Installing X11 without the CD?

Hi, I have an iMac computer (Intel chip). I would like to install X11 and understood I need the CDs for that. Unfortunately I've been looking for it for about a month now and couldn't find it around here (I had a major apartment movement recently).
Question is can I somehow get X11 installed without having the CDs?
Thanks a lot!

The install package that ships with a new Mac purchase is on DVD media and the answer is no.
If you have lost your install package, you need to contact AppleCare with your computer's serial number available and request a replacement.
You need the install package for several very good reasons.
Installing X11.
Running Disk First Aid repair on your boot volume.
Re-installing Tiger and all included software via an Archive & Install or an
Erase & Install if needed or desired.
Installing or reinstalling an individual application included with the install package.
If you ever sell your Mac or give it to a family member of friend down the road, the buyer or recipient will want and need the install package that shipped with your Mac when new even if the compute is upgraded to Leopard or the OS X version after Leopard so keep the replacement install package in a known, safe and easily accessible location.

  • Installing x11 without installing the whole system?

    I did not install x11 when I installed Tiger on my Mac G5. I have now, via a number of updates, moved to version 10.4.10.
    Sadly, when I insert my system install disk it will not let me install x11 without installing the whole system. That is a risky and impractical situation at this point.
    Is there a way to install x11 without installing a whole new system?

    On the Installer Disc One there is an installer named 'Optional Installs.' You can install the X11 software from that package without reinstalling OS X.

  • Is there a way to install X11 without re-installing OSX?

    I cannot find a way of installing X11 without re-installing OSX.
    I've looked on the cd for the installer but with no luck.
    The X11 installer isn't located in the bundled software installer and X11 will not install with the X11 SDK.
    The retail verson of tiger has an optional istall on the disk but it will not work with intel macs. And the X11 download from apple will not work with Tiger (not even in Rosetta).
    I've found the X11 install option when I restart my MacBook with the install DVD inside and am asked to reinstall Tiger. This doesnt do me any good because i dont want to do a fresh install of tiger just to get X11.
    Does anyone know a way around this issue?
    Please Help!

    On the intel Tiger DVD there is no additional software or other software folers or packages. There is:
    Install Bundled Software (which does not contain X11)
    Install OSX and Bundled Software (which requires you to reinstall OSX to Install X11)
    Xcode Tools Folder (which contains Xcode and Xcode extras but no X11 installer)
    And documentation PDFs

    How do I install apps without the  app store

    This is an issue not to be taken lightly. I just upgraded to Mavericks. My two favorite amateur radio apps will not launch because they did not come from the App Store. There must be a way to make them work. Come on, let's have it. Ohh, the apps: DVTool for DStar Radio operation, and echomac for amateur radio repeater connection from a Mac. These are essential amateur radio applications used in emergency radio communications ... ARES.

  • Re-install Photoshop without the disc or registration number

    My computer is starting to run really slow and it consistently freezes up when I run Photoshop and other applications. I want to reset my computer to its factory settings to get rid of any virus or other bad programs that were installed. However, I do not want to lose my PS application. It was purchased, not a free pirated version. But I no longer have access to the registration number or the disc. How can I re-install Photoshop without the number or the disc?

    Yes.
    Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
    However, the real issue is why the program is not working. Did you install anything recently?
    When you tried to re-install from the disk, did you shut off the antivirus program temporarily?
    Have you tried a system restore to a point in time when the program was working properly?

  • Leopard DVD is far away. How to install XP without the leopard dvd?

    ok. Leopard DVD is far away abroad with my sister.
    How to install Xp without the DVD? Is there anyway to get the drivers that are to be installed from the dvd after installing Xp?
    I really need to use Autocad and Rhino on my Macpro, so Parallels or VMware fusion is not an option. I am already using VMware fusion on my Macbook pro, but VMware will not use 4g RAM of my Macpro which means it would be hard to run Rhino.
    By the way, I am planning to buy Windows (I am sooooo ashamed to install that self-messed up OS on my Macpro. but so what,,, Autocad and Rhino do not run on Mac, and I need specifically the two programs). XP with sp2, sp3, or vista. which one is the best option?
    Since my Macpro has only One 2.8GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, there is no need to buy XP professional? (XP home doesn't support multi-processors, and XP Pro does, I guess?)

    VMware Fusion uses only 512 RAM maximum, doesn't it? But you said it will use my entire 4GB RAM but only 2 cores. That's something different from what I've known.
    If fusion really uses 4gm RAM of my mac pro, I don't really have to use Boot Camp. But most people who need to run heavy programs in Windows choose Boot Camp because it's the only way to use a Mac just like a PC, meaning that the XP uses the entire RAM memory.
    XP will only use 2 GB of RAM, no matter how much the system has.
    I just found out that Rhino doesn't really work on Vista. So vista is ruled out.
    Only Vista 64-bit recognizes all system RAM.

  • Installing Programs Without The Disk Drive Icon Loading On Desktop

    Hey,
    I am super anal and don't like any icons on my desktop and I am wondering how, when installing programs, you can install them without the disk drive icon being left on the desktop?
    Thanks.

    Oh, right, sorry, one thing I didn't mention. I DO like to have CDs and DVDs and such show up on the desktop when I (seldomly) have them in my computer.
    So, is there any other way? If I uncheck the CDs and DVDs line then this solves the disk drive icon but also gets rid of my CD icons.

  • How to install Hotfix without the need to administrative rights

    Hello All,
    I have Hotfix in .msu format and want to install on clients without the need to admin privileges and silently using SCCM. 
    For that i have made the batch file to make it silent install, and created the package with batch file, but it prompts the users to enter the credentials. How can i do that ?? Without intervene of administrator and silently.
    Second, there is option while configuring to "RUN as User" or "RUN with Administrator".
    How do you define this??? Specially Run with Administrator?? Which admin account it will use and where it is mentioned in configuration or package.
    Thanks

  • How to install JRE without the registry

    I am on a win2k system. I cannot install the sun 1.4.2 JRE as I dont have sufficient privileges on my comp. Is there any way to install it bypassing the registry?
    Later on I can work by including JAVA_HOME/bin in my path.

    I am on a win2k system. I cannot install the sun 1.4.2
    JRE as I dont have sufficient privileges on my comp.Depends on what you mean by "install".
    You can just copy a JRE directory into some location that you can write to, and run the java there by invoking your_location/bin/java. The JRE itself has no use for the registry, and doesn't care where it's installed. It doesn't even have to be on the PATH: it figures out where it's installed by looking at argv[0] and loads up the environment from there.
    On the other hand, if you are firing off an Internet Explorer or other browser, and somehow expect it to find your JRE for <applet> tags, it can't do that unless you install the JRE into the registry itself.

  • How to install windows without the cd drive?

    Hello,
    I have a 2009 iMac that I want to install Windows 7 on. I have both a Windows 7 iso and a Windows 7 DVD. However, my cd drive is a mess, and upon trying to install Windows 7 from the DVD, the installation failed miserably 3 times at expanding windows files 0%. From there it just freezes for more than an hour and then gives me an error.
    Now, my Bootcamp Assistant has an option to create a windows 7 install disk, but unfortunately it is greyed out.
    My question to you guys: Is it possible to install Windows 7 on the iMac without using the cd drive?
    I am using Lion, if that is helpful. Also, the Windows 7 DVD works fine, as I have already installed Windows on my 2011 iMac from it.
    Thanks!

    I'm in a similar situation. Attending an online university and I need to use Access. But of course, Microsoft doesn't make a Mac version. I can get Windows through the university discount program, but only as a downloadable .iso file and a verification key. My drive works fine, I just don't have an actual CD/DVD to put in there.

  • Upgraded from 10.3 to 10.4.6 - How to install X11 without DVD?

    I originally bought my system G4 powerbook with 10.2 on it. I have done the upgrades and am now running 10.4.6.
    I want to install OpenOffice 2.0.X but I don't own a 10.4 Tiger install DVD.
    How do I get X11? Everone says it's on the DVD but that doesn't help someone who has an older system and upgraded to Tiger!

    Because the only way to upgrade from Jaguar to Tiger is to buy a Tiger DVD (you cannot download an upgrade) that means you must have obtained an illegal copy of Tiger. The Tiger version of X11 is indeed on the Tiger DVD and is not available as a download from Apple. Therefore, you will need to purchase a Tiger package from Apple.
    Assisting someone who has obtained software illegally would be a violation of the Terms of Use of these Discussions. Don't expect any assistance.
    The proper solution is to purchase a legitimate copy of Tiger.
