Installation disk missing...

...and I am in what appears to be a dire need to use the Disk Utility on it. Is it possible to make a startup disk with it, without needing the installer?

Hi K' M', Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
Try contacting Apple, hopefully you registered. I think they may replace for a shipping charge. (Any way, much less than repurchase.)

Macbook pro installation disks missing

Missing IDES ECC5 installation disk for SAP Kernel - MaxDB Version

Hi,
Our HQ sent us installation disks for IDES ECC5. We copied them all onto our server and started installation. The system is now informing us that it can't find the SAP kernel information.
I can only assume that we're missing one of the installation disks.
We're desperate to get this installed and it will take another week for our HQ to send through another disk. Does anyone know whether we can download this from somewhere? We have had a look on SAP marketplace but you only seem to be able to download the kernel for Oracle, MSSQL and DB2....no MaxDB.
Additionally, if there is somewhere in Asia we can download this, then that would be better as we are having internet problems when connecting to Europe and the US.
Thanks in advance!
Tristan

Hello Tristan,
This is not the correct forum to post your question.
You was not asked about the database(MAXDB) kernel software.
You need SAP kernel software

And the document from the 'Part I: Planning and Preparation' you will get information that you need the SAP kernel CD & & what is the minimum required version & the reference to the location at the SAP Marketplace to download it, if you don't have the required SAP kernel CD.

In the 'Part II: Installation and Post-Installation' document you will find the the list of the required DVDs for the SAP system-ABAP installation.
-> Are you running the installation of the the 'Central Instance', 'Dialog Instance' or 'Database instance' ?
For the 'Database instance' Installation you need:

I still allow to keep the Photoshop , Indesign and illustrator software in the computer but i can only keep that on a trial of 30 days. In order to use it permanently, I have to activate the Suite. As the phone activation service is no longer available. I try the online activation as mention in the phone message when I tried to call, but is not successful@ as it didn't bring to an activation page. What should I do to activate it or solve the problem?

There should be an option tro activate when you run any of the installed programs.

WRT54G Wireless Missing Installation Disk

Okay, I'm doing this on the computer connected to the main router. The main router is connected to the other XP computer which I had to reinstall everything in. I don't have the installation disk anymore though. I've tried unplugging and plugging the devices and my computer isn't noticing. I am unable to get on the internet on that computer. So, I need to figure out how to download the disk from my computer and bring it up to the other computer. I've went through their customer service thing, attempted to download what they offered, and have not yet been successful. If anyone has any ideas or walkthroughs to get me there I'd really appreciate it.

Don't worry if you have lost the CD...You can configure your router manually...
First Reset your 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
Make sure the Ethernet Light on the Router is ON when you connect a Computer to the Router's Ethernet Port...
If not try to change the Ethernet Port, try changing the Ethernet Cable.
Also make sure Local Area Connection is Enabled under Network Connection.
Also make sure Local Area Connection is set to 'Obtain IP Address Automatically' - Click on the Start button >>> Settings >>> Control Panel >>>Network Connections- Right click on the icon for Local Area Connection and go to properties- On the 'General' tab select 'Internet Protocol TCP/IP' and click on the Properties button- Select 'Obtain IP Address Automatically' and 'Obtain DNS Automatically'.

Dreamweaver CS6: Installation disk won't allow a change in the location of the installation folder

First, I hope the moderators will cut me some slack for making a duplicate posting. The comments below were posted in the "Creative Suites" community. I just noticed that there is a "Dreamweaver" community. I feel the issues I've raised below are more relevant to the latter.
I recently purchased a Dreamweaver CS6 installation disk and have a valid registration code. The Adobe website has recognized this code as valid.
I started-out by having the installation disk install into a folder on a high capacity (0.5 tb) external drive. This was done while my Gateway PC was still working properly. I did a duplicate installation onto this hard drive (into a separate folder) to accommodate any work I wanted to do on a Dell laptop I also own. For a few days things seemed to work ok on both computers. Then the cursor on my Gateway stopped moving. Several changes of mice failed to resolve the problem. I've written-off my Gateway as "dead." However the Dreamweaver CS6 installation MAY (I can't remember) be on a "local" folder on my Gateway and I am concerned I will have trouble installing Dreamweaver on the replacement I've purchased. I understand one is limited to 2 installations. If needed, can I purchase a license for a third installation? And what might that cost?
After turning-off my Gateway I then went to my Dell laptop to try to work with Dreamweaver there. I felt it was best to install on a "local" folder so I deleted all the Dreamweaver software from the folders on my external drive. Unfortunately the installation disk is still "pointed" to the folders on my external drive. To make matters worse I am now getting an error message which indicates I need to install into a folder on the "local" drive of my Dell laptop. But the installation disk won't allow me to change the path. On the installation disk the "path" to my external drive is faded-out and it will not allow me to delete and type-in a new path.
I've spent what, to me, are big bucks on this Dreamweaver disk. It's the only website building software that seemed to get consistently good reviews. However, for me, Dreamweaver is becoming a nightmare! I'm very much of a novice at website building. I don't know how, in the world, I will be able to a) Create something, and then b) Get Dreamweaver to put it onto what is now a blank webpage. I recently got "Dreamweaver CS6 The Missing Manual" and "Dreamweaver CS6 For Dummies." So far I haven't been able to find anything, in either of these two books, which addresses the issues I've raised here.
Somebody--please help!!
Don't know if my screen name will show up. So my name is JACK, near Old Faithfull.

Have you tried calling Adobe Customer service? They can deactivate one of your installations so that you can install and run on a new system. And perhaps they can help with your other problem, or send you to a tech support rep who can.
With regard to your use of DW, I'd strongly suggest that you take advantage of this downtime by learning as much HTML and CSS as you can absorb. Multiple sittings would be helpful. The more you know about those two, the easier DW will be for you when you eventually get it going.

During Windows XP installation, 'Disk Error' shows.

In many other forums and other user experiences as well as the Bootcamp guide written by apple themselves, at one stage of installing Windows XP, normally after selecting the partition in which to install windows, it asks whether to format and into which format. However this does not happen on my Mac. After selecting the partition that was separated using Bootcamp, it does not ask to format but goes on to verify and then copy data into the partition.
A friend also said formatting is essential and the formatting option was included in the step-by-step procedures described by Apple, but this option was not present or shown in my installation. After the data was copied, it restarted the computer after completing the data copying and informing the user that the computer would be restarted. It then rebooted the same way as it did when I clicked 'Start Installation' on Bootcamp which restarted the computer and came to the start screen that displayed 'Press Space to boot from DVD' just as it did before. Pressing space opens another list where the first option is to press space to install Windows XP, other options show to boot something else and last option to reboot. If nothing is pressed, it jumps to another screen displaying the words 'Disk Error. Press Any key to restart' which happened every single time I tried to install windows and the only thing that I had realised was missing was the formatting of the partition that the Windows XP installation disk should have prompted which did not.
I had also tried accessing 'Disk Utilities' in the Mac OS X and erasing everything in the Bootcamp partition and putting it in FAT format whilst the partition for windows remained under 32 GB. However all attempts resulted in the same 'Disk Error' and never completed the XP setup.
Can someone please diagnose what problem this could be and suggest any possible solutions in order for me to successfully install my Windows XP Service Pack 2 on to my FAT32 format partition of 30GB. I believe it is related to the formatting issue.
Thank you very much.
Chris

Hi Chris and welcome to Discussions,
what exactly is the error message you get when you try the "Format C: /FS:FAT32" command ?
Sadly it is indeed so that a whole batch of Windows XP CDs are 'missing' the reformat option. Don't know why that is so.
frederic1943 has described the correct procedure in this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2071417&tstart=105
Have you waited long enough for the drivers to be loaded ?
To Antonio: Reformating the BootCamp Windows partition through the WIndows installer is indeed a neccessity.
When using NTFS as file system for WIndows (neccessary for Vista and Windows 7) it is a must since OSX cannot write to NTFS by default.
With FAT32 also, since the BootCamp Assistant only does some sort of 'preformating'.

Help - need Adobe Creative Suite 4 Web Premium Mac OS Installation Disk 2

Hey there,
Hoping someone can help me out on here. I recently moved and purchased a new computer and went to reinstall CS4 only to find that I am missing installation disk 2. As Adobe no longer supports the media for this, they reccomended that I contact someon ont he Adobe Forums who might be able to assist.
Just need the Application Disk 2 for the Mac OS of CS4.
Thanks!

Contact Adobe Technical Support. Installation problems for current versions of the suites and applications are resolved without charge. Despite the fact that 16MB of video memory is beneath stated requirements, it is unlikely that this particular shortcoming is what is causing your problems.

Real problem with installer disk

I had my laptop bag stolen so I went to install my Logic Studio on my macbook pro but the disk was in my case with my logic pro 7 dongle. My Logic 8 was an upgrade. I got a new dongle from apple yesterday but apple tech was useless in trying to find out weather I could get a replacement Installer disk. I have all the Jam pack and audio content disks, my serial my suport id. Anyone know of a download (not a torrent or anything like that) or can I migrate the package from my G5.
Getting desperate.......

Just an idea can I install it from my g5 or clone or migrate the .pkg........
Not sure if you can migrate/clone the .pkg ,try it....I don't know ....but I'd suggest you call Apple again,if they send you an XSkey why not sending you a replacement disc for the one you're missing.

System installer disk

i have heard about using your system installer disk to "clean-up" your mac. i have two disks, is it the first or second?
and is this the correct route:
1. start mac using disk: (do i insert the disk as the computers turning on.)
2. run app and check/repair permissions: (will this fix any probs automatically or do i have to go in and do it manually)
anything i missed?

Hello and welcome to Apple Discussions,
Using your system installer disc, you can use Disk Utility to Verify/Repair disks as well as system permissions. With the machine powered on, insert the first disc. Then, restart your Mac holding down the "c" key until you see the apple. It will now boot from the disk and you can utilize Disk Utility via the Utilities menu. I hope this helps! Here is a website that show you visuals.

Bootcamp: installer disk could not be found - but MAC desktop can see it

Hi,
I have an iMac intel - 17" 1.83 GHz that I put together from a box of junk. Mechanic friend took it all apart, don't ask. Installed a new hard drive of 1 terrabyte. The internal optical drive does not work so we got a new Iomega optical drive that works just great.
We want to run Windows XP Pro on this iMac - and after updating all of the software in Mac (OS 10.5.8), and running Bootcamp set up assistant, partitioned the drive to 500 GB MAC; 500 GB PC, got this error message saying that the Windows XP installer disk could not be found.
The disk appears on the desktop. I can click on it and see all of the pc files in it. I clicked on a couple of the files and got a simple text document of gibberish. But the set up assistant in Bootcamp still doesn't recognize the disk. So I have been unable to install Windows.
The disk itself is a burned copy from my university that gave me a full license for Windows XP Pro, SP 3. It's 32 bit. And it shows up as an install disk when I pop it into a PC.
I've run Disk Warrior and Disk Utilities to repair permissions and to check that the new hard drive is ok...and it's all set.
I wonder if this is because of the external dvd drive that I'm using. I can use my Macbook Pro and get the imac into target mode. But don't know if this will have me continue to bark up this tree.
Has anyone had success with the same kind of problem that I'm not facing? Thanks much in advance.
Sheila

I too got a version of Windows 7 64 Professional from the the Microsoft Software Distribution Network through Uni. I burnt the iso file on a PC to a DVD with power ISO and then tried to use it as the install disk. After some umming and arrhhing Mac OS X recognised it, the installer started, allowed to select language etc, then suddenly a box appears announcing that a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing.
I have rang up apple support and they are pretty much saying it is a disc quality issue, but I have checked all the disc drive regimes and permissions and they all seem to be fine. I have also done it with multiple brands and a number of times, everytime the same message returned. All the latest firmware has been downloaded. One thing that was briefly mentioned by the guy at Apple support was that there was the possibility that it may be the "logic board". So the previous poster may be right. They said this was unlikely, but everything is possible. The drive works for everything in the OS X side though, so has pretty much stumped me and the Apple support people. I think the only option is to take it to an Apple shop and let them see it for themselves, not really an option for me as I need the Mac Book to write my dissertation, due in about three weeks so can't afford to lose it.
Sorry if I have slightly "jacked" the thread, but the issue sounded pretty close to mine. Any resolution or insight into what might be the issue would be amazing.

Duncan

HT1338 With original installation cd missing, how do you reset OSX 10.6.8 (originally OSX 10.5) to factory settings??

With the original installation cd missing, how do you reset a computer (with OSX 10.5 upgraded to OSX 10.6.8) to its default settings?

The machine came with 10.5, those disks are not available anymore from Apple.
You use the $29 10.6.3 white retail disks you get from Apple store online or already have in your possession.
Yes you upgraded OS X 10.5 to 10.6.3 with them, it also contains the entire 10.6.3.
When you "upgraded" your Applications and User accounts folders remained while only OS X 10.5 folders was replaced with 10.6.3 folders.
So if you hold the c or option key down while booting from the 10.6.3 disks, you can use Disk Utility to erase the entire drive and reinstall 10.6.3 only, like a brand new machine.
