Install Discs Lost

If, for example, the install discs are lost, is there any way one can erase everything and re-install OS X except buying a box of Tiger?

I 'lost' mine last year and called Apple. They will get you some more if you are under the 12 month warranty - I think thats what they said. It was a call centre in India and I got cut off.
Anyway - I found them again so had no need to order.
I would suggest calling and see what they say.

    Hi Jana... you can't do it without the Disks, but...
    Might give a try with Applejack...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
    After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
    applejack AUTO
    Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
    At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
    The 5 things it does are...
    Correct any Disk problems.
    Repair Permissions.
    Clear out Cache Files.
    Repair/check several plist files.
    Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • I uninstalled iWork 09 and lost the install disc - is there any way to get it back?

    That doesn't sound like a wise thing to have done.
    At this point having lost your software purchase, the quickest way will be to purchase and install it from the Mac App Store. It is not expensive and can then be installed on multiple Macs using the same Apple I.D.

  • Need to reset password, lost install disc

    I have a wireless router, Model WRT54GS v7.  I moved recently, and I need to reset the password to connect wirelessly.  I've lost the install discs during my move.  What do I need to do?

    The reason why the admin is no longer working as the router password because you might have setup a router password, not knowing, during the first time you setup your router...If you remember the router password when you first used your setup cd to install your router then enter that password else you need to reset your router and re-configure it...
    To reset the router press and hold the reset button for 30 seconds...Release the reset button...Unplug the power cable from your router, wait for 30 seconds and re-connect the power cable...Now re-configure your router...
    If your Internet Service Providor is Cable follow this link
    If your Internet Service Providor is DSL follow this link
    Then adjust the Wireless Settings as suggested in the previous post...

  • Lost install disc, System requires re-install.  Now what?

    I run cs2 and recently got a reinstall dialog box popping up.
    I can no longer navigate the help or updates function.
    My install disc has been lost in the process of several moves. 
    How or can I attain a new disc?

    You would have to contact Adobe. You will have to provide proof of purchase, unless you had registered with your install and they have that on record. I am not sure they provide disks back to CS2, but it is all I know to try. You may be out of luck if you did not register or they no longer have disks for CS2.

  • I've lost my install discs... What can I do? .

    So, on my way home with my computer several stops were made, and during one of them, a bag was dropped unnoticed. Problem is it contained the install discs for the computer (specs at the bottom of my note).
    Can someone tell me if it will be possible to purchase new discs from apple? I absolutely need them because when the computer was being set up (transferring data), my cousin "replaced" my font book with the one from my other G4 (800mhz/10.4.11), thinking the fonts would carry over.
    Now I can't open the font book at all, which means that I can't install new fonts for my photoshop program. I get an error message saying, *"You cannot use the application "Font Book" with this version of OSX."*
    If anyone has any suggestions on where I can buy restore discs for my G4 or how I can fix my font book application, I'd really appreciate it.

    Okay, but will that reinstall my font book? The person I bought my computer from had leo already installed. I offered to buy the master disc
    from him (the disc he used on my computer), but he wouldn't sell. Instead, he just gave me a burned copy "in case I ran into trouble". Luckily,
    that was in my purse, but the others discs were in a separate bag and were lost.
    I'm not having any issue with anything except my fonts. Someone suggested using Pacifist to remove the font book from the install disc,
    but I don't have the ones that came with the computer anymore.
    Do you know if the font book can be extracted from the leopard disc?
    (Forgive me if my questions seem silly, but I'm not savvy at all.)

  • Lost iMac G5 Install Discs

    The install discs for my iMac G5 seem to be lost. How can I get new copies of them?
    I have an iMac G5 with the Ambient Light Sensor. The install discs had OS X 10.4 and iLife 06 on them.

    Contact Apple support, timswim. THey will want to know your serial number and there will be a charge (not sure how much these days) for the issue of a replacement set.
    Cheers

  • Lost/misplaced install disc

    I have lost my install disc to Tiger!! help? How can I get another one???

    See if you can find a Tiger retail package on eBay. If you are referring to the original installer discs that came with your computer then call AppleCare to see if you can purchase replacements.

  • Lost install disc can a Leopard OS disc be used?

    We've recently lost our install disc for the MBA. I do have a copy of Leopard OSX, can we use that to repair permissions?

    My guess is that you will be unable to boot the computer from the Retail disk. Replacement disks are around $25 from an Authorized Service Provider.

  • Need to reinstall leopard but lost my install disc

    hello, i want to reformat my mac book pro but i cant find my leopard install disc. can i download it?

    Call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775 (telephone numbers for other countries - http://www.apple.com/contact/phone_contacts.html). Provide the serial number and specifications of the Mac.  They may be able to provide a replacement set of discs for a fee.  These discs will be for whatever OS was installed on the computer originally, so if you have an upgraded version you will need to obtain the discs some other way.

  • Lost original instal disc

    My iMac came pre-installed with Aperture 2 which I subsequently upgraded to v3 however I have stupidly misplaced the original aperture 2 instal disc.  I'm now trying to load Aperture on my MacBook Air  and don't have an install disk or original serial number.  I've downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3 to my MacBook but when I try to enter the serial number from the "About Aperture" drop down I get the message that its invalid as I need the original serial number for Aperture 2 not the upgrade one.  Anybody got any ideas how to get the original serial number back?
