I will be grateful. Hope I don't also need a new printer. I uploaded the latest driver for the printer. Maybe that is the problem.
Thank you in advance. You guys on this site are awesome!

Hi,
When you print are you sure that you have print in color selected? if you do then try re-installing your printer. This video helped me.

Migrating iLife apps from new iMac to G5 machine with Leopard

I bought the iMac which came with iLife and then built up a dual proc G5 to do music and video on. I don't want to have to buy a copy of iLife since I already have it but really want Garage Band, Movie Maker and iDVD on the G5. I started to migrate these with Migration Assistant but it didn't give me an option to choose just those apps. Is there a problem with me migrating all apps and then just deleting the ones I don't need on the G5? I assumed this would move the licenses for the apps from the iMac to the G5. Can someone confirm if the Migration effectively uninstalls the app on the machine it's being migrated from?
I'm not interested in making a copy of these three apps and am happy to delete them from iMac once moved over but it's not clear to me that this will work (even thought guys as the Apple store said I could do it).
Thanks

The short answer is probably no.
I have 2 imacs both Intel.
I was having a problem with iLife apps on my older imac and so I dumped the iLife apps to reinstall them.
I inserted the install disk for my newer imac and it refused to allow me to install from that disk.
I used Pacifist and it worked for all apps except iPhoto which would not work properly even after several attempts.
I located my iLife 08 disk and it installed fine.
Despite the fact that most of the iLife apps seemed to install using Pacifist, they were suspect so I installed them all afresh from the ILife 08 disk.
The last thing I need is a program that may screw up and lose some of my photos, movies or compositions, especially when the package is reasonably priced.

Using the optical drive of a MacBook Pro from new iMac for iTunes

Can I connect my macbook pro to my new iMac (no optical drive) with ethernet cable and use the optical drive of the macbook pro to upload CDs to iTunes on the new iMac?

On my 17" MacBook Pro I use the eSata port for Black X Duet Hard Drive Docking station where I put 2 1TB Hitachi internal drives. They are swappable and are about $80.00US. I use the USB port for my system backup and a G-force 500 MB bus powered portable drive on the FW800 port just for the heck of it. It works out really well for me.

Trying to get my iTunes content from new iMac to my Powerbook, best method?

Want to have all my content on the go, how can I get my desktop content into my Powerbook, firewire through migration? Use iPod? Network them with ethernet? PLlease help!

Connect both computers with a FireWire cable, start up the iMac with the T key held down, and move the iTunes Music folder from the iMac to the PowerBook; by default, this folder is Music/iTunes/ in your account's home folder, which is in /Users/ unless you've manually changed it. Quit iTunes before beginning the process.
The Migration Assistant should not be used in this situation; it cannot migrate data to an existing Mac OS X user account.

IDVD missing from new iMac

I would like to have iDVD on my new iMac. Where did it go? How do I find it and install?

Great UT link Klaus. I've added it to my "notes."

Basic questions from new iMac owner

What exactly should I buy for Time Machine backups (I have 27 inch iMac with 8 gb memory). Also can I migrate data directly to my iMac from my Dell All-in-One, including Itunes music library? What type of connector best to use?

You should buy an external disk that uses the usb3 interface (assuming your iMac is new). Use the disk first with your Dell. Format it as NTFS if required, put your itunes folder on it, put your documents folder on it, put your pictures folder on it, .....basically get your stuff on the drive.
Move the disk to the mac. Now, copy the iTunes folder in the Music folder. Place everything inside the documents folder inside the iMac's documents folder, put the pictures folder inside your iMac's pictures folder, ...basically move your stuff to the appropreiate iMac folder.
Now start up iTunes and it will see the old library and all will be fine. If any of your album, apps, movie artwork looks weird, simply close iTunes go into the cache folder inside the iTunes folder and delete the old cache files. Restart iTunes and the artwork will look OK.
You can also open iPhoto and import all the photos from your old picture folder.
Finally when you are happy that all your stuff is in the right place. Reformat the drive as hfs journaled, name the drive Backup, and point time machine to it from system preferences. You can format the drive using disk utilitiy which is inside your applications/utility folder.
It's really not that hard to convert. Don't worry about applications you had on the Dell. They won't work. You just need your data files. Data is data so all will be well.
Good luck

Recovery disc missing from new iMac (late 2012)

My iMac doesn't boot from the recovery partition. If I boot with the option key (alt) it only shows one bootable volume. If I boot with cmd-R it takes longer but still boots from the main volume.
I've run Disk Utility in debug mode and it shows that there is a recovery partition. I've mounted it, and looks as if it has the right stuff on it:
com.apple.boot.P
com.apple.recovery.boot
System
So, what is going on? It looks as if the boot process isn't recognising the recovery disc as a valid boot volume.
Any idea why?
The machine is fresh out of the box this week and I've not yet migrated my old system, so it's about as standard as you can get.

Thank you Mende, for that useful suggestion!
Unfortunately, looking it up, I find that recovery over the Internet takes several hours.
Also, I've updated my machine from the 10.8.2 it shipped with to 10.8.3 and I still don't ahve a recovery drive.
As I said, I can see that there is a recovery partition and it appears to have a recovery system on it, is there some way that I can make it visible to the boot loader? It looks as if that is all that's missing...
Has Apple said anything about why it has left the recovery drive off the latest iMacs? It seems to me to be an even odder thing to leave out than the Infra Red connection (which is very annoying because I've a very useful and expensive Apple Remote that's quite new and now useless - it doesn't work for my Macbook Pro either). I can understand them leaving the DVD drive out and it wasn't too much hassle to connect an external DVD which works quite well.
