Install CD's and/or re-installing 'Panther' without them?

Hi,
I can't find my Install CD's and my iBook doesn't start up anymore. I get the 'loading-screen', but after that the screen just stays blue. Now I've tried everything they advise you to do in Support, nothing works though. So of course the next step would be to use my Install CD's, which I can't find anymore. I've recently purchased a SmartDisk and I've been able to save the files I don't want to loose through Target Disk Mode and a friend's iBook. He said I could borrow his Install CD's, but he's got a 14" and I think it's 'younger' than mine. This would mean it wouldn't work, right? Besides, it might even be illegal, or not? What I was wondering is whether I can still use Disk Utility via those CD's or will that fail as well?
And if so, can I make a CD with my iBook that enables me to install Panther without my original Install CD's? And if so (these are a lot of 'ifs', I know), how can I save, for instance, the iLife that was on those original CD's, can I just copy the application to my external hard drive and then put them back afterwards?
I've given Apple a call to ask how much it would cost to buy a new Install CD and it was €95 (about $115)! So if anyone can help, I'd be very much obliged!
Thanks!

iBook 12 inch Mac OS X (10.3.9)

If your friend's iBook is a "Late 2005" and yours is an "Early 2004", then his iBook would have come with Mac OS X 10.4. This copy of 10.4 will not install on any other kind of computer. However, you could buy a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4. This would not get you the AppleWorks or iLife that originally came with your iBook, however. You could also buy a retail copy of iLife, but with the two purchases together, it would be cheaper to pay Apple for copies of your correct disks...
Although I'm not sure how I can find the processor speed without my iBook working.
If you open the keyboard, there will be a sticker inside that has some information about your iBook. It should say something like "1.2GHz G4/512/40/AP/BT". That would be a 1.2GHz G4 with 512MB of RAM (built-in), a 40GB hard drive, an AirPort card, and Bluetooth.

I just paid the $9,99 a month to have access to Photoshop and lightroom. I am having trouble installing the programs and when I installed on Photoshop it said "trial"- this isn't suppose to be a trial but a resource I pay for monthly for a year right?

What turns the trial into the live software is signing in. If you sign in with the Adobe ID that has the subscription, the trial becomes live. First check your account on Adobe.com to make sure that the subscription is live.

I have just bought and iMac and it was a display model but I'm trying to install iWork apps and its asking me to buy them. Any suggestions please

i have just bought and iMac and it was a display model but I'm trying to install iWork apps and its asking me to buy them. Any suggestions please

If it didn't start up with the Startup Assistant, did you erase the drive and reinstall the OS prior to starting this?
That is the best way to start given that it was a display model.
The free apps are tied to the Mac. If the store downloaded the apps from the App Store, you won't be able to do the same. You might want to contact App Store support: http://www.apple.com/support/mac/app-store/

Premiere Elements 11 gives error "encountered a problem installing shared technologies" and does not install.

I have Photoshop Elements 11 installed but Premiere Elements will not install due to the problem installing shared technologies. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how to fix the issue. I tried the installation several times.

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 11 running on? For now I will assume Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit. Are you installing the program from
an installation disc or from installation files?
The Shared Technologies error is an old story that afflicts several versions of Premiere Elements on several different computer operating systems. My encounters with this error
have been using installation disc for the program involved.
There are numerous home remedies. The one that has been working for me lately and consistently has been the disabling of the OOBE Folder which is found
Local Disk C
Program Files (x86)
Common Files
Adobe
and in the Adobe Folder is the OOBE which you disable by changing the folder name from OOBE to OLDOOBE.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Do not give up.

Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit) fresh install, only WLAN and video driver installed but EXTREMELY slow internet connection...

I recently checked my internet connection on my Asus G53SW and found that it was extremely slow on both the LAN and WLAN connections. I checked with a different laptop (old HP Pavilion) and I get a steady 74mbps+ connection using the same LAN cable and
also with the WLAN connection. My ISP has checked their side and everything is fine.
To try and resolve the issue I tried uninstalling, disabling and tweaking various software and even tried safe mode with networking, all to no avail. I then decided to do a complete fresh install this afternoon. I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit)
successfully onto my SSD and everything went smoothly. I have now only installed Nvidia video drivers and the (only) WLAN driver from the Asus support site.
My WLAN connection remains incredibly slow (amost half what it is on the HP and my MacBook Pro). Clearly this is an issue with either the Asus laptop or Windows but I don't know how to proceed in order to eliminate which it could be other than to try a different
o/s to W7-Ult.
Can anyone help who knows more about this than me? Perhaps someone who has had a similar or the same problem because this is giving me a severe headache!
Thanks in advance to all and for any advice.

Thank you for responding. As I stated in my original post the reason I went through this process was because of an extremely slow internet connection from both the WLAN and LAN connections on my G53SW. At that time I had all of the correct drivers on the
machine. Whilst I would agree that with the machine only having a video and WLAN driver it may well not be working 'optimally', the rationale for doing this was to get the machine working with the minimum of processes to show that it was not anti-virsu software,
Steam or the like causing interference.
I have changed out both of the HDDs this evening (a primary SSD and a secondary 1Tb HDD) for a clean hybrid 1Tb Seagate drive. Once I have installed all of the Asus drivers (and nothing else) I will try the speed test again and report back.
I can now report that with a fresh install of Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 and ONLY Asus drivers as supplied the issue remains. On a connection where I should see around 75mbps I am actually getting around 18mbps, sometimes considerably slower. This only affects
my Asus machine.

How to do a clean install go yosemite and then just install certain files, apps, documents, phopt's, etc...from time machine backup?

How to do a clean install of yosemite (have Mavericks 10.9.5 now) and then just install certain files, apps, documents, phopt's, etc...from time machine backup?

Do a backup before doing anything.
If you want to make a clean install of Mountain Lion, boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R) on a restart, use Disk Utility to Verify/Repair the disk and run Repair Permissions. Then erase the hard drive using Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format using the Options button. Reinstall Yosemite. Restart normally and test. Use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to import what you want.

How to install MySQL 5 and remove default install

Hi all,
I have some problems to make MySQL 5 works fine on Mac OS X server.
I have installed the package (http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html) but a instance of the old mysql still running.
Can someone explain me how to remove the default install and make the new one works?

"pwd in directory /usr/local/mysql return /usr/local/mysql"
I didn't really address this in my previous post, but this could be a problem. This seems to indicate that there is an actual directory named mysql in /usr/local. That shouldn't be the case. If it's empty, you should remove it and replace it with a symbolic link to /usr/local/mysql-standard-5.0.16-osx10.3-powerpc (assuming that's the version you have installed).
To create this link, cd to /usr/local and enter:
ln -s /usr/local/mysql-standard-5.0.16-osx10.3-powerpc mysql
Or you may want to run the installer again. I would hope that the installer would not fail without giving you an error, and since creating this link is not necessary for the installation, it probably just ignored it, but the presence of the directory would have prevented it from creating the link, so it could have interfered with the normal operation of the installer.
Normally when you install MySQL it installs into the /usr/local directory, creating a folder with the full name of the version, e.g. "mysql-standard-5.0.16-osx10.3-powerpc" in the case of the current version. It then creates a symbolic link to that directory called "mysql" in the /usr/local directory. That's why, normally, if you cd to /usr/local/mysql and issue pwd it should give you the full path to the current MySQL installation directory.
The beauty of this system is that it leaves your current installation intact, so if you need to back out, because some of your applications are not compatible with the new version, you only need to re-point that symbolic link to point back to the old version.
It also allows you to transfer your data very easily. Even if you forget to extract the data folder from the old version before you installed the new one, your data is still there, safe and sound. (That's why I've been recommending leaving that folder alone until you sort out the problems with the installation of the new version.)

Your webbrowser seems to be installing unrecognized software and forces an install before being able to do a search for example what is "player.exe".

continuing.....( by the way this is only upsetting me even more..especially with no phone support so just keep on WASTING my time). secondly, an ad comes up from nowhere. I consider this very RUDE!. I didnt ask for the ad. Thirdly, the last couple of days, mozilla forces me into some other software that needs to be updated. I am a busy business owner, I dont need to sit and wait while YOUR software hangs up my system. Lastly, Mozilla did something to my IE (Internet explorer). Give me answers and I dont want to go through this again!!!! Email me TODAY!!! ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU FIX IT

Sorry if this does not appear helpful, but it is probably something that you have done.
I suggest you scan for malware with multiple and up to date tools, and in future take more care what you download and install with Firefox.
BTW Where did you get Firefox from initially was it an already customised version from Yahoo or somewhere else ? Standard official Firefox does not come bundled with other software or force you to install anything. <br /> We are volunteers and users like you. We do not give email or telephone advice.
Please post back with how you get on
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:
* [http://www.microsoft.com/security/scanner/default.aspx Microsoft Safety Scanner]
* [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free/ MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware]

* [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ AdwCleaner: (for adware)]
* [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan Kaspersky Free security scan]
You need to use multiple and up-to-date tools as they will not all pick up the same things.
[http://windows.microsoft.com/MSE Microsoft Security Essentials] is a good FREE permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

I am trying to install vmware fusion and during the install it continues to ask for the admin password to install.

I am trying to install vmware fusion 5-1.0.2 on osx 10.8.2 and it just keeps asking for the admin passoword for the computer. I keep putting it in with no luck. I have installed other programs with no issues.

If yours is the only user account on the Mac, it will have Admin privileges by default, so just type your password. Provided the installer is legit (i.e., downloaded from VMWare's servers and not some shady place), it needs Admin privileges since it needs to add stuff in the innermost folders of the OS for virtualization to work.
If your user account does NOT have admin privileges, you will need to have someone who does install Fusion for you. No way around this.

Clean install of arch and can't install hp p1005

Hello pals
I don't know what do anymore. The "normal" way I used do, download foo2zjs, make, make install, make install-hotplug, don't works
The printer aren't detected by cups (localhost:631)
Arch wiki don't works too. My printer is a USB one. But modprobe usblp, and after, rmmod usblp, after initialize cups, don't works too
Arch don't "uploads" the firmware
Anyone here could install this printer?
At this link.......
http://elli2866.blog.com/2010/07/26/ins … rch-linux/
There's not the rule on / sbin/foo2zjs-loadfw.... or better, this file don't exists.
Hplip don't downloads the plugin, "failed"

during compile don't show any errors. But, the printer should 'work' two times. One time after put it on, and another one, a while time after (5 seconds about) when the firmware are uploaded.
this second "thing" dont happens, and without it cups don't detect the printer. Both localhost:631 or system-config-printer (that should be removed while compiling) don't detect the printer, and so, not linux.
It's like if don't printer are plugged in the pc
