Install discs for upgrade to OS X 10.3.9

I currently have OS X 10.3.7 running on my MiniMac. However I need to upgrade to OS X 10.3.9 to enable connectivity to my recently purchased iPod Photo. My question is where can I locate an install disc for this upgrade (as the size of the Combo upgrade download is 117MB which is too large for a dial-up connection !)?
Thanks

Hi Mac and iPod, and Welcome to Discussions!
If you take a blamk CD to an Apple Retail Store, they may let you download the Combo there, or might even do it for you.
Some libraries, bookstores, & cafes offer high speed internet access as well.
Or maybe a friend or relative with high speed?
Good Luck!

    Pagemaker is ancient, obsolete and unsupported. It was discontinued over 10 years ago. (Though why it is still sold is a mystery.)
    If you want to run PageMaker, your best bet is to use a Win2K or WinXP PC.
    Otherwise move to Indesign or look at Serif's PagePlus or Scribus.

  • Mac Pro Install disc for a Macbook Pro?

    Hi everyone,
    Just wondering if theoretically it would be possible to use the install discs for Leopard on a new Macbook Pro. Meaning that the disc says 'MAC PRO: Mac OS X ...." but would they still work alright on a late 2009 Macbook Pro?
    Thanks guys!

    No. A Mac generally can't start up from an OS older than the one which shipped with it.

  • Will install discs for an iBook (mid 2005) work on an older model (late 2004) ?

    I have a nephew that got an old 1.2 GHz 30 GB iBook from a neighbor. It had OS X 10.4 on it, but was not running. I used some old discs from an eMac to fix the OS, but couldn't get any additional software to install. I want to get the newest install discs for this iBook (OSX 10.4.2 and iLife '06). I don't know if the discs will allow the install of the application software bundle to the older iBook. Does anyone know if it will work?

    The eMac disk does not have all the necessary software for an iBook. If you reinstall the Mac OSX 10.4.x from a retail disk then your problem should be solved.

  • What to do if yy PC says install disc for CS4 is corrupt and will not proceed?

    My PC says install disc for CS4 is corrupt.  How can this be corrected?

    You can download the installation file(s) and use your serial number from the disc to activate it.

  • Where can I buy install discs for my macbook pro 4,1 ?

    My wife recently was given her old work computer. It was replaced by a brand new 15" MBP Retina.
    The old one, a 15" MBP 4,1 early 2008 will be given to our daughter. I would like to do a fresh install of the OS and upgrade to stop at Snow Leopard. My wife thinks it came with Leopard when she first got it (10.5.2 is confimed by mactracker) and then she had it upgraded to Lion. Right now it is running 10.8.0.
    The guy who bought the computer for her back in 2008 is no longer with the company and nobody can find the discs. I tried to boot from my late 2008 13" MB 5,1 factory discs and had no luck.
    Where can I find factory install discs that will work?
    Thanks in advance,

    Phone AppleCare and order them. Alternatively, if you don't need iLife or the Apple Hardware Test, you can just use a retail Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

  • How do I get a replacement install disc for my MacBook Pro?

    My MacBook Pro was stolen last year and recently recovered by the police.  I was overjoyed until I found that the theif installed windows 7 onto to my computer.  I know I need to reformat my hardrive but I no longer have the system intalll disc that came with my computer.  Can I just buy a OS X disc from apple or do I need to get a specific disc MacBook disc for everything to work properly?
    -Ryan

    For software discs, there are two cases:
    a) came with 10.6. In this case order the replacement DVD from Apple.
    b) came with 10.7. In this case there may be no replacement discs. Start up with Command-R and install 10.7 from the Internet.
    This varies slightly depending on EXACTLY which model you have.

  • My Mac Mini Will Not Boot From Install Disc For Re-Installation

    I've tried all (at least the ones I've found) workarounds to get my Snow Leopard Install Disc to boot, but it will not. When the computer boots normally (without the DVD), I can insert the DVD and access it from there. However, when I try to use the utilities on the disc, it requires a reboot that ends up telling me to turn off my computer. I have a Late 2010 Mac Mini and I have yet to try booting from a disc, so I don't know if this is a new problem or an old one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Unplug everything from your computer except a wired keyboard/mouse and the monitor. If your Mini still won't boot from the install DVD try resetting the PRAM and SMC.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    If that doesn't fix the problem remove any RAM (if you upgraded) and replace with the Mini's original RAM.  There is also this document you might want to read, Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup.
    If that all fails I would take the Mini to the Apple store. It should still be under warranty if you bought it late last year.

  • Where can i get new install discs for my macbook 2008 alluminum  model

    I seemed the misplaced my discs for my macbook early 2008 unibody (silver), i just got a new hd after my old one died and need to install the OS obviously. I was wondering where i would be able to acquire some discs? I have got my sisters discs from her macbook pro from late 2011, the OS version is 10.6.3 but they dont seem to want to install, i get an error before i can begin the install that says something along the lines of "not able to install this software on this macbook".
    Would i be able to buy the OSX snow lepoard disc from the apple website?and would that work perfectly or?
    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
    edit: just looking at the model/build page and i found this:
    MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)
    Oct 2008
    10.5.5
    10.5.6
    9F2088, 9F2533, 9G2133
    that is my model.

    Call Apple using the appropriate phone number on this page. They may make a small charge for the new disks.
    Best of luck.

  • IMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. Started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup. I can get into safe mode. Tried install disc for disc utility and reloaded OS. Still get blue screen.

    I have an older iMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. The other day I started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup.
    I can get into safe mode. But no regular startup.
    I tried disabling bluetooth, thinking that might be related. It didn't help.
    I even tried using the install disc to run disc utility. That didn't work so I reloaded the OS.
    But I still get hung on the blue screen when trying a normal startup.
    All help would be appreciated.

    Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

  • I've forgotten my administrator password and have lost the original install disc for my macbook but I do have the install disc for my imac; can I use the imac install disc to reset the administrator password?

    I've forgotten my administrator password for my macbook pro and don't have the original OS X disc; I do have the OS X disc for my iMac.  Can I use this to reset the password?

    You have nothing to loose by trying it. 
    I doubt it will boot but try it anyhow.
    You will need to contact Apple for replacement install disks.

  • Replacing install discs for iMac G4

    I have an iMac G4 but no install discs. How can I replace those discs, or otherwise restore the machine to an "as new" state?

    All models of the iMac G4 have been placed on Apple's "obsolete" list which means that Apple has discontinued all hardware support for them. You can call Apple tech support and see if by luck they can still provide the original disk set, but it's probable that they can't. If that turns out to be the case, you'll need to either look to places such as eBay for a set, or find a retail copy of Mac OS X 10.4 or, if your iMac's processor is 867MHz or better, Mac OS X 10.5.

  • Relooking at install discs for Applications and drivers

    I seem to recall reading some advice suggesting to look to the installation discs for more up to date versions of applications or printer drivers.
    For example - My version of iPhoto is 2 (which was installed from my installation process when I bought my computer.
    Is it really possible there is version iPhoto4 (let's say) hidden in one of the discs which I could find?
    If so which disc will it be in and what does I do? Just insert the disc?
    Also - I believe there's all sorts of printer drivers on the discs - which obviously weren't downloaded - because they're not in my computer!
    Where are all these 'hidden' drivers.
    Some general pointers on understanding the instal discs will be appreciated.
    Thank you
    gordon

    Hi Gordon!
    For printer drivers, I always go to the manufacturer's website to download the most current updated driver. I never use the software CDs that ship with the printer.
    It's possible that the driver on the CD, included with the printer, will be older than the one from the website.
    You never know how long the boxed printer has been sitting on a retail shelf.
    Depending on the age of the OS X install CDs, the same would apply. The printer drivers could be older than the website's updated drivers.
    I don't have any extra printer drivers installed on my iMac.

  • Making a USB install disc for macbook air using a windows PC!

    Ok i have an iMac and a macbook air, so this guide here seems good for me right?
    How to Create a Mac Snow Leopard USB Installer Disk
    The problem I've got is that my iMac superdrive is skewed, it just won't read anything (disc is new etc but the drive won't work with pretty much ANY disc at all, and i mean any, just spits them out after a few seconds of trying to read it).
    Anyways, can this process as described in the URL above be done using a windows based pc? i also have one as a media centre in my room and it has a working dvd drive..... if so what do i need to do? this is driving me insane! i cannot afford an external superdrive or any other external drives at the moment nor is the iMac in warranty and nor do i have the ability to take it anywhere.

    Its a long one to explain but the superdrive in the imac works when it wants, and fortuantly last time it worked with the OSX disc that came with the imac! amazing, i made the usb installer and then when booted with macbook air it stated it cannot be installed. I did a little digging and discovered that it was because the imac came with one of those grey OEM discs and are not able to transpose to another machine at all, this is officially from apple and what others have used, hence my need to then get a full snow leopord disc.
    The disc however unlike the other OSX grey one will not read at all
    also what i mean is can i use the drive from the windows machine to make the usb install disc not using windows itself....?
