Is it possible to reinstall OSX 10.5 without loosing any application that is already installed?

Hi,
    So I have endnote, office installed on my macbook. And it is out of space (6 GB left out of 120 GB). And I can not locate where the space is eaten up. I want to reinstall the OSX without loosing the data and get the space back. Is there any way of doing this? Thank you.

It IS possible by doing an Archive and Install http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
BUT be aware that archive and install takes up the most space of any installation of OS X because it saves room for a previous system folder. The 6GB you have free is probably not even big enough to do archive and install. Neil is right find out what's taking up that space and then get rid of or move some files off to external storage.

  • Reinstall apex without loosing the applications that you created

    Is there a way to reinstall apex without loosing the applications that I created?
    I have some apex packages that cannot be compiled

    Jules,
    As the site administrator, export the workspaces to files. Then login to each workspace as an admin and export each of the applications to files. (You should already have these backups anyway). If you have static files, images, css, user interface defaults, or themes that you've uploaded into any workspace you'll need to export those as well.
    After you re-install, reverse the process, starting with installing the workspaces, then install the applications and other components into each worskspace.
    But why do you have to do this? What won't compile?

  • Is it possible to transfer one single App from my iTunes onto my iPad, without losing the Apps that are already installed on my iPad?

    I originally had the app (FilmOn.TV) on my iPhone, so it is backed up in my iTunes on my PC. It's no longer available in the App Store and I would really like to have it on my iPad. When I read up on this, it seems to say that if I sync any apps from my iTunes onto my iPad, that any Apps currently on the iPad will be deleted.
    Can anyone tell me, please, is it possible to bring one single App across onto my iPad, without losing all of my existing ones.
    Thank you in advance.
    Brian.

    Do you think you could email me the Filmon .ipa file? I lost mine the other day, and it would be very handy.

    Hi,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open CS2.

  • Reinstalling Yosemite without loosing any of my files or apps?

    I know the answer to this is probably fairly simple, but can I re-install the OS without loosing any of my images, music, videos, or applications?
    2 question in 30 minutes, almost feels like spamming this place with uselessness.

    that was my alias wrote:
    Okay, done it.
    I wanted to see if reinstalling Yosemite would fix it.
    It didn't, and Apple really needs to hurry up on that major update that's been due for at least 3 months.
    Fix what? Why do you think an update is "due?"

  • I'm trying to use Internet recovery feature to reinstall osx lion how do I go about that?

    How do I use Internet recovery feature to reinstall osx lion?

    Restart with the COMMAND+OPTION+R keys pressed and held until you see a spinning globe. This boots into Internet Recovery and the Apple servers. You can then download/install the most current version of OS X that was pre-installed on your Mini.
    To restart into the Recovery HD, press and hold the COMMAND+R keys until you see the Apple logo. This boots into Recovery Mode from your internal drive's Recovery HD. You can then download/install the most current version of OS X that is installed on your Mini.

  • Is it possible to change the first page of a web application that was built using the UI?

    Hello Community
        Using Sharepoint 2010 Server and the UI I built and application and would like
    to continue building the web application using the UI.
        The application's first page was built using a Blank Site template and
    the subsequent subsites were built using the Team Site template.
        In retrospect the first page should also have been built using a Team Site template.
        It may be unnecessary to make to delete the application
    and create the first page as a Team Site and then have to create all of the
    subsites (Team Sites) all over again.
        As a solution to prevent deleting the whole application and creating application
    with all of the subsites all over again whether it is possible to do any of the
    following:
        - Convert the Blank Site page into a Team Site page which would allow
    me to leave all of the subsites as is.
        - rename the Blank site page which would in effect would be renaming the application
    then create a new Team Site page which would be essentially creating a new application and
    then adding all of the subsites contained in the renamed application that has the first page
    as a Blank page.
        And if is possible to add, copy or move the subsites from existing sites to a new Team Site
    page, how do you add, copy or move the subsites from one application to a diffent application?
        Thank you
        Shabeaut

    Hi Shabeaut,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to change the template of the root site without creating the susites in another web application.
    I recommend to export all the existing subsites and import them to new web application.

  • Is a password required to format or reinstall OSX with or without disks?

    I'm worried about someone formatting or reinstalling my MacBook Air if it gets stolen so that I can't use iCloud to track it down. Is it possible to do any of this without my password? If so what safeguards can I use to prevent a format or reinstall without my permission?
    Thanks

    Using "Find My Mac", you can lock the system, rendering the system unusable without being unlocked at an Authorized Service Center, at which time it would be hoped that the center personnel follow procedure and contact the registered owner before unlocking.
    However, locking the system has one bad side effect. It prevents the owner from using Find My Mac to perform a location sweep, as it depends on the thief to use the guest account to sign on the internet, which he won't be able to do if the system is locked.
    I think the best bet is to decide how long you try and use the locating function, then resort to erasure and locking at some point.  Yes, the info will be lost, but that is one whopper of a reason to have a good backup regemin.

  • Is it possible to reinstall the System Preferences without reinstalling Lion?

    My System Preferences application works fine, except for the Network panel.  When I try to start Network the system essentially hangs, i.e., I get the spinning color wheel and I can do very little else without large delays.  All other panels work as expected.  I have tried this many times through numerous reboots and power cycles.  the problem first appeared last Saturday when I plugged in an ethernet cable for the first time in several months; ethernet had previously work fine.  So, can I reinstall System Preferences without reinstalling Lion in its entirety?  I have a 2007 Macbook (white) that cannot be upgraded to Mountain Lion.

    Yes, I did too the first time. These improvements creep up on us.
    Stephanie, I just responded to another posting of yours with a Time Machine question. Multiple postings divert resources and you may end up with contradictory information.
    An install from the (grey) 10.6 disk will not erase your data. However, if you are using a TM backup that will write over everything and current data will be lost.
    As I understand your two posts, I suggest install the operating system from the 10.6 disk.
    Copy what data you can to your external hard disk.
    Restore from the TM backup.
    A restore from the Time Machine backup as I say will delete everything you have and replace it with the backup you select (depends on date). You can then transfer any files you copied to the hard disk if these are needed.

  • I am trying to reinstall osx but I do not know my email address I installed it with from the start so I can't reinstall it . Please anyone help me ?

    ??

    What Mac Model (year, type)?
    What version of OS X are you installing?
    What, exactly, do you do when you try to install the OS?
    What, exactly, happens?
    If you are upgrading an existing OS installation to Mavericks, then no email addresses should be required.
    If you are installing Mavericks clean on a blank hard drive, no email address is required.
    You may need to enter the email address that you used as your Apple ID to download Mavericks from the Mac App Store, and you may need it to log into your iCloud account and other Apple services when setting up a brand new Mac.
    You really don't know what email address you might have used? You've tried every email address you've had in the last couple of years...?

  • Following Windows Update, Photoshop elements 10 editor fails to start.  Can I Uninstall and then reinstall without loosing any catalogues?

    Using Windows 7 Home, and until today have had no problems.
    Windows deleted a whole load of files and now I have problems opening Elements editor.
    Is it safe to simply uninstall Elements and then reinstall?

    Thanks Jeff.  I will install from disc 2 but presumably first i need to uninstall my first attempt (from Disc 1).  However, will uninstalling the product use up one of the licenses as I would like to install on two computers and I don't want to use up both licenses on the same computer.  I have read on this forum about the need to de-activate the program before uninstalling but some clarification on what "de-activating" actually does would be welcome.  Could someone please confirm the steps I need to take to solve this problem.  As I understand it I need to 1) de-activate the first incorrect install (from disc 1), 2) uninstall the product and 3) re-install using disc 2 and then disc 4.  It seems discs 1, 3 & 5 are not needed for my install of Photoshop Elements 10 and Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.
    Following these steps will use up one of my licenses (hopefully not both) and I can then install the programme on my desktop for my second license.
    Comments / suggestions welcome and appreciated.  Thanks

  • My PC broke down, is it possible to still upgrade the ios without loosing everything on the phone?

    Hello,
    My PC broke down. So my old Itunes (mp3s) and what not are now only on my phone and not my pc. Im affraid that if i try to upgrade my phone i will losse everything on the phone, music,photos and all that.
    Is there some way to "restore" itunes from the phone?
    I really want to upgrade my ios but im affraid to loose everything (loosing the music is not the end of the world, but everything else like contacts, photos and that stuff i really dont want to loose.)
    Any help or tricks to avoid this would be really great.
    Thank you.

    What you need to do is access your backup of your computer and restore it on a new computer.
    Other than that you can buy a program for the computer that copies files from the iPhone to your computer. Use google to search.

  • Is it possible to extend volumes with DFS without taking any resources offline?

    I am running two Windows 2008 R2 servers (hosting DFS) within a VMware 4.1 environment. From the VM side of the house additional space was allocated. My question is: Can I simply expand my volume using the Disk Management's GUI to extend the drive (of course
    without interruption of DFS)? I have done this many times, but never when DFS is running on the volume. Thanks.

    No, I have not extended the volume. I just want to know if I can extend without taking DFS offline. I did some searching but did not find anything. Thanks for the reply.
