Installing from Original Media

Hello all. I recently bought a Mini to use as a small web server. I would like to install the copy of iLife that came with the Mini on my iMac (iMac is currently running iLife 04). I will be deleting the programs from the Mini so there shouldn't be a license problem. I can't figure how to install them from the DVD that came with the Mini.
Thanks!
Eric

Thanks for the help,
with a bit of research i found out that the file in question can be damaged by malware (keyloggers) or by removing certain programs.
It seems like Norton is one of those programs. Interesting info about the Symantec website though, thanks.
I managed to replace the damaged file after a bit of messing around with the security settings on the system32 folder which seemed to fix the error.
However, my wireless router still wasn't working. No idea what the problem was so Factory Restore was the only answer!
All working fine now
Thanks for the help guys.

TS1394 Can't re-install Leopard. Trying to reinstall the OS because computer locks up. It is a 2008 iMac that came with Leopard. Upgraded to Snow Leopard. Tried to archive and install from original DVD that came with iMac. Installation failed, so tri

Computer locks up, so I want to reinstall the OS. I had upgraded to Snow Leopard.
Tried to do an archive and install from the DVD that came with the computer, but that failed.
Tried to do an erase and install, but the install stops somewhere near the end, 13 minutes to go. Tried several times, same result.
Can't reboot from the install disk, it just ejects the disk and I get the flashing question mark.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I think my hard drive is toast. When I boot in single user mode, I get the following text:
CSRHID Transition Driver: start booting in single user... will wait for window server
Then the following text appears, repeating itself over and over, except that the numbers (indicated by "xxxxxxx")
SAM Multimedia: READ or WRITE failed, SENSE_KEY = 0x03, ASC = 0x02, ASCQ = 0x00

Does this indicate a bad hard drive?

Expanding Aperture Set-Up advice; Also is itafe to drag Aperture 2 App to my new (2nd) boot drive in M Pro or best to re-install from original Aperture disc?

1) Both Boot drives in my M Pro are Leopard. Also same - drag or install question with respect to iPhoto, etc apps from the old boot's Applications folder or from the Applic'ns Install DVD... ?
2) Also, my overall plan is to retire the old boot drive soon, keep the 120 gb ssd lean, store recent libraries in other Mac Pro drives with external back-ups in form of 2 vaults per library plus 2 copies of masters, with 1 of each off-site; plus Time Machine in external for non-photo related. Have pretty close to 900 GB of photos, 700 GB of Libraries, all managed ( thinking I better do some serious deleting!) and double that in Vaults. After leaving a 20% margin, I'lll have 2 TB internal storage and 3.2 Tb in 1 good, new OWC external. It's been suggested I partition it in 3 sections: 1) Time Machine, 2) storage, 3) a bootable clone of the (boot drive?) here I'm out of my depth, as you probably already knew! I'd appreciate any advice at all, especially about the bewildering number of RAID solutions, and especially keeping cost in mind - wish I could afford the Maserati solution!
Thanks for your interest and help!

Just a short note on the installation:
Pro apps like Aperture cannot be installed by copying; you will have to run the installer from the original installation media, and I'd also install the iLife apps this way.
The answer to your question with respect to the best choice of disks I'll leave to our hardware experts; if you browse this forum you will find some recent discussions on the best disk solution to be used with Aperture.
One thought so. You are planning to partition your drive to use to partitions for backup: Time Machine and clone. This will allow you to restore your images in case of accidental deletion or other software errors, but it will not help, if your drive fails - and drives will fail some day. It would give you a much better protection, if your backups were on separate drives.

Workflow: AVCHD to Proxy editing (no optimizing), Export from original media. Any disadvantages?

I've been reading AVCHD threads for FCP 7 and now FCP-X for a year or two. I understand the concepts. Now with FCP-X, I don't see any advantages to optimizing media to Apple Pro Res 422 on import. I'd be using the Pro Res Proxy and then ultimately exporting out with the original source files. The Proxy files will make editing fast, the export from source files removes any chance of generation loss, and not optimizing to Pro Res 422 at import will save a ton of backup space over the years. I realize the final export may take a bit longer from the raw AVCHD files vs. from Pro Res 422 media (how long I don't know yet).
Based on this scenario, any good reasons as to why I should be also creating the Apple Pro Res 422 files? Am I missing anything?
Thanks,
Dave

Questions:
1. When you are ready to export, you MUST switch the playback to Original Material so FCP-X knows not to export with the Proxy files? I've seen posts implying this might be true and also that FCP-X will know to export using the source files and not Proxies.
No. You don't have to do this. Playback is just that, playback. When exporting, FCP X will not use transcoded media as the source. You do of course need to have the original source available/on line for FCP X to access. However, switching back and forth is a simple and quick operation so even if you did have to,
2. Once I set up a new Event and point it to the original source files and create the Proxy files, can I assume that since the Proxies are created, FCP-X won't need to reference the source files again until export time? If this is the case, I can easily work on my laptop's internal drive without lugging around an external drive until I'm finally ready to export.
Yes, this is true. You can either do the method you described (copying the event to/from external to internal drives), or have the event on your laptop with the original source media on the external drive. Proxy media would be generated and stored in the Event folder (on your internal drive) while source media remains on the external drive. Just don't select 'copy into event folder' when importing the source media.

To use "migration" or install from original disks

I'm setting up my new MacbookPro - OS Leopard.
My desktop machine is a MacPro - OS Tiger
Is it better to use the "migration" utility on the MacBookPro to bring in Final Cut Studio . . . or to simply install the applications from the orginal disks?

To emphasize what Jim said:
*NEVER migrate Studio applications. Clean install is really the only way to get a reliable and stable system.*
It simply not a good idea due to all the different components that are sprinkled throughout the OS.

SSD Drive on HP G60... won't install from recovery media (Vista)

I bought a new SSD .. Intel 501 series. When I try to install OS via the recovery media, it errors with "Recovery data is missing. Please use recovery media to restore your system." Why?
I have tried installing Win 7 on the same machine and it works fine. I just don't have another valid key for 7, so I want to use the OS that came with the machine (Vista)... Anybody solve this problem? Help is greatly appriciated.

I should add that the recovery media worked fine when I ugraded the HDD to another HDD.... but it's just not working when upgrading to a SSD

Re-installed from original disks

I re-installed to the original default settings. At startup, I first get a "world" icon, then I get the "file with blinking ?" and then finally the "Apple" and then it starts. Am I doing something wrong in the re-install? Why do I get these icons? Also, the page for user name and password for login no longer appears. It goes directly to the opening page with the HD and other icons.
Please help.

Open the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences and set your hard disk as the startup disk.
Also, the page for user name and password for login no longer appears. It goes directly to the opening page with the HD and other icons.
Turn off automatic login in the Accounts pane of System Preferences.

Drivers will not install from original disk

Ok, so i have a early 2008 MBP, which i just installed Boot Camp on. After a tedious install of windows, I got it to work, now to have the drivers get messed up. What happens is it will start installing the Drivers and then usually (it stops at different times) will get to the audio drivers before it just spins the disk for about a second then stops, then spins it again, and repeats this process infinitely or until I turn off the computer. The disk will not eject, and boot camp install will not end. Can you help me get past this, because I really would love to finish the install! As i said the farthest it has ever gotten is the Audio drivers which is where it usually stops but sometimes it will stop earlier than that, but Audio is the most problematic because it has never been able to go past that.

Manish, thanks for your help.
Tried similar in Windows 7 with no effect. Also tried Adobe Creative Suite cleaner tool via http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html It installs ok on my laptop, so doesn't appear to be a location issue, but will not install on my workstation. Manual installation of AAM completes but after typing in user/pass it says 'download error, contact customer service'. Photoshop CS6 beta installed and functioned ok and I had CS4. Tried uninstalling both, same issues. Adobe Lightroom 3.6 is still installed and functions.
I also tried someone's suggestion of installing the trial of something so it would install the Akamai Netsession download manager. This completes and when I launch the AdobeApplicationManager.exe I can see it spawn Netsession which then hangs and can be killed initially, but zombies for a while ( cannot be killed ). Packet trace ( https://twitter.com/#!/DaSpadeR/status/201295684022960128 ) appears to show initial handshake and then nothing. -John Spade

Trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit - setup.exe fails due to msxml3.dll error PDApp message [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154

If anyone is able to solve this they are a genius (or I am doing something very stupid!)
I am trying to reinstall CS5.5 Master Collection from DVD media on Windows 7 64 bit PC but setup.exe fails due to a msxml3.dll error.
Following a big bundle of recent Windows 7 updates, I started getting 'bad image' msxml3.dll error messages when opening any CS5.5 master collection program (Eg Premiere / Photoshop / Illustrator / Dreamweaver). Following advice on some threads here I tried uninstalling and then using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to clean up install, then reinstalling from my original DVD media.
Whenever I try using run setup.exe from installtion disc 1 the installing fails due to 'Missing files'. I have also tried dowloading trial versions and runing setup.exe fro mthe downloaded files but i still get the same message.
I have searched the forum and others have experienced this error but none of the solutions I have found seem to be working for me - as many seem to relate to download installations whereas I am installing from original DVD media (which worked fine before on the same PC)
These are the FATAL messages from the PDApp log
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] PIM - Failed to Create XML instance : DOMDocument40 ADXML::initWithXMLPath Error:80040154
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Could not initialize ADXML object
12/11/2014 15:29:27 [FATAL] Setup - Unable to initialize. Error parsing setup.xml file
The PDApp troubleshooting seems to indicate that this is caused by error in downloads but I am getting it with both original media DVD and downloads.
I have also tried using my logon (which has admin privileges) and under our main admin account - and I get the same errors.
Is a clean install of Windows 7 + CS5.5 my only option?
Any help / info / advice / solutions very much appreciated! I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this out and seem to be getting nowhere.
Thanks.

Thanks for the reply kglad - much appreciated.
I have already tried that option (along with downloading files) as it was one of the solutions mentioned on other threads, but that also failed.
Any other ideas?

In FCPX 10.1.2 how do you edit in proxy mode...and after you are done editing in proxy mode, how do you switch back to original media? I had no problems with old version but complicated with newer version.

In old version of FCPX I could easily edit in proxy mode which i found to be a quicker way of editing...all i did was goto preferences and click on playback tab and change it from original media to proxy...and i could go right into editing, and when i was finished before i would export my project i would switch back to original media...then i would export my project. Now i'm having a hard time accomplishing this on the newer version fcpx 10.1.2. Somebody please help me....thanks in advance!!!

Click the triangle at the top right of the viewer and choose proxy or optimized/original as appropriate.

How can I get credit in Mac App Store for software installed from CD?

So I have purchased iLife '11 and iWork '09 disks. I have had them installed on my MacBook Pro since 2010. The Mac App Store has happily been updating the all the apps for as long as I can remember. However, the MAS doesn't recognize the iLife and iWork apps as INSTALLED. I tried a "fix" to drop a MAS receipt into the individual app's Packages, and it did change the MAS to show them as INSTALLED. However, to test whether the MAS really saw them as something I had purchased and could then reinstall, I deleted the Numbers app.
Now the MAS shows me needing to spend the $20 to get Numbers back. I know I could just dig out the DVD and install it again.
I am thinking of wiping my MBP drive and doing a clean install of Mountain Lion and am just trying to make sure I don't have to buy apps again, and am trying to get around re-installing from original DVDs and going through major time upgrading them through the MAS.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
You cannot get the MAS to recognize the iLife or iWork apps installed from disc and update them. These are two different versions of the apps. Falsifying the disc versions with copies of MAS receipts from other apps will not accomplish this, as it cannot be done. The apps from disc are updated through Software Update until they are at the end of their road. At that point you would need to purchase paid upgrades through the MAS.

Acrobat fasils to open, cannot reinstall from original cd-rom, hsve serial number, stuck

My Acrobat x stopped opening, will not run, on my Windows8 computer. Yet, I cannot reinstall even though I have my original CD-ROM and serial number.
I have always been able to reinstall software in the past but maybe Adobe has locked me out with their licensing hurdles. Anyone know how to get Acrobat installed from original cd-roms and a serial number?

Thanks for responding. This forum is so helpful.From another suggestion, I went into control panel, Install/Uninstall Programs and selected to reinstall Acrobat. Also, I found a fix online called AcroFix.exe which is reported to correct problems loading.Together the problem was fixed.
Thanks,Jeff

Cant Install Tiger From Original Installation Media After Hard Drive Failure.

I have this MacBook:
http://everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/specs/macbook-core-2-duo-2.16-black-13 -mid-2007-specs.html
Hard Drive failed (no boot, nasty clicking sound).
I installed a new hard drive. Tried to install Snow Leopard from a retail disk - it would boot from the disc and I would get partway through the installation before stalling.
After doing research, I realized I needed to install from the original installation media (tiger) and then upgrade to a newer OS.
I dont have the Original installation media, called up Apple - paid their fees, got the 4 installation discs and no pressing C while booting, or pressing the option key will get the computer to boot from that installation disc.
I just get a folder with a ?
I know the drive works fine, because it booted normally from the Snow Leopard disc.
I know the new disc Apple sent is good, because I put it in my other computer (iMac) and saw the installer and was able to open the PDF readme.
Now im stuck - cant reinstall the OS because I cant get it to boot off the disc!
When holding down the C button during boot, I can hear the disc drive making noise - but all i get this that blinking folder with a ?

I could not boot into time machine's external drive. I used my snow leopard disk to install and and then Mavericks from app store. Then migration assistant.
I am thinking about a backup to my backup.
thanks for the help.

I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?

I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?

That's easy.
2 methods:
1. Change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, then restart:
2. Hold down the "Option" key while starting or restarting the Mac. Then chosse the partition that you want to startup from.
The 1st mehtod is the quickest, because you don't have the additional step of choosing the drive. Plus, whatever you have selected in System Preferences becomes the default startup drive.

Tina Hadley did you migrate/transfer your applications over to your new Macintosh? If so this could cause problems with your serial number being recognized. Please run the available uninstallers located in Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installers folder. Once this is done you will also want to run the CC Cleaner Tool.
