Mac OS X 10.5: How to get a replacement installation disk?

Well this is more than a little embarrassing, but I took in a couple recently because the woman was being abused by her own family and they feared for her safety and life. I treated them just like a daughter and son-in-law for over a month. They finally found jobs and a new place to live, so they moved out hastily one weekend, leaving some of their stuff...and taking some of mine. We won't talk about what was missing, except for some reason, one of the things they took was my OSX 10.5 startup disk for my nearly new MacBook Pro.
Can I get a new start-up disk for it in case I need it? Where do I order that?
And where can I find a large supply of faith in humanity that is gone now?

Contact them if possible; otherwise, phone Apple(1-800-SOS-APPL in the United States) and ask for a replacement.

I've got OSX/Genieo.A virus on my mac and don't know how to get rid of it and why I have it

I've got OSX/Genieo.A virus on my mac and don't know how to get rid of it and w I have it

There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
You installed the "Genieo" malware. The product is a fraud, and the developer knowingly distributes an uninstaller that doesn't work. I suggest the procedure below to disable Genieo. This procedure may leave a few small files behind, but it will permanently deactivate the malware (as long as you never reinstall it.)
Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Frameworks/GenieoExtra.framework
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.
If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder should open with an item named "GenieoExtra.framework" selected. Move that item to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password.
Move each of these items to the Trash in the same way:
/Applications/Genieo.app
/Applications/Reset Search.app
/Applications/Uninstall Genieo.app
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.engine.plist
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client.plist
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.genieoinnovation.macextension.client
/usr/lib/libgenkit.dylib
/usr/lib/libgenkitsa.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckit.dylib
/usr/lib/libimckitsa.dylib
~/Library/Application Support/com.genieoinnovation.Installer
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.download.plist
~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.genieo.completer.update.plist
If there are other items with a name that includes "Genieo" or "genieo" alongside any of those listed above, move them as well. Some of these items will be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
Restart and empty the Trash. Don't try to empty the Trash until you have restarted.
Step 2
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including ones called "Genieo" or "Omnibar," and any that have the word "Spigot" or "InstallMac" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Your web browser(s) should now be working, and you should be able to reset the home page and search engine. If not, stop here and post your results.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install this trojan. Chances are you got it from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad has a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If youever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
Finally, be forewarned that when Genieo is mentioned on this site, the attacker sometimes shows up under the name "Genieo support." He will tell you to run a fake "uninstaller." As he intends, the uninstaller does not completely remove the malware, and is in fact malware itself.

It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition. Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot. Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot. If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that. Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML. If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work.
At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD.
An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again. However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

I have a 4s iPhone which I loaded the new Os on last night. Now I can not connect to iTunes. A message comes up saying i need 10.6.3 or later but I am running 10.6.1 as I have an older Mac. Anyone have ideas how to get this to work?

How to rebuild OS, without installation disk(s)?

I recently purchased a Mac Pro. It did not come with a restore installation disk. If I needed to rebuild my OS, how do I do it without installation disks?

Restart with the Option key held down and use the preloaded recovery partition. If that becomes unavailable, the computer will download a new one from Apple's servers.

How to get rid of installation alert sign on mac?

Hi,
I have a really annoying Installation alert on my mac book pro.
Hot do I get rid of it?
Thanks
D
D

Also note that if you have multiple users logged in and another user has the applications open that the installation alert is referencing then A)that may cause the alert in your account and B)quitting those applications in the other users account may remove the alert. In my situation my wife and I use the same laptop but have separate user accounts and I found that when I got one of these alerts, logged in to her account and quit the relevant apps, then logged back in to my account the alert was gone.

How to get new iTunes installation to "recognize" library on different drive

I had two hard drives on my PC - call them A:\ and B:\.
iTunes was installed on A:\.
A:\ was limited in storage capacity, so at some point I moved my iTunes library to the much larger B:\ - and it remains there today. The iTunes Media Folder location is B:\iTunes\iTunes Media. (This switchover of the library to B:\ was accomplished a long time ago, and frankly I do not remember how I "made it work" - as will become clear in this post...).
The hard drive A:\ crashed and I lost everything. Good thing all the music and other content is on B:\ !
I replaced A:\ with a new drive, call it C:\ and installed iTunes on that new drive.
Now, how to I get the newly installed iTunes on C:\ to use the library that is on B:\ - to display all the music (and movies, etc.), let me create playlists, synch my iPods, iPad and iPhone, etc.?
I went into iTunes to Preferences > Advanced and changed the iTunes Media Folder location to B:\iTunes\iTunes Media, and saved. What do I do now? I thought it would be as simple as using iTunes' "Add file to library", then navigating to B:\, selecting the root iTunes folder and clicking "Open." But that doesn't do it.
What do I need to do?
Also - when I get the new installation of iTunes to work with the old library, will my old playlists still be there?
Will the device profiles of my various devices still be recognized (as they were when using my previous installation of iTunes), or will I have to introduce them to iTunes as if they were new devices?

Hello Mae Sot,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like, from your description that we need to point iTunes to the library located in the 'B:\' drive and have iTunes load it.
You definately did one of the steps to tell iTunes to store and access content to the correct library. Next do this to "load" that specific iTunes library:
If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
You should see one of the following screens:
From: iTunes: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1589
It should contain the playlists you had before.
All the best,
Sterling

How to Get New Windows Setup Disk

I got an r61i with Windows XP a couple of years ago. I purchased another hard drive and installed Linux on it. That is what I normally use, but, I kept the drive with XP when I need to use Widows.
I seem to have lost the drive with XP on it. I guess I'll have to get another drive and get a new setup disk, but, I can't find out how on the Lenovo site. I bought the computer new (through CDW). I saw another post where someone with the same computer downloaded Windows XP, but, I can't find any mention on the Lenovo site of either obtaining a CD or downloading.
Does anyone know?

I have a MBP with service center for last 21 days. The issue is device doesn't boot up. They are replacing part by part logic board, hard disk, wires and still they need more time. No confidence over there service wing. How to get MBP replacement?

I submitted my MBP 2012 model to service center on
1. August 12: They reinstalled OS. Took it back on 13th evening
2. August 14: They did some hardware check and reinstalled OS. Took it back on 20th evening
3. August 21: Stil with service center, they are investigating
What service they are providing.
Very bad experience with apple.

After august 21:
They changed logic borad and told me that HDD is fine.
After few days I called back they told me HDD is faulty.
I do not know rather they do not know what is the issue.
Thats why I want complete replacement of MBP.
Then they say about policies.
I want to get MBP replaced, as the warranty has expired on 28th.
I do not know whether they can resolve issue or not
The super advisors from apple team are also co-ordinating still it is taking too long.
So my question is I need a repacement, How to get it?

How to get the replace iphone in Malaysia or Vietnam?

I got wifi problem with iphone 4s. After trying all methods to fix it, I totally give up and now, I want to a replace iphone. How could I get a replace iPhone in Malaysia or Vietnam?

Warranty is valid only in country of original purchase. You will
have to return the iPhone to that country for repair/replacement,
meaning you will have to bring it there yourself or ship it to
a friend or relative in that country who will bring it in and send
back to you - all shipping and insurance costs are your
responsibility. Apple does not accept international shipments for
repair nor does Apple ship out of the country after repair/replacement.

How to get Mountain Lion after disk is deleted

I've deleted my hard disc in DU after pressing cmd+R. Then I tried to reinstall my Lion, but it didn´t work. I then restarted the computer and the computer search the internet for a while ending up that I could only install Mountain Lion. The problem is that it does not allow me to install it as I haven´t purchased it. And I can´t go back to install Lion. I've tried to purchase Mountain Lion from another computer so my Apple ID would be identified as I've purchased it. I´ve also tried to update via Safari from start up but it says it could not access mac adresses. My question: How can I buy Mountain Lion outside the actual computer that needs the installation.

It would help to know what type and age of computer it is, what OS it had originally and why you erased it. Perhaps you had dallied with a beta of ML and now want to rationalise your system?
Lion and ML have different Recovery Partitions, so it is not possible to go from one to the other without doing a complete erase, of the recovery partitions as well, from an external disk.
If you managed to purchase ML from MAS on the other computer, you can download a copy of the full 10.8.3 installer (4.4Gb) from the "Purchases" tab. It will download to the Applications folder and then ask if you want to install it on that machine. Make a copy of the Application and put it somewhere else. It will delete if allowed to run.
I'm not sure if you can just link two computers together and use one to do an erase install on the other, but some one will know. Else, I would buy an external hard disk, link it to the other computer and install onto it. Copy the full installer across too.
Now do an erase install on your own computer. Afterward you can use this external disk as your backup, using Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) to keep it up-to-date.

How do I get A new installation disk???

Hello,
I reacently was given a linksys wireless b broadband router
#befw11s4 ver.4, however it did not have the installation disk with it. When I hooked it up(and yes I hooked it up correctly) it worked just fine, well just fine if you just want to use the desktop that origanally had dsl,
But the router(which by now I have a couple of new words for) simply refuses to have anything to do with my laptop or my linksys wireless b notebook adapter. So the only thing that I know is I need the installation cd, but seeing as I don't have one the only logical solution would be to get one, and that is the problem, so my question is where do you get the cd's or just downloading the contents would be fine, I don't need a cd just whats on it. Oh and if possible could someone point me to a free one? Because if I had any money I would have already put mine through the wall and bought a new one with better standards and a cd.
Thank you for you're time and help,
Chris Cain

Thank you for you're time and help.

Getting 10.4 installation disks

Does anyone know where I can get the 10.4 installation disks? I have an old Powerbook that I want to give to my mom, and I would like to get it as current as I can (it only has a 667MHz processor).
Thanks,
DT

davetavani, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available from Apple. For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4) . Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray). Expect to pay (possibly a lot) more than the Apple list price of $129.
Also check this web store http://www.lacomputercompany.com/cgi-bin/rpcart/index.cgi?command=dispitem&type= sku&sku=19521
Possible Alternative - OS X Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD $74.95
http://www.yourmacstore.com/shop/shopexd.asp?id=376&bc=no
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
