Install JAVA from OSX-install discs...

Hi.
I've lost my JAVA (long story :-(), and I was told to try and use Pacifist to install Java from my OSX-discs without having to do a complete OSX-install...
The problem is that I don't know what to install from the discs - when I open them i pacifist, and search for JAVA, there are alot of hits in very different sections of the disc... Does anyone know which "parts" to install to re-create JAVA?
Brgds, Lars

Thanks Simon, but this is what I'm trying - hence my post above where I ask if anyone knows exactly what to reinstall from the installation-disc (with the recommended program, Pacifist)...
As I write, I've tried to reinstall the java.pkg, but this doesn't seem to be enough, so I asked if anyone knew exactly what I needed to reinstall to recreate java fom scratch?

    My hard drive fried and had to be replaced. I'm trying to install CS4 from my original discs but keep getting this error message - "One or more of the required components of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard failed to install correctly". A customer service rep gave me a link to download off the Adobe site, but when I try to open the file to run it, I get this error message - "A problem occurred extracting the archive".
    Can anyone help?

    Yep.  Nothing happens at all. Windows tries to execute the uninstaller, but I don't get any other screen and all activity stops for the MSI.  I monitored it in Process Monitor and the MSI executable appears, but is quickly ended, like it couldn't find anything or something.
    It's as if windows has a blank entry in Programs and Features, because it used to show the size of the Adobe application in the "Size" column.  Now it's just blank.  Link to screenshot below:

    Note the install date.  That's when I was able to successfully reinstall it.  Now I can't even do that.  I should also mention I tried Revo Uninstaller.  It deleted one small registry key, but nothing changed.
    By the way, is the CS cleaner supposed to ask for a disc in the drive when you run it?  It refused to run unless I had one in it, so I used my install dvd.

  • How do I install PS from CS 4 discs?

    Ok, this may be the dumbest question of the day.
    I have student version of CS 4 with three discs - App 2, Content and Learning.
    I put each of the first two in the CD drive and it spins but no install message.
    I look at the top files: AUTORUN & an icon but they do not execute.
    I go down into the follders below and I find an install PS program.
    When I execute it, it says I need to use Setup.exe.
    I search the disc for setup.exe and there is none.
    So, how do I install PS from CS 4 discs?
    Thanks,
    Frank

    Frank,
    Are you inserting the first disc?
    Can you click on AutoRun and launch that manually?
    Are there any executables in the root folder? If not, look in the Language folders, say US En, or whatever you are going to want to install as.
    If you still cannot find any executable, can you post a screen-cap of your #1 Disc open in Windows Explorer/My Computer?
    Also, this is a general CHECKLIST for installing most Adobe programs.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Can't boot from OSX Install disc.

    Hello,
    I am trying to restore my iMac from a Time MAchine backup and to do that I remembered that I had to boot off of the OSX install disk and choose Disk Utility. I thought that restoring from timeMAchine would be the hard and long part, but I am having trouble booting off of the OSX disc.
    1.) I popped it into my iMac and it mounts and loads. Its runs fine so I know there is nothing wrong with the disc.
    2.) I restarted my iMac and held C.
    3.) The grey screen appeard and then the Apple logo and then the spinning icon underneath it. But it gets stuck there and doesn't boot off of the disk.
    4.) I shutdown the machine by holding the power-button and when it restarted I held D. It ran the hardware test fine and I passed the hardware test.
    5.) I shut it down again, same way in four, and held option. This time I chose to boot form the Mac OS X Install DVD. It again got stuck at the Grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning icon.
    Does anyone know how to or can help me get my iMac to boot from the OSX install disc or how I can use Disc Utility to restore my iMac from TimeMachine?
    Thanks in Advance & Best Regards,
    theirf.

    Sorry, OE = Original Equipment - the grey discs that came with your Mac.
    SL = Snow Leopard - Mac OS X 10.6.x.

    What do OE and SL mean?
    I think i understand though. You mean that any disc with a higher version of something will still work on a machine with a lower version of that thing right?
    Not any disc. The only grey ones that will work are those that came with that Mac.
    Any retail disc of a later OS version will work, and in most cases it would boot from an external HD with a later OS installed.
    However, as Snow Leopard only came on two retail versions, 10.6.0 and 10.6.3, the choice is a bit limited.
    The current retail version is available here.

  • Old IMAC with 10.5.6 OSX. Forgot Administrator password. Started up from OSX install disc 1 and selected password reset from utilies in Installer. But HD icon doesn't show up. (Only install disc and admin root available:no good). What can I do?

    Old IMAC with 10.5.6 OSX. Forgot Administrator password (which I had already changed.) Followed instructions as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274
    Started up from the original OSX install disc 1 and selected "Password reset" from "utilies" in Installer. But HD icon doesn't show up. (Only install disc and admin root available:no good as the support website underscores: Important: Do not select "System Administrator (root)". This is actually the root user. You should not confuse it with a normal administrator account.).
    What can I do?
    Thanks for your suggestions. Antonio

    Not familiar with that version of OS X but try using Terminal and type in resetpassword. If that brings up a password reset screen is your original username shown?

  • Having trouble installing software AND restarting from OSX Install disks

    This may be a previously answered problem, but I couldn't find it in the forum.
    My recently-purchased MacBook has iPhoto v. 2.x on it, but this is really old -- the current version is 6 or so.
    I thought a newer version might be on my Install disks, but I can't seem to get past the screen that tells me to restart in order to install System X. When I do click it, it restarts back to my login screen, and then I need to relaunch the OSX installer, and the loop starts over.
    The obvious solution is to restart from the Install disk, however, I cannot start up from that disk; I hold down C while restarting, but I get a flashing folder-with-a-question-mark in it. Note the grey install disk is 10.2.4 and my computer is running 10.4.11 with upgrades. Is this the issue?
    Besides hoping one of you can help me 1) start from my Install disk and 2) find and install iPhoto, perhaps someone knows which version of iPhoto I will have, if any, on this disk (CD vers 1.0, 2Z691-4306-A).
    Vielen Dank!

    Your question was answered unless we didn't understand it correctly. You are trying to boot an Intel Mac with "Note the grey install disk is 10.2.4." 10.2.4 cannot boot any Intel Mac. BDAqua addressed that in his reply. You have not responded to either his or my original reply.
    You're original question was about iPhoto. I replied that you can reinstall all originally pre-bundled software for your computer by running the Install Pre-Bundled Software installer contained on your OS X Installer Disc One that came with the computer. There's no need to boot from the installer disc in order to reinstall pre-bundled software.
    So, is there a part of your question that still needs addressing? Please let us know, and we will be glad to help if we can.

  • Darkened display from OSX install DVD

    i have an early 2008 MBPro (penryn/2.4GHz/4G/200G/15"). i needed to access the original OSX10.5 DVD.
    upon booting the MBP from the install disc i am confronted with a dark screen unlike the terminal or single user mode versions. i can see the OSX "preferred language" menu in the background but it is dimmed and almost unreadable. though i can't see the cursor, i can navigate to the next menu by pressing "return" but the next menu is also dimmed behind the same dark screen. i have attempted to reset the display etc to no avail.
    any ideas? TIA

    Hi plus9db;
    Does there appear to be any writing on this screen that is overlaying your desktop?
    It sounds like you might be having a kernel panic but we need more information to be sure.

  • Cannot boot from OSX install disk

    I need to run disk utility to repair my boot drive.
    I am attempting to startup from my OSX install disk. However, I can't seem to get my machine to do this.
    My computer recognizes my install disk when it's in my superdrive. It mounts on the desktop and I can read from it.
    However, when i go into system preferences>startup disk, OSX does not show my mounted OSX install disk listed as an option. Also, when I hold down C on startup, my machine ignores the command. And when I hold down the Option key on startup, the only startup option shown is my boot drive, not my OSX install disk.
    I've tried zapping my p-ram. I've tried booting up in safe mode and then re-trying the above.
    I don't know what else I can do, short of typing in scary UNIX command lines.
    I'm going completely mental here. Please help me, somebody.
    If it makes any difference, I've got gobs of apps installed, notably Adobe CS3, Final Cut Studio, Firefox, MS Office 2004.

    Not that this solves the booting problem, but I recommend installing AppleJack, which is free (and does run on Intel). This provides easy commands for doing a disk check in single user mode (it's the same in the end as typing the Unix commands but much easier to use), and it's much faster than booting from the CD (even if you can).
    Having installed it, restart holding command-S: after a lot of text you will get the line 'Type Applejack at the prompt' - you simply do this and then it's just a question of typing 'd' to check the disk and so on. (Incidentally do not run it from the Terminal when booted normally: you must use it only in single-user mode.)

  • I had a problem installing Safari from my install disc

    Hi,
    A few days ago I posted a message that the Safari download would not recognize that I had 10.5.5 on my machine, and someone suggested that I re-install it from the discs that came with it. I did install something but apparently not Safari. I don't want to open up the Leopard re-install because I don't need Leopard, I just want the Safari, so now what do I do?
    Thx

    Welcome To  Discussions SHRiley!
    Is this the Mac OS X 10.5.5 Combo Update. you are using?
    If not, download that.
    Run Repair Permissions.
    Install that Combo Update.
    Again run Repair Permissions.

  • Is there a way I can still install apps from the Applications disc on Mavericks?

    A few weeks ago, I was installing a new SSD into a 2009 MBP. I reinstalled Snow Leopard from the disc that came with the computer and proceeded to upgrade to Mavericks. Unfortunately, unbeknownst to me, you cannot install the iLife applications (namely, iPhoto) from the Applications disc once you upgrade past Snow Leopard. Is there a way I can still install these applications without having to buy them through the app store?

    Pacifist may be able to do it - it does cost money

  • Can't install Tiger from a Retail Disc???

    I have a current mbp (15" 2.2Ghz 4GB memory, etc) and I lost my system discs. Not a big deal (or so I thought) I'll just pick up a retail copy of Tiger. For whatever reason it won't let me install form that disc. It says my system is not compatible with that version of OS X.
    What do I need to do? I've tried putting it in while booted into OS X and double clicking the install now icon, I've tried holding "C" while on bootup and it still won't let me install from teh Retail Disc...any thoughts???

    You need to replace your discs as the retail version will only install to a PowerPC Mac. Simply call AppleCare with your situation and they'll send you new ones at a nominal fee (around $US30). To save you some time, just be sure to have your serial number and proof of purchase handy as they'll ask you for it.

  • I installed java from the apple site and restarted firefox but it still thinks that I don't have java. How to I enable java? I am using lion on a mac.

    I got a message saying I didn't have java installed. I went to the apple site and downloaded JavaForMacOSX10.7.dmg and installed java. but it still says I don't have java installed.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.
