Lost Apple dvd software after reinstall

After a Lion bad dream, I decided to go back to Snow Leopard.
Only way to do it was to completely erase HD and clean install.
Which I did. All painfull step by step.
Only to find that some marvelous little software I had installed on the HD at purchase time are gone forever.
Like, for instance, the simple Dvd reader app. It was simple. Worked fine. Can't find it anywhere...
Can anybody tell me where to find back all the stuff that Apple had put on my HD at factory that isn't on the dvd's that we buy to reinstall ?
Thank you in advance !

Originally, it came with X.2 or something like that.
I bought Tiger afterwards and last year Snow Leopard.
Do you suggest I should have made the clean install from 10.2 and then all the upgrades ?
Could it still work to use these (10.2) dvds without doing the clean install process ?
Thanks for such quick answers !

Apple Update software clobbers reinstall of iTunes

Hi all,
I am having an issue the has escalated over the last day or so with iTunes. I attempted the upgrade to 7.3 and began to encounter an error in which the Apple Software Update screen would open in iTunes and I would get the Visual C++ Runtime error that has been mentioned in other threads. There were no updates showing in the Update window, but as soon as I closed it, iTunes would not respond and I would have to close the application.
I am now at the point where I have completely uninstalled iTunes and Quicktime to see if that has any effect on the situation. I now get an error message that states "The older version of the Apple Software Update cannot be removed. Please contact your technical support group." Seeing as how I am the technical support group, I am now turning to more wizened advisers for some help on this matter. I have tried renaming the "Softwareupdate.exe" file as well as the file folder "Apple Software Update" to no avail so I am at a complete loss as to what to do next.
Windows XP Pro

This seems to a a problem with the Apple Updater program. If you rename file C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update\SoftwareUpdate.exe to say C:\Program Files\Apple Software Update\__SoftwareUpdate.exe or any thing else the problem seems to go away. Then after iTunes has started you can close iTunes, and return the file to its original name and everything works fine.

Lost CD/DVD Drive after 10.5.8 Update

After updating from 10.5.7 (which had no problems) to 10.5.8 my CD/DVD drive disappeared! System Profiler (under Hardware/Disc Burning) says: "No burning device was found. If you are using an external device please make sure that it is connected and powered properly."
There was a disc in the drive at the time of the update and now I am unable to eject it. If it is relevant the disc is a Windows XP installation disc.
Any ideas what I should do.
---Paul

Well, damned if I know what happened, but I rebooted to get ready for Combo Update and the CD/DVD drive reappeard! It works fine now.
I had rebooted several times after the problem occurred so rebooting wasn't the simple fix.
Sorry to alarm anyone about this problem.

Can't activate my Network Magic software after reinstalling

After a clean installation of Windows 8 Pro I've installed my Network Magic software. After the setup I've tried to activate my legal version but it won't accept a connection to register and to activate. I've found out that Cisco no longer supports Net Magic so activation is no longer possible in The Netherlands. Cisco says that there is no other replacement network tool from Cisco for my WRT 320N and other Cisco devices. Is there any possibility to activate my software of Network Magic on a other way (in the USA or in the register of Windows or Network Magic)? Thx Martin
Solved!
Go to Solution.

One possible reason why the software can't be installed is because of the firewall on your computer or an antivirus software. Try to turn the firewall off or disable your antivirus software temporarily and activate Network Magic again.

Lost music on ipod after reinstall of itunes

I've been upgrading to Win XP from Win ME. Had to start all over back to factory restore. Lost i tunes library, but that was ok because it was on ipod. Re-installed itunes and downloaded upgrade for itunes and ipod. Downloaded/installed fine. Hooked up ipod. Message said ipod was linked to different library, do you want to link to this libray and load play list (or something close to that). Clicked yes...should have clicked no. ipod shows no music in its folders. However, itunes shows over 5 Gig used on the ipod, which was the size of the music folder. How can I undo this and get access to the original misic folder?

Lost all itouch apps after reinstalling PC

I have lost all my apps that I purchased through the app store from my itouch. I had been able to backed up before that point due to system issues.
I had to re-install my system, but copied the itune folder from my documents and copied it back onto my new system setup afterwards. I then synced with itunes, now I have lost all the apps I purchased, is there any way I can get them back?

I then synced with itunes, now I have lost all the apps I purchased, is there any way I can get them back?
Log into the iTunes Store with the account used to purchase them, click the Buy button for each, and confirm that you want to download them again; redownloads are free for applications.

Lost apple store icon after ios7 upgrade on apple configurator

anyone else seeing this issue? running Configurator 1.4!

Hi NevisIPAD,
Did you install any configuration profiles? Sounds like the restriction for "Allow installing apps" is unchecked. When that box is unchecked, the App Store disappears. Fix the restriction and you should be good to go.
Hope this answers your question!

HP MediaSmart DVD Software

I am unable to install HP MediaSmart DVD Software after upgrading to windows 10 which prevents my notebook to read or write from my blu-ray drive.Any help will be appreciated.

In "Device Manager", under "DVD/CD-ROM drives", I see the following:
hp BDDVDRW CH20L
I click on "hp BDDVDRW CH20L", and I see several tabs.
In the tab marked "Driver", we have the following:
Driver Provider:   Microsoft
Driver Date:           6/21/2006
Driver Version:     6.1.7601.17514
Digital Signer:      Microsoft Windows
In that same tab, clicking on "Driver Details" gives us the following:
Driver files:      C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\cdrom.sys
Provider:           Microsoft Corporation
File version:    6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255)
Copyright:       Microsoft Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
Digital Signer:   Microsoft Windows
I think that, back in October 2014, when this Blu-ray issue first came up, I updated the driver. That may be why you see the following different versions :
6.1.7601.17514
6.1.7600.16385 (win7_rtm.090713-1255)
So, how would I update the firmware? To what version should I update the firmware?

After reinstalling system software, Apple Loops won't re-index

I have an odd problem that I really need some help with. I feel like there must be a simple solution, and I'm just missing something obvious.
The other day I had to do an archive and install from my original system disks (10.4.2) and then bring myself back to 10.4.11 (running a dual quad-core G5 here). I had to manually move my audio units and virtual instruments back to my current logic setup and application support folders.
I just went into the Loop Browser, and all of my apple loops have disappeared from the window. The loops exist on various external hard drives, and I normally just drop them onto the loop browser and pick "keep at current location" - then the browser indexes them, and everything is fine.
This is the first time I'm accessing apple loops since I reinstalled the system software (and I do still have the "Previous System" folder that the archive-and-install generates), and I got a blank list in the loop browser. So I tried dragging and dropping a few loop libraries, but to no avail - it appears to index them quickly (taking 1-2 seconds) but then there's still nothing in the browser. I've deleted the old index text files, so that shouldn't be a problem.
Can anyone help me figure out how to get my apple loops to re-index properly?

All of the external HD's are set to "ignore permissions for this volume" so permissions shouldn't be an issue.
Wrong!
this could be the problem...
Permission must be active
Logic studio require license... so require permission
if the external drive as set to ignore permussion logic will never index a folder without ownreship
you need to pay for Apple Loops
they are not free
they are included in Logic Studio or you need to BUY JamPacks as individual DVD expansion...
*External disk with ignore permission are not allowed...*
*The only way is...*
*you need to create a Alias folder of all contents after installing Logic in the original location... than move that folder original on external drive.... and than you must delete de alias suffis on orther tha the folder must have the same permission as original.... It must be located in the same original location*

HT1338 Trying to reinstall hp LaserJet P2035n fails even though Apple says software available.

When I upgraded my Mac Pro to Lion a feature of my LaserJet P2035n went away. The feature was the ability to do manual double sided printing. The feature showed on the printer page but was always greyed out. I have noticed that a recent Mac OS software update included new software for HP printers so I thought I would remove my printer and reinstall hopefully bringing back the lost feature via a new driver.
The printer setup page sees the printer and says Apple has software for it saying "Software for this printer is available from Apple. Would you like to download and install it?" to which I sayd "Download & Install". A new popup window says "Finding Software" then gives me an alert popup saying "The software for this printer is currently unavailable. Please contact the printer's manufacturer for the latest software."
I researched the problem a bit and do find a directory "/Library/Printers/hp/laserjet/P2030Series" there but apparently the installation process won't use it.
BTW I'm running OS 10.7.5 and there are no software updates pending.
Further info: I had similar problems when switching to Lion on our three Macs. We have a Lexmark and Brother printer that wouldn't install under Lion. At the time we called Lexmark and Brother and they each provided a script to completely delete all their software after which I could re-install the printers. HP has not been so helpful.
I'm assuming that the install is failing either due to a permissions problem or something else blocking the installation. Has anyone on this list dealt with the problem and have a solution.
Thanks in advance.
SeaJack16

Futher information: I moved the directory /Library/Printers/hp to Unknown and tried a re-install. It took longer to fail but did fail the same way. Looking in the directory it looks like the driver package is incomplete. To me it means that Apple does have the driver package, it just won't completely install because something is blocking it. The question seems to be, what is that something?

Mike,
If by "still nothing" you mean they are not showing up in the AU manager after reinstalling them....
Im guessing the AU Cache itself is now corrupted so.....
Quit LPX
Open Finder
Press the option key and click "Go" in Finder's menu and select "Library". (This is the User Library and not the System Library and is normally hidden which is why you have to hold down the option key when clicking on Go.... to reveal it in the drop down menu that will appear)
Go to "Caches" dir and remove "AudioUnitCache" dir.
Now Restart your Mac.....
and then Launch LPX and let it rescan your plugins and see if that fixes things....
Fingers crossed...

Clock freezes after using Apple DVD Player

I am having a small and annoying issue with the Apple DVD Player (v 4.6.5). This just started happening recently. Everytime I run a DVD (or video TS file, etc) on the software player-it performs as usual. After quitting the application and choosing to eject the disc, I notice there is a longer lag from when I first used the computer, then the little colored wheel of death spins, and eventually Apple DVD Player closes.
The problem, however, is after the application is closed out, my time freezes in the status bar in the upper right hand corner of the screen. (As I write this it says 1:16 and the time in the apple "date and time" preferences panel of OSX says it's 2:14-which is the real time) If I drag the cursor up to the time status bar in the upper right hand corner, it turns into the spinning color wheel, and back again once dragged out.
Once the computer restarts, the time in the upper right goes back to normal with no spinning wheel (until I open Apple DVD Player and quit out of it again). I know this is not an earth-shattering issue, but it is fairly annoying and abnormal. If anyone has suggestions, please help.

It sounds like you found your answer but I also wanted to mention that this is a known BUG when using DVD Player and the Digital Optical Out of a G5. If you look at activity monitor when the Clock is dead and you get the Beach Ball the SystemUIServer will be listed as not responding. If you Force quit this process everything should start working again. As long as the LoginWindow Process is running the SystemUIServer will restart when needed after the force quit.
HOWEVER, The other part of this bug with Digital Optical Out is that sometimes the LoginWindow Process will also stop responding. In this case a Log-Out is the only way to correct the problem. The third part of this bug is sometimes the Finder also stops responding but a Relaunch will fix that.
As I said it sounds like you found your problem but I wanted to post this incase others out there using the Digital Optical Out read this and don't correct their problem.
Also, If you were using the "DOO" by deleting the .plist will set the DVD player back to SYSTEM falsely making one think the problem is fixed.
Last I know this is a known bug because I submitted it as a bug to Apple and received an e-mail stating they know of this problem already.
