Install without CD
I have am computer here with 6Gb HD.
It have CD/USB/Floppy and network.
We have no woriking OS on it right now. The computer I using right now have no working CDdevice and it's running winows XP so we can't burn the image. And the old computer can't boot from an usb device.
Is it possible to boot an small dist from the floppy and install Arch from the USB? Or Install from the net directly from the floppy?
FaunOS has a cd boot program which allows the boot params to enable USB flash device to load the FaunOS Live system.
It requires a minimum 1GB flash device but I recommend a 2GB device because the FaunOS fills the 1GB to near capacity. After initial install, the partition is opened up to allow editing of parameters in /etc, alsa and rc.conf.
Over 600 packages are installed and all are archlinux based. The latest release will soon be tested and will be based on the latest kernel.
It does not impact any OS you presently have since it operates in ram from the r/o flash drive.
Study the system on the Faunos forums via http://FaunOS.com.
It allows you to install via usb even when your bios doesn't provide that feature. Check the minimum requirements on the web site.
Best of luck....

I have a Macbook pro 2009 with Snow Leopard. Which system can I install without running into complicated problems which I will not be able to solve by myself- a person with limited problem solving abilities. (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, Yosemite?)
It will make it easier to help you w/ your problem to know the size and RAM installed.
"Yesterday I couldn't update the maps on my Garmin because it said the OS I had wouldn't work"
What OS will your Garmin work with? Funny there was someone else that did that and upgraded to Yosemite and regretted it.
I'd say Lion if your Garmin is compatible.
Both Lion and Mountain Lion are downloadable from the Apple Store:

How to do a clean install without loosing anything
Hi all,
I (foolishly) installed Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard as an update to my existing 10.5.8 Leopard install last year. Ever since I've had a host of small but annoying problems, that no one else seems to be complaining about. (For example in the finder half the time when I right click on a file the pop-up menu disappears after half a second and I have to click and hold to keep it open so I can make a selection.)
I'm starting to wonder if some of the problems I'm having are caused by the upgrade install, instead of a fresh install.
So I'd like to do a clean install of the OS, but it's been so long since I've done that I've forgotten how that works. How can I do a clean install without loosing all my data? Do I have to pull all my data off the hard drive, wipe it clean and start from scratch like you do on a PC, or is there an easier way? (I hope there is an easier way.) If someone could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.I'm starting to wonder if some of the problems I'm having are caused by the upgrade install, instead of a fresh install.
I did an upgrade install on my old MacBook Pro, and it worked just fine. The key is that the system has to be in good working order when the update is applied... if there are minor problems, those problems can be magnified by an upgrade.
Of course, this may not be your problem... have you checked all your software and hardware for compatibility with Snow Leopard? One site that you can use, though it's by no means comprehensive, is:
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
So I'd like to do a clean install of the OS, but it's been so long since I've done that I've forgotten how that works. How can I do a clean install without loosing all my data?
Unfortunately, there's no easy way to do a true clean reinstall. In a nutshell, here's what you need to do:
1) Back up all your data. Make sure you've got application serial numbers stored somewhere!
2) Now back up all your data in another place. If you don't have two copies, you won't have any backups after the next step... the backup from step 1 becomes the original, and a poorly-timed drive failure would ruin you.
3) Reboot from the Mac OS X install disk (SL disk in this case)
4) Erase the hard drive with Disk Utility
5) Install the system
6) Update everything to the current version via Software Update
7) Install any apps you need
8) Update those apps if necessary
9) Reconfigure anything that needs it (network settings, appearance preferences, etc)
10) Copy +only documents+, no settings files, from your backup, preferably manually rather than with Migration Assistant (which can sometimes copy more than you might want it to).
That's about it! For assistance with any of those items, just say the word. -
I had iPhoto as part of iLife 11. I recently did an erase and install on my Macbook Air and without a CD drive I'm unable to reinstall. How can I install without having to repurchase all of the apps?
Do you have access to another Mac with a disk drive? If so you can do it in one of two ways:
1 - on the Mac with the optical drive launch Disk Utility and make a disk image of the iLife 11 disk. Connect the two Macs together and transfer the disk image to your MacBook Air. Mount the disk image and install from it. I have my iLife disks saved that way for quick and easy reinstall when necessary.
2 - connect the two Mac together so you can access the MBA from the Mac with the disk drive. Insert the iLife disk, and install from the second Mac to the MBA. -
Looking to run windows on my MBPro through Bootcamp or Parallels, but would like to use a downloaded Windows 7, is it possible to install without the Windows Disc?
Need to set up a workstation on my MBPro that will only run on Windows. Im willing to use Bootcamp or Parallels to see what works best. Need to get this set up this week to enable working from home on my MB - rural and hoping to buy Windows 7 online - am I able to get windows working through either bootcamp or Parallels without the actual Windows disc? Bootcamp set up guide calls for a disc.Welcome to Apple Support Communities
First, the answer to your question is yes, it IS possible to install Windows in Parallels without a disc, using an .iso image file.
Boot Camp since OS X 10.8 also installs Windows without a disc: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4889551?tstart=0
Parallels has complete documentation, series of forums, and a knowledgebase. You can also download the current release of Parallels 9 and try it for free for a few weeks before you decide to purchase it.
The Parallels Desktop for Mac product page: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/
The Desktop for Mac forums: http://forum.parallels.com/forumdisplay.php?58-Parallels-Desktop-for-Mac
Documentation: http://www.parallels.com/support/desktop-virtualization/desktop/#c12970
The Knowledgebase for Desktop for Mac: http://kb.parallels.com
The primary difference between a Boot Camp installation and a Parallels installation is that in the Boot Camp installation, you're installing Windows into a separate partition on your internal mass storage device (hard drive or SSD) and then rebooting your Mac directly into Windows.
In Parallels, you're always running OS X on the Mac and Parallels is running a Windows virtual machine.
Not to get too technical here, but it is also possible for Parallels to run an installed Windows Boot Camp partition as a virtual machine. If you're evaluating system performance with a trial copy, that might be the way to go, because you only have to install Windows once on Boot Camp as a dual-boot system, then install Parallels Desktop and run the Boot Camp partition as the virtual machine.
There is a performance difference between the two, with the Boot Camp Windows installation being faster, but without the convenience of running both Mac and Windows applications simultaneously offered by Parallels. Sometimes that convenience outweighs a performance hit.
I can't give you more Mavericks and Parallels 9 specifics, because I'm currently running Windows 7 with Parallels 7 on OS X 10.8.5. Parallels 7 will not run on OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
I've been using Parallels (to run a few old rarely-used WIndows applications with features that would require a steep learning curve and major expense to purchase and learn a similar Mac app) occasionally since Parallels 3 and Windows XP. With each new release of OS X, each new release of Parallels, and each new Windows release, there are ALWAYS 'early adopter' bugs that get worked out over time.

Do I have to buy Lion or snow lepoard or is there a way to updated from OS X 10.4.11?? I have a new ipod that will not work without the ne itunes, but the new itunes will not install without a newer vesion of Max OS X. Help please
Need to know your Mac model. If it's a PowerPC, the max OS is Leopard 10.5.x. If it's an Intel procesor, you can upgrade to Snow Leopard (for $29) & later to Lion.

When Creative Cloud updated a few days ago (Win7) it reported I had no installed apps.
In Lightroom I keep getting messages that a new version is available. Installed it from CC and it installed without error, CC shows I installed it, but it simply fails to run.
How do I get CC to find apps installed under the previous version?
And how do I get Lightroom CC to run?
PeterI still don't know how to get CC to find that I have Photoshop CC installed, but running Creative Cloud, going to Preferences and signing out, then signing in again got Lightroom CC to work.
Since Photoshop CC is still working despite apparently not being installed things are now OK, at least for the moment. But I'm not feeling at all happy with Adobe. -
HT6601 Why has this update been installed without my knowledge?
Why has this update been installed without my knowledge? Why wasn't I given the opportunity to refuse the update? Isn't this update meant to stop this unauthorised access to my computer? Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?
So what are your preferences set as regarding updates?
And, are you running ML as shown in your profile?
And, I downloaded and installed this update because there was a possible security issue; however, I have all automatic software update checks and downloads turned off, so i downloaded it manually as it was critical to install it as long as you are using the internet.
Has this given back door access for ASIO, NSC, MI6 to my computer?
Why would you suspect that? -
Updates Install without user intervention
Hi All,
I am currently using WSUS and GPO's to push updates to our Windows 2008 R2 Servers. We just began doing this within the last couple of months and have created the GPO to "auto download updates and notify for install". The only other
relevant setting is "reschedule Automatic updates scheduled installations" is set to 15 minutes. Based on our setting of "notify for install", I would not expect this setting to have any effect.
Now twice in the last week, individual server administrators have been working on their servers, rebooted for whatever reason and then they report to me that Windows Updates are installing without their approval. Anyone have any ideas how this could
happen?
Thanks"I'm absolutely sure they didn't either. That's my exact point. The user does not "initiate" an installation of downloaded updates when the system is shutdown/restarted from the Start Menu -- it happens automatically since Windows 7 SP1."
If this is the case it explains what's happening and I have to stop this. What settings then can I use to install the approved updates only if the sys admin initiates it?
There are two ways to approach this:
Configure the WUA to "Notify for Download" (AUOption='2'). As a result, the sysadmin will need to perform two tasks: [1] Download the updates (at which time the Install Updates and Shutdown consideration is in effect, and then [2] Install the updates when
desired. This implies planning in advance to allow for the download time, and then planning for the installation event.
Use the Command Prompt to reboot the server: SHUTDOWN /R /T which will completely avoid the installation of any updates already downloaded.
Personally I would offer this argument for consideration: Why is a sysadmin rebooting a server without consideration for the fact that updates might be pending installation? Most organizations I know
only restart servers as a function of installing updates, usually during scheduled maintenance windows. Any other activities that require a system restart are deferred until that scheduled maintenance window.
A corollary to this is also: Why is a sysadmin unfamiliar with patch state of the system they're responsible for?

[Solved] pacman see's a tarball that I installed without pacman??
Okay, before the "you need to use pacman for that" comments begin, I've aparently been doing things the hard way. I finally read up on the ABS. Been putting it off because I thought it was only for making new packages to add to the database. If it isn't in pacman, then I went straight to the AUR. Couldn't find it there, I haven't installed it yet, until yesterday, when I took a tarball that I had for TeamViewer7, unpacked it, and ran it outside of pacman.
Well, I've got a better grasp on ABS now, so I've already taken the liberty of clubbing myself on the head. But, funny thing. I typed pacman -Qm and to my surprise, there sits TeamViewer7. So.... pacman saw my install without running pacman?? I suppose it's possible that I tried to install through pacman with an AUR package but it was giving me problems so I scrapped it and installed my tar file. Just curious why it's showing up on pacman.
Last edited by spottedgeckgo (2013-02-15 00:10:04)Found it, thanks everyone. I didn't think to use the query tool, still kind of new to pacman. I dug through the man page real quick to find the info that I needed:

Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists
Can I uninstall and install without loosing play lists
Your iTunes folder (normally under ~/Music/iTunes) contains files that tell iTunes what you have in your library, playlists, genres, ...These database files have extensions of .itl and .xml. Deeper in the iTunes folder you have the actual media (movies, songs, tv shows).
Uninstalling iTunes and then reinstalling iTunes should not impact your iTunes library. It will change iTunes settings like window size, if you have the sidebar turned on, and the like. I do recommend you have a backup of your iTunes folder but at least save copies of your .itl and .xml files.
Your question is a bit cryptic so I'm guessing at your actual question. Good luck. -

I wonder if archlinux would be installed without the network. Sometimes the sever cannot link to the internet,but just provide services for LAN. We have to reinstall the server system when it appears some problems such as in a factory, but under the condition of non-network, so may I use the CD to reinstall system? Thanks!
if you absolutely must update when offline then the only real way to do this is to take a snapshot of the main repo's & store them on a local server/pc that has nfs/samba or sshfs etc.
If all you want to do is install arch on another pc then make sure you have the latest install media then copy your cache & db's to a usb drive & on the new pc work through the steps until first upgrade then mount your usb flash to /var/cache/pacman/pkg & copy over the new DB's from the thumb drive -
I recently noticed that I have some plugins installed in my Firefox that I didn't even know I had. I remember accepting MS Silverlight and Adobe Flash, but I can't remember ever saying yes to Google Update and the two versions of Ubisofts Uplay plugins. One which I disableled now and made me write this complaint. I assume these plugins got installed in Firefox when I installed related programs. However I never got notified that this was happening. I didn't even know I had the first Uplay plugin installed which had a big security flaw. Which is now disabled by defalt from your side. I have better things to do than to check which plugins are magically installed on Firefox.
My question is why is some plugins installed without Firefox notifying the user that it has been modified? In my view a browser should not make changes without notifiying the end user, and Firefox should not trust that other programs do that.
A small related question is why there is no good way to remove a plugin it completely from firefox? Why is there no button that I can click that erases it like it is on addons. I don't want to risk plugins activating again when firefox updates or I reinstall. When your support suggestion is to manually edit the registry then it is clearly not good enough.You should be able to see the file path of all plugins including plugins that are blocklisted by looking in the pluginreg.dat file in the Firefox Profile Folder.
You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
