Lost Installation DVD 1 - Replacement Options

Please tell me how I can replace my Macbook Software Installation DVD #1 since I have lost it. I have DVD #2, but can not find #1. What is the cost to get another one. Can I do it online since I am disabled? It's much easier that way.
Thanks,
Robert

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You'll need to call AppleCare Support. They can provide you with a new set of disks. In the past, they've charged about $60 for a new set. You may also be able to go into an Apple retail store and order a set, but Apple does not provide support online or via e-mail. Apple uses a outside relay services for inbound and outbound TDD calls. Anyone calling Apple via a relay service should ask the relay operator to press zero to reach an operator.
As Alex mentioned, you won't be able to buy a retail copy of Mac OS X for Intel at any price (unless you want to buy the "universal" version of 10 client Mac OS X 10.4 Server for $499).

  • Lost Installation DVDs

    Hi,
    I bought Logic Studio 8 from Dubai, UAE on 26th July, 2008. Now I'm in india and while travelling back to India, I lost the CD pack with the installation DVDs.
    I use a MacBook Pro now and I bought an iMac and I want to transfer the installation to my new machine.
    How do I get the installation files back? any chance? or I'll have to buy a new Logic Studio?
    Please help me out.
    Cheers,

  • Lost Installation DVD

    Hello everybody.
    As the title reads i have most probably lost my Tiger OSX installation DVD that came with my macbook i bought in july....i need it to install X11 and to be able to reinstall the system in case anything goes wrong...
    Is there any way to obtain a new copy other than buying a new one?
    I heard that the copies that come with intel procs machines are bound to the machine...is that true?
    Thanks!

    You can order a new one from AppleCare (1-800-275-2273.)
    Yes, the installer discs that came with the computer are specific to that model. There will not be a universal OS X installer for both Intel and PPC Macs until the release of Leopard. Currently there is no "retail" version of Tiger for Intel Macs.

  • Replacement - Tiger Installation DVD

    My Tiger 4.8 Installation DVD set (MacBook Intel) was stolen. I did register my hardware and software with Apple (11/2006).
    Other than buying another license of Tiger, what are my options to get it replaced? I don't really want to fork out another € 122,- for Tiger when Leopard will come out in 4 months.
    I am having some system problems and would need to re-install Tiger.
    Thanks.

    Don't buy the Tiger retail disk. It will not work on your Intel Mac, and does not include iLife or the Hardware diagnostics. Call AppleCare and ask for a replacement of the original disk. They will charge you, but much less than buying the retail Tiger. They will need the serial number of the computer so they can send the correct version.

  • Have server serial #, lost install DVD. Options?

    Call Apple. Their support folks can ship replacement media for a nominal fee.

  • Mac mini ejects installation DVDs at startup

    Hello,
    I have a Mac mini core duo 1.66 Ghz with 2 GB, Superdrive, its is running Tiger will all updates and firmware. I decided to upgrade to Leopard. The computer is booted up, I insert the installation DVD for Leopard, double click on the intall icon, asks me to click on reboot. When rebooting the DVD is ejected and it boots from the HD normally. I tried pressing C on the keyboard at boot up and the DVD still gets ejected. I tried from System prefs the disk startup as the DVD, but the same. I thought it was my Superdrive so I bought a replacement, a Pioneer, it came with a Panasonic one, and the same thing. So I have ruled out the Superdrives. I tried the Tiger installation and the same thing, it ejects it as well. I tried the DVDs on other computers and they are not ejected, the installer runs. HELP!!!!

    I'm having the same problem. I have a mac mini, 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4, running OS 10.3. The CD drive is a Matshita CW-8124, CD-RW/DVD-ROM. I wanted to see if I needed to upgrade firmware prior to installing leopard, but couldn't find any mention of firmware for this system on the apple site.
    The cd ejects on restart. If I put in the cd and shutdown, then boot while holding down the option key, it ejects the cd prior to bringing up the boot option screen. With the boot option screen up, I install the cd, but it doesn't see it.

  • We lost our DVD with distributive of Adobe Photoshop CS3 ( redacted by mod-kglad , 8 license).

    We lost our DVD with distributive of Adobe Photoshop CS3 (<partial license number redacted by mod - kglad>). What can we do for get new one (DVD) or can yousuggest another way for install programme (exclude buying new version like CS6)?

    Thanks, but if you didn't see aboove ("the last one PC with Adobe Photshop CS3 installed in 2008 (with our serial) - chapters "Load e-License..." and "Return e-License..." was not active (in Menu "Help")",look at the screenshoot  ("ps cs3>click help>...") from this PC:
    As you see, there are no any "deactivate" (in Russian it means "Деактивировать") there.
    Read the following answers from http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html, please. It was on 25 oct 2013:
    You are now chatting with Vijay Kanna .
    Vijay Kanna : Hello! Welcome to Adobe Customer Service.
    Vijay Kanna : Hi Ilia.
    Vijay Kanna : Please allow me a moment while I  review your request.
    Ilia: Hello! Ok, I'm waiting.
    Vijay Kanna : I have read your request.
    Vijay Kanna : I will be glad to help you with the information.
    Vijay Kanna : I would first like to inform you that this application you have is a Volume Licensing Product for CS3 for which its not possible to make changes on the license activation seats.
    Vijay Kanna : Usually the Volume Licensing Product will not provide such error as this type of error will only show up with retail (single) user application.
    Vijay Kanna : If you use the correct download link from the licensing account for this particular application or the CDs for this particular application you will not get such errors.
    Ilia: Ok. Where I can download distributive of CS3 (we lost our box with CD or DVD)?
    Vijay Kanna : If the CDs are lost and you have not purchased the application as a download then its not possible to find the download link for this application now as the current shipping version with Adobe is CS6.
    Vijay Kanna : Adobe at the moment only has the CDs and download link for CS6.
    Ilia: It means that we couldn't install our CS3 on new PC? What can we do in this case?
    Vijay Kanna : You will have to locate the original CDs or your next option is to purchase the current version which is CS6.
    Vijay Kanna : Also the CS3 is not compatible on Windows 7 or any other latest OS.
    Vijay Kanna : Is there anything else I can help you with?
    Ilia: Yes? wait a momemt please/ I consult with my boss/
    Vijay Kanna : Okay.
    Vijay Kanna : Are we still connected?
    Ilia: Yes
    Vijay Kanna : Okay.
    Vijay Kanna : Do you have any further questions for me today?
    Ilia: Yes, wait a moment.
    Vijay Kanna : Sure. I will stay online.
    Ilia: My colleague claims that a distribution kit with which we install the program on new PC is copied from lost CD.
    Vijay Kanna : Ilia, the application is not installed this way. Also this error which you say "exceeded allowable activation" is not for a Volume Licensing Product and such error is only associated with the single user application.
    Vijay Kanna : Hence, the installation file you have should be incorrect and for a single user application.
    Ilia: Ok, thanks. We will try to find CD. Good-bye.
    Vijay Kanna : You are welcome.
    Vijay Kanna : Please click again to check with us, if we can be of further help.
    Vijay Kanna : We will be glad to check and help you.
    Vijay Kanna : Thank you for chatting.  Goodbye.
    Chat InformationThis chat session has ended.
    Thank you for contacting Adobe."
    PS: Finaly, we lost our CD or DVD (with box), we have only serial number and bild (was purhased 2008), nothing else. I tried to finding the same as we lost distributive via Google, etc a lot of time, but trere is no success.

  • Downgrading from Lion w/o having SL Installation DVD?

    After two month of using Lion I am so disappointed that I would like to downgrade to Snow Leopard. I bought a new iMAC in Oct 2011 with Lion pre-installed. I know that the mid 2011 iMac model has been delivered with Snow Leopard before Lion was released and published.
    I do not have any SL Installation DVD. Can I buy just a standard Snow Leopard DVD set or do I have to find someone which has the original SL Installation DVD delivered with the mid 2011 iMac model before Lion was released.
    Would be great if someone can provide help. Thanks.
    Regards,

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.
    You will have to purchase a retail Snow Leopard DVD that installs a version of OS X later than the version that was originally installed from the factory. According to my information that was 10.6.6. If you cannot find a Snow Leopard DVD that installs 10.6.6 or later then you will have to order replacement discs from Apple. I suggest you do that anyway because those discs also have the installers for all the pre-bundled software that came with the computer along with the Apple Hardware Test. None of that will be on the retail DVD.

  • At a complete loss. Worried data is gone for good. Trying to fix disk by booting Disk Utility from installation DVD but disk ejects. Help!

    Hello Comunity,
    I'm at a complete loss and I hope you could help me.
    The machine I have is I believe an early 2006 iMac model. (Model identifier 4,1 if I recall correctly).
    Awhile ago I installed Snow Leopard on the machine but have since begun encountering serious problems (but I think it's due to the hardware and it's age rather than the software, Snow Leo was running smoothly) and now the computer won't start - I'm faced with a grey screen and a flashing folder with a question mark on it. I tried booting using the various key combinations and as I understood it, my last resort at fixing it myself would be using Disk Utility on the installation DVD.
    This is what happens:
    I boot the computer, insert the disk, press down and hold C (also tried Option). I hear the computer trying to read the disk, but after a considerable aount of time holding down the key and a grey screen, the disk ejects and the flashing folder returns.
    Could anyone offer an insight or advice?
    At this point I'm not even that interested in fixing the machine, but there are some extremely valuable files that I need to recover (the machine gave out just days before I got my extrenal HDD to back them up).
    I'm worried about taking the machine down to the Genius Bar - I'm a completely self-supporting student and I imagine the recovery cost would be huge (if anyone could provide any information on the potential cost of the repair and/or recovery that would help).

    One thing to try without needing the install disk: reboot holding down cmd-S. It should reboot to a black screen and text prompt. Type the following, with spacing exactly as shown, hit the return key after each line:
    mount -uw /
    fsck -fy
    Then type
    reboot
    and see if that helps.
    Do you have any other Macs in the household (or cna use a friend's) that you can try connecting to it with a Firewire cable? If so, reboot the iMac holding down T, you should see a large Firewire symbol moving across the screen. Connecting to another Mac with a FW cable will show you the iMac's hard drive mounted to the other Mac's desktop.
    You can also try Diskwarrior, which fixes drive filestructure problems. It's around $100.
    Professional data recovery cost would depend on a) whether the hard drive is actually at fault, b) if it's physically damaged or just has a filestructure problem. A physically damaged drive can go into the thousands of dollars for data recovery; a drive with filestructure issues usually costs a lot less to recover files.

  • Can't restore from Disk Utility while booted from OS installation DVD

    I'm absolutely astounded by this.
    I have a new MacBook Pro 17". I restored my files to it and in short order, had it too full/fragmented to re-partition it for Boot Camp.
    So I decided to image the disk and store that image file on a FireWire drive, wipe the system disk and restore it cleanly from the image file backup, hoping that would result in contiguous blocks used so that I could then re-partition for Boot Camp.
    When booted off the OS X for Intel DVD-ROM disc (10.4.6 - the one that came with my MacBook Pro), if I get out of Installer and into Disk Utility, if I select the internal hard drive and click the Restore tab, I can easily select the hard drive backup image with the button. But the "Destination Disk:" box is only accessible via dragging the disk to the box.
    There's one little problem - there is no Desktop, so the disk(s) do not appear on the Desktop. There is no way to drag the target disk to be restored to into the Destination Disk: box. You cannot drag a disk out from the little sidebar inside the Disk Utility window over to the Destination box. I tried. You can't drag any disk anywhere from that sidebar. It's clear that the only way to drag a disk anywhere is if it's shown on the Desktop in Finder (which isn't running when the installation DVD-ROM is booted from). There is simply no way that I can find to restore a disk drive from a saved backup disk image when booted from the installation DVD-ROM.
    Please tell me I'm ******** and missing something, or if there's a Better Way to do this. (I can't seem to run Retrospect while booted off the DVD-ROM, so I can't restore from my Retrospect full backup of the disk, either. Joy!)
    (I'm really curious if there's a Better Way - especially because it appears I can't boot from an external FireWire or USB 2.0 drive, so I need something that will work in this extremely limited installation DVD-ROM booted environment, I think.)
    MacBook Pro 17" dual 2.16 GHz ;   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   Booted from Mac OS X for Intel 10.4.6 installation DVD-ROM

    You can use an external bootable drive with a MacBook Pro -- check your manual or the built in help. Your problem is that for some reason, you can't install a bootable system on one. There are several reasons why Installer won't enable you to do so: insufficient space, incompatible partition scheme (should be GUID) or file system (should be HFS+ or similar), or wrong installation option selected.
    It is possible this is related to why you can't drag the startup volume to the destination box in Disk Utility. It must be an HFS+ variant file system.
    I think you should check carefully with D.U. the partition scheme of all your drives & the file system format of all the volumes involved. Also run repair disk, as someone has already pointed out.
    The behavior with the Restore function is not normal -- you should be able to drag a volume to the destination box from the list.

  • My MacBook Pro will not boot. When I inserted the OSx installation DVD, there is no hard drive to select. I can't eject the DVD either. Do I need to reinstall the operating system? Please help!

    I forgot to mention that there is a grey screen on startup also a flashing folder with a question mark. I have tried the solutions offered on these forum pages. I cannot get past the disk utility screen.

    Regarding the DVD in the optical drive:

    The MBP cannot find the OSX, and either the HDD or connector has failed.  If you can get the installation DVD to work, start the installation process and when the menu bar appears on the display, select 'Utilities'.  From the drop down menu, select Disk Utility>First Aid and run 'Verify' and 'Repair'.  If unsuccessful, a new HDD is in your future.
    If you cannot get the DVD to function, then a trip to an Apple store is your best option.
    Ciao.

  • How to format HDD and reinstall OS on macbook pro mid 2010 without the installation DVD.

    After updated the OS with MAVERICKS becomme my macbook very slow. So I want to format the HDD and reinstall the OS but without the installation DVD - (lost).
    Could some one advise me how to proceed? Thank you

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    OS X Lion and newer include OS X Recovery to reinstall Mac OS X without the need of a DVD. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    First of all, copy your most important files to an external drive, or make a backup of your files. Then, hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting, open Disk Utility and erase Macintosh HD by choosing it in the Disk Utility's sidebar and going to Erase tab.
    Finally, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X
