ILife '08 re-install on Mac Pro that came with Leopard

I got a Mac Pro in November 2007, and it came with iLife '08.
The machine booted up into Tiger, but it came with a Leopard DVD, so I installed that.
Now I need to install iLife again because iPhoto got corrupted.
My machine did not come with any media except for the Leopard DVD, which is just a Leopard upgrade DVD.
Despite its name, it doesn't require a copy of Tiger to be present, but at the same time it does not have iLife either.
What am I supposed to do? My Mac came with iLife '08 for free, so how do you get the files to install it again?

I found a set of Tiger CDs from my older Mac Pro, and I can use that.
Nevermind.

I recently bought a 2008 mac pro which came with leopard 10.5. I can't load any new programs because it calls for a password, but it won't accept it. I bought new snow leopard 10.6.3 but I can't load it for the same reason. How can I completely reboot.

Help. I recently bought a 2008 Mac Pro from Mac of all Trades. It came with Leopard 10.5 installed. When I set initially started the computer, I followed the instructions on the screen. I was asked to set up a password which I did. Since I'm very forgetful and not too tech savy, I wrote it down as I typed it in. I first went to install Office Mac 2011 but when it asks for a password, it won't accept the one I set up. I was told that if I bought the new Snow Leopard 10.6.3 and installed it, that it would reset everything. Well, it won't allow me to load it without the password. I am new to Apple - this is my first. I have always been able to "reboot" a computer with discs but I'm not sure how to do this one. Is there a way to do it without the password and reset everything? Could somone please email me
Thank You. David Moore

If you don't have original install disks for your Mac, you can order replacements disks directly from Apple at a nominal cost. The original install DVDs are required to reset the password.
If you have no data on your drive that you want to keep, you can boot up from the OSX Snow Leopard disk and install OSX SL.
Insert the Snow Leopard DVD and hold the C key during startup. The Mac should boot from the CD/DVD drive into the installer.
Follow the prompts, erase the disk and install OSX Snow Leopard.

OS X 10.4 on a 2008 mac book pro that came with 10.5.5

Beginning to think about moving from my eMac.
Now that Marathon has moved along,
the only thing I want to bring along is Photoshop 7.0
which runs on OS X 10.4.11 at the latest.
Currently, I have a firewire hard disk with a 10.4.11 and 10.5.8 volume.
I boot into 10.4.11 when I want to use Photoshop.
I might inherit a 2008 mac book pro that came with 10.5.5 installed.
Any way to get it to boot into a 10.4.11 volume?
never hurts to ask
If so, which Tiger disk do I need to scrounge up?
My Tiger disk is PPC only.

Previous version of OSX cannot be installed.
Best.

Computer locks up, so I want to reinstall the OS. I had upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Tried to do an archive and install from the DVD that came with the computer, but that failed.
Tried to do an erase and install, but the install stops somewhere near the end, 13 minutes to go. Tried several times, same result.
Can't reboot from the install disk, it just ejects the disk and I get the flashing question mark.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I think my hard drive is toast. When I boot in single user mode, I get the following text:

Then the following text appears, repeating itself over and over, except that the numbers (indicated by "xxxxxxx")

These messages keep repeating with the numbers (xxxxxxxxx) changing with each iteration.
Does this indicate a bad hard drive?

I bought a used macbook pro that came with xcode

I bought a used macbook pro that came with xcode, this means I can develop Apps but to publish in App Store needed pay developer fees? Or must pay these fees from now?

All you have are the basic tools. Without a paid program in your name, you cannot distribute apps to the store.

How do i re-install AOL Mail app that came with IOS???

How do i re-install AOL Mail app that came with IOS??? I was having an issue with it and uninstalled it from phone. It does not appear in list of apps on Itunes. The one in App store is not the same product.

There is no "AOL mail app that comes with iOs." The iOS Mail App can't be deleted. Is your phone jailbroken?

I can't install the OS X that came with my MBP !

Hello,
I'm a new MacBook Pro user who has spent most of his life dealing with Windows OSs...And the thing is that I wanted to fully recover my MBP (Erase and Reinstall its OS) using the Mac OS installation DVD that came with it...
The thing is when I followed the simple steps you have mentioned in order to install a fresh copy of the OS media I got, it all goes well (i.e I held the ALT button until the Mac OS disk showed up and chose it, proceeding to language selection,) and when I get to the following step ( where the insatallation begins ) I get this error massege that says : " You can not install Mac OS X on this HD " ! Although I managed to Erase the HD completely ! What do I do to make it install ?!
Your help is invaluably appreciated, please repond to me ASAP, and thank you for your time

Are you sure it's the disc that came with that Mac? It should be gray, and the model and version (10.6.x) should be printed on it in very tiny type. It will only work on the same model and build period.
When you erased the internal HD, dis you specify the Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or, if you really need it, Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, journaled) Format?
Why are you doing this? Was there a problem? If so, what (that might provide a clue)?

Can i use a 85 watt charger for my macbook pro that came with an 60 watt charger?

My charger broke a few weeks ago and i ordered another one on amazon and that broke within a week so i'm going to just buy another one from the apple store. But i dont want to wait to order one because i currently cant use my laptop since it died (i dont live near an apple store), but theres a store that sells apple products. they only have 85 watt for the laptops though. so would i be able to use that without ANY issues? I would rather order from the apple store than to buy something that can cause problems, so i just want to know if my macbook will be safe if i use an 85 watt instead of the 60 watt, which is what originally came with my laptop. Thank you.

An 85 watt charger will be fine. Generally, you can use a higher-powered charger than the one that came with your MBP - but using a lower-powered charger is not recommended.

Installing Snow Leopard on macbook pro that came with Lion?

I recently bought a new MBP, model MC721LL/A, that was originally released with Snow Leopard. When I received it I found out that it had Lion installed. Can I install Snow Leopard on it? I have some software that is NOT Lion compatible and am waiting for an update, but till then wanted to stay with Snow Leopard.
Also, can I leave the Lion Restore partition on the hard drive for future use or will I need to do some kind of backup os the entire OS?

Mine did not include snow leopard disks.
I did try to startup from my Snow Leopard disk but it never finished the startup
Where did you get the Snow Leopard disc from if you did not originally have it? In either case, the one you have now did you get it from the previous owner? You need the system discs that originally came with the computer.
As to how to downgrade an os from Lion to Snow Leopard, you should post in the Mac OS X v10.7 Lion forum area.

I am not sure that Adobe realise there is no procedure existing that explains how to obtain the serial
number for Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 Pro as supplied with CS5 Design Premium.
You need a separate serial number for Acrobat Reader 9 Pro. I am still unsure how to get it but I am trying.
Following are two transcripts of live chat, personal information removed.
You are now chatting with Support person 1.
Support person 1: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Support person 1: Hi (Name).
Me: Hi.
Support person 1: I understand that you are unable to locate the serial number for Acrobat 9 Pro.
Me: Correct, the closest I have found is here -
Me: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/636246
Support person 1: Let me check what best I can do for you.
Support person 1: Could you please provide me your email address which is registered with us and the case number?
Me: (email address)
Me: No case number yet, unless you want the case number I raised to register Design Premium?
Support person 1: Yes, I am referring to the case number of Design Premium.
Me: (Case number for CS5 Design premium registering)
Support person 1: Thank you.
Me: Welcome.
Support person 1: Please note that you need to request for the serial number of Acrobat 9 Pro as well when you submit the proof of eligibility for CS5 Design Premium.
Support person 1: Once you request for the serial number of Acrobat 9 Pro you will receive the separate email with the serial number.
Support person 1: Please do go ahead and create the web case regarding this issue.
Support person 1: Your customer identification number registered with us is (number)
Me: OK I will try. For the record, it seems I am not the only person out there that does not realize I need to select
Adobe Reader 9 Pro as a separate package to get a serial number for it, refer to the above link on the forums, as well as
this one - http://forums.adobe.com/message/2828659#2828659
Support person 1: (Name), earlier for CS4 products they will be using the same serial number to install Acrobat however there was complications and hence to avoid it we started to provide with separate serial number for Acrobat.
Me: I am having difficulty trying to locate the page where I start a new case / request...
Me: Just found "Register New Products" and "Manage Subscriptions"
Support person 1: Once you end this chat you will receive the email with the case number you can just login to customer support portal so that you will be able to view this case just below you can find the hyperlink you need to click on it and submit the web case.
Me: OK That sounds easy, perhaps we are finished now? Thanks for the help.
Support person 1: You are welcome.
Support person 1: I'm happy to help, is there anything else I can help you today?
Me: I don't think so, I'll go check my email.
Me: Thanks again
Me: Bye
Support person 1: You're welcome.
Support person 1: It was a pleasure assisting you today.

You are now chatting with Support person 2.
Support person 2: Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
Support person 2: Please allow me a moment to review your request.
Me: Hi
Support person 2: Hi (name).
Support person 2: To locate your account, could you please provide the email address registered with Adobe?
Me: (email address)
Support person 2: Thank you.
Support person 2: Please allow me a moment while I check this information for you.
Me: That's fine.
Support person 2: Thank you for waiting. One moment please.
Support person 2: Could you provide me that serial number?
Me: Yes, one moment while I open it, it is in my account portal...
Me: (Serial number of Adobe Design Premium CS5 supplied, not entirely comfortable supplying it here)
Support person 2: Thank you.
Me: That number worked fine for the Design Premium install, but it does not work for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro install, a
chat last night indicated that I was supposed to get a separate serial number for Reader.
Support person 2: I understand that you need a serial number for the Acrobat 9 pro. Is that correct?
Me: Yes
Me: I would also like to know where I was supposed to find the procedure for following to get this serial number,
because I cannot locate it.
Support person 2: In that case, you can create a webcase by logging in to your Adobe Id and then Click the Support portal and send a request.
Support person 2: Our Adobe Representative will get back to via email.
Me: Yes, that is what the person said to do last night, but I found it was not as straight-forward as that.
Support person 2: If you create a webcase and send it, you would be able to get the serial number.
Me: The student licensing page indicates when I enter the coupon code I should get the "serial number/s" so I do not
know why I did not receive the serial number for Reader 9 Pro as it is part of the Design Premium package. I looked on
the forums and there are a number of people struggling with this.
Me: I will go and look at creating a webcase now, if I can leave this chat open until I achieve that it would be good...
Support person 2: Sure.
Support person 2: That may resolve your issue.
Me: I logged, I clicked on Customer Support portal, the bottom half has the title "Get Support", under that there are 3 sub-headings - "Tech Support", "Orders and returns", and "Serial Number". I click on Serial Number. Then the drop-down box gives me 2 choices, "Lost serial number" and "Product Registration". I have not lost my serial number because I have never received it, and I cannot choose product registration because it assumes I already have a serial number in order to register the software. Can you guide me here please?
Support person 2: You can click Product and Registrations and type all your request and send it. Our Adobe Representative will check on that and will reply you.
Me: I cannot see "Product and Registrations" on the page I am looking at, (url of support page)
Support person 2: Sorry for the wait. Please do stay online.
Me: Under "Support Portal Help" on the right side, there is a "Register your product", but that requires a serial
number.
Support person 2: Sure. I will be able to provide the information regarding that.
Support person 2: You need to click the Register your product.
Me: OK, it asks for a serial number. If I enter the serial number that I already received for CS5 Design Premium it tells me that software is already registered and I cannot register it twice, I tried that yesterday. I need a serial number for Reader 9 Pro before I can register it, this is the problem - I cannot locate how to receive the serial number for Adobe Acrobat Reader 9 Pro as part of the CS5 Design premium suite.
Support person 2: The software has been already registered under your account.
Support person 2: So you need to register the product once again.
Support person 2: So you need not register the product.
Me: The Adobe CS5 Design Premuim software has been registered, as I have a serial number for it. But I do not have a serial number for Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro, that is the problem.
Support person 2: This issue will come under the serial number problems. So you can click the lost serial number tab in the support portal and then just give your issue. So that our Adobe Representative will check on that and will give you the solution.
Me: I am on the "Lost Serial Number" page. First question is "Order Number" - which number do I use here?
Support person 2: I will give you another procedure to send the web case.
Me: OK, I will wait...
Support person 2: Once you end this chat you will receive the email with the case number you can just login to customer support portal so that you will be able to view this case just below you can find the hyperlink you need to click on it and submit the web case.
Me: That is what the person I was chatting to said last night. But it was not as straight forward as that. You will see in my account portal there is an open case (number) where a conversation like this one appeared as a case and it was closed, I reopened it and added notes, will that suffice? Also, where did I go wrong in the registration process - I would like to know what I was supposed to do to get the Acrobat 9 Pro serial number.
Support person 2: I'll be right with you.
Support person 2: You have completed the registration process with your CS5 serial number. You can do the above procedure and create the webcase. Once our Adobe Representative will clearly check on that, will be able to provide you the solution.
Me: If you look at http://forums.adobe.com/thread/636246 and http://forums.adobe.com/message/2828659#2828659 you will
see I am not the only one struggling with this.
Support person 2: Once you get the serial number for Acrobat 9 Pro. You can again register that product.
Support person 2: I am sorry for the inconvenience. However, if you would request you to do the above procedure, so that you would be able to get the solution.
Support person 2: I would request you to do the above procedure so that you can get the solution.
Me: Exactly which above procedure am I supposed to follow? I assume you mean once the chat is closed I get an email with a link, this happened yesterday but the only link was a link to the customer support portal that showed me the closed case on the chat.
Support person 2: Once you end this chat you will receive the email with the case number you can just login to customer support portal so that you will be able to view this case just below you can find the hyperlink you need to click on it and submit the web case. You can follow this and you would be able to get the solution.
Me: Therefore the case that I currently have open should suffice, is that correct?
Me: Are you able to see that case?
Support person 2: I would not be able to open in your account. I checked with the interaction history and was be able see the the chat history with the previous Representatives.
Support person 2: So I would request you to do the above procedure.
Me: OK, lastly, can you tell me what I was supposed to do to get the Acrobat Reader 9 Pro serial number as part of the Design Premium registration process? The process is not listed anywhere, I would be happy to find out so that (a) I know where I mucked up, and (b) so I can take that info back to the forums and help the others that are struggling with this. Thanks.
Support person 2: By creating a webcase you would be able to get the serial number. This is the possible solution which could
resolve your issue.
Me: Thank you for your time.
Support person 2: You are welcome.
Support person 2: Thank you for contacting Adobe. Goodbye!
Me: Bye! Have a great day.
Support person 2: Have a nice day.

Can I Wipe a new machine that came with Leopard and install Tiger

I like Leopard at home but at work on our network Leopard does not play well. I have a dual 3.2 Quad Core. Can I do a format and start with a fresh install of Tiger?

My question was answered. I can not wipe my machine clean and go back to Tiger until my IT department decides to embrace the fact that the graphics departments within our company use MAC's and always will. All was well with Tiger and our network or at least we had worked through all of the issues we had and then me and the guy I work with got new machines with Leopard on them. We have one guy in IT that claims to be the go to MAC guy but sometimes I wonder, seems my partner and I know more about MAC's than the IT department but our suggestions when we give them do not seem to be welcome. Thanks for the answers.

Did anyone else get a brand new mac book pro that came with items already in the favorites tab?

just bought a brand new mac book pro went online and noticed that there were already items saved to favorites, strange things about pumpkin cheesecake.

You could have purchased a refurbished computer.
Take it back and voice your concern and where ever you purchased it from will probably swap it out for you

How do I access my hotmail account in the new Mail that came with leopard?

I just got leopard, but it won't find hotmail with any of the servers... how do I get it to work?

One option available is to covert your HotMail account to HotMail Plus, a fee based service that now supports POP3 protocols, which you can access from virtually any mail client. The POP3 option only very recently became available to HotMail users, and is only available to those with HotMail Plus accounts. Setup in Mail would used these values:
• pop3.live.com inbound server identifier
• smtp.live.com outbound server identifier
SMPT authentication is required.

How do I reinstall Lion if I get a new hard drive? My mac came with Leopard and I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard

My MacBook Pro originally came with Leopard. I have the OS and Applications disks for Leopard but I cannot find my upgrade disk for Snow Leopard. I would like to perform a clean install of Lion on the new hard drive and restore some data from my Time Machine backup. I am not looking to restore the current image to my new hard drive. I have not yet removed the exisiting hard drive nor have I wiped my data.

The only way to do that is to buy a New SL Retail DVD. Or you could buy the Lion Install USB thumb drive from Apple for $69.
You must have SL installed to then install Lion or have a thumb drive with the Lion installer.
You could also create a Lion USB Recovery thumb drive using Lion Disk Assistant. But you need to have Lion already installed and the Lion RecoveryHD Partition on your drive to make the Recovery thumb drive.
Lion Recovery Disk Assistant

I have a mac pro 2007 model. It appears I have a corrupted sector on my the hadrive tha has my operating system. If I use the install disk that came with is (Tiger) can I still get my lion back.

I have mac pro 2007 model given to me, I updated it to lion about six months ago, and I do not have a time machine.
Lion stopped loading before I get to the login screen,
I tried all the tips, doing a option/shift/v. I noticed several fsk_dsk errors that it could not fix on my boot drive.
Restore would not work either. The only physical copy I have is the install disk that came with the mac. I think it is Tiger.
If I put this operating system on will I be abel to upgrade it to lion, and if so will I have to pay again?

The Lion Recovery Partition has its own index. Your Macintosh HD partition is the one with the troubles.
If Disk Utility cannot fix it, you may need to apply different Utilities, such as Disk Warrior.
Some readers suggest that the best disk repair is to erase the drive and restore it from your Backups.
This might be a good time to consider getting a new drive to have on hand. This would allow you flexibility in copying, fixing, and (if needed) replacing the drive with the problems.
